Six Questions with Brandon Warne
We are back with another Twins bloggers who has taken time to
answer some questions for us. Brandon
Warne writes about the Twins for the Hardball Review. In the
past, I have received several e-mails from Brandon and he has occasionally
participated in the Comments section. Again, I originally sent these questions
before the Twins/Rays trade, so I added a question at the end regarding that
trade. Of course, I sent that too early as the trade wasn't finalized yet, so
his response still counts Juan Rincon into the deal. But still, Brandon did a
nice job with these questions and you should check out his site.
SethSpeaks: You're the GM, what do you do about Johan Santana? To trade, or not to trade? If your answer is "To Trade",
what would it require in return to make it happen?
Brandon Warne: Honestly, I extend him. 7 years, 126
million dollars. This team is a reasonably productive (to throw out a
number, roughly .750 OPS in each spot would do) 3B, DH, and CF away from being
very, very relevant in the AL Central. Even filling those holes with
modest additions like Mike Lamb at 3B, Rocco Baldelli
at DH or CF, and maybe someone like Cliff Floyd, Luis Gonzalez, or perhaps my
favorite choice of all, Milton Bradley (who was an absolute stud offensively
last year) for the CF/DH spot that Baldelli wouldn't
fill would make us relevant. These are all guys that can produce .750 or
better OPS numbers, a far cry (as far as DH and 3B go) from the .562 put up by Punto (off the top of my head so don't quote me) and
whatever we got out of Tyner, Redmond, Cirillo and
co. at DH last year. You simply can't go shopping to directly replace
Torii Hunter. You can't afford to, and you don't need to (although if you
look at Bradley's stats, it's a reasonable scenario that he could easily
replicate at least Torii's career OPS of .793). Not only that, but the mentality that you should shop for HR and RBI is
silly. HR and RBI don't translate from park to park, from league to
league, and besides that, they're overpriced on the market. There are
plenty of bargains to be had on the market each year,
we just need to find ourselves a Dmitri Young, Matt Stairs, etc. type of
If, however, I do trade Santana, the package that entices me
most is to the Dodgers for Kemp, Kershaw, and LaRoche. Kemp
and LaRoche can step in immediately and provide
productive service at their respective spots (CF and 3B respectively) cheaply,
and Kershaw is probably the best pitching prospect of those that haven't seen
ML time. That's a fantastic trade for us, and might still allow us to
contend because we'd simply need a bat for the DH slot (for which I'd still
LOVE to see Milton Bradley play as he recuperates from his ACL injury).
SethSpeaks: The Twins have been hesitant in the past to trade young pitchers.
It sounds like that theory may be somewhat altered this offseason. Are there
any of the Twins young pitchers that you would call untouchable?
Brandon Warne: Liriano is
the lone one that I wouldn't trade for anyone, and I probably would object very
strongly to dealing anyone named Garza, Slowey,
Perkins, Baker, Manship, or Swarzak.
So I would troll the market with Bonser, Blackburn,
and Duensing, most likely. If any of them could
fetch Baldelli or better, and I think Bonser should be able to since he's probably worth more
than that to us, then I do it. Blackburn looks nice, as does Duensing, but in all reality they're probably 8-10th on our
totem pole as far as starting pitchers to go to. If Garza can net B.J.
Upton or someone like that, I'd have a hard time saying no. Anything of
value for Garrett Atkins is a big NO for me.
SethSpeaks: As of today, where would you rank the Twins in the AL Central?
Brandon Warne: 3rd. Better than the White Sox,
behind the Indians and Tigers. The Royals are making strides, too.
SethSpeaks: What would you consider the top three things that the Twins need
to do this offseason?
Brandon Warne: Settle the Santana situation.
Find starting CF/DH/3B. Long term extensions for Kubel/Cuddyer/Morneau.
SethSpeaks: On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that Bill Smith will
be able to do the things that the Twins need to compete?
Warne: So far he's talked a pretty big game, but until we see some
results I'm going to go with a cautiously optimistic 7.
SethSpeaks: Tell us a little about what you do on your blog, where we can find
it and what you write about during the offseason?
Brandon Warne:
I write at www.hardballreview.wordpress.com.
We are a Twins/Mariners blog, and I'm the lone Twins staff writer. The
main guy is a dude that went to the same schools (AFLBS in Plymouth,
Northwestern College in Roseville) I did, but a little earlier. One day
he was trolling around campus and happened into my room, saw the Baseball
Prospectus' on the shelves, and I don't think we've stopped talking baseball
since. He called me "the best Minnesota Twins baseball mind he'd
ever met". Yes, of course, he never met Gleeman or Stohs, but it's
still a nice consolation prize. I write about potential moves, and their
ramifications. Also, lately I've done an offseason preview, an update
(Monroe trade/interest in Tony Clark update), and I'm working on a "Johan
Santana/2B options" post that should be up in the next couple days.
If you'd like to
contact me, hit me up at email@example.com or brandonwarne52 on AIM if
you'd like. I'm always up for a Twins game (if you buy me a beer I'll pay
for parking) or to chat baseball, or whatever you got.
Take care and
God Bless
SethSpeaks: What are your
thoughts on the Twins and Rays trade (Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Juan
Rincon for Delmon Young, Brendan Harris and Jason Pridie)?
Warne: Well, the deal isn't final yet, but I absolutely love it.
This is a write off of Rincon's salary, and Harris is a superior offensive
player to Bartlett, so it comes down to Pridie and
Young for Garza, and I'll make that deal any day of the week. I would be
absolutely thrilled if this spurs a Santana extension, but I'm still not
opposed to loading up on prospects for Nathan and Santana and letting the kids
Either way, it's a step in the right direction.
Thank you to Brandon Warne and to all the readers for stopping by this site. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for future postings, please e-mail me.

