(The Root) — If the nation plunges over the fiscal cliff at year's end, President Barack Obama won't take the fall. The blame will lie at the feet of congressional Republicans.
After four years of sheer obstructionism — behavior that was called out during the presidential campaign season — most Americans are pointedly aware of who is willing to further wreck the nation's economy and who would like to rescue it.
Fifty-three percent of the nation believes that if a fiscal agreement isn't reached by New Year's Eve, Republicans in Congress are the ones to blame, reports a new Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll. It also reports that only 38 percent believe that the president and the Republican Congress will reach a deal.
If those pessimists are right, then in an effort to assure a long-term deficit reduction, a series of mandatory and draconian spending cuts will jump off in less than seven weeks, coupled with the expiration of a slew of tax cuts.
Should the president's disloyal opposition insist on continuing their budget blocking to protect the richest Americans from having to bear the burden of a puny 4 percent tax increase on any earnings over a quarter of a million annually, all the rest of us will suffer.
Just the threat of the so-called fiscal cliff is already hurting the stock market, which has plunged more than 400 points in the past week. Should it happen, the fall will also hurt the middle class, burdening it with two-thirds of the tax increases, forcing families to pay about $2,000 more a year in taxes. It will hurt folks who get unemployment assistance. It will hurt doctors who accept Medicare. It will hurt college students. It will hurt defense contractors.
It will devastate the already hurting black middle class and black working poor.
Our slowly declining unemployment rate would squeal quickly into reversal. As many as 3.4 million jobs would be lost, forcing us back into a recession, hiking the unemployment rate to 9.1 percent from the current 7.9 percent.
Overall, the cost of next year's fiscal cliff-hanger could total nearly $700 billion if nothing is done, estimates the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. So, to no one's surprise, the urgency is fierce.
The president is meeting, summiting and promising to take his show on the road. He met with labor and liberal leaders Tuesday. He met with CEOs Wednesday. Friday President Obama will hold a summit with key congressional Republicans and Democrats. If gridlock revisits, the president says he'll abandon Washington and take his case to the people. In an effort to deflect blame, Paul Ryan and other Republicans on the Hill are taking to television and radio airwaves, attempting to explain how they would put the nation's fiscal house back in order.
The one thing they won't be explaining is how they caused the crisis in the first place. They won't be explaining how voting for the Bush administration's two wars, which were never on the budget books, contributed to the deficit. They won't be reminding the nation how they held the debt ceiling hostage last year, which ultimately paved the road to the cliff we're now trying to avoid.
The Republican leaders will try to avoid mentioning their anti-tax pledge to Grover Norquist and his lobbying group, Americans for Tax Reform, since their slavish allegiance to him has also contributed to our fiscal crisis. Instead, they will grant that higher taxes may be necessary — under their conditions. Then they will call for tax reforms, getting rid of tax loopholes and eliminating fraud and waste. Anything but raising taxes on the rich.
In winning last week's presidential election, Barack Obama won more than just an extended stay at the White House. He also won the upper hand in determining which segments of the federal budget get the money and which ones get the shaft.
While everyone agrees that elections have consequences, there is partisan disagreement on whether the president has a mandate. Democrats say that he does, noting that the president campaigned on increasing the taxes on annual incomes of $250,000 or more, and that the voters affirmed his position with an Electoral College landslide. Republicans say there is no Obama mandate, arguing that the president only defeated Mitt Romney by a few million votes and that the race was close in the all-important swing states.
No matter what, the Republicans now look like Wile E. Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon. If they allow the nation to go over the fiscal cliff, they'll get the blame. If they cave before the calamity occurs, the president will get the praise.
The signs of the times are already posted for all to see. Last week, Californians voted to raise the state's sales and income taxes to rescue its flailing education system. No more Mr. Fall Guy, President Obama has signaled his resolve to slay the Republicans' gilded lamb by calling for a $1.6 trillion tax hike for the richest Americans. And that tired old meme about raising taxes on the "job creators" is beginning to not even ring true inside the right-wing echo chamber.
If you recall, the wealthy paid 39 percent taxes during the Clinton era. No jobs were killed. The economy was alive and booming.
"It won't kill the country," said conservative thought leader Bill Kristol Sunday on Fox News, "if Republicans raise taxes a little bit on millionaires."

