Angels & Insects
Maybe it's because dachshund-sized moths like to lay eggs on the side of my apartment, or because I used to draw the occasional beetle, but I find the photographic project Angels & Insects arresting, though far from comforting. [Via] In a similar vein, Attracted to Light, from Brooklyn-based twins Doug & Mike Starn, explores the interplay of light, darkness, and these airborne sweater-wreckers. You can flip through the book and check out images from the project online. [See also previous entry on PS & insects.]

Brooke Burke and Derek Hough Take Quick Step to Top of Dancing with the Stars
Matt Richenthal at . CommentsIf Brooke Burke keeps Cha Cha-ing and Quickstepping like this, she may eventually be known as more than just a naked model.
She may be crowned the winner of Dancing with the Stars' seventh season.
It's very early, but Burke and partner Derek Hough have earned the top score on each of the first two nights of competition. Here's a look at the pair following last night's 26-point effort:
Who might give this tandem some competition? A full recap of Dancing with the Stars, night two, will reveal all...

FINDLAY Liberty-Benton schools will be on the Aug. 5 ballot asking voters to approve a $15.7 million bond issue to build an addition to the elementary school and renovate the middle school.
The 7-mill, 28-year bond issue would constitute the local share of a $28 million project that would be funded, in part, by the Ohio School Facilities Commission.
Superintendent Dennis Recker said the project would be part of the agency s fast track program and would allow the district to make the most of the state s help.
If we don t do this now and if I don t give the people the opportunity to do this now, it s going to become a moot issue because the cost is going to get away from them, he said. This is the best opportunity they ll ever get.
Under the proposal, the district would tear down the 1921 portion of the elementary, put on a 50,419-square-foot addition, remodel the 1976 middle school, and install a sprinkler system at the 12-year-old high school.
The project would allow the growing district to get rid of eight portable classrooms at the elementary-middle school complex.

Navy offers a sweetheart deal
First dibs on dry dock makes nice valentine for Frank Foti's shipyard
Buried in the fiscal 2003 National Defense Authorization Act signed into law by President Bush three weeks before Christmas was a little-noticed holiday bauble for Frank Foti's Portland Shipyard LLC.
An obscure provision of the act, Section 1027, authorized the secretary of the U.S. Navy to sell Navy Drydock No. YFD-69 to the shipyard for fair market value, as determined by the Navy at the time of the sale.
The specific mention of Portland Shipyard surprised ÑÊand disturbed Ñ rival shipyard operators who expected the dry dock eventually to be declared surplus and put on the open market.
The 598-foot-long dry dock, which has been moored at the Swan Island shipyard since World War II, is the older and smaller of the two remaining floating dry docks there. Foti sold off the shipyard's biggest dry dock, Dry Dock 4, in 2001 to forestall a threatened foreclosure.
The sale does have one catch: The buyer ÑÊand Foti reportedly is in negotiations now with the Navy ÑÊmust agree to keep the dry dock at Swan Island until at least Sept. 30, 2007.
Known as Dry Dock 1, it was built in Portland by Kaiser during World War II and has been at Swan Island since 1945. The Port of Portland leases the dock from the Navy and subleases it to Cascade General Inc., which is owned by Portland Shipyard LLC, Foti's holding company.
The bill that included Section 1027, signed by the president on Dec. 2, authorized $392.9 billion in defense appropriations for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.
Janice Grieff, general manager of rival shipyard Mar Com Inc., reacted with shock to the Navy's decision to sell the dock to Foti rather than put it on the open market. After the Navy extended the lease on the dock last year, she said, 'they promised before anything happened that everybody and their brother would be aware.'
Now, she said bitterly, referring to Foti, 'they've given it to him like they've given everything else.'
Foti wouldn't comment, except for a message conveyed by an aide, who said, 'He prefers not to comment on ongoing negotiations.'
Port goes to bat for shipyard
The shipyard owner has done battle for the dock before. In the summer of 2001, Foti said he'd lobbied 'the entire congressional delegation' about keeping the leased dock. 'This is a critical-mass issue,' he said at the time. 'With only one dock, that's a very difficult situation for us. We need two docks to have a substantial shipyard.'
When officials of the Port of Port Angeles, Wash., expressed interest in the dock in 2001, anticipating that it eventually would be released as federal surplus, Terri Deskins, Cascade General's then-business development director, warned port commissioners there that the financial return would be 'grim' if Port Angeles obtained the dock.
The Port of Portland intervened on Foti's behalf a year ago when the Navy wanted to raise the annual lease on the dock from $127,500 to $740,000. Port staff members got the lease amount lowered to $375,000 for 2002.
Initially, the lease was to expire Jan. 31, when the dock would become surplus, but port spokeswoman Elisa Dozono said the Navy requested a six-month extension.
Dozono said the port did not have a role in writing Section 1027 and giving Foti sole shot at the dry dock. 'I checked with several people and they said no,' Dozono said.
Mar Com owner Tom Maples complained in a letter to the port commission that it was favoring Cascade over other competing private businesses when it intervened with the Navy on behalf of Cascade General on the lease amount.
'The port has already provided much more to Cascade General than any other city or state should give to a private contractor,' Maples wrote.
Biggest asset floats away
Foti bought the shipyard from the Port of Portland in August 2000 for $18 million in cash and two unsecured notes, totaling just over $8 million, that aren't due until 2009. He made an early payment of $375,000 toward the debt early this year.
In July 2001, Foti sold the shipyard's single biggest asset, Dry Dock 4, for $25 million. The 982-foot-long dry dock, the largest in North America, now is owned by the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, the Bahamas, where it is chiefly being used to service cruise ships. It was built for the Port of Portland in 1979 with proceeds from an $84 million public bond issue.
Foti got permission from the port's board of commissioners to sell Dry Dock 4 after a key creditor threatened to foreclose on the yard. Foti said the dock no longer was essential to the Portland shipyard because ship repair demand had shifted to Asia.
Since then, business at the shipyard has dwindled, although it has perked up slightly in recent months. Foti said about 400 people are working at the yard, although one observer said that number seemed high for the amount of work that's under way.
Multnomah County appraised the shipyard, including Dry Dock 4, for $67.1 million in 2001. The property hadn't previously been appraised for tax purposes because the port had sponsored legislation in the state Legislature in 1995 that exempted the shipyard Ñ specifically Foti ÑÊfrom paying taxes.
Foti leased the shipyard for five years before he bought it from the port.
State analysts estimated that the exemption cost taxpayers $7 million in revenue.

