Shopping for a new social media agency can be a tricky process because so many poser firms have hung "social media agency" shingles. It's extraordinary that some agencies making that claim have little background or depth actually executing social. This article offers questions and easy to utilize flash knowledge-tests that no poser agency could bullsh*t its way through.
Poser agencies have pretty websites claiming social media services, but they're actually old-world firms staking a claim as a recovery tactic for the obsolescence of that agency's previous service focus. They're often entrenched PR, SEO or link building companies searching for new relevance.
Finding an agency that can answer the questions and pass the tests below would be impressive. It's likely that any agency that can will be a special partner.
12 Brutal Questions
- How many years of history does your agency have actually providing social media services to clients? How many clients have you had? What brands? Your agency blog has tons of posts about social media marketing. What clients have you executed these tactics for, other than your own agency?
- Social media communities now drastically restrict organic reach. What's your agency's strategy to support organic social content distribution?
- How does your social media management result in SEO success (social signals, links, SERPs)?
- How do your social media strategies serve public relations objectives?
- How will your social media marketing activities result in sales?
- What are the backgrounds of the employees who will work on my account? How many years of experience do they have? What other non-social-media marketing skills and experience do they have?
- Explain in detail how your agency proposes to use Google+. Why? Please explain why Google+ is important.
- What does "social share of voice" mean to your agency? Please provide examples of your standard social SOV reports.
- Describe how the agency uses big data (Boolean queries, competitive social gap analysis, etc.) to reverse engineer and rout competitors' previous and current social media strategies?
- How does the agency quantify branding, which can occur from social media?
- Does your agency understand current FTC disclosure rules? What safeguards exist to protect brand and agency alike from potential liability?
- Please provide examples of standard social media reports. Where does the data come from? What third-party reports and APIs are utilized to form the reports? How does the agency use the reports to increase attributable sales?
Point Blank Tests
The next questions are best levied in the moment verbally, as opposed to providing your potential social media partner time to research the answers. They'll serve as a spot check as to the institutional knowledge of the account representative you're dealing with. The more senior the rep, the more that person should know. These are the types of questions where, if you asked someone at a party, if they don't know, they're not serious social media professionals.
- Who are Facebook's partner-data providers? Why are they important and to which aspects of social content distribution?
- What years were digg.com and stumbleupon.com most important to social marketers? Why were they important to the progression of social media? What evolutionary phenomenon diminished these communities?
- Why are social media and retargeting such a cool 1-2 punch?
- What are the most important differences between social media, PR and SEO?
- What do you hate about South by Southwest the most?
- What's your agency's philosophy as to how social is best tracked in an attribution model?
Now that old-school link baiting and building are long dead and buried, lines between social media, public relations, SEO and psychographic paid organic amplification are inexorably blurred. Near-ubiquitous attribution analytics facilitates a true understanding of how social fits in the online marketing ecosystem. Targeted distribution of multichannel content (in a colorful array of organic, paid and hybrid page units) is no longer the problem.
Finding an agency that can answer these questions would be impressive. It's likely that any agency able to would be a special partner indeed. Best of luck in your search!

re: "Why are social media and retargeting such a cool 1-2 punch?"
Internet marketing guru, Marty Weintraub of AimClear argues that content marketing can and should always be amplified using both paid and organic social content distribution, no matter how strong the non-paid distribution, he argues that content is wasted compared to the exposure it could receive for relatively small money.

Marty– spot on, buddy!
Smart to ask them about their process and reporting, since most social agencies don't have that. Too easy to hide behind "strategy" or just running ads to boost engagement.
Good article ;))
Marty, we're on an aggressive hunt for a social media, PR, SEO, Facebook, etc agency…We're a mobile device oriented huge "cash back" shopping site.
Question: How will I possibly ask the 12 questions of aimClear? LOL, seriously, I'd love to speak with you about your organizational expertise. We've heard great things and would enjoy exploring a possible fit.
I suppose I'll need to come up with some new questions. Although I suspect you'll have some good answers!

Brussels Sprouts and Apple Salad with Cheddar and Rye Breadcrumbs
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: With its brussels sprouts, apple, cheddar, rye bread, and mustard, this hearty salad is the kind of thing you'll want alongside a sausage and beer on a Saturday, but—good news—it's also light enough for Tuesday's lunch, and making it won't drag you down, either. The mustard-coated brussels sprouts roast on a baking sheet next to another where torn pieces of rye bread are toasting. Then there's some quick knife work cubing apples and cheddar, and some graceful dressing-whisking, and you have lunch. To take this salad to work, pack up the brussels sprouts, breadcrumbs, arugula, and cheese separately, and bring the cut apples in the vinaigrette so that the acid in the dressing keeps the apples from browning. Toss everything together when you're hungry. —Ali Slagle
Makes: 2 lunches
pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
teaspoon red pepper flakes
Dijon mustard, for drizzling
cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
slices Jewish rye bread
tart, crisp apple (like Granny Smith or Jonagold)
ounces sharp cheddar cheese
cup apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
cup honey
cup arugula
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Dump the brussels sprouts into a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and the red pepper flakes, and drizzle with enough olive oil and mustard to coat. Give the brussels sprouts a good toss with your hands, making sure they're well-coated with oil and mustard. Spread evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast, stirring once for even browning, until crispy and cooked through about 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, tear the bread into small pieces (about 1/2-inch squares). On another parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the breadcrumbs out, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil until lightly coated. Toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
- Peel and core the apple, then cut it into small (say, ½ inch) cubes. Cube the cheddar the same size, too. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Then whisk in about 3/4 cup olive oil—enough so that the dressing is emulsified and tastes good to you.
- Once the brussels sprouts are at room temperature, add them to a mixing bowl with the apple, cheddar, and arugula. Pour over a little vinaigrette (you may not need all of it), gently toss, and add more vinaigrette if the salad looks dry. Then add the breadcrumbs and serve.

An update from Bridget, a sophomore majoring in psychology and journalism:
Learning about John Fitzgerald Kennedy from so many different perspectives, including those of Professors Simon and Stone, has shed a new light on what I thought I knew about the Kennedy administration and Kennedy himself. Previously, I identified JFK with the image: the perfect Catholic family, the summers in Hyannis Port, Jackie Kennedy. This class, however, has exposed me to Kennedy the person, rather than Kennedy as a character. Having a history professor teaching us about Kennedy in the context of foreign and national affairs creates a portrait of Kennedy I never knew before.
The most intriguing aspect of this class is that Professors Simon and Stone provide students with so many portrayals of Kennedy, it is up to us to form our own opinions. We read multiple sources in preparation for class: some highly praise Kennedy and revere him as a classic American hero, while others criticize him for being an overly confident womanizer whose family influence bought his way into the White House, and, in a way, both sides have some truth. But the trick for the students is to be able to absorb all the information we're given yet simultaneously filter it and reform it through our own perceptions and experiences as Generation Y.

