Good Go(o)ds by Marta Monge, Giulia Liverani, Fabrizio Garda, Marco Signoretto.
Good Go(o)ds are home protectors which exploit religious attitudes in the connected home. As "connectedness" is due to become a more mundane feature of our homes, we will perceive domestic life differently as we reply on this continuous dialogue between ourselves and a range digitally-enabled devices. Good go(o)ds challenges the notion of "smartness" beyond the modern dream of a streamlined, effortless life made possible by a series of little talkative e-butlers. It ironically explores the potential for a different interaction between human and machine. It rethinks the services provided by the connected home as favours granted by household spirits, entities looking after it in exchange for respects being paid by its inhabitants. It replaces the obsession with efficiency – embodied by apps and touch screens – with slower, more tangible, physically engaging interactions with totemic entities, regulating respectively the home environment (light and temperature), household safety and data privacy."

Libertines have recorded a cover of THE SMALL FACES' 'LAZY SUNDAY' for a new film.
The group went into a London studio earlier this month to record the track, which will feature on the soundtrack to 'Black Ball' later this year. Apart from the name of the film, details of the project remain sketchy.
The original song features on the mod band's late '60s psychedelic classic 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake', and is said to be a favourite of the band.
A Libertines insider told NME.COM: "The group think it embodies the spirit of London in the summer – the scamps and the dreamers all converging for a snooze after a lunchtime of drinks."
Libertines are currently on tour in Japan, from where Pete Doherty has been writing an online diary.
"Most of our gigs out here start at 7pm or so, which is odd." he wrote. "Last time around we were playing 25 minutes to bawdy festival crowds, this time round we're storming through an hour or so to crowds echoing devotion not experienced here since a popular American hip-hop act last year."
A brand new single from the band is scheduled for July, and they will play at this year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals in August.

Here's a saucy, creamy pasta dish without a lick of cream or milk and only a wee bit of cheese. The trick is to cook the pasta like risotto, which releases starch into the liquid that becomes the sauce. The toasting step adds nutty, rich character and is a step we don't advise skipping.
How to Make It
Bring stock to a simmer in a saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pasta; cook 5 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently. Remove pasta from pan.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and sausage to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove sausage mixture from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Return pasta to pan. Add stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of stock is nearly absorbed before adding the next (about 35 minutes total), stirring frequently. Stir in sausage mixture, juice, chiles, salt, and cheese. Garnish with oregano, if desired.
Skillet-Toasted Penne with Bacon and Spinach: Follow steps 1 and Substitute 4 chopped center-cut bacon slices for the sausage, and 1/2 cup sliced shallots and 8 sliced garlic cloves for the onion. Substitute 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind for the 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Substitute 6 ounces baby spinach for the chiles. Serves 4 (serving size: 1 cup) Calories 394; Fat 8g (sat 1g); Sodium 601mg

Dog Shoots Owner
Dog Shoots Owner During Hunting Trip
CNN released this article:
Utah hunter shot by his dog.
The incident happened over the weekend during a duck-hunting in the Great Salt Lake near a bird refuge outside Brigham City, (Utah?) One of the men, a 46-year-old from Brigham City, got out of his boat and laid his 12-gauge shotgun across the bow of the vessel.
"The dog got excited, was jumping around inside the boat and then it jumped on the gun. It went off, shooting the (man) in the buttocks," Box Elder County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin Potter told the Salt Lake City Tribune.
The man was apparently setting up decoys when the gun went off, said Potter. The man is expected to recover.
Malik "Kill-Em Ladin" Hasan
Malik "Kill-Em Ladin" Hasan
Malik Nidal Hasan was the name of the shooter at Ft. Hood today. Has anyone else noticed the first two names are Kilam ("kill-em") Ladin backwards? Was this some sort of veiled message?
Fox just confirmed yesterday that Hasan was a convert to Islam- which means he may have changed and/or perhaps picked his Islamic name. Yet, Fox interviewed Malik's brother who had the same last name. (If he did convert and change his name) I find it hard to believe that Hasan, being a psychiatrist, would not put much thought into its meaning.
Let us also remember that November 5 is also the date of another historical/attempted assassination.
Though I can't imagine how, I would not be surprised to learn that the date as well as the shooter's name is significant.

Close your eyes and picture a silly whale diving into a purple jar, then popping up and squirting out grape jello, or swimming through shampoo and blowing bubbles out of its spout. You look into a golden sea and find a whale swimming while squirting string cheese into the air.
It's not the usual water spray that comes out of a whale's spout in the ocean. It's wild, weird, and wonder-full stuff. If a silly whale is swimming in a lot of desserts, it'll shoot chocolate syrup. Or it could be swimming in purple Jello, or in black ink. Maybe it will be swimming in yellow cheese and spout string cheese. Or maybe swimming in shampoo and shooting out bubbles. In the end Ms. Ozmore suggests that the reader could imagine things that the whale could swim in and shoot strange things out of its spout. Eugene Ruble's artwork is over the top, completely silly, colorful, wild and crazy. Kids will find a lot of silly things to point out and talk about. The author's suggestion at the end offers kids a fun interactive outlet for their rich imaginations.

The local HUD certified non-profit known as Memphis housing authority (MHA) can help struggling tenants, the homeless, and homeowners in the city and Shelby. Several services are available, and they will include subsidies from housing choice vouchers as well as referrals to emergency grants for eviction prevention. Homeowners from across Memphis can also benefit from assistance from the non-profit, as they arrange low cost or free foreclosure counseling as well.
The homeless may be referred to emergency shelters, especially during the colder winter months or warmer summer period. Clients of the agency may then graduate into transitional housing, and this is more mid term solution that will not only provide housing but other guidance and support.
There are transitional housing programs for veterans, single parents with children, and the elderly in Memphis. Each type of program will focus on meeting a certain need, and the non-profit and its staff will do their best to address the root cause of the crisis impacting the family as well.
Public Housing and low income apartments are also located in Shelby County. There are dozens of apartments, homes, and other units in the region that allow very low income and formerly homeless people to live in them. The homes are sometimes rented to Memphis low-income families under the Public Housing Low Rent Assistance Program, so the monthly rental costs will be much lower than a typical home. There is a waiting list and restrictions on these though.
There are programs that rely on federal government resources, such as Emergency Solution Grant, or state of Tennessee funds. As resources allow, there may be help for low income and working poor households, and each service is customized to try to needs of the local community.
ESG, which Memphis housing authority has information on, provides emergency funding for programs for those who are homeless or at-risk of eviction. It also provides help to people facing foreclosure. These grants may provide assistance toward security deposits, first month's rent, a partial mortgage payment or past-due rent. It is often combined with mediation and other guidance for tenants and homeowners.
Both Rent and Utility Delinquency is arranged through cash grants or loan funds. Other services will include mediation with landlord, money/debt management, payment plans with power companies, and ongoing supportive counseling services. This is another form of support from Memphis housing authority that can help with financial challenges.
Section 8 is run in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This allows senior citizens as well as very low income families and individuals to receive rental assistance for an approved home or apartment in the private sector. All units will need to be inspected by Housing Authority staff to assure that they are meet federal government housing quality standards.
In order to receive a voucher, which normally has a waiting list, households must meet income guidelines set by the federal government. There are also restrictions on age and other conditions in place. When applying to section 8 from the Memphis housing authority, all income is included such as social security, wages, public assistance, disability, and more.
Counseling coordinates a full range of support to tenants and homeowners. Each is designed to assist them in resolving their housing-related issues, whether it is delinquent rent or maybe an expensive mortgage. Another goal of staff from Memphis housing authority is to help people understand the responsibilities of tenancy and/or homeownership.
Memphis housing authority (MHA) clients work with HUD certified housing counselors to design an action plan to solve the problem at hand as well as thoroughly review the situation. As part of this process, counselors from the agency give individuals all options that may be available to them, ranging from moving to counseling or applying for financial aid. Some of the counseling available is free Foreclosure Prevention Workshops as well as landlord and tenant mediation among others.
FSS Family Self-Sufficiency is often part of this counseling process as well. This was designed to assist low-income families in both breaking the cycle of homelessness as well as dependency on public assistance programs. The client will need to, among other things, develop a personalized savings and development plan for each member of the household.
All resources limited, and the office is at 700 Adams Avenue in the city of Memphis. As noted, most of the housing programs will have a waiting list in place.

