chinmi necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Our goal is to bring language learners from all over the world together in one place, so that we can learn from each other.
We will attempt this by building a simple website in which participants are invited to translate and correct sentences for each other. A point system will try to regulate the process.
Our ambition is to become something along the lines of a 'Wikipedia for translations', with speedy and quality translations for everyone.
You can find a (very) rough prototype of the website on http://www.translapolis.org/alpha
UPDATE : to be clear, we need a logo that does not necessarily include the name of the website.
UPDATE2 : we are more looking for a stylish drawing than a corporate logo
SUGGESTION : If you want to play it safe and still have a very good chance of winning : take the existing header, remove the city and replace it with falling leaves in black.
We are primarily targetting language learners who are looking for a new, simple tool to help them in their studies.
However, the website could be useful for anyone who is looking for translations/corrections, not only language learners.
Until now, we have been working under code name 'Translapolis'
Translapolis is derived from the words 'translation' + 'polis'. The latter is ancient Greek, meaning 'city'.
Although 'translation city' describes us well as a haven for language learners, we have been looking for a more simple and less complicated name. We have now decided on using the name 'Translets'.
***Translets are small pieces of text that anyone can translate (or correct). ***
What do we need?
Please take a look at the included attachment (header-citytheme). Until now, the theme of the website was the 'city' and our prototype header reflects that.
The *minimum* we need is a drawing / logo that replaces the drawing of a city skyline in our header. It can be replaced with anything, but obviously it has to represent what we stand for as good as possible. We suggest that the designer starts from the concept of a 'translet', and goes from there.
We would like it to be stylish, but sufficiently simple to not distract from the website (see prototype website).
The designer is free to take a shot at redesigning the whole of the header as well, as long as its dimensions are preserved (around 975px width).
Thank you and good luck!

- Manny Pacquiao v Floyd Mayweather Jr
Pacquiao to accept 45% against Floyd
Manny Pacquiao claims he will agree to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr on the basis of a 45-55% purse split, allowing the American the greater percentage even if Pacquiao emerges the victor.
Pacquiao and Mayweather have been in on-off negotiations over a lucrative showdown for years, with several factors cropping up to prevent them fighting. In what is seen as the fight for the crown of pound-for-pound king, it is reported that the pair may finally step into the same ring within the next 18 months.
Mayweather has previously demanded that Pacquiao agrees to random pre-fight drug testing, as well as a smaller percentage of the fight purse. The Filipino was offered a flat $40 million purse, which he rejected.
Now Pacquiao is insisting he will accept a 45-55% split, which is unconditional on the outcome of the fight. Therefore, even if Mayweather loses, he would still pick up the greater amount.
"Win or lose, I'll take 45%," Pacquiao was quoted as saying to his publicist by the Los Angeles Times. "Floyd can have top billing, he can be introduced in the ring first or last.
"He can wear my trunks. I don't care. I just want to get him in the ring and make the fight."
The report came 24 hours after Pacquiao had told ESPN's First Take show that he had "no problem" with Mayweather's demand for random drug tests. "Whatever he wants to do," commented Pacquiao.
There is some confusion over Pacquiao's comments, though, with advisor Michael Koncz later claiming the Filipino was merely saying he would stick to the original plan of 55% to the winner, 45% to the loser. That contradicts what Pacquiao is reported to have said.
A further issue may yet arise when it comes to deciding the venue, with Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum open to hosting the bout at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Mayweather, though, is determined to keep the fight in Las Vegas.

i don't see how newsLoadCompleted is called so none of those traces will execute.
2. Re: External CSS Styling Not Being AppliedSlateClean Jul 3, 2012 12:32 PM (in response to kglad)
Maybe I'm not understanding your statement, but all the traces execute. It's just that (and the traces executing out of order is probably irrelevant to the whole thing) the trace CSS loaded! gets output first.
The text file gets loaded--no problem there; the styling in the css is not getting loaded/ parsed.

Homeland's Navid Negahban And David Marciano To Return As Series Regulars For Season 2

TVLine is reporting that Navid Negahban and David Marciano have both been promoted to regulars for the second season of the Golden Globe Best Drama. This news means we'll be getting a lot more of Abu Nazir, Homeland's central terrorist played by Negahban. And the move makes complete sense since the last we saw of him the show, he and Damian Lewis' Brody were only initiating plans for the latter to use his new found influence to infiltrate the government. While most might call Nazir the series central villain, TVLine caught up with the actor who added that Homeland "raises the questions, Who is your hero? Who is your villain? And that's what I love about the show." It's like that old saying, one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

And newsStyle.css:
h1 { color: red; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } p { color: #666666; font-size: 5px;
LOL. That's it! I kept is simple because I had a feeling I would be running into troubles with code freshly learned from a book.....
5. Re: External CSS Styling Not Being Appliedesdebon Jul 3, 2012 4:45 PM (in response to SlateClean)
I test your code and in fact don't works.
I only can change the link color
color: #FF0000;
but I can't change the color or size of the text. the color and size is defined only by the panel control.
I created dynamicly a textFild but the result is same
Maybe is a bug, I tested this in Flash CS6
6. Re: External CSS Styling Not Being AppliedSlateClean Jul 3, 2012 5:00 PM (in response to esdebon)
Thank you for checking it out.
I hope it's a result of bad coding on my part, and not some bug in Flash CS5.5 itself, otherwise I can't build dynamic text fields at all!
7. Re: External CSS Styling Not Being AppliedSlateClean Jul 3, 2012 5:49 PM (in response to SlateClean)
It was all down to a matter of selecting TLF Text in the Properties panel!!!! In none of the tutorials did I read or watch was it mentioned! Oh boy!!!!!

The Indiana Genealogical Society's annual conference is April 28 at ACPL in Fort Wayne. Even if you don't have Indiana ancestors, you will definitely learn something new at the conference.
The featured speaker is Debra S. Mieszala. She is is a Certified Genealogist specializing in forensic genealogy, 20th century research, and the Midwest. She does genealogical research for the military to help locate family members of service members missing in past wars, and formerly did adoption-related research as a Confidential Intermediary in Illinois. A national-level lecturer and author, she has taught at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and been published in the "NGS Magazine," "The Digital Genealogist," and "OnBoard!".
Her talks are:
- Lessons From A Snoop: Collaterals and Associates - Crucial information on direct ancestors is often found by nosing into the lives of collateral relatives, associates, and neighbors. Case studies present examples of invaluable finds.
- Digging Through Documents Word by Word - Proper scrutiny of each piece of information in a document is essential to understanding that item's evidentiary value. Studying every word's meaning and context ensures that evidence has been properly analyzed and comprehended.
- Patently Unique: Locating Patent Records, Online and Off - Was your ancestor an inventor? Learn how to locate patent records quickly and easily. Patents offer glimpses of creative genius and add interesting stories to family research.
- Bringing Our Soldiers Home - Thousands of lost soldiers and airmen from past wars were never recovered. Some were missing in action, killed in action, or prisoners of war. Learn about the project that aims to bring them home, and how genealogy is aiding in that effort.
- What's New With FamilySearch with Michael Hall from FamilySearch
- Finding Indiana Records and Research in FamilySearch with Michael Hall
- Becoming an Expert on Using Ancestry with ACPL librarian Melissa Shimkus
- Writing a Book Using Family Tree Maker and Microsoft Word with Curtis Sylvester, President of the Allen County Genealogical Society
I'm looking forward to a great conference. Will you be there?
Disclosure: I am Vice President of IGS and served on the 2012 conference committee.