Hardy locals braved the rain in their masses to attend this year's Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show on 17th August.
Despite the downpours, attendance was high and Westover was out in force, represented by its Land Rover, Jaguar, Renault, Dacia, Kia, Skoda and Fiat brands."It was such a shame that we suffered from the weather," says Westover's Suzy Otton, who attended on the day. "Despite fewer visitors than in previous years, our team managed to speak to plenty of customers and other familiar faces, and we also welcomed a lot of new visitors to our stands too. As ever, it was a great event - with the British spirit undampened by the English summer. The day was definitely enjoyed by all, including the Westover staff working on the day."
New for 2015 was the invitation to all trade exhibitors to display a scarecrow on their pitches. Over 80 scarecrows of all shapes and sizes made an appearance.
Westover was in good company, with over 600 trade stands set up at the show, plus another 30 waiting in the wings in case any late space became available. The food hall was packed with tasty treats and the Bold Dogs motorcycle display team put on a stunning show.
The team at Westover are looking forward to next year's show on 17 August 2016 - and also, fingers crossed, to better weather!

Thousands of immigrant children have disappeared throughout EuropeRate this title
The impressive wave of immigrants lead to the disappearance of thousands of children in European countries.
The migration phenomenon Europe is struggling with created genuine social tragedies over the past year. The afflux of immigrants resulted in the entire region facing an event that is almost impossible to manage in due time. From that point on, tragic events were within an inch of happening.
According to BBC, in 2015 over a million persons from countries like Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan entered the European Union territory. Among these people there were thousands of unaccompanied children who had run away from war, hunger and poverty. According to the data made available by the British periodical, in 2015 over 10,000 children have practically disappeared throughout Europe.
It is a truly cruel reality. Once they entered the European territory, these children found themselves facing a series of difficult choices. According to the data, many of them had to sell sexual services in order to be able to buy food.
In this dark scenario there is another possibility. It is known that organ trafficking in certain European States has increased with the wave of immigrants. This is why the possibility that a significant number of the children who disappeared might have been victims of organ trafficking groups is high.
If we were to consider this aspect over a larger period, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) released to the public a series of even more disturbing facts: it is estimated that over the last 18 to 24 months the total number or immigrant children who disappeared throughout Europe is over 26,000.
European authorities will have to come up with solutions to these alarming events as soon as possible. It is unacceptable that on the territory of a political construction of this scale children, whether they be natives or immigrants, become mere merchandise traded by organized crime and sex trafficking entities and groups.
This stands as another test the European Union will face in the near future. It is true that the European construct has dealt with many obstacles over the last years, but if it does manage to overcome these obstacles, the EU will prove to be a structure capable of standing the test of time.

So, you're looking for that perfect LCD TV. It can be a challenging task. Finding the LCD TV is the easy part however finding a good price that will fit into your budget is the hard part. There are many tactics you can use to find a good price on a small LCD TV. One good strategy for finding the best price for a small LCD TV is to shop at specific times of the year. Another strategy is to keep an eye out for coupons and special discounts. Lets look more closely at how you can utilize these tactics effectively. Soon you'll be on you're way to finding a great LCD TV!
- slide 2 of 7
Best Times of Year to Shop
A great way to get the best small LCD TV prices is to shop at specific times of the year. The best times are before and after national holidays and key sporting events.
Stores are always trying to attract customers during holiday times. How do stores attract customers? Through Sales. Sales and good prices go hand in hand. So in other words, holidays lead to good prices. Whether it's New Year's Day or Halloween, stores offer good prices on holidays. Now with that being said sometimes it can be wise to wait till after the sale is over. Stores don't advertise these discounts but they're there. One of the best holidays to wait until after the sale is Christmas. This is because Christmas is the last major holiday of the year (New Year's Eve doesn't count) and stores are trying to get rid of the old models to bring in the models of the next year. However, even Christmas does not beat post-thanksgiving sales. Most people know these sales as Black Friday. Black Friday is the biggest day for sales. Prices are slashed by huge margins. Small LCD TVs can drop down more than 50% in price sometimes on this day. So if you're looking for the best prices of the year be sure you're ready for the day after Turkey Thursday, Black Friday.
Major sports games also present a good time to buy LCD TVs. The best sporting event is definitely the Super Bowl. Prices around this time are almost as good as during Christmas weekend.

Waiting for coupons can be a very wise thing to do. Coupons add up and can save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. Many times coupons can be used on top of sales and many times coupons can be combined for very large discounts. A good idea is to sign up via email for your favorite stores weekly ad. The weekly ad displays the deals of the week and it also offers coupons which could be of great use to you. Another way of acquiring coupons is to open up a credit card with the store or join a rewards program. The dividends of these memberships start pouring in. As the year goes on you will collect more and more points. By the time the holiday season is around you will have acquired enough points to get you a boatload of discounts. The last way to easily acuire coupons is to do a search on the internet for either printable coupons or coupon codes. Printable coupons are pretty self explanatory, they can be printed at home and redeemed at the store for a discounted price. Coupon codes apply when shopping on the internet. As you checkout there is normally an option that says promotional code or coupon code. If you have one of these codes it can really save you a lot of money.
You'll be shocked at the price of your dream LCD TV after acquiring all these coupons. Your dream LCD will finally be within your budget.
- slide 5 of 7
Shop Online
Shopping on the internet is a great way to save money. Prices on the internet (especially for small LCD TVs) are very good. As I mentioned before you can also use coupon codes to save on the internet. The best part about shopping on the internet is you can make all the purchases from the comfort of your home. Many people prefer shopping online to shopping in store because it can be a much more relaxing experience. Now with that being said when shopping on the internet be careful of the site you're purchasing from. Make sure it is a reliable and safe website. Don't forget you are giving out your credit card number which always can be a risky thing. Some very useful tips on keeping your credit card information safe on the internet can be found here. Aside from credit card risks also be cautious of hidden fees like shipping costs.

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Berklee College of Music, I attended the most prestigious contemporary music school in the world. I was exposed to so many amazing styles of music and rubbed shoulders with the most incredible musicians you can imagine (and performed alongside them)! I have taken my experiences and knowledge from Berklee and infused it into my teaching style. I do use Suzuki method because I believe it is an excellent foundation to work upon, but I also think that jazz and contemporary studies are a great way to expand one's horizon and learn about music in an entirely new and fun way!

