Boston-area resident Carol Spaulding, 58, suffered from debilitating, daily migraines from the age of 11. Not only were they excruciating, but they caused dizziness, facial numbness, and finally led to severe depression and the loss of her job. Years of consulting with medical doctors and rounds of anti-depressant medicines did not help.
Out of ideas and desperate for relief, Spaulding consulted with Dr. Basmaa Ali, MBA '09, founder of Zanjabee, a private integrative medicine and primary care clinic in Woburn, Mass.
"I had never heard of integrative medicine … I went in to see her and she spent an hour with me. I changed providers that day," Spaulding says.
Ali suggested weekly acupuncture and massage therapy, and prescribed some herbal treatments. After some time, the headaches became less frequent. Next, Ali recommended Spaulding purge all processed foods from her diet — a move that eradicated the headaches almost completely.
"She didn't tell me I 'had' to do anything … It was, 'Let's try this and see if it works.' I think she is a wonderful combination of Western and Eastern medicine," Spaulding says.
Ancient traditions
Ali's route to becoming a medical doctor and business owner began with her childhood in Pakistan, where Ayurveda, or traditional Indian medicine, is woven into daily life. Ali became a doctor, specifically a hospitalist, a hospital-based physician who treats admitted hospital patients only. But she became frustrated when she realized she could not "fix" chronically ill patients. "They came in; we patched them up, and then we sent them out into the world. We knew for sure they'd be coming back," she says.
Business school beckoned, Ali says, because she wanted to learn more about how to "get things done," although it wasn't until her second year at MIT Sloan that she considered opening her own practice. "I used to daydream about a place where you did both lifestyle and medicine, and at that point in time, they hadn't integrated into one thing," she says. After some initial hesitation, Ali forged ahead. "I thought, 'What's to stop me from doing this?' The worst thing that will happen will be that I fail. But if there's one thing that Sloan does very well, is that it removes your fear of failure. You fail? Big deal? You dust yourself off and start something new."
After taking a system dynamics course with Professor John Sterman, Ali was inspired by his teaching. Ali says that Sterman demonstrated, among other things, that "good solutions strike a balance between short-term needs and long-term goals," and that "there are no perfect solutions that provide both immediate gratification and long-term stability." He also taught her not to be afraid of tackling hard problems.
Changing the world, one patient at a time
Following a period of research and consideration, Ali decided to open a clinic that would look at the patient as a whole person. The practice uses tools ranging from Western medicine to lifestyle modifications, Ayurveda, acupuncture and massage therapy to provide customized solutions for each patient.
The clinic's name, Zanjabee, is a play on the word zanjabeel, which loosely translates to "elixir of ginger," an herbal remedy that has been used as medicine for more than 1,000 years. "Today, there is a lot of cutting-edge research on ginger. We look at older traditions, but we also look at what's cutting edge in medicine today," Ali says.
Two students from the MIT School of Architecture and Planning helped her design the 3,500-foot, open-plan, light-filled practice, which opened in 2010 in Woburn, Mass., and is affiliated with nearby Winchester Hospital.
The practice has been growing steadily, but one of the biggest challenges for Ali has been getting the word out to prospective patients. She hired classmate Nadia Minter, MBA '09, to assist in a part-time marketing role.
Both Minter and Ali agreed that word-of-mouth marketing has been most effective approach so far. Currently, Minter is putting together a direct mail campaign and is looking into community sponsorships with local sports clubs and parenting groups. She says her MIT Sloan MBA gave her marketing and business development knowledge, as well as an ability to think about creative ways to engage prospective patients.
Messaging has been a hurdle, says Minter. "Zanjabee offers several services such as primary care, acupuncture, Ayurveda, massage, and yoga, but it's the customized combination of treatments and close collaboration of Zanjabee practitioners that makes it so different from other clinics that offer just primary care, or just acupuncture, or just massage," she says. That difference can also make it more challenging to come up with a simple marketing slogan.
Another marketing challenge is the fact that some people are skeptical about the integrative medicine approach, although Ali notes that the practice, with its staff of seven practitioners, is definitely not opposed to Western medicine. "We really believe in Western medicine. We just recognize its limitations. We really want to find the best solution for the patient," she says.

Behind your ears, in dead of night, cultivates your fears, unearths your fright.
Can you hear the trumpet song?
Few notes of tune, you follow the sorrow, pitied by moon, won't last till 'morrow.
The martyrdom won't be for long.
A sunstroke prairie of wheatgrass and red-yellow-red tents attracts a crowd of the inquisitive and judgemental. The red noses and painted smiles soak up the rays, and as day comes to gloam behind the canola, a new presence draws the shadows from our minds and attracts all walks of life that thrive when their phantoms are most defined. Deformities within barred train carts can pull a sneer from behind any man's teeth. Past the money-pocketing posters and maze of all things horror show, rears a tent most spectacular. Magnificent feats and daredevil stunts turn a greedy face stupefied. Grotesque disfigurement and absence of abidance turns a stupefied face vain. Backside the ruckus, a shy man plays a sad tune.
A trumpet, is what he puckers his lips around, and he tickles the three piston valves at such a rate, one would not expect the song to be heavy-hearted.
As a shy man, none have ever witnessed the sound of his voice. Some say he never had one. He never partook in any merriment or festivities; he stood behind the train carts and exhibits and swayed to his sad songs. They called him the Trumpet Man.
Once every month or so, a curious mind would follow the sorrow carrying on the winds and lend an ear to the Trumpet Man, and this would satisfy his soul with such bliss and cheer that his eyes would gleam with gratitude and his fingers twiddled a new song, a laughing-bliss of flurried notes. Smiles dawned that brightened the eyes of the hungry and softened their hearts enough to care for an, altogether, new type of freak. He knew, the Trumpet Man, that their appetite would not last till morning, so he served meals of classical songs; composed songs that lingered in their guts to maybe appease them just enough for them to return for a second course. Never did it deliver their company any further. Diners never bestowed their company to a dish unless they could melt it down into a momento; a knife, perhaps. The Trumpet Man didn't mind, for he longed for moments like these.
Days came to pass and less people would sniff out the sad tune, then less people would be engorged by the sounds he crafted and his prowess would remain untouched, unappreciated. The sad songs became sadder and the periods between these meals would be longer up to entire years where not a single guest had come to listen.
The Trumpet Man expired soon after. A rather cold day in early November froze his breath as he posed on the ground, huddled against the painted wood of a train cart, thawing the frosted wheatgrass beneath him. The circus and freak acts moved onto another town and the cart that supported his spine was taken, leaving his body slouched in the damp, littered, grassland.
That was then, and then is then, not now. Now, the Trumpet man waits on the secluded brick streets of city blocks. He plays the tunes just the same and those that smell the heavy heart of the Trumpet Man will come to find him, or what was once him, webbed with rot to the side of a building, his fingers moaning through his trumpet. These songs are different, however. If one seeps in through your skin and reaches your bones, you are helpless but to pursue the melody to the feeder, being the entity that howls these songs. He won't let you forget him, no, not this time. It will forevermore be an itch in the back of your mind, an itch, then a cut, then a bullet hole as it grows ever louder and louder and your eyes become blurry with vibration and your mind a static void all except for this song and it will never end, never, not until, well, not until you kill yourself. That's all he ever wanted, someone to listen.
In your eyes, and back of your mind, pleasure to your cries, in melody you wind.
I hear the trumpet song.