L'Epifania January 6th Treasure Chest ThursdayJanuary 6, 2011 at 03:46 | Posted in Advent Calendar, Amore di Italia, Carnival of Genealogy, Fun Reminders of Italy, Spiritual Walk, Treasure Chest Thursday | Leave a comment

Happy L'Epifania!
I brought these treasures home from Italy and Germany – I hate to even take them down, preferring to leave them to grace my kitchen year round. No – they are NOT kitchen witches, although often mistakenly called so. These are replicas of La Befana also called Nona Befana.
She was according to legend an old woman who was constantly cleaning her home, something typically Italian I might add! When the three Magi came by searching the Christ Child she was too busy. Then her heart spoke to her and she began to search too.
Now she roams the earth each January 6th searching as did the Magi for Him! Let her help keep Christmas alive a bit longer for all of us each season!

A lot of potential parents put a great deal of thought into having a child. There are work schedules to consider, rooms to decorate, toys to purchase and a lot more. For would-be parents in Chippewa County, there is one more item to plan around: child care openings.
"A lot of people these days are planning to have their children around when there are daycare openings," explained BreeAnn Bothun, the daycare/foster care licensor in Chippewa County.
A lot of potential parents put a great deal of thought into having a child. There are work schedules to consider, rooms to decorate, toys to purchase and a lot more. For would-be parents in Chippewa County, there is one more item to plan around: child care openings.
"A lot of people these days are planning to have their children around when there are daycare openings," explained BreeAnn Bothun, the daycare/foster care licensor in Chippewa County.
"We are looking at this as a crisis," said Deb Spaeth, community outreach coordinator for Prairie Five's Child Care Resource and Referral Network.
She explained that the problem is primarily in the infant and toddler age group, which is a lot more demanding on child care providers, both in the day to day practice, as well as in regulation; Day care providers taking care of infants and toddlers are not allowed to take on too many children. With a trend in recent years, showing more Chippewa County parents needing child care in that age group, there is simply more demand than supply.
According to the most recent updates from child care providers, there are 24 family child care providers in Chippewa County, and 272 licensed spots when operating at full capacity. Out of those spots, there are zero toddler and infant spots open. Beth Dack, a coordinator with the Child Care Resource and Referal Network, also added that, "Not all providers want to operate at full capacity."
Dack said that providers are getting phone calls from parents almost daily, looking for spots that just aren't there. One provider, Brenda Bakker, said she is personally getting phone calls every week. "Sometimes a couple of times a week, but it's always every week," she said.
"(Providers) feel terrible that they can't help these families," Dack said.
One parent facing the shortage of child care providers is Kari Santjer, who lives in Chippewa County.
"I found out that my daycare was closing the beginning of November. I needed to find daycare by the end of November. So, I went to the childcare reference and referral center and got the names of some daycares. I called every single person on that list ... everyone told me they did not have any openings for my current child or the child that was coming," Santjer said. "I was finally able to get ahold of one who was willing to work with me to get a variance."
A variance basically allows a child care provider to add one extra slot for a specific child, for a specific period of time. In Santjer's case, that time was six months. But, both Santier and staff with the Child Care Resource and Referral Network called the solution a band-aid.
"It will all depend on where (the provider is) at with their current kids, with their ages (in six months)," Santjer said.
As many providers are getting closer to retirement age, it is the hope of staff at the Child Care Resource and Referral Network to facilitate a better solution for Chippewa County, and the surrounding counties.
"I would encourage anyone who wants to start up a child care business to contact us," said Spaeth.
The Child Care Resource and Referral Network, which operates out of Prairie Five locally, considers themselves a one-stop shop for child care providers, and those looking for a provider. They can provide referrals to parents, resources to providers, grants to providers and training. They're also the place to call to get licensed. Locally, they put people in contact with Bothun.
The process of becoming licensed and ready to begin a child care business usually takes between three to six months, Bothun explained. Once an interested party gets in contact with her, Bothun sends over the paperwork needed, works with interested parties to get it registered, and makes three visits with the provider to check home safety.
"If they are really quick with the paperwork it can be shorter," Bothun said.
When getting registered, and once registration is finished, staff with the Child Care Resource and Referral Network, such as Dack, are always there to provide training and information, and when everything is in order, a new business is added to their referral list for parents.
Bakker said that it might not be the path for everyone, but she suggests parents who are expecting a child at least consider providing child care, and have a conversation with the referral network about the option.
"If they are having trouble finding daycare, maybe they could evaluate looking at being a (stay at home parent) to their child and doing daycare as well. That's kind of what happened to me. I've been doing it for 25 years now, and I don't regret being at home with my kids and being able to make money at the same time," Bakker said.

This pistol came from service with the Yugoslavian State Police in what is now the State Union of Montenegro and Serbia, and comes with its brown leather police holster and cleaning rod. The Soviets pirated John M. Browning's 1903 design and modified and chambered the new pistol for their purposes in the 1930s to replace their revolvers, then shared their milling equipment to entice the Independent Yugoslavs during the Cold War. This pistol is every bit as good as its Russian made counterparts. Several of thisM57's ancestors saw action against the Nazi Army in World War II. Zastava Arms began production in their Kragujevac Serbia plant for Tito's Communist Army in 1957, hence the model name, on Russian Milling Equipment. From this one's P serial number prefix, it was manufactured in 1972, a year of nationalist protests against the cobbled-together Yugoslavian State. Its only alien marking is importation stamps located on the left forward section of its slide, and required by the 1968 Gun Control Act. This M57 has moderate surface detractions, mostly holster whitening on the slide edges and palm contact whitening or browning on the grip frame front and back straps. We rate it as Good, perhaps Very Good, 70 to 80 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves.

Barrel length is 4 1/4 inches with full length steel guide rod; sights are blue steel dovetailed low blade front with u-notch high dovetailed steel rear; weight empty is 28.4 ounces with center of gravity at the trigger guard junction to the grip frame; grips are classic Soviet style serrated polymer.