Just had my first cello lesson with Sage, considering all there is to learn, I felt very encouraged. Her calm teaching style helped me to get past my initial anxiety.
Looking forward to my next lessons!
Brit (Sage) was terrific! She really helped me identify some areas to work on that I hadn't thought of before. My playing has definitely improved.
I would recommend her.
I like that Brit wrote down my assignments and specific things to work on before my next lesson. That's a great help for me.
Love Brit! She is filled with energy! Positive feedback and encouraging correction... would definitely reccomed her as an instructor!😃
We appreciate her attention to detail with all aspects of the lessons from what she is working on with the student to what practice exercises the student needs to do. She keeps the student challenged but yet makes sure the song or excercise is doable. She has a caring and warm demeanor. We highly recommend her to teach your student.+ Read More
Britt is professional and approachable. She keeps you up-to-date on upcoming lessons, changes, payments, etc. via email or text. She is flexible in scheduled time. My daughter enjoys her one-on-one lessons with Britt and has advanced her cello playing due to Britt's guidance. I would certainly encourage those interested in polishing their instrument skills to call on Britt.+ Read More
Absolutely great. Knows how to teach at the right pace and is very patient.
Brit is punctual, consist, and very likeable. My son enjoys his lesson with her. Yes, she is a very good cellist, but teaching ability is most important to us. Great job!
Very thorough communication with parents regarding skills to work on and suggested pieces that might be of interest to the student. Brit has a great rapport with her students.
Brit is great! My daughter is learning so much!

Last night the Indiana House voted, 55-44, to pass right-to-work legislation. The Senate passed similar language earlier this week, and a final bill should be on Governor Daniel's desk next week for signature. So ends a two-year drama of entrenched interests using every possible tactic to fight worker freedoms. NTU sends its congratulations to the 55 members who faced intense pressure on the bill and stuck to their free market principles. Ultimately, this vote was about helping the workers of Indiana and making the state a better place to do business.
Last year, while the nation focused on the drama in Wisconsin, Indiana began its right-to-work fight. Due to procedures that mandates a 2/3 quorum present for all votes House Democrats were able delay consideration of the law by absconding to Illinois for weeks at a time. Republicans, who held a 60 to 40 member majority, eventually relented and pull the legislation from consideration. However, this year, new rules went into effect fining legislators $1,000 a day for consecutive missed days of work. Whether the threat of personal financial loss played a part or not, House Democrats chose not to flee the state again this year allowing for the vote to occur.
Political gamesmanship aside the argument for right-to-work laws is solid. Allowing for greater worker freedoms is sound economic policy. As NTU stated in a letter earlier this month to the Indiana legislature;
Accordingto the American Legislative Exchange Council's Rich States, Poor States, all 22 Right-to-Work states outpacedIndiana's 30 percent growth in gross state product from 1999-2009. In ourhighly mobile world, capital and jobs are flowing to those states withpro-growth environments, one key feature of which is respecting and valuing therights of workers to accept employment without being forced to pay union dues.
Theeconomic benefits of enhanced worker freedoms are quite clear. Right-to-Workstates not only see higher levels of economic growth, but more workers havejobs, and those jobs tend to pay better when compared to forced-unionizationstates. Statistics from the National Institute of Labor Relations Research,covering 2000-2010, show that Right-to-Work states have seen a 0.3 percentincrease in non-farm private sector payrolls compared to a 5.5 percent decrease elsewhere. Employees in those Right-to-Workstates have seen compensation rise by 11.3 percent over that same period versus0.7 percent in forced-unionization states.
More importantly, right-to-work is about protecting basicindividual rights. Workers should not see their paychecks held ransom by athird party which they do not choose to join. The American principle of freedomof association protects both the right of a worker to join a union if they sochoose, as well as the right to decline membership and financial support for aunion if they do not.
Hopefully, by this time next week, Indiana will be the first right-to-work state since Oklahoma in 2001 and the 23rd overall. As Speaker Bosma stated in his floor remarks, "This announces, especially in the Rust Belt, we are open for business here."

Right now if one wants to take attendance for x multiple groups all attending the same event (e.g. a Sunday morning service with multiple classes, an outreach event, etc.) one has to create an event for each group.
One can submit attendance for all these groups if they are in the same attendance grouping, but you still have to create an event for each group - which can become quite burdensome as the number of groups increases.

Category: Work-Life Balance
On opening the windows, shaking off the dust, and blogging again
I have that feeling now, that feeling where the weather starts turning warmer and you want to clean everything and throw out all of your winter clothes and go shopping. Spring fever or something like that.
I'm finally home. My traveling isn't over forever, but I don't have any work trips planned for at least a month and I'm settling back into a more normal routine.
I've missed you all. And I'm excited to be back, but also nervous that it's silly to blog after being away for months. (But, honestly, blogging is a little silly at its very nature, so whether or not there will be readers really doesn't increase or decrease its inherent silliness, am I right?)
Work has been — hard. I've been traveling and stressing out and making presentations and filtering spreadsheets and loving every minute. I've never felt more grateful for anything than I have felt these last few months for the continued opportunity to work hard in a job I love. I've had really terrible jobs, and I know how depressing and terrifying and boring it is to feel like your time is not used well and you aren't accomplishing anything because I have lived that life too. A lot. (If you are there right now, I'm sorry.)
I'm also learning first-hand how important it is to set boundaries for myself. Everything in moderation. When I'm caught up in my work, months can pass without me remembering to get a hair-cut, go out with my friends, paint my fingernails. And let's not even talk about laundry.
When you've been going nonstop and working a lot its easy to convince yourself that your work is very important and that because your work is important, you are important too. And that is a lie. Just because your job is hard or your hours are long does not mean your job is important. And, whether or not you work a lot or your job is important does not make you important. You are already important because you are a person who loves others and who is greatly loved. Being a person who is alive is AWESOME.
I'm mostly writing for myself today. And this is what I need to hear, every day, but especially when things feel insane or tedious or impossible or just plain boring. You too?
Thanks for joining me here, my friends. It's been too long, hasn't it? How are things?
What I'm Into: Summer 2014
Well, it's September. Holy cow. How did this happen? The summer has flown by in a blur, but there were a few pockets of awesome mixed in too. Here is a quick rundown of some of the things I loved (or learned) over the past few months.
I went to a professional soccer game. It was crazy fun. Did you know that fans throw beer into the air after each score during DC United soccer games? Yeah, me either. They do. (Pro tip: do not wear your suit to the game even if you are going after work. Dry-cleaning is expensive.)
I ate a lot of not-so-great restaurant food, but I also enjoyed some pretty yummy DC meals during my lengthy hotel stay. For example, have you ever eaten a scotch egg? It's a soft-boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, and then breaded and deep fried. I think. I tried this one at the Copperwood Tavern in Shirlington (Arlington), Virginia. It was delicious.
During the rare minutes I wasn't working or traveling this summer, I mostly (a) went to dinner with friends or (b) watched Netflix in my hotel room. But one weekend when H was in town we drove out to Theodore Roosevelt Island for a little wilderness. Did you know that even though they drained all of the water out of the fountains on Theodore Roosevelt Island and closed the island's bathrooms for repair, the landmark is beautiful in a weirdly Soviet way? It needs a lot of love and attention and Teddy deserves better. I was excited to finally visit the Island and — disappointment all around.
I took a four-day weekend over the Fourth of July and flew to Chicago to drive to Detroit to spend the weekend with extended inlaws. I caught two huge fish and one tiny perch and bought my own fishing pole (named Ice) and a camo fishing hat from Bass Pro Shops. It was potentially the best weekend ever.
This summer I also saw two pretty cool people get married, ate a TON of Kansas City barbecue, went to brunch with some pretty fabulous people (really, tons of Brunch. That's my kind of summer.), and learned a lot at work. After 60 days away, I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my skin and more confident about what I want out of my life. Which is to say, a cool job is cool but it isn't enough.
AND THEN I came home. It was beautiful. I crashed the first night in Chicago and then got to work, making our two-bedroom condo overlooking the city mine. My return home was one year after our move to Chicago (weird how anniversaries work, isn't it?) and only a few days before our fourth wedding anniversary, and I didn't want to enter this new year without fully unpacking from our move and settling into our space. We still had a few boxes of photographs and art pieces that needed to be hung, and we had crammed all of our excess belongings into the guest room closet (seriously, it was treacherous), and it was time to dig in and clean out. We made a huge contribution to Goodwill and have a few more furniture pieces headed that way next week.
I built these flower boxes on my balcony when I got back to Chicago. And by built, I mean I purchased them from Home Depot and encouraged my husband while he attached them to our balcony with screws. But I planted them myself and so far only 1 out of 10 of these plants is showing signs of death. And only a slight shade of death, so that's a pretty successful planting experience for this black thumbed girl.
Here is a photo of my beautiful clean kitchen. I emptied every cabinet, dusted and cleaned, scrubbed the appliances, rearranged our dishware and even set up a cookbook display to add some extra color. It doesn't look exactly like this every day, but we are trying to maintain.
And, while cleaning and sorting and donating has taken up a lot of my non-work minutes, we've also made sure to spend a little time out in the city. Chicago is a beautiful place to live, and I'm so happy to be home.