RC Fishing Boat Does The Work For You
Ha, did my boss just catch me playing Solomon's Key on FireNes (note: version 1.1 is out so it may work now for those of you that were having problems) when I was supposed to be making a spreadsheet? Yes, yes he did. Anyway, some Japanese company is selling an RC fishing boat called KAMOME. It does all the work for you, so it's not even like you're fishing anymore, it's like you're driving an RC fishing boat. The 24 pound boat comes with a sonar system for spotting fish, GPS capabilities, and can catch fish up to about 4.5 pounds. The radio controller has a 5" LCD that displays the sonar and other ship data and has a range of about 1/3 of a mile. Unfortunately the damn thing costs over $5,000. So now instead of boring your friends with the story about "the one that got away", you can tell them the one about the Geekologie Writer sinking your $5,000 RC fishing boat.

This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: tone, references, authoritativeness of translations. (December 2012) |
Bhagavan, also written Bhagwan or Bhagawan, from the Sanskrit nt-stem bhaga-vant- (nominative भगवान् Bhagavān) literally means "possessing fortune, prosperous" (from the noun bhaga, meaning "fortune, wealth", cognate to Slavic bog "god", Russian богатый (boga'ch) "wealthy"), and hence "illustrious, divine, venerable, holy", etc.[1]
In some traditions of Hinduism it is used to indicate the Supreme Being or Absolute Truth, but with specific reference to that Supreme Being as possessing a personality (a personal God).[2][3] This personal feature indicated in Bhagavan differentiates its usage from other similar terms[4] such as Brahman, the "Supreme Spirit" or "spirit", and thus, in this usage, Bhagavan is in many ways analogous to the general Christian conception of God.
Bhagavan used as a title of veneration is often translated as "Lord", as in "Bhagavan Rama", "Bhagavan Krishna", "Bhagavan Shiva", etc. In Buddhism and Jainism, Gautama Buddha, Mahavira and other Tirthankaras, Buddhas and bodhisattvas are also venerated with this title. The feminine of Bhagavat is Bhagawatī and is an epithet of Durga and other goddesses.
The title is also used by a number of contemporary spiritual teachers in India who claim to be Bhagavan or have realized impersonal Brahman.
In [bhagavad gita] it clearly stated that bhagavan is just the avatar of supreme lord in the earth in other words the avatars of supreme lord as being human is termed as Bhagavan.

