Employee Appreciation Week
May 29, 2013
By Michelle Leitzy, account supervisor
A few weeks ago, we celebrated employee appreciation week at FrazierHeiby. This was the second time the firm has celebrated its employees and I must say that it's a week very much appreciated by the staff.
We work incredibly hard at FrazierHeiby to serve our clients, whether it's to create a branding campaign, secure media coverage or provide counsel about an issue. So, when we have a chance to partake in some perks for our hard work, we take it!
So, what did the employees at FrazierHeiby do during employee appreciation week? First, we had the opportunity to wear jeans instead of business attire all week. Yes, it's the little things, but it helped some of us save on our dry cleaning costs that week!
And then of course, there was the food. Who wouldn't want to start their week off with mimosas and pastries? (I've decided that starting a Monday off with a mimosa is definitely the way to go and we may need to implement this practice a bit more often!) We also had lunch brought in to the office one day and more sweets and desserts around than I care to admit.
I think I can speak for our entire staff when I say the best part of the week was a behind-the-scenes tour at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
We enjoyed an afternoon off to see animals up close like I've never seen before, including the polar bears, elephants, a rhino (which we had the opportunity to feed) and much more. I can say that it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. See for yourself – view our photos from our zoo outing here.
All in all, our employee appreciation celebratory week was a great one and I look forward to more in the future!
Has your company participated in an employee appreciation day or week in the past? If so, what types of things did you do or what benefits did you receive? What types of things would you like to receive or do during an employee appreciation week?
Where Has the Time Gone?
May 23, 2013
By Denise Clark, director of client and administrative services
When you say "FrazierHeiby is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year," it doesn't sound all that long.
That's until I thought about it from a personal perspectives. Back in 1983, I was only 16 years old. Yes, you can do the math and figure out how old I am.
At 16, the world is just beginning to open up to you.
I gained some independence that year when I got my driver's license. At that time, my family owned a Chrysler station wagon with some sort of crushed velvet seats – and, of course, it had the wood paneling on the sides! In this car, I drove myself to and from work at Lake Austin. I lived in the country and I traveled many twisting and sometimes treacherous roads, always way too fast. I would have been grounded if my parents knew the risks I took in that car (risks I would not take today). But I do remember feeling like an adult every time I got behind the wheel.
That was the year I was officially allowed to date – a right of passage for teenagers everywhere. Again, I experienced a sense of freedom, but at the same time I began to realize that the choices I made have impacts.
When I was 16, I first started thinking about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I thought I would be a nurse like my mom, but then realized I probably wouldn't like taking orders from doctors, so I quickly moved on from that idea. I also considered being a fiction writer, but wasn't sure how to make that into something that could pay the bills. It wasn't until I got to college that I discovered what I wanted to do for my career.
30 years ago, there were a lot of changes in my life. But that doesn't even compare to the journey that has brought me to where I am today.
In the past 30 years, my immediate family has had five marriages, two divorces, the births of 11 children, one fight against cancer and two hip replacement surgeries. We've dealt with the death of a father, a father-in-law and a mother-in-law. We've seen one family member serve his country in Iraq as a National Guard member and re-enlist as a member of the Air Force National Guard.
It seems like it has all happened in the blink of an eye. I know that sounds cliché but that is the only way I can describe it. I look at my nieces and nephews and see my mom and dad in them. I am amazed at how different we can be but yet how similar.
And I have to wonder what it will be like to look back 30 years from now. I wonder how this will have changes, but yet stayed the same?
Listen & Learn
May 1, 2013
by Kathleen Anthony, account supervisor
In my role at FrazierHeiby I'm called on to write a lot of guest columns, op-eds and letters to the editor. Though communication professionals have used these devices for decades, I have to admit that prior to joining the firm nearly two years ago, I had very little experience with opinion pieces.
So, of course one of my first challenges at my new firm with my new client was to write a 700-word op-ed. The column, which required a solid understanding of a very technical industrial process and of key legislation and regulation, was to be signed by an expert in the field who was known and respected for his writing ability. No pressure, right?
Aware that this was a sink-or-swim moment, I sat down at my computer determined to write a column that would make the client, my employer and myself proud. A few hours later, I had a darn good draft ready for review. The response from the client was tremendous. Not only did I nail the subject matter, but I also managed to capture the voice of the client.
