Lemon Blueberry Scones
Oh, the misunderstood scone. Not quite a biscuit, not quite a cake, but oh, how we love our scones. The tender, slightly dry, crumbly texture is a perfect vehicle for butter, jam, lemon curd or clotted cream. And by all means, be sure to enjoy your scone with a hot beverage.
The ease of preparation of this recipe made me a scone fan. The fact that I can freeze the prepared dough keeps my family and friends minutes away from a fresh baked scone when the cravings hit. So when you want a quick baked treat for your brunch, tea or easy weekend mornings, this recipe fits the bill.
Lemon Blueberry Scones
Servings: 8 large or 16 mini scones
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for flouring surface
¼ cup sugar, plus extra for topping
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into ¼" pieces
1 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons milk, plus more for brushing on top
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1. Preheat oven to 375° degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the lemon zest and toss to coat with flour. Add the butter and toss to coat with flour. Cut butter into the dry ingredients by rubbing between your fingers to flatten the butter and the mixture is crumbly.
3. Add the blueberries and gently toss to coat with the crumbly flour mixture. Make a well in the center of the flour.
4. In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, milk, vanilla and egg. Pour into the flour well, and use your hands to gently combine just until the dough comes together. Do not over mix as this will result in tough scones.
5. For 8 large scones: On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disc ( 8-9 inches in diameter). Transfer the disc to the prepared baking sheet. For 16 mini scones: On a floured surface, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Pat each piece of dough into a 1-inch thick disc (about 5-inches in diameter each). Transfer the discs to the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush dough with milk and generously sprinkle with sugar. Dust a knife with flour and cut each disc into 8 wedges. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, large scones 25-30 minutes, mini Scones 20-25 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
7. Serve with lemon curd, butter, clotted cream, whipped cream, or your favorite jam.
Do Ahead: Scones can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely before storing covered at room temperature.
For freezing, the prepared dough can be shaped into a disc, cut into wedges and frozen on a round cake board. Transfer the frozen disc to a resealable freezer bag, and store for up to 4 weeks. Place the frozen disc or individual scone on the prepared baking sheet to thaw. Brush with milk and sprinkle generously with sugar before baking.

I'm impressed to see that Scarlet Imprint is leaving Facebook; from a publishing perspective this takes courage. It's also not altogether surprising but rather disheartening to read some of the responses on the blogosphere that this has received, including the charge of "Luddism". Mind you, that Scarlet Imprint did not announce that they were divesting of all digital technology that they will only do handset letterpress printing from now on and will only be reachable by Royal mail. No, they have announced they will not be using a particular corporations medium, one that is widely know to be a vast maw, as they beautifully put it, swallowing vast amounts of people's time (and life). I, for one, believe Facebook has made the world a considerably worse place that it was before it existed.
Scarlet Imprint's statement begins, "Magicians should be asking themselves very serious questions about how they relate to technology. We engage in this self-interrogation on a regular basis and have come to the decision to leave facebook, the maw that rapaciously devours online traffic, a memetic infestation which trivialises the numinous and significantly alters behaviour patterns for the worse." It's well worth reading the entire text, which makes the point that the Internet easily becomes part of the spectacle, as defined years ago by the Situationists. I would add there is a very Burroughsian viral quality to Facebook, and that should make those with a magical education very leery of it.
At any rate, we see the usual response today with shallow aspersions made and great bouts of polarized thinking: people must be categorized in huge sweeping generalizations—there are those who love all technologies, anything that comes down the digital conveyor belt of the capitalist marketplace, all such commodities are received with open embrace (accompanied by the braggadocio of being an early adopter); and there are those anti-technological people who live in the woods and read the Unabomber manifesto, and provide their own pantry, the so-called Luddites. I should say, while the propagandists of group one think this is a term to tar the people they imagine as their enemies, the actual Luddites were a rather admirable labor activist movement in early 19th century England, namely, skilled cottage workshop weavers who were being displaced by the rising factory-based textile industry, enabled by new mechanical looms and poorly paid unskilled labor.
What this really strikes at is the amount of time and devotion with which many people who identify as pagans immerse themselves in heavily mediated, online activities where they are abstracted from their own environment, and any physical community, and often fully emotionally disassociated from those around them. For those of us whose practices are about embodied engagement, experiencing the numinous in the natural world—and the built world as well—the addictive nature of social media is a problem and can be an obvious interference with practice.
Another thing that is inherent in media like Facebook and Twitter is the splintered and chopped up communications that by their very nature do not allow for any deep consideration or response, and so often generate misunderstanding and miscommunication. Druidic, Celtic, Dionysian, and animist traditions, among many others, operate in a far different domain, places where presence, being, and deep communication and communion are at the heart of the process/practice.
Late October is a gorgeous time in my place. The skies are brilliant blue after months of fog; we have recently had night showers; the rainy season is upon us and mushrooms are appearing with their messages from the chthonic realms. I'm going for a walk. I will drink in the sun setting on the sea, its warm light illuminating the undersides of the dark cypress trees, inhale the pungent fragrance of eucalyptus leaves and feel the air on my skin. I will see what other beings are out and about. I will not be updating my progress or status, I won't be finding my way by phone.

