Docker Training
Docker is an open platform the provides tools to build, ship, and run distributed applications. It consists of a framework of tools and services that enables apps to be quickly assembled from components.
These apps are packaged in containers that can be run unchanged on laptops, phyiscal hardware or VMs. The workflow and tools used can eliminate the friction between development, QA, and production environments and as a result, IT can ship faster. Docker is a tool in widespread use in the DevOps community for these reasons.

Lets talk about tattoos, tattooist and price. Price should not be a primary consideration when searching for a tattooist or a certain tattoo. Tattoos are permanent so going bargain shopping really is not the best approach. Many different tattooist charge differently. The main factor that I think all artist can agree on is that time is money. Most tattooist will evaluate how long the tattoo will take to do and will price you accordingly. There are other tattooist that simply charge by the hour. This is a method I am not particularly fond of. I feel the client may feel ripped off or cheated with shop distractions that arise taking time away from the tattoo. If your design is a custom piece this may also cause the price to vary. The time taken for the artist to draw up the piece and make adjustments to the piece are all factors in pricing a tattoo. If you have a budget you are working with it is always best to let the artist know so that changes can be made to the design to better fit your budget. My shop Minor Ink Tattoo Parlor gets a large amount of calls per month with people asking for prices over the phone. This is really one of the most impossible things to do since every person differs in size and every image differs in detail and appearance. If you want a price on a tattoo these are the best steps to take. First, find a reputable tattoo shop. Second, choose a tattoo artist from this shop based on there work. Third, go to the shop and speak with the artist about your tattoo. Always include the size, colors and if possible get an image before hand similar to what you want to show the artist. Keep in mind that every artist typically gets a 50% 50% split on the work they do so only half of what your paying actually goes to your artist. If you absolutely are satisfied with your work it is highly recommended to tip your artist. We live in a society where everyone is trying to get something for free or cheap. I see it every single day at Minor Ink. People who want tattoos for less than forty dollars. If you ask a professional tattooist to do a tattoo for cheap this is an insult to the artist. In this city there are about a million unprofessional tattooist working out of there house doing twenty five dollar tattoos. Then a month later those same people getting twenty five dollar tattoos are at a shop complaining about there tattoos. Trying to get them covered or fixed. Whether you are getting your fist tattoo or are adding to your collection do not base what you are going to get on price. Scrutinize the work done by the tattoo artist. Tell you artist exactly what you want and how big. Choose the right person for the job and not the person with the right price.

As a feminist, I recall being called a "libber" 15 years ago and spending many a defensive moment focused on the unfunny consequences of living in this patriarchal society. Today I am more secure in my feminist vision of a loving, fair, supportive, nonviolent future.
Eleanor Smeal's remarks as she embraced her family ("I know feminists aren't supposed to do this sort of thing--but what the heck!") conveyed a sense of sweet amusement to me. Ellie's humor, lack of defensiveness and her quick and gentle acknowledgement of what too often remains the misperception of feminist behavior should serve as a measure of our increasing confidence and our progress.
Although we acknowledge that feminism is a serious matter, we no longer need to personalize that seriousness. We've learned how to poke fun at ourselves as well as our critics' comedies of error without demeaning ourselves or our commitment to feminism.
Having worked with Ellie, my husband and I count her as one of the brightest, dearest, most open-hearted and politically astute people we know, and we enthusiastically applaud her election as president of the National Organization of Women.

Joint Ventures
Many business owners speed towards a merger or acquisition without first contemplating the benefits of an initial joint venture among the parties.
Joint ventures are one of the most underutilized structures for helping a business grow, and may provide access to market segments that otherwise might remain out of reach. A joint venture is simply a contractual arrangement that serves a specific purpose, and may be just what is needed in the near term. Many opportunities arise from alliances with complementary, rather than competing entities. A joint venture can accomplish that.
One company may be great at producing products, but lack marketing savvy, while a great marketing firm might be looking to bring added value to its existing customer base. A joint venture would be a natural approach to bringing these complementary needs together for mutual benefit.
In comparison, mergers and acquisitions are often triggered by a desire to exit a business segment or by the need for a capital infusion to pursue opportunities. However, a merger or acquisition has permanent effects on the business and can be difficult and costly to unwind.
Because joint ventures are not an absolute necessity, they can be negotiated from a position of strength, truly striving for a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Many eventual mergers began as a "trial marriage" through joint venture agreements. More importantly, many companies have learned valuable insights through a joint venture that allowed them to avoid forever losing control of their business to a relationship that they would ultimately regret.
We invite you to contact our attorneys to learn more about how Kupfer & Associates can put joint venture arrangements to work for you.

The 15 Best Books I Read in 2016
Happy belated ChristmaHanuKwanzmas! I hope you had a wonderful holiday (or are still having it). The holidays aren't the only reason the last week of the year is a jolly good time. For the last post of the year, I always do a Best Of roundup---something I look forward to all year. So sit back and get out all those bookstore gift cards you got for the holidays because you're going to need them.
Since I read a mix of back list, new releases, and yet-to-be-released books, the titles that make my annual Best Of list aren't all books that came out in 2016. I judge books based only on the ones I've read in the past year, so there are likely other fantastic books that I simply didn't get around to. This list is a subjective compilation based on my personal reading experience, but you're here because you like my opinions, so here goes...
Out of the 76 books I read in 2016, here are my favorites in the order in which I read them.
The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez
Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
Crapalachia by Scott McClanahan
Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth by Warsan Shire
The Girls by Emma Cline
Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution by Mona Eltahawy
Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel
Am I Alone Here?: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live by Peter Orner
The Association of Small Bombs by Karan Mahajan
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
If I had to pick my absolute favorite book of year, Homegoing is it. Homegoing is a standout book because the space between it and my second favorite book of the year is a massive gap. This is one you don't want to sleep on.
Learn more on Goodreads.
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander
Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters
The Vine That Ate the South by J.D. Wilkes
This one doesn't come out until March 2017, but, trust me, you're going to want to preorder it. I'll post a review for you closer to the release date and in the meantime you can learn more on Goodreads.
As with any year in review list, I learned some things about myself and how my reading preferences are shifting.
For example, 9 out of the 15 picks were by women and 8 out of the 15 were by people of color. I have obviously read books by white men this past year---some of whom made this list---but the fact that only 4 out of my 15 favorite books of the year were by white men tells me that I'm getting bored with their stories. This makes sense because they've dominated the publishing industry and a lot of their stories have been told---therefore it's getting harder for them to grab my attention. And I imagine I'm not the only reader who feels this way.
It's also interesting to note that 4 out of my 15 favorites are nonfiction and 2 out of the 15 are poetry. In the past my Best Of lists have been dominated by fiction, so this shows that I'm learning to enjoy other genres. Considering how I started writing creative nonfiction myself this year, this is a trend I anticipate continuing in my reading life.
I'm technically not finished reading for the year. I'm reading The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead now and I've got I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson on deck. If I finish these two before the year is out and adore them, I may update this post to reflect that.

