A good thing to realize is that we use technology and technology does not use us. One does not have to use Twitter as discussed above, and there is no reason to jump in and do everything at once. It is best to start with listening. What are people saying about you? What conversations can you be a part of? What types of proactive reach can you do and what do you need to be reactive to? For you and for your company, be sure to choose how to use the technology.
If a commitment is made to become part of an online community and conversations, commit to taking the feedback to the company and asking what you can do to change and actually make the company change. Determine what the customers want and figure out a way to get back to the company mission and values.
Benchmark your social media efforts and see if they are creating any return on investment on organic search engines through relevant content and information. Use a trend graph when trying to benchmark your social media and Internet strategy efforts. (A trend graph provides information at a glance through graphing out ups, downs, and horizontals [growth stalls] to provide metrics of valuable information needed in the study being performed.)
Message boards and forums are important ways for companies to brand. Think about why a person joins a forum; it is based on similar interests and commonalities. Online communities become trusted resources to ask advice about things not related to the same online forum or online community. However, relationships have been developed and trust is gained.
According to http://www.big-boards.com, the most active message boards and forums on the Web, they list out and rate different blog posts. When visiting this Web site, it is easy to sort and filter by different blog posts, memberships, page views, traffic, online users, Alexa ranking (a relative measurement of how popular a Web site is among the Internet community), and much more.
Knowing blogs are becoming a relevant communication tool, this is something you may want to consider doing for your own exposure, as long as you have relevant content that people will want to follow.
We are experiencing an explosion in social media participation around the world. It is becoming harder and harder to run a business without using social media. It is time to figure out how your business fits into this social media world and how to develop a strategic market place online. Social media is much different than Internet marketing. Once you understand the mind-set of social media, the core of all your social ability, and heart of your search engine optimization (SEO), the rankings will be paid off through more visibility, more leads, and potentially more sales.
Learn about these online communities and how to engage in them. With a Web presence, active social media usage, and search engine optimization strategies, you can deliver a content strategy designed to sell your products and services online. I have found social media to be very beneficial both personally and professionally. Social media content I am personally using are LinkedIn, Twitter, Squidoo, Facebook, Google+, WordPress and lots of widgets for measuring my time and efforts in Social Media.
Spread links, contents, and messages to the far reaches of the social sphere. Tie all of this into a constant web of influence while gaining higher search engine ability. Integrated social media initiatives will increase Web presence and grow your business strategies.

How many of you have asked yourself "I'm over 40 and I don't understand this Social Media Stuff? Well, you are not alone as I have heard this statement so many times throughout my social media training workshops.
Try looking at social media as if a business cocktail reception party without restraints of time or space. Then ask yourself these questions before delving into Social Media without a strategic plan.
Social engagement typically foals into three pillars
Feedback = crowd sourcing ideas, innovation, marketing effectiveness, when you want to enhance customer experience. Decrease time to market for a new product or getting to market with a higher quality product or5 having better marketing effectiveness. Measurement or ROI in this space is very closely aligned with your business mission and if looking at general metrics, will not get to the ROI.
Advocacy = true word of mouth around an issue, an idea product or service. Measure things around brand consideration and brand preference and this is where conversions and sales may come in.
Support = when you have a peer to peer to peer support model where you have one customer helping another to figure out the best way to use your product or service and in the support model you want to measure cost deflection for example. This takes money out of the cost for providing support and you can totally socialize this function.
Participation is much more than just talking—that's what marketers and sales people have been doing for years. True participation is a mixture of:
The Three Key Questions
I am completely convinced that whoever "owns the voice of the customer" and uses that information to build an organizational culture of Extreme Customer Focus… will own the marketplace.
The following list I want you to ask yourself three incredibly important questions:
Listening and learning from and about the customer has taken on new dimensions with the advent of wide-scale use of social media. This concept has been added to questions on how your organization listens to customers.
Have you ever Googled yourself? If you are active in Social Media, your LinkedIn, Facebook and other Social Media Links will also show up which gives you more exposure in Google.
Check out the LinkedIn Stats and Who is actually using LinkedIn!
Create a Compelling Prfoile and NOT a Resume rehash. I see many people list their Curriculum Vitae or a resume of information in Their Profile. All I can say is Blah, Blah, Blah.
Take Advantage of All of LinkedIn's Features.
How many of you are comfortable with all the profile features? Have you updated your profile 100%? LinkedIn will keep the % for you so be sure to optimize and fill out all profile info. Then SHARE your Profile when updated or make changes. See next to my photo what I have done in LinkedIn to optimize my profile. I listed what I specialize in which is also optimized.
In the summary is where you can really focus on optimized keywords. See here I used
Trade show exhibits, trade show marketing, marketing, small business and also listed my credentials at bottom for certifications for the business.
Be sure to list Specialties with keywords as you can see on the top right here for what I did. Yes, you can bullet the info to be easier to read.
Treat this area as your elevator speech with keywords that are searchable in your industry.
Did you know under the Skills area you can add your keywords here? I listed 22 Skills to cover both companies.
Under my website I put keywords with Hyperlinks to the websites. Also see under interests w here I again listed Keywords
LinkedIn Is YOUR Online Rolodex so be sure to IMPORT your Email Addresses.
While researching LinkedIn and updating this Blog, I found this person who is a person well connected in LinkedIn that I found and I wanted to add him to my network. I went through my 2nd degree connections and asked for an introduction as she was connected to Steve. This is how you can really focus on growth.
It is just like referrals face to face but the new way on the internet.
Ok, how many of you are over 500 connections??? Well, I am at 1820 and growing. I needed to organize my connections.
How to do this?
You can purchase a program to do this for you called PROFILE ORGANIZER as an upgrade for Business Plan at $39.95/Mo at yearly contract or $49.95/Mo month to month or even an Executive Level for more money but you really do NOT need to. Here is how to do it Free
Go to your Contacts tab at the top of YOUR LinkedIn Page. Then go view your contacts and beside each name you will see Edit Tags.
Assign your categories for marketing. As you can see from my connections, I have listed by groups, Out of State, NM, etc. This will allow me to communicate more effectively with my network.
Start with Individual, Community, National and then Global.
Businesses are increasingly adopting customer-focused processes to gain competitive advantage. But for building a business around customers, companies need to understand them. They need to engage in regular dialogue and conversations and keep people informed of what you are doing and planning.
Step 1: Adding an Event
Anyone can add an event and have it appear on their profile. To enter in a new event:
Go to the More menu at the top of your home page and then click Events.
Click the Add an Event tab.
Enter any information you have about the event.
If you want the event to appear on your profile, click I'm attending and then select Attendee, Presenter, or Exhibitor.
Click Publish Event.
A network update will be generated to your connections if you indicate you will be attending the event.
Event Attendance Display
Each event displays three buttons to select from to reveal your level of interest in that event:
"Attending" - This button offers dropdown options to select if you plan on attending, presenting or exhibiting at the event.
"Interested" - This button can be selected if you are interested in the event but have not yet decided.
"Not Interested" - This button can be selected if you are not planning on attending or are not interested in the event.
A network update will be sent out to your connections after you have clicked on one of the possible actions. Attendee names will appear publicly on the Events "Overview" and "Attendees" tabs.
NOTIFYING Your Network about an Event.
If you find an event you want to share, you can notify your network by clicking the Share link under the event summary on the event's Overview tab. This allows you to send a LinkedIn message to any of your 1st degree connections.
You can also let your fellow group members know of an upcoming event that may interest them by posting it as a discussion.
Here is an example of my KeepitQUERQUE Group. I am President and I needed some volunteers for an event so I went in there to post a comment.
Here you can do your own search for groups to check out and request to Join. Some are automatic when you join and others have to be on an approval system and you wait for the response for approval or not.
On the right you can see many of the groups I am involved in. I am also in the WBC one.

