Overstock CEO Byrne Says Social Media Casts Consumers in the Leading Role
In his keynote address at the All About eCommerce Virtual Conference & Expo presented by eM+C on June 4, Patrick Byrne, chairman/CEO of the online closeout retailer Overstock.com, implored audience members to use social media as a tool to help their businesses "put consumers in charge." Social media enables companies to communicate with, not at, their customers.
With social media still in its infancy, it yields many misconceptions. So Byrne laid out several current myths about social media and countered some of them:
- it's a fad: Social media has had an adoption curve that's even more aggressive than the early Internet adoption curve, Byrne said;
- it's too complicated;
- it won't work for my business;
- it's for kids: You see quite a bit of penetration in the 35- to 49-year-old age bracket, Byrne noted;
- it takes too much time;
- it costs too much; and
- you can't measure the success of social media: Unlike advertising broadcast on radio or TV, where you have to approximate the ROI, there are many aspects of social media that you can track, Byrne said.
Reasons to use social media
The days of tricking consumers are over, Byrne said. People are rational, and they know how easy it is for companies to manipulate centralized information sources (e.g., radio, TV, print ads). "You can't get away with being the bad guy anymore," he added.
In order to manage your brand — i.e., consumers' perceptions of what you're about — it's necessary to speak with consumers on a real-time, conversational level. Social media allows this and offers the following benefits, although Byrne readily admitted that no one has really figured out how to monetize social media yet:
- it's targeted;
- generates word-of-mouth;
- viral;
- relatively inexpensive, although this could change if someone figures out where the niches are and how to monetize it;
- draws direct feedback by inverting the relationship between the corporation and the consumer, putting the consumer in charge;
- gains the same conversion tracking as a normal online marketing channel; and
- provides nimbleness, which demands a much tighter marketing cycle.
Interruption-based versus permission-based
"We have to rethink our conventional approach to marketing," Byrne said; "to get away from interruption-based to opt-in." The old way of marketing allowed companies to control perceptions of reality; with the new wave of marketing, including social media, reality is perception. "If a product is fundamentally lousy, the public's going to know about it," Byrne said. "If that's the reality, then that's going to drive how it's perceived. It's going to be less about spin and more about walking the walk."
Such outbound marketing tactics as e-mail blasts, direct mail, trade shows, print and broadcast ads are taking a back seat to inbound marketing — SEO/SEM, blogs, viral videos, RSS, social networks, new media — in this new wave of permission-based marketing.
For Byrne, marketing has transformed from broadcasting to narrowcasting to now inbound. "When people want information on something and they're indicating through their behavior that they want something, you want to be there so they can then get that information. It's no longer tricking people to pay attention while they're watching something else," he said.
Social media is completely divorced from the paradigm that marketers will cram something down your throat, Byrne added. It's much more about the company being there to serve the public.
We'll continue our coverage of Byrne's presentation next week, where we'll discuss his thoughts on reputation management, social media for e-commerce and how to measure social media success.

How Republican administrations always lead to an economic meltdown — in 10 easy steps

The Never ending Story of Republican Economic Incompetence
Here's the standard Republican Economic Playbook ever since Reagan took office in 1981:
Step 1: Republicans get into power and then cut taxes as much as possible on the rich and big corporations.
Step 2: Republicans brag about how the economy has improved on essentially borrowed money since reduced tax income means that more money must be borrowed to offset the loss in taxes. Interest will then have to be paid on that borrowed money for a long, long time, thus reducing the ability of the government to invest in people and programs.
Step 3: Republicans suddenly notice that less tax money is coming in, and cut government spending on programs for the poor and middle class.
Step 4: Republicans undermine unions as much as possible to try and help their corporate friends pay as little as possible in wages. Over the long term, this results in regular people having very little money. Republicans also resist raising the minimum wage and resist all wage increases as much as possible. This also results in the poor and middle class having little money over the long term. Income inequality expands. The well off get richer, and everyone else gets poorer.
Shameless Marketing:
Step 5: Republicans avoid much-needed infrastructure spending programs, which would help the nation by providing jobs,growing the economy, and increasing the amount of taxable income which could help pay off debt. Republicans tend to avoid big infrastructure programs because they have convinced themselves that, in general, Government Spending Is Bad—except on certain things like expensive military weapons, in which case, they seem to believe that one can never spend too much.
Step 6: Republicans watch in total surprise as businesses start collapsing, and more and more regular people start defaulting on their mortgages, bank loans, and credit cards. Since most businesses cater to the poor and middle class, when regular people do not have any money, most businesses end up with fewer customers, and thus, little money. Welcome to another Republican created recession.
