K.I.M. Books is a great, non-profit, online bookseller. Definitely worth checking out!
1. The Curious Misadventures of Feltus Ovalton is said to be a cross between Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket. How do you respond?
Hmmm. Well I'm not going to say that I'm unhappy about the Harry Potter comparisons but actually I don't think Feltus has much in common with those books besides mine being about a boy and incorporating magic. Feltus is nowhere near as noble and heroic as Harry Potter. In fact, he is a reluctant hero, an anti-hero of sorts. He does not always do the right thing. He can be bad-tempered and selfish, but despite his character flaws he is at heart, sensitive. He just hides his insecurities behind a grouchy exterior, and by the end of the book he has opened up a lot. There is a lot of dark humor in the book which is what I think led to some people pointing out similarities between my book and Lemony Snicket. A kind of macabre edge. Actually my book has most often been compared to Roald Dahl's work, and I think that can be said for Harry Potter and for Lemony Snicket and for lots of children's books out there. Dahl definitely set the bar, and he set it high. He's one of my favorite authors so of course I was thrilled when reviewers pointed it out.
2. Do you and Feltus share any characteristics?
I think most authors invest a lot of themselves in their characters and I am certainly no different. Many of Feltus's worst personality traits are shared by me but I am older than he is and my mother taught me manners. So even if I am thinking something quite selfish or mean, I don't act on it. Kids don't have those kind of socially-imposed stop signs until later. I mean doesn't everyone really want to take the biggest slice of chocolate cake? Feltus, deep down, is nervous and shy and a bit insecure, just like I was, and he acts the way he does to protect himself. And like him, I experienced bullying and the difficulty of being a new kid at school, and just that awful feeling of being uncomfortable in my own skin. Fortunately I have a sister so I never felt as lonely as Feltus does. And making friends with people goes a long way to help with that, so I made sure to give Feltus two good friends by the end of the book. Oh, and we both have brown eyes and brown hair and big feet.
3. What is your favorite/ most memorable scene in The Curious Misadventures of Feltus Ovalton?
My favorite scene in the book is when Feltus accompanies his strange Great-Aunt Eunida to the Magical Ewe cafe- which is a magical way station (like a train station waiting room) between the human world and the mystical realms. He meets some interesting creatures (like Bobbie and Sue, the conjoined twin proprietors and Doctor Shafer who is a giant beetle) and is exposed to some horrible foods (like pressed duck liver and stewed chitterlings and sardine root beer floats), but it's also the first time he really gets to speak with his great aunt and find out what's been going on since he recited a magic spell out of an old book.
I really like the scene under the dining room table when he meets the PoodleRats for the first time too.
Oh, and the spell-casting in the bathroom with Eunida, his PoodleRat friend RinMal and Winston, the giant toad.
4. Did anyone in your family inspire Great-Aunt Eunida? How so?
You know, it's a funny thing with writers. I mean I wanted to be a writer from a young age but I didn't walk around writing things down in a little notebook or thinking of stories constantly but I did notice things and years later they popped out of my brain and I used them in whatever it was I was working on at the time. When I was very young, probably six or seven, I had high tea with my Welsh great grandmother Jane. She was a tiny, shriveled old woman who lived until she was almost 100, and I was little and neither of us could really see over the table top. I was seated directly across from her. She was probably very nice but she had crazy black hair that stuck out all over, and beady black eyes and she dressed in black and she looked exactly like a witch in a storybook. When I came up with the Eunida's character I wanted her to look scary but in fact be a very kind person, so I used my memory of Granny Jane.
5. You began adapting fairy tales when you were eight. Do you plan to write a new children's novel with fairy tale inspirations?
I re-wrote fairy tales for my younger sister, making the heroines more feisty, and sometimes identifying more with the monster than the hero. It was a big production. I'd write them or later on type them painstakingly on my mother'clunky electric typewriter onto big scrolls of thick paper which I then tied with red ribbon. I read a lot of fairy tales- Grimm's and Hans Christian Andersen, all the classics including those volumes that came in different colors- the pink fairy book, the blue, the purple, and they always gave me an unsettled feeling afterwards like I had eaten something delicious that didn't sit well with my stomach. There's often an underlying current of menace in fairy tales, and very bad things happen to children. If I ever wrote about Faerie it would probably be a YA (Young Adult) book rather than something for young kids. The Veil in my book- the invisible wall between the worlds- is directly taken from old Celtic legends about the Folk and the lands of Faerie.
6. As a child, or young adult, what was your favorite book?
That's very hard to answer. I had so many. Definitely Narnia especially A Horse and his Boy, The Hobbit, E. Nesbit's 5 Children and It and The Phoenix and the Carpet, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jennifer Roberson's Cheysuli Chronicles, and more recently of course Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. And I absolutely adore Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness which I recommend to all Harry Potter fans. Oh, and Nancy Farmer's Sea of Trolls and I like Scott Westerfeld's books. Sorry, I can't just pick one!
7. Anything else. . . ?
I'd just like to encourage everyone to read as much as they can. Books entertain and inspire and inform and educate. There's nothing else like them. They're truly magical. So fill your mind.
And also thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about what I love.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I have been using the 7.3 web service for sometime now and I love it!! More specific I use the MoveComputertoOU function during my deployments. It works awesome.
My question is: How can I handle "In MDT" a brand new/ out of the box computer and join it to a StagingOU and then move it to an OU that I specify and the end of deployment? I could have the techs put the computer in AD before
deployment but they do not have rights so I am looking for an automated way to do it.
Example: PC joins StagingOU OU=MDTStage, DC, DC. Run the swap value script to change to the FinalOU, and run the MoveComputertoOU as one of the final steps in my TS.
I have created a setting in my MDT database called FinalOU. I was hoping I could call on that value in some way. Maybe I am just making this difficult. :(
This all works like a peach when the computer is in AD already but I can't figure out a solid solution if it is a brand new computer. Any help or direction that could be given would be outstanding as I have been banging my head on this for a couple
Thank you in advance.
thanks for using the web service.
One way of solving this is to create the process in a way, that it handles new machines and re-images the same way. I outlined a possible solution here:
The basic idea here is to define the final OU in "MachineObjectOU" as that's the property which should be used in default. Then in cs.ini, you define a "StagingOU" and give it a value. Now at the beginning of the Task Sequence, you simply
swap the values of StagingOU and MachineObjectOU and have it move any existing computer account to the "MachineObjectOU" (which now contains the StagingOU as value).
If the computer joins, it will always be in the StagingOU, either as it's already being moved to it, or as it directly joins into this OU, as this is based on MachineObjectOU (which still contains the StagingOU value). Now the TaskSequence keeps going and
at the very end, you just swap the values back and move it to the MachineObjectOU. It's the same web service call, but now MachineObjectOU no longer contains the value of the StagingOU it rather contains the value of whatever you configured before for MachineObjectOU.
You know sometimes it is the smallest things. I have read that post you listed above a thousand times and was trying to figure something out. It turns out it was right in front of me the entire time. :) I just needed to add the swap
values at the beginning of the TS as well as the end. Everything else was in place. Oh well it was a good learning experience.
I really appreciate the help!!!