With at least a foot of snow expected to hit Peoria on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Creighton Bluejays and the assigned Missouri Valley Conference officials will be arriving here this afternoon for Tuesday night's game at Carver Arena against Bradley.
"We were scheduled to leave tonight after practice," CU coach Greg McDermott said this morning. "Then we bumped it up to 4 and now we're leaving at noon. We're working with Bradley to try to get a practice time for this afternoon."
McDermott said there is freezing rain in Omaha now, but he said the team's charter flight is not expected to have any problems departing.
"We'll get in there," he said. "It might just be the two teams there, but we'll be there."
The three officials have informed BU personnel they are also getting here today. The crew is Gerry Pollard of Moscow Mills, Mo., Verne Harris of Denver and Mark Whitehead of Denham Springs, La.
At this point, there is no change in the game time or anything else for Tuesday night. BU sports information director Bobby Parker said the department would discuss any contingency plans during their regular Monday staff meeting.

Artistic Gender Bending
Friend and local Hiratsuka watercolor artist Kazuyoshi Kinoshita took the bait to illustrate me – the hook: as a female.
He did mutter something about "offending my artistic sensibilities and taking no legal responsibility" which I of course ignored.
For a quick sketch, friends say a likeness emerged.
I am still absorbing the image. Thanks Kino!

Avison Young opened its South Florida offices in 2012 with 30 members joining from Flagler Real Estate Services. The Fort Lauderdale office offers a full suite of services including agency leasing, tenant representation, capital markets, project management and property management, with relationships across the country.
The Fort Lauderdale agency leasing team represents more than 2.5 million square feet of office buildings in some of the county's most vibrant markets. Fort Lauderdale's capital markets team is a part of the Florida Capital Markets Group which completed more than $500 million worth of transactions in 2016 for some of the largest global owners and operators of real estate, as well as local and entrepreneurial owners and developers. Property Management and accounting services are headquartered out of the Fort Lauderdale office and have grown their footprint to 13 million square feet under management throughout the state.
Whether you are an owner, investor, occupier or developer, we deliver results aligned with your strategic business objectives, supporting real estate initiatives that add value and build a competitive advantage for your organization.
Area Overview
In addition to offering an outstanding lifestyle that is second to none, Broward County also boasts one of the largest and most diverse labor forces in the state of Florida, along with a growing and increasingly diversified talent pool. In addition, it offers easy access to both domestic and international markets, including excellent access to Latin America and the Caribbean; world-class educational opportunities, and a business-friendly government. Broward County is home to more than 200 corporate and regional headquarters, including American Express, AutoNation, Citrix Systems, Costa Cruise Lines, DHL Solutions Americas, Embraer, Hotwire Communications, Huizenga Holdings, Microsoft, Spirit Airlines, and Stemtech International. Fort Lauderdale has been named one of the top 25 best places to live and as having one of the top 10 downtowns in the U.S. by Livability.com, and one of the country's "100 Best Places to Live and Launch a Business" by CNN Money.
Healthy local and statewide economic factors continue to fuel strong leasing activity in Broward County. Demand for office space remains vigorous, with healthy net absorption in all submarkets and consistent rental rate growth in the most sought-after areas. Developers are increasingly interested in areas close to the urban core for infill redevelopment, and local economic factors continue to fuel healthy leasing activity. A competitive investment market persists in Broward County and developers are capitalizing on the opportunity to develop high quality office space, most notably in Southwest Broward. As market conditions continue to tighten, new construction continues in moderation in both urban and suburban areas, and the county is expected to experience continued positive momentum in 2017.
An expanding labor force, supported by new jobs in the transportation and logistics sectors, has positioned Broward County's industrial market for continued growth. A relative imbalance between tenant demand and new product has also driven an active construction market, and rising rental rates and a decline in overall vacancy will continue to pressure developers to move forward with several planned projects. Leasing activity has been supported by demand for quality space, most notably from wholesale distributors and construction firms, and that trend is expected to continue in 2017. Moving forward, a continued strengthening in market fundamentals is anticipated, while sustained economic growth, coupled with high demand and low supply, could drive additional future development.
Economic expansion and declining unemployment are fueling the retail sector's growth in Broward County. Market fundamentals continued to improve as demonstrated by declining vacancy rates and rental rate growth, and there is a considerable amount of new retail product scheduled for delivery in 2017. A continued tightening in market conditions and sustained economic growth are expected to persist and should promote healthy leasing activity and incremental gains in rental rates.
Investment interest continued at a steady pace and significant capital continued to chase deals in Broward County throughout 2016. During the trailing 12 months ending December 2016, there were 156 sales of properties $2.5 million and higher, totalling $2.4 billion and just over 12 million square feet. The most significant office sale in 2016 was Deutsche Bank's purchase of Las Olas City Centre in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. This trophy property closed in the third quarter and sold for $220 million, or $539 psf. Investment sales during 2016 primarily involved private and institutional investors, which together accounted for 73% of all sales.
Florida Real Estate Weekly Snapshot June 29, 2020July 6, 2020Amazon continues to dominate industrial leasing along the I-4 corridor. The e-commerce giant just acquired 82.3 acres in Temple Terrace for $26.4 million, or $321,000 per acre. A city official confirmed there is a planned development on that site with Seefried Properties, which is a preferred developer for Amazon. Amazon has also signed a deal to lease the newly developed 425,550-sf I-4 Logistics Center in Seffner.
Florida Real Estate Weekly Snapshot June 15, 2020June 22, 2020The Metro Orlando Defense Task Force is facilitating a coordinated regional response to guidelines set by the U.S. Air Force for the selection of a permanent location for U.S. Space Command headquarters. Currently based in Colorado, SPACECOM'S new headquarters site selection process begins this summer and the announcement of the final selection is expected in January 2021. Orlando is well positioned for this opportunity as it has been the epicenter of the U.S.-led space race for over 60 years now.
Florida Real Estate Weekly Snapshot June 8, 2020June 15, 2020The industrial sector continues to exhibit strength during the pandemic. There has been a particular increase in activity along the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando. At the end of May, HCA Healthcare signed a massive lease for 713,000 sf at a newly completed speculative development in Lakeland. Home Depot is also planning its third warehouse on 65 acres in Hillsborough County.

