Ladies and Gents, The Age of Conversation 2, a collaborative study of today's marketing and advertising environment by top bloggers and marketing gurus, is finally available for purchase. A lot of people worked really hard to make this book a reality, and I want to specifically call out Gavin Heaton and Drew McLellan for that. I am very pleased and honored to have been a part of it.
My contribution is an article called "The Millennial Generation Will Change the Face of Hiring", within the chapter Business Model Evolution.
Here's an excerpt:
There's no shortage of conversation about the impact of Millenials on the workforce, and yet most advertising agencies are still not listening. Agencies think it's still all about them. It's not. It's about the people they need with the energy and ideas to keep their company alive in the new economy.

Poll: Do you agree with the latest measures taken by government to curb the spread of Covid-19?
YESTERDAY, THE GOVERNMENT announced a delay to the fourth phase of re-opening the country.
In a bitter blow to publicans across the country, pubs that don't serve food won't re-open next Monday.
Nightclubs and casinos will also remain closed, and this will be reviewed again on 31 August.
Separately, restaurants and pubs that are open at this time will need to be closed to customers by 11pm.
The government also took five destinations off the Green List and said that face coverings will be mandatory in shops from 10 August.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he wanted pub owners to know he had "enormous sympathy for their plight" and added that "this virus is taking away their ability to earn a living".
The number of cases of Covid-19 reported daily in Ireland has increased in recent weeks, and people have been urged by the government to continue following the public health guidelines.
So, today we're asking you: Do you agree with the latest measures taken by government to curb the spread of Covid-19?

Best Online Dating Sites of 2020
Best Online Dating Sites of 2020
In the modern era, online dating is so normal that anyone choosing to date without the help of the internet or an app is seen as the weird one. And honestly, given the degree to which technology has infiltrated every aspect of our lives (not to mention many people's increasingly busy schedules) it makes sense. With more and more of our community engagement moving into the virtual world, there are fewer and fewer places that are actually conducive to approaching people and getting to know them in real life. Turning to online options means being able to meet more potential partners than you'd ever be able to otherwise! The one real drawback here is the abundance of options modern daters face -- there are so many sites and apps out there, and finding the right one (or ones) for you can be a tricky proposition.
Depending on what exactly it is that you're looking for, you can narrow down your choices to a specific category of dating -- there are all types of them out there and there's bound to be at least one among the masses that truly caters to you and the people you're looking to date.
Once you've gotten as far as choosing the right site or app for your needs, you may want to consider the quality of service you're willing to pay for. For instance, if you're concerned about keeping your information and privacy safe (from hackers and cyber criminals), know that some sites will put more emphasis on security than others. Or maybe, you'd rather join a site that offers some unique features, like video chat, for instance, or online role-playing forums.
Needless to say, all this constitutes a lot of information for any one person to sort through -- that's why we took the liberty of ranking each site within their respective categories to make your life that much simpler.
Here are the top 15 best rated sites and apps across the board; you can explore the menu bar to see the best in each individual category.
Geared for singles looking to get serious, eHarmony.com uses a thorough matching algorithm to get members started. Once in, this site provides insight into both you and your desired date.
With a huge member base and familiar features, XMatch.com is a reliable place to go for those wanting a quick connection. With lots of eye-candy to get you started, this is one for the books.
Jewish FriendFinder boasts ample ways to interact with fellow members – from messaging and e-mails to chat rooms and groups, just to name a few.
Founded in 2001, Swing Lifestyle offers a safe environment for swinger couples or singles to connect with other interested in pursuing fun and casual sexual encounters.
Simple and easy to use, OKCupid.com is an industry leader in online dating. More than just a meeting platform, it also helps make matches by letting members create detailed profiles.
Lavalife.com is your one-stop shop for dating online. Here, members can flirt, chat and arrange various encounters. Not to mention its mobile app, which makes mingling on the go easier than ever.
This site uses a trained dating team to cater to established singles tired of randomized matches and looking for the real deal.
If you're more interested in meeting singles rather than matching, HowAboutWe.com is a spontaneous way to make a connection. Consider this your own personal menu of great date ideas.
Boasting verified wealth checks, MillionaireMatch offers a platform for wealthy singles -- from doctors to models and celebrities -- to find an equally wealthy match
With cool features and a sleek design, Cupid.com is best suited for those of a younger generation. Whether you're looking for a Friday night date, a fling or lasting love, this is a good place to start.
How Online Dating Works
For the most part, the online dating experience can be broken down into three parts: signing up, creating a profile, and interacting with other members. Depending on the site or app you're looking into, the first two parts may take more or less time, but it's important to note that the more accurately you answer the questionnaires and the more care you put into creating a profile that reflects who you are, the better chances you have of being matched with someone worth your while. When it comes to interacting, it can be as simple as sending someone a casual "wink" or liking their photo, or you can send them a more detailed message if you feel drawn to do so. Each site will have unique features to offer, all of which we've reviewed in detail for you.
While most sites require payment to access their full roster of features, we recommend starting with a free account. This way, you'll get a taste for the service without committing to a monthly plan right off the bat.
The Shift Towards Online Dating
Online dating's popularity is right in line with how we conduct most of our business these days. We read our news online, watch TV and movies online, order food online -- why wouldn't we meet and flirt and look for relationships online, too? Not to mention: Where else could you go to meet so many singles ready to mingle? Sure, nothing beats meeting someone face-to-face and feeling the sparks fly, but there's really no guarantee of meeting anyone and getting to know them in most public spaces, especially nowadays. The fact remains that online dating sites are a unique and effective way of connecting with more people who share your intentions than would otherwise be physically possible.
How To Choose The Right Site
As you can imagine, there are a lot of different sites to choose from out there. From the mainstream ones to those of a more "risque" nature, it's tremendously important to consider your options before spending the time and energy getting set up on one. While sites in the matchmaking category (such as eHarmony.com and Match.com) focus on helping people find true love, adult sites (such as Passion.com, Adultfriendfinder.com) tend to serve the purpose of exploring one's sexuality and immediate gratification. Furthermore, niche dating sites like those in the Religious, Ethnic, Wealthy or Senior categories are really geared for people with a vested interest in those respective verticals.
Best Dating Sites Of 2020
At AskMen, our team of editors has personally reviewed upwards of 110 dating sites in order to present you with the very best. We spent time browsing and testing features, as well as reading other customer reviews, with the goal of being able to provide honest and comprehensive insight into what differentiates a great service from one that's just "OK". And although our opinions may be subjective, we did base all ratings on a standardized scale in an attempt to be fair.
Reviews will be updated periodically, so keep checking in for the latest and greatest.

