Christmas Cake
This is the traditional Christmas or Festival Cake but prepared and cooked in the Shuttle Chef.
It couldn't be easier and the results are always so moist.
Such an efficient time and energy saver........you could make these on a regular basis as the effort is far less than the reward.
Suitable for the 3 or 4.5 litre inner saucepans
(Using our stainless steel cake/steamed pudding tin or any suitable 16 cm cake tin)
Serves: 10
(This recipe can be doubled to make two cakes or 1 cake and 1 pudding)
150 grams of raisins chopped (1 cup)
100 grams of sultanas (3/4 of a cup)
100 grams of currants (3/4 of a cup)
75 grams of pitted dates chopped (1/2 a cup)
75 grams of figs or prunes chopped (1/2 a cup)
50 grams of glace cherries chopped (1/2 a cup)
1/2 a cup of brandy or whisky
125 grams of butter (room temperature)
100 grams dark brown sugar (1/2 a cup)
1 tablespoon of treacle
1 teaspoon of finely grated orange rind
2 eggs
1 cup of plain flour
1/4 of a cup of self raising flour
2 teaspoons of ground cardamom
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 a cup of slivered almonds toasted
Whole blanched almonds toasted for decorating.
Preparation time: 30 minutes plus standing time
Simmering time on the stove top: 65 minutes
Thermal Cooking time: 8 hours minimum.
1. Combine the dried fruit in a bowl. Heat the brandy (whisky) in a saucepan over a medium heat until hot but do not bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the fruit mix. Stir to combine. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature overnight for soaking.
2. Cut two circles of baking paper to fit the cake tin. Grease the cake tin and line the base with one of the baking paper circles.
3. Beat the butter, sugar, treacle and orange rind in a bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add the flour and spices and fold to combine. Stir in the fruit mixture and slivered almonds.
5. Spoon into the cake tin and smooth the surface.
6. Decorate with toasted whole almonds. Cover with the other baking paper circle. Put the lid onto the cake tin and clip down (If using another cake tin, cover with alfoil and tie securely with string)
7. Add enough boiling water to the inner saucepan to come 2/3 of the way up the side of the cake tin. If you are using the 4.5 litre saucepan, place a suitable trivet inside first. If you are using the 3 litre saucepan, place a fold of alfoil in the base. Lower the cake tin into the boiling water (using the handles or an alfoil strap) Bring the water back to the boil. Turn down the heat to a low simmer.
8. Simmer gently with the lid on for 65 -70 minutes, adding more boiling water if necessary and topping up the boiling water to 2/3, just before transferring the saucepan into the Shuttle Chef.
9. Turn off the heat and transfer the saucepan into the vacuum insulated outer container. Close the lid and leave for a minimum of 8 hours or even overnight.
10. Test with a skewer which should come out clean. If the skewer is not clean you can return the saucepan to a simmer on the stove top for another 20 minutes and then place it back in the vacuum insulated outer for another two hours.
11. Allow to cool in the tin

