Hardwood Furniture Guild
Travel anywhere in the U.S. and you will be able to find a store who carries furniture crafted in Holmes County Ohio. Many of these builders are members of the Hardwood Furniture Guild. The Guild collaborates with Cassel Bear for marketing materials, catalogs, websites and more.
The Guild's website was built not only to share with others a directory of the current members, but also to help promote what all the Hardwood Furniture Guild does for potential new members.
Working with the association of builders allows Cassel Bear to market the industry and the area. Two signature events, the Spring and Fall Ohio Hardwood Furniture Market, brings furniture buyers from around the U.S. to Northeast Ohio. During these events, many relationships are formed between buyers and builders and truckloads of furniture are contracted.
As part of Hardwood Furniture Guild's continued emphasis on marketing the furniture manufacturing industry, the Guild partnered with us to redesign the robust Buyer Resource we'd previously created for them. Cassel Bear undertook the task of reaching out to over 200 builders featured in the guide to gather updates to their profile pages – new photos, adapted copy, additional pieces or styles of furniture they are now creating – and then craft a new version of this directory for use by furniture retailers all over the country.
The Hardwood Furniture Guild's Annual Dinner allows members and other local interested parties not only to hear about the Guild's initiatives over the past year, but also to be equipped and trained for growing and improving their furniture manufacturing. 2016's meeting featured more speakers than usual, so Cassel Bear was tasked with presenting these multiple options in a small amount of space. We used simple colors and geometric shapes to differentiate and organize lots of written content.
The Hardwood Furniture Guild hopes to host its annual Ohio Hardwood Furniture Market at Harvest Ridge, the new Holmes County Fairgrounds, in future years. Because of this, the Guild has been doing its part to encourage its member builders to raise and commit funds to the large building project. This invitation is one of several pieces we designed, inviting constituents to attend one of several events laying out the plan behind Harvest Ridge and different ways that businesses can donate to the cause. The design makes use of the Guild's brand colors and fonts while introducing the speech bubble motif to capture voices from the community who are already committed to the effort.
These soft laminate tags are attached to furniture that leaves a Guild builder's facilities. The tag is a mark of distinction so that buyers know that a the builder is a member of the Guild.
Brand photography is defined and used across all branded materials.

(Frank Graham)
Do you remember a time when the only home entertainment we had was our precious radio? Do you remember our universally popular Springbok Radio with its plethora of music shows and quiz shows? And, particularly, do you recall the vast numbers of plays, serials, and series? Do you remember, above all, the comedies that could help to lift your spirits at the end of a hard day?
"Of course you do," says popular entertainer, Frank Graham, "and with affection, I would suggest. Those were the days of Inspector Carr, Henry Simon of the Missing Persons Bureau, of Doctor Paul and Mary Livingston, MD. They were the days of No 1 and No 2, Sir Gregory Pitkin, Mildred Murfin and Humbert and Lolita Snetherswaite; the days of Able Seaman Johnson, Percy Snodgrass and Kenneth Wibley.
"From 1968 on, the vast majority of comedies was recorded right here in Durban, many of them in front of "live" audiences," he adds.
Come and spend a nostalgic evening at the Rhumbelow with Frank Graham, one of South Africa's most versatile character actors and comedians as he re-invokes those memories with his hugely popular brand of humour. You'll go home with a song in your heart!
Presented by Rhumbelow, The Golden Days Of Springbok Radio has performances at Tina's Hotel in Kloof on June 3 at 20h00 and on June 4at 14h00 and 18h30. Venue opens 90 minutes before show for drinks (no alcohol or food may be brought on to the premises). For restaurant reservations contact 031 764 7843).

Sometimes a product comes along that makes you think, "why did it take us so long to come up with this?". The difficulty in refolding maps has long been the source of frustration. Now FINALLY someone has come up with a solution. Forget refolding. Just crumple. Or fold it any way you want. Hell, make it into a hat if you want. Plus there's no worry of tearing–it's made from Tyvek, a nearly indestructible fabric. Crumpled City Maps even come in a gift box with a draw-string pouch for storing the map after each use.

The Great Lunch Challenge of 2011 by MeganPublished September 23, 2011 Green Treasures , Treasures for Making Chores more fun , Treasures For The Home , Treasures From The Shop Leave a Comment
Tags: "Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store", "Bento Boxes"
Earlier this month, with the advent of fall I embarked on the Great Lunch Challenge of 2011 in which I am packing own lunch every week day – both to be healthier and to save money. With this commitment came the problem of figuring out how to transport my lunch. Since I often bring leftovers I need something that can go in the microwave and most conventional plastic isn't supposed to, and given all the recent brouhaha over its toxicity I wanted something fully BPA-free. Also, isn't it the worst to actually bring a lunch and then realize you forgot a fork?
Enter the Bento Box! This fantastic container can go in both the microwave and dishwasher, is BPA-free, and has a handy matching fork that attaches to the outside. Also, there's a removable divider in case you want to separate dishes and a sauce holder (perfect for when I had a salad for lunch on Wednesday). Does it get any better than this?

New Storage Pouches!!Published September 21, 2011 Treasures For Kids , Treasures for Making Chores more fun , Treasures From The Shop Leave a Comment
Tags: "proud parent pouch", "storage pouch"
Our brilliant Proud Parent Pouches are now in two new styles! We love the Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade versions, but these are so much more versatile. They're great for any age child, or even adults! With the sturdy grommet you can hang the pouch on a wall to show off your child's achievements, or store it flat in a box. I've been in a major organization and downsizing mood lately, and I think these are necessary for my future happiness. I have tons of old papers that need to be organized. These are perfect–I'll pop the grommet over a hanger and stash it in the back of my closet. This way it's taking up virtually no space, and can be easily accessed to add more mementos. Oh, the joy of a clean closet!!!