Step 7: Republicans do little to fix the recession, since fixing the economy would involve reversing what the Republicans actually did while in office. Eventually, voters put Democrats back into power, hoping that the Democrats will be able to fix the bad economy. The Democrats increase Government spending with an infrastructure program to counteract the economic slowdown caused by the Republicans. Republicans scream bloody murder about how the Democrats are creating government debt with their spending. As Republicans do this, they ignore the huge amount of government debt which was created by 1) Republican tax cuts, 2) the economic slowdown caused by Republican cuts in spending to pay for their tax cuts, and 3) the economic slowdown caused by Republicans fighting unions, fighting wage increases, and fighting all efforts to implement big infrastructure programs.
Step 8: The economy slowly recovers due to measures which were both pushed for by Democrats and fought against by Republicans every step of the way.
Step 9: After years of economic improvement under Democratic leadership, Republicans spend countless millions of dollars trying to convince voters that they will do a better job with the economy than the Democrats did. Voters eventually vote the Republicans into power.
Step 10: Go to Step 1.

Toronto Blue Jays defeat Boston Red Sox, 9-3
TORONTO -- Delivered by Keith Foulke, the pitch clipped Eric Hinske just below the arm, the former Red Sox closer putting on base his fifth consecutive batter (walk, single, walk, single, hit batsman) of last night's seventh inning.
Hinske, visibly upset, spread his arms, looked at Foulke, and shouted, ''Come on, man."
The source of Hinske's dissatisfaction? Was there a history between the two?
''No," Hinske said. ''I got hit right in the nipple. Not fun. He said on ...
TORONTO -- Given the level of radioactivity all season, it's hard to imagine the Red Sox bullpen could become even more unstable at this stage of the season. But Terry Francona's decision to use his closer, Mike Timlin, in the seventh inning Monday night came as a surprise to Timlin and was upsetting to Timlin's fellow relievers, according to lefthander Mike Myers.
''There was a lot of scratching of heads down there," Myers said before last night's 9-3 loss to the Blue ...

ILEC 2017: Clarion call for a curriculum re-look
Fast-paced changes in legal domain and the need for India's education system to keep pace was in focus as the inaugural edition of 'Indian Legal Education Conclave' concluded in New Delhi recently. Organized by Careers360, the one-day conclave saw top academics and practitioners from across the country brainstorming on the theme -- 'From Volume to Value Creation – Challenges and Opportunities'. Maheshwar Peri, Founder and Chairman, Careers360 welcomed the gathering while Mahesh Sarma, Editor introduced the theme of the conclave.
Re-inventing curriculum
Dr. R Venkata Rao, Vice Chancellor of NLSIU Bangalore, in his key note address set the tone for the conclave by wondering whether the Bar Council of India (BCI), the regulator of legal education in the country, had limited the perspectives of legal education to mere litigation. "Has the Bar Council of India prepared the curriculum of legal education only from the perspective of litigation and litigating lawyers? Has the time now come for us to have a re-look at the curriculum because about 40 years ago the only career that was there for the law graduates could have been litigation. But today much water has flown under all the bridges," he said. "The objective with which NLU was established was to provide quality inputs to litigation. Today you have 21 NLU schools trying to re-invent legal education in ones' own way," Dr. Rao said, highlighting the role of NLUs in India's legal education system.
Problems in legal education
A host of VCs from top national and top private law colleges, reputed law firms and corporates, key policy-makers, and legal practitioners voiced their concerns on legal education that was not in sync with changing expectations. Quality of teaching, inculcating values and skills among students to create quality lawyers and research were dwelt upon in detail by the participants. "The quality of teaching is an important first objective. Quality research and publication, how to encourage public service among the students and how law schools can engage students in firms, advocacy and policy formation inside India and outside and finally the industry-academia leadership remain issues of concern," said Dr. Srikrishna Deva Rao, VC of NLU Odisha, flagging off some of the issues plaguing India's legal education.
Dr. Poonam Saxena, VC, NLU Jodhpur emphasized that quality of lawyers was dependent on quality of teaching. "If you want good quality lawyers; who is going to produce them? Where are we going to get good teachers that should be the focus also. Academicians cannot take a backseat. They are the ones with whom a potential lawyer or potential judge have the first ever interaction and it is an everlasting interaction. If you have a good teacher in class half of the thing is done," she said.
Pointing out that research was an important function of law colleges, Dr. M Gandhi, Dean, VIT Law School lamented that the curriculum did not give much importance to legal research. The nature of current demands on the profession and the concomitant demand on professionals was highlighted by Dr. Purvi Pokhariyal, Director, Institute of Law, Nirma University.
Industry-relevant education
With almost 60,000 law students graduating every year, there is a dire need for academia to train students in a way that they understand the industry and turn their theoretical knowledge into practice. Corporate lawyers pointed out that practical exposure was imperative to understand real world problems. "The industry has changed and now it puts more emphasis on your understanding of your client industry than your understanding of law. There is fundamental shift not just for legal practitioners but for any practitioner. A lot more collaboration is needed in this domain. I would suggest there should be more emphasis on skills especially the softer skills important in the real world," said Rajiv Maheswari, CEO, Anand & Anand.