You've heard of "personal days" at work? Well yesterday I took a personal genealogy day.
I haven't worked on my own family stuff in weeks. I've been doing homework for ProGen, writing articles, maintaining this blog, taking my kid to see trains, running a household, etc. So yesterday I just cleared the calendar and resumed working on my RootsMagic database that I started building from scratch last year.
I worked on the Bourgaux/Menou lines in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. I entered in the details from the death certificates and obituaries of my great-great grandparents. I found a recent online obituary from a cousin I've never met from that line and added those details to the database as well.
Then I sent a letter to complete stranger/cousin asking for family information. I enclosed a picture of our ancestors in my letter to show that I'm sincere and not some stalker freak. We'll see how that goes.
This personal genealogy day came at the right time. I really enjoy working on this database, each fact having a source. It's so small right now and takes so long to add information correctly, but the end result will be worth it.
Now back to real life and the responsibilities it entails. Laundry doesn't care about family history.

SANDAG to Use Stimulus Money for Highway Projects
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
Aired 4/19/09
The San Diego Association of Governments says two highway projects are top priorities for the money SANDAG will receive from the federal economic stimulus package. KPBS reporter Katie Orr has details.
SANDAG compiled a list of projects totaling more than 7 billion dollars. The organization wanted to see those funded through the stimulus package. Executive Director Gary Gallegos says the amount SANDAG will receive is less than it was hoping for. But he says there are still some big projects that it will move on.
Gallegos: At the top of the list would be the next phase of state route 76 in North County, the next phase of 905 down south in the boarder. We've got some bridges on the costal rail line that need to be replaced that are ready to go.
Gallegos says SANDAG will also partner with Orange and Los Angeles Counties to apply for grants to lay down more track on the rail line running from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

A source close to the two, however, says that she is indeed expecting again—a little more than three months along.AdvertisementAnd yet, until anything official is released about the occupation of Yoncy's womb, people will continue to have their doubts for a few reasons. One question: The rumor persists that she secretly used a surrogate to carry Blue Ivy, so why would she do otherwise this time around? And secondly, the PR company who sent out the photographs later clarified that it was just "the way her dress looked" in that one shot. [Hollywood Life, Examiner, E! Online]Katie Holmes gave Joshua Jackson a call after her split with Tom Cruise and although Pacey said it was "nice" he was glad to hear from her, his description of their conversation sounded awkward as all get-out: "Like any old friend, it was like, 'Oh, hi, how are ya? What's going on?' 'I had a kid.'" And spent a few years being repressed by an übertoothy alien prince with an alliance to a bizarre and unholy cult. But really, that's more of an endless mimosa brunch conversation. [Us Weekly]Chris Brown went to court in Los Angeles for a slap on the wrist after failing a random drug test in Virginia, part of the deal he made for his 2009 assault. Brown told Virginia officials that the marijuana was medical (he has a card from an acupuncturist) and legal in California. The judge said that lots of kids look up to him and he should be more careful. That ship has sailed, dontcha think? [NYDN]AdvertisementSupposedly this Ri-Ri tweet is about Brown:[Pop Crush]Speaking of which, Rihanna puked on her VIP table at a club in Las Vegas, although supposedly some of it went into a napkin. The dude with her gave her a towel to clean herself up. I wonder if dudes just follow her around with towels. (Yes.) [Entertainmentwise] Uh… Does Rihanna smoke diamonds? [HuffPo] Sofia Vergara's fiancee Nick Loeb acted like a dick when her dress ripped at the Emmys. As she ran to find a wardrobe assistant to help with the emergency:AdvertisementSponsoredNick was trailing in the back, looking annoyed. He was just annoyed that she pulled them from the audience. He was huffing and puffing.Later, he was overheard saying "Ugh, I need to smoke a cigarette. Her dress got stuck on the seat and made a huge rip. Her whole [bleep]ing ass was sticking out." [Page Six]Guys, this is a new Ke$ha single. Fuck it, I kind of like her.Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath married his longtime girlfriend and mother of his kids. Also guys, SUGAR RAY.

