Throughout the history of presidential campaigns, we have seen the rise of technology and the role it plays in candidates' marketing campaigns. From Roosevelt's first use of radio in the 1932 election to the impact television made in the 1960 race between Kennedy and Nixon, mass media technology has been in the forefront of past campaigns. This year marks another milestone as the Internet and social media make prominent appearances in the 2012 election.
Over the years, there have been new and exciting breakthroughs in technology that allowed for communication to reach the masses. And as we become more and more immersed in Blogging, YouTubing, Facebooking, and Tweeting, the Internet has fast become a direct and easy way to reach millions of people around the country. It seems the candidates of the 2012 presidential election have realized the value of social media and, while the more traditional channels are still being utilized (i.e. campaign posters and TV ads), Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have incorporated digital marketing into their campaigns.
Obama successfully utilized social media in his 2008 campaign in his win over John McCain, and this year continues to expand his social reach through Twitter (with over 20 million followers and averaging 14.4 tweets a day). Romney is making significant headway in the world of Facebook, with a 76% fan growth since May 1st. Many analysts have their opinions on the clear winner in the social media battle and believe that's a direct correlation to winning the election. Each candidate is making their own successes in the digital space, but we will find out in about a month's time who the winner of this race will be and if the use of social media was a significant factor in the win.
What is your take on each presidential candidate's digital strategy in this year's campaign?

A volunteer came to work Friday morning and excitedly asked if we had done our daily devotion yet. He's currently serving at KARM Stores as he goes through rehabilitation after an injury on his construction job. In response to his question, I told him we were waiting for the rest of the team members to arrive. His excitement became more apparent as he explained he is not used to having this experience at work – devotions, praying, listening to Christian music, and praising God.
As a construction worker, he hears all kinds of language and never anything about God or praying for one another. He was amazed to volunteer with a company whose mission statement starts out with, "To reveal Christ," and we do it every day.
Volunteers at KARM Stores are enjoying a distinctly different experience – watching, listening, and learning Christ. Each team member at KARM Stores reveals Christ as he or she works side by side with volunteers. It's just another way we make a difference every day.

This quaint town in El Dorado County is a rural oasis in the heart of California's gold country with endless outdoor recreation opportunities every turn. Located on historic Highway 49, Cool is just 6 miles from Auburn and 11 miles from Coloma, site of the state's first gold discovery on the American River.
Originally known as Cave Valley, the area was integral in the beginning days of the gold rush and then later for its mining of limestone. Today the area is a quiet base camp for those looking to explore the foothills. Rafting the river, hiking, biking, hunting, horseback riding, and golfing keep residents busy all year long.
Cool offers a variety of small stores and family-owned restaurants. A handful of wineries dot the surrounding hillsides, while nearby Placerville is home to the famous Apple Hill, an area bountiful with apple farms, pumpkin patches, and ranches. The community is served by Black Oak Mine Unified School District, with Northside School (transitional kindergarten through sixth grade) located in Cool. Golden Sierra Middle Junior/Senior High School is located nearby.

The Greatest Disadvantage of Sexism
We're all familiar with sexism. The greatest disadvantage comes to the sexist individual. They fail to see and appreciate the potential within the dance of duality. To disregard, dishonor or abuse the masculine or the feminine causes imbalance. It means being stuck in one or the other rather than opening to possibility. There is a closing-off, a lack of expansion. It is far more fun to giggle at the differences between the sexes. There is a "lift-up" of honoring the unavoidable nature of duality. And when not giggling, the dance of duality can be, well, a little hot too!

Vishal Sikka, the CEO of Infosys has officially stepped down from his role after being associated with the firm for almost 3 years. The reason mentioned behind such a massive decision was 'him being buckled under the pressure and the constant negativity in the work environment'.
Sikka, now being the former CEO of Infosys marked his resignation in regard with the ongoing war between the company's board and its co-founders since past many months. The board as well as Sikka blamed the continuous personal attacks on him by the company's co-founder Narayana Murthy as the reason behind the resignation.
Many dots are being connected to his resignation, when talking about the tussle b/w the co founders and his work ethics. But in the latest development of this issue, Narayan Murthy, the founder of Infosys, anguishly rubbished the allegations and stated that 'My concern primarily was the deteriorating standard of corporate governance which I have repeatedly brought to the notice of the Infosys board," Murthy said in an e-mailed statement'.
With such a revelation in the IT world, both VishaL Sikka and Narayan Murthy are on the constant move to counter each other and portray themselves as being in the best interests of Infosys – but now the question lingers, 'Who will replace Sikka and carry his legacy? OR Will it go back to Nanden Nilekani?'.