The new Visitors Flow view provides a graphical representation of the visitors' flow through your website by traffic source (or any other dimensions) so you will be able to see their journey as well as where they dropped off on your site.
What I like best about this is that Google Analytics is working hard to meet our needs.
The new Goal Flow is a graphical representation of the paths a visitor took to successfully complete a conversion on your site from the source through your funnel pages and where along the path they dropped off.
This new Goal Flow visualization lets you see the following:
• Relative volume of visits to your website through traffic source, campaign, browser or whatever dimension you select)
• Relative volume of page views per goal step
• Relative volume of traffic rate of abandonment from step to step
• Where visitors backtracked along the goal path
• Conversion rates for each source (in the table column for your goal)
• Specific metrics for connections, nodes, and node exits when you hover over them
You can find the Goal Flow under Standard Reporting | Conversions | Goals. To be able to see this data, you need to have already defined goals in your Google Analytics Account.
You can also apply any advanced segments to this new Flow Visualizer. You can see how visitors arrive at a page or pages of interest. You can start by selecting ?backward" to see reverse paths which helps identify suboptimal placement of your content or you can select "forward" paths from a page or pages to understand most visited pages or to see the visitor leakages.
If you do not have goals set up or goal funnels, don't worry. You can create a new goal or goal funnel from your profile settings. This works backwards on your historical data for metrics.
Having access to this new visual information is a real game changer for Google. I look forward to seeing more visual analytics rolling out soon too.

What Can LinkedIn Do for Me?
LinkedIn has been around since 2003, and many people use it differently. The question of what it can do for people seems to be a very popular question. In short, LinkedIn is a professional networking site with an executive representation of Fortune 500 companies. It is a great way to find people and is a great way to read someone's business history in a single screen. The site also helps you to understand who they know and network with.
Some interesting facts you probably did not know about LinkedIn:
- The average number of LinkedIn connections for people who work at Google is forty-seven.
- The average number for Harvard Business School grads is fifty-eight, so you could skip the MBA, work at Google, and probably get most of the connections you need. Later, you can hire Harvard MBAs to prepare your income taxes.
- People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five.
- All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented in LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of them are represented by director-level and above employees.
Does it ever seem as if every time you blink, social media is completely different? Social media changes so fast and so often, it can be easy to get left in the dust! So just in case you have been out of the loop, here are some recently new things that are good to know. Be sure to keep reading as each week we post new social media tips to help you learn more for your own business.
What's New?
Twitter has a new way to make it easy to follow and be followed! This wonderful little button not only makes it so you can follow all of your "favorites" just by clicking on the bird, but you can add it to your own website, too! How handy is that?
*Follow Twitter accounts direct from their website or blog in just one click!
Google has a new button! Google +1 is similar in concept the "Like" button on Facebook. When you click on it, it shares your recommendation with all your Google contacts! Now this is so new that Google considers it an experiment, so you must opt in to be able to use it. To learn a little bit more about the button and get it on your site, you can do so here.
See example of using Google +1 below.
The Google +1 Button is initially rolling out through a selected number of publishers.
'Google Offers': Oh, yes. Google is starting their coupon program! Starting in Portland, OR, Google is working with local businesses to help promote by offering discounts to those who opted in to use it. Google Offers is also looking for businesses who want to sign up with it so they can team up with you, providing you more business and getting your name out there, while you in turn help spread the word! They eventually intend on teaming with Google Wallet, a crazy new app that offers a new way to pay.
*See example video below:
See embedded code here: <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjDA_mbkZjE&rel=0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjDA_mbkZjE&rel=0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>
Twitter Search offers more: As Twitter puts it, "Twitter brings the most meaningful information in the world right to your pocket. And, we're constantly working on ways to make that even better." Starting soon, when you search on Twitter or click on a topic, you will be provided with not only more relevant results, but you will also be shown photos and videos related to your search topic. "It's never been easier to get a sense of what's happening right now, wherever your curiosity takes you." Click on the picture below to learn details about what is new in the Twitter world.
And if that wasn't enough, here are some awesome new tools:
Shoutomatic: I must admit, this one really blew me away. Have you ever noticed that when you type in status updates on Facebook and Twitter, conveying your emotions is very difficult in text. Well, Shoutomatic has solved that problem for us all. It is an app you can sign up for through Twitter or Facebook that allows you to record your voice and post status updates that way. What will they come up with next? Keep reading…
BO.LT: BO.LT is an interesting new site that allows you to completely alter (or customize) and web page you choose to share with your fans or followers. To try, just go to the site, type in your email address and it will let you experiment a little. It is fascinating, to say the least, and I recommend you try it.
Crowdbooster: This new dashboard allows you to keep track of your followers and fans on Twitter and Facebook. You can see just about everything that has to do with your admiring public on both sites in one place.
Were there any new social media releases that caught your eye? Please share, because like I said, it can be really hard to keep up!

Where should we go for dinner tonight?? It's a tough question at the best of times let alone when we're in Rome for the first time. But choices were made a little easier with the discovery of Obika, a mozzarella bar. How could we not go? We find the place easily enough and are quickly given a seat, drinks and bread in that order. I get the classic negroni (still kicking ourselves for not going to it's spiritual home in Florence when we were there) and Kat a Garibaldi; campari and blood orange, both excellent.
The bread arrived in a too cute little wicker basket with oil vinegar and salt in a similar basket.
Now what we were here for....the cheese. They had four different types of DOP mozzarella on the menu Paestum (delicate),Pontina (stronger), Affumicata (smoked and very strong) and Stracciatella di Burrata (sweet and creamy , then there was a dozen different accompaniments you could have with each cheese. Knowing we couldn't leave one behind we ordered one of each debating fo a long time over which accompaniment to have with which cheese. There was just so much deliciousness. in the end this was our mix and match combo;
With the paestum we got a light basil pesto, fresh cherry tomatos and spinach.
The flavor of the cheese was light,sweet and creamy, tearing easily into fat pieces.
The Pontina we matched up with Anchovies from Cetara, near Amalfi and sundried Tomatoes the stronger flavored cheese going well with the salty anchovies and intense tomatoes.
The smoked mozzarella was a lot firmer in texture with it's the smoke was not as overpowering as we thought it might have been and it went well with the eggplant and tomato caponata we had chosen.
The last cheese to arrive was for me the best of four amazing cheese the burrata. Burrata is made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. The name "burrata" means "buttered" in Italian. So soft it arrived in aglass bowl already floating in it's own juices when we picked at it with our fork it seperated into unctious strands so rich and creamy.
With the peppery rocket and beef carpaccio it was an amazing experience.
Sitting outside on the Roman cobblestone in the mild autumn evening it was just spectacular.
Now off to find a vintage sweet to finish off with.

