Warm sun on my face. A lazy breeze shuffles through the magnolia leaves, chilly reminder that even the lowcountry has winter. I watch a cat slink under the camellias, molten, merging into the shadows. Twittering birds erupt in a cloud of scolding. The cat stalks off, disgusted.
Laughter swells as someone backs out the door with arms laden. The storm door slams shut behind them, cutting off the cheerful din. Conversation drifts toward me on the breeze as some of the family stroll back from the nearby pond, where they'd been admiring the resident 'gator. Their voices mingle with the mouth-watering sounds and aromas of frying turkey. Children fly past on bikes and scooters. Somewhere, a dog barks. I stretch my legs out in the grass before me. Another car pulls up, bearing friends and family. The magnolia whispers overhead.
A child bumps my arm as I pour, spilling rich red wine over the rim. Sunlight shimmers in beads of deepest ruby clinging, sliding, as I quietly lift my glass in homage to this day. Thanksgiving, indeed.

I can't tell you when, where or how old I was the first time I watched "Star Wars." It was a long time ago.
I can tell you I where I was when I first read the news that Lucasfilm had been sold to Disney for $4.2 billion and oh, by the way, they were going to make Episode VII and it would be released in 2015. Cue the five stages of grief experienced twice, once that day, and then again spread out over the next few months.
But yesterday, my melancholy feelings toward the future of my favorite film series pretty much dissipated with the news (without official confirmation from Disney or Lucasfilm) that J.J. Abrams would be the man to bring the continued adventures from Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Why is Abrams the right man for the job? Because he's an unabashed fan of the series. He respects the source material and is no stranger to the world and characters. But most importantly, he knows how to craft a story with rich characters – outside of Checkov – and he knows how make it exciting.
But the big elephant in the room is now Abrams' association with that other sci-fi franchise that starts with "Star," you know little ole "Trek?"
Well guess what? I couldn't be happier.
The requel (reboot/sequel) of the more than 40 year old series in 2009 is one of my favorite movies of all time. Abrams and his Bad Robot team were able to breath new life into an franchise that had fell victim to over saturation through the 90s and early 2000s and needed to go in a different direction if it ever wanted to find the main stream appeal that Star Wars had held since its release in 1977.
How did Abrams do that? By using the same "Heroes Journey" template that George Lucas mined for Luke Skywalker's story. Don't believe me? The 2009 version of James Tiberius Kirk is basically a Han Solo character put into the shoes of Luke. The story begins with Nero's giant vessel attacking a much smaller Federation vessel, not much different from Vader's Star Destroyer bearing down on the Rebel Corvette in the opening of A New Hope.
There's a few other similarities, like old Spock and Captain Pike playing the surrogate of Obi-Wan Kenobi. But my favorite is this one, two shots that represent the same message: the yearning for more:
Say what you want about "Lost" (he wasn't really involved past the Pilot save for the season 3 premiere) or about plot holes in "Star Trek" (blame some of that on the writer's strike) and stop with the lame lens flare jokes.
In my eyes, Abrams was the perfect choice to sit in the director's chair for at least the first entry in the next trilogy.
He'll bring old school sensibilities that were present in "Super 8," an homage to the early 80s Spielberg movies and he'll know how to entice the audience, from the first teaser trailer to the last frame before the credits.
And after resurrecting a series like Trek, who better than Abrams to give Star Wars a much needed punch in the arm?
I might not remember when I saw Star Wars for the first time, but I sure know where I'll be in 2015.
I've got a good feeling about this.

Director Baltasar Kormakur has already rounded up a great cast for his survival drama Everest, and now two more strong actors are joining the production. According to THR, Robin Wright and Sam Worthington have signed on to co-star on the film, which is already in production. Per THR, "Wright will play the wife of Brolin's character, a doctor who fought the elements over an arduous night," while Worthington has been cast as a "Guy Cotter, a scaling expert from New Zealand." Wright will be seen later this year in The Congress and A Most Wanted Man, and Worthington is going to be in theaters this Friday in the action flick Sabotage.
The film also stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Martin Henderson, Emily Watson, Michael Kelly, and Thomas M. Wright. Everest opens September 18, 2015. Hit the jump for the official synopsis.
Here's the official synopsis for Everest:
Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, EVEREST documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.