Linda Adams has been fascinated with nature, natural stones, and geology since childhood. She began drawing, painting and creating art, clothing, and jewelry growing up on a cattle ranch in the panhandle of Idaho. She has collected art throughout her life focusing primarily on equine art, reflecting her love of horses and the myriad of ways in which they have been depicted in art through the ages.
As a young wife and mother in the 1960s, she was still painting and making jewelry to sell on the beach and in boutiques in Santa Barbara to supplement the student family income.
Eventually, she set aside her artistic interests and accepted full-time employment in public policy, working for the Illinois and Connecticut legislatures and the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver.
In the early 1980s she moved into the private sector to do government relations work for AT&T, primarily in ID, MT, WY, SD, ND and Washington DC, while living in Boulder, CO.
In 2003 she and her husband Judd retired and moved into the mountains of northern Colorado with their horses, dogs, and cats.
Retirement gave Linda the opportunity to return to her art, and she began by creating paintings of their 1890 Batterson Barn and Stage Station which has been a beloved landmark on the Red Feather Lakes Road for generations. She researched and wrote the history of the barn, and in 2010 it and the surrounding 10 acres were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a Rural Historic Landscape.
In 2012 Linda created the Batterson Barn Studio and Gallery above the garage, which is open to customers 7 days/week by appointment. In addition, she participates in approximately 2 dozen art and craft fairs per year around Colorado and Wyoming.
Linda holds a bachelor's degree in history from UCLA and a master's degree in operations research/public systems analysis from the University of Illinois. In April 2014 she was named the SilverSilk Designer of the Month, and she was selected the Red Feather Lakes Featured Artist for Jan-June 2015.

Nearly every federal employee, even those whose IT experience begins and ends at using a computer for work, is capable of contributing to the protection of U.S. government networks.
While CIOs and CISOs bring the expertise and experience needed to manage large IT enterprises, chief financial officers bring money and vision. Their control over an agency's budget requests and strategic planning process makes them gatekeepers whose support can often mean the difference between getting the necessary funding for critical cybersecurity priorities and simply making do.
"Why should I be collaborative with my CFO? That's where the money is," said Rod Turk, acting CIO of the Commerce Department at a May 1 event hosted by the Association of Government Accountants. "And frankly…if you start talking bits and bytes to your CFO, they're not going to understand. When they don't understand, guess what? You don't get the money."

When a vehicle is running, the engine is always turning. The transmission connects to the engine and supplies power to the wheels, but this linkage cannot be constant, since a vehicle is not always moving. In a manual transmission, the clutch is used to engage and disengage the transmission and the engine. The clutch operates two shafts: one shaft connects to the transmission and the other connects to the engine. Clutches use friction to keep the transmission connected to the engine. When the clutch is disengaged, the pressure plate pulls away from the flywheel and separates the transmission from the engine. When the clutch is engaged, a pressure plate pushes against a flywheel and joins the transmission to the engine. In a manual transmission, a clutch allows your engine to continue spinning even when the vehicle is stopped. Switching between gears in a vehicle with a manual transmission is made possible by operating the clutch.
Each time you press down on the clutch, the pressure plate pushes against a flywheel, joins the transmission to the engine, and enables gears to be changed. Over time, the friction accompanying this repetitive action will wear down the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and accompanying gears and bearings. Owners of vehicles with manual transmissions should always use their clutch with care and keep up with clutch maintenance. A clutch check can help extend the life of your clutch. If your vehicle's clutch ever fails, the transmission will not be able to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. If you still experience grinding and rumbling noises after components have been replaced and a clutch adjustment has been made, a clutch replacement will be required to restore full operation to your transmission and your vehicle.

