A 61-year-old Tustin woman died last week from West Nile virus, the first Orange County fatality from the disease since 2008, health officials announced Monday.
The woman succumbed after an illness that lasted several weeks. According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, she contracted West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease, a more severe form of infection.
"This unfortunate death shows how serious West Nile virus infection can be," County Health Officer Dr. Eric G. Handler told City News Service.
The county has logged 39 reported cases of West Nile infection, and six blood donors have tested positive. Officials said the number of cases dipped in the past month, but the county is still seeing its highest numbers since 2008, which had 79 total infections and three deaths.
As of Friday, there have been 453 reported human cases of West Nile virus across California, according to state health and vector control officials. There were 16 deaths as of Friday, including five in Los Angeles County. The Orange County death brings the statewide toll to 17.

I worked at Harris Group
Pros – The HGI energy group does a great job attracting good engineers and designers. I really enjoyed working with my peers during my time there.
Cons – The project management is completely out of touch with the real work being done. Further, the management structure is setup to make it impossible to get everyone working with the same tools and with consistent, quality review. Further, the scheduling of projects often creates unrealistic client expectations and/or artificial work crunches.
Please note this only applies to the Energy division where I worked. I have the impression other divisions are managed much better.
Advice to Senior Management – Senior discipline engineers who review everything going out the door are desperately needed.
A consistent, quality project management program needs to be put in place where engineering has input starting at the proposal stage.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Best comedy club in Boston. – What a great place to go for stand up comedy. I have been to others in Boston and none of them are like this! I have gone many times and many different days of the week, and not matter how large the crowd it was always a fun time. With friends or on a date I have always left happy.
They also serve a light finger food menu and have drinks available, for the Backbay area the food is great and the drinks are priced well!
Highly recommended!!!
Fun and Inexpensive – I recently went to Dick's Beantown Comedy Vault in Boston with a group of friends and we all had a blast! We didn't expect to have such a great time because we went on a weekday night but it was fantastic. The show was hilarious and only cost us $15 each! The food at Remington's was very good and inexpensive and the drinks were reasonable. And to top it off, the wait staff was very friendly.
A special surprise in Boston – I've been to Dick's Beantown Comedy Vault for a few shows on a few different weekends. The shows were always packed and very fun.
I was pleasantly surprised when I went to a show on a Monday night and although I was expecting it to be a slow night, it was still packed and a terrific show.
This place is something special.
Group Nite Out – My husband and I recently went out with 3 other couples for dinner and a show at the Comedy Vault and we had a blast. We saw a show headlined by Doherty himself with a few other comedians. Everyone in our group was roaring, and fortunately he even picked on my husband (haha). A little fancier of a dinner before the show would have been nicer, but i would def do this again.
Good Time – I recently attended Beantown Comedy for the second time in my life and I had a great time. I went on a wednesday night when Paul Nardizzi was performing. I couldn't believe how packed the place was for a weekday night. He was extremely funny and the smaller acts before him still had me laughing. At $12 to get in, it was worth every dollar. Its great to know there is a place offering quality shows 7 nights a week. I was even impressed with the food, though I wish there was more than just appetizers available during the show, as dinner must be eaten upstairs before the show.
I haven't had this much fun in a long time – Great little club. This is our 3rd time and every time the show was great but also the crowd was great everyone was laughing and plaing along. Wish I could go more often,
It doesn't get any better than this. A great night out with friends. – This place is special. We have gone with friends many times and have never been less than thrilled. The club is small and intimate with cartoon walls with a huge safe door as background for comedy, hence the name.
Pub food dinners upstairs before show were good, plentiful and reasonable in price. The comics are great , the service friendly, the appetizers in show room are great to. Can you tell we love this place.Dick's wife Kathy is the hostess and boy does she make you feel welcome.
Good show. Funny acts. – Some friends and I went to a comedy show at the Comedy Vault a couple weeks ago on a Friday night and I really enjoyed the show. The comedians were very funny and the crowd was very involved in the show. The only problem was that the waitress was a bit slow getting our drinks, but she was very friendly so we didn't mind. I'll definetly be going back to this club; it seems like a great way to wind down after a long week at work.
Very funny show – I went to The Comedy Vault a couple weeks ago on a Monday night to see Kevin Knox (my boyfriend and I had heard good things about him from a few friends of ours who had seen him).
The show was great! All of the comedians were very funny. It was a great way to end a long, hard Monday.
The show was inexpensive, the food was good and the drinks were cold.
We will definetly be going back very soon and I would recommend the club to anyone.