Recently, I was sent the cutest and most original puppet from Puppet Heap Work Shop. Her name is Lucy, and she is the Cat and the Fiddle, from the Mother Hubbard Among Others Series. This series was just released last month and is their first line of hand puppets designed for everyone. The first six characters, Mother Hubbard, Toby (her dog), Lucy (the cat and the fiddle), The Constable, The Doctor and the Cabby, are the first in a series of puppets which populate the town of Spudbottom.
My boys could not wait to see this puppet come alive. They both took turns being the puppet master and there was laughing and giggles all around. This 13 inch puppet is machine washable, made of 100% dyed polyester fabric and filling, includes a detachable fiddle and bow and is recommended for ages 6 and up. If you are looking for a unique gift this holiday season check out Puppet Heap Work Shop's puppets. We like them so much we are putting them on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.
Everything Puppet Heap does is a profound spirit of play. Nothing could be more essential to life or the art of puppetry. Any production involving puppets, regardless of its complexity or sophistication, moves Puppet Heap only when it's born of a sense of play. The Puppet Heap team is constantly striving to nurture its open and creative environment to foster spontaneity and experimentation. The result is work that is unique, lively, and original.

Jennifer Armintrout takes apart 50 Shades of Gray.
Oh, lord, 50 Shades. I have so many mixed feelings about this book. (Not about the quality, however. Never about the quality.) On the one hand: ye gods, it is a terrible, awful book that puts forth the same gender stereotypes and romanticized abuse as Twilight, James just takes the erotic undertones of Meyer and makes them explicit. It makes me twitch.
On the other hand, just like so much of the criticism of Twilight centers around icky girls daring to like icky girl things, much of the criticism of 50 Shades centers around icky women daring to like icky women things. (Plus a general "ewww, kink" reaction, which--um, if your objection is that Ana and Christian have a fundamentally abusive relationship, that's 'cause they do, and would even if they were vanilla enough to make an ice cream cone blush. Bedroom dynamics and accessories have nothing to do with it.)
Armintrout's review of 50 Shades has me howling with laughter because she appears to have grown a penis solely to accommodate the hate-boner she has for this book, and yet she can't look away. And that's sort of Meyer and James in a nutshell. Armintrout does a wonderful job of going chapter-by-chapter and discussing why Christian is an abuser, though, and she does it without once heading into a kink-shaming place. It also doesn't hurt that she's screamingly funny.
(I have womanfully resisted doing any Twilight reviews on this blog even though I read all of the damned things, because it seemed like a bit of piling-on. But when The Host comes out in theaters, I will probably not be able to stop myself. That book was--it was like looking into Meyer's psyche on so many levels, and it was horrifying. I screamed at the book as if Meyer could hear me through it. More than once. In public places.)