I went to a dog show this weekend. It was great! So many doggies, so many breeds! It got me wondering, do mages have pets?
Simon Not dogs! Dogs are stupid! They never talk, they just drool. And when they do talk, even I can't understand them.
Nathan I beg to differ, Simon. Dogs do talk. They just don't talk to you, and you probably don't understand them because they are immensely more intelligent than you are.
Catherine Nathan! That wasn't nice.
Nathan Neither was his crack about dogs!
The Mage Sister So I take it you have dogs, Nathan?
Nathan Not anymore. They don't live very long and I get attached to them, and before I know it, they've gone to the gate.
Catherine And he sobs like a baby.
Nathan I'm ignoring you, Catherine. But I have had many over the years. Good people, dogs are.
Simon That explains a lot.
Nathan Shut up, Simon!
Simon I have a little squirrel friend named Esme…
Nathan You mean a flea-ridden rat named Esme!
Simon Esme is a squirrel, not a rat! And she's cleaner than you are.
Nathan If by squirrel you mean a flea-ridden rat with a bushy tail - sure! I'll go along with that.
The Mage Sister What other friends do you have, Simon?
Nathan Half of the Mage Woods. Simon has no people skills, but the creatures deign to associate with him. They feel sorry for him. The bears agreed that he was too pathetic to eat.
The Mage Sister Wow, Nathan. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the planet this morning or what?
Simon Dang! No kidding! What'd I ever do to you?
Nathan You breathe!
Catherine Nathan!
Cristov That will do, Nathan! I'll see you both in the Council Chambers in an hour. Such nonsense! Arguing in public over such trivial matters. I ask you! And both of you are old enough to know better!
Nathan Now look what you did, Simon!
Simon What I did! I didn't do anything!
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Alibaba founder pledges more investment in India
[NEW DELHI] Alibaba founder Jack Ma, China's wealthiest man, said Wednesday he plans to invest more funds in India and believes the Internet can transform the country's future.
Ma, whose Alibaba controls 80 per cent of e-commerce in China, was speaking to a business audience on his first visit to India, two months after his record initial-public-share offering raised US$25 billion.
"We will invest more in India, work with Indian entrepreneurs and technology companies," the billionaire promised in New Delhi, without naming any figures.
He said his Hangzhou-based Alibaba already has on its site a large number of small Indian businesses selling goods - from spices and chocolates to tea - to more than 400,000 Chinese customers.
He forecast more Indian goods would be sold on his Chinese site as his exchanges with India picked up.
The 50-year-old executive chairman of Alibaba said there was huge scope for "mutual engagement" in technology between India and China and that it could "change (the) lives" of many small businesses.
"I was a teacher earlier and the Internet changed my life. Right now is a wonderful time for businesses in India and China to work together," he said.
Ma's entourage was keeping a tight lip on the businessman's itinerary.
The executive "will be participating in a number of meetings with local businesses," said a spokeswoman, declining to disclose more.
The Economic Times newspaper reported that Ma's delegation included 99 business people.
Ma, China's richest individual with a net worth of nearly US$30 billion, was set to meet several Indian entrepreneurs.
Alibaba already has a small presence in the Indian market with a business-to-business start-up launched in 2010, but analysts expect it to expand in India's e-commerce market, possibly through online marketplace Snapdeal.
Japan's SoftBank, the largest shareholder in Alibaba with one-third, became last month the biggest single investor in the Indian online retail firm.
It pumped US$627 million into Snapdeal, which styles itself as the "Indian version" of Alibaba, and has grown explosively in the country's fast-expanding e-commerce market.
Local reports said Ma was expected to meet Kunal Bahl, the 30-year-old co-founder of Snapdeal and its chief executive. But Snapdeal declined to confirm any meeting.
Speculation has been mounting that Ma might join hands with the Indian company to build a bigger e-commerce presence in India.
Ma's whirlwind 48-hour-trip comes in the wake of other visits by top e-commerce figures such as Jeff Bezos, founder and chief executive of Amazon.
Amazon, which has a marketplace model in India, and Alibaba, which sources from India, are locked in fierce competition globally.

Does national culture affect hotel managers' approach to business strategy?
International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management
Publication date: 8 February 2008
The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the potential impact of the cultural dimension of power distance on hotel managers' approach to business strategy development.
A survey was administered to hotel top managers in four countries, namely, the USA, Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey. The questionnaire measured several aspects of strategy‐making process that are subject to differences in culture. Four research questions were answered using analysis of variance.
The results were less supportive to the proposed relationships in each of the research questions, which predicted that managers from varied power distance cultures would exhibit varied degrees of participative style, openness to strategic change, formality of strategic control, and people‐focused orientation when setting strategic goals.
Research limitations/implications
Generalizability of the findings is limited due to the non‐response bias that could not be assessed in the present study, and the reliance on self‐report data.
Practical implications
Hotel managers engaging in international alliances, affiliations, joint ventures, and other forms of collaboration with other managers in other countries should be less concerned about their counterparts' differences in strategic behavior and philosophy.
This study began to fill in the gap in the literature identified by previous researchers by providing empirical support for propositions about the relationship between culture and strategic management. The study provided insights into the process, as well as directions for the progression of the research stream dealing with the behavioral aspects of the strategic management of hotel organizations.

His by K.M. Keeton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
His was the first book I've read from author K.M Keeton ,and it will not be my last. The storyline was fantastic! It held my attention from the first page to the last. I fell in love with Donaven , a Dom who took care of Lana's needs emotional, and physical, while Allen was getting his own dose so to speak.
There was a huge wow factor, I hadn't seen coming, and it spoke volumes, making so much sense tying into the entire story.
Overall a well written steamy emotional bdsm story that I would recommend to anyone looking for a great dominant, and submissive style read with a twist.
This book was given to me by the author to read. My review is based on my honest opinion of His. – Reviewed by Alpha Loving Erotic Book Beauty Blog
"Trust is all that holds this together. When I said the first night that I know what you need, I meant it, and I will not stop until you have it. Do you trust me?"
I hold onto the chance one day she will be mine. Either that be tomorrow or when I'm old and gray.