(What I think I look like — based on the template at imadeface)
(What I really look like)
On the runup to my birthday yesterday, I had planned to do two things I've never done before: Post a selfie and write a long post on what I've learned in the past, ahem, *mumble mumble* years of being on the planet and put this up on my birthday. Of course, I wasn't able to do so yesterday, because, life (a.k.a., deadlines) got in the way. Also because, I was unsure about the selfies — I am not one for posting photos of myself online. There's just something terribly self-indulgent and self-important to me about taking my own photo and posting it online for all the world to see. I am not one to call attention to myself; I'd rather others do it for me, haha! But in this age of self-promotion, people no longer look askance at you for blatant self-love. In fact, it's expected. So why am I coming around to the idea of the selfie? Well, for one, it's terribly hypocritical of me to say posting my picture is self-indulgent while I have a whole blog devoted to my own preoccupations. And two, it kind of makes sense to track what I look like over time. I sometimes look at myself in the mirror and see time make inroads on my face overnight! So, inspired by my friend Alexis' link on FB about this project, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon this year.

Walking a Fine Line German President Gauck Impresses on Israel Visit
Seven minutes. That's how long German President Joachim Gauck stood bent over the guestbook at the Israeli Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem on Tuesday, ignoring the sweltering midday sun.
When he finally finished writing, he slipped his pen into his pocket and began to read his entry aloud. "If you have been here before, you should come back," he intoned. "Initially there is a flood of emotion, horror at the extent of evil, sympathy, empathy, mourning -- because of the fate of a single child or because of the millions of innocent victims."
The reading came at the end of Gauck's hour-long tour through the memorial on Tuesday, part of his four-day state visit to Israel. It is a trip that requires a significant amount of diplomatic expertise. Prior to his departure, many predicted it would be a litmus test for the new German president, who was inaugurated in late March after the scandal-laden departure of his predecessor Christian Wulff.
After all, German-Israeli relations are not without difficulties these days. A recent survey conduct by the Forsa research institute found that 58 percent of Germans consider Israel to be foreign. The German-Jewish publicist Michael Wolffsohn recently summed up the situation in comments to the daily Die Welt, saying that "the German-Israeli friendship is limited to a tiny portion of the political and media classes." The recent scandal over the Israel poem by German Nobel laureate Günter Grass, which was highly critical of Israeli threats to attack Iran, highlighted the difficulties that many Germans have with embracing Israel.
Not Happy with Progress on Peace
The challenge has always been that of balancing Germany's historical guilt for perpetrating the Holocaust with the more recently developed sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians. Chancellor Angela Merkel has walked this fine line with mixed results. In 2010, she declared that Israel's security was "a part of Germany's raison d'etre," a comment for which she was heavily criticized domestically.
She has also, however, made it clear to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that she is not happy with his progress on peace. When Netanyahu called Merkel in February 2011 to communicate his displeasure with Germany's vote in favor of a Palestinian proposal to condemn Israeli settlement construction on the West Bank, Merkel lost her patience. "How dare you!" she responded according to the Israeli daily Haaretz. "You are the one who disappointed us. You haven't made a single step to advance peace."
Gauck, by all accounts, has thus far had more success in his attempt to walk the same tightrope. Prior to the state visit, Dieter Graumann, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, had voiced his hope that "hopefully the president will contribute to a fairer and more understanding approach to Israel." Following his Yad Vashem appearance, Graumann said that Gauck was very much on the right track.
Even members of his entourage have been surprised with the apparent ease that Gauck, who has little experience on the global political stage, has navigated the difficult terrain of German-Israeli relations. His message has been clear: Germany stands firmly at the side of Israel, Germany supports a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict, and Germany hopes to avoid a military confrontation with Iran.
A Maestro
Nowhere was that message better visible than at his welcoming banquet on Monday evening. When Israeli President Shimon Peres assured Gauck that Israel was at the "zenith" of the process towards realizing the two-state solution with the Palestinians, Gauck gently countered that "only courageous steps will make it possible to overcome the stasis in the peace process."
In consultations with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Tuesday, Gauck criticized Israel's settlement policies. Yet he also told journalists that "Germany should be the absolute last country to turn away from friendship and solidarity with Israel."
Gauck still has several touchy meetings to go, though. On Wednesday afternoon, he is scheduled to sit down with Netanyahu. On Thursday, a visit to Ramallah for talks with the Palestinian Authority is planned.
But even before he left, the German president said that the success of his visit would depend on striking the right tone. So far, he has been a maestro.

Yes, I said that the female mind (and brain) is structured differently. At no point did I use the word "inferior".
I wasn't attacking your particular argument at all, in fact it was actually this post that really got me on this train of thought. I do think it's a fairly common opinion held by a lot of men, though.
Likewise, the brain provides a space in which the mind can work, and the mind can change the chemical properties of the brain.
There is some evidence to say that the brain is not actually required for the mind to operate. People have reported having NDEs (Near Death Experience) even when their EEG was flat line.
I think any study concluding that measured statistical differences between men and women's cognitive ability implies that the minds work differently is hardly scientific. It could still very easily be explained by conditioning of the tested subjects.