First of all ... completely understand about the song.
Second of all I wanted to say that I think about you and your family often. I mean, not in a weird stalker way - but just to put your mind to rest I'm in Australia so you don't need to worry.
I can't remember how I came across your blog, I remember that you were taking a 'long lunch' at the time. I was struck by your creativity, talent and, most importantly, your generosity of spirit. I continue to find your blog posts inspiring, funny and, at times, heart wrenching...which is probably why my thoughts are often with you and your family even while I look after my own.
I know how difficult being a mother of young children can be (my own sons are 2 and 3 1/2). Wonderful, inspiring, joyful and always a blessing but also, at times, difficult. Sometimes it's so easy to become mired in frustration and gloom. Your efforts to lift yourself and family above it and embrace happiness is a credit to you and I hope that it continues to brighten your world.
I hope this comment doesn't seem weird, I wasn't sure if I should write it but I wanted you to know both that you're not alone and that you make a difference to others.- AnonymousApril 9, 2014 at 3:52 AM
comee ooonn grown woman with pink hair? you are sooo ridiculous
ReplyDelete what a great reminder, to just get the fire lit under your butt and do that project that you've been putting off. you are right, it would make you feel amazing. and doing the right things and being responsible i think as often downers of being an adult, but maybe youre right. we should flip our way of thinking and instead of dreading our chores and responsibilites we should just embrace them and enpower ourselves with the happiness it gives us. i think i'll go change that blown light bulb! lol
ReplyDeleteHoney, I LOVE your pink hair. It is perfection of color on your beautiful self.
(I had planned to write this and then happened upon the above ridiculous comment as I scrolled up to glance at it again)
It is perfect with your complexion too!!!!
I have to say, I wish I'd done something fun like that when I was your age.
Gorgeous and super fun!
Laundry...yea, tons to do( I am more than half way through an 8 wks sub position so daily things are sorely neglected esp with warm weekends when we go biking and doing family things!)
Oh and we better not forget the kitchen :)

Coilovers on a MII IFS 54 Ford F-100
Guy's I just bought the truck and it rode too low in the front for my liking. I've raised it with tires and replacement springs and now it's too high and slightly uneven from side to side by about an 1/8 inch, I only went up one size spring according to Eaton's spring chart. After many suggestions I'm looking to swap in some coil overs to dial her in once and for all, but I'm concerned about placing the entire load on the stock shock mounting points. Will they hold up to the load?
Sponsored Links | |||
If you just put new coil springs in you need to drive it for at least 500 miles so the springs can seat themselves. Coils will loose some of their initial height over the first few hundred miles and your truck will sit a little lower after that happens. Also a difference of 1/8" from side to side can't be seen by just looking at it. I don't think you'll ever find coil springs that will sit any closer than that. Another option, after the springs seat, would be to cut a portion of one coil (cut it with a saw not a torch) if it still sits a touch too high. You could also go back to the smaller tires that were on it when you bought it.
Coilovers are fine but I think you would be wasting your money. Centerline HotRodsAndHemis.com "Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." |
Centerline I'm old and fairly blind but I could see the driver side was higher right away and we confirmed it with measurements from the ground to the fender lip on a flat and level concrete pad. Going back to the low profile tires would only make it worse i.e. the gap between the tire and fender would grow and the chassis would be closer to the ground. I've only driven it about twenty miles but I think the odds of it settling exactly an inch on the passenger side and an inch and a eighth on the driver side are pretty remote hence the coilover idea. Believe me I'm not in a hurry to spend the money on the coilovers but I want the stance close to perfect while minimizing the trial and error phase. I still would like to know if the stock shock mounting points are up to the load, more pointedly the lower horizontal bolt through the OEM lower control arm? Also considering I'm only after an 1/8 side to side is it acceptable to grind that amount off the lower end of the coil spring or would that create too much heat?
-Will |
Measure the installed height of the springs that are in the truck now. With that info and knowing the rate of the springs you can determine how much weight the springs are supporting.
With that info, contact your spring supplier and tell them you need springs to support "X" amount of weight at what ever height you like. Example: if the springs have a current installed height of 11" and are supporting 400lbs, if you want to lower the truck 1", let the spring shop know you need to support 400lbs at 10" installed height. Keep the uninstalled (free) height the same so the springs won't be loose at full suspension droop. You can make up for any minor differences in height with a small shim or by slightly trimming the spring from the high side. As to the shock mounts being strong enough, I feel all coil-over mounts should be double shear. Andy |
Alright I'm going to remove the high one and grind to match sides and drive it for a few hundred miles to see how they settle.
-Will |
Sounds like a good plan, just keep in mind with the leverage ratio of your suspension, to lower the truck 1/8" at the wheel will require next to nothing being removed at the spring. All spring height changes are amplified at the wheel.
Andy |
yeah that's why I figured grinding vice cutting.
-Will |
Have you measured body height all 4 corners? If the rear is off, it may be unevenly loading the front end...