Victorian Christmas a holiday wonderland
Step into the holiday wonderland of the 32nd Annual Bellefonte Victorian Christmas, but watch out for some of its characters.
They may be stepping around you.
Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cratchet and the Fezziwigs will return to Bellefonte in all their festive sartorial splendor to stroll around and greet visitors during the Dec. 12-15 celebration.
They're among the many attractions scheduled for the traditional holiday extravaganza organized by the Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association. Carolers, arts and crafts vendors, concerts, horse-drawn carriage rides, gingerbread houses, visits with Santa and more await to put even the biggest Scrooge in a holiday mood.
"We take you back into the past," festival Chairwoman Sally Houser said.
It all starts with the Fourth Annual Fundraising Gaslight Gala at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 12 at the American Philatelic Society Building.
Provided by Hoag's Catering, the gourmet dinner will feature walnut basil chicken and filet mignon. Live music, caroling, holiday skits, parlour games and dancing also will be part of the evening.
Tickets are $75 for individuals and $600 for a table of eight. No reservations will be accepted after Dec. 7.
Also on Dec. 12, the Festival of the Trees at the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology, part of Victorian Christmas, begins. The festival runs 4-9 p.m. the first two days, then 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 14 and noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 15.
Victorian Christmas' official opening on Dec. 13 will bring the Nittany Knights, the Bellefonte Elementary School choir, the Bellefonte Middle School Women's Chorale and the St. John's Elementary School Choir to the Bellefonte Elementary School.
Before the 6:30 concert, Dickens will extend his greetings at the door. Afterward, hot chocolate and cookies will be served outside the auditorium.
During the weekend celebration, visitors shopping for gifts for friends and family — or perhaps just for themselves — will have their choice of four arts and crafts show sites. More than 75 vendors will set up shop at the Bellefonte YMCA, Bellefonte Elementary School, Bellefonte Middle School and on East High Street near the Centre County Courthouse.
Other favorite events return for another year. The Homes Tour, 2-7 p.m. Dec. 14, features seven decorated, historic homes, open for visits in any order, and two other stops. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children younger than 12.
Learn more about the town's historic architecture on a guided walking tour of the downtown and nearby neighborhoods. Tours leave the Centre County Courthouse at 2 p.m. Dec. 14 and 15, and include stories and explanations of styles and periods.
Once again, the Fezziwigs will throw their Christmas Party and Family Buffet at 6 p.m. Dec. 14 at American Philatelic Society Building. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students and children.
Also back this year are Victorian high teas at 1 and 3 p.m. Dec. 14 and 15 at the Reynolds Mansion at 101 W. Linn St., and a children's Victorian tea party at 1 and 3 p.m. Dec. 14 and 2 p.m. Dec. 15., all at the Bellefonte Art Museum at 133 N. Allegheny St.
High tea tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for youth.
Victorian costumes are encouraged but not required. The children's parties cost $10 per child.
Because both have limited space, reservations are recommended. Call 355-1178 or 355-4737 for the high tea and 355-9606 for the children's tea.
But aside from those and a few other high-profile events, Houser said, most of Victorian Christmas' charm comes free — including concerts throughout the festival at Trinity United Methodist Church.
Free shuttles run from parking at Bellefonte Area High School to the downtown and Festival of the Trees.
"It doesn't matter who you are or what economic background you're from," Houser said. "There's something for everyone."

Method 1 of 4: Prepare to Clean Your Fish
http://www.wikihow.com/Clean/Gut-a-Fish If your fish have scales,
you'll need a butter knife or a scaling tool; either one works just as well.
If your fish don't have scales, you'll need a pair of pliers to peel back the skin.

$ 95.00
Hummingbird Fans will love this Curly Koa capo with the Gibson Hummingbird engraved and inked into the inlay.
I ordered my Thalia Capo on a recommendation from a friend who was raving about his. I loved the variety of designs I saw on the website and was impressed with the many customizable options, although it made it quite hard to decide on which capo to order! I went with the Mother of Pearl 24K Gold Capo - and after receiving it only days later thanks to the quick shipping, I quickly realized that this puts any other capo to shame! From the excellent packaging and accessories to the capo itself, there's no other capo that even comes close. The striking design combination of mother of pearl and 24k gold would be a major selling point on its own for me, but the interchangeable fretpads are such an amazing game-changer! I own and play everything from 12-string acoustics to various electrics to ukuleles, and I love the fact that I now have one capo that I could use for everything, with stable intonation for all of them. The build quality is excellent - It feels sturdy & strong, and built from high-quality materials. I have already used the capo numerous times, both in the studio and for live gigs, and my Thalia has performed well every time, on any instrument I placed it on. My intonation and tuning remained solid and reliable. Also, during gigs I found it very easy to move the capo in different positions quickly. I should point out that I did order a B-Stock capo, but I couldn't find anything that indicates that on the capo I received, since it looks and functions perfectly. Overall, I'm very happy with my Thalia capo, but I also feel sad for any other company that makes capos - because they just won't be able to match the designs, customizations, functionality and versatility of the Thalia!
Nothing B-Stock about this capo. I bought it out of curiosity and the fact it had the cross mop. Also purchased the teflon hi-tension fretpads. I use it on my Takamine 12-string mostly for our church praise band. Love it so far.
I've been using the same capo for about 20 years and liked it well enough, but decided to try the Thalia. It's beautiful, easy to use and seems to keep my guitar tuned better. Very happy with my purchase!
My 'caramel' koa capo goes perfectly with my Taylor k24ce. It works exactly as advertised and is easy to fit and use. Placed carefully without any sideways move and the tuning stays correct. Feels sturdy and solid in use. Love it. I also bought a honey koa capo for my daughters K14ce which looks good on that as well.
To achieve a perfect fit, the Thalia Capo comes with multiple interchangable fretpads so that you can match the fretboard radius of your specific instrument. The following table lists common fretboard radii used by major manufacturer. If you do not find your specific brand and model below you can Google your guitar make/model plus the words "fretboard radius"; if that doesn't work you can use the manual method which is described here
Please Note: 12-String & 8-String Guitars should use our High Tension OctaveTouch fretpads to get the best performance. Standard Tension and High Tension Rubber fretpads are included with every capo. Our Teflon fretpads will likely not work on instruments with octave strings. size chart guide fret board