FFA Cup title-holders Melbourne Victory will find Hume City to be a much tougher proposition on their home ground, according to winger Theo Markelis.
Last year, Victory qualified for the FFA Cup final with a 3-0 win over Hume at AAMI Park with the NPL Victoria club's home ground ABD Stadium being rejected as a possible venue.
While Hume gave a decent account of themselves, Victory eventually cruised into the tournament's decider with late goals from Kosta Barbarouses and Jason Geria following Besart Berisha's first-half penalty.
Football Federation Australia has accepted ABD Stadium for this year's Round of 16 tie and Markelis reckons Hume will have a greater shot at advancing on Wednesday thanks to genuine home ground advantage.
"In all honesty, I think it does make a difference because prior to the semi-final in the FFA Cup last year we had played them at our ground in a friendly game and they had basically their full squad playing as well, and we nearly beat them," Markelis told Goal Australia.
"We lost 4-3 in the end. We're strong at our ground."
Hume have notched 10 wins, one draw and one loss at home in NPL Victoria so far this season, while Markelis and Co. are on an 11-game winning streak in all competitions at ABD Stadium this year, including their penalty shootout triumph against Marconi in the FFA Cup Round of 32.
Markelis reckons opponents struggle with the size of the pitch in Melbourne's north.
"We've got probably one of the biggest grounds in Victoria… we play good on that big ground and that's the style of football we play - always keeping the ball and having a big ground is always to our advantage," the 24-year-old said.

Our nation is transitioning toward the biggest federal government infiltration into our lives since the New Deal, as a society how did we ever return to this archaic juncture of dependency? I believe it has not been the result of the masses but rather the self-centered agendas of powerful corporate, financial, media, and political leaders; and we have certainly witnessed the destructive aftermath of their wrath of greed and power. I have wondered how an individual like a Bernie Madoff can sleep at night knowing the acquiring of his yacht and other riches were the result of destroying people's financial lives through the use of his deceitful and dishonorable behavior. As a society, have we lost an understanding of what it means to be honorable? Honor is defined as, "personal integrity maintained without legal or other obligation.", "nobility of mind; probity". Let us imagine a society where all individuals and leaders maintain honor without allowing outside influence, power and greed to compromise their ability to make a decision for the greater good; a society where we all had "nobility of mind". What an amazing world it would be.
My Alma Mater is the United
States Military Academy at West Point, where I was a graduate in 1980. The
Academy's motto is "Duty, Honor, Country" with a strict honor code that states,
"A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do." This honor code
is instilled in every cadet, and agreed to in writing from the moment they
enter. During my sophomore year, I was dealt a personal challenge that tested
friendship against adherence to the honor code. My roommate and I had the same
deadline for the submission of a research paper. We were both engaged in the
same course, but we each had a different professor. Although I had finished my
research, I did not initiate the writing of my paper until the night before the
paper was due.
Coincidently my roommate had not begun the writing of his paper either. The difference between us that night was I completed the writing of my paper that evening whereas my roommate decided to "hit the sack" without writing anything. The following morning we both, to my surprise, submitted our assignments. A week had gone by before our research papers were returned to us. Upon seeing my roommate's graded paper on his desk, I noticed the paper I was observing looked almost identical in content, sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary to my paper. My roommate had awakened after I had gone to bed that particular evening and copied my paper.
What do I do? What would you do? I did not lie, cheat or steal, but if I do not report my roommate I am in violation of the honor code for tolerating his cheating. Do I choose my roommate, or the honor code? Would a true friend put me in this position? Could I graduate with a good conscience knowing I had violated the honor code by tolerating someone else's violation? These are a few questions I conjured up and struggled with. I confronted him several times in an attempt to convince him to turn himself in, but to no avail. After pondering the questions and deciphering many internal deliberations, the final decision I made was to report the incident. As a result, there was a formal investigation, honor hearing, and the dismissal of my roommate from the Academy for violating the honor code. I made a commitment to abide by a code of honor that embodies an institution I decided to belong to. What would it say about me as a future leader, parent or citizen if I had violated the very code that I agreed to uphold?
I share this experience with you, so everyone reading this will entertain the idea of discussing with others, and your children, what it means to be honorable. I have no expectation that everyone would make the same decision I made, but I do have the expectation that everyone will ask themselves, "what does it mean to be honorable?" and ask yourself "am I living an honorable life?" If as a society it becomes acceptable for excuses to be made for one's dishonorable behavior, and no need for individual accountability, there will no longer be any need to live honorably. To know thyself as a person with honor, is to be known by others as a person of honor.
What does it mean to be mannerly?
Manners are defined in the "New Oxford American Dictionary" as "polite or
well-bred social behavior", and polite is defined as "having or showing
behavior that is respectful and considerate of other people." As a society have
we lost an understanding of the important significance in being mannerly towards
one another? Are we too self-centered or self-absorbed with our own agendas
that we carelessly disregard our behavior towards others? What mannerly path
are our youth on, and what is the exemplifying trend that we as parents and
adults display to our young? There is a persuasive thought that we may have
lost the societal battle in creating a citizenry that is mutually respectful
and considerate. I believe the battle is not lost, and it is time for all of us
to initiate a resurgence in reinforcing the manners that we expect from our
children and one another.
It was not long ago in my local mall, where I witnessed a young boy being disciplined by his mother in which the boy turned away from his mother, lifted his arm, directed it towards her with his palm open, and stated, "talk to the hand". Upon hearing the exchange, I reacted like Kramer walking through the door into Seinfeld's apartment, with that bodily twitching motion, and stunned surprise. Subsequently, to my chagrin, the mother dismissed the behavior as it being the norm, and not worth committing any effort in correcting the behavior. I will share with all of you if either of my children had ever told me to "talk to the hand" they would have been escorted out of the mall by me, taken home and disciplined, resulting in a considerable loss of privileges.
The common courtesies of "thank
you", "please" and "your welcome" should never be neglected. Small acts of
kindness such as opening a door for someone, or the chivalrous behaviors we as
men used to do for women should not be forgotten. Whether it be pulling out a
chair to assist in the sitting process, or stand up when ladies excuse
themselves from the table. You may
think that is old fashioned, out of date, and not necessary, but how nice it
feels to be treated with a degree of respect and politeness, and how
appreciated it is. You don't think a few relationship bonus points aren't being
accumulated when you display courtesies? The fact is being polite and
displaying manners is the right thing to do. Whether someone responds or not is
irrelevant but it should not deter us from continuing to set the appropriate
Additionally, there have been many instances where I do not turn a blind eye to disrespect, and have corrected inappropriate responses from young people and even adults; and informed them their disrespect and lack of manners are not acceptable. Whether my corrective behavior is adhered to or not, at least others will know where I stand, and what is expected in regard to being mannerly.
Manners also pertain to a very important aspect in initiating a relationship with others both personally and professionally. The old cliché that an individual only has one chance to make a good first impression is as important and truthful today as it ever was. That first impression is key in establishing a positive rapport with others. For example, an initial interview for potential employment, and the acquiring of that employment will be significantly influenced by the manners displayed by the interviewee. In addition, how one communicates effectively is also congruent with portraying mannerly behavior. Answering yes, instead of yeah, articulating your thoughts without every other word being ah, like, um, you know, etc, has a huge impact in how that person is perceived. As a member of my local Congressional District Service Academy Selection Committee, the interview process of perspective candidates provides a clear illustration of the impact manners, courtesy, and respectful communication has on the board's impression of those candidates. Let us all take the time to be more cognizant of how mannerly, or not mannerly we are to one another, and the example we set for our children. Our little darlings are not always so darling, and educating them in understanding the important role of manners, and holding them accountable, should not be diminished by societal acceptance of behaviors that are disrespectful towards others.