A long-dormant national conversation about guns has reignited: some are calling for an assault weapons ban while other feel guns themselves aren't the root of the problem. So far the shootings have sparked several gun buy-back programs and even an anti-gun video organized by big-city mayors – but the NRA says it's the entertainment industry that is partly to blame. NBC's John Yang reports.
The National Rifle Association's call to put armed guards in every public school in America has further intensified the debate over how to protect our nation's children in class, with some districts saying they're preparing to take just that action and other educators cautioning that doing so sends the wrong message about education.
And short of giving teachers and officers their own guns, administrators across the country are desperate to find a way to keep their pupils safe. Locked vestibules with buzzers, emergency preparedness drills, stronger glass and surveillance cameras are among measures being considered after the massacre last week at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Even before the NRA's Wayne LaPierre said Friday that armed police should be placed in schools, guards with guns were posted at all 14 schools in Butler, Pa.
This Sunday on Meet the Press: NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre
The district of 7,500 pupils about 40 miles northeast of Pittsburgh had already gone to court to get a judge's approval to have at least one armed retired state trooper in every school. They were in place as classes resumed Monday after the mass shootings Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn.
"We plan to have that on a daily basis from now on," Superintendent Michael Strutt told NBC station WPXI of Pittsburgh. By the time the next school year begins, every guard in the school system will be armed, he said.
The sense of urgency is undeniable, with a few districts willing to fight fire with fire, as in Butler. Schools in Marlboro, N.J., for example, will have armed officers in place by January, Mayor John Hornik told NBC News on Friday.
After a week of calls for tighter gun restrictions, the National Rifle Association called for putting more armed security officers in the nation's schools and expressed concerns about violence portrayed in video games, movies and music. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
State Sen. Joe Scarnati, a Republican representing northern Pennsylvania, said there was only one important question: "What do we do to protect our kids?"
"If it requires to put armed individuals in our schools to protect our kids, then we need to do that," Scarnati told NBC station WJAC of Johnstown.
But that idea doesn't sit well with other educators, like Tony Scott, superintendent of schools in Bellaire, Ohio, where a local firearms association said it would provide free shooting training to teachers after the Connecticut shootings.
"I just don't believe our teachers signed up for this," Scott told NBC station WTOV of Steubenville, Ohio. "I know I didn't sign up for it."
Ronald Stephens, executive director of the National School Safety Center, a joint project of the U.S. Education and Justice departments, said there's no centralized database tabulating how many school systems have an official armed presence on campus, but he estimated it at 25 percent. He called the NRA proposal "unfeasible."
"We have to ask ourselves what kind of climate we want to create in our schools. Do we want our school campus to look like the Old West with people having sidearms attached to their hip, or do we want education to happen in a positive way?" Stephens told NBC News. "That's the hard part of this."
Michael Smerconish, author Steve Siebold and David Corn of Mother Jones debate the NRA's idea that more guns and armed teachers would curb gun violence.
Some administrators are looking elsewhere for solutions. After years of unlocked front doors and casual conversations about someday increasing security in the small school district of New Hartford, Conn., Superintendent Philip O'Reilly isn't wasting another minute.
Fearing a repeat of the tragedy in nearby Newtown, O'Reilly is planning to modify the district's school buildings so they each have a small, locked vestibule between the main entrance and the building's interior, which will hold visitors for screening.
O'Reilly wouldn't give the cost of these new entryways, but he said the money must be found.

"Cost is no longer the priority. Keeping kids safe is the priority," he said.
In some cases, parents are leading the charge.
"I've had superintendents and headmasters who have been fighting for a year or two trying to do this, and the parents have been fighting them hand and fist because they didn't understand, and now the parents are coming to the school officials saying, 'Why aren't you?'" said Michael Dorn, executive director of Safe Havens International, a nonprofit group based in Georgia that helps schools improve their crisis preparedness.
Michael Dorn of Safe Havens International relays tips on how schools and parents can keep kids safe.
Security experts recommend that school districts start with a security assessment. Because changing entryways or installing security cameras can be expensive, these experts said school systems need to figure out exactly what their biggest shortcomings are before plowing ahead.
"The number one request [schools have been asking for since Newtown] is to conduct a security assessment. We look at everything, from your written practices to the physical security devices and emergency plans," said Paul Timm, president of Illinois-based, school security consulting firm RETA Security.
He said his recommendations usually fall in two main areas.
"There are two categories that protect people better than anything else: access control, which includes a locked vestibule, running a closed campus, visitor management procedures; and communications.
Do we have public address systems, do we have telephones that are outfitted with emergency dialing instructions, do we have two-way radios?" Timm said. "Those two areas, more than cameras, more than metal detectors, more than burglar alarm systems, protect people."
Locked vestibules can literally stop an intruder in his or her tracks. As administrators have become more concerned about security, many schools have restricted access to just one main entry point in the hope of doing that, Timm said.
Another solution for safety-proofing schools: bullet-resistant glass. Timm recently helped a school in Hastings, Minn., replace all the tempered glass in the building with laminated glass after a student brought a gun to school, and the total cost was about $3,500.
But such a low dollar figure for security fixes is rare.
"A large percentage of our schools are not designed well for any of these things. Sometimes, something simple can be $5 million," Dorn said.
Federal funds for school safety — the Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) project — were eliminated in March 2011. Now the money must come from local taxpayers.
"There's not much in the budget for security at all. I want to say that before Columbine, not many schools had a line item for security in their budget," Timm said.
One security measure that doesn't come with a hefty price tag is running drills with teachers, students and administrators for various scenarios.
"It prepares us to make life-and-death situations more quickly," Dorn said. "They have an opportunity do something like lock a door, move kids out of a classroom, and [if] for various reasons don't take that action, our casualty rate doubles or triples. The human brain works faster than my laptop to make those life-and-death decisions, but only if you've had the exposure to prepare you."
Andrew Mach of NBC News contributed to this report.