Garda 'Big Brother' cameras to identify and track criminals
Computers in patrol cars, CCTV part of €200m tech upgrade
CCTV cameras with facial recognition capabilities are to be rolled out across the country as part of a major overhaul of the way gardaí tackle crime.
Garda stations will also be equipped with a system which will allow the CCTV alerts to be shared with officers around the country, under a modernisation of the force's technology.
A €200m revamp of the force's out-of-date technology will equip Garda patrol cars with new onboard computers to allow better surveillance and instant identification of suspects.
The new technology will allow for 999 calls and public calls to stations to be co-ordinated, in what will eventually be one integrated system.
The Garda Pulse system will also undergo a major upgrade, with some aspects of it currently described as "prehistoric".
A new command and control centre will be based in the Dublin Metropolitan headquarters at Harcourt Square.
The modernisation plans to be announced today will adopt a 'cradle to the grave' approach to data on criminal activity, so that officers can have a single view of every piece of intelligence relating to a case.

Yes, you need all these things that have mentioned by rachhasarrived. Babies need extraordinary care and I think shuttle bus and car with baby care sheets are best to travel from airport to hotel. You would reach in time.

We just travelled with 7 month old DD in Washington DC and NYC. She is around size 00, 8 kg and easily fit into the flat bassinet. We had a huge 1.5 yr old next to us who also fit into the bassinet so it is worth trying to use them as it makes your journey so much easier. We were flying from Europe, 10 hr flight, and I used 8 nappies easily ok the day flight there but the night flight home was just 2. Day vs night flying is a big consideration, day flight I had toys and a blanket to place on the floor so she had some lying play time. Night flight home she slept the whole way. We found in those US destinations taxis didn't have car seats, but the shuttle from the airport didn't care about us not having her just on our laps. The Safeway etc supermarkets have an amazing array of baby food in pouches, so made traveling and feeding solids easy. I second the carrier, especially for the last few hours of a day flight when bubs might get restless. Dd screamed the entire 20-30 minutes of takeoff, it is awkward but not the end of the world. We took her sleeping bag and comforter onto the flight, and just dressed in a long onsie.
17-08-2014 01:57 #13
Hi all thanks for the replies I just seen there was a new reply and thought I would give an update as we have already been and gone and it's all over.
We ended up having to change our flight from October to April because I had to have an operation. The kids then were older. 2 and needed his own seat but that was ok coz we had got one for him anyway for the extra space and the twins were then 15 months.
We decided the bassinets were not for us. And the kids were to big anyway. We asked for the last 2 rows of the plane so they could walk around and not disturb to many people. Best choice we made, we were able to let them have a good stretch of their legs and it was louder there too so their crying didn't really bother anyone and the noise I think kept them a bit calmer.
We took a few baby food in squeeze tubes. Great coz I just threw that out when they were done, lighten the load hahaha we took plenty of snacks and made them a necklace each of fruit loops and Cheerios which they loved. We took a lot of cereal to snack on like milo and nutrigrain and Museli bars some m&ms, tiny teddies and sultanas. We also took some bread because they all love just a plain piece of bread. We got a plane meal for the boldest and they all shared that and ours anyway (well more so mine because I can't stomach the plane food (from air sickness). They were off formula by the time we left and we took milk, next time I would have just got it from the plane. But the milk situation was a nightmare. It was ok until we got to LA we took the milk in a cooler bag with ice packs and that was fine. Then we had to have American milk and I don't know what went wrong but the boys couldn't handle it and threw up everywhere after every bottle (thankfully they only had 2 bottles by then) but we had to put them bank on formula while we were there) on the way back was even worse. We stupidly made some formula ready to go and between it was so hot everywhere we went and the rooms aircon was broken and it had no fridge (who doesn't have a fridge in a room these days) and it went off so we had to go back to full milk. We got some on the plane and they only had the one bottle until we got home.
We were lucky enough to get an extra seat on all flights, my mum and aunty came with us so we had the middle block of 3 seats. We took 3 umbrella strollers which made things super easy getting to the gate and we had it all down to a science when we went through the check points. Until someone pointed my mum and aunty to a different lane then we were all over the place and it was hectic.
We took colouring books, small pack of duplo, a write and wipe thing (forget what they are called right now) a couple of puzzles like rubics cube. They can't do them obviously but they could move them around and they enjoyed that. We also took the iPad/iphone loaded with their favourite shows and movies. The TV in the head of the seat in front didn't really do much for them and they wouldn't keep the headphones in their ears because they were those little ones so we didn't worry about that.