I'm not a mind reader or a mimic, but what I am fairly good at is listening, especially when a client is speaking. I attribute the success of that first op-ed to being a sponge soaking up not only every fact and minute detail about the subject matter, but also paying close attention to the client's choice of words, tone and manner when he discussed the topic. As I was writing, I would repeat every sentence in my head as if the client was saying it. If it didn't sound genuine, it didn't make the cut.
That first op-ed not only helped me find my client's voice, but helped establish a level of trust that is vital for a client relationship to thrive. And dozens upon dozens of op-eds and letters later, it's a strategy I employ every time I write for a client.
How do you approach writing for a client? Do you have any tips on writing opinion pieces?
Happy Birthday, FrazierHeiby!
April 12, 2013
by Doug Frazier, chief creative officer
Today is FrazierHeiby's 30th anniversary. We thought it would be fun to share some of our milestones with you.
The firm was founded with a vision for the practice of public relations, community relations and a focus on client service and flexibility. An Ohio State University student intern came aboard, the first of more than 200 students who have studied under our direction. Clients at that time included The Columbus Dispatch and the League Against Child Abuse.
1984 to 1996
We continued to grow and the company moves to its first offices, also adding visual design and brand counsel to its services. In 1989, the firm was one of the first in the state to employ computer design tools. Clients included Fifty Five Restaurants, Burgess & Niple, Bank Ohio and Airnet Systems.
1997 to 2004
The firm's talented staff took on more strategic programming, including support for clients on a national/international basis. Programs included strategic planning, national advertising, broad-based media programs, crisis communications and brand identity counsel. Clients included Frigidaire, Electrolux, Schoedinger Funeral & Cremation Service and First Community Village.
2005 to 2012
The firm enjoyed success serving larger branded clients while employing social media and Internet technology to test consumer attitudes, connect with key constituents throughout the world and provide up-to-the-minute monitoring of audience behaviors. Clients included Sports Imports, Ohio Soybean Council, Ohio Corn Growers Association, Kroger and Fairfield Medical Center.
FrazierHeiby continues to provide full-service public relations counsel to a myriad of new and long-standing clients including AEP Ohio, the Ohio Oil & Gas Association, Cabela's and the City of Hilliard. In celebration of our 30th anniversary, we continue to adopt community organizations for probono support. This year we are supporting the Thurber House, a non-profit literary center and James Thurber museum.
Celebrating 30 years
April 5, 2013
By Tom Heiby, chief executive officer
2013 marks our 30th year providing strategic marketing communications to clients from Columbus to Italy. This is something not many businesses attain and is certainly a significant accomplishment for our industry, one that sees firms come and go, mergers and acquisitions.
I am proud to say that we have attained this through our strategic commitment to be and remain independent, with an experienced and accomplished team of associates, not to mention the multitude of clients that have been such great supporters by entrusting us with their marketing and public relations initiatives and challenges.
Yes some clients have come and gone, but those that did are still some of our best supporters and testimonials.
One 30-year accomplishment has been our intern program. It's always a joy when Doug expels on the many interns that we have had the pleasure to host during this time and assist in jump-starting their careers. We may have lost count – 200+ – but we are always reminded of them as we see them years later providing counsel to their clients – very satisfying.
I suspect the next obvious topic would be to share some client experiences from over the years. I'm going to save that for my book!
Frankly, this 30th milestone year to me is about the firm…our associates.
Over the past several years, I have created an annual, internally-focused theme as a means to communicate a particular challenge or goal that is specific to that year. Even if you are recipient of our eNewsletter or read our blogs, you would not have read about the themes. This year, I am making an exception.
The theme for 2013 is Drive.
I do not expect anyone outside of FrazierHeiby to understand it and I have no expectations of you to embrace it as I have – as our firm has already in so many ways.
But I do want to share with you why I am writing about it. It's because I did not create it. It was a collaborative effort by our associates. It's their creation, their strategy, their theme and I proudly supported it the minute it was presented to me along with several options (you just might hear about those in following years!). And while internally focused, it has so many applications to external audiences as well – clients, community and our industry.
As you might expect, Drive is an acronym:
Rapid Response
Multiple sub-topics abound within. I suspect some of you may be able to figure out many of them.
Drive is driving (sorry it just fits) how we conduct ourselves in 2013. We have a team that created several celebratory internal and external activities that we will be implementing throughout the year. Some have already been completed with many exciting ones to come. All of the activities are housed within a public relations plan – that has measurements!
We have a great team in place. I could not be more proud of them and of the Drive and commitment that they display each and every day for our clients, as well as the pro-bono work they do in their individual activities within various community activities. If you haven't already, I hope you will be able to connect with them during the year as we Drive our business through the next 30 years.