Sehwag to control his aggression
Virender Sehwag has decided to rein in his natural agressive instincts a bit so as not to throw away good starts as in the past when he re-enters the international cricket arena.
"I have been doing yoga training. I want to control my game and aggression during the match days and hopefully I will do well," said the Delhi marauder on the eve of his departure to Johannesburg along with four other teammates.
Sehwag reiterated that he was going to perform well in the tournament which is concluding on September 24 and get back into the Indian one-day and Test side.
"I have been out of the team since the tour of Bangladesh. I am excited at playing for India in the Twenty20 World Cup. I have been working at my batting and fitnes. Hopefully I will perform well and get back into the Test and ODI side."
Sehwag did not agree the tournament was a make or break thing for him.
"My job is to perform and the rest is up to the selectors. I am worried only about my performance."
Sehwag, Haryana's Joginder Sharma, Irfan and Yousuf Pathan of Baroda and Kerala pacer S Sreesanth, along with Cricket Manager Lalchand Rajput and Administrative Manager Sunil Dev are to depart for South Africa in the early hours of Monday morning.
The majority of the squad, to be led for the first time by wicket keeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, are to land in South Africa straight away from England. The list also includes Harbhajan Singh who was playing county cricket.
On his preparations for the tournament, Sehwag said he had practiced with synthetic balls on cement courts as the wickets in South Africa could be pacy and bouncy.
I have been practicing with synthetic balls on cement courts to get used to the bounce. I have also practiced against yorker (length) balls as in Twenty20 cricket when the bowlers get thrashed to all parts of the park they are bound to resort to bowling yorkers and bouncers," he explained.
On the absence of seniors like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid from the team, Sehwag said at some time or the other new faces, who need to step into the shoes of these famous cricketers.
"At some stage in future new faces have to come into the team. People used to wonder when Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev were playing whether they can be replaced. It's good that youngsters are getting chances which will stand them in good stead when they have to assume bigger responsibilities," said Sehwagthe batsman who is going to open in South Africa.
Sehwag said it was important to play out twenty overs as he had witnessed while playing the game in English county cricket, that teams in quest for quick runs from the start, tende to lose three or four wickets and then get all out inside the quota.
He also said there were no firm favourites as anyone can beat any other team in this version, but still "Australia have won the last three (50-overs-per-side) World Cups and should be seen as slight favourites".
Sehwag felt the absence of Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar will help India when they play against their arch-rivals in the league tie on September 14.

