The only place I see categories is in the dashboard.
No categories using the "W" menu new post in the gray admin bar.
No categories using the menu that appears when you mouseover the blog name and get the menu with new post.
No categories using the 'new post' on the righthand side of the gray admin bar.
[the blog this is on is private - using the Reddle theme if that makes any difference]
The blog linked to your username is "private". As we cannot see it that places us Volunteers in the unenviable position of speculating as to what you have done and how to correct it. If you change your blog privacy setting to option 2 described here I will help you.

Note: There is no data to display until there is one published post in each category.
2. How to assign categories to posts in the category module > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#adding-categories-with-the-categories-module
Yes, I've already created categories in the dashboard and am aware that if there aren't posts for the category, it won't show up in the categories list.
Yes, I know how to select the category for posts.....what I'm saying is the option to select the category only shows up in the dashboard.
The option to select a category for the new post doesn't show up when using the "W" menu 'new post' link.
The option to select a category for the new post doesn't show up when using the menu that appears when you mouseover the blog name next to the "W".
The option to select a category doesn't show up when using the "new post" on the right side of the gray admin bar.
If you still need it to be not private to help, let me know.
Like my first post said.....like on this page http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/
showing how to create new posts - there's no categories list there to assign the post to a category.
The option to select a category for the new post doesn't show up when using the "W" menu 'new post' link.
The "New Post" ie. Quick Post" link on the home page of WordPress.com is for Asides. Asides do not have titles and they cannot have categories assigned to them.
Did you notice the words inside the editor on the WordPress.com home page under "New Post"? "Title optional"
A Post Format is an option that changes the way posts are displayed when viewing either the front page of your blog, or an archive of specific posts. ...
Aside – These are brief snippets of text that aren't quite whole blog posts. Useful for quick thoughts and anecdotes http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-formats/
I never ever that "New Post" on the main page of WordPress.com. I log-in to my own mlog and I use the Add Post in my own blog so I can create full posts using the fully equppied editor. If you want to do that too then click this link > http://b797.wordpress.com/post-new.php
So all the 'shortcut' links to add a new post -- none of them have the option of selecting the category for the new post?
I tried the post-new.php link and get
"Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."
If the only place to select categories is the dashboard, we'll just use the dashboard.
> Dashboard > view the far left hand side column and hover over "Posts"
a flyout menu will appear click "Add New" and proceed.
Don't know what you mean by ""New Post" on the main page of WordPress.com". I'm logged in to my blog and talking about the gray admin bar that's stationary at the top of the screen.
The Screen Options pull down tab is located in the upper right corner of your Dashboard. It can be used to show/hide modules on some screens and show/hide columns on other screens. When you click on Screen Options, it will drop down an area with a list of the different things you can show or hide. You need to "unhide" Categories http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/#list-of-modules
Ok, I give up. Mine only has this:
Show on screen
right now -- recent comments -- your stuff -- what's hot -- quickPress - recent drafts -- stats
Aren't these for what shows up on the pages anyway? The categories are already showing on the right column. Just not when you go to add a new post.
Thanks for your help!
You will have to contact Staff by using the Help button on the top right hand corner of your Admin page.
To go to your dashboard, you will have to hover over your username on the upper right corner and chose [Edit my Profile], then select [Posts > New Post] from the left menu.
Or go to [http:// {yourdomain} .wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php]. An Extended Post editor will appear there.
Still I wish there was a way to display the Full Editor on the front page. Is really annoying to have to fish for it, since clicking the [New Post] links will only redirect to [http://wordpress.com/#!/post/] which has a quick Post form with no Categories options.
Exactly! To me the shortcuts are worthless if they don't let you select the category but oh well.

Comcast is raising rates on cable-television and high-speed Internet services in Colorado by an average of 4.6 percent.
The hikes, effective Jan. 1, will generally add $2 to $3 a month to many of the company's more popular packages, now marketed under the Xfinity brand.
For example, the monthly rate on the company's digital starter cable-TV package will increase 5 percent from $57.99 to $60.99.
Stand-alone broadband service with top download speeds of 12 megabits per second will increase from $54.95 a month to $59.95. The monthly high-definition service charge will jump from $8 to $10.
Comcast attributed the rate changes to the higher licensing fees it has to pay to programmers for their content and investments the company is making in new technology.
"In today's challenging economic environment, Comcast, like many other companies, is continuing to experience increased costs, including rising programming expenses," said Comcast spokeswoman Cindy Parsons. "We'll continue to add value by increasing the amount of content and channels and increasing Internet speeds as well as making technology and service improvements."
Comcast is the largest cable-TV provider in the U.S. and Colorado, with 22.9 million subscribers nationwide and 840,000 in the state.
The Philadelphia-based company raised rates in Colorado by an average of 2.8 percent last January. It also increased fees on equipment rentals and installation services this year.
Subscribers who are locked into promotional packages — which Parsons said represents more than half of the company's subscriber base — will not be affected by the latest rate hike until their discounted pricing period ends.
Comcast is lowering fees on some services, such as its stand-alone super-fast Internet service with top download speeds of 50 megabits per second, which drops from $116.95 a month to $114.95. The rate on the company's stand-alone Digital Economy TV package falls from $39.95 to $29.95.
Satellite-TV providers DirecTV and Dish Network have also boosted rates on some services this year. Douglas County-based Dish said it raised prices in June on two higher-tiered packages, with rates on America's Top 200 increasing from $52.99 to $54.99 and America's Top 250 increasing from $62.99 to $64.99.
The company maintained pricing on other offerings, including its most popular package, America's Top 120.
"We have worked hard to minimize the impact of any changes to existing customer bills," Dish spokeswoman Francie Bauer said.

Yo Ho Ho! I think I'm finally feeling the Christmas spirit. Or it could be that I can finally relax now that I've got all the presents. Note to me: next year get all your presents in November. If there is a worse place to be 3 days before Christmas than the Trafford Centre then I don't want to even think about it ;-)
We took Abby to the Stockport plaza yesterday to see Cinderella with Lisa Riley and some unidentified people who may or may not have been from Hollyoakes. It was alright, but it wasn't very faithful to the original story that Abby knows so well, and the guy who plays buttons wasn't as good as Stu Francis who was in a lot of the pantomimes I saw when I was a kid. Anyway, Abby enjoyed it although she did spend most of the performence with her hands over her ears (all the kids were booing and shouting a bit too loudly for her)
Oh yes, and the Christmas tree is now finally up after the holiday delayed it. We (ashamedly) had it delivered after Abby had hand picked it in the garden center. Really, when the revolution comes, I will be first against the wall ;-)

Elon Musk May Have A Robot Up His Sleeve
A high-profile artificial intelligence research group backed by Elon Musk said it is developing a robot. OpenAI, which formed in December, said on Monday that it's working on creating an "off-the-shelf" robot that others can manufacture. The idea is to design a robot outside of a corporate umbrella as a way to speed innovation without a financial motive. OpenAI is backed by Tesla tsla and SpaceX spacex CEO Elon Musk in addition to other high-profile technology executives and entrepreneurs, including LinkedIn lnkd co-founder Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman and Jessica Livingston from startup incubator Y Combinator, and PayPal pypl co-founder Peter Thiel.