The Bronx Wants a 200,000 Square Foot Rooftop Farm
If the City gets its way, the Bronx will soon be home to one of the biggest rooftop farms in the world: It will cover an astounding 200,000 square feet. That's 4.6 acres. The spot is an active warehouse in Hunts Point, an enormous food distribution center where 115 private wholesalers sell food that reaches 23 million people in the metropolitan area.
The New York Economic Development Corporation is working on a general renovation of the area, and issued a Request for Proposals to develop and operate a year-round working rooftop farm.According to Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, it's a win-win project:
With the potential construction of a new rooftop farm, the Hunts Point industrial area will be able to better provide greater quantities of produce to consumers while generating new employment opportunities for New Yorkers...This new proposal will not only create much needed jobs but will also provide fresh produce for countless Bronxites.
It's great to see the City getting behind a large-scale project that will complement the growing network of community gardens around the five boroughs. If it comes together, New Yorkers could give up the idea of spending a summer day by a fancy rooftop pool for some urban farming with a view of the river.

Large brown wooden boxes with sunset lids
Storage boxes, natural wood (suitable for storing food)
There was a time when people were busy with the hustle of travelling. Big cars, fast jets and engeneering in each possible place. They soon realised that technology killed the spirit of nature so they started to go back to the nature and its charms rather than to the fast tempo of life.
So today, many people get focused on life close to the nature and on the rising of awareness of special things in everyday life. That is why the natural products are living up their Renessaince time now.
Today rural life is growing in popularity like never before - whether it concerns the food, place of work, holiday destination for adults and children. Only close to nature people both adults and children can experience much authenticity when they are watching animals and learn about the hard life of farmers.
Therefore the close to nature life themes make an ideal apply motives for your keepsake boxes. The fact that they are made in a special way from only natural materials such as raw wood, matters much today.

Rating: 2 stars out of 6
After his partner's death, Thomas Doyle lives a life made of work and late-night sexual encounters with unnamed bodies. It's a life of solitude that leaves him too much time to think and regret.
Yet, despite everything, he jealously treasures it.
That's why when Elias Byrne—who comes out of the shadows of Thomas' nights—suddenly bursts into his everyday life with arrogance, Thomas finds himself fighting against ambivalent feelings—the need to reject the tormented Elias and the strange, inconceivable, and difficult to accept desire to join their solitudes.
My Thoughts:
In the beginning of this book I had high hopes – it was moving quickly and it was intriguing, I wanted to know Elias's backstory, I wanted to know Thomas's backstory. By midway through the book I got a bit bored of the characters, I felt like they didn't progress enough for me, Elias showed his age (I felt he could have been written a bit more adult given his past/current) and I found him rather annoying.
The same goes for Thomas, I felt he could have been written a bit more mature, he's older and has a past (which in the end I wasn't even really interested in) but he acted like a teenager sometimes.
It was all written mostly with Thomas/Elias – barely any outside influence happened at all and I was frustrated, it gave less opportunity for the characters to really develop.
Overall it just wasn't my type of read – but it's still worth a read if you like an intriguing backstory to a character/very main character driven book.

Situational Intelligence
Situational Intelligence (SQ): Assessment by The Decider
Situational intelligence (SQ) measures one's ability to make good decisions in a changing, evolving environment. The Decider's SQ score is a holistic measure of exactly this ability.
SQ is, in turn, built upon subcomponents: a person with situational intelligence displays three characteristics. First, you must be able to Jump in and know where you are. That is, you must be able to size up an environment and quickly identify significant patterns and key drivers in that environment. Second, you should Know what you can do. That is, you should be able to identify options and think ahead. Third, you must be able to Do it and see if it works. This means that you should be able to assimilate feedback from your environment and adapt to that feedback in a flexible manner.

If you read my blog post dated 13 Nov 14 with the title of "
Master Lee's 2015 Year of Goat Prediction part 1 : The United States may get attacked? 李老师2015羊年预测 part 1 : 西方国家尤其是美国被攻击?http://penangfengshui.blogspot.com/2014/11/master-lees-2015-year-of-goat.html, I said the most inauspicious star five yellow and three evil ( three killings) are at the West, the argument star亡神, 寅入命, therefore there may be war, large demonstrations, unstable global situation, trade between countries continue to be tense, diplomatic sanctions, currency war, IS terror continued, especially in Western countries. The serious anti-racism protest in USA now is showing the sign (In fact, you will notice the signs of what is going to happen in the next year by looking at what is happening at the end of the year and this is my true experience) and hence 2015 is a year full of mess especially the West. Also, don't forget the argument star enters into the center and the center of the world is the Middle East, there may be war, large demonstrations and IS terror continued. With OPEC's announcement today to maintain the production of petroleum which caused the price of the petroleum to remain low is a threat to the USA as the cost to produce the crude petroleum ,which USA has a lot of reserves is higher than the petroleum price now. A serious economic war on petroleum price has started.
My prediction is with the strong signal of the mess in the West and Middle East. The price of the petroleum will remain low for at least months. USA is trying to choke Russia so that Russia will not support Ukraine separatists and weapon supplies to Syrian. This is because the USA and OPEC are still fighting to control the price of the petroleum which the cost of petroleum production in Russia is still high and Russia now has basically limited say of the world petroleum price. USA is attempting to stop the Crimea detachment from Ukraine. It is obviously a serious and complicated economic war on petroleum price has started, or I should say it is continuing ....but will get more serious and complicated.