As a law firm, our team stands up for sellers against baseless IP complaints and obtains withdrawals. When Amazon refuses to reinstate accounts or release sellers' money, Rosenbaum Famularo, PC takes Amazon to arbitration. As Amazon sellers pivot into creating their own private labels, our team helps sellers with everything from filing trademarks to protecting brands from counterfeiters. We have tremendous experience with rights owner complaints and intellectual property law as it pertains to Amazon sellers.
Monitoring ASINs
Listing hijacking is a phenomenon that every seller, big or small, should be aware of and actively seeking to prevent.
Sellers who are unauthorized to sell a brand's product but pop up on those listings and attempt to sell are called "hijackers".
Monitoring your brand's ASINs frequently will help alert sellers to deal with hijackers more quickly and efficiently.
Hijackers may be selling counterfeit products, infringing products, or inauthentic products.
Each category is equally important to prevent, from a seller's point of view, however they are treated differently by Amazon. Inauthentic goods are not strictly defined by Amazon; but one thing is certain, these products are not necessarily counterfeit. Generally speaking, Amazon uses the term "inauthentic" for goods they believe may be from the gray market. Those are goods that are potentially procured from unauthorized channels of trade. As Amazon uses the term, inauthentic goods are defined by the place of purchase by the seller. That is to say, items that are purchased outside of the legitimate stream of commerce may be flagged by the purchaser.
Our ASIN monitoring program uses a sophisticated monitoring software that gives us updates twice daily. We have the capability of monitoring numerous ASINs for many sellers simultaneously. The status of each ASIN is reported and further reviewed by one of the many dedicated team members at Rosenbaum Famularo, P.C. We review this data twice a day to ensure that we have the maximum amount of information to protect you from hijackers.
Keep in mind that Amazon is a global platform. Anyone from anywhere in the world may be joining a listing and selling cheap, inauthentic goods at some one else's expense. The reason we are able to help as many brands remain as hijacker-free as possible is the frequency with which we check listings.
If sellers decide to undertake this massive and time-consuming job themselves, do the sweeps as frequently and thoroughly as the business is capable of.
Test Buys
The test buy is a necessary part of brand protection.
Why is this step so crucial? Without the test buy, neither sellers nor anyone on our staff, can properly evaluate if the product in question is in fact counterfeit, infringing, or inauthentic.
We advise that test buys be conducted before contacting us, as it will save time, thus accelerating the timetable for sellers to regain control of their listings. Once a seller has conducted the test buy, we ask them to send it to our office so that we may conduct our own evaluation.
Infringing or inauthentic claims are quite serious if they are leveled against any seller.
If the claim turns out to be unfounded, then a seller may lose several days of sales, or even lose selling privileges altogether. We take the ramifications of these claims seriously. As a result, we strongly encourage every seller to verify the product they claim is infringing with a test buy. If our evaluation concludes that the product is in fact infringing, inauthentic, or counterfeit, we will advise moving to the next step: sending a cease and desist letter to the infringing seller.
Cease and Desist Letters
Cease and desist letters are an effective way to put nefarious sellers on notice of pending action if they do not comply with the terms set forth.
We generally choose this as the next step because we take these matters quite seriously and do not wish to harm sellers on Amazon. In some cases, sellers are simply unaware that they are infringing on another brand's rights. In others, sellers agree to the terms of the cease and desist letter without further issue.
A new policy that we have implemented is asking clients to pre-authorize certain actions in the event an affirmative response to the cease and desist letter is received. This saves time between waiting on responses to emails as the client already approved us to act. This helps get our clients back in control of their listings even faster. If no pre-authorization is given, then either the client is informed as soon as a response is received or, if no response is received, the time expires for the letter as is normal.
Cease and desist letters usually allow a two-business day time period for the recipient to respond. If an affirmative response is given by the possible infringing seller, then a contract is drawn up stating the terms of the agreement. If there is no response, or a response indicating the seller will not cease selling on that listing, then a report of infringement is generated.
Reports of Infringement
There are two courses of action taken after the test buy. We draft a report on our letterhead based on the inherent differences between the two products, warranty differences, any infringement of registered rights, and ask our clients to accordingly change the warranty information on both their website and the product detail page.
CJ Side Note: Remember, only sellers registered for Brand Registry 2.0 may change the product detail page. This is an incredible tool for private label sellers to take advantage of.
Once both the listing and private label websites have been sufficiently altered, a member of our team will submit the report on the client's behalf. Reports are drafted by our team whose great deal of experience in drafting these documents, many times, leads to successes. Submissions to Amazon detail the infringing content, seller, and all attempts to resolve the issue prior to this submission.
Amazon is more responsive to reports of infringement if there have been attempts to resolve the issue with the other party. If the client has registered rights, then the document will argue the other seller is violating those rights. If our client has either a pending application for rights or merely common law rights, then the letter will assert their common law rights.
In order to make the strongest argument possible, we ask several questions to ascertain the extent of use for our client's mark.
First, we ask when the date of first use of the mark in commerce was. This establishes the point at which common law protections begin.
Second, the number of products sold in the United States bearing the mark.
Third, the number of customers buying products bearing the mark in the United States. These points go to the strength of the mark among consumers.
Fourth, quantifiable evidence of marketing and or advertising expenditures. Large scale marketing campaigns may show the area which our client's mark covers. When dealing with traditional, brick-and-mortar stores, geographic area is used to determine where the mark has protection. Protection is partially determined by the scope of advertising; the greater amount of advertising, the greater the area of protection is extended. Similarly, the more an e-merchant advertises and spends in advertising on the internet, the stronger the argument for common law rights.
Fifth, whether there are any links to websites using the mark in commerce. Links to other sites in commerce shows the penetration of the mark on the internet. The more links that take a customer to that particular product, the better. Additional questions may be asked if need be. If the client has a pending application, the links may be used to show the client's good faith in usage of the mark. These questions help us determine just how to approach the report. If the initial report is not accepted by Amazon, we will revise and resubmit the document in hopes it will then be accepted.
Drafting Warrantee Language
Changing the existing warranty language, or drafting initial warranty language is an essential element of reports of infringement.
Warranties can be used to circumvent a rule known as the "first sale doctrine". The first sale doctrine states that persons selling a product from an authorized retailer, distributor, or the manufacturer are not liable for selling infringing products if they are the first purchaser. However, there are exceptions such as differences in warranty.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held in Beltronics USA, Inc. v. Midwest Inventory Distribution, L.L.C. that warranties may be a point of material difference nullifying the first sale doctrine if the unauthorized seller is unable to provide anything the warranty states.
The test buy will reveal if there are material differences between the two physical products, however it is our belief that it is best to submit several arguments in the same report in order to increase the likelihood of success.
When deciding how to create a material difference between the two products we have several touchstones.
First, it is important to know that each warranty will be different product to product, seller to seller, and even between the same style of products.
This means every single warranty draft is unique to that product and seller combination. We use our knowledge of related products' warranties to generate ideas about what may be included or excluded from the updated language. We also look to what may be common language among successful products in that category. Sellers must have the capability of fulfilling any warranty request made by the purchaser of a product. Therefore, it is imperative to know the capability of the seller.
Finally, we work with our clients to find something unique that only our client can deliver to incorporate in to the warranty language. This ensures that if someone tries to redeem a warranty outside of authorized channels of trade, a material difference will certainly exist. Again, this depends on the product; as something like shampoo will have a general warranty satisfied by all. This is why we always include language stating that warranties are redeemable only with proof of purchase from an authorized retailer.

We're so eager to share everything about this wonderful world and the marvelous people we've created, it's far too easy to overload the reader, who then gets bored and tosses the book across the room. I had a similar problem with Framed, set in an art gallery. I was a framer for 9 years and loved every step of the process. Once I chopped all the detail, the story was much better.