Tech Tips with Gnull and Voyd
I knowed somebody was gonna get to this problem sooner or later. You get too many inodes on your system, and you're asking for another heap of trouble. This tells you how to find out and fix it. —Chester
One of the most common tasks of a system administrator is storage management. When you're faced with a full or almost full filesystem, it's good to have a few tools at your disposal to help figure out "where" the hog is.
Searching for space hogs is very easy. With one simple command you can total up the contents of every directory in a tree (/usr in this case) and see which are the largest:
du -k /usr/ |sort -n |tail -30 167156 /usr/include 168960 /usr/share/icons 173972 /usr/share/texmf 244332 /usr/bin 263144 /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0 265492 /usr/share/doc 344536 /usr/share/locale 1223992 /usr/lib 1959412 /usr/share 4159996 /usr/
As you can see, /usr/share/ and /usr/lib/ are pretty big, and you can drill down further by going up the list.
A somewhat rarer situation is running out of inodes in a filesystem. In this case, you will see available space, but the system will be unable to write new files because it has run out of inodes. To find inode hogs, use this quick Perl script named inodu:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w my $start=$ARGV[0]; foreach $object (`find '$start'`){ my @parts=split(/\//,$object); while(pop(@parts) ){ my $object = join('/',@parts); $object =~ s/\/+/\//g; $object2qty{$object}++; } } foreach $object (sort { $object2qty{$a} <=> $object2qty{$b} } keys %object2qty){ print $object2qty{$object} . "\t${object}\n"; }
This will total up the number of filesystem objects in each directory and supply an output much like the previous example. Use it like this:
cd /usr ./inodu . 10420 ./include 10973 ./share/texmf 12012 ./share/man 13207 ./share/doc 14953 ./share/icons 16481 ./src/kernels 17201 ./src 22982 ./lib 105527 ./share 174270 . 174271
As you can see, again share and lib are the inode hogs using more than 100,000 inodes!
If you find yourself in any of these situations, there are a number of ways to create more free space or inodes. First, look for log files that can be purged, moved or compressed. Ask users to clean up their home directories. Remove any unnecessary software. If you are using Linux LVM and ext3fs, you can expand the filesystem using lvresize and resize2fs to grow a filesystem. This creates more free space and inodes, but only if you have free space in your volume group. If you have free disk space, you can create a new partition (for, say, your /var tree), move the files to that partition and mount it as /var. As a last resort, you can move files and directories and use symlinks so the old path still works. I say "last resort" because this method can get out of hand very quickly and can make things very confusing.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Read MoreGulf Coast Kid's House currently offers three formal child abuse prevention programs. If your agency or community group is interested in learning about child abuse prevention, we will customize training to fit the needs of your group. Prevention programs may be offered at your facility or at Gulf Coast Kid's House. The three formal prevention programs offered at Gulf Coast Kids house are summarized below
This nationally recognized program is for any responsible adult that interacts with children on a personal or professional level. The focus of Stewards of Children is education regarding child sexual abuse. During this three-hour video and facilitator led course, participants will learn about the prevalence of child sexual abuse, ways to prevent child sexual abuse, how to recognize if child sexual abuse is occurring and how to react responsibly if a child discloses that they are being sexually abused. Schedule of course held at Gulf Coast Kid's House:
This program teaches children that dangers of abuse and abduction are real in a fun, non-threatening and interactive way. This one-hour video and facilitator led course covers safety concerns such as home safety, good touch/bad touch and stranger danger. Gulf Coast Kid's House works collaboratively with schools and child care centers in Escambia County to offer this program. Safety N.E.T Kids is most appropriate for children grades K-5. Call 595-5800 to schedule your class.
Gulf Coast Kid's House recognizes that many times abuse occurs because families do not have basic emotional support systems in place. Circle of Parents is a peer support group which allows parents to discuss the challenges of parenting in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
The best form of child abuse prevention is education. If you are interested in learning more about our programs or becoming a volunteer, please call Gulf Coast Kid's House at 595-5800.
To report a case of child abuse, call the Abuse Hotline at 1-800-96ABUSE.