Accordance to Keynote, Part 1
In the probably-bit-off-more-than-I-can-chew department, I've recently begun teaching a Sunday School class on "Understanding the Old Testament." My intention in this class is to give folks a birds' eye view of the Old Testament, exposing them to parts of the Bible they rarely visit and often struggle to understand. To do this effectively, I can't afford to spend a lot of time going into depth on individual passages. So naturally, I've spent the last six weeks or so going through Genesis 1 and 2! At this rate, I may finish when I'm sixty!
My inability to skim the surface aside, I've been preparing a Keynote slide show each week to help focus my class's attention on the main points I want to get across. And since I tend to procrastinate, I'm thankful for great Accordance resources and a few simple tricks that make preparing this slide show a snap!
First, let me talk about some of the resources I'm using.
Bibles: As readers of this blog are probably aware by now, my preferred translation is the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). It offers a good mix of readability and fidelity to the original languages, and is generally unafraid to offer a fresh translation of those well-known passages most translations are unwilling to modify (John 3:16, Psalm 23, Matthew 5-7, etc.). Of course, when I want to bring out an aspect of the text which is made clearer in another translation, I won't hesitate to use it. For example, when I want to bring out the structure of the underlying Hebrew text, I'll generally turn to the English Standard Version (ESV). When I wanted to discuss whether Genesis 1:1 should be translated "In the beginning God created" or "When God began to create", I used the Jewish Publication Society translation (JPS) as an example of the latter rendering.
Finally, while I don't show the underlying Hebrew text to my class, I do use the tagged Hebrew text in my own preparation to teach.
Commentaries: While I'm going into the first three chapters of Genesis in some depth, I am not doing a lot of verse-by-verse exposition. Rather, I'm focusing on bringing out the literary structure of these texts and the way they would have been understood by their original audience. Consequently, I don't often turn to expositional and critical commentaries when preparing for my class. Instead, I tend to go to background commentaries like the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Background Commentary on the Old Testament (ZIBBCOT) and the IVP Bible Background Commentary on the Old Testament. I once read a review by a New Testament scholar I admire who panned the use of background commentaries because any more traditional commentary worth its salt will usually provide the relevant historical background information. While that's certainly true, the challenge is often finding those nuggets amid all the verse-by-verse exposition. I love these background commentaries because they're focused on the kind of information I most want to bring out.
For much the same reason, I often find myself turning to Study Bible notes before full-blown commentaries. Study Bibles like the ESV Study Bible often have concise but highly relevant information, as well as helpful charts and images that can easily be incorporated into a Keynote presentation.
Graphic Resources: Some of the commentaries and study Bibles already mentioned are a great source for visuals that can be dragged into Keynote slides. ZIBBCOT had a great illustration of the three-tiered cosmology which most ancient peoples assumed to exist, and it made such concepts as water above the sky much easier to explain.
The ESV Study Bible offered a concise chart of the days of forming and filling in Genesis 1 that helped me think through how to structure that particular slide of my presentation.
Another graphic resource I use heavily is The Accordance Gallery of Bible Art. Filled with great classic artistic depictions of various Biblical episodes, I tend to use the images in this tool to illustrate broad concepts and to add visual punch to title slides. While I'm still a little early in the Old Testament to make much use of the Bible Lands PhotoGuide, I did use the view of Israel from atop Mount Nebo to illustrate my slide that talked about the Old Testament being "The Story of a Land."
I likewise used an image of the high priest offering incense from Carta's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem for the slide on the Old Testament as "The Story of Redemption."
While I will turn to other Accordance resources from time to time, this combination of Bibles, background commentaries, study Bibles, and visual resources has served me well in quickly putting together my Keynote presentation each week. In my next post, I'll show you some of the tricks I use to get the information out of Accordance and into Keynote as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Thanks, David. Are you going to podcast your Sunday school lessons (just kidding – but I'd love to hear/see them)? Very helpful blog.
I have learned that every single Bible version falls down somewhere. I have come to appreciate the HCSB, and the courage of the translators to cast aside the poor renderings of earlier versions. But the NASB does a better job of Rom 8:28. The Amplified does better with Phil 4:13. In Acts 18:4-5, most versions do a very poor job of handling the imperfect tenses. Neither the ESV nor the HCSB brings out the transition of Paul's preaching in the synagogues on the Sabbath to full-time preaching at the coming of Silas and Timothy. He wasn't "occupied" until after they arrived (presumably bringing a monetary gift from Philippi). With their arrival, he shifted from sabbath-preaching to full-time preaching. That gets lost in most versions. The NASB nails it. Conclusion (for me): Don't rely upon just one version!
Chris Holland
Any thoughts on how intellectual property rights fit into the picture?
Helen Brown
Chris: You are free to use any Accordance material in teaching, whether in Keynote presentations, or a handout, etc. Restrictions apply to the use of large amounts of text, and to any images, only when these are published in print or on the internet.
Dennis M Callies
Did you come out with Part 2 yet?
David Lang
No, Dennis. Sorry for the delay. I'll be finishing this series up later this week.

Potent Sprays & More For Fighting Gnats
Fungus gnats are small dark flies (about 1/8″ in size) that look similar to mosquitoes and are often confused with fruit flies. They thrive in humid environments and breed in the damp soil of potted plants.
The larvae is what causes damage by eating the roots, root hairs and stems. The symptoms of an infestation can be stunted plant growth, wilting, yellowing leaves and rotting roots.
The adults feed on fungi at the top of the soil (where they lay their eggs) while the larva feasts on the roots.
Here is a collection of remedies to get them out of your house along with some tips for trying to control them:
- Dry Them Out: Allow the soil to dry very well to the point that your plants start to wither before watering again (approximately the top one to two inches of soil is completely dry). It needs to get this dry so the larvae in the soil will dry up completely (ending their cycle), the adults cannot breed in the dry soil so the cycle ends.
- Sticky Traps: You can purchase yellow sticky cards for houseplants with the purpose of indoor insect control, these will work with fungus gnats. The idea is that the color yellow will attract them and when they come to investigate, they will be stuck or trapped by the sticky substance on the card. Look for these in home and garden centers or greenhouse supply stores. If you'd like to try making your own, cover bright yellow index cards with Vaseline or Honey. Tape the card to a straw or chopstick and stick into the soil. Another easy sticky recipe is to mix equal parts petroleum jelly and liquid dish soap then use the goop to cover the yellow card.
- Killer Soap Spray Recipe: Mix 2 tablespoons Ivory liquid soap or lemon dish detergent with 1 gallon of water, use this mixture to water and drench the soil that is hosting them. After about an hour, lightly spray the leaves with clear water to rinse the soap off.
- DIY Trap: Pour a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar into a small cup, top with water. Leave the cup near the plant with the problem. They will be attracted to the vinegar and will be killed by drowning.
- Vodka Spray: Mix 1/2 cup vodka with 1 1/2 cups water, pour into spray bottle. Spray (first test a leaf to make sure the alcohol isn't too harsh for it, if it doesn't burn the leaf after a day or two it should be fine).
- Rubbing Alcohol Spray: Mix 1 cup rubbing alcohol with 1 quart of water, pour into spray bottle. Spray and treat every three days for two weeks. Make sure to test a leaf first to check the mix isn't too harsh for it.
- Tobacco: Break open a few cigarettes and make a light layer of tobacco over the top of the soil, the nicotine will repel them. Do not use on herbs or plants that are eaten and watch that pets don't have access to the tobacco.
- Try putting a layer of sand on top of the soil, this may help deter the little pests from setting up home.
- How to tell if a plant has the little critters? Here's a trick to find out if you're not sure: slice a chunk of raw potato and leave it on top of the soil where you suspect they are thriving (lay it cut side down). After seven days, lift the potato up–if you have them you will see larvae on the potato.
- To prevent another infestation, reduce watering as gnats are usually a sign of over watering. Also make sure to remove any water from the saucer underneath the pot. Make sure soil is dry between waterings.
- Remove fallen leaves and plant debris so there's no organic matter resting on the soil to attract them to feed on.

The ending came as a surprise for me. There was a lot that happened to get to the end. What did you think?

Like Terri and Poornimaa, the ending came as a surprise to me. Looking back on the narrative that led up to that ending, I can agree with the author that there was probably no other way for it to end. I was glad that Sam was the one who inherited Charlie's lands. I just hope that he used them wisely; that he remembered with love the man who saved his life, who loved him and didn't let the violent ending of Charlie and Sylvan mar his future.

I was very surprised by the sudden, violent ending. Charlie never really seemed like a person who would resort to murder, but then again, we do not know anything about his past. Maybe he was so upset by Sylvan's choice to stay with Boaty that it pushed him over the edge. No matter, it was still a very good book with a satisfying, if depressing, conclusion.