She smiled at him today, not one of those fake smiles she puts on every time he's around and her friends are around but a genuine smile. His stomach does a flip-flop, he grins from ear to ear, there's a tinge of pink in his cheeks that he, somehow, could not prevent, and instantly he knows that his world has been lit up, once more.

The only way she could think of to protect herself is to build walls, to keep away the sadness and the strangers. Little did she know that by doing so, she is also keeping away the happiness...and ever so quickly her days turn from bad to the worst, maybe she should've never built the wall after all.

PrepLogic / Misleading advertising
JiJim Holloway
Contact information:
Refusal to honor a cancellation within 24 hours of placing an order and before the product was shipped after reading the contract was different that what I was told.
I was at the Prepogic web site, I hit the "Talk to advisor(or something like that) and was chatting with a person from Preplogic. He asked if he could call me to get this going faster since I had lots of questions. He called and he told me about the $99 program to try out their different courses for $99. The next day I signed up via their web site and the contract came back saying 6 payments of $189. So at that point I contacted Preplogic via their web question area, they said I could not cancel and get my $99 even though I was contacting them within 24 hours of the order(really it was less than 2 hours) and when I finally talked to a sales person Donnie I told him to cancel my order and he said okay but since I paid for it I might as well look at the info they have since I was already charged the $99 and that cannot be refunded. I checked out the info and then went on vacation and when I returned Preplogic had charged me $189. I called and they said I never cancelled. Lots of posted messages were posted on their question web site but they continued to REFUSE to refund my $189 but said they could reduce and change things. I said I wanted my $189 back because I cancelled with Donnie within the 1st 7 days and they said they had to record of the cancellation. I filled out a complaint with the BBB and sent a note to the President of Preplogic and am waiting to hear back from each. I have also called my Credit Card company and disputed this $189 charge. I told that to Preplogic and it seemed to upset them a bit and they advised me that they go for FULL charge $1600 if an order is disputed. So I am waiting to see what the President says. I am hoping he comes back and refunds the $189 as they should. I cancelled it within 24 hours and Preplogic just would not accept my cancel request. I have bought training from them in the past and was quite happy with the Quality of their product. It is a shame they have tainted my relationship with them

Building Web Reputation Systems- P12
Building Web Reputation Systems- P12:Today's Web is the product of over a billion hands and minds. Around the clock and around the globe, people are pumping out contributions small and large: full-length features on Vimeo, video shorts on YouTube, comments on Blogger, discussions on Yahoo! Groups, and tagged-and-titled Del.icio.us bookmarks. User-generated content and robust crowd participation have become the hallmarks of Web 2.0.

