Meeting professionals face it at every meeting: Those sessions that turn out to be so wildly popular that the crowd is bigger than the fire marshal will allow in the room. Mitch Biersner, CMP, offers these three tips on how to handle potentially dangerous overcrowding at your conference.
When I was in charge of the session room monitor team at a former employer, we always had at least a few sessions with more demand than room capacity would allow. They were never the ones we expected, and we could always expect someone to object when they were not allowed in.
I actually had one attendee say, "I'm a lawyer, so let me see if I can get you to let me in." I chuckled and told her the answer would always be "no." After a friendly back-and-forth, the answer was, in fact, still "no." But it isn't always so cordial. I've had team members spat upon and one that was actually hit by an attendee. We had a session on Facebook for beginners (how to open an account, what a post is, etc.) that got so rough we had to turn it over to the facility's security team to handle.
Here are some of the best practices on crowd control I've learned from experience:
1. Communicate. State your session attendance policy in your advance registration materials, program books, and other handouts, and place signage on your policies throughout the event venue. Some examples of what to include might be: 1) No saving seats; 2) If it's closed, it's closed; 3) Staff decisions should be treated as final. We also placed signs outside every session door (some session rooms have more than one door). On one side they say, "The capacity for this session is X. Seated first come, first served. No saving seats," and on the back, "Session closed."
Make sure you, your staff, and your volunteers know the policy and will be able to communicate it consistently. Let attendees know that capacities are dictated by the fire marshal, and that they may, in fact, be smaller than what's posted due to staging, audiovisual equipment, etc. Explain that the event can be shut down for not complying with fire code. Advance education goes a long way in setting attendee expectations.
2. Record. Because we taped all of our sessions, we could replay the more popular ones later in a special "Replay Room" we had set up. Helpful hint: Make sure you also record the speaker's PowerPoint and other session materials. Don't zoom in so the speakers fill the entire screen. We learned this the hard way: When we replayed the Facebook session, the speakers in the video were referencing the screen, which the "Replay Room" attendees couldn't see. The attendees were angry because they felt we had failed them again. If you don't have the budget for this level of AV, get e-mail addresses so you can follow up afterwards with materials from the session they may have missed. One time we worked with a popular session's presenter to do a webinar following the event for those who missed the session.
3. Stand Firm. Once the session door is closed, it should stay closed. I kept track of what was happening on both sides of the door by having team members with two-way radios both inside and outside the room. Don't open it a crack to talk to a team member or even to see what's happening on the other side because once the door is opened, people will find a way to get inside. Trust that the team member inside the room knows best.
During the second year I did this, we had door monitors for each session room door, and we locked the doors from the outside. (Attendees were still able to exit in case of an emergency.) I learned the first year that if we didn't create one point of entry after we closed a session, people would try entering the secondary, unmanned doors after audience members left to go to the restroom, answer a cellphone, etc.
Another hint: Make sure to communicate your policy to your C-level staff—there can be no divas when it comes to safety. They need to understand that if a session is closed, even your CEO can't get in. If attendees see others, no matter who they are, getting into the room when they're told they can't get in, you'd better be ready to call in the National Guard.
Stand firm and provide alternatives. Develop a working relationship with the facility team and any and all security teams you have available. Coordinate who will respond to situations in advance, and know what your contingency plans are, and you'll be able to defuse potentially dangerous overcrowding before it becomes an issue.