I didn't see the ending coming either, although I had made a note to myself while reading the book to think about the meaning of the knives, why he had the character as a butcher. Although the ending shocked me, it wasn't unpredictable. Why did Charlie kill Sylvan? Was it that they were both miserable? Did he go crazy? Did they argue before he killed her? How far ahead did Charlie plan it? He had the knife with him, so it must have been premeditated. It was a sad, depressing ending, but I don't see how it could have been otherwise.

I agree with all of these comments. I thought Woolrick created an ending that was both well-foreshadowed and a total surprise - something that is hard to do. The violence seemed uncharacteristic, but given the circumstances that developed throughout the book I can understand how Charlie might have seen no other way out.

I thought the ending was contrived. Obviously, Charlie and Sylvan did have other choices. Charlie could have walked away from the situation, but he was obsessed with something he couldn't have. Desire is the cause of all unhappiness, according to Buddhism. Sylvan was a disappointment, but what else could be expected from a person whose personality was formed by the "perfect moments" she saw on the movie screen.

The ending blew me away. I actually had to put the book down, I was so dumbstruck. I did not expect him to kill her. It all just broke my heart...Sylvan accusing him then walking out of court, Charlie's brother's descent into alcohol, seemed like everyone was hurt by this all consuming passion...even Sam's parents.

I was surprised as I was reading it. A bit violent, but then I realized there were clues throughout as the knives were referred to so often. Also how else could the relationship end between these two. So after giving it some thought it was a logical ending, I guess.

The ending surprised me. I could see Charlie killing himself, but was surprised at him murdering Sylvan. I was even more surprised at him doing all this when Sam was present - someone he loved and cared about or at leadt had. It was such a powerful moment that like many others, I had to stop reading for a few minutes and think about the events that led up to such a tragic action and then the ramifications of that action.

Once a person has developed hypersensitivity to a material or organism, he or she may experience symptoms the next time exposure occurs.
These symptoms usually develop in four to eight hours and include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Chills
- Shortness of breath
The symptoms usually clear up in a day or two if there is no more exposure to the reaction-causing material. Complete recovery, however, may take weeks.
In one form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a cough and shortness of breath may take days or weeks to develop and be so severe that the person needs to be hospitalized. If a person is repeatedly in contact with an allergen over months or years, the lungs may become scarred (fibrosis). Symptoms in this case may include shortness of breath during exercise, coughing up of sputum, tiredness and a gradual weight loss. Eventually, respiratory failure can occur.
Causes and Risk Factors
Many types of dust, organisms or chemicals can cause allergic reactions in the lungs, including:
- Heat-loving bacteria in moldy hay
- Contamination in humidifiers or air conditions (especially large systems in office buildings)
- Chemicals, such as urethanes (isocyanates)
- Wood dust
- Droppings from poultry or other birds.
- Chemicals used in making polyrethane foam, molding, insulation, synthetic rubber and packaging materials.
- Materials found in certain types of farming or food production or processing, including mushroom compost, moldy cork, infected maple bark, moldy barley or malt, cheese mold, sugar cane, unroasted coffee beans or weevil-infested wheat flour

Stay up to date on our entrepreneurs, events, research and more. Check out our January newsletter here.
When Ricardo Buckup and Carlos Balma graduated from university, they wanted to celebrate the occasion with their families, but Brazil's universities do not sponsor graduation celebrations. The two spearheaded a committee to organize a reception for their graduating class. The event was so successful, they have turned its concept into a business. Founded in 2002, B2 has become the go-to brand from premium graduation events, and has evolved into a premier marketing firm giving brands and advertisers unique access to Brazil's burgeoning youth market.
In its early years, B2 worked with Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing, where Felipe Ribeiro studied and was responsible for organizing the school's graduation reception. Impressed by his thoroughness and enthusiasm, Ricardo and Carlos took on Felipe as an intern before hiring him full-time.
Today, event fees paid by students and advertising are the main sources of B2's revenue. The company has cultivated a strong relationship with suppliers. Guests can also recognize signature event qualities.
In an industry where incentivize and talent retention are of utmost importance, B2 has excelled in its HR policies. They use aggressive variable pay and a transparent performance matrix to incentivize employees.
Ricardo, Carlos and Felipe have proven adept at team building and creating a strong company culture. As part of the Endeavor network, they have a chance to turn B2 into a national example of youth entrepreneurship.

There's a good reason this is probably the first bike mounted hands-free umbrella you've ever seen. Previous attempts to bring such a product to fruition fizzled out once their creators realised what a terrible idea it would be. But not the makers of the Uberhood.
It's a streamlined, aerodynamic umbrella designed to repel rain while cutting through the winds during a storm. And a literal silver lining on its underside reflects the sun's rays when there's nary a cloud in the sky, protecting you from burns. There's certainly good intentions here, but the long folding arm that connects the Uberhood to your bike's handlebars sits right in front of the rider's face, continuously obstructing their view. And watching it bounce around on the leisurely rides showcased in this promo video doesn't give me much confidence it has a chance of surviving a storm without pulling you in all directions, or flipping inside out.
It does fold down when not in use, but not completely out of the way, sticking up from your handlebars like an awkward hood ornament. So, unsurprisingly, we're hesitant to recommend this 50-quid ($80) contraption that somehow makes riding in the rain seem even more dangerous with this deployed. Instead, go for this all encompassing umbrella rainsuit, which vastly improves your chances of actually staying dry. [Uberhood via Bike Snob NYC]

The MLB Futures Game is one of baseball's hidden treasures; while officially part of the All-Star Break festivities, it's held the day before the break actually starts, and thus tends to be ignored by the baseball public. That's a shame, as it's a rare time ESPN puts analyst Keith Law—one of the best and most vocal baseball minds working today—front and center on television. It also leads to interesting moments due to the U.S.A. against The World format; yesterday featured a unique matchup of Mariners minor-league pitcher Taijuan Walker against Oakland prospect Chih Fang Pan (who is from Taiwan).
Here's a scary moment for anyone who fears balls flying at their faces, from the seventh inning yesterday when Royals outfield prospect Wil Myers destroyed an ESPN camera housing with a well-placed foul-off. (The U.S. Futures beat the World 17-5.) [ESPN2]

Wanna learn how to draw a wicked cool character from the Ben 10 Alien series? Well, for those of you that don't know who I'm about to submit, I will let you know now. Today I thought I would switch things up and upload a lesson on "how to draw Ultimate Humungousaur" , step by step. This gigantic green giant is what you call one bad ass alien specimen. For those of you that are avid followers of the Ben 10 cartoon series, you should be somewhat familiar with this creature. His first appearance was in Ben 10 Alien Force, and there he was just called " Humungousaur", and the first episode he appeared in was 'The Final Battle: Part 1'. Now even though this giant is now one of Ben's aliens, in the beginning he wasn't. Humungousaur was actually used by Albedo which is as you know a white headed clone of Ben. Anyways, the version of Ultimate Humungousaur is really rad. He is a species called Vaxasaurian from planet Terradino. He is also what you call a combination of a humanoid, and a dinosaur although he looks more like a bipedal creature. Some of his abilities consist of super strength, tough armored skin, he has a spiked tail and armor, and wicked cool missile launchers that shoot right out from his hands. Creating a replica of this Ben 10 alien species is going to somewhere in the intermediate range. If you are a novice artist you can still tackle this tutorial f you are looking for a bit of a challenge. Either way, I think you will have fun learning "how to draw Ultimate Humungousaur" because after all he is a Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. I will be back in a bit so stay tuned in folks. Peace peeps!