Jan. 31, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Jimmy Bartolotta became the first MIT basketball player to surpass 2,000 career points as he scored a game-high 39 in a sensational performance on Saturday to lead the Engineers past Wheaton, 85-60.
Bartolotta and fellow senior Billy Johnson, who entered Saturday's game as the top two scorers in NEWMAC play, each delivered for MIT (14-5, 6-1). After scoring a season-low 17 points in Tech's first conference loss at WPI, Bartolotta responded with a 28-point first half that left the Lyons stunned. He shot 9-of-11 from the floor during the first frame as MIT established a 54-27 half time lead. Johnson added 15 of his 19 points during the first 20 minutes of play.
Wheaton (12-8, 4-3) surrendered the first 10 points of the game and had few answers in thwarting the Engineers' explosive attack. Bartolotta keyed a blistering start to the game as MIT led 30-13 ten minutes into the contest. The Engineers led by as many as 28 in the opening period and shot a staggering 68 % (19-of-28) from the field.
In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Wheaton sliced into Tech's advantage as sophomore Ryan Sasso got hot from the outside. Sasso finished with 12 points on 3-of-4 shooting from three-point range, and the Lyons trailed 63-48 with 10:55 to go. Unfortunately for the Wheaton faithful, MIT's bench manufactured a 10-3 run over the next four minutes to seal the regular-season sweep against the Lyons. The win also kept MIT unbeaten in the friendly confines of Rockwell Cage, improving to 7-0 at home.
Sophomore Anthony Coppola turned in another strong effort for Wheaton with 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting. Rookie Bruno Naylor also played well for the Lyons, going 4-of-6 for eight points in just 18 minutes of action. Wheaton played 15 guys against MIT's thin, nine-man unit, but couldn't counter MIT's sharp shooting despite shooting 49 % from the field itself.
Bartolotta delivered his ninth 30-point game of the season, while adding seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and two steals. Johnson chipped in seven boards and a game-high four blocks. Freshman Billy Bender enjoyed a terrific game with 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting in addition to six assists, four rebounds, a block, and a steal, while senior Bradley Gampel added a game-best nine assists and three steals.

The future of the Thomas Moran House, the Long Island Power Authority's answer to Tropical Storm Irene, and plaques and proclamations were on the agenda at Friday's East Hampton Village Board meeting.
Marti Mayo, the executive director of the Thomas Moran Trust, gave an update on the house at 229 Main Street. It is deteriorating, she said, with some sections on the verge of collapse.
The house, built in 1884 as the home of the artists Thomas Moran and his wife, Mary Nimmo Moran, was designated a National Historic Landmark very early on, in 1965, when the landmark program was only two years old. "Even the Statue of Liberty wasn't designated until 1992," Ms. Mayo said.
The house was privately owned until 2004, when Elizabeth "Boots" Lamb died. A trust was formed in 2007 to bring the property back to its 1916 appearance, which the trust deems the apex of its heyday.
The cost of the renovation, which includes structural work, landscaping, ground and water studies, and experts to match paints, textiles, and more, will be in the $8 million range. The trust has raised almost half that amount, $3.5 million.
"We're anxious to be a good neighbor," said Ms. Mayo. "And we take our responsibilities seriously. This will be a wonderful monument to this artist," whose famous paintings of the Western landscape led directly to the creation of Yellowstone National Park.
Having to negotiate the hurdles required at state and federal levels has caused a time issue for the trust. Ms. Mayo, who has been on the job since April, was "hopeful, no promises" that renovations would begin within the next several months, but wanted to know whether the board might give it another year to get fully under way.
"I think we'd be inclined to look favorably on it," Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach said. "But we would have to draw a line in the sand after that."
Bruce Siska, the newest member of the board, got a roasting from Hugh King, who graduated from East Hampton High School with Mr. Siska in 1959. Mr. King brought his high school yearbook and searched through it, chuckling, for mention of Mr. Siska in the popularity polls. There was none. "He did marry Mary Talmage, who was voted 'most sincere,' " Mr. King said. When the board asked which popularity contest Mr. King had won, he acknowledged, "best all-around."
Steven Tricario, a district manager for the Long Island Power Authority on eastern Long Island, introduced himself to the board as its government liaison. In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, the village had sent a strongly worded letter to LIPA chastising it for a breakdown in communications.
"I don't think it was the [fault of] the workers who came out here during Irene," said the mayor. "They did a yeoman's job. It was a problem of communication."
Mr. Tricario said that "moving forward, our goal is to provide safe and reliable service."
The mayor issued a proclamation to honor veterans during Veterans Appreciation Week, from Nov. 5 through Nov. 11.
There to accept the plaque was August Bouker, who thanked everyone for their continued support of veterans. The Veterans Day parade, sponsored by V.F.W. Post 550 and American Legion Post 419, will start in front of London Jewelers at 10 a.m. on Nov. 11.

When he hitches a ride with the enigmatic Dan, a man with his hand on the wheel and his eye on the rear vision mirror, he isn't quite sure what he's letting himself in for, but he came to Australia looking for adventure. Well, he wouldn't be standing on a back road with his thumb out if he didn't. Only Dan is something else, from a place Mick never even dreamed of, and as the pair thread their way through the torn, broken landscape, in a spiral of escalating violence, he teaches Mick lessons he never wanted to learn, and shows him parts of himself he'd rather never seen.

A major concern that has been raised about millions of newly insured patients entering the healthcare system has been the strain on primary care. How will our primary care system handle so many new patients? First, it is important to recognize that the uninsured already use the healthcare system, typically at about 50% of their need. So, that means for every 100 newly insured patients, it is like adding 50 patients into the primary care system. Still, that number will be quite large, especially for certain areas of the country that have a severe shortage of primary care providers.
This article in the Atlantic details many different innovations that are in the "experimentation" stage. The takeaway is that this challenge of caring for newly insured patients represents an opportunity to transform our healthcare system from one that reactively provides sick care to one that proactively provides 'health' care.

As you may recall from right before the busy holiday season, all 94 Performance stores served as receiving centers for food donations for an array of local food banks. Our stores accepted a variety of non-perishable food items, including any kind of canned food or pasta, and dry foods such as cereal and rice that were sealed and packaged.
This was our second consecutive year with a holiday food drive, and our goal was the same–to collect as much food as we possibly could. These donations of non-perishable food items really make a difference for those in need, especially during this time of year, and by partnering with local food banks these food donations go directly back to the communities that we are a part of.
Last year, with the help of everyone who donated, we collected nearly three tons of food. But this year we really stepped up our efforts and are proud to announce that we collected a total of 16,890 lbs of food! That's nearly 8 1/2 tons of food, all from fellow cyclists like you!
So we say thank you to everyone who was able to bring in a non-perishable food donation to one of our stores. Your generosity will really make a difference in your community.

