Intelestream Implements CRM Solution for Jaffe PR
By migrating multiple databases to a single instance of intelecrm Enterprise Edition, Jaffe PR is now able to fully embrace the concept of Customer Relationship Management.
By: Stafford McKay Jr
"It was especially interesting working with Jaffe PR, because as a marketing and public relations firm, they fully understand the importance of Customer Relationship Management. The implementation made good use of Intelestream'
Jaffe PR, a public relations firm specializing in legal services, needed to better automate business development functions. The company's use of multiple systems for tracking customer information and marketing messages was limiting information flow and preventing the execution of effective customer relationship management. Jaffe needed an intuitive CRM system in order to automate marketing and sales processes, engage with prospective and current customers through high volume email marketing campaigns, and generate sophisticated reports.
Intelestream recommended intelecrm based on the company's need to operate under a single environment that could consolidate CRM processes, manage high volume email campaigns, and track tasks while being intuitive and user friendly. Intelestream migrated the company's previous systems (including three separate email marketing databases) into a single instance of intelecrm Enterprise Edition. The intelecrm solution was further customized to better align fields and modules with Jaffe's nomenclature, making the transition to the new CRM a seamless one. By providing extensive email campaign and Admin training, Intelestream assisted Jaffe PR in achieving their goal of reaching 100% user adoption.
With the help of intelecrm ireports™ Jaffe PR is now in the position to process sophisticated customer data segmentations and make better business decisions. The solution has dramatically increased brand awareness and lead generation by enhancing what the company can accomplish through email marketing. Consolidating multiple email marketing databases into one single point of truth and further categorizing each piece of data has allowed easier management and more targeted campaigns.
Jaffe PR is a complete public reputation resource, devoted solely to law firms and legal associations. The company helps law firms with media relations, reputation consulting, creative services from branding to websites, and search engine optimization. Integrated teams fully support clients in growing and managing their public reputations and attracting new business opportunities.

My friend Pat's cat!
by cricketjeff on June 22, 2008. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
Has bought a cat
Who looks just like
A sheepskin mat
Walk in the door
And on the floor
This big fat cat
Will stretch a paw
He likes to eat
A lot of meat
All red and raw
Then licks his feet
He never moves
Just disapproves
Of food that sweet
Or jazz that grooves
The flat's too small
He fills it all
And this just proves
No-one will call
And all Pat's friends
Are at wits ends
Friendships all stall
At lets pretends
It is no use
They make excuse
"I've got the bends"
"The bull got loose"
They'll stay away
The wisest say
That Pat's new "Moose"
Can wreck their day
Pat doesn't know
The cat should go
It's friendship's noose
It kills the flow
Pat has a wife
Who hate's her life
She has to show
The cat means strife
She's bought a dog
A greedy hog
The time is rife
For chasing Mog
The cat will run
It's back to fun
Drinking Pat's grog
For everyone!!
Author notes
Well it's fun!!!!

Sick Of It All have officially begun recording their highly anticipated tenth studio album. The upcoming effort is expected to be due out sometime later this year. Check out a video of the band recording drums below.
In an interview in November of 2011, frontman Lou Koller claimed that at the time they were, "concentrating on writing our new record, inspired by the last two tours we've done with different bands. We have some really good lyrics and tons of songs done. We'll see what happens. We've just got a lotta good stuff coming up."

It took us two years of living here but we finally got our swing set for the girls. John built the main part in the level garage then moved it into place and added the beam with the swings and such. It is about 90% done right now just wanting for the slide, picnic table and canopy. The girls are really excited to have it, especially my two swingers Abby and Claire. Harrison has even got to sit in the fort. John has been working hard on it driven by the task master Claire. Daily she would tell Daddy he can't go to work because he needs to build her swing set. She is looking forward to having it completely done so she can have her playgroup friends over to her house. John had to take a break to work on Powder puff pinewood derby cars for Emily and Abby. We will share those pictures next week after the races this weekend.

