Twitterfeed.com and Domino Blogs
Michael Brown June 11 2011 03:51:43 AMTwitterfeed.com is a very useful (and free!) service, which lets you automatically post your blog posts to Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Unfortunately, the links that appear in Twitter and Facebook won't work with a Domino-based blog like mine - I use the IBM template that was shipped with Notes/Domino 7.0 onwards.
The problem is that, by default, the service sticks a load of junk on the end of your URL. So, instead of a working URL like this http://www.browniesblog.com/A55CBC/blog.nsf/dx/06112011015026PMMBR6J5.htm you get a non-working URL like this http://www.browniesblog.com/A55CBC/blog.nsf/dx/06112011015026PMMBR6J5.htm?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook which will cause the Domino server to throw a "page not found" error.
To rid yourself of this extraneous URL junk, you need to edit your feed in the twitter.com dashboard. Get to the services screen below:
You now need to click on the links to each of your services in turn - you can see that I have both Facebook and Twitter set up. When you click on the link for your service, you'll see a screen like the one below:
You need to ensure that the fields in the UTM Tags section are all empty. Those are the fields that are causing the junk to be added at the end of the URLs.

Hi there,
I'm trying to FTP my website (k8tography.com) but every time I try, it fails (with correct username and password). I can access it through a web browser, but when I try to ping it, it always comes back with "Destination Host Unreachable".
I have tried disabling my firewall. I can access many of my other sites easily. All other computers in my house can access it fine, except for this one (which is a problem, as this is my web development PC).
I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some guidance on this, I'm stumped!
Thanks in advance.
since you're accessing from your development box, maybe it has different DNS information for the website?
k8tography.com resolves to 220.127.116.11. What does it resolve to on your dev box?

In March, Rhyd Wildermuth and our fearless leader proposed a topic to which all interested parties on the Pagan channel could respond:
Much of the current dialogue in the Pagan blogosphere is about carving out ways to explain and justify our personal experiences and beliefs in relation to other traditions, but without a clear vision of the place our own traditions and experiences might have in an ideal world. Will the Pagan movement become one tradition-heavy set of religions with several "fringes"? Will it split apart into competing factions? Or will we find a way to unite using some shared cultural language? What institutions will we build, or will we build institutions at all? What rights or recognition will we have in the larger society?
What does your Paganism look like in 50 years?
First, a bit of history.
As has been pointed out to me on more than a few occasions, my views on Paganism were more than a little naive. For largely personal reasons (for example, wanting to feel as if I was part of the "in" crowd), for quite some time I tried to hold onto the belief that we were all one big happy family and, while we may not always do things the same way or practice the same traditions, we were largely doing roughly similar things. In other words, that what we were doing when we worked together at pan-Pagan events was largely intrafaith, i.e. a conversation had within one faith community.
I now know that to not be the case. However, I also know that our reality is better and stronger than my fantasy of a more universal Paganism and that pan-Pagan events more appropriately fall into the category of an interfaith action. Looking back, it's a bit odd that I clung for so long to this idea when I've had such wonderful and strengthening experiences working with other, non-Pagan faith communities through my interfaith work, but that's for me to ponder.
A little over a year ago, for a different project, I wrote briefly on this topic and, while I originally offered the idea somewhat in jest, I've begun to think of it as something that should be considered with more seriousness than my above image manipulation might suggest.
I recommend that we work in the coming decades to build a federation of Pagans, something that I've begun to think of as a the Pagan collective if only to avoid the possibility of trademark infringement.
Star Trek References
For those who aren't familiar with Star Trek, the United Federation of Planets is the alliance of many diverse species living in within a quadrant of space about 8000 light years across (according to Wikipedia; I might like Star Trek but I am in no way as die hard a trekkie as some are). Humanity, as a space fairing species in the Star Trek canon, is not only a member of the Federation but one of those who worked to bring it into existence following galactic conflict in the hopes that such a conflict might never again be experienced in future generations.
If you've watched the series and movies set in the Star Trek canon, you know that things didn't exactly work out that way, but by and large, the Federation acts largely as a voice for peace, diplomacy, exploration, and defense in our galaxy and, despite the diversity within the Federation, its members were largely allowed to build their own societies, have their own cultures and religions, and act in accordance with the dictates of their own morals as long as they agreed to certain guidelines set out in the federation's charter.
The United Nations
It's pretty clear to me that the idea for the Federation was based on the United Nations. Heck, portions of the Federation's charter that I linked above paraphrase the chartering documents of the UN, so the connection between the two is not even remotely hidden. Despite the cries of some of the more conspiracy-minded among us, I doubt the UN is out to try and remove all sovereignty from member nations nor is its goal to homogenize cultures into one global human society (despite Star Trek's portrayal of such a society). Frankly, there's too many competing ideas within the member nations for such a goal to be achieved even if it is held by some of the delegates.Instead, the UN focuses on international justice, human rights, peacekeeping, and aid to member nations in times of trouble. And, while it can be argued that the UN is too slow and sunk too deep in global political quagmires (especially with respect to the Security Council), I don't think the stance that the UN is unnecessary can be defended. As sovereign nations, our human cultures need a place to which our grievances can be heard and addressed not at the barrel of a gun or the at the control panel of our drones, but rather with the voice of diplomacy.
The Pagan Collective
These are the models for what I would like to see us build. Is this a lofty goal? Certainly. Is there a lot of work to do? Of course. But, in the production of that work, we will be forced–both as individual religious communities as well as a larger pan-Pagan movement–to analyze what it means to be a Pagan and how (or if) that term applies to each of us.
Firstly, we'd have to figure out how different delegates are chosen. Other intercultural or interfaith organizations, like the UN or even the Parliament of World Religions, have somewhat clearly defined member communities based on national or historical cultural and religious affiliations. In Paganism, such affiliations are a little more loosely defined and so determining who gets a seat at the table would, I suspect, be more difficult for us than it might be for others.
It's not enough simply to identify the different streams of thought within our community and try to provide representation for each of them because to do so could leave out the syncretic elements within our community. Further, how would solitaries be represented? How would we respond to new ideas and new religious movements like Otherfaith, and how would such a religious community seek to join the Pagan collective should they want to do so?
And, consider the fact that, at least stereotypically, Pagans are not exactly swimming in cash. Obviously, there are Pagans who may be comfortably wealthy and capable of the long-distance travel responsibilities that may come with being a delegate to such a collective. Further, we do have some large, national Pagan organizations (like the Covenant of the Goddess) or regional groups (the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel, for example) who might be able to assist with the expenses incurred by their delegates, but could a smaller, locally-focused group afford to send a delegate?
Assuming we've identified delegates and figured out how to get them together, physically or virtually, could such a group even accomplish anything? I think there's a non-zero chance of it all falling apart, though I'd like to think that after putting in the effort to get that far, we'd try to stay the course and find some way of working together on a shared purpose. But, what should that purpose be? Frankly, I'd say that's for the delegates to work out, and since we're somewhere around step zero with respect to such a journey, there are things about which even speculation is difficult.
To conclude, I wonder if this is a situation where the journey toward the Pagan collective might not be at least as, if not more, important than the end goal of constructing such an organization. By working individually toward the goal of working together collectively, I suspect that we would all individually deepen and strengthen our religious communities. But individually strong religious communities should not be, in my opinion, the target at which we are aiming.
I hope, instead, that we work to strength our collective ties, weak though they may sometimes be, so that we can more effectively work together within that collective but also with religious communities as well.