"I need deez."
That's what I said to myself when I saw this recipe. Actually, I said that when I saw quite a few recipes on Dena's site, Oh! You Cook! I was quite fortunate to be assigned Dena's food blog for this month's Secret Recipe Club because she pretty much makes everything that I want to eat. And because I'm definitely going to need that Chocolate Tart in a Macaroon Crust (for Easter, for the kids...that I didn't celebrate with), and that Lazy Lasagna (that I may be a little too lazy to make sometimes, but I have really really good intentions), and that Baked Lemon Herb Fish (I really need to make a fish dish soon because one cannot live on chocolate alone, although I seem to be testing that theory.)
After all this searching, I finally decided on the Cinnamon and Sugar Almonds. I hadn't "candied" anything in a while and I have been trying to eat healthier recently because ALL OF THE SUGAR AND CARBS HAVE BEEN VISITING ME! So anyhow, instead of making anything with chocolate or pasta (sadly), I decided that these almonds would be my gateway back into the Land of the Healthy. There's a little bit of sugar and a little bit of spice and a lot of healthy protein. So let's do this!
Cinnamon and Sugar Almonds
from Oh! You Cook!
makes ~2 cups of candied almonds
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white, room temperature
- 1 tsp. cold water
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 (6 oz.) bags unsalted whole almonds
1) Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside. You can also use a silicone baking mat if you have one.
2) In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3) In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until a stiff peak forms.
4) Add the water and vanilla, then beat until a stiff peak forms once again.
5) Gently fold in the almonds, making sure they are evenly covered in egg whites.
6) Fold in the cinnamon-sugar mix.
7) Turn the almonds out onto the lined baking sheet, in a single layer.
8) Bake for 1 hour, stirring and flipping the almonds every 15 minutes.
9) The almonds will be done when the cinnamon sugar coating is dry, hard and crunchy.
10) Cool completely. Be aware that the almonds make crackling noises as they cool! Store the almonds tightly in a container for a few days at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Review by Sean Bugg
Rating: (4 out of 5)
[Critic's Pick!]
Saturday, 10/16/2004, 1:00 PM
Feature presentation, $9 at Lincoln Theatre
THE TERM "on the down low" has picked up so much political baggage with books, Oprah shows, and conferences dedicated to the subject of "straight" black men who secretly have sex with other men. That's why it's unfortunate that the phrase serves as the title of On the Downlow, director Tadeo Garcia's extraordinary film about love and death in the Latino gangs of Chicago.
Isaac (Tony Sancho), a member of the Two-Sixes, and Angel (Michael Cortez), who's with the Latin Kings, are secretly lovers. When Angel betrays his gang to protect Isaac, he switches allegiances and joins Isaac's crew. While at first the two seem to be on a path to happiness, cracks in their world begin to widen, threatening their relationship and their lives.
Sancho and Cortez, both first-time actors, give stellar performances. They have an ease in their interactions, whether discussing their favorite cartoons ("Thundarr was a pussy!" Issac declares) or whether they would be able to actually kill someone. The film drags a bit at the beginning, as Garcia slowly builds his characters and situation. But things rapidly gather pace as the lovers hurtle toward an uncertain fate, and Garcia reflects that with a stylish use of angles, blur and other tricks that squeeze every bit of meaning out each frame.
Rough around the edges — not all the performances are at the level of the leads, a handful of clunky scenes, and some now-you-see-them-now-you-don't characters — On the Downlow is nevertheless one of a handful of films this year that simply shouldn't be missed.
Also playing is the short film Stand By , in which a director who is making a coming out movie inspired by his own life makes an unsettling discovery about his mother. With a deft touch, the story of Stand By makes it one of the festival's best short films.

#264 – Sizeon June 8, 2007 at 12:00 am
I have a little window air conditioner unit that I have to put in the bedroom window every summer. A 40 year old house and a 5 year old air conditioner don't play well together. Even though I do it every year, installing it is still an ordeal each time. I have to use all kinds of shims and screws and weather stripping to get it to fit correctly. I've almost dropped it through the open window a few times. I think the worst part is in the fall when I take it out of the window. I always manage to forget that there is some water still sloshing around in the drip pan and I get it all over my bed. 🙁

Christmas Message 2008
15 December 2008
from the World Council of Churches general secretary
"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory,
the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth."
(John 1:14)
"Glory" is a word, a shout, a song used to express human wonder at the majesty of God. When Jesus was born, angels ascribed "glory to God in the highest heaven" (Luke 2:14), and in the witness of Christ's life on earth "we have seen his glory full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).
In celebrating Christmas, we recognize the coming of Jesus as the meeting-point of heaven and earth, the means of healing our broken relations with God, overcoming our hostility towards one another and re-kindling our determination to seek peace in this world. "That is," the apostle Paul explained, "in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us" (2 Corinthians 5:19).
Reconciliation is a glorious message. It offers the promise that some wrongs of the past may be set right, the truth may be discovered in all cases, forgiveness may be sought and even ancient enemies may come to live together in mutual respect. It is a message of mercy and hope that reflects the great gift of God's love in Jesus Christ.
The United Nations has declared 2009 to be the International Year of Reconciliation and has called on societies that have been divided by conflict to adopt reconciliation processes in order to establish firm and lasting peace. Christian churches everywhere, and the World Council of Churches, are supporting this effort through projects and ministries consistent with the ecumenical Decade for Overcoming Violence; Churches Seeking Reconciliation and Peace (2001-2010).
We commit ourselves as Christians, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to this great purpose. And we give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the opportunity to work for reconciliation with men and women of good will throughout the world, in the spirit of the angels' blessing: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth, peace among those whom God favours!"
Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia
General Secretary
World Council of Churches

Four years ago, I had just come home for holiday break after my first quarter at Ohio State University. A lot has changed since then. For starters, the school has seen a new president, experienced a few football scandals, switched to semesters, and given me a degree and some of the best relationships a person could ask for… but what if it hadn't happened?
I remember that first night of college like it was yesterday…
I was bright-eyed and ready to leave home. I thought my parents were the worst people and I was ready to be an adult. How little I knew then!
That first day had been a year, no, my whole life in the making! I had applied to a few schools: Miami of Ohio, Bowling Green State University and Ohio State University, my heart was always set on OSU though. You cannot beat the size of the alumni base and Buckeyes look out for Buckeyes – even as a senior in high school I understood the importance of a good Alumni network. I got into every school I applied to and I think I made 400 pro-con lists that year in order to help me make my decision, but in the end I went with my gut. I chose to be a Buckeye for life, and I have never looked back.
But that first night at OSU, after a long day of unpacking and moving in, after my parents (who I thought I wanted nothing to do with) left, I realized that this was it… I was officially a college student, and I wanted nothing to do with it. I remember calling up my mom and telling her I wanted to go home, I didn't think OSU was the right fit and that I didn't like it at all, and I remember her telling me that classes hadn't started and I needed to give it more than 6 hours… and then she hung up on me. That was some tough love, but I needed it.
I hated campus those first 3 days because it was empty. I had decided to do a program OSU offers first-years called Ohio State Welcome Leader (OWL), you arrive on campus 3 days early, meet a bunch of other students from your resident hall and then on official OSU move-in day, you help your peers move-in. In hindsight, it was a great program to meet people before school even started and it got me to campus faster, and it was amazing. At the time, it was the worst thing for me. I had hyped up the size of the school in my mind and I was really looking forward to the hustle and bustle of a packed campus, but the first 3 days, with just me and one other girl on my floor that usually had 48+ college students, didn't feel like Ohio State should've.
Of course my mom was right, like almost all mothers are! The second my roommate moved in and the rest of the 40 some men and women on the 10th floor of Stradley Hall (which has since been remodeled) moved in, everything felt right.
That first quarter was… different. School was hard, parties were crazy, living with strangers was weird and I still missed my parents, but I wouldn't give up my time at OSU to leave and move home.
I remember my first Ohio State football game, it was raining and miserable, but we won… I think (I left early, homegirl does NOT do rain). I remember my first college boyfriend, John, we met in my Spanish class fall semester (it was over before I made it home for holiday break). I remember meeting Shannon (but we wouldn't become friends until spring quarter – and I never would've guessed that she would be one of my best friends, even though 2,481 miles separate us now). And, I remember staying in touch with my high school friends (it had been so easy to do that freshman year; no one prepared me for how hard it is to do that as you get older). I remember knowing that I wanted to go to school for communication, despite debating changing my major every single year, I am glad that I stuck with it – I mean look where I am now!
Four years ago, I was getting ready to come back home to see my family and my friends. Today, I am living with my parents and still trying to find time to get together with the same wonderful friends. It's funny how things can completely change and stay the same at the same time…