COTTAGE GROVE, WI -- Johnson Health Tech Inc., manufacturer of Matrix Fitness equipment, enjoyed increases in sales during the first quarter.
North American sales increased by 32 percent, and international sales increased by 28 percent in first quarter 2010 compared to first quarter 2009 for Johnson Health Tech, which also manufactures Vision Fitness, Horizon Fitness and LIVESTRONG equipment. All channels experienced positive growth within the company's sporting goods and mass market, specialty and commercial divisions, the company said in a statement.
"Much of our domestic growth can be attributed to the overwhelmingly positive response to our new treadmill product line at sporting goods and mass retailers, which had great sell-through in the fourth quarter that led to continued growth in the first quarter," Chris Clawson, president and CEO of Johnson Health Tech North America (JHTNA), said in a statement.
In the sporting goods and mass channel, JHTNA showed an increase in sales by 58 percent over the previous year. In the commercial channel, Clawson noted that an investment in new console technologies, such as the Virtual Active workout experience, and an expanded Matrix Fitness product portfolio have led to an increase in sales by 36 percent over the corresponding 2009 time period.
The rollout of several new products, including the Johnny G Krankcycle, the T7xe treadmill and the G7 series strength line, in addition to the expansion of JHTNA's partnership with the Lance Armstrong Foundation to launch the LIVESTRONG by Matrix line are fueling continued growth and optimism into the second quarter, the company says.
"Our international subsidiaries experienced outstanding sales growth in both retail and commercial segments," Mark Zabel, vice president of global marketing for Johnson Health Tech (JHT), said in a statement. "We believe our aggressive investment in new product development, strategic partnerships, new technology and our global marketing campaign has positioned JHT for continued growth worldwide throughout 2010."

So ... what are the best books published before 1923? Which of these are available online, and which should really be made available?Works first published before January 1, 1923 with proper copyright notice entered the public domain no later than 75 years from the date copyright was first secured. Hence, all works whose copyrights were secured in the US before 1923 are now in the public domain, regardless of where they were published. (This is the rule Project Gutenberg uses most often)
Works published and copyrighted 1923-1977 retain copyright for 95 years. No such works will enter the public domain until 2019 unless one of the other rules applies.
Seems like Wackernagel's Vorlesungen über Syntax: mit besonderer Berücksichtigung von Griechisch, Lateinisch und Deutsch is one thing that really should be scanned. What else?

This anthropoidal set of luggage is intended to create awareness of the ever-growing issue of human trafficking, an activity that is contrary to the most fundamental of human rights. Human trafficking is the exploitation of the poor into slavery; it encompasses bribery, corruption, prostitution, exploitation, fraud and abuse. It is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the 'globalised' world. Corruption thrives in this multi-billion-dollar industry. People become marketable products, epitomising the indifference surrounding human trafficking and the inhumane treatment of its victims.

I can't wait to read about the bacon making. My boys would totally be into that too, although they haven't tried it with maple syrup: one likes it plain and one prefers it with Nutella!
- January 5, 2012 at 12:03 PM
enjoy your blog and your perspective. Hm - I do words for the year rather than goals. Just one word - lasts years was disengage (I have adult children livign at home!). this year's is balance - I'm leaning both ways as in figuratively and literally. I need to work on balance and fitness to promote other areas in my life.
I love the "dragon in my belly". Love you end sentence.

Two-time Olympic medalists Nancy Kerrigan's brother got a 30-month sentence for assault in a 2010 incident that left his father dead.
Mark Kerrigan, 46, was acquitted of the more serious manslaughter charge for the booz-fueled incident in which he choked his 70-year-old father. Daniel Kerrigan died of heart failure shortly afterward, but his son's defense attorneys said the elder Kerrigan's death was more due to massive blockage of his arteries.
Kerrigan's family, including his famous sister, supported him.
U.S. & World
"Any sentence for Mark would only serve to extend an unnecessary situation that already seems as if it has been never-ending," she said.
Nancy Kerrigan won a bronze medal in 1992, and a silver two years later in Lillehammer, Norway. The second-pace medal came after rival Tonya Harding had goons try to knock her out of the competition.

Events Calendar
This webinar cover accessibility to wireless technology, such as cell phones, smartphones, tablets, eReaders, and other mobile devices. Presenters will review applicable requirements in the Section 508 Standards for wireless devices and will discuss common accessibility barriers and solutions developed by the industry to address accessibility.
The 508 standards can be challenging to apply to this area of technology since they were developed when telephones were primarily used for two-way voice communication. Today wireless telephones may incorporate many features, such as two-way voice communication, texting, web surfing, game playing and content creation. In addition, these features may be found in a variety of platforms for smartphones and tablets. This session will examine the relevant Section 508 standards and will provide information on resources available to research the accessibility features of specific wireless products. The FCC Clearinghouse on Accessible Products will be discussed as well as the Global Accessibility Reporting Initiative. The webinar will also include tips for evaluating wireless products.
For more details or to register for this free webinar, visit www.adaconferences.org/CIOC.
The Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series provides helpful information and best practices for federal agencies in meeting their obligations under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act which ensures access to electronic and information technology in the federal sector. This webinar series is made available by the Accessibility Committee of the CIO Council in partnership with the U.S. Access Board and eFedLink.