How to End That Ache When Cycling
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
By Alexander Eule
Nineteen summers ago, I biked across the country, from Washington state to New Hampshire. For years, I wore the trip as a badge of honor while out on my bike, even after the endurance had long faded. But this past winter, with the help of some new technology, I started spinning my wheels again on an indoor trainer. By March, I had lost 15 pounds and my physical fitness was better than it had been in years. I was eager to hit the real roads around my Long Island home.
I bought a new bike -- a $2700 Trek Emonda -- my first in a decade. But that's where things get complicated. After just a couple rides, my right knee was aching, pain I'd never felt on a bike before. I figured it was my 30-something body. I returned to the local bike store, which had already fitted me once on a special machine.
They graciously offered me more time and made several adjustments, raising the seat and changing the position of the shoe cleats that connect to my pedals. So-called clipless pedals are a requirement for anyone wishing to pedal efficiently.
But the discomfort only got worse. I scoured the Web, which, as is so often the case, just added to my anxiety and frustration. One oft-cited expert in Australia posted hundreds of pages of comments on bike pain and how to fix it. But I didn't see a trip to Australia in my near future.
After some more searching, I came across a far more local option: Signature Cycles owned by Paul Levine. Levine opened his first shop in Central Valley, NY, in 1999 and has since expanded to Manhattan and Greenwich, CT. Signature now advertises itself as the world's largest custom-bicycle studio. Levine and I met at the well-heeled Greenwich store; the shop fits in with the Rolls Royce and Bentley dealer across the street. Signature's bikes start at $4,000 and go up to $24,000, with an average price around $12,000, according to Levine.
The bike fitting is a bargain in comparison. Signature charges $375 for the two to three hour session, which is part therapy appointment, part fitting, and part tutorial. We spent most of our time in the store's basement studio, which includes leather chairs, a rug, and a coffee table, next to a stretching table and a stationary bike that's infinitely adjustable – that's where the actually fitting takes place.
Levine has fitted 10,000 riders, he estimates, from first-time cyclists to professionals going for podium (i.e. top-three) finishes at big races. While the industry is now full of so-called fitting devices that take a full-body scan of customers and try to set bike positions, Levine takes a more traditional approach.
First, Levine and I sat in the leather chairs and discussed my pain, along with my goals and fears on a bike. The conversation reminded me of the interviews I've done with financial advisors for Barron's. Just swap fitness objectives for the financial ones.
Levine put me on a stretching table to measure my flexibility and range of motion. "If you can't reach something off bike, you're not going to be able to reach it on the bike." Once on the stationary bike, it took less than a minute for Levine to assess the situation. "It was as if you were on somebody else's taller bike," Levine told me after the session. "It was impossible for you to hold good posture -- by being overextended from saddle to handles. Biomechanically, you were not able to hold a neutral spine position."
Levine and his colleague Abraham Soler, set out to solve the issue. They watched – and recorded -- my pedaling and body position on the adjustable trainer, making adjustments every few minutes. A computer spit out my power output, graphing each pedal stroke. Along the way, I got a primer on how to pedal, sit and hold the bike. Even with over three decades on a bicycle and thousands of miles, there was plenty I was doing wrong. My elbows were too stiff, my shoulders too rounded, and my toes too pointed – all compensation for a poor bike fit.
"Your issues were 80% of what we see," Levine tells me. "Where somebody can still be riding with a certain amount of success. They're feeling good. But there are things they can't explain."
Levine says that 75% of the riders he observes at charity-type rides are in need of a fitting. "In cycling there is no coaching," he says, contrasting it with baseball, where children play in instructional leagues from an early age. "Many of us still ride the same way we did when we were kids. We never developed as true cyclists. We increased power, but we never learned how to interact with a bicycle at a higher level."
Ideally, Levine takes customers through the fitting process and then helps them buy a new bike. In my case, though, I had bought an "off-the-rack" bike so Levine had to problem solve.
He lowered the saddle and moved it slightly forward, an easy fix. But the bike's top tube – the bar between the saddle and handlebar -- was a little too long. The "stem" connecting the bike to the handlebar was already as short as possible. So, Levine sold me a more compact handlebar that lessened my reach and raised the height of the bar by a couple centimeters. I could now reach the handlebar with less strain. I still had to remember to keep my spine neutral and my elbows bent but everything else would theoretically fall into place from there.
One month in, the pain is gone. I still finish rides physically spent but it's because of those big hills, not my knees.

#tbt An Interview with Bahamas/
Found in the Margins is a defunct web magazine that Chris DePaul founded in 2006. Chris and his co-writers would interview musicians, writers and activists on one question: What books inspire the work you do? The Brothers DePaul will be reposting these archived interviews every Thursday. #tbt
This week's interview: Bahamas
"One of my favorite books is Tropic of Cancer, by Henry Miller. I was obsessed with it. Maybe that's cliche, like something you would do [be obsessed with] in third year university, but there's something about the storytelling, the lyricism. I carried it around in my guitar case for years, for situations just like this."
Front man of the musical duo Bahamas, Afie Jurvanen, never made it to third year university, and although spending a large part of his musical career playing back up for Feist, Great Lake Swimmers, Hayden, and several other Canadian music projects, Jurvanen's own songs possess the same lyrical aesthetic he notes as important to his appreciation of Henry Miller.
Bahamas' new album, Pink Strat (Nevado Records), oscillates between twangy blues, pensive pleas for love, and poppy storybook romances. An acoustic guitar, backed only with a drum set, makes for a confessional sound familiar to the singer/songwriter genre. But with Jurvanen, it's as if he is letting us look into his diary. Instead of outlining a direct connection between the highly personal styles of Afie Jurvanen and Henry Miller where such a connection is impossible to make, let it suffice to say that, as Henry Miller shocks us with his "crass, vulgar and beautiful" honesty, Afie Jurvanen has the talent of making confessional song-writing sincere, and that is an amazing thing.
Jurvanen is currently reading Erin Turcke's "Sourdough: A Recipe For Life."
"It's about life through the process of making bread [which involves] timing, ingredients, slowing down--all those good things I believe in," he says of the book.
Jurvanen brought the book to the interview, commenting on its non-assuming aesthetic (it is plain, blue and silver) and how nice it felt to hold. The book is published by Pantry Press, a Canadian micro publishing company frequently devoted to creating cards, invitations and personal stationary.
Another favorite of Jurvanen's is the auto-biography of Stompin' Tom Connors.
"He is a fascinating character," Jurvanen says of Connors, "He approached his career outside how most musicians do. His work ethic is what I found fascinating. He was a ruthless business man, but also creative. That combination makes for an interesting story."
Jurvanen acknowledges Stompin' Tom Connors as a role model of sorts.
"He wasn't so concerned with being distant from the people consuming his art. He was down to earth. Sure, I can identify and relate to him in varying degrees."
When asked why he reads, Jurvanen replies immediately, "I have a subscription to the New Yorker, and it's relentless. If you fall behind, it's impossible to keep up. There is some fantastic writing in there [The New Yorker]."
Juraven also insists on a more serious answer to the question, saying, "There's something tangible about reading. You interact with a book in a physical way. You interact with the words. It's much like music. Your reaction to it [the music] is what's important."
Stating that reading a book is similar to listening to music is different, however, than one activity directly influencing another, thinks Juraven. While there is a relationship between reading and music, Juraven believes "reading is a lot like everything else--interactions with people, watching movies, experiences throughout the day--everything influences you. So, the books are in the songs somewhere."
Afie Juraven rates reading as an 8 or 9 on his list of favorite activities, lamenting nonetheless that he doesn't get too much time.
"It's hard to commit to a novel, but I wish it wasn't."
Keep an eye out for Bahamas as a rising band on the Canadian indie rock scene. Based in Toronto, their new album, Pink Strat, was nominated for a 2010 Juno Award--Roots & Traditional Album of the Year-Solo.