p dir="ltr">Gilroy Gardens new Halloween Nights program faced a tough challenge: how to be entertaining for adults and not too scary for young kids.
The theme park pulled it off with flying colors and lots of them.
REVIEW: We spent two hours there last Friday and could have stayed a bit longer without being bored. It got two candy-filled thumbs ups from 2-year-old Parker and based on the reactions from other kids there, it was a hit.
"We want to be spooky, not scary," said marketing assistant Jacob Estrada. We'd say the mix was perfect.
The park is doing what it can to bolster attendance, which fell this year because of the summer heat, and that has recently included adding nighttime exhibits with separate admission. Last year it had the Chinese light program called Lumination. This year it will add a Harvest Festival with food trucks and crafts in November and the Holiday Lights show in December.
Some highlights: the colored waterfalls kids could walk through and the Scary Boo Hay Bale Maze, which took up a good half hour for our 2-year-old who didn't want to stop following older kids through it. We watched other parents have to drag kids out of it after they'd gone through half a dozen time.
There's a storyteller who shares not-too-scary weird stories around a firepit that would appeal to older kids. The amphitheater showed classic old TV shows, "Bewitched," "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters." We didn't stop to see them, but would on a second visit. We were too busy running after the ecstatic Ever Ready Bunny of a kid, who didn't want to sit still.
There's a coloring area and a place for kids to decorate Halloween bags ($1); a lake with lighted floats like a starry night on water you can walk right next to; spooky selfie spots; a giant lit up spider in the butterfly area; trick or treat stops giving out candy; and some spookified versions of the daytime rides are open.
The ghostly petting zoo was great, with snakes that could be taken out of their cages by a handler and Alpacas. The only negative there was they wanted an additional $1 to visit it. After paying $20 or $25 for an online ticket ($20 if you buy four or more and $30 at the door) and $15 for parking and drop an easy $40 on food, seems like one too many outreached hands.
The best way to afford this 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. exhibit is to spend $90 for a 2018 yearly pass which gets you free visits now and great bargains for the whole next year. Halloween nights are Friday through Sunday until Oct. 29.
Estrada said the park was pleasantly surprised by the first night's attendance of 2,000.
p dir="ltr">It's a must for families with kids up to 12 for a safe, fun, thrilling Halloween celebration. For older kids, Gilroy Garden's sister theme park, Great America has one of the best and scariest Halloween Haunts we've ever seen, with monsters jumping out all over the place, haunts decorated with the panache of a Hollywood movie, amazing theater shows and creepy stuff everywhere.

Lately sentances and craft have been a little topical. Oscar found this when he came home from school earlier this month. We're all very excited at number 29 that we're going skiing. So this is one of those Random Necessities! You need to know when you are going, right? So this is on the wall right outside Oscar and Emily's bedroom door so we can keep track of it all!
It may not be the prettiest, most original (or most beautifully photographed) piece of arts and crafts know how, but around here it's clearly the most important!
(Clearly you won't miss me while we're away skiing cos the amazing post scheduler will just keep on posting! I know you were worried Alison!)