Cavaliers forward Kevin Love in doubt for Game 1 against Warriors
Cavaliers forward Kevin Love could miss Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Warriors as he remains in concussion protocol, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue told reporters Tuesday before the team flew to the Bay Area.
MORE: The world in 2010, the last time LeBron James missed the NBA Finals
Love suffered a concussion in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals last Friday when he knocked heads with Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum. Jeff Green started for Love in Game 7 and scored 19 points with eight rebounds in an 87-79 Cleveland victory Monday..
Ty Lue says that Kevin Love is still in the concussion protocol and he's "not sure" if he'll be available for Game 1.— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) May 29, 2018
Unfortunately, Love has a history of missing time in the Finals. He missed a game in the 2016 Finals with a concussion and sat out the entire 2015 Finals with a separated shoulder.
He is averaging only 13.9 points per game in the playoffs after averaging 17.6 in the regular season. If he is to miss Game 1 (scheduled for Friday at 11:00am AEST), Green is expected to start and extra pressure will be on Kyle Korver, J.R. Smith and others to account for Love's scoring and rebounding ability.

Nothing says Naples quite as well as a nice, hot pizza. On our most recent visit to Naples, Mihir and I only had one mission: To find the very best pizza in Naples. In only 3 days we managed to eat no less than 15 pizzas, all in the name of science, of course. We put our stomachs on the line so you won't have to. So if you're wondering where to get the best pizza in Naples, make sure to scroll down and check out our recommendations! We have also included a map of our favorite restaurants in Naples, as well as a couple of practical tips.
Who Invented the Pizza, Anyway?
If you think about it, pizza is nothing more than a kind of flatbread with tomato sauce. Flatbread has been around for thousands of years as an integral part of our diet. The first known flatbread in Italy would probably be the focaccia, to which Naples residents started adding tomatoes soon after the tomato first arrived in Europe in the 16th century. In the 18th century, it was primarily a dish eaten by the lower classes of Naples. However, the dish soon became popular among the wealthy and Naples turned into a food mecca for all classes.
It is said that pizza maker Raffaele Esposito invented the infamous Pizza Margherita in 1889 in honor of Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy. The bread was topped with red tomato sauce, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves, representing the flag of Italy.

What is so Special about Neapolitan Pizza?
As the home of pizza, Naples has its very own style of pizza, called Neapolitan Pizza. Neapolitan pizza consists of a base of thin pizza dough, topped with tomatoes and mozzarella. This kind of pizza is also known as a pizza Margherita. A pizza without cheese but a good drizzle of oregano and garlic is known as a pizza Marinara. A common street food, on the other hand, is the pizza Fritta, a deep-fried pizza reminiscent of a calzone (but better 😉 )
You May Also Like
What Ingredients are Used in a Neapolitan Pizza?
Traditionally, the tomatoes used for Neapolitan pizza are San Marzano tomatoes which are grown on the fertile soils of Mount Vesuvius. San Marzano tomatoes are particularly fragrant and less acidic than other tomato varieties. Occasionally, Roma tomatoes may also be used.
Although you can find pizza with normal mozzarella all over Naples, traditionally pizza Napoletana is made with Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, buffalo mozzarella from Italy's Campania region.
How is a Neapolitan Pizza Made?
In recent years, there has been an effort to standardize the look and taste of a Neapolitan pizza. According to the 'Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana', the pizza must be baked in a wood-fired oven, the base must be hand-kneaded and not rolled out with a rolling pin, and must not exceed 35 cm in diameter and 3 mm thickness in the center.
Why is Neapolitan Pizza Sometimes Referred to as 'Soupy' or 'Sloppy'?
At times, you will hear somebody refer to their pizza as 'soupy'. This is because the pizza base is often very thin and generously topped with tomato sauce and, of course, olive oil. As the sauce and oil soak the thin crust, the middle of the pizza becomes 'soupy'. In order to eat it with your hands, you'll need to fold the tip of the pizza back and eat quickly 😉
Where to Get the Best Pizza in Naples, Italy
To be fair, you can get a great pizza pretty much anywhere in Naples, but some restaurants are still a notch better than the others. You'll especially want to avoid any restaurant that has people outside trying to get you inside. As a general rule, a great restaurant will never have to ask you for your business. As the restaurant scene is ever-changing, some of the oldest pizzerias have suffered in quality of food and service. Two prime examples of this are Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba and Pizzeria Brandi which we had to exclude from our quest for the best pizza, although they are two of the oldest pizzerias in town.