Long Tall Salley
Former NBA Big Man John Salley makes a play for stardom after basketball.
Kenneth Shouler
From the Print Edition:
Michael Douglas, May/Jun 98
The Women's NBA Finals game blares out of the bar television at the Havana Club in Los Angeles, but no one's watching. Pictures of the stars and the humidors of the stars dominate the perimeter of the room. But Los Angeles has emptied out for the Labor Day weekend. The waitresses outnumber the smokers. Former pro basketball star John Salley has draped his 6-foot-11-inch frame into a chair near the bar. A waitress arrives to take cigar orders.
"What month were you born," Salley asks her. "July," she says. "July what?" he continues. "July 11th." "How old are you?" comes his next query in what is shaping up as a scintillating probe into sun sign astrology. He tells me, "I have to see if she's the right year for me to even talk to." But of course. The waitress giggles. "If she's the wrong year, I'm not even going through with it. I was born in the year of the dragon."
"What sign are you?" the waitress asks.
"I'm a Taurus," says Salley. "I know affection."
"Tauruses and Cancers get along," comes the waitress' penetrating observation about celestial connections.
"I know, my mother's a Cancer," Salley confirms. "I didn't give her any problems during pregnancy, nor when I was growing up. When is your birthday, July what?"
"July 11th, 1971," she says.
"If you were 1970, I couldn't talk to you. That's the year of the dog," he tells her, "and dragons don't get along with dogs." What is the significance of 1971, she wonders. "Snake or ox," he says. "I can tell you in a second....I used to know it by heart. Can you give me a lighter?"
John Salley likes to gab. A former member of the World Champion Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls (as well as the Miami Heat), current NBC basketball commentator and cigar store owner, Salley is a kind of walking chat room of interests, not the least of which are television, basketball and cigars. Salley clips and lights a La Gloria Cubana. "There've only been three cigars I smoked to the label," he says. "Fuente, Padrón and Don Melo. If I could swallow a Padrón, I would. I'm getting a cigar with all three of my championship rings on it, and I'm gonna hold it like this," he says with a smile, holding the La Gloria off to the side, imitating how he'll pose for the camera.
Cameras have been finding Long Tall Salley a good deal of late. With NBC Game of the Week host Hannah Storm (the best woman in the business by a country mile), analysts Peter Vecsey and Salley enjoy themselves, providing observant, amusing commentary on the NBA's featured games. After a New York-Houston game in February, Salley noted that several Knicks--notably Larry Johnson--had raised their level of play since Patrick Ewing's season-ending injury in December (the Knicks won 15 and lost 11 with Ewing and had gone 16-11 without him). He then kidded Vecsey, saying that Pete's criticism of Johnson's lackluster play earlier in the year had spurred the New York forward to play better in recent games.

Lovely and delicious
I ordered this about a week ago and it arrived yesterday along with everything else in that particular order. I bought it in three different colors and they are all delicious. The top is comfortable and well made and although it is poly, it looks and feels like silk.I went ahead and washed everything this morning so I could give you a report. The colors being different were washed separately and that gave me the opportunity to check to see if the size changed. It did not. I washed it on gentle, cold and dried it on very cool.I bought the vanilla ice to go with a blouse in the same order that buttons down the front and they are exactly the same color and will look good as a set.I am the lucky recipient of an organ transplant and am in the process of healing, am swollen and uncomfortable. This top looks elegant and I feel beautiful wearing it.For comfort, I ordered it in extra large and it is probably true to size and when I return to my normal size, I plan to wear it with