"Morning regimes are just as important as your nightly routine. Your daily treatment should consist of light cleansing, followed by a day cream with SPF to protect from harmful rays. Once protected from the outside, keep it healthy on the inside. Skin looks better when you get proper sleep and drink lots of water.

As parents, stay involved with your son/daughter's education throughout the school year. Communication is an essential component of a truly successful school/parent partnership. I encourage you to establish positive communication with your child's teachers. Please feel free to contact the school at any time should you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your feedback. At Santa Maria, we value your input and we will assist you in any way that we can. Our office phone number is 623-707-1100. Also, please check our school's web site regularly. Your student's progress reports and school activities calendar will be posted there as well as important announcements. Our welcome page has valuable information to aid you and your child in preparing for and attending Santa Maria Middle School.
This year, our school day will end at 3:30 P.M. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday. On Thursdays, our school day will end at 2:15 P.M. Students are expected to promptly leave the building at dismissal time in order to board their bus or walk home. Students are not permitted to remain after school unless they are involved in an activity supervised by a staff member. I encourage, our sixth, seventh and eighth grade students to become actively involved at Santa Maria Middle School. This year, after school activity buses will be available three days a week until 5:00 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for students who take the bus from school.
Please make sure the students' uniform complies with the school uniform policy. Some of the main issues that we have with the uniform are that skirts are too short, shirts too tight or loose, and pants hanging below the buttocks. Please do not buy clothes that will not comply with the uniform policy. Your student will be asked to change.
As a reminder to parents, similar to last year, in order to enhance our school's security, upon entering the building, I ask that you stop in the main office, sign in and obtain a visitor's pass. Also, please sign out at the main office prior to your departure. I appreciate your cooperation.
Santa Maria Middle School has a dedicated staff that is committed to providing your child with an outstanding middle school experience. I look forward to an exciting school year!

At Last: Word on "The Event"
I have to admit, sheepishly, that it wasn't until 7:30 p.m. last night that I saw Ryan's comment that "The Event" was on. By then it was over.
Now my web browser is acting up and I can't view the posted episode.
So, in desperation, I asked Lorraine to respond to last night's episode and she graciously has provided her comments.
I must add that I notice in myself a desire for NBC to succeed with the series. I have this wish to see "our family" back together again – the mainstream media released from the grip of the CIA/Illuminati and functioning once more the way it was supposed to, as a free and committed watchdog of the public interest.
How long goodwill lasts.
If they drop the ball with "The Event," I'll be disappointed, but I'll still be glad to welcome them, and CBS, and ABC, etc., back to the fold whenever they break free. OK: Lorraine.
"The Event" premiered on TV last night.
On the really good side, it exposes the concept of Disclosure to a wide audience even if this first episode was just a teaser.
As the President of the U.S was going to hold a press conference with a human-looking ET, an assassination attempt was made – shades of 9/11 – with a plane coming toward them.
The ETs make the plane disappear before it hit.
You can view the whole episode here (see bottom of page):
On the repulsive side, the quality (or lack of it) would make Orson Welles turn in his grave. It's in soap-opera form and edited at a frantic, break-neck speed – 5 or 6 scenarios flashed back and forth, with no more than 3 seconds (!) of any one image, and sandwiched to the max with a ridiculous amount of commercials.
Since I rarely watch mainstream TV, I found it difficult to watch, BUT it is a welcome, positive omen for the disclosure reality that's unfolding.
Some ask why we wait for government disclosure. Because government disclosure makes it real to the masses.
All of us will have to embrace this new reality for any real change to take place. I can't imagine any other kind of event that would prompt the vital changes we so desperately need.
Disclosure and open contact will be the catalyst for the release of long-suppressed technologies held by our shadow government, and, overall, the beginning of a new perspective that's not based on fear and repression.
Unfortunately, as long as we have a government, we need their cooperation.
Next Monday is the second episode and supposedly this is when the actual disclosure announcement will be made. Should be interesting to see what's said.
"I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts. But I can't stop eating peanuts." Orson Welles.