In this guide, we're going to focus on 3 different kinds of pizza: Pizza Marinara, Pizza Margherita, and Pizza Fritta.
Insider Tip
Dinner service in Naples is traditionally very busy, and you may very well wait up to an hour for a table. You have a better chance at getting a table if you a) arrive early (around 19:00), or b) are more than 2 people (e.g. party of 4). Some restaurants to take reservations, but most operate on a first come – first serve basis.
8. I Decumani
I Decumani is a family-run pizzeria located in the old part of Naples. We ordered our typical pizza Margherita and pizza Marinara, although the restaurant is probably best-known for their specialty pizza, known as x. The pizza is served in the shape of a ring and generously topped with fresh ingredients which makes it a nice alternative to other pizzas in town. The restaurant is known to get crowded on the weekends, particularly when they are showing a soccer match on their flatscreen TV. If the wait for a seat in the restaurant is too long, they also offer a takeaway option.
Marinara: 3.5 EUR
Margherita: 4 EUR
Coperto: 2 EUR
7. Al 22
We stumbled upon Al 22 rather by accident because we had already eaten at our top-choice restaurants. Although it had not initially made our list of must-eat places in Naples, Al 22 was a pleasant surprise. We arrived a little later than usual and needed to wait about 5 minutes for a table. We seemed to be the only foreigners as the restaurant was clearly a neighborhood joint, filled by local families. Unlike other pizzerias in naples, Al 22 also serves pasta dishes in case you're in the mood for something different!
Marinara: 4 EUR
Margherita: 5 EUR
Insider Tip
Most pizzerias only have a small drinks menu. You'll often be restricted to their house wines (one red and one white), one kind of beer, and soft drinks. It is also not uncommon to serve soft drinks and water in plastic cups.
6. L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
Pizzeria da Michele is probably one of the most famous pizzerias not only in Naples but in the world. Established in 1870 and popular for over a hundred years, the restaurant rose to international fame in 2010. In case you didn't know, L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele is the pizzeria at which Julia Roberts eats in Eat, Pray, Love. They only serve 2 pizzas, a Margherita and a Marinara. I particularly enjoyed the 'soupy' quality of both pizzas, although the Marinara clearly outshone the Margherita. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, but be aware that you probably won't be the only foreigner there. Although there is no coperto, the servers may push you for a tip.
Marinara: 5 EUR
Margherita: 5 EUR
Coperto: None
Insider Tip
Coperto is a kind of service charge that is added to your bill at most restaurants in Italy. It is usually charged per person. Occasionally, there may be not set coperto but a service fee of x% or no service fee at all, but your waiter will demand a tip. When tipping it is customary to round up to the next full 5 EUR, but 10-15% of your total bill is fair.
5. Di Matteo
[one_half padding="0 5px 0 5px"]
[/one_half][one_half_last padding="0 5px 0 5px"][/one_half_last]
Di Matteo was the first pizzeria we ate at during our visit to Naples and it has remained one of my favorites through the experiment. I particularly appreciated the pizzas' 'soupyness'. A local recommended that we also try a 'frittatina' here (1.5 EUR), which is essentially a ball of stuffed and deep-fried pasta. Delicious!
Marinara: 3 EUR
Margherita: 5 EUR
Coperto: 15% service charge
4. Da Oliva Concettina ai Tre Santi
Concettina ai Tre Santi is probably one of the hippest pizzerias in Naples right now. Located further from the historic center of Naples, only a few tourists find their way here and the restaurant is mostly crowded with locals grabbing a quick lunch or dinner. For us, this pizzeria had hands down the most aromatic Marinara we've ever eaten in our lives. The base of the pizza is a little thicker than in some of the other places which makes it easier to eat.
Marinara: 5 EUR
Margherita: 5 EUR
Coperto: 1.5 EUR
3. De Figliole
De Figliole is a bit of a stand-out restaurant on our list as they exclusively sell pizza Fritta. This unassuming place in a kind of dodgy area of old Naples is a culinary revelation. After all, what could be better than a crispy yet doughy deep fried pizza, stuffed with deliciously creamy cheese and aromatic salami? Personally, we ordered our pizza Fritta take-away as it is significantly cheaper than sitting in the restaurant (about 1-2 EUR less). Pizza Fritta is usually a bit more expensive than regular pizzas, such as the Completa at De Figliole for 5 EUR, but they are very filling and simply mouth-watering.
2. Sorbillo
Sorbillo has widely been named the best pizzeria in Naples and is popular with locals and tourists alike. If you arrive here for dinner, chances are that you will need to wait at least 30 minutes for a table. The receptionist will take your name and call you over a speaker once they are ready to seat you. If you are a small party, you may be seated at a communal table. We definitely recommend coming here early to avoid the crowds. There is nothing to fault at this restaurant as the atmosphere is cozy, the prices are reasonable, and the pizzas are outstanding. Their pizzas are relatively 'soupy' compared to other restaurants.