WASHINGTON Many people knowledgeable about the federal budget said House Republicans could not keep their campaign promise to cut $100 billion from domestic spending in a single year. Now it appears that Republicans agree.
As they prepare to take power on Wednesday, Republican leaders are scaling back that number by as much as half, aides say, because the current fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, will be nearly half over before spending cuts could become law.
While House Republicans were never expected to succeed in enacting cuts of that scale, given opposition in the Senate from the Democratic majority and some Republicans, and from President Obama, a House vote would put potentially vulnerable Republican lawmakers on record supporting deep reductions of up to 30 percent in education, research, law enforcement, transportation and more.
Now aides say that the $100 billion figure was hypothetical, and that the objective is to get annual spending for programs other than those for the military, veterans and domestic security back to the levels of 2008, before Democrats approved stimulus spending to end the recession.
Yet "A Pledge to America," the manifesto House Republicans published last September, included the promise, "We will roll back government spending to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels, saving us at least $100 billion in the first year alone."
Republican leaders have repeatedly invoked the number. On Tuesday the Web site for Representative John A. Boehner, the incoming House speaker, included a link to his national radio address on the Saturday before the midterm elections, in which he said, "We're ready to cut spending to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels, saving roughly $100 billion almost immediately."
Representative Paul D. Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who will become chairman of the House Budget Committee, said in December that the goal was to cut "a good $100 billion." At issue is so-called discretionary domestic spending, which is about one-sixth of the federal budget and does not include the more expensive and fast-growing entitlement programs like Medicare.
On Tuesday, aides to Mr. Ryan and Mr. Boehner blamed Democrats' failure to pass the regular appropriations bills for fiscal year 2011 for forcing Republicans to reduce their goal to perhaps $50 billion to $60 billion.
"House Republicans will continue to work to reduce spending for the final six months of this fiscal year bringing nonsecurity discretionary spending back to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels yielding taxpayers significant savings and starting a new era of cost cutting in Washington," said Conor Sweeney, communications director for Mr. Ryan.
Because Democrats did not pass appropriations bills last year, the government has been operating since October with appropriations continuing at the previous fiscal year's levels. It will do so until March 4, five months into this fiscal year.
The current spending levels are lower than Mr. Obama had requested for nonmilitary programs; he proposed a freeze at 2010 levels but with increases for some favored programs. The Republicans' campaign promise was based on their calculation they could cut $100 billion from Mr. Obama's higher levels.
Yet when Republicans issued their pledge last fall, it was clear that Congress would resort to a stopgap spending measure for at least part of 2011 and that, assuming Republicans won a majority, they would not be able to start work until the new Congress convened this month.
Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said, "I think they woke up to the reality that this will have a direct negative impact on people's lives.
"You know, it's easy to talk about these things in the abstract. It's another thing when you start taking away people's college loans and Pell Grants or cutting early education programs."

Actually – the mash was my doing, I always make far too much than is necessary as it's a brilliant all-rounder you can turn into any number of things – topping off shepherd's or cottage pie, mixed into fishcakes, fried with corned beef and an egg to serve as hash or just shaped into cakes, dipped in beaten egg and flour and fried till crisp. An ideal breakfast or a perfectly wonderful weeknight supper served with a couple of rashers of crisp, smokey bacon and a wobbly poached egg.
Today's lucky finds were: the end of a chunk of gruyere, a little leftover broccoli, an inch of salami and the potato – mixed together, shaped into cakes and fried they made a lunch I'd be pleased to find on any pub menu, served with a splodge of brown sauce.

22 Monaghan Street project
Milford House Collection Development- 22 Monaghan Street Milford Project Appeal
Milford Buildings Preservation Trust is launching a major project of Collections Development after being awarded Accreditation by Arts Council England. The key part of this project is to purchase 22 Monaghan Street Milford as permanent home for the collections. Located only two minutes from Milford House estate, its location is ideal and is surrounded by four listed buildings including the B1 listed R.G Mc Crum Institute and Milford Schoolhouse. The property was built by the Mc Crum family in c.1888 and was for many years home to the Headmasters of Milford National School including Mr. Todd and Mr. Kernahan. Later it was home to the Watson family who owned Drumsill House Hotel and Sam Watson who owned the Corner Shop. The property is packed with original features including staircase, ceiling cornicing, doors and even the servants bedroom in the attic. This is the only property is Milford large enough to accommodate the collections and growing number of visitors. The project will:
- Secure future of Milford House Collections
- Allow return of more original items from Milford House
- Allow the entire collection to be on public display
- Provide important visitor services including tea rooms, toilets and shop
- Provide educational programme and events
- Community meeting space
- Allow Trust to attract and provide for growing number of visitors to Milford from all over the world
- Regenerate the area through its heritage and tourism industry

Creepy clown is freaking out a British town
If you suffer from coulrophobia, stop reading. The British town of Northampton has been reporting jarring sightings of a creepy clown, who first appeared on Friday (the 13th).
The Herald & Post reports that the clown, a man fully decked out with red hair and white face with severely arched eyebrows, has been seen about two areas of town.
How spooky is he? The Independent likens his appearance to that of Pennywise from the film version of Stephen King's IT, notes that he has been seen holding a clown teddybear, and reports that when he appears he just stares at people.
NEWSER:Mom's botched suicide attempts lead to dead kids
The clown has made its way to social media, with the quick rise of the #northamptonclown hashtag and a Spot Northampton's Clown Facebook page. He has possibly spawned imitators as well: The Northampton Chronicle reports that two teens dressed as clowns knocked on a resident's door and asked if they could paint her windowsills—though they had no paint or brushes. On Facebook, the clown denied he played any part in that, and noted that "If what i am doing does get too much for people, I will have to stop." Stay tuned.