Signs and Characteristics Of Manipulative Behavior
Manipulative behavior, or the attempt to influence the behavior or emotions of others for one's own personal purposes, is quite common, especially among addicts and alcoholics. As humans (or those suffering with the disease of addiction) our emotions usually fog our judgments, making it difficult to see the truth behind hidden motives in multiple forms of behaviors. There are many signs and characteristics to manipulative behavior, and when learning them, you can easily pick up on it.
Signs Of Manipulative Behavior
Manipulation has been defined as the use of deception or trickery to attain a desired goal, without caring about the interests in others. There are many signs of manipulative behavior:
Rationalizing- Manipulators often rationalizes or justifies their behavior to make sense of their actions so that the other person will be put off guard.
Playing Innocent- Playing the victim and placing the blame on another person is a huge manipulation sign.
Distraction- The manipulator can easily regain control by changing the subject to distract the other person.
Half Truths- It's easy for a manipulator to hide some of the information or deny certain things so that the truth that is said convinces the other person.
Playing Dumb- The manipulator will play dumb, ignore requests and not listen to suggestions brought on by others.
Jokes and Insults- The manipulator will attempt to intimidate or shame the other by saying insulting comments, then label the remarks as jokes.
Inducing Guilt- It's common for a manipulator to put the guilt on someone else and make the other person think it's their fault.
Bullying- When trying to be made accountable by someone, the manipulator will turn the tables by bullying them to regain control.
Minimizing- This happens when the manipulator accuses the other person that they are making too big of a deal or overreacting about the manipulator's behavior.
Blaming- A manipulator will always avoid responsibilities for their own actions.
There are also characteristics of manipulative behaviors: Narcissism, needy and dependent personalities, and martyring personalities.
How to deal with a manipulator:
No means No
Know that manipulators rarely change
Don't let them do you any favors
Be assertive
Try not to engage them
Enforce your limits and boundaries
Don't try to bluff them
Manipulative behavior is a master skill that one uses to control others to their own advantage and can cause major harm. Manipulation is frustrating and can be very easy to believe if you are not aware of the signs above. Knowing these characteristics of manipulative behavior may help you detect when you are getting schmoozed over and stop any further harm.

The growth of the Internet in the last decade was driven by its users and application creators, mostly from the private sector. Along with the benefits came the various threats and abuses such as pornography, terrorism, cybercrime, among others. Most of these crimes are done outside of one's country and most would strategically implement such route to ensure that they won't be captured.
Governments are getting concerned about this and efforts in creating a multi-government and multi-stakeholder body is being pushed to coordinate tracking and capture. It will be interesting to explore the idea Vince Cerf is pushing on international agreements on what is acceptable network behavior or not. I wonder what will be the penalties for those who are non-compliant.
While waiting for these efforts to happen, governments are moving forward. Australia released Internet censorship rules that compels ISPs to provide clean feeds that shall protect children from pornography and violent websites or often referred to as adult content. Of course, wives who don't want their husbands to access Internet pornography should be happy as well.
As children now frequent social networks and use chat tools to connect with their friends, where they also get exposed to adult content indirectly, it will be interesting to see on how can this be properly executed. The last thing you want is for innocent sites to be included in the list.
This is not mandatory though and parents who have control of their household Internet may want to opt out from this feature. Like in our home, computers are located in the living room area where access to undesirable content is less likely to happen. But as Duncan Riley noted, opting out may result or require questions to be answered, that in a sense is also like being monitored.
Whether this will affect Internet speed or increase access cost, is uncertain at this point. Telecommunications Minister Stephen Conroy mentioned that they will work constructively with the sector and engage in trials to get this done properly.
I believe that this move by a perceived progressive and democratic country like Australia will set the stage for more countries to explore the same move, especially if done well.
In the Philippines, there were push for Internet censorship in the past and was even suggested by the biggest Internet cafe chain in the Philippines, Netopia. Even if most Internet cafes in the Philippines have already prohibited access to pornographic materials in their facilities and installed filters to prevent such, some believe that government's participation on the matter can help in stepping up the pressure. Getting the Internet monitored may one way or another help in capturing cyber-criminals especially pedophiles who are good in masking their identities online.
With pervasive Internet use and cybercrime growing online, is Internet censorship inevitable? I guess it will depend on what matters most to us. Is it our privacy? Children's online safety? Freedom of information access? National security?
This blog documents Internet developments happening in the Philippines.

Is Internet censorship inevitable?
1 comment:
- designers depot said...
It is good if they can implement censorship. but I think we will not see it any time soon. The internet is just too vast for it to be monitored. any one who wants to do illegal things will just find other ways to go around and find a loophole.

The Dallas Fed conducts this monthly survey of manufacturers in Texas regarding their operations in the state. Participants from across the state represent a variety of industries. In the latter half of the month, the questions for the manufacturing survey are electronically transmitted to respondents and answers are collected over a few days. About 100 manufacturers regularly participate in the Dallas Fed survey, which began collecting data in mid-2004. Participants are asked whether various indicators have increased, decreased or remained unchanged. Answers cover changes over the previous month and expectations for activity six months into the future. The breakeven point for each index is zero with positive numbers indicating growth and negative numbers reflecting decline.
Investors track economic data like the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Survey to understand the economic backdrop for the various markets. The stock market likes to see healthy economic growth because that translates to higher corporate profits. The bond market prefers a moderate growth environment that will not generate inflationary pressures. The Dallas Survey gives a detailed look at Texas' manufacturing sector, how busy it is and where it is headed. Since manufacturing is a major sector of the economy, this report can have a big influence on the markets. Some of the survey indexes also provide insight on inflation pressures -- including prices paid, prices received, wages & benefits, and capacity utilization. The Federal Reserve closely watches this report because when inflation signals are flashing, policymakers can reset the direction of interest rates. As a consequence, the bond market can be highly sensitive to this report. The equity market is also sensitive to this report because it is an early clue on the nation's manufacturing sector, reported in advance of the ISM manufacturing index and often in advance of the NAPM-Chicago index.