Otherwise they slept a lot of the flight. They were so much better than I thought they were going to be.
If we go again I will just make then each a little back pack of things they like playing with and take a bag I can carry them all in if we need to. Like a green Krispy Kreme bag they are really big and fit a lot of stuff in them.
I took 10 nappies per child and we used most of them so I wouldn't change that. We purposefully avoided potty training the oldest because we thought it would be easier for the airport and plane. And less stressful if he needed to go when he couldn't.
I did take a blanket each but that was a waist on the plane because we used theirs but while in America it was great because they were used to them.
I took 2 changes of clothes for each child. And I used 1 for each + plus an extra for one because he leaked (he is a leaker though and in the biggest nappy he can fill a nappy in seconds and I mean FULL from front to back, it's crazy how much he wees)
As for flights we left in the middle of the day which was perfect because they got a bit of a play on the plane then they slept for a good chunk of it. We had a stop over in LA and we spent the day there, went to Santa Monica pier and caught a bus, that alone was an experience, then stayed over night in a hotel. Then another short flight to the next stop which was with family. Perfect.
Coming home we also left in the afternoon but the stop in LA was 11 hours. Worst thing we did. The flight left LA at midnight. For the kids that was horrible. They had a nap before hand but we tried to keep them awake until we got in the flight. They were so grumpy by the time we got them on the plane. They were over tired and over traveling then. We should have stayed in LA over night again.
Plus we had to catch a bus from the airport to the plane, and we had to take all the bags and strollers (we had 3 umbrella strollers) to the plane. It was difficult and stressful and hot.
Next time I would limit myself to 3 small bags for the kids (1 each for toys and snacks and clothes) that fit into one large bag (the Krispy Kreme bag) and one extra for our stuff.
The iPad was a life saver for the oldest, the plane mostly kept the twins amused.
As for snacks next time I would just chuck the cereals all in one large zip lock bag and take a couple of little Tupperware snack cups and put them in that for them to munch on and then I could get rid of the bag once it's done.
They did use the colouring books for a second so next time I would just take a small pack of crayons each and one colouring book and rip out the pages if they wanted to colour. Unless they were really into colouring then I'd probably still take them a book each.
They love duplo so I would still take a small bag of them.
The transport from airports to hotels didn't care if we held the boys on our laps. And we didn't catch a taxi at all we caught a bus and also a limo haha for all of us it was cheaper than getting a tour bus around LA. That was fun but I think the tour buses you can see better.
As for sleeping there. I thought we had organised port-a-cots with the mother in law and I am sure she said she had them but when we got there she said she just had a double blow up mattress on the floor next to the bed. That was fun! The mattress squeaked every time anyone on it moved. And my husband had to sleep on the between the twins because they would roll into each other and wake up and I slept on the bed with the eldest because the bed was to high for the twins and at least the blow up mattress was mostly boxed in. Was the worst 2 weeks of sleep.
Also we have very inquisitive kids and they HAVE to touch EVERYTHING. In our house it's fine, because everything in baby proofed and safe. But at her house it was not and we had told her before going to move anything she didn't want them to touch and she said she had, when we got there she had moved nothing and she got annoyed at them touching everything she didn't want them touching. We said we told her and she said she thought they wouldn't bother with it. She never listens to anything!
That's all I can think of right now. But for most part the kids were so much better than I thought they would be.

hello! I have done a fair few traveling with my 15mo son. 14 flights actually!
Here are my tips :
1. Arrive at the airport for the opening of check in, ie 3hrs hourly. They can't guarantee you a bassinet seat before then even though they say they can. Dont take your chances you'll need them!
2. Take enough nappies for a flight delay. I usually take 12 for a 20hrs flight.
3. Load the IPad with cartoons.
4. Take only a few toys. 3 max. Lots of things to watch and do in planes - no need for toys.
5. take a change of clothes for you. nothing like traveling covered with poo or vomit.
6. ask for help from your fellow travelers. I always make friends in plane now that I have a baby. Really!
7. take a sling/baby carrier and leave the pram home unless you need it for your holiday.

Very often, people do not watch their diets as they know they should or exercise frequently. One sign of this is when people acquire the habit of choosing fast foods and junk foods mainly for the sake of convenience.