The Bhagavata Purana (1.2.11) states the definition of Bhagavan to mean the supreme most being:
The Learned Know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramatma or Bhagavan.[a]
The Sanskrit word bhagavan is explained in the Vishnu Purana (6.5.74, Venkateshvara edition 1910) by the great authority, Parashara Muni, the father of Vyasa Deva, defines Bhagavan as one who possesses six opulences completely, as follows:
The Supreme Personality who possesses all riches, all strength, all fame, all beauty, all knowledge and all renunciation is called Bhagavan. There are many persons who are very rich, very powerful, very beautiful, very famous, very learned, and very much detached, but no one can claim that he possesses all riches, all strength, etc., entirely.[b]
Early epigraphical evidence[edit]
The Bhāgavat religion of early Hinduism is documented epigraphically from around 100 BCE, such as in the inscriptions of the Heliodorus pillar, in which Heliodorus, an Indo-Greek ambassador from Taxila to the court of a Sunga king, describes himself as a Bhagavata ("Heliodorena bhagavatena"):
This Garuda-standard of Vasudeva (Vishnu), the God of Gods
was erected here by the Bhagavata Heliodoros, the son of Dion, a man of Taxila, sent by the Great Greek (Yona) King Antialcidas, as ambassador to King Kasiputra Bhagabhadra, the Savior
son of the princess from Benares, in the fourteenth year of his reign."[c]
(Archaeological Survey of India, Annual Report (1908-1909))
In Buddhism[edit]
The word "Bhagava" is used many times to refer to the Buddha in the Pali suttas. The term "Bhagava" has been used in Pali Anussati or recollections as one of the terms that describes the "Tathagatha".
In the Buddha anussati, Bhagavan is defined the following way:
Iti pi so Bhagavā
Thus is Buddha,
- 1) Arahaṃ - deserving homage.
- 2) Sammā-sambuddho - perfectly awakened.
- 3) Vijjā-caraṇa sampanno - perfect in true knowledge and conduct.
- 4) Sugato - well gone (to Nibbana)
- 5) Lokavidū - knower of the worlds
- 6) Anuttaro purisa-damma-sārathi - incomparable leader (lit. charioteer) of persons to be tamed.
- 7) Satthā deva-manusānaṃ - teacher of gods and humans.
- 8) Buddho - awakened one.
- 9) Bhagavāti - Blessed One.
Sākamunisa bhagavato is recorded in the kharoshthi dedication of a vase placed in a Buddhist stupa by the Greek meridarch (civil governor of a province) named Theodorus (Tarn, p391):
- "Theudorena meridarkhena pratithavida ime sarira sakamunisa bhagavato bahu-jana-stitiye":
- "The meridarch Theodorus has enshrined relics of Lord Shakyamuni, for the welfare of the mass of the people"
- (Swāt relic vase inscription of the Meridarkh Theodoros [1])

Thanks for suggesting that documentary. I have free Showtime right now and watched it last night. Inspiring. They are exactly where I'd like my career to be. Interesting that there weren't any women included, though. I think we may have a tougher time being a character actor unless we stand out as different physically. Definitely thought-provoking.
We did. :) You've also worked with my wife, Rachel Paolucci, on a few porjects.
Thanks, Elena, that would be great!

11 Questions from the Community
What material is this tub made of?
What does rim holes mean?
It says that there are 7" center holes drilled to the rim of the tub but the last question answered says there are not holes drilled on the rim of the tub. Which is it? Also, if there are holes drilled on the rim...is there room for two more?
The ECUSADP60 with 7" spread holes can it use a deck mounted faucet? Do you have a chrome faucet without hand held sprayer?
Can the tub be purched without deck holes?
Do you make this model or longer model of this in cast iron?
I need further clarification on what the rim holes are used for. If I'm using a wall mouted faucett, what are the holes for? In onw of you answers, it was stated they are used for accessories. What accessories are you refering to?
what accessories are you refering to concerning the rim holes? I'm planning on using a wall mounted faucett.
Can I use Grohe Seabury 25 055 tub fillers with the 7 inch predrilled holes in this tub?
I would like to know two things. How deep is the tub to the overflow (water depth) and how long is the tub at the base (leg room)?
Is the apron at base of tub included with this tub?

West Chester Township's Memorial Day Parade will leave Union Day School at 10 a.m., May 28.
Organized by the West Chester Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7696, marchers are asked to gather in the school's north parking lot, 8735 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, at 9 a.m.
World War II veteran Wallace Schulze will serve as grand marshal of the parade. It will proceed down Cincinnati-Dayton, to West Chester Road to Brookside Cemetery.Beginning at 10 a.m., the West Chester Historical Society will begin reading names of the veterans buried in the cemetery. When that is completed and the parade arrives, a 45-minute service begins, said Micky Vidourek, of the VFW.
The service includes the playing of Taps and the Star Spangled Banner by the Lakota East and West bands. Ohio Board of Regents senior vice chancellor and former legislator Gary Cates will speak at the service. It will end with the Cincinnati Caledonian Pipes and Drums Band's rendition of Amazing Grace.

While not all Christians have respected freedom, the basic tenets of the Judeo-Christian tradition reinforce political, economic, and religious freedom. Individual rights, the equal value of every human being, sin, the need for limited government and a balance of powers—each of these branch from the Judeo-Christian tree.