[Cell] Abstract | Graphical Abstract PUBLICATIONS (Ranked by impact factor of the journal) High Graft CD8 Cell Dose Predicts Improved Survival and Enables Better Donor Selection in Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplantation with Reduced-Intensity Conditioning Researchers evaluated associations between graft T-cell doses and outcomes in 200 patients who underwent reduced-intensity conditioned allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with a peripheral blood stem-cell graft. [J Clin Oncol] Abstract Treatment with Agonistic DR3 Antibody Results in Expansion of Donor Tregs and Reduced Graft-Versus-Host Disease The authors investigated whether treating donor mice with a single dose of agonistic antibody to DR3 could alleviate acute graft versus host disease in a MHC-mismatched bone marrow transplantation model. [Blood] Abstract Treprostinil Indirectly Regulates Endothelial Colony Forming Cell Angiogenic Properties by Increasing VEGF-A Produced by Mesenchymal Stem Cells Researchers examined the effect of treprostinil on endothelial colony forming cells (ECFC) obtained from cord blood in terms of colony numbers, proliferative and clonogenic properties in vitro, as well as in vivo vasculogenic properties. Treprostinil inhibited viability of cultured ECFC but did not modify their clonogenic properties or the endothelial differentiation potential from cord blood stem cells. [Thromb Haemost] Abstract | Full Article The Impact of Repeated Autologous Infusion of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Patients with Liver Insufficiency Investigators assessed the clinical and biochemical effects of repeated stem cell infusion.

[Stem Cell Res Ther] Abstract | Full Article Retinal Angiogenesis Effects of TGF-β1, and Paracrine Factors Secreted from Human Placental Stem Cells in Response to a Pathological Environment Investigators evaluated the role of systemically injected human placental amniotic membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) on pathological neovascularization of proliferative retinopathy. They determined that AMSCs secreted higher levels of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) than other mesenchymal stem cells and the secreted TGF-β1 directly suppressed the proliferation of endothelial cells under pathological conditions in vitro.

Felix Serralles took his fifth win of the season for Fortec in the reverse-grid sprint race at Silverstone.
A frantic opening lap saw front row starters Pipo Derani and Jack Harvey clashing in to Brooklands, gifting the lead to Serralles as he took avoiding action, team-mate Alex Lynn remained hot on his tail while Harvey slipped to third. Derani would limp around to the pits but be forced to retire with damaged suspension.
"I was past him on the outside going into Brooklands," said Harvey, "and he hit me in the sidepod and pushed me off. I was half a car length in front."
Unfortunately for the British driver the stewards saw the incident differently and after studying video of the incident handed Harvey a 30-second penalty. The race wouldn't get any better for him as he would be penalised with a five-place grid drop for the final race of the day after weaving to block Derani in a separate incident. The Carlin team have put in an appeal following the race and the results remain provisional.
With the first lap out of the way a three-car battle for victory emerged as Serralles struggled with the handling of his car. His battle was helped out by the battle behind with Lynn fending off the challenge from Harvey as he tried to find a way in to the lead.
Breaking point would come when Serralles almost lost control of his car after putting two wheels on the dirt, almost losing control. Lynn was forced in to a spin as he tried to avoid and as a result dropped to sixth place.
"It was a tough race." Serralles explained, "Alex had a better car; I was struggling a bit with mine. I didn't spin, I was just struggling with the car and there was nothing I could do at that point."
"I saw Alex spinning back across the track and thought 'Oh dear, I might collect him' but I was able to avoid him." said the chasing Harvey who would finish second on track but be demoted to tenth following the penalty.
Jazeman Jaafar who won the opening race of the weekend made a strong start from ninth on the grid to move up to sixth on the opening lap, followed by a pass on Pietro Fantin for fifth on the next lap. As Derani dropped out Jaafar moved up to fourth. By the end of the race Jaafar had moved up to a podium spot following Lynn's spin.
"The podium was my target; it was a hard fight on the same tyres I used yesterday but I got it and it's important for the championship." said Jaafar. The Malaysian would be promoted to second following Harvey's penalty.
Fantin rounded out the final three following the penalties being applied, Rupert Svendsen-Cook followed with Lynn, Carlos Sainz and Hannes Van Asseldonk in tow. Geoff Urhahane, Nick McBride and Harry Tincknell would round out the top 10.
Pedro Pablo Calbimonte looked set for a win in the National class after moving in to the lead on the second lap but a trip off track on lap five gave Duvashen Padayachee a clear run to the flag with Spike Goddard taking second.
"I was putting pressure on Pedro and he made a mistake, ran on to the dirt out of Maggotts and spun. Compared to yesterday this was a much better race for me," said Padayachee.