Supporting all phases of
a business' life-cycle.
Create a strong foundation to support your business as it changes.
Building strong businesses from startup to exit.
Start up
When starting a business, one of the first tasks you need to undertake is to determine the right legal structure for the company. To make a fully informed decision, you must consider both the short- and long-term goals of your business, personal financial circumstances of the owners, and your exit strategy. These factors along with other criteria including ownership (e.g. founders, investors, and/or employees), company and office locations, management, liability protection, and tax implications for both the business and the individual owners play into which entity type is appropriate for the owners. Usually, there is no "right" answer, but you need to balance all the issues to maximize efficiency and liability protection while minimizing taxes prior to the business formation.
A key component of the start-up phase includes documentation of ownership and what each owner is contributing in exchange for his or her share of ownership (e.g. cash, services, or physical or intangible property). Where intellectual property (IP such as trademarks or copyrights) is contributed to the business or developed by the business, you must ensure proper protections for IP through legal avenues, such as registrations, contract protections, and licensing agreements. If passive or "silent" owners are involved, you must also consider whether any Federal or state securities laws apply.
Because relationships create the greatest liability in business, documenting these key business relationships with formal contracts helps to spell out roles, responsibilities, and expectations—and insulates the company from risk. Key written contracts include owner agreements (e.g. Shareholder/Operating/Partnership Agreements), employment and contractor agreements, supplier and vendor agreements, leases, and website agreements (e.g. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy). A long term succession plan should be considered and estate planning documents should also be reviewed and updated to reflect business ownership.
As a company establishes itself and grows, new paths present themselves. These paths may take the form of new geographical regions or channels (e.g., international expansion, retail stores, or Internet presence); new partners, joint ventures, or strategic alliances; and/or business mergers or acquisitions. Each of these strategies comes with risks and opportunities in your relationships with customers, employees, strategic partners, joint venture partners, investors, and vendors.
The most critical aspect of moving forward in the growth phase is to clearly document key business relationships in written contracts. Contracts set forth roles, responsibilities, and expectations in a relationship and offer significant protection against liability that may arise in these relationships. Key terms, such as limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, assignability of rights, non-solicitation/non-compete, and choice of law and venue, define the "rules of engagement" and reduce the likelihood of escalation in disputes and litigation.
Growing companies also find that they have created or are creating Intellectual Property (IP such as trademarks and copyrights) that is critical to their competitive advantage and value. You should take proactive steps to register this Intellectual Property and keep it inside the company, thereby retaining its value to the business. The first step you should take is to determine what Intellectual Property exists in your company in the areas of trademark, trade dress, trade secret copyrights, and patents, and then pinpoint the best ways to protect each of these forms of Intellectual Property through legal registrations or contracts. Often, ownership of Intellectual Property rights is omitted from key contracts with employees, contractors, and suppliers, resulting in the company's loss of valuable rights and Intellectual Property assets.
The growth phase is also a great time to consider your current business operations and the associated legal needs for the company's future. Providing a roadmap for the company based on your business strategy and exit plan, an audit enables you to prioritize the legal steps required to build value into your business for the future. Business owners should also ensure a clear buy-sell agreement and estate plan (wills, power of attorney) is in place for the owners.
In the maintenance phase, your business has reached a certain level of maturity and stability. You have developed key, long-standing relationships. You have leveraged critical intellectual property to provide a competitive advantage. Plus, you have policies and procedures, as well as employment manuals, to drive a productive workplace.
Companies in this phase often find themselves on the defense, fending off competitors that seek to take advantage of their brand name/trademark, employees, and customer base. At the same time, business owners continue to seek new relationships that will strategically grow the value of the company as the owners develop a succession plan and exit plan for the future. You might be cultivating key employees or executives who will purchase the business, contemplating a merger or acquisition involving a competitor, or licensing or developing new technologies or Intellectual Property to enter new markets. In this phase, it is also important to revisit your current contractor, leasing, and employee relationships to ensure they are working for the company in the best manner possible.
Exit Planning
Exit planning is the culmination of all the previous business phases, allowing you, the business owner, to capitalize on your hard work. However, exit planning should not be thought of as an individual transaction but rather as a process that leads to a transaction. The process involves three primary components:
- Succession planning — Who will step into your role as owner of and employee in the business if you permanently depart tomorrow, next week or next year?
- Retirement planning – What are your retirement needs and how does the business fit into those requirements?
- Estate planning – What will happen to the business upon your death?
As you begin to think about transferring or selling your business, you should consider succession planning, exit planning and estate planning, as well as corporate maintenance and documentation. Getting your company in order with corporate counsel before you sell, with organized contracts, policies and procedures, protected assets (both tangible and intangible), and clean financials, will result in a more efficient due diligence and transition process, whether the buyer is a family member, employee, competitor, or other third party.
As experienced business owners and entrepreneurs, we know what it's like to own and run a business. You need a partner as committed to your goals as you are. You need personalized, attentive corporate legal counsel. And you need it all at a predictable cost. That's how we work at Equinox Business Law Group.

Xampp Control Panel having two sets of configs is a bad idea. At least they should work together.
I changed the port numbers for Apache in the httpd.conf & hhtps-ssl.conf files (known this years ago) and Apache couldn't start and error showed it tried to use 80 and 443. What?
Is it not reading those config files? Then I noticed the other Config button and the 'Service and Port Settings' and they had their own port numbers settings. Changed them. Apache still couldn't start but it didn't mention port 80 and 443 anymore. Just it stopped unexpectedly. Log files are empty. Windows event log has nothing about Apache. What the hell is going on?
After some mocking I found out the port numbers needed to match in the different config settings.
Sheesh. Why doesn't XAMPP's config setting change the other setting files as well? Also the error message should indicate clearly the port settings mismatch. Annoying.