|Power bank
Your phone battery is dead and you do not have your charger.Hmm there is one thing thing that can save you : Power bank.Power bank have become common these days. Our market is flooded with different power bank. What's a power bank ? Power bank can be defined as a bigger battery source to charge your phone or other gadgets.It serves as an 'extra battery' or external charger for your phone or other electronic devices. What is power bank made of ? Most of the power banks are usually have cells in them.Cells can be of lithium Ion,Lithium Polymer or Nickel Cadmium. How do I charge a power bank ? Power bank can be charged same as any phone or tablet.Just connect the charger that came with your phone, computer USB port. How long does it take to charge the power bank fully ? It depends on the CAPACITY of the power bank. The larger CAPACITY, the longer charging time may required. Different charging methods may result different charging time as well. Follow yantragyan on Facebook for more updates. Charging with the original – Charger will be faster than charging with computer usb port. Current rating of charger – Charger with higher current will charge faster Even though using the same charging method, the charging time may be differ due to environment,temperature(more temperature will increase charging time.), power flow and etc Power bank-2 Internal of power bank What is mAh? mAh mean milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measured in mAh Is 12000mAh REAL CAPACITY power bank, able to charge a 1500mAh capacity phone for 8 times full? This is a common mistake made by most people. Actually its not straight mathematics.There are many more things to look for like 'efficiency' of charger that ranges from 80% for normal power bank at 94% for branded power bank.Efficiency increases or decreases with change in current.Internal components of the power bank also affect this factor. What are the different types of power bank ? The common type will be 18650(Li-ion type)and a better type will be Li-Polymer found in reputed brands. What's the different between 18650 and Li-Polymer ? – 18650's(Li-Ion type) size and dimensions are fixed.Whereas Li-Polymer type is flexible in size and dimension. Follow yantragyan on Facebook for more updates. – 18650 produces more heat whereas heat dissipation of Li-Polymer is better.It is much more safer – 18650 are cheaper than Li-Polymer. – 18650 type have higher self discharge rate.Li-Polymer have a very low self discharge rate.This means that battery percentage will get low fast in-case of 18650 and slower in case of Li-polymer when both are not in use. – 18650 need less maintenance than Li-polymer – Li-Polymer battery capacity are more durable than 18650 in long run. What's phone battery health ? It simply means how'healthy' is your phone battery.By the time Phone battery storage capacity will be lower and lower eventually. Follow yantragyan on Facebook for more updates. You may have thought why our phone's battery backup is good when it is new than after 3-6 months of usage,battery backup reduces.Battery calculations are also different for different mobile phone models as some phone drain battery faster in some mobiles compared to some other. What's PCB ? PCB means Printed Circuit Board.It has all the components like microchip embedded on it its controls the function of current flow inside the power bank. A good quality PCB will allow the power bank to charge more and have better durability Is there a difference between branded power bank and generic power bank ? Branded or Quality power bank mostly sell in REAL CAPACITY. Generic power bank mostly sell in MARKETING CAPACITY. That's the reason why you will never see any branded power bank (standard size) have anything as high as 30000mAh – 50000mAh rating. That's also the reason why a good power bank with lower mah are able to charge more or almost same compared to higher mah rated generic power bank Finally, Can Power bank explode.Is it safe ? Anything concerned with battery, has a potential to explode. No matter if it's quality power bank or generic power bank.Practically chances for power bank to explode are near to 0%. But, Make sure that your power bank has all the safety standard and come from respectable brand.If power bank were so easy to explode,Diwali mein yahi milte.

Yes, blogging land, it has been a while. There's been a lot of transition for us in our little homestead, and nearly a year ago, we returned to the suburban life for the current time. Have we given up on our dreams of wide open spaces and green acres? Certainly not. Is homesteading still something we love or would love to do? Definitely. Here's the thing. Homesteading is what you make and how you define it. If you expect me to be a purist, you are far from mistaken about me. My life is far from purist. Bits and pieces of life are combined into a recipe that is of my own making and best suited to my own life priorities and goals. Do things sometimes get a bit mis-mashed and messy? Yes. But it is always worth re-tweaking and making something unique, beautiful, delicious. It's all in your priorities and goals.
For me, having a manageable sized garden and quantity of produce is high. Along with short commutes. And less stress. And possible early retirement. And extra time with my kids. And a beautiful home garden. And about a thousand other reasons that I could share over a cup of coffee.
Are we still really homesteading, though, you ask?
You bet. We're apiarists, cooks, preservers, gardeners, and poultry fanciers, all on 1/4 an acre.
This year, we've...
Did we do some pruning compared to the old homestead? Definitely, but it's been a good time to remember to minimalize my homesteading and choose quality over quantity. I'm keeping busy by honing my other homesteading skills.
Do I still have plans and goals? Definitely.
|Yarrow, pretty landscape addition and pollinator plant
- given bees another go. After a late-winter starve-out last year, our country hive perished. Here in the suburbs they're going like gangbusters!
- planted blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and hardy kiwi--we're staying a while and it's worth the time investment.
- kept our staple crops of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers, and they've gotten a great start.
- been able to actually plan and accomplish a real fall garden, since I've not been as overwhelmed.
- learned a TON about gardening in the semi-shade, as it predominates our yard (a few problem trees are coming out this winter!)
- augmented our garden beauty, with a mind for the bees--black-eyed-Susan's, yarrow, purple coneflower, liatris, hostas, lavender, campanula, sage, oregano, roses, bergamot, sedum, lamb's ears, lemon balm, comfrey, chives, and salvia are all new to my little home--and it is good for a gardener's apiary-loving soul. Borage, poppy, crocus, thyme, and others are on the to-add list.
- added Aracuanas to our flock of chickens and a few fresh blue eggs are already rewarding our efforts.
- learned so much about permaculture and urban farming. They prioritize using your current space and making the most of it. For this point in my full-time-work life, a maximally managed 1/4 acre lot is about all that I can handle well.
|Sugar water syrup keeps our bees busy while they await their new home
- We no longer have dairy goats...and I learned some key things about choosing animals and genetics and historical husbandry of said animals in order to actually get the production and husbandry methods I'm envisioning. They are definitely on my future dream list, but for now, I'm excluded from owning any for several reasons.
- We no longer have pasture pigs...but we learned all we'd need to do them again heavily in the future, including an awesome small-farmer feeder, and the amount of headache that a lack of procrastination saves all homesteading endeavors *cough* castration *cough* (common sense, I know!).
- We no longer have a giant garden...but a short commute comes with that--which is better for a smaller, more intensively-managed, less-stressful, more beautiful, productive garden.
|Bees making good use of their lower entrance...note the spilled pollen.
- Two or three old trees need downed and recycled into terraces and mulch.
- Said trimmings will allow us to terrace and heavily mulch our chicken run area, adding to their bug-foraging, keeping their run mud free, and increasing the beauty of the space.
- I'd like to add another terrace or two of berries (red raspberries, and some honey berries are on my wish list!)...and another terrace or two for vegetables. These terraces would allow me to nearly double my cultivated area.
- Rabbits are still on my radar and would definitely work out nicely in the city. Dan mows for two other yards plus our own. There is plenty of grass hay to be harvested for fall and winter and there are plenty of trimmings and weeds from our own yard during the growing season.
- An asparagus bed would be a great addition for the back of a deep border turned vegetable garden. Lasagna layering that bed this fall should allow for a good home next spring.
- I'd love to expand the apiary to a final of 3-4 hives. Currently we have one. Splits vs. new packages are on the horizon!
So, despite the silence, we've been busy and blooming where we're planted for now. :)

