Kurt Cretors needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Optimized Business Transitions, LLC
My wife and I are partners in our new company, Optimized Business Transitions LLC. We are both experienced and successful business owners, financial planners, wealth managers, parents, adventursome and fun loving people. We both have advanced educational degrees and strong professional affiliations. Our weakness is in creative/artistic design skills
We serve highly successful business owners who are affluent individuals by providing objective and well thought out advanced strategies for wealth transfer and business transitions. We do this through consultation and defining what is possible to meet with ownser's specific objectives through detailed analytics and financial modelling.
I want to start by choosing a design consultant who can somehow connect with me and create a vision of a great logo for our new business, and we will see where it can go from there. This logo needs to be professional, and yet I am drawn to something powerful and unusual. We deal with money...lots of it, and most of our clients are in their late 50's or 60's so it has to be conservative too. Now I am rambling...I am not an artist...you are... so use your creativity and win me over!
Business cards, stationary, web design and more are all potential projects that are likely to follow for the successful person who wins my logo contest.

Comedy scares people in power.
We saw a disturbing example this week when Egyptian TV host and comedian Bassem Youssef, frequently described as Egypt's Jon Stewart, was charged with the crimes of mocking Egypt's President Mohamed Morsy and insulting Islam. If convicted, Youssef could be fined and sentenced to prison.
Now, before you quickly categorize this incident under the catch all, "They hate us for our freedoms" crap, let's not forget our own history.
Comedy legend Lenny Bruce was arrested not once but eight times, in the early 1960s for telling jokes that were considered obscene. However, Bruce's lawyer argued that the comedian was not being prosecuted for his profanity but rather for mocking political leaders and religion.
In 1964, Bruce was convicted of violating New York's obscenity laws and sentenced to four months of hard labor. Being sentenced to hard labor is doubly painful since comedians go into comedy to avoid hard labor. Bruce tragically died of a morphine overdose in 1966 while the appeal to his criminal conviction was pending.
Today, a comedian in the United States is unlikely to be criminally prosecuted for profanity, mocking elected officials or ridiculing religion. (If they could, Bill Maher and countless others would probably be on death row.)
While some of our elected officials may hate being the target of comedians' barbs, none would argue that jokes are a threat to our nation.
In the Arab world, however, stand-up comedy and satirical political comedy shows like the one Bassem Youssef hosts are a very new development. There's a great fear in the region that this form of entertainment will undermine political leaders.
I have witnessed this anxiety firsthand while performing stand-up comedy across the Middle East.
The crowds are usually amazing. But we comedians are advised by show promoters to avoid telling jokes mocking the political leaders and religions -- not just Islam, but also Christianity and Judaism. And of course, no sexual humor or profanity.
I know many of you are thinking: So what's left to talk about? Actually, plenty. As comedians, we are accustomed to tailoring our acts to fit certain "special" shows.
In fact, while performing at a corporate event in the United States -- such as for employees at an annual corporate retreat -- one will generally encounter similar content boundaries: No jokes about politics, sex and religion, plus, keep it clean. (Hmm, funny how U.S. corporations and Middle Eastern governments impose the same content restrictions.)
But believe it or not, in the last few years the leash on comedians performing in the Middle East has loosened. For example, in certain countries, we had to write our comedy material out word for word so local government authorities could review it for appropriateness before a show.
Those days are gone. No one asks for scripts any longer, because the people in power have apparently become more comfortable with stand-up comedy. Some comedians have started to push the boundary by using some profanity and sexually suggestive material.
But Bassem Youssef did more. Inspired by Jon Stewart, he performed jokes about the president of Egypt by name, even mockingly dressing like him in sketches. To us, this is commonplace, but in Egypt this was unheard of. Keep in mind that until recently, Egypt was ruled by Hosni Mubarak, who limited public dissent in his almost 30 years of rule.
I always knew an Arab Jon Stewart or Chris Rock would emerge and use comedy to skewer political leaders. Youssef has become that icon. But now he's paying for his boldness.
The question is: Will Morsy move Egypt toward embracing democracy and freedom of expression? Or will he take a step back and follow the policies of Mubarak?
Being a democratic nation entails much more than simply having elections -- it means vigilantly guarding freedom of expression, including the right of all people -- comedians, journalists, bloggers, critics -- to poke fun or disagree with the government.
So far, early signs are not hopeful. The U.S. embassy in Cairo tweeted out a link to a segment from Monday night's "The Daily Show" in which Stewart defended Youssef. The office of Egypt's president responded swiftly via Twitter: "It's inappropriate for a diplomatic mission to engage in such negative political propaganda."
President Morsy should make it clear that the revolution in Egypt truly ushered in democracy, and along with it freedom of expression. Otherwise, the new leadership will be perceived as just another oppressive government.
The world awaits Morsy's response.