Love Nissan GT-Rs? Then you most certainly would love the Tokyo Auto Salon. Featuring the latest tuning trends and most amazing race cars, much of the content on the show floor was GT-R related this year – although to be honest, the show is GT-R heavy every year.
On display were plenty of modified GT-Rs from tuners like Kansai Service, JUN and even Tommy Kaira. And let's not forget the race car content, with the outrageous Kondo Advan GT-R GT500 race car, as well as the Motul Autech GT-R (above), which won five of the eight races in Japan's Super GT series last year.
Check out all the GT-R hardware from this year's TAS below:

Take the road less traveled and enjoy a rocky road dessert found outside of your supermarket ice cream freezer. Start with a milk chocolate brownie cupcake, add more chocolate (in the form of mini chocolate chips), mini marshmallows, and chopped almonds and you've got a crowd-pleasing rocky road cupcake. To make it unforgettable, add a chocolate meringue frosting toasted with a culinary torch (or your broiler)!
Yield: 18 cupcakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk
½ cup mini marshmallows
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup almonds, loosely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized bowl.
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and milk until blended.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in marshmallows, chocolate chips, and almonds.
Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
Bake for twenty-five minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry.
Chocolate Meringue Frosting
2 egg whites
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
18 almonds, mini marshmallows, and chocolate pieces for decoration
Combine the egg whites and sugar in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
Set mixing bowl on top of a pot of boiling water.
Whisk until sugar has reached 110 F on a candy thermometer.
Remove mixing bowl from the pot and place on mixer.
Whisk for 10 minutes on medium speed using the whisk attachment.
Whisk on high speed for another five minutes (you should see stiff glossy peaks).
Whisk in cocoa powder until just integrated.
Spoon onto cupcakes.
Top each cupcake with an almond, marshmallow, and piece of chocolate.
Toast the meringue and marshmallow using a culinary torch or placing under your oven broiler for just a quick second. Make sure to not walk away as these will toast fast.

Another way to ice this would be to pull them out just as they are done and put a LARGE Marshmallow on top and put it under (low) broil till it toasts and melts down a bit.