Obituary: Drake
Betty Drake
Betty Drake, 83, a long-time Grand County resident and well-known water color artist, passed away in Westminster, Colo. on April 7. Betty was raised in Blackwell, Okla., graduated from Phillips University with a degree in art, and married Don Drake in March of 1951. The Drake family moved to Grand Lake in 1956 where Betty taught school and in 1962 the family moved to Winter Park (Hideaway Park). Betty was a gifted artist in several mediums but is best known for her water color paintings for which she received national acclaim. She was an avid reader, enjoyed golf with ladies groups at the Grand Lake and Pole Creek Golf Clubs, and skied with her family at Winter Park. Betty is survived by her husband Don of 62 years, her brother JC Estes from Blackwell, Okla., and her children and grandchildren Ron and Susan Drake from Arroyo Grande, Calif. and their sons JB and Lee; Lynn and Wim Huizing from Arvada, Colo. and their daughters Anjolie, Brittany and Kerri; Kirk and Shelley Drake from Chicago, Ill.; and Jenny and Greg Harris from Fraser, Colo. and their daughters Rochelle and Stacy. Betty is also survived by four great-grandchildren. Betty's loving family is blessed with her legacy of wonderful paintings and will miss her vibrancy, warm smile, sense of humor, and the family home she created for all to visit. The greatest gift she gave was her love of family which will never die.

Inspired by BMX kids on Santa Monica beach in L.A, the Belgian designer showed oversized polo shirts and pork pie hats and comfortable jersey tailoring
There are a few colours that Kris Van Assche tend to use and he rarely ventures outside of this 'circle of friends', whether it's for a Spring or Winter collection. This time around was no exception and we saw a show full of grey shades, bright white and a strong black. Slim tailoring with cropped trousers and narrow jackets - either in a light or dark grey - came out with surprisingly big polo shirts underneath. Few shirts appeared out and there were no ties in sight.
The polo shirts were buttoned up and tucked in, rendering them a plausible option to shirts. The only few colour injections came on stripey shirts and tops, but this was quickly counterparted by dark jersey bombers and black pork pie hats. A long shirt coat impressed and a general feeling of youthful and sub cultural energy spread through the venue. A stellar KvA outing.
Dazed Digital: What was the general idea behind the collection?
Kris Van Assche: I came back from Los Angeles and this energy I felt at Santa Monica beach... all these cool guys riding their BMX bikes. They're in their 20s and they look cool but they want to be comfortable. They mix tailoring with sportswear and that to me is the new generation.
DD: So that's where the oversized polo shirts come in?
Kris Van Assche: Yeah, they're replacing the shirts underneath the suits... they stay cool and formal at the same time!
DD: You used a lot of jersey fabrics for the suits?
Kris Van Assche: Yes, the trenches and the white suits were jersey. I want my guys to be able to move. I see these guys being 35, wearing this and riding a BMX while still being comfortable!
DD: Do you have a favourite piece in the show?
Kris Van Assche: Look 1, the grey suit, a polo shirt and glasses. The bags are great as well, they're from our Eastpak collaboration.

770 E. Calaveras Blvd., Milpitas, CA, 95035
In November 1982, against the back drop of rolling hills and in a quiet city, Kaiser Permanente converted a vacant two-story office building in Milpitas into a medical facility to service approximately 50,000 medical-plan subscribers.
The new Kaiser Permanente clinic grew steadily to keep pace with its developing area and growing membership. It now stands as solid as a rock, both as an outstanding outpatient medical facility and as a respected pillar in the Milpitas community.
From its original occupancy of the 770 E. Calaveras building, Kaiser Milpitas grew to occupy 3 additional sites: the 589 Los Coches St. building opened in 1986, the 611 S. Milpitas Boulevard building, in 1990, and the 700 E. Calaveras Blvd. Building, in 2000. Today, Milpitas has a membership of 70,000. Then operating from just the one building, Milpitas offered Internal Medicine, Ob-Gyn, Pediatrics, Dermatology, Allergy and Urgent Care. It featured a Laboratory, X-ray facility and Pharmacy department.
Today it offers all the above plus Adult and Child Psychiatry, Physical Therapy, Occupational Health, Health Education, Member Services, Patient Relations, and two additional Pharmacies. Its Adult Medicine department offers Chronic Condition services in Hypertension, Cholesterol and Diabetes.

Tom Thibodeau doesn't have the reputation for being a "player's coach," but in the two years he's coached the Chicago Bulls, his players have loved playing for him. Every man on the roster was committed to his system, his defensive philosophies and to each other. As a result, the team has seen more success than they have since 1998.
Now there's a new group of players for Thibs to coach. Seven new faces to try and figure out where they can be utilized individually to help the team as a collective. And so far, the new guys have all taken to Thibodeau's coaching style and his strict attention to detail, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"It's intense. He expects you to be locked in when you come in the gym. When you're together as a team, time is valuable. So I like that," said veteran guard Kirk Hinrich.
Hinrich just missed playing for Thibodeau when he was traded in 2010, but seems to be enjoying the opportunity to play for him now.
"After being in so many different situations for different coaches, you appreciate preparation as you go along. As a younger player, you might not. You might think it's harder work or whatever. But it's nice to be in a situation where you know you're going to be prepared every day."
Preparation has been the one thing that Thibs has stressed since being named the head coach in Chicago. After being an assistant to some of the best coaches in league history – Jeff Van Gundy, Doc Rivers – Thibodeau has learned the importance of having your team practice hard and play even harder once the lights go on and it's time to play the games.
"You're striving for excellence and perfection, knowing you're not going to get to perfection," said Thibodeau. "You want to see how close you can get to it. It's important to set the bar high. Players help establish the standards you're going to have. I don't want them to be satisfied."