Symptoms of Small Vessel Ischemic Change
I am 86 years old. I was diagnosed by a CAT scan with small vessel ischemia about 7 years ago. My symptoms were and are poor balance function, particularly at night. These symptoms continue to worsen though slowly. I do not have diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. I`ve always been a very active person and still manage to do quite a lot. In my internet research on small vessel ischemic disease I have yet to see mention of the symptoms or of the prognosis. Can you please enlighten me?
The main symptoms that are seen with small vessel ischemia are balance and gait disturbance and mild cognitive impairment. It depends on how much of the brain is involved as to how severe the deficits or balance problems a person will have. Keeping your brain active as you are can help with brain function and preservation. If there is no further strokes or small vessel ischemia than the condition is static and will not progress much. The fact that you do not have diabetes, hypertension and increased cholesterol makes your prognosis better as there is less risk for small strokes.

Pa, N.J. women face obstacles in political racesPosted in In the News on June 9th, 2014 by admin – Be the first to comment
By Jonathan Tamari, Inquirer Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON – When the smoke cleared from congressional primary season, women had taken one step forward in New Jersey, and one back in Pennsylvania.
The result: Come January, two states with a combined 34 seats in the Senate and House will likely include just one or, at most, two women.
"It's pathetic," Julie Roginsky, a New Jersey Democratic consultant, said of her party's failure to elect a Garden State woman to Congress since 1976.
That drought is likely to end in November, thanks to the results of Tuesday's primaries. Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman, a Democrat, won the party's nomination in a heavily Democratic central New Jersey district and is favored to win in the fall. In South Jersey, Democrats nominated Burlington County Freeholder Aimee Belgard for the seat being vacated by Republican Jon Runyan. She faces a tougher fall race but has a viable shot in a competitive district.
New Jersey, with a 14-person Senate and House delegation, hasn't had any women in Congress since Republican Margaret Roukema left office Jan. 3, 2003.
In Pennsylvania, with 20 Senate and House seats, the only woman – Democrat Allyson Y. Schwartz of Abington – is on her way out, having run for her party's gubernatorial nomination and lost in the state's May 20 primary.
Three women who hoped to replace her (two Democrats and one Republican) also fell short that day, as did Shaughnessy Naughton, a Democrat who sought nomination in the Bucks County-centered Eighth District.
So, barring a major upset, Pennsylvania's delegation will become all-male when a new Congress begins in January.
"If you don't have [women] at the table, you don't really have the full representation of the state's population," said Kelly Dittmar, assistant research professor at Rutgers University's Center on Women in American Politics.
Academic experts and political consultants described a range of structural and cultural obstacles that confront female candidates.
The B word. Men who are aggressive or abrasive, qualities sometimes needed to win in politics, "are considered strong leaders," said Roginsky, a board member at Yale University's Women Campaign School. "Women who are aggressive or abrasive are considered bitches."
Where bosses rule. Congressional maps make most House seats safe for incumbents, who often serve for decades, leaving few chances for newcomers. When seats do open up, support for a replacement is often decided by local party organizations, generally still dominated by men.
Local party bosses have immense sway in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, particularly in congressional races, which typically hinge on support in just one or two counties.
In statewide races, by contrast, New Jersey had a two-term female governor, Christine Todd Whitman, and Pennsylvania in 2012 elected Kathleen G. Kane as attorney general.
Of course, those races are also reminders of a non-gender factor: It takes good candidates to win. Both Kane and Whitman ran smart campaigns that won wide support.
"The party apparatus, while they talk about supporting women, it's more talk than real action," said Whitman, a Republican. "I don't think it's all sexism, but when the people that you spend your time with all look like you, you tend to support those people."
When it comes to breaking into the party infrastructure, women are more likely than men to vote and volunteer, but are less likely to write the big political checks that secure access and influence, said Dana Brown, executive director of the Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics at Chatham University in Pittsburgh.
Party warlords, Whitman said, "let women run for offices that they think they won't win. That's what happened to me in 1990."
That year, in a race for the U.S. Senate, she took on a popular Democratic incumbent, Bill Bradley. "I got, basically, no support," she said. National Republicans pulled back a promised $300,000 ad buy 10 days before the election, Whitman said. She lost by three percentage points.
The close race provided a springboard to her gubernatorial run three years later, but Whitman still faced a primary fight, something she said would not have confronted a man who had done so well against Bradley.
Last year, another woman, former State Sen. Barbara Buono, was the Democrats' sacrificial nominee against Gov. Christie.