Has BA lost the plot?
Thoughts on brand decline
So British Airways cabin crew are to go on strike (again) from July 1st for two weeks just as many of their customers are taking their long-awaited summer holidays. This comes on top of the recent IT glitch that saw 75,000 passengers stranded and subsequently cost the airline an estimated £100m in compensation. Anthony Hilton, writing in the Evening Standard, said it was arguably: "the airline's worst self-inflicted crisis since it was privatized 30 years ago".
"The magic of management is to balance the interests of customers and shareholders and employees."Andrew Lobbenberg
As if this wasn't bad enough, Skytrax, the airline research firm, recently said that BA now compares unfavourably with Aeroflot, the Russian state-backed carrier, once infamous for its poor safety, awful food and rude staff. As a result, BA's rating being downgraded from a possible five stars to just three, puts it on par with the likes of Uzbekistan Airways and Ethiopian Airlines.
How did BA come to be in this dire situation? There is no doubt that the airline needed to change radically to remain competitive, as it has come under considerable pressure from the likes of lower-cost and rapidly improving competitors like Ryanair and easyJet. Willie Walsh, Chief Executive of International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent of BA, earned his nickname 'Slasher' from his days at Aer Lingus when he embarked on a cost-cutting drive. He bought his approach with him first to BA, and then to IAG. He appointed Alex Cruz as Chairman and CEO of BA, a man who shares Walsh's penny-pinching ways, and it is this philosophy, which is believed to have contributed to the recent IT meltdown and the dispute with the Cabin Crew.
"Are they bovvered?" as comedienne Catherine Tate might ask. The answer is, not much. It took Alex Cruz two days to address customers during the IT meltdown and Willie Walsh has been steadfast in his defence of his direct report. The market has been pretty untroubled too with IAG stock falling just 3% during the crisis. This is a mere blip because under Walsh's tenure IAG has seen profits rise from €503m in 2011 to €2.5bn in 2016 and investors have seen the share price climb by 120% in four years.
So what can we conclude from all of this? Has Willie Walsh done a great job in turning around a declining dinosaur and creating a healthy return for investors or is he the executioner of what was once a loved-brand that had a loyal following of customers? The answer, in my opinion, is both. If I still owned BA stock, I would be selling it because any brand that loses both the loyalty of its customers and its employees can only go in one direction. BA's motto is 'To Fly To Serve' and in an earlier blog I suggested that management has lost sight of that purpose and, as a result, would lose the goodwill of its customers and employees. That has clearly come to pass.
In our recent book, 'On Purpose – delivering a branded customer experience that people love' Andy Milligan and I argue that the primary purpose of any brand must be to serve the needs of its customers. If it does that well and is efficient in doing so it will also create returns for shareholders and fulfil its commercial purpose. And if it does that in a way which is socially acceptable and meets the expectations of its employees and the communities in which it operates it will be able to sustain that in the long term. In my view BA has been successful in meeting its commercial purpose but this has been at the expense of its brand and social purpose. The trade-off has been too severe and I doubt that it will be able to sustain its growth unless the balance shifts back towards customers and employees - even if this means compromising on its earnings.
Now I am not saying that BA should go all soft and fluffy and stop thinking about the bottom-line. Mark Ritson, whom I admire above all business writers, makes this point eloquently in his recent Marketing Week article, 'Heineken should remember marketing is about profit not purpose' in which he takes Heineken's recent ad campaign to task for failing to be sufficiently brand focused. I agree with his point but think his title overstates it: I don't think it is one or the other; it must be both, and the very best marketing achieves that.
I have spent many happy minutes waiting for my underground train reading the brilliant copy on a Jack Daniel's Whiskey ad poster. The various stories invariably tell you something about the brand and what it stands for, they tell you about the employees and the people of Lynchburg Tennessee, but most importantly they tell something about the product and how it is made which just makes you want to try it. They blend purpose, people, product and the profit motive perfectly.
So what does this mean for the average business?
I think there are a number of lessons that organisations can take from this:
1) Be clear about your brand purpose. What is it that you can do better than your competitors? What will make your employees feel proud to deliver and your target customers value and be willing to pay for? Disney's 'Making people happy' is a case in point.
2) Be clear about your internal value chain. What is it that you need to invest in to deliver that value to customers? Is it better-trained people? Smarter technology? Better quality products? Invest in those things and fund this by cutting costs in the areas that customers don't value as highly. So for example, Premier Inn invested in expensive Hypnos beds and funded this by introducing self-serve registration kiosks thus saving costs.
3) 'Keep the main thing, the main thing'. Keep focused on your brand purpose and never compromise that for short-term gain. Your purpose is your promise. Smoothie maker, Innocent's, purpose of 'Taste's good, does good' has fuelled its success in a market that is crowded with 'me-to' beverages and it continues to supply the homeless with its products.
Every organisation has to transform itself from time to time, and that requires bold leadership and tough decisions. And yes, that sometimes requires actions that may not be welcomed. However, if the loyalty of customers and employees is sacrificed on the altar of shareholder returns then, don't be surprised if the gain is short-lived. HSBC aviation analyst Andrew Lobbenberg was quoted in the Financial Times saying: "The magic of management is to balance the interests of customers and shareholders and employees"… Whether BA have got this balance right is a valid question.

I'm sputtering a bit. This is Little Girl me drinking from the garden hose, I'm almost drowning in a rush of water and only able to take a little in, breathless gulps, most of it washing over my face and wetting my hair and dampening my clothes.
This is my love, these words and ideas and the falling of them on me and I'm lapping them up as fast as I can. Snapping at the water-words as they fly through the air, and the game of catching the drops before they fall wasted on the sidewalk or the dandelions.
This is my study. This is me listening to new (old) things and processing new (old) things and making new (old) things come alive. This is my new wine in old wineskins, and I get that I might burst at the seams unless I can soften and expand and grow to hold it all.
New wine aged from ancient holy words, burning in me hot and mellow and thrilling at once.
This is me learning about sacramental living and holy ghost hosting and I'm shaking the water from my eyes as I drink as fast as I can.
This is my kitchen and my stove and my table … made beautiful in the new light of sacramentality.
I am a student for a while as I work through Preston Yancey's Sacramental Baking e-course, and it's all coming back to me. The student thing, the learning thing, the reading and thinking and listening and oh my, I'm loving every minute of it.