Make the prize something good, such as $50 cash or better! 4) Pedometer - Giveaway pedometers and ask attendees to come back when the pedometer shows 5,000 steps to get an especially nice giveaway. This type of promotion gets people talking about your booth, returning to your booth, and is a lot of fun! 5) Breath Mints or Breath Strips- This giveaway "speaks" for itself. Who doesn't appreciate (and hopefully use) a good supply of breath mints at a trade show? This is a great opportunity to help those that may have just eaten Doritos for lunch. Breath mints keep everyone feeling confident about their.. breath. Keep 'em talking. Enough said. 6) Fortune Cookies - Your cookies—your fortunes, be creative! You can put coupons in cookies, "predict" that they will soon have fresher breath (refer to #5 above), etc. Everyone loves a good fortune, so have fun with this one. 7) Hand Sanitizers - Trade show season is always in the middle of flu season, so take advantage of the timing and offer spray hand sanitizers. People will appreciate and use this gift almost immediately. This is an especially good trade show giveaway for health care industries. 8) Post It Notes - With 25 sheets per pad, your customer sees your name/logo at least 25 times. At $.42 ea. ($210 for 500 pads), it's a real bargain for the advertising power it provides. 9) Flash Drives - USB Memory pricing is often below $5 for 2 GB drives, and a very good giveaway for "select" attendees, or "winners" of booth contests. 10) iBasset Stylus Pens - With a price point under a dollar per pen, we'd be remiss not to mention the newer stylus pens. Our "signature" iBasset pen has a fantastic stylus and is sure to help your potential client improve their "Scramble" game (thus building significant consumer loyalty). Stop by White Dog Promotions today and receive one of these great pens! PRE SHOW mailings, Facebook promotions and Tweets are great ways to promote your booth BEFORE the show. If other exhibitors are potentially your customers, make sure to visit their booths and drop off a teaser to encourage them to stop by.
Seven Steps to a Successful Promotional Campaign
Successful promotion campaigns don't happen by chance. To realize goals, promotional products programs must be carefully planned, taking into consideration the audience, budget and, of course, the ultimate result to be gained. Ready to plan your next promotion? The seven steps below should help: 1. Define a specific objective. Whether the goal is to increase traffic at a trade show exhibit or to boost sales with current clients, the first step in any campaign is to clarify the purpose of the program. 2. Determine a workable distribution plan to a targeted audience. Distribution of a promotional product is as important as the item itself. Research shows that a carefully executed distribution plan significantly increases the effectiveness of promotional products. For example, a pre-show mailing to a select audience delivers more trade show traffic and qualified leads than simply distributing items at the show. 3. Create a central theme. Linking a recognizable logo and color to all aspects of a campaign, from promotional products to sales sheets to product packaging, helps create an instantly recognizable image. 4. Develop a message to support the theme. Supporting a campaign's theme with a message helps to solidify a company's name, service or products in the target audience's mind. For instance, to promote its services to small businesses, a bank created the theme "Are you tired of being treated like a small fish?" and sent fish-related products to its prospects along with promotional literature. 5. Select a promotional product that bears a natural relationship to your profession or communications theme. A good example is a company that developed a magic motif for its conference at Disney World. Attendees received magic-related products to tie in with the theme "Experience the magic at Disney®." 6. Don't pick an item based solely on uniqueness, price or perceived value. Don't fall prey to the latest trends or fads. The most effective promotional products are used in a cohesive, well-planned campaign. 7. Let us help you answer all of these questions as well as offer a variety of value-added services, including unique product ideas, creative distribution solutions and insight on the different imprinting methods just to name a few.