I asked my friends on Facebook to use the "Political Compass" test and provide the results to a survey; the results of the Survey are shown below.
This post is to outline the gear that I have collected so far. Hardware: Software: The fun has begun. **Updated Again…** The very friendly support tech asked me to explain the issue, afterward he said that he would make sure I had a working version of Windows 7 by the end of our call. I cannot overstate the friendly nature of this person and how he worked to understand my issue and resolve it. 5 Stars for him. Anyway, he first says that we have to remove the registry flag that was causing the invalid product code error. This flag was set during installation when I tried to enter it during the setup process, but more about that in a minute. Once the flag was removed with the msdt application (support has to give you a code for this tool), I was asked to reboot. When the system came back up I was prompted to enter the product code I re-entered the code from the product package and it worked! After reboot to verify, everything was working without re-installing Windows XP. Here is the important lesson I learned from the tech support guy. Do NOT enter the product code during the initial installation process, just skip the dialog by leaving it blank and finish the installation. It is at this point where the registry flag is set if an existing windows installation is not present. If you skip it the activation system will not check for a previous install since it would have been wiped at this point. That's how you can install an upgrade version onto a blank or recently formatted hard drive. If I would have been told this the first time I called, the rest of what you see below would have never been written. Advice to Microsoft, give these instructions to your first level tech support. Never tell someone to reinstall XP to install Windows 7, that is just rude and frustrating for your customers. Now, I am off to see what I think about Windows 7. I hope the rough start is not a sign of things to come. WIN! **Original Post Below** Here is where the EPIC FAIL Windows 7 Upgrade begins… I read on the back of the box that for upgrading from XP I need to backup all of my files and settings, and then perform a 'clean install' and then re-install my stuff from before. Easy enough, and hey if I need to do a clean install, then a blank hard drive doesn't get any cleaner right? Nope, here is where the word 'clean' gets tricky. What the brilliant graphic designers for the box didn't mention is that Windows 7 wants to clean the disk for you, after it detects that XP is already on the system. Having a pretty hologram CD and a valid product key on the XP package won't save you here folks if you happen to 'clean' the disc with a full format before installing Windows 7. Trust me, I talked to 3 people at Microsoft support about this (hello hold times). You see, without already having XP Service Pack 3 on your system, there is nothing they can do to help me. F^#K (Frak) So, what does this mean to me as a consumer. I now, after already burning time to do my own version of a clean install and spending $200 on the 'upgrade', have to go back and start from scratch, by reinstalling XP and doing all of the system updates to Service Pack 3. I am not kidding… or joking… or even smiling at this point. If you have recently performed a complete re-installation of XP from disc, you already know about the massive time suck that I am about to engage in. Let's just say… "This is gonna take a while". And then, I will get the joy of reinstalling Windows 7 again after all that! Yea!!! (not really) I have learned a lesson the hard way, and I want to pass along some wisdom to all of you who might be planning to follow in my path of misery and time wastage. Advice to those considering the upgrade… please don't be smart and use your skills to prepare your hard drive for a 'clean install' by formatting it first. Or, if you decide that along with your fancy new Windows 7 Professional purchase, you should pick up a shiny new HDD to go with it, because your old one had not been upgraded in about 5 years. Don't you will be sad about things later as you reinstall XP. Advice to Microsoft, find a way to allow honest customers who waste their time and money on your new products to upgrade from existing product codes if they have a new blank hard disk or a recently formatted one. Forcing anyone to reinstall XP from scratch sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. This is not a difficult problem, just get the existing product code from XP and validate it, if it is good, then use it to activate the new Windows 7 with the product code from the new package. Then tell your customer that yes indeed there is help and of course the ranting post on bryanklein.com is out of date and that they will not need to reinstall XP from scratch. I mean seriously, how insane would that be right?… right?! (Note: this was written while using the initial non-activated install of Windows 7 Professional, just before I started the painstaking process of 'upgrading' to Windows 7 Professional.) So today I needed to filter a fairly giant csv file down to only the rows that contained certain values in either one or the other column. I wanted only the rows where "PL" was in the country column, OR the email address column had a value that ended with ".pl". So I made this little function in the last cell of each row : Then I filtered the new column that contained either TRUE or FALSE, by all the rows that were TRUE. And there you have it, a quick way to filter multiple columns by different logical operators with an OR Boolean operator. Of course this could easily be extended to make some very complex logical comparisons, but I will leave that up to you dear reader. We had a really great time last night with friends. We found a couple crowd favorites, and a couple that did not please the palette. Here is A Reason for Riesling - Wine Tasting Night - 9/11/10 (1149) (PDF) that shows the results of our tastings. I look forward to future events and more data. Doing some work on the new Thunderhead WordPress based site today, and decided to use the 'Events Calendar' plugin to manage all of the upcoming events that we are either interested in promoting or will be going to. Anyway… I was using the sidebar widget that lists the events in a unordered list and found that the styles in the plugin and the way the list is built made the list look very different from the rest of my theme. The main culprit being the part where the list is built in the ec_calendar.class.php file of the plugin. Randy McDermott created a Google Moderator series with an 'Ideas' topic to collect feedback of suggested areas of future development for FDS and votes on these ideas from the FDS-SMV user community. This is a great way to collect suggestions and to get a feeling for how these suggestions rate among users. Randy later asked me how to get data from moderator for post processing. Unfortunately, there is not a straightforward way to do that directly through the moderator admin interface. But fortunately, there is a Moderator API that can be used to extract information from Moderator in JSON format. Yea! So I am kind of interested in what this new feature has to offer… This is a short demo video of the new immersed boundary method (IBM) that is being developed in FDS_6. The video shows a texture mapped 'baseball' sphere accelerating through air with a slight drop and a fixed rotation. This new method allows non-rectilinear geometry elements (&GEOM) to move through the computational domain. More information on IBM can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/randymcdermott/publications Here is the Input File to recreate this case yourself in FDS. You will need the file linked below and place it in 'FDS5\bin\textures' for the texture to map onto the sphere. Image File Link: Free Baseball Texture Map (1038) Enjoy! This is a demo using the new Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) of the upcoming version of FDS_6. The input file can be found on the FDS-SMV Discussion Group. http://groups.google.com/group/fds-smv/msg/3a43c731b8d6ae6b The video shows a 'BOX' moving through the domain, using the &GEOM namelist group feature. This is a fantastic addition to the features of FDS and I am looking forward to its full implementation. File Link: Moving Box Enjoy! I was looking to send out reminders to our customers about renewals and feature updates, when I realized there is not a 'Mail Merge' feature in Apple Mail (lame). So, after a quick Google search, I found this excellent post from Gianugo Rabellino. http://boldlyopen.com/2008/08/26/poor-mans-mail-merge-in-apple-mail/ Down a bit in the comments I found a slight modification to the script by Graham Kirby that added a couple of nice features. I am attaching a zip file to this post that contains the Apple Script and two files one for the name/email list and the other as a sample message text file. Hope this helps another Apple Mail user someday.
Here is an even better method…
Ok, so I tried to reinstall XP on my computer (see original post below) and could not do it due to my 2002 issued XP CD causing a BSOD during setup on my new machine. So, I could not reinstall XP to then install Windows 7 on top of, which was a blessing in disguise. This forced me to call back into MS support and because it was a different problem now I was elevated to the next level of tech support. Here is where it gets good.
So, I decided today to sell a little bit of my soul and 'Upgrade' to Windows 7 Professional from Windows XP.
As a happy OS X user in the office, and a satisfied Ubuntu Linux user at home, I decided that I should give Windows a try again on my home office workstation.
I went to Best Buy and sacrificed ~$200 for the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade package. This left a mark, but I am willing to take a gouge in my wallet now and again for the sake of 'Progress'. I have had Windows XP for over 10 years and skipped the whole Vista transition (gladly), so I felt it was time to re-familiarize myself with MS technologies and see what I am missing. ( I have learned in the few short hours since purchasing that I have only missed out on some suffering and time suck so far.)
We tasted 7 different bottles of Riesling and the only rule was that the bottle had to cost less than $20.