With the present fall in the gold price to the mid-$800 region, a large number of new gold investors were a little stunned by the fall. But theres no need to be. We feel the opposite; after all, when gold was running up through $900 after taking off at the end of last year from around $810, one may have been forgiven for believing that this price would rise to four figures. But inevitably, such a rise is met by a fall back to where it started from, unless there was good reason for the price going there in the first place. So now we see a pullback of just below 6% to $875 and are delighted. Why? When such a pullback happens it takes the pressure off the buyers because they are covering short positions or have to buy for another reason. Sellers who held off now feel that the price has peaked and they come into push the price down. Speculators run for cover not knowing which way to go next. The emotional buyer or sellers takes stock and tightens their grip on positions or closes them. Once complete this action calms the market down again. All take stock of what the market realities are and what to expect. Then the next move is made for whatever reason. The market regains it health and move on. This is called a consolidation period and gives power to the market to move ahead. With the Fed cutting interest rates by 0.75% in one go watch the market move on from here. We hope you enjoyed the fall, because things may well have changed now?
In India when such a spike in prices occur the first knee jerk reaction is to say Im not paying that and the buyer is sidelined. Many will turn round and say the price has gone too far and stand back waiting for it to pullback. Once it has done this, buyers then return. The pullback after a rise means that a new floor price can be established or a new foundation laid on which both buyers and sellers can feel comfortable at that level because it is a true reflection of demand and supply at present. It is then that long, medium and short-term players will return to the market. This is why it is a joy. Once a consolidation is complete, the fundamentals driving the underlying market dominate pricing, with a rise or a fall in the price thereafter.
Of course the wise player knows where this future floor price will come in a pullback, so will aim to buy on the fall and particularly when the fall seems overdone or overshoots this price. In the knowledge that the price is going much higher, another joy is to buy on the fall [or dips] and watch the price jump up, giving an great entry point and immediate profit.
Many may feel uncertain, but we at Gold Forecaster are talking about in the present and next issue is what the picture going forward really is for the Investor in gold Silver and Platinum. We believe we are at one of the most important junctures the global market has ever seen and we mean currencies, credit markets, precious metal markets all thrown into the cooking pot of the global economy and we are excited!
The Joy and Benefits of a Fall in the Gold Price