Oil lamps have been around almost as long as mankind has, but today we have replaced the single digit candlepower oil lamps of the Bedouin days in the past and live by bright as day electrical powered lamps. We all know that and it's one of those facts of life we never even think about. But it surprises me that more people don't know how to care for, or even properly utilize the oil lamps of today. I often hear complaints of how dim the light is, or how the chimney tends to soot up, or how disagreeable the odor is and so on. These problems really needn't exists, especially in light of the fact that these are the same tools in use during the eigthteenth and nineteenth centuries, with no change to them in the 200 plus intervening years. And yet these complaints were never uttered in those days at all.
There are a couple of different types of non-pressurized oil lamps and lanterns on the market today, those being of the wick type for one, and the other being the mantel type lamps. For now I'm only going to address the simple, yet widely available simple wick types today. There are a great many makers today, and unfortunately most of them come nowhere near in quality to the older units we generally see for high prices in the antique shops. But some of them are of excellent workmanship, such as the Dietz lanterns, still available in a wide range of styles.
My first piece of advice is one I frequently promote, and that is that you buy the very best that you can buy with the budget you have. Don't skimp on the tools that will be the ones you use most, you'll just regret it in the end. Some of these cheap tinplate lanterns and lamps you can pick up at the mass merchandisers are ok for occasional use, but they won't last, and require more care than a well made tool will require.
And by the way, always look upon the things you plan to use to survive with as tools, not stuff that's hanging around. If you end up going without power for an extended period of time, you'll be glad that you have kept this equipment in good order.
An important component of your lamp will be the fuel, so let's talk about that for a moment. There are a number of fuels on the market, and some of them can cause a lot of difficulties with daily use, while others can be dangerous to use in your lamp. We're talking about simple wick style lamps here so ignore the more volatile fuels such as white gas, alcohol and so forth. None of those should be used in a simple lamp, no matter how desperate you get for that little bit of light. They can be somewhat explosive in the way they burn and you just may lose the roof over your head from the resulting inferno.
Stick to the basics, kerosene, lamp oil and mineral oil if you will. Liquid paraffin will work, but it will clog your wick and burner mechanism resulting in a lot of unnecessary work, avoid it. Mineral oil is difficult to obtain and isn't as efficient as lamp oil or kerosene, so I wouldn't spend any effort in utilizing that fuel either. In the old days sperm oil was favored and was plentiful, so you may from time to time see a reference to its use, but for all intents and purposes is extinct today. The closest you can get would be highly processed fish oil which stinks, gives a smoky residue and is dirty in a regular lamp. Sperm oil is whale oil, by the way.
There are also scented and colored lamp oils on the market which will work OK, but they may leave a visible, colored residue if you have a clear glass font, and these oils are less efficient as the additives cut down on the available BTUs the naked oils should be providing. It's like putting ethanol in your cars gasoline supply. It works, but it cuts down on your mileage and you have to use more to go the same distance as without the ethanol.
Regular lamp oil is clear, and usually comes in a quart or 64oz bottle. If you keep it tightly sealed and out of the warmth of the sun the loss through evaporation will be negligible over normal time. It won't last years and years, but you can expect it to be around for at least a few for storage purposes. A couple of decades ago I bought a couple of bottles to see how long they would keep. After six years in a closet we went through a several day blackout and ran out of the everyday oil. When I used this stored oil it worked fine and the loss was minimal, hardly noticeable in fact. I'd say it was probably less than a two to three percent loss at the most.
But kerosene is a much better choice. Its higher BTU rating will provide more candlepower, meaning a brighter light. Unfortunately, it does have an odor, but that can be eliminated by adding a special chemical that is said to eliminate the odor. It is also a much cheaper fuel in the long run compared to bottled lamp oil. You can buy it in bulk form, and many gas stations have K1 available that you can pump into five gallon cans. This fuel contains a red dye to make the federal tax collectors happy though, and I have had some discoloration in some lamps due to this dye. You can also buy it in crystal clear form from a lot of places that sell portable kerosene heaters, and also in one gallon cans in many paint supply stores and chain hardware stores. It can be much higher in cost that way though.
You will also need a supply of wicks. You can by them in a roll from some places and cut them to length, or in packages of usually five. ½" and 5/8th inches are the most common. Most of your lanterns will have a ½" wick while many lamps have a 5/8th inch wick. Cotton is the best material, but sometimes you can get fiberglass wicks that work very well also. However, the fiberglass is not so common a product and can be difficult to find unless you know of a particular supply house that trades in this sort of item.
That's it for this time, next time I'll look at the different parts of the lamps and lanterns and how they work, as well as how to maintain them.

On Sunday Sarah, one of our pocketnannies ran the Color* Run at the O2 Greenwich Peninsula, London. It was a great 5K fun run – The Happiest Run on the the planet. Find out more here. Now we wouldn't usually blog about running. But I was surprised at how many children were taking part in the color run.
Do you run with your children? We think it's a brilliant way to spend time exercising with your children. I personally aspire to run with my own children in the future.
Color Run is a completely family friendly run – it's not a timed race, so it's not an opportunity to beat your personal best. It's a run for all, and you definitely don't have to run it, you can walk the whole run – dance, hop whatever. It's all about having fun. During the route you will be decorated with colourful powder. So you'll come out looking a bit like this…
The Color Run costs as follows: a solo color running entry is £25, a team color runner is £23 per runner and children cost £10. Premium entry is £44.
Sarah also ran for The Lullaby Trust who promote safe sleeping for babies as well as most importantly providing specialist support for bereaved families and anyone affected by a sudden infant death. We are pleased to say we will be working with The Lullaby Trust on a blogpost in the near future.
If you would like to sponsor Sarah – the JustGiving page will be open for 3 more months. We, and the Lullaby Trust would be very appreciative. As an example £100 could allow two families of four to go to one of their family days out, helping bereaved families get together in a friendly and informal environment to share experiences and gain strength from each other.
You can access Sarah's JustGiving page here.
*Yes that's right it's Color Run as opposed to Colour – it's an American brand. It's bugging me too.