City of Castlegar council briefs from Jan. 16
Bear Aware
Betty Offin presented council with the 2011 annual report for Castlegar Bear Aware on Monday at the regular council meeting of Jan. 16.
"Bear Aware Castlegar had a successful year in 2011," she said in her report. "There were fewer bears in town during the 2011 season than in 2010."
The report said that six bears were destroyed last year due to human-bear conflict, down from 27 in 2010. There were 159 calls to the RAPP line in 2011 as opposed to 280 in 2011.
"Garbage and fruit were the major bear attractants - as they have been since 1998 when the program began," she said.
Offin said the goal for Bear Aware in 2011 was to keep bear attractant issues in the public eye by participating in as many community events as possible.
Business Retention and Expansion Project
Pam McLeod, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Terri MacDonald, regional innovation chair in rural economic development at Selkirk College, gave a presentation to council on a region-wide Business Retention and Expansion pilot project.
The project is a recently announced three-year priority, regional pilot project.
MacDonald explained the rationale behind the project: business development and job creation are key to community vitality; anywhere from 40-90 per cent of new jobs come from existing businesses; and, in order to support existing businesses, we need to first understand their needs.
The goals of the program are: to accurately access the needs of business; provide assistance to businesses to help them survive economic difficulties and assist them with growth; and, build co-operation and consensus among local government, economic development organizations and business.
If Castlegar is interested in learning more or would like to move forward, the next steps are: to secure funding to support implementation, and follow up planning and action; ensure support and commitment of local government, Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures, college, etc.; formation of local task force to support implementation and resource network to support short and long term follow-up; and development of implementation plan and timeline, said MacDonald.
Bridge water/sewer
On Monday night at regular council meeting, Castlegar city council approved Phase 2 of the Airport Lands Servicing Project.
"We're going to go to tender right away," said councillor Russ Hearne. "We're going to try and get the best bang for our buck. Early in the construction season is the best time to get your bids in because all these companies are going to be looking for work. We're hopeful we'll be able to get a great price."
The first phase of the servicing work, which laid pipes under the Kinnaird Bridge for sewer and water mains to be brought out to the airport lands, is mostly completed with only minor work left.
"The project will allow us to connect sewer and water on both ends of the bridge," said Hearne. "The bridgework is all but completed. They're just doing some testing."
The second phase will complete the connection of the bridge mains to the existing City infrastructure.
Toilet Rebate Program
Council agreed to continue with the Toilet Rebate Program into 2012. The program first started in May of 2010 and encourages home owners to replace older 13 or greater litre per flush toilets with newer, more efficient 6 or less litre per flush toilets.
"One toilet changed in a household with a family of four will save on average 200 litres per day," said Hearne. "That's 400 bottles of water."
In 2011, toilet retrofits totalled 36 for a rebate value of $3,050.
Castlegar Civic Works recommended that the program be funded to a maximum of $4,000 per year with one rebate of $100 or less per single or multiple family dwelling credited to the water utility bill/water meter bill.
At Monday's meeting, Castlegar council received a letter from Castlegar Taxi/Champion Taxi of Trail owner John Foglia asking for support.
"We have requested an increase in fares from the transportation board," said Foglia in his letter. "Over the last five months wages, fuel costs, as well as living expenses have increased substantially. A request has been submitted to the government for an increase to continue to operate the current taxi companies in Castlegar and Trail.
As a company that is governed by the provincial government, we can no longer continue serving the public as of February 1, 2012 if this increase is not approved. This notice is to give all our valued customers in the Trail, Castlegar and surrounding area sufficient notice."
Councillor Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff made a proposal, which was accepted, that council write a letter of support for Castlegar Taxi and Champion Taxi from Trail in their upcoming hearing.
"I recommended that the City of Castlegar send a letter of support for the upcoming rate hearing," said Heaton-Sherstobitoff. "It's an essential service to a lot of the seniors or people with mobility issues or those who can't drive. If we're really into economic development we need to show support for our businesses."
The rates for taxicabs are set by the Passenger Transportation Board. The flag rate for Castlegar is $3.15 including HST. Rate 1, which is the per kilometre rate, is set at $2.06. Foglio is asking for an increase to $2.80 per hour for rate 1. Castlegar Taxi's current wait time rate is set at $43.66 per hour and Foglio is asking for an increase of that to $58.95 per hour.
The Passenger Transportation Board will meet on Jan. 23 to decide whether or not to approve the requested rate increases for Castlegar Taxi.

