See all 50 licks here
A "James Brown style" funk groove with anticipated notes and the good old 3 note chromatic walk up from the 9th up to the Major third. The bass line starts on the 8th note before the downbeat 1 Ive recorded the backing track in Garageband (Mac), playing the 2 rhythm guitar parts myself and using a premade drumloop from the program.
The bass is fairly simple notewise and technique-wise, but the challenge is locking with the groove and hitting that D right on the 8th note before 1, especially after visiting the high register.
You can of course play the D on the open string, but the sound of the D on the 5th fret of the A string is so much thicker
Im emulating a P-bass by only using the neck pickup and rolling a bit back on the tonecontrol

Hi Thomas,
I love this lick!
Got one question though concerning the first 5 notes. Why do you go index, index, middle, index, middle. And not i, i, m, m, i. Is it to get the groove better? Because i learned to use the same finger when i go down one string. Hope its not a silly
Smooth! Very Smooth head bopper!

|History and Theory of the NAIRU:
A Critical Review
|Identifying Monetary Policy: A Primer
|Marco A. Espinosa-Vega
and Steven Russell
|Tao Zha
Economic commentators regularly urge the Fed to use the level of unemployment or the rate of change in wages as leading indicators of inflation and as guides to whether they should ease or tighten monetary policy. The logic behind this approach is based on modern (post-1970) Keynesian macroeconomics and, more specifically, on the Phillips curve and the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU). This article attempts to provide some basic information about this NAIRU theory of the causes of inflation and the role of monetary policy. After describing the historical development of the NAIRU theory, the discussion raises some practical questions about the validity of the theory and its usefulness as the basis for policy advice. Perhaps the most important question involves the difficulty of distinguishing policy-induced changes in nominal wages that reflect future changes in the price level from changes in relative wages associated with real changes in the economy. The authors also describe recent developments in neoclassical theory that indicate that business cycle fluctuations in employment and output may be caused primarily by real forces—a situation that, if true, increases the danger that monetary policy based on the NAIRU may interfere with the proper functioning of the price system.
The question of the quantitative effect of monetary policy has been of considerable debate for decades. Economists' beliefs about it stem largely from theoretical models that imply the effects of changing monetary policy, and different experiments or theories lead to different conclusions. The actual economy, however, is not the result of any such controlled experiment. In the real world, inferences about the quantitative effect of monetary policy must rely on observations of actual economic activity in which many variables are changing simultaneously.
This article argues that to assess the actual effect of monetary policy requires understanding the interaction among all players in the economy—the central bank, financial market participants, producers, and consumers. The author first explains the conceptual importance of sorting out the central bank's behavior from that of the many other players. He then discusses difficulties involved in sorting out such a behavior in any given country. Finally, he illustrates this sorting-out process with a few examples in the economics literature.
|International Settlements: A New Source of Systemic Risk?
|Robert A. Eisenbeis
Recent market developments have heightened concerns about the potential for systemic risk in the payments system. At the same time that markets are becoming more integrated and global in scope, they are becoming more segmented in the sense that there is a growing separation evolving between the clearing and settlement of transactions that raises the prospect of a need to invoke the safety net and introduces a possible distortion into the international payments system. As a consequence, both public-sector and private markets have given great attention to attempting to identify and control risk exposures.
The author of this article observes that one of the more interesting developments in this evolution has been the push, for several reasons, toward real-time gross settlement systems with collateralization. Systems, instruments, and markets are evolving at a fast pace that is putting pressure on the political entities to bring their various rules and regulations into harmony, and such harmonizing requires extensive international coordination and cooperation. In addition, central banks realize that they still may be thrust into the role of the lender of last resort should the difficulties threaten to bring down settlement and clearing systems.

Watch the sunset at the Kipourion Monastery overlooking the Ionian Sea on the cliffy west coast of Cephalonia. The lone monk is always happy to show visitors around. Just remember to be slightly decent (no shorts or minis). After the majestic sunset head to "Captain Nicolas", a family run, friendly, home-cooking restaurant, where they serve the fish the father of the family has caughtt each day. It cannot get any fresher than that! This hidden gem is in the Vatsa area, near Akrotiri cape in the Lixouri penninsula.