I've always wished that the medical profession had more drama in it. You sit and watch all those hunks and supermodels playing doctors on TV, with all their complex moral dilemmas and impossible yet dramatic cases, and you think working in a hospital will be just like Casualty or Grey's Anatomy. Sadly, the reality is that no, theme music doesn't play as soon as you stride onto the wards in your white coat.
Thank God, then, for the Department of Health. Realising that the medical profession is too boring and not exciting enough, they've decided to inject some fun into the whole doctor-patient relationship and allow patients to rate their doctors using a survey next year. According to the BBC article:
The government is to carry out a survey in January of five million patients and ask how good appointment and phone access to their doctor is. The answers will determine how much of the £8,000 their doctor gets, from up to £72m available to England surgeries.Cool huh? You get to rate your doctor on how efficiently they perform. Heck, you could even march in and ask him to sing you a ditty, and threaten him with a bad survey report if he doesn't. Now THIS is entertainment!
Prime Minister Tony Blair told the BBC's Question Time programme that he was "astonished" to learn some GP surgeries were refusing to set appointments more than two days in advance because of a target that all patients should be seen within 48 hours.
He said then that he would ensure NHS targets did not stop people from seeing their GPs when they wanted to.
HospitalPhoenix has posted his own take on the issue here. He points out that GP surgeries that don't meet their targets are probably doing so because they're oversubscribed and hence in trouble, whereas those that do keep their appointments are probably better off financially. So what do the government do?
Why, give more money to the obedient GPs who do meet their targets, and less money to the GPs who need it most, of course.
And did the government ask doctors what THEY thought about the survey? Oh yes, of course they did. But apparently not very fairly:
But Dr Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the British Medical Association's GPs committee, said the survey was discredited because the government had added "biased questions".What's the government trying to do here? Throw money at the doctors who support them and squeeze the belts of those who don't? Or put a finger on the independence of the medical profession at a whole? Is there a greater agenda at work here?
He said patients had been asked about arrangements for early morning, evening and weekend surgeries at times when GPs were not expected or paid to be open. "Using a survey containing leading questions, putting words in patients' mouths, and falsely raising expectations, is not the way to do it."
I don't know. I don't care. The medical profession just got a whole lot more exciting! I'm going for singing lessons. Just in case.

Kerr Leathers, which suffered a warehouse fire in 2010, says two insurance companies re-sold the damaged helmets they took as new - potentially endangering customers and competing against the company with its own products.
In a multi-million-dollar lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court, Kerr alleges that while it gave permission to Zurich North America and Farmers Insurance to take possession of the helmets as "salvage" and to resell them, they did so only on condition buyers know their provenance.
In fact, Kerr says, they let a company - also named in the suit - market them online as "new" and "DOT certified" - and at a considerable discount over their normal cost.
Kerry charges this led to complaints from dealers to whom it normally sells helmets, who dropped the line when they could no longer compete. Also:
Given the damage the Kerr products sustained in the warehouse fire, the products are unsafe, will not perform as indicated and certainly should not be marketed as DOT certified.

A personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself. The truth value of a claim is independent of the person making the claim. After all, no matter how repugnant an individual might be, he or she can still make true claims.
Not all ad Hominems are fallacious. In some cases, an individual's characteristics can have a bearing on the question of the veracity of her claims. For example, if someone is shown to be a pathological liar, then what he says can be considered to be unreliable. However, such attacks are weak, since even pathological liars might speak the truth on occasion.
In general, it is best to focus one's attention on the content of the claim and not on who made the claim. It is the content that determines the truth of the claim and not the characteristics of the person making the claim.
1. In a school debate, Bill claims that the President's economic plan is unrealistic. His opponent, a professor, retorts by saying "the freshman has his facts wrong."
2. "This theory about a potential cure for cancer has been introduced by a doctor who is a known lesbian feminist. I don't see why we should extend an invitation for her to speak at the World Conference on Cancer."
3. "Bill says that we should give tax breaks to companies. But he is untrustworthy, so it must be wrong to do that."
4. "That claim cannot be true. Dave believes it, and we know how morally repulsive he is."
5. "Bill claims that Jane would be a good treasurer. However I find Bill's behavior offensive, so I'm not going to vote for Jill."
6. "Jane says that drug use is morally wrong, but she is just a goody-two shoes Christian, so we don't have to listen to her."
7. Bill: "I don't think it is a good idea to cut social programs."
Jill: "Why not?"
Bill: "Well, many people do not get a fair start in life and hence need some help. After all, some people have wealthy parents and have it fairly easy. Others are born into poverty and..."
Jill: "You just say that stuff because you have a soft heart and an equally soft head."