Strategies to Get Direct Mail Opened
Question: Can a cork coaster help open a sealed envelope? Answer: YES. A cork coaster mailed inside an envelope almost guarantees the recipient will open it. The "lump" it creates is too intriguing to throw away. Yep, it's true, a coaster is a letter opener. Promotional products are often used in direct mail advertising as "guaranteed letter openers." Put a lump in the envelope, and you can almost guarantee the recipient will open it. Add your logo to the "lump" and long-term advertising begins. Create a good, targeted, call-to-action mailing and receive maximum return on investment. Below are a few more "letter openers" to consider for direct mail lumps: - Mousepads - Collapsible Can Coolies - Notepads - Pens - Highlighters - Microfiber Cleaning Cloths - Digi Clean Microfiber Screen Cleaners - Custom 3M Post It Notes - Compressed Sponges - Magnetic Grocery Lists - Wooden Nickels - Letter Openers - USB Drives - Golf Tees - Jotters - Magnifier Bookmarks - Luggage Tags - Luggage Spotters - Keychains - Silicone Bracelets - Paper Flags - Matchbook Flags - Rulers - Nail Files - Nylon Drawstring Backpack - Wonder Mats - Memo Boards - Puzzles Want more out of your mailing? Give an incentive to visit the company website. Send a brain teaser puzzle with the solution listed on a special page of your website. Be creative! Who are your target clients? What would they use, appreciate and/or bring a smile to their day? Be remembered. Promote today!
Four Important Mouse Pad Considerations
It may seem mundane, but we have a few mousepad preferences that you may find helpful! 1) We prefer fabric mouse pads because mice tend to "track" best on smooth, soft fabric. 2) 1/16" mouse pads are great to mail (because they are lighter) and great for laptops because you can close them inside the laptop, even use them as screen cleaners. 3) 1/8" thick mouse pads are a standard desktop style. The thicker 1/4" mouse pads are now considered somewhat old fashioned. 4) Predominantly dark colored mouse pads are best, because mouse pads get dirty and people will throw away a dirty mousepad more quickly. 5) Mouse pads have a TERRIFIC, large imprint area, and full-color imprints are available for orders as low as 100 pieces! Round, rectangle or square, mouse pads may be the perfect fit for your next promotion.
Ideas for Cups, Mugs and Gift Giving
Look below for great "themes" and "stuffers" to use with logo'd cups, mugs or tumblers: ~ "Sweet" Business - Include your business card and an assortment of candy. ~ Thanks a "Mint" - Include your business card and peppermints or butter mints. ~ Great Customer Service to the "Tea" - Include business card, a tea bag or strainer, or a local coffee shop gift card. ~ We're "Speedy" - Include your business card and a can of espresso grounds or a local coffee shop gift card. ~ Take the Night Off - Include your business card, a mini soda can, package of popcorn and a movie gift card. ~ Empty Cup - Include your business card and a message that you'll stop by for an office visit soon to fill their cup - doubling the cup as a reason to visit. ~ The "Grow Your Business" Grow Kit - comes included with seeds, soil wafer, saucer, and growing instructions. Great seed ideas include "money" plants, forget-me-nots, etc. ~ And, YES, you can get the mints, chocolates, seed packets coffee and other "stuffers" imprinted with your name or logo too! Call us at 877-875-1144 for more ideas and prices.
Best Promotional Products Under a Dollar
Promotional products come in many price ranges, sizes and shapes. We're often asked, what are the best promotional products under a dollar? Or, which customer gifts are the most popular? Popular giveaways are good indicators of the current market, but are not always the best considerations when choosing promotional products for your specific advertising needs. We recommend our clients first consider: - HOW will recipients receive products (conference, tradeshow, open house, direct mail, leave-behind)? - WHO are the intended recipients? What would they use and appreciate? - WHAT information do you want to print on the product? - WHERE do you want recipients to USE and SEE the product (desk, car, refrigerator, carry-with-them) Answering these four questions helps develop a marketing strategy for your promotion. Some products are better suited for mailing; some have larger imprint areas, and some will be used in the kitchen. Where do you want to advertise and how are you going to get there?
Promotional Products Make Good Sense
Why add promotional products to a sales plan, advertising campaign or media buy? Because promotional products bring results! - Promotional products can boost response rates by as much as 75% according to a Baylor University Study. - The use of a promotional product in conjunction with a sales letter can increase response rates by as much as 50% (PPAI study) - 39% of people who received a promotional product could recall the name of the company imprinted on the item as long as six months after receiving it. (Study by Schreber & Associates) - Sales people who gave promotional gifts to customers received 22% more referrals than those who did not. (Baylor University Study) - Customers who received a promotional product expressed more goodwill towards the company than those who did not receive a promotional product (Exhibit Survey Inc. study) - According to a 2005 study conducted by Georgia Southern University, recipients of promotional products have a significantly more positive opinion of a business through: more positive overall image, more positive perception of the business, higher likelihood of recommending the business as well as a higher likelihood of patronizing the business. - Promotional products, used as dimensionals in direct mail solicitations, can boost response rates by up to 75 percent, according to a study by Baylor University.
Survey: Promotional Products Improve Recall, Expos
Promotional products are powerful advertising tools for their recall and exposure potential, said a 2004 study by Promotional Products Association International. The study found that, of the 77.1 percent of business professionals who have received a promotional product in the past 12 months, 33.7 percent had it on their person at that moment. Furthermore, the study suggested that advertising through promotional items is more effective with respect to recall than traditional print advertising - 76.1 percent of respondents remembered the name of the advertiser, compared to the 53.5 percent of people who remembered the name of an advertiser they had seen in a newspaper they read. The potential for repeated exposure was found to be substantial - three-quarters of the respondents found the products to be useful, as evidenced by the high percentage that kept the products for over a year. Similarly, 73 percent of respondents use the product at least once a week, while 45.2 percent use it at least once a day. Small businesses looking to set their promotional products apart may want to consider developing the informational aspect of their products - the survey found that only 1 percent of respondents refer to a received promotional item for information. Making a product a useful information resource increases the likelihood of repeated brand exposure, as recipients will be more likely to keep the product on hand for reference.

North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre
This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (April 2015)
The North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre (formerly known as the Mattress Firm Amphitheatre, Sleep Train Amphitheatre, Coors Amphitheatre and the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre) is a 20,500-seat amphitheatre located in Chula Vista, California adjacent to Aquatica San Diego. It is one of the larger concert venues in the San Diego area. The venue is currently owned and operated by Live Nation.

Area around the amphitheatre had previously been open fields and at one time been part of a large dairy farm. At one point the 72 acres where the amphitheater sits was a fully developed industrial park with terraced lots and utilities in place. The site had lain fallow for a number of years, when Universal Concerts approached the city of Chula Vista and won approval to build the amphitheatre. The industrial park was bulldozed and the site graded to build the amphitheatre. In the late 1990s, a development plan was created and a water park and concert venue were planned for the area. White Water Canyon (now Aquatica San Diego) opened in 1997, while Coors Amphitheatre opened July 21, 1998, the first venue of its kind in San Diego County. A month later, on August 21, 1998 the venue hosted its first sell-out concert with the Spice Girls.
All of the Universal Concerts facilities, including Coors Amphitheatre, were purchased by House of Blues in late 1999. Live Nation purchased House of Blues, including 8 amphitheaters and eleven clubs, in July 2006. In April 2008, the venue was renamed Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre after naming rights were purchased by Cricket Communications, Inc. In January 2013, the venue was renamed to Sleep Train Amphitheater after the naming rights were purchased by Sleep Train[1] signing a five-year naming rights deal with concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment for the amphitheater in eastern Chula Vista. On February 16, 2017, Sleep Train Amphitheatre was renamed to Mattress Firm Amphitheatre, to coincide with the name change of the sponsor company.[2]

The Amphitheatre features 9,468 chairback seats and 10,024 lawn seats. During the spring, summer and fall months it is used for most first-tier concert tours, due primarily to its capacity.

Bar Uriarte
My friend wanted to take a small group out for her birthday to a relatively "cool" restaurant that also had "cool" food to match. After an experience at Uriarte with my sister two weeks ago where I did not bring my camera (what a shame), I suggested repeating it ... both because I thought it fit what my friend was looking for (hip/trendy but also good food), and because I wanted to take some pictures to share. Like many restaurants in Palermo Viejo, Bar Uriarte is long and narrow. The open kitchen is in the front of the restaurant, right next to the door, and it's the first thing people see (and smell) when they walk in. On the edge of the kitchen is a counter where the well-presented dishes await table service under bright halogen spots. This meant that, while talking to the Maitre'd, my eyes and attention were elsewhere. I arrived on time, which apparently meant way too early, because I was the first one there. I decided to sit down at the bar to wait for everyone else to arrive. I ordered a Caipirinha and started talking with the person next to me who was also waiting for her friends. Shortly after, I found my friends walking down from the second floor staircase ... they had been waiting for me upstairs! After a few minutes of "you should have checked upstairs/downstairs" we were led down the long hallway of a restaurant to our table. Dark and comfortable couches line the front of the restaurant opposite the bar and kitchen, while the dining tables are in the back and on the second floor. Most of the diners seemed to be foreign, as they were either speaking in English or reading English menus. But don't be too concerned about the touristy vibes of the restaurant; your opinion will change very quickly once the food arrives.
We started off with some bread and a bottle of red wine. The bread was of three varieties: whole wheat, white, and country, none of which were baked on the premises. We decided we'd be ordering mostly meat, and since we only wanted one bottle of wine, we went with a Malbec, Tapiz 2005. Tasted somewhat like cherries. For appetizers, we decided to order 3 dishes and split them: Calamari Marinated in Thyme, Garlic, and Lime Juice, Veal Carpaccio with Capers, Almonds, Arugula, and Parmesan Cheese, and finally Sautéed Mushrooms in Olive Oil, with Pecorino Cheese and Toasted Pine Nuts. Of these three, the highlight for me were the mushrooms lightly cooked in olive oil which really brought out the earthy flavors. The calamari was close behind, with a firm texture and simple fresh flavor. The veal carpaccio seemed a little texturally imbalanced, as if the dish were half salad (arugula) and half crispy hors d'oeuvre. While I was not quite sure what the lemon was doing on that plate, the meat itself was indeed very soft and clean tasting, and could have easily stood on its own.
Main courses were equally satisfying: Braised Lamb with Roasted Potatoes and "Green Sauce,"Fresh White Fish Griddled, with Pumpkin Cream, Sweet Fennel, and Tapenade, Herb Stuffed Chicken with Barley, Bacon, and Leeks, and finally Veal Ravioli with Roast Juice, Oyster Mushrooms, Olives and Spinach. Despite the apparent absence of a mysterious green sauce, the highlight of these four courses was the braised lamb. The lamb was served with whole baby carrots, skin and all, which preserved much the raw carrot flavor, despite being tender from a moderate amount of cooking. I also really liked the griddled white fish; I've found it difficult to get a fresh cut of fish here and this certainly fit the bill. The pumpkin cream was well-spiced, and the nutty flavors complimented the sweet fennel very nicely. The lamb ravioli was way too watery, which can be seen from the picture. I felt like it was more like a lamb dumpling thin chinese soup than ravioli. Indeed, the flavor was earthy and pleasant; but, I would have liked something heartier with a thicker sauce that did not require a spoon.
No dessert this night; but we left that evening very full, and very happy. Despite the restaurant's swanky decor and intimidatingly attractive wait staff, the service was very warm and professional. This restaurant was a fantastic balance of innovative cuisine with well-balanced traditional flavors. I look forward to the next chance to return.