WASHINGTON -- A draft executive order directs U.S. spy agencies to share the latest intelligence about cyberthreats with the companies operating electric grids, water plants, railroads and other vital industries in order to protect them from electronic attacks.
The order is taking shape as the Obama administration voices growing concern that Iran could be the first country to use cyberterrorism against the United States.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned that the military is ready to retaliate if the U.S. is hit by cyberweapons. But the country is poorly prepared to prevent an attack that could damage or knock out critical services that are part of everyday life.
The White House declined to say when the president will sign the order. Congress failed this summer to pass cybersecurity legislation.

The team is led by seniors Christen Campbell, Lauren Dortwegt, Alaina Jacobson, Abby Keese and Kellie Sirus along with Christy Grisham. But the sophomore class, particularly Courtney Billington, Whitney Kiihnl and Mollie Mitchell, is also making a big impact on the team.
"We are losing a great group of seniors this year, but we aren't losing everything," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "We are losing a big chunk, but we aren't losing everything.
"We had high expectations for that class when they started here as freshmen. They have blended in so well with our older girls."
The Lady Bisons, 25-7, 4-0, are in Florida this weekend to face Jacksonville Friday at 4 and North Florida Saturday at 1 in Atlantic Sun doubleheaders. the doubleheader with North Florida has been designated as the "Series of the Week" by the conference office. The Lady Bisons are the only team that has not lost a conference game.
Kiihnl, a right-handed starting pitcher, is the anchor of the team's success. She has been honored as the Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Week three times this season. She has thrown seven shutouts, including one perfect game. She is fifth in the nation in shutouts and seventh in earned run average. She is first in NCAA Division I in hits allowed per seven innings (1.97).
Kiihnl is second in the conference in earned run average with a .72 and has a 17-2 record.
"Whitney played in the same summer organization that Christen Campbell played for," Ryman said. "She took lessons from the same pitching coach as Campbell."
Rose Kalisack, the pitching coach, told Ryman about Kiihnl. At the time only Mississippi schools were recruiting her.
"Whitney is a Church of Christ member," Ryman said. "She knew about Lipscomb. She narrowed it to us and Mississippi State. I think she came here and felt comfortable in this environment.
"She is like Courtney. She doesn't say a whole lot. She wasn't her best as a high school pitcher until her senior year and won several awards in Mississippi. I knew Whitney had all of the tools to be great at this level. As good as she was last year for us, she is even better this season."
Kiihnl was named Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year last season and was a unanimous selection to the All-Freshman Team. Billington made the move this season from second base to shortstop. She is tied for the conference in doubles with 12. She leads the A-Sun in sacrifice bunts with 10.
"Courtney was such a good athlete coming in here," Ryman said. "She was a little under the radar from a recruiting standpoint. A lot of people saw her, but they didn't think ahead to the potential she had.
"From the first moment I saw her play I thought she was great athlete. She didn't do everything right, but most incoming freshman don't. I saw that she had power potential at the plate. She brought a lot of speed. She could cover a lot of ground in the middle infield."
Ryman used Billington more in the outfield than the infield as a freshman. As the season progressed she moved to second base. Billington was named to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team.
"Courtney is not one who is really going to say a whole lot," Ryman said. "She leads a little bit more by her actions. She is becoming a little bit more vocal.
"But she is so unassuming about what she does. She just goes out and does what she is supposed to do."
Mitchell has been the starting catcher since her freshman season. She is 10th overall in the conference in hitting with a .337 average. Last season she was a unanimous selection for the A-Sun All-Freshman Team.
"Mollie was similar to Courtney," Ryman said. "I felt like Mollie was a great athlete and I felt like she was overlooked a little bit. She has a great work ethic. She has a great personality. She has a great family. She is also a Church of Christ member so I knew she would be a good fit.
"I remember watching her play and thinking that she was so raw. But she had the arm and the athleticism. Those are the two things that are really tough to teach at that next level. I felt like she had potential as a hitter. I knew she could hit with some power."
Rounding out the sophomore class are Vanessa Medina, who had a started the season strong before being sidelined with a knee injury and outfielder Caroline Mason, also sidelined for the near future with a head injury. Mason rounded out the selections to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team last season.
"Hopefully, we don't lose both Vanessa and Caroline for an extended period of time," Ryman said. "We hate to lose Vanessa because she started out so hot at the plate.
"We knew Caroline could come in and compete right away last season especially as a hitter. She is unique in that she is an outfielder who is more of a power hitter. Most outfielders are speedy kids. She had been a lead-off hitter in high school and was a left fielder. But she has such a strong arm. We were working with her this season almost exclusively in right field."
A-Sun Leaders: Keese leads the conference in hitting with a .388 average. Kiihnl is second with a .373 average. Keese is also first in total bases with 67. She is second in slugging percentage (.684) and hits (38), third in on base percentage (.440), tied for third in home runs (7) and tied for seventh in runs batted in with 21.
Sirus is first in runs scored (23). She is third in slugging percentage (.670) and tied for third in RBI (23). She is tied for fourth in total bases (59). Sirus is fifth in on base percentage (.425) and tied for fifth in home runs with six.
Dortwegt is second in runs scored with 26.
Kiihnl is first in opposing batting average (.088). She is second in wins (17) and third in strikeouts (183). She is fourth in appearances (22) and fifth in innings pitched (116.1).