This came out of the blue!
The nomination came from: fashion, food and flirts. And I really can't thank them enough for this. I'm absolutely thrilled with it (as well as all of the other awards proffered throughout the year). The fact that I'm accepting it might just surprise some of you. Well, to accept this I don't have to give random facts about myself (phew, I can hear some of you sighing with relief!). Besides, I really wanted to nominate others before Christmas as some of you will be travelling to stay with Family. As so many blogs kept springing to mind (to nominate) I've gone a route that I hope is fair. I've chosen the nominees below purely as their posts stimulated me into either trying a new direction, combination of flavours or ingredients and culinary techniques – all of which I would never have thought to do or to use. Thanks to all of you for those particular posts, and for your wonderful blogs!
Here are some rules that will help you understand how this award works:
1. Select the blog(s) you think deserve the 'Blog of the Year 2012' Award.
2. Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there's no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and 'present' them with their award.
3. Please include a link back to this page 'Blog of the Year 2012' Award (http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/) and include these 'rules' in your post (please don't alter the rules or the badges!).
4. Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the 'rules' with them.
5. You can now also join our Facebook group – click 'like' on this page 'Blog of the Year 2012' Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience.
6. As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
Yes – that's right – there are stars to collect!
Unlike other awards which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different!
When you begin you will receive the '1 star' award – and every time you are given the award by another blog – you can add another star!
There are a total of 6 stars to collect.
Which means that you can check out your favourite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!
'Blog of the Year 2012' Award Badges
Here are the six badges for you to collect – you can either 'swop' your badge for the next one each time you are given the award – or even proudly display all six badges if you are lucky enough to be presented with the award six times! 'Blog of the Year 2012' Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/
Here, at last, are my nominations (alphabetically):
Dinner for (n)one
Kiki sort of challenged me to developing a recipe for avocado fritters. Still haven't made them, so this award is the exception. I'm still up for the challenge which is why I'm nominating. Even though I just can't imagine what they're going to taste like! Still, sometimes being nudged (especially out of your comfort zone) can work in your f(l)avour. Roll on the New Year!
Fig & Quince
This post on Maloos Zardaloo – Charming Apricot really grabbed my attention. I would never have thought of pan-frying firm apricots. Yet, this was incredibly delicious!
For the Love of Feeding
Villy changed my direction with a recipe for Simple Lentil Soup, in that I'd never thought to cook them with tomatoes. Every time, when cooking Puy lentils, I'd always gone the – alphabetically! – British and French route of cooking them. Not any more!
Picture Real Food
As I've only recently started to stuff differing vegetables (for roasting) I was keen on using a technique that I would never have thought to use within this Bacon and Basil Stuffed Eggplant (on a Bed of Caramelized Zucchini) post. Worked really well for me first time! An eggplant, btw, is an aubergine – for anyone that's not familiar with the name.
Uni Homemaker
Anne's post Spaghetti Sauce stimulated me into developing a relatively simple recipe for tomato sauce (to use with pasta), partly as I'd hoped to use up leftover Italian spicy salami (my idea, not Anne's). The sauce was great, just not with the salami. Anyway, I've cooked it several times since and I'm thrilled that I now have a go to recipe which I can cook – on auto! Without the salami. OK, enough about the salami already!

K99 Team Loses Big – ChildSafe Wins Big at Trivia Bowl

Todd Looking For Redemption At Childsafe Trivia Bowl
Brian Gary, Dave Jensen, and I (Todd Harding) played on the K99 team in the Childsafe Trivia Bowl last year and we almost won it! But...nobody remembers who finished 2nd. It was my fault! I blew it. I was the team captain. We missed 2 questions and I was the guy who wrote down both wrong answers! I knew that CSU used to be Colorado A&M, but in crunch time I couldn't think of what the A&M stood for. I want redemption! I want to make it right! I want another chance! Well...I'm going to get that chance on Saturday!

Skyrim 'Dawnguard' tentatively set for late June
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is preparing its Dawnguard downloadable content, and it may be coming sooner than expected. On the Xbox 360, at least, the content is tentatively scheduled for late June, which means PC and PS3 players would have to wait until at least late July.
"Tentatively, it's coming on June 26," Bethesda's Todd Howard told Joystiq. He says that will rely on everything running smoothly, which the company will no doubt gauge with its recently announced beta. The Skyrim expansions have a 30-day exclusivity deal with Microsoft, so the June date only applies to that system.

What will Jason Collins' announcement do for his NBA career, if anything?
He became the first openly gay male athlete for a major American team sport with Monday's cover story in Sports Illustrated. It was typical Collins: smart, professional, even-keel, deep and showing a subtle touch of humor. Those who've known him — and I covered him when he was with the Nets — say only Collins could be so eloquent in such a situation.
NBA commissioner David Stern said: "Jason has been a widely respected teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue."
Collins' body of work over 14 years is mostly tied to being a big-bodied, dependable, lunch-pail veteran who has never been a star. He and his twin brother, Jarron, are alike in that respect. Jason has had the better career of the two, though, and always served as a defensive pest to a number of the All-Star centers, namely Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard. Collins played them smart and sacrificed his body and often frustrated them. Teams signed Collins for that very reason.
But what makes his situation interesting is his current status in the game. After starting for six seasons in New Jersey during the Jason Kidd era, Collins settled in as a backup the last six years. He's a now free agent who spent this season playing sparsely in only 38 games for the Celtics and Wizards. And he'll turn 35 next season.
Had he kept his private life to himself, he'd be a last-minute addition to any team, not a free agent in big demand this summer. But now, will his announcement affect his chances, good or bad, of seeing a 15th season?
General managers can't speak on the record about Collins, but one scout said: "It'll have no effect whatsoever. If someone needs him, someone will sign him."
It's very possible that an organization will need Collins for his ability and also want him because of his announcement. He's a solid presence in the locker room, a quiet leader with an intelligent voice and can still defend big centers. And he's not expensive. For those reasons, it would hardly be a surprise to see Collins in the NBA next season.
As for his acceptance in locker rooms, no one can say for sure, but the NBA as a league is more tolerant and progressive than most. Players tend to be themselves. Remember, this is a league that accepted Dennis Rodman for what he was. The media, based on the overwhelmingly positive reaction to his announcement, will be respectful. The fans? We'll see.
Collins' announcement would've carried greater significance if he were at the start of his career, instead of the end. Or if he were a megastar. His profile is much lower. There still hasn't been an All-World male athlete in a popular sport who made this kind of announcement. But Collins just made it easier if that player ever chooses to call a press conference.
Any team looking for a veteran backup center who brings more than just basketball ability could do a lot worse than Jason Collins. Expect to see him this fall.