June 5 World Environment Day: climate criminal Australia & US have 2 to 5 years to cease GHG pollution
by : Dr Gideon Polya
Sunday June 5, 2011 - 09:52
> Australia > Environment > Gideon Polya > USA
2 comments
June 5 is World Environment Day and around the World millions of decent folk have been participating in events demanding action on the worsening climate emergency. Put bluntly, unaddressed, man-made climate change is predicted to kill about 10 billion mostly non-European people or about 100 million people per year this century in what is described as a Climate Genocide. Already about 18 million people die avoidably each year from deprivation in the Developing World (minus China) and this is increasingly being impacted by global warming.
Both Dr James Lovelock FRS (Gaia hypothesis) and Professor Kevin Anderson ( Director, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester, UK) have recently estimated that fewer than 1 billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made global warming – noting that the world population is expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, these estimates translate to a climate genocide involving deaths of 10 billion people this century, this including 6 billion under-5 year old infants, 3 billion Muslims in a terminal Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3 billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis (see "Climate Genocide": https://sites.google.com/site/clima... ).
Several weeks ago the Australian Climate Commission, informed by an expert scientific advisory panel, published a very detailed report entitled "The Critical Decade" that set out the current state of climate science. The report made out the case for urgent action on climate change in the coming decade.
The Australian Climate Commission's report "The Critical Decade" adopted a budget approach to cessation of greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, stating that a 75% chance of the World avoiding a 2 degree Centigrade temperature rise (EU policy) means progressive cessation of GHG pollution in the period 2010-2050 with emission of no more than 1 trillion tonnes more of CO2 (carbon dioxide). Assuming an average world population in 2030 of about 8 billion people, this GHG pollution budget is 1,000 billion tonnes CO2/ 8 billion people = 125 tonnes CO2 per person (see Climate Commission, "The Critical Decade", 2011: http://climatecommission.gov.au/top... ).
Of crucial importance is the share of this 1 trillion carbon pollution budget for each country and, based on current greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution rates, how much time each country has before it must achieve zero emissions, this assuming of course that "all men are created equal" and that all countries consequently have equal per capita GHG pollution shares in the period 2010-2050.
Thus Australia has a population of 22 million people and accordingly its share of this terminal GHG pollution budget of 1 million million tonnes of CO2 is 125 tonnes CO2 per person x 22 million persons = 2,750 million tonnes (Mt) CO2.
In 2009 Australia's GHG pollution was 600 Mt CO2-e (CO2 equivalent i.e. total greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution including that from GHGs such as methane and nitrous oxide and expressed as CO2-equivalent) and at that rate Australia will use up its share of the 2010-2050 global GHG pollution budget in 2,750 Mt /(600 Mt per year) = 4.6 years i.e. by mid-2015 .
However in 2009 Australia's Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution was 600 (Domestic) + 784 (coal exports) + 31 (LNG exports) = 1,415 Mt CO2-e, this leaving only 2,750/1,415 = 1.9 years for Australia to get to zero (0) GHG pollution i.e. by mid- 2012 and about 1.5 years before the Gillard Labor Government must face the electorate in a Federal election.
Unfortunately both the Australian Liberal –National Party Coalition Opposition and the Australian Labor Government (collectively known as the Lib-Labs) have a policy of "5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020" in relation to Domestic GHG pollution. Australia's greenhouse gas production in CO2-e in 2000 was 535.3 million tonnes (Mt) according to "Greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized countries. Where does Australia stand?" by Hal Turton (Discussion Paper 66, The Australia Institute, June 2004). This means that the Australian Lib-Labs (who have a combined primary electoral support of about 80% in Australia's compulsory, preferential voting system) have a target of 0.95 x 535.3 Mt = 509 Mt CO2-e of Domestic GHG pollution each year by 2020 (but remember that Australia should have achieved zero GHG pollution by the end of 2014 if "all men are created equal").
However, when we consider Australia Exported GHG pollution the inequity becomes much, much worse. Thus the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) has projected that Australia's black coal export will increase at an average rate of 2.4% per year over the next 20 years and that liquid natural gas (LNG) exports will increase at 9% per year over the same period. Further, it is estimated that Australian exports of dried brown coal will reach 20 Mt by 2020, this corresponding to about 59 Mt CO2-e after combustion.
Accordingly, by 2020 and based on Lib-Lab promises and ABARE projections, Australian Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution will 509 Mt CO2-e (Domestic) + 1,018 Mt CO2-e (coal exports) + 80 Mt CO2-e (LNG exports) + 59 Mt CO2-e (brown coal exports) = 1,666 Mt CO2-e i.e. 118% of that in 2009.
Thus Australian policy flies in the face of science and "all men are created equal" which demand that Australia should cease pollution at current rates by late 2012. Instead Australia officially projects to increase its annual pollution by 2020 by about 18%.
Indeed this situation is even worse because the Gillard Labor Government has proposed a Carbon Tax- ETS-Ignore Agriculture (CTETSIA) plan to "tackle climate change" that is actually set to further increase GHG pollution. Thus Australia Government climate economist Professor Ross Garnaut and the Australian Government explicitly project a coal to gas transition for electricity generation (the 2011 Garnaut Report, Part 3, Chapter 11, Electricity transformation). However methane (85% of natural gas) leaks (circa 3.3%) and is 105 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) as a greenhouse gas (GHG) on a 20 year timeframe and including aerosol impacts, this meaning that a coal to gas transition will actually double electricity generation GHG pollution. The ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) approach is empirically unsuccessful, disastrously counterproductive and inherently fraudulent (the Australian Government has no right to sell licences to pollute the one common atmosphere of all countries of the World). To ignore agriculture means ignoring over 50% of the GHG problem (according to a recent World Bank report, man-made GHG pollution is 50% bigger than hitherto thought and livestock contributes over 51% of the bigger figure).
From a conservative perspective, Australian greed politics and greed economics is based on mindless population growth (about 2.1% annually in 2009) and hence a more realistic assessment of Australia's Domestic GHG pollution on this projection by 2020 is 754 Mt CO2-e and accordingly Australia's Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution in 2020 is likely to be 754 Mt (Domestic GHG) + 1,018 Mt (coal exports) + 80 Mt (LNG exports) + 59 (brown coal exports) = 1,911 Mt CO2-e i.e. 135% of that in 2009 (but remember that Australia should achieved zero GHG pollution by the end of 2014 if "all men are created equal").
It is quite apparent that a greedy, racist (euphemistically "exceptionalist") Australia has overwhelming, bipartisan, Lib-Lab agreement that it will increase its Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution by 35% by 2020 whereas the Australian Climate Commission is in effect saying that on current rates of GHG pollution Australia must actually decrease its annual rate of GHG pollution to zero (0) by mid-2012, assuming that "all men are created equal".
While Australia has 1.9 years at current rates to achieve zero GHG pollution (i.e. by mid-2012, the end of the 2011/12 financial year) how does this compare with other countries?
"Annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution" in units of "tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year" (2005-2008 data) is 0.9 (Bangladesh), 0.9 (Pakistan), 2.2 (India), less than 3 (many African and Island countries), 3.2 (the Developing World), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 16 (the Developed World), 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia's huge Exported CO2 pollution is included) (see "Climate Genocide": https://sites.google.com/site/clima...).
The US (2008 population 302 million) generated 6,946 Tg CO2-e = 6,946 Mt CO2-e in 2008 for a per capita of 6,946 Mt/301 M = 23.1 Mt CO2-e per person per year. The US share of the 1 trillion tonnes CO2 budget is 301 million x 125 t CO2/person = 37, 625 Mt CO2 which gives the US 37,625/6.946 = 5.4 years to get to zero emissions i.e. by the end of 2015.
In contrast, China (2005 population 1,322 million; 2005 GHG per capita 5.5 tonnes CO2-e per person per year; annual GHG pollution 7,271 Mt CO2-e ) has 1,322 million people x 125 tonnes per person = 165,250 Mt of the CO2 budget and 165,250 Mt CO2-e / 7,271 Mt CO2-e per year = 22.7 years to get to zero.
Bangladesh (2005 population 153 million; 2005 GHG per capita 0.9 tonnes CO2-e per person per year; annual GHG pollution 137.7 Mt CO2-e) has 153 million people x 125 tonnes per person = 19, 125 Mt of the CO2 budget and 19,125 Mt CO2-e/ 137.7 Mt CO2-e per year = 138.9 years to get to zero (0) emissions.
The World is badly running out of time to deal with man- made climate change and a worsening Climate Genocide that will kill about 10 billion mostly non-Europeans this century due to unaddressed , man-made climate change. The recent estimate from the Australian Climate Commission's "The Critical Decade" report is that the World can emit no more than 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 over the 2010-2050 period if it is to have a 75% chance of avoiding a catastrophic 2 degree Centigrade temperature rise. Based on current GHG pollution, Australia, a world leader in annual per capita GHG pollution and in coal and LNG exports, has 1.9 years to get to zero emissions, the US 5.4 years, China 22.7 years and Bangladesh 139 years.
Yet, political rhetoric aside, Australia is set on a course of increasing its present annual GHG pollution 35% by 2020. The US is similarly committed to greedy, amoral and racist Business As Usual (BAU). The World must deal firmly with a climate criminal, climate racist, exceptionalist Australia and US that under politically dominant, extreme right wing, neocon administrations are grossly violating climate justice and intergenerational justice by threatening the basic right to a decent life of future Australian and American generations and the right to life of all peoples and all species.
Sanctions worked against a greedy, racist, US-, Australia- and Apartheoid Israel-backed Apartheid South Africa and should also work against a United States and Australia that are greedily, disproportionately and murderously violating the common atmosphere of all Humanity. Sensible political debate on the issue has stalled in both Australia and the US.
Accordingly, the World must take action to bring dog-in-the-manger Australia and the US to heel through Boycotts, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS), sporting exclusions, International Court of Justice litigations and prosecutions of climate criminal, climate genocidal Australia and the US before the International Criminal Court.