Insider Tip
Don't trust opening hours on Google, as most restaurants in Naples are closed in the afternoon and may not even open at all before dinner service. Most restaurants begin their dinner service between 19:00 and 19:30.
1. Pizzeria Starita a Materdei
For us, the best pizza in Naples can be found at Pizzeria Starita. We ate at Starita on our last evening and it was truly a crowning finish to our quest of finding the best pizzeria in Naples. Located a couple of metro stops from most of the tourist sights, this restaurant is located in a primarily residential area of Naples. Over the last few years, it has become one of the most popular restaurants in the city and by now they have outlets not only in Italy but also New York City.
Starita's pizzas are perfection with a base not too thick but not too thin and just the right amount of tomato sauce, cheese, and herbs. The atmosphere is wonderful and their staff is very friendly. Also, unlike most other pizzerias, Starita has a full bar so you can easily have an Aperol Spritz (or 2) instead of a glass of wine. They also have a small selection of craft beers which is a big plus! They also serve a dessert made of deep-fried pizza dough and Nutella. To die for!

Los Angeles covers more than over 34,149 square miles. The popular Los Angeles attractions are spread all over, with some of them as much as 60 miles apart.
Things are getting better in the LA area in terms of public transportation, but the American love affair with the automobile was born in Los Angeles, and most people get around by car using the freeways.
Los Angeles Driving : Freeways and Traffic Lingo
California's first freeway, the 6-mile Arroyo Seco Parkway (now called the Pasadena Freeway) opened in 1940. Today, more than 600 miles of asphalt has been laid in and around Los Angeles. It sounds like a lot, but in fact, the city ranks 44th among urban areas in freeway space per resident. It's no wonder that you've heard about the resulting gridlock. The roads are so busy that a simple fender-bender can make six lanes slow to a crawl for miles.
Don't let the visitor's bureau or any other happy-talking travel writer tell you that LA traffic jams don't exist. Just ask any resident and if you don't believe them, USA Today reported in 2018 that Los Angeles has the country's worst traffic, but despite having the worst overall congestion, LA has lower peak period tie-ups than San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and Portland. And things get much better after dark, with Los Angeles city streets ranking better than 35 other cities.
Los Angeles drivers are aggressive. Don't expect them to slow down to let you change lanes. And they drive fast. In fact, the de facto motto seems to be "if the freeway is open enough, go as fast as you can." You could easily be on Interstate Highway 405 driving 75 mph in the slow lane and getting passed by everything on the road.
Angelenos' inability to drive in the rain is nearly legendary with the number of traffic accidents during a downpour soaring to up to four times their normal level.
Don't try to stay in the rightmost lane. It has a nasty tendency to suddenly become an Exit Only lane, forcing last-minute lane changes. Instead, hold off until you get very close to your exit.
If you're from outside California, don't be surprised to find motorcycles splitting lanes, driving between cars that are traveling in normal lanes. They can surprise you - and you have to keep an extra-sharp lookout for them when changing lanes in slow traffic.
Other things that will help keep you moving: Don't try to get on the freeway during rush hour. Especially don't try to use I-405. Don't even try to drive toward it. Get where you're going off-hours and stay put until the traffic clears up. Or override your GPS to avoid freeways, which is often a faster option.
Friday afternoons are reputed to be the worst for traffic jams, and trying to get into Los Angeles from other places on Sunday evening can also take much longer than you expected.
Los Angeles Traffic Lingo Decoded
If you don't have an interactive, GPS tune your car radio to KNX 1070 for traffic reports every 10 minutes on the fives. KFWB 980 also reports every 10 minutes on the ones.
Even if you have GPS, an LA traffic report can be entertaining. When you first start listening you may think you've lost your ability to understand English as they cheerily rattle on about sigalerts on the Artesia Freeway and looky-loos adding to the trouble in the number two lane.
If you want to sound like a local, call the highways "freeways." If you're talking about a freeway by number, always put the word "the" before it. For example, Interstate Highway 5 is "the 5" and US Highway 101 is "the 101."
A few phrases of Southland traffic lingo will also be useful:
- SigAlert: An unplanned event that stops traffic for 30 minutes or more
- Looky-loo: A driver who slows down to gawk at an accident or another incident
- Number 1 (2,3...) Lane: Numbered from the leftmost lane as #1
- Gore Point: That's the triangular area that separates a freeway from an exit ramp. It may or may not be paved, but is usually marked off with solid white lines. If the traffic report says a vehicle is in the "gore point," that's where to look for it. It is illegal to drive across a gore point; even you may see people do it.
Angelenos love their freeways so much that they've given them nicknames and you may hear them used instead of highway numbers on the local traffic report. The LA Freeway map below is a handy tool that can help you quickly translate.
And just for fun - in case you were wondering, according to California Highways, the SigAlert is named in honor of radio pioneer Loyd C. Sigmon. He came up with the idea of broadcasting traffic alerts to attract more listeners for radio station KMPC, which he co-owned. In the beginning, the alerts covered all kinds of emergencies - the first one broadcasted was about a train wreck. Nowadays, the Highway Patrol is in charge of issuing SigAlerts.
Carpool and HOV Lanes
Los Angeles has about 350 miles of HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes, also called carpool lanes. These lanes are reserved for vehicles with 2 or more occupants, 24 hours a day. And you can only get in and out of them in limited areas, which are well marked.
FasTrak transponders work everywhere in California, so you can use your Bay Area FasTrak to access the toll roads and express lanes in SoCal. If you enter a lane that's marked for carpools and FasTrak - and have the minimum number of occupants in your car to qualify without paying - you will be charged unless shield it by putting in the silver-colored mylar bag it came in.
In Orange County, drivers can pay to drive in the HOT (high occupancy toll) lanes on Highway 91, which are jokingly called "Lexus lanes."
City Streets
Oddly, locals call them "surface streets" as if other streets were either buried or elevated. They're often a less-aggravating way of getting around, but they have their quirks and local conventions. And you must know about making left turns before they scare the bejeezus out of you.
Getting Around by Metro Rail
The Metro Rail system is a good start at useful public transportation for Los Angeles, and you should check to see if it can take you where you want to go. It runs through downtown, Pasadena, Universal City, and Hollywood as well as many other places, for more information and schedules visit their website.
Don't Freak Out Over Left Turns in LA
In parts of the city, you may find a left turn lane at an intersection, but no protected left turn light. There's so much traffic that if you're too polite, you could sit there until you of starvation.
How to Make a Left Turn When There's No Turn Light
Here's how to conquer the odd and frightening game of "chicken" that Angelenos face every day.
Most of the LA's intersections are what is called "permissively" operated. That means you can turn left whenever gaps occur in opposing traffic. At busier intersections, that rarely happens. OK, it almost never happens.
Here's what to do: Pull into the middle of the intersection as soon as the light turns green. Even if you're second or third in line, pull into the intersection anyway. Hang out, hoping for that magic gap in traffic. Turn if you can.
When the gap hasn't appeared, and the light turns red, wait for all the cars coming straight on to get done running the light. When that's over, speed through your turn as fast as you can, with at least one — sometimes two — drivers on your tail. It sounds terrifying because it is, but Angelenos are so used to it that they seldom have accidents.
You may get the idea that you also shouldn't try to jet into an intersection if going straight ahead as a light turns green — and you'd be right.
Another Way to Cope: Turn Right
Did you know that making three right turns yields the same result as turning left? Instead of paying attention to your GPS navigation, go one block past the intersection. Turn right at the first street you come to.
Do that two more times or wait for your GPS to get you back on track and you'll be going the same direction you would have been if you made that left turn.
Why Does LA Have Such Weird Left Turns?
Why is it that Los Angeles city streets don't have left turn signals, even when they have left turn lanes? According to LAist, less than 20 percent of Los Angeles intersections have protected left turn lanes with a dedicated left turn signal.
The LA Department of Transportation has nothing against left-hand-turn signals. In fact, the reason for the lack of signals is mostly historical. And these days it's also a matter of money. Installing a single left turn signal can cost $100,000 or more.
In fact, according to the LA Times turning left on a red light is so much a part of the L.A. driving culture that traffic planners count on people doing it to keep traffic flowing.
It sounds illegal, but it isn't quite. There's a section of the motor vehicle code that allows drivers to turn left on red as long as they move into the intersection while the light is green or yellow. That's why you sneak on out there behind that first car when you can.
Los Angeles Freeway Map
This map is intended to show the major freeways in the Los Angeles area, and in particular to help visitors translate the common nicknames local people use for them, like when they say: "Take the Hollywood Freeway to the Santa Monica Freeway."
It isn't detailed or accurate enough to use for navigation, but you can see a full-sized version of it at Google maps.