Ram Runner Butts In on Raptor DomainPosted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2011
People are different. Short or tall, fat or skinny, hairy or bald, Ford or Chevy. The same goes for all us off-roaders. Some like mud, some like rocks, and some like the throttle-down, big-air, pedal-to-the-metal wheeling you mostly find in the desert and dunes. For you prerunner type wheelers there are many options, from bolt-on long-travel IFS kits under Toyota mini-trucks to dealer floor Raptors. But what if you're a Dodge guy? Then you, my friend, need a Ram Runner.
Ram Trucks (the automaker prefers Ram to Dodge these days) and Mopar, the performance and replacement parts division of Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep, have developed an exciting new suspension and body kit that will take your '09 and newer Dodge—er, Ram—1500 and transform it into a Raptor-fighting prerunner that any tattooed, flatbill-hatted, black-socked desert four-wheeler would envy.
The goal at Mopar was simple: Take the great-riding, rear-coil-sprung 1500 4x4 truck and give it the wheel travel and control needed to bomb over desert whoops and off sandy dunes with the best of the competition.
We recently went to the top secret Mopar laboratory in Michigan to watch the installation of a Ram Runner kit and then had a chance to drive the same truck (emblazoned with Mopar logos) at the Moab Easter Safari.
Sheep With Horns vs. Bird With Claws
Which would you choose: Raptor or Ram Runner? This is a debate better left for an actual in-the-dirt test to answer, but until then we'll bench race.
First, who developed these two trucks?
The Raptor was developed by Ford's SVT division. Basically a bunch of performance car guys built a truck, but they do have all of Ford's engineering behind them and tons of in-the-dirt testing.
The Ram Runner was developed in collaboration with Mopar-sponsored desert racers from Kore Suspension. This means the Ram Runner probably has less high-tech engineering and less overall testing, but more desert racing experience. Seems like a tie in our book.
Second, which one costs more?
The Raptor, according to Ford.com, starts at $42,060.
The Ram Runner parts are $17,900, plus tires and wheels, paint to match fenders, and the cost of a truck. We found a regular cab Ram Tradesman 1500 with a 5.7L V-8 and short bed for $24,485 or a Quad Cab ST short bed 4x4 with the 5.7L V-8 and Anti-Spin rear differential for $28,510 on Ram's site (www.ramtrucks.com).
In either case, the Raptor is cheaper and is offered with a higher-grade interior, plus there is the tricky question of warranty. Our understanding is that Mopar off-road performance parts are not covered by the vehicle warranty the way Raptor factory suspension parts are.
Finally, what about performance?
We can only judge based on OEM-supplied numbers, but we are told the Raptor has 11 inches of front and 13 inches of rear wheel travel. The Ram Runner has 14 inches both front and rear. Win: Ram.
The Raptor is available with a 320-horse 5.4L or 411-horse 6.2L V-8 engine. The Ram 1500 can be had with a 215-horse 3.7L V-6, a 310-horse 4.7L V-8, or a 390-horse 5.7L V-8. Of course, you pay to play in purchase and fuel prices accordingly. Tie.
The Raptor has a selectable rear locker and special engine calibration for off-road performance. The Ram 1500 has Ram's standard calibration and is available with an automatic antispin rear limited-slip differential. Win: Raptor
All considered, performance is close between these two based solely on book specs. Let us know if you think we should round up a pair and take them for a showdown in the desert.
One last thing: Hey, Chevy, Toyota, and Nissan, where are your desert trucks?

text: After hearing about Kevin Rose cheaping out on a home theater system, I started wondering what percentage of average folk have a setup in their own home. Then I remembered research that suggested as many as 50% of home theater buyers don't set up their rear surround speakers. So the question here is two-fold: do you have a home theater system and if so, was it professionally installed?


text: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 FDA Proposes Guidelines for Medical Apps The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed guidelines that outline the small number of mobile apps the agency plans to oversee—medical apps that could present a risk to patients if the apps do not work as intended. The agency has already cleared a handful of mobile medical apps used by health care professionals, such as a smartphone-based ultrasound app and an app for iPhones and iPads that allows physicians to view medical images and x-rays. The agency now is proposing to oversee mobile medical apps that are used as an accessory to an FDA-regulated medical device, such as an app that could enable a health care professional to view medical images on an iPad and make a diagnosis. The guidelines also would cover apps that transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device. An example would be an app that turns a smartphone into an electrocardiography, or ECG, machine to detect abnormal heart rhythms or determine if a patient is experiencing a heart attack. Comments on the guidelines will be accepted until October 19. For more information, visit FDA's Mobile Medical Apps page.

Put simply, a Bindrune is an amalgam of two or more runes joined by the 'stalks' that takes on the properties of all runes involved. Bindrunes may be as simple or as complex as one wishes, however the more complex, the more concentration is required to 'forge' the rune successfully.
Bindrunes were also used in many scripts and writings that remain to this day on standing stones and found objects. They were often used to save space or time when carving the script or to represent the name of either themselves or another. Which now brings me to personal Bindrunes.
A personal Bindrune is made up of the first sound in one's First, Middle and Last names. As an example, my personal Bindrune is made up of Ehwaz, Mannaz and Wunjo. How you join these runes together is entirely up to you. No two will ever be the same.
So go ahead and try your hand at forging your own personal Bindrunes! Have fun! I have provided my very own tune translation table below.

The sailboat involved in Monday's crash on rocks near Union Bay wasn't the first time it caught the attention of Comox Valley Marine Rescue.
In Monday's incident, CVMR aided in the rescue of one man and the recovery of a woman's body.
CVMR station leader Jim Linderbeck said marine rescue volunteers have assisted with the sailboat and owner Dylan Jordan numerous times.
On Nov. 17, CVMR was tasked with bringing Away We Go back to the Comox harbour after it broke lose and drifted down the harbourway and ran aground on Beach Drive in Comox.
Less than two weeks later, on Nov. 30, the boat broke away from a sailpost in the Courtenay estuary by the 17th Street Bridge and was pushed out to the middle of the river.
Linderbeck said CVMR was tasked with bringing the boat back to shore, while RCMP were called to the scene.
"The wind got up and there was a high-flow (water) release from BC Hydro," he explained. "The boat was creeping into mid-stream and the bow was pointing upstream. When the boat started pushing out, the vessel was at a 45-degree angle from shore and pointing up the river."
He added RCMP members yelled and threw rocks at the vessel, in hopes of getting the attention of the man on board.
"The man eventually appeared and was unco-operative. He was handcuffed and taken away from shore," said Linderbeck.
He added they were alerted another person could be on board, and eventually woke up a woman sleeping under a pile of blankets.
There was ankle-deep water in the 27-foot sailboat, which was valued around $10,000, he noted, and CVMR deployed their dewatering pumps.
On Jan. 7, CVMR was tasked again to the Union Bay area to assist the boat as it ran around near Argyle Road.
"When we got on scene, the Cormorant (helicopter) was already there. The fellow was coming out of the water and the lady was being put on a stretcher," Linderbeck explained. "The boat was on its side, and we searched the boat to make sure nobody else was on board."
He added Away We Go was not in good condition at the time of the incident and the man was incoherent and unco-operative.
"That fellow should never have been allowed to take that boat out in the water," Linderbeck noted.
RCMP note both people in Monday's accident were transported by ambulance to St. Joseph's General Hospital in Comox. The woman, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The man was released and is not in police custody.
Currently, the boat is resting in the water near the rocks where it ran aground, and contents could be seen floating in the water.
The CVMR and Station 60 Comox is a volunteer-run service to provide marine search and rescue to commercial, recreational and tourist users of the waters surrounding the Comox Valley.
They are trained to Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary training standards, and are on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist someone in distress.