Shortly after I announced my campaign for re-election, the Centrist Project called me for an interview, which focused on my leadership of Manitou Springs. As an unaffiliated representative of the community, our goals have been clear. We discussed Council's accomplishments and upcoming goals for the future when re-elected.
Neither my campaign nor I have received a direct contribution from any organization. As a candidate, it is outside of my control how a group of this type chooses to participate. The rules are very clear; groups can do as they please in support of a candidate. The law also states that I am not allowed to have anything to do with their decisions or communications, and I have followed this law.
The question at the forum was, "What do they (Centrist Project) want in return?" According to their website they are interested in fair and balanced non-partisan government. I am not affiliated with any political party.
The people of Manitou Springs want good government and my leadership has accomplished this. For example, the community asked for leadership on issues around panhandling, illegal camping, and Incline impacts. I've led the way on these issues. It's about responding to all people's needs.
The second question at the forum was about campaign finance reporting laws. Manitou Springs follows the secretary of state's campaign finance laws and I support strong transparency in campaign finance reporting.
This organization has nothing to do with our community as a whole. We are strong, independent-minded and united to move Manitou Springs forward. I urge everyone to move away from the political rhetoric and instead focus on our shared community goals with respect for our future.
— Mayor Nicole Nicoletta, Manitou Springs

This could be a very tricky thing to do….balancing your life. So what is balance? The dictionary states that balance is "the equal distribution" of things. Okay, I paraphrased….but I think you get what I'm saying.
Let's look at typical human beans (this is how I spell us). Okay, Jane and Joe both have a job, they have an apartment, Jane belongs to 3 clubs, Joe….bowls twice a week. On Sunday they attend church and have dinner with one or the other's families. They take turns. Now, Jane only likes attending 2 meetings of the 3 clubs she belongs to, but she won't give up the third because all the uber rich and amazing ladies are in that club. Joe likes to bowl, but once a week is more than plenty for him. He bowls twice a week because his boss is on the second team with him and he wants to appear like a "good company" man. Jane and Joe both like the idea of church but, they attend one that is…wait for it……..uber cool. All the supposedly rich and cool folks go there and Joe and Jane want to be uber everything. Now just 2 miles away from their home is a church they have attended 3 times. It is far from uber…..except in the God department. The pastor is wonderful and offers sermons that Joe and Jane actually talked about the entire week after and they actually did things that the pastor suggested to do and they loved it. They find going to dinner at each others families homes is nice, but doing it every single Sunday has become a bother. They love their families, but they would really like to be at home on Sunday just to relax, talk, take a nap, and get ready for the week. They have what seems like a balanced life right? Well they don't.
Jane sees her close friends very seldom, she doesn't have time to go to Yoga (which she absolutely loves), she and Joe don't take walks or bike rides anymore and that causes her to feel sad. Jane loves to cook, but with her job, the meetings, bowling, laundry, cleaning, returning phone calls and answering emails, there is NO time for any of that. They have take-out almost every night for dinner. Jane and Joe have unequaled themselves right out of life. Can you imagine if they had a child?
So let's sit down with Joe and Jane and see what we can do to help them find balance. They are both willing and more than open to not being "uber". So, that means Jane could give up that club she doesn't really care for. Joe likes his job, but he won't get fired if he stops bowling with his boss. That frees up another night. They decide that if they work together, they can clean the apartment, do the laundry all at once and be done with it. They realize it can even be fun and gives them time to talk with each other. As they looked at their schedules they decide they will each call their parents and let them know that they will only be having dinner with them once a month. Guess what happened when they did that? Both their mothers thanked them, because they were long past tired of cooking big meals every other Sunday.
Here is the life of Jane and Joe now. Jane is able to cook and bake 4 – 5 times a week. She got back into her Yoga class and sees her close friends afterward at a cafe nearby. Joe cleaned up their bikes and bought new wheels and they ride together once a week. Weather permitting they take a walk nearly every night. Joe only bowls one evening a week now, so in place of bowling the other evening he either reads, watches television with Jane, or messes around with things that need to be fixed in their apartment. He loves fixing things. They have now even switched churches. Instead of driving 17 miles one way to the "uber" church, they drive 2 miles to the church where they receive wonderful, uplifting and encouraging things to ponder and grow with.
Everyone needs the following to have a balanced life….if you work you work (and if you are a stay at home mom/dad you are working), then you need to have "Me Time." This is time to just be. You need "Social Time". This is when you meet with a friend or two and do whatever you decide to do. You need to schedule time for taking care of the place where you live and your clothing as well as time to pay bills, return calls and answer mail.
The one thing that will totally mess you up is giving up your "Me Time." If you aren't okay, I sadly promise you that everything around you will be messed up including your own health.