"No Pressure"
Hi Joe,
"I pray you will be able to help us, because as you will see we are barely able to keep ourselves a float for the last 20 years. Moving would help us so much!"
I consider myself pretty savvy to know different loan products and how to figure out the best way to get a transaction done, but I am not willing to BS my way into or through a transaction.
This transaction is definitely something considered outside of "normal". I wish I could fully understand what is normal and what isn't. I suppose if the normal mortgage closing process has been taking too long for anyone getting a mortgage, than anything that is outside of normal will just take much longer.
After I reviewed the credit history, I let this client know what the challenges would be and what needs to be done to correct some of the issues and that I need to review this situation with a few lenders to see which one(s) would be interested in the mortgage.
Fortunately two lenders said they would entertain a mortgage application, but NO guarantees. Lenders that do mortgages that have challenges take longer, as there are just more hoops. I recommended that they allow 8 weeks for this transaction to be safe and realistic. I gave the client a pre-qualification so that the home search could begin.
I received a call from the Realtor they would be using and she informed me that she had never heard of such a thing and that her loan officer hadn't either. I can't explain the financial situation of the client, so just explained that this is how long it will take. We are starting off on the wrong foot for sure. Hope it gets better from here.
Situations like this are never easy but we'll work through it to make sure the client becomes a homeowner.

UPDATE - Check out this 31 minute play-through of the initial bank of presets in the Solaris by Katsunori UJIIE, now with closed caption (CC) translation in English. Great demo!
Head over to MusicPlayers.com for a great review of the Solaris!Many thanks to editor Scott Kahn and reviewer Jeff Klein...
Read it now at the MusicPlayers site.
Hi All,
Recently two very thorough and excellent reviews of the Solaris have been published online - one in French by Eric Inglebert (aka synthwalker), the other in German by Austrian Robert Wittek. In addition to these reviews, there's also an impressive audio set from Wouter van Beek (insanic4). All of these feature extensive sound examples (and in the case of Robert's Audio Workshop, a 36-minute sound designer's extravaganza), and show as never before some of the stunning results Solaris users have been able to achieve after only a short time with the instrument.
Here are the links:
Eric Inglebert - La nouvelle frontière
Robert Wittek - Full Review here & Audio Workshop portion
Wouter van Beek - John Bowen Solaris Demo 1 (youtube)
If you are a new Solaris keyboard owner, make sure you register as a Forum Member, then send me an email with your user name, so that I can add you to the private Solaris Users Group. This group covers several topics, such as Future Feature suggestions and Bug List, as well as any OS updates, new Preset files, and any other data files and samples that users wish to upload and share with each other. (Note that this is for the hardware Solaris, not the Scope plug-in I make.)
Another year, another great NAMM trade show...the main difference this time was that, for the first time, I no longer had to talk about when the Solaris might be shipping, but that we have been shipping for some months now! It was really a great feeling...
I also had coverage from some online blogs and communities, such as this video from soundsandgear.com:
Then there is this section from Chris Randall's blog about the NAMM show:
"I got a full demo of the Solaris from John Bowen and Bernard Wong. The Solaris is the logical progression of the Prophet VS and Wavestation. It takes those concepts and just extrapolates them out in to what a DSP-based synth can pull off in 2012. The panel is really well laid-out, and super playable. Some very crafty features internally as well, and the many mod routing possibilities, coupled with an extensive oscillator and filter library (and user samples, natch) gives it a really broad palette. I think this is going to be my next synth purchase."
You can read his entire NAMM coverage here:
Here is a video of the entire presentation I did at the Munich Synthesizer meeting: http://vimeo.com/16004667
I was having fun showing off some of the new features of the Solaris that were completed just a day before Messe, and Nick Batt from Sonic State came by the first day of the show to catch up on Solaris developments. If you'd like to see the latest on the Solaris, please head to the following link: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2010/03/25/messe10-john-bowens-solaris-on-video/
A few days later, Delamar.tv came by with their cameras, and did a fairly long session with me going over what had changed since last time they saw the Solaris. You can catch both parts of their video review here: John Bowen Solaris Video by Delamar.tv - Musikmesse 2010
I have received our booth assignment, and I will be sharing a booth in Frankfurt. You can find me in Hall 5.1, booth C47. Please drop by and say hello if you are there!
A few photo links to start with: First is John & Brian Kehew, next is Larry Fast getting a run-through of Solaris and a photo of John, Larry Fast.
A few more added starting with Jordan Rudess getting a tour of Solaris, next is Jordan Rudess checking out the oscillator section plus Jason Miles came to hear Solaris and finally Herb Deutsch, Moog pioneer, stopped for a visit.
I've started in on my planned series of tutorial videos to introduce the Solaris user interface. There's an added tab for Videos (at left) to access these.

Yesterday afternoon, I took a break from work to cool off in the McCarren Park Pool with my fave neighbor lady. Midday swim breaks are just one of the reasons that I'm happy to be a freelancer. The lovely and amazing Adina from S.W. Basics recently asked me to share what the bravest thing I'd done in my professional life was, and I think it was when I quit my full-time job so that I could focus on illustration. It was a big decision for me, but I can truly say that never looked back. If you're iInterested in reading more about that (and perhaps pick up some awesome natural beauty products while you're at it), then you can get the whole story on S.W.'s blog!
the latest thing I did for S.W. Basics -- a poster which tells you how to make your own beauty products at home, using healthy ingredients you can find in the kitchen