David Fulmer – New Commission
Elliott Carter – Fragments 1 & 2
Arnold Schoenberg – String Quartet No. 4
"What interested me in Schoenberg, especially in the earlier works, in Erwartung and others was the idea [that] you could make music that had the rhythm of prose."
-Elliott Carter
That Schoenberg is still considered "contemporary music" in many classical music circles is a testament to the enormity of his break with tradition. Despite the fact that over 80 years separate us from the composer's final string quartet, the scope of his influence is felt in no small measure to this day. We have a brand-new piece from Guggenheim fellow David Fulmer on this final concert of the series, as well as two of Elliott Carter's most tender quartet morsels. As Schoenberg continues to be a provocateur in our era, this program is not so much a conclusion as a motivation forward, to continue reaching for what is new, what is unexpected, and what is just beyond our grasp.
Join us for a post-concert dialogue with Northwestern's Bienen School of Music musicology professor Jesse Rosenberg and a curator from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Winner of the 2016 Guggenheim Fellowship, and 2016 Koussevitzky Award, David Fulmer has garnered numerous international accolades for his bold compositional aesthetic combined with his thrilling performances. A leader in his generation of composer-performers, the success of his Violin Concerto at Lincoln Center in 2010 earned international attention and resulted in immediate engagement to perform the work with major orchestras and at festivals in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and Australia. Fulmer made his European debut performing and recording his concerto with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Matthias Pintscher in 2011. That same year, Fulmer made his debut at Tanglewood appearing with the work. A surge of recent and upcoming commissions include new works for the New York Philharmonic, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Scharoun Ensemble of the Berlin Philharmonic, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Carnegie Hall, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Salzburg Foundation, BMI Foundation, Concert Artists Guild, Washington Performing Arts, Kennedy Center, Fromm Music Foundation, Koussevitzky Foundation, and Tanglewood.
As conductor, Fulmer recently led the NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Elision Ensemble, Sydney Modern Music Ensemble, along with appearances at the New York Philharmonic Biennial, Tanglewood Music Festival, and Lucerne Festival. This season's highlights include important debuts leading the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Asko Ensemble, South Netherlands Philharmonic, and assisting concerts and projects with the New York Philharmonic. Fulmer will return to the NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic Orchestra later this season, curate the Mannes American Composers Ensemble in programs of 20th and 21st Century music, and continue his close collaboration with the International Contemporary Ensemble. He made his debut appearance in 2014 on the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Green Umbrella series at Walt Disney Concert Hall. During the summer seasons, Fulmer has led concerts at the Chamber Music Northwest Festival, and Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival.
Fulmer was recently the recipient of both the Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Carlos Surinach Commissioning Award from BMI. He is the first American recipient of the Grand Prize of the International Edvard Grieg Competition for Composers. He has also received the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, the BMI Composer Award, the Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a special citation from the Minister of Education of Brazil, the Hannah Komanoff Scholarship in Composition from The Juilliard School, and the highly coveted George Whitefield Chadwick Gold Medal from the New England Conservatory. Fulmer appears regularly and records often with the premiere new music ensembles in New York, including the International Contemporary Ensemble, Talea Ensemble, Argento New Music Project, Speculum Musicae, the Group for Contemporary Music, and the New York New Music Ensemble. His work has been recorded by the Ensemble Intercontemporain. He has appeared recently on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and Live from Lincoln Center broadcasts. He graduated from The Juilliard School.

LeCraw's remarkably confident first novel begins seven years after an unsolved murder and explores the ripple effect both of decisions that may have caused the murder and its aftermath.
Cecil McClatchy was away on a business trip when his wife Betsy was murdered in their Atlanta home, but he was clearly a suspect. Months later Cecil died in a car accident and the case has never been solved. Now Cecil's grown children are spending the summer at the McClatchy summer place on Cape Cod. Daughter Callie has chosen to recover there after the difficult birth of her second child. Callie's brother Jed has taken a leave from his legal career to stay with her since her husband can only commute from his own career on weekends—an example of LeCraw's sometimes unconvincing plotting. In the attic Jed finds a bathing suit he knows was not his mother's but belonged to a Cape neighbor, Marcella Atkinson, on whom he once had an adolescent crush and whose college-age daughter Toni is currently working for Callie as a nanny. Soon Jed is at her doorstep in Connecticut asking why the bathing suit turned up at his house. Marcella, long divorced from her seemingly aloof husband Anthony, confesses that she and Cecil had an affair, that she knows he was innocent of murder because they were together. In fact that very weekend Cecil had told her his decision to stay in his marriage; after Betsy's death, he made Marcella promise not to acknowledge the affair to protect his children from further pain. Soon Jed and Marcella begin their own secret affair complicated by Toni's obvious crush on Jed. Meanwhile Callie sinks into dangerous postpartum depression exacerbated by unresolved grief over the loss of her parents. Every character feels guilt or at least regret, some with more reason than others.
Whether open or suppressed, passion rules events, but this is not a murder mystery; instead LeCraw reveals the complex moral and psychological mystery within all relationships.

Expats and migrants: at what point is life here home?
If you've lived somewhere your whole life, it's easy to have a connection with a place. To the people who are expats, life travellers, and global citizens, I ask this question: at what point does a place where you are based become home? To everyone else, what keeps you from leaving home?