Things I miss about France
Since I can no longer afford to travel due to many problems.It doesn't stop remembering my favorite moments or when I learned how important it is to say hello and goodbye
when shopping. Something we, in America,, should adapt. In Tro, A uville, at a favorite bistro,a beautil french woman sitting next to me, showed me how to eat moules.
use an empty hinged mussel shell as a PINCHER, iN pARIS, on the street a young Parisean showed mr how she put up her hair without pins. For me, a treaseared
tip as I am allergic to hair pins.
I am sorry you are unable to travel. France is so special to us, so many memories...lovely to hear about yours! May you be able to travel soon!!!
Feeling a little sentimental? Me, too, like these days when I also think I will not be able to travel much, if any, in the future. I do enjoy my sweet memories, although I try to keep that reverie to a minimum so as not to make me sad in general.
Sigh. I'm feeling the same. Yesterday I was looking up some information for a friend who's going to London and Paris soon so I was skimming over my long London thread from last fall. It made me so homesick for my time there. As I've recently lost my job, I don't think travel (except for short, local jaunts) will be in my near future. If I get a job, I won't have the time off, and if I don't get a job, I won't have the money.
Come stay with us goddess!!!! You are welcome anytime!!
I have to agree about saying hello and goodbye, the French are so polite and I love that.
We also learned to slow down---a glass of wine, a cafe creme---take your time, enjoy. Buy your fresh bread and pastry every day, and go to the place where they squeeze the oranges for juice right in front of you.
In the shops, I love that they take care of you----you fold the scarf this way, Oh Madame, this necklace, this bracelet.
I learned to walk in Paris and enjoy the surroundings or take the Metro. We live in a "car" society---3 blocks to the store, drive.
In the smaller towns we loved the enthusiasm and interest we felt from the French---where are you from? Are you enjoying France? etc.
I don't know how much longer we will be able to travel, but when I dream, I dream of France.
Thank you for this thread, it really lifted my spirits. =D>
Hi jamikins,
Well, you never know. One day you might come home from work to find me sitting on your doorstep!
I feel your pain, cigale, as I've been too "poor" (and I realize that's a relative term) to go back to France for 2 years, even though I have a house there.
I had a brainstroke a few weeks ago, though. I have this couple - two hardworking, "poor" I suppose, African-Americans who have worked their butts off for me for the past 5 years here in and around DC...cleaning out my parents' house, moving me out of my VA house, lawn work, helping us clean out our DC house this past few weeks and moving to our new place and more. They are such decent, wonderful people, and all their lives, both of them have harbored a desire to go to France (something we just discovered after sitting around with them one night after a particularly heavy-duty moving day). And they both just went nuts when I gave them a picture book of the Dordogne.
So I am going to take them to France. I'm going to pay their airfare (next February or early March) and train fare and expenses while there. And they are going to clean out my French house and get everything spic and span and up and running again and clear out the "North Forty" and all the grounds...and I'll have a place that's livable or rentable or sellable. And they will have had the experience of a lifetime.
I'm going to do all this with a bit of an inheritance from my dad, who loved that place in France as if it were his own. I think he would be really glad that I would spend his money to take two complete neophytes to France with me (but really hard-working ones), and African-Americans at that (we don't have a lot of those in the Dordogne, and that may be an issue, too - not for me).
The older I get, the more I want to make "presents" to other people who have been good to me. This couple has been so amazingly good to me, I feel I owe them the world. I'll give them France, as it's all I can afford.
This will be the trip of a lifetime. Imagine if you are a regular traveler to France and you are hosting two complete neophytes -we'll be fine at my house, which is in the middle of nowhere and I can deal with the neighbors, etc., but two days in Paris or so...I'll have to don my tourguide gear
That is just wonderful StCirq.
What a brilliant, warm and generous idea, StCirq. I hope all goes well for you and this special couple.
Cigalechante, your memories have helped so many. I am sorry they cannot be repeated just yet, but it is so nice that you value the experiences you have had and still have the ability to treasure and recall the highlights at will. I fear for the Alzheimer's that is inherent in my family, which steals past, present and future. You are fortunate in your ability to re-experience those good times in your mind and heart -- and we are in turn lucky that you are so sweet to share your knowledge with us. I hope that someday you will be able to visit France again in both body and soul. Life has a funny way of giving back just when you thought all had been taken away.
I am sorry you can no longer travel. That is one of my greatest fears. As it is, I'm sad that I will not be able to go to Paris this year $$, but next year should be fine.I hope.
Could you please share how you put up your hair without hair pins?? I'd love to know that trick, thanks.
gather you hair in back. twist it to the ends,
lift it up making a circle and put the ends through.
the ends will be sticking out.
I remember so many of your fabulous posts/reports over the years. Isn't it wonderful how an image, a smell, or a sound can bring back the whole experience is a matter of seconds?!
We are still traveling because my husband works in Europe, but at 68 we know it is a matter of time, perhaps just a few years, before our life situation will change and we will be be "mentally traveling" more than making any actual trips. But we'll always have the memories of all the great and interesting people we ineracted with, just as you point out.
Thanks for making us stop and appreciate the lucky life we've had!!!
Today we took South African friends to St Genies - a stunning town full of lauze roofs, and a good Sunday market. Bought foie gras, asparagus, cheese, cherries, and more , including a nut cake that was guaranteed to last 3 weeks. We are thinking of going back to complain about the fact that it didn't last longer than one lunch!
Then to St Crepin, a picture book chateau, and just past it, the most amazing poppy fields we have seen in years. Back home to participate in the 8 May memorial service in our village, followed by a glass of bubbly. Lunch on the terrace in the sun. (We're having the most amazing weather, which is unfortunately leading up to drought over most of France, but some days are wonderful.)
We dealt with the travel issue by moving here. Highly recommended.
I'm sorry for whatever is keeping you from traveling, Mimi. It too will be more difficult for me without DH. However, you and I have such lovely memories. I'm glad DH and I traveled when it wasn't quite so expensive or time-consuming. Hope you can get some consolation from that as well. Keep sharing here on Fodors!
My husband's health has probably put and end to our travels. Even tho he' still planning trips!
He always made elaborate photo albums of our major trips....... "to look at when I'm too old to travel..." So far, he hasn't been looking at the albums.
Who knows.... life is full of surprises ...we all may get another chance.
P.S. I would love to be as generous and sharing as St. Cirq.
cigalechanta and TDudette, perhaps you two should meet and plan a trip. Sharing accommodations makes the trip more affordable and you both seem like real travelers so may be compatible.
St. Cirq - I've done somthing similar twice now. Wonderful idea! You gift will give as much to you to the lucky couple. Truly the example of "it is in giving that we receive".
Mimi, your post is so bittersweet. It's those little things that we remember best, isn't it? I'm still working, although thinking about retiring. My husband is retired (although he works full-time) and more and more I think we should take advantage of the time we still have to travel while we still can. You never know what's around the corner.
St Cirq, this will truly be a trip of a lifetime for you - and your friends. I hope you will let us be a part of that trip.

Funding preschool education smart use of tax dollars
What business is it of the government to fund high-quality preschool and child care?
Good business.
A study done by Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman concluded that investing in quality preschool programs is a better bet than investing on the stock market, yielding economic returns between 7 percent and 10 percent. Can your mutual fund do that?
And according to a recent study by the National Institutes of Health, a dollar invested in quality preschool programs for low-income children generates $4 to $11 worth of economic benefits shared by everyone.
Far from being a form of welfare or entitlement spending, funding preschool education is a smart use of tax dollars and something progressives and conservatives alike should support. But unfortunately, state funding for quality preschool and child care has decreased dramatically during the Great Recession, even in California.
A newly released report from the California Budget Project found that the state cut spending on preschool and child care by 40 percent since 2008, which amounts to 110,000 fewer spaces for children in child-care and preschool programs.
The immediate effects of these cuts are felt disproportionately by low-income families, but the long-term consequences are felt by all of us.
Lack of access to affordable and quality child care and preschool hurts the economy in the short run, since parents find it harder to hold down a job while also taking care of their children, and welfare-to-work programs are thrown into disarray, stopping welfare recipients from getting off the dole and into paying jobs. But it also will have lasting effects for years to come, in lower high school graduation rates, greater dependence on welfare and other government programs, and higher crime rates — all of which means more government spending, less tax revenue, and a drag on the economic recovery.
California's failure to invest in early childhood education also is a failure to invest in a future labor force of highly skilled workers, the lifeblood of the state's IT and biotech industries. It's become fashionable to call young children "little scientists" because of the way they conduct experiments on the world around them while playing. Preschool programs can build on this innate aptitude for science and help kids develop the critical math and reading skills they will need when they tackle the STEM classes (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in middle and high school.
The conservative Cato Institute has long argued that the immigration cap on highly skilled workers should be increased because the United States has a deficit of workers proficient in STEM fields. But we wouldn't need to import scientists from abroad if we were doing a better job of educating them here at home — and that education begins in the all-important first five years of life.
In his 2012 inaugural address, President Obama made the seemingly bold proposal to fund universally available preschool, and his proposal was promptly declared dead on arrival in Washington. Those critics who weren't spouting absurd conspiracy theories about it being a socialist plot to brainwash the minds of our young argued that we simply can't afford to fund universal preschool.
I would argue that we cannot afford not to, as our global competitors are busy showing us.
For though Washington may have given up on universal preschool, and even blue California is cutting preschool funding, don't think for a moment that other countries haven't wised up to the benefits of funding quality preschool — and I'm not just talking about places like France or Norway. China, our biggest competitor in the global marketplace, has recently announced a major push to fund early childhood programs, pledging to build new schools, increase teacher pay, and provide subsidies for low-income families to help them access preschool programs.
The education policy of the economic juggernaut that is modern China is something we ignore at our own peril. And the economic returns — to say nothing of the social benefits — of high-quality child care and preschool education are boons to the economy we can no longer afford to leave laying on the table.