Get Your Gear in Order
Many tour companies offer what's known as "supported tour" adventure cycling packages that only require you to bring your body and your bike -- everything else, like catered meals, overnight hotel stops, and support vans ("sag wagons") -- are either included or optional for riders.
If you prefer a more independent adventure, however, you'll want to take care of those things yourself. Think of the experience as backpacking on a bicycle. Some standard equipment includes these items:
- Camping tent and ground cover
- Sleeping bag and ground pad
- Camp stove and basic utensils
- Panniers (storage bags that straddle one or both wheels)
- Front and rear wheel-mounted storage racks
- Equipment trailer (optional)
- Season- and region-appropriate clothing
- Bike repair parts and tools
- Navigational equipment (maps, GPS, bike computer, etc.)
- Water bottle cage and bottle(s)
- Snacks, instant soups, water purification pills
- Environmentally friendly toilet paper
- Bike lock
New products are coming out all the time to make riding safer, more convenient and fun for cyclists, so check enthusiast sites, forums, and bike blogs for reviews of specific brands and products. Before you spend a lot of money on what could become an expensive paperweight or coat rack, check out the amazing bargains available online. Ebay and Craigslist, not to mention deals from members of local cycling groups, can save you tons of money.

�One out of four Americans can�t name Abraham Lincoln�s assassin!� according to the �60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll� in the November issue of Vanity Fair.
This really means people aren�t paying attention.
After all, Fox�s Bill O�Reilly is still number four on the best-seller list for nonfiction with his and Martin Dugard�s work �Killing Lincoln.�
Now, O�Reilly � whom I�ve known since he was a pup � has another hit out titled �Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot.� Can you name the assassin in that one? (Well, it�s more problematical as to who was actually to blame.)
I�ve written before that the way to get rich these days is to do something with food, open a hot caf�, become a chef, or get expert with a frying pan on TV. The other way is to invent something absolutely essential for working the Internet. The other way is to become an overnight rock/country star, even though the general public doesn�t quite get your name, and the last sure-fire route is to become a starry fashionista, work for one or to design stuff. (General interest writers, these days, are a dime a dozen unless they can get on TV as pontificators, prognosticators and specialists.)
So, I was delighted when my phone rang and it was Alex Hitz who I had given up to Los Angeles for good. The socially adept Mr. H is the man who keeps a portrait of the late, best-dressed Nan Kempner in his Beverly Hills living room.
Alex used to give Manhattan dinner parties in restaurants where he brought along the old family silver service. Now, Alex says he is using his Beverly Hills kitchen more than the living room, and I�ll bet Nan is lonely in there.
As you know, if you�ve been keeping up, Alex has written a handsome book titled �My Beverly Hills Kitchen: Classic Southern Cooking with a French Twist.�
And all along I thought Alex could only open jars of caviar or pop open champagne, and I believed he�d never dirtied so much as a pinky with a potato peeling. But his book tells you step-by-step how to create 175 yummy recipes.
If you have a lot of great photos, or can get someone like Harry Benson or Bruce Weber to take some for you, you too can write a book about cooking, or maybe you could branch out and talk about mending sails or improving one�s sex life. In Alex�s case, he needed a Beverly Hills house where he could �get down� and recall his Deep South roots.

"We selected Brewers Marketing because they have already successfully launched mobile applications in NY state, Ohio, Nevada, California and Washington, and come highly recommended by their state's executive directors. We are very excited to move forward on this."
We have built custom mobile apps for some of the top craft
brewers associations in the country
Brewers listings that are created by participating brewers will all appear in the association app. This displays as a list, is searchable and can also be viewed on a map. Each brewer listed can be "clicked" to display the full page listing of that brewer.
Beer directory displays all of the beer listings created by the participating brewer's portals. This displays as a list with a logo of each beer if provided. It can be searched and filtered by beer style. Each beer listed can be "clicked' to display the details for that beer.
Passport programs are a convenient mechanism for meaningful differentiation. Whether you use them to say thank you for a purchase or reward your customer for just stopping by, it's a good way to build customer loyalty. Brewers Marketing makes it easy to manage your program.
- Passports

This feature was developed for participating locations in local & rural locations to encourage visitors to support these businesses. Flexible incentives like this are only practical with an App. Of consumers that join loyalty programs, 90% feel they have gained value from them.
Guilds/Associations can keep their users up-to date with event listings. These are managed in the Associations portal. Each event has a details page so users know where to go and when. You can also display a roll-up of brewer events as well.
Using your customer profile you can keep track of the beers you liked during the event with items, such as, my beers, my breweries and wish list. You can save this list if you are trying new styles and breweries so you can remember for future opportunities, as well as sharing the experience with your social media audience and friends.
Know exactly how your marketing is doing with just a quick glance. Analytics from all of your customer engagements can be seen right in our dashboard. From how many customers downloaded your app and where they're located, to how many times they have visited. The Brewers Marketing platform also includes a dashboard to manage all of your customer contacts, see who has signed up for your loyalty program, answer any "Contact Us" requests, and reply to other communications that you may add to your custom app.
Anyone with our app can point their phone at one of your coasters, or perhaps a beer bottle, and they'll see animated videos interacting with those real life objects. It's – like the name says – reality, only better.
- Identify beers with image recognition on labels
- See ratings and review from other beer drinkers
- Add it to your wishlist so you never forget your new favorite
- Read about the story behind the beer and all its stats
- See where you can drink this beer in your local area
Each Brewer will have access to their own portal to manage their own content. These include brewery location listings, available beers, events and news and other content that is available in the association app.
Using our Wishlist feature you can save beers you are interested in trying so you can ask for them on your next visit to your favorite brewery. Also, you can add beers you like to your Favorites simply by clicking the heart icon next to every beer displaying in your app. You can access both lists by going to the "My Stuff" tab at the bottom of the screen.
You can integrate our custom mobile apps with ticket sales functionality for your brewery's events and festivals. This is a great way to encourage existing customers and craft beer enthusiasts to attend events where your beers will be sold, not to mention it is an opportunity for extra income to your brewery.

As many of our plants ease into their bare winter looks, a little glow of green stands out amongst the greys and bronzes – The beautiful Portwine Magnolia.
Unlike other members of the Magnolicae family, the Michelia Figo is an evergreen and offers glossy leaves all year around. With warm weather, anticipate the beautiful flowers that give it it's name – A purple-red bloom with a strong heady fragrance. For designs requiring more height, 'White Caviar', the hybrid cross of the popular Yunnanensis Magnolia and Michelia Figo, is a narrower option offering the same heady fragrance from a creamy white flower.
What truly makes the Michelia Figo stand out is it's versatility for design. The figo makes for a beautiful compact stand alone shrub, can be potted and shaped, but we especially like it for the beautiful hedge it creates. With it's large, brilliant leaves, you can anticipate a hedge that adds vibrance to your landscape no matter what time of year. 'White Caviar' can also offer a more interesting screening option.
We currently have stunning Michelia Figos available in three sizes (30cm 40cm and 50cm), so swing by the Farm to experience in person the impact of these gorgeous plants, and how you can use them in your next project.