Technology - best to take a broad view and account for interactions. Applying knowledge to useful ends is a pretty good definition of technology. Contrary to what some would have you believe, most greens are not generally anti-technology (think of modern wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, effiency and pollution control systems, electric trams...). Take this report 'Robots could reduce animal tests' on a technology whose 'ultimate goal is to develop non-animal based testing methods that are rigorous enough to be submitted for regulatory approval' for example – greens are likely to welcome such a development, subject to applying a process of technological assessment(see image and later description).
I hold to a particular view of technology though – and it does not accord with the widely-held view, expressed in any dictionary, that technology is the application of science, in particular to industry or commerce (a view which became firmly established during nineteenth century industrialisation and the development of capitalism and consumer societies). The dictionary definition only tells part of the story, for there is a lot more to technology than applied science or technical considerations – in addition to the hardware (scientific, technical, machines, tools) there is also software (people - and some other animals, organisation, social processes)! In any case technology (eg as 'tool use' or all practical knowledge) clearly predates science by a very, very long way (think of a chimp catching termites with a stick!).
My view is broader and focussed on interactions, a key consideration for greens. It is not centred on any one type of knowledge, even though scientific knowledge is of course of great value. The broad approach to technology is much more likely to achieve lasting and appropriate solutions to problems because it tries to account for responses to technical change - it does not just argue for a technofix but considers the network of linkages between all the relevant factors: technical; economic; social; psychological; environmental… The scale and social context of technical change are very important. My definition of technology acknowledges the role of science but also acknowledges that key technological processes and concepts such as design, systems, modelling and management, involve craft and people skills. To apply knowledge practically requires people to be organised as well as machines to be used.
This broad approach does mean always trying to take account of subjective human beings and their values! This means a thorough, comprehensive approach to assessing technology: its technical capabilities and limitations; its current and future cost-effectiveness; its impact on the quantity and quality of work; its impact on the natural environment and various systems environments, and other relevant dimensions, as well as the interactions between these factors. We should not simply 'surrender' unconditionally to inventions and 'novelties' just because they are offered but should instead direct and control technological change towards justly and rationally determined social goals. We have to do this if we are to achieve a sustainable society in any case.
A purely technical 'solution' may often result in changes in other key factors which reduce, undermine or reverse any progress made. Examples: increasing fuel efficiency of vehicles means less fuel used, saving people money, which they may then spend on travelling further, consuming more fuel.; installing low energy lighting may mean people are happy to leave them on for longer; cars with many safety features may be driven faster…it's a kind of rebound effect. Taking a broad view of technology and assessing it in the round, may predict potential behavioural (and indeed ecological) changes and allow a better solution to be designed. Any solution is highly likely to have both advantages and disadvantages in varying proportions, what some call the dual nature of technology. Fitting catalytic converters to cars cuts emissions of toxic gases like nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, but all else being equal results in higher fuel consumption due to lower efficiency, and along with it higher emissions of carbon dioxide – massive growth in car use (perhaps encouraged a bit by making cars less toxic) has in any case severely cut the benefits of the catalytic converter!
Some technologies may have inherent qualities which make them inconsistent with building a sustainable society. Current commercial nuclear technologies would be put in this category by many, due to fact that future generations continue to have to keep watch over its wastes. Even then one could argue (though I would not) for short term use of it as a minority in the green movement have.

"Africa has what the world wants but requires a 30-year instead of a 5-year view"
Africa, often regarded as the last frontier in the global economy, can either be viewed as the glass half-full or half-empty. However, at a recent panel discussion hosted by the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB), the expressed views were that it can also be viewed as "a third of glass full" and on the way up. The panel further stated that while Africa offers a vast amount of opportunities, it does come with extra risk and a challenging environment to do business in.
The discussion was moderated by Dr.Nthabiseng Moleko, faculty member at the USB, and the panel included Mpane Maneli, Portfolio Manager at Argon Asset Management, Casper de Villiers, co-founder of Clickatell, Ivette du Toit, Group Tax Director at Clickatell, Brendan Langeveldt, CEO of Kallos Exporters, and Thapelo Lippe, CEO of The RightSource.
Maneli opened the discussion by explaining how Africa's diversity makes it more difficult to do business, and that "Africa has what the world wants but requires a 30-year instead of a 5-year view" of the continent. De Villiers concurred and added that there are plenty of opportunities for business "but not for all" (types of business). The panel further agreed that the African challenge required specific types of skills and du Toit encapsulated this argument with "if you can make it in Africa you can make it anywhere".
The panel members were unanimous in arguing that education offered the best solution for Africa's problems however, there were conflicting views on the role business should play to support it. Maneli suggested that governments force companies to invest in educational endeavours whereas Langeveld argued that companies making fixed investments already contribute to education through the training and intellectual property that accompany such investments.
De Villiers proposed using crowdsourcing and enabling technologies to develop videos aimed at educating the masses. Langeveldt concluded with "do not wait for government to start doing something, do it yourself" and thereby start making a difference faster than any government would.
An interesting debate was the panel's views on the fourth industrial revolution and its potential impact on the continent. Moleko opened the discussion by asking whether the fourth industrial revolution presented a doubled edged sword to which Lippe responded with "tech is great, but it is not the solution to Africa's problems".
Lippe further argued that the "dark side of tech", for example the ability to influence elections, presented a real problem and was also concerned about the threat of job losses. This argument was opposed by the other panellists, with de Villiers stating that "technology is the best enabler in the world" and can open new opportunities in other sectors which result in even more jobs than was lost, and Langeveld indicating how it dramatically reduces the risk of doing business.
The discussion concluded with members of the panel emphasising the opportunities Africa presented but cautioned on the risks and challenges. The final words from Langeveldt encapsulated the discussion with "look for something good, you will find it, but know what you are doing".

Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion
One West 4th street (Between Broadway and Mercer)
New York City
Join us in celebrating the real-life stories of less-known people who despite their anonymity have made a real impact on others. Our evening opens with Julia Newman's Into the Fire: American Women in the Spanish Civil War, followed by Howard Weinberg's Sid at 90.
Into the Fire: American Women in the Spanish Civil War is a portrait of a group of intrepid American women, mainly nurses with some notable journalists and writers who joined over 2700 of their countrymen to volunteer for the Spanish Civil War, the first major battle against Fascism. Produced and directed by Julia Newman,Into the Fire focuses on sixteen of these women, telling in their own words their stories of courage and commitment to a just cause.
Sid at 90 is a picture of rare perseverance that celebrates a journeyman actor's pure love of performance. Although Sid Raymond would not become a star he did not give up the desire to entertain and spent his life performing from the Catskill Mountains to the front in World War II, from summer stock to Broadway, and from Madison Avenue to Hollywood. His is a journey that inspires actors, older Americans, and anyone who has ever clung to a passion. Sid at 90 is produced and directed by Howard Weinberg.
Often in life we turn to the ordinary to discover extraordinary people and things. What once appeared as considerably less is suddenly much more significant. Into the Fire and Sid at 90 are two rare treats that are testimonies to the extraordinary people that we meet.

I've been meaning to play around with some new chocolate molds I bought, but I have been lazy and/or busy. Finally, after all this time, the weather cooled down just enough for me to feel in the mood to play with chocolate.
Chocolate-covered Strawberries
I've been having MAJOR strawberry cravings and been eating basket after basket of them. They are buying quite a whole in my pocket since it is no longer strawberry season, but I love strawberries! They are my favorite fruit.
So the first thing I did with some leftover strawberries? Quickly whipped up some milk chocolate and white chocolate covered strawberries! Yum! Also, since I had a tiny bit of yellow-tinted white chocolate left from another project (see below), I quickly (emphasizing on quickly) decorated the strawberries. Do you know how hard it is to pipe with very little chocolate left in a baggie?
With the yellow, I got two reactions: my dad asked if I put cheese on my strawberries and my boyfriend asked if I put mustard. Lesson learned: don't use yellow on chocolate.
They were delish!
Chocolate Lollipops
I love flowers because they are a symbol of happiness. Flowers are also colorful and I love colorful things. In general I think flowers are a waste of money because they die so quick, but hey, these chocolate flower lollipops won't die.... unless you eat them. Therefore, it's a win-win experience!
I was too lazy to create more colored white chocolate so I just stuck with yellow, pink, and the normal brown milk chocolate. I'm not a fan of white chocolate (too sweet!), but these are pretty yummy. I love chocolate that is soft, yet not melted. I love chocolates that just dissolves in your mouth... yum!
(Also, don't you like my nail color? I'm IN LOVE with this color! It's perfect for your nails- subtle so you don't look trashy, yet pretty pink to give yourself some color.)
Chocolate-covered strawberries: milk and white chocolate with yellow-tinted white chocolate swirls
Chocolate lollipops: petals are milk chocolate or pink-tinted white chocolate with yellow-tinted white chocolate centers

With 18 NBA All-Star selections, five league titles, and two Olympic gold medals under his belt, Kobe Bryant is hanging it up at the end of this season. As the future Hall of Famer plays the final games of his historic career, here's what stars from around the league are saying about one of the greatest Lakers of all time.
Paul George
"Kobe was aggressive on the court, but a gentleman through and through. He'd ask everyone he was paired against, 'Did you have supper? What did you have for supper?' Every game, from first quarter to last. And he'd remember what you had too, years later. I've never seen such a high level of sportsmanship."
James Harden
"If it weren't for Kobe, I wouldn't even know what a basketball is. I would have just assumed it was a big orange egg from The Flintstones that someone stole from Mr. Slate."
Dwyane Wade
"I can't knock someone who dominated the court like that. That said, every time he took a shot, he would shout 'One more melon in the berry bowl!' I'll give it to him that melons are fruits, but they're definitely not berries. It didn't sit right with me."
Kevin Garnett
"Kobe loved having nicknames for his opponents, but he gave everybody the same one. It was 'Cowboy.'"
Tony Allen
"Kobe Bryant prepares better than anyone else in the league. I was guarding him a couple years ago, and he kept muttering a bunch of dates over and over. I looked them up later, and it turned out that they were the birthdays of all of my cousins."
Dirk Nowitzki
"He has one of the most brilliant minds in basketball. Kobe once took me to a Johnny Rockets before a game and said, 'Dirk Nowitzki, you can have as many orders of chili cheese fries as you want—my treat!' I said, 'Kobe, you're not trying to get me bloated and disgusting before our game, are you?' He was appalled that I would say such a thing. 'You are my best friend, Dirk Nowitzki, and I love you,' he said. So I went to town on those chili cheese fries, and wouldn't you know it, I threw up all over the floor at the Staples Center and wanted to die."
Tim Duncan
"He is the smartest player I have ever played against. He knows that the key to success on the court is to never think about how you are sweating in front of so many people. The league just won't be the same without him."