Explore Minnesota Tourism Council Meeting Minutes, March 9, 2012
Release Date: Mar 09, 2012
Explore Minnesota Tourism Council Meeting Friday, March 9, 2012
Present: Fred Bobich, Bill Deef, Randy Gutzmann, Nancy Hanson, Denelle Hillard, Brad Jones, Deb Lloyd, Julie Lunning, Senator Tom Saxhaug, Ingrid Schneider, Kathy Silverthorn, John Valliere
EMT Staff: John Edman, Leann Kispert, Peggy Lindquist, Peggy Nasby, Colleen Tollefson
Guest: Dave Looby
Welcome/Introductions: Chair John Edman welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked attendees to introduce themselves.
Approval of December Meeting Minutes: Nancy Hanson moved to approve the minutes from the December 11th meeting as submitted. John Valliere seconded the motion. All Council members in attendance voted to approve the minutes as submitted.
2012 Tourism Conference: The 2012 conference was held in Rochester. Thank you to Brad Jones and the entire Rochester community for their hospitality. Approximately 300 attendees. The conference officially started at noon on Tuesday and ran through mid-afternoon on Wednesday. Several meetings and training opportunities were held prior to the conference and were very well attended. The awards banquet was shortened and did not include a separate entertainment venue; focus remained on awards. Comments from the Council on this year's conference:
- Conference felt more relaxed; more time to network
- Trade show seemed very well attended
- Stevie Ray did a great job
- The content and energy of the conference was great
Senator Klobuchar received one of the "Friend of Tourism" awards. She was not able to attend the conference, but provided a thank you message, which was shown to the Council.
The 2013 bid has not yet gone out for solicitation. EMT is requesting input from the Council on the 2013 Conference. Comments from the Council:
- There has not been one in the metro area for a few years.
- When held in the metro area, there is broader attendance; more of an opportunity for smaller organizations in the metro to participate in the conference without the expense of lodging.
- Lose people in the metro area if they go home in the evening.
- If in the metro, it needs to be specific to the downtown area, not the outskirts
- Must have entertainment that will keep the "locals" at the conference
- Metro area tends to have costly parking. That could be addressed in the bid process.
- Suggested to make conference bid only for meeting location and food; make available a list of hotels available nearby, downside is reduced opportunity for networking
- For future meetings, there are new facilities. These should be showcased as part of the conference
- If the goal is to spread the conference around the state, then the metro area is overdue.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Brad Jones to hold the 2013 Tourism Conference in the downtown metro area and the 2014 Tourism Conference north of the metro. Denelle Hillard seconded the motion. With no opposition from the members, the motion carried.
Public Policy Report: The pubic/policy committee met on February 8. Several agenda items were addressed at that meeting, including:
- Funding Request: EMT budget was reduced by $500,000 during the previous legislative session. EMT budget has dropped to 30th in the nation. Brad Jones has been meeting with Senate leadership. Proposed legislative action must be revenue neutral. Looking at reforming tax that is undesignated to designated (from hosting SuperBowl in 1992). Do not expect any activity this legislative session. Will need to hold meetings this summer and be ready for next session.
- Mall of America Expansion: While the Council supports the expansion of Mall of America, the public policy committee felt an actual resolution would open the door to numerous requests for resolutions of support for different types of projects.
- Vacation Home Rental: Four years ago, Explore Minnesota Tourism was asked to put together a task force to address this issue. A bill was amended this year by the Vacation Home Renters Association, exempting such properties from local and state zoning laws. The Public Policy Committee reviewed draft language proposed by the Vacation Home Rental Association. They felt the language and limits on local control were not consistent with the task force recommendations. Development of vacation home rentals in Minnesota remains a concern and an opportunity.
- Online travel taxes: Legislation was passed last year to tax online travel companies. Several questions remain on the interpretation/writing of this, particularly as it applies to local option lodging tax. There are four communities (Biwabik, Duluth, Minneapolis and Rochester) where local lodging tax comes through the Department of Revenue. Clarification in local option lodging tax needed in a future session.
- Invasive species: The Tourism industry needs to be involved in the communication on invasive species; the message needs to be delivered to travelers. The Tourism Center is involved in accessing the economic impact of invasive species. This issue involves the aquatic and terrestrial aspect.
- Fishing license fees: A series of new license fees is proposed to replenish depleted funds and to create more opportunities for recruitment and retention. DNR is currently evaluating a surcharge on fishing licenses for aquatic invasive species. Tourism industry wants to make sure the fee increases do not overly impose upon non-residents and that the invasive fees should be on the boating licenses, not fishing license fees.
- Expansion of Tourism Council: The bill to expand the Explore Minnesota Tourism Council was heard this week in the Government Operations Committee. Representative Howe is carrying the bill.
- Labor Day School Start: This continues to be a hot topic at the legislature. Council wants to maintain the post Labor Day school start. There is a new bill in the House that states schools can start whenever they choose, but cannot hold class the Thursday and Friday prior to Labor Day.
Following up to the Post Labor Day school start, the University of Minnesota Tourism Center will be doing some analytics. They recently reported some finding on the four-day vs. five-day school week: the four-day school week saw an increase in day trips and 4-5 day trips; there was no change in extended weekend vacations. This information can be found on the University of Minnesota Tourism Center website and will also be included in a future edition of the EMT Express.
This discussion needs to be broadened to look at year-round schools.
Senator Saxhaug provided these additional legislative updates:
- Vikings Stadium: Yesterday's bill was dropped in the Senate.
- Bonding bills for convention center/facilities in Rochester, Mankato and St. Cloud have been introduced. This provides economic development to the community and surrounding area. These are important steps to move the economy forward.
- Fishing licenses fees: Needs modest increase.
Branding Update: The Branding group met this week to discuss how organizations and agencies can work together to market the state as one. The common message is Minnesota is a place to work, live and play. A perception survey was completed in the fall of 2011. Four positioning statements were developed:
- Vibrant and Exciting
- Adventurous
- Quality of Life
- Natural Appeal
Key findings include that Minnesota is viewed as unique for its mix of sophisticated urban and outdoor activities, emphasizing a wide range of opportunities.
The three creative directions that the agency has come up with are:
- MINNESOTA. Do great things.
- MINNESOTA. Think Minnesota.
- MINNESOTA. More to Minnesota.
A new round of creative will be developed over the next month.
The approach should be a branded house or a house of brands.
Comments from the Council on the Branding initiative:
- Likes the branded house approach
- Agencies do not want to be dictated to change
- Is it possible to use a typeface for the word "Minnesota" for everyone to use
- Most likely, there is some strong brand equity with all the logos
- It is going to continue to evolve
- We see the example from Michigan with "Pure Michigan." That was a $90 million project that included significant marketing.
Grants/Coop Program Review: Approximately one year ago, the discussion was held on how grants fit into the mission of Explore Minnesota Tourism. A task force was created and looked at various options for the grants program. As a result, some changes and reductions were made to the program. How the program has changed from 2011 to 2012:
- Approximately one-half as many grants in 2012
- There is a smaller cap on requests. The cap is now set at $4,000.
- 95 organizations still participated
The industry task force suggested that some minor revisions be made to the program. After just one year with the changes, it is too early to make significant changes again or to evaluate impact of current changes.
The Council would like to address again at the June meeting if Explore Minnesota Tourism's budget changes as a result of this legislative session.
PedalMN Campaign: The biking campaign continues to move forward. The goal is to promote health, travel and bike safety. To date, $325,000 has been committed by state agencies to develop biking. Health Partners has also signed on as a cornerstone partner. Working to develop website (www.pedalmn.com) and consumer marketing; website to be launched in May.
Continue to reach out to possible partners for this campaign. Specific industry segments to meet with are banking, construction (road/trail) and food/hospitality. Also suggested that we look for a retail equipment partner. Council members suggested that Tourism contact Trek manufacturer and water/beverage/energy drink manufacturers.
2012 Advertising Plans: The spring/summer ad plan has been approved. Will continue to run the "Joe Mauer" commercials in Winnipeg, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Des Moines markets. Minnesota Broadcasters Association will air radio spots in Rochester, Duluth, Mankato and border cities. Minnesota musicians recorded the radio spots. Still pushing to move into the Chicago market. Working with Fox SportsNet on Twins ad buys.
The Facebook buy has been extremely successful and will continue. Will also do another "Spin to Win" sweepstakes. The winter sweepstakes brought in 12,000 consumers who chose to opt in to receive additional travel information.
Will run monthly banners and e-mails through the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press websites.
A return-on-investment study will be conducted on the spring/summer ad campaign.
Partnering with Minnesota Monthly to use their magazine content on our website and newsletter; this will provide out site with more information on dining, arts and entertainment.
Partnering with Anderson Race Management on the Explore Minnesota race challenge; this is a year-long partnership which will have runners sign up for eight races throughout the state.
We are a premiere partner with Minnesota Historical Society.
Will promote and work with Legacy Destination weekends.
Partnering with Minnesota Lynx.
Update on digital plans:
Beta testing began last week on our mobile website. Expect to go live around the first of April.
The mobile app for IPhones is out, but has not yet been marketed. The Android app came out approximately two weeks ago.
A complete rebuild of the industry site will be done. It will be the same platform as the consumer website. There is a large amount of content to migrate.
Usability testing will be done by web vendor to make the website more user-friendly.
The events for the PedalMN website will come from the exploreminnesota.com website.
Tourism Awareness Plans: U.S. Travel has produced a toolkit with many suggestions for National Travel and Tourism Week. A copy was distributed to the Council.
The 2012 Governor's Fishing Opener will be held in Waconia on May 11-12. There is already a strong media presence scheduled for the event.
The American Association of Museums annual meeting will be held in Minnesota in May. This association includes approximately 5,000 museums, zoos and aquariums. Museum Month is scheduled for the month of May. The Tourism Center is conducting research on the economic impact of museums.
Minnesota will host the Active America China Summit in May.
Explore Minnesota Tourism Council: New appointments to the Explore Minnesota Tourism Council have not yet been made. Council members whose term expired in January are: Fred Bobich (Chambers), Chuck Dougherty (B&B), Nancy Hanson (trails), Brad Jones (convention facilities), Julie Lunning (convention & visitors bureaus), Mark Novotny (resorts), Ted Siefert (counties), Kathy Silverthorn (southern region), Charles Skinner (lodging), Sam Thompson (tour operators) and John Valliere (golf).