Bright and intrepid, great hops on a grassy backdrop, and superb interplay between all the elements. Wait, are we talking about the beer or the Stars Soccer team? The two converge in this tribute beer to The MN Stars FC, the 2011 North American Soccer League Champions. To support their worthy efforts we've developed a hop-forward pale ale of the American school. Palisade hops lend a smooth bitterness while Centennial and Columbus provide brisk citrus, pine, and grassy flavors. A measured contribution of crystal sweetness from Bairds Light Carastan rounds out the flavor and makes for a sessionable ale, perfect for watching the latest match or unwinding after a game. Northern Brewer is donating 10% of profits from this kit to the Sanneh Foundation, a charity that focuses on soccer as a way to make a difference in the lives of inner city kids.

I am glad I didn't give up. This kit was easy to do and turned out great. Followed the directions exactly as written. Cracked the first bottle at only 1 week and was as giddy as a schoolgirl with it. Amazing hop flavor already. Waited another week and was just as happy with the beer. All my friends fell in love with it too. Will be brewing this beer again soon. I have brewed two more beers from Northern Brewer and they have all been great. I will not buy my kits from anyone else from now on! (Posted on 4/1/13) - Best Batch I've Brewed Review by Ryan

I have a friend who is about to brew the AG version so i am keen to try that one. He has said this was probably my best brew yet.
It is an easy kit to brew and the result both times have been great. Personally i prefer the 1056 yeast option, and I did a split addition of the extract.
If you like American pale ales try this one, i doubt you will be disappointed. (Posted on 9/22/12) - Terrific, As Is, then modifiy for an even better summer refresher Review by VRWESQ

social media watch
Posted by Sheila Shayon on May 24, 2012 04:01 PM
IBM's new study of 1709 global CEOs in 64 countries and 18 industries shows top executives and brand leaders are embracing openness, transparency and employee empowerment over the traditional command-and-control ethos that has defined the corporation for the last 100 years.
While just 16% of C-suite occupants surveyed actively participate in social media, adding or replacing email and phone usage, that number is projected to increase to 57% by 2017.
"As CEOs ratchet up the level of openness within their organizations, they are developing collaborative environments where employees are encouraged to speak up, exercise personal initiative, connect with fellow collaborators, and innovate," the study concludes.
CEOs and their C-suite colleagues set the cultural tone and key findings of the study include:
One example is Peter Voser, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, who says the days of isolated innovation are ending, replaced by strategic partnerships as a key to success.
"Innovating together with your partners is a win-win for both," says Voser. "At Shell, we not only deal with energy, we also need to focus on challenges such as water and food as they're all interlinked. That's why driving innovation together, also across industries, is extremely important."
"One of the most compelling findings is how in tune CEOs are about the implications and impact of social media," said Bridget van Kralingen, SVP, IBM Global Business Services. "Rather than repeating the familiar lament about de-personalizing human relationships, this view leans heavily in favor of deepening them, and using dynamic social networks to harness collective intelligence to unlock new models of collaboration."
Building a next-generation workforce requires active recruitment of employees who excel in open, team-based environments. CEOs are recognizing the need for more sophisticated business analytics to mine the data tracked online, on mobile and on social media sites to create a more holistic understanding of customers beyond engagement with their organization.
"The IBM study shows that CEOs and the companies they manage must constantly evolve to stay competitive," writes Forbes. "Partners, suppliers, employees and customers want CEOs to communicate with them on a personal level to build trust and to help align them to the organization's strategy. There is a lot at stake here. And if CEOs continue to hide in their Ivory Towers under the guise of some old command and control mentality, the next chapter in their career might be written somewhere else."

Rebuilding Peoria Changes Lives
By: Angelica Alvarez, WMBD/WYZZ TV
Updated: April 20, 2009
WMBD/WYZZ TV - PEORIA -- Blessed is the only word Annie Carter could think of when close to 50 volunteers took over her home to change her life.
She says, "It's overwhelming to know there are still people out there who care about others."
Volunteers from Rebuilding Peoria are revamping and revitalizing the home of Annie and Pearthur Carter, a house they've called home for 20 years and where they raised seven children. Carter says the past four years have gotten pretty hard for them with her husband's health fading.
"His medication and everything has cleaned us out so I couldn't afford to get the repairs done."
But now those repairs are in the hands of volunteers. Rick Brown with Rebuilding Peoria says, "The biggest issues we saw was the fact that we had broken windows, the bathroom had real major issues with plumbing, it was really a challenge to say let's take the highest priority. We want to make sure things are safe for the homeowner as well as make things look a lot better."
And for one volunteer this project really hit home. Forty years ago, Ernie Rech called the house in the 2100 block of Antoinette Street home.
He says, "I was shocked! Out of all the houses they do in the whole area, to find my house, my old house I lived in, so I had to help no doubt about that."
When Carter found out one of the volunteers used to live in her home she said, "It was real weird! There were things his grandmother or mother left in the closet that I had to show him."
So with the help of an old tenant and dozens of volunteers, the Carters will soon feel like they're living in a brand new home.
Rebuilding Peoria will finish the repairs on Saturday the 25th. The house on Antoinette Street is one of two houses being sponsored by the Caterpillar Foundation. Altogether, Rebuilding Peoria is remodeling 15 homes this year.

Twitter's Hashtag-Powered Comedy Festival Sounds Confusing
The entertainment industry's looking pretty experimental these days, with the announcement of a new five-day-long comedy festival on Twitter. Yes, there is a hashtag involved.
Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO might want only "cool, good-looking people" to wear his brand's clothes, and his stores' anti-plus size policy is definitely making people upset this week. Except the most popular response so far — getting back at A&F by handing out its clothes to homeless people and filming them for all the Internet to see — isn't exactly the answer.
The entertainment industry's looking pretty experimental these days, with the announcement of a new five-day-long comedy festival on Twitter. Yes, there is a hashtag involved.
While it can be tough to keep track of the actually exciting news amidst all the panels and tweets from both the interactive and film parts of the festival, well, there might be a Trainspotting sequel! And people have seen the new Arrested Development episodes now!
The criticism is still raining down on the Oscar host — "sexist" and "racist" and "worst ever" are not uncommon from all over today. But was he funny? Some professional funny people seem to think so.