Synopsis for Justice Society of America: "Dreams of Madness!"
A disguised Brain Wave deceives the Justice Society of America into thinking they are taking part in an experiment to unlock the potential of Man's unconscious through dreaming, but instead the Brain Wave induces dreams in the Justice Society members which are specifically designed to drive them mad, leaving the Brain Wave free to carry out his crimes.
The Hawkman dreams he is in a land where birds are threatened by the constant warring of the ice and fire people. He tries to fight against both sides, but is battered by the hot, the cold, and the wind until he is driven crazy, finally believing that he is a thermometer. In Doctor Mid-Nite's dream, he enters a land of huge, civilized germs. He immediately helps a man escape study by the germs, then sets out to kill the germ people with medicine. When the medicine fails to work, Dr. Mid-Nite is captured by the germs, but the germs that touch him immediately die. Dr. Mid-Nite is reduced to tears, believing he is no longer human, but merely a living sickness. Green Lantern finds a group of scientists observing stars, which are really just the sparks from a child's sparkler. Gangsters steal the sparkler and Green Lantern struggles to capture them, because his power ring is not working properly. He accidentally turns them into floating balloons and captures them, and the scientists convince him he is a sun, and the balloon gangsters are his planets. Flash's dream finds him in a land of talking animals and human slaves. All of the animals constantly ridicule Flash, but Flash insists that the humans should have rights. To win the rights for the humans, a race is proposed. During the race, strange occurrences keep happening, preventing Flash from running and causing the animals to continue mocking him. After losing the race, the animals label Flash a laughing stock, and he agrees that he is. In the Atom's dream the rain and sun cause him to grow and shrink, preventing him from stopping a bank robbery. When he does return to normal size, he can't throw a punch because he's full of water, and he knows he is no longer a man, but a sponge. Johnny Thunder dreams he is in the land of the "already-equipped", a place where everyone in born with the tools of their profession as part of their bodies, i.e. a painter with brushes for hands and a palette for a face. Instead of finding it strange, Johnny finds it sensible, and wishes real life was the same. Johnny finds that gangsters have been turning people normal with the help of a magician. He goes after the gangsters, but is completely unable to stop them. He calls on his Thunderbolt, who captures the gangsters and seals the magician in a jar. Johnny is celebrated as a hero, and unlike the other members, he is not driven mad by his dream.
All the JSA members wake up crazy, with the exception of Johnny Thunder, who is uncharacteristically normal and focused. Unable to help his friends recover, he calls for his Thunderbolt. Johnny suggests that they hide and figure out what the Brain Wave is up to. After learning of the Brain Wave's plan, Johnny deals with Brain Wave's gang, while the Thunderbolt rouses the rest of the Justice Society. The Atom knocks the Brain Wave unconscious, knocking him into Johnny, who takes a blow to the head that returns him to his usual self.
- Reprinted in All-Star Comics Archives Vol. 7.
- This issue was originally slated to be released as All-Star Comics #24. The chapter intended for Starman was redrawn for Green Lantern. A new chapter was written for Flash to replace the Spectre's chapter.
- No trivia.

Steve Baxter Dallas Apartment Specialist Steve Baxter Dallas Real Estate Investor 7529 Stonecrest Drive, Dallas, Texas 75254 214-549-0440 http://www.stevebaxterrealestateinvestor.com [email protected] Steve Baxter Dallas Multi Family Investment Expert Steve Baxter has well over 40 years of experience in the real estate business in the Dallas - Fort Worth area and other large metropolitan areas in Texas. He has handled the acquisition, rehabilitation, management, and sale of approximately $400 million value of single family, condominium, multifamily, land, and office properties. Steve Baxter Dallas Steve was active in Young Life and Fellowship of Christian Athletes in both his junior and senior years. Steve was chosen to the Superintendent's Council as a senior. Steve has worked in the real estate market in Texas Dining Room Table Sets For Sale since 1977. He owns Oakwood Property Company. Steve earned his real estate Broker's License in 1978. He acquired his first quadplex in 1979 for $42,000 with a fellow seminary student. This is where he started to learn how to manage and rehabilitate property. Steve Baxter Dallas Steve somehow survived the two real estate crashes which drove many investors out of the real estate business: namely the late 80's Savings and Loan banking crash and real estate depression, and, the 2008 subprime crisis. Steve Baxter Dallas Multi Family Turnaround Specialist Steve Baxter has been an active leader in youth ministry in the Dallas area for 45 years and had Young Life Clubs at various high schools. He was on the staff of Fellowship Bible Church as the Youth Director and leader of the Men's Ministry for 13 years. Steve and his wife, Mireya, attend Country Fellowship Church in Richardson Texas. His two sons, Brennan Baxter and Andrew Baxter, go to Texas Tech University, and are very active in the Brothers Under Christ Fraternity. Steve Baxter Dallas Real Estate Investor Steve is famous for this quote: "I believe in the circle of life. The most important purpose I have is to be the very best father I can be to my two sons, to help train, develop, and love on them always!" As a junior on the basketball team, Andrew Baxter knew he was not going to get to play much at all so he decided he wished to be the best teammate on the bench. He encouraged the whole bench to completely support the players and be cheerleaders for them. He encouraged all the bench to "go crazy" for the players on the court. It made a huge change in the basketball team spirit and likely contributed to the fact that the team reached the playoffs for the first time in many years. Steve Baxter Dallas Multi Family Investment Expert Having such good recollections of his own high school days certainly gives Steve vicarious satisfaction in seeing Andrew do so well. Andrew Baxter had seldom seen so many enthusiastic Christians. While many college students view their college years as time to indulge themselves in more parties , Andrew Baxter enjoys the deeper, more satisfying learning what it really means to be a Christian, to belong to Christ, and to be accountable in fellowship with fellow Christians. Steve Baxter Dallas Real Estate Investor Andrew's view is amazingly similar to that of his Dad, Steve Baxter, and ultimately to that of the Apostle Paul, who wrote, "Everything that was gain to me, I consider to be a loss because of Christ.