Comps 2 question:
What is the energy in eV between atoms in a typical solid state material ?
Just rough estimate ?
How is that related to the thermal energy that needs to be supplied in order to melt it ?
For example a typical bond has 1eV but we need much smaller energy to break it, why is that ?
For NaCl the latice energy is 800kJ/mol which is 7eV per atom.
Where is the mistake here ?
1eV = 6.10^18 eV, 1eV = 11000K
Thanks a lot!

A bitch feels much better today. Still a wee bit weak and oily of stomach, but much better! This nasty little bug is no joke.
2 cups coffee with Splenda and 1% Organic milk, 1 Dayquil, 1 Claritin and cigs…
A bitch has watched the latest leak scandal from Scooter's White House unfold with amusement. This bitch has always assumed that our government was digging into my fellow citizen's business…not that my ass approves, but my ass sure as shit didn't think they weren't already doing it. Observing the reactions to this leaked information has been fascinating…
The Supporters…
"Fuck it! In order to protect America we have to so anything and everything!"
Now this argument really pisses civil libertarians off. A bitch frets over the civil liberties component too…however, the fact that our little spy network failed to prevent the theft of tons of explosives within our sacred borders is what truly pisses me off. If our government is going to spy on us…then spy motherfuckers! Shit, how the hell does some domestic asshole walk away with 400 pounds of explosives in New Mexico…FUCK! Really…if you looked up 'security threat' in the motherfucking dictionary you'd see a picture of assholes stealing 400 pounds of explosives in New Mexico!
Regarding the civil liberties issue…it seems to this bitch that Scooter didn't want a paper trail. The government can and has spied on a deadline then received a legal warrant after initiating the effort. So, the only reason this bitch can see for Scooter's minions not wanting to follow that loose little legal expectation would be that they weren't certain their warrant would be approved. Which reminds this bitch of a certain plumbers unit mapping out the prospect of fire bombing the Brookings Institute back in the day…you naughty little boys.
The Others…
Wow! Who the fuck knew that Scooter's actions could bring the left and the right together! Shit, this bi-partisan disgust over Scooter's domestic spy program is…well, it's like a Christmas miracle! A bitch is all warm inside…shit, my ass may cry!
Of course, there is that pesky problem of certain Democratic politicians knowing about the spy program ahead of time…but a bitch is soothed with the knowledge that they apparently were held silent under the cloak of National Security. If not…what the fuck?
The leakers and those who protect them…
Now, a bitch is a wee bit peeved that no one has stepped forward to denounce this leaker. Yes, my ass is glad that the information is out in the open. However, clearly someone within the West Wing likes to talk…a lot…about classified national security information…to the press.
This is where these leaks get murky. When leakers spout information we are grateful to know we adore them. When they fuck up a multi-decade CIA cover, we want to hunt them down and torture them. But this bitch feels that there is someone or several people in the West Wing who are up to no good. This shit doesn't sit well…that might be my flu bug, but fuck it!
The leaking of a CIA operative's name by a senior White House official was a direct attack against this nation's security. Not only did it expose that operative's contacts, but it also exposed several decades of investigative spying done with the very specific goal of monitoring…oh my Gawd…weapons of mass destruction. Further, the fact that an operative would be sold out by her own government in an act of juvenile revenge against her mate has most likely made recruiting a fucking nightmare. Way to fucking go!
Now we have another leak. Again, a bitch is concerned. Knowing that our government is spying on us illegally is a good thing in my eyes, but clearly there is a major leaker in the White House and we have no control over whether he or she leaks good to know shit or 'oh fuck now we're fucked' shit.
Now…could it be the same asshole? Why is this asshole leaking national security information? If it's not the same asshole, who is it? Why leak this information now? Where was this shit in September of 2004? And what is this person or persons prepared to leak next? Or…could it be a leak for a leak? Could there be some remorseful true believer in the West Wing who, confronted with her Master's evil doing, has decided to be a patriot and inform her fellow citizens of Scooter's bad behavior?
Oh the drama!
Hey, this shit would make a great script. And Lawd knows Hollywood is desperate. Rather than remake another remake or green light another piece of shit they should simply borrow story lines from the Scooter White House!
Yes! It has everything! Scandal, intrigue, back stabbing, war, death, lying, leaking, spying, computerized weapons, the deposing of dictators and a father/son complex to rival all father/son complexes!
Joy! A bitch would love to see this movie and…
Isn't that Star Wars?
Never mind...

No bigger than a pigeon and able only to shuffle on land, the Manx Shearwater is a master of ocean flight and a pelagic wanderer that can clock up 5,000,000 miles in its lifetime.
And, if it survives the many perils it faces during its long ocean journeys and its lengthy annual stay on land during the breeding season, when it is at its most vulnerable, it can live for over 50 years. One ringed bird was 55-years-old when it was recaught on Skomer, and it might well still be somewhere out in the wild North Atlantic today.
The European population of Shearwaters is estimated at between 280,000 to 320,000, and the Pembrokeshire bird sanctuary islands of Skomer and Skokholm hold the largest known concentration of these beautiful birds in the world, Skomer hosting 129,000 pairs and Skokholm 45,000 pairs.
Manx Shearwaters arrive at the Pembrokeshire islands in March for the breeding season and depart in October to return to their winter wanderings around North and South America between November and February. Birds ringed on Skomer and Skokholm have turned up at Lawn island, Newfoundland, Rhode Island, Argentina, Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts, thus the round trip they make annually exceeds 20,000 miles. This does not take into account their meanderings in the North Atlantic in search of their food of herring, squid and small fish, which doubtless add a few thousand to the mileage tally.
These gracefully-shaped black and white birds nest in burrows made by rabbits or puffins on the clifftops and inland on Skomer and Skokholm, laying one white egg and brooding one chick between April and July. Very vulnerable on land and in daylight because their short, black legs are set well back and they can only shuffle on their white bellies, using legs, wings and bill, until airborne, they are mainly nocturnal as they can be picked off by predatory gulls and other birds in the open. However, they are very swift and graceful fliers and spend much of their existence at sea in all weathers catching their prey by diving from the surface or a short plunge from the air. During onshore autumnal gales many young birds are blown ashore and become disoriented, often landing in towns and villages as well as on beaches and clifftops, where they have to be rescued and relaunched manually at dusk or in the dark to return to their migratory flights. Although nocturnal, many birds from the islands can be seen off the west side of Skomer, particularly during the day, especially in inclement weather, while in the evening large numbers go into St Brides Bay and Broad Sound and can be viewed from Wooltack Point. Vast passages also move between the islands and distant feeding grounds in the early mornings and evenings. An ideal way to see them at close quarters, and hear their unique dove-like calls, is by taking one of the evening boat cruises from Martin's Haven.