Ducks' Nick Johnston Nominated for Preseason Player of the Year, Alum Scott Miller Makes MCLA All-Decade Team
Eugene, Or. – University of Oregon senior goalie Nick Johnston has been nominated for preseason player of the year by Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse. The captain will play an important role in taking the Ducks back to the MCLA National Championships this year as part of an large, experienced senior class. Last year Johnston posted a 63.2 save percentage en route to 3rd Team All-American, 1st Team All-Conference, PNCLL Defensive MVP, and PNCLL Final Four MVP honors. He played his best in the biggest games for the Ducks as well, highlighted by a 23-save, 74.2 save percentage game against rival Simon Fraser University in the PNCLL Championship which led to an automatic bid to the MCLA National Championships. Johnston said about his nomination for preseason player of the year, "It feels great to be nominated as one of the best players in the MCLA. We are really looking forward to this season and think we can do some big things. We have a really good senior class this year and we all need to step up our games if we want to reach all our goals and that all comes down to our determination."
Nick Johnston is building off a history of great players in the Oregon program as it was recently announced by MCLA The Lax Mag that former Duck face-off man Scott Miller was included in their All-Decade team. Miller played an integral role in the program's only appearance in the MCLA National Championship Game in 2007. During his playing career he garnered MCLA All-American and PNCLL All-Conference 1st team honors. The entire University of Oregon lacrosse family sends their congratulations to Miller.

Since Tinariwen were last seen in London a lot has happened. In February they won a Grammy award for best world music album, although that album, Tassili, was far from their best; an acoustic dead-end, it roped in celebrity guests in an attempt to widen their appeal that merely diluted it. More serious is the political situation in Mali, where they have been figureheads for the Touareg struggle against the state. In January, a coup ballooned into the secession of the northern part of the country, but this separatist movement was quickly hijacked by Islamists affiliated with al-Qaeda. Now, in their part of the Sahara, music is banned; coming on tour, which used to involve a complicated trip via Timbuktu and Bamako, now entails an even more complicated trip via southern Algeria. Ibrahim Al Aghabib, Tinariwen's difficult but commanding front man, has stayed home in the desert.
This first appearance in London (other dates follow) came at the top of the bill of Songlines magazine's Awards for World Music: they had won Best Group. The award for Best Newcomer went to their compatriot (de jure if no longer de facto) Fatoumata Diawara. If not yet a natural headliner, she is a reliably great support act: instantly memorable songs, irresistibly charming, accompanied just by an acoustic guitar. Her noisy Parisian band muffled the impact a bit, forcing her to shout where she needed to sing gently. Introducing "Kèlè", she alluded obliquely to the situation in Mali, blurring it into a general call for peace across Africa.
Best Artist was Anoushka Shankar, who played a selection from her recent album combining Indian classical music with flamenco. For the most part, the mixture was convincing; looser and more improvisatory than when she toured with the same material last year. Ashwani Shankar (no relation) played the shennai, a flute that sounded uncannily like a flamenco singer; Sandra Carrasco, an actual flamenco singer, sang a 13th-century Farsi king's song of devotion in Spanish translation. Shankar herself worked the sitar hard, left arm flying up and down the long fretboard as if semaphoring. A duet with Spanish guitarist El Melón on "Boy Meets Girl" failed to spark, and the absence of her usual classical interludes was a pity, but the closing "Jog" whipped up immense punkish energy through tightly compressed solos on percussion, tanpura and finally sitar.
Tinariwen, when they appeared, were clustered into a tight circle in the middle of the vast stage, looking beleaguered. Their dress code of full robes and veiled faces was back in force, after recent years in which they had become decidedly casual, with foreheads and chins occasionally creeping into view. Touareg Kremlinologists would have noted the band slimmed down to six (from a peak of nine or 10), the sharp ululations of the women singers notably absent.
Al Aghabib's absence was felt: he ornaments his electric guitar playing with constant flourishes and curlicues, each abruptly cut off in a way that gives Tinariwen their sense of rumbling menace. In his absence, Egadou Ag Leche, the bass player, upped his attack, dry and heavy on "Amidinin" and "Adunya". By the end of the set, though, the band had their groove back. "Nazagh Ejbal" made a virtue of width and space; Ag Leche played a succession of wide, stepping solos on "Sastan Nakham" that compelled applause, and by the closing "AchryIbone" Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni's guitar was as crunching and gritty as ever. Speaking before the concert, Ag Leche had dismissed the ban on music: "Chaque soir, on chante." The Islamists – "les barbus" – had made a big mistake, he said. Watching Tinariwen back on form felt like a confirmation.