[Verse 1: Metropolis]
Friday night, street's packed
Headed out, no plans to reach back
Thoughts of a tongue tied, meet with yads
Hold up to the sunrise, breach the flat
Call the mandem like "Where you at?"
Cross the tracks, we ain't afraid of that
We are spraying tags, we done drained the yat
Got a buzz cause a man found gates to crash
We green light, wave flag
Out of the flash like we race drag
Blow thick smoke out a chain of fags
Can be sipping on shots till I faint and gag
I'mma raid the bar when she serving them
Pass out the bottle, can we merk the ten?
Heads swimming hard in a swirl of Gin
Wake up in a daze that can work again
[Verse 2: Orifice Vulgatron]
Goon bags, loose yats
Run up in your flats with your goose flats
That new crack, just swagger
Crewboard looking like lil' blaggers
Bellboy, no looks
Flipped on the fifth of those gold manors
Name ain't written in no books
We ain't leaving till hoes bladdered
Wise living, loose world
Lifestyle brimming with loose girls
Live women, choose swerve
Mans all peeking on two thirds
Three Q's, one milli
G dubs speaking like hillbillies
Still illy, fuck father
Your bitch calling me godfather
[Hook: Metropolis x4]
Put it, in a
Bag, zip it
Shut it, get that
Paper, moving
[Interlude x2]
(We bring goon bags, brother we gon' do blags
Got that true swag, everything with new tags)
[Verse 3: Orifice Vulgatron]
This be that, new shit
Old dog flipping new tricks
Out here living like two hicks
Chicks all skinny like toothpicks
Camera's on, it don't prove shit
Crack it on and you'll choose dick
Dash it on and you'll move with
Tag along and you'll get used quick
Tag along and get moved on
Move along or get moved to
I ain't out here trying to make a friend
So say your piece so I'mma school through
New school? Fuck a plan
I'mma move on so fuck a fight
Man like us stay out of sight, out of mind
Plus, I'm out tonight
[Verse 4: Metropolis]
Hangover, hurt like my head's crushed by a Land Rover
So I go for the boot till a man sober
I'm in the zone, I sip petrone, I hit the drone
Smoke spliffs alone, won't shift
In a paranoid fit at home, lets stick the phone
They call in the blonde, fix my tone
I might drift the void till my liver's blown
My kidneys shrunk and my heart's a mess
Five parts the tar, five parts the stress
Surf the fine line, patrol the edge
Scrape the foot of my sofa dreads
I hit rock bottom and give to death
Chain smoking rest there's nothing left
Till I fuck my breath, turn tucks for death
Six feet deep, laid to rest
[Interlude x2]
(We bring goon bags, brother we gon' do blags
Got that true swag, everything with new tags)

We love this image by Renderosity artist bakapo. There's a painterly feel to the image. One could imagine the image being painted by a Northern European artist at the height of the Romantic era. Beyond that though is a wonderful depiction of place. The mist in the mist in the background and the gusting wind give a real feel for a cold, forest environment. The central character is also beautifully wrought. Her enigmatic expression makes here mysterious and focuses the viewer's attention to her. The depiction of depth in the image adds to the realism of the scene.
Most of all, Winter Wind suggests a story behind the image. I could easily see this image on the cover of a new fantasy series.
Please visit bakapo's gallery at Renderosity.com. This talented artist has many more beautiful images you can enjoy.

How to leverage technology to simplify retirement administration
With approximately 65,000 clients and $55 billion in assets under administration, ADP is one of the largest and fastest-growing defined contribution plan recordkeepers. Employee Benefit News recently spoke to Joe DeSilva, senior vice president and general manager of ADP Retirement Services, to discuss industry trends and ADP's approach to the market. Highlights of that conversation follow.
Employee Benefit News: What are the top priorities of the plan sponsor that you're working with today, and have they changed in recent years?
Joe DeSilva: First, it's about attracting and retaining talented employees, and helping them to retire at a desired age with sufficient income. Two would be getting the right balance in the plan investments. And the third would certainly be around plan fees. I'd say they have been the same priorities for at least the last five years.
EBN: How do you help address sponsors' focus on fees?
DeSilva: As a recordkeeper, we've always been fund-agnostic; we don't care where you put your money. But the focus on fees and Department of Labor fee disclosure regulations have made more low-fee and zero-revenue-sharing funds available.
EBN: When and why did a payroll systems company like ADP get into the retirement plan recordkeeping business?
DeSilva: We got into the business back in 1989. As a firm that excels in supporting the intricate data management, recordkeeping, payroll tax and compliance for businesses, it was an obvious extension for us. The retirement plan solutions are a core competency of ours and fit well into our overall value proposition.
EBN: Do you have any relationships with the plan sponsors who you don't also serve with respect to their payroll processing needs?
DeSilva: Yes, our retirement plan product stands alone very well, so we have relationships with plan sponsors that don't have ADP payroll.
EBN: Is there any correlation between the size of the plan sponsor and their using ADP both for payroll and retirement plan recordkeeping?
DeSilva: In general, the payroll integration value prop resonates very well with companies with smaller internal staffs to manage this kind of work.
EBN: Are the services available priced as a bundled package?
DeSilva: We don't bundle our payroll recordkeeping products. Our recordkeeping fees are the same for ADP and non-ADP payroll clients.
EBN: ADP is as much a technology company as anything else. What technology innovations have you introduced lately?
DeSilva: About a year ago we introduced our mobile app that is designed to help drive participation rates, participant education and help people take actions, like increasing their deferral amounts or swapping funds, without having to send in a bunch of paperwork.
EBN: How do you leverage mobile to get participants to take action?
DeSilva: We can communicate with them with messages like, "Hey, it's your birthday, would you like to increase your contributions by 1%? It will mean X dollars more in your retirement income per month." So it's a very customized interaction with the participant. They can take action right on their mobile phone like, clicking here to increase their contributions by one percent in response to that message.
EBN: Can participants pretty much do anything on the mobile app that they could online on a desktop?
DeSilva: No, we still can't do investment allocations just yet. It's the basic stuff: enroll, increase your contributions.
EBN: Can the push notifications be customized for each sponsor?
DeSilva: It's not customized at the plan level yet, but might be in the future. There are three kinds of messages. Besides the one I mentioned, it also tells employees when they are eligible to enroll, and when they hit the age that makes them eligible to make catch-up contributions. But we won't set this up unless the plan sponsor wants it.
EBN: If the sponsor is already using your payroll system, I guess that creates lots of ways you could customize messages. What do you think you might do down the road?
DeSilva: We haven't framed up what the next ones are, but some of the discussions we have are about linking messages to pay increases, like, "Hey, you just got a pay increase, did you want to increase your 401(k) contribution as well? It will be X dollars less out of your paycheck, but it will mean X dollars more at retirement."
EBN: How else are you leveraging technology to simplify plan administration?
DeSilva: We just recently launched a technology called "fund changes online" that gives the sponsor or their financial advisor the opportunity to do all their fund changes electronically. Our goal is ultimately remove non-value add, let people self-service and make the service really easy and effortless. You don't have to request paperwork to do it. Another example would be our two-click 5500 filing. You don't have to call in; it's just two clicks to file your 5500.
EBN: You administer nonqualified plans. How big a part of your business is that?
DeSilva: We purchased our non-qual business from Mercer in 1997. We originally focused on clients in the Fortune 1000 space, but in response to clients' requests, we enhanced the recordkeeping platform so that other clients could display both their non-qual plan and their long-term incentive plan on the same website. So our sales organization continues to sell it actively. I wouldn't say it's the fastest growing component of our business set or our solutions set, but something we continue to offer.
EBN: Earlier you mentioned that you are "fund-agnostic." Does that mean plan sponsors can choose any asset manager they want?
DeSilva: We have relationships with the vast majority of investment managers. But ultimately it's up to the plan sponsor to choose the investments that best fit their needs. We also have multiple investment platforms as part of our solution. We have open-fund architecture, we also have what we call our investment statement platform, where we screen funds based on specific qualitative and quantitative criteria. So they have a choice there. They need to exercise discretion over any action on the investments through the lifetime of the plan.
EBN: So you're making it clear that you aren't assuming any fiduciary responsibility in that area?
DeSilva: There's always that fine line of fiduciary-non-fiduciary. If sponsors choose an investment policy statement that we have developed that reflects their goals, we can help them by narrowing down the vast investment universe into sample lineups that fit the investment policy statement. We screen the universe of investments against that policy statement. But the plan sponsor makes decision of which sleeve [set of funds] best fits them at point of sale, and then into the lifetime of the plan, and we will do this screening of the investments. We will let the plan sponsor know when an investment has not passed our screening criteria. But it is up to the plan sponsor to go in and take action and swap that fund out for another investment.
EBN: Do you offer any retail IRA platforms for employees when they retire — can they do a rollover to an ADP IRA?
DeSilva: No. A participant can either keep their assets in their employer plan, or roll over to an IRA somewhere else. We don't provide them any advice; they have to do their own research. That's kind of the crux of the DOL regulations, protecting people to help them avoid ending up in high-fee products.