CoCI accreditation for Liofol Academy training by Henkel
For the first time, Henkel can now offer laminating technician courses accredited by the Düsseldorf Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CoCI). Henkel's Liofol Academy study program offers participants theoretical and practical training, leading to the qualification of laminating technician in the field of flexible packaging.
Working hand-in-hand with Henkel, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Düsseldorf (IHK; CoCI in English) has now issued its first certificates confirming qualification in flexible packaging lamination techniques. The recipients numbered 17 from the packaging industry, all of whom had recently passed the "Lamination Technology" course offered by Henkel as part of the company's Liofol Academy curriculum. The training program is especially designed for personnel responsible for the manufacture of flexible packaging materials, providing comprehensive expertise in relation to the full range of aspects associated with the lamination process.
Until recently, there was no separate training available for the operation of laminating machines tailored to this particular type of application. Now this gap has been closed by the new qualification concept offered by Henkel's Liofol Academy. During the two-weeks of the course, experienced adhesive specialists provide the participants with a thorough theoretical and practical grounding in the principles of lamination, imparting to them a structured insight into the relevant adhesive technologies. Participants learn about different film and material types and also about test and inspection methods for assessing the laminated material, enabling them to quickly make corrections to the production process whenever this might be needed. Hands-on exercises are also included, allowing the theory learned to be put into practice under real-life conditions on Henkel's own laminating machines. Graduates of the Liofol Academy leave with detailed knowledge of everything from how to operate metering systems to how to measure coating weights.
Successful qualification as a laminating technician is subject to the candidate passing a written exam at the end of the course, and is confirmed with the CoCI certificate. "The certificate provides verification of a good level of specialist knowledge in the field of laminating technology. By participating in the courses offered by the Liofol Academy, Henkel customers are able to gain maximum benefit from our comprehensive lamination expertise," affirms Stefan Strenger, Market Segment Manager Flexible Packaging EMEA.
The Liofol course is designed to meet the needs of both entry-level employees and also experienced personnel who wish to deepen their detailed knowledge of the laminating process. However, proponents of other disciplines also have a good opportunity here to obtain useful technical expertise in a particularly compact form of instruction and delivery. The CoCI certificate course comprises two one-week modules taught at intervals of around 6-10 weeks. Henkel offers the courses in both English and German. For further information and dates, please go to www.liofolacademy.com/ihk.

COMSTOCK PARK (WKZO) -- If you rebuild it, they will come.
Those are the words of West Michigan Whitecaps managing partner and co-founder Denny Baxter after a fire sparked by a space heater destroyed the concourse and suite level on the entire first base side of Fifth Third Ballpark on Friday. The fire started again on Saturday, but was put out.
Baxter is unsure if all of the repairs will be made by Opening Day in April and expressed gratitude that all staff members were able to safely get out of the office and to a building beyond the right field wall without injury.

In an alternate universe there is a show called Adam's Apples. It's the story of a college level glee club at a performing arts college. The characters are a rag-tag group of weirdos and hipsters helmed by the charismatic out-gay lead, Adam. The fandom of this show hates one Kurt Hummel and his mysterious finance Blaine Anderson.
Seriously though, think about it for a second. If this were a show about Adam, we wouldn't need to change the plot or the scenes at all and Kurt would be the king of the douches. Adam would think they're dating. Kurt thinks they're friends with benefits. Kurt would go away for a wedding and we'd learn in the next episode that he cheated on Adam, even though Kurt didn't think they were exclusive, with some dude named Blaine. Then, Kurt would return from another trip, where Adam still thinks they're dating and Kurt is now engaged.
In this reality, people would write meta about what a horrible person Kurt is and what it says about Adam's psyche that he keeps forgiving him. Fan fiction would depict Kurt as the distant, sometimes abusive boyfriend that fandom's OTP has to overcome to end up together. The OTP would probably be another one of the Apples, just to make things fun we'll say it's the one played by Joey Richter.
Now, because the show is Glee and I have been a Kurt fan from day one and a Klainer as soon as Darren Criss sang Teenage Dream the first time, I will forgive our sweet Kurt of every infraction, including the potential crushing of Adam's heart. It's just funny to think that our sweet baby penguin turned sex god could be the villain without one word being rewritten.

Radio One is one of the best stations in the country, even aside from its historical importance in helping the amazing music that's been coming out of Dunedin for the last few decades, it supports all New Zealand artists and is particularly significant for independent acts. As a band who've never had any hopes of enjoying commercial "success" Bnet stations are the only ones who will play not just our music but music that we love, providing a sanctuary for those like us who feel isolated by the homogenized music forced down our throats by record labels and commercial FM radio, and the homogenized culture that results.
There isn't many stations that play good music, there are even less that actively encourage DJs to play music they like rather than stick to a rigid playlist. The amount of local content on most radio stations is embarrassing and the music from New Zealand that does make it past their censors is inevitably a poor copy of current overseas trends. If we let the precious few stations who help us discover new music, who treat being local as something to be proud of rather than a mark of inferiority, disappear then we are in a very perilous situation.
Radio is still a vital part of how we engage with our culture, it is still the place where most people discover new music and hear about issues that concern them, especially so for students. Please take the time to sign the online petition and submit any ideas you have to help save this institution.

An education advocacy group is poised to make the largest outside expenditure yet in the Boston mayor's race, throwing upward of $500,000 behind City Councilor John R. Connolly's campaign, potentially elevating Connolly's profile by accentuating his stance on a calling-card policy issue.
Stand for Children, a national nonprofit, said it decided in early August to back Connolly. The group is planning what one adviser called "a full-frontal assault" on his behalf, replete with advertising on broadcast and cable TV, direct mail, a phone campaign, and door-knocking by more than 1,000 of the group's supporters.

In one way, this is 8 kinds of awesome. Brandon Davidson, 2010 depth pick (162nd overall) is the first recall from the 2010 draft (Taylor Hall went right to the majors), passing 6 guys who were drafted before him. On the other hand, it's bad because someone might be hurt. The two Schultz's plus Petry and Belov were at practice this morning, meaning that Ladislav Smid, Andrew Ference and Denis Grebeshkov didn't hit the ice. Dallas Eakins said it was a maintenance day for Smid and Ference, so we may not see any lineup changes but something happened to require the Davidson recall.
So far this season, Davidson is 2, 0-0-0 -2 in OKC.

Far Cry 3 preview
This preview originally appeared in issue 242 of PC Gamer UK.
Sitting in a room and watching Michael Mando scream and laugh at a woman in a chair is a great way to pass half an hour. He looks a lot like his character, Vaas, the compelling psychopath who's become the face of Far Cry 3. That's mostly down to the full performance-capture technology – a full suit loaded with reflective strips, and a helmet with a camera strapped to it that captures every movement of his face. It's also because he has the same mohawk hairstyle. As affable and likeable as Mando is, he's not taking the role of Vaas lightly.
Producer Dan Hay suggests that there have been some method acting moments in the development, and writer Jeffrey Yohalem (Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood) has worked with the actors and directors to rewrite the script to suit their styles. Hay tells an anecdote of how they got the glint of madness that made that original trailer so compelling. Turns out that it was a simple trick making everyone repeat the same scene over and over again until they were tired and hungry, and then lying about turning the cameras off. It's the kind of anecdote you expect from a movie set.
As much as that's true, Jeffrey Yohalem dismisses the idea of Far Cry 3 making a good movie. "The story depends on the interactivity. There are strands of plot that involve the interaction between the player and the hero. It wouldn't make sense as a movie." This hints at the higher levels of narrative ambition going into Far Cry 3. While FC2 had a decent story, the new sequel doesn't just acknowledge video game and Hollywood conventions, it uses them as tools to mislead the hapless player.
The playable demo at E3 gives a great taste of the varied aspects of Far Cry 3. It begins during a scene with Vaas's sister, and seems to depict part of an initiation ceremony inducting main character Jason Brody as a warrior. This is tied to the tattoos on his arms, which represent the player's journey through the story. Sidemissions, hunting and quests will earn you new tattoos – a sleeve woven in the order in which you do things. There's a good chance your tattoo will be unique, as well as the introduction to many "let me tell you about my gap year" conversations should Brody survive.
In this scene, Brody's tattoo is smoking and warping, which plugs into the game's other themes – reality, hallucinations, and madness. The island is laden with mushrooms, which the dangerously meek Dr Earnhardt seems determined to distil into something purer. In the demo, I guide Brody towards Vaas's island by diving off a cliff and into the sea. Pausing to admire a manta ray on the short swim, Brody takes out a sentry patrolling the pier with a stealthy lunge from the water. Maintaining the quiet approach, I find two more guards, giving me a chance to try out the melee takedown combo. It's an unlockable skill, which lets you pinball from one lethal animation to the next with just the tap of a button.
The shape of the map intuitively guides you to the left, where a stack of boxes compromises the perimeter wall. I'm told there are two other ways in, but however you manage it, there's a small playground of death inside – a network of roofs to stealth your way across, a machinegun encampment, a large fuel tank that takes some punishing but explodes eventually.
There are also buildings that reflect Vaas's unlikely preoccupation with TV, art and showmanship, plus a live tiger in a cage. You can blast open the cage if you want, and the tiger's antics will add a dash of chaos to the map until he inevitably gets shot or burned to death.
Clearing the map leads me into a room, where Vaas appears from nowhere and plants a knife in Brody's shoulder. Whether through drugs or unconscious dreaming I find myself in a 'corridor of Vaas'. The path is made out of televisions. Vaas is pole-dancing on the right, and taking your place in the sex scene with his sister on the left. And at the end is Vaas himself – proving you're a 'pussy' by putting your gun to his head and telling you to pull the trigger. "I am you! You are me!" he screams. It's just too much of a gift, even in a hallucination. You have to pull the trigger. But Vaas disappears, replaced by the friend you've already watched die once.
It's a great slab of action and story, reassuring me about the open arena of Far Cry's gunplay and raising juicy questions about what's actually going on. Jason and Vaas, the same person? How much of any of this is real? And how tacky is that whole 'white man leads an otherwise doomed tribe to victory' thing?
Yohalem's way ahead of us all. "The greatest pleasure about telling a story," he says, "is to lead the player into certain expectations, and pull the rug satisfyingly from under your feet." He's not surprised by me mentioning Lost, Fight Club, and Avatar, because he put those seeds there on purpose. "There are going to be some pretty big rugs," says Yohalem.

Recently we came across a US Government Accountability Office report that looks at eight recent consolidation efforts undertaken by federal agencies and identifies five sets of questions that managers should be able to answer if they find themselves in charge of an initiative to consolidate infrastructure or management functions.
Below, we've summarised the question set headings and questions that relate to communication and change, in particular those where a more narrative approach across the change piece will make a great deal of difference to nurturing an environment in which the Lewin model of Unfreeze - Change - Refreeze is possible, maybe coupled with William Bridges' sound advice on making powerful endings, strong beginnings and the most of what he calls 'the neutral zone' (Lewin's change phase). It's a great checklist for any organization.
photo | koalazymonkey
What are the goals of the consolidation? What opportunities will be addressed through the consolidation and what problems will be solved? What problems, if any, will be created?
- Have leaders identified specific goals to be achieved?
- Have leaders assessed how consolidation can help an incorporate changes in technology, business processes, or the needs of customers or clients?
- How have leaders weighed the importance of achieving the
goals against a realistic assessment of the effort needed to achieve them?
- How have leaders considered the risks?
- Are agency leaders defining the benefits and describing how the future will be both different from and better than the past?
- Are agency leaders providing a clear and compelling picture of what will constitute success?
Who are the consolidation stakeholders, and how will they be affected? How have the stakeholders been involved in the decision, and how have their views been considered? On balance, do stakeholders understand the rationale for consolidation?
- Have leaders identified affected stakeholders?
- Have agency leaders determined the necessary frequency and timing of communication about the consolidation to internal and external stakeholders?
- Does the communication strategy allow for a two-way exchange of information between management and stakeholders?
- How is the agency planning to involve employees to obtain their ideas and get their support? Have union representatives been consulted? Are there employee task teams responsible for developing and proposing common solutions to particular issues related to the consolidation?
- How does the agency plan to provide information to employees about how their jobs might be affected, what their rights and protections might be, or how their responsibilities might change with the new organization?
- Is the agency planning to communicate information through different channels such as e-mail, face-to-face meetings, large and small group meetings, intranet websites, and town hall meetings?
To what extent do plans show that change management practices will be used to implement the consolidation? Will top leadership be engaged in driving the consolidation plan?
- Do leaders have plans to move deliberately to demonstrate their conviction and commitment to making the needed changes?
- Do leaders have plans to provide clear guidance to employees about how to conduct business during a potentially turbulent period?
- Will a Dedicated Implementation Team Lead the Consolidation?
- Will the implementation team have strong program management skills and a proven record of successfully working through or overseeing major transformations?
- Are there networks such as senior executive councils, functional teams, or cross-cutting teams that can ensure that changes are thoroughly implemented and sustained over time?
Will the Implementation plan include metrics to measure progress toward the consolidation's goals?
- Will there be an action plan with goals and milestones to track progress and identify any needed mid-course adjustments?
- Will an action plan identify critical phases and the essential activities that need to be completed by and on any given date? Are there plans to publicize and report progress on specific goals for each phase of the initiative?
- Is there a strategy for tracking employee attitudes toward the consolidation and identifying any morale or productivity issues?
Will the implementation plan include a strategy for attracting and retaining key talent?
Is there a strategy for using the consolidation experiences of other
organizations and lessons learned?
- Have agency officials involved with the consolidation initiative identified and consulted with other agencies or organizations that planned for or implemented a similar consolidation effort?
- Is there a process for capturing lessons learned after each phase of the consolidation and using the information to improve the management of subsequent phases?

Yasutake Enomoto, sent me a twitter shot of himself with one of his Strawberry kits on standing with Austin Horse at a CX race in Japan, asking me my thoughts on it. I told him "It was amazing" I also asked him what other designs he had done, if any were available for sale and how could I get one over here in the States.

Just what we needed
This grate made such a difference to our fires - they burn better, last longer and give off much more heat! This great is fantastic -allows the air to flow. I would definitely recommend this grate.
Posted: 2/16/2013
Reviewer: Sue
Love it love it L O V E it! My previous grate was much smaller and did not hold the quantity or length of wood as this one. Fire burns nice on open grates and seems to hold embers just fine. Came promptly and was everthing you said it would be.

Reviewer: Ed
Cannot comment on the grate's durability as we have used it for only a couple of months. But its strength and functionality are just what the doctor ordered.
Posted: 1/7/2011
Reviewer: Jim
I was searching for a heavy grate that was going to last, but not pay a fortune for. I tried Lowes and Home Depot, but those grates were not impressive, made with minimal metal and more so used for the smaller size fireplaces in newer houses. I found this grate on several websites and from reading other reviews felt this is what I was looking for. I've only had for about a dozen or so fires, but can tell this will last a long time. I chose Northline Express to purchase because they had the lowest price.

What's a recent protest that has mostly gone unnoticed by the world?
When people protest they usually have very good reasons for doing so.
So let's highlight some recent protests that the world media has forgot to mention.
List of ongoing protests http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_protests
Dec 18 2013: I had never heard of it and never thought of it before. It makes sense though, here's a link to a document I found on The 1897 Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/hawaii-petition/
And I just learned of the Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Kingdom_of_Hawaii
Thanks for sharing!
Dec 18 2013: Is that the protest on abortion or regarding the US because I can't find stuff on the US...
Here's what I managed to find regarding abortions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/06/hawaii-sb1-protests_n_4229261.html
Could you possibly share a link to a source to the protests you speak of?
Dec 18 2013: Yes, got it!
And also http://www.hawaii-nation.org/
Jimmy Strobl 50+
Dec 16 2013: How can I know what I'm going to do with knowledge that I don't yet have... What do you do with your knowledge Greg, why do you need it? What did you do with the knowledge about why Asians don't drink milk (which I answered for you if you didn't notice)?
Did you bother to check the Wikipedia article in the explanation? And I think that your assumptions are wrong.
Dec 16 2013: okay, Jimmy, but I thought you might have a purpose in mind. It's cool to just ask a question cause you have a gut feeling it might be useful without knowing the exact use. It's better if you can articulate the purpose.
I do all kinds of different things with all kinds of knowledge. Yes, I did notice the article you provided, I think I gave you a thumb's up but when you placed it you were at the third level of response so I couldn't reply. I started to read the article and I was finding it quite dense, so I am saving it in my inbox. A question that occurs is the chicken/egg question, you know, which came first, the chicken or the egg? So if we see that Asian people don't digest milk well when other people do, we ask well, did they reject dairy culturally because they couldn't digest it, or did their bodies evolve where they couldn't digest it because they rejected it culturally?
I would like to understand why Asians don't drink milk because I really believe in milk and would like to promote it among others to Asians.
I'm sorry, I didn't see the article link. I just skimmed it now, but why are you calling it to my attention now? You're trying to say that there are a lot of protests? Well, if you think about how big the planet is, I maintain that they are pretty spread out, but then, I try to walk everywhere, if a protest is 20 miles away, I almost certainly would not go. Do you attend protests? Which ones?
Dec 17 2013: The purpose is to get informed and inform each other. But I understand better what you were saying now. It is not for any kind of project or such.
I don't get notifications from TED concerning conversations anymore since it clogs my inbox so I wasn't aware of the thumbs up, thanks! :)
The reason that I share outside links is because 2000 charterers isn't good enough to explain basically anything. Not reliably anyway.
But I'll keep in mind that you'd rather read here in the future so I'll try to asses it as good as possible for you when I can.
But that is a huge question, with complex answers... And I really don't want to get that off-topic in this conversation if that's okay. Since I feel that we'll have an ongoing debate filled with questions about this for quite some time...
Basically it comes down to this: They can't because of genetics, 97-99% of Asian people have whats commonly known as lactose intolerance (the inability to digest dairy products). That has numerous reasons, which I'm willing to debate in a more suited conversation if you could point to one or create one about this topic that would be great.
Starting to keep it short, running out of characters...
Calling it to attention since it's important for this conversations topic to understand that you might have missed some. Spread out - yes, many - I think so.
I've attended some of protests in my life and organized (a part of) some too.
Some local student protests, the war on Iraq, "Shell Hell" (which I organised in my town) and some other stuff that were local...
Dec 17 2013: well, I can only think of two protests I have attended. In one I agreed with the cause, in one I did not. The first was when I was a student at Stanford, and there was lots of protest about the university's investment in South Africa, in the days of apartheid. I can't remember it very well, Jimmy, it would have been 30 years ago. But I seem to remember a lot of students gathered in a courtyard of an academic building, and some talking on microphone about why investment in S.A. was wrong. I suppose it was a "teach-in," but related to protest. I simply came upon it while walking to my residence, so I stayed. That cause I agreed with.
The other was when I lived in the Westlake area of Los Angeles. Westlake is an area about a mile west of downtown Los Angeles. It is about 95% Hispanic people. And many of them are in the United States illegally, without documentation. There is some feeling in the U.S. that illegals sap some of the country's strength, they take services but don't pay taxes. The illegals demonstrated by all not going to work on an agreed-upon Monday, to show that they are valuable workers and would be missed. And they massed in a street called Alvarado, some drove up and down it in cars with bullhorns chanting slogans and the people standing on the sides of the street chanted with them. After a while they stopped, everybody went home, and the next day life went back to how it usually is. This protest I did not agree with, as I disapprove of people being in a country illegally. But I went to see what is was like and because it was local, I only had to walk a city block or two to get to it.
In both these cases I went because they were very close to me physically. I presume they were covered in the world media?
The things I protest, Jimmy, are usually things that impinge on me directly and interfere with my sensual enjoyment of life. For example, I have spent a great deal of time talking to the supermarket across the street............
Dec 17 2013: .........from me about noise from their loading dock at 5AM that bothered me. But I find that so far I have always been able to solve a problem just by talking to people myself, for example, the loading dock noise has gotten much better just by me talking to the supermarket and trucking company leaders. I have never had to initiate a protest with other people.
Jimmy Strobl 50+Dec 17 2013: Well, almost all protests are because that diplomacy and dialog did not work, those are the only ones that I feel comfortable with. I agree that you should always talk first, if that doesn't work you get more people to try to talk about it and if they still don't listen to reason it's time for (peaceful) protests.

Starbucks chills out with summer menu
The coffee giant is looking to keep sales momentum going with a focus on Frappuccinos and even new ice cream flavors.
Seattle coffee icon Starbucks (SBUX) has made a comeback in 2010 after consumers fled during the Great Recession. In order to keep the profits percolating, SBUX is looking to roll out a fresh new menu of Frappuccinos and iced coffee for the hot summer months.
Among the new options are nonfat milk and sugar-free toppings that will keep the calorie count down. Currently a grande Caramel Frappuccino (the flavor that made the cool drink such a success) has 380 calories. The light version will have 160.
But perhaps most interesting of all is Starbucks' push to offer exotic new flavors, bottled drinks to go and even ice cream as a way to up-size its sales this summer.
Growth is crucial for SBUX stock now after it has weathered the worst of the economic downturn. Notable achievements over the past few months include:
- The announcement of the first-ever cash dividend to SBUX stock owners.
- Gains of about 220% in Starbucks shares since the 2009 lows, from $8.24 on March 9, 2009, to the mid-$26 range today.
- Four straight earnings reports topping Wall Street forecasts, with an average earnings surprise of almost 20%.
But despite these strides, SBUX stock is still down about 33% from its 2006 peak at about $40 a share. And the coffee marketplace has become increasingly crowded in the intervening years, so returning to its lofty perch is no easy task. Post continues after video:
In a few months, Burger King will begin partnering with Starbucks on a coffee line. That's to say nothing of privately held Dunkin' Donuts and its Coolata iced coffees and a host of others.
But the Frappuccino -- a drink created by Starbucks 15 years ago by mixing a frappe and a cappuccino -- is still a mainstay that has consistently delivered for Starbucks. Experts estimate the drinks make up 20% of sales at Starbucks locations.Starbucks thinks it can increase that share even more by offering customization of Frappucinos for customers, including substituting soy milk or adding an extra shot of espresso. There are also interesting new flavor combinations including the weird and exotic. Though it sounds a bit odd, many Asia markets now sell a Red Bean Frappuccino and Black Sesame Frappuccinos are being introduced in China this summer.
Then there's the out-of-store changes for the summer. These offerings include bottled Vanilla Frappuccino Light, a drink you can buy in your local convenience store instead of making a trip to your local Starbucks. Or two Frappuccino-flavored ice creams: Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and Starbucks Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino, both of which will be available in national grocery chains this summer.
This is an ambitious seasonal focus for Starbucks, but the real question for investors is whether this summer menu will work. Starbucks just released higher-than-expected earnings last week and is clearly hoping to keep things up with summer drink sales. Its $217.3 million in profits, or earnings of 28 cents per share on revenue of $2.13 billion for its fiscal second quarter, could just be the starting point of another big run for shares if the summer goes well.
But if its Frappuccinos fall flat, SBUX could find investor confidence melting like a scoop of coffee-flavored ice cream left out in the hot summer sun.