Amiya Ranjan Nayak, Partner, Kaden Boriss Partners emphasized that legal education in India should be more synchronized with the demands of the market and change is needed in the syllabus of legal education. Bar Council of India should involve all the stakeholders in framing a new syllabus, he added.
The conclave culminated with the panel emphasizing on specialization and practical exposure. Dr. Rose Varghese, VC of NUALS Kochi said that there was an urgent need to move into specialization in order to improve the education system.
Anand Prakash Mishra, Deputy Director, Jindal Global Law School supported the view that specialization is an important area and specialist professors are essential.
Dr. N K Chakrabarti, Director of KIIT Law School pointed out that another area that needed attention was to inculcate professional ethics among students. The conclave concluded with the participants expressing hope that legal curriculum, which is in dire need of an overhaul would get the attention that it deserves.

This country boy has been a city dweller far too long….love your pictures of the wide open spaces and trees…gotta get back there…
December 28, 2013
Spent Christmas and a few days after out of town where the internet is nearly non existent (slow using a hot spot), cell phones barely have reception (reason for slow hot spot), and relaxing is as easy as getting up in the morning. Needless to say it was a good three days resting and recharging from the hectic Advent season on top of all the normal catastrophes day by day.
Christmas day my Sweetie and I took a walk back of the house enjoying a warm sunny winter day.
I like the sage grass…pictures just don't do it justice…
Shadows do wonders for the figure 🙂
That's me waaaaay back there…
When evening came I went outside to a beautiful sky and lost time going back in for my camera. When the light is just right there is only a couple of minutes to get a good picture, even then the sky is constantly changing. A challenge for sure to get the right one…I think I missed it.
Christmas was a good day.
And to all a good night.

I hope in 6 months time I can take far fewer photos of all the woolness I have left and maybe some stash busting knitted/crocheted things
My Aran, it may not look much.... until you realise the lilac ball at the right hand side is actually a 400g ball!
The chunky wool - Mostly in monster colours and some Indie in the bottom left corner that I bought to make a scarf but then didn't like (don't have a clue what Im going to use it for instead!)
Other stash part one - Mostly double knitting from odd projects. And lots of full balls that I bought just because I liked the colours! heh.
Stash part 2 - More stashy double knitting mostly for toys and lots of paler colours at the right hand side for baby knitting - Jumpers / blankets etc. for various presents. The only wool I have a few balls of is the purple snowflake (to make cute floofy monsters) and the orange double knit, as it has taken me ageeees to find a nice orange that isn't a neon colour!
This is what the purple fluffy wool is destined to be!
Wish me luck with my stash busting!!

With a wedding on the way and hoping to make a difference, Mr. Austin and his partner Simone thought about how they could raise donations for patients suffering with cancer.
With what some people may consider a big sacrifice, the young couple decided to opt for no wedding gifts and instead, encourage their guests to donate to a cause close to their hearts - the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJ Centre).
"A few years ago, my uncle passed away from colorectal cancer. We were really close to him and it affected us quite a lot. Simone also had her grandma and grandfather pass away from cancer and she was extremely close with them," Mr. Austin says.
"I thought, why not make something even better out of the wedding and not make it just about us - but have a broader impact and raise awareness as well as a few dollars."
On their wedding day, the couple had a wishing well and ONJ Centre envelopes where guests could donate their money.
Mr. Austin says that the act of giving has brought them joy and happiness.
"It's a special thing to be able to give. Giving is a much better feeling than taking. I think it's a great thing - it makes you feel good and it makes others feel good too."
"When there's so many negative things going on in the world, it's nice to be able to do something positive and create a positive out of a negative."
They hope to inspire others to donate if they can.
"If you can donate, there's no reason not to," Mr. Austin says.
"If you're putting on a function, perhaps you could do what we did too. At the end of the day, you're helping families and that is a special feeling."
So far, the couple have raised $1,300. They hope a few more people who have heard about their mission can donate too. They encourage anyone to donate via the ONJ Centre website.
If you're inspired by Caillin and Simone, you can learn more about donating in lieu of gifts.

I discovered John Scalzi during an episode of Stargate Universe. In a rather inconsequential scene, I noticed a man reading a novel. Curious, I played back the scene, froze the image, and scribbled down the title: Old Man's War. After the show, I looked it up and found it was the Hugo-nominated first novel of Scalzi, who also served as a creative consultant on the series. It was a good read, and Scalzi stories started showing up in our library.
Last summer, we added Scalzi's eighth novel, Redshirts: A novel with three codas. Both hilarious and affecting, Scalzi's sci-fi novel follows a group of ensigns on a starship who start to wonder why it is their rank has such a high death count on away missions.* The novel's title refers to the proverbial fate of the "redshirt" extra on Star Trek. "In the original Star Trek, Kirk, Spoke, Bones and Scotty were very dangerous men to stand next to if you were wearing the ensign's red shirt," explains John Schwartz in a NY Times article about the novel. "The ensigns exist only to create a sense of danger when they die or get wounded," observes Rowan Kaiser in an AV Club review of the novel, "otherwise, they're expendable."