Many web CMS vendors and open source communities describe their web content management (WCM) systems as enterprise. But what does enterprise mean in this context? Are there web CMSs out there that are not enterprise? Does it even matter? Is it beneficial for organizations to invest in an enterprise web CMS, or is it just a fancy marketing buzzword that carries little meaning?

My grandmother used to say three things changed the world after World War II: the atom bomb, the birth control pill, and television. The atom bomb because people recognized that entire countrysides could be devastated in a matter of seconds; the pill because women could control their fertility; and television because people could watch the news unfold in real time. It wasn't just her either: It seems that most historians agree with this premise.
When we look back at the evolution of the web, what three factors will contribute to the birth of the next level of interactive experiences? Will we even be able to pin it on any three factors?
In my opinion, three interactive elements are driving the evolution of how consumers interact with brands online:
According to Wikipedia, "A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them." I think we're witnessing the beginning of Web 3.0 because video, social media, and mobile are contributing to a radical change in content consumption. Content is no longer limited to a site but rather is free to roam about the web. Consumers can morph content delivery by distributing a piece of content they like across their social networks in a matter of seconds. Second, consumers are no longer limited to one device to consume content, or even one location-they can consume at will in different formats in different places.
It's probably helpful to define what others think Web 3.0 will look like. While there's a difference of opinion about Web 3.0 (shocking, I'm sure), most people agree that this newer, improved version of the interactive experience will be the overlay of many different types of interaction together. We may be seeing the beginning of this new type of experience, as brand managers begin to create strategies for multiscreened and multithreaded experiences.
Multiscreened is when people consume content on different screens, such as when you watch your TV, while checking your Twitter stream on your phone. Multithreaded refers to conversations you have with different people on different topics on different devices. These days managing content online means contending with users' constantly shifting focus.
The popularity of YouTube and video online cannot be denied. Now that people can take videos using their mobile devices and upload them so easily, video will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Research suggests, however, that people will not watch a video past 30 seconds, which means that brand managers have to ask themselves some important questions about what video is truly capable of achieving in terms of growing market share.
However, it won't be YouTube videos that will push Web 2.0 into Web 3.0. That honor goes to applications such as Skype and Google hangouts. The ability to video-chat so easily with anyone in the world belies a depth of interactivity that will continue to push the collaboration experience.
Communicating with friends, colleagues, and strangers on a variety of topics will continue to make the globe feel more like a village. People I barely knew a year ago have become friends because of our interaction on social media. Furthermore, interaction becomes shaded and nuanced by the sharing of content on multiple social media channels, making it more crucial for brand managers who need to decide where to spend their time and resources.
Anywhere you go, you can communicate (easily) with anyone in the world in myriad ways, thanks to mobile phones, video, and social media. Mobile has changed the entire landscape of the web, pushing us into new frontiers by changing patterns of content consumption. Again, multithreaded and multiscreened overlays of interaction add depth to experience, opening brands to wider reach. Now you can reach your target consumer almost anywhere-but how do you break through all that noise?
Paying attention to your video, social media, and mobile strategies are a good bet, as users continue to push communication technologies to shift and adapt to fit into their lives.