"The Birthday Measles"
It seems I often write about birthdays and holidays, but in truth, its because I find the human reaction, especially in children, so interesting. Its like we, as a society, have put so much attention (not to say money, stress and time), on things that don't really work, but that at their source were meant to be joyful events. I say this having been told today by our girl that she was suffering from "The Birthday Measles".
That's our "G" in a nutshell. She has the wonderful gift of summing up what she feels in a beautiful piece of imagery. She paints pictures with her words and in a flash you know where she's at. I could talk with her about life for lifetimes.
The birthday measles. Yes, it's an annual disease. It lasts for about 2 weeks before the big day and it is filled with anxiety, worry, stress, woes of getting older, remembering of being younger and basically symptoms of high pitched voices, obsessing over toy catalogues and life being to much. No matter what approach we take, it always seems to lurk in the back of our brown haired girl's mind.
The day will come and she'll enjoy it. She says she's planning to "go with the flow" and only have "fragile plans". But still, after all of the stress she's been under with her case of the birthday spots, I always wonder… was it worth it?
You've heard me say it before. I love birthdays because it reminds me to take the moment and celebrate the person. With our children I take the time to appreciate their arrival, to remember their birth, to fill myself with awe and wonder at who they've become so far. I celebrate them as the person they really are, and always make sure their day is filled with simple joys. But its amazing how much the usual birthday stresses can distract from this purpose. Pursuit of a present, making sure a cake is to their liking, the question of what to do on the day, whether family will make a fuss or not… the world of "What if's" make "going with the flow" challenging.
When our daughters were young and the birthday train started, I was so unaware of how I wanted it to be. I fell into the trap of making way too big of deal. I enjoyed the stress of planning parties, going over the top and helping to create mayhem. Unfortunately, I introduced the idea of stressful celebrations into their lives and they are too young to shake it still. Our little boy is different. He sees their excitement but still expresses that excitement for each new day. I hope he doesn't grow out of that.
And so, what is my focus, with my new perspective, for our daughter's celebration? Just because I don't like the stress of presents and cake doesn't mean she has to suffer for it. Tomorrow I will celebrate her. I take the moment tonight to recall her birth. Her sudden arrival 5 weeks early, making her only 10 months younger than her sister. That time at home when she just suddenly arrived, and the moments we had with her before the emergency crew came and havoc reigned for 2 weeks. Her personal announcement that it was time for her to come, that she couldn't wait, her passion and strength when things felt off to her, even when she was only a few weeks old. Her delight in everything, her wonder with life, made stronger by that time of contrast when in hospital. She is still that passionate darling. She still feels each moment strongly, taking the joy to the fullest, indicating it with her laughter and dancing about. She feels life with every fibre of her body as well as her spirit. Our darling girl understands how life works so well. I love how she can feel "off" but switch quickly around to find a better feeling place on any subject. I love how she feels her way through life, moment by moment at a time. Her eyes dance and sparkle when she feels connected and she reaches for that connection in every waking moment.
Yes, our little 8 year old girl is a miracle child. I sometimes wonder, if with her strong emotional settings, which makes her feel off and on so entirely, that if she was in a normal school settings she wouldn't be labelled as autistic, ADT or simply hard to manage. She learns at her own pace, and stuns me at how much she picks up without even studying something. She feels her way to an answer, she intuitively learns while watching her sister. She plays, she dances, she loves life. She is the ideal unschooled child, who still has managed to read well beyond her years. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't. She has no concept of what others think when she says she doesn't like Harry Potter, but loves Beatrix Potter!
If there's one thing to say about our darling girl its that she is entirely herself and feels it each moment to the fullest.
I thank all the powers that be for our little angel. She lifts my heart and makes my soul dance. She reminds me to stop and play dolls and create a tea party and she brings out joy and magic in our family.
Yes, that is how I will celebrate tomorrow. I hope that she knows how much I celebrate her on this day and everyday and I know I'll be thinking about it when I look at her tomorrow morning when I wish her a very happy birthday.

I LOVE the term Birthday Measles & I think I get them every year...despite never having had a big party or any big to-do like it. It may just very well be in her make-up. When I grew up we seldom had birthday parties at all & few gifts. I never received a formal bday gift from my parents at all. My mom let us pick what we wanted for each meal & we got a cake or pie or whatever was our favorite & we got to pick what we watched on TV as a family, etc. It was a special day - but not in the way other people seem to celebrate it. Even so, I was a dreamer & always dreamed of the kinds of parties I read about in books or saw on TV or saw other kids have. I am not even sure if I really wanted it or not - but I liked to dream of everything - even the impossible things (such as I often daydreamed of having a very small pink house in our yard that I would live in full time next door to my family, at say age 8 = LOL). Anyway I love your thoughts on it. MY mom always made me feel special on that day - talked about me all day - what I was like when I was born, when I first walked or talked, what my first word was, etc & she did it for each of us. The birthday boy/girl was the topic of dinner & things we all remembered about them, etc. I thought it was great & am so thankful for those memories. The gifts I got? I cannot remember a single one now, but I got them, from my godmother, a close friend from school, my gramma. I still don't remember them. I do remember everyone telling stories about me at dinner though. ;)ReplyDelete

The digital transition favours innovation and growth, yet it simultaneously carries risks for the State, economic stakeholders and citizens. Cybercrime, espionage, propaganda, sabotage and excessive exploitation of personal data threaten digital trust and security.
For years, France has been engaged in ambitious European initiatives to build a stable and secure cyberspace. One of these initiatives is the European cybersecurity month, the EU's annual awareness campaign that takes place each October across Europe.
Coordinated by ANSSI, the national authority on cybersecurity and cyberdefence, this event aims to raise awareness of cyber security threats and provide advices and recommendations to adopt both at work and at home in order to significantly raise the level of computer security in France.
For the 2017 edition, many French institutional actors (ministers, national authorities, associations) all over France will take part actively in this campaign so as to reach a large audience. Conferences, digital campaigns … all the activities will be registered on the ENISA official website as well as on a dedicated web page : www.ssi.gouv.fr/mois-europeen/ .
Follow the French program on Twitter #TousSecNum and #ECSM and become an actor of the event yourself by sharing the advices and recommendations online !

Granolio Ltd.
Granolio Ltd. was founded in December 1996 with its headquarters in Zagreb. The company business was initially based on wheat trade, mill products, meat and livestock, animal feed components and edible and vegetable oils. From 1997 to 2001 the company recorded a constant growth of turnover, employment and profits.
In April 2001, with the purchase of a mill and a silo in the Gornji Draganac (near Čazma), Granolio Ltd. entered a new stage of development, reorienting from predominantly trading activities to production. It significantly increased the production capacity of the Farina mill, and has become a significant market factor through its quality approach to the market.
Granolio Ltd. bought the mill in Veliki Kopanici in 2003, increasing the existing capacity, and thereby becoming the largest producer of mill products in Croatia. In mid-2004, the company introduced quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 norm and HACCP system, thus gaining even greater credibility and confirming the high quality of its products.
That same year, the company bought silos capacities in Slavonski Brod, thus ensuring quality storage of raw materials. Last year, the company ground a total of around 100,000 MT of wheat, which equates to about 20% share of the Croatian market. The company employs more than 100 people, has never been blocked, timely fulfilling all its obligations towards the state budget, creditors and suppliers, and is continually investing in the modernization of its production facilities and compliance with the highest standards of the food industry.

Sachiko commented on 2016-10-13 06:16
@dvzrv: as per @fusion809's issue, gtkmm3 is indeed installed in the correct area, however, that file fails to show up even after a reboot. A complete system reinstall does not fix the problem either.
And based on his output of his command he is building it via makepkg -sri which should pull in the required dependencies, so it isn't a question of if the package is installed. I'm scratching my head as well on this one for sure as grub-customizer was my easy way of setting grub up.
EDIT: Seems my complaint was short lived. The mirrors I was using apparently weren't in sync so they didn't have the latest GTK3 yet. Switched mirrors, updated system, and everything works.
dvzrv commented on 2016-10-03 22:16
@fusion809: In case you're still tracking that issue.
gtkmm3 3.20.1 installs gtkmm.h into this place: /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm.h
This supposedly is the same for 3.22 (according to the file list: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/gtkmm3/files/).
Is that file really not there?
This is pretty awkward and should not happen, as it's a system-wide include. Have you rebooted?
dvzrv commented on 2016-09-29 14:47
@fusion809: Well, I guess that's something to report upstream, not here. Also, the current stable gtkmm3 version is 3.20.1 in the repos.
Thanks for the heads up nonetheless!