Yes- glad to see this show and that it is about disclosure and hopefully it will be truthful… and entertaining, too!
My comment, though, is mainly to all who say "I hate TV!…". Just want to point out that you may be missing out on some wonderful experiences, joy, and learning with your attitude or perspective that it is all "bad" or "Illuminati controlled" or 'junk" (take your pick of any negative definitions/beliefs you or others may hold about it).
TV can be a fantastic medium and just like any tool in life you may use now and like…for example a car…do you hate your car and refuse to drive it, because some people use them to murder or millions of people are maimed and killed in auto accidents with them,…proudly proclaiming, "I hate cars!" …"I haven't driven a car for 20 years!"? I'm guessing probably not, because you are aware that people control the cars. Same goes for TV. People create the content and many are creating wonderful projects. By rejecting TV out of hand you are probably missing out on some great information/experiences/content, the likes of which you are searching for here on the internet in blogs/sites like these. A show that pops into my mind right now is "Planet Earth" a wonderful series about our earth and its beautiful creatures (it's even better in HD). I also recently watched a very inspiring, excellent, informative film called "Temple Grandin" made for HBO TV.
There is truth there as well- you just have to find it, btw. But if you are not watching it…you will miss it!
(The TV is going to be a very useful tool for Disclosure, remember.)
Remember- you are in control of what you watch!… and I believe most TV comes with a guide and remote with which you can find and choose your shows and even a dvr to record them, does it not?
BTW- I am not a producer of the shows above or promoting TV because I am involved in it or have any interests in it besides just what I said above and the fact that I am interested in helping others to find a more positive side of life and themselves and felt compelled to comment
…and on here I'm just an interested party perusing the net checking out what everyone's saying about Ascension, ETs, disclosure, etc. very interesting what people think Ascension is, btw!
….meditate….it is within YOU!
lou permalinkSeptember 22, 2010 11:47 am
Lorraine did a really nice job critiquing 'The Event'….
IMO, I think this series is being 'allowed' to air for a reason, just as 'V' was. 'V' was obviously created to frighten, but 'The Event', it seems to me, was made to quiet the fear.
TPTB in Hollywood know more about extraterrestrials and their technology than we will ever know they know! Sci-fi movies about ETs have been trying to tell us for years that ETs exist and to let us know about ET technology.
I also hope this series succeeds and gets the masses to start thinking about the reality they live in.
September 22, 2010 11:20 am
Hi Steve,
Well "The Event" has been very interesting and obviously a way for people to pay attention to what supposedly will be the moment of revealing the truth about the extraterrestrial presence in our world, and how first contact will happen.
If they do it in a science fictions style movie, most of the audience will pay attention to the story, which they will keep in their minds as a reminder (UNCONSCIOSLY) of a future event that might happen very soon, but not knowing that it was made for that purpose.
Many of us have had many experiences through our lives, that we can not and have never understood what they are or were and for what purpose; and these experiences have stayed there constantly reminding that person that there is more in our lives, "in that mysterious part of our lives" that we can not comprehend, and since this has happened, those who experienced it, are the first ones to come out and accept that our lives are about to change in the near future because things are getting untangle by whistle blowers and even our governments in a subtle way; and specially by us at these moments, telling our stories and making videos of our experiences for others to know.
I feel that all of us are working on the same side for disclosure, for a long time now, but at the same time this is being done slowly to not confuse the purpose of this "grand event" DISCLOSURE. Maybe the waiting for disclosure has been because our consciences are still half asleep and until we all wake up our consciences, probably it will take a couple more rounds for "The Event" to come true.

Even the government is not real – as in really government of and for the people. A few days ago I came to the point of view that most people are in a state of mass psychosis. Delusion number one is money. Following that government, education, health care, …
Waking up really is a process with such a massive illusion. And we're not even in the spiritual realms here 😉
Tom Magnussen permalinkSeptember 22, 2010 8:03 am
Interesting that "The Event" got into the meat of things so quickly. It would appear that 'the event' is not actual disclosure, but something beyond. I am now wondering 2 things. 1, How will this show effect the real disclosure date, and 2, how will real disclosure affect the TV series? I, like you Steve, hope it succeeds, and hope it is the beginning of truth in media. (BTW: I have not watched TV for more than 10 years, and I do not intend to start now.)
KAA permalinkSeptember 22, 2010 6:24 am
Strange I should just remember this, Stever, but…in the 1980's a friend who worked for the only peace-keeping position at the Pentagon said that we (public) would be exposed to an increase of UFO information via media in order to prepare us … (not in those exact words).
Anyway, that's another story..

Azimut Holding makes fourth acquisition
Italy's independent asset manager Azimut has purchased Australian Financial Lifestyle Partners (FLP) through its local subsidiary AZ Next Generation Advisory (AZ NGA).
The agreement includes a share swap of 49% of FLP's equity for AZ NGA shares and a progressive buyback of these shares over the next ten years.
The remaining 51% stake will be paid to the founding partners in cash over a period of two years, Azimut said.
The FLP purchase follows recent deals involving Eureka Whittaker Macnaught and Pride Advice as part of AZ NGA's consolidation plans in the Australian wealth management services to retail.
The total value of the transaction was of some €3.2m, which includes cash and share swaps. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place in October 2015 upon satisfaction of authority requirements.
Pietro Giuliani (pictured), chairman and CEO of Azimut Holding, said: "The Australian franchise has been growing rapidly and consistently and we are proud to have reached the $1bn mark in less than a year."

Uche Maduagwu slams Tonto Dikeh – 'Everyone knows you can never DATE or marry a BROKE guy'
Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, is not done criticizing Tonto Dikeh over her recent social media banter with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill.
In his new post on Instagram, he stated that everybody knows Tonto can never date or marry a broke guy.
He wrote;
'Everyone knows you can never DATE or marry a BROKE guy, so how did you FEED and CLOTH your EX with your own MONEY? Madam, take it easy with this "RADICAL stories now, we are not born yesterday…Ask anyone in this industry, even before you said "I do" to a BILLIONAIRE ex,everyone knows you have standards when it comes to the men you date, so how on earth is it possible that you end up feeding and clothing your EX with your money? I don't get, like seriously, is this another Nollywood script or POEM? Or do you think Nigerians are FOOLS?
Madam, you're not the first woman to have a broken marriage or relationship, but what makes someone VIRTUOUS a woman is not your BEAUTY or COSMETIC surgery, no, its your ability to never wash your dirty linen in public.