Our sweet spot: 1000 words or less (500-800) We really like flash fiction!
Submit as much and as often as you like! :)
Things to consider before sending:
*Read this short comic: "How to Piss Off a Magazine Editor"
*Proofread it! We only take polished work.
*Read a few submissions (and comment to help others improve!)
*Daily Love can't take X-rated work or ultraviolence. Send those to Razor Dildo(NSFW) instead.
Things we like:
Happy love stories, sad love stories, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Stephanie Meyer, Lauren Weisberger, stories that mix love with exotic surroundings like beaches, space and Victorian castles, beautiful horses galloping along the beach, that kind of thing. If its love, we want it. Send it on in!
When submitting, please submit your story in the body of an email. Follow this basic format:
Your Story Title
Your Name
Your website (if you have one)
Story's word count
Would you like to enter this story for consideration in our sister sites:
- Leaves of Ink (www.leaves-of-ink.com)
- Linguistic Erosion (www.linguisticerosion.com)
Then type a little about you, a biography no longer than three lines.
Now insert your story here.
Proofread, then send to firstname.lastname@example.com
(Make sure to add this email address to your "whitelist" and check your spam folder in case our response ends up there.)
NOTE: Corrections and changes to the story made after its acceptance will not be taken. Please make sure the story you send is the story you want on the site. Stories accepted by Daily Love will stay on the site for as long as the site exists. Stories accepted by Daily Love will not be pulled from the site for any reason.
NOTE: Until 1/20/13, Daily Love was a daily magazine. The current model is centered around publishing good material as it comes, sometimes daily.
Here's the legal stuff: When your story gets accepted, you are giving Daily Love first electronic publication rights and non-exclusive subsequent publication rights. This means that we get to be the first to publish your story, and then, after it has been put up on the website, we can stick it in a printed book or on a flyer or something like that, as long as we give you credit. We don't own your story, however– after it appears on the front page of Daily Love, you are free to sell it for millions of dollars, cut a deal with a movie producer, expand it into a book, enter it into your own or someone else's anthology or anything else all without needing our approval– as long as you remember to tell any potential buyers that they are buying your story as a non-exclusive piece.
In order to avoid complications, we're only accepting work which you previously haven't sold or given away the rights to. That means your work must not have been published elsewhere, either in print or on the web. Please avoid simultaneous submissions.

I really don't know if the meds im taking now (Lexapro and Clonazepam) are going to work for me in the long run or at all. All I can do is hope that they will and help me lead a normal life.
I've been hearing some people say that they're on lots of different meds and that some don't work for them. Im not a lab rat and neither are they. I can't help but feel sorry for them and what they're going through.
I have found that Tegretol (clonazepam) is useful with my seizures, but not my anxiety. (it is spose to help anxiety). But then again you are talking to someone who can take the max dose of librium or valium & STILL be nervous. I am due at a new head dr next week & ABSOLUTLY not looking forward to it. I know that this one in particular, will want to change my meds. She does not believe in benzos. Going to neurologist wed & will ask him to cut out the dilantin & just valium from here on out for seizures. Works better with less side effects for me. I can get the valium from him.
But yeah here is another nearing 40 constant lab rat! ~ Geez , wishing you better luck than I had. ~ Peace, Shanna

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jonas Hiller and Anaheim's grinders upstaged the Ducks' high-powered top line.
At some point the trio of Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry will get going statistically, but it was Hiller and the fourth line's turn to shine on Friday night. Hiller made 31 saves for his 12th career shutout and made rookie center Maxime Macenauer's first NHL goal stand up as Anaheim defeated San Jose 1-0 to thrill the sellout crowd of 17,243 that filled the Honda Center for the Ducks' home opener.
Hiller helped Anaheim killed four San Jose penalties, including one late in the third period, and made a spectacular glove save on Joe Pavelski in the first period that set the tone for a defensive battle between the Pacific Division rivals.
The shutout came three games into a new season after vertigo symptoms ended Hiller's 2010-11 season in February.
Asked if it was a statement game, Hiller said, "I want to make a statement every night. It always nice to get these kinds of games. I feel good out there. Goaltending is a lot about confidence. It's easier to be able to start with these kinds of games."
The Pavelski save was impressive and pivotal. The San Jose center danced around defenseman Toni Lydman and lifted a high shot that Hiller gloved.
"He kind of got by Tony and I just wanted to challenge him for the shot because I thought he had room to move," Hiller said. "I definitely think it was an important one at that time. Shortly after we were able to score."
Anaheim also survived a 6-on-5 skating advantage in the final minute after the Sharks pulled goaltender Thomas Greiss.
The victory came at a price as Ducks lost winger Jason Blake, who left the game in the third period with a "severe cut" on his left forearm and was taken to a local hospital, according to Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle.
Though the Ducks are 2-1-0, Anaheim's top line is scoreless in three games -- the three non-shootout goals so far this season have come from their third and fourth lines and defenseman Nate Guenin. Anaheim lost 4-1 to Buffalo on Friday and beat the New York Rangers 2-1 in a shootout on Saturday as part of the Compuware NHL Premiere series in Europe.
The Ducks fell to 0 for 13 on the power play for the season after an 0 for 2 performance Friday.
"What's particularly concerning for us is that we're not getting enough scoring," Carlyle said.
"Our big guys aren't scoring. Our power play hasn't delivered a goal yet. All of those things are the little game within the game.
"Tonight I thought our defensive side of it won us the hockey game. I don't know if you can play 82 games that way, but it's nice to be able to rely on that early in the season."
The Ducks got on the board at 13:59 of the first period when they won a matchup of the fourth lines.
Macenauer banged in a pass from George Parros in the crease to finish off a terrific play by the trio. Macenauer won a faceoff in Anaheim's end, and Brandon McMillan worked it to the corner for Parros behind the goal line.
"It's always a lift when those guys can contribute," Carlyle said. "They executed it to a tee and they found a way to push it over the line. Who would have thought that that would have been the difference in the hockey game?"
Macenauer was one of the last players cut in Anaheim's training camp last year but he earned a starting job this time with his two-way play, speed and ability to play on the penalty killing unit.
"He's a fast player," Parros said. "He can get around guys and get in on the forecheck, and he's got a touch around the net, obviously. Hopefully we can get him the puck more."
San Jose had a chance to tie it late when Ryane Clowe was open in front but hit the right side of the net.
"It (the puck) was bouncing," Clowe said. "Obviously if I get that on net, it's in. A lot of missed opportunities tonight."
Both the Ducks and the Sharks, who hadn't played since beating Phoenix 6-3 in its opener last Saturday, looked rusty in the early going.
The Ducks didn't record a shot on goal until midway through the first period and were outshot , 11-4, in the first 20 minutes. San Jose couldn't convert two early power plays as Andrew Desjardins drew a pair of penalties.
"We didn't have the legs like we did against Phoenix," Clowe said. "Tonight we were kind of fading off and turned our back to the puck. They were kind of 'hope plays,' hoping the puck will get to you instead of knowing you have to work.
"It's a good lesson for us. We get to play them Monday (at HP Pavilion), so it's a good chance for us to improve."
Lydman made his season debut and was promptly called on to defend the Sharks' big line. Despite the Pavelski misplay, Lydman played a solid 20:03 and flattened center Joe Thornton in the second period.
San Jose was without Martin Havlat, who has yet to make his Sharks debut as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.
The Sharks also had goalie Antti Niemi available as the backup to Greiss. Niemi is expected to make his season debut Saturday or Monday when he is fully recovered from having a cyst removed from his knee.
It was a disappointing outcome for the Sharks after their dynamic showing on opening night.
"I didn't think our team was particularly sharp," said coach Todd McLellan, whose team flew home for a Saturday night game against St. Louis. "I thought we bobbled a lot of pucks -- it showed up on the power play, where the passing was off and the shot selection wasn't real good. We've got some work to do, and it's a good thing we play right away again tomorrow."