Nội dung Text: Building Web Reputation Systems- P12
- Figure 6-3. The value of ratings increases with the time value of the content being rated. Items with a great deal of persistence (such as real-world establishments like restaurants or businesses) make excellent candidates for reputation. Furthermore, it can be ap- propriate to ask users for more involved types of inputs for persistent items, because it's likely that other users will have a chance to benefit from the work that the com- munity puts into contributing content. Determining Inputs Now that you have a firm grasp of the objects in your system and you've elected a handful as reputable entities, the next step is to decide what's good and what's bad. How will you decide? What inputs will you feed into the system to be tabulated and rolled up to establish relative reputations among like objects? User Actions Make Good Inputs Now, instead of merely listing the objects that a user might interact with in your ap- plication, we'll enumerate all the actions that she might take in relation to those objects. Again, many actions will be obvious and visible right there in your application interface, as in Figure 6-4, so let's build on the audit that you performed earlier for objects. Explicit claims Explicit claims represent your community's voice and opinion. They operate through interface elements you provide that solicit users' opinions about an entity, good or bad. A fundamental difference exists between explicit claims and implicit ones (discussed below), which boils down to user intent and comprehension. With explicit claims, users should be fully aware that the action they're performing is intended as an expression of an opinion. That intent differs greatly from the ones for implicit claims, in which users mostly just go about their business, generating valuable reputation information as a side effect. Determining Inputs | 131
- Figure 6-4. Look at all of the actions users can perform on a YouTube video page. They include a rich mix of inputs with value as explicit claims and implicit claims (and some with no real reputation value). Provide a Primary Value If you present explicit inputs to your users as only that—a mechanism for generating reputation information to feed the system and make your site smarter—you may be inhibiting the community from providing inputs. You are likely to see more input sur- rendered if the contributors get some primary value from their contributions. The primary value can be big or small, but it probably will have some of the following characteristics: • It provides a benefit to the user for interacting with the system: a self-evident and recognizable benefit that users themselves obtain from interacting with a widget. Comments on Digg, for instance, are hidden for a particular user when she "Diggs [thumbs] them down." This is immediately useful to the user; it cleans up her display and makes the current thread easier to read. Likewise, the 5-star rating system in iTunes is surpassingly useful not because of any secondary or tertiary reputation benefits it may yield, but primarily because it offers a well-articulated and extremely flexible way to manage data. iTunes users can take advantage of stars to sort track listings, build smart playlists, and get recommendations from the iTunes Store. Star rating widgets in iTunes are full of primary value. 132 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- • It provides immediate and evident feedback. Unlike reputation effects that may not be immediately evident because they happen downstream, the system should provide some quick acknowledgment that the user has expressed a claim. This just happens to reinforce good user interface principles as well. (See "Latency Reduc- tion" in Bruce Tognazzini's First Principles of Interaction Design: http://www.asktog .com/basics/firstPrinciples.html.) Implicit claims Any time a user takes some action in relation to a reputation entity, it is very likely that you can derive valuable reputation information from that action. Recall the discussion of implicit and explicit reputation claims in "The Reputation Statement" on page 6. With implicit reputation claims, we watch not what the user says about the quality of an entity but how they interact with that object. For example, assume that a reputable entity in your system is a text article. You'll find valuable reputation information in the answers to the following questions: • Does the user read the article? To completion? • Does the user save the article for later use? — By bookmarking it? — By clipping it? • Does the user republish the article to a wider audience? — By sending it to a friend? — By publishing to a tweet-stream? — By embedding it on a blog? • Does the user copy or clone the article for use in writing another article? You can construct any number of smart, nuanced, and effective reputation models from relevant related action-type claims. Your only real limitation is the level and refinement of instrumentation in your application: are you prepared to capture relevant actions at the right junctures and generate reputation events to share with the system? Don't get too clever with implicit action claims, or you may unduly influence users' behavior. If you weigh implicit actions into the formu- lation of an object or a person's reputation and you make that fact known, you're likely to actually motivate users to take those actions arbitrarily. This is one of the reasons that many reputation-intensive sites are coy about revealing the types and weightings of claims in their systems. (See the section"Keep Your Barn Door Closed (but Expect Peeking)" on page 91.) Determining Inputs | 133
- But Other Types of Inputs Are Important, Too A reputation system doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's part of a bigger application, which itself is part of a bigger ecosystem of applications. Relevant inputs come from many sources other than those generated directly by user actions. Be sure to build, buy, or otherwise include them in your model where needed. Here are some common examples: • External trust databases — Spam IP blacklist. — Text scanning software that detects profanity or other abusive patterns. — Reputation from other applications in your ecosystem. • Social networking relationships — Relationships may be used to infer positive reputation by proxy. — In many cases, when surfacing an evaluation of a reputable object, relationship should be a primary search criterion: "Your brother recommends this camera." • Session data — Browser cookies are good for tracking additional metadata about user visits: is a user logged-out? Newly registered? Returning after some amount of time away? — Session cookies can be used to build up a reputation history. — Identity cookies allow various identities, browsers, and sessions to be linked together. • Asynchronous activations — Just-in-time inputs. Many reputation models are real-time systems in which rep- utations change constantly, even when users aren't providing any direct input. For example, a mail antispam reputation model for IP addresses could handle irregularly timed, asynchronous inputs about mail volume received over time from an address to allow the reputation to naturally reflect traffic. In this ex- ample, the volume of incoming email that isn't marked as spam would cause the IPs reputation to improve sporadically. — Time-activated inputs. Also called cron jobs (for the Unix tool cron that executes them), these often are used to start a reputation process as part of periodic maintenance; for example, a timer can trigger reputation scores to decay or expire. (For one benefit of calculating reputation on a time-delay, see "Decay and delay" on page 93.) Timers may be periodic or scheduled ad hoc by an application. — Customer care corrections and operator overrides. When things go wrong, some- one's got to fix it via a special input channel. This is a common reason that many reputation processes are required to be reversible. 134 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- Of course, the messages that each reputation process outputs also are potential inputs into other processes. Well-designed karma models don't usually take direct inputs at all—those processes always take place downstream from other processes that encode the understanding of the relationship between the objects and transform that code into a normalized score. Good Inputs Whether your system features explicit reputation claims, implicit ones, or a skillful combination of both, to maintain the quality of the inputs to the system, strive to follow the practices described next. Emphasize quality, not simple activity Don't continue to reward people or objects for performing the same action over and over; rather, try to single out events that indicate that the target of the claim is worth paying attention to. For instance, the act of bookmarking an article is probably a more significant event than a number of page views. Why? Because bookmarking something is a deliberate act—the user has assessed the object in question and decided that it's worth further action. Rate the thing, not the person The process of creating karma is subtly more complex and socially delicate than creating reputation for things. For a deeper explanation, see "Karma" on page 176. Yahoo! has a general community policy of soliciting explicit ratings input only for user-created content—never having users directly rate other users. This is a good practice for a number of reasons: • It keeps the focus of debate on the quality of the content an author produces, which is what's of value to your community (instead of on the quality of her character, which isn't). • It reduces ad hominem attacks and makes for a nicer culture within the community. Reward firsts, but not repetition It's often worthwhile to reward firsts for users in your system, perhaps rewarding the first user to "touch" an object (leave a review, comment on a story, or post a link). Or, conversely, you might reward a whole host of firsts for a single user (to encourage him to interact with a wide range of features, for instance). But once a first has been acknowledged, don't continue to reward users for more of the same. Determining Inputs | 135
- Pick events that are hard for users to replicate; this combats gaming of the system. But anticipate these patterns of behavior anyway, and build a way to deal with offenders into your system. Use the right scale for the job In "Ratings bias effects" on page 61, we discussed ratings distributions and why it's important to pay attention to them. If you're seeing data with poorly actionable dis- tributions (basically, data that doesn't tell you much), it's likely that you're asking for the wrong inputs. Pay attention to the context in which you're asking. For example, if interest in the object being rated is relatively low (perhaps it's official feed content from a staid, corporate source), 5-star ratings are probably overkill. Your users won't have such a wide range of opinions about the content that they'll need five stars to judge it. Match user expectations Ask for information in a way that's consistent and appropriate with how you're going to use it. For example, if your intent is to display the community average rating for a movie on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, it makes the most sense to ask users to enter movie ratings on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Of course, you can transform reputation scores and present them back to the community in different ways (see the sidebar "What Comes in Is Not What Goes Out" on page 151), but strive to do that only when it makes sense and in a way that doesn't confuse your users. Common Explicit Inputs In Chapter 7, we'll focus on displaying aggregated reputation, which is partly con- structed with the inputs we discuss here, and which has several output formats identical to the inputs (for example, 5 stars in, 5 stars out). But that symmetry exists only for a subset of inputs and an ever-smaller subset of the aggregated outputs. For example, an individual vote may be a yes or a no, but the result is a percentage of the total votes for each. In this chapter, we're discussing only claims on the input side—what does a user see when she takes an action that is sent to the reputation model and transformed into a claim? The following sections outline best practices for the use and deployment of the common explicit input types. The user experience implications of these patterns are also covered in more depth in Christian Crumlish and Erin Malone's Designing Social Interfaces (O'Reilly). 136 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- The ratings life cycle Before we dive into all the ways in which users might provide explicit feedback about objects in a system, think about the context in which users provide feedback. Remem- ber, this book is organized around the reputation information that users generate— usable metadata about objects and about other people. But users themselves have a different perspective, and their focus is often on other matters altogether (see Fig- ure 6-5). Feeding your reputation system is likely the last thing on their mind. Figure 6-5. Even though this flow is idealized, it amply demonstrates that the "simple" act of rating something is actually pretty complex. Given the other priorities, goals, and actions that your users might possibly be focused on at any given point during their interaction with your application, here are some good general guidelines for gathering explicit reputation inputs effectively. The interface design of reputation inputs. Your application's interface design can reinforce the presence of input mechanisms in several ways: • Place input mechanisms in comfortable and clear proximity to the target object that they modify. Don't expect users to find a ratings widget for that television episode when the widget is buried at the bottom of the page. (Or at least don't expect them to remember which episode it applies to…or why they should click it…or….) • Don't combine too many different rateable entities on a single screen. You may have perfectly compelling reasons to want users to rate a product, a manufacturer, and a merchant all from the same page—but don't expect them to do so consis- tently and without becoming confused. • Carefully strike a balance between the size and proportion of reputation-related mechanisms and any other (perhaps more important) actions that might apply to a reputable object. For example, in a shopping context, it's probably appropriate to make "Add to Cart" the predominant call to action and keep the Rate This button less noticeable—even much less noticeable. (Would you rather have a rating, or a sale?) • Make the presentation and formatting of your input mechanisms consistent. You may be tempted to try "fun" variations like making your ratings stars different Determining Inputs | 137
- colors in different product categories, or swapping in a little Santa for your thumb- up and thumb-down icons during the holidays. In a word: don't. Your users will have enough work in finding, learning, and coming to appreciate the benefits of interacting with your reputation inputs. Don't throw unnecessary variations in front of them. Stars, bars, and letter grades A number of different input mechanisms let users express an opinion about an object across a range of values. A very typical such mechanism is star ratings. Yahoo! Local (see Figure 6-6) allows users to rate business establishments on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Figure 6-6. Yahoo! design standards specify that the mechanism for entering your own rating must always look different from the mechanism for displaying the community average rating. Stars seem like a pretty straightforward mechanism, both for your users to consume (5-star rating systems seem to be everywhere, so users aren't unfamiliar with them) and for you, the system designer, to plan. Tread carefully, though. Here are some small behavioral and interaction "gotchas" to think about early, during the design phase. The schizophrenic nature of stars. Star ratings often are displayed back to users in a format very similar to the one in which they're gathered from users. That arrangement need not be the case—scores generated by stars can be transformed into any number of output formats for display—but as we noted earlier (see "Match user expecta- tions" on page 136), it's usually what is clearest to users. As the application designer, you should be wary, however, of making the input-form for stars match too closely their final display presentation. The temptation is strong to design one comprehensive widget that accomplishes both: displaying the current com- munity average rating for an object and accepting user input to cast their own vote. 138 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- Slick mouse-over effects or toggle switches that change the state of the widget are some attempts that we've seen, but this is tricky to pull off, and almost never done well. You'll either end up with a widget that does a poor job at displaying the community average or one that doesn't present a very strong call to action. The solution that's most typically used at Yahoo! is to separate these two functions into two entirely different widgets and present them side by side on the page. The widgets are even color-coded to keep their intended uses straight. On Yahoo!, red stars are typically read-only (you can't interact with them) and always reflect the community average rating for an entity, whereas yellow stars reflect the rating that you as a user entered (or, alternately, empty yellow stars wait eagerly to record your rating). From a design standpoint, the distinction does introduce additional interactive and visual complexity to any component that displays ratings, but the increase in clarity more than compensates for any additional clutter. Do I like you, or do I "like" like you. Though it's a fairly trivial task to determine numerical values for selections along a 5-point scale, there's no widespread agreement among users on exactly what star ratings represent. Each user applies a subtly different inter- pretation (complete with biases) to star ratings. Ask yourself the following questions— they're the questions that users have to ask each time they come across a ratings system: • What does "one star" mean on this scale? Should it express strong dislike? Apathy? Mild "like"? Many star-ratings widgets provide suggested interpretations at each point along the spectrum, such as "Dislike it," "Like it," and "Love it." The drawback to that approach is that it constrains the uses that individual users might find for the system. The advantage is that it brings the community interpre- tation of the scale into greater agreement. • What opinion does no rating express? Should the interface provide an explicit op- tion for "no rating?" Yahoo! Music's 5-star ratings widget feeds a recommender system that suggests new music according to what you've liked in the past. The site actually offers a sixth option (not presented as a star) intended to express "Don't play this track again." • Can the user change a rating already submitted? Adding such functionality—to change a vote that's already been cast—is another reason to make an interaction design distinction between rating an item and reviewing the community average. If you support undo or change, now your super-sized universal one-size-fits-all vote and display widget will also need to support that function, too. (Good luck with that.) • Can a rating include half-stars? Often, regardless of whether you allow half-step input for ratings, you will want to allow half-step display of community averages. In any event, notice that the possibility of half-values for stars effectively doubles the expressive range of the scale. Determining Inputs | 139
- Two-state votes (thumb ratings) "Thumb" voting (thumb up or thumb down) lets a user quickly rate content in a fun, engaging way (see Figure 6-7). The benefit to the user for voting is primarily related to self-expression ("I love this!" or "I hate this!"). The ratings don't need to be presented visually as thumbs (in fact, sometimes they shouldn't), but in this book, we use "thumb" as shorthand for a two-state voting mechanism. Figure 6-7. Yahoo! TV lets viewers rate their favorite episodes with thumb-up or thumb-down votes. The highly-skewed results shown in this example are typical: it turns out that only series fans go through the bother of rating individual episodes. Thumb voting allows users to express strongly polarized opinions about assets. For example, if you can state your question as simply as "Did you like this or not?", thumb voting may be appropriate. If it seems more natural to state your question as "How much did you like this?", then star ratings seem more appropriate. A popular and effective use of two-state voting is as a meta-moderation device for user- submitted opinions, comments, and reviews, as in Figure 6-8. Wherever you solicit user opinions about an object, also consider letting the community voice opinions about that opinion, by providing an easy control such as "Was this helpful?" or "Do you agree?" Figure 6-8. Two-state voting works best when the interface presents a clear and concise user prompt. Leave no doubt about what you're asking users to decide: "Was this review helpful to you?" Avoid thumb voting for multiple facets of an entity. For example, don't provide mul- tiple thumb widgets for a product review intended to record users' satisfaction with the product's price, quality, design, and features. Generally, a thumb vote should be 140 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- associated with an object in a one-to-one relationship: one entity gets one thumb up or down. Think of the metaphor, after all: Emperor Nero never would have let a glad- iator's arm survive while putting his leg to death. Think of thumb voting as an all-or- nothing rating. Consider thumb voting when you want a fun, lightweight rating mechanism. The context for thumb voting should be appropriately fun and lighthearted, too; don't use thumb voting in contexts where it will appear insensitive or inappropriate. An upraised thumb is considered offensive in some cultures. If your site has potential international appeal, watch out. Don't use thumb ratings when you want to compare qualitative data among assets. For example, in a long list of movies available for rental, you may want to permit sorting of the list by average rating. If you have been collecting thumb ratings, such sorting wouldn't be very useful to users. (Instead, consider a 5-star scalar rating style.) Vote to promote: Digging, liking, and endorsing Vote to promote fulfills a very specific niche in the world of online opinion-gathering. As users browse a collection or pool of media objects, they mark items as worthwhile using a control consisting of a simple gesture. This pattern has been popularized by social news sites such as Digg, Yahoo! Buzz, and Newsvine. Typically, these votes accumulate and are used to change the rank of items in the com- munity pool and present winners with more prominence or a higher status, but that's not an absolute necessity. Facebook offers an "I like this" link (Figure 6-9 ) that simply communicates a user's good will toward an item. Figure 6-9. Facebook's "Like" vote is a tiny, personal vote-to-promote-style system. A large part of its value to you, the user, comes from your social connection to the voters. The names of users who "like" an item are displayed to other users who encounter the item (until the list of vote casters becomes cumbersome, when the display switches to a sort of summary score), but highly liked items aren't promoted above other items in the news feed in any obvious or overt way. Determining Inputs | 141
- User reviews Writing a user review demands a lot of effort from users. It is among the most involved explicit input mechanisms that you can present, usually consisting of detailed, multi- part data entry (see Figure 6-10). To get good, usable comparison data from user reviews, try to ensure that the objects you offer up for review meet all the criteria that we listed above for good reputable entities (see "What Makes for a Good Reputable Entity?" on page 129). Ask users to write reviews only for objects that are valuable, long-lived, and that have a high- investment decision. Figure 6-10. Amazon's review-writing process—while streamlined—still asks a lot of review writers. This barrier to participation may skew involvement from the community. 142 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- Reviews typically are compound reputation claims, with each review made up of a number of smaller inputs bundled together. You might consider any combination of the following for your user-generated reviews: • You can include a freeform comment field (see "Text comments" on page 40) for users to provide their impressions of the rated object, good or bad. You may impose some standards on this field (for example, checking for profanity or requiring length in a certain character range), but generally this field is provided for users to fill in as they please. • Optionally, the review may feature a title. Also a freeform text entry, the title lets users put their "brand" on a review or give it extra appeal and pizazz. Users often use the title field to grab attention and summarize the tone and overall opinion of the full review. • Consider including an explicit scalar ratings widget, such as a 5-star scale ("Stars, bars, and letter grades" on page 138). It's almost always a good idea to display one overall rating for the object in question. For example, even if you're asking users to rate multiple facets of, say, a movie (direction, acting, plot, and effects), you can provide one prominent rating input for the users' overall opinion. You could just derive the average from a combination of the facet reviews, but that wouldn't be as viscerally satisfying for opinionated reviewers. • You may want to let users attach additional media to a review—for example, up- load a video testimonial or attach URLs for additional resources (Flickr photos or relevant blog entries). The more participation you can solicit from reviewers, the better. And to bootstrap a review's quality reputation, you can consider each ad- ditional resource as an input. Common Implicit Inputs Remember, with implicit reputation inputs, we are going to pay attention to some subtle and nonobvious indicators in our interface. Actions that—when users take them—may indicate a higher level of interest (indicative of higher quality) in the object targeted. It is difficult to generalize about implicit inputs because they are highly contextual. They depend on the particulars of your application: its object model, interaction styles, and screen designs. However, the following inputs represent the types of inputs you can track. Favorites, forwarding, and adding to a collection Any time a user saves an object or marks it for future consideration—either for himself or to pass along to someone else—that could be a reputable event. Determining Inputs | 143
- This type of input has a lot in common with the explicit vote-to-promote input (see "Vote to promote: Digging, liking, and endorsing" on page 141), but the difference lies in user intent and perception: in a vote-to-promote system, the primary motivator for marking something as worthwhile is to publicly state a preference, and the expectation is that information will be shared with the community. It is a more extrinsic motivation. By contrast, favorites, forwarding, and adding to a collection are more intrinsically motivated reputation inputs—actions that users take for largely private purposes. Favorites. To mark an item as a favorite, a user activates some simple control (usually clicking an icon or a link), which adds the item to a list that she can return to later for browsing, reading, or viewing. Some conceptual overlap exists between the favorites pattern, which can be semipublic (favorites often are displayed to the community as part of a user's profile) and the liking pattern. Both favorites and liking can be tallied and fed in almost identical ways into an object's quality reputation. Forwarding. You might know this input pattern as "send to a friend." This pattern fa- cilitates a largely private communication between two friends, in which one passes a reputable entity on to another for review. Yahoo! News has long promoted most emailed articles as a type of currency-of-interest proxy reputation. (See Figure 6-11.) Figure 6-11. A danger with implicit inputs like send-to-a-friend is that, once the community becomes accustomed to their presence, they risk becoming a type of explicit statement. Do you suppose Yahoo! News has to battle email bots designed to artificially inflate articles' visibility on the site? Adding to a collection. Many applications provide ordering mechanisms for users as con- veniences: a way to group like items, save them for later, edit them en masse. Depending on the context of your application, and the culture of use that emerges out of how people interact with collections on your site, you may want to consider each "add to collection" action as an implicit reputation statement, akin to favoriting or sending to a friend. 144 | Chapter 6: Objects, Inputs, Scope, and Mechanism
- Greater disclosure Greater disclosure is a highly variable input: there's a wide range of ways to present it in an interface (and weight it in reputation processes). But if users request "more in- formation" about an object, you might consider those requests as a measure of the interest in that object—especially if users are making the requests after having already evaluated some small component of the object, such as an excerpt, a thumbnail, or a teaser. A common format for blogs, for instance, is to present a menu of blog entries, with excerpts for each, and "read more" links. Clicks on a link to a post may be a reasonably accurate indicator of interest in the destination article. But beware—the limitations of a user interface can render such data misleading. In the example in Figure 6-12, the interface may not reveal enough content to allow you to infer the real level of interest from the number of clicks. (Weight such input accordingly.) Figure 6-12. By clicking "more," a reader may be indicating a higher level of interest in this review on Yahoo! Local. (Or a click may simply indicate that the excerpt wasn't generous enough—tread carefully.) Reactions: Comments, photos, and media One of the very best indicators of interest in an entity is the amount of conversation, rebuttal, and response that it generates. While we've cautioned against using activity alone as a reputation input (to the detriment of good quality indicators), we certainly don't want to imply that conversational activity has no place in your system. Far from it. If an item is a topic of conversation, the item should benefit from that interest. The operators of some popular websites realize the value of rebuttal mechanisms and have formalized the ability to attach a response to a reputable entity. YouTube's video responses feature is an example (see Figure 6-13). As with any implicit input, however, be careful; the more your site's design shows how your system uses those associations, the more tempting it will be for members of your community to misuse them.