Call for Papers
The Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the flagship conference for research on language and computation. The 48th Annual Meeting of the ACL (ACL 2010) seeks submission of papers on original and unpublished research in all area of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include areas such as psycholinguistics, speech, information retrieval, multimodal language processing, and language issues in emerging domains such as bioinformatics. In addition, we want to stress that both theoretical, as well as practical and empirical papers, are sought for the conference.
ACL 2010 has the goal of a broad technical program. Thus, ACL 2010 invites papers in the following categories:
- Research papers
- theoretical computational linguistics
- empirical/data-driven approaches
- paradigms/techniques/strategies
- analysis papers
- resources and evaluation
- applications/systems
- negative result (report of a sensible experiment or approach that failed to achieve the desired results)
- Survey papers (new emerging area, field relevant to computational linguistics, etc.)
- Position papers (we are particularly soliciting papers co-authored by two individuals with opposing positions, though single-authored papers are welcome)
- Challenge papers (a challenge to the field in terms of setting out a goal for the next 5/10/20 years)
The above categories include types of papers that have not typically been part of the ACL conference program. Since the appropriate criteria for evaluating papers is not identical for the above categories (and subcategories), ACL 2010 will use a different review form for each category of paper, with the review form tailored to the type of submission. For example, the review criteria for an applications/systems research paper will include whether a substantive evaluation or user experiments are reported, whereas the review form for a theoretical computational linguistics research paper will include a different set of review criteria. The review forms are available on the conference web site.
At the time of submission, authors will be asked to designate the category under which they believe that their paper should be evaluated. However, the program committee chairs reserve the right to change the selected category if they feel that the submission falls into a different category of paper.
If you are unsure about whether your submission is appropriate for ACL 2010 please email the program chairs at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Long versus short papers
The submission deadlines for long and for short papers are identical.
Long papers are appropriate for:
1) reporting substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research;
2) presenting a survey of a subfield that would be of interest to
computational linguists;
3) a two-author position paper in which the co-authors take
opposing positions.
Short papers typically constitute more focused contributions. Thus
they are appropriate for:
1) reporting smaller experiments;
2) describing work-in-progress;
3) single-author position papers;
4) challenge papers;
5) descriptions of new language resources or evaluation methodologies
(although these could be long papers);
6) presenting negative results.
Long papers will be allocated 8 pages of content in the conference proceedings, and short papers will be allocated 4 pages of content. Both long and short papers may have any number of pages consisting solely of references. Long papers will generally be presented as 20-minute talks plus questions (although authors will be given the option of instead selecting a poster presentation or a 10-minute oral presentation followed by a poster); short papers will be presented either as a poster or as a 10-minute talk followed by a poster session. There will be no distinction in the conference proceedings between papers that are assigned different presentation modes (such as oral versus poster).
Important dates
Feb 8, 2010 Abstracts due (not mandatory), both long and short papers
Feb 15, 2010 Paper submissions due, both long and short papers
(submission deadline is 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8))
April 20, 2010 Notification of acceptance
(changed to avoid conflict with the COLING submission deadline)
May 12, 2010 Camera-ready copy due (changed to reflect change in Notification date)
July 11-16, 2010 - ACL 2010
Topics of interest
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Discourse, dialogue, and pragmatics
* Grammar engineering
* Information extraction
* Information retrieval
* Knowledge acquisition
* Large scale language processing
* Language generation
* Language processing in domains such as bioinformatics, legal, medical, etc.
* Language resources, evaluation methods and metrics, science of annotation

The deadline for both long and short papers is 11:59pm (Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)) February 15, 2010. Submission will be electronic in PDF format through the conference website.
Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content (excluding references), and short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content (excluding references). Both long and short papers may include any additional number of pages consisting solely of references. Both long and short paper submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL 2010 proceedings. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference, which is be available on the conference website "Information for authors". All submissions must conform to the official ACL 2010 style guidelines to be announced on the conference website.
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith (1991) previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
Multiple submission policy
The same paper cannot be submitted to ACL 2010 in both long and short format --- that is, short paper submissions must not be shortened versions of submitted long papers that present the same work. ACL 2010 will not accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published at other meetings or in other publications. However, papers that have been or will be submitted elsewhere may be submitted to ACL 2010 provided that this fact is stated at the time of submission. If the paper is accepted by both ACL 2010 and another meeting or publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them; furthermore, its authors must notify the program chairs, within two days of receiving the ACL acceptance notification, indicating which meeting or publication they choose for presentation of their work.
Mentoring service
ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please upload your paper in PDF format by January 4, 2010 using the paper submission software for the mentoring service which will be available at the conference website. Questions about the mentoring service should be referred to email@example.com