Coach Bo Pelini used the f-word. He should be ashamed of himself.
We're not talking about the profane one. That's locker-room talk. It's that other f-word Pelini used in his two-year-old rant that became public Monday: fair-weather.
As in, "Our crowd ... what a bunch of ... fair-weather ..."
Hold on there, coach. You might want to read what's written on the entrances to Memorial Stadium that those folks use: "Through these gates pass the Greatest Fans in College Football."
Fans who have bought every ticket for every game since 1962. That's a streak fans started five years before Bo Pelini was born.
That's 328 straight sellouts, a record unlikely to ever be beaten. A sellout in 1962 was about 36,500 fans. Today, we're talking nearly 92,000. The university keeps adding seats and Nebraska fans keep coming. When 6,000 seats were added before the 2006 season, there were 15,000 requests for the tickets.
Those are the fans who fill the stadium in searing August heat, September rains, biting October winds, frigid November snows.
Those are fans who applaud the opponents for a game well-played. Fans who remember every play in the classic battles with Oklahoma. Those games didn't always end well for the Big Red, but the red-clad fans kept coming.
Those are fans who have cheered breathtaking victories and suffered through heartbreaking losses. Fans who drive from every corner of the state to make Memorial Stadium the state's third-largest city on Saturdays. Fans who routinely travel to far-away road games — remember all the red that day at Notre Dame? Fans who schedule their weddings around game days.
Pelini's outburst — which ironically came after Nebraska's greatest comeback story ever — included his anger toward this newspaper and its sportswriters. That is not a factor. That is old news. Older than Pelini's tenure. Sportswriters and coaches, newspapers and the public officials they cover, have a history of testy relationships going back to the founding of the nation and its philosophy of a free press.
But the coach's propensity for angry outbursts is troubling nonetheless. To be sure, Pelini has toned down his behavior toward officials, reporters and players on the sideline. Just this week, he said he has looked at himself and found ways to improve. And the recorded comments aired by Deadspin.com do date to 2011.
Still, Pelini created his own image and must work even harder now to show that he has changed. He is the most recognized representative of the University of Nebraska. That carries broad responsibility to represent the institution that belongs to the citizens and taxpayers of Nebraska.
And to the fans.
The fans who pay thousands of dollars to support a program that pays him millions of dollars to serve as its leader. The fans who proudly wear and display the licensed merchandise that also supports the program that employs him.
Fans, Husker fans included, can be hard on coaches. Bob Devaney once said, "I know the fans are with me, win or tie." The school put up a statue of him. Fans can be demanding and opinionated. They sometimes leave early. But that comes with the territory, whether it's in Lincoln, Ann Arbor, Austin, Baton Rouge, Columbus, Norman, South Bend or Tuscaloosa.
Devoted fans are the reason big-time coaches have big-time jobs with big-time salaries. Fans are the loyal customers. They could spend their hard-earned dollars on a vacation trip. On a fishing boat. On a new deck in the backyard. They choose to spend it on the football program.
Those fans are among the hundreds of thousands of taxpayers in this state who support the University of Nebraska, of which the football team is a part. Without all of them collectively, there is no Cornhusker football program.
Do they know their football? Yes. Do they have high standards? You bet. Have they seen the best teams in the game? Five times. Can they get impatient? Of course. Will they quit on the Huskers? No way.
Because when it comes to fans, there is no place like Nebraska.

Magnetic Signature of a Submarine
Model ID: 291
A vessel traveling on the surface or under water gives rise to detectable local disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field. These disturbances can be used to trigger weapon systems. The magnetic signature of a ship can be reduced by generating a counteracting magnetic field of suitable strength and direction based on prior knowledge of the magnetic properties of the vessel.
This model demonstrates a powerful technique in such modeling by treating the sheet metal as 2D faces embedded in a 3D geometry. Thus, comparatively inexpensive 2D face meshes are required in addition to the 3D volume mesh used for the surrounding medium. A tangential projection of the 3D equation is then solved on the 2D face mesh.
This model was built using the following:AC/DC Module

Sounds like the settings on the Green Sand unit are not correct..
What are the time settings for the control?
What kind of control is in use for the Green Sand unit?
Hi All. I'm new to this forum but hope someone can help me choose the right whole house water filter. I have a deep well with iron (0.6 ppm), hydrogen sulfide (no detectable sulfur) smell, and a pH of 7.8.
For the past 7 years I've been suffering with a potassium permanganate filter--and with purple water. I want a new system.
Should I go with a small pyrolox system? If so, which is the best and what 'accessories' should I make sure it has? Can the pyrolox be programed to backwash every 1-2 weeks?
Or can I go with a Pentek Big Blue 20 that supposedly filters out what iron? (it's an awful lot cheaper, but does it work?) Does the Pentek RFF20-BB, which is supposed to take out the iron also remove H2S? (It says not, but I've got such little sulfur that I wonder if H2S will disappear with the iron).
Or is there an even better option than the above?
Finally, does anyone know of a distributor of pyrolox or Pentek in Central New York State? It would help w/any guarantees. Or is it OK to just have a plumber hook it up to the existing pipes?
Thanks to all for your help and advice.
Sounds like the settings on the Green Sand unit are not correct..