I recently visited Christine Boxall on her acreage just west of Legal where she grows vegetables to sell along with some baked items at a couple of local farmers markets. Christine and her husband have approx. 5.5 acres but it was a garden that was 5 feet in diameter and 4 feet tall that had me intrigued and the reason I came for the visit.
Last summer Christine built a herb spiral, and this year she was reaping the rewards of her creative endeavor. A herb spiral is a vertical garden based on permaculture ideas of working less in the garden but reaping more produce. Herb spirals are a great first permaculture project to get your feet wet with, these beautiful and practical gardens are perfect for any homeowner even if your yard is only the size of a postage stamp.
I asked Christine what inspired her to create a herb spiral. "I attended a course hosted by Kenton Zerbin ** on permaculture, and thought this was one part of the course that I could manage to build myself. I like the idea of water conservation and ease of care." So she did just that, in two days with little to no cost she created her herb spiral, and here are some additional reasons why it was a good idea.
Benefits of the herb spiral:
- Grow more food in less space
- Get the benefits of several microclimates in one spot
- Convenient, easy access for maintenance and harvesting
- Simple to irrigate
- Low cost to build
- Healthy herbs for your enjoyment
Herb spirals can be made from just about any type of material from bricks, stones, willow, pipes and even gabion cages filled with rocks. Any material that will allow you to form a spiral shape and will hold soil in place will work. Christine's spiral was constructed from 4x4 posts, which she had lying around her property, so the cost to build this was minimal. If you search Google or Pinterest for herb spiral images you will see all the different concepts and designs people have created.
The design for the spiral is not without purpose, by having the spiral raised in the center, spiraling down to ground level, lots of microclimates are created that support different plants. Plants at the top of the spiral will have to be ones that like dryer and hotter conditions. Plants on the north side will enjoy shade and more moisture while plants at the bottom will receive the greatest abundance of moisture so plants that thrive with moisture consistency will do well here. Christine grows several types of herbs such as lavender, basil, mint, chamomile and borage in her spiral, all of which she uses for personal use or for her baking that she takes to the farmer's markets.
The advantages of having such diversity in a small footprint of space extends beyond convenience to the chef. The nature of the herb spiral with the close planting of different species creates beneficial relationships between the herbs (companion planting) and can create an environment that benefits the garden as a whole. Some plants are great pest deterrents such as marigold and basil, and others such as lemon balm, and marjoram attract insects like ladybugs and bees that are beneficial to surrounding gardens and feed on the pests. Borage and Chamomile are good for improving the taste of neighbouring plants as well as being visually appealing.
Here are some of the herbs that are in Christine's spiral and what she uses them for:
Borage: This herb has cucumber flavoured leaves that she uses dried for tea or fresh in other drinks, and the blue starry flowers are used fresh in salads or frozen into ice cubes as a drink garnish. Bees love this plant and so it aids in attracting beneficial bugs and pollinators to the garden.
Chamomile: She makes a tea using the dried flowers infused in boiling water, it helps boost the immune system, it aids in sleep and calms upset stomachs. Make sure that the yellow and white flowers are not the scentless chamomile noxious weed variety.
Basil: She makes a pesto using 3 cups of fresh basil leaves, 1 ½ cups of pine nuts, chopped walnuts or almonds, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 cup olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add all ingredients to a food processor adding the oil in last. Store in the fridge.
Lavender: Add 6 flower spikes of fresh or dried lavender to 2 cups of sugar, seal for a week, then use in the baking of cupcakes or custard dishes for an extra little flavor surprise.
Christine loves her hassle free herb spiral, she is letting the plants get established and is finding out which herbs do well and which ones she needs to find a better location for. It's easy to water and takes nothing to control the weeds. It's a beautiful focal point as you drive onto their acreage, it adds interest to what is normally a horizontal garden view and it's a great conversation piece. Her only wish is that she had built it just a bit bigger so that she could fit more strawberry plants in it.
Herb spirals are only one of the many garden designs that were created based on permaculture principals. Here is a website that you could go to with good info about herb spirals and a video from Bill Mollison and his take on it.
** If you are interested in taking some local permaculture courses and learning about herb spirals and other permaculture design concepts I encourage you to check out Kenton Zerbin's website http://kzpermaculture.ca . Kenton grew up in Sturgeon County and is now doing amazing things as a permaculture designer and instructor. He often hosts an Introduction to Permaculture workshop in Morninville and surrounding areas, so visit his website, subscribe to his newsletter and be inspired by the permaculture way of gardening.