Weekend At Bernie's III
Yeah…that's a dead guy on the left.
Apparently this guy's dying 'wish' was to have himself embalmed and placed upright for his own wake.
I think the most logical explanation here is that this is one of those cases where a person (oh let's call that person his mother) just doesn't get when a person (oh let's call that person her son) is clearly joking.
So let this be a warning to all of us who freely practice the art of sarcasm. One day it might backfire BIG TIME. Be careful.

From the Ohio country
Miss Waterman spent her afternoon on Friday in archery practice with her recently acquired bow. She was like a child at Christmas! A good deal of my time on Friday afternoon was spent in conversation with Mr. Cushing upon the topic of his disappointment of a few months back.
Whilst at tea, Miss Waterman stood and offered up a special thanks to everyone there for making her feel so welcome since her arrival last year. Miss Waterman and I also spent some time with the Mudds who brought along their new daughter.
After the tea, the Tumbuschs held dance instruction under the pavilion. We all danced and laughed. Because Mrs. Wise had to leave early, we had to hold the second half of the ladies archery competition instead of having the second portion on Sunday afternoon
Mrs. Kannick came in first place with Miss Myers a close second and Miss Waterman in third.

I'm delighted that this week's Meet the Local is Katie, the owner of Tommy & Lottie. Katie and I started chatting a few weeks ago and with the Sustainable St Albans Festival starting on the 11th May and last week being Fashion Revolution Week, I thought this interview was perfect timing.
For those of you who aren't aware of the Fashion Revolution it a campaign for a fashion industry that conserves and restores our environment and gives people, especially women, a voice.
The Fashion Revolution and environmentally friendly clothing are two things that are very important to Katie. She set out to create clothing that was both sustainable and ethical, resulting in the creation of Tommy & Lottie. They produce unisex, ethical and sustainable, clothing which considers the environment.
Tommy & Lottie's twinning sweatshirts are made from organic, vegan, peta certified cotton so really are super sustainable. In a world where disposable fashion has been growing exponentially it's important to Katie that her products last. So instead of using plastic transfers on the clothing, she's opted for embroidery and screen print as they're more enduring.
Sumatran Orangutan Society
One charity that Katie has also partnered with is the Sumatran Orangutan Society. She hand draws all her designs, so after drawing a baby orangutan she connected with the Sumatran Orangutan Society and they loved the design. They have since launched a partnership whereby when you purchase any Tommy & Lottie orangutan prints or sweatshirts, over 10% will be donated to the charity.
Discover even more about Katie....
The one thing I love most about my job is… the flexibility, creativity, no work politics, balance.
I moved to St Albans… from London when I was pregnant with Tommy as although I loved London it was too busy and expensive. After my maternity leave I decided to give up my previous career in Retail and telecomms with a focus to start my own business. I always wanted to be at home for the kids as they grow up so fast, you cannot get those years back.
The best piece of advice I've ever received… was to believe in yourself.
My most memorable work memory is launching the orangutan partnership.

Shares of the Brazilian water utility Sabesp took a dip this week after it said it might raise new equity. Investors everywhere, however, will have to get used to such capital calls.
Citigroup estimates that water companies need to spend up to $10 trillion globally by 2029 on new and upgraded infrastructure.
It's true that Sabesp, the world's fourth-largest water and sanitation company, could have done a better job with communication. Its missive at the end of last week didn't mention amounts or timing, and only when asked did executives say that nothing is likely to happen for at least a year.
Sabesp's current ownership complicates matters, too. The State of São Paulo owns a 50.3 percent stake, and any recapitalization plan would have to keep the government in control. Investors registered their confusion by sending the stock down on Monday and on a roller-coaster ride the next two days.
Even so, the company's need for funding in the aftermath of an extended drought and its already high leverage were no secret. The drought — which at one point lowered the level of one of the city of São Paulo's main reservoirs, Cantareira, to just 5 percent of capacity — took its toll on the company's finances. Revenue barely moved for a couple of years while spending increased. That pushed Sabesp's debt load up almost 50 percent to 13 billion reais ($4 billion) between 2013 and 2015, taking Sabesp close to breaching lending covenants.
The company has put the extra money to use quickly, including 2.2 billion reais ($675 million) to pipe water in from Ibuina, 52 miles from Brazil's commercial capital. But it has plenty of other needs. Sabesp says its 45,000 miles of pipes leak 31 percent of the water carried by its system. And 13 percent of the population in the metropolis of São Paulo has no access to proper sanitation, while many people still lack running water.
It's a few drops in an ocean of infrastructure needs that have been documented by Citigroup. About $1 trillion of the total is associated with Latin America, with larger expenditures required in Europe, North America and developed Asia. A Brazilian water utility's capital raise won't be the industry's last.