By Emil Danielyan
The controversial Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Commission (TARC) held what some of its members say was a "very positive" meeting in Istanbul late last week amid some indications that the Turkish government is considering lifting its decade-long economic blockade of Armenia.
According to Armenian members of the U.S.-sponsored panel of retired government officials, political experts and scholars, the TARC reaffirmed its support for the reopening of the Turkish-Armenian border.
"The TARC wants the border to be open," one of them, Van Krikorian, told RFE/RL over the weekend. "And we want to continue to increase various-level contacts between the two countries."
The low-key meeting came just two days after talks in Spain on June 3 between the Armenian and Turkish foreign ministers — the first high-level contact between official Yerevan and the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. A statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry said Vartan Oskanian and Abdullah Gul agreed that improved bilateral ties "will reflect positively on the establishment of stability and security in the region." But it did not specify whether Ankara remains adamant in linking their normalization to the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh.
One well-placed Armenian source told RFE/RL that Ankara is facing growing domestic calls and U.S. pressure to open the border and might eventually agree to do that without establishing diplomatic relations with Yerevan. "They now treat the two as separate issues," the source claimed.
A senior Turkish member of the private Turkish-Armenian Business Council, Noyan Soyak, was quoted in the Armenian media as saying that the border, sealed at the height of the Karabakh war in 1993, could soon be reopened for travel and commerce.
Krikorian, for his part, said that prospects for a Turkish-Armenian rapprochement have brightened in recent months. "We really see opportunities to normalize the relations," he said. "Mutual understanding between the two countries is developing."
Another Armenian member of the TARC, retired diplomat David Hovannisian, agreed, saying that the existing situation bodes well for the resumption of cross-border commerce. "The TARC was very happy that the foreign ministers met," he said.
Both men would not say if the ten-member commission had any role in the holding of the Gul-Oskanian meeting. The TARC was apparently involved in arranging such contacts in the past.
Improving the historically strained Turkish-Armenian relations is a major goal of U.S. policy on the region. A recent report by the U.S. State Department said Washington "continues to press the Government of Turkey at every appropriate opportunity" to lift the blockade. It said Secretary of State Colin Powell raised the issue during a visit to Ankara in April.
The TARC's creation two years ago was seen as part of a broader U.S. effort to promote Turkish-Armenian dialogue. The panel chaired by David Phillips, a U.S. scholar and State Department adviser, is treated with suspicion in Armenia and its Diaspora where some political groups claim that the initiative is used by the Turks to scuttle international recognition of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
The genocide issue has been discussed by the commission, prompting serious disagreements between its four Armenian and six Turkish members. Those led to a one-year suspension of its activities in late 2001. The two sides overcame the deadlock after jointly requesting an independent analysis of the bloody events. The study, conducted by the New York-based the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) this January, concluded that the mass killings and deportations of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire constitute a genocide.
It was the second TARC meeting held this year. Krikorian revealed that it followed the resignation of three of its Turkish members: former top diplomats Gunduz Aktan and Ozdem Sanberk as well as Sadi Ergudenc, a retired army general. They were replaced by two senior scholars, Sule Kut of Bilgi University and Ahmet Evin of Sabanci University in Istanbul. The Turkish side did not officially announce any motives for the reshuffle.
Krikorian also said that the TARC's activities will now be coordinated by two U.S. facilitators, Phillips and Joseph Montville. A former diplomat, Montville runs a program on preventive diplomacy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a leading Washington-based think tank. He is also known as the author of the concept of "track two diplomacy," which attaches great importance to direct contacts between civil society representatives in the resolution of inter-state disputes.
As part of its work, the TARC has indirectly promoted meetings and joint projects between Turkish and Armenian politicians, public figures, journalists and non-governmental organizations. The contacts appear to have been financed, at least partly, by the U.S. government.
In Krikorian's words, the TARC members agreed in Istanbul to "intensify track two efforts at normalizing the Turkish-Armenian relations."