The points below serve as a good checklist for doing a readiness check before one is ready to turn into a solo trainer and consultant. The business world is a tough and nasty place so it is better to be fully prepared before taking the risky plunge.
- Assess your financial position and ensure sufficient money is available for 2-3 years for maintaining current standard of living of the family.
- Ensure you have adequate term insurance and medical insurance. Also consider taking personal accident insurance for self and wife (if she also drives) and house (stick to structure insurance).
- Bring down living expenses by reducing discretionary spending (non-veg, movies, malls, furniture, gadgets, etc.).
- Doubly ensure that monthly passive income is more than the monthly expense. This depends on the city and the lifestyle. For example, for a city like Delhi/NCR, assuming zero loan liability, own house (no rent) and a decent lifestyle this number would be around 60K.
- Be mentally prepared that you will not make any money in the first 6-12 months. Also discuss and sensitize family about this and the challenges involved.
- Start creating/grabbing training/consulting opportunities internally. This is like learning "how to swim in a pond".
- Find some people who have done it and seek their mentoring and guidance. Take their help in expanding network and also connecting to right people.
- Attach with the mentors to learn "how to swim in a river". This eventually leads the way to learning "how to swim in the ocean".
- Touch base with your connections in the network to explore moonlighting or other opportunities for training/consulting

From all the coverage of Pokemon Go in recent weeks, you can't help but have noticed that large sections of society have been taken over by the latest smartphone game.
For those of you who haven't yet heard about it, Pokemon Go is a reality-based game, which encourages users to explore their surroundings and collect fictional animals. The Pokemon that you can collect vary depending on the type of area that you are in. As a result, Whitstable's beaches and harbour provide an excellent habitat for water based Pokemon.
This is a game for all ages, so the Places to Stay in Whitstable team decided to collate the best spots for someone over 18 to get the most out of their Whitstable/Pokemon experience.
Whitstable has been blessed with a number of Pokestops and Gyms, most of these are in or adjacent to pubs.
The best Pokemon spots
The Pearson's
Not only does this seafront pub serve great cocktails and food, it is also a Pokemon stop. Pop in, grab a cocktail or a pint of Gadd's No5 and set yourself a lure.
The Smack
Situated in Middle Wall, this pub has a Pokestop and a sea themed outside garden, where you can soak up the rays.
The Duke of Cumberland
While this popular pub may not have its own Pokestop, you can take advantage of the adjacent one at the Horsebridge. The best place for this is to hang about in the courtyard garden and sup on a cooled pint.
The Twelve Taps
As well as having fantastic, independently brewed beer selection, prosecco on tap and eclectic gin shelf, The Twelve Taps is also situated in a triangle of Pokestops. Perfect if you're out with some friends who have some lures.
The Old Neptune
This pub on the beach has fantastic sea views, great food, a good selection of beer, live music and is also a Pokemon Gym. Do battle at the bar or whilst taking in the stunning sunset outside.
Whitstable Castle
Sit outside, eat some delicious homemade cake and enjoy the two Pokestops that the Castle has to offer.
The Royal
Set on Tankerton Slopes, The Royal has two Pokestops accessible from its garden and has reportedly seen large spawnings of Pikachus.
Happy collecting. Give us a wave if you spot us. Gotta catch 'em all!