Europe enjoying broadband by light
But UK still in the dark
There are now over one million fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband connections in Europe, according to an Informa report.
While Sweden leads FTTH deployments, the UK isn't even on the chart.
Across Western Europe 1.4 per cent of broadband users are connected by fibre, but in Sweden that rises to over 27 per cent of its 2.34 million users.
Laying fibre is much more expensive than squeezing more bandwidth out of 20-year-old copper, but once it's been laid fibre offers many times the bandwidth of alternatives.
For private companies there's little incentive to make that kind of investment, so where FTTH has been deployed it's generally by utilities or local authorities which then allow any company to offer services over the fibre.
Up to now, anyone deciding to build a FTTH network has been forced to run around making deals with those wishing to utilise the network (telephone, television, and internet companies mainly), but in Sweden a new service called Citynet Access is attempting to standardise deals across the country. If the model works it should make it easier for new deployments to find customers, and justify their costs.
Even with such arrangements in place, investment in FTTH is very long-term - probably longer than most private companies would be prepared to accept. ®

My trusty Behmor is showing signs of age, as soon as I switch it on the drum starts to rotate. Probably a simple cure is available but as a self confessed electric string novice I have no idea what to do next. I tried talking, cajoling and even begging, but the little bugger just ignores me and carries on like Old Father Thames and just keeps rolling along.
Last night I did a roast, I usually do this in the cave (My house is very old) where I have an extension lead. Here I can see alarm bells ringing on Behmor owners heads, the instructions say 'never use an extension lead'. True but for the past three years I have been happy with the results, now I am not very happy. This time I roasted two 8oz batches in the kitchen using a fixed electrical socket. I am so used to the machine that I set it up as usual and carried on my routine of wandering about the house and messing around on the computer. I was the sudden difficulty of seeing that first alerted me followed by the smell of the smoke billowing through the room. So that was the first batch, blackened, weightless and very very oily. In the bin they go and start again, this time keep a constant watch and wait for first crack then hit the cooling button. It never came, I blinked and the beans were black again. I have never lost a roast before so losing two in a row was scary. My third roast was drastically reduced and I have an acceptable looking roast, but this morning the beans look tired and have no noticeable aroma. I will do another batch later today back in the cave and hope it was just a freaky change of wattage that caused the disaster. I now cannot wait until my new Huky 500T arrives and I can start afresh, then of course I will slide back into my usual idle forgetful self and ruin more beans. However; I will know who to blame this time.
I recently had a power problem in the house and the electrician pointed out that whoever had wired the house (Long before I was here) had used 30amp gear on a domestic lighting and ring circuit, and that some of my sockets would be better off in an execution chamber. He fitted a new fuse box with safety trips but advised a complete rewire to pass the safety codes.

Shirley was very nice to work with and she protects the client in all manners. I would recommend using Franklin Realtors again.

Shirley is an excellent Realtor, with a strong knowledge base of the Springfield market. She operates with a high degree of ethics.

During negotiations she represented us well and we are happy with the outcome.
When it cam time to buy a home, she was readily available to show us many, many homes. Her knowledge of the market, understanding of home features and how it equates to value as well as knowledge of potential building/property issues was an asset to our process. We believe we purchased a house that is not only an excellent value, but will provide a wonderful home for our family.

May 17, 2013. After a delightful, and interesting ride from Benbow to Shelter Cove we were ready for lunch. We had a picnic lunch with us, and we headed down to King Range National Conservation Area Mal Coombs Park. It has picnic tables, a landing strip nearby, campground nearby, ocean nearby and the Cape Mendocina Lighthouse, as well as a few other surprises.
Here is that campground as we drove into the park area, lots of tents and small campers, remember Shelter Cove Road?? Smaller is better, in this case, in my opinion.
Like I said, there is a landing strip nearby, and me and planes, well, I heard this one and turned to snap off a photo. My kinda plane. If you look closely, you can see campers parked way back there - - -
ZOOM, thanks to Sony Too, and some serious cropping with the digital editing software, shows that some smaller motorhomes and trailers do manage to traverse Shelter Cove Road. There were only a few 5th wheels in the campground, one of them was about 10 foot shorter than our Tana. 10 foot makes a lot of difference towing roads like Shelter Cove.
There are several memorials in the park:
In Memory of Our Shipmates and Friends.

A lovely stature of Mario. (Photo less than lovely. SIGH The bright sun fooled Sony Too and me. Ooops.)
Here is the Cape Mendocina Lighthouse, I found two rather nice web pages that talk about the lighthouse, the first (link broken as of October 2018), here, is the basics, but, very well done. The second page, here, is very detailed and is fascinating reading! Don't forget to click!
After lunch, we drove around town, discovering this beaut of a home, with a killer view of the water.
Man stopped so I could take some additional photos, when I spied:
More Sony Too zoom, did not see the inhabitants, those are some fancy residences, eh? If you know what resides here, let me know.
Must have at least one charming old boat in the yard.
It was rather calm on the sea:
Oh, my, what does Sony Too zoom? Yes, sea lions.
More of our visit to Shelter Cove to come. Come on back now - -

Voice actress Yu Kobayashi looks like an angel. Her art, however, looks like it's from the smouldering depths of hell.
Previously, Kobayashi she drew a character from the animated version of visual novel Umineko no Naku Koro ni, the character she voiced in Wii game Arc Rise Fantasia and the I-have-no-effing-clue for Konami's Mankai Princess.
The horror.
Kobayashi is doing voice work for MonHun Nikki anime, which is based on the PSP game MonHun Nikki: Poka Poka Airu Mura. Kobayashi voices the game's main character, Nyaito.
This is what the Monster Hunter character looks like.
And this is what Yu Kobayashi has drawn after being possessed by Satan.
Dramatic close-up.
It's not funny. STOP SMILING!!

Event Details for Global Water Story opens at the Iziko South African Museum:
- Date/s: - 12/06/2019
- Times: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
- Location: Iziko Museum
- City: Cape Town