What to Do in Dallas Tonight: July 19
This being a Monday in July, we know you may be tempted to spend your off hours planted on the couch in your boxers lapping up sherbet and plotting how you'll spend your lottery winnings while the Weather Channel softly drones in the background. Man, you're lazy.
Here's a better use of your time: learning the basics of triathlon training at REI Dallas on LBJ. Your lecture leader will teach you how to pick a race, how long you can expect to train, what you should wear, etc. The beauty of this plan is that you don't even have to break a sweat to feel superior to the slothful majority. You just have to show up!
Reward your obvious commitment to physical fitness with a cup of seasonal frozen yogurt at Pinkberry, or linger over a dish of gelato and a cup of tea at Natsumi. We bet you'll be glad you didn't waste your night watching House reruns again.

My desktop suddenly became unstable. For no apparent reason the screen would go black at random intervals and the machine would become unresponsive. Sometimes system level error messages would appear about OS or hard drive failures but they didn't seem to have any context or make any sense.
I am not a software or hardware expert, but years of tinkering have given me some instincts about this kind of thing and somehow these problems did not 'feel' like what the error messages were telling me.
Not having any better ideas, I decided to give things a good clean. I duct-taped a straw to a vaccum cleaner attachment and sucked out all the accumulated dust. The motherboard wasn't actually too bad but the graphics card and some other bits were pretty dirty. I then unplugged and re-seated the cards and memory chips.
Problem solved! The computer has been working fine for the past days so it looks like I cured it. I mention this for the benefit of anyone like me who may dismiss a little dust as not being all that important.

MLB.com At Bat 11 Takes App Stores By Storm
by Steve Smith on Feb 28, 11:45 AM
Digital veterans may recall that across the history of online media, sports publishers tended to be on the leading edge of Web technology. Driven by a passionate audience for whom more is always more when it comes to content, companies like ESPN stayed out in front when it came to pouring video online. Fantasy sports providers have always been among the most successful paid content winners. And niche players like The Sporting News were among the first to marry online community and content to the best effect. And so when it comes to mobile media it is not surprising that ...

He's Random, He's Creepy, He's a Guy
by Steve Smith on Feb 25, 12:37 PM
If you are going to make a Web series that spins off a fun bit of random silliness online, then there really is only one way to go with it. Make the premise about a couple of guys who create a random bit of online silliness. RandomCreepyGuy.com made a business out of featuring the kinds of personal photos everyone has, where some offbeat oddball ends up in the shot. The taxi driver in Vegas. The guy who gave us directions in Cleveland. That dude (you know who I'm talking about) who knew the guy who got us the tickets to ...

Break Media Breaks Out Five Spring Series
by Steve Smith on Feb 24, 12:22 PM
I am not sure there is any seasonality to online programming, but spring is as good a time as any for new digital content. Perhaps in tune with Spring Break, Break Media rolled out a slate of Web series it will be launching in coming weeks. All of the content is decidedly skewed to the young male audience. Now that the lad mags like Maxim are in decline, someone has to serve this demo offbeat humor, rugged weirdness and the usual wink-and-a-nod guy guidance.

Amazon Proves Price Is Not Always Right
by Steve Smith on Feb 23, 12:54 PM
Odd as it sounds, the one thing Amazon, the world's leading e-retailer, needs is a better online shopping experience. For digital media, that is. The company rolled out its Instant Videos service for Amazon Prime premium members yesterday and once again called attention to how ill-suited its online store is for browsing downloadable media.

SpotXchange Hopes to OTTO-mate Video Ad Optimization
by Steve Smith on Feb 22, 11:56 AM
Optimizing video ad campaigns effectively lifts key performance metrics, but even when experienced humans do it manually some inefficiencies are inevitable. Ad marketplace SpotXchange boasts that its new automated optimization engine, cleverly named OTTO, is already showing that a well-tuned robot works wonders in a new age of real-time bidding where nano-second decisions are required to serve highly individualized impressions. OTTO watches campaigns and learns from past performances for a specific placement, a certain publisher or even a segment. It learns for other campaigns and then from real time feedback from the currently running campaign.

Video Lessons From the Age of Monopoly
by Steve Smith on Feb 21, 10:17 AM
Every elementary school student of the 1960s coveted those moments when the metal venetian blinds went down, the screen lowered over the smudge-ridden blackboard, and that massive Bell & Howell 16 millimeter projector was wheeled in by the AV dweeb to the middle of the room. Lesson-weary and restless, we finally got a lean-back visual moment - a class period eaten up by a film. If you were really lucky, it was the twentieth showing of "Donald in Mathemagic Land" or the Capra-directed "Our Mr. Sun." This was an early pre-branded entertainment variety of corporate video we might call "branducation." ...

Content Size Matters in Video Ad Attention Spans
by Steve Smith on Feb 18, 1:37 PM
Size matters, but not in the ways you might think for video advertising. First, the fast expansion of video inventory is not driving down pricing. Both video ad volumes and prices are increasing pretty much in tandem through 2010, reports FreeWheel in its quarterly Video Monetization Report. Indexed against the full year of video pre-roll ads served through its system, the company found that video ad views grew 20 points through 2010 while CPMs were up 19 points on an index basis. FreeWheel data included 23 billion video views in 2010 and 13 billion ad views. The number of pre-roll ...

Analysts: Internet TV Riding a "Megatrend" But Infrastructure is the Sure Winner
by Steve Smith on Feb 17, 12:00 PM
Investors have some reason to be skeptical of the digerati's persistent claim that Internet-based and distributed video content really has arrived. After all, there were many false starts -- from Web TV to Pseudo TV, TheDen to Entertaindom TV. And dare we say "Joost?" And even now, TV content at Hulu and the network sites tends to suck attention away from the video hubs and "digital studios" that continue to compete with YouTube and others for ad dollars. For the big money on Wall Street it is hard to know where to place bets. But one investment group that controls ...