It was not a simple copy and paste from the comment text, so I fixed it and it works well now for me too.

Throughout that time place in it studio, the audio engineer is indispensable. This kind of person experienced and skilled people who've spent years learning their crafts in audio Fracture Compound Sing a Song engineering school and beyond. But what's the function in the audio engineer rather than producer?
The finest distinction is always that, because the producer, Fracture Compound Sing a Song along with the artists, confirms the way they need their music to appear, it may be the audio engineer to do this specific appear. With this particular, you need a larger technical expertise in comparison to producer. While both need a good ear, and imagination, for appear, the audio engineer knows how you can tweak the analog, digital, together with other recording parameters to exhibit the audio into that appear.
Music is an essential part of everyone's existence and covering all age brackets. Different Fracture Compound Sing a Song genres of music have various kinds of fans all over the world. Great deal of people are properly associated with various areas of music like making music, singing or dancing on music, creating remixes of old and evergreen music tunes, etc. Anybody mixed up in record companies certainly needs a audio mixing software which supports in creating beautiful music and making everyone loves it.
Audio Mixing software packages are an approach to an array of things associated with creating music. It can help in working with an array of problems mixed up in same. A very large plus which these software's carry might be the portability, i.e. they might be used anywhere in your house, at public venues, at occasions, etc therefore eliminating the irritation of prone to any recording studio again and again. The key factor which people applying this need to keep in mind is regular updates and upgrades in the software which supports to maintain while using busy record companies.