Most reviews suggest Redshirts is an ambitious undertaking that may not always succeed, but overall critics are favorable. Indeed, the novel takes on everything from a multi-layered meta-narrative to commentary on the value of fiction and the responsibility of the writer to story and their characters to exploring how we relate to each other and the universe around us. As for me, I laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed the read, but I particularly appreciated how the novel's layered meta-narrative invites some good questions and the way it made me think about the way I relate to people around me.
Interestingly, Scalzi makes a direct reference in one of the novel's codas to Stranger than Fiction, a film that also plays with meta-narrative and raises similar questions. Critic Peter Chattaway articulates those in an article about the film at Christianity Today:
Do we have any control over our lives? If our lives do have an author—God, the Fates, whatever one believes—is this author necessarily on our side? How important is it that our deaths be "meaningful"—or, for that matter, that our lives be "meaningful"? Does "meaning" come from within us, or from somewhere outside of us?
When it comes to questions of control, fate and God, Scalzi's universe allows for the idea of a God or an Author but, if there is one, he's either absent or more like us than anything else. Instead, Scalizi focuses more on the power, effects and responsibility of our actions on each other and the world. The main character, Dahl, has a background of faith. In a conversation about why all the bad things are happening to them, another character questions how Dahl can maintain his faith when God acts like "a hack" who "can't plot His way out of a box." Dahl responds, "Because I don't think that's actually God…. I don't think any of this is the work of God, or of a god of any sort." Whoever is doing it to them, Dahl says, "they are just like us. And that means we can stop them."
Personally, however, I find Redshirts' exploration of what makes a life meaningful to be its strength. The novel affirms our ability to make meaningful choices and live a meaningful life regardless of our circumstances. One set of characters come to that awareness out of the experience of being treated as expendable; they choose to make meaningful choices out of and in spite of the hand they've been dealt. Another set of characters come to this awareness after being confronted with how their actions profoundly affect the lives of others, and that changes the way they see people and life in general.
Ultimately, Redshirts challenges us to be intentional with our lives and calls us to remember that no one is an extra or expendable. In its own quirky way, the novel affirms that our lives are meaningful not only in what we choose to do with them but even more so in making those choices with the best interest of others in mind, even though it may go against our own.
I guess you could say, then, Redshirts reminds us what it means to love.
Now I am aware I could be reading too much into Redshirts. Where and when I read the novel most likely influenced my take on it. I read the majority of it on two plane trips between DC and California and on a train traveling through the San Joaquin Valley. Both trips West reunited me with family and friends, but the first was weighted by the knowledge that it would probably be the last time I would see my husband's father, who was battling bone cancer. The second, weeks later, was for his funeral.
The import in these journeys added a personal significance to the novel's questions—and unexpectedly and somewhat oddly, the contrast between the modes of transportation I took helped me sort through them.
Air travel is fast, but insulated. Frankly, I don't enjoy it all. You face forward, stare at back of others' heads and look out tiny windows through which mountains are anthills and people even smaller than ants. A train is much slower, but it hugs the earth. Many of the seats face each other. And the wide windows reveal every vineyard and barren field, citrus tree and graffiti covered fence, half-million dollar suburban house and broken-windowed shack. And people are as big as life.
At one point on the train, I looked up from reading and looked out the window. The train was moving slowly through a neighborhood. I watched a young man walk out the door and down the sidewalk in front of a house. As I watched this person I did not know and would never meet, it struck me how our tendency is to look past each other as "extras" in the story of our own lives. We get so focused on our story that we forget the larger Story—a Story in which each person is indispensable.
But the reality is that each person we encounter is a walking universe. "There are no ordinary people," says C.S. Lewis:
You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner—no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses.
This man—whom I will never meet—is like me, I thought, and I am like him. He's not expendable, and neither am I. We are sacred neighbors.
When I remember this, it changes the way I see others and the way I see life. Sometimes a story reminds me of this, like Redshirts. Like the characters in that story, sometimes it comes to me in times of great crisis when I'm confronted with my own mortality or the way we affect each other's lives.
But, either way it seems to come more often when I slow down. Sitting there, I realized it is all too easy to insulate myself in a metaphorical tin can, fly detached above it all, stare at the backs of people's heads instead of in their eyes, and regard people as ants instead of immortal beings. Perhaps I need to think about moving through life more like a train, hugging creation, taking time to stop in places I normally may not go, pausing to see both the beauty and the darkness, riding with patience—the journey as important as the destination. When I slow down, I pay more attention. I see people instead of look past them. I remember that there are no extras but only sacred neighbors in our Story.