I wish I had made more practical, useful crafts with our children during their younger years. Well-thought-out crafts help them gain persistence, hand/eye coordination, and planning skills, not to mention confidence, to be able to see a solution to a problem and fix it when the need arises.
This is an easy project to do with your young sons or daughters, approximately 8 years and up. It is an opportunity to teach them how to use a glue gun safely. All you need to make 1 pin cushion jar is:
~ any canning jar with the ring and lid
~ a glue gun and glue sticks
~ some pretty fabric ( approximately 6″ x 6″)
~ a pair of scissors
~ a big hand-full or so of fiberfill
~ and something to fill your finished jar with (buttons, little spools of thread, lace, or small sewing notions would all be perfect)
1.) To begin, remove the ring but leave the lid on the top of the empty jar. Place the handful of fiberfill on top of the lid to make a good sized puffy dome, distribute evenly, and lay the fabric over the top to create your pin cushion.
2.) Carefully replace the ring on top of the fabric, fiberfill, and lid.
3.) Screw the ring on 1 revolution only. Pull the fabric slightly taut all around the edges. Unscrew the lid ring, lifting it, the fabric, fiberfill, and the lid. Carefully lift it off the jar all together. This is the tricky part: You must push up under the lid, pressing it up into the ring to hold the fabric in place. Before cutting your fabric, you can always re-position the fiberfill if it shifts out of place.
Note: Your daughter's smaller, less-practiced, hands may need your gentle assistance in holding the fabric and fiberfill in place until the ring is on and the gluing is done. Be sensitive to her desire to try; she may surprise you with her ability.
4.) Still holding the ring, fabric and fiberfill, and lid in place (see below), using sharp scissors, cut the excess fabric off leaving about 5/8″ edge all around. (sorry…bad photo 🙂
5.) Fold fabric down and glue-gun it into place. You will need to continue to hold the lid tight up into the ring until glue is really cool and set.
Fill your jar and screw on the lid. Now you can put in your straight pins ~ we found some colorful ones.
What a pretty addition to your sewing table or use as a little hostess gift when visiting!
These super cute mini-Ball jars come in a 4-pack and can be found in most supermarkets. Lehman's carries a broad assortment of canning jars.
"And make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands…so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." ~ 1 Thessalonians 4: 11-12

"After seeing Scott Cohen's work at our cousin's house, we knew The Green Scene would be the perfect choice to remodel our backyard. Our project was quite large, consisting of a pool and Jacuzzi (hot tub) remodel, BBQ, pergola and putting green. From the initial consultation all the way through the construction, The Green Scene team was professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. This is a very talented group and we highly recommend them. So much so, that we decided to have them remodel our front yard too! "
We hired Scott Cohen and The Green Scene to design our outdoor kitchen. Although the project got behind a bit and a few hiccups occurred, Scott's artistic design and his team's quality work got us to expand the scope of the project to include a sun pad and a fire pit area. Scott's crew knows what they're doing and are able to bring his artistic designs to life. We now have an amazing backyard that our family enjoys on a daily basis!
We originally hired Green Scene to install hardscape, landscape, and our pool/spa when we moved into our new home in 2004. We have been more than happy with the results and have really enjoyed our yard. When we decided recently to add a firepit and outdoor seating - calling Scott was a no-brainer! The little touches …follow-up/status emails, pleasant workers on-site. The big things - matching the flagstone and concrete color from 11 years ago for the new installation, following through and resolving every single item on my checklist, adding sprinkler checkup, installing new lighting, etc. These guys are fantastic! Not the cheapest, but certainly competitive and worth every penny. You get what you pay for and with the Green Scene - that means top-quality workmanship and excellent customer service. Special tip of the hat to Frank - his customer service, cheerful attitude, attention to detail, and knowledge made it all come together. Also, Mario and crew did a fantastic job on the stone work.