Desire to connect with community sparks business
Andre B. Laird. - Thursday, November 8, 2012 8:43 AM
A desire to connect with the local community sparked Adam and Rebecca Hanson's business venture, Antiqology, which recently located to downtown Huntington.
"The business started shortly after we bought our home and were looking for items to decorate," says Rebecca Hanson. "We had trouble finding things that were reasonably priced and had that combination of hip and trendy."
Hanson says she and husband Adam started selling pieces on Facebook and held a porch sale one weekend.
"We had about 150 people show up for the sale that weekend," Adam Hanson says. "And the phone calls and emails just kept coming in support of us opening a store."
After finding no building that suited the store's personality, the couple was approached by Rich Najuch and Joel Froomkin, co-owners of The New Huntington Theatre, who offered their adjoining building.
"It was a great fit for us and we received a lot of support from other downtown business owners as well," Rebecca Hanson states. "We opened for business in this location on Friday, Nov. 2.
She adds that the store offers something for everybody.
"We carry vintage, handmade, re-purposed, industrial, shabby-chic, new and old items," she states.
Adam Hanson says the store has a specific vibe.
"We tried to capture the hip and trendy Chicago style, without the high prices," he says. "We've had people come from all over the country just to come to Huntington, from Chicago, IL, to Nashville."
Hanson adds that although they have a strong online presence via the store's website and Facebook and Twitter accounts, it was the desire to connect with local customers that drew them to open the physical location.
"We would also love to partner with local artisans who are looking for an outlet for their work, but lack the resources," states Adam Hanson. "A lot of our pieces are local and we would like to keep it that way."
Current store hours for Antiqology are Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Adam Hanson says after Thanksgiving, there will be some holiday hours, including a few weekdays and the hours will continue through the first of the New Year.
Online, Antiqology is accessible at www.antiqol ogy.com; via Facebook at facebook.com/antiqology or on Twitter at twitter.com/antiqology.
For more information, contact the Hansons at the store by calling 388-9959.
The store is located at 544 N. Jefferson St.

Well, guess what? I am IN LOVE with those cornflakes! They are just magically delicious, and are perfectly, naturally sweet all on their own. They've got a great texture, with just the right amount of crunch... and they never get too soggy. They really are so delicious and great.
And, as for that Strawberry Crisp cereal? I love it too!! There used to be something like this made by Special K (or something like that), and Mr VE&T and I really loved it. I'm so happy to find a new version with fewer and more-wholesome ingredients. The flakes have a nice crispy crunch to them, and have a touch of sweetness. On mornings when I want something a little sweeter, this cereal satisfies my inner kiddo, without going overboard. Also, I must say, there are SO MANY dried strawberries inside! At first, there were so many that I was afraid I was somehow getting all the berries in the whole box in my first bowl of cereal... but upon inspection, the entire box was chock full of little ruby-colored bits. That is so awesome that they haven't skimped on the berries!
The only bummer about these cereals is their price tag. They aren't cheap - probably because of having so many organic ingredients. One local store sells them for $6.50 per box! Whoa. That said, with some careful snooping, I'm often able to find them on sale and stock up. They are definitely my two new favorite cereal flavors - and the cupboards are that much less likely to be cereal-free than they were before.

1901's For Your 911
17 comments:
Great recommendation LAS, thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Minnetonka's wear well, but leave their cheap dye on your socks and feet. I've had a pair for a year and a half so the price per wear is in the cents. Though, seriously, don't wear nice socks with them.ReplyDelete
Beautiful shoe. It's all about the chocolate suede though.ReplyDelete

Ah, you had me so excited with the beginning of your article... Driving mocs are just not my thing. Any other options?ReplyDelete