My father-in-law, a man of deep love and God-belief, traveled life this way. No one was an extra. People remembered most being loved by him and how he loved others. And that is a meaningful life—by Redshirts' standards and God's. And his life not only reminds me how life can be lived but challenges me to live it the way he did—loving God and others.
That is how we were created to live in our Story. That Story has an Author, he is on our side, and he wants for us a happy ending. And meaning flows from Love—being loved by him, loving him and loving others.
Ultimately, then, Redshirts helps me to remember of all this. And that God is not remote; he is near. We live and move in him, even while reading a science fiction novel on a train.
*I am not giving away anymore on the plot than this. A great deal of the fun in reading this novel is in the twists in plot and meta-narrative.

My last favourites are music related. This month I've been loving Dodie Clark or Doddleddle on Youtube. I've been listening to her playlist of original songs for the past few weeks and have been absolutely loving them. They're really chill and she has the softest cutest voice and lyrics ever and the melodies will get stuck in your head all day. My favourite songs of hers are Gold Star for Me, She and Down, which you can check out my cover of here, if you're interested. They're songs that really cheer me up when I'm down or need to get my mind off something.
The second artist I've been obsessed with is Panic! At the Disco and their new album Death of a Bachelor. I love every single song on this album. They've turned much more pop based and all the songs are very upbeat and songs such as Death of a Bachelor are jazz influenced and Brendon Urie sounds so good singing that style of music. My favourite songs off the album are House of Memories and Crazy = Genius. Check that out too if you haven't already.
What has everyone been enjoying during the past month?

Each year, Yellowstone National Park greets millions of visitors from around the world coming to see its charms. As a TakeTours staff member, I am honored that I was invited to participate in one of the more popular and affordable Yellowstone tours. I highly recommend you also book this 8-Day Yellowstone and West Coast Tour from Los Angeles/San Francisco! Here are some main highlights for this tour I wanted to mention:
1) The tour bus doesn't reverse direction the whole trip, which saves a lot of time on the road.
2) You get to stay one night inside of Yellowstone (Grant Village) and one night at Grand Lodge in Brain Head, Utah.
3) You will visit many famous attractions including Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon West Rim, Antelope Canyon, Lake Tahoe. The 8-day trip covers 6 states with 3,100 miles traveled in total.
Day 1 Los Angeles – San Francisco (5/28/2015)
To save some time on the road, I flew to San Francisco to meet the travel group. Most of the travelers chose to depart this tour from the Los Angeles area. The 54-seated bus was new and fully packaged, and people on the bus were from all around the world. It's a nice thing to be able to meet new friends with multicultural backgrounds. The tour started in San Francisco – Personally, I like San Francisco a lot because it has such a rich cultural ambience. The four attractions (Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf Pier39, Palace of Fine Arts, and Golden Gate Bridge) we visited were well represented by San Francisco's characteristics. The hotel was Courtyard Marriott SFO. It was nearby by a river, and the room was large and very clean with free WIFI.
Tips: The weather in San Francisco is a bit tricky. The temperature has a huge difference between day and night. Morning was cloudy and foggy, and the temperature was around 54 degrees Fahrenheit. However, in the afternoon, the sun came out, and the temperature reached up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. San Francisco's Chinatown may be the largest Chinatown in the United States, and there is a wide range of authentic Chinese restaurants to choose from.
Day 2 San Francisco – Sacramento – Lake Tahoe – Reno-Elko (5/29/2015)
In the early morning, we left San Francisco and stopped by Sacramento, to see California's State Capitol. The second stop was California's famous ski resort, Lake Tahoe, also considered the largest alpine lake in North America. It was a very nice day, so I ordered a hamburger as lunch, and ate near the lake to enjoy the scenery. In the afternoon, we arrived in Reno, which is known as "the biggest little city in the world". Many California residents like driving to Reno, Nevada for gambling because it's closer than going to Las Vegas from California.
Tips: We stayed one night at Shilo Inn, Elko. It's a 2.5-star hotel and the room had a microwave, a refrigerator and a coffee maker. I think too many people were using the Internet at the same time, so the wifi was a bit slow. It is worth mentioning that there is a grocery story in the front of the hotel. Since we would go to remote locations on the 3rd and 4th days of the tour in Yellowstone-area, I would suggest getting some fruits and other foods at the super market to have with you.
Day 3 Shoshone Falls – Perrine Memorial Bridge – Jackson Hole – Grand Teton – Yellowstone (5/30/2015)
In the morning, we headed to Snake River Canyon to visit Shoshone Falls and the Perrine Memorial Bridge. Perrine Memorial Bridge is famous for base jumping – when I arrived there, someone had just jumped from the bridge. It must be a very brave thing to do! Although Shoshone Falls isn't larger than Niagara Falls in total size, it is 25 feet higher than Niagara Falls. After that, we visited a famous town nearby Yellowstone, called Jackson Hole. The town has attracted many celebrities, including Warren Buffett and former President Bill Clinton, to come here on vacations or buy vacation homes. Grand Teton National Park has beautiful snow mountains to look at, but it would have been nicer if we had a sunny day. The bus arrived at the Yellowstone Lodge around 8:30PM. It rained heavily, and I could not wait to uncover the mystery of Yellowstone the next day during the daytime.