Sean McCormick grew up wearing mukluks. Little did he know that one day, he'd be introducing people all over the world to his uniquely Canadian childhood footwear.
Today, the young entrepreneur owns a company that makes and sells mukluks and moccasins in four different continents.
"You name a country," says McCormick, an energetic chap whose mother is Métis and brought him up in that tradition. "This year, we've sold to 50 countries on our e-commerce platform. E-commerce allows us to get into markets that we couldn't get into otherwise. The internet allows a small company like ours to really go global. You name a country: England, Italy, Russia, China, Korea, Brazil, the U.S. — we're there."
McCormick, who freely admits he could talk about his company forever, emphasizes its mission and its socially-conscious brand.
"I grew up very cognizant and in tune with my Métis heritage," he says. "I was brought up with a strong sense of social responsibility. Between that and growing up wearing mukluks, that set the stage for my career."
It started in 1990 when he worked in a tannery in high school tanning leather and fur and, through a trading post he set up, he'd trade with First Nations women who made mukluks.
"I would sell their mukluks to souvenir stores," he said. "I couldn't keep them in stock so I decided to do it myself."
In 1996, he took a nine-month Aboriginal youth entrepreneurship course and came out with the business plan for Fleeceline, a mukluk and moccasin maker.
"I took it to the bank and started the company in early 1997," McCormick says. "For the first few years, we only had 10 people; we were selling to souvenir shops."
In 2004, when his factory was in Brandon, mukluks became fashionable and the company saw a surge in demand. "We went from making 1,000 pairs a year to 1,000 pairs a week. I opened a second factory in Winnipeg. Then, two years later, when the trend passed, it all came crashing down."
McCormick said the boom made him aware of the power of brand and the size of the footwear industry globally.
"It opened my eyes," he said. "My vision was to expand. I created the Manitobah Mukluks brand in 2008 with the intent of selling footwear to the world."
That's when he teamed up with Vibram, the highly reputable sole company, to make his mukluks more versatile. "We took 10,000-year-old footwear and made it suitable for the 21st century," he said. "That was the start of the fast growth."
It didn't hurt that celebrities — Kate Moss, Megan Fox, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake — were buying the shoes. Even Prince Harry bought a pair for his girlfriend.
Nevertheless, McCormick says he's not a fashion company. Rather, he is a maker of "the best winter boots in the world," with a brand that's authentic and community-based. Forty per cent of staff at the Winnipeg headquarters are aboriginal people and he strongly supports the artists who make his mukluks. One of his programs, called StoryBoots, has the company marketing custom boots — works of art — made by Métis artisans and turning over 100 per cent of the proceeds to them. "We help them reach a global audience," he said. "And get the price they deserve. A woman from Norway House First Nation Manitoba is selling her mukluks in France. It's a culture-preservation thing and it helps me pay back the debt [to the trade.]" Another program teaches young people how to make mukluks. At Carleton and McGill universities, students can now get credit for courses in mukluk making.
On the commercial side, he emphasizes his direct-to-consumer e-sales, but he also wholesales to the likes of Holt Renfrew, Neiman-Marcus and Nordstrom. He's proud of the fact that he's never paid for advertising. Rather, his brand reach has expanded through creative marketing and its story.
Manitobah Mukluks has three levels of product: The artisan pairs that sell for upwards of $1,000; a made-in-Canada collection featuring premium manufactured products that sell between $250 and $350, and a line produced in a Vietnam factory, one in which McCormick will soon become majority owner. The latter sell for between $130 and $350.
"Eventually, I'd like this company to be owned by the aboriginal community, as a social enterprise," he said. "That's my ultimate goal — always has been."
McCormick used two of Export Development Canada's services to kick off his exporting. The Export Guarantee Program gave him access to working capital and Accounts Receivable Insurance protected him against default from buyers.
FIVE QUESTIONS with Manitobah Mukluks owner Sean McCormick
1) What was your first export sale?
"We've always had some customers in the U.S. on the gift and souvenir side of things.
2) How did that first export opportunity arise?
"I did a trade mission back in 1997 and I met a Denver trade merchant. So that how it came about.
3) When it comes to exports, what do you know now that you wish you knew then?
"As a small company, trying to compete with billion-dollar brands, the level of focus, investment and planning — you have to be really prepared. Planning only takes you so far. Being aware of the real costs and how much investment it's going to take is hard to get a grip on. In the beginning, I was a little naïve about how long it would take and how much effort it would take.
4) How has the trading world changed since you started in business?
"It's the e-commerce. Everything is online. Technology levels the playing field. We can tell our story online and win against the big companies. When we go to a trade show in Europe, some of the booths of our competitors cost more than we've ever spent on marketing over our 20 years. It's hard to get noticed in those places. Online it's not. I love the democratization where you can put your best foot forward and have a chance at success. If you had told me four years ago, we'd be selling in 50 countries today, I would have laughed.
5) What is the #1 thing new SMEs need to know about export and trade?
"What you need to know is — what's your strategy, what's your focus? You can't be everything to everybody. You need to know what you're looking to do and focus on that. Our focus isn't trade shows around the world, it's focussing on e-commerce worldwide."

Ok so I am thinking very orange today. I am very excited for The Orange Conference again this year. Can't wait to hear from the John and Nancy and of course Andy. But one of the things I am most looking forward to is connecting up with you guys my fellow kids pastors and kids workers and meeting those of you I haven't met yet. Which brings me to my orange thought for today.
I have been thinking about how we could leverage the orange tweet ups this year. That's right more than one. Kenny and I were thinking that it would a blast to have more than one tweet up because more is always better right. Actually there quite a few people who couldn't make it.
Here is what I am thinking and I would love to hear from you guys as well.
1. Do one every night of the conference –
2. Change locations each night –
3. Have some sort of a focus to each one. – Maybe have someone Like Jim or Kendra or Chanley facilitate a short dicussion on 1 topic/problem facing Kid's ministry that we can tackle collaboratively. (They have not agreed to do this yet, btw. I'm just tossing ideas out there)
4. Have time to network and meet other kids workers.
5. Maybe do a night owl tweet up for the hard core crazies.
6. Maybe come dressed up in Space Atire (ok maybe not, that one was just for Kenny Conley)
So those are my thoughts about a tweet up – If you can't make it to the tweet up no worries we will be up in the bloggers lounge drinking coffee and kicking it with brother Jim.

As a traditional American favorite, succotash is typically a cooked dish made with lima beans, corn kernels and chopped red and green peppers. Although lima beans are used in New England and generally define a succotash, this version is special for its fiber-rich canned soybeans, lending it a Midwestern flavor.

New Mexico Renewable Energy Development Requires Reliable but Environmentally Benign Transmission Corridors
Pete David
The Land of Enchantment may be best known for its breathtaking vistas, scenic mesas and majestic sky islands, but New Mexico may also have the greatest promise for renewable energy of any state with plentiful solar, wind and geothermal resources. A handful of wind and solar projects have been completed, with more in various stages of planning and construction. One critical factor limiting full-scale energy development in NM is the lack of suitable transmission to distribute electricity to urban markets.
Several recent government actions have been critical in advancing development of transmission in the state. In 2009, the state Legislature created the Renewable Energy Transmission Authority (RETA) and subsequently then-Gov. Richardson appointed a Statewide Electricity Planning Taskforce to provide recommendations "regarding opportunities and steps to enhance the statewide electricity transmission grid." The resulting planning report released in 2010 recommended that RETA assume the state's role in siting transmission corridors.
In collaboration with RETA, Los Alamos National Laboratory initiated a study to assess the economic benefits of developing an enhanced transmission system in NM. In one scenario, the study evaluated the completion of 841 miles of transmission by the year 2030 with export of 1,302 megawatts from the Four Corners hub. The resulting infrastructure would create an estimated 745 permanent jobs and generate $78,566,700 in tax revenue. NM's failure to build sufficient transmission would result in the loss of further tax revenue and well-paying jobs produced by wind- and solar development.
Support for development of renewable energy is strong throughout the West. According to polling results in the State of the Rockies Conservation Report covering five western states (Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah and Montana), 67 percent of respondents agreed that increasing development of renewable energy sources would create jobs, and 70 percent backed the idea of renewable energy replacing coal. Even more revealing is the overwhelming endorsement for protection of the environment. In the same report, 84 percent of voters agreed that despite the shortfalls in state budgets, funding should be allocated to protect our land, water and wildlife.
Which gets us back to RETA. The agency was created by Senate Memorial 44, which included language that required them to secure mapping of wildlife and other environmentally sensitive areas in conjunction with the planning and building of new transmission projects. The accompanying legislative report proposes that RETA pursue the development of a statewide environmental site assessment with funding solicited from grant opportunities. The state policymakers understood that full development of an intrastate transmission collector system would come with an environmental cost, but one that could be minimized with proper preparation and planning.
RETA has developed a map showing the proposed transmission corridors and right-of-ways crisscrossing the state. Resource agencies and environmental groups have reviewed the map to identify mostly public lands that are thought to contain sensitive habitat, and the USGS Land Stewardship Data has been used to further designate areas of conservation, wilderness and archaeological value. But the landscape scale used to generate such a map cannot accurately predict where sensitive resources occur or where animals move through the landscape. No statewide environmental assessment has been completed, nor have wildlife corridors been mapped.
There is limited evidence suggesting that transmission development can have adverse indirect impacts on rare species such as greater and Gunnison's sage grouse and lesser prairie chickens through habitat fragmentation and increased predation. Mortality of raptors, grouse, cranes and other birds has been documented to occur by collision or electrocution, although these impacts can be avoided or minimized by implementing guidelines published by the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee or the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Powerline construction can create barriers to movement by grouse and less mobile amphibians and reptiles, but assessing the effect on habitat permeability is problematic without sufficient data on sensitive wildlife areas or movement of wildlife across the landscape. In addition, degree of disturbance may vary by type of habitat, being greater in the high elevation forests of northern NM, but less so in the patchy vegetation of the Chihuahuan Desert. The NM Wind and Wildlife Collaborative (NMWWC), comprised of industry and environmental groups, spent two years developing best management practices (BMPs) for wind- and transmission development pertaining to the potential impacts to 12 wildlife species or habitat issues, including fragmentation. One theme that resonated throughout the NMWWC process was the lack of data to develop sensible BMPs that would adequately advise the industry on how to minimize development or operational impacts.
The Crucial Habitat Analysis Tool currently being developed by Natural Heritage New Mexico (UNM) with support from the NM Department of Game and Fish is intended to help guide regional management and planning, primarily in preparation for energy development. The model designates crucial habitat based on square-mile hexagons evaluated for wildlife occurrences, modeled habitat, landscape condition and corridor metrics. However, like most models developed at this coarse scale, no field verification is planned. Field data collection, such as the effort underway in at least one identified corridor, the Galisteo Wildway, is essential to confirm model predictions. Unfortunately, this level of calibration is rare, and the result may be a product that does a disservice to both the resource and the industry by designating large sensitive habitat areas without the advantage of verification. Unlike ungulates in the Serengeti or in portions of the great northern plains in the US, wildlife species in NM rarely travel across large landscapes, but are more likely to use smaller, narrower corridors. Knowledge of where these corridors occur can help avoid or minimize the impacts from energy development. Therefore, it is essential that funding of field data collection be required of utility and energy companies in the planning of future transmission to maintain landscape permeability for wildlife and ensure the viability of NM's rich biodiversity.