I love Belgian shoes for my knockarounds.ReplyDelete

I saw these McNairy moccasins recently:ReplyDelete
Might be a good boat shoe alternative.
I have that same exact pair and I love them, I don't wear them too much though.ReplyDelete
I've worn my Tod's HEAVILY for about 6 years....when the initial nubbed sole wears down, I take them to a cobbler and get flat sole thrown on for about $50....something that could make the investment last a bit longer. I've had my oldest pair re-soled 3 times now and they still look great.ReplyDelete
was also recently looking for a boat alt. just ordered a pair of tan arrow two eye tie mocs, crepe sole (shown in black): http://www.flickr.com/photos/protec/4584136707/ReplyDelete
it was a hard decision, as the canoe mocs look great too:
dude is super nice, takes 6-7 weeks to reach your doorstep.
Ah, fashion. Always in search of the next trend before it plays itself out. If boat shoes are only "authentic" as long as their wearers actually partake in some sort of maritime activity, why wouldn't the same logic apply to driving mocs? Anywho, if what you want is a moccassin constructed shoe for casual wear that doesn't paint you as some kind of poseur, there are plenty of choices. Bean bluchers, camp mocs, canoe mocs, boat shoes with lug soles are all traditional footwear options that can be had in any price range. Or, just get your boat shoes resoled with a camp sole if you can't bear the embarrassment anymore.ReplyDelete
Tod's w/o socks -- the way to go!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 22, 2011 at 12:08 AM
i've been looking for the exact same type of shoes. i've come across these ferragamo's from a few seasons ago, they're all over ebay. leather soled.ReplyDelete
My beaters are H&M Fake Tod's, 25 euros. http://i54.tinypic.com/i4lpxf.jpgReplyDelete
Using C&J for proper loafering needs though
My summer casual go-to is the Moai slip on by El Naturalista. It's a little more bulky and casual than a driver but very comfortable, especially for a bigger guy in need of a little more cushion. Works well with jeans and linens and shorts.ReplyDelete
I just received a pair of the 1901 driving loafer in mustard yellow, and I'm in love. I have a pair of Tod's that I found brand new (no wear on the soles whatsoever) for less than fifty bucks—and they're great. I will say that these Nordstrom shoes are much more comfortable. The footbed is padded a bit more and they just feel… softer. I'll be ordering the indigo pair tomorrow. I originally heard about them on this blog a while back but didn't pull the trigger until I saw selected colors on sale for $49.95, a total steal.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the recommendation, LAS. These shoes are fantastic.
That shoes is so fashionable and trendy. Love the design so much.ReplyDelete

NATO Missile Defense and the European Phased Adaptive Approach: The Implications of Burden-Sharing and the Underappreciated Role of the U.S. Army
October 18, 2013
Authored by Mr. Steven J. Whitmore, Dr. John R. Deni.
View the Executive Summary
NATO's ballistic missile defense initiative remains a work in progress, but a lack of interceptor and sensor contributions on the part of the European allies is likely to have significant implications for the U.S. Army. In particular, the U.S. Army is likely to face increased manpower demands, materiel requirements, and training needs in order to meet the demand signal created by the NATO ballistic missile defense program.

Music Publishers: We Need Strong Copyright Laws Because We Don't Like The Consumer Electronics Association
from the um,-what? deptA few folks have sent over a Forbes article by David Israelite, the head of the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA), provocatively entitled: We Need Strong Copyright Laws Now More Than Ever. I read it carefully, expecting an argument to discuss concerning copyright law... but it never comes. Instead, the entire article appears to be about how the Consumer Electronics Association is big, and the NMPA is small. So, copyright.
Technically, the article is a "response" to another Forbes piece, by Gary Shapiro, the head of the Consumer Electronics Association, in which he notes that a series of recent issues suggests that copyright law is not serving its proper function, and the time is right to take "a fresh look at copyright laws." The article makes the case that copyright laws do have a purpose, and it even celebrates some actions by the entertainment industry to seek to innovate and embrace some new technologies. There's actually very little that I think anyone on any side of the debate should find particularly controversial. So, without an actual argument possible to make, Israelite decided to just focus solely on the fact that CEA is bigger than NMPA.
The first eight paragraphs of the article are just attacks on CEA. Then there's finally one paragraph that actually talks about copyright. Just one:
Copyright significantly contributes to the trade balance for our nation. A song written decades ago in Nashville can be heard, legally, in Japan, and today's American hits instantly become top international downloads. Products associated with copyright, and this goes beyond music to include television, movies, newspapers, magazines, books, and computer software, are one of the few sectors expanding internationally. The most recent data finds copyright industries outpacing aircraft, auto, food, and pharmaceuticals in sales and exports. And as our economy gets back on track, consider the power behind songwriter-driven small businesses that provide jobs in every state.Of course, there are multiple problems and misleading aspects to this paragraph. It assumes that copyright is the same thing as the music itself. While the music may contribute to the economy, that does not mean that copyright itself contributes to the economy. Second, he assumes that "stronger" copyright laws would somehow increase the ability of those sectors to make money, when there's little evidence to actually support that. There's just a big correlation/causation error. Either way, nothing in the post actually touches on the title of the article. It basically is just a piece to bash the Consumer Electronics Association because Shapiro mentioned in his article that the NMPA supported SOPA last year, and how that was a move in the wrong direction.