We don't get all that political here at HBG, but this one really gets under my skin, and I had to post this tonight in hopes that we might be able to make a difference before Thursday's vote.
This Thursday, the Senate Appropriations Committee will be considering an amendment to HB 1604 which increases the excise tax on Alcohol by 100% to help fund the Marion County Capital Improvement Board shortfall caused by the Pacers, Colts and Convention Center operating losses. In an effort to gain support for the idea, the anticipated $42 million increase in alcohol taxes would be distributed statewide to cities and towns throughout Indiana on a population basis for economic development initiatives. Only Indianapolis ' portion ($8 million annually) of this increase would go to the Marion County Capital Improvement Board.
Call your State Senator and Representative and tell them:
House Switchboard:
Senate Switchboard:
Call the numbers above and ask for the Senator or the Representative below and let them know raising alcohol taxes is not the way to pay for the losses that the Indianapolis sports teams have accrued. Already, 46% of the cost of beer today is taxes, and in no way would it be fair to increase that amount.
This is the aim of House Bill 1613:
Increases alcoholic beverage excise taxes. Increases the beer and cider excise tax from $0.115 to $0.65 per gallon. Increases the wine excise tax from $0.47 to $2.07 per gallon. Increases the liquor excise tax from $2.68 to $6.95 per gallon. Provides that each of the funds that receives these excise taxes will receive the same percentage of the new rates as the percentage it receives under the existing rates.
You can verify who your Senator or Representative is by going to the following site: www.capwiz.com/la and entering your address. This will give you the information you need to call or email your Senator or Representative
You can also email by going to this address: http://axetaxesnotjobs.com/ That page is sponsored by Diageo, but it does make it very easy to find and contact your Senator, state rep, and the Governor.
What are you thoughts about this legislation?

The ebook transition has had many publishers running scared. Tim O'Reilly is still excited about the future of publishing, and optimistic that we're discovering it, bit by bit. He'll share his thoughts from the front lines.
Tim has a history of convening conversations that reshape the industry. In 1998, he organized the meeting where the term "open source software" was agreed on, and helped the business world understand its importance. In 2004, with the Web 2.0 Summit, he defined how "Web 2.0" represented not only the resurgence of the web after the dot com bust, but a new model for the computer industry, based on big data, collective intelligence, and the internet as a platform. In 2009, with his "Gov 2.0 Summit," he framed a conversation about the modernization of government technology that has shaped policy and spawned initiatives at the Federal, State, and local level, and around the world. He has now turned his attention to implications of the on-demand economy and other technologies that are transforming the nature of work and the future shape of the business world. He is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media and a partner at O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV). He is also a founder and board member at Maker Media, which spun out of O'Reilly Media in 2012, and a board member at Code for America, PeerJ, Civis Analytics, and PopVox.

For me, sustainable living and self-sufficiency are very closely linked. Self sufficiency usually means growing at least a portion of your own food, which sometimes means preserving your harvest! From another perspective, buying real sauerkraut can be real expensive (and sometimes the sauerkraut from the store isn't even actually fermented, it's just cooked in vinegar). $8 for a pint of kraut is too much to spend on my habit. And since you know I wholeheartedly believe in DIY for a million reasons, I wanted to point out a cool DIY tool I found a while ago that I want to try out. It's a sauerkraut/pickle making jar system. It's called the "Picklemeister".
The Picklemeister comes in 1/2 gallon and 1 gallon sizes. It's basically a big glass jar with a seal and an airlock. You cut up your cabbage (for sauerkraut), add salt, a plastic bag of brine, and let the jar sit for 3 days. Then you have a gallon of sauerkraut!
Here's a video that I love about making sauerkraut (with a really tasty recipe at the end!) with Mark Frauenfelder. Check it out here. He swears by the Picklemeister.
I found the Picklemeister for sale at a few different websites. It's about $20 + $10 shipping. I feel like it's definitely worth it and will pay for itself after just one 1-gallon batch.
Wisemen Trading (and on their Etsy, which seems to have run out of Picklemeister's today…check back)
However, if you're super thrifty like me, and like the fun and satisfaction of making things yourself, you might just make your own Picklemeister type tool. I'm on the look out for a big glass jar with a screw-on plastic lid. It'll probably be one of those old fashioned glass juice/sun tea jars with the funny fruit/flower screen prints on the outside. I have seen them at the second hand store for about $2 (of course not since I've been seeking them out – but I'll find one!). Then I'll just need to buy the airlock ($1.50) and drill a little whole in the lid of the jar for it (and put some sort of gasket around the opening). Total estimated cost? My budget is $5.00! Not too bad!! I'll do a post about my DIY picklemeister experiment when I find the jar!