In between school, sports and other activities, making time to volunteer can seem hard for teenagers. But helping others can be really good for them.
"Volunteering helps teens develop a better sense of who they are," says Jeffrey Rothweiler, PhD, clinical child psychologist at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "It also teaches kids to be kinder."
There are practical benefits to volunteering as well. Teens get experience that can be listed on college and job applications.
Getting Started
Find a local group that supports a cause your child cares about. Kids are more likely to stick with volunteering if they enjoy it.
Ask about age limits when you start looking for places. Some groups want kids to be a certain age or will allow children to volunteer only if a parent comes with them.
St. Louis Children's Hospital is always looking for teenagers age 16 and older to give their time.
"We have about 250 volunteers in our hospital each week," says Kelly Westfall, volunteer coordinator at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "These volunteers stay with patients and their families. Whether it's playing Uno or just giving mom and dad a break, our volunteers really help make our hospital a better place."
Learn more about volunteering at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Call the St. Louis Children's Hospital Center for Families Resource Library at 314.454.KIDS (5437) and press "5" for a list of local volunteer groups.

The Apostle John captured Jesus' words and they are so applicable today.
Frederick Eric Leopold and Donald Bruce Rees were the 149th and the 150th Delaware County residents who did just that for us.
They were true friends that paid the ultimate price while serving to protect this country and their friends and classmates.
Frederick Leopold, just 18 years old, made his sacrifice for us on February 22, 1970.
Less than a month later, 19 year old Donald Rees lay down his life for us on March 21, 1970.
We are here today to honor and remember these two Classmates of 1969, who died at such a young age serving in the United States Army. We are also here to place a monument stone to have a long-lasting remembrance and tribute to these friends and classmates.
Stones have been used as testimonies of great accomplishments. The twelve tribes of Israel set up 12 large stones at the edge of the Jordan River to mark their crossing.
The prophet Samuel picked up a stone, set it in place where the Israelites kept their freedom from the Philistines and called it Ebenezer, meaning "Thus far has the LORD helped us."
Today, the Interboro Class of 1969 places our own Ebenezer stone to commemorate Frederick and Donald's great contributions to our freedom by offering their lives, services and ultimately deaths for us, their friends.
This stone will outlast all of us. It will remind future generations of the sacrifices of those friends who lay down their lives for us. It will even serve as an example for those in the future who may do the same as Frederick Leopold and Donald Rees have done.
We are also placing another stone to commemorate a more recent great accomplishment and display of love and self-sacrifice by another one of our classmates. Jim Shannon could have spent his last days on earth doing a lot of things.
Instead, Jim started putting together the 45th Reunion for the Interboro Class of 1969. There was a lot to do and so little time. Jim made a Herculean attempt to pull together the hundreds of details necessary to do this, infecting many classmates with his enthusiasm. He welcomed volunteers, sometimes he'd 'volunteer' you himself, utilizing the available talents and skills of many classmates and friends to make it all happen…and he succeeded.
We place this stone in memorial to Jim and his dedication to the Interboro Class of 1969 to remind us of the camaraderie and personal love the members of this class have for each other. It will also remind future Interboro classes, as well as others, of the honor in serving others and inspire them to pass it forward in serving others.
Let us pray.
Father in heaven, we thank you for bringing Frederick Leopold, Donald Rees and Jim Shannon into our lives. They were beloved classmates who have added much to the Interboro Class of 1969.
Please bless their souls and comfort their families, friends and classmates.
We ask you to touch others as they come across these stones and stir inside them love of those who have served and a yearning to also serve their class, friends and family.
We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus,
Invitation for friends and family offer remembrances, etc.

Fixed vs. Hourly Pricing For Designers
- By: Wes McDowell
- Jan 30th, 2012
Every web & graphic designer I know has pretty strong feelings about how to price their services. They seem to fall into 2 camps: fixed pricing and hourly pricing. In this episode of the podcast, the gang talks about the pros and cons of each method, and gives some insight as to why they charge the way they do. As always, there are differing opinions and some spirited conversation. They also answer a pricing-related listener question and offer some tips & tricks in the "Do Yourself a Favor" segment.