For me this refers to two events that have happened this month. I'll start with the health because this blog focuses on wellness. In my recent post "Setbacks" I wrote about a foot pain that was nagging. I went outside to run for the first time in almost a week. It was cold and raining. I didn't care, I was thrilled to be outside and running. After about a half mile the pain came back. This means no 10K tomorrow and that I'll miss meeting one of my running goals for the year. I also have a half marathon scheduled on March 23rd and am hoping to not miss that goal too. I was wishing for this to easily resolve itself, but I bit the bullet yesterday and decided to contact an orthopedic doctor. I have an appointment today.
I was so devastated yesterday morning after my run attempt. Running has become such an important part of my life, and not having it has been especially challenging due to the other development that's come about this month. My partner of over 11 years and I have decided to split up. We met three weeks before my 18th birthday, and started dating a week after we met. We moved in together in August 2003. We were always the type of couple that people envied. I genuinely thought that we'd be together for our whole lives.
I have committed to being honest on this blog, so I felt weird not writing about this. This has been coming for a long time but I think we were both holding on because it felt too scary not to. She's still my best friend and I can't imagine not being in each other's lives. There was a sense of urgency in our split because we had to notify our leasing company if we wanted to renew our lease by the end of this month. Oh, February.
I have decided to stay in our current house, and have a friend moving in. She is still looking for a place to live, and that place may not be in Orlando. I moved into our guest room two weekends ago. It has been extremely difficult to continue living a healthy, balanced lifestyle in the midst of this. I have experienced depression, anger, anxiety, and a host of other negative emotions. I love to exercise, so that hasn't been as much as a problem (until the foot issue – really awful timing), but eating is my weakness.
My strategy to cope with the desire to eat unhealthy foods is to try to find a healthy substitute for each craving. Fortunately, I don't keep much unhealthy food in the house. I also engage in a lot of self talk and mindfulness. I ask myself why I crave a thing, how much pleasure I'll really get from it, and what impact it will have in the long term. This has helped, but is clearly hard ass work. I am ready for March and hope for good news at the doctor today. Creative suggestions for exercise that don't put pressure on my foot are much appreciated. Also, if any of you have gone through a divorce/separation I'd love to hear from you about how you got through.

What happen this morning keeps on re-playing inside my head.
Throughout the day, I'd been in a stance. At times, I would suddenly zoned out. Staring into nothing. Now & then, Naim brings me out of it. Trying to gather what's wrong. Sadly, I am incapable of expressing myself. In fact, I had never feel quite this way before.
In short, I am zombified.
What happen, makes me think. Re-evaluate who I am seriously.
I guess I am not the person I imagined I am.
Right now, I leave it to Allah S.W.T. Meanwhile, let the incident keep on re-playing itself with hope one day it will fade on its own.

Nana loves Birds. Wizzy loves birds. The birds spend a lot of time in the Towers. Wizzy spends an hour every morning making special breakfasts for them. And they bring Nana all manner of news.
However, on the roof of the 3rd Tower is the best place for a Bird Party. The birds come there for weddings and funerals and birthdays and just for plain fun.
The Bird Choir practises there. Once a week.
There is quite a garden up on top as well and a lake for the Birds that like the Water.
I don't think I have told you about the 3rd Tower.
It's a very tiny tower. Well – it seems tiny because it is the Tower of the Tiniest Beings in all of Triflora. Sometimes, little People and little Beings need a place of their very own.
The 3rd Tower tinkles with tiny laughter and shimmers with wee little fairy people. They call it the Miniature Tower and then they laugh because it doesn't seem miniature to them at all. It fits them perfectly.
One of the very best things about the 3rd Tower is the COLOUR. Most towers are beautiful, but kind of stoney and grey. Some Towers are very scarey and others are absolutely dangerous.
The 3rd Tower is the only one which is truly colourful.
The Guardians of the 3rd Tower are the Sheep. Perhaps you don't think Sheep make very Good Guardians. Sheep don't seem to be very tough or very mean or even very clever.
But the Sheep are perfect for the Miniature Tower. They wander around eating grass and looking peaceful.
Nobody asks them why they are there.
Nobody thinks a Sheep is guarding something as precious as the Miniature Castle.
Creatures trust Sheep.
Everyone looks at a Sheep and thinks
"I am cleverer and smarter than that Sheep. I could NEVER be tricked by a Sheep"
Well, let me tell you, these are smart and clever Sheep and they can trick most people.
It makes them excellent Guardians for the Tiny 3rd Tower.
Now, when you hear of anyone or anything going into the Miniature Tower, please do remember that they are truly tiny.
Just look at the wee little Pig catching the wreath of flowers. He is only as big as an eyelash.
I was going to tell you more about the Perfumed Garden but I am sleepy now so I shall tell you tomorrow. Good Night for now. Sleep sweetly.

A source says the star was smooching Josh Hartnett at a party recently
While she's busy checking out London Fashion Week frocks, is Mary-Kate Olsen also shopping for a new boyfriend?
A rep for the 23-year old actress has confirmed that she's no longer dating her onetime beau, Nate Lowman, who she started seeing back in 2008. The National Enquirer reports that the couple split before Valentine's Day. They were seen on Feb. 4, walking together in New York City.
But Olsen doesn't appear to be nursing a broken heart. She was spotted at the Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures post BAFTA party in London last weekend, smooching actor Josh Hartnett, according to a source.
"They were making out in a dark corridor of the party," the source says. "Everyone danced all night." Olsen's rep has denied the two were kissing.

Huge investor demand for Greek five year bond
The sale of long term debt by the Greek government was eight times over subscribed, the government has said.
Greece's deputy prime minister Evangelos Venizelos said demand for 3bn euros (£2.4bn) worth of five year bonds proved the country's debt is sustainable.
The sale attracted interest from 550 investors.
Greece is retuning to the capital markets for the first time since its economy nearly collapsed in 2010.
The Greek government had initially priced the bond to provide a return of between 5% and 5.25%.
But with investor orders running at 20bn euros (£16.5bn) it was able to lower the yield to 4.95% - far lower than analysts had expected.
The country still has a "junk" credit rating, nine notches below investment grade at Caa3 by Moody's. Standard and Poor's and Fitch rank Greece six notches below investment grade at B-.
Greece has been locked out of capital markets by high borrowing costs since 2010.
The bond sale comes almost four years to the day the government said it could no longer fund itself.
It received an international bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Union (EU) and a further bailout two years later as well as loans of 240bn euros.
The bailouts were granted on condition Greece imposed a series of deeply resented spending cuts and tax hikes.
However, the country's interest rates have been falling recently as its public finances have improved following tough austerity measures.
The bond sale came amid reports that a car bomb had exploded outside one of the Bank of Greece's offices in central Athens at dawn.
Police, blamed leftwing or anarchist extremists, but said no one was injured.
Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel is due to make an official visit to the country on Friday.
Many Greeks blame Germany for insisting on spending cuts and tax increases in return for loans.
On Wednesday thousands of striking Greeks marched on parliament to protest against job and spending cuts.
More than 20,000 people marched peacefully through the streets of Athens chanting: "EU, IMF take the bailout and get out of here!"
The 24-hour strike left schools and pharmacies shut, ships docked at ports and hospitals operating with only emergency staff.
Greeks have lost about a third of their disposable income since the debt crisis started and unemployment has soared, leaving more than one in four without a job.
Turnout at the march, which lasted two hours, was similar to protests held during the last nationwide strike in November, according to the Reuters news agency.
The country's economic output has shrunk by a quarter and unemployment remains close to 28%. There are fewer Greeks employed than at any time in the past 33 years.
In recent weeks, the Greek parliament agreed further austerity measures - including the sacking of 11,000 public sector workers - in exchange for the latest instalment of bailout money.
Last month, Greek lender Piraeus Bank sold its first bond in more than four years. The bond offered investors a yield of 5.125% and now trades with a yield of about 4.125%.