What kind of control is in use for the Green Sand unit?
For 0.6 ppm iron you don't even need to concern yourself with an iron filter. just because you have iron does not mean you need a conditioner with an iron selective media. For a well with only 0.6ppm iron you could use a properly sized water softener with a turbulator bar and Purolite's SST-60 resin and not have all the headaches that come with iron filters. And as far as your big blue filter that is just a housing you place cartridges inside of it and there are some selective cartridges to use but the replacement cost of these cartridges make it cheaper in the long run to just purchase a good unit.
What else and how much of it is in your water?
Have you had a recent Coliform bacteria test done? If not you should.
Is there any slime in toilet tanks at or below the water line?
Heavy mineral filters should not be backwashed any less than once every 3-4 days, or they load up and don't work well.
Purple means poison/potassium permanganate and you should not be using the water.
I agree with using a softener rather than a filter for your iron but, if you have a real strong odor of H2S, then a filter for H2S only or iron and H2S means a softener would only have hardness to remove.
I stopped selling Pyrolox many years ago. It is very heavy, requires high flow rates to successfully backwash it and most well pumps have a problem delivery that much water. Some wells do too.
You may be able to use Centaur or regular carbon for just the H2S.
No to the disposable cartridge filters unless you barely smell H2S but, do the bacteria test first because you really should not use carbon if there is any type of bacteria, including IRB, SRB or MRB.
You may be able to replace your manganese greensand with different mineral but that depends on what control valve you have.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Hi--Thank you all for your replies. I'll try to address some of your questions below--although now I'm really confused.
I have a Master Water Conditioning Corp. control thingy for the K permanganate filter. It is unalterably set to backwash once a week.
I have not checked for coliform recently, but I can do that. My next door neighbors did check last spring and their well had some. I could always shock the well again--that seems to control it. Also-- I do have some algae growth in the toilet tank. (I plead guilty to being remiss in the last year in failing to shock the well in a timely manner.)
I have had my system for about 7 years, and it's pretty much always run purple after the weekly backwash. That's why I want something new and hopefully chemical-free.
Before installing the filter, the iron in the water, tho it tested low (0.6 ppm), did stain bathroom fixtures bright orange, so I do need to address that. And though the sulfur tested at zero, there was definitely an H2S smell. So both problems need to be addressed. Will a softener alone address both adequately? If so, what is the best type or brand to buy (the lowest-cost quality item)? What is Centaur?
What (non-toxic) medium might I use instead of the K permanganate that will work with my current system and give me good results?
Could you also explain what a water softener turbolator bar and Purolite's SST-60 resin are and how I'd go about hooking them up together and then to my whole house water intake system?
(Note that I've had a local water filter guy here and he doesn't know what any of this stuff is.)
How about KDF-85 + GAC? Would that solve my problem--even tho I know it's a cartridge filter that I'd have to replace periodically? (Would a cartidge be OK if I was more attentive to shocking the well?) If I have such low levels of stuff in the water, maybe I would not have to replace the cartridge that often. However, an online supplier told me that they may not work because I really need something w/backwash. Is that true?
I don't know what to do. Any additional advice or recommendation for a reasonably priced system I can buy would be most heartily appreciated.
What I'd really like (if it exists) is the brand name and model # of a single, low-cost, effective unit that I can buy all in one and have a plumber install easily. If the local water filter guy doesn't know about any of the things you mention, I doubt that a regular plumber would know how to put together a system made up of different types of parts. Would he?
Sorry to go on like this. But I really do appreciate your help.
Many thanks.
Sounds like that the brine draw and slow rinse along with the rapid rinse at the end of the cycle are not long enough for the amount of k that is getting used or that the system has never been checked and serviced..
Any unit is going to need some kind of maintenance, I don't care what system it is.. there is no system that is maintenance free.
Would you go this long with out a tune up on the car or an oil change?
Changing to another system and treating it like this one is going to end in the same way.

[QUOTE=Nat;288490]I have a Master Water Conditioning Corp. control thingy for the K permanganate filter. It is unalterably set to backwash once a week. [quote]
Master is made in Reading PA and historically has used Autotrol control valves; all of which can be set to backwash or regenerate from daily to every 6 or 7 days. You just need to know how, which is very easy and simple. You may have a nAutotrol 263 or 268.

(quote);Do your research and get back to us. I suggest an inline chlorine erosion pellet chlorinator system followed by a Centaur carbon filter which will remove the H2S, iron, any IRB and manganese and remove the chlorine.
I agree with this suggestion, though you should get the water test back before you run out and buy anything but whatever you do, get rid or that dangerous permanganate.