Shades of Scrum: Sprint length
December 20, 2012 at 7:48 am 8 comments
The Sprint length in Scrum is 30 days or less. Most teams work with 2 or 3 week Sprints and the most common recommendation for the Sprint length seems to be 2 weeks. 30 day Sprints seem to be very rare.
The general thinking here is that shorter Sprints lead to more frequent inspect&adapt regarding the product (Sprint Review) and the process (Sprint Retrospective). When a team is capable of doing 3 week Sprints it should therefore try to work with 2 week Sprints and then 1 week Sprints.
But I think there is missing an important aspect: When the team is capable of delivering within a certain Sprint length there are actually two possibilities for further improvement:
- Shorten the Sprint length to reduce feedback cycles and allow more frequent inspect&adapt.
- Deepen the teams capability by reducing the Definition of Ready (start the Sprint with a less formal specification) or increasing the Definition of Done (e.g. by including live deployment).
Which direction to take is – of course – dependent on the specific context.
Shorten the Sprint length is valuable if
- the Product Owner is actually able to react that fast to feedback about the product
- the team is able to create and implement process improvements that fast
Deepen the teams capabilities by reducing the Definition of Ready is valuable if
- cross-functional work seems valuable not only for the implementation but also for the definition of the "what" (remember the benefits of cross-functional work: more creativity, higher quality)
- the Product Owner is overloaded (e.g. he is a Jeff type of Product Owner but is forced to work like a Walter or Marty)
Deepen the teams capabilities by increasing the Definition of Done is valuable if
- the product increment isn't really shippable until now (e.g. integration tests are missing; the demo is done in a branch)
- there are often problems in the downstream processes (e.g. operations has problems with deploying the product increment into production)
- When your team becomes more capable you should discuss if you want to shorten the Sprint length or deepen the capabilities of the team.
- When your team is capable of doing the current Sprint length but not a shorter one, you should discuss if it would be valuable to extend the Sprint length and deepen the capabilities of the team.

Hi Stefan,
it is unusual for me to *think* in Sprints. But when I commit to doing so, in fact, the deeper the process is integrated, then there may be a good reason for a longer sprint length, to not disrupt the value chain during important features. We currently see a lot of discussion on integrating UX snuggly into the delivery chain. I think that is – in parts – due to the issue that UX is defying the sprint concept … it just takes time. No matter how lean you do it.
But there again you see both sides of the medal: Just extending the sprint length may be a great thing for advanced teams. For Shu teams it might be the sign to not take waste out of the 'process'.
Interesting thought anyway!
The counter point of Sprint length, is two weeks sprint encourage the PO to only look at results at the end. a longer sprint forces the PO to engage and sign off during the Sprint.
Also, 4 week sprints give you a true business lump of function. a 2 week sprint will give you business functionality, but is it truly useful? I have seen in quite a few organisations, 2 week sprints, but then 3-4 sprint releases. They launch to market every 8-12 weeks. Surely launching every 4 weeks would be a better approach? You are also more likely to get stakeholder feedback (USEFUL stakeholder feedback) on a slightly longer cadence. Too many people do not use the Sprint Review to empirically steer the product.
I think people go far too quickly to the "2 week" sprint length. The variability is now there to assist with other options.
P.S. The last survey I saw on sprint length said that 3 weeks was the most common.
P.P.S. I hate 1 week sprints except in highly exceptional circumstances. They are not sustainable pace.
Great article, but I was awaiting your opinion on increasing the sprint length.
[…] Shades of Scrum: Sprint length – the article describes some advantages of longer Sprint lengths (which may be the result of folding a pipeline into Sprints) […]
[…] Sprint length: The article compares shorter and longer Sprint lengths and shows that longer Sprint lengths have their value – not only for beginners. […]
[…] Die Sprints in den Fallbeispielen sind relativ lang (eher Monatssprint als 2-Wochen-Sprints). Das harmoniert meiner Meinung nach sehr gut mit der Besetzung der Product Owner-Rolle durch Top-Manager. Auch über die Sprint-Länge habe ich an anderer Stelle gebloggt. […]

Hole in Servile's Lair
edited July 2018 in Thor's Hammer
I was in the lair before and was able to get to the other side of the hole after entering it, but now that I'm coming back at level 16 I'm unable to get past the hole. What am I missing? I think this is the last thing I can do in Thor's Hammer. I've enjoyed the ride!
Isn't that the was it goes? I just tried walking forward a couple of times more and the hole disappeared😸
That's how it goes. : )

Relevant excerpt
agism (n) - Discrimination of individuals based on their age, i.e. of the elderly based on the notion that they are incapable of performing certain functions such as driving, or of the young based on the notion that they are immature and therefore incapable of performing certain tasks.
disadvantaged (adj) - 1. A historically oppressed group having less than sufficient resources to fund all of basic needs; without expendable income. 2. A group characterized by disproportionate economic, social, and political disadvantages.

diversity (n) - A situation that includes representation of multiple (ideally all) groups within a prescribed environment, such as a university or a workplace. This word most commonly refers to differences between cultural groups, although it is also used to describe differences within cultural groups, e.g. diversity within the Asian-American culture includes Korean Americans and Japanese Americans. An emphasis on accepting and respecting cultural differences by recognizing that no one culture is intrinsically superior to another underlies the current usage of the term.
ethnicity (n) - A quality assigned to a specific group of people historically connected by a common national origin or language. Ethnic classification is used for identification rather than differentiation.
essentialism (n) - The practice of categorizing a group based on an artificial social construction that imparts an 'essence' of that group, which homogenizes the group and effaces individuality and difference.
ethnicity (n) - A quality assigned to a specific group of people historically connected by a common national origin or language. Ethnic classification is used for identification rather than differentiation.

Eurocentrism (n) - The practice of consciously or unconsciously privileging the culture of Europe over other cultures.

Native-American (adj) - Refers to the descendants of the various indigenous populations that occupied the land now designated America.
neo-colonialization (n) - Term for contemporary policies adopted by international and western '1st world' nations and organizations that exert regulation, power and control over poorer '3rd world' nations disguised as humanitarian help or aid. These policies are distinct from but related to the 'original' period of colonization of Africa, Asia, and the Americas by European nations.
oriental (adj) - Relating to or deriving from the language, traditions, or cultures of the peoples of Asian nations in the region designated as 'the Orient,' or 'the East,' by Europeans. This term is conspicuously eurocentric as 'the East' is constructed as being opposed to a fixed reference point, 'the West,' or western Europe.P
Pan-Africanism (n) - 1. Describes the theory relating to the desire to educate all peoples of the African diaspora of their common plight and of the connections between them, e.g. a problem faced by one group affects the lives of other groups as well. 2.

social constructionism (n) - A perception of an individual, group, or idea that is 'constructed' through cultural and social practice, but appears to be 'natural,' or 'the way things are.' For example, the idea that women 'naturally' like to do housework is a social construction because this idea appears 'natural' due to its historical repetition, rather than it being 'true' in any essential sense.