A good option to wear when it's cold out or just a cooler day. Paired with black jeans and a plaid flannel underneath for the look.

Here are 10 different apps and websites that give you $10 or more just for registering as a new user. If you don't want to keep using the service, cash out once and don't come back.
1. Ibotta
- Registration Bonus: $10 with promo code qFTVA

Ibotta is a mobile app available for both iOS and Android devices that pays you to scan grocery receipts. Each time you scan an itemized receipt that has a specific product listed, you can earn anywhere from $0.25 to $5 in cash back.
Recently they've expanded to other categories such as electronics, clothing, restaurants and more.
However, you're going to find most of the offers for food and beverages. They have over thousands of different grocery products listed on the app, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting cash back at least for a few items. Some common ones are milk, yogurt and bananas.
Now you can even get cash back by using their mobile shopping program if you want to use other apps. For example, they give you 8% back on all purchases made through the Groupon app. The only requirement to earn the cash back is to go through the Ibotta app first.
When you sign-up for Ibotta using the referral code qFTVA, you earn a $10 bonus after scanning your first receipt. Just make sure to do this within your first two weeks of opening an account.
Keep in mind that you need a minimum of $20 to cash out, so you will need to scan a few more receipts. You can withdraw for gift cards or direct deposits to PayPal or Venmo.

7. EarningStation
- Regstration Bonus: $10
- Join EarningStation
EarningStation is a short task site that pays you to complete tasks that you already do on a daily basis. This includes activities such as watching videos, taking online surveys, filling-out free-trial offers shopping online and more.
EarningStation gives you a $10 bonus when you register as a new user and sign-up for 5 of their partner websites. This usually takes about 10-20 minutes to complete altogether. However, don't expect your account to get credited until about 2-3 weeks time.
EarningStation is also great if you want to earn some extra money in your spare time. They also have an excellent referral program, giving you 10% of all of your referrals' earnings.
8. Efurb
- Registration Bonus: $10
- Join Efurb
Efurb is an online shopping site that only sells refurbished products. We've found that on average, most of the prices are cheaper than what you would find on Amazon. We even did a comparison of the two here.
Not only that, but you get free shipping and free returns. They have excellent customer service, so you shouldn't have any problem receiving your product.
Although the products are all refurbished, we actually trust the quality of these products more. This is because refurbished products are sent back to the company and go through rigorous testing before they're put back on the market again.
When you sign-up as a new user, you get $10 in free credit toward your first purchase. Even though this probably isn't enough to buy your first item (since they usually sell more expensive products), it's a great way to get a discount on your first purchase.
9. Groupon
- Registration Bonus: $10
- Join Groupon
Groupon is one of the most popular shopping sites on the web. They partner with local retailers and restaurants to bring you special deals when shopping in your area or dining out.
Most of the deals you find on here include getting 2 for the price of 1. Before I go out to eat with a friend, I always check for special deals to see if I can save some extra money. It's not uncommon to get deals for up to 70% off.
When you register as a new user, you get $10 toward your first Groupon. Not only that, but for each friend you refer that uses your referral link to sign-up, they get $10 and you get another $10 when they make their first purchase.
10. NetSpend
- Registration Bonus: $20 (bonus code 3608148481)
- Join NetSpend
NetSpend is a free debit card program. You get a $20 bonus when you register as a new user and make use the referral code 3608148481. Here are the steps you need to take:
- Open a new NetSpend account for free by clicking this link here.
- Activate your NetSpend card once you receive it in the mail.
- Add $40 to your card through a bank transfer, direct deposit, or cash via an ATM.
- Wait a week to receive your bonus of $20.
Although there's absolutely no fee for maintaining an account, there is a small fee when you make a purchase. For this reason, we suggest trying to use your card only once to use up your entire $20 bonus in one go. If you use the card twice, you'll be charged the fee twice.
One of the great things about the NetSpend Visa Debit Card Program is that you can tell your friends about this deal and earn some extra cash. For each friend you refer that uses your link, you and your friend earn $20.
What Are Sites That With A $5 Sign-Up Bonus?
Want to earn even more free cash? As an added bonus, we've thrown in a 5 more rewards programs that give you $5 or more for registering as a new user.
1. Swagbucks
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join Swagbucks
Swagbucks is one of the most popular rewards site on the web. They currently offer the widest variety of tasks available to earn free cash online. Here's a short list of just some of the things you can get paid for:
- Watching Videos
- Taking Polls
- Filling Out Surveys
- Shopping Online
- Printing Coupons
- Referring Friends
- Free-Trial Offers
- Playing Games
- More
What's great about Swagbucks is that you get a $5 bonus as a new user, plus 10% of all of your referrals' earnings. I usually find that I can make a quick $5 by taking a 30-minute survey.
Watching videos is my favorite task with this site since it's completely passive. Once you hit the play button, the videos keep running automatically until there aren't anymore videos for the day, thus maximizing your video-earned points with just one click.
Read our full Swagbucks Review
2. PointClub
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join PointClub
PointClub is a free online survey site. When you register as a new user and complete your profile information, you're automatically given a $5 bonus. However, you need to complete a few surveys to reach the minimum cash out bonus of $25.
By leveling up, you can earn anywhere from around $12 – $14 per hour. PointClub is great in the fact that they tell you how long each survey takes and how much they pay before you actually start it.
When you log-in for 2 consecutive days in a row, you get a a 10% bonus on all earnings. From there on out, for every 5 consecutive days you log-in, you increase your earnings by another 10% until you get to a maximum of 100%.
However, be careful. If you forget to log-in one day you go back to level 0. If you don't level up at all, expect to only earn around $6 – $7 per hour.