Outdoor Cooking Safety Reminders
Cooking outdoors is in full swing. And that means cooks need to observe food-safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing food-borne illness. Here are safety reminders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture:
- Marinate food in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Poultry and cubed meat or stew meat can be marinated for as long as two days. Beef, veal, pork, and lamb roasts, chops and steaks may be marinated as long as five days.If some of the marinade is to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve some marinade before putting raw meat and poultry in it. If the marinade used on raw meat or poultry is to be reused, make sure to let it first come to a boil to destroy harmful bacteria.
- When carrying food to another location, keep it cold to minimize bacterial growth. Use an insulated cooler with enough ice or ice packs to keep the food at 40 degrees or colder. Pack food right from the refrigerator immediately into the cooler before leaving home.
- Keep meat and poultry refrigerated until ready to use. If using a cooler for meat, keep it out of the direct sun by placing it in the shade or shelter. Avoid opening the lid too often, which lets cold air out and warm air in. Pack beverages in one cooler and perishables in a separate cooler.
- Be sure there are plenty of clean utensils and platters. Don't use the same platter and utensils for raw and cooked meat and poultry. Harmful bacteria in raw meat and poultry and their juices can contaminate safely cooked food.
- Precooking food partially in the microwave, oven or stove is a good way to reduce grilling time. But make sure the food goes immediately on the preheated grill to complete the cooking.
- Cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy harmful bacteria. Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns quickly on the outside. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature.
Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145 degrees. Hamburgers made of ground beef and all cuts of pork should reach 160 degrees. All poultry should reach a minimum of 165 degrees.
- Never partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking it later.
- When reheating hot dogs and other fully cooked meats, grill to 165 degrees, when steaming hot.
- After cooking meat and poultry on the grill, keep it at 140 degrees or warmer until served. Keep cooked meats hot by setting them to the side of the grill rack, not directly over the coals, where they could overcook.
- In temperatures above 90 degrees, food should never sit out for more than one hour.
- Promptly refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers. Discard any food left out more than two hours, or one hour if temperatures are above 90 degrees.
- Smoking is cooking food indirectly in the presence of a fire. Smoking is done much more slowly than grilling, so less-tender meats benefit from this method, and a natural smoke flavoring permeates the meat. The temperature in the smoker should be maintained at 250 degrees to 300 degrees for safety.
- Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached a safe internal temperature.
- Some studies suggest that there might be a cancer risk related to eating food cooked by high-heat cooking techniques, such as grilling, frying and broiling. Based on current research findings, eating moderate amounts of grilled fish, meat and poultry that are cooked to a safe temperature without charring does not pose a problem.
To prevent charring, remove visible fat that can cause a flare- up. Precook meat in the microwave immediately before placing it on the grill to release some of the juices that can drop on coals.
Cook food in the center of the grill and move coals to the side to prevent fat and juices from dripping on them. Cut charred portions off the meat.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
We are left by and large with randomness, the "pied beauty" that Gerard Manley Hopkins refers to in his poem of that name, which praises "dappledness": "swift, slow; adazzle, dim."
The area was adazzle with all of the floodlights working and the generator throbbed away out of sight somewhere.
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
Such eyes adazzle dancing with mine, such nimble and discreet ankles, such gimp English middles, and such a gay delight in the mere grace of the lilting and tripping beneath rafters ringing loud with thunder, that Pan himself might skip across a hundred furrows for sheer envy to witness.