STEM | News
Toshiba and the National Science Teachers Association have kicked off the 2013 ExploraVision Program. The annual student science competition, now in its 21st year, is open to K-12 students in the United States and Canada, offering prizes of up to $10,000. The competition is administered by the NSTA and underwritten by Toshiba.
In the ExploraVision competition, teams of two to four students (along with a coach and mentor) choose a technology that's currently in use and explore what the technology does and how it came about; then they imagine the possibilities of what that technology could be like in the future and what problems it could solve that it doesn't solve now.
To date, some 300,000 students have submitted projects to the competition. And, according to the organizers, some schools have even made the competition a part of their regular science curriculum.
"The key to cultivating and sustaining the next generation's interest in science, technology, engineering and math is to engage them in discovery and innovation," said Gerry Wheeler, interim executive director of the NSTA, in a prepared statement. "The ExploraVision program not only teaches important lessons about real science through critical-thinking and cooperative learning, it provides an excellent way to spark the imagination of students in the STEM disciplines."
This year's competition differs somewhat from past competitions, bringing changes that are designed to align it "more closely with the National Research Council's (NRC) Framework for K-12 Science Education, which will help define science education for the next 20 years and become a foundation for the development of the Next Generation Science Standards." Some of those changes include:
Students will compete in one of four groups: primary (K-3), upper elementary (4-6), middle level (7-9), and high school (10-12). (Younger students can participate in groups one level above their actual grade level.)
There are two phases in the competition. In the first phase, 24 teams will be named regional winners and advance to the second phase. First-phase winners are chosen in each of the designated regions in which the competition takes place. Winners from the first phase receive a gift and win a Toshiba laptop and software for their schools.
In the second phase, teams create a Web site showcasing their projects. Judges then choose eight winning national teams. Members of the four first-place teams each receive a $10,000 savings bond. Second-place winners receive a $5,000 savings bond. All eight finalists will receive a trip to the ExploraVision Awards Weekend in Washington, DC in June. Students from each of the 24 regional winners will receive a Toshiba Camileo camcorder and an awards ceremony to be held at their school, as well as other gifts.
In addition, the teacher who submits the most eligible projects in a given category will receive a Toshiba tablet, while the school submitting the most projects will receive $1,000 in Toshiba gear.
Entries for the competition are due Jan. 31, 2013. Complete details and entry materials can be found at exploravision.org.