Pressing Reset
I love to work. I feel pride when I create an excellent product, or write a smart and convincing paragraph, or (more recently) learn a trick in Excel that allows me to sort efficiently through data to find fact-based answers instead of opinions or conjecture.
I feel most like myself when I'm working well. While I don't live to work exactly, I do gain a lot of personal fulfillment from my career. When I'm putting in a lot of hours or trudging through a difficult project (like I am now, with a dark and twisty project I am managing that sometimes feels like it is managing me), it is easy for me to flip to the dark side. I can begin to despair: I am terrible and worthless and stupid and eventually they will notice and my career will be over. Which, as a side note, might be because smart girls are socialized to believe they received innate smartness at birth instead of learning that good results are achieved through hard work.
Have you been here too? Have you obsessed over the tiniest details of your workload on a Saturday afternoon while going through the motions of a weekend shopping trip? Do you stare out the window of the car mentally re-hashing a meeting or remembering things you should have or could have done while the other passengers are jamming out to AC/DC? (You do still jam out to AC/DC, right? There really is no better driving music.) Have you spent too many evenings in a row, crashing on the sofa after dinner and binge-watching television that really isn't that interesting (I'm looking at you, The Killing) so you don't have to think or talk or decide anything?
When over-focused on work results, I begin to slip out of my personal life. I lose track of time, or forget things I would otherwise always remember. I recognize it quickly, but sometimes it takes me a few weeks to take action. (Once I act, I always feel really stupid for waiting so long.) When the working is too big and the living is too small, what I really need is to create something beautiful.
The underlying problem of it all is that I've forgotten to do the things that make me feel alive and proud in my non-work hours. When work demands a lot, it is too easy to give up writing time, blogging time, photography or reading or biking or yoga classes. But I'm learning that it is precisely those things that I often consider selfish or unnecessary extras that keep me alive. To bake bread, plan a delicious dinner party, browse a used book store or plan a trip or choose a new fall color scheme for this space.
When work gets hard, I must force myself to remember what is so easy to forget: I get to choose what I do, what I value, and where I focus. This week, I choose to live a beautiful life.
Half-way Home
I'm half-way through my 60-day detail in DC as of this weekend! There are only four work-weeks left until I'm back at home full time with H and Leo.
These past 30 days have been long and busy, but time is also flying by. Half of 2014 is gone. I'm nearly half-way to age 29 (how can I possibly be so dang old?!). Christmas is less than six
weeks months away. In just a few months, it will start getting colder and colder in Chicago, and I'll have to say goodbye to arms and legs and shoes worth looking forward to wearing.
I'm not ready. There are so many more things I want to do before this year is over. A lot of my internet friends are posting half-year updates, and while I don't want to go line-by-line through my plan for this year, I do want to say two things.
First, this year I wanted to attack my life instead of letting it pass me by. And for the small things I haven't. I'm still more likely to watch television than exercise, or to stay home instead of going out, or to blog or tweet instead of making that phone call. (Sorry Mom, it's just really hard.).
But for the bigger things, I'm really proud of myself. I have been more intentional about saying what I want to do, where I want to go, what I want to eat. I've prioritized traveling and seeing friends and doing what I love. And I took a few big risks this year, including that writing boot camp and my writing conference, not to mention saying yes to this job in DC.
Second, I'm starting to feel like my own person (getting older is pretty awesome on that front, huh?) and feel very confident about my skills and abilities. Over the last year I have been so lucky to work with an incredible boss and mentor; his continued support, guidance, and trust have been incredibly affirming for me. I have a newfound comfortableness in my own skin that feels incredible. I'm no longer afraid to let people see how smart I am. (I dream of a world where all women everywhere fearlessly and confidently use their whole selves and full abilities to make our world a better, safer, healthier place.)
That's where I am right now, and it's still hard, but I like it. I'm weirdly happy, even though I'm itchy from a crazy rash and tired from constant flights and sick of eating at restaurants and still using my iPhone 4 with weak battery life and low memory. This year is half-way over and things aren't perfect but I am happy, and that is awesome.
Long-term Work Travel Advice: the good and the bad
When I decided to accept a short-term detail in Washington, DC three weeks ago, I had only a few days to prepare for my departure. Like any Millennial faced with the unknown, I took to Google to gather information. I searched "long-term business travel" and read message boards from the suitcase brethren who had traveled before me.
A lot of the advice was pretty spot-on, if not a little obvious. Many commenters mentioned how easy it was to forget comfortable evening/weekend wear, and that packing a pair of sweats and a few cute, casual outfits was essential for any non-work activities that might pop up. Others articulated more health-conscious commentary, including the difficulty of maintaining weight-loss while eating so many meals in restaurants, or ensuring that the workout clothes you pack could do double-duty for either a quick jog or an impromptu yoga class. One of the best pieces of advice was about the dangers of unintentionally over-consuming alcohol: when every dinner is a once-in-a-blue-moon evening out for your friend, it's easy for a glass or two of wine at a nice dinner to become a glass or two of wine at every dinner. It's okay to have iced tea, or seltzer with lime, even if you are hanging out with a friend you haven't seen in years.
But, the one comment that I couldn't forget was about coming home. Don't do it unless you absolutely have to, one poster said. Coming home means leaving again, and you want to leave as few times as possible. Avoid coming home as much as you can.
It's true that saying goodbye is incredibly hard, but I have to tell you that, at least for me, coming home this weekend was exactly what I needed. The stress and anxiety of a new job melted away as I talked with H about my worries, my goals, what I'm doing well and what I want to do better. (I want to arrive earlier into the office each day this week, for example, and do some significant early-morning research so I can stay ahead of deadlines.)
Seeing H and having an intense round of cuddles from Leo the Cat helped me remember that my physical presence in Chicago is not essential to the daily functioning of my family – the boys are just fine without me. I don't have to feel guilty for leaving or be distracted from the cool and important work I'm doing, because they are just fine and my professional goals are important to all three of us. Well, maybe Leo is more concerned about getting his white fur on my black work slacks than he is about financial outlays or budgetary priorities or spreadsheets or regulations, but he's a cat so I think we can give him that.