"We were hesitant to spend the money, but we're glad we did. They left our house immaculate before they left each day…. The owner was so helpful. He really took time to explain all the pros and cons of things we were choosing. We would definitely recommend this company. They were honest, fair, trustworthy and honestly, just nice people to work with. The job was also done on time. Wow!" - Kim Thomas.
These are excerpts from just a few of the many testimonials we have received from former clients.
"We are very delighted with our new back yard. For 16 years our family lived with just dirt and weeds in our backyard. We interviewed many architects and pool companies. Thank you Scott and The Green Scene for a job well done We highly recommend the Green Scene.
- Douglas and Stephanie Hubbard"
"We wanted to … express our family's gratitude for the incredible job that The Green Scene has done to change our property into a fantastic resort... We met with Scott and immediately knew that his ideas and passion for creating a resort backyard was what we wanted. Little did we know that, when completed, our project we would be so far beyond anything we ever could have imagined. It is a masterpiece. From the outset, Scott's attention to detail and the sense of how the property should flow was impeccable...The Green Scene's crew is professional, respectful, cordial, and do great work. ... If you want to change your property into something special, something that will stir your emotions, then look no further than Scott Cohen and The Green Scene ... They can create what your mind can only imagine. - The Kiker Family"
"I would like to express our sincere thanks for the beautiful back and front yard you have created for our family. It has been a pleasure having you understand our vision and make it a reality. We look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.
- Najeeb and Aiesha Gauri"
I want to thank you, Scott, for listening and addressing all of my concerns. Once we met I knew Green Scene was the right choice.
As you know, following a bad experience…, I was paralyzed for a year not knowing where to turn to hire a new contractor that could and would be willing to tackle the mess that the previous contractor had left. Our pool was empty with loose chips, uneven brick coping, dug up trenches, and piles of dirt where the concrete patio had been torn up and drains had been left exposed and non-functional. I watched a few episodes of HGTV's Get Out, Way Out! where I saw you transform barren backyards into beautiful resorts. I was embarrassed to show you the mess at our home, but after our first meeting I knew I had found the right person for the job. Your kind and comforting demeanor inspired trust and confidence that you and The Green Scene could transform our unsightly nightmare into a beautiful backyard comparable to the ones seen on the show. We were in good hands with Eric Scharon, our project supervisor. He is friendly, most resourceful, knowledgeable, attentive, and hardworking. He made the job run smoothly. He addressed any questions or concerns immediately.
I am so impressed with your crew and apologize if I forget anybody. Their work was professional and very meticulous. They really took pride in their endeavor. What a marvelous group of people! It was always very pleasant to call the office and speak to any one of your staff. They were courteous, extremely professional, and on top of all permits, orders, and schedules. Your billing was detailed and easy to understand. I always felt at ease calling your office for assistance. I looked forward to our onsite meetings where you would enthusiastically display new materials and ideas. All together, The Green Scene is exceptional. Thank you for the stunning pool and spa, the spectacular copper fire bowls with water cascades, the exceptional outdoor fireplace with television, the fountain, and the great choice of pavers, tiles, and landscaping. In my wildest dreams I had never pictured such an extraordinary piece of art. Scott, you turned my backyard into a gorgeous, tranquil, resort-style private oasis. I am amazed at your imagination and execution. We love it!
The D'Elia family
Dear Scott, We are thrilled with the backyard you and your team created for us. When we first met, you asked questions to get a feeling of who we are, what we like, and what we wanted for our backyard. Your drawing surprised us with how you had taken that conversation and drawn it into a plan that was so much better than our original vision. Your vision put all our ideas together in an artistic, flowing, and inviting way. We loved it at first sight! The crew that worked on our yard was amazing. We were very impressed! …a team of friendly, hard working, professional, courteous workers who were always anxious to please. They took pride in their work and worked to insure that our yard matched the plan. Our completed backyard is an amazing oasis for our senses. The hot tub with its wonderful bar is always inviting. The artistic layout of the hardscape and selection of plants treat our eyes. The various fragrances fill our sense of smell. The fire pit entices us to roast hot dogs or marshmallows. And the waterfalls bring that soothing sound that only flowing water can give. Our yard calls to us to come out, relax, and enjoy. Thank you, Scott. It is fantastic and just what we wanted. We are enjoying it every day. You took your plan and made it happen. We couldn't be happier.
Darrell and Carol Weyrens
PS Our neighbors think we have the best yard around and like to show it off to their friends.
Dear Scott, Mike and I would just like to thank all of the employees at The Green Scene for making our pool remodel go so smoothly. The crew went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure things were just as we wanted them. Being an accountant, I was also happy that we finished slightly under budget and the invoices matched well with the contract. I am hoping I can use The Green Scene again when we do future landscaping work and I would recommend them to anyone who was looking for a great landscape and swimming pool design and build firm. Thanks again , Marlo M. Aragon
To say Scott Cohen is an artist diminishes his ability to execute a precise objective, as an honest and morally sound contractor, to say he is a great contractor diminishes his artistic creative ability to seamlessly bridge form and function. He is a great visionary and has put together a top level crew to facilitate the implementation and execution of his vision. He is a renaissance man in the purest and most concrete definition, his knowledge of pools, materials, plantings, gardening, and construction are second to none. He finds creative ways to seamless blend his pool designs into the environment and into the lifestyle of the homeowners.
In the crowded space of pool builders and contractors, he is in a class all by himself. - Grace Flowers
Talk about mind blowing results. We asked for a one-of -a-kind pool and boy did we get one. Scott Cohen is a creative genius. He listened to all of our concerns, wishes and ideas and put together an environment which exceeded all of our expectations.
We originally hired Green Scene to design and construct a pool and later added a patio, sun deck, landscape and lighting. They were 100% professional and lived up to all of their project management timetables impeccably. The crew were kind, professional, knowledgeable, courteous and most of all.... NEAT.
What impressed me was how the whole project came together like poetry.
Natural Tuscan Pool & Spa - Scott Cohen is a true artist and a skilled consultant. He is fun to work with and makes sure that he hears what you want. In the process, they provide lots of samples and ideas so even when you are not sure exactly the look or the material...you find it together. The teams that build the pool are professional, neat, concerned about getting it right and wonderfully pleasant. If you are looking for a pool designer and builder, look no farther; they are the best!! Thanks Green Scene for the redesign of our backyard. I love it!! - Marc and Janel Holland
Scott Cohen has an incredible flair for landscaping design. Scott's challenges with our yard was to make a sloping yard flow without making it into 2 levels, adding to the existing hardscape so that it looked like the yard was done all at the same time instead of 8 years apart and basically anticipating exactly what we wanted when we didn't even know. Well, He did it! With the addition of the built in BBQ area and the Fire Pit We love our yard, it is so beautiful! In our front yard we stayed with the basic design that we already had but Scott embellished with some hardscape and accessorized with lighting and beautiful drought tolerant plants we now have the prettiest house on the block.
Now let's talk about the crew that did it all. Frank led the team that worked on my project. There really are no words to describe how amazing his crew is. They take pride in their work and I never felt that they were rushing so that they could get to the next job. As issues came up and things changed they never made me feel like it was an inconvenience. I have worked with a lot of contracting crews and Scott's team is by far the best I have ever worked with.
It is rare these days to find a contractor that actually cares and provides the type of quality work that the Green Scene provides. The bottom line is….I would definitely hire them again.
Scott is a very good pool and landscape designer, and helped us maximize the functionallity of our limited backyard space, creating an awesome and beautiful backyard with a modern pool.
The Green Scene's job supervisor Eric and his crew were a team of hard-working and courteous professionals, working diligently throughout the project. We are extremely greatful to them for making our backyard a dream come true. However, we were less impressed by some outside contractors.
The Green Scene office staff managed the permitting, project management, and other functions exceptionally well and were always professional and responsive. We are also greatful to Scott's office staff for their work on our project.
Given the complexity and magnitude of these types of projects, it is inevitable to have delays, technical issues, and other complications. Scott and his teams' years of experience is extremely valuable to help minimize the unavoidables.
We have been enjoying our pool, spa, and backyard for the last three months. My family is looking fordward to years of magical times in our backyard, swiming in the pool, relaxing in the spa, barbecuing on the outside grill and entertaining our guests.
We met Scott Cohen recently when looking to remodel our backyard, build a BBQ station and renovate our 25 year old pool/spa. He provided a magical video illustrating how our completed project would look. We were awed by the design and decided to engage Green Scene. The work was performed flawlessly under the direction of supervisor Frank within the schedule projected and cost estimated. The sub-contractors and Scott's crew worked cleanly, courteously and professionally. We could not have dreamed or anticipated the magnitude this transformation could create. When friends and relatives see this new outdoor environment our pride intensifies. This is the first time that I have publicly verbalized my experience, but Green Scene highly deserves our praise and appreciation. I highly recommend Green Scene. - Peter and Alicia