What Our Clients Say
The best thing about the course was learning the proper process and functionality behind the tools. They were all tools I have used before but understanding them properly was excellent.
Expressions were a massive highlight.
Very hands on training, went through a logical structure to learn all the fundamentals of Adobe Premiere Pro.
Final Cut Pro X 100: The number of edits we did, and the balance between guidance and experimentation was excellent
DaVinci Resolve 101: Good pace, small class.
Avid MC101: Really informative. Mike was really helpful about going off topic to help with areas not directly covered with the course.
Premiere Pro Introduction: Insightful, industry knowledge with a friendly and approachable delivery.
After Effects Bundle: Training was easy to understand and follow. I loved the training on 3D and motion tracking
John was an excellent tutor. Very patient... great communication and obviously very skilled and knowledgeable with Cinema 4D. I was very pleased with the entire 3 days tuition.
I recently took part in the online 'Introduction to Premiere Pro' training run by Soho Editors and went from total novice to putting together a video with effects in just a few hours. The training was superb: informative, hands on and also fun. I must also say that the admin team that handled my initial query and booking were also very helpful and gave a great impression of what was to come with the training. My Tutor was extremely professional and great at sharing Pro Editor tips with me but understood that I was a total beginner and gave me ample opportunities for questions, practice and learning from my own mistakes. The fact I could do this training online and from a distance was a joy and privilege and the cost of the course was excellent value. This training from Soho Editors has sparked a genuine love for using Premiere Pro and I can't wait to do further training with them very soon. If you are looking for training in Premiere Pro, Soho Editors will equip you with the skills to get you started, inspire you with editing ideas and give you the confidence to unleash your creativity!

When I last caught up with Ooma in New York I had a chance to learn about their slick new Telo device which looks like a blend of art and communications. I have always been a fan of Bang & Olufsen products – they are some of the best designers of stereo products on the planet. I was not surprised at all to see some B&O products at Ooma headquarters when I visited last week. They can be quite inspiring. In fact, the Telo could pass as a B&O device but you can detect that B&O would have made it a bit more artsy and less functional.
Ooma Telo in all its video glory — a live demo from Ooma HQ
click Play button above to play video
Some important details regarding Ooma are as follows. The company sells a device for $250 (or whatever the retailer charges up front and provides free US phone service from that point on). International rates are similar to Skype. One really interesting stat is their Premier Telephony Package which adds a second line, three-way conferencing and Multi-Ring (Find me, Follow-me), black list and more is chosen by 28% of customers. At $12.99/month or $99.99/year it seems like a good value.
More recently as municipalities are looking to tax anything they can, have found VoIP to be a tempting target and as such Ooma may be forced to charge users monthly taxes. This could amount to less than a $1 a month according to Rich Buchanan CMO and Tami Bhaumik VP Corporate Marketing.
The company expects to be profitable by the end of the year and they have seen their retail presence grow dramatically from Amazon being their sole distribution source a year ago to 5,000 retail stores today. They are also in 100 Costcos – this started as a trial in only 20 stores. They tell me this relationship has been successful so far.
Telo comes out this Fall and the mobile devices are not required but I suggest them if you want a slick looking phone that can take advantage of data-driven features like sending SMS and assigning MP3-based ringtones. The one downside to these mobile phones is they have black and white screens – but for $50 there is still a solid value here.
HD voice is included as well so you are talking about a high-quality solution with a slick interface.
On a more technical note Telo is powered by Mindspeed Technologies dual core processor running Linux and FreeSWITCH meaning we can see this offering morph (and this was confirmed once again in our meeting) to be a capable SMB solution in the future. Another benefit to using the service is it uses a secure tunnel to communicate with Ooma servers meaning no ISP snooping is possible with DPI or using other means. This sort of solution is the perfect arms race product for consumers in countries where governments use DPI to crack down on VoIP users. And this is happening more and more as DPI companies I speak with tell me about the roster of middle-eastern telcos who are customers.
Buchanan and Bhamik told me their devices are selling nicely to families with relatives outside the US and as a side benefit, relatives living abroad get a US number for domestic friends and family to call.
When we discussed the change in user habits as it comes to landlines Buchanan told me consumers see their service as an IP communications device for the broadband age meaning it is not considered to be a landline but instead a new-age IP-based service.
In addition for features like 911 he says Ooma is preferable to mobile phones where you may be connected to a police officer and have to spend time explaining your exact location in the case of an emergency. This leads to the idea Rich mentioned which is if you have kids you want a landline for safety and again superior 911 service.
Anytime a company is able to break into a saturated industry like consumer voice with a new way of doing things it is impressive to me. Time will tell if a slick interface and hardware design coupled with free phone service makes for the killer device this holiday season but if consumers are still looking for hot-looking products which save them money, Ooma's Telo could be a hit this holiday season.