iMac resistance
Sure enough, when we took [the original iMac prototype] to the engineers, they said, 'Oh.' And they came up with 38 reasons. And I said, 'No, no, we're doing this.' And they said, 'Well, why?' And I said, 'Because I'm the CEO, and I think it can be done.' And so they kind of begrudgingly did it. But then it was a big hit.

Client Stories
In April 2016, FHANC and two other plaintiffs settled a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in federal court for a total of $125,000.
After conducting audit testing and filing a lawsuit in federal court last year, FHANC settled a lawsuit alleging national origin and disability discrimination for $275,000 to be paid over five years, including training and testing components.
FHANC intervened on behalf of a disabled client whose tenancy was terminated after she shared disability-related concerns in her housing. FHANC negotiated a successful resolution, resulting in payment of $2,620 to compensate the client and assist with moving expenses given her ultimate goal of vacating the property.
FHANC engaged in a systemic investigation of discriminatory practices at mortgage lending institutions in Marin, Solano, and Sonoma counties. In response, FHANC filed and settled a lending discrimination complaint with HUD alleging differential treatment on the basis of sex and/or disability discrimination for $27,500 plus fair housing training.
FHANC assisted a retired African American couple whose mortgage payments had become untenable following the husband's disabling injury. FHANC secured $52,000 for the couple, reducing their monthly mortgage payment to 38% of their income, permitting them to remain in the home and community they loved.
FHANC garnered $399,715 in settlements (excluding attorney fees and costs) for 5 clients and FHANC through interventions, administrative complaints, and lawsuits.

Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't the only member of the "Titanic" cast who benefited from the movie.
The 1997 blockbuster also helped launch a group of new friends from the United Kingdom into a world music phenomenon.
Gaelic Storm played the Celtic music scene and was heard in the steerage class. After "Titanic" became a hit, the U.K. transplants moved beyond their small gigs in Los Angeles for a tour that hasn't ended yet.
"It was a strange phenomenon, the emotion that people took from that movie," said Steve Twigger, one of the co-founders of the band. "We were sort of thrust into the national scene straight away.
"After that initial push, we were trying to find our way. I think we found it."
At about that time, Twigger's phone cut off. He was traveling with the band somewhere in Connecticut. After two failed reconnections, he called from a theater in Norwalk.
Norwalk is a long way from his native England, but so is Athens -- the band plays the Georgia Theatre tonight. Twigger came across the pond for the first time in 1985 and came over for good about 10 years later.
He was staying in Santa Monica, Calif., buying in on the promises his sister had made about the state -- beautiful blonde girls, sandy beaches and perfect weather.
"It's all true," he said. "Everything you hear about California, good and bad, is true."
Twigger met Patrick Murphy, a bartender at an Irish pub in Santa Monica, and a quartet soon was playing there. The band has grown to five members and about 125 annual concert dates.
The group has continued to tour across the country and the world, all while releasing eight albums. Twigger does most of the writing, which sets the group apart from many other Gaelic bands.
"Of what we do, it's about 99 percent original," he said. "I write a lot, and we get together and add this and that. Patrick and I will get together -- we seem to inspire each other."
Twigger says he doesn't stand on a soapbox. He has few axes to grind or messages to deliver. Instead, he and Murphy draw their inspiration from stories they get from the road. This summer, the group spent eight days in Ireland and came back to the States with a lot of new material.
"The music to us is a conduit to a good time," Twigger said. "The music puts a smile on our faces, and we hope it puts a smile on the audience's faces."
They'll play such music tonight at the Georgia Theatre with the same goal. As Twigger sees it, Gaelic Storm is the same party it was back in that Santa Monica pub.
The group just took the party on the road. They hope it spills over to the crowd.
"We're a happy bunch," he said. "We talk to the audience, interact with the audience.
"We encourage the audience to join in the party."