The Ambroisie
Last week, my chocolate supplier was nice enough to let me try some of the pistachio paste that they carry. It was only a little tub of about 40g and I wanted to make something special with it. My eyes fell onto the cover of Mr. Sugino's book, which migrates between the coffee table and my bedside table on a regular basis. On it is his signature dessert and one of my all time favorites, the Ambroisie.
I had it once at Idemi and never forgot the taste. I don't often order chocolate mousse desserts because most of the times the chocolate is so heavy and sweet that half way through I find myself wishing I'd picked something lighter instead. Not Mr. Sugino's Ambroisie. It was the perfect lightness and sweetness to allow the pistachio flavors to shine through. So it was decided. That's how I will do with the pistachio paste.
The Ambroisie is made up of chocolate joconde biscuit, pistachio joconde biscuit, pistachio mousse and raspberry jam encased in chocolate mousse, with a layer of chocolate glaze covering it all up. It took me two days to scale down the recipe and figure out the logistics (making sure which flat trays will go horizontally into the freezer and measuring out the various ring molds I own to calculate the correct amount of ingredients took a while, and overcoming my procrastination/performance anxiety took its own fair share of time too). I didn't want to rush myself and fail because I knew that would just completely crush me and it would take me forever to regain confidence to try another of his recipes. So I gave myself plenty of time. On day one I baked the two different kinds of joconde and made the chocolate petals that would go around the cake. Day two saw me making the mousses, assembling the cakes and putting them into the freezer to harden overnight. Day three was the day that we were due at a friend's house for afternoon tea and chocolate fondue so that morning I made the glaze, poured it over the cakes, stuck the chocolate petals around and dotted the center of cake with a tiny piece of gold leaf. The only step I skipped was making my own raspberry jam and I followed Mr. Sugino's recipe to a T.
I had a momentary insanity attack when I was making the chocolate glaze. I measured out 11g of gelatin and somehow felt that it was too much and decided to use only half. The resulting glaze was runny despite cooling it to a dangerously low temperature, but I poured it onto the cakes anyway. Instead of clinging onto the sides, most of it ran right off. Seeing two days of hard work going down the drain, I gathered up my wits and poured the pool of ran-off glaze into a bowl, reconstituted the gelatin leaves that I left out, melted it in a water bath, added them into the glaze and re-poured it over the cakes. This time, it stuck. I don't know what I was thinking doubting the glaze recipe in the first place. If the master of use-almost-no-gelatin-so-the-texture-stays-so-light-that-they-are-not-fit-for-travel says 11g of gelatin is needed for the glaze, then 11g it is. Not one gram less! Geeze!
Disaster averted, now I had time to sit back and admire the Ambroisie. They turned out almost identical in appearance to the ones at Idemi, except not all of my chocolate petals turned out well so I had only three petals per cake vs. Idemi's four. Flavor-wise, the chocolate mousse was light as a cloud, due to the pâte a bombe and the absence of gelatin (it was held up purely on the strength of the chocolate and the power of my praying/finger-crossing/will power). I did add 50% more gelatin in the pistachio mousse, which resulted in a somewhat denser texture by Idemi standard. The pistachio paste I got from the supplier was not the brown pure ground-up pistachio that I favor. Instead it was a pistachio praline paste, made from caramelized pistachio and had a distinct alcohol/almond aroma. I had doubts about it because of the strong smell but after baking it into the joconde and cooking it into a crème Anglaise, the smell was not detectable. I did have a problem with the flavor, however. I should've used more pistachio than the recipe called for to counter the fact that the paste was not 100% pure pistachio. At Idemi I remember the pistachio flavor was quite distinct, but in my recreation with the pistachio praline paste, it was more subtle. You could tell it was there, but it could barely hold its own against the chocolate. Next time I think I'll double the pistachio quantity.
With the Ambroise under my belt I now feel more confident tackling his other recipes. Maybe I'll try Everest, or the pineapple coconut number that prompted me to buy a dewdrop shaped cake mold that had been sitting in my kitchen for the last six months. So many recipes to try and I'm sure each experience will be as rewarding as the Ambroisie.

This looks gorgeous, I'm sure it tasted great. Is there any way to get this recipe? Can one get Mr. Sugino's book in English?

what a beautiful presentation and creation! i was amazed at how much it took you to create those dainty cakes, but of course the result is stunning.

Lynn, I am discovering a whole new world through your blog. Keep it up : )
- Lynn said...
Mary, thank you! and thanks for hosting the leftover Tuesday event. Unfortunately I don't think his book has been translated into English yet. Maybe in a couple of years?
eliza, that's what my in-laws said when they saw me make a cake for the first time. I'm probably a little bit on the obssessive side though, haha!
ales, thank you. I'll try!
- Inne said...
Wow Lynn, that looks gorgeous. And it makes me even more sorry my Japanese isn't good enough to read Mr Sugino's recipes. I was hopeful at first the book would be in French (since the title is) but no such luck.
A very nice Japanese friend of mine sent me his other book though, which is in English and Japanese and is called The Dessert Book. I think the recipes in that one are easier and more basic, but still interesting.
This weekend I baked from it for the first time and the result was quite nice. But not as wonderful as yours...
These look wonderful. I recall Keiko trying some of the recipes from his book and they were from a different world. It is a shame that the book is printed in Japanese only (I can not find it at Amazon).
Truly truly food of the gods prepared by someone with the same divine touch !
- Kate said...
what a lovely post.I must tell u even i am really afraid to try out complex recipes by the sheer no of steps involved....hence opting for the easy way out..always...! but u have really done a beautiful job here.I love the part where u write about your little gelatin disaster....i've experienced that before in a another case and it just brought a smile to my face.

How Cardiovascular & Stroke Risks Relate
Both coronary heart disease and stroke share many of the same risk factors such as cholesterol disorders, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, physical inactivity, and being overweight or obese.
Learn more about how many conditions contributing to the risk of stroke or recurrent stroke can be controlled.
Stroke Risk for African Americans
Heart disease and stroke are major health risks for all people. But African Americans are at particularly high risk.
Stroke Among Hispanics
Stroke is the fourth-leading cause of death among Hispanics. One study found that hemorrhagic strokes occurred more commonly in Hispanics than in any other subgroup.
Hidden Risk Factors for Women
This year, more than 100,000 U.S. women under age 65 will have a stroke. Stroke is not a geriatric disease. And it's not confined to elderly overweight smokers who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Two brothers were found raiding the chambers of Sir Edwin last night, They managed to take a sack of coins, some potions, and a golden cup.
Once discovered they fled to the walls where they shimmed down a rope and tried to escape via foot.
However the Guard had been alerted, and a patrol of knights were assembled and started to chase the thieves.
On the battlements King Rupert is showing their Guest, the Krinn Ambassador and Hunter, Fenris, about how they deal with such things.
A simple attempt at a new type of wall for me.
What do you think?
Plus I think these Brothers may be featured again....

Seventy percent of higher education students and recent graduates want their institutions to use more digital tools according to the Accenture 2014 Global Value of Higher Education Survey. But if universities think that digital engagement is simply about offering online courses and live chats—they should think again.
There is no turning back from digital in higher education. Eighty-five percent of high school seniors, 81 percent of higher education students and 72 percent of higher education graduates say that how well a higher education institution embraces innovation is an important factor in deciding which institution to attend. The digital demand is real, and higher education institutions must start making the grade or risk irrelevance in the digital era. But where should they begin?