Tips: The hotel is not the type with wooden cabins as my expectation was, but it's a comfortable hotel, still made with wood, and located inside of Yellowstone. The hotel facilities are taken into account with environmental protection- the room doesn't have TV, microwave, and refrigerator, but had a coffee maker and hair dryer. The Grant Village Dining Room closes at 10:00PM and Yellowstone Lake restaurant close at 8:00PM. You can even find bison on their menus if you want to try something different.
Day 4 Yellowstone National Park – Idaho Falls (5/31/2015)
Yellowstone Park is the world's first national park and has the thinnest surface on the earth. What do we see in Yellowstone National Park? The answer is geothermal movement. This makes the park unique.
The bus drove along the lake for a while in the early morning. The snow mountains and lake were covered in the mist, which constitutes a mysterious feel. The bus stopped at the first attraction, which was at Yellowstone Canyon and Yellowstone Falls. The Canyon is colorful and the Falls are majestic. This attraction was discovered as the first attraction in Yellowstone by an expedition. When we arrived at the Old Faithful Geyser, so many people were already waiting there. The eruption generally happens once every one and half hours, and the eruption time is about 4 minutes. The Grand Prismatic Hot Springs causes the sun to flash back blue water and red-orange shades. Under sunny conditions, it is very colorful and it doesn't require any expensive programs to take pictures with a camera. Unfortunately due to road closures, we didn't visit Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Hot. Leaving Yellowstone, the bus headed to Idaho Falls, which is the largest artificial falls in the U.S.
The hotel was called Guest House and the room had a coffee maker, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast, and was only a 10-minute walk from The Falls. There is a well-known steakhouse called Sandpiper one block away from the hotel, so I had dinner there with a beautiful river view.
Tips: The temperature was down to 35 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning in the Yellowstone-area, so please dress accordingly. Old Faithful and Canyon areas have bathrooms, gift shops and restaurants. You may arrange rest and meals there.
Day 5 Idaho Falls City – Salt Lake City – Brian Head (6/1/2015)
Our first attraction was the Hill Aerospace Museum that's part of the United States Air Force Program. After that, we headed to the Utah State Capitol. Due to the presence of Mormons in Utah, each state governor is a Mormon. Â The inside of the capitol is stunning- it's like a magnificent palace. If you visit Salt Lake City, make sure to visit the LDS Church office, which is the headquarters of the Mormons. Mormonism is actually a branch of the Christian religion. Salt Lake City got its name because of the lake. The lake area is constantly getting smaller and smaller due to the absence of new water into the Salt Lake. The lake is too salty to have fish living in it, and only a type of shrimp is able to survive there.
Tonight's hotel was the best hotel for the entire trip, which is called the Grand Lodge in Brain Head. The hotel is built on a mountain and we could still see snow on top of the mountain in early June.
Tips: The hotel has an indoor pool and Jacuzzi- you may relax in the Jacuzzi after a long day. The mountain altitude is about 3,000 kilometers. I had slight altitude stress, but it didn't affect me too much.
Day 6 Brian Head – Cedar Breaks National Monument – Bryce Canyon Park – Horseshoe Bend – Antelope Canyon (6/2/2015)
Besides Yellowstone National Park, day 6 was the day I was most looking forward to. We visited several national parks to see the geomorphologic landscape. Early morning, the temperature was about 37 degrees Fahrenheit on the mountains. Cedar breaks is at an altitude of 3,400 kilometers. Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon have similar views for red-orange rocks/cliffs, but Bryce Canyon has a closer look of it. After lunch at McDonald's, we were hurried to Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon- two spots that I liked a lot. After walking 20 minutes in the desert with 90 degrees Fahrenheit, Horseshoe Bend came out in sight. At that time when you see the magnificent scenery, you felt that everything was worth it. Antelope Canyon is also a place that I highly recommend visiting. However, when you go there, you need some luck because plenty of sunlight is needed to make the inside of the canyon shine. I was very lucky to see six colors of the canyon!  With the local Native American tour guide's help, we were walking along the valley bottom and take pictures – Antelope Canyon is a paradise for photographers indeed. The hotel we stayed in was called Virgin River Casino in St. George, Utah. Here, you could gamble in the casino or watch the free performances at the hotel.
Tips: The casino buffet is closed at 9:00PM, but the casino restaurant is open 24 hours. The food is very cheap in the restaurant, for example, a prime rib was only $6.99 and was very tasty.