He was a comedian for the times: a man whose sense of humor was considered by some to be out-of-bounds, harsh and politically incorrect. For others, Sam Kinison was known as the "Wild Thing of Comedy" with a worldwide reputation as a party animal.
|A Young Sam Kinison
|Kinison with His Brothers and Mother
Samuel Burl Kinison was born on December 8, 1953 to Samuel E. and Marie Kinison and grew up in Peoria, Illinois. Kinison's father was a Pentecostal minister who continually moved from church to church. Sam was the youngest of four brothers, all who followed in their father's footsteps and became Pentecostal preachers.
|The Young Preacher
|Young Comedian
Kinison began his fire and brimstone style of preaching when he was 17 and continued until he was 24. It took a divorce to make him realize that he was not cut out for the ministry, but would be much happier as a stand up comedian. He took to the stage in Houston, Texas and then moved on to L.A. where he developed a cocaine habit that would plague him most of his life.
|Sam & Rodney
|Kinison On Stage
In the summer of 1985, Kinison got his big break on HBO's Rodney Dangerfield's Ninth Annual Young Comedians Special. His irreverent style and screaming outbursts on religion, relationships and drugs was always punctuated with his primal scream. Kinison's brand of comedy was more intense and in-your-face than most comedians were willing to go, but Sam didn't appear to care if the audience liked him or not, which is why audience's loved him.
Kinison had appeared in several films, television specials, and MTV videos, and had been a guest on "Late Night with David Letterman" and a host for "Saturday Night Live." He also appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.
Kinison was married three times; the third marriage had taken place just six days before his death. Most of his stand up material about relationships came from the ups and downs of his first two marriages. Kinison had just reached the peak of his celebrity when his life was cut short.
|Milika and Sam
On April 10, 1992, Kinison and his new wife, Milika Sourir, were headed from California to Laughlin, Nevada where he was scheduled to perform at a sold-out show. Kinison was driving on U.S. Route 95 when his 1989 Trans Am was struck head-on by a pick-up driven by 17-year-old Troy Pierson, who reportedly had been drinking.
Kinison died within moments of the collision. According to his brother, Bill who was following behind Kinison's car with a van-load of equipment, Sam didn't appear to be seriously hurt: he was able to get out of the car and lie down on the pavement. Then in what appeared to bystanders as a conversation with someone, Sam began asking, "Why now? I don't want to die. Why?" After a few seconds Kinison was heard to reply, "Okay, okay, okay …" He died moments later.
|Sam Kinison
Sam Kinison was 38 years old. He is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On his grave marker is the inscription, "In another time and place he would have been called prophet."

Brian McKechnie mentioned our FNB project in a recent TED talk that he gave on how Joburg is like Kate Moss. And Anton posted three interesting photos : a screen-shot of a molecular structure, me and Elize and some stainless steel rings, and a mystery pair of legs with some bits of the structure on a lovely old carpet. It seems like it was all part of some kind of teaser campaign (he didn't tag the legs) and one person's interest was piqued. Hopefully this project will make a supermodel of the building it's intended for, too.
I posted a link to an Archdaily report on the Sagrada Familia because two people told me how wonderful it is looking, one of them being Lewis Levin, whose carpet it is. James and Annamari both posted pics of Santa's Shoebox project presents in the office, and I posted a link to an article on how edible insects are going to transform our diets. I'm not sure why I posted this, really, but if it's true I suppose we should know about it. The photo did look tasty. The packaging has a clean look to it and there are no legs or feelers in sight. Yuchh, sorry.
Then we got excited about railway yards being transformed into parks. The idea of decking over the shunting yards in Joburg pops up its head periodically, so hopefully it will happen eventually. But going ahead is a new central park for Valencia, Spain designed by Gustafson Porter in collaboration with Borgos Pieper. And the Park am Gleisdreieck in Berlin was completed in 2011.
Anton posted an article that looks at the additional role of mitigating climate risk that landscape architects should start to play and an interesting project on a Hong Kong public stairway called the Cascade Project.
In terms of our own work, there were several new images of our Two Rivers project in Kenya and some of the southern amenity garden at the Botswana Innovation Hub.
'til next time.

Absolute morality
The phrase "absolute" morality becomes meaningful only when one explicitly states something that the truth of moral statements is not relative to.
For example, Einstein's theory of relativity states (as Minkowski showed) that the space-time separation between two events is not relative to the velocity or acceleration of the observer. The spatial and temporal separation, however, are individually relative to the observer. And, of course, the truth of statements about the spatial, temporal or space-time separation of two events is relative to the actual physical state of affairs.
Furthermore, any relatively true statement can be made absolutely true by simply including the details of the relation. The statement "My keys are in my pocket" is, for instance, true or false relative to time (sometimes my keys are in my pocket, sometimes they are not). The statement, "My keys are in my pocket at 8 Jun 2008 2:49 PM" is absolutely false (they're on the dresser). And, of course, even the most "absolute" statement about where my keys are is true or false relative to where my keys actually are. (And we won't even think about the meanings of the individual words that appear in the statement.)
These points may seem pedantic, but so many complaints against atheist, humanist, and other philosophical ethics trade directly on the ambiguity of "absolute" and "relative". The charge that atheism fails to deliver "absolute" morality is simply meaningless without further clarification.
There are two kinds of "absolute" (in the sense of "not relative to") that we can reasonably guess theists typically mean by this complaint: not relative to time and place (i.e. universal), and not relative to individual opinion (i.e. objective). The charge is more precisely stated, then, that atheism fails to deliver moral realism.
The notion that atheism cannot possibly deliver moral realism — that universal, objective moral truth is analytically (i.e. by definition) precluded by atheism — is completely retarded. Atheism easily accommodates our ordinary notions of objective, universal laws of physical reality; there's no reason that atheism would analytically exclude moral realism. If some evidence were most simply explained by moral realism — just as the evidence of our senses is most simply explained by physical realism — then atheists would be moral realists.
The charge, however, that moral realism fails to most simply explain any evidence is, however, not retarded; indeed, I would actually agree. But what of it? If moral realism fails as an explanation, then it fails. The theist's charge is then not that naturalism fails to explain something, but that there is nothing for a subjectively preferred explanation to actually explain.
That's moral subjectivism with a vengeance!

QPR striker Loic Remy is set to undergo a medical at Newcastle today ahead of his proposed season-long loan spell at St James' Park, according to Team Talk.
The France international was omitted from the Hoop's squad to face Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend and is now set to seal a return to the Premier League by joining the Magpies for 12 months.
Newcastle are desperate to add firepower to their forward line this season and look set to finally land Remy having missed out on the 26-year-old in the January window.
But they had been warned by R's manager Harry Redknapp that they'd have to fork out 2 million to borrow a player that cost 8 million seven months ago.
Redknapp said:
"We paid about 8million for him, so if someone wants to loan him for a year, we are entitled to get 2million a year for him."
And the former Totenham manager believes Remy can succeed anywhere he plays.
"Make no mistake, he will get between 15 and 20 goals next season if he goes to a Premier League club. He is a top-class player – a player for any club in the Premier League in my opinion."
Remy scored six goals in 14 Premier League outings for the Hoops last season following his January switch from Marseille, but could not prevent his new side being relegated in May.
A deal for the Frenchman would represent a major breakthrough for Newcastle in the summer transfer window having previously been frustrated in their efforts to sign a number of targets.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang opted for a move to Borussia Dortmund while a move for free-agent Douglas, the FC Twente defender, failed to come to fruition.