Nestled between three spectacular mountain ranges, Palm Springs has attracted visitors for most of its history. Known for its mineral springs, expansive landscapes, and fashionable homes, Palm Springs is the perfect location for a quiet desert getaway.
Palm Springs was originally settled by the Cahuilla and frequented by Spanish conquistadors, who called the place "Agua Caliente", or hot water, because of the naturally occurring warm mineral springs. The name that, eventually, stuck was "Palma de las Manos the Dios", or palm of God's hands, perhaps a reference to the geography of the valley. Palm Springs became a health resort and playground of the Hollywood elite during the 1920s. As the decades progressed, fashionable hotels, vacation homes, and full-scale villas designed by world renowned architects were constructed. The whole town feels like a design showcase, even office buildings and gas stations were designed as showpieces of their time. Many of these fine buildings still stand and are available for short term rentals. An excellent source to see what is available is http://www.palmspringsrentals.com
Palm Springs offers many activities for every visitor. Desert hikes and horseback riding are very popular, which are accessible due to the many nearby trails and surrounding ranches. The city hosts such events as the Palm Spring's International Film Festival. Even during the off season, Palm Springs takes on a festive atmosphere during Village Fest, held every Thursday evening. Part arts and crafts show and part farmers market with exciting live music, Village Fest is sure to be a hit with every visitor. There is also a casino on the nearby Cahuilla Indian Reservation for those visitors keen on trying their luck.
Fine dining is another Palm Spring's tradition, dating back to its resort town roots. www.levallauris.com
Come explore this desert gem at the earliest opportunity. Palm Springs is an exciting destination, where everyone lives like a star!

Something for Mac fans
I was testing the grokker tool and wondered what kind of search pattern I would get for Go. It led me to Eric Piotrowski's 3D Go site where I found this really amusing Mac advertisement parody.
Eric has a very nice gallery and it's worth your time to browse it.

Paintings In The View From The Top Christmas Show
Here's one of the paintings I've put in the View from the Top Gallery for their Christmas Exhibition in Nottingham.
This is my tabby cat Chi, (Clint Eastwood) the tabby gun slinger of Freddie Street! He's staring down the barrel of a loaded claw. 'OK punk, do you feel lucky? Go ahead, bite me, make my day!'I just loved the expression on his face!
After The Hunt
This is Casper, one of my favourite feline friends taking a well deserved nap. He's a superb hunter, the scourge of the local rodent and rabbit population. Although there are so many rabbits where he lives that some unkind folks have said that all he needs to do is lie down with his mouth open and wait for something to hop in!

As long as the mains is plugged in before you turn on, but then it wouldn't turn on anyway.
No, removing the battery should not cause any freezing or other issues. The only time there might be an issue is if there was a mains power cut. With the battery in it would take over, but with the battery out the system would turn off instantly and that could cause instability at the next reboot.
I think you need to look at other causes for this freezing.
This may be a strange quesiton. The laptop(Toshiba Satellite 600D-1GB) is new (purchased last December). I use it at home as it's large and heavy so I have taken out the battery to, switching on the plug when I use it. Then the computer sometimes freezes when starting up and I'm wondering if this is to do with having no battery installed or with some other problem. Should I put back the battery?

When I was asked if Id like to review a product from the GHD range it was the equivalent of being asked if royalty could pop by for a cuppa....."Sure Ill get the nice China out".
As a teenager GHD were THE straighteners to own. There wasn't anything nearly as good available on the market. With polka straight hair all the range these were a must-have.
I am fortunate to have 2 pairs of GHDs...one thick pair and one thin.
(one were given to me from a friend to help me cope with my extensions!)
6 years on the very same pair I still use. Talk about an investment!
My experience with GHD products is limited.
Id had them used on my hair in the salon a couple of times and Id had a whirl with the flat iron oil and I thought it was OK.
The GHD Peacock range is b-e-a-utiful. Its deep and vibrant colours and I was impressed with the packaging when my product arrived.
A review that does stick in my mind is that of London Beauty Queen's GHD hairdryer review
I really do like how GHD package their products so elegantly and who can forget their new ambassador Katy Perry's recent Add Campaign for GHD in which she looked amazing!
It was only when I took some pictures of this product I realised it looks a little like a fake tan product! I do adore the purple though...my favourite colour.
The Low down: This is intended for blow drying to get that extra bit of volume. Either on dry or wet hair. The formula isn't sticky like most foams/mousse's and smells sophisticated. None of that wacky smell stuff that you get from Tigi (which I am partial to
in bursts!).
Because I have chemically straight treated extensions I find it difficult to get that promised oomph when my hairs straight with this product. But when Ive had my hair in hot rollers I really like the body this product can add to my hair..
Overall: It smells good, the packaging is sleek and sexy and I think it does help in adding volume- I think it'd work better in natural hair rather than extensions.
It brushes out well.
I wouldn't say this is a holy grail product but its a nice product to make you feel your hair is dressed for the occasion on a night out. If your after more volume its certainly a good product to try!
Next on my GHD wish list (after a hair dryer) is the GHD Final Shine Spray
You can view all of GHD's lusious products at:
