Storage Payment Pros needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Storage Payment Pros
Company is a merchant services (credit card) sales organization exclusive the the Self Storage Industry. Therefore, a logo that projects strength, stability, integrity is required since the company is dealing with credit cards.
Not looking for any "cartoonish" clip art of credit cards or credit card machines attached to the logo. In fact, many times a unique font and color is all that is needed to appeal to us. Adding a design symbol is okay, but once again, not cartoonish clip art.
Credit Card Industry/Self-Storage Industry
A strong and unique font, coupled with good color, and maybe a simple design symbol (or not) should do the trick. (A box or square design symbol preferred since it will resemble a self-storage unit).
In fact, something similar to the 99designs logo may do the trick. Go for it!!!

Why Discussing New Business Models That Work Is A Good Idea
from the not-a-responsibility,-but-helpful dept
If we propose specifics, we leave ourselves vulnerable to the "but what about A or B? Those couldn't work with business model C!" It's an unending cat-and-mouse game. The classic example is the old "How to finance a blockbuster-caliber movie?" trope. Nobody ever considers that maybe the current system is the reason movies have to cost that much, do they?So? That's always true. People can always bring up a "what if?" and it's easy to then point out that there are similar "what ifs?" with the current system. To be honest, I've often found the "what if" discussions useful in thinking through even more new business model ideas, which is kind of cool.
If we offer generalities, like "Merchandise and sell experiences instead of commodities", they tend to be shot down in snarky sound-bites, like "So bands will have to sell T-shirts instead of records?"There are always going to be some people who misunderstand or (more likely) misrepresent your arguments. The "sell lots of t-shirts" trope is so common we used to sell an actual t-shirt that said "looooooooots of t-shirts" on it. And it was a decent seller! Point being: you'll never convince everyone -- especially those who have no interest in being convinced. But, having been at this for a long time, I can assure you that for every person misrepresenting such arguments, there are many others who are recognizing the truth of the opportunities opening up around them. I can't even begin to tell you how many content creators contact me talking about how they used to believe the old party line on copyright (or, more commonly, that they believed there was no hope for making money these days), but that they ended up becoming inspired by reading through some of the many examples of business models that worked.
It keeps the conversation on the content industry's terms. They can be the "victims" needing a "rescue" strategy. It's sure a great shift of attention from the rest of society being denied access to information and the natural rights to communicate and shareI'm not sure about this at all. In talking to and working with numerous content creators working through business model challenges, I just don't see this. The discussions about business models are never about "rescuing" anyone -- just straight up brainstorming about cool things that can be done.
It's needlessly speculative. Indeed, it reminds me a lot of the earliest "home computer" books dumped out by the thousands in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The authors spent hours arguing that we'd all be managing recipies or doing computer-driven teaching, and then VisiCalc happened and people forgot all about recipe-management. No doubt it will be the same. Someone finds the "killer model" for post-monopoly revenue generation, but it's probably not gonna happen until there's no other choice but to find one. And much like the cuddly toy in the caption image, some of the suggested models aren't gonna fly in the real world.Well, to be clear, we've always said that there isn't a magic bullet business model that works for everyone -- and that the "new business model" involves experimenting with a number of opportunities, much of which depends on the content creator themselves, their audience and the relationship between the two.
So, for us, the highlighting of new business models serves a number of different purposes. First off, it's just plain helpful to lots of artists. And that seems like a good thing. Second, it debunks the claim that copyright is the only business model, which seems to be an implicit (and sometimes explicit) assumption by many, unfortunately. Third, doing so quite often inspires others to try more cool new things themselves. And that can only be a good thing. Much of this is about experimenting and recognizing that there isn't just one way to do things any more. That can be scary and a big challenge for many artists, but it also means that there's tremendous opportunity.
Finally, whether or not it's "our job" to highlight alternative business models, if you don't, none of the claims above go away. People will still attack and complain that there are no business models that work without copyright. A decade ago (after about five years of highlighting problems with the system) I finally started focusing more regularly on highlighting positive examples, and on the whole the experience has been much more beneficial than negative. It's resulted in a lot more interesting conversations with content creators from super stars to kids just starting out -- often leading to cool new experiments and more opportunities. It's also resulted in some really interesting conversations with execs from the legacy industry really looking to help adapt to the changing market. If I was just talking about the problems of copyright, none of that would likely have happened.
A friend of mine who is a successful CEO had a rule at his company, which was that no one was allowed to highlight a problem without also at least tossing out a possible solution, even if it was just to kick off brainstorming. That might be extreme, but it seems like a handy tool. If you're only complaining, it's easier for people to write you off. If you're also highlighting possible solutions, there's a lot of benefit. Also, frankly, it's often a lot of fun to talk about cool things that people are doing.

What if my ancestors did not live in a town? How do I find their exact location?
In a recent blog post, I described a way to find the exact address of someone living in a city using U.S. Census records and City Directories. This exact location is helpful to distinguish between people with the same or very similar names living in the same area. It is also helpful for finding a myriad of genealogical records that are stored and maintained geographically. But what about the situation where the ancestor lives in a rural area? And more importantly, what if the ancestor did not own any property?
The key to all of these issues will depend on the country you are researching. But in the United States (and the colonies before independence) the issues of location are tied into land ownership. It may seem overly simplistic, but you can find the land owned by looking at the ownership records for any given location. Ownership and title to real property has always been an issue since ancient times. In the United States and many other countries, there are whole commercial industries based solely on the service of providing a chain of ownership for any particular parcel of real property. Although the form and content of the reports these agencies provide may vary from state to state and country to country, the need to show a chain of ownership does not vary. In the United States these companies are called title abstractors or title companies. In the UK, they have local and nation wide Land Registry Offices. In Australia, for example, Land Titles are handled on a provincial basis. You can also go to the Land Titles and Title Plans site for Australia and New Zealand. These services are usually not free and can run many hundreds of dollars in the local currency.
There are many different kinds of records that can show land ownership as well as tenants. Some of these records would seem to have no relationship to land ownership, but nonetheless are sources to find a record of the ownership of the property and thereby assist in specifying the location of your ancestors. For example, U.S. Census records. Ancestry.com and many other sources provide blank U.S. Census forms that show the categories of questions asked. Many of the years of the U.S. Census ask specific questions as to whether the home was owned or rented. This applies to people living both within cities and those living in rural areas. If your ancestor shows land ownership in a census, there is an automatic need to look into the land records for the area where your ancestor was found in the census. As time goes on, more and more of these types of records are becoming searchable online. In my own state of Arizona, title records from the County Recorders, in many cases, can be viewed online for free.
Finding the exact location of where your ancestors lived is wrapped up in all of the rest of the research you do about your family. The types of documents that may show an address or similar location are almost without end. For example, both letters and photographs have been used to pinpoint an exact location. Listing all the types of records that might assist in finding the location is essentially the same as listing all the documents available for research. Any type of document from town records in New England to tax records can give enough information to establish a basis for doing a title search in any given area. Many of the agencies that maintain such records have what are called grantor/grantee indexes. This means that they have a list of all the people both buying and selling the land. Few, if any, of these records are kept by genealogy companies but there are notable exceptions. Ancestry.com presently has 332 collections of land records including millions of records of U.S. Indexed County Land Ownership Maps from 1860 to 1918 among many other valuable records. These records, also available from the Library of Congress, are the counterpart to the city directories and are collectively known as county landownership atlases.
In the U.S. we have a whole category of records dealing with the original acquisition of the land from the Federal Government. There is an online index with links to the original land patents for all Homestead property in the western United States in the Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office Records. The image at the beginning of this post is a copy of the Land Patent issued to my Great-grandfather, Henry Martin Tanner. This document shows exactly the land owned by my ancestor.
The point here is that finding the exact location of where an ancestor lived is the key to locating additional documents, but rather than search for birth and death dates, the real investigation should focus on locating the ancestor first. The records that might show this information are seldom searched by genealogists.

The actual patent images sometimes have useful information that isn't indexed, such as middle names, junior or senior designation, or "of place X". I found one that identified a whole group of people as the heirs of another person.
The maps are fun, too. You can often find neighbors (who turn into spouses) or just see what kind of land your ancestors bought.

I agree that records of land ownership are important for pinning down ancestors to a particulat place and time. In the United States it is relatively easy to trace a chain of title, compared with England. The newly independent US had the good sense to reform property tenures and introduce accurate legal land descriptions.ReplyDelete
The UK Land Registry was established in 1862, and the registration of transfers of ownership have only been compulsory in the whole of England and Wales since 1990, so might not be registered at all if it has not changed hands since. Prior to the abolition of copyhold tenure in 1926, only freehold propery could be registered. Copyhold was a feudal tenure governed by the manor, so land transfers were recorded by the manorial courts baron.
Just always remember that the most effective way in performing this kind of search is the one who can give you the most complete and valid information.ReplyDelete

agree Eurovision looks even sillier - interestng with so many songs in English including the French
It occurs that its almiost as tho the rest were punishing England - we got the language and the most successful pop (Amy winehouse, Duffy, Coldoplay and whole list are played throughout Euroland)
and most of the presenters from different countries had dyed blonde hair
here's a somewhat political reading of Eurovision by moi http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jh ... euro19.xml
anyway now is the tie for the Brits to organise an alternative somehow - imagine a show with say
UK: Rachel Unthank
France: Camille
Belgium: Think Of ONe (I think they are belgian..)
Spain: Amparanoia
Romania; Tarafs
Italy: Paulo Conte
add your own notions. Who should be on the ideal Altenative Eurovision show?
Imagine, too, its on prime time with millions of viewers - actually its all possible- anone wanna pitch it?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the quarterfinals of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship Tournament, the MIT women's volleyball team defeated Smith College, 25-13, 25-15, 25-23, on Tuesday evening. With the win, Tech (22-10) will advance to the semifinals and will face top-seeded Springfield College on Saturday, Nov. 9. The Pioneers ended their season with a record of 21-8.
Freshman Megan Gebhard (Howell, Mich.) led the Engineers with her 10 kills, 12 digs and five aces, while senior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) tallied a match-high 13 kills. Junior Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.) added 37 assists, two aces, four digs and two blocks and senior Emma Gargus (Columbus, Ohio) had five kills and six blocks. Senior Sharon Hao (San Jose, Calif.) added five digs, while classmate Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) had six kills and two blocks. Senior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) tacked on eight kills in the win and freshman Tori Wuthrich (Gross Pointe Woods, Mich.) contributed 14 digs and three aces.
Senior Paige Sarlandt (Cloverdale, Calif.) led Smith with eight kills, three digs and four blocks and classmate Bethany Ashworth (North Falmouth, Mass.) tallied 14 assists, two kills, four digs and a block. Fellow senior Rosa Drummond (Rye, N.H.) added on five kills, two aces and two blocks and freshman Julie Voorhes (Ramona, Calif.) had 12 digs. Sophomore Mei-Li Smith (Cypress, Calif.) had five digs and two blocks and senior Sonia Brown (Amherst, Mass.) had eight digs.
MIT took a 3-1 lead in the first set, but following two kills by Smith, the score was soon tied at three. From that point, the Engineers began to pull away and, after back-to-back aces, Tech held a 12-7 advantage. Following a Smith timeout, MIT capitalized on several miscues and increased its lead to 15-7. Smith took advantage of a service error and added an ace, courtesy of junior Kristi Hammond (Yona, Gaum), to lessen Tech's lead to 21-11, but MIT responded by scoring the last four points to take the win.
With the score tied at six in the second set, back-to-back kills by Berger along with an ace by Wuthrich and a block by Gagnier and Gargus gave MIT some breathing room. Smith stayed within striking distance after a Hammond kill narrowed to score to five (17-12), but the Engineers ended the set on an 8-3 run.
The third set was the closest and the most aggressive set of the night, which included 11 ties and six lead changes. Smith took a 7-2 lead to start the set, but MIT tied the score at 12-12 after a setting error. The score was tied on seven more occasions and the lead changed hands four times before the end of the set. With the frame knotted at 23, Hao came off the bench and had two aces in a row to clinch the win for the Engineers.

Dakota Fanning Defends Kristen Stewart in 'InStyle UK'
Dakota Fanning looks stunning on the cover of InStyle UK's December 2012 issue, on newsstands November 8.
Here is what the 18-year-old Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 actress had to share with the mag:
On her friend and co-star Kristen Stewart's recent scandal: "Well, I just think that media frenzies like that… Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicize the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It's like, 'Why do you think you are the authority to judge people's experiences?'"
On shooting a rape scene at 14-years-old: "I've always been drawn to material that's more kind of heavy, you know? Whether it be dark or dramatic or sometimes disturbing. And that can be hard to do when people think you're still a kid."
On only ever having one boyfriend in her life: "You know, I'm not the kind of girl or person who really wants boyfriends in my life. I'm also the kind of person… I'm very black and white in what I feel and I don't wanna be with someone that I don't foresee spending a long time with."

Penknives and other folding knives details:
Penknives and other folding knives by S.Moore Soft back, 32 pages, Illustrated B&W, 15cm x 21cm.
This book traces the history of folding knives, describing a wide variety of the types produced up to the present day.
- Folding knives in history
- Spring-back knives
- Folding fruit knives
- Penknives
- Into the twentieth century
- Advice for collectors
- Makers' marks on folding fruit knives
- Further reading
- Places to visit.
On the back cover:
The term 'penknife' is a misnomer for what is correctly called a pocket knife. It was originally applied to folding knives that evolved from earlier scribes' knives during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but the history of folding knives goes back two thousand years. Not until the mid seventeenth century were these useful tools fully established, with the invention of the spring-back to hold the blade open or closed. They evolved into a multiplicity of shapes and sizes, often combining as many uses as the number of blades that cutlers could mount into the handle. This book traces the history of folding knives, describing a wide variety of the types produced up to the present day.
Roman folding knives were sometimes assimilated into spoon handles, the blade lying along the handle when not in use. The spoon itself was also sometimes made to fold, so that a complete eating implement could be carried more easily.
A knife said to have been given to Nell Gwynne by Charles II is an example of the so-called 'rivetless' knives made by French cutlers in the late seventeenth century. In fact the rivets were cunningly concealed. The knife has two blades, one of steel for general purpose, the other of silver for cutting fruit - silver being resistant to fruit acids.
As Sheffield overtook London as Britain's main knife-making centre, the Sheffield Assay office was opened in 1773, and its hallmark, a crown, appears on the blades of folding knives

Garrett AT Max Z-Lynk packageChose this package as I wanted a credible bit of kit to get into the hobby, so far I am not disappointed. Service from Regton was superb. Delivery was fast, even over the festive season and it was clear that the unit had been checked and batteries already fitted. The detector itself looks and feels like decent quality. Headphones comfortable with great audio quality. Easy to assemble, set-up and get going. Too much kit for a newbie...nahAndyC

Please review the following links for important information and steps needed to download, install, and verify that the update has been correctly implemented.
CRM Software (Customer Relationship Management)
Commence Corporation's web customer relationship software provides a suite of software applications that have been designed specifically for small to mid-size businesses that are seeking an easy to use, rapidly deployable affordable solution for customer management.
Contact Management Software
Contact management systems are focused on managing the interaction with people vs. the interaction with accounts or companies. Contact management software typically stores name, address, phone, e-mail, notes and historical information. Commence delivers a more robust offering and includes SFA/sales automation, database marketing, and customer service applications along with consulting services.
Online CRM
This is simply a term used to describe software that is deployed over the Internet via a web browser. Commence Corporation is a vendor that offers online software for mid-size businesses looking to improve how they manage their relationships with customers.
Customer Management Software
Customer management software systems are focused on managing the interaction with customer accounts or companies. Customer manager software typically stores company name, multiple locations or addresses (such as a branch location), multiple phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes and historical information. In addition, the customer record is used to organize all the contacts within the account and show all related information and interactions across the different customer contacts. Commence delivers a robust Business to business offering and includes SFA/sales automation, database marketing, and customer service applications along consulting services.
Sales Management Software
Sales Management Software provides features to automate the selling process from introduction to closure and the ability to manage each stage of the sales cycle. Sales managers need more than contact information to manage complex sales processes, but they don't want to be saddled with an overly complex sales system that requires hours of administration.
Collaborative Software
Collaborative systems manage the full life cycle of customer interaction and involve multiple departments and multiple job functions. The objective here is to ensure that people throughout the organization have access to vital customer information in order to make informed business decisions. Collaborative software often involves the integration of disparate systems such as Microsoft Outlook, Accounting or ERP systems.
Social CRM Software
Social networking is becoming an important vehicle for sharing information and building brand recognition and is being touted as the way people will communicate in the future. Common sites include Twitter, Face Book, and Linked In. Commence Corporation has incorporated social networking into its web based CRM solution for small businesses.
CRM Online
This is simply another term used to describe software that is deployed over the Internet via a web browser. Commence Corporation offers a top rated online CRM software solution for mid-size businesses.
Hosted CRM Software
This term traditionally represents software that resides on desktop computers under a client server deployment. The server is managed and maintained by a third party vendor at their data center. The exchange of customer data between the desktop computer and server is done via synchronization over the Internet. Commence Corporation offers a hosted solution for small to mid-size businesses.
Outlook CRM
Microsoft's Outlook program is utilized by the majority of businesses for e-mail, calendaring and task management. Commence is seamlessly integrated with Outlook enabling the end user to read their e-mail, schedule activities and access their calendar right within the Commence system. This helps businesses to provide better customer management and customer service.
Small Business CRM
Small businesses are more concerned with a products ease of use then having every bell and whistle available. Commence is a web Customer Relationship Management solution that has been designed specifically for small to mid-size businesses and may be deployed on premise or as a web based solution. Commence also offers an array of consulting services to assist with integration, application development and implementing small business management software.
Sales Tracking Software
Sales Tracking software refers to the automation of the selling process from introduction to closure and the ability to report on and manage each stage of the sales cycle. Commence offers this functionality as a component of its web based solution.
Commence vs. Salesforce.com
SalesForce.com is a web solution designed for enterprise corporations and is functionality rich, but too difficult to use and too expensive for small to mid-size businesses. Commence software is designed for smaller businesses and is easier to use and less expensive than salesforce.com.
Commence vs. Microsoft CRM
Microsoft Dynamics is a desktop solution sold and implemented by third party providers. It's fairly expensive to purchase and even more expensive to implement and maintain. The company has announced a web-based offering that is designed to address the concerns above. Both products are sold and maintained by third party providers, which means you are not working directly with Microsoft, but instead with Microsoft partners. Commence customer management software is a comprehensive suite of fully integrated web applications that has been specifically designed for sales, marketing and customer management. Commence is easy to deploy, easy to use, customizable and the most affordable web solution for growing businesses.
Commence vs. SugarCRM
Sugar's origination is what is known as open source software, meaning it's free to the public. These provided the company with a great deal of visibility and free testing. The product however is fairly limited in its core functionality, requiring customers to then pay for additional features that are core to their business. Commence is a comprehensive suite of fully integrated business applications that have been specifically designed for growing businesses.

BEDFORD, N.Y. -- Mary Richardson Kennedy's family has hired an investigation firm to look into her death, The New York Post reported Sunday.
In the months after the estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. committed suicide at her Bedford home, the Post reported, high-powered Washington, D.C. firm Investigative Group International (IGI) assigned Gary Fishman, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney, to lead a probe into many "unanswered questions" surrounding the case, according to sources interviewed by the firm following Kennedy's May 16 hanging death.
The Richardson family has not filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, according to The Post.
IGI, the Richardson family and RFK Jr. all declined to comment for The Post's story, although an IGI receptionist said that Fishman left the firm in September.

Christmas MusicWhat songs did your family listen to during Christmas? Did you ever go caroling? Did you have a favorite song?
Growing up, my family listened to traditional and church music for the Christmas season. There's usually a radio station or two around that switch to an all-Christmas format for the season. By preference, I tended to like the novelty songs, like I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas, or the Chipmunks Song. I still like those.
As I got a little older and developed my own tastes in music, I came to like some more contemporary Christmas music, such as the Mannheim Steamroller offerings, and Amy Grant and the Oak Ridge Boys. Now, I'm not ever a fan of country music, but for some reason, the Oak Ridge Boys have a couple of albums I can handle. Mannheim Steamroller I actually saw in concert for their Christmas 1986 tour, where they played many of the songs on their first Christmas album. That disc was the first CD I ever purchased.
This is not to say I don't like the traditional renditions. I like hearing Bing singing White Christmas as much as the next guy. But for my preference, I'll start with Mannhein Steamroller or Trans Siberian Orchestra.
The odd thing is, by the time I remember to throw some music in the players, it's almost too late. I have yet to put in an album this year!

Bovine Adventures at Drowsy Water Ranch
Ahhh, the Bovine.
What a wonderful creature. Here at Drowsy Water Ranch, we have one or two of them to play with. In the winter, Randy Sue keeps about 30 mama cows down the road and a few younger "yearlings" up here at the ranch. They eat, a lot. And they moo. And then the food comes out. It sounds boring, I know, but really, they're great fun. The next blog or two will be about keeping cattle at a Colorado Dude Ranch--a fun but time consuming endeavor.
We'll start now, with the little guys that eat and moo and poop just a few feet from where I have parked my rear. (Please, no comments on my rear in relation to a cow's. . .brother John, that especially means you!).
A yearling is cow that was born last spring. Most of the calves born in the spring are sold in the fall to a buyer but, occasionally, we'll keep a few around here for one reason or another. Maybe the calf was too small to sell, maybe she was a little sick or hurt, maybe we need a replacement heifer, or maybe we want to keep a steer for team penning next summer. Whatever the reason, they hang out at the ranch all winter and are fed daily.
Their close proximity to us means they often become quite friendly. How many of you have ever been friends with a bovine? Probably not many of you. They are some of the funniest friends you'll have.
They wash our hands for us. . .And give us warm kisses. . .
And they LOVE treats!

Welcome Our New Editors!
Serious Eats is bustin' out all over. In the last year we've added Sweets, Drinks, and Chicago to our family of blogs. And as good as Carey, Erin, Kenji, Maggie, Robyn, Nick, and Meredith are, even they cry uncle once in awhile. So we've added a couple of amazing full-time Serious Eaters to the crew, and we wanted to officially welcome them.
Don't worry. They're hardly strangers to our wonderful community, as you're about to find out. Max Falkowitz and Carrie Vasios are longtime Serious Eaters, and we're thrilled that they're joining us. We're also thrilled that Carey Jones and Erin Zimmer are stepping up to new, exciting roles.
But rather than talk too much, I'll let each of the editors tell you what they'll be doing now. In their own words.
Max Falkowitz, New York Editor
Hi everyone, I'm Max, and I've been writing for Serious Eats for two years as the author of Spice Hunting and Scooped. I couldn't be more excited to take the reins as editor of Serious Eats: New York. In addition to all our wonderful features, we'll explore ways to make the site even more of a go-to destination for every New Yorker who loves to eat. You can expect even more dispatches from the city's ethnic dining capitals and stories from the amazing people who work so hard to bring us our daily meals.
Carrie Vasios, Sweets Editor
I'm Carrie, and I've been with SE since January of 2011. I write three columns (Serious Entertaining, Wake and Bake, and Cookie Monster) and act as Community Manager for the site. I've recently taken over as editor of Sweets, which is a sugar-filled dream come true. I can't wait to expand our Sweets coverage, focusing on everything from new candies to behind-the-scenes baking.
Carey Jones, Senior Managing Editor
Serious Eats has been part of my life since I was Ed's first intern, before the site launched in 2006; for the last three years, I've been the editor of Serious Eats: New York, with a little work helping Maggie out on Sweets.
Now, I'll be the Senior Managing Editor—coordinating the many sites that make up the wide world of Serious Eats, assisting editors on new site launches, and generally making sure that every little corner of the site lives up to the standards we set for ourselves at Serious Eats. I'll still be chiming in on all things New York, with reviews, roundups, and more. But my main goal from here on out is to help all the other all-star editors make their sites as great as they can be. We couldn't have a better team to do it.
Erin Zimmer, National Managing Editor
It was back in 2007 that I first emailed Ed as a fangirl, telling him how much I loved Serious Eats; the next thing I knew, he was hiring me as the SE: Washington Bureau Chief (still the most official-sounding title on my resume). In 2008, I moved up to New York from D.C. to work at the storied SEHQ, and boy has it been an amazing ride watching the sites grow in so many dynamic directions. As the National Managing Editor, I'm eager to continue working with our enormously talented team of writers and editors (you already know and love them as much as I do) while developing more editorial partnerships and community events.
J. Kenji Lopéz-Alt, Chief Creative Officer
I've been writing my Food Lab column for Serious Eats since 2009 and have been the Managing Editor of the site since 2010. As the new Chief Creative Officer (a title we completely made up), I'll now be working exclusively on improving our recipe, technique, taste test, and equipment columns, as well as continuing to manage all of our video content. We've always had an extremely strong recipes program, thanks to our amazing lineup of recipe writers and testers. My goal is to make Serious Eats your first and only stop for finding the best, most fun, most interesting, and—most important of all—most reliable free recipes on-line. I'll also be working with Jessica, our outstanding videographer on bringing you more unique and original video content. Want to see more of a particular type of recipe? Want to know what's the best jarred salsa? Feel free to contact me any time at [email protected] with questions, comments or ideas about our recipes, techniques, taste tests, and equipment columns!
Maggie Hoffman, Drinks Editor
I'm Maggie, Drinks editor (and founder) and I started out writing about craft beer for SE back in 2009 (and we launched Drinks about a year ago as a dedicated site). I edited SE: Sweets with Carey Jones for the last 7 months, but now I'm pumped to hand the reins over to the fabulous Carrie V, so I can focus on my awesome drinks contributors and explore the world of sippable deliciousness full time.
Nick Kindelsperger, Chicago Editor
I'm Nick, the editor of Serious Eats Chicago. Though the site only launched back in November of 2011, I've actually been writing for SE since way back in 2007, when I first started the Dinner Tonight column. You can usually find me on the hunt for the most delicious foods in Chicago, including my never ending quest for the best taco.
Meredith Smith, Slice Editor
Hey Serious Eaters, I'm Meredith. I started writing for Slice last January, and I'm quickly approaching a full year as the editor. I'm looking forward to keeping you up to speed on all the saucy, cheesy happenings while continuing to collaborate with contributors to bring you better and better pizza-filled original content.
Robyn Lee, A Hamburger Today and Photo Editor
I'm Robyn, AHT editor and overall Serious Eats photographer and photo editor. I started interning at SE in January of 2007, and by the end of the year I was part of the full-time staff. Unlike everyone else, my role isn't really changing; my goals are to continue pumping up our burger content, improving photos, and, if I have spare time, drawing more doodles.
So let's give a warm Serious Eats welcome to Carrie Vasios and Max Falkowitz, and a round of applause for all our fine editors. Welcome to the fray, Carrie and Max. We're thrilled to have you.

What people say about this Strathwood Basics Hardwood Chaise Lounge?
not exactly ready to go, out of the box
Assembly was tedious but no more than 30 minutes.
The wood needed a couple spots sanded and the whole thing was oily on arrival. I rubbed it down with a cloth for 4-5 days while it sat out in the sun.
The sliding table (preassembled) no longer slides (2 weeks outside.) It is jammed tight. I guess the wood expanded in the track.
The wheels are wobbly and and I just noticed one has a crack half way through it.
The whole thing could also be a couple inches higher.
Anyway, its cheap.
I ordered the matching table and chairs, but the Eagle trucking company broke another delivery appointment after having me wait at home during their 8 hour delivery window.
Sept 2007 Update:
Well it's been outside (Pennsylvania weather) for two years. I applied a deck sealer in the Fall of 2006 and again in Aug 2007. It actually looks good after a light sanding and a fresh coat of wood sealer. However, the wooden wheels have…

they'd better not otaku it up. Despite the really wierd hook (drool) the series is cute and genuine in it's own wierd way. This comes all down to the director, he has to keep the laid back, easy going tone about it.

What? this series is getting animated too? Granted, while I kind of like this series, the manga is such a niche series that I never though it would had a chance.
From the look of things 2012 is looking like a year with obscure series that shows that anime studio is running out of stuff to adapt again following 4-koma and LN rages of past couple years.
And BTW, quit misusing the word otaku. The only one that would read that series are otaku themselves and there is no point to otaku it up. It's a obscure, little seinen series just like Maken-ki, K-On, Lucky Star, etc were before they got anime-adapted.

djmaca, you obvious have no idea how manga/LN and in extension how anime are categorized demographically in Japan and ACg community. It's not about content, it about the magazine the work is serialized on which determines it's target audience.
Mysterious Girlfriend X is Seinen, while it has being around for a while and is a nice little series that I enjoy, it is one of those series that did just enough in tankoban sales to stay serialized in it's published magazine.
The series is published monthly on "Afternoon", one of the longest running and popular "Seinen" magazine. The magazine also currently features Ah My Goddess, Genshiken, Blade of Immortal, Historie, Vinland Saga, Okiku Furikabutte and more. Former serialization includes Parasyte, Gunsmith Cat, Shadow Skill, Mushishi, Shion no Ō, You are Under Arrest, etc.
Mysterious Girlfriend X is at best an slightly above-average title in that magazine in terms of popularity and by far not the main draw of readership for that magazine based on tankoban sales and reader response.
Since the magazine is categorized as Seinen, by definition the title is a Seinen series targets said demographic (17+).
Even if you want to talk about content, the implied sexual tension and the showing of nipples in nude scene should automatically disqualify it as shounen which is aimed at 13-17. Granted there are shounen that have more "fan service" (like Nagima or To Love) but those series kept the skin hidden and doesn't change the fact that those two are Shounen and Mysterious Girlfriend X is Seinen as far as categorization goes.

Seinen also contains slice-of-life stories (K-ON!), shonen-like stories (Tenjho Tenge, Needless), and it seems that seinen has subject matters that are more diverse than shounen or shoujo stories.

When did Seinen mean any of those thing?
I already explained it clear enough, you can also go check all the manga reference sites and even Wiki and see the age/demographic tag.
Seinen in Japanese mean Young Adult Male ages 20-30. It is an age demographic term not genre term. Afternoon is Seinen magazine target at 17+ and Mysterious Girlfriend X is one of the titles in that 800+ page magazine hence makes it Seinen.
Just like K-On, Luky Star and all the other titles I mentioned.
Shounen on the other hand means Teenage Boys ages 10-18 magazines labeled Shounen are aimed at said demographic and just like Seinen. Any readership gained outside of that demographic is purely bonus.
If you are talking about H-manga, they are a sub-division of Seinen, inclusive, but not exclusive.
Edit: MisaoFan beat me to it, but yeah, Seinen magazine usually offer less restraint and formulaic genre due to more lenient story-telling/arts and its target ages, but at same time it's popularity is behind Shounen [Young males/boys] and Shojo [Young female/girls] due to that target demographic as well.
Just so you know, series like K-on and Lucky Star and Yuru Yuri are primarily read bu 20-40 year old business/working men before the they got adapted into anime and so is Mysterious Girlfriend X.

Lucky Star is shounen (according to wiki, serialized in Kadokawa's Comptiq (a seinen/shounen manga magazine mainly focused on video games) and Shonen Ace), while K-ON! and Yuru Yuri are seinen.

Like pinoscotto said, shounen is a category aimed at young male (pre-teen/teen) audience, not a genre. In my country, when a people said "shounen", (s)he thinks about action, adventure, fighting and the like in a Dragon Ball/Naruto style, which I consider h(er)im as a anime noob.

The United States Department of Agriculture has opened a new agricultural trade office in China. The newest USDA office is located in the Sichuan capital of Chengdu, the fifth most populous city in China.
USDA presently operates another three offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. In 2007, China imported approximately $8.2 billion in agricultural goods from the U.S. The Chinese demand for U.S. cotton and soybeans is the largest market for those products anywhere in the world. Nuts, wine, and dairy products made significant jumps in 2007, with a 44 percent increase over 2006.
A. Ellen Terpstra, under secretary of USDA's Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services, believes China is an essential market for U.S. agriculture. "It is one of the world's largest economies and the fifth largest market for U.S. agricultural exports. Rising per capita incomes and steady economic growth are creating new demand for U.S. foods and beverages in this region. This office will help U.S. exporters position themselves to take advantage of these trends."
Following the Chengdu inauguration, Terpstra will attend the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade and the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue. As a member of a greater U.S. delegation, Terpstra is traveling with officials from a variety of U.S. governmental organizations, including the Treasury, Commerce, Health and Human Services departments, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The USDA currently has 102 overseas offices in 82 countries. The director of the Chengdu office is USDA's Kevin Latner. The Chengdu office can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

'A change is as good as a rest'
Once again I am quoting my dad in the title of this post, 'a change is as good as a rest'. I've decided to refresh the look of 'On a flesh and bone foundation': an Irish History. Over the last month I have wrestled with the idea of not only changing the background, but changing the title of this blog as well. However, after talking to a friend about it, I decided that the title is what it is because of the meaning behind it. My friend asked me why my blog has the title it does, and in order to answer her I had to cast my thoughts way back to the beginning of this blog.
I am very blessed to have my wonderful family members in Australia, England, and The United States of America, but the fact is that my family history, at its foundation, is essentially an Irish family history. My mother, my father, and my brother are all Irish born, and in the many generations back from them our family members were born, lived and died in Ireland. Although I am first generation Canadian, I hold Irish Citizenship and travel on an Irish passport. In the west country of Ireland, our paternal name can be traced back to the 8th century.
We are Irish to our very core, and that was what inspired the title of this blog, 'On a flesh and bone foundation': An Irish History. Although I have been composing basic family trees and doing some family history research since I was about 15 years old, for me building on the foundation of my family began in earnest after the death of my dad. The drive to rediscover the history of our family pushed my research further than ever before. There is something about getting a sense of the mortality of family members that brings such research into sharp focus.
Along the way, with respect to the title of this blog, I have encountered what was probably inevitable, given the inclusion of the words 'flesh' and 'bone', and I have at times regretted the title; however, the fact is the title still fits. The 'bones' of this story are the documents, the official records of birth, marriage, death, and so on, which stand as proof of my connection to my ancestors. The 'flesh' is the stories of my ancestors, the glorious and the ignoble, the joyous and the heartbreaking, all of the times which fill out the skeleton of a life.

Hi Val,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your lovely comment too. I really appreciate hearing from you here and on Google+.
Cheers to you,
Your new look is gorgeous! The writing, NEVER fails.ReplyDelete
As you know, I am a long-time fan of your blog. I'm glad you decided not to change the name of your blog. I love the new look. I changed the look of mine a couple of months ago, and although I can visualize a couple of updates, I'm generally glad I did it. I think your background pic is stunning.
Hello Carol and Hello Kathy,ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness ladies I am going to be walking around with a big head from all these compliments. I really appreciate every single comment I receive. Thank you so much to each one of you.
Cheers to you,
Jennifer, I'm glad you kept your blog title. I do really like it and for whatever reason, it speaks to me of Ireland (probably because it's an Irish blog, right?). Your new background image is lovely (though I admit to thinking your old background looked Irish, probably because of the green coastline). I wish you all the best in 2012.ReplyDelete

Jennifer, yours is one of the most well-written blogs I read and with my Irish heritage I'm always fascinated by your posts.ReplyDelete
Hello Nancy and Hello Cassmob,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your lovely comments; I really appreciate receiving them.
Nancy I too liked the old background with the photograph of the Cliffs of Moher. I had a lot of trouble letting go of that one especially since it holds a lot of great memories of travelling there with my family.
Cheers to each one of you,
Jennifer, I was traveling all day yesterday and today, so just got a chance to post this late add. I *love* your dad's sentiment and thoroughly agree with it! As for your changes, yes, leave the title as it stands. It is the exact replica of what you are trying to accomplish here. And your graphics are so fitting!ReplyDelete
Hi Jacqi,ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your comments; I always appreciate receiving them.

Neobie,Did you check through Recife? Lots of flights there to/from Europe. They might be all charters though.
At around 4:00 AM on Friday, June 14, I ran into the what I think was the Amazing Race at the Santiago airport. A friend and I went over to talk to them and asked what they were doing. They said they were filming a travel documentary about going places, but that just seemed like a cover story - some of the contestants were clearly uncomfortable talking about it. They said they didn't know where they were going next, but I later found a few contestants sitting at a gate for a flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I think Charla & Mirna went through Doha to Dubai in S5. Not sure though.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 15, 2009) - Sitting one spot ahead of Atlantic Sun Conference rival Mercer, the ETSU women's soccer team host the Bears in critical 1:30 p.m., league contest Friday at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
The Buccaneers (4-10-0, 3-3-0 A-Sun) enter the match with nine conference points, after dominating USC Upstate 5-0, Monday afternoon. In the match against the Spartans senior forward Jordan Monty (Mesqute, Texas), opened the Bucs three-match homestand with a goal and two assists. Overall, the Buc captain's five points on the day, sits as the second highest among A-Sun players this season for one match.
Defensively, sophomore keeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.), posted her season's third shutout against Upstate with five saves. Overall, the second-year starter leads all conference keepers with 99 stops, while sitting second in the A-Sun with a .825 save percentage.
Mercer (5-6-3, 2-4-1 A-Sun) enters the match with seven conference points. The Bears - who were picked second in the A-Sun Preseason Poll - had its best offensive performance of the season with a 6-1 win over Lipscomb, Sunday.
Defensive has been the key to Mercer's success as the Bears rank third in the A-Sun in goals allowed (15) and goals against average (1.04).
Individually, sophomore forward Olivia Tucker leads the Bear attack with 12 points (6 goals). The second-year all-conference player had her first multi-goal match against the Lady Bisons with three scores on the day.
Mercer leads the all-time series with ETSU 2-1-1. In their last meeting the 2008 A-Sun Regular Season champs defeated the Bucs 1-0 as Tucker headed home the game winner in the 80th minute.
Live stats will be available at the start of the match. To access the update scoring fans can click on the link above. Also attached above are the Atlantic Sun Conference weekly soccer notes.

Feeling a little blue...
I know each of you could remind me why I chose to take this new position, but today was a sad day all the same as I said good bye to a classroom full of kids for the last time. All my troubles with twelve year olds were totally erased, it's like I am suffering from amnesia and can only remember all the reasons I want to stay now! I was so sad to see my kids go, and I truly think if there was a gracious way to do it, without making a million enemies, I'd beg to teach 6th grade again next year! I guess it's good to leave on a positive note, but it would somehow seem a little easier if I didn't like my job and was moving on for that reason! Tomorrow I hope to finish moving most of my stuff, and start setting up my new room, it's on the 'other side' of the building, but somehow the walk feels really far right now! Imagine if I were moving to a new school, or ::gulp:: a new district?

All That Jazz
Tonight I inserted a little culture into my life (like spending 8 hours a day with 60 12 year olds doesn't create an environment full of 'cultural learning opportunities'....). I went to a jazz concert...and I thought-I enjoyed this, why don't I do it more often? I've done it before, I've had that thought before.....and then another three years passed between one concert to the next, someone hands me a free ticket to see a group I vaguely remembered that I enjoyed the last time I saw them....and the cycle continues!

I've always hated crocs, but I did get a pair a few weeks ago when I was shopping in Hot Springs. I took a picture of the cutest pair of ugly shoes I've had in awhile (Cotton Candy Colored) so this post would have a picture, post are more fun with pictures....and it's all about the entertainment value. Not too many life altering events-today I went with the sixth graders to Medieval Times. They did a great job, and I had a good time as well. This afternoon was the last of the baby showers for awhile. Tomorrow is Aunt Lois' b-day, so I've spent the evening helping my Mom bake a cake (and way I say helping-I mean-licking bowls because you never outgrow that). There are now 6 more days with students, and then we have a staff development on Friday,and most of the following week. I hope to get everything moved into my new classroom before I leave for vacation in a few weeks. And thus completes another post of random thoughts...

I'm 4/5ths of the way through the showers. It's been an enjoyable ride! This afternoon I went to Monica's shower out in Fort Worth. She's having a boy-Elijah Wade. His due date is the same day my Mom's was when she was pregnant with me. I let her know it would be a lot easier for me to remember if she could manage to have him on my birthday. She looks great, and she got loads of cute gifts. I managed to meet my sugar quota for the day too. This next Wednesday is the last of the showers for awhile (unless you know something I don't).

On Sunday evening I went to see the musical Wicked! I have heard about it for quite some time, and I intended to go when it was in town two years ago, but the tickets sold out, despite adding additional shows! The music I had heard was cute, and the story line sounded like something up my alley. What were the witches from OZ like before they were 'good' and 'bad?' The story is told from another perspective, and it turns out to be really great, and it explains how OZ came to be, I can't imagine anyone NOT enjoying it, and the packed crowd definitely did, I don't know that I can remember another show with so much energy and excitement. It was very funny and trendy! This has swung me back into the musical kick.....now I'm aiming to get tickets to Chicago starring Lisa Rinna with my Mom, Aunt and Cousin and I saw that the Lion King will be here during the fair! There are some other great ones too, but I'm trying to be conservative!

Hot Springs, Arkansas
This weekend I went to Hot Springs, AR with Sonia and Shelly, two friends from work. I would imagine that a lot of you already know this, but Hot Springs gets it's name because there are 'hot springs' running under ground in this mountainous area. The city was built around them, and you can walk up to hundreds of little springs and fill water bottles full of fresh (hot) spring water. The water gets as hot as 200 plus degrees and is full of minerals, which is the source the town was founded around. I'm posting a picture of what is called 'Bath House Row' Bath houses were created down the main street and people flocked from all over the country, and even the world at the turn of the century because they believed the minerals provided healing powers for general and serious problems. There are a ton of other fun things to see and do in Hot Springs, and there are still a few bath houses available, including the one at the very back of the first picture (the large two domed Arlington Hotel. The third floor is a historic bath house. We spent most of the day shopping along the cute little shops in downtown Hot Springs (second photo), and driving to the top of the mountain and sight seeing, and then we spent 90 minutes having mineral baths and massages, it was a really fun, and unique experience, and all three of us were totally relaxed afterwards. It's always fun to have a girls weekend :O)

Baby Buckaroo
Today was the first of 4 showers in the next two weeks (only one of which I'm hosting :O)). All went well, it was a shower at the school, so it's very low key (a new term I'm letting resonate in my head), AND.....hold the applause because if you know me, you will be shocked to know-I was able to recycle things I had used in previous showers (How's that sign looking, Kelly?), sooooo food/invites/plates etc were the only thing that needed to be purchased (expensive for 50 people, but NOTHING compared to the 'olden days'), how's that for turning over a new leaf? The menu was cupcakes with little 'tin star' toppers, lemonade (look family, Nicole?) and trail mix (in buckets and bags on the tables, along with crayons and butcher paper, everyone went to town coloring). Guest signed boots and we made a wreath for Gretchen to hang on her door when she brings Jacob Allen home!

INTERPOL Illicit Arms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS)
Modules and user access
iARMS data supports better detection and investigation of criminal firearms trafficking and smuggling routes. In addition, the combined analysis of IBIN and iARMS data is likely to increase significantly the ability of law enforcement agencies to detect, prevent and combat firearm-related crime, particularly through the identification of firearms traffickers and other violent criminals.
iARMS can be functionally divided into three components:
1. The Firearm Records Module facilitates international communication on lost, stolen, trafficked and smuggled firearms. The application enables authorized law enforcement agencies to:
- Create, manage and share records of lost, stolen, trafficked or smuggled firearms rapidly and securely;
- Notify a country quickly and easily when a recorded firearm is seized;
- Generate and analyse reporting on lost, stolen, trafficked or smuggled firearms.
2. The Trace Requests Module enables users to create, manage and respond to international firearm trace requests on crime-related firearms. It provides an easy-to-use platform for approved law enforcement agencies to:
- Submit a Trace Request;
- Read, monitor and export incoming and outgoing Trace Requests;
- Respond to or comment on an incoming Trace Request;
- Update the status of a Trace Request;
- Generate and analyse reporting on incoming and outgoing Trace Requests.
3. The Statistics and Reports Module supports INTERPOL member countries to analyse national data information on firearm-related crime and tracing, and to generate tailored reports.
User access
Consistent with INTERPOL General Assembly Resolution AG-2011-RES-11, iARMS is designed and recommended for use by all persons and organizations in the law enforcement community that hold responsibility for:
- receiving and recording information on lost, stolen, trafficked or smuggled firearms; and/or
- seizing or recovering illicit firearms; and/or
- seizing or recovering licit firearms that have been involved in the commission of a crime ('crime guns').
Such agencies may include, but are not limited to:
- police services;
- customs agencies;
- border protection agencies;
- regulatory authorities.
In compliance with Article 21 of the INTERPOL Rules for the Processing of Data, INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs) are required to grant formal approval of any direct access to iARMS by a non-NCB user via the signature of an iARMS User Agreement. NCBs are requested to submit a copy of signed agreements to the INTERPOL General Secretariat.
For more information or questions, please contact the INTERPOL Firearms Programme.