It's often overlooked that Langsdale is a participant in the Federal Depository Library Program. I thought I'd highlight a number of types of information that the country is unable to access while the shutdown continues and their importance. As you'll see there really is a great deal of information that is unavailable.
1) The census
Census information can be used for a wide variety of purposes. In addition to raw data about the population, the census collects information about income, demographics and a wide variety of other statistics that can help businesses as well as state and local governments.
2) Resources from the Library of Congress
The Library of Congress has an amazing amount of historic information, including papers of some of the earliest presidents, audio recordings, and a wealth of photographs. All of which is inaccessible both in person and online during the shutdown.
3) The Bureau of Labor Statistics
Finally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is unable to collect or publish data. Monthly reports on employment released by the bureau are a commonly used source of information to help monitor the health of the nation's economy and enable businesses to plan for the future.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Amazing Smell
Posted by iHerb Customer on August 18 2017 | Verified Purchase
It's like marzipan. Sure, it runs out pretty fast, but it's enjoyable.
Wonderful soap
Posted by iHerb Customer on April 3 2017 | Verified Purchase
I have been using goat milk soap for some time and found this one to be exceptional. Besides using it for bathing, it is a great cleanser for the face.
Very good

I like this!
Almond Plus
Posted by iHerb Customer on January 24 2017 | Verified Purchase
If you are a fan of almond scent you will be thrilled by this soap. I am a first time buyer of the brand Zum Bar and have not used it yet, so I can only write about how wonderful it smells. The five stars are for the quality of the scent.
Lovely Almond Smell
Posted by iHerb Customer on November 13 2016 | Verified Purchase
This soap bar smells heavenly. The almond smell is intense and lingers on after using it. It foams well and doesn't dry out my skin. It's so good I even use it on my face. I'm definitely re-ordering this again. Just wish the soap bar is bigger and doesn't run out so quickly. It's quite pricey considering it's size.

Are you aspiring to make it big as an entrepreneur?
That's grand as there is nothing more satisfactory in being your own boss. But entrepreneurship is no cakewalk and there would be challenges at almost turn.
The post below offers an insight on the major challenges faced by entrepreneurs followed by tips on how to solve them.
Cash management
Cash-flow management is a vital challenge for any entrepreneur and you will often find yourself struggling to pay your bills while waiting for checks. One of the major reasons behind the issue is delayed invoicing. You deliver your job, send your invoice & then your payment arrives thirty long days later. Meanwhile you can't skip paying your bills or employees or vendors- which altogether makes the situation picky for you.
To ease the challenge here, the experts always advise to go for proper budgeting and planning. You have to keep in reminding your client (don't get pushy though) about your invoice to make the payment as fast as possible. Don't just send the mail and keep on waiting just like that. Then, it's to stress here that at times it's the delayed invoice mail on part of the entrepreneur that further delays the payment. So, be organized with your payment system and send the invoice as soon as your client receives the delivery.
Debt trap
[ad name="MidleInPostAD"]
It's common for the entrepreneurs to take to loans for immediate cash help. When you have your payments pending, you would need immediate money to support your raw material purchases, to run your business operation, to clear employee payments, to make significant expenses like purchase of an edgy machinery and so on- and debts are a common solution in such cases. But when you are not so sound with your cash-flow management, you will be late with your debt repayments, gradually leading yourself in outstanding debts.
If you find yourself in outstanding debts given multiple pending debt repayments, debt consolidation loan would be a great help. A consolidated loan will help you to pay every outstanding dent with one single loan that will carry much lower interest rate than the pending loans. Search & compare online for best consolidation loans where you can find the most compatible interest rate.
Time management
When you are an entrepreneur, you have to look after almost every department of your company, from accounting to marketing to production to delivery and so on. In such situations, you will often find yourself struggling against time for bigger responsibilities in your office.
You must understand that it's not possible for you to look after every activity in your office. There are some tasks that can be handled by others and in such cases it's better to delegate those tasks to them- so that you can keep yourself free for the major responsibilities or decisions. However, be careful to whom you delegate the tasks to as any problem here would further mess up the situation for you.

Cherry Char Siu Chicken
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I love char siu in Chinese takeout food, but I don't like the red food coloring used in the sauce. I thought cherries might work instead, so I replaced the food coloring and much of the sugar with fresh cherries.
The trick with this recipe is the long marinating time, and the basting as it cooks. This gives you a glossy and delicious chicken!
Char siu is usually made with pork, but it's great with chicken too. This sauce is not as red as some bottled sauces, but it tastes far better. This char siu tastes fruity and spicy. —Leith Devine
Food52 Review: Wow. This was really good. The cherries shine in this sauce, even though there are a lot of other flavors. I mean cherries with soy sauce, Sriracha, and Chinese five-spice? I was intrigued, and it definitely paid off. This is another recipe that only requires blending, marinating, and grilling. All comes together with minimal effort, but the flavors are really quite impressive. I loved basting the chicken while it grilled and it gave it a nice sticky exterior. (Caveat: I have never made char siu, so I can't really say how this compares to the original.) I would change one thing: I would boil the sauce as recommended, but then set aside 1 cup for basting and reduce the rest even further to use for serving. The sauce is really nice to have if serving with rice. —figgypudding
Serves 6
- 3 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 pound fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or rice wine
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Place chicken in a large zip-top bag.
- Mix together all the ingredients (except sesame oil) for the sauce in a food processor. Process until smooth.
- Pour sauce over chicken and mix well. Marinate overnight or up to 24 hours.
- Remove chicken from the bag, reserving the leftover marinade. Add sesame oil to the leftover marinade and boil until slightly thickened. Use this as the basting sauce. Reserve 1 cup for serving.
- Preheat grill to medium using indirect heat. Place marinated chicken on grill. Brush with basting sauce and turn chicken every 10 minutes, basting each time, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Don't let it burn like I did!
- Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with brown rice and vegetables.

Do you really want to delete project Generos de Punta?
The advertising world, and especially event planning, has caught my attention from an early age. During the 10 years I have worked in the events' industry I have had the opportunity to take part in very diverse communication projects, and therefore educate my preferences and work style. From copywriting jobs for different brands, to planning educational programmes, producing advertising spots and, during the last few years, working on tradeshows, I had the time and the personal disposition to prove my qualities, and keep on learning from each experience. In every project I have worked on I used strategical skills, always accompanied by a creative input. My passion and skill to learning and speaking different languages at an advanced level helped me adapt my dialogue to different clients and suppliers, and lead international teams. Apart from the working skills and experience summary, I am passionate about music and right now I find myself enjoying all types of music, as long as I find a high percentage of quality in it. I am what you call a "behind the scenes" person. Always observing, always connecting ideas, concepts, people, always preparing something. One thing I am trying to overcome: the necessity of perfection.

Thanks very much for posting these Gore reviews. It's great to see some reviews from when these guys were active. How I would kill to have seen them live. "Mean Man's Dream" is one of the best, truly heavy albums ever in my opinion. Some people don't get it, it's "too monotonous" or "where's the vocals?". If you let yourself be taken over by the stark, brutal riffs and rhythms, this album (and Hart Gore/Wrede) is a reminder that most "heavy" music released today pales in comparison.

But I really don't know how to and she is fairly experienced herself so if it would be possible for her to just take it from me then that'd be good to. Thanks for your help and I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or did something else wrong, please just tell me how to correct it if I did. Thanks again!

At the May 17th 2011 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Academy Conference held at Eastern Michigan University, keynote speaker John Tagg presented "Using SoTL to Dispel the Fog of Learning." His presentation emphasized the difference between the teaching and the learning paradigm, as co-authored in an article with Robert Barr that was published in the Nov/Dec 1995 issue of Change: "From Teaching to Learning: A New Paradigm for Higher Education."
The keynote presentation highlighted education being prolific in advancing research and excellence in all disciplines, however that the same rigor and meaning has yet to be associated with its own scholarship of teaching and learning discipline.

Mark VanGessel, Extension Weed Specialist; email@example.com
Last fall there was a sample of spreading dayflower brought into the office (http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/comco.htm). The field was treated once or twice with glyphosate and the plants were not controlled. The grower was concerned about resistance. As it turns out, dayflower is one of those species that glyphosate will not control. FirstRate is the best option for dayflower control in soybeans.

The Milwaukee Bucks appear set to take the first step in finding their next head coach.According to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Bucks were granted permission to speak with Houston Rockets assistant coach Kelvin Sampson and will interview him in Milwaukee on Thursday. Thought of as one of Milwaukees top targets, Sampson just finished his second season under Kevin McHale in Houston, as the Rockets finished 45-37 and took top-seeded Oklahoma City to Game 6 before falling Friday night at home to end their season. Prior to joining the Rockets, Sampson spent three seasons as an assistant coach with the Bucks, joining Scott Skiles staff prior to the 2008-09 season. Sampson headed to the NBA after his long college coaching career ended poorly. With head coaching experience at Montana Tech, Washington State and Oklahoma, Sampson was named the head coach at Indiana University in 2006. The Hoosiers went 22-11 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament in Sampsons first season and were 22-4 in his second season when he was suspended in late February of 2008. He would later resign amidst a scandal surrounding the program due to impermissible recruiting phone calls. Yahoo! Sports reported Monday that former Seattle and Portland head coach Nate McMillan will interview with the Bucks sometime this week, as well. The veteran coach has already interviewed with Detroit. In parts of 12 seasons leading the Sonics and Blazers, McMillan has a 478-452 career record, making the playoffs five times and advancing out of the first round once. Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter.

Open BlueDragon Steering Committee
April 8, 2008 ·
Alan Williamson introduces the members of the Open BlueDragon Steering Committee in a post today that includes quotes from each committee member about their hopes for the project.New Atlanta have been planning this project for a long time (as you'll have heard / read in the various interviews with Vince Bonfanti). Vince approached me almost a year ago to ask if I'd be interested in being part of the steering committee and I said yes, very interested. Over the months, he kept me apprised of progress as discussions went on inside the company. When the announcement came, at CFUNITED Europe (video interview with Vince), I was relieved that we were finally going to be able to talk publicly about the project. Now that Alan has formally announced the committee, I can also talk openly about that. As Alan says, most people will recognize the majority of the committee - and I think it's important to note that several members have not exactly been New Atlanta's greatest fans in the past, which I think is a testament to how positive these people feel about the emergence of a free, open source CFML engine. You can get involved in by joining the Open BlueDragon mailing list. You should also feel free to ask me questions about the project directly at email@example.com.

this is great news for CFML!
Dude, where do you find all the time for all these projects!? Good luck with OpenBD. Very interested to see where this is going....
This is very cool.... I'm really interested in seeing what this will bring to the future of CF.
@Ryan, I don't play games and I don't watch TV so these projects are my entertainment :)

In among the photos from the Washington State Digital Archives of Spokane's preparations for its Expo '74 is this highly colorful one of a construction-site parking lot near where the main gate for the world's fair would be. We're guessing the photo was taken somewhere along or above West Spokane Falls Boulevard, looking west. What do you see here?
Quite a broad array of models, and years of vehicles. I see quite a few Dart/Valiant fleet vehicles. What looks like a late 40's Buick off in the distance, and a very interesting COE loaded with Cable on the lower left. I'm thinking its a late 30's early 40's Ford? Good memories of the 73 Fury wagon just entering the picture from the right. Oh.. and someone drove a red VW convertible to the worksite-must have had a long wait for a sunny day to drive that with the top down!
Oh, and what looks like a 61 Polara next to a disintegrating yellow Maverick.
I am pretty sure that's a 1962 Chrysler 300. I also noticed the old black Buick by the end of the bridge. The red Valiants remind me of the 1969 Signet coupe I had.
The time of year is late enough that everyone was already at work when the sun rose, so probably October or November.
Thanks, I was debating on whether it was a Plymouth or a Dodge, turns out it was better than that!
I believe the photo is approximately the corner of Wall and West Spokane Falls Blvd. looking northeast. The brown-roofed strcture on the right edge of the photo houses the carousel. The tall clock tower is all that's left of the Great Northern Railway depot. I remember the day they tried to knock the depot down with wrecking balls and they just bounced off the side of the building. The fair was opened by President Nixon and closed by President Ford. Interesting times. . .
…. and that wasn't because it was an election year!
Some good stuff here. Notice the '40's Buick parked on the now cut off Howard Street bridge deck. Also the Bug ragtop lower left. behind the bug is an interesting lineup – GM pickup, Rambler wagon, '64 Buick, '64 Chevy, '62? Mopar, and Ford Maverick – U.S. represented well here. The group of backed in red Valiants with the dog dish caps I'm betting are municipal vehilces of some kind as the main downtown fire station was close to this location.
I love the '70 Chev wagon at the light.
The proportions in this photo look slightly off. All the vehicles look a bit taller and narrower than they should. It made identifying some of them tricky.
Yes it does, I'm not sure if that's because of the photo itself or the scanning, maybe both. The car to the left of the red 59 Chevy (Biscayne?) and another two cars to the right beside the Nova is one I can't guess, because at first glance it almost looks like an import, but it's about the same length as the Mopars and has a similar roofline, but I can't match the front end with anything I remember from that era. Other than the VW's the only import I can discern is the red 72 Subaru wagon on the far left.
1966 Valiant maybe?
The '59 Chevy is a Bel Air.
As I recall, the "187" number boards in the clock tower referred to the number of days until fair opening. So this photo was probably taken in the fall of 1973.
The red '68 Valiant sedan and two 1969 models all parked next to each other look to be company cars.
That K5 is a pretty sight.
Little red wagon far left – I'm thinking Subaru or Datsun 180B which I think is a 610 in your money

I make lists for just about everything — groceries, office assignments, housework, packing for vacation.
Thing is, many of these lists used to be mental. Since childhood, I remembered almost everything after hearing (or seeing) it once. I was the go-to in my family when someone needed a reminder.
As I've gotten older, the lists have moved to paper. In part, because my memory has gone from an elephant on ginkgo biloba to just a plain, old elephant. Perhaps one who is about to check out.
So I've taken to writing my lists on paper. They have to be on clean, preferably lined, sheets. The satisfaction I get when crossing that last item off my list is second only to crossing the line at a 5K ahead of the women wearing Breathe Right strips across their nose.
I create a "to do" list at work each morning and will set a goal of the number of things that must be crossed off that list before I go to lunch. When grocery shopping, my list is set up like the store is laid out — with produce at the top and frozen food and dairy at the bottom.
And, when getting ready for vacation, I create a list with categories — such as "golf outfits," "other clothes," "beauty," "electronics," "media" and "health."
The last thing I do before leaving the house for a trip is do the double cross-out of everything on that list. I have yet to forget anything, except underwear about two years ago. That is now it's own category.
For me lists are what Amanda would call a Happy Habit. I feel complete, organized, satisfied and, well, happy, making — and completing — lists.

An excellent vintage of power and concentration
Weather Conditions
Flowering was early, and the summer very warm and dry. Hail in early July reduced the crop by up to 75 percent at some properties in Bommes. Botrytis spread rapidly in September, despite the absence of morning fogs until early October. Grapes were very rich in sugar, and some wines showed a touch of heaviness, but overall quality is splendid, with excellent concentration and power. Wines from Barsac are in general slightly superior to those from the other communes, but there are many exceptions.