Water is the most vital resource for life on Earth; no living thing exists without it. Iziko Museums of South Africa will open a new exhibition, H2O Today, at the Iziko South African Museum on the 29th November 2018. The exhibition, organised by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), examines the diversity and challenges of water sources worldwide and promotes conversation, creativity and innovation through art, science and technology.
H2O Today is part of the Smithsonian's #ThinkWater Initiative to raise awareness of water as a critical resource for life. Using immersive content, interactive activities, and digital media, this international exhibition – supplemented with Iziko curated African content and collections objects – brings a global conversation at a critical time within the Western Cape context, having recently experienced the worst water crisis in living memory.
H2O Today dives into what it means to live on a planet where 71 percent of the surface is covered in water, of which less than three percent is drinkable. The exhibition highlights water's criticality in daily life worldwide through water power, industry, agriculture and home use. It explores the science of water from the hydrological cycle, weather and climate to its physical power as an architect and sculptor of landscape. The exhibition showcases global examples and striking imagery augmented with audiovisual material that tells the story of Earth as the water planet, water as our home, ways that water shapes culture, rising tides and sea level rise, and innovative solutions to some of the planet's greatest water challenges.
The US Consul General to Cape Town, Ms Virginia Blaser had first-hand experience of the extraordinary challenge the City and its residents faced during the height of the recent drought. She said: "I am proud that the American people contributed more broadly to the drought-fighting effort, by changing our water-use habits, being water-wise, and by funding the Smithsonian Institution's H2O Today exhibition, and other Provincial and Municipal water projects. This special exhibition teaches us all that water scarcity is an issue we must combat together."
An immersive 3D artwork of Victoria Falls, anthropology objects that chronicle the evolution of the water canister from an ostrich egg used by the Khoi San to the plastic water bottles that we use today, a selection of iconic images that document Cape Town's water crisis, specimens from Iziko's collections that showcase the aquatic life of Table Mountain and the two oceans flanking it, and a time lapse of tidal waters that influence Cape Town's rich marine biodiversity, presents an African and local context.
"Water scarcity is not a uniquely Cape Town story – it is a shared global phenomenon. This exhibition brought to South Africa in partnership with the US Consulate in Cape Town, and the Smithsonian Institution is an example of a multi-dimensional relationship enabling an inclusive conversation at this critical time. It demonstrates how museums, through its exhibitions and programmes, can create awareness of relevant societal issues", says Ms Rooksana Omar, CEO, Iziko Museums of South Africa.
Unparalleled on the African continent, the Iziko South African Museum, situated in the prestigious precinct of the Company's Garden, is the second oldest scientific institution in South Africa and an iconic Cape Town attraction. The museum is a hub of indigenous knowledge generation, heritage, biodiversity and science geared towards creating better understanding of the earth and its biological and cultural diversity, past and present.

Before this story even starts, it's time to lay the cards out on the table for everyone to see. I am not an engine builder, and truth be told, this is my very first small-block build-well partial build, at least. Sure, I've been present during several engine builds and even assisted friends in their garage a time or two, but this one is different. This build is done nearly solo-emphasis on the word "nearly." The expert advice of an auto mechanic neighbor helped chart me through some uncertain waters. Most of the time-consuming work was already knocked out of the way, like the machining and assembly of the crank, pistons, rods etc.
This story had its humble beginnings about four years ago. Back in the year 2001 or 2002, I was a starving college student, working part-time, with a wife and one-and-a-half kids; needless to say, money was tight and nearly nonexistent. On top of that, my daily driver at the time was a '58 Chevy truck. Being in college with a family and a project vehicle just don't mix.
While browsing through the local paper, I saw an ad for a parts house sale on small-block Chevys. Small-block or long-block, the choice was yours. I chose the long-block for about $900. I removed the tired old 283 from the '58 truck and put in all the old 283 stuff, like pulleys, intake, carb, oil pan, etc. onto the new small-block, put the engine back in the truck, and that was it. The budget was gone, and the wife had laid down the law about spending any more money on the truck. So, the project truck was parked and sat motionless for the next few years. The engine had been started once for about a minute, and that's it. Now, here we are, halfway through 2006. It's time to pull that small-block out of the truck and finally build it the way it should have been done over four years ago.
Even now, building within a budget is still a concern, so in order to do this right and curb spending, a budget of $2,500 has been set. Since the engine was purchased over four years ago, we have conveniently discounted the $900 purchase price of the block. To do this right, the first people we went to for help were the folks at Holley, Lunati, and Weiand. Holley is certainly no stranger to the automotive world. If you scroll through the Holley catalog or Web site, they have a kit that perfectly fits our application. The Holley SysteMAX II is the perfect foundation for this rebuild, and the $1,450 price tag is perfect. The SysteMAX II comes with fully assembled Holley 68cc cylinder heads, an intake manifold, a Lunati cam with 235-/240-degree duration at 0.050, 0.490/0.490-inch lift, and 112-degree lobe separation, lifters, hardened pushrods, head bolts, a double-roller timing chain and gears, and assembly lube. Since this engine was going into a daily-driver wagon, we opted for a milder street cam, duration 276/ 286, lift 0.454/0.454. During this small-block build, we chose to use all Holley, Lunati, and Weiand parts. Rather than combine brand X with brand Z then try to make it work with brand A, we chose to use parts specifically engineered to work together.
To give you a closer look at the parts involved in this small-block buildup, we have included photos and price tags. While we did go over the projected $2,500-dollar budget, it wasn't by much, so don't tell my wife about the extra $359 dollars.