Please keep up the podcast. I am 28 and after going back to school, I graduate in May from saa.edu. Love listening to podcast while designing, its nice to hear what it's like on the outside. Maybe you could talk about what it might be like for someone like me, and what challenges might I have to overcome.reply
Wes McDowellFebruary 28, 2012
Thanks Kyle! Specifically what challenges are you talking about? just general challenges that recent design grads might face?reply
Vann BakerFebruary 28, 2012
I recently found your podcast and you are providing a lot of great information for all designers, whether they are early in their career or a pro.
Regarding backups . . . I have a Mac Pro and in one drive bay I have a partitioned drive that backs up my working projects and business files, as well as making a backup of my startup drive. I use Super Duper to clone the and this has been a lifesaver when maybe a startup drive issue pops up. I can boot from the daily backup drive and continue working then repair the startup drive later.
I also do weekly backups with two other drives, and I keep one off-site. While this seems like a lot of work, once it's set up it's easy to do and avoids work slow down due to a drive that crashes.reply
Wes McDowellFebruary 28, 2012
That sounds like a pretty bulletproof system you have in place, i'm impressed! I just use an online backup system called BackBlaze. Its $5 a month and it just works in the background and backs up files as they are created or modified. As someone who's not super-techie, it works pretty well for me so far. Thanks for listening Vann!reply
VannMarch 13, 2012
Hi Wes, we've come a long way . . . in the early days of the Mac I used diskettes, then Syquest disks and a stint with an internet startup got me into the disaster recovery mode, or "worst case scenario" (in the late 1990s before any of the online services were available).
I wish I could just use an online backup solution, and one of these days I may be able better separate vital files from archives and internal files that are not utilized often . . . but I do like the fact I can quickly boot from a daily backup drive and keep plugging away.
Keep up the great work with the show!reply
Wes McDowellMarch 13, 2012
Hey, we all have our own systems that work for us, right on! Thanks for listening, we love all the support :)reply
BrittanyAugust 16, 2012
Hi Wes!
I've recently discovered the podcast you guys have been putting out and I love it. I had a side/hopefully helpful note I wanted to share with you all and the community relating to pricing that I found while browsing apps. http://www.mypriceapp.com/ is very easy, simply and seems quite helpful for helping to determine hour wage or price per project for various freelance projects.
Thanks for the great podcasts!
Wes McDowellAugust 17, 2012
Wow, thats awesome, thanks Brittany! I think I might have to bust that out as a "Do Yourself a favor" tip!reply

It is the month of kicking back and enjoying the post-Christmas serenity ...
... when a yacht owner's thoughts turn to the next trip.
In our major article for the month we have a full explanation of the Automatic Identification System now used world-wide: different types; legalities; AIS v radar; problems encountered; and its benefits and disadvantages.
All presented in a simple to read and understand manner. The AIS is an important piece of kit and everyone needs to keep a copy of this handy.
To lighten up the mood we have plenty of fun stories as well: Seahag continues to encounter WA wildlife, or is that vice versa? Plus a simple barbecue on the back deck ... what could possibly go wrong?
We begin Cathy Hawkins' trip through the North West Passage and finish the Muir's trailer sailer odyssey down the Kimberleys.

$12 per month seems like a lot.ReplyDelete
Not if you take full advantage of their program and invest in 12 different stocks. The lowest price per market stock trade on any other online trading service is $5. This program lowers the price per trade to $1, which is a terrific price. Also, the $12 comes off your capital gains when you do your taxes. Picking 12, solid, income producing different stocks to invest in each month is a great way to diversify.ReplyDelete

IMLS Study – Opinion Papers on Library Workforce Issues
As part of the multi-year IMLS study of the future of the library workforce, librarians were invited to serve on "expert panels" to develop opinion papers that would present the challenges for the workforce to be faced within the many library communities.
The individuals to serve on the "expert panels" were identified by members of the study's National Advisory Board. The Panel members were asked to draw on their knowledge and experience in addressing the workforce issues that had been identified by the Advisory Board. The Panels were asked to provide a "view from the field" in presenting the workforce issues with a focus on the next ten years.
The Panels were not asked to develop scholarly or research papers nor were they asked to identify solutions to the workforce challenges.
These papers are intended to provide a basis for further discussion in the profession regarding workforce issues.
The Panel members worked over a period of three to five months through conference calls, email and fax. They were geographically dispersed across the U.S. and, in many cases, were working together for the first time.
The Opinion Papers are now available, in the hopes that they will be dispersed through professional associations and generate continuing discussion of relevant workforce issues.
The Opinion Papers have been collected into a single Adobe Acrobat, or PDF, file, that may be downloaded. Please note that the file is 2.1 MB in size, so it may take from 2-5 minutes to download it, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. The papers are also available individually. The PDF versions of the IMLS Advisory Panel Opinion Papers were created using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.05. If you are using an earlier version of the Acrobat Reader, but in particular versions earlier than 5.0, you may experience problems reading and/or printing these documents. The easiest way to address this problem, should you encounter it, is to download the latest version of the Acrobat Reader at Adobe's Website.