Wendy Rodriguez, an eleventh-grader at Eastside High School, admires some of the jewelry offered at the Newton Medical Center Auxiliary's Huge $6 Sale. The Auxiliary sale continues through today, offering hundreds of name brand products for men, women, boys and girls, including fashion jewelry, watches, rings, reading and sunglasses, totes and more. The event, which takes place in the main lobby from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., is a fundraising effort for the Auxiliary. Rodriguez, who serves as a teen volunteer in the Birth Care Center as part of a youth apprenticeship program at EHS, had some time after volunteering Monday for a little shopping.

Unnecessary inconvenience and compensation within the party wall legislation

Examines the obligations to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and to pay compensation for loss or damage within the Party Wall, etc. Act 1996. Considers the argument that the two obligations are directly related. Demonstrates that the obligation to pay compensation only relates to work lawfully undertaken under the Act and that the obligation to avoid unnecessary inconvenience exists to define the limits of such work. Concludes that the two obligations are separate but complementary aspects of the statutory code and that no direct relationship exists between the two.

Response to: GPL?
The GPL license was a decision taken by my boss, not by me.
Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.
2005-10-13 06:27:07 BobWhite [View]
LGPL allows commercial use without authorization though you have to read and reread to get that from the license text.
FreeBSD license has more clear language and serves to basically disclaim all liabilities and prevent redistribution as your own source code.
Code like this is more of a book tutorial and not really a complete software package or even a library. It should have been put under LGPL.
Copy, paste, and modify, and you really won't know the difference in an obfuscated jar.
Licensing of the source under GPL was not really appropiate since it acts as a patent for general knowledge--which can be probably be legally argued. -
2012-12-16 12:30:44 peter.penzov [View]
I would like to use the source code in GPL project. Is this code still supported?

Illustration: Istvan Banyai Michelle and I met for coffee not long after her youngest child headed off to college. She said she'd been roaming around her empty nest, assembling care packages for her kids, ironing her husband's socks. I clucked sympathetically and reached for my iced coffee when Michelle beat me to it. She reached across the table, grabbed my glass, lifted it a couple of inches, and handed it to me. A few minutes later, she did it again. Then again. After the third time, I said, "Um, Michelle, could you not do that?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said—and reached across the table to hand me my glass again. Then the two of us laughed, as friends will when one of them appears to be possessed, because we both knew what was happening. Michelle had entered a zone we call overhelping. I know that I do the same thing when I'm stressed-out or upset. Maybe you do, too. We get stuck in help mode, draining our own energy, annoying friends, creating weakness and dependency in family members. If this complex sounds all too familiar to you, the following information may be, uh, helpful. Variant #1: Hormonal HelpfulnessMy friend Michelle began ironing socks and treating me like a toddler because taking care of other people, while taxing, eased her anxiety like a hit of opium. Literally. When my first baby was born, I knew my body would start secreting oxytocin, which stimulates lactation. This seemed weird but logical. What I hadn't expected was the number oxytocin would do on my emotions. I was desperate to feed, pat, carry, diaper, caress, and rock anything that seemed to need help—my baby, certainly, but also my hamster, my local TV news anchorperson, and my broken toaster. When I wasn't doing something helpful, I'd get almost frantic. These reactions probably evolved so that mothers would care for their babies even at risk to themselves. But all women, not just mothers, secrete oxytocin under pressure. For decades, the famous fight-or-flight response (mediated by hormones like adrenaline) was primarily studied in men. Only in the past six years have researchers found that in women the fight-or-flight response is tempered by a rush of oxytocin, the "tend and befriend" hormone. When things go wrong, we may fight or flee, but also feel strong urges to support and comfort others. When we actually can help, by rocking the baby, cheering a friend, fixing the ailing toaster, we get a hit of "endogenous opioids," internally produced chemicals that affect our brains like opium. These create a fine, floaty, glowy feeling, one of the main reasons I enjoy being a girl. It's also why I do life coaching (I get paid to get high!), and why Michelle couldn't stop picking up my 12-ounce glass of coffee. Both of us like to self-medicate with the helper hormone. The Fix: Turning Helper Hormones on Yourself Therapists and self-help books constantly advise us to get manicures, pedicures, massages, and spa treatments. This advice has a solid biological basis. Any nurturing we direct toward ourselves, especially if it involves physical touch, triggers the same endogenous-opioid surge we get from doing things for others. If you're a hormonal overhelper, schedule a foot rub from a reflexologist, lure your mate into bed, pet the cat until it purrs in your lap. Get touched. Be especially diligent about this in times of stress. Overhelpers may offer assistance to get a "fix" when they themselves need comfort. This is a quick trip to exhaustion and resentment. The next time you're upset, instead of focusing on trying to help others, pat your own hand and tell yourself kind things ("It's okay, sweetie, the hamster doesn't hate you. He bit you only because he didn't need you to diaper him"). The more you place your full attention on giving yourself comfort, the less you'll help others who don't want it.