Upper Deck wants to help in providing entrepreneurs interested in chasing their dream of working in the sports industry with the tools they need to open a trading card shop. Through our series of "How to Open a Trading Card Shop" stories here on the Upper Deck Blog, we believe we are preparing business people with the resources needed to not only get started in the industry, but to have success.
One of the most difficult questions new business owners have is with regard to insurance and what they should do there. We brought in an expert named Carrie Van Brunt-Wiley who has written for the UD Blog previously on the topic of insuring collectibles. We asked her to share some information on what hobby shop owners need to know with regard to insuring their shop. Here's what she had to say:
"As a current or soon-to-be card shop owner, you already understand the importance of thorough planning. You need to pick a solid location, smart business hours and have the right inventory for your customer base. However, even after you've thought of everything, there is always the 'unexpected.'
"Having business insurance ensures that you will be protected from those unexpected emergencies. Something as quick and unpredictable as a fire or a hail storm could be enough to cripple your finances. You can't afford to gamble on the chance that a disaster won't happen, and that's why it's vital to have some level of business insurance coverage.
"When factoring in the various expenses it'll take to open a store, don't forget this very important item. With a business insurance policy, you can receive coverage for:
- Business property: This is one of the most central types of protection for retail business owners. Business property coverage will protect the shop itself, your inventory and property in transit if it were to be damaged in a covered peril. Let's say, for example, a hurricane hit your area and rain water permeated the roof of your building damaging thousands of dollars' worth of sports memorabilia inventory. This coverage would reimburse you for your loss.
- Comprehensive general liability: Nobody ever plans on getting sued, but it happens. Unfortunately, these days, some people even target business owners with a lawsuit. If someone were to be injured on your business property, this coverage would protect you financially. Liability insurance will help pay for any expenses involved in a lawsuit including court costs and legal defense fees.
- Loss of income: If a fire or other covered peril were to damage your shop, this coverage will make it so you're at least partially reimbursed for lost income while repairs are being performed.
- Backup of sewer and drain: Water damage is the nightmare of every card shop owner. This protection will cover damage to your property including the shop itself and your inventory. Keep in mind that sewer and drain backup protection does not apply to general flooding.
- Computer property: Electronics don't come cheap. Assuming you monitor your inventory electronically, you'll need this coverage if your computer system gets damaged.
- Signage: Business signs can get costly and since they are also outdoors and exposed to the elements they have a greater chance of becoming damaged. In the event of wind, hail or water damage you want to make sure you have the opportunity to get reimbursed for your business signs.
- Utility interruption: As many business owners recently learned the hard way during Hurricane Sandy, power outages can cause major financial loss if business cannot be conducted as usual. Utility interruption protection will compensate for any lost income due to electricity, water, phone and natural gas failures.
"Protection won't necessarily be limited to these coverages, either. Will you have employees? Each state requires workers' compensation insurance for employees injured on the job. And you'll also need employment practices liability insurance in case you're accused of wrongful termination or discrimination.
"In much the same way that organization is key to selling sports cards, it's also the secret to keeping them safe. In the case of theft, natural disasters or other accidents, it's crucial that you keep a detailed inventory. Maintain a thorough list of your inventory and equipment. If possible, take pictures of each item for photographic evidence. If you maintain an in-depth inventory of your wares, which is also sound business advice, you'll save yourself a lot of hassle when you file a claim with your insurance carrier.
"Opening or running a card shop can be a great business opportunity, as well as a fun profession. Don't risk the opportunity at hand by skimping on business insurance. Talk to your insurance agent about the coverage you need for your business and realize that a few extra dollars spent now could save you a nice chunk of change in the event of a claim."

I'm Ben Hudson, a front end web developer living and working in Fleet, Hampshire. I've been in the game for about five years, working with multi-national corporations, SMEs, charities and all things in between. I specialise in building completely bespoke responsive WordPress backed websites, hand coded from the ground up. I tweet as @BennyHudson, and I take pictures of my dinner and my cat on Instagram.
So, thanks for stopping by. Make sure that you go and check out my portfolio, and if you want to work together, get in contact – it could be the start of something beautiful.
Freelancing, contracting, permanenting, I've done the lot. I'm completely self taught, having been thrown in at the deep end after landing a job at GAME after I graduated that I really wasn't equipped for. Thankfully, I had a great team around me and a desire to learn as much as I could about HTML, CSS & jQuery. I started out as an assistant online designer, and after a nice promotion, I left my position as the lead online designer to go and work for Electronic Arts. I taught myself more advanced techniques, and started dabbling with more freelance work on the side.
Eventually, my contract at EA came to an end, so I decided to throw myself into freelancing. It went well for a time, and I worked with loads of people and created so much varied stuff I'm really proud of. After about a year, I decided I wanted to go back to full time work, and so got myself a job at Volume. Working with massive clients and huge budgets turned out to not really be my thing, so I quickly moved on to pastures new, and now I'm proud to be the Digital Director at Brandtastic, working in a close knit team with awesome projects and total autonomy. Just how I like it.

An Ode to Mariah Carey's Gold Dress
It seems that the singer's wardrobe is stuck in the '90s.
-Betty's Poet Laureate
What has happened to you, our dear Miss Mariah,
You've turned from style icon to fashion pariah.
There's something about that which does impress,
You've managed to spend two decades in the same dress.
You got this ensemble when married to Tommy Mottola,
Now you need help rebranding, like Toyota Corolla.
There's just so much wrong with all this gold lame,
We saw the photos, shook our heads and said, "Oy Vey."
The skirts remind us of Launch My Line's Merle,
But generally speaking, it makes us want to hurl.
We loved when you rocked this look in "Fantasy,"
Because that was cool back in the day, circa 1993.
We also recall a similar frock worn singing "Hero,"
FYI: There's a pic on Wikipedia of you and De Niro.
(I must apologize for the above non-sequitur,
It's just random, you with this actor/director.)

Help support your Meetup
The purpose of this meetup is to have a source of information and classes relating to skills needed to survive in a sustainable manner. In other words, "survival" in the sense of - "survival of the human species." The Austin and San Antonio area are great for learning primitive survival and sustainable skills.
The subjects you will see here range from primitive skills (primitive hunting and fishing, friction fires, shelter, etc) and tracking, to plant medicine, (herbology) sustainable homesteading, permaculture, self-defense, outdoor fitness, Wilderness First Aid Certification, primitive engineering, land-navigation and orienteering, and a lot more. The general philosophy behind most activities is earth-centered. That is, events that help bring people closer to the earth and closer to self-awareness, in order to create sustainable solutions for the human race as we run up against overpopulation and resource misuse/depletion.
I (Sam Coffman) am the organizer, and post many or all of the classes and events that are related to my survival school (www.thehumanpath.com), which are held both in San Antonio and Austin. However, there are many assistant organizers who are posting classes and events that are separate from those of my school - although we all tend to cross paths quite often throughout the range of events available.
Feel free to email me any time via meetup if you have any questions. Hope to see you out at an event or class sometime!