3. Acorns
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join Acorns
Acorns is another robo-advisor similar to WealthSimple. Based on your current financial situation, Acorns will automatically hand-select a financial portfolio for your to invest in.
The stocks they pick are usually safe and stable, expecting you to earn anywhere between 4% – 10% per year. The best part? You get a $5 bonus as a new user. You can use this amount to invest or withdraw it to your bank account right away.
The great thing about Acorns is that they have an 'invest the spare change' feature that helps you automatically invest your savings. Each time you make a purchase on your linked credit card, they round-up to the nearest dollar and put the difference toward your savings.
Unlike other brokerage firms, there's absolutely no commission fees.
4. InboxDollars
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join InboxDollars
InboxDollars is a short-task site that's similar to Swagbucks. Earn free cash by completing tasks that you already do such as filling out surveys, playing games, shopping online and watching videos.
However, the one big difference between InboxDollars and other short task sites is that they also pay you for reading emails. Simply open up your inbox and get paid a couple of cents for making a click or two.
When you sign-up as a new user, you get a $5 bonus and need a minimum of $25 to cash out. I usually find that I can reach this amount quite quickly. Refer your friends and earn 10% of all their earnings for life.
Read our full InboxDollars Review
5. CardPool
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join Cardpool
Cardpool is an online gift card reseller. They buy discounted gift cards that you don't want at a cheap price, and then resell them. You can typically find gift cards anywhere from 5% to 35% off.
When you register as a new user, you get $5 off toward your first gift card purchase. If you combine Cardpool with the TopCashback portal mentioned above, you can even get an additional 2% bonus in cash back.
Cardpool has a strict policy that promises that the gift card you receive will have the amount of money on it that they tell you. If you ever receive a gift card that doesn't have the right amount on it, contact their support team and they'll refund you immedaitely.
Electronic gift cards can take up to 24 hours to arrive in your inbox, but the majority of the time they arrive within 5 minutes. Refer a friend and get a bonus of $5 when they buy their first gift card.
6. Raise
- Registration Bonus: $5
- Join Raise
Raise is another gift card reseller. Buy gift cards at a discount instead of buying them at their full retail price. Sometimes you can even find discounts of up to 40% off. Again, you can also first go through TopCashback by saving an extra 2% on almost all Raise purchases.
When you sign-up as a new user, you get $5 free in credit. Keep in mind that their rates constantly change, so it might be a good idea to check back often for better rates or to compare with Cardpool mentioned above.
For each friend you refer, you also get a $5 bonus. Use the promo code TAKE5 and get an additional 5% discount on weekends with Raise.
Final Thoughts
Sites that give you sign-up credit are great for getting some free cash off of your next purchase. Even if you don't like the service, you can use it once just to receive the bonus.
Do you know of any other sites that also give you great sign-up bonuses but aren't on this list? Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for reading and happy frugaling!

The seeds of Welwitschia mirabilis may drop unnoticed into hollow pockets, to be covered with sand and left to slumber unnoticed for many years or even decades, until unusual rains cover the Namibian desert – storms of five days or more that wash the seeds from their gullies and into sunlight, leaching away the protective coatings and allowing the plant to begin its 1000-year cycle toward death. For this strange plant, nearly alone in its taxonomy and a living fossil, embodies as many unknowns as if it were not just a primitive plant, but an altogether alien one. Two permanent leaves, over time, are shredded into limp streamers – the only two leaves the plant shall ever bear, and the only source for harvesting water from the arid desert's fog. A desert plant, and yet not a succulent in the way that we know members of the cacti family, with no deep roots, no water bladders for storage; none of the standard features. Everything about it seems accidental – the anonymous pollinators who fertilize one plant from another, the unlikely events that lead to seed germination, the swollen pink cones bursting with seeds splitting from the two, vulva-like lips of the female plant, and the outlandish idea that a plant might have just two leaves – the same two leaves – for the whole of its 2,000 years.
Survival relies on just such implausible truths. Plinths of stone may stand as long as this plant survives. Pyramids may falter and crumble in neighboring deserts. The lives of the few intrepid passersby in this parched place are as nothing to Welwitschia, whether human, or oryx, or Namib beetle. Continuance is everything.
The plant offers no defense other than life. It carries no spines and produces no foul poison. It cannot close its leaves to protect the fleshy body, which is said to taste like onion when cooked in hot ashes. It has no armor to repel predators, and protects no symbiotic allies within its sparse foliage. It simply exists… and endures.
Structures may learn many lessons from Welwitschia, beginning with the site. In a hostile climate adjacent to nowhere, few threats come from mobile bands of marauders. In the mirabilis life cycle, the plant thrives where not much else can survive, so threats are fewer and there is less chance of it NOT surviving.
There is something poetic about creating only two leaves – two spreading wings that continue to grow and thicken and separate throughout their life. Even as time passes and they are teased into filaments by wind and adventitious injury, they reach like tendrils into the morning to strip moisture from the wind and air. Sunshine is never in short supply when thousands of days pass between rainfalls. If architects could create wing structures of great flexibility without loss of function; mechanically perfect gleaners of the resources they need solely from sunlight and air; and celebrate the complete denial of aesthetics whether in its age or infancy, then there would stand the structural embodiment of Welwitschia. It would likely fail to outlive its model.