Day 7 Grand Canyon West Rim – Las Vegas (6/3/2015)
The main activity today was Grand Canyon's West Rim. Those who didn't want to participate in the West Rim, could choose to have a free day in Las Vegas. The bus dropped them off at the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas at 8:00AM and proceeded to take the rest of the passengers on the bus to the West Rim. The admission ticket of Grand Canyon West Rim is $80/person, which also includes lunch. After sightseeing, you can go to the gift shop to pick up a free souvenir.
It takes two hours to drive from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon's West Rim. When the bus entered the West Rim, we saw a heliport. If you want a closer look at the Grand Canyon, you can spend $205/ person to enjoy a helicopter and boat tour. The helicopter takes 10 minutes one way and the cruise takes 20 minutes, so the tour totals about 40 minutes. There are attraction buses to take you into the Grand Canyon West Rim's three stops – buses run every six minutes. The first attraction is a Native American farm. If you have limited time, I would suggest skipping the first stop and directly going to the second spot, Eagle Point and Skywalk Glass Bridge. You can see a third of the Grand Canyon there. A ticket to skywalk Glass Bridge is $35/ person. You can look down through the see through floors of the bridge and see the Grand Canyon. The third stop is Guano Point and where you will eat lunch. If you reach Guano point, you will see the magnificent Grand Canyon with 360 degree view. Lunch was an American-style lunch and included water, vegetable salad, meat (chicken or beef alternative), and a cookie – it tasted good. The bus left West Rim around 3:30PM and we headed back to Las Vegas. You can find many things to do at night in Las Vegas. You can watch a show, take a 4-hour night tour, try some Las Vegas buffets, gamble, or go shopping and so on. Our hotel was LINQ and it's a modern style hotel located right across from Caesars Palace.
Tips: I would suggest people to try Las Vegas buffets. The price is around $20- $60/ person for dinner. LINQ hotel is new and very clean. The best part of the hotel is the central location on the Vegas strip.
Day 8 Las Vegas – Barstow – Los Angeles (6/4/2015)
Eight days passed quickly and today was the last day of the trip. The bus made a stop at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens on the way to Los Angeles. The founder of this chocolate factory is the same founder of M & M Chocolate. If you like shopping in Outlet stores, the guide will also satisfy you with a 2-hour shopping at Tanger Outlets in Barstow, California. The bus arrived in Los Angeles around 6:30PM. The tour was finally over, and we had to see goodbye to the friends that we just made in the trip.
Tips: For the passengers who have night flights on the last day, please make sure to book your U.S. domestic flights after 8:30PM or international flights after 9:30PM. The tour offers free airport pick-up and drop-off service.

I consider myself to be a minimalist, but if you saw my physical TBR you would think otherwise. It makes me think otherwise. And of course, it just keeps growing. So I'm officially making it my mission to reduce its size. I tried a book buying ban, but when I stumble across books under £1 that look good, I can't help myself, and sometimes I just can't resist buying a new book (or plenty) from a bookshop. I'm going to read these books!!! I will!
Disclaimer: I'm not actually going to start reading these books until June, and I'm sure many people have a bigger physical TBR than I do however I have ran out of space for both new books and non-bookish things that I already own.
I've compiled a small selection of books that I plan on reading first from my physical TBR, for reasons I will list in a moment. I currently have 44 unread physical books. So let's get started!
- The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
This book has been on my TBR for the longest amount of time. I purchased this book having really enjoyed the film, but my excitement just died and I haven't got round to it since.
- The Martian by Andy Weir
Again, I purchased this because I loved the film (though it is quite lengthy!). I tried reading it once but kept getting distracted but I do really want to read it still.
- The Lucky Ones by Mark Edwards
I love Mark Edwards' books. Love em. So much so I read 5 of them within 8 days a while back. However when The Lucky Ones was released my TBR was so big and I just haven't got round to it yet!
- The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
I don't have any excuse for not yet reading this one, it has been on my TBR for what feels like forever so I need to read it soon!
I hope you all enjoyed this post, I'm going to keep you updated on tackling my physical TBR! What books have you had on your TBR for the longest?
Georgia 🙂

|[OT] The promise of Olingo
|Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:10:31 GMT
Today, the Bing wall-paper features a beautiful image of a ring-tailed cat (clearly adaptable to an O'Reilly cover, if it hasn't been already). Having read up on Olingo, I immediately thought "raccoon" and indeed, this is a Procyonidon cousin of the Olingo, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_Cat>. I'm sharing this because the Bing image is great and also because of an observation made about the domestic cat and the ring-tailed cat (not a feline) -- both have succeeded in domesticating humans by virtue of their habits (theirs, ours, whatever). Let us trust that at last, the OAuth Olingo can do the same in the realm of safe habits in cyberspace. - Dennis PS: If you go to http://bing.com, you'll see that the image is a video of the fellow. You might need to click through earlier images to see it in its Utah red-rock environment. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E. Hamilton [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 08:42 AM To: 'Klevenz, Stephan'; email@example.com Subject: RE: [PROPOSAL] OData Proposal for Incubator Stephen, I support your choice to have a different name. - Dennis I'm not sure how "Olingo" is pronounced in Spanish but I'm certain there will be much fun creating artwork of the little critter. It looks like an animal that must be on the cover of an O'Reilly book somewhere. (I find raccoons, their cousins, more appealing, except when they are pillaging the cherry tree at my house.)