I have been hooked by the soda bread bug. Been making it in the oven, which is OK but I am wanting to stretch the limits a little.
I have made bannock on the campfire several different ways but I have never tried it on the backyard propane grill.
Anyone tried it that way?
Any tips?

Nicole Cooke encouraged by GB team performance in Flanders
British rider hoping to refind her Olympic winning form
Nicole Cooke finished 28th in Sunday's Tour of Flanders and confessed to "disappointment overall" but she added that she was encouraged by the contribution made to the early part of the race by her British team-mates. Cooke is riding with the Great Britain national team this season after finding herself "in a sticky situation" when a possible late deal with a German team fell through in February.
On the eve of the season she needed a quick solution, and British Cycling stepped in. Though most of her new team-mates are under-23 riders, Cooke felt on Sunday that they proved they can offer support in the course of the coming season.
"In the early part of the race Katie Colclough and Emma Trott were really excelling themselves, really helping me a lot," said Cooke. "They've got a lot of talent and the right attitude, and they are developing, that's for sure. Having ridden with them at the end of last year I know they're already well equipped to play a supporting role. It'll be down to them now, and their determination."
As for her deal with British Cycling, which is likely to take her through the entire season, Cooke said: "They've certainly helped me out of a sticky situation. What happened should never have happened. When someone signs a contract, and it's a valid contract, it should be honoured. The fact that the team manager has had no reprimand is a scandal. But British Cycling really did get behind me when I was in a tricky situation. Simon [Cope, the under-23 women's coach] has been very supportive. And I think that, as a team, we've got off to a good start."
All of which means that Cooke is confident that, after a disappointing 2009, she can return to the World Cup podium soon - and perhaps to the top step at the world championships, which she also graced in 2008, just weeks after her triumph in Beijing. "The world's are definitely my big goal for this year," said Cooke. "We've got a programme that mixes World Cups with national level races, and sooner or later I want to be fighting for the podium and for wins."
Next up for Cooke and her young Great Britain teammates is the Ronde Van Drenthe World Cup on Thursday.

The Vigilant Cloud Front service obfuscates and organization core infrastructure by deploying a proxy service for any application thru public and hybrid-cloud formations. Most proxy services are dedicated to high volume CDN that have significant upfront commitments and limited control over geographic presence advertising.The Vigilant cloud front service uses a combination of remote cloud and local cloud custom network appliances to advertise geographic information based on real and virtual presence.
GeoIP (Geographic IP ) advertising allows an organization IP address to be associated with a local Geographic region typically down to the city level. Routing lookups allow the true location to be identified by upstream routers. Through various proprietary routing technologies and software defined networks, a server in LA can appear to access systems from New York, or South America. Depending on the level of investment, the location of the advertised IP can be published to the desired city, or the IP can be advertised and routed (either thru physical L3 hops or completely Virtual hops)
The table below outlines typical cost of the GeoIP publishing

text: BUSINESS Univision Meets With CBS, Time Warner Over Potential Sale (Report) 5:55 PM PDT 6/12/2014 by THR Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME UPDATED: The Spanish-language broadcaster is said to be seeking more than $20 billion from suitors. Univision Communications is in early talks with CBS and Time Warner over a potential sale, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The Spanish-language broadcaster has had talks with multiple suitors and an asking price of more than $20 billion is being sought, the Journal reported. The talks were described as "preliminary discussions." Competing Spanish-language broadcaster Televisa was also named as suitor for Univision. Televisa did not immediately respond to request for comment. The reported talks arrive after AT&T-DirecTV and Time Warner Cable-Comcast merger deals were made. On an earnings call April 28, Univision CEO Randy Falco described the proposed Time Warner Cable-Comcast merger in unfavorable terms. It "could be bad for competition and most importantly bad for Hispanic audiences," he said at the time. Univision claims viewership in more than 94 million homes in the United States. A group of investors, led by Haim Saban, control Univision. They purchased it in 2007 for $13.7 billion. CBS declined to comment on the Journal report. Earlier this week, Time Warner was reportedly in discussions to take an equity interest in Vice Media. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME THR Staff email@example.com @thr

The CIO as Change Agent: Are You Prepared?Being a change agent is the attribute of the CIO role anticipated to take on the greatest increase in importance during the next two years.
Oct 6, 2004
ITSM Watch Staff
In an era of rapid change and ruthless competition, many organizations are dramatically rethinking their strategies. Whether driven by globalization, end-to-end process optimization (for example, "order to cash"), or tighter integration of processes across the value chain (for example, the "extended" or "virtual" enterprise), the scope and complexity of requisite transformation activities are escalating. Indeed, a full 80 percent of study respondents stressed the increasing importance of improving their organizations' transformation capability.