sharing news and views from Crouch End and Hornsey
I saw the tape this morning. Possible lines of inquiry to determine whether this club should be investigated further include
Hornsey Councillors email@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com;
The sergean responsible for our Safer Neighbourhood email@example.com
And haringey licensing department email@example.com
I will not be around to formulate a proper question to these people, but perhaps it could be as simple as "What will trigger a review of the licence conditions at BG Max?"
do you know what kind of place it is and who is going there?
The owner is quoted as saying "Normally we have one bouncer for 60 people and that night we had 80 people and five bouncers.
"If people want to fight they will, and even if you take them out they will continue and then it's the police's turn.
"I've got an appointment with the council next week; it's not our fault to be honest - it happens in every club, in every borough." which seems nihilist and irresponsible - I'd disbar him from having a licence on the basis of this quote alone.
This Facebook page suggests that clientele form all over the Balkans are invited on the basis that "BALKANS COUNTRY WE ALL FRIENDS!" My knowledge of Balkan relationships is hazy, but I think the "!" indicates a certain irony.
This facebook event is set out in Cyrillic script and a language that is not English - so it would appear to cater for an expat community. The youtube video (presumably the interior of BG Max) paints a picture of a calm, jolly sober establishment.

Top student wins stock market challenge
On Tuesday, Oct. 11 in the Gould Trading Floor, a representative from Disnat/Desjardins awarded prizes to the winners of the challenge.
The grand prize winner was third-year commerce student Niroshan Arumugam, who received $500 for achieving the largest portfolio value and cash gain using imaginary cash. Niroshan took an initial 'pot' of $50,000 and by the end of the contest grew this to more than $200,000. That rate of return greatly impressed the Disnat officials who sponsored the contest. Arumugam was the winner of the month for July, August and September, receiving $150 each month. The June winner was Kate Morrissey.
During the challenge, which began in May, students tested their investment prowess against that of their professors, DeGroote staff and alumni. Special guest investor, Felix the Cat, challenged the students by making random stock investments.
The prizes were sponsored by Disnat, a division of Desjardins Securities, the brokerage arm of the Desjardins Group.
George Papayiannis, a McMaster software engineering and management student, developed the simulation. The web platform is now available free online and is being used in stock challenges across North America.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Democratic state Rep. Naomi Gonzalez was charged with drunk driving Thursday following an early morning downtown accident that sent her and a bicyclist to a hospital, authorities said.
The El Paso lawmaker rear-ended her BMW into a car that then struck a bicyclist around 2 a.m., Austin police spokesman Jermaine Kilgore said. Authorities believe neither had life-threatening injuries.
Gonzalez, 34, was booked into Travis County jail on charges of driving while intoxicated. Jail records indicate bond was set at $5,000 and that she had been released as of Thursday afternoon.
Kilgore said Gonzalez received a blood draw and did not immediately have access to her recorded blood-alcohol level.
Aides at her Capitol office declined to immediately comment.
Gonzalez first was elected in 2010 and serves on a House ethics committee. She is a rising Democrat in the Texas House who was named freshman of the year by the Mexican-American Legislative Caucus last session.
Gonzalez is an attorney who formerly worked in the domestic violence unit of the El Paso County attorney's office, according to her campaign website.
Glenn "Butch" Maya, chairman of the El Paso County Democratic Party, said Gonzalez is innocent until proven guilty and he is waiting to speak to her to find out what happened.
"Any of us can go out and participate in partying, have a good time, but we have to take responsibility for our own actions, especially people who have been elected. We answer to a higher standard," he added.
Associated Press writer Juan Carlos Llorca contributed to this story from El Paso.