Much can be said about the Japanese reverence for the natural world. It is evident at every turn, in both public and private spaces. This is due, in part, to the practice of Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion. The Shinto ideal of harmony with nature and others is a high priority that is deeply set into the Japanese psyche. I find myself drawn quite naturally to this idea and the ways it reveals itself in the very fabric of daily life.
During the late 90's, my wife and I lived just south of the Yokohama-Tokyo border. Sadly, I was not pursuing photography at that time, but as we travel back to Japan on a regular basis I spend as much time as possible photographing, between family visits and time spent with friends. In 2007, I decided to focus my efforts on a project highlighting the traditional Japanese gardens of Tokyo.
For over 50 years the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association (an affiliated organization of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government) has overseen the development and promotion of 77 parks within the city of Tokyo. Of those 77 parks, 9 are traditional Japanese gardens of one style or another, and are designated as special historic sites.
Most of these sites are located in the heart of overcrowded commercial/business districts and serve as ancient respites from the modern, frenetic pace of Tokyo. Like stepping back in time, I'm immediately charmed by this disparity; an experience that will likely be repeated for any visitor to this great land of contrasts.
It is in these natural spaces, surrounded by glass, steel, and concrete that I find opportunities to further understand the Japanese posture towards nature. I'm convinced that with every visit to one of these gardens my own photographic aesthetic is being shaped and transformed.
These photographs are a collection of my own personal discoveries about the Japanese aesthetic, and for that matter the Japanese people and their way of life.

If you wish to have a gap between an existing concrete floor and new wooden flooring, you will have to install battens onto the concrete. For a floor to be ready to have battens attached, it must be covered in damp-proof membrane that reaches slightly up the sides of the walls. After the battens are fixed to the concrete, insulation should be laid between each interior batten. Battens are attached to the floor by drilling a pilot hole through the batten and concrete, and attaching a frame fixing.
Step 1
Cut the battens to fit the room. All four walls should have a batten, and there should be battens every 20 inches. Battens should be no longer than 6 feet, 6 inches long.
Step 2
Lay the first batten down on one of the perimeter walls. Lay the level across the batten to see if it sits level across the entire length. If the batten is not level, push a wedge underneath it until the area is level.
Step 3
Put a masonry bit into your drill that is the same width as the frame fixings. Drill a pilot hole through the batten that enters into the concrete at the two ends of the batten. If you used a wedge, drill a pilot hole through the wedge as well.
Step 4
Hammer frame fixings into the pilot holes. Put the screwdriver bit on the drill and screw the fixing in the rest of the way.
Step 5
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for battens all around the perimeter of the flooring.
Step 6
Measure across the room from one of the perimeter battens and make marks on the membrane at intervals of 20 inches. Place the interior battens on the marks. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for each interior batten.

Supergirl is after Lex Luther. She is looking for him in his luxury sweet above one of his clubs when she is confronted by Bane. Despite the villains vicious strength Supergirl easily takes him down, but then a woman lands behind her.
She speaks in a heavy Russian accent and calls herself Superior Woman. Supergirl tries to take her down as she did Bane but instead takes a terrible beating from the larger more powerful opponent.
Now held off the floor by her throat, Supergirl learns that Superior Woman is a clone of her, but made bigger, stronger and more powerful. Supergirl is than completely defeated.
SG recovers, and prepares for a rematch, but SW uses her more powerful laser eyes to blast SG over and over, destroying her costume. SW gloats, but SG manages to get to her feat, and like a true hero she turns the tables on SW. Before she can finish her nemesis, both SG and SW drop to the floor suddenly weakened as Bane comes in with large piece of kryptonite. He uses the special radiation filter built into his vest, designed to protect the clone from its effects. The filter lessens the radiation from the kryptonite enough that it only weakens SG and doesn't her. But it does allow Bane to beat her senseless and put her down with a sleeper hold.
Now Bane has his fun breaking SG, she is forced to cum over and over until she submits.