In this day and age being a successful artist is to be essentially a CEO of his own artisan brand, or what The Atlantic's William Deresiewicz calls a "creative entrepreneur." This Creative Entrepreneur-ing Officer must be inherently self-motivated, he must have solid organizational skills, and above all, he must be a visionary, one who can imagine the unknown and unrealized and make it an actuality. It is this third thing, the gift of vision, which has no greater host than trumpeter and composer Daniel Rosenboom, which has driven him to create the Los Angeles-based label Orenda Records, while at the same time compelling him to create a series of riveting albums of original music, including his latest daring offering, the live double album Astral Transference & Seven Dreams.
This album represents and signifies a culmination of sorts for the composer. Rosenboom's ability to turn his visions and dreams into physical sights and sounds is now coinciding with the realization of his hope for a galvanized modern improvised community through Orenda Records. The label is celebrating its first year of existence with an ever-growing roster of outstanding musicians and an already-impressive catalogue of albums. As a composer who utilizes free improvisation in virtually all of his works, Rosenboom strikes a fine balance between writing highly organized melodic ideas while giving his musicians the freedom to express themselves in their most honest form. Rosenboom is able to apply this formula to both his bands and his record label, with similarly adventurous and provocative results.
Astral Transference & Seven Dreams was recorded live on May 7, 2014 at Blue Whale, the now-famous jazz club in Downtown Los Angeles. Rosenboom says of the music, "These two pieces represent very different approaches to composition: Astral Transference is essentially a minimalist piece that pairs techniques pioneered by Terry Riley in his seminal work, In C, with late-Coltrane-esque improvisation and DJ-like groove-shifting. Seven Dreams is a more open, conceptual score inspired by and dedicated to my first trumpet teacher, Wadada Leo Smith (who also happens to be one of the great free music visionaries in jazz history)." Astral is a 31-minute minimalist piece for octet with electronic music and groove elements, where Seven Dreams is a seven-movement suite for quintet (trumpet, cello, piano, bass, and drums), in which each piece corresponds to "dreams," stanzas of a poem written by Rosenboom. This poem is featured in the liner notes beautifully framed by graphic artist Eron Rauch, whose own unique visions define the look and branding of Orenda. According to Rosenboom, "The verses of the poem aren't actual dreams, but are essentially musings on the nature of life and existence within the universe, and how human life and experience might relate to the more "permanent" elements of our universe (i.e. the ancient tree, Venus, the Moon, the volcano, Saturn), and a nod to the more fleeting as well (the insect)."
For these pieces Rosenboom enlisted fellow Orenda compatriots (and long-time collaborators and bandmates): alto saxophonist Gavin Templeton, tenor saxophonist Jon Armstrong, and guitarist Alexander Noice. In addition, Rosenboom reached outside his usual circle of trusted musicians and added virtuoso cellist Artyom Manukyan, and the brilliant rhythm section of Richard Giddens (bass), Gene Coye (drums), and Joshua White, the gifted young pianist from San Diego whose second-place finish in the 2011 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition catapulted him into predominance. All the musicians play with a controlled frenzy that underscores their sophisticated understanding of the organization of sound, but the composer himself steals the show with his powerful, emotional, impeccable trumpet lines which propel his playing further to the forefront than in any of his prior works. The other players follow their leader's example and turn in inspired individual performances, no doubt buoyed by the enthusiastic support of the live audience at the club. Rosenboom intimates that this album will be the first in a series on Orenda Records called "Live at Blue Whale", which aims to document the almost magical atmosphere which is becoming the stuff of legend in Los Angeles and throughout the worldwide jazz community.
With it's focused yet wide-ranging sonic imagery, coupled with the collaboration and integration of a diversity of talent, Astral Transference & Seven Dreams is the next step toward realizing Daniel Rosenboom's vision of both his own musical development and the ultimate goals of his brainchild, Orenda. "I think this album is a harbinger of things to come - I think I've found a community of musicians who can come together and create astonishing music, and when given a framework to play with, they can create unexpected and expansive music. So, there might be more experiments like this on the very near horizon!"
Let's hope so.

Audio transcript: On the philosophy of the Disabled Childrens Computer Group
Note: Transcripts have been lightly edited; therefore there may be slight discrepancies with audio clips.
It made no sense, so the idea was to say that the individual at the center of this process—whose decision about tools and goals was most important—was the individual with the disability—kid or adult. Our job was to pay attention to the desires that people expressed and to help provide, to support and facilitate that process, of that person getting the technology that they choose for the purposes they choose. That was a pretty radical notion and that was what the whole thing was all about.
Many of us who were founders of this whole process were those who had been victimized by the system which said, you know, you couldn't use this technology, you don't have the fine motor, you don't have the this, or you don't have the that. And you know, the whole point of technology was to say that all of those distinctions were no longer relevant because with the technology we could do things that couldn't have otherwise been done. But the value of self-determination, self-empowerment, a decision-making process centering on the individual and not around the therapist and the medical staff was what we were looking for.

I love diners. If you have been following along, you might have already noticed, since I suggested another one in #9. (I hope you like them, too, because if you stick around, I'll probably have another one or two to recommend.)
The Park Café's neon sign beacons from 515 20th Street West, calling all hungry souls in for some serious comfort food. A perfect example of not judging the proverbial book by its cover, this little hole-in-the-wall serves up all my diner favourites with a fresh and local twist and a heaping side order of creativity.
My favourite -- the Benny, Murphy & the Boys -- is a "traditional" Eggs Benedict with your choice of locally sourced Canadian back bacon or in-house alder-smoked salmon and home-made hollandaise sauce. Their seasonal fruit cup side is not the two-grapes and under-ripe honeydew melon you're used to. It is fresh, colorful and delicious.
My little guy made full use of both his and my fresh fruit cup, the diner's selection of high-chairs and the washroom change table during our last visit.
I haven't made it to all diners in Saskatoon yet (although I fully intend to), so it may be premature to declare the best of the best. But, I can confidently say the Park Café is one to beat.
Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekdays. Try their delicious lunch specials on another adventure!