One of the essential pool additions to your backyard swimming pool project is the above ground pool deck. It will offer you an easy way of getting in or out of your swimming pool and an additional lounge as you supervise the children. The deck plan might be a standalone deck or an attachment to your house entrance.
Note that this deck can help to reduce tracking grass and mud into the swimming pool and home. It can be helpful to your structural integrity of the swimming pool and will withstand any stress the children will inflict to it.
Some of the popular above the ground decks include:
Splash decks: It creates a decking border around the swimming pool. Though its width varies, most people prefer 3 feet. It allows you to enter and exit your swimming pool from any side, but it doesn't create a big lounge. Besides, you cannot connect it to your house.
Side decks: It creates a big lounge in one side of the pool. Therefore, if you are intend to have a bigger lounge near your swimming pool, this type of deck could be a good choice.
Splash and side combination: As the name suggests, you can combine the splash and side decks in one swimming pool. If you opt for this type of deck, you should be ready to part with a few bucks as it is expensive.
Interlocking wood deck tiles
The interlocking wood deck tiles are a great choice if you want to install a swimming pool deck and you are not willing to spend much. When it comes to repairing the wood deck, it is simple and won't cost you much.
Adding an above ground swimming pool deck doesn't need to be so expensive. Follow the tips given in this article to install one.

It goes without saying that in the current world is hard to separate social media management from Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Hence, it has led to a drastic increase in the number of social CRM services.
Social CRM provides direct access to both your clients, a wealth of data and enhances the viability of your business in the long run. Nonetheless, it won`t be of any benefit offering social CRM services without identifying and using management and engagement solution that fits your organization.
Furthermore, you should come up with strict guidelines and procedures for efficient use of social CRM. Hence, this write-up is aimed at giving you three surefire tips for social CRM success.
1. Utilize the Right Platforms
A lot of social CRM success depends on selecting the appropriate social media engagement platform for your organization. It's critical to monitor all the social streams while identifying all the conversations that need your attention or engagement. Furthermore, you can get a good platform to know any emerging customer service issues or any new prospects by checking the brand mentions.
Some of the key things that you should consider to choose the right platforms, include:
- Put more attention on clients.
- The ability to create as well as monitor groups.
- The ability to integrate with existing business applications.
2. Use the Right Resources
Social CRM is an unparalleled opportunity to deliver quality customer service. Nonetheless, it can also be a potential source of stress and frustration for your clients if you are not well-equipped to handle arising problems. Therefore, you should come up with a robust framework that connects with your organization`s objectives and allow you to track your progress in real-time for significant adjustment.
For example, when you reply via Twitter, you can track how many new followers each tweet yields. Or, if you choose to promote via Facebook, you can follow-up how the interactions impact on the sales conversion rates.
3.Maintain a Good Image
Needless to say, social CRM is a vital part of social media engagement. Clients are not interested in an automated response to their issues.
Therefore, to give the optimal attention, you're required to have a team of experts to monitor all customer concerns on all social media platforms that you utilize. The people you employ should be able to represent your firm in a manner that is consistent with your corporate image and brand.
Furthermore, to maintain a good picture, it's advisable to engage exclusively with your brand on the various social media platforms by rewarding all loyal clients.

Jalapeño Buttermilk Brined Grilled Chicken
Hola!!! It's almost the 4th of July and I know everyone is running around putting together their recipe lists for the holiday. I am. On my list this year…Jalapeño Buttermilk Brined Grilled Chicken. We usually try and do a little traveling this time of year but I think we're headed to the lake with friends. We have a fairly tight knit group of friends (Ha! I typed fiends and my computer corrected me although fiends is probably a little more accurate!) and one of the couples has a place at the lake. We always have the very best time when we all get together. We've dubbed ourselves "The Sexy Six" because we're terribly witty and clever and most of all very vain but we all get along so well. We also think we're hilarious but I'm sure people on the outside looking in just think we're extremely annoying.
When we spend the weekend at the lake we all bring enough food for an army and sit and stuff ourselves until we can't fit another bite. It's so much fun!!! So I'm thinking this recipe would be a good lunch, thrown on the grill for one of the days.
Aaannnnyyyywayy. I tested this recipe out the other day and fell in love. I've talked about my love of spicy and sweet together. I know you're sick of it so I won't keep reminding you. This recipe was perfectly centered in that category. I could have used more heat personally but since I was trying to feed the whole family I held back some.
I used a brine for the chicken this time. What exactly is a brine you ask? Well, there are two types of brine. A wet and a dry. A dry brine would involve rubbing the meat with a mixture of salt and herbs and spices (especially heavy on the salt…that's the key) and letting it sit for about an hour per pound. Traditionally a brine is used on turkeys at Thanksgiving. A wet brine is more like a marinade but uses salt water with added spices. In this recipe I used buttermilk and water along with salt, sugar and some other fun stuff. I LOVED the way it turned out.
For the spicy element, I used jalapeño's but I seeded and deveined them since I had small children eating. They were especially large (the jalapeño's…not the children) and after handling them (again…not the children) my hands burned like the devil for hours which never happens. For that reason I didn't add a large quantity as I assumed they were super spicy. They weren't and looking back I wish I had left some of the vein and/or used more to get more of the pepper flavor. You'll have to use your own judgment there.
Normally when I marinate meats I dump everything in a 1-2 gallon zip top bag. It's so easy and there's no clean up. So, I threw in the ingredients along with the chicken and stuck it in the fridge for about 48 hours. You probably don't have to do it that long but I wouldn't go less than 24 or you could even go a little longer if you wanted.
When I was ready to grill them, I placed them on a hot grilled that I brushed with canola oil, let them sit a few minutes and then turned 180 degrees to get a nice criss cross pattern of grill marks.
It worked on some and not on others since I have hot spots on my grill. When I flipped them over to do the same on the other side I brushed the cooked side with simple syrup. It gave the chicken a slightly sweet flavor on the outside and added a nice caramelized color and also added another layer of flavor to accentuated the brine ingredients. Very pleased. Very, very pleased! You really should try it if you're grilling for the 4th. If you do, let me me know?
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon cracked pepper
- 3 tablespoons worcestershire
- 5-10 dashes hot sauce (or more to taste)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 3 large jalapeño's, seeds and ribs removed for less heat (or more to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (I used garlic paste)
- 3 1/2 to 4 lbs chicken (I used skinless, boneless thighs)
- For simple syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- Over medium heat on the stove, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool. Set aside for later.
- In a large bowl stir water, buttermilk, sugar, worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper until sugar is dissolved.
- Place chicken and buttermilk mixture in a 2 gallon zip-top bag.
- Add remaining ingredients and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours. (I kept mine in the brine approximately 48 hours.)
- Remove chicken and discard brine liquid.
- Heat grill to 300-350 degrees and brush lightly with canola oil.
- Grill chicken until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 165 degrees turning from time to time and basting with simple syrup while cooking.
- Let stand 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