And just in case this isn't obvious, spending the weekend in my city was also pretty dang fun. Fun is important, and having fun with the people you love is the most important thing of all.
I'm back in our nation's capital today, working hard and learning a lot and enjoying hot muggy weather [for America]. Going home helped me remember why I left.
Living the Dream
On Tuesday of last week I was asked to accept a short-term assignment in DC. It was a fantastic opportunity — doing work that I've always wanted to do, that I can't do from Chicago — and with only 24 hours to decide we said yes. It was kind of surreal, one of those outside-your-own-body moments. I don't know that I actually ever wanted to say "yes! I'd love to leave my home and my little family and my beach-access apartment and spend 45 days in the hot humid DC summer," but I knew somehow that I was supposed to say "yes!" and so I did. I don't like to make uninformed decisions and I don't like surprises and yet, somehow, I did it anyway.
Even now that I'm here and in the hotel and enjoying my lovely desk (with a window!) and doing the work, I'm still not sure how it all happened. And I'm not sure it wouldn't be better if I was in Chicago following my normal routine and making sure Leo gets enough cuddles and H gets sufficient calories from baked goods.
I spent the weekend soaking up the early Chicago summer. We biked to the beach and went out for burgers and drank my favorite beer. I purchased a new suit (it's navy blue and from Ann Taylor!) and packed a TON of clothes and more shoes than I've ever traveled with at one time. In one large checked bag and one Vera Bradley duffel, I packed work clothes, hanging out clothes, gym clothes, work supplies and my bike helmet. (You know, just in case I need to ride one of those rental bikes around the national mall while I'm here. Safety first.)
I spent 8.5 hours traveling on Sunday, due to repeated delays and airplane events and bad luck. When I finally checked into my hotel in DC everything around was closed. I was tired and hungry and had just paid $98 for a cab ride that was worth every single penny. I went grocery shopping at the 24-hour CVS.
I'm lucky to have the greatest of friends and family here in DC, which is my first love of cities and was my first "real" adult home. I'm so happy to be back here, for a little while, making memories and learning a lot and building on my work over the past year. But while you absolutely can go back (you just purchase a ticket and pack a bag and leave), it's never quite the same.
It's hard to really embrace a new home, like my new home in Chicago, unless you let go of your former residence. If you spend every spare minute talking to old friends and every holiday visiting old places, you don't give the new things in your life a chance to change you. These past ten months in Chicago have been hard (and remarkably cold), but they've made an impression. I'm still a DC girl at heart, but I'm not a DC resident anymore. I miss my skyscrapers and my lakefront views and my ever-present breeze. I miss my short commute too. (Seriously, even shorter than my train ride from the hotel!)
It's a lot easier to be a game changer when you're just talking about pipe dreams. Being a fierce independent woman is harder when it means traveling 700 miles from home and seeing your husband every-other-weekend. But also worth it. These 45 days could open a world of possibilities. And even if they don't, a dream fulfilled is a life well lived.
On Looking Professional without Sacrificing Productivity
Being successful at work is really important to me, and I'm at my best when I am completely focused. If I'm in "the zone," you might find that if you walk past my cubicle and say hello I'll jump a bit, completely startled that anyone else was in the room. (Thankfully we have security doors, so I don't have to worry too much about someone sneaking up behind me!) That's just how I roll: I sit down, dig in, and get things done.
But here's the thing: if my sweater sleeves are itchy, if my pants are ill-fitting, if my bangs fall in my eyes or if my shoes are uncomfortable, I can't do my best work. My mind will be distracted by how much I hate my outfit or how uncomfortable I am. I'm not sure men have these problems. But that's not what this blog post is about.
To do my best work, I need to be comfortable. A dress with a cardigan or blazer is ideal, so long as hosiery isn't rolling down or bunching up. Slacks and a sweater or blouse can also be great, if the pants fit well and my cubby isn't too hot or too cold. I really like to wear heels at my desk – partly because they feel fancy and partly because I don't have to wear socks so my feet don't get too hot. I try to wear layers that can be stripped off without scandal in case I get too warm. My ideal work set-up requires changing from flats to heels and a sweater to a blazer just like Mr. Rogers did. (Dreams do come true, kids.)
If this all sounds a little crazy to you, that's okay – my productivity makes me a fantastic employee, so if comfortable clothes and fancy shoes are what it takes for me to strategically plan broad organizational change or write and edit convincing and accurate reports on a deadline, I'm down for a little craziness.
This past week, however, a blog I read was talking about the difference between wearing clothes that make you feel good, and wearing clothes that make people think of you as the boss. As young female professionals, we want to do whatever it takes so that our management thinks of us when developing the organization's succession plan, filling vacancies, etc. And what this blog post and the comments that followed boldly stated was that the best way to be empowered in your workplace is not to feel valued and loved and comfortable in whatever position you hold or clothes you wear. The most effective way to be empowered in your workplace is to have actual power in your workplace — a.k.a. to be the boss.
While I absolutely want to dress in a comfortable way that allows me to do my best work, I also want to look like someone who should be in charge. If someone new walked into the room and scanned the people sitting around the conference room table, I want that visitor to assume I'm already holding a management position.
Spring is coming (slowly but surely) and each day I'm edging closer to 30 and farther away from 25. It's time for a[nother] closet overhaul. It seems like I need one of these every now and then! I'm not sure if fashion posts are your thing, but I'll be checking in for the next few weeks on my 2014 closet revamp.
To kick us off, today I'm linking you up with my favorite fashion blogs:
1. Capitol Hill Style – Belle's a former Capitol Hill Staffer, and she provides realistic and specific advice for a professional wardrobe on a variety of budgets, and she includes plus size options and hair and makeup recommendations.
2. Corporette – Fashion, lifestyle, and career advice from former firm attorney turned full-time blogger, Kat. The comment sections here are incredible, and if you have a question about how to navigate a difficult work situation or what to wear to work-ish events, this is where you want to go.
3. The Small Things Blog – For hair and makeup and all-around beauty, Kate's blog is the place to go. I used one of her hair tutorials for my hairstyle during one of my best friend's weddings last summer, and she gives honest reviews of products to help you find what works for you. She also just had a very adorable baby. Kate's archives are gold.
Okay, so tell me where you fall on the spectrum: do you dress for comfort or to make a positive impression? Maybe a little bit of both? Does hearing this perspective on empowerment make you re-evaluate your own wardrobe choices?