Carry the gospel with you
Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23
When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him." Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son.
When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead." He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee. He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled,
He shall be called a Nazorean.
Reflection on the gospel reading: The Feast of the Holy Family honors the life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as a family. The Feast is not an old celebration; Leo XIII first instituted it in 1893 as a celebration that occurred within the octave of the Epiphany. Since 1969, we have celebrated the Feast of the Holy Family on the Sunday that follows Christmas, except in years when Christmas itself falls on Sunday, in which case, we celebrate the Holy Family on Friday, December 30.
Of course, we know very little about the life of the Holy Family. We can speculate based on the hints in the passages of scripture and on what we know about the life of a typical family in Palestine in the early first century. Mark and Matthew both suggest that Joseph was a carpenter, indeed, from the Greek, a very specialized kind of carpenter who built door sills; it was not a lucrative profession. This fact would accord with our knowledge that most people in first century Palestine lived lives of barest subsistence, just getting by, if that at all. Even so, the duties of faith required that boys be literate, and Israel enjoyed one of the highest rates of literacy in the ancient world. We know our Lord could read, because the gospels refer to his reading in the synagogue. So schooling for Jesus was a part of the Holy Family's life. This was an age when little was known about medicine and hygiene, so ill health almost certainly afflicted members of the Holy Family, attended by the typical anxiety that occurs when a member of the family grows ill. The scriptures make no reference to Joseph during Jesus' ministry, so it would seem that Joseph must have died by the time Jesus began to preach throughout Judea, and doubtless, he was grieved and missed by Mary and Jesus.
We know that family life for many of us sometimes can be quite a difficult experience. It is easy for us to believe that because Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were such exceptionally good people, family life for them was not as difficult. But the passage from the gospel which we read today makes clear that the Holy Family suffered painful challenges just as we all do from time to time in the midst of our family life. The trip to Egypt must have been very difficult for the Holy Family as they made their long trip with a new born in the midst of the fear of pursuit and uncertainty about what would sustain them in Egypt. In other words, when God entered human history, God occupied the ordinariness of human lives. The routines and sorrows and joys that attend the life of the world were blessed and sanctified and exalted by God's embrace of them. Sometimes, the sameness and the difficulties of day-to-day life may overwhelm us, and we may grow numb at the ceaseless chores and dream of some world outside the one we occupy, but surely it can be a comfort to us to know that even if we don't feel it, God has made all of it great and meaningful by God's willingness to take part in it.
Spiritual reading: I wish to invoke the protection of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Through God's mysterious design, it was in that family that the Son of God spent long years of a hidden life. It is therefore the prototype and example for all Christian families. It was unique in the world. Its life was passed in anonymity and silence in a little town in Palestine. It underwent trials of poverty, persecution and exile. It glorified God in an incomparably exalted and pure way. And it will not fail to help Christian families-indeed, all the families in the world-to be faithful to their day-to-day duties, to bear the cares and tribulations of life, to be open and generous to the needs of others, and to fulfill with joy the plan of God in their regard. (Blessed John Paul II)

The T2 SDE Free and Open Source reference map?
With the ongoing T2 System Development Environment efford, I wonder if we do not only build up an awesome tool to create customized systems and appliances, but also a more and more complete, generic Free and Open Source reference map.
The nearly 3000 (still increasing quickly) packages of T2 generically describe where the software comes from and includes meta-data like: verbose overview, author, license, supported architectures, kernels among others and the packages are not cluttered with branding or other unnecessary patching. The packages are left vanilla as the up-stream author intended it to be and only patched where needed to get the source code actually build.
The term "generic Free and Open Source reference map" mostly came into my mind when I noticed that we more often get packages that are not even listed on Freshmeat.net nor part of other major Linux distrubitions. And the T2 packages are just soo clean and lean, just take a look into one yourself, the just added ipmiutil for example :-)
To get a complete list just take a look at the T2 package matrix listing.
I think putting some efford to setup a search and browse engine around this meta data might really worth the effort, promoting it as uncluttered "Free software map".
A last note: Don't let other's distributions high package numbers confuse you, in T2 the 3000 package number refer to one package for a single piece of software, and not like 4 or more in other Linux flavours, such as -devel, -doc, … So one would have to strip this split packages from the published numbers of other distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE or Debian when comparing raw-numbers.