The president landed at the island airport on Thursday afternoon following an Air Force One flight from Washington to a Coast Guard station on Cape Cod, then a short helicopter ride across Vineyard Sound.
The president greeted well-wishers under sunny skies - accompanied on his flight by pet dog Bo, who roamed the aisles of the presidential jet.
The president's wife, Michelle Obama, was travelling separately with the couple's daughters Sasha, nine, and Malia, 12, after picking the latter up from summer camp.
Aides aid Mr Obama was looking to "recharge his batteries" after a strenuous start to the year.
The sojourn on the Massachussetts island will be the family's sixth holiday of the year.
Bill Burton, the deputy White House press secretary, said that the US president was "going to spend a little time recharging his batteries" ahead of the November midterm elections.
"There will be some hiking, some time at the beach, some time at the ice cream store - all the sort of things you do when you're at Martha's Vineyard. You enjoy the people and the good food."
He is also expected to work on his swing at Mink Meadows golf club in Vineyard Haven and to work out every day, as he did when the First Family visited Martha's Vineyard last year.

JOHANNESBURG, June 13 (Reuters) - South Africa's Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba denied unlawfully granting citizenship to five members of the wealthy Gupta family who are friends of President Jacob Zuma, during his time as minister of home affairs.
"There is no impropriety on the part of the Minister in relation to how the application in question has been handled," the finance ministry said in a statement, adding that it was within Gigaba's powers to shorten the process for the family.
The accusation against Gigaba was made on Monday by Julius Malema, leader of the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters party. (Reporting by Mfuneko Toyana; Editing by James Macharia)

I made a challenge. I ´ve been wanting to make one for a couple of years, but never did it. Since this is the year of good changes I´ve decided to finally make one and I did. Now I present you Soñando Despierta´s 2016 Reading Challenge. To complete this challenge you don't have to complete every single one of these. This challenge is a little different.
I know life sometimes gets in the way when we are trying to read and as a college student for me reading 50 books its too much. So to complete this challenge what you have to do is:
__________________ …………… ________________________
1) Create a reading goal. It doesn't matter if it is 6 or 80 books. Simply make a reading goal.
2) Choose something to keep track of your readings. I use Goodreads because it synchronizes with my Kindle and it's public for all of my readers. Be my friend here.
3) Now using the number you challenged yourself to read decide which one you want to complete. You can also just choose the books using this challenge in mind.
Okay. Now to the list. Here is my very own reading challenge. Disclaimer some of these are the same as other challenges that is because some of these are just too good.
PS don't forget to tag me, share with or comment below which one have you tackled this year.
☐Go to a stranger and ask them to recommend a book you haven't read and read that book
*I meant religious but forgot to fix it

The Voice UK finally went live this evening and all the contestants on the show really have high expectations to live up to.
The amazing Autumn Sharif of Team Ricky just took to the stage and …
It was certainly a tough decision for Ricky to cut his team down from eight to just three last week, but it seems he has always had a soft spot for Autumn. In fact, he got pretty emotional during the rehearsals for the battle rounds as well.
Speaking about Autumn last week, he said that there is something "really special" about her… and he's right!
In Autumn's VT tonight, Ricky said: "Autumn ha the magic that drags you in and makes you go 'This is it. This is the person'".
Autumn added that she is doing this for her mum, as her mum put a lot on hold to provide for her family. Ricky said that a lot of people do this show and say they're doing it for their family, buy Autumn really is.
Taking to Twitter yesterday, Autumn praised Clark Carmody – who is on Team Rita – by saying that she has been listening to some of his original music. Don't look like there's much competition going on backstage then.
This evening, Autumn took to the stage to perform James Bay's 'Hold Back the River', which was a risky decision seeing how popular the song is at the moment..
Staging was pretty minimal, as ever. We expected a lot from Autumn tonight, but her performance seemed a little flat at first and didn't seem to go anywhere, but toward the end of the performance, she really picked it up.
Here's what the coaches had to say:
Will.i.am: "I enjoyed it, I truly did. You sing wonderful, you're beautiful, you have the full package".
Rita Ora: "We could hear her! We all heard her. I think I've seen your journey so far, hearing you, Ricky backing you up… all I can tell you is that you've started the live shows so well done".
Tom Jones: "I thought it was powerful – more powerful than I expected it to be. It's the first time I have heard you sing it, and I love that song. James Bay is one of the best new artists around today and you did it justice. You did it your own way".
Ricky Wilson: "Waw! Well done. You have just proved that music doesn't come from here, it comes from here … putting you through, saving you, and putting you to this point you've proven to me you can do it".

From elaborate city festivities to simple village fairs, India is known the world over for its incredible festival celebrations. With a packed festival calendar as rich and diverse as its culture and topography, Diwali – The Festival of Lights, takes centre stage. A joyous celebration of the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness, this ancient Hindu festival is celebrated with a resplendent display of fireworks and lit diyas (oil lamps) to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune, and Ganesh, the god of wisdom and good luck.
This Diwali, Taj brings you Royal Retreats, nestled in history and reincarnated with luxury, at the Taj Grand Palaces – Taj Lake Palace – Udaipur, Rambagh Palace – Jaipur, Umaid Bhavan Palace – Jodhpur and Taj Falaknuma Palace – Hyderabad, from 25th October, 2016 until 5th November, 2016. Experience the wonder of Diwali with Rangoli designs to welcome you, evenings spent mesmerized by the crackle of sparklers and the traditional Hindu ritual – Aarti. Enter a realm of royalty with a Heritage Walk across the palace grounds, rife with legends of valiant warriors, polo-playing princes and graceful princesses. Complete your evening with erstwhile recipes from the royal kitchens, with a celebratory dinner, replete with a view of lit diyas and a magnificent display of fireworks* to end your evening.