The European Juggling Convention 2014 starts in Millstreet, Ireland on 19th July. They've made some exciting show and masterclass recently that has really whetted our appetite!
The Gala Show is looking great with, "contemporary weirdo", Matthias Romir, hosting proceedings. He'll be introducing the talents of Kyle Johnson, one of the world's favourite jugglers; Gail O'Brien, a dynamic and technical hoop dancer; Roxanna and her incredible foot juggling and trapeze skills; Swedish juggler, Patrik Elmnert; Cyrille Humen and his new act "Dive" and Florent Lestage who's mind-blowing juggling skills won him a silver medal at the 30th "Festival Mondial du cirque de demain" in 2009.
There's also a great line-up of master classes - a set of special workshops from world-famous artists. Most excitingly these include classes from Michael Moschen, the father of modern contact juggling, and Viktor Kee, one of the world's best jugglers and Cirque du Soleil performer (unlike other masterclasses, Viktor's require you to purchase a special ticket). Other masterclasses include contact staff from Meast, hoops from Tianna Zoumer, Gail O'Brien, Emma Kenna and Henna MataHoops, ball and bounce juggling from Marco Paoletti, aerial acrobatics from Fidget Feet, diabolo from Priam Pierret, poi from Ronan McLoughlin and many more.
Personally, I am more excited about The Legend Stage than anything else! This show will feature acts from, you guessed it, legends! Viktor Kee, Michael Moschen, Steve Mills - the inventor of Mills' Mess, authors and comedy jugglers Haggis and Charlie, Françoise Rochais, old-school diabolist and author Donald Grant and many more. It's hardly believable that so many greats and influential artists are going to be on the same stage!
There will, of course be the usual shenanigans of Renegades, the Open Stages, the "normal" workshops, the parade, the games, the Céilí Mór, an acrobatics area, healing zone and much, much more.
We can't wait!
If you haven't pre-registered already you can still get tickets on the door. Come and say "hi" to us in the traders' area. We hope to see you all there...

Last year Spotify launched "Discover Weekly", a weekly-updated playlist for users that would automatically pick out tracks that the company's algorithms thinks the user will like, based on their listening data. And it has been hugely successful - if not a little eerie in how accurate it is.
Today the company has announced it is building on this with the launch of Daily Mix - a series of playlists that will update every day with a combination of tracks that the app knows you already like, and others that it has picked that you might like.
In order to train it, new users won't get access right away - they'll need to use Spotify for about two weeks before it is confident that it can predict what the user will like. And the company says that listeners should be sure to favourite or "ban" tracks, in order to make its track suggestions even more accurate.
Apparently if you've listened to enough stuff, you'll get multiple daily mix playlist options - sorted into different "moods" for your listening pleasure.
It's a clever move and points to another strategy for locking in users, to prevent them switching to the likes of Apple Music: If you make the switch, the new service won't know you quite as well as your old pal Spotify.
To get access to the new playlists, simply fire up the Spotify app on iOS or Android to get started.

Who Needs
Classical Music?
Julian Johnson
Classical Music,
Why Bother?
Joshua Fineberg
Why Classical Music
Still Matters
Lawrence Kramer
Arnold Bax described a genius as someone who has, among other things, superior reserves of energy. Joseph Joachim, violinist friend of Brahms, described genius as "doing with ease what mere talent cannot do at all." We can all probably agree that genius requires exceptional intelligence yoked with creativity. For my money, idiot savants are a sentimental myth.
By these criteria, Richard Taruskin is a genius. Probably by most rational criteria. Can you say "indefatigable?" And his writing is scintillating.
But Taruskin's awesomely scathing and intemperate assault in The New Republic on musico-sociological tomes by Julian Johnson, Joshua Fineberg, and Lawrence Kramer does him little credit. His vitriol, entertaining as it is, tells us more about Taruskin than it does about his maimed and bleeding victims. And I say this as someone who has little use for Johnson et. al, and who admires Taruskin no end. In fact, I buy and read Taruskin's books, and it would never occur to me to buy the books he lambasts. But the viciousness and one-sidedness of his attack-piece may make me reconsider. Taruskin quotes from "The Sopranos", but after reading his latest, I want to quote from "Mash". There is a scene in a "Mash" episode where the fatuously moronic Frank Burns is "more sinned against than sinning". Hawkeye defends Frank. He is asked, "Since when do you give two hoots about Frank Burns?" He replies, "Just now, and it's only one hoot." Well put. That's just how I feel in this instance.
I plan on making more posts about this article, examining Taruskin's point(s) of view in detail (he's all over the place). The gist of the argument is that the three maligned writers are elitist, ignorant, out of touch idiots who want to preserve obsolete Teutonic-oriented prerogatives of taste-making and arrogant cultural monopolies of limited perspective, and impose these on some public; the general public? (is there such a thing?) The "musically inclined public"? They have allies in the "academic" "public", I know… probably the widest public Taruskin can mean is the public that shops at Borders and Amazon. But even this isn't certain. Taruskin actually questions Johnson, if not the others, in a moral sense. I also think Taruskin questions the sincerity of music lovers who admire certain styles (Arnold Schoenberg's style, for instance). This is infuriating. I am as moved by "Moses und Aron" as he is by Musorgsky or Shostakovich, and genius though he may be, he has no right to dispute this. He can't know.
Schoenberg once made a blistering and unfair critique of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, and ironicallyacknowledged in the very critique that his intemperance spoke against himself and in favor of the work. Taruskin doesn't have to retract his objections to these highly questionable books, just as Schoenberg didn't retract his criticism, but a review like this does the books a favor.
I should add that without Taruskin's inspired, and if I can put it this way, intoxicatingly sober advocacy for Shostakovich, my understanding for that very great composer would be much the poorer. But "That was then, and this is now."

Oops! The best celebrity wardrobe malfunctions
See Gallery
Some may call them the worst, but we call them the best. There's nothing like a celebrity wardrobe malfunction to remind the rest of the world that stars are just like us. Who hasn't worn a sheer top that may have been "too-sheer," or split a pair of jeans after wearing them in too much?
Anne Hathaway, Beyonce, Mischa Barton, Taylor Swift, and even Victoria Beckham have all had a slip up here and there. As seen in the slideshow above, it sometimes isn't very easy to get out of a car gracefully, or to make sure that one's low-cut top doesn't fall out of place. We've all been there, and stars have too.
Check out some of the best - and fine, we'll admit it, the worst - celebrity wardrobe malfunctions.