Keep It Cheap, Stupid: Psychology of the Pirate
by Steve Smith on Feb 16, 11:45 AM
Despite the proliferation of paid media models, online piracy of copyrighted materials will continue, according to a new report from PwC. In its survey of 202 people who admit to downloading pirated media, the company found that of course the chief motivator is price, supported by their perception that "everyone is doing it." Curiously, PwC found that the many ad-supported sources of free media might be contributing to the legitimization of piracy because they blur the line between legitimate and illegally obtained copyrighted material.

Videos: The Game...or...Wow, You Really Don't Know Jack!
by Steve Smith on Feb 15, 1:03 PM
I knew I was getting in over my head when the video quiz at Dailymotion started asking me which classical music riff was heard throughout Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. Or when it asked me to ID the ten second clip of a French film only an NYU film school graduate might remember. I thought I was a movie buff, but it turns out I don't know Jack.

The online employer branding agency
Steam and ABN AMRO have been collaborating on the bank's employer branding for years, its employer brand developing alongside its 'marketing' brand ABN AMRO. The bank's employer image has now changed from a highly ambitious, character-driven company to that of an employer that can steer the careers of its newcomers in any number of directions. This progress clearly shows in all the different campaigns, held together by the notion of ABN AMRO as a consistently modern organization.

Give Mom a Cookie
A tribute to anyone who could use a good treat--by Tanya Hanamaikai
Monday, February 7, 2011
Cuz Mom Needs Tools Too
When Husband walked through the front door, the box and panels of Styrofoam strewn on the floor proved that the vacuum cleaner standing in the middle of the living room was brand new.
He called, "What is that?"
Mom shouted her reply as she climbed the stairs to put baby down for his nap, "Isn't it awesome? I got it on clearance. $200 instead of 3!"
Husband's briefcase fell from his hands as he shut his eyes and mouthed the words, TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS? He quickly examined the handle for the embedded diamonds, the canister for the self-cleaning button, the USB chord that would allow you to download your favorite iTunes to play while you worked, but as far as he could see, the paycheck guzzler looked as plain and basic as the vacuum his mother had—except this one paraded colors that could blind a hawk. He read the labels still decorating the exterior. It only promised to do what every other vacuum promises to do…SUCK.
Mom pranced into the living room, clearly still on her bargain high. "I couldn't believe it when I found it."
Husband decided not to start any debates with himself about whether or not to say what he was thinking: "Don't you already have like 4 other vacuums?"
A moment of silence preceded the lecture.
"I have a sweeper for the kitchen, a canister vac for the cars and now I can demote your mother's heirloom to the basement just for the throw rugs that are down there. The new vacuum will eat those right up."
"I just don't understand why you need so many vacuums when they essentially all do the same thing. Especially not for another $200."
Her glare could have made Mike Tyson whimper, and he winced as she began disassembling the vacuum to repackage it.
"Honey. If you think you need it you can keep it. I'm sorry." Without another word, she dropped the Styrofoam and left the room.
That Saturday, Husband looked forward to releasing his work stress. He was going to put tools in his hands and fix something. Whistling like the eighth dwarf, he strutted through the garage to his tool shed and opened a cabinet to choose his best hammer to finally get all the family pictures hung on the living room wall.
His jaw dropped when only a single 16-lb sledge hammer with a 36" hickory handle, which he used once to bust out the old cement stairs of the front porch last summer, stood propped on the shelf with an index card:
"Couldn't understand why you needed so many hammers when they all essentially do the same thing."

Grab the Phone--Mom's Sick!
The alarm blares, and Mom keeps her eyes shut as she registers her condition. Head pounding, breath compromised, stomach creeping into places it doesn't belong.
She pops upright in her bed and shoves her husband's shoulder.
"Get up, honey, and grab the phone. I'm sick!
"First, call a chauffeur so the kids can get to school, soccer practice, karate, and violin.
"No wait—first you'll need the stylist to get everyone dressed and hair combed. So call her first, then the chauffer.
"Dial a substitute preschool teacher to practice colors and letter sounds with the three year old throughout the day. Since the teacher will be busy with her, a babysitter can take care of the toddler. Her number's seventh on the list, I think. Make sure to find the pediatrician's number and program it into speed dial, just in case someone gets hurt or starts coughing.
"Someone call the back-up chef for meals and the baker for snacks. I almost forgot the janitor—a janitor to keep the floor clear of toys, shoes, backpacks and papers. Might as well find a substitute dishwasher and laundry person to ease the burden."
She pulls a tissue from the nightstand and brings it to her nose. After a wipe and a sniffle she pauses for a minute, eyes staring at the ceiling. "Okay, I think that will take care of everything."
"But dear—"
"No wait! You're also going to need an etiquette specialist to make sure the kids mind their manners. And a tutor to help everyone with their homework. I think it'd be a good idea to also find a mediator to settle all the arguments and tantrums.
"An actor to properly read stories, a coach to organize and play games, a planner to jot everything down that doesn't get done today that will need to be done tomorrow."
She relaxes, and her head almost makes it to the headboard before she straightens again. "And a courier or a delivery person or something—anyone who can be trusted to make a run to the grocery store for things we're running low on."
She takes a deep, nose-clogged breath and pulls the blankets to her chin. Now she's pretty sure everything is covered for the day. Her husband leans across the bed, kisses her cheek and gazes into her eyes. Mom smiles, but anxiety ticks at her nerves.
"You should hurry. You have calls to make."
"But sweetheart," her husband whispers. "It's Saturday. I'll be home. I can take care of everything."
Laughter triggers a coughing fit, and she wraps her arms around her man. Grateful for his confidence, she leans back and cups his face in her hands.
"In that case, you can leave out the call to the chauffeur."