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The City of Vancouver has approved a new housing strategy. That strategy includes 72,000 homes over the next decade for people who live and work in Vancouver. New co-ops, rental apartments and townhouses are also part of the plan.
NPA Councillor Melissa De Genova says the strategy is vague, adds bureaucracy and doesn't actually address the problems within the market.
"Many of the individuals that we heard from who spoke in support of this, said that they didn't truly support the policy, they just wanted to see some movement in affordable housing, so they would have supported anything."
She says the city should focus on speeding up the approval process so builders can actually add housing to the city.
"Unfortunately, Gregor Robertson and Vision Vancouver would prefer to pretend they are doing something about it than actually roll up their sleeves and really start to make housing affordable."
Robertson is much more optimistic about the plan.
"Our newly approved Housing Vancouver strategy is a bold, forward-thinking plan that was directly informed by what we heard from local residents: we need urgent action now to ramp up not just the supply of housing, but the right kind of supply," says Robertson in a release.
"Housing Vancouver builds on measures the City is already taking that are the first of their kind in Canada-the empty homes tax, temporary modular housing for our most vulnerable residents, and regulating short-term rentals-and includes strategies that go after real estate speculation, offer more protection for renters and will transform single-family neighbourhoods across the city. This comprehensive approach will help us maintain Vancouver's diversity and vibrancy, and create more affordable housing options for young people, growing families, seniors and our most vulnerable residents."
New Housing Vancouver strategy focuses on delivering the 'right' kind of supply. 2000 new co-ops part of the plan https://t.co/rLhhSceRmo
— Gregor Robertson (@MayorGregor) November 30, 2017
De Genova maintains this only appears to be taking action to help.
"In this plan, we are talking about a tactical response team for housing. I found out that would cost $700,000 but they still can't tell me what that team will do. This is a smoke screen."
Here is the presentation that was given to Council.

Audio Gating Basics
Learn step-by-step how to set gates and expanders to reduce noise, drum bleed, and shape transients. Learn when to use a gate and when to use an expander and most importantly, learn how to do it in a way that sounds natural in your mix.

"For me, the C1 is the perfect referee between two competing frequencies like the Moog-bass and kick drum. I use the side-chain to turn down the signal of the Moog based on the bang, punch or amplitude of the kick drum. Without the C1 side-chain functionality, the two low-end frequencies can become sonic enemies."

"This compressor does great soft-knee compression and does wonders as an expander. I use the expansion subtly, like a transient designer, even on the master buss; it really makes tracks jump out of the speakers into your face. Setting the filter with the C1-SC component helps as a corrective tool to soften harsh sounds without muffling the track. Using the gate with different thresholds for opening and closing avoids false triggering; in circuit language, this is called hysteresis and is reminiscent of the Neve V-Series channel gates. That feature, along with setting the sidechain filter, keeps my gate performing as I want it to."
Ross Hogarth
Producer & Engineer
Van Halen, REM, Ziggy Marley, Keb' Mo'
"C1 has different modes that are very easy to use, including a great gate. When used with a sidechain, it's a problem solver, especially for bass. I can find the bass frequency that allows the compressor to not pump on the bass. I can find the frequency with the high-pass filter that allows me to compress the bass and have the low end making the compressor trigger. A real workhorse of a compressor."

"I love using this compressor to pinpoint trouble frequencies that bother me on a vocal."
Rob Swire
Musician, Singer, Songwriter, DJ, Producer
Rihanna, Taio Cruz, Tinie Tempah, Pendulum
"I use the C1 with sidechain on 'split' mode if I just want to control one specific area, and the situation doesn't warrant a full multiband; this is perfect in situations where I'm not too worried about phase coherence."
Recording, Mixing & Mastering Engineer, Performer
"I use C1 compressor often on percussion. It's so simple, and has all the graphic information I need. It's a classic who never gets old. I love it just as much as the C1 Gate component: my all-time trusty noise gate for vocals and backgrounds."
Gil Norton
Foo Fighters, Pixies, Stornoway
"This is an invaluable compressor. I mainly use it on vocals and guitars. It's very transparent, and good for anything that needs fast release compression."
Maurice Brown
Musician, Producer, Composer
Anderson .Paak, Florence and the Machine, LOGIC, Tedeschi Trucks Band
"Works fantastic to smooth out vocals in the mix."
Joey Santiago

"I use C1 when I have an unusually noisy amp or pickup. I start out with the HF Noise Reduction preset and tweak away the noise."
Phil Strong

"I've been using C1 on bass, guitar, and all vocals, including Kanye West's."
Devine Evans

Camila Cabello, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Cardi B
"One of my key components to a successful mix on every song is the Waves C1 sidechain plugin. This simple plugin is one of the fastest ways to both capture clarity and gain control of the vocals. I like to have the plugin set up in Split mode with the EQ type set to Band Reject. I usually then sweep the frequencies between 200hz to 280hz until I find the muddiness in the vocal. Then I gently set my attack, release and threshold parameters and let the magic begin."

Usher in a new dawn for offroad protection with the Venture MIPS Helmet. Ideal for looking and feeling good on the trail, this impressive lid longs for you to negotiate tricky hucks and kickers. Highly breathable, the Venture makes tough terrain easier to tackle and the large air ports work in tandem with the AirEvac ventilation system to keep you cool and focused throughout. Working to wick away moisture, the Venture also welcomes the addition of an ultra-light single layer webbing and XT2 anti-bacterial performance lining, fighting against odors to provide a new-found freshness.
Incredibly durable, the Venture has been crafted with a lightweight in-mold construction and the durable craftmanship impacts on strategic and zonal areas to add strength and confidence to your adventure. Welcoming an aggressive approach due to its impressive ability to protect, Smith have included the addition of MIPS, an innovative technology used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique impact. Providing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner, those forces are absorbed efficiently to keep you safe.
For those that love a touch of variety in their life the Venture MIPS has an integrated visor to deflect roost should your friends be riding out in front.
• MIPS is a Brain Protection System
• Rotational motion can cause brain injuries
• The low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact

|The Prince of Wales, King Manuel II of Portugal, and the Duke of Connaught walk in the 1911 Garter Day procession (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)
"Order of the Garter: Investiture of the Prince of Wales"
(originally appeared in the Marlborough Express on 12 Jun 1911)
LONDON, June 11 -- The ceremony of investing the Prince of Wales [1] with the Order of the Garter took place yesterday. The Knights and officers of the Order assembled in the Waterloo Chamber [2] and thence were summoned to the throne room, where the King and Queen [3], King Manuel [4], the Duke of Connaught [5], Prince Arthur of Connaught [6], and Prince Christian [7] were seated at the head of the table. The scene was one of great beauty and interest.
|Postcard portrait of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor) in his Garter robes following his investiture on June 10, 1911
|King George V and Queen Mary leave St. George's Chapel after the 1911 Garter Day service (Photo: Bain Collection, Library of Congress)
|This postcard features a photo of Queen Mary taken on Garter Day 1911. The caption on the back of the card reads: "H.M. QUEEN MARY wearing the Insignia of the Garter set in diamonds, together with the Brooch which formed part of the Coronation gift of the Marys of the Empire. Photo by D. Knights Whittome at Windsor Castle on June 10, 1911." (Source)
1. King Edward VIII (1894-1972), later the Duke of Windsor. He was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary. His investiture as a Garter knight happened when he was sixteen, a few months after his father became king, and a few weeks before his investiture as Prince of Wales.
2. The Waterloo Chamber is a large room in Windsor Castle decorated with art and objects related to the British defeat of Napoleon's army at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The annual luncheon for the knights and ladies of the Order of the Garter is held in the room every June. (If you visit Windsor Castle, this is one of the rooms you get to see on the tour.)
3. King George V (1865-1936) and Queen Mary (1867-1953) of the United Kingdom. This ceremony was held about two weeks before their coronation. George was made a knight of the Order of the Garter in 1884.
4. King Manuel II of Portugal (1889-1932) became his country's king suddenly in 1908 after the assassination of his father and his elder brother. He was appointed a knight of the Order of the Garter by King Edward VII in November 1909; the following year, the Portuguese monarchy was overthrown, and he spent the rest of his life in exile in England.
5. Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942) was the seventh child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the uncle of King George V. Arthur was made a knight of the Order of the Garter in 1867. A few months after this ceremony, he traveled to Canada to begin serving as that country's Governor-General, a role he held until 1916.
6. Prince Arthur of Connaught (1883-1938) was the son of the Duke of Connaught and a first cousin of King George V. He was also the brother of Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden (and therefore an uncle to Queen Ingrid of Denmark, among others). Arthur was made a Garter knight in 1902. Two years after this ceremony, he married his cousin, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife.
7. Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein (1831-1917) was the husband of Queen Victoria's fifth child, Princess Helena (1846-1923). He was King George V's uncle by marriage. He was made a Garter knight in 1866, the year he and Helena married.
8. John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll (1845-1914) was the husband of Queen Victoria's sixth child, Princess Louise (1848-1939), and therefore was another of George V's uncles by marriage. He was appointed as a Garter knight a few weeks after this ceremony and invested the following year. At the time of the 1911 investiture, he was serving as the Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, hence his involvement in the procession.
9. Reginald Brett, 2nd Viscount Esher (1852-1930) was an aide-de-camp to King Edward VII; he was also the Deputy Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle. In 1928, he became the castle's Governor and Constable.
10. In 1911, the 24 (not 23) Knights of the Order of the Garter were: the 1st Marquess of Abergavenny, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, the 6th Marquess of Londonderry, the 5th Earl of Cadogan, the 2nd Duke of Abercorn, the 5th Earl of Rosebery, the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, the 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, the 6th Duke of Buccleuch & 8th Duke of Queensberry, the 7th Duke of Northumberland, the 9th Earl of Elgin & 15th Earl of Kincardine, the 6th Duke of Portland, the 1st Earl Roberts, the 11th Duke of Bedford, the 9th Duke of Marlborough, the 4th Duke of Wellington, the 4th Duke of Sutherland, the 7th Duke of Richmond & 2nd Duke of Gordon, the 1st Earl Carrington, the 1st Earl (later Marquess) of Crewe, the 5th Marquess of Northampton, the 3rd Earl of Durham, the 2nd Earl of Selborne, and the 4th Earl of Minto (who was also invested during this ceremony). Remember: royal knights are not counted in the number.
11. Not exactly. In The Queen's Houses, Alan Titchmarsh notes that the 1911 Garter Day ceremony was "the first since the reign of George III."
12. A committee of women from around the British Empire who were named "Mary" banded together to raise money to buy Queen Mary a coronation gift. (Another group of "Marys of the Empire" gave her daughter, Princess Mary, a wedding gift in 1922.) Part of the committee's gift included jeweled pieces of insignia of the Order of the Garter, including the diamond star, the badge, the garter (worn on the arm), and a brooch used to secure the order sash.

Ain't that Bearcat something! He doesn't even need a villain to tackle, he's his own worst enemy! 😉
Well, the bright side of this is: A) It's dark and most likely no one saw him, unless of course they heard him scream. B) Better to test the new modifications this way rather than against a real threat, like what's coming in another page or so. C) Live and learn! After a mistake of this magnitude, Emanuel is sure not to pull another bonehead stunt like this…maybe.
Hey! We promised you this was going to be a little offbeat and we're only halfway through the tale! Stay tuned, it get's more offbeat yet!