Microsoft has put its final touches on Office 2010, an enhanced version of Office 2007 that users will be able to download starting on May 11 (the boxed, retail version arrives sometime in June). As with many new iterations of popular applications, one vital question must be asked: Do you need the new version if you're already comfortable with the previous one? If you're a home or small-business user, probably not. That said, Microsoft packs in enough new conveniences and performance tweaks that you'll actually want this upgrade—not true of every Office upgrade.
Three categories of users should regard Office 2010 as an essential upgrade: Anyone who creates graphically rich documents and presentations; anyone who buys software for a whole corporation, especially if that business relies on collaboration and sharing tools; and anyone in need of the new 64-bit compatibility which enables users to create worksheets even more humongous than 32-bit Excel's limit of 2GB.
Microsoft Office 2010: Pricing
I looked at the $499.99 Professional edition, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and OneNote. Home and small-business users will be most interested in the $279.99 Office Home and Business edition (which omits Publisher and Access), and the $149.99 Office Home and Student (which omits Publisher, Access, and Outlook). Other, higher-priced editions for corporate and enterprise use include tools for working with SharePoint servers and other collaboration tools.
For the first time, Microsoft doesn't offer upgrade pricing on any Office edition; you'll need to buy either a full copy or the new "Product Key Card" option which gives you only an activation key (no DVD or packaging) so you'll need to download a trial version and use the product key to activate it. The Product Key Cards have street prices typically about two-thirds the price of the boxed versions.
Microsoft Office 2010: Enhanced not Transformed Interface
Unlike Office 2007, which introduced a brand-new Ribbon interface that proved a point of contention among consumers, 2010 lacks a steep learning curve. By now, most users feel at home with the Ribbon, and the 2010 version improves on it by adding an option to create custom tabs that contain only the tools I use most often.
Office 2007 offered a well-designed equivalent of the old File Menu, with clear options for saving, printing, and sharing files. The only problem with this menu was that many users never figured out how to access it, because Microsoft decided to be really clever by removing the word "File" from the top-line menu and replacing it with a circular "pearl" decorated with the Office logo. Microsoft didn't highlight that the pearl wasn't merely an ornament, but the same interface feature that every other productivity program on earth labels "File."
Office 2010 nixes the pearl in favor of the File tab and introduces a "Backstage" view that puts all these functions and more on a spacious menu, complete with print preview. I spend a lot of time printing, managing, and sharing documents, and the new Backstage view makes me wonder how I managed without it for so many years. This time around, Office builds in PDF export from the start, though Word still doesn't supply a built-in redaction (content-hiding) tool of the kind that security-conscious users have wanted for years. Microsoft makes redaction possible through a downloadable tool that isn't officially "supported," which means they don't promise it will work. I'm glad the feature is there, but it's not the most confidence-inspiring way to offer a crucial security feature.
In Office 2007, few users discovered they could hide the ribbon by clicking in it, or pressing Ctrl-F1. The Office 2010 ribbon sports an arrow icon that reminds you to click on it to turn the ribbon on or off. As in the 2007 version, if you tap the Alt key in 2010, the Ribbon displays little boxed letters you can type to perform tasks entirely from the keyboard. I was impressed to see that Microsoft added new keyboard shortcuts to perform tasks that required the mouse in 2007. Some features, however, such as paragraph styles, still require too much mousing.
Unfortunately, Microsoft wasn't ready to supply the software that will let you share and edit documents in a browser using the new Office Web Apps, but we'll follow up with a full report when we can.
One of the two best innovations in Excel 2010 is very small; the other is very big. The small innovation is Sparklines, a miniature line or bar graph that occupies a single cell, and displays trends or totals from any region of your worksheet. This is a brilliant feature that puts clear graphic information inside a table (typically next to the data that it represents), and it makes it easier than ever before to visualize information quickly. It's another feature that makes me wonder how I managed without it before.
The big new feature are Excel's enhanced new Pivot Table tools, including a Slicer that lets you filter data in a Pivot Table simply by selecting an item in a list, a method that's faster and more intuitive than the complex gyrations required in previous versions of Excel. I haven't tested the freely downloadable add-in called PowerPivot for Excel 2010 that makes it possible to filter millions of lines of code, but what I've seen of Excel's built-in filtering tools confirms that Excel continues to outclass every other tool for large-scale data manipulation.
When Apple introduced the Numbers spreadsheet application in its iWork suite, it didn't try to rival Excel, but instead created a new kind of spreadsheet that acts as a canvas rather than a grid. You can position one or more tables in a Numbers worksheet and intersperse them with graphics and charts. Microsoft doesn't try to match the Numbers way of doing things, but I noticed that one of the sample worksheets supplied by Microsoft to show off Excel's capabilities looks a lot like a Numbers worksheet. Microsoft simply hid the grid lines around separate regions of the worksheet, so the resulting visual effect is a lot like a Numbers sheet.
Microsoft Office 2010: OneNote and Publisher
OneNote is Microsoft's flexible and innovative note-taking app, which seems to divide users between those who think it's the greatest data-collection tool ever invented, and those who can't see the point in it. I admire the technology (which includes a feature that indexes spoken words recorded through a microphone, and a wiki-style linking between notebook pages), but OneNote is the kind of app that you'll probably only use if you're willing to put more or less your whole life into it. If you're a OneNote fan, you'll love the new version, which lets you create notes while working inside other Office apps, and adds a dock-to-desktop feature that keeps the notebook open on the desktop for easy access while you work in non-Office apps. OneNote also gets welcome improvements to text-formatting features, and the same Ribbon interface as the rest of the suite.
Publisher, which has sometimes seemed to be the forgotten sibling in the Office family, gets the ribbon interface, OpenType typography and the same sleek graphic tools found in the rest of the suite. Publisher benefits more than any other app in the suite from the Backstage dialog for printing and previewing, where the a rich and well-defined set of printing options is based on information about the printer's capabilities that Publisher extracts by querying the printer itself.
Microsoft Office 2010: The Verdict (So Far)
Office 2010 still has one or two annoying faults, but far fewer than any other large-scale application suite. For example, when you delete a paragraph in Word, or paste in text from the clipboard, you still may be puzzled by the decisions Word makes about how to format your text. Frustratingly enough, Word still doesn't let you store printing options (like duplex printing) inside a document, so you'll need to remember to select duplex printing every time you print that file. Microsoft clearly knows how to store printing options with a document—Publisher has exactly that capability built-in—and it's incomprehensible why they haven't built this into Word.
I've had to look very hard to find anything to complain about in Office 2010. What I've seen of the latest version of Microsoft's wildly successful productivity suite is a potent combination of innovation and ease of use, and it adds new features with the shallowest possible learning curve (assuming you've already mastered the ribbon, of course). If you're a casual user or are on a tight budget, you can probably manage without this upgrade. If you can afford it, it's money well spent, and power users with the cash to spend will find a lot to like in Microsoft Office 2010. But upgraders will need to spend more cash than ever before to get the latest version, because Microsoft has completely eliminated the special upgrade pricing that was available for all previous versions. I'll be updating this article with more content (including comparisons to alternative suites, a review of Access 2010, and more information about enabling collaboration with Sharepoint 2010) when the suite actually launches and I've had more time to test it. But the few days I've spent with it thus far have really impressed me. Office 2010 looks like a worthy upgrade of Microsoft's office suite juggernaut.

Computer Shopper published this deansguide article 9-11-09
Is there empirical proof that social media sells wine? If you take my experience, as an example, it does sell wine. If you are a Chief Marketing Officer, Wine Tasting Room manager, or anyone tasked with selling wine you may say no to social media. You may have created a Facebook page. You may have registered on Twitter. You may have even established a blog. Yet all of your efforts have fallen flat with a resounding thud! No uptick in sales, no mad rush to the tasting room, no phone lines burning off the hook. What happened? You forgot to do a lot of something-here are 6 reasons nothing has happened yet:
- Participation: you set up your Twitter, Facebook, blog, and LinkedIn presences thinking they would run themselves with minimal participation- wrong
- Plan: you showed up on each network without a plan to engage, a strategy, or a purpose
- Call to Action: you don't ask your audience to do anything; your messages simply make statements without a compelling reason for audience participation with you
- Targeting: you utilize the "more the merrier" approach where you will shotgun your messages without targeting the audience that is most interested in your products and services
- Twitter: you are not utlizing Twitter as a source of sales leads and list building with consumers as well as businesses
- Facebook: you are not utilizing Facebook as your customer relationship management tool to build and maintain customer loyalty
- Measurement: you are not developing a system to track and analyze which messages are working to engage with customers, which messages are eliciting a call to action. Without this information, you can NOT continually tweak your strategy and messages to improve results

A bus driver in China crashed into a truck recently while he was checking a text message and looking away from the road. How do I know? The whole thing was caught on video.
This isn't the first time we've seen a bus driver crash because he was distracted. I personally can't wait for self-driving buses to hit the roads.