Hi, I'm Daniel Zacarias, a Product Management consultant based in Lisbon.
The human side of making software products fascinates me. On the one hand, getting to understand customers' problems and needs, driving the process to create something that will let them succeed at what they're trying to do. On the other hand, dealing with all the internal stakeholders, teams, constraints and decisions that need to happen in order to get the product out the door.
Creating software products is all about working for (and with) other people, making it endlessly fun.
I write about these topics here, with a special focus on creating practical articles and resources that can help you with your daily product work.
If you're in charge of a product organization and experiencing some growing pains, I can help you with:
- Create or assess your digital product's strategy
- Run design sprints with your team
- Interview your customers and document their journeys through your experience
- Improve your existing or new services by creating a blueprint of how they are (or should be) provided
- Run experiments to validate product and feature ideas
- Review and improve your Product Management process
I'm very interested to hear from you and the sort of issues you face as a Product Manager / Product Owner. Go ahead and ping me via Twitter or Email.
You can also find me on LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, Github and Strava.
If you're in town, try to come to a Productized meetup or conference, where I curate the Product Management track. There are always great presenters, snacks, drinks, and of course, product conversations.

Once upon a time, I used to read the daily paper. It showed up at my house wrapped in a nice red rubber band, and every morning I would open it up, glance briefly at the headlines, and then head as fast as possible to the funny pages. One of the strips I always read was Patrick McDonnell's Mutts.
It has been years — at least ten years — since I got a daily paper, and thus about ten years since I read Mutts. I always liked Mutts. It reminded me somehow of a blend between George Herriman's Krazy Kat, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbe, and Charles Shultz's Peanuts. Not that it has the inspired genius of any of those strips. In fact, Mutts just kind of took the pleasant aspects and left the manic bits behind. It was harmless, heart-warming fun.
So I haven't read Mutts for about a decade, but I picked up Our Little Kat King on a whim. I was in the mood for some harmless, heart-warming fun. Sure enough, that is exactly what I got.
Our Little Kat King is a Mutts treasury, collecting both the daily black-and-whites and the Sunday color strips. The strips number from the 12-31-2009 daily to the 2-21-2010 Sunday strip. You basically get an entire year of Mutts.
Even with not having read it for ten years, Mutts is just as good as I remember. It is the kind of comic strip you can pick up at any time, on any page, and just sink into the panels. Even though the title is Our Little Kat King, that only shows up in one strip. There are a few reoccurring themes, like Shelter Stories and Puppy Mill Rescue Stories featuring various animals up for adoption down at animal shelters or freed from puppy mills, or Mooch playing The Dude from the Big Lebowski, or Mooch Dreams of Africa, where he meets all the wild animals. There are the usual environmental themes, and nature enjoyment as well.
Some of my favorite pieces where comic strips at all, but interstitial splash pages where McDonnell recreates famous comic books and works of art using the cast of Mutts. He had a Kuniyoshi ukiyo-e print, and the cover of a Silver Age X-Men comic, and some more that I don't recognize but that are very cool.
Which isn't to say I loved every strip. This much Mutts in one sitting can turn sugary. Some of the strips with famous quotes I found sanctimonious. Some of the "simple truths from simple folks" types of wisdoms were more than a little "Ziggy." And some of the strips are just boring. And Cathy shows up in one strip. They can't all be winners.
But all of the strips are good enough. Like all good comic strips, Mutts has a timeless quality. Even after a ten-year gap, it was like visiting with old friends again. I'm glad that Earl and Mooch haven't changed too much. I think I will have to drop in on them again sometime.

Place for people who love startups to hang out and meet
This is an inovative new website where resort guests are video interviewed to provide a review of the resort and its surrounding attractions. It's a great way to get to know the resort because you get to see a bit of the set up at the resort and can get a feel for what it is like in a much more realistic way than by photos and pictures on a website. These Resort Reviews can be about the dining, the rooms, the views and all of the activities in the area. You get a virtual reality picture of what it's like at the resort. Also, unlike written reviews, you can see the review isn't spam because an actual guest at the resort is being interviewed. Check out more at www.resortinterviews.com

It is no big secret that when you are in the B2B world, you talk to A LOT of business owners. That being said, coming from the online marketing world, this is most often the topic of conversation that comes up. How can I best market my business online? We talk about a lot of different things, SEO, PPC, Social Media Marketing, landing pages, ect. and most have at least a general understanding of what those terms mean.
However, when I mention Online Reputation Management, more often than not get a blank stare or a long conversation about online reviews. If the business owner has heard of ORM more often than not it is all about yelp and how to improve scores on that particular platform. While this is a very important focus of Online Reputation Management, there is a lot more to managing your brand online than just dealing with reviews as they come in. In this day in age, you need a full scale focus to manage your brand, which includes a variety of different activities that cross a variety of traditional online marketing techniques. Here are a few to consider working into an existing online marketing program.
- Review Monitoring/Solicitation – Whether it is your business or an agency, asking often for reviews is an important strategy for any business. Make sure you are taking the time to build an e-mail list and have a system in place to systematically respond to reviews and ask customers for feedback. Many popular reviews sites discourage you from doing so, but take my word for it, this is a must do because we all make mistakes and sometimes have customers that are not forgiving.
- Social Listening – Not only should you be marketing your business via social media, but you should also have tools in place to listen for people talking about your brand. For example if someone is posting pictures of your dirty bathroom on Instagram, that's probably worth you knowing about, right? Remember a picture is worth a thousand words and it's pretty easy to take one in this day in age. Make sure that you are covering yourself here.
- Content Management – Make sure you are always putting fresh and relevant content out there on a variety of different sites about your business. Whether it is Press Releases or blog posts or other types of content, activity is key. Remember the more you put out there, the more you control, which is exactly what you want to have….control!
- A Review Process – Even the least technical person can Google their business name every so often and a few related terms that are important to them. Make sure you make this part of your monthly or quarterly plan to review, because there could be things floating around that are costing your business and you don't even know it!
While there are countless considerations for managing a brand online, these are things that anyone can do with simple tools. The internet requires a proactive mindset and if you do not have a plan in place it could easily come back to bite you, resulting in decreasing sales and the reactive options are often times quite expensive or won't work. Take the time to manage your brand online or hire a professional, it is certainly a worthwhile investment.

This apartment in New York's West Village was refined by Reddymade Design for a couple based in Los Angeles. Located in a 1910 building that had been converted to a co-op in the late 1980s, the apartment is a compact 725 square feet. The couple, an artist and a talent manager, live in a midcentury house on the West Coast, but maintain a second home in Manhattan. "They wanted us to make the apartment not just a pied-à-terre, but a home," principal Suchi Reddy says.
"The clients' love for midcentury design, as well as their art collection, were major generators of the design concept," Reddy says. "Our approach became a careful selection and curation of one-of-a-kind pieces that we juxtaposed with their art." The couple's collection includes works by Cecily Brown and Dana Louise Kirkpatrick, among others.