Why Conversion Rate Optimisation Doesn't Work
Conversion rate optimisation won't work for most online businesses; at least not straight away and there's a very obvious reason for that.
You've left it too late.
There's an old saying in horticulture: The best time to plant a fruit tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is right now.
And so it is with conversion rate optimisation. The sites that are doing it really well have been doing it for a very long time.
Consider a site like Amazon, started in the early 1990's and has been testing and optimising ever since. All through the nineties, into the noughties and now we're well into the noughty teens.

Otherwise known as FURLs (friendly URLs) or "pretty links", they simply mean that what's in your web page address (URL) can be understood by human beings.Learn how to write better names... read more...

Some were unaware of the concept and its consequences and quizzed me further on it, so here are some more facts, tests and links to demonstrate the difference.

Why Small Text Size Will Lose You Business
Conversion Optimisation Tip 8
The average text size on most websites is costing site owners money because it's too small and hard to read.
Text size (font size, type size) is one of the most over looked aspects of increasing results from your online marketing efforts.
Yet it is obviously one of the easiest changes you can make (if you can live with your web designer's screams of abuse.)
Unfortunately, most web text is around 12px or less, which is far too small to be effective. The text has been made small in order to fit all the other elements onto the page.
However sacrificing text size for looks is short-sighted.read more...

How to Write Accessible Content – Part 2
Choose the Right Platform
If you don't have the right platform (CMS, Cart, Blog), or have it set up correctly, then any accessibility improvements you want to make will be pointless.
So choosing the right platform at the start and making sure your IT staff or developers have the knowledge to set it up correctly is critical.
Get it wrong and you can be in for years of pain.
These days most modern Content Management Systems (CMS), ecommerce shopping carts and blogging platforms are more than capable of producing accessible, standards compliant content.
That is most, though not all.
Even so, sadly in my experience almost all content, ecommerce and blogging installations I've come across in the past 15 years have not been correctly set up.
Usually this is because the IT and development staff simply don't know what is required, or they simply haven't been briefed correctly.
Often they make arbitrary setup decisions that prevent the system from being able to comply with accessibility and standards guidelines.read more...

How to Write Accessible Content –Part 1
Why You Need to Know How to Write for the Web
There are three crucial reasons any business and its staff need to know how to write for the web:
- You can be sued if you do it wrong
- It will get you more business if you do it right
- It helps people find you and share your content
Unfortunately far too many Australian websites fail to meet the basic accessibility and standards compliant requirements.
Writing for the web is more than just dashing off a quick post and finding an attractive image to go with it.
Even hiring a professional PR consultant or copy writer to produce your content probably won't keep you out of trouble.read more...

1 Second Delay Costs $1.68 Billion a Year
Slow site speed kills your online revenue. Latest research shows online retailers are worse than ever at understanding this simple revenue boosting concept.
Amazon recently calculated that for every second delay in loading its web pages it loses $1.68 billion a year.
I've demonstrated the profound impact site speed has on website revenue over the years but the message just isn't getting through. (Blink and You'll Lose a Customer, 55% of Shoppers Abandon Poor Performing Sites)

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very tight and quite reticent nose displays reluctant notes of tidal pool, lemon rind and green fruit.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Il Pino di Biserno is a rich wine endowed with considerable depth. Plums, blackberries, exotic spices, mocha and licorice are all woven together in this imposing, structured wine. The pedigree of the 2008 vintage comes through in spades. The 2008 is striking. I can't wait to see how this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Imperial Gran Reserva is firing on all cylinders. Smoked cured meats, balsamic notes of beeswax, antique shop and incense define the complex and elegant nose. The medium-bodied palate reveals an impressively powerful wine which manages to feel light on its feet. I needed to swallow a bit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak. Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black..