Today, I did the thing that a writer is never supposed to do.
I quit my day job.
I didn't exactly plan to, and I'm not, technically out the door, yet. My last day will be 12-1. But as career planning goes, this is kind of like that Buddhist monk with the gas can and the matches. Either I am about to achieve enlightenment and move to a higher plane, while making a major statement that will make the world sit up and take notice…
or I'm going to realize any time now, that this was a really dumb idea, and I'll be more sorry than I can possibly imagine.
I am an eternal optimist, and am going with the first one. In a job where I never bothered to memorize my work phone number, and have been printing my calender off the internet one month at a time, I really doubt that I was fully committed to making things work.
In the realm of "dumbest thing I ever did" this doesn't even make the top 10. I've done so many dumb things in 45 years, that this isn't even a blip on the radar. It's probably not even in the top 5 of the career section, since I've got "Working in Theater" and "Quitting theater without having another job lined up" and "All the things I did after theater, while trying to find myself(like secret shopping, and the product purchasing job where I had to send empty food wrappers to Indiana)."
And of course, the clown wig job, and the newspaper route.
Trying to make a living as a writer, really looks kind of sane after the clown wig job. At least I know I won't be huffing AquaNet.
And good news for anyone reading: I'm about to have a lot more time to blog. Of course, I'll be blogging about how broke I am, but it will probably be pretty funny in a pathetic sort of way, so stay tuned…

TEHRAN — Denouncing what they called a hypocritical Western suppression of free speech, Iranian media officials expressed outrage Wednesday over a decision by Europe's largest satellite providers to cease transmission of Iran's 19 state-operated satellite television and radio channels that broadcast to Europe and parts of the Middle East.
The decision, announced Monday by the French company Eutelsat and the British company Arqiva, came as the European Union expanded its list of sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program. The satellite blackout has deprived the Iranian channels of an audience abroad that represents 200 million households.
The blocked channels include Iran's flagship English-language Press TV news service and the Arabic-language Al Alam, both among the Islamic Republic's most powerful outlets for disseminating the government's political and religious viewpoints.
Without mentioning Iran's censorship of many Western media outlets, the official Iranian reaction Wednesday was that Europe had attacked its own values of freedom of speech.
"They must understand the time of censorship is over," said Ezzatollah Zarghami, the head of Iran's state-run radio and television organization, known as Voice and Vision. "They want to prevent our views from being heard, but they will fail."
Several of the blocked Iranian channels are now streaming over the Internet.
In July, Zarghami, who was directly appointed by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was added to a list of sanctioned individuals by the EU over what it called "human rights violations" by his channels.
Iran, which says it is fighting a Western cultural invasion, routinely blocks the transmission of the Persian services of the Voice of America and the BBC, which it has labeled opposition channels. While satellite receivers and dishes are considered technically illegal in Iran, they are widely available across the country, where people have turned to channels offering Turkish and Latin American soap operas dubbed in Persian.
A spokesman for Eutelsat said that following orders by French authorities in the past, certain individual channels had faced similar measures, but it is the first time that all state television and radio channels of a country had been stopped.
Iran's Press TV, a 24-hour English language news channel started in 2007, said there had been "a chorus of harsh criticism" from viewers worldwide against the decision to stop its broadcasts.

You feel rundown despite that you sleep up to the norm? Then, perhaps, it would be interesting (and embarrassing) for you to know that sleeping 8 hours a day cannot alone make you fit as a fiddle. It`s not just about how much you sleep – it`s also about how right you do this. If tiredness follows you like a shadow, look through its potential triggers below and find out, which one is yours.
Your sleep is poor
You may be sleeping for 7 to 8 hours, but your brains still get no adequate clear-out. Where`s the catch? The truth is that you may have a restless sleep, and you can easily reveal this – think how often you hear what is going on around when sleeping, or how many times a night you wake up and then immediately fall asleep.It may happen occasionally, but it should not be a propensity, since your brains have too little time to clean themselves, which means all the toxins are still inside your head ever accumulating and finally causing something like Alzheimer's.
Your breathing may stop during sleep
It`s a medical phenomenon called apnoea. Fortunately for you, it`s not that commonplace only affecting about 8% of the planet. Still, you never know if you are on the list until ask your doctor for a diagnosis. It works as follows: you sleep enough but wake up consistently, because your breathing suddenly stops. Some are lucky guys to wake up 5 times a night, others but experience a dozen-time wake every hour. The trap is that you never remember you`ve woken up.So, it`s only your doctor who can help. Or ask the family to watch you – a sort of funny game.
Your body lacks water
Some women deliberately drink in very modest quantities worrying about face swellings and baggy eyes. However, dehydration is very risky. You can even get a thirst fever, which you won`t be able to self-diagnose timely and so cause trouble to your own body. Still, if drink small amounts throughout a day rather than 2 liters single-time, this will keep your blood pressure afloat, thus delivering enough oxygen to the brain and making you alive. Get into a habit of 7 daily glasses of whatever drinks (excluding alcohol) equaled in parts. Avoid drinking right before bedtime – give your liquid an hour or so to get processed, and thus you`ll have no puffy face in the morning.
You are short of proteins and minerals
If your flash and bones lack something like magnesium to control blood glucose, or vitamin B to convert fats and carbos into energy, or proteins to take care of your muscle fibers, you are destined to continuous tiredness. Eat vegetables and nuts to consume magnesium and vitamins, drink low-fat and sugar-free yoghurts to have enough proteins inside your body.If you feel like your case needs a closer eye, make a detailed mineral-rich diet plan.
Your thyroid is out of order
Thyroid disorders are always shoulder to shoulder with fatigue, as the hormones in charge of yoursleep start underdoing, and, as such, you are always drowsy. In case you sleep enough but still want more, visit a doctor`s.
Your tiredness should not be ignored, because it may alarm you on certain disorders. Make use of the signals your body sends you, to prevent the unwanted consequences.