How To Eat A Boiled Artichoke
The key question maybe how to eat a boiled artichoke? The Artichoke flower head often confuses people on the eating strategy. It is not one of those regular chop and eat kind of vegetable and can be consumed only if one is familiar with the method of cooking and eating this fancy vegetable. Once that is figured out then it is a delight to dig into this wonderful vegetable and go for the 'artichoke heart'.
Choosing the perfect artichoke is an art. The key is picking the right green, tender and not tightly packed head of artichoke from the market. You might find the frost bitten artichoke with scars on the surface or the clean ones with no markings. The scarred ones may have a stronger concentration of flavors unlike the cleaner ones. Some might prefer one over the other.
After finding the perfect artichoke chopping it up and readying it for the dish is as interesting as it gets.
- Cut the stem off since it is hard and you don't' need it. Use a serrated knife since the out leaves can be hard or spiky. You could cut a quarter of the leaves away with kitchen scissors around.
- Alternatively you can start peeling off the outer layers with your fingers by pulling it off the base until you get to the heart of the artichoke. Cut off the fuzzy tips.
- You can use lemon juice or vinegar to stop the oxidative browning process by rubbing it on the edible portion of the leaves before cooking. Keep the flat based artichokes in a bowl of water and boil for 30 minutes until it is tenderly cooked.
Once the artichoke is cooked you can set it on a plate to cool and eat. So how does one eat boiled artichokes?
- After boiling keep the artichokes out on a plate for cooling.
- Artichoke hearts are most popular so getting to the inner core is important. Peel away the cooked outer leaves until you get to the center of the artichoke.
- The tender lighter green part inside is the 'artichoke heart' and that's where one can find the meat to eat.
- Strip away the leaves one by one in the center and slide it over the teeth to scrape the soft meat off the leaves. Throw the leaves away. Do that for all of them until there isn't any left.
- Alternatively, one can dip the meaty portion of the leaf into a dip and pull on it with the teeth. A mingling of flavors happens.
- Then scrape out the fuzzy part called the 'choke' to reach the artichoke heart; cut the central heart into and use it for cooking directly.
- The soft tender, artichoke cooked parts can be used in pasta, soups or salads, either chopping them up or as big chunks.
Any way you eat them the boiled artichokes are delightful and a very different culinary experience altogether.

Anyone have a chainsaw I can borrow around SCS?
I need to cut down 2 trees in my backyard and need to borrow a gas chainsaw. I looked into renting one and places are asking about 60 bucks for one day. I live in st clair shores, 11 mile and jefferson area. Id come pick it up and drop it off and Ill pay for borrowing it and have my own pre mix fuel. Id just need it for a day or two. Id buy one, but I cant see me needing one again. I could use a hand getting the one down too since its leaning toward my neighbors garage so I plan on pulling on it with my truck to make it fall where I want. You can have to wood too. One tree is about 35-40 feet and I have already cut the branches off the other, it has about 15 feet left of it. Id greatly appreciate borrowing a saw and any help I can get. Id like to do it this thursday before I go to work at 8pm and unfortunately I work all weekend. Thanks, Steve

Yeah, thats my family in mexico. They own a tree service down there. It was my idea for them to use a boat trailer winch on the stout setup. You guys have to remember, trucks are worth more than guys down there, they dont care if he got hurt. Only that the truck now has a rain catcher

I've got a trusty old mcculloch you can use for free.
(of course it's in ann arbor) edit: Just dug it out, put fresh premix in it and it fired right up. Runs like a champ. Not bad after sitting 4 years. Last edited by SlayerXJ; June 10th, 2009 at 03:06 PM. |

I guess if you are this girl…REALLY BAD! What else would explain someone running in front of a zooming golf cart.
In reality she could have been trying to meet any of the Real Madrid players as they are training at UCLA for their friendly match against the LA Galaxy Or maybe she was just trying to get to class. Who knows…whatever reason she probably learned her lesson.
Got to love how the cart just stops for a second to see if she is alright, then drive away like nothing happened. Then again it is soccer, so they probably thought she was just faking the injury.

But the number one goes to Elesa's battle... How the hell can a challenger make those mistakes and still win against a powerful gym leader? (And how can he still do that after participating in 4 different leagues and a Battle Frontier?) xD
Hope they show us good battles in the Unova league instead of lucky hits by Ash.