Boise Milk - http://www.boisemilk.com - - Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boise…8011966383
We are a home delivery company who delivers milk, bread, eggs and other perishable items to peoples homes each week. We operate in the "Treasure Valley" and deliver to the following cities: Boise, Meridian, Kuna, Nampa, Star and Eagle Idaho. We specialize in one time per week delivery and we bill on a weekly basis. Although we are a serious company we take a more relaxed approach to our image - a playful nature is welcome. Our company colors consist of the baby blue and tan that consist in our logo. We also emphasize the importance of small local business and deliver as many products from local companies as possible. We are just beginning to offer fresh produce - both organic and conventionally grown so I would like it to be a significant part of your effort. More information about what we are doing can be found on our website.
Our target demographics are for middle-upper middle class families. Over 80% of the time the decision to have milk delivered is made by the mothers of the families and that is our target demographic. Nearly everyone that views this page will either not know who we are or have only heard about our company from a friend - most won't even know a home delivery service still exists in our market. Ad must also encourage visitors to hit the like button with an arrow pointing to it.
Splash page must be 600x1013. It should consist of at least 2 main sections so it can be split up and we can hyper link the three separate sections to different parts of our website. One section should be to go to the main webpage on our website (http://www.boisemilk.com), the second should go to our produce page and the 3rd should go to our blog page - yet to be built. If you visit the following site: http://designm.ag/design/designing-…-the-best/ It will show you an example of what we are looking for. In particular the layout of the Victoria's Secret ad is especially appealing. Another great example of a desirable landing page is here:
We would like to devote a significant portion to our new produce offerings. Please see our other contest for additional material we have used for advertising in the past.

GOP Donor's Company Admits Likely Legal Violations In Another Black Eye For Conservative Media
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
Last year conservative media decried a Justice Department investigation into Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands Corp. as a politically-motivated "abuse of power." But now the company itself has admitted they were probably in violation of the law.
Sheldon Adelson is the chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp., a casino and resort operating firm. He reportedly spent nearly $150 million to influence the 2012 election via donations to a super PAC allied to Mitt Romney and other outside groups (including Karl Rove's American Crossroads).
During the campaign, Adelson reportedly alleged that he was making such large donations in part because he had been unfairly targeted by the Justice Department, which was investigating whether Sands operations in China had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), an anti-bribery statute. But in its most recent annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Las Vegas Sands Corp. admitted that the company's own audit committee believes there were "likely violations" of that law:
As part of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements, the Audit Committee advised the Company and its independent accountants that it had reached certain preliminary findings, including that there were likely violations of the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA and that in recent years, the Company has improved its practices with respect to books and records and internal controls.
Bloomberg reports: "The findings signal repercussions for Sands from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice investigations of possible violations of the act, which prohibits improper business payments outside the U.S."
When the first stories of a Justice Department investigation into Las Vegas Sands were revealed in August 2012, conservative media outlets echoed Adelson's claim that the investigation was politically motivated.
Those claims reached Fox Business, where host Lou Dobbs claimed that "you have the Justice Department going after Sheldon Adelson" in a manner that "looks like politics." Dobbs also claimed that the "Obama Justice Department" was "choosing this time to go after one of the major contributors to the Republican Party" and questioned why the DOJ wasn't investigative George Soros. GOP political analyst Ron Christie told Dobbs, "For the government to start singling out individuals based on their political beliefs and their political affiliation for investigation is tyranny."
Fox Nation's headline for an AP report on the investigation similarly claimed that "This Stinks of Obama-Holder Abuse of Power."
Such claims were also prevalent on conservative blogs. In an article headlined "Probe of Romney's wealthiest donor shows Obama's Justice Department is brazenly politicized, The Blaze reported, "Government officials will no doubt claim the timing of the probe is coincidental, but that is asking us to believe a lot. The article continued, "To suggest the timing of this had no political motive strains credulity. The timing is indeed everything."
Breitbart.com juxtaposed an Obama campaign email attacking Adelson with news of the investigation, stating that while "the DOJ investigation may or may not be politically motivated," "Attorney General Eric Holder has done his best to turn the department into a political arm of the Obama administration." They added, "Certainly, the timing of the DOJ investigation and the Obama campaign's message is more than suspicious."
Conservative blogger Jim Hoft also accused the "Holder Justice Department" of "go[ing] after [a] top Romney donor."