Holy quack! The Robertsons are covering Christmas.
Not content with cornering the duck call market, being TV's biggest reality stars, publishing five books and having their own mobile game app, the "Duck Dynasty" clan now have the holidays firmly in their sights.
"Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas," was released this week and features the bearded boys from the bayou singing traditional Christmas carols and duck-themed holiday songs.
U.S. & World
While the album may not be considered by some to be traditional holiday music - the family showcase their squawking duck calls on many of the tracks - the disc does feature some of the biggest names in country music.
George Strait joins Phil Robertson for an ode to "Christmas Cookies," while Luke Bryan, Alison Krauss and Josh Turner also make appearances on the album which is sure to be a popular down-home stocking stuffer come December.
"We're not aspiring to be country music stars," Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander and a fixture on the A&E network series, said in an interview about the album, which was produced by Nashville hitmaker Buddy Cannon.
"It is definitely from our perspective of a down-home middle-America Christmas," Robertson added. "There is some funny stuff and then there is some serious stuff."
In the zany category would be "Hairy Christmas" featuring Bryan and Willie Robertson, as well as "Ragin' Cajun Redneck Christmas," a new upbeat holiday ditty that Willie wrote with Dallas Davidson. More traditional fare comes in the form of "Silent Night," on which Krauss duets with teenager Sadie Robertson.
Other reworked classics on "Duck the Halls" include "Away in a Manger," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
"Faith, family, and ducks — in that order — have always been our priorities," Willie Robertson told "Entertainment Tonight" when the idea for the album was initially floated in June. "Christmas is an important holiday for us, not only because of our strong faith, but also our holiday family traditions. We're having a great time making this album. We hope you enjoy it."
In addition to the release of their Holiday album, the "Duck Dynasty Christmas Special" will air on A&E on Wednesday Dec. 11 at 10 p.m. ET.

A Football Hero in a National Identity Farce
Not that long ago, Mesut Özil was still meeting his mates for a kickabout in the "monkey cage", a dusty ring-fenced enclosure in the district of Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck.
Today, Özil is right up there in the limelight, playing with the "royals" on the lush green pitch at Real Madrid, sending the entire stadium and millions of fans all over the world into a delirium of delight with his dazzling soccer wizardry.
From simple folk to the super-intellectual, there's barely a football fan out there that can resist the magical power of Özil's outstanding talent.
Unseemly national wrangling
Even in the national strip, the ex-Werder Bremen star now numbers among the squad's top performers. At the very latest, after the national team's gala performances in this year's World Cup against England (4:1) and Argentina (4:0), the young man with the narrow shoulders and melancholy gaze was raised up to the rank of global soccer star.
The unseemly national wrangling over Özil was almost forgotten, a dispute that arose when Turkish national coach Fatih Terim courted the fancy footwork technician with gritty tenacity, although Özil had already decided to join the German squad. Özil's website was then hit with numerous hostile messages and accusations of "high treason".
Decision of national significance
But before the European Championship qualifier last Saturday, when Germany and Turkey faced each other off in Berlin, the dispute flared up yet again. In an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung ahead of the match, Hamit Altintop indirectly accused Özil of opportunism, and said that Özil had dishonourably turned his back on "his own".
Altintop, who, like Özil, was born and raised in Gelsenkirchen, made a decision back then to play for the Turkish Football Federation, a move he explained in the interview by referring to his Turkish identity. Özil on the other hand, he said, had a more powerful lobby as a member of the German national squad, a greater market value, and more earning power. "If he had decided to play for Turkey, he wouldn't have played in the World Cup and wouldn't be at Real Madrid now."
Altintop went on to say that Özil's decision to play for Germany had had nothing to do with integration. But is this actually correct? Özil was born and raised in Germany, and has only ever been to Turkey on holiday.
Why shouldn't he feel at home here? Özil himself commented on the matter by saying that his family has lived in Germany for three generations, that he played his way through all the German Football Association (DFB) youth squads and that joining any other team would have been out of the question. "I feel completely at home here," said Özil on Thursday.
Football, politics and religion
In the meantime, it appears politicians in this country are prepared to go to quirky lengths to score points with Özil's popularity. For example, the Chancellor's office asked the DFB to release a photograph for publication showing Angela Merkel in the changing rooms congratulating match winner Özil after Germany's 3:0 defeat of Turkey.
But for the Chancellor, this is about more than just pulling a sly stunt to boost opinion polls and approval ratings – it is an attempt by Angela Merkel to adopt a stance, in an indirect but symbolic way, in the Islam debate going on within her own party. Ever since SPD politician Thilo Sarrazin blustered that migrants and in particular Muslim immigrants are diluting the supposedly high-grade German gene pool, the political establishment has found itself in a quandary.
And the mood within the CDU has been brewing uncomfortably since German President Christian Wulff stressed, in his speech to mark German Unity Day, that Islam is a part of Germany.
Commenting in the Leipziger Volkszeitung, the Bavarian Minister of Social Affairs Christine Haderthauer of the CSU warned that such a statement was open to misinterpretation. "Religious freedom must not be allowed to become religious equality," she said. But what on earth is that supposed to mean? In Germany – thank goodness – religious freedom prevails. That means that Muslims are allowed to practice their faith, and that like all other religious communities, they are allowed to build houses of worship. That makes Islam de facto a part of Germany. And it didn't happen yesterday.
Value system of ideological neutrality
The current debate concerning Islam may mirror public fears that the country is being overrun by foreigners, and also be a consequence of what are to some extent grave integration problems. But essentially, this debate is hypocritical and phoney. Repeatedly referring to Europe's Christian tradition in discussions about western values is a denial of the fact that human rights and the German constitution were pushed through against the Church and Christian traditions.
The western value system is a value system of ideological neutrality that has universal validity and is so successful because of its pluralistic neutrality and its concept of equality. Those who maintain that Islam should be marginalised are not promoting our values, but already working on their abolition.
Özil in statesmanlike guise
Mesut Özil, generally regarded as a shy person, recently added his voice to the debate and rejected the views of Thilo Sarrazin. "Because I sincerely hope that a time will finally come when all of us in Germany feel like members of one big family," he said in an interview. "We all live together, many Turks also have a German passport and are in favour of integration. That's why I think it's a shame that we're still having this discussion."
The fact that the German tabloids publish opportunistic, hypocritical and celebratory coverage of the "German" successes of Özil and Sami Khedira on the one hand, while also running opinion pieces that stoke anti-foreigner sentiments and describe people born and raised here as foreigners, is downright schizophrenic. Mesut Özil would be just as much a German even if he wasn't able to kick a ball into an empty goal from a distance of two metres. After all, the boy comes from Gelsenkirchen.