A lot of stuff happened last night on Smackdown. That's not to say a lot of important stuff happened – outside of a great Randy Orton v Christian match, and an interesting main event angle, most of the stuff was pretty standard fare. Still, it wasn't a bad way to spend two hours. Let's take a look:
The Good:
Opening w/ CM Punk: "If I was John Cena…" was a great opening line. While I thought his attempt at relating Independence Day to his own individual independence was a bit out-of-character, his focus on winning Money in the Bank was strong. Alberto Del Rio interrupted him about halfway through, looking slick in an all-black suit. He claimed that it was "his show," and proceeded to insulted America, Independence Day, and Dolph Ziggler. This gave CM Punk the chance to look intelligent here, by calling Del Rio out for his phony patriotism earlier in 2013.
It was an obvious a way to set up CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio for the main event, but it worked. Both guys looked game, and it allowed Smackdown to capitalize on the (rare) advertised apperance of CM Punk. By the numbers, but effective.
Punk – Heyman Backstage Segment: Heyman argued that Punk had nothing to gain from this match, being only 9 days from MITB. Punk ended up telling Heyman to just stay out of it. This segment served its purpose of furthering the divide between the two men.
The Usos def. Team Rhodes Scholars: Damien Sandow put over MITB before the match, and argued that Rhodes Scholars is not falling apart, contrary to what some people think. The Usos showed a lot of unity throughout the 25 second match. They hit a double-splash from opposite corners to finally put Damien Sandow away.
The Shield cut a solid promo after the match, putting over their unity, and planting the idea of Dean Ambrose "lurking" around with the Money in the Bank contract.
AJ Lee/Big E Langston Backstage Segment: After running away from Kaitlyn, AJ told Big E to get the car ready. He asked about Dolph Ziggler, to which AJ said she'd text him from the car. The beginning of the end for this power couple? Intriguing.
Randy Orton def. Christian: I really liked the backstage interview beforehand with both men, as it put this match in perspective (from their rivalry back in 2011), while also giving Orton and Christian the chance to state their case for Money in the Bank.
In-ring, these two got off to a slow start. After the commercial break, they amped things up quite a bit. A lot of great reversals by both men, and a good way to play off the fact that they've fought each other a number of times. Christian hit a sphere late in the match, and Randy Orton sold it like a champ."Vintage" Orton psyched up the crowd, and after one reversed RKO, he finally nailed the second one.
If you missed Smackdown, this is THE match to check out. Orton and Christian have incredible in-ring chemistry, and while this didn't live up to the hype of their great 2011 summer feud, it was the most entertaining match of the evening.
Dolph Ziggler def. Drew McIntyre: Ziggler cut an excellent promo before the match, commenting on how winning the World Heavyweight Championship was the biggest night of his career, and mocking Del Rio for his phony patriotism. Once the match started, McIntyre got a surprising amount of offense. He missed a running knee into the ring pole, which gave Dolph a chance to fight back into the match. Dolph hit the Zig-Zag and scored the win. Match was nothing special, but the overall segment clicked.
CM Punk vs. Alberto Del RIo (with Paul Heyman on commentary) ends in a no-contest:
Heyman, who had been ordered earlier in the night by Teddy Long to provide commentary during the match, added a lot to this segment. Both Punk and Del Rio matched up well inside the ring, and I appreciated all the subtle things both of these veterans added (like Del Rio's focus on Punks arm, and the way Punk sold the injury).
After things sprawled outside the ring, Heyman getting involved was obvious. However, I did not expect Del Rio to punch Heyman, or Punk to look so incensed. I liked the ending here – Punk helping Heyman makes sense since they're still friends, and it sets up a great next chapter between the two men. And while Del Rio ended up getting the short end of the stick, I don't think he loses much for it. Entertaining segment.
The Bad:
Kaitlyn vs Alicia Fox: Solid in-ring work by both of these ladies. Alicia Fox showed a few good holds, and Kaitlyn stepped up the intensity. AJ Interrupted and distracted Kaitlyn, giving Alicia Fox the chance to steal a pin. I guess it works to further the feud, but the segment just felt missable by all accounts. If you've seen it once, you've seen it a dozen times.
Fandango def. Justin Gabriel: Gabriel was just getting started before Fandango caught him with a kick and scored his patented leg drop from the top rope. It was good to see Fandango in action again, but this match did very little to convince me that Fandango is going to win Money in the Bank. These two could put together an interesting match. As it was, this segment was a complete throwaway.
Zeb Coulter/Jack Swagger/ Antonio Cesaro Video: Another one of the "We The People" videos, with the added bonus of Cesaro in a KGB hat. Coulter said a lot of hogwash about Americans not taking July 4th seriously, blah blah blah. Next, please.
The Ugly:

This is my "home" Flat Top grill location. I've been coming here for over 7 years. It is awesome for vegetarians and vegans alike. Great variety of yum-o-licious mock meats and vegetables. Excellent variety of sauces. They keep the food bar area very clean so there are not sauces dripping all over or contaminating other food bins.
Here's the protocol: the hostess seats you then you're greeted by your waitress. Place your drink order then you write your name on the little wooden stick at your table. Take the stick up to the food bar with you and grab a bowl. Go down the line adding rice, noodles, mock meats, veggies, nuts, sauces, whatever you like. At the end of the line, there is a stick for "food allergies" - add that stick to your bowl to have it grilled on the veg-only grill. Also, if you like roti bread, add the "roti bread" stick and they'll put one in your bowl. If you're like me and you prefer to have two or three roti breads for the table you have to ask your server for that. Put your wooden stick in the bowl so they know what table to deliver it to once it's grilled.
What I love about this place is they put the noodles, rice, vegetables and mock meats up front. There is dead meat served here too but it's at the end of the line where it belongs--an unfortunate afterthought.
Usually there is no wait at all, but on Friday or Saturdays nights you can sometimes get surprised with a long wait so you can't go wrong with a reservation.
This is the perfect place to go if you have a group of friends with mixed eating preferences. I also enjoy how everything is clearly labeled in addition to the fact that they have seitan as an ingredient.
One of the servers also informed me once that the Indian rotis (use a blue stick to have one added to your dish) are completely vegan.
Dawn Ressel
This restaurant is great because you can see exactly what goes into your food. They label all of the sauces that are vegan and also give nutritional info (calories, fat grams) for the sauces. You can put a special stick on your bowl that tells them know you are vegetarian or have food allergies and they will cook it on a separate grill. It's all-you-can-eat and a great bargain - especially at lunch time.
This is probably my favorite place to eat in Chicago. It's great for groups, because there are so many options that everyone can get something they like. My omnivorous boyfriend and I eat here all the time. We bring all our out-of-town guests here when they visit, and everyone loves it. The decor and atmosphere are fun, and the waitstaff is always helpful and friendly. It's not fancy, but it's a great place for a casual, everyday dinner out.

I am trying to think if I have a blogger BFF. And I guess I don't. And I'm okay with that too. I'm from FF by parajunkee.ReplyDelete
I don't think that you're "seconding another friend" when you have a best friend, I think that you're just have friends that you're a little closer with on different levels, than you would say a different one. I love my blogging besties and I don't know what I would do without them, because they keep me sane, grounded, and totally call me out on my epic ridiculousness sometimes. lol. Plus, it's a lot of fun, because they so encourage me to always step out of my comfort zone or support me when I need someone there to listen. :)ReplyDelete
Happy Reading!

Definitely not a necessity - you are right! (Although I wouldn't trade mine for anything - I just lucked out that I've known her for years!)ReplyDelete
As for seconding a best friend? I've had a battle with that in my personal life lately, so I totally understand what you're getting at! It sucks when we grow and change and while we still consider someone our "BFF" they don't so much return that feeling. (Ok, I'm rambling - I guess I need sleep!)
Jac @ For Love and Books (My Follow Friday!)
Hopping through. I don't have a true best friend either and don't know if I ever have but I do have bloggers that I consider good friends.ReplyDelete
My FF
I think the BFF is the friend with whom you have even more things in common, and who you could call at any time - day or night. Of course, that's a little bit different with a blogger BFF, since I don't call my blogger friends. I e-mail them, or chat with them on FB or on their blogs :)ReplyDelete
Have a fantastic Friday!