Layers of fruit begin to flesh out on the..

annual national conference
Join Us
Thanks for a great day!
Citizen University's annual national conference was held on March 21, 2014 and it was a giant success! Over 400 activists, catalysts, and educators came out to learn and practice the art of powerful citizenship. To get a taste of the experience – which ranged from a stirring keynote by Larry Lessig to packed workshops to a giant communal dinner to performances by world-class artists – check out our Facebook page and search #CitizenUCon on twitter and other social media sites.

Founder & CEO of Citizen University
Author and Professor, Harvard Law School
|Hands-on Workshops – Session I
|More Details
How can today's civic activists use storytelling (and the tools of new media) to build powerful movements for change? Cristina Jimenez of United We Dream, an undocumented American and rising leader of a movement of DREAMers, shares lessons and strategies from the front lines of national immigration reform – lessons that can be applied to any civic issue. She will guide participants in dynamic, authentic exercises and examples so you can share, shape, and harness personal and community narratives to public campaigns for action.
As the campaign manager for R-74, which enacted marriage equality in Washington state, Zach Silk learned how to tap into universal values and aspirations to create a new alignment of social norms. As the campaign manager now of the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility and Initiative 594, which proposes criminal background checks for gun purchases, he has a live case study to share. In this participatory workshop he'll share strategies for any citizen who wants to change norms through law and elections.
Joan Blades leads a training and exploration of Living Room Conversations, a method for talking to – and listening to! – individuals with whom you disagree on substantive political issues. Just as a wildfire can start with a single spark, a shift in culture can start with a single conversation. A living room is the match, the conversation is the spark, and the people will become the wildfire that will forever change the landscape we call democracy. This open-source project aims to make respectful, constructive conversation the new normal. In this workshop, you'll learn how to plan, host and participate in a Living Room Conversation, discuss solutions for potential challenges, and discover how to uncover common ground on seemingly impossible topics.
|Hands-On Workshops – Session II
|More Details
In January, Harvard Law professor and anti-corruption activist Larry Lessig led a citizen march across New Hampshire to spark an awakening of citizens who've become jaded to the corrosive effects of money on civic life and politics. This New Hampshire "Rebellion" is part of a larger project in bottom-up change and passionate cross-partisan political rejuvenation that Lessig will describe and share learnings from in this dynamic workshop.
What is "design thinking?" Can good design give the powerless more power, the voiceless more voice? Kate Lydon and IDEO's team of teachers will bring current case studies from communities where people are reinventing what it means to be an active citizen (Greece, Cairo, Silicon Valley) to inspire you to create shared experiences that "matter" in American citizenship. You'll learn how to design for heritage, commitment and collectivism, and you'll create powerful new formats for shared experiences.
Ai-jen Poo is a hard-nosed activist. But her work organizing domestic workers taught her something revelatory: the power of love and an ethic of care to open up big shifts in social attitudes and public policy. In Ai-jen's workshop, you'll learn how to use popular culture to build intergenerational, multiethnic coalitions on the issues you care about. This work is bigger than the mechanics of labor or immigration reform; it is about renewing a social contract and creating new meaning in civic life. You'll leave with methods you can bring to your work immediately.

"A friend previously used Tiny Prints and recommended I try it. I was not disappointed! I ordered the matte cards and return address envelopes and the print quality is fantastic. I asked for a designer review to move a heading on the card so my picture could fit and a proof was emailed to me within 24 hours to approve. Perfect! Also the shipping was extremely fast and I was able to track my order from the US to my home address in Sydney, Australia. I will definitely use this service again in future."
"I am so happy with my baby girl announcement card it came out so beautiful. i used the Pearl white simmer (awesome paper) and the rounded trim (nice detail). The costumer service is excellent. I used the designer review and they called me (which i was not expecting) to make sure i was going to received the designer preview. I was also surprised with the shipment, it came so fast! You have a very happy happy happy costumer."
"Love this card, used the pearl finish and it is very pretty. The front photo quality is perfect but feel like the back photos are not quite as perfect. Would definitely recommend it though!"
"This card is lovely in its simplicity. You have the option to remove the large letter in the corner, to put the focus more on the baby. I adapted this as a Baptism invitation and it worked out very well. I had it printed on the "pearl shimmer" paper and the subtle shimmer was a very pretty touch. (It wasn't overwhelming, just a soft shimmer)"
"This was our first time to use Tiny Prints and we didn't know anybody who had used them before. We purchased 150 of this product using the semi-glossy option. The colors were perfect for us and required no change. I did choose to have a designer review but only the free option. I also used customer service to ask about which paper option they thought was best with my photo and I found their advice to be very helpful. Our cards were received on time and were beautiful! No complaints and I will be using them again!"