McCartney wows big crowd at Miller Park
Sir Paul plays nearly three-hour show
Paul McCartney delighted thousands of fans and left some saying "Maybe I'm Amazed" at his ability to play for nearly three hours in high heat and humidity, at age 71, without taking a break.
McCartney performed a wide range of hits from his days with the Beatles, his solo work and his time with his band, Wings, before a sold-out crowd at Miller Park Tuesday night. Crowd estimates topped 43,000 people in the stadium, which is home to the Milwaukee Brewers.
McCartney opened his show with the Beatles hit "Eight Days a Week." He brought out a ukelele to play the George Harrison-penned song "Something" before turning to electric guitars to finish the song. He wowed the crowd with pyrotechnics and fireworks on "Live and Let Die," and closed with "Yesterday," one of the most famous and beautiful songs he ever wrote. He returned for three encores.
WISN Facebook fans raved about the show.
"The concert was worth the heat and the wait," wrote Debra La Bonte. "Sir Paul always puts on a wonderful show. It was great to see people of all ages enjoying his music. I feel fortunate that I was able to be there."
"Awesome show! What I found amazing is that we never saw him take one drink of water whole time he was on stage," said Kelly Lawrence. "That's a legend doing it for the fans!"
Sandra Boetcher was more direct. "Best. Concert. Ever," she wrote.
McCartney was warm and engaging with the crowd, telling stories on stage and paying tribute to deceased Beatles John Lennon and Harrison. He also reminded fans he wrote "Maybe I'm Amazed" in 1970 for his late wife, Linda.
McCartney's 2013 Out There tour will take him to Seattle, San Francisco and several dates in Canada through mid-August.

Unmeasured Danger: America's Hidden Groundwater Crisis
Farmers in the western United States are drilling ever deeper to water their crops. Mainers are concerned with lowered water levels in their wells when water bottlers come to town. Arizonans see the Santa Cruz River withering away. In communities around the country, these citizens are all seeing the effects of a decline in one of our most crucial but least understood natural resources: groundwater.
The water that settles between rocks and dirt under the earth' surface after it rains accounts for about 40 percent of our drinking and agricultural water supply. Through the watershed, it links to surface waters, which share sources of water from both above and below the ground. When it disappears, pumping through wells becomes harder and more expensive; rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands dry up; and even the land itself can cave in.
Today, our groundwater resources are disappearing in many parts of the country. In some regions, underground water levels are falling because we are pumping water through wells faster than it is naturally replaced by rainfall. This may permanently damage our aquifers capacity to hold water, and can have broad consequences for our entire freshwater supply.
How much danger are we in? We don't know. According to the United States Geological Survey, no one has ever comprehensively studied groundwater level declines across the country. Many states collect data on a local level, but vary in how much data they collect and the resources they contribute to such projects. Even when states do collect data, local data can only provide limited information about whole aquifers, which often cross state lines.
Because groundwater pools beneath our feet, we do not always register its absence until the effects become drastic.
Without scientific data on groundwater availability, state water managers cannot make sound decisions about water allocation. That is why scientists, government agencies and non-governmental organizations are asking the federal government to collect groundwater quantity and quality data on a national scale.
We cannot wait for the visible effects of groundwater depletion to kick in before taking action. The federal government must take action now by supporting nationwide groundwater data collection projects so that we can accurately evaluate the status of our groundwater and take steps to protect it before it is too late

Judge orders Clark to surrender by noon on Tuesday
A federal judge has denied former Lighthouse Inn owner Maureen Clark's motion to remain free while appealing her investment fraud conviction and ordered her to report to the Bureau of Prisons by no later than noon today.
A federal jury in July 2012 found the 58-year-old Stonington resident guilty of 20 felony crimes, including one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, 13 counts of wire fraud and six counts of money laundering.
Judge Warren W. Eginton sentenced Clark to 87 months in prison in March and ordered her to repay the victims. While the case was pending, Clark has been free on a $600,000 surety bond and has been monitored by a federal probation officer. She was initially due to report to prison in April but received a 60-day extension to get her personal and financial affairs in order.
She was again due to report to prison last month but New Haven attorney Todd Bussert filed a motion to allow Clark to remain free while her appeal is pending. Eginton continued the surrender date and held a hearing on the motion. On July 9, he denied the motion and ordered Clark to report to prison no later than noontime on July 16.
According to the government, Clark and her business partner, Christopher Plummer, defrauded investors of $1.7 million in a resort investment scheme in Mississippi and spent the money on the failing Lighthouse Inn in New London and on themselves. Plummer pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges and is serving a 51-month prison sentence.