Just a friend would be good, not necessarily a BFF. Old follower. Have a great week.ReplyDelete

Excellent point about making about "best friends" and I totally agree. Saying someone is the best means others are not as good. Well said Amie!ReplyDelete
Happy FF! Old follower.
Cassi @ My Thoughts Literally
I love your answer.ReplyDelete
I don't think not being a best friend makes you any less significant. In my real life I call one person my best friend because of the length of time we have known each other and have been through a lot together so we share a bond but it doesn't lessen my friendship with any of the friends I've made over the years

What is DeckFinder?
DeckFinder™ is a highly accurate local positioning system that allows manned and unmanned aerial vehicles to determine their relative position in the most diverse and harsh environments.
An independent, precise and reliable navigation system like DeckFinder™ contributes to an easier and safer landing procedure in GPS-shaded environments, landing on moving ground, or in situations where proper reference points or visual cues are missing
A few centimeters difference could compromise and endanger a whole mission, when landing on an undersized helideck. In order to avoid such risks, DeckFinder™ provides a 3-dimensional relative position to the target as well as the relative heading which can be visualized on an additional flight display decreasing significantly the workload for the pilots.
How does it work?
Global Navigation Satellite Systems such as GPS & Galileo are enabling an ever growing amount of Navigation Applications.
DeckFinder™ works on similar principles as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), i.e. multilateration based on independent RF-based ranging signals. The user segment calculates its 3D position and heading in a relative coordinate frame by measuring the distances to multiple ground stations, of which the positions are known in the ground segment's body-frame.
The DeckFinder™ ground stations can be installed on any fixed or moving ground base. The distance measurements are performed on a proprietary measurement principle in a license-free RF band that is fully independent from GNSS. This measurement technique is specifically designed to determine the range between the ground stations' antennas and the user segment antennas with highest accuracy in a local area.
DeckFinder's Core Applications lay in the precise relative Navigation of Helicopters & Helicopter UAVs.

Dead Island is looking to be one of the stellar hits in 2011. The game is a RPG/survival type game.
Dead Island sees you play a survivor on a Zombie infested island, with combat emphasis mainly being on melee.
Today we see as a new trailer was released for the game, called "Part 2: Dead Island Begins". You can see this trailer below.
The trailer looks awesome and we cannot wait till its release later in the year.

Mura CMS Theme Development: Display Objects
July 30, 2015 by Ronnie Duke
Mura comes with several built in display objects such as Login Forms, Comments, Navs, Calendar, Gallery, etc. This tutorial will show you how to control the output of these objects for your themes.
Dynamic CSS Variables
With Mura CMS, you have many options to customize the auto-generated output for display objects. For example, let's say you want to edit the look and feel of the default login form. In your theme's contentRenderer.cfc, there is a list of all CSS variables that are used on these display objects:
this.loginWrapperClass=""; this.loginWrapperInnerClass="row"; this.loginFormClass="form-horizontal form-signin"; this.forgotPasswordFormClass="form-horizontal form-sendlogin"; this.loginFormGroupWrapperClass=this.formFieldWrapperClass; this.loginFormFieldLabelClass="control-label col-lg-3"; this.loginFormFieldWrapperClass="col-lg-9"; this.loginFormFieldClass=this.formInputClass; this.loginFormPrefsClass="col-lg-offset-3 col-lg-10"; this.loginFormCheckboxClass="checkbox"; this.loginFormSubmitWrapperClass="col-lg-offset-3 col-lg-10"; this.loginFormSubmitClass=this.formButtonClass; this.notRegisteredLinkClass="btn btn-primary";
If you ever need to figure out what variable is attached to an object, just open up the object's file and take a look. All dynamic references will be mapped accordingly:
<form role="form" id="login" class="mura-login-form #this.loginFormClass#">...</form>
This is a quick and upgrade safe way to add CSS hooks to Mura display objects.
Overriding Display Objects
While most markup is written to be semantic and flexible, there may be times where you will want to make custom overrides either via CSS or adding additional functionality for a display object, specific to your theme.
Note: Mura display objects vary in complexity. Certain objects such as Folders, Galleries, etc. tie into Mura admin functionality and may affect user experience if edited incorrectly. It is highly recommended to try all possible methods of styling via CSS before editing these files.
Site Display Object Folder
The default display objects are located in your {site id}/includes/display_objectsfolder.
Note: These files should not be edited directly. Any changes to these files would get overridden whenever an user does a site update in the Mura admin. To make changes to these files, you would need to copy them to your Theme display_objectsfolder: {site id}/includes/themes/display_objects/
Theme Display Object Folder
The display_objects folder in your theme is designed to be upgrade safe for Mura sites. Any display object file that is in this folder will override the one in the site display objects folder above. If you're looking to override files, they should be mapped exactly how they are in the site display objects directly. For example, if you want to edit the gallery, you would copy over the entire gallery directory into your theme display object folder and edit the index.cfm file from there.
Keep in mind, display objects can contain complex functionality, so exercise caution when editing contents and stick to just the markup tags without interfering with the CFML logic within the files.
From here, you should be able to do everything you need in order to apply your theme styles to Mura CMS objects.

Well, my self-imposed hiatus is over.
I'm back.
Yes, I've been away. Not away away, just... away, as in not online. Much.
But now I've found my way back to my blog, and I intend to visit on a much more regular basis. It is too easy to just let things go. Bad habits are naughty.
So now it's time to start some good habits. I plan to post lots in April.
Unlike March - do you get my cryptic post title? If you do - yay for you! If you don't - I guess I can say goodbye to a career in cryptic crossword clue compiling. hahaha. ha.
(That hahaha-ing is slightly sarcastic, as I wouldn't mind having a job of creating crosswords - and getting paid for it.)
What I've learned today: How to search for files in Windows 7.
(I'm doing a computer course - the first session I attended finished less than an hour before our Feb 22 quake. So understandably, they've been out of action for a while. The classes have been back on as of this week.)

Rather than choosing vague things I want to accomplish and then beating myself up when I didn't get around to them, I figured I'd choose things that I know are possible to implement in my life. Plus, writing them down will hold me accountable. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself, ha! That being said, here are the things I want to get done in 2016:
1. Graduate College!
This one may seem like a given, but it's definitely my #1 goal for this year. The best part is, it's one I'm very likely to accomplish. Let the countdown begin!
2. Launch an Online Business.
It's been a dream of mine for a long time to open my own shop. I've got ideas practically falling out of my ears, and I think it could be a really fantastic adventure. Keep your eyes peeled for updates!
3. Read at least 12 books.
This may sound like a simple task, but reading for leisure is something I've really been missing lately. Twelve books will put me at one book a month, which sounds easy, but will likely be a challenge during the busy months.
4. Quit Soda and Artificial Sweetener.
Yeah, okay. I've tried this many times. Diet Pepsi is my true vice on this earth, but it's really no good for my health or my teeth or anything! Plus, drinking water has so many benefits! If it gets really bad, I'll limit myself to one pop a week, but I'd rather quit cold turkey. It's been 3 days so far, and I feel pretty good!
5. Save at least $1000.
Though I'd like to save more, I'd like to save a bumper fund of at least one grand this year, just for a rainy day. I think it's a good idea, and I doubt anyone would disagree with that!
6. Collaborate with at least 10 bloggers this year.
I definitely want to reach out this year and collaborate with more of my blogging friends! If you'd like to collab, hit me up on twitter (@jssbckly) or email (firstname.lastname@example.com)!
7. Visit NYC again!
There's so much of New York I want to experience, of course I'll take all of you along with me!
8. Find a daily routine that really works for me.
This one is slightly vague, but I imagine it will take some practice. I've already worked out a blog schedule for this year so I think that will help balance my blog life and real life more easily. I also need to start eating breakfast every day, but that's another story.

That's one of my favorite tracks that I've done for other people."