When You Give a Mom a Moment
Because Mom is always the first one with her eyes open (whether it's hours or minutes before the house will be awake) she relishes a moment where her thoughts are the only sounds in her head. But as her vision adapts to the darkness, reality surrounds her just as it did before she dreamt and in her stolen moment, she rolls onto her back and slides an arm across her brow to think:
Can I really do this again?
That's all she gets before the door interrupts the silence with a creaky groan, and Mom turns to watch a dark and lumpy apparition toddle to the bedside--blanket rags tucked under a nose buried behind sleep disheveled hair. The shadow clambers onto the mattress and claims her territory with the words:
"I have a bad dream."
The child's tiny bump nestles and kneads itself over Mom's womb, and a sigh escapes before daughter drifts into comforted sleep.
Mom reaches to wrap her fingers around the soft skin stretched over pudgy toes, and a smile escapes as she closes her eyes before another day.

When You Give a Mom a Cookie
But she will see dust and pet hair coating the rug, and she can't lay the baby on that mess. Motherly obligation calls her to vacuum the carpet first.
So she will cradle baby with one arm and haul the vacuum down the stairs, only to realize that it isn't going to do a very good job with a filter that looks worthy of an ancient artifacts museum…
She will set the baby in his swing, which he will hate, and run to wash the vacuum filter.
But at the sink she will discover an army of breakfast dishes staking their claim under the faucet and daring her to bathe them in mucky filter runoff.
Her shoulders will sag, signaling surrender, and she will wash the dishes—which first requires emptying the dishwasher.
This she can finally do.
The filter will wait on the counter, and the baby will cry while mom empties the dishwasher, so she can wash the dishes, so she can wash the vacuum filter, so she can vacuum the rug, so she can put the baby down to play with toys and finally have some peace while she enjoys her cookie.
The dishes will be clean, the vacuum will be clean, the rug will be clean, and the baby will poop.
So next mom will tuck baby under her arm and carry him upstairs to change his diaper. But he will also need a change of clothes because baby stuff doesn't always like to stay inside the diaper, no matter how new it is.
Once the baby is changed, his clothes will need to be scrubbed out because no one likes a stain. Then mom will figure that she may as well throw the rest of the baby's laundry into the washing machine since it has already been waiting for over a week.
But when she gets to the laundry room she will discover the load that she put in yesterday afternoon. Now it stinks worse than the diaper she just changed and has to be washed again. She will know that she needs to empty the dryer so that it will be ready when the clothes finish washing.
Ten shirts, four jeans, and five pairs of socks later (three without matches), the baby will be hungry.
So mom will feed the baby.
The baby will fall asleep.
So will mom.
And the dog will steal the cookie.

All clients who train at our studio are required to start with the initial consultation & assessment. You can book this by calling 403-617-3362 or emailing email@example.com. Christina, the owner and head trainer, sees the value in meeting with each new client personally before they commence training. In order for your experience and results at 2 The Core to be the best we can possibly make them, it is crucial for us to get to know you individually and go through a detailed physical assessment.

- Cardiovascular endurance
- Whether diastasis recti (ab separation) is present
- Whether certain muscles are weak and/or tight and explain how to strengthen and/or loosen them up
- Whether there are muscle imbalances and address how this can be corrected
- If there are any signs of pelvic floor dysfunction or other orthopedic concerns
You and Christina will go through the INTAKE FORMS (please click on the link to download these forms, print & fill them out if you can), set health & fitness goals, and come up with a periodized plan on how to reach those goals safely and efficiently.
From there, we will determine together which type of training is best suited for you, your schedule and your budget. The cost for this consultation and training session is $75 plus tax.
Next step: Choosing your type of training
At 2 The Core, we keep our prices significantly lower than other specialized trainers. Our goal is for as many people as possible to be able to afford our services. We do this by keeping our overhead costs low, advertising mostly through word of mouth, and staying very organized.

Rarely am I at a loss for words, but 'What line of work are you in?' or 'What do you do?' always stump me. First, I spent some time thinking about how I should answer that question and had trouble summing it up into an elevator-pitch-sized sentence. Then, I started removing those type of phrases from my repertoire of ice breakers at parties or networking events and hoping people would not ask me that.
One of my hesitations in answering usually stems from the fact that I have always had multiple jobs at the same time. This week, I dabbled in real estate, did some teaching, and developed websites. While I could just pick a profession and answer it very simply and omit my other jobs, it makes me feel like I am not being truthful if they somehow see me working in that other profession. It is a silly fear and easily explainable, but I don't want to mislead my new acquaintance or bore them with my complex resume.
After additional reflection, I learned the biggest hesitation in answering the question about what I do for a living is that I don't want my job to define me. It was something I learned a few years ago after I had changed industries. For the previous decade, I had built a business that was named after me and was very involved in the operations. Everyone knew me as Cuda, the audio/video guy. I was proud of the business and was proud to be in that industry. However, when I left that industry and sold the business it was like I had sold my identity. I suspect it is similar to how people feel after they retire or get laid off.
So, in a effort to shift the conversation away from what I do for a living; I try to use other ice-breakers that steer the conversations to an area I am more comfortable discussing.
Here is one:
- What ice-breaker do you hope people don't ask you at parties and why?