Material is flimsy; feels like the seams will rip if I stretch it in the wrong direction! Unfortunately I was on holidays when it arrived and the month return policy was over by the time I tried this on.Expensive for such a disappointing garment.

My previous attempt to write a review was obviously thought to be too negative. I will tone it down, but I think your shoppers should get the honest views of others. OK:PROS: The print on both is very lovely, especially the red. Very festive and great for summer. For tall gals this is a good legth for a tunic paired with crop pants or leggings.CONS: The cotton fabric is very flimsy. I don't think it will last very many washings. It is so flimsy as to be see-though in the sun or indoor lighting. Alas, the dress is not lined. All in all I would consider it to be a one season item only. That is, once the season is over it is ready for the bin. The price point is way too high for the (lack of)) quality of this item and other Orange items, which are more reasonably priced.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This inspiring and fascinating memoir, subtitled, "The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist," The Long Loneliness is the late Dorothy Days compelling autobiographical testament to her life of social activism and her spiritual pilgrimage. A founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and longtime associate of Peter Maurin, Dorothy Day was eulogized in the New York Times as, "a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality." The Long Loneliness recounts her remarkable journey from the About the Author"Dorothy Day, is a modern Catholic saint in the tradition of St. Francis. Her book is an absorbingly well-written series of pictures of her work and that of those she has gathered around her connection with the Catholic Worker, its hospitality house and its community farm. I rejoice with the new hope for mankind because of the kind of work that she and her associates are doing."- Norman Thomas

Consolidating your remote devices is now a reality using either your Galaxy smartphone or Galaxy Tab; and it isn't just for your television either. Thanks to the AllShare Control app, you can control your Samsung TV, Samsung Air Conditioners and PC easily when connected to the same wireless router.
The Samsung AllShare Control app enables you to control certain Wi-Fi enabled Samsung TV models using your Samsung Galaxy device. This means you can control all of your TV's settings, such as ON/OFF function, channel navigation and volume control from the same Samsung device you already know and love.
The four-way directional pad makes it a breeze to easily navigate your apps, and the on-screen standard (QWERTY) keyboard allows you to input all of the necessary information for your TV's functions, controls and other Samsung Apps—right on the big screen.
What's more, the app gives you far greater control and functionality when using other TV apps as well. Stream movies instantly with the LOVEFiLM app and control your home entertainment settings for optimal viewing. Or surf through videos and content on Vimeo™ and YouTube™. Whatever you're in the mood for, you're in total control.
Samsung PCs: take control of the mouse, keyboard, quick launch, remote for Windows Media Player, remote for PowerPoint, and remote for windows size.
Samsung Air Conditioners: enjoy access to basic controls and status display.
Before you get started, be sure to check if this app will work with your particular Samsung products. All of Samsung's 2013 TV models are compatible with the AllShare Control app, while PCs with Windows OS and select air conditioning units are also compatible. For a complete list, please check the app's Android Market detail page.
Best of all, you don't need a degree in computer science to get started. Here are the basic steps you need to set up the Samsung AllShare Control app.
1. To begin, go to "Setup" on your Samsung TV's Menu and look for "Wireless Remote Control". (If you don't see this menu option, then it is likely that your TV is not compatible with this remote function.)
2. Then, simply connect your TV's LAN port to your wireless router using a standard Cat-5 cable. Or instead of using a wireless router, another option is to connect the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter to your TV's USB port.
3. Finally, make sure your phone line is connected to the wireless router.
That's all there is to it. Now you're ready to sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
If you're in the market for a new TV, it is important that you ask the sales representative if the model is designed for wireless remote capability. They can also help you determine if you have all of the proper cables to get you up and running in a flash.
Best of all, you can enjoy all of the many features of the AllShare Control app for the low, low price of absolutely free. To download, simply go to the Android™ Market and follow the easy instructions.
Simply visit Samsung Apps and download a new and smarter way of living.