Chelsea endured an afternoon of frustration at Stamford Bridge against a dogged and well-organised Everton.
The Blues dominated for long periods of the second half with Eden Hazard, Willian and Marcos Alonso all going close to breaking the deadlock, but were left to settle for a point that maintains our unbeaten start to the campaign and makes Maurizio Sarri the first Premier League coach not to lose a match in his opening 12 games.
The Italian will not be celebrating the feat, however, and is left to wonder how his side was unable to find a goal to win the game. Alonso clipped the outside of the post while Hazard and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford seemed locked in a personal battle for parts of the second half, and Alvaro Morata had an effort chalked off for offside.
Credit should go to the visitors too, who provided stern opposition and threatened on occasion themselves.
Maurizio Sarri was able to call on Eden Hazard from the start of a Premier League game for the first time since 20 October. Ross Barkley was only on the bench against his former club following some intense Europa League exertions with Mateo Kovacic taking his place. The visitors gave Colombian centre-back Yerry Mina a full Premier League debut with Blues loanee Kurt Zouma ineligible.
A minute's silence to mark Remembrance Sunday, exactly 100 years since the end of the First World War, preceded kick-off, as serving members of the Armed Forces joined Chelsea Pensioners and players on the pitch.
Once the action was underway, neither side was finding it easy to grasp control, attacks regularly petering out before reaching the final third.
The game's first opportunity fell to Everton's Bernard, who lashed a half-volley a foot wide of Kepa's right-hand post after a corner was only partially cleared.
Mina fouled Hazard just outside the visitors' area on 21 minutes, Marcos Alonso bending the Blues' first shot of the game just past the post. Hazard's interplay with Kovacic just before had been the encounter's sole standout moment of quality.
N'Golo Kante, booked for a foul on
With six minutes left in the first half, neither goalkeeper had been tested but that was to change when Willian lofted an angled free-kick into the box and Alonso caught his volley sweetly. The Van Basten-like effort was heading for the top corner, a goal of the season contender until England's Jordan Pickford acrobatically pushed it away to keep the game goalless at the break.
Just before the whistle, a flashpoint involving Toni Rudiger and Bernard saw both players booked. Replays suggested the Everton man had aimed a headbutt at the Blues defender.
Fifteen minutes for everybody to cool off seemed to invigorate the Blues and we were almost in front immediately after the restart. David Luiz's long ball forward freed Hazard to put the ball into the box for Morata, who, tussling with Mina, nudged the ball towards goal but saw Pickford claw it away to safety. It was as good a chance as either side had fashioned in the whole of the first half.
Hazard, in particular, was looking more threatening, first with that previous chance created from the left, then firing a low ball across goal from the right.
His opposite number 10 was also getting going, Gylfi Sigurdsson testing Kepa with a bending long-range drive the Blues keeper had to push over the bar and then delivering a cross from which Bernard should really have scored rather than trip over his own feet at the far post.
The game was now much more open, much more entertaining, with the key creative forces finding pockets of space to exploit.
Hazard picked out Willian's run and saw the Brazilian drive narrowly wide and then had a crack from 30 yards himself, Pickford pushing that effort behind. Next up he beat two men before firing low, this time a deflection forcing Pickford to tip it over the crossbar.
It would be wrong to suggest this was a one-man show, others were contributing, but there was no doubting the identity of the main man. Even when he was imperfect, Hazard was still creating. He was unable to bring down a long ball but took just enough off David Luiz's pass to tee up Alonso, who hit another sweet one that clipped the outside of the far post.
Into the final 20 minutes, it looked as though we had finally made a breakthrough, only for Morata to be ruled offside after diverting Cesar Azpilicueta's low cross into the net. Moments later Hazard in was in the thick of things again, poking a Kovacic through ball just wide.
Everton's goal was living a charmed life and it was little surprise to see Marco Silva introduce an extra defender. Sigurdsson was sacrificed as Phil Jagielka formed a back five, which helped the visitors gain a little more of a foothold in the game's closing stages and see out the game to claim a point they would have gladly taken before kick-off.
As we anticipated more of a Chelsea onslaught as the minutes ticked away, we were left increasingly infuriated. It is perhaps the effect of a busy run of fixtures and a midweek jaunt to Belarus that we were lacking that extra bit of energy needed to find a late winner, even with five added minutes.
We now have a two-week break for international games before travelling to Wembley to meet Spurs on 24 November. We will go into that game in third, a point and a place ahead of our London rivals.

Submarine Movie #4 (Ok, a lot of this flick takes place on the Arctic ice cap, but it still counts as a military submarine movie)
Synopsis: It's like the second half of The Hunt for Red October combined with the first half-hour of The Empire Strikes Back.
Blurb From the VHS Jacket: "Treacherously perched at the top of the world, Ice Station Zebra silently guards a secret that will change the balance of power forever. America's only hope rests with the speed and courage of the fighting men in the nuclear sub 'Tigerfish.' Pray they get there before the Russians."
What Did I Learn?: 1) If you're looking for a traitor/villain in your midst, start with the funny-looking fellow with a thick, European accent (Oh wait – I learned that from countless episodes of Scooby Doo!) 2) It's always the black guy who gets killed first... hey wait a minute – this movie is chock full of clichés!
Really?: So, um...why don't the Soviets send a submarine to the crash site, if it's the fastest (and only) means of getting there quickly?
Rating: Based on an Alistair MacLean novel, Ice Station Zebra is an enjoyable (albeit not terribly believable) Cold War adventure that's more spy story than submarine film. It's fun to watch Rock Hudson, Ernest Borgnine (his Russian accent is atrocious, by the way), Patrick McGoohan and Jim Brown play off each other, but the film really starts to drag in the second half for a simple reason: at two hours and 30 minutes (there's actually an intermission!) – Ice Station Zebra is just a bit too long for my taste. 7/10 stars.

Eggplant Stacks, A Jimmy Carter Family Recipe.
Walking through Trader Joe's the other day after work, I came upon a display of shiny, chubby eggplants. While eggplant is one of those vegetables I am learning to enjoy cooking in new ways, I knew right away what I would make with it and placed one in my cart.
|Eggplant Stacks
Eggplant Stacks
adapted from: The family recipes of Jimmy and Roslyn Carter
serves 6-8
1 large eggplant, peeled if desired (the peel can toughen when baked....) sliced 1 inch thick. Keep the butt end, dice, add to the tomato mixture.
salt and pepper
olive oil
1 small onion
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 c minced tomatoes (14 oz can drain well)
1/4 t thyme leaves, crumbled
additional salt and pepper
1/4 c minced parsley
1/2 c (1 slice) fresh whole wheat bread crumbs
1 c grated Swiss cheese (Swiss is best for the nutty flavor, but you may substitute cheddar) OR thin sliced Swiss Cheese
Place eggplant pieces on a flat baking pan, brush with oil, season with salt and pepper, broil until lightly brown, turn and repeat.
Remove eggplant from broiler, set aside.
In a skillet, add olive oil and saute the onion and garlic along with the diced eggplant, until golden, season with salt and pepper along with the thyme. Stir in the tomatoes, cook and stir until most of the moisture is gone. Stir in the bread crumbs and parsley.
Spoon evenly onto the eggplant slices in mounds.
Bake 350 degrees 15-20 minutes.

Dominic Kinnear put a great game plan together for Pachuca on Thursday night.
Pachuca dominated possession and pressed the attack, but Tally Hall and the defense were too much on a night Joseph Ngwenya scored a pair of goals to beat Pachuca 2-1.
Pachuca coach Guillermo Rivarola wasn't pleased with the Dynamo's style Thursday.
"I think they never wanted to play, never wanted to play," Rivarola said. "The game started and I think they just wanted the minutes to elapse and they found two errors of ours and they won the game."
"He's entitled to his opinion," Ngwenya said. "I'm just happy that we won. All the rest of the talk doesn't matter. Anybody can say whatever they want. Talk is cheap. But I'm just happy that we won."
Corey Ashe wasn't shedding tears for Rivarola either.
"They had a lot of possession," Ashe said. "They're a good team. They knocked the ball around, but in the end it matters how many goals you score. You can have all the opportunities, but if you don't score it doesn't matter. We can say that in MLS we've been the only team on the field but have not come away with the result. The object is to put the ball in the back of the back net, and we were able to do that more than they were."

Also very hearty: "Lamb Bizkit" (RM16), with a lamb patty that's perhaps overwhelmed by toppings of onion rings, a hash brown, cheddar cheese, sauteed mushrooms, gherkin pickles & minted mayo (phew!).
For vegetarians: A falafel burger with garlic mayo sauce. The patty's pretty dense, for better or worse.