A woman convicted in 2011 of killing her husband has died in prison by suicide, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections confirmed Tuesday.
Amber Hilberling, 25, hung herself in her cell at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in McLoud, reported the Tulsa news source NewsOn6. Hilberling was convicted of pushing her husband, Joshua, through the window of their 25th-floor apartment, on June 7 2011.
At the time, Hilberling said her husband was abusive and it was an act of self-defense, but prosecutors told the jury that the evidence did not support this claim. After three hours of deliberation, she was sentenced to 25 years in prison and given a $10,000 fine. She turned down a plea deal that would have reduced her time in prison to just five years.
"We heard that Amber Hilberling hung herself in prison this evening. We know how it feels to lose a child. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's something no parent should have to experience. Condolences to those who loved her," posted a Facebook page dedicated to her late husband, called 'In Loving Memory of Joshua Hilberling'.

Even as we're seeing real crises develop around the world, The Beltway Pundit Class continues to obsess over the manufactured crisis that's ripping the Republican Party apart while causing jitters among economists. As we've discussed here many times before, it doesn't have to be this way. Yet for some reason, Congressional Republicans keep pushing us to the brink.
Last night, Desert Beacon had to debunk the spin coming from Rep. Mark Amodei's (R-Drama) office regarding his vote for fiscal insani-TEA. Of course, he claims he just helped the House "do its job". If he defines "do its job" as cause unnecessary drama, then he may be right. Funny enough, Rep. Amodei was the one claiming he was "tired of the drama" earlier this year.
This actually isn't the only fit of drama coming from Nevada Republicans. Over the weekend, Rep. Joe Heck's (R-TEA Curious) office sent a letter to constituents who asked about his vote to force millions of Americans to starve. Since July, he and other House Republicans have been on a mission to slash and burn the SNAP program that provides a critical lifeline to millions of food insecure Americans and our nation's economy. And once again, Rep. Heck is claiming his vote was to "reform" SNAP. He even claimed the bill provides $333 million more for soup kitchens!
OK, so what's so bad about that? Can't those pesky poor people go to soup kitchens? Nope, since soup kitchens and other private charities are already stretched beyond capacity due to post-Great Recession poverty and unemployment. An extra $333 million over ten years, or less than $670,000 per state per year, won't nearly be enough to take care of this. After all, House Republicans voted to slash $40 billion (!!!) from SNAP and throw them to already overextended private charities.
Rep. Heck also cited "fraud" as a reason to vote to gut SNAP, but the "fraud" claims he and other House Republicans cite have already been debunked. So why do they keep threatening the lives of so many Americans? Maybe Paul Krugman can explain.
[... L]ast year, average food stamp benefits were $4.45 a day. Also, about those "able-bodied people": almost two-thirds of SNAP beneficiaries are children, the elderly or the disabled, and most of the rest are adults with children.
Beyond that, however, you might think that ensuring adequate nutrition for children, which is a large part of what SNAP does, actually makes it less, not more likely that those children will be poor and need public assistance when they grow up. And that's what the evidence shows. The economists Hilary Hoynes and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach have studied the impact of the food stamp program in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was gradually rolled out across the country. They found that children who received early assistance grew up, on average, to be healthier and more productive adults than those who didn't — and they were also, it turns out, less likely to turn to the safety net for help.
SNAP, in short, is public policy at its best. It not only helps those in need; it helps them help themselves. And it has done yeoman work in the economic crisis, mitigating suffering and protecting jobs at a time when all too many policy makers seem determined to do the opposite. So it tells you something that conservatives have singled out this of all programs for special ire.
Even some conservative pundits worry that the war on food stamps, especially combined with the vote to increase farm subsidies, is bad for the G.O.P., because it makes Republicans look like meanspirited class warriors. Indeed it does. And that's because they are.
And even worse, Reps. Heck & Amodei have been voting to continue subsidies for several of their House Republican colleagues. So "welfare" is good for Republicans with "family farms", but not for poor people in actual need?
To make matters even worse, the House G-O-TEA budget plan offers even more painful austerity. It denies chemotherapy to cancer patients, preschool to children, housing to families, and help to domestic violence victims. Oh, and did I mention it (further) threatens economic recovery?
So now, we must ask this: Why are Joe Heck, Mark Amodei, and other House Republicans threatening the lives of so many Americans? And why do they persist in pursuing the same old economy busting austerity policies? Their prescription for economic ruin makes no sense.

Mumbo Jumbo
Mumbo Jumbo is a sumptuously photographed fairy tale of contemporary culture in the classic tradition of Gulliver and Alice in Wonderland.
Meet Thomas Doubting, a total loser. He can't sell his songs. He can't get a job. He's been evicted. His girlfriend dumped him. Even his dog ran away. With nothing left to live for, he decides to end it all, but he can't even do that right. In the process, he meets a mysterious old fellow who gives him a magic amulet, as if that's going to help. But then Thomas notices a headline in a newspaper the guy leaves behind - a large reward is being offered for the return of the beautiful Princess Vanilla to the land of Sinmouth. So it's off to Sinmouth in search of the Princess and his fortune.
Once there he meets a cast of Oz-like characters who believe Thomas is the next 'Mumbo Jumbo', a mythological Sprite from the sixth century who's been summoned to free them from the tyranny of an evil businessman, Mr Bounder. Bounder has kidnapped many of Sinmouth's villagers, ruined the town, and imprisoned the Princess herself. His intent is to build a financial empire on organic, high-yield fertiliser made from the remains of his fellow villagers. Thomas's work is cut out for him as he muddles and stumbles his way through the magic land on his quest to save the Princess and the world - or at least a mythological part of it.