George Lucas may not realize that the computer-generated imagery for his 1977 "Star Wars" movie was created at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 1976, California artist Larry Cuba was hired to create a computer model of the Death Star that is used in the Rebel Alliance briefing room scene. Cuba spent several months at the UIC Electronic Visualization Laboratory (previously called the UIC Circle Graphics Habitat) and used its computer graphics hardware and software to create the animation.
The Death Star data still exist, the equipment still exists and, more serendipitously, the equipment still works.
"Star Wars" came out years before Lucas created Industrial Light & Magic, and years before he created its precursor, the Lucasfilm computer graphics research group, which ultimately became Pixar.

Trophy Country Waterfowl Hunting
Looking for a new place to hunt waterfowl? Trophy Country may just be the best kept secret for waterfowl hunting. With new additions to our staff we are concentrating on intense management of our wetland areas.
Trophy Country is located in the Mississippi Flyway on the East Fork of the Chariton River. In addition, we are in close proximity to Swan Lake, Thomas-Hill Reservoir, Long Branch Reservoir, Macon Lake, and Mark Twain Lake. There are 400 acres of commercial fish farms, and a Missouri Department of Conservation waterfowl project adjacent to Trophy country. This, in addition to the abundance of water on our own lakes, contribute to good flights of ducks and geese. Many giant Canadian Geese call this property home.
In an additional commitment to the sport of hunting waterfowl, 2,200 acres has been entered into the Wetlands Reserve Program. Waterfowl habitat as designed by state and federal authorities was completed in 2008. A portion of this development has resulted in shooting areas of periodically flooded hardwood timber, which is quite unique for the upper portion of Missouri.
You are welcome to bring your own dog, decoys, and layouts.
We are in the North zone, please click here for available hunting schedules.
Missouri Waterfowl & Upland Game Bird Hunting
Trophy Country has Missouri's largest federally designed wetland reserve areas for private duck hunting. Call for hunting by the day or season lease.

Review by Sharon Bader
In 2009 Norco has completely revamped its DH line. Using the same hydroformed frame with adjustable 8-9inch of rear travel as the A-line Park edition and DH Frame the lower spec'd Aline makes up this worthy trio. Coming in three sizes for 2009 I was on the small frame which was a good fit for me for downhill riding. This new frame design lowers the standover, lowers the shock placement, allows for adjustable bottom bracket height and head tube angle, has an internal forged 1.5″ to 1 1/8th head tube, forged links and 150×12mm through hole dropouts.
The Bike
Like all Norcos the A-line comes with the Horst Link rear suspension. This is the Specialized patent which locates the rear pivot on the chain stay. This separates braking and pedaling from the suspension and prevents Brake Jack since the wheel moves freely in the vertical direction during braking.
Front end
Marzocchi RCV – 200mm of travel, with RCV – Rebound and Compression Adjustment
Rear end
Fox DHX3 Providing 8-9 inches of rear travel, this 0.79lb shock offers coil spring preload, adjustable tuning range via air in the Boost Valve, factory set pro pedal and rebound adjusment. Sag is adjusted via the coil spring. Rebound is easily adjusted via the small red knob at the bottom of the shock. Air between 125-200psi in the Boost Valve will control bottom out resistence.
The bike is equipped with Truvativ Hussefelt components – Hussefelt riser bar (334g), Crank(770g), generic pedals, WTB Silverado race saddle which is also used by ten-time DH world champion Nicolas Vouilloz!
For downhill riding only a single front chain ring with E-13 SRS, with white guard that looked quite flashy, durable SRAM X-7 rear derailier, SRAM X-7 shifters.
The Avid Code 5 brakes, keeping the 4 piston caliper and ease of maintenance of the higher end brakes, the Code 5 contains Dot 4 fluid and weighs in at 447g.
WTB Laser Disc FR 30, 32 hole rims weigh in at 570g with the UNBENDIUM bulge with ano green KT Q-Lite Hubs.
Comes standard with a replaceable and extra rear dropout.
About me:
I am 5'9″, weigh 154lbs. I have been riding for 18 years. As mentioned above I come from an XC hardtail background but have moved with technology and ride a Titus RacerX for XC, a Turner 6 pack for DH and Shore riding and a Knolly Endorphin set up for more freeriding/shore/technical XC riding. My Bikes!
The Ride:
Shore – Mt. Seymour
Mt Seymour is the local shuttle mountain in the North Shore. The DH trail of choice is Neds Atomic Dustbin. This is a trail with a consistent grade, wide and allows you to choose varying lines of smooth or technical. After a few minutes of getting used to the 64o head angle and handling of this bike it was like wearing an old hat. As this is a trail I have ridden many times on many different bikes I tried to ride the trail by trying to move the bike around the technical terrain. This required a lot of work, once I pointed the bike downhill and let it go it was able to move effortlessly. This bike soaked up jumps like they weren't even there. As someone who prefers to keep the wheels on the ground, taking air with this bike was effortless and limited only by your fear. This bike definitely has a speed that it performs at and that speed is fast. If you are hesitant about getting air and would like to, this bike will give you the confidence you need to take you there. Just be careful since it may inspire more confidence then your skill level at this time. My neighbour (who weighs 190lbs) recently purchased a 2005 Norco A-line, I let him ride the 2009 A-line to get his impression. He found the bike much slacker and found added confidence at speed and on jumps with this bike.
Whistler Bike Park
The A-line is built for the park. Pointed down on any of the trails, technical, fast, steep or not this bike was in its element. Put it on the lift for the ride up and have a seat for the ride down this bike will keep you riding for hours. Very responsive to preloading it would lift off the ground and sail over the tabletops and step downs at speeds that I don't normally reach. I was able to jump more jumps on this bike then with previous bikes. The main limitation was the WTB Dissent 2.5 tires on wet rocks and roots. The tires performed great in dry conditions and I was able to corner confidently and fast. I was able to enter steep rugged terrain with confidence due to the stability of the bike and because I was able to carry more speed which essentially flattened the terrain. If you are on a bike that you feel is limiting your ability to go fast, this would be the bike for you. The heavy frame and build will withstand many days of hard riding.

ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Russia and Belarus have resolved all the disputes between them over energy, the countries' two presidents said on Monday after meeting in the Russian city of St Petersburg.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Russian and Belarussian governments will implement the two leaders' agreement within the next 10 days, and that a roadmap had been agreed for energy cooperation up to 2020.
Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, speaking at a joint news conference with Putin after their talks, confirmed the deal, and thanked the Russian leader for helping refinance his country's debts to Russia.

Abundantly Krafty!
Posted by Julee (Vervegirl)
I don't know about you, but after seeing all the Diva's krafty projects, it's been making me pull the kraft cardstock out alot more! For my card, I chose to pair it with Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip!
The base of my card is {obviously} kraft and then I cut a piece of the green floral print paper from the Urban Garden collection by SU! I mounted this on a piece of Chocolate Chip and then sewed them together. I also sewed a border around the whole background panel. The main image stamps are from Abundant Blessings. I stamped then in Chocolate Chip and in Versamark. The sentiment is from So Happy. I tied a piece of May Arts green satin ribbon around the background panel, added some Bazzill brads and wa-la! Super easy and elegant card! That's what I love most about Verve Stamps. They're all so elegant, I just love the fonts!

Love the colors you used and the sewing and ribbon really add the WOW to this card, great job!ReplyDelete
I totally love this card!ReplyDelete
I'm really in the "krafty" mood but I don't have any "Kraft" paper! Please forgive me but I'm new to stamping so I really don't know exactly what kraft paper is! I have some paper that looks similar to the paper that everyone is using except that it's lighter in color. Can I use that or could you tell me where to buy the real deal! I really want to get in on this challenge. :)ReplyDelete
BTW, all these cards are AWESOME! You are really inspiring me!
Gorgeous card, Amber!ReplyDelete
so elegant - love this card!ReplyDelete

As a result of the civil war that has raged in Ukraine since April 2014, at least 7,000 people have been killed and more than 15,400 wounded, many of them grievously. According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 1.2 million eastern Ukrainians have been internally displaced, while the number of those who have fled abroad, mainly to Russia and Belarus, has reached 674,300. Further, the United Nations has reported that millions of people, particularly the elderly and the very young, are facing life-threatening conditions as a result of the conflict. Large parts of eastern Ukraine lie in ruins, and relations between the United States and Russia have perhaps reached their most dangerous point since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.
And yet a special report published last fall by the online magazine the Interpreter would have us believe that Russian "disinformation" ranks among the gravest threats to the West. The report, titled "The Menace of Unreality: How the Kremlin Weaponizes Information, Culture and Money," is a joint project of the Interpreter and the Institute for Modern Russia (IMR), a Manhattan-based think tank funded by the exiled Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Cowritten by the journalists Michael Weiss and Peter Pomerantsev, this highly polemical manifesto makes the case for why the United States, and the West generally, must combat what the authors allege to be the Kremlin's extravagantly designed propaganda campaign. If implemented, the measures they propose would stifle democratic debate in the Western media.
The report seeks to awaken a purportedly somnolent American public to the danger posed by the Kremlin's media apparatus. According to Weiss and Pomerantsev, the Russian government—via RT, the Kremlin-funded international television outlet, as well as a network of "expatriate NGOs" and "far-left and far-right movements"—is creating an "anti-Western, authoritarian Internationale that is becoming ever more popular…throughout the world."
While it would be easy to dismiss the report as a publicity stunt by two journalists attempting to cash in on the Russophobia so in vogue among American pundits, their thesis has gained wide acceptance, nowhere more so than in the halls of Congress. On April 15, Pomerantsev testified before the House Foreign Relations Committee on the supposed threat posed by "Russia's weaponization of information." Committee chair Ed Royce and ranking member Eliot Engel are now expected to reintroduce a 2014 bill to reform the Voice of America, which fell into disarray following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In his opening statements at the hearing, Royce argued that the bill "will help us fight Putin's propaganda," though some critics believe it would turn the federal government's international broadcasting service into "something fundamentally not American."
Who Are These Guys?
Weiss and Pomerantsev are an unlikely pair. Weiss, youthful yet professorial in manner, has become a nearly constant presence on cable news because of his supposed expertise on, among other things, Russia, Syria, and ISIS. A longtime neoconservative journalist, he began his rise to cable-news ubiquity as a protégé of the late Christopher Hitchens. After working with Hitchens, he made his way to the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), a London-based bastion of neoconservatism that, according to a report in The Guardian, has "attracted controversy in recent years—with key staff criticised in the past for allegedly anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant comments."

Wandlebury Country Park is the perfect place for learning and education. Season by season there is no classroom quite like it. Groups of all ages from across Cambridgeshire and the surrounding counties visit the site to take part in practical, fun-filled activities that teach them about the environment, nature and history.
Throughout the year our experienced, enthusiastic team of field teachers and rangers welcome nursery, school, college, university and adult learning groups for full and half day sessions where the emphasis is always on hands-on investigations and activities in the open air.
We are a popular education destination for parents home schooling their children, youth groups, out of school clubs and adult learners from evening classes and local businesses.
Alongside nature and wildlife events there are also a variety of art, musical and literary events at our sites designed specifically for individuals and families.

This book differs from most others on the market by being aimed at an advanced audience, including upper-year undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers. Although a lot of math is presented, many of the core ideas are also presented through graphical models. The textbook also contains many examples and a practice exam.