text: The city of Wilton is moving ahead with improvements to the water treatment plant. On the advice of H.R. Green, an engineering and technical consulting service, the Wilton City Council has accepted bids totaling more than $131,000 for improvements to the fluoride, chlorine and pressure filter equipment at the water plant. The vote was unanimous. According to Council minutes, city administrator Chris Ball told the Council it could approve all three improvements or pick and choose which ones it wanted. But he says all of the upgrades are needed for the plant, and it would benefit the facility to have all of them done now. No special financing is needed for the project. Ball says water department rates will cover much of the cost. Phil Roberts, KWPC News. |

As I drove home from work on Tuesday, I had an epiphany, or what passes as an epiphany for me. As I often do, I began crafting this column during my commute; I wanted to write about how our political discourse has devolved largely into little more than name-calling.
That is often the case. One Facebook friend regularly shares posts from a Facebook paged called "Too Informed To Vote Republican." I take that to mean no intelligent person would ever vote for a Republican. Another Facebook friend refers often to "low-information Obama voters." I take that to mean those voters back Obama and his policies because they don't know any better.
I grow weary of the insults and want no part of the name-calling. My friend Bill is a liberal, an unapologetic supporter of the entitlement state, including the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, as it's commonly known. Suffice it to say, Bill and I don't agree on much, but we don't call each other names.
That's partly because we're friends who respect one another, but it's also because we're not so arrogant as to insist that we're always right.
And that was my epiphany: Our default position is to dismiss people who disagree with us – to question their intelligence – because we're certain that we are right. And we must be right because all of the newspapers, websites and blogs we read agree with us.
Perhaps you can see where I'm headed here: Because we want to be certain in our convictions, we cherry-pick the sources of our informed opinions. Liberals watch MSNBC; conservatives watch Fox. Liberals read Paul Krugman; conservatives read Charles Krauthammer.
I'm as guilty as anyone. I read the opinion pages of The Wall Street Journal, not The New York Times; I read the columns of Krauthammer and George Will, not Krugman and Maureen Dowd.
But in the back of my mind, I think that, maybe, I could be wrong. Maybe government-run health care is the cure for what ails our health care system. I sometimes think too that if we don't have jobs for Americans, it won't much matter how cheap those Chinese imports are; no one here will be able to afford them.
I'm not about to renounce my conservative credentials or switch my party registration from Republican. But because it's possible that I'm not infallible, I refuse to pass judgment on people who think differently than I do. Besides, debating is much more fun than name-calling. Just ask my friend Bill.

SS. Fabian and Sebastian Suffrage Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves The Netherlands, Utrecht, ca. 1440 7 1/2 x 5 1/8 inches (192 x 130 mm) The pope and the soldier share a feast (January 20) and thus a miniature. Fabian, third-century pope and martyr, stands in attire appropriate to his pontifical office. Atop his head is a tiara surmounted by a cross, and his gloved hands grip a papal staff along with the sword of his martyrdom. Tied to a column next to him is Sebastian, a popular saint invoked against plague. The nude torso above his loincloth and bright crimson hose is pierced by many arrows, the result of his refusal to recant his Christian faith. In the border, and referring to Sebastian's torment, is a variety of archery equipment: longbows and crossbows, arrows and bolts, and the accompanying quivers and bolt bags. Note the curious double stringed longbow at the left: it has a woven hole in the string and an iron loop in the handle through which the arrow must travel. Purchased on the Belle da Costa Greene Fund with the assistance of the Fellows, 1963; MS M.917, pp. 252–253
Suffrages Suffrages are short prayers to individual saints. As protectors of medieval people, saints were their doctor in plague, their midwife at childbirth, their guardian when traveling, and their nurse during toothache. If the Virgin was the figure to whom one addressed the all-important petition for eternal salvation, it was from saints that one sought more basic or temporal kinds of help. While the Virgin became, as the Mother of God, almost a goddess herself, saints retained more of their humanity and thus their approachability.
Who Was Catherine of Cleves? Catherine of Cleves (1417–1476) is known for two things: her Book of Hours and her protracted political battle against her husband. In 1430 she married Arnold of Egmond (1410 –1473), becoming duchess of Guelders. Although she bore her husband six children, the marriage was not happy. By 1440 Catherine refused to live with him. War between husband and wife was sparked by Arnold's disinheriting his only living son, Adolf (1438–1477; rumor had it that Adolf accused his father of homosexuality). Catherine's siding with her son in the conflict led to anarchy. The cities of Nijmegen, Zutphen, and Arnhem supported Catherine and her son; Roermond sided with the duke. In 1465 mother and son imprisoned Arnold, forcing him to abdicate. Adolf, as duke, spent six years in ceaseless struggles with his father's supporters. In 1471 Catherine watched in horror as Arnold secured his freedom and regained his title while Adolf was imprisoned. Arnold died in 1473, disinheriting both wife and son. Catherine's death in 1476 robbed her seeing the release of her son. Adolf's liberty was short-lived; he died the next year.