A Baltimore man charged in the killing of a 12-year-old girl was denied bail during a review hearing Monday morning.
Bail had initially been set at $1 million following the arrest late Thursday of Kevin Simpson, 20. A judge decided Monday he should not be released before trial under any circumstances.
Early May 26, Baltimore police said a white Ford Fusion was stolen during a robbery in which 15-year-old Oscar Torres was fatally shot and his friend, an unidentified 27-year-old man, was left in critical condition.
The next day, police said, Simpson was driving the vehicle when he struck and killed sixth-grader Shanizya Taft. Police are still investigating whether Simpson was involved in the robbery. He has not been charged in that incident.
A public defender who accompanied Simpson did not speak at the hearing.
Simpson was released from prison on April 8 after serving seven months of a 13-month sentence, said Mark Cheshire, a spokesman for the Baltimore City State's Attorney.
In December 2012, he was convicted of a drug charge and received a suspended 18-month sentence. Simpson violated his probation in September 2013 when convicted of a car theft, which resulted in the 13-month sentence from the prior charge.
The car theft earned him a suspended one-year sentence, Cheshire said. If convicted in the pending manslaughter case, Simpson will also face the imposition of that suspended sentence.
Simpson had also faced multiple other drug-related charges and another car theft charge, but Cheshire said they were dropped due to insufficient evidence to move forward with the cases.
Baltimore Sun reporters Justin George and Justin Fenton contributed to this article.

Recipe: Braised Goat Shanks with Prune, Shallot, and Brandy Reduction
As we end Meat/Un-Meat month and we give you a last recipe or two for meat, I feel that it's worth mentioning this benefit again: when we eat meat, I believe it should be in full consciousness of the animal that died so we can eat.
Goat, and to some extent lamb, is a very good meat to remember this by. It hasn't been so squeezed into styrofoam trays and shrink wrap. When I buy my goat from my local butcher (who also raises the goats, lambs, and beef cattle they butcher) I remember that this was one unique animal, one real living thing. It wasn't a walking piece of nameless, interchangeable protein. (Chicken breasts and ground hamburger… did they grow that way? We really could be forgiven for thinking so – when was the last time you saw a chicken with feathers or beef cow with tail?)
Of course, it's a perfectly logical response to the sight of walking chickens, lambs, pigs, and cows to say, no, those are living animals and I don't really want to eat them. I have quite a lot of sympathy towards vegetarianism, and it makes so much sense to me, in fact, that sometimes I wonder why I'm not a vegetarian. Am I just too calloused? Too hard-hearted? Do I lack the PETA gene? Hmmm. I'll leave that question aside for now, and return to the central point.
My personal opinion is that those of us who eat meat on a regular basis should not be squeamish about where our meat comes from. We should be willing to take it all — bone, shank, tail, nose, ears — and do honor to the animals that we eat by using everything up from end to end. This isn't my idea, of course; responsible butchering and use of the whole animal has been good practice around the world for thousands of years.
One of my favorite examples of this consciousness of meat comes from Barbara of Tigers and Strawberries, a truly fantastic food blog. Barbara allowed her daughter Morganna to go and help a friend butcher a cow she had helped raise by hand. She was there when they killed the cow, and she helped butcher all of it into meat that would be stored for her friend and her family. You can read the post here:
I don't mean to preach: I am hardly the best example of this at all. It's just a little lecture I give myself from time to time, and I do feel that it's part of the price I ought to pay for being an omnivore. If I'm willing to eat the goat, I also shouldn't be bothered when I have to pick out a few stray hairs from the meat. This was a living thing, and I hope that as it nourishes me I can use it responsibly.
And now, all that to say — here's a recipe for goat! I'll let you be the judge on whether it's a responsible use of some very delicious and meaty goat shanks. We certainly enjoyed it. I attempted a prune and shallot sauce after having a perfectly sublime version at a favorite restaurant last winter. Mine wasn't nearly so sublime, but it does complement the goat well. Prunes are less sweet than rich and meaty; they have a deep tannic flavor that goes well with goat and lamb.
Braised Goat Shanks with Prune, Shallot, and Brandy Reduction
2 goat shanks (3/4-1 pound each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound shallots, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup prunes, minced
1/3 cup brandy
1 cup chicken or beef broth
1 cup white wine
1 sprig rosemary
1 bay leaf
Preheat oven to 325. Brown the goat shanks on all sides in a heavy Dutch oven. Salt and pepper liberally and set aside.
Heat a little olive oil in the same Dutch oven. Cook the shallots and garlic until softened and fragrant. Add the minced prunes and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Add the brandy and stir to deglaze.
Place the goat on top of the shallot and prune mixture in the Dutch oven. Pour the white wine and broth over top and bring to a light simmer. Add the rosemary and bay leaf. Cover and bake in the oven for two hours.
When the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone, remove from the oven. Put the shanks on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Scrape out the prune and shallot mixture under the meat and puree it with a stick blender or in a food processor. Return to the Dutch oven over medium-high heat and reheat, stirring. If the sauce is very thick you may want to thin it out by whisking in another cup or two of beef broth or wine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Note: A note on finding goat. Goat is a great meat for eating locally; you just don't find goat in the local grocery store, usually, so when you do find it you can be almost sure it was raised responsibly on a small farm. I usually buy goat from my butcher, but this time I was at Whole Foods and discovered that they carried goat meat raised just a few miles away.

Olive's Aqua Abode
Name: Olive (3)
Location: Norman, OK
This room is used for a bedroom/playroom, and we needed to use the space wisely. I wanted it to be light and bright giving that there would be a lot of furniture in there.
We painted the walls Innocence by Benjamin Moore to open up the space. The chevron rug is from Rugs USA and helped to transition this space from baby nursery to toddler room. The MALM twin IKEA bed was a perfect fit. Olive's bedding is a mix of modern and antique. The pink quilt was make by her great grandmother and quilted by my sister-in-law. It's a treasure. The red kitchen is form Pottery Barn Kids. It's a bit large, but it is played with daily. The dresser is IKEA with Anthropologie knobs.
We moved here from Brooklyn, New York, so the print on the dresser reminds us of our favorite city. All of the pillows are from IKEA, Target, and TJ Maxx. Most are ones we already had and just mixed them up in her room. We have loved creating a space that is light and bright for our daughter. Mixing modern with family treasures and bargain pieces is the best part. Her room is a mix of all of that and we love spending time in there.
Thanks, Heather!