Meeting of NSW Scripture Teachers
On Tuesday, 21 February 2012, His Grace Bishop Irinej convened a special meeting with clergy and lay teachers who implement Special Religious Education (SRE, aka Scripture Classes) in the Sydney area at the Metropolitanate Headquarters in Alexandria.
The Serbian Orthodox Diocese, come Metropolitanate of Australia (and New Zealand) has been registered as of 4 January 2007, as a provider for Special Religious Education in the public and private schools of New South Wales.
Working in tandem with the Very Rev. Fr Sasa Radoicic, representative to the Special Religious Education Board of New South Wales and lecturer within the Mona Vale and Dee Why Public School Systems, and Ms Angela Jankovic, representative to Inter-Church Commission on Religious Education in Schools (ICCOREIS), Bishop Irinej would like to bolster the curriculum and expand the program to other school districts within NSW.
Working in tandem with local Metropolitanate educational representatives, the Very Rev. Sasa Radoicic and Ms Angela Jankovic, Bishop Irinej would like to bolster the curriculum and expand the program to other school districts within NSW.
The Very Rev. Fr Sasa Radoicic, parish priest at the St Sava Pro-Cathedral in Mova Vale, is the representative to the Special Religious Education Board of New South Wales and lecturer within the Mona Vale and Dee Why Public School Systems. Ms Angela Jankovic, Program Manager/Facilitator for Schools as Community Centres (SACC), based at Dee Why Public School and Regional Community Liaison/Information officer for the North Sydney Region - NSW Department of Education & Communities, is the representative to Inter-Church Commission on Religious Education in Schools (ICCOREIS).
In accordance with the new Rules and Regulations governing Special Religious Education in New South Wales, the providers of SRE classes, are required to publish online the curriculum which is incorporated in the teaching of Scripture Classes. To that end, The Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand has subscribed to the Pan-Orthodox scriptural curriculum offered by the Orthodox Christian Education Commission (OCEC: www.orthodoxed.org).
Two of the student workbooks, Finding Your Way Through the Bible and Exploring How the Bible Came to Be, were selected for this initial phase as they were designed to help the primary and secondary level elementary schools students to become familiar with the Bible; how it is divided; how to look up passages; how it was formed in the Old and New Testament periods. Importantly, both are complete with self-instruction, so that the students can use them in the classroom and continue their studies at home.
For the more advanced students (Grades 3 - 7, High School, Adult), Biblical and Liturgical Charts has been added. This concise, informative, and interesting workbook forms the living link between Scripture and Orthodoxy! These charts provide a necessary historical perspective to the concepts presented during the year's work. Facts on the Paschal and Festal Cycles, Salvation History, the Bible, Sacraments and the Creed are readily accessible. Exercises are included for study and review.
The Orthodox Faith Volume III: Bible and Church History, a handbook to aid the teachers in preparing their lessons, offers explanation of the contents and interpretation of the Bible; plus a basic historical presentation to the Church, emphasizing the main theological, liturgical, and spiritual developments of each century.
Additionally, the Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand will offer accrediting training for all SRE teachers, which would consist of the following six module teacher training courses, each consisting of two (2) hours: 1. Teaching SRE in public schools; 2. Child development and teaching; 3. Preparing and delivering a lesson; 4. Classroom management; 5. Denomination specific Biblical foundations; and 6. Supervised classroom experience.
Offering Scripture classes in the public school sector has effectively proven how many children have become actively engaged in the life of our Church. Our children must always be our first priority, for as His Grace has so often reflected: "If our children are not our present; they will never be our future!" Our collective future will be all the more promising and brighter with new and properly educated young generations.

Event Recap: CloudBees Deep DivePosted by ichristoffersen Apr 20, 2012
Special thanks to Spike Washburn and Jim McLoughlin for coming out to our group and talking about building and deploying JBoss applications in CloudBees. And to those that people who braved the rain, they were fortunate to see an impressive magic show.
The tagline for the talk of 'From Zero to Continuous Deployment in minutes' was unbelievable true. If you're like me and find yourself working on multiple projects throughout the year, a lot of the mundane tasks associated with these new projects revolve around the project bootstrap phase. Setting up a new code repository, setting up a new maven repository for your custom artifacts, installing jenkins and Sonar, installing multiple dev/test/prod instances of JBoss and MySQL to support development activities. All of this can take weeks - depending on whether or not the right resources are available. But all of this accidental complexity is getting in the way of our ability to write code that takes your requirements and turns them into fully functional applications.
Spike showed us an alternative approach with CloudBees. In an one hour talk, he was able to deploy multiple new MySQL instance, a new JBoss AS 7 instance, 3 different applications, and switch between a dev and qa instance. He even had time left to demonstrate true continuous deployment that was triggered by a git commit and a kicked off a Jenkins build that then deployed the new code base to a running JBoss AS 7 instance.
Project Bootstrap will never be that same again. Code Monkeys - start your IDEs.

Let's cut to the chase: it's really good! How often does one attend a musical comedy that is not only musically interesting but also entertaining and genuinely funny? Unfortunately the answer is: far less often than the ads want us to believe. Luckily that is far from the case with Elizabeth Gelman and Tom Sivak's engaging and clever entry in the New York Musical Theater Festival, "The Brain That Wouldn't Die! In 3-D!!!"
A first-rate ensemble cast performs a first-rate parody of what is purported to be the world's most execrable exercise in filmmaking (a movie of same name). Composer Tom Sivak's music captures the several flavors and moods of the 50s-60s top 40, and always with wit and imagination. The score featured clever musical quotes, ranging from Chopin-esque arrangements to direct lifts from the theme song of "Leave it to Beaver".
Lyrics by Gelman and Sivak sparkled with smart camp, with lines like "my medulla oblongata is working harder than it oughtta" and song titles such as "The Brain That Wouldn't Die-Yi!" Both of course refer to the highly perverted plot of experimental transplantation, which the reader can only imagine in their worst and funniest nightmares.
More than an honorable mention must be made of all six performers on the stage. Liz Baltes, Stephen R. Buntrock, Taryn Darr, Jamie Jackson, Brian Charles Rooney and Kathy Voytko each tell their part of this horror story with style: great singing and fast-paced delivery with great comic timing and more than a little panache. Musical director Annbritt duChateau, director Tim Drucker and choreographer J. Austin Eyer work together to create some wonderfully funny, and sometimes totally absurd, moments set to the right musical tones.
The "3-D" tag on the title turns out to be a great stylistic choice as well. We are promised the finale will be in 3-D, and so it is clear from the top that our tone is tongue-in-cheek. Prop design is cleverly all in 2-D, lending visual cheese to match the comedy in the script and staging.
"The Brain That Wouldn't Die! In 3-D!!!" surely deserves a longer life here in New York. We only hope it doesn't lose it's 2-D charm!
Now playing in the New York Muscial Theater Festival at The Barrow Group Theater, 312 W36th St., 3rd floor, tickets $25.
Wednesday Oct. 12 at 9pm
Friday Oct. 14 at 7:30pm