Legislation filed in the state House would allow the Town of Zebulon to spend as much as it wants from developers' fees to pay for individual road, open space and recreation projects.
Zebulon's charter only allows the town to spend up to 50 percent of the fees it collects from developers for a single capital project. The fees must also be used within six years of the time they are deposited, or the town has to refund the fees plus interest.
But under House Bill 1147, filed in May, the charter would be amended to strike the funding limit. The town would also get 10 years from the time of collection to use the fees for different projects.
"Ensuring the town will have access to enough time and funding to complete the list of projects is the main goal of House Bill 1147," Zebulon planner Julie Spriggs said. "There is not any one project that would gain priority if HB 1147 passes, but it does ensure the likelihood there will be enough time and enough funding to complete projects before the funds expire and have to be returned."
In addition to the town's backing, Zebulon Mayor Bob Matheny said the Wake County legislative delegation unanimously supports the bill. The primary sponsors are Rep. Darren Jackson, a Knightdale Democrat; and Rep. Chris Malone, a Wake Forest Republican.
The bill was to have been reviewed Thursday by the House Government Committee. But it was pulled from the agenda, Matheny said, so that the development community could review the wording. Matheny said he expects the bill to move forward.
Fees are imposed on any development that requires a new building permit, including upfits to existing properties. Collected fees are placed into trust funds that are treated like bank accounts for projects throughout town.
Spriggs said the current 50 percent and six-year limits are too restrictive.
"By restricting the town to 50 percent of the funds for any one project, each project has the potential be delayed as we focus on raising matching funds from other sources," she said. "With a timeline of six instead of 10 years, the long process to either apply for and receive grants or find other funding sources to supplement the cost will have projects quickly approaching the expire date leaving not much time to design and construct after funds are raised."
Staff writer Aaron Moody contributed to this report.

From West Babylon, New York, USA:
My four year old son was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and it seems obvious to me that sooner or later we may have to deal with a seizure. What, other than administering glucagon and checking his blood sugar, can we do to help control the seizure? Should we try to keep him from biting his tongue? Should we restrain him tightly or just enough to keep him from hurting himself? What kind or type of a seizure will it be?
Not every child with diabetes develops seizures, but you need to be prepared. The best preparation is avoidance of severe lows, especially at night when they are more apt to occur and go unrecognized (and children are more apt to have a seizure with the same low blood sugar when they are sleeping than when they are awake). Testing your child's blood sugar if possible once or twice during the night can help to spot drops in blood sugar.
if your child does have a seizure, it could be a generalized shaking of the body, or just trembling of one extremity. You should only restrain your child enough to use the Glucagon Emergency Kit and try to prevent your child from hurting himself.

I'm currently reading Hollow City, which is very good. I'm still reeling, though, from the great dystopian trilogy (MaddAdam) that has made other books a little dull lately. I read the Divergent series, too, and really liked the first one, though I thought that the third really sizzled.
My family and I have challenged each other to a triathlon competition which starts on Monday. 15 miles swimming, 250 miles biking, and 65 miles running. Speed is not the goal, but first to complete all three wins. I want to win.
I rejoined my swimming class this semester, and will do much of my bicycling on a stationary bike at the gym until it gets warmer, when I will hit the rail trail at least once a week on a bike. Like I said, I want to win.
In food news, Rob has agreed to do the 28 day E2 challenge starting February 3 (which I, of course will be doing with him!) if you haven't heard of the E2 diet, it's all plant based, but also eliminates oils and processed foods. So, for the next month, I will be relying on recipes from Rip Esselstyn and Lindsey Shay Nixon to comply with that challenge. I think it is only appropriate that this challenge starts AFTER the Super Bowl!

Saved Our Critical Files
We run a virtual server environment on top of a complex SAN in a colocation data center. Due to administrative error one of our virtual machines was configured incorrectly and was not taking a Vmware backup snapshot. On top of that, it was running Windows Server 2012 file deduplication services and hosted critical financial information for our company. We thought we had lost the files but Secure Data Recovery was able to remotely recover 100% of the files without us having to ship any SAN drives. They saved us months of work and a ton of money it would have taken to recreate these files. Unbelievable job!

text: multiple lead vocalists means a huge range of sounds; track one think a more structured sounding Grouplove (and Canadian so hints of folk). But in saying that these guys range from the beginning of track 2 being Foals-esque music teamed with similar vocals to Emily Haines (Metric) and track 6 'the first night we met' is like a chord heavy 'i wish i was dead pt 2' . Overall solid spin B+++

There's a lot going on in Past Cure. Developer Phantom 8 Studio has described it as "Inception meets Fight Club meets John Wick." It offers an intense, story-driven experience.
You play Ian, an ex-elite soldier. Held in imprisonment and tortured for years, Ian has undergone military experiments that have left him with supernatural powers such as thought manipulation, telekinesis and astral projection. He never wanted any of this.
The experiments have fractured his grip on reality. And every time he uses his powers, his madness grows.
Ian wants revenge (and I don't blame him). With the help of his brother Marcus and female double-agent Sophia, he intends to hunt down those who have done this to him and put them on the receiving end of the powers they're given him.
Past Cure takes place in two worlds: Ian's nightmares/hallucinations and the actual, waking world. Each has its own set of rules and mechanics.
Ian ultimately comes to realize that his true enemy -- darker than any he could have imagined -- may be hiding within his own madness.
Past Cure is to be released February 23, 2018 on Windows (Steam), Xbox One and PS4 (can be pre-ordered here).

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

by Things Made Out Of Other Things. A ground-breaking new application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that puts over 20,000 classic books in the palm of your hand
In Eucalyptus, books feel like books, not web pages. Turning the pages of your favorite novel feels so real and natural, you won't even notice it.
Don't know where to start? We'll supply an ever-changing bookshelf of hand-picked recommendations, from well-known classics to undiscovered gems.
If you've already got a book or author in mind, it's easy to find exactly what you want. From Austen to Zola, it's all just a few taps away.
Same as the old management. Eucalyptus organizes Books and Authors just like your iPod organizes Songs and Artists, so navigation is second nature.
Resize the text at any time, without losing your place. With just a pinch your fingers, Eucalyptus reflows the text around you.
Eucalyptus uses high-quality fonts and industry-leading typesetting routines like those used by paper book publishers. Get lost in the story, not frustrated by the text.
Quit Eucalyptus in the middle of a book and when you start it up again, you'll instantly be back at the same page. With no time waiting, you can sneak in a few paragraphs anywhere.
Eucalyptus downloads books directly from the archives of Project Gutenberg, which has been encouraging the creation and distribution of eBooks since 1971. These books are produced by thousands of volunteers from all around the world. To find out more about the project, including how you can contribute, visit their web site.
The books you can read in Eucalyptus are the English-language, out of copyright, ASCII format books from Project Gutenberg, analyzed on download and reformatted on the fly by our custom heuristic algorithms while you read. If you'd like to see the original files, you can access them on the Internet. In any book in Eucalyptus, on the "Book Information" page directly after the cover page, you can easily find the Project Gutenberg "eText number" or open the book's Project Gutenberg catalog page in Safari by tapping on the link.
In accordance with the Project Gutenberg License, 20% of Things Made Out Of Other Things' gross profit from Eucalyptus is paid as a royalty to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation – an extremely worthwhile cause. Other than this, Things Made Out Of Other Things has no relationship with Project Gutenberg except for a hearty feeling of admiration and thanks towards it.