VIEWBurberry was founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, a truly British heritage brand that focused on outerwear throughout its early years using gabardine and hardwearing water resistant yet breathable fabrics. In 1914, the British War Office commissioned Burberry to adapt its officer's coat to suit the conditions of contemporary warfare, resulting in the birth of the trench coat. Even today the trench coat is still a fixture in the current Burberry collections. Used as a lining for it trench coats the traditional Burberry check was introduced in the 1920s. In the early 1980s Burberry became a much sought after brand of choice for the soccer casuals movement and continued throughout the next decade being worn by members of Oasis and the Happy Mondays. It was later on that Burberry reinvented itself and brought in designer Chris Bailey who reshaped the company bringing a fresh feel and look across all product departments while still keeping the history of the brand at the forefront of the new format. Recently rebranded Burberry Brit is now on offer at John Anthony offering a wide selection of jackets, shirts, knitwear, polo shirts and accessories.

This competition was created by this Portland Oregon website as a battle between the 50 flagship commercial beers from each state. Well North Dakota does not have a full brewery operating within the state at the time of the competition so they asked some homebrewers.
Well Tom and Nancy sent in some bottles of Beaverbear Barleywine and Willamette Weekly got a panel of judges together and did a blind tasting scoring all 50 beers and the one on top, was Tom and Nancy's barleywine, beating out some very well known commercial beers from the other states. Minnesota's representative was Summit EPA and it got 39th place. Page1 Page2

Fred Pace, EDITOR
BLOOMINGROSE A meth lab was found in Bloomingrose last week with two young children in the home, according to police.
Robert Stamper, 35, of Charleston has been charged with operating a meth lab and two counts of child neglect.
State Police investigators went to a Bloomingrose address last week where they had information about a meth lab being operated.
Inside, they found two shake and bake meth labs and Stamper hiding in a closet, police reported.
According to court documents, Stamper was wanted in Kanawha County and knew we was going to find the lab.
Two children, ages 3 and 11 months old were taken from the home, according to police.

John Clare (13 July 1793 – 20 May 1864 / Northamptonshire / England)
John Clare was an English poet, the son of a farm labourer, who came to be known for his celebratory representations of the English countryside and his lamentation of its disruption. His poetry underwent a major re-evaluation in the late 20th century and he is often now considered to be among the most important 19th-century poets. His biographer Jonathan Bate states that Clare was "the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced. No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self".

Imogen c
his poems to me are only surpassed by shakespeare. i think that he is one of the very best english poets and the fact that he wasnt some weathly little snob who sat lazzaly scralling out his veiws on the world like alot of the classic english poets were makes him so much more importaint. he actualy experinced a bloody awfull life and it seems that it makes him more credable and more real i mean when he talks about suffering he realy knows what he is talking about he was a awsome guy and yeah
Tod Mcgrath
John was a living legend although I thought he herded animals better than he wrote poems but that just my opinion and am a big fan of his labouring background this guy was a living legend but ermm he died...... Ermmm yeh go john! and as im a keen cannibal i would love to have a bite ov him if he was still alive but now hes dead the meat doesnt taste as fresh...... TOD MCGRATH......