Reviews of Olive Grove
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Olive Grove review
Out room was off the main courtyard which meant that we had a lot of noise coming from people standing outside late at night and early in the morning.
Every where we went in Namibia people were so warm and welcoming. However our reception here was quite frosty

On receiving this feedback, Olive Grove's owner, Roger, was clearly quite surprised as he came back to us with a long note. He had tried to investigate why these travellers had found their reception here 'quite frosty' – and clearly was upset that someone had come away with this view. He pressed the point that this is not what they strive for.
On the issue of noise, he agreed that quite a few guests went to Joe's for dinner and when they got back (around 22h00), there were some conversations in the car park. Similarly, the next morning, some guests were waiting in the car park for their respective transfers, and again there was some discussions going on there. He wasn't aware of any loud or excessive noise – but apologised if there was any.
Roger remains sorry that these travellers didn't enjoy the Olive Grove as much as he and his team always strive for.
Olive Grove review
We stayed at the Olive Grove on three different occasions during our trip. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
We appreciated the variety of resources that were available to purchase at the beginning of our trip. The pocket guides to mammals and birds in Southern Africa that we purchased there were appreciated and utilized throughout our trip. In addition, we appreciated the variety offered at the breakfast buffet and dinners were very good. We also appreciated being able to store a couple of small but bulky items between our trips here.
Olive Grove review
A perfectly adequate start in Windhoek. Set in a residential road the slightly off-putting first impression of barbed wire and large electric gates were dispelled by a friendly welcome. Our room in a separate building across from reception. Plenty large enough but somewhat sombre, especially the bathroom, with dark concrete floors throughout. Breakfast reasonable. Since we weren't staying in the area we couldn't say how well this would function as a base for local activities.Read more about the whole trip
Relax at the Olive Grove Before or After
We spent one night at the Olive Grove Guesthouse at the end our 5 week stay in southern Africa. It is a good place to stay either on arrival or departure from Windhoek airport.
We chose to have dinner at the guesthouse and the meal was excellent.
The rooms are large and comfortable and the location is easy to find by car.
Olive Grove review
The Olive Grove was a charming hotel. We had a very nice upstairs room and a delicious dinner served on a warm evening on the patio.
Since we had been up all night on the flight, we were a little jet lagged but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We did not do any activities at the hotel (or that were arranged by the hotel) so I have put "no comment" in that category below.
Olive Grove review
very nice hotel - interesting use of cement! but we enjoyed the decor and atmosphere here
Good food and nice open plan kitchen/sitting area. Enjoyed the hot tub
Perfect overnight stop.
In a quiet suburb just outside the city centre. Nice classy touches abound. Large room, with a creative use of concrete. Good reataurant with an excellent wine list.
I can't think of many other Guest Houses that could offer a full range of treatments from the attached wellness centre as well.
Olive Grove review
This was a lovely guesthouse - the decor was fantastic and the attention to detail made it more special. It was a lovely relaxing place to spend a night in Windhoek!
We were not staying very long in the city so we didnt have the opportunity to see if there were many activities to do in Windhoek.
Perfect after a long flight
The perfect place to relax after a long flight.
The bubble bath, drinks and personalised notes in our rooms made it extra special.
Olive Grove review
What a wonderful hotel, a great way to start our trip to Namibia.
The staff were lovely and helpful, the design and decor very stylish and in our room the biggest bath we've ever seen. The food was excellent too - real attention to detail was evident everywhere.

According to Jackie Loos of Jackie's Antique Mall on Brown, the best decorations for the holidays are vintage. Who doesn't like a traditional Christmas. When I see those delicate silvered ornaments and bubble lights, I always think of those warm Christmas memories of my childhood.
You can get your fix of traditional, vintage, and antique decor at the Christmas Open House at Jackie's Antique Mall on Brown. Located at 20 Brown Blvd in downtown Rothschild, this event scheduled for Saturday November 22, 2014 from 10:00am – 6:00pm will feature plenty of handmade traditional and country craft items, vintage decor, and antique Christmas ornaments. Vendors are already filling their spaces with holiday inventory, so come early to get the best pick on many of these 'one of a kind' items.
At the Christmas open house there'll also be Christmas treats, coffee, soda, and plenty of holiday season music. Jackie's Antique Mall on Brown is located at 20 Brown Blvd in historic downtown Rothschild, WI, just off the Hwy 51/I39 exit 185 or Hwy 29 exit 171.