Just updated to 5.0.6
It seems to work fine so far.
@Auphora: I'm not sure what your error relates to and you might want to report this upstream, not here. Also:
- it seems some picture is not where it's supposed to be
- something in the way you built this package seems very off. There should be no relation to some makepkg dir in tmp when running the application... how exactly did you build this package? I suggest this way: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages
Auphora commented on 2016-03-28 12:15
@dvzrv Works good. Not sure what I've done wrong, but when I change my grub theme, click on one of the previews of that theme and change it afterwards I get this error message:
"exeptiopn '9Exception'
with message 'themefile boot_menu_e.png not found!'
in /tmp/makepkg/grub-customizer/src/grub-customizer-5.0.4/src/main/../Bootstrap/../Model/Theme.hpp:152"
I just installed it via makepkg. When changing the build path of makepkg the error message also changes to that path
dvzrv commented on 2016-03-28 11:22
Just updated to the 5.0 branch.
Please bake this and see if it works for you as intended.
So far I didn't have any problems.
dvzrv commented on 2016-03-22 16:04
@mister_karim: Not sure in what way you've installed your package, but you shouldn't be running anything from /tmp/yaourt after installing a package.
If your report is related to installing grub-customizer, use makepkg (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) instead of (possibly) broken AUR helper applications, which you might not understand entirely.
If your report is related to running the application, please report it upstream.
In any case, please refer to the wiki before posting here and make sure you actually did things the way they were intended.
I just built, installed and ran grub-customizer successfully.

New DNC Chairman Tom Perez asks for the resignation of all staffers
It is just breaking that DNC Chairman Tom Perez has asked for the resignation of all staffers in a major overhaul. Here is more:
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has launched a major overhaul of the party's organization, which has been stung by recent crises — and the DNC has requested resignation letters from all current staffers.
Party staff routinely see major turnover with a new boss and they had been alerted to expect such a move. However, the mass resignation letters will give Perez a chance to completely remake the DNC's headquarters from scratch. Staffing had already reached unusual lows following a round of post-election layoffs in December.
I have to say this is much needed after the DNC rigged the primary to screw over Bernie Sanders and his supporters to secure the party's nomination for Hillary Clinton. This has slipped from the minds of the public because of the fake news Russia hacking story and intentionally so.
The whole reason the Democrats have been pushing the Russia story with no evidence is to take the focus off what was in the hacked emails and it has worked perfectly. Those who supported Bernie Sanders and who were still upset at the DNC suddenly turned their attention to Russia as if that country had anything to do with what the party was up to behind the scenes. Displaced anger.
Donald Trump and the Republicans could learn a thing or two from this news: it is time to purge all of the holdovers from the Obama regime that can be legally purged and start anew. Then and only then will the leaks stop. Maybe…

CAIRO — Egyptian militants affiliated with the Islamic State extremist group have threatened to kill a hostage from Croatia within 48 hours unless the Egyptian government releases female prisoners, according to a video released Wednesday.
It was the first time in a two-year-old campaign of violence against the government that the militants had kidnapped or threatened to kill a foreigner, raising new fears of more attacks.
Many analysts had warned that the Sinai jihadists might take aim at foreign citizens or Egypt's Christian minority after they pledged their loyalty last fall to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, and the video comes just two months after the militants' first attempts to attack the crucial tourism industry.
In the video, a man who identifies himself as Tomislav Salopek, wearing a peach-colored jumpsuit and kneeling in the sand, addresses the camera. Speaking in English, he says that he is married with two children, works for a French company with a branch in Cairo and was abducted on July 22. A man wearing a camouflage uniform and mask stands behind him, holding a knife.
Mr. Salopek, a 30-year-old citizen of Croatia, says that the militants want to "substitute" him with Muslim women in Egyptian prisons and adds that it needs to happen within 48 hours. "If not, the soldiers of Wilayat al-Sina will kill me," he says, using the Arabic name of the militant group, which is also known as Sinai Province.
The footage resembles videos released by Islamic State militants in Iraq, Syria and Libya, a sign of possibly closer coordination between the Egyptian jihadists and militants abroad.
It presents a new challenge to President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as he welcomes hundreds of foreign dignitaries for the inauguration of a new channel of the Suez Canal on Thursday, an event the government has promoted as a sign of Egypt's prosperous future.
Insurgents who have been attacking the government since the military's ouster of President Mohamed Morsi in 2013 have carried out a series of brazen assaults in recent months that show a growing sophistication and a willingness to broaden their targets to include civilians. Since late June, militants have assassinated the country's top prosecutor, fired a missile at an Egyptian naval vessel and briefly occupied a town in the northern Sinai Peninsula.
Militants also attempted attacks near the Pyramids of Giza and the Karnak Temple at Luxor, Egypt's most popular tourist destinations, in an ominous turn for the government, which depends heavily on the foreign currency generated by tourism.
The kidnapping of Mr. Salopek also suggested that workers at foreign companies are under threat. The Croatian government announced his kidnapping last month, without naming him, saying that one of its citizens had been abducted by unidentified armed men in Cairo while driving to work in a company car, The Associated Press reported at the time.
In the video, Mr. Salopek said he worked for CGG Ardiseis, a French company involved in the oil and gas industry.

Windsor Ladies First XI suffered a major setback in their battle against the drop after a 3-1 defeat by fellow strugglers Gerrards Cross Ladies 1s.
Playing at home, Cross caught Windsor off-guard from the whistle and went 1-0 up within minutes of the start.
But Windsor kept their composure and took the game to their hosts with good, attacking hockey that won a series of short corners.
And the breakthrough came when Laura Weaver drilled a shot from a penalty corner goalwards but as it was cleared, captain Freya Hayter was perfectly placed to volley it past the keeper to level the game.
With all to play for, Cross went on the offensive and always looked threatening in attack as they pushed forward in numbers.
Pressing high paid off as they stole the ball from a hemmed in Windsor defence and a through ball across the D was picked up by a striker who had made an intelligent run to slam the ball past diving keeper Ruki Sayid.
While Windsor had some good possession in the second half, Cross tactics of putting ten players behind the ball in their own half and hitting their opponents on a counter attack was a successful game plan.
Windsor were unable to find a way through the sea of yellow and blue shirts and despite a series of saves by Sayid, a looping shot to the top right corner dipped over the defence to kill off the game.
The defeat has given Windsor a challenging few weeks as they fight to stay in Trysports Division 1.
Just one point is keeping them above Gerrards Cross who are in the drop zone but have two games in hand.
And on Saturday, February 10, Windsor host promotion contenders Marlow Ladies 3s who are second but seeking to oust Bicester Ladies 1s from the number one spot.
In Division 4 Windsor Ladies 2s picked up their first point of 2018 in a 3-3 draw away against Witney Ladies 3s.
The hosts took the lead but Windsor were soon level following a Nikki Hill strike from a penalty corner.
And it was Witney who edged ahead again in the second half until Paula Green looped a shot past the keeper to make it 2-2.
The Hill-Green partnership put Windsor in front from a well worked short corner routine with Green finishing the move.
At 3-2 Windsor should have seen the game out but second from bottom Witney dug in and with minutes left on the clock, pulled one back to share the points.
Windsor next host foot of the table team Milton Keynes Ladies 3s.
Windsor Mens First XI lost 6-2 away to MBBO Division 2 promotion hopefuls Abingdon 1s.
In their worst defeat of the season, Windsor found themselves 3-0 down within 15 minutes after failing to clear a series of penalty corners.
Matt Dewhurst boosted spirits with a goal just before half time but Abingdon's confidence was barely dented when the game restarted.
The hosts were swift to make their presence felt to go 4-1 up although Dan Jones put Windsor back in the game with a sweeping finish to make it 4-2.
But Abingdon finished with a flourish with two more goals to add to Windsor's miserable afternoon.
They are now fighting for survival and must pick up points at home against third placed Thame 1.
Windsor Mens 2s continued their amazing run in Division 2 with a 7-0 drubbing of Maidenhead Magicians at home to go eight points clear at the top.
Jack Snell opened the scoring for Windsor when his first strike came off the goalkeeper's foot and returned to his stick for a second bite at the cherry.
Composed, he struck again and secured the early lead.
Within five minutes Kevin Jones on his return from injury carved up gaps between defence and goalkeeper to bag a brace and make it 3-0 with Jose Sirvent adding the fourth goal just before half time.
And the rout continued in the second half with Martin Cook and Ed Lumley getting on the score sheet with Snell ending the game as he began it – with a goal to make it seven for Windsor.
The 2s travel to take on Tring Men's 2s on Saturday, February 10.
And in Division 7, Windsor Mens 3s beat Newbury and Thatcham Men's 5s 2-1 at home and will play local rivals Slough Swifts who are just one place and three points above them.