I am trying to teach myself how to use linux tools on a cygwin install. I decided to make up a project to try to teach myself the basics of shell scripting and simultaneously accomplish some personal education. My original project was to save the html pages from every winner of the Sakharov Prize into a folder, and to write a script that would process all the html text files and return the name, year, birth and death in a hyphenated format, and country of origin. Due to certain inconsistencies in date formatting (18 July 1918 vs January 23, 1938), as well as an inability to handle dead people vs live people with no death date or figure out how to tell a computer how to recognize country names without manually listing out all the countries myself, I've basically given up on this project.
Now, I'm just trying to return the year, name, and country of origin of each recipient from the html table taken from the Sakharov Prize wikipedia page.
So, given the following sample html:
Mandela, NelsonNelson Mandela
South Africa
Anti-apartheid activist and later President of South Africa
[5]
Marchenko, AnatolyAnatoly Marchenko (posthumously)
Soviet Union
Soviet dissident, author and humans rights activist
[5]
what is the best way to return just the year, name, and country of origin of each recipient? Right now I'm thinking about just writing an awk script that returns everything that does not match /<*>/, but that is not exactly what I want. Can someone give me some pointers or ideas of how to pick out the names, year, and countries specifically? Or at least some books with better and more manageable sample problems than ones that I could come up with myself? None of this sounded unreasonable when I started...

THank you very much for posting that!
Will have to check this out.
Can someone post a comparison of the bottle from Paris and the International one? Or even the box?
Thank you!
It's a great sandalwood fragrance. A little rough but it's classy.
I have a small bottle of the EDT and 2 big bottles of AS. =) The AS, even though doesn't project much, the smell is the same. The AS is actually richer than other current men's fragrances on the...

How about the Vetiver extrait by Roja Dove? Although I haven't smelled that one.
Vetiver for Men by Guerlain. elegant and timeless.
Oud by Robert Piguet
I don't think it's because they have something in common...if these scents you listed have something in common, they're very minimal. You just don't like the smell in general, period. =)
Vintage is richer, drier, spicier...while the current formulation feels cleaned up and watered down.
Terryfic Oud by Terry de Gunzburg
Al Shomoukh and Rayaheen Attar by Amouage
Rose d'Arabie by Armani Prive

Royal Vintage by M. Micallef. I prefer this one over Aventus. RV is more complex and has a classier vibe.
Parfumerie Generale
Opus V is quite potent. My problem with it is that it's too "high pitched". I do like the dry down though when the oud comes out to play.
One of the best gourmands on the market.
I would go for Bois du Portugal. Very classy fragrance. And I think it's the best from the Milessime line.

Musc Ravegeur. It smells gorgeous from opening to dry down.
Aqua Universalis Forte by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
I did try this a couple of days ago. It is indeed nice.

Continuing with my Feb Empties, here are my make up and other things, including a bunch of sheet masks! As always, I'll do short reviews on them here, because my schedule and lifestyle just don't afford the luxury to review them individually. ;)
#044 - Clinique Lash Power Curling Mascara, Long-wearing Formula
Has a brush that I like, but the product/formula doesn't do anything to my lashes. No curling, lenghtening, volumising, whatsoever. Will be keeping the tiny brush for brow-combing on the go... :)
Rating: 1/5 for the brush + Repurchase: No.
#045 - E.L.F. Plumping Lip Glaze
Not bad quality for its US$1 price tag. Not plumping on me, and doesn't last on me. The colour is nothing - on my lips anyway. I adore its menthol-ness a lot.
Rating: 2/5 + Repurchase: No.
One of my 'holy grail' that is sadly (curseword) discontinued. I have talked about it in previous posts, please look them up if wanted! A bit too sad to insert links here. :'(
Rating: 5/5 + Repurchase: Cannot.
#047 - "Intrusion" Eau de Parfum by Oscar de la Renta
(The name of it has been rubbed off.) This was a 1.5ml sample I bought at Bonjour - yes they do sell perfume samples. Very elegant and intense. Mainly floral with tiniest bit of fruity top notes. I would describe this as an elder-sister scent (not that I have an elder sibling). More a night scent than a day one. Not a very special fragrance, but rather hard-to-wear due to its 'heaviness', in my opinion anyway.
Rating: 3/5 + Repurchase: No.
|making myself look like a fool. no?
Rating: 4/5 + Repurchase: Yes.
#049 -Beauty Mate (Gold) Refining Smooth Nano Mask
Soft thin cloth. Quite a lot of lotion. Moisturising and decently brightens. Relatively cheap. Seriously wanting to get their new masks, including one featuring SNAIL serum ;)
Rating: 4/5 + Repurchase: Yes.
#050 - My Scheming 我的心機 Crystal Hydrating Eye Mask
#051 - Lifecella Ceramide
Japan. Clean scent. Big sheet. Not enough lotion/serum. Refreshing. Just okay.
Rating: 2/5 + Repurchase: No.
#052 - Dainty Design Lycopen Mask
Taiwan. Tomato food scent - too strong - dislike. Decent sheet. Moist.
Rating: 2/5 + Repurchase: No.
Japan. Soft babys scent. Very moist. Love. I like this in winter and the *blue* for summer. Bought a bunch of *yellow* to try out too. ((happy))
Rating: 4/5 + Repurchase: Yes.
#054 - Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Whitening Mask
Taiwan. Moist. Soft scent. Love. Super soft sheet and nice cutting. Cover sides of nose nicely.
Rating: 5/5 + Repurchase: Yes.
#055, #056 - My Beauty Diary Camellia Mask
Taiwan. A little expensive. No special scent. Super soft sheet. Very moisturizing.
Rating: 4/5 + Repurchase: No.
Special/Random Mentions
Everything in Daiso used to cost HK$10 (i.e. US$1.3), but now raised to HK$12 (US$1.5). This was bought at US$1.3, and I guessed the price was the only reason I got it. Turned out it doesn't dry fast, nor dry clear. It is of no use to me and because of the dried glue around the opening, I decided to toss this. Strongly dis-courage anyone to try this glue!
Sheet Masks: 9
Random/Extras: 2 +3
Cheers :D