Bangladesh's Summit Power International said on Tuesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan's Mitsubishi Corp and subsidiary Diamond Gas International to develop a $3 billion LNG-to-power project.
Under the MoU, subsidiary Summit Corp, group company Summit Holdings and the Japanese firms agreed to develop an integrated liquefied natural gas (LNG) onshore receiving terminal with regasification capacity of up to 1,500 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) at Matarbari, Moheskhali in the Bay of Bengal.
They also agreed to develop two units of 1,200 megawatt (MW) gas turbine combined cycle power projects, relevant high voltage transmission lines and the import of LNG.
"This MoU will help Summit Power International support Bangladesh's fast-growing energy, power and technology needs," said Muhammed Aziz Khan, the chairman of Summit Power International.
"The two groups are well-positioned to uniquely benefit from opportunities arising from the Bangladesh government's move to raise LNG imports to meet the country's domestic natural gas shortfall and expand the country's power generation capacity."
Summit Power is the largest independent power producer in Bangladesh, representing about 21 percent of the country's private power market last year.
Summit Power is set to be the first Bangladeshi firm to list in the Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX) by April, as it seeks to raise funds to invest in assets across Asia.
With up to 30 percent of the over 160 million people in Bangladesh lacking access to electricity, Summit hopes to invest in projects to meet that expected increase in demand, Khan told Reuters in February.
Bangladesh will require about 7 million tonnes of LNG by 2022 and similar volumes of coal by 2024, Khan had said.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? You Should Be…
Something evil lurks in the woods near the SteelTown facility. The ground has been disturbed. There's the feeling you're being watched. And some of our staff have gone missing…
Your Mission…if You Dare.
The undead have risen from their graves to attack SteelTown Paintball – and we need your help to contain them! On foot, your team (we don't recommend going solo – safety in numbers!) will make your way through the woods and city to secure the area and build a safe zone for those behind you. It won't be easy… You've got to survive the attacks from the monsters and the dead that don't want you to make it out.
Warning: This Experience Isn't for Every Player
If you're afraid to walk in the woods in the dark or be chased on foot by masked monsters and zombies, this event may not be for you. Additionally, there will be smoke-filled buildings left from the aftermath of the fires set by the villains. Each team will have an experienced guide trained to protect you, but you will need you to have good aim to keep the undead at a safe distance.
If you've ever wanted to try out paintball without the risk of being shot, then this is your chance! (our monsters & zombies aren't armed, so the only way you'll get shot is from "friendly fire" from another team member).
General AdmissionFeel the Fear
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time for orientation.

Ling squeezed her stomach muscles tightly and stopped breathing. The grumbling sound in her stomach was relentless. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten properly. Her share of food went to her son.
Ling pulled out the plastic bag that she had tucked in the drainpipe. The bag was filled with lily bulbs. She checked that no one was looking. She placed the bulbs into the mortar, pounded them and added a few drops of water from a rusty food can. She fought to control the shaking of her ice-cold hand as she poured the liquid into a plastic bottle. She washed her hands so much that they turned white and wrinkly. Ling felt nauseous. Was it the wind in her empty stomach or the toxin that made her sick? She threw up.
Ling walked into the house holding the last of the crispy spinach that she had cut from her garden. She would have to wait for spring to reseed them. As for the winter, she would have to find other ways to get food. At the living room's dining table, her son was doing his homework. Ling walked to him and took a peek at his work.
' When are we eating? My tummy is hurting.' A little sharp face, all crunched up, looking at his mother.
' Very soon, I'm going to cook now. So how was school today?' Ling stroked her son's head.
' I have an excellent on my Maths paper and I might move up a class.' The little boy beamed, looking up at his mother.
'That's very good, your father will be very pleased. Now tidy up and lay the table. Your father is coming home soon. Don't forget to lay matching chopsticks because different lengths means bad luck.'
Her mother-in-law had been nodding off to sleep and was now breathing heavily. Her blood pressure must have been high again, Ling thought. Time for her medication.
In the kitchen Ling poured the last remaining rice out of the sack into the pot and started washing it in the sink, stirring gently with one hand while biting her other fingernails. Her thoughts were with the last sack of rice that was hidden under the bed. It wouldn't last them this winter.
Ling threw some logs into the stove and started the fire. The oven was glowing. The oil in the wok was heating up; she poured the spinach into the wok. The crackling sound of heated oil touching wet vegetables was so loud that it sounded like fire crackers thrown into a tin. She placed the spinach onto two plates of different sizes. To the larger plate she added a sprinkle of soy sauce, the smaller plate was without salt. Ling took the plastic bottle out of her pocket and poured the toxic liquid over the the smaller plate of spinach.
The smell of food woke everyone up, even the old lady. Faces lit up. She placed the larger plate in the middle of the table and the smaller plate in front of her mother-in-law's usual seat. Ling's son cleared his books and helped lay the table with chopsticks and bowls. Ling was helping the frail woman out of the cane chair when she heard her husband walking into the home, a big smile on his face. In his hand, he was holding up eight fishes. The whole family beamed with excitement as if they had won the lottery. They were admiring the fishes. Ling didn't want to know where he got them from. The fish could feed them for many meals. Ling followed her husband into the kitchen to help him clean the fishes. They were discussing how to preserve them for the winter, perhaps by salting and drying them.
If her plan worked, the three of them would have a better chance of surviving this winter and nobody would ever know. Walking out of the kitchen, she saw her son picking the last vegetable off the small plate. Ling yelled. The rice pot smashed on the floor.