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
An anklet, also called ankle chain or ankle bracelet, is an ornament worn around the ankle. Barefoot anklets and toe rings historically have been worn for centuries by girls and women in India. They have also been worn by Egyptian women since predynastic times. In the United States both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are popular among barefoot women. Formal anklets (of silver, gold, or beads) are used by some women as fashion jewellery.[citation needed] Anklets are an important piece of jewellery in Indian marriages worn along with saris.
Much more rarely, an ankle chain is joined by a stretch of chain to limit the step. This practice was once more prevalent in the South East Asia, where the effect was to give a 'feminine' short tripping step. Today a few western women follow this practice, but rarely in public. Very few people even have 'permanent', e.g. soldered-on, ankle chains, and more rarely still, so is the connecting chain.
Contents |
History [edit]
Egypt [edit]
Anklets were worn as an everyday ornament by Egyptian women of all social classes in ancient Egypt from as early as predynastic times. The name for anklets was not much different from that of bracelets being menefret (mnfrt) except by adding a phrase to denote connection to the feet. They were made of different metals and in multiple shapes, with more expensive metals like gold being more common among the rich, while less expensive ones like silver and iron more common among lower social classes. During the fourth, fifth, and sixth dynasties, anklets were usually made of beads threaded in several rows held together with spacer-bars. Anklets were also worn by dancers like those shown in the tombs of Kagemni, Ti, and Akh-hotp.[1]
In the early twentieth century, anklets were commonly worn by Egyptian women of inner cities. They were called kholkhal (pl. khalakheel) and were most classically worn by women of Alexandria, along with a classic traditional dress covered by a one-piece black cloth called melaya leff.
Today, anklets are not commonly worn by Egyptian women in public due to increased Islamic conservatism that has spread in Egypt where wearing anklets in public is generally perceived as being immodest. Anklets are still commonly worn by dancers in public events.
Europe [edit]
Bronze anklets are visible as early as the Bronze Age in temperate Europe, in an area roughly along the Danube, in the Alpine foreland, up the Rhine to the Atlantic, and also down the Rhône (Sherratt, 2001). These were found among hoards in these areas, along with other bronze items characteristic of this time (c. 1800 BCE onwards), and are attributable to the Tumulus culture that spread across this region.
South Asia [edit]
A first-century CE epic of Tamil literature called Cilappatikaram ("The story of the anklet") dealt with a woman whose husband was killed while trying to sell one of her anklets to a dishonest goldsmith. The anklets are described in great detail in the poem.
Rajasthani women wear the heaviest type of anklets, they are silver and signify tribals adherence. The women wear this for costume jewelry but also to show their bravery as a tribe against other rival tribes. The fashion for heavy anklets is declining in India now but is still common in the rural areas.
The word jhangheer is a word for the anklet in Hindi and Punjabi. Jhangheer means chains. This is significant in that the anklet was a chain the woman wore in her marriage. Some of the anklets were heavy and difficult to walk in.
As an ornament [edit]
Anklets can be made of silver, gold, and other less precious metals as well as leather, plastic, nylon and other such materials. In the western world anklets or ankle chains are mainly worn by younger females, but some older women also wear them.
Metal anklets are of two types - flexible and inflexible. The flexible ones, often called paayal, pajeb or jhanjhar in India, are made by tying links in a chain. Subsequently, sonorous bells can be attached to the chain, so that the wearer can make pleasing sounds while walking. Inflexible ones are usually created by giving shape to a flat metal sheet.
The sound was also a reminder for people that there was a woman around, during the times of Purdah.
Salangai or Ghunghru [edit]
Salangai or Ghunghru are small bells that bharatnatyam, kathak, kuchipudi, and odissi dancers tie around their ankles.
Left or right? [edit]
In India and Nepal, anklets are worn on both ankles. However, outside India most anklets seem to be worn on the right ankle.[citation needed] Perhaps this is due to more people being right-handed. Although in eastern cultures, anklets are worn on both ankles. It is common practice in the cuckold community[2] and other lifestyle communities[which?] that the right ankle, being opposite of the left hand where the wedding ring is worn, indicates the female is married, but sexually available to other males.[citation needed] Most often the anklet is a simple gold chain but occasionally adorned with letters or symbols for example HW indicating Hotwife or queen of spades symbol indicating a preference for dark skinned male lovers. From the hippie culture of the 60s and more recent festival culture, anklets made from string, with beads or stones, or more decorative ornate designs are simply worn for adornment with no sexual connotation.
In scuba diving [edit]
Scuba divers sometimes wear lead anklets to stop a tendency for their legs to float up when diving in a drysuit.