We teach executive-level communications skills in three major categories. The purpose is to equip business professionals with the skills required for their career development and your organization's overall success. We are committed to helping your organization tell its story to the internal and external audiences that drive standout performance.
Public speaking skills
PowerPoint presentation training
Business writing seminars
The voice that
Getting the power
Putting the written
There isn't a person in business who doesn't covet the ability to command a room. It's a major part of what leadership is all about – grabbing people's attention and influencing their thinking and behavior.
Unfortunately, for most people the very thought of public speaking causes palms to sweat and mouths to go dry. It's also why so many speeches are delivered to yawning audiences.
Here's why this matters. Public speaking opportunities are one of your company's most profitable business development tools – as well as one of your best opportunities to persuade and motivate staff members, investors, prospective clients, and other constituencies.
The solution is a program we teach called Conversational Presenting.
The fact is most public speaking doesn't take place behind a podium or on a dais. As soon as we leave the privacy of our homes we have become public speakers, and the things we say – and how we say them – determine how others regard us.
When operating in formal settings, it makes no difference if we're making speeches to inform, persuade or entertain, the key skills and techniques are the same and can be learned by anyone willing to do the work involved.
Great public speaking isn't about fitting a particular mold, it's about authenticity and naturalness. It's about being who you truly are and bringing genuine clarity and passion to your audience.
Conversational Presenting focuses on expressing your true self through casual language, audience engagement and doing the things that come most naturally to you.
Areas covered by this training include:
The various components of this training program are underscored by video footage of some of history's greatest orators, along with written analysis of their work.
Once these skills are learned they can be applied to greater effect in any situation – ranging from one-on-one conversations and meetings to networking events and impromptu business gatherings.
Let's put the power of skillful verbal communication to work at your organization.
Sitting through PowerPoint presentations is considered a bane of corporate life. Yet presentation software isn't about to go away because there's no substitute for its ability to focus attention, mix media and deliver a multi-sensory experience that accords with people's various learning styles. That's provided PowerPoint is used properly.
Executives such as Apple CEO Steve Jobs and environmental activist Al Gore have raised the PowerPoint presentation to an art form. The good news is that far less exalted and highly-produced PowerPoint presentations can be extremely effective for everyday executives, if they learn the presentation skills that are so often overlooked by even the most experienced corporate leaders.
This training module teaches executive-level PowerPoint and general presentation skills. It emphasizes taking command of a room, connecting with one's audience and conveying ideas through visual thinking, rather than slides heavy with text and bullet points. It also teaches how to best display those ideas in a well organized PowerPoint deck.
Training is presented in an interactive format, with examples and vigorous discussion from start to finish. Participants will learn:
Learn the proper techniques, prepare aggressively and your presentation can become a power and light show that has audience members talking about the experience on their way to the parking lot.
This training program is designed for professionals who want to enhance their authority, prestige and persuasion skills by learning more effective presentation techniques, particularly while using PowerPoint or other presentation software programs.
It is best – though not mandatory – for students to already know how to assemble a very basic PowerPoint deck.
Writing is the mother of all modes of communication, because it informs and feeds all other forms of communication. The quality of any form of communication – whether a speech, PowerPoint presentation, sales meeting, telemarketing push, training video, podcast or advertising campaign – depends on the ability to write with power, clarity and influence.
Writing has never been a more important business skill than it is today. Alas, most professionals consider it secondary or non-essential. This is catastrophic. The invention of email and social media channels alone dictate that effective written communication is more important than ever.
Poorly designed and written marketing proposals, sales letters, website copy, reports, memos, presentations, press releases and speeches result in lost business and cast an unprofessional light on companies with otherwise valuable products and services.
Everything a company does is driven by the written word. Every important initiative is communicated and documented in writing. Yet, most companies never train their people how to write with clarity, accuracy and brevity, let alone how to add power and persuasion to the important thoughts and concepts they must communicate.
The result is a company that doesn't understand the importance of creating a narrative, or the tremendous payoff that comes from effective storytelling.
Stories bring companies to life by making them real to customers. People remember stories and share stories, not facts, figures and lists of products and services.
Want an example? Apple is a company that has used the principles of narrative and storytelling to both turn itself into a marketing icon and has extended those principles into its legendary product development process.
Your business can do the same. It just needs to be shown how to put words to work.
We can help your company disentangle itself from the impenetrable writing that infects all forms of business writing. Our seminars will teach your people:
Represent your company and its products and services with the kind of business writing that gets attention.

Harley-Davidson of Baltimore has come to the Inner Harbor.
But the Baltimore County dealership is selling t-shirts at Harborplace, not Harleys.
The new store in the Pratt Street Pavilion carries Harley-Davidson branded t-shirts, apparel and souvenirs. It's seen as a way for the Pulaski Highway dealer to grow its business.
"The Inner Harbor reaches many visitors to Baltimore," said Donald Meyers Jr., president of Harley-Davidson of Baltimore, in an announcement. "Now they can take home a piece of the Harley-Davidson iconic brand with a Baltimore theme."

So close to a sweater
What sweater, you may ask (it having been so long since there was much in the way of knitting content around here)? Poplar and Elm, I reply. I am knitting it out of HazelKnits Entice, and I can find no flaw in this yarn. I'm liking the pattern rather a lot, too. I did get a titch paranoid about whether I was knitting a size that will be big enough for me, though, so I blocked the back and sleeves before casting on for the first front, just to be sure. (I'd like everyone to be proud of me for a moment here, though - note that I did not just knit a size bigger than it seemed like I ought to, just to be sure it would fit, as I have done in the past.)
The motifs on this are quite nice, pairing, as they do, an openwork increase on the sleeves, with the same motif using M1 increases for the body. I am particularly enamored of the body motif, I must admit (this is why I haven't cleared the blocked pieces off the end of the dining room table yet).
My spinning is calling to me, but I am so close on this that I think I'll plow through until the second front is done. Maybe even this weekend? Hmmm...

Yes, finish Poplar & Elm first before spinning! That's really gorgeous, you're right about the texture, it's very pleasing.
At first I thought - one front - how many would you need? Ahhhh. Cardigan. I suppose you would actually need BOTH sides. :)

That combination of yarn and pattern is gorgeous - you must feel the urge to push on towards the finish line now.

Press on to the finish line! You're almost done. Then comes the reward of wearing that beautiful sweater.

That sweater is beautiful. I love the color. I added the sweater to my Queue. I love the wrap style.

i've tried two carol sunday patterns and both drove me NUTS -- we both gave up on the shrug. i gather this pattern was what you thought it'd be; it certainly is beautiful!! i always think her designs are beautiful, i just can't seem to deal with the patterns.
that color will be gorgeous on you, on top of the great design.

I've admired this sweater - yours looks lovely. Soldier on! Avert your eyes from the spinning.

Mmmm lovely!
If you were me, now that you'd put all this nearly finished loveliness out for us to see, you'd start reading novels instead of knitting or spinning.

I love the pattern and the color of this sweater. (And congratulations on going with the smaller size...I know how hard it is to trust it will fit!)
Can't wait to see it finished; it's going to be beautiful!