Augustine astutely quashed the 5th century pagan contention that Christian belief is both superstitious and barbaric. Science, he pointed out, can and should be used to clarify and illuminate the Christian faith. In Fides et Ratio, John Paul II not only echoed this insight, but also insisted on its complimentary reverse. Faith can help scientists discover the meaning and ethos of their empirical investigations and discoveries.
In this light, I recently read the results of a large, representative study on male hormones and social behavior (Lee Gettler et al, "Longitudinal evidence that fatherhood decreases testosterone in human males," [PNAS, 2011]). The study's data show that the physiology of male hormones has evolved to facilitate a father's caregiving toward his children.
The researchers underscore the verb, facilitate. There are, after all, deadbeat dads and abusive fathers out there. So, while the physiological mechanisms of the male neuroendocrine system can give a biological boost to the father's efforts at raising his children, only the father's free decision, choice, and actual provision of the care gets the job done.
The findings of the Gettler study cry out for an evaluation through the lens of Christian anthropology and theological ethics. My reflection answers the question: What's the study's Catholic take-home message for natural (biological) fathers?
The Study and What It Suggests
Prior to the Gettler study, other smaller surveys had already demonstrated that fathers have lower testosterone (T). But, since these earlier investigations were cross-sectional, measuring "snapshots" in time, they couldn't definitively prove whether it was fatherhood that brought T down or whether lower-T males were just more likely to become fathers.
The Gettler study, in contrast, took a longitudinal approach by studying a large group of men who lived in or around Cebu City, Philippines where it is customary for fathers to be involved in the everyday care of their children. It followed 624 men and measured testosterone levels at 21.5 (baseline) years of age, and again, after they had become fathers 4.5 years later, when they were 26 (follow-up).
Does dating-related behavior elevate male T levels? and Does childcare-related behavior depress male T levels?
This study's data showed:
- Single non-fathers with higher testosterone levels at baseline were more likely (than those with lower baseline levels of T) to be newly-partnered and newly-partnered-new-fathers at follow-up;
- Men who were both newly-married and new fathers at follow-up showed the largest declines in T, more than double that of single, non-father participants at follow-up;
- All new fathers, regardless of their youngest child's age, experienced a significant reduction in T compared with non-fathers, while fathers with newborns at the time of follow-up showed significantly greater declines in T compared with fathers whose youngest child was older than 1 year of age
- Fathers providing the greatest childcare output (3+ hours per day) had lower T levels than fathers providing lesser parenting care.
If we evaluate the findings of the Gettler study from the side of evolutionary biology and anthropology, they suggest that biology and behavior exert bi-directional influences on one another.
First, elevated testosterone levels in a single, fatherless male could be predictive of his mate-finding success. Increased testosterone, in other words, facilitates assertiveness and competitiveness with other single males and enhances the male's physical condition: better health, better looks (stronger muscles, bigger body), collectively making the man more attractive to, and more apt to win over, a female partner.
Second, downregulation of T in married fathers facilitates fatherly caregiving and husbandly commitment and is, in this sense, predictive of the father's parenting success. The human partnered father, has an evolved "neuroendocrine architecture" shaped to facilitate his role as husband and father. As one anthropologist explains it: "a dad with lower testosterone is maybe a little more sensitive to cues from his child, and maybe a little less sensitive to cues from a woman he meets at a restaurant."
Third, human parental care is so important—and demanding—that it has shaped the neuroendocrine physiology of both mothers and fathers. Since children are totally dependent on parental care for at least the first decade of their lives, they require "raising" by both parents, in a cooperative, bi-parental fashion. In short, the data of the Gettler study supports the nostrum that children need a mommy and a daddy.
Fourth, the Gettler study data reinforces the evolutionary biologist's notion of how male "investment" in children also, and at once, benefits the wife and mother as well as the family unit. Direct forms of a married man's parenting include provision of food, shelter, protection, and other resources for the child; indirect forms include social-emotional support of his wife, maintenance of the home, and acquisition of adequate material family-supportive resources.
The sum of these efforts not only dramatically (1) enhances children's chances for survival and reproductive success but also (2) promotes the mother's well-being and protection, allowing her to conserve her energy for future attempts at pregnancy, and (3) stabilizes and enriches the family unit.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed serious concern over the predatory pricing by the domestic airlines, an issue that will be addressed shortly by the civil aviation ministry, which is also mulling a two per cent cess on tickets in its new aviation policy.
Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said the new civil aviation policy, which is in the advanced stage of finalisation, would provide a long-term road map for the sector's growth.
After his address at an industry event, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma said the issue of predatory pricing was a concern of a majority of Parliamentarians and the prime minister.
"The Prime Minister has shown his concern over the predatory pricing issue and it needs to be addressed," he said.
The issue had come up during a presentation by the Civil Aviation Ministry to the Prime Minister on draft aviation policy on Tuesday, he said.
Mr. Sharma said the airlines need to reduce fares and not hike them particularly when it comes to emergency travel like in medical emergency, adding that there could be three approaches to prevent predatory pricing ways.
"We will take the airlines into confidence and tell them that the practice (of predatory pricing) is giving a bad name to the industry," he said.
A mechanism can also be there through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) or through national carrier Air India to deal with the issue, he added.
Meanwhile, sources said the Civil Aviation ministry is looking at a levy of two per cent cess on air fares which will be part of the new aviation policy.
Under the new policy, the government is looking at enhancing air connectivity to regional and remote areas such as the North East, apart from other measures to boost the domestic aviation sector.