Longtime former state Assemblyman Ira Ruskin, who represented Palo Alto for six years, died on July 3, according to his family. He was 70 years old.
The Democrat from Redwood City told his supporters in a May 2011 email that he had undergone emergency surgery for a malignant brain tumor earlier that month and that he was preparing to undergo "aggressive treatment," including radiation and chemotherapy, the Weekly reported at the time.
He said at the time that his doctors told him the tumor, while not curable, was containable. The illness halted his bid for a state Senate seat.
Ruskin was a member of the Committee for Green Foothills. He served nine years as a city councilman in Redwood City starting in 1995 and was mayor from 1999 through 2001. He was elected to the State Assembly in 2004, when he defeated Republican Steve Poizner to succeed former Palo Alto Mayor Joe Simitian. The 21st District straddles Santa Clara and San Mateo counties and includes Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside, Stanford, Redwood City, San Carlos and a small part of San Jose.
Ruskin was re-elected twice before being termed out in 2010. He was succeeded by fellow Democrat Rich Gordon.
As a Redwood City councilman, he worked with Palo Alto officials to advocate for the creation of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency, an organization of cities that use Hetch Hetchy water, which was controlled by San Francisco. Ruskin was its founding chairman. It took three bills to get it passed in the Legislature, according to the Weekly's past coverage.
Ruskin championed an environmental bill to safeguard the state through toxic-substances reporting. He introduced a bill that funded the successful Parolee Reentry Program in East Palo Alto, which helped more than 100 persons change their lives and exit the revolving door of crime, according to his Assembly record.
In 2009, he attempted to get a bill passed that would have give new authority to the California Coastal Commission to impose penalties for violations of the Coastal Act.
He served on the Budget, Business and Professions, Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials and Higher Education committees of the California General Assembly, among others. His work on the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials committee included legislation to improve water and air quality, including greenhouse-gas-emission reduction and alternative-fuels vehicles, according to his Assembly biography.
Ruskin had planned to run for Simitian's seat in the state Senate in 2012.
"Given the treatment ahead, I am withdrawing from all political activity at this time in order to focus on my recovery and to be with my wife, Cheryl, friends, and family. I will be looking inside myself to understand how I want to spend my time and how I otherwise want to contribute to the community," he said in a statement after announcing his illness.
Gordon praised Ruskin's service in the Assembly after the 2011 announcement of his illness. He said he has been "impressed by the deep respect that so many in Sacramento have for Ira."
Ruskin "obviously did an outstanding job in the State Assembly," he said.
Ruskin is survived by his wife, Cheryl Perman. He received a bachelor's degree in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 1968 and an master's in communications from Stanford University in 1983, according to his Assembly biography.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. at Temple Beth Jacob, 1550 Alameda de las Pulgas, Redwood City. Graveside services will follow at Alta Mesas Cemetery, 695 Arastradero Road, Palo Alto. Updates and announcements can be found at sites.google.com/site/iraruskinrwc.

The Wheel of Time Sand Mandala
Amazon eBook DownloadBefore you go, sign up to receive news & promotions from Shambhala.com
|Please also see our Readers Guide to Kalachakra
Here is a stunning visual introduction to the artistic and spiritual heart of Tibetan Buddhism. According to the monks who create it, the Kalachakra Sand Mandala, also known as the "Wheel of Time," imparts peace and healing to all beings and to the planet. Remarkable not only for its profound beauty but also for the intricate process of its construction—a delicate sifting of colored sands into elaborate patterns and symbols rich in meaning—the mandala serves as a visual scripture and vital key to understanding the essential teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.
This lavishly illustrated volume captures each stage of the mandala's construction, the serene joy and painstaking discipline of the monks, and the fascinating history behind its symbolism.
"This book brings a crystal clarity to one of the most profound rituals of Tibetan Buddhism. Barry Bryant has produced a gorgeous. powerful. and thorough guide to everything about the Kalachakra, from the technical details of the mandala's architecture to the deep spiritual meanings it embodies." —Daniel Goleman, author of Healing Emotions
"If you were stranded on a desert island and wanted just one comprehensive reminder of what Buddhism has to offer, plus the significance of the Kalachakra as a vehicle for world peace, it would have to be this gem. Certainly it is about the creation and meaning of the Kalachakra Sand Mandala (the monks who help to make it say they are reconstructing a representation of something that already exists: the utopia of Shambhala). But it is so much more: the life of the Buddha, his teachings, the coming of Buddhism to Tibet, the Dalai Lamas, Namgyal Monastery, the bestowing of the Kalachakra on whole communities, the initiation rituals, the practice of the Kalachakra Tantra in our daily lives to transform our consciousness . . . all in a riveting readable style. Plus some beautiful illustrations." —Mandala: A Tibetan Buddhist Journal