WASHINGTON — When the veteran Senator Max Baucus announced his retirement in April, a feeling of dread went through the Democratic ranks, not so much over the potential loss of his Montana seat, but over the game of musical committee chairs that would elevate an iconoclast to lead the coveted Finance Committee and a pro-oil moderate to head the energy committee.
But as politics begin supplanting policy considerations ahead of the 2014 elections, calculations are shifting on Capitol Hill. It is a measure of the challenging political landscape Democrats face that Mr. Baucus's pending nomination to be ambassador to China has been greeted with glee by his fellow Senate Democrats.
Now they are happy to hand the Finance Committee gavel to Senator Ron Wyden, the mercurial Oregonian who currently leads the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, because it puts Senator Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, one of the most endangered Democrats up for re-election in 2014, at the energy helm — a position that will help her campaign rake in cash from industry and press her pro-oil politics in her fossil-fueled state.
Moreover, the Democratic governor of Montana, Steve Bullock, can appoint Mr. Baucus's successor, potentially sending his lieutenant governor, John Walsh, to the Senate to run next year with the power of incumbency. That could increase the Democrats' chances of retaining that seat — one seen as crucial to Republicans' efforts to win back the Senate.
Democrats were once confident that their five-seat majority was large enough to withstand the midterm elections. But with Democratic incumbents vacating three seats — in Montana, West Virginia and South Dakota — that either lean Republican or are rated a likely Republican win, the outcome is less than certain. In addition, the re-election in Arkansas of Senator Mark Pryor, a Democrat, is considered a tossup.
Even states that Democrats had expected to hold could turn out to be more competitive. On Thursday, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report moved the contest for the Michigan seat of Senator Carl Levin — another retiring Democrat — from leaning Democratic to a race that could go either way. And former Senator Scott P. Brown, a Republican from Massachusetts, said he would be moving to New Hampshire and registering to vote there, fueling speculation that he is preparing to challenge Senator Jeanne Shaheen's re-election bid.
Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst at the Cook Political Report, gave Republicans a 25 percent to 30 percent chance of retaking the Senate next November, up from 20 percent earlier this fall. "I feel like I'm looking at a different landscape today than I was Sept. 30," she said.
"Am I predicting the Republicans take the Senate? No," she said, while adding that the trajectory is "better today than it was 60 days ago."
Mr. Baucus's pending nomination is the first break Democrats have gotten in some time. Brad Dayspring, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called it "blatant manipulation" and a "Big Sky buy-off," laying the nomination at the feet of Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, whom Mr. Dayspring called "brigadier general of the back-room deal."
Democratic officials familiar with the decision say it came after weeks of discussions between Mr. Baucus and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a longtime friend. Politics were a consideration, they say, but only one. Mr. Baucus wanted the ambassadorship and pitched his interest in trade and his experience with Chinese industries from his perch on the Finance Committee.
The senator would not comment on the nomination, which is not official. "There is a time and place for everything. It's in Scriptures," he said. "Now is not the time. Now is not the place."
And Democratic leaders insisted they never had any qualms about Mr. Wyden taking over the Finance Committee or Ms. Landrieu heading the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
"We go on committees by seniority, and there's a consensus in the Senate Democratic Caucus to stick by that," said Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, the third-ranking Democrat. "A chair still has to get a majority in his or her committee, so we have confidence in that."
Ms. Landrieu had already been campaigning in Louisiana as the next energy chairwoman, but she has been more circumspect in Washington.
"I would be honored to be chair of the Energy Committee. I am very patient right now because there are many moving parts," she said. "There's one chair of that committee. He's Ron Wyden. There's one chair of finance, Max Baucus, and we'll just have to see how this works."
Democrats said Thursday they saw no downside to the shifting seats in Washington. Ms. Landrieu is not likely to move controversial legislation in an election year, like opening more federal lands and waters to oil drilling. With Mr. Baucus gone, his quixotic — and politically divisive — push for a sweeping overhaul of the tax code will most likely go with him.
And if Mr. Walsh claims the Montana seat, he can raise his profile and bolster his campaign war chest. With less than a year in Washington, opponents will be hard pressed to label him an insider, Democratic campaign officials said, especially since his opponent, Representative Steve Daines, is Montana's Republican congressman.
Republicans are not so sure. Mr. Dayspring said Democrats will destroy Mr. Walsh's main claim to office if they bring him to Washington to run as an outsider, and Ms. Landrieu had long claimed the mantle of the Energy Committee, even if the gavel wasn't hers.
"Obviously they perceive it's good because they're the ones that engineered the deal," he said. But, he added, "It's hard to see how this helps them."

Everybody has a connection with Johan Cruijff. Football fans, journalists, Amsterdam and … advertising agencies.
'Yeah, I didn't catch his name, but just take the call,' snapped the receptionist at the Lowe Kuiper&Schouten Amsterdam advertising agency in 1992. The creatives had come up with an ad for ABN AMRO featuring a photo of Johann Cruijff and had given me the task of gaining his permission. 'Hi, this is Johan. I thought I'd give you a quick call about your letter and that picture.' So while all the big Dutch news, talk and late night show hosts, Amsterdam Mayor Van der Laan, Ajax, Dutch football expert Henk Spaan and Camp Nou are tumbling over each other to share the best quotes, anectodes, pictures and video clips, even this unsporty and lowly account boy had a connection, with Johan.
Celebrities are a godsend for advertising agencies. You can earn a buck on the back of their celebrity and reputation. And when it came to Johan, you stood to earn a mountain of mullah. Because while Rembrandt, Anne Frank, Van Gogh and Heineken might be world-famous, they pale in comparison to Johan. 'Where you come from?' 'Netherlands??' 'Holland?!, Ooooh you mean Crojff? Yo friend, you want coffee, cigarette??' Around the world doors opened, with Johan.
Johan in turn liked to make a buck or two off the big advertisers. He announced a new timetable for Dutch Rail. He was the face of the Bruguer paint brand in Spain. In an ABN AMRO commercial he had to admit that The Bank turned out to know more about finances than he did. Even though he preferred to go solo, he also did one-two's with Van Basten for Eurocard Mastercard. And with footballer TV presenter Jan Mulder for ING Bank. In the late 1970s Johan starred in an ad with the heading 'Smoke wisely' and a pack of low tar and nicotine Roxy Dual. He later switched to Chupa Chups lollipops. And condemned cigarettes in an anti-smoking campaign with the brilliant line that football had given him everything and smoking had almost taken it away from him. Decades of great advertising, with Johan.
The loss of Johan touches us all. Advertising agencies have lost an inimitable copywriter and influential Dutch celebrity. But we've also lost the creator of the universally revered 'Agile and Scrum' working method. Bigwig management gurus and expensive McKinseys lay claim to this method that calls for speed, agility, teamwork and provocation. But we've been familiar with it since 15 November 1964 – the first time Ajax1 played, with Johan.