It was Thanksgiving day back in 2002. I was only 23 years old and my life forever changed on that day. I had a placental abruption and Brendan was born at 33 weeks. He lost oxygen during delivery due to incompetent care but was a fighter and turned 17 this year. My journey in life over the past 17 years took many turns I was not expecting but I try to stay strong and have my husband by my side even when I am not.

Brendan's ASD is CLOSED!!! :)
Less than an hour later I received another phone call and yes my heart dropped again. It was too early for them to be finished... yet they were! The nurse just said they were all done and the Dr. was coming out to talk to me. My brain instantly went to "OMG it didn't work" so I forced myself to ask the question "was she able to close it?" and I heard those lovely words "YES, it's closed". It is hard to explain that immediate feeling of relief. At first I was a bit shocked. When I first said those words to my husband, who was staring at me trying to listen to my phone call and wondering the same thing, it sunk in. It worked!! We both got teary eyed. Open heart has been on my mind for years and there have been many nights of tears from fear. He has been supportive every single time and now I don't have to shed tears anymore about this. I can move on emotionally. My son doesn't have to endure something so strenuous on his body. I feel so relieved and like a huge weight has been lifted. I really felt lighter that night.
We were told we could see him in about 30 minutes but an hour went by before they called us. His father and I went in first. Brendan had two of his grandmothers, one grandfather, his dad, stepdad and of course myself waiting to see him. As we were walking in we were told they had some trouble with bleeding and had to hold pressure for a while to stop it (which created some nasty bruising on my lil boy) and they had to sedate him to control it. His spasticity causes his knees to bend and his legs to scrunch up which wasn't helping the situation. So he slept medicated for the next 3 hours. We all took turns just sitting with him and letting him sleep. He had to lay still for 7 hours so sleeping for 3 of those was fine with me.
He actually woke up peaceful. He usually wakes up very cranky after any surgery or procedure but not this time which was great since he had to just lay flat and still until 9pm. Everyone left around 6pm and we had a quick visit from my sister around 7 which helped break up the time. He vomited his first popsicle which I knew was coming. It always happens no matter what so this little boy who hadn't been able to eat for 24 hours now had to wait for his belly to wake up. He finally got another popsicle and when that stayed down so he mowed down two packages of oyster crackers, a package of cheez its, gingerale, some apple juice, and finally some chicken parm.
We got to leave the room for some x-rays and then just sat together and talked. We video skyped my husband. We tried playing legos but that didn't work with his IV in his good hand and the whole laying down thing. He really perked up after he ate and was much more himself. He was cute and funny and the nurses all loved him. I was exhausted so we both went to bed at 10:30pm after he had a full belly.
I expected a long night of him talking to me and asking questions but I told him we had to go to sleep and he just did! He is amazing! We both woke up alot during the night due to the nurses coming in but I stayed out of it and just listened and he just talked to the nurse and went back to sleep. (still in shock about this!) He asked them questions and handled this whole thing like such a big boy. He really amazed me this time. He is so brave.
We were able to leave the hospital at 10 the next morning after the x rays and echo showed that the device stayed in place!!!! He walked all the way from his room to the van in the parking garage which was one long walk for him in his walker. It must have felt good! He had been asking for McDonalds since the day before so that is what he got and he ate everything. We went home and relaxed and played legos.
We had a great week together and just kept it low key. He did end up having a 102 fever for 24 hours but it hovered around 99-100 other than that so we just hoped for the best and yesterday he was fever free. He has to go see his cardiologist here in RI next week and in 3 months and we just have to hope that the device stays in place and everything goes as planned. He should start gaining some weight now that his heart doesn't have to work so hard!!
It is over and it worked and I am so thankful. The prayers worked and my son is truley amazing and he reminds me of this all the time!!

Stephanie - Not sure you remember me from the BBC CP board. I just did a random click off of Sheila's blog and couldn't believe when I saw him. I said to myself "I know this boy!!" So neat to see pictures and hear how he is doing. The heart procedure would have been so terrifying! How did you ever get through it?
Hope you don't mind me visiting often. I'd like to keep following up on Brendan. Take care!

Medpricer, healthcare's leading cost management platform for purchased services, announced record results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2016. Medpricer saw revenue growth of more than 80 percent as compared to the previous year.
"This has been our highest revenue quarter in our ten year history." said Chris Gormley, CEO of Medpricer. "Healthcare systems are trying to cut operating costs to make-up for cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Our increased revenue is driven by Medpricer's Purchased Services system that helps healthcare systems with Medicare and Medicaid cuts by delivering significant operating cost savings."
Our increasing revenue is reflecting the bigger demand we are seeing from healthcare organizations to uncover new ways to cut their operating costs. Our Purchased Services system helps these healthcare organizations to find guaranteed savings.
Medpricer's purchased services solutions help healthcare systems understand what is spent in purchased services so they can take action to gain and keep savings. They consist of:
- Medpricer Compare: Benchmarking to evaluate purchased services spend against competitive bidding results for accurate price comparisons.
- Medpricer Discovery and Trend: Analytics to pinpoint purchased services spend and savings opportunities and see real-time costs at the category, vendor and facility level.
- Medpricer Sourcing: A customizable blend of technology, on-demand services, process and intelligence that streamlines and maximizes the competitive bidding process resulting in immediate cost reductions and favorable contract terms.