Creative Commons Spurring Arab-Originated Digital Content
By: Abdulhadi Hafez
If you are an agency (creative, advertising or digital), publisher, blogger, artist, or you want to do any of the following, then Creative Commons is for you.
- Let people share and use your branded visuals (photos, videos, graphics, etc.), but not allow companies to sell them.
- Encourage readers to re-publish your branded content (blog posts, articles, press releases, etc.) as long as they give you credit.
Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that aims to enable the sharing and use of creativity and content through free and easy-to-use copyright licenses. Here's a video to feed your visual urge and to give you a better idea of the concept.
With the ever-growing popularity and need for branded digital content and entertainment, protecting such work has become even more important seeing that it is so easy to copy and paste other people's creative work.
Fortunately enough, we're now starting to see this become more active in the Middle East, especially seeing that Creative Commons Qatar just celebrated their first year anniversary. Creative Commons Qatar has become an affiliate partner in order to help spur and protect arab-originated digital content. Check out the video they recently created:
Great job Qatar! Arab countries such as UAE, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt have also joined the affiliate network. We hope to see more Arab countries become official affiliates especially Kuwait seeing that we're based (or should we say 'biased'?) there and all.
As you may have noticed from the video these licenses do not in any way conflict with nor replace copyright. Rather they work alongside with them to allow for greater protection and flexibility in the sharing and usage of creative work. Here's a list of the licenses that Creative Commons offers (compiled by the Australia Affiliate.)

This recipe was a great success in my opinion. One of the greater problems in baking fish is in ensuring that the fish does not dry out whilst baking in the oven. This recipe solves the dilema quite nicely with the crust preventing moisture from the fish from escaping, and instead using it to bake the fish thoroughly.
You'll note that the fish was cooked in its entirity, from head to tail. This reminds me of the time Tara and I were eating out at a local Chinese restaurant where we were celebrating Chinese New Year.
A Gentleman was seated to our south, and had ordered some sort of fish dish. This initiated a series of events which included a member of the wait staff going to the front of the restaurant and picking out a fish from one of the several aquariums they had located in the lobby.
The fish was taken to the back where it was gutted, and then deep fried. It was brought out and placed in front of the man. He stared at it for about five minutes before calling on one of the wait staff.
"I can't eat this", he said. "I didn't know it came with the head. I can't eat it with a head".
Me? I have no problem in cooking a whole fish. I'm wondering how much this problem affects the general populace of the United States.
- 1 2 lb. sea bass (cleaned, leaving head and tail intact)
- 4 tbl plus 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 slice Lemon
- 1 slice onion
- 3 1/2 cup Kosher salt, (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water plus additional if necessary
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Rinse sea bass under cold water and pat dry inside and out. Sprinkle cavity of bass with 2 sprigs of rosemary, along with a slice of onion and lemon, and pepper generously.
In a bowl, whisk together the kosher salt and flour along with 4 Tablespoons of rosemary. Stir in 1 cup warm water plus additional as necessary to form a paste.
Place the bass in an oiled baking pan. Coat top of bass completely with half of salt mixture, patting it on, and turn bass over. Coat other side in same manner, ensuring the fish is completely coated (although you can get away with not coating the tail).
Place bass in middle of oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then crack salt crust with a sharp knife or hammer and remove top crust, discarding it. Place whole fish on a serving dish.
To serve, remove sections of the fish with a serving fork. If done correctly, the spine of the fish should nearly fall out and the fish head should also fall off with no problems.
DO NOT eat the crust, unless you have water handy.