Volunteers, Contractor Building Home For Veteran
Homes For Troops will outfit SSG Kelly Keck with a new home in Havre de Grace.
SSG Kelly Keck lost his right leg in Afghanistan.
In Havre de Grace, Keck is being given a home.
The Homes For Troops program is beginning a new home construction for Keck and his family at 3406 Old Level Road outside of Havre de Grace.
The construction starts Friday and will run through the weekend.
Portions of Old Level Road will be closed for the project. Volunteers can park at the Level Fire House.
The project will be lead by general contractor Bob Ward Companies, Inc., of Edgewood.
The new home will replace the Keck family's townhome, where SSG Keck struggles to maneuver in a wheelchair and to constantly go up and down the steps.
"You can't get a wheel chair in the house without getting off of it and carrying it," he said in a video included with this post.
The project will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The project will rely heavily on volunteers, who will assist the general contractor in the build-out. The hands-on work for volunteers will include "framing interior walls, installing windows, hanging doors, shingling the roof, and installing siding," according to an email from event organizers to volunteers.
"I was astonished on several aspects of the organization," Keck said in the video. "I was amazed to find out what they did and how well it was done. It's a magnificent home that is built with character, care and pride. I'm grateful."
More volunteers are needed for the project. To get involved, click here.
"It just shows, there's people out there that do care for veterans," he said. "I'm grateful."
TELL US: Are you getting involved? Leave a comment.
7:52 am on Friday, June 15, 2012
Absolutely I will be there. Havre de Grace knows how to support our troops and I will be looking for more from this wonderful community to be there. This is a National endeavor and we will be there for SSG Kelly Keck and the Building Brigade.

Awesome! Thank you to all who are helping this family!
5:24 pm on Sunday, June 17, 2012
What a fantastic weekend! We completed the three day Build Brigade in two days! The house now has a roof with shingles, siding, windows and doors. The Keck family is so nice and so grateful. I am so proud to participate in this effort!

Pre-made wooden plaque, decorative door, lettering in circles, doll house barrels; stickers, spray paint including textured spray paint for back wall, opaque paint pens, permanent ink black pen, decoupaged and in some places applied slovenly to imply blocks of stone cut roughly
What was your inspiration?
Doing a personal Christmas gift for my children's friend.
What are you most proud of?
I was able to display Johns's likes, as he approaches graduating from college and loosing his closest friends as all scatter.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Be aware of textures if doing similar subjects as mine. The 'block wall' was sprayed with textured spray paint and given extra decoupage to mimic stone or stucco, versus the smooth wooden door applications, etc. The overall project was 'tongue in cheek' and the subject was supposed to be like an old English castle door front and to me that 'read' as the following item.

If it relies on other people and with the fact (like so many others when they make discoveries) is now going away for 2 weeks, we can pretty much count this as no news IMHO.

/sarcasm And if you don't know who kakaroto is or what he has done then the jokes on you I guess. Now when he says he is going to work on this, I 100% believe in him. He has not given any false hopes/outlandish claims/reason to doubt. He has explained in full what can/cannot be done with this and also been very honest about not being able to do it all on his own. You have to respect an open dev who isn't just riding on the fame train, its very rare these days and its refreshing to see @kakaroto

Kakaroto isnt that that guy that became a Super Saiyan? derpderp

I am asking as a TOTAL noob:
does installing pkgs on 3.7x need the chain of trust to "let you in"? I hope you understand what I mean, 'cause I have no idea how to describe it better... :-( Because if so, and KaKaRoTo managed to bypass the chain of trust, then this would allow installing an pkg that could somehow "exploit" (REMINDER: me is N00B) some usefull things we need. dunno what we already have and what we still need to get this PS3 PWNED? or wouldn't it be possible that way? |

(Newser) – HBO horse racing series Luck was canceled in March after at least three horses died; now, a former American Humane Association exec is suing the network and the show's producer. Barbara Casey's lawsuit hits HBO and Stewart Productions for helping cover up alleged abuse of the horses, the Hollywood Reporter notes. Casey is also suing the AHA for wrongful termination in January. The AHA witnessed the show using drugged, underweight, and sick horses, but producers pushed the group to keep quiet to save cash and time, the lawsuit says.
"AHA bowed to political and financial pressure and refused to report the Production Defendants' conduct to the authorities," the suit says. When one horse died, AHA told staffers not to document it because it occurred during a summer break from shooting, the suit adds. Casey says she was fired over her opposition to the AHA's behavior. For its part, HBO says it "exceeded every safeguard" in caring for the horses.