Does more need to be done to combat corruption in Jordan?
Measures to protect public funds and assets from misuse in Jordan are still not as effective as they should be, according to the Kingdom's chief auditor, who called for granting the Audit Bureau wider authorities to combat corruption in government agencies with efficiency.
Audit Bureau President Mustafa Barari called for amending the law governing his entity's jurisdiction to grant the bureau the status of a law enforcement agency with the power to refer suspected fraud and corruption cases directly to the judiciary.
"By giving the bureau the authority to refer violations to courts directly, corruption could be reduced to much lower levels," he added, saying the bureau also issues early warnings to decision makers on issues like public debt, budget deficit and tax reform.
Unfortunately, Barari said, such recommendations are not usually taken into account.
He made the remarks at a lecture hosted by Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organisation late last week on the role of the Audit Bureau in fighting corruption.
He noted failure to observe laws and regulations at public sector agencies have become the rule rather than the exception.
He indicated that his agency restored around JD351 million from cases of abuse of public funds during 2011 and the first nine months of this year, pointing out that the bureau is also seeking to monitor the administrative and financial performance of companies where the government owns at least 25 per cent of their stakes, a percentage that stands now at 50 per cent.
Barari noted that the bureau alone cannot fight corruption in the public sector, saying administrative corruption and abuse of public office is more serious and damaging than financial corruption.
Corruption hurts the country's investment climate as well as the political system, he emphasised, pointing out that slogans of the majority of protests in the Kingdom are about corruption.
As examples of administrative corruption, he cited what he called a "prestigious" independent institution in charge of economic development he had visited more than a year ago where the education qualifications for the majority of the staff who receive relatively high salaries were irrelevant to the field of the agency's business.
"I was shocked when the employees told me about their education degrees," Barari told an audience of around 100 people.
He attributed the decline in government agencies' performance to bureaucracy and that employees do not comply with the code of ethics of their jobs.
Recruitments of inefficient and unqualified people at government agencies is another form of corruption, according to Barari, who explained that it has become almost a norm in Jordan that when officials assume government posts they should hire their relatives in public institutions.
In a bid to enhance productivity at public organisations, Barari said there is a need to boost good governance, accountability and transparency and improve cooperation between agencies in charge of monitoring government departments.
On financial violations, he pointed out that the Audit Bureau staff have registered 4,875 violations related to the use of government vehicles since the beginning of the year.
Noting that the fleet of government vehicles includes around 20,000 cars, the auditor cited examples of using these vehicles against regulations such as using them to take the families of officials to luxurious trips and weddings.
He claimed that a government-owned car was once used to drive the family dog around Amman to have fresh air.
"Abuse of public funds has reached critical levels that should be addressed," Barari warned.

On Staying True to BRANDyou
My last minute decision to duck into Nordstrom Rack for a little retail therapy landed me a few valuable nuggets of wisdom. After picking through the racks on my first go around the store I entered the dressing room with over 15 items. Try as I might, I just couldn't see myself wearing any of the styles I have picked out. The bright colors and patterns which are so popular this season were aplenty at Nordstrom Rack. However, the corals washed me out. The baby blues gave me the blues. And an adorable (on the hanger) white peplum top made me feel frumpy.
I left the fitting room feeling down about myself and my choices. I am famously so good at knowing what will look good on me! I can usually blindly choose outfits from my walk-in closet and make a cohesive outfit. What was wrong with me? This is when the light bulb went off in my mind and I knew what today's post would read. The reason for my failure was because I was not taking my own advice!
I love silk jersey fabric, I love sleeves, I love black, I love bright color in moderation. Why, then, would I load my arms with satin, one shoulder tops, white cashmere, and multi-color Ikat print??
BRANDyou is all about getting to know your own personal brand, and about outwardly expressing what you inwardly feel to be your true identity. In order to ensure a perfectly built wardrobe, you have to depend on the styles you know and love, and not follow the trends of the season. Make the trends your own by adding touches of "in" color here and there, or by building a few outfits off of one trendy piece, rather than inundate yourself with trends.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Police say a man who alleges he was shot by former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been shot again in Connecticut.
Hartford police Lt. Brian Foley says Alexander Bradley was shot several times in the leg Sunday night at the Vevo Lounge Bar & Grill and was taken to a hospital. His condition hasn't been released.
Police haven't announced any arrests or a motive.
Bradley alleges in a Florida lawsuit that he lost an eye when Hernandez shot him outside a Miami club last year.
Boston police say Bradley was with Hernandez in an SUV when someone inside fatally shot two people in 2012. No charges have been filed.
Hernandez is detained on a murder charge in a killing last June near his North Attleborough, Mass., home.

Tombstone Tuesday
I don't know who this is, but I just thought that this tombstone was interesting. I don't see many like these in my travels. It reminds me of the tombstones in Salem Massachusetts that I've seen online. I just thought it was worth sharing.

Secrets of the Dead
Mumbai MassacreSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
Mumbai, November 26, 2008. What began as a typical day in a buzzing cosmopolitan city devolved into a nightmare of explosions, gunfire and death when terrorists attacked. The world watched in horror as the escalating violence was broadcast live across the globe. But within the walls of the besieged hotels, a social networking revolution was taking place. Even as the terrorists watched CNN to find out where their victims were hiding, the prisoners were texting with terrorism experts, passing information to specially set up user groups, and even searching the web for plans of the buildings to coordinate their escapes. Told completely from the victims' perspective using their own words, voicemails, texts, and user-group postings, this program places viewers inside the deadly cat and mouse game as it played out. It captures the desperation and courage of ordinary people in the face of extraordinary events, and explores how social media became a survival tool and a witness to the violence and horror.
