In this sliver of time between the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards, the value of tying a brand to a popular sporting or cultural event has never been more clear. Brands that manage to successfully associate themselves with something that the masses share, be it a holiday, a trend, or some other occasion, reap the benefits of being timely and relevant. If they can make their message interactive, too, they'll leverage all that the event has to offer, from word-of-mouth to social cachet.
Valentine's Day doesn't typically generate much interest from advertisers beyond the candy and jewelry categories, but a few brands are hitching their wagon to the holiday with great success. Here are your top three Valentine's Day campaigns.
There's nothing romantic about Omega-3 Krill Oil supplements, and yet MegaRed's love-themed campaign, featuring the tagline, "Whose heart do you love?" manages to infuse its product with emotion. In addition to featuring Valentine's Day, February is also National Heart Health Month, and at the heart of this campaign is social sampling.
Through its Facebook page and a custom-made application, MegaRed is inviting users who Like the page to request a free sample both for themselves and for a beloved Facebook friend. To generate interest, the brand's ad agency created a short animated video and posted it on YouTube. MegaRed also tapped female celebrities to share the campaign through Twitter - likely an easy feat, given the tie-in to women's heart health (if the campaign "reaches 100,000 hearts," the brand's parent company will make a $100,000 donation to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease). Whether the brand will meet its goal remains to be seen, but interest in the campaign is strong so far.
A #Tweetheart of a Show
U.K. clothing and collectibles retailer Not on the High Street is hoping to drive additional product sales this year by bringing back its #TweetHeart Twitter campaign. By sending a tweet to the brand about someone special using the #TweetHeart hashtag or, alternatively, posting to the brand's Facebook page, participants could see their tweets turned into a customized show.
The campaign is decidedly local (in order to win, consumers must live in London), primarily due to logistics. The five winners will see the loved ones they mentioned in their posts receive an impromptu personal performance by musicians and artists, and Not on the High Street will record the shows wherever they happen to take place (at work, in a restaurant, at the park) to create "lasting, romantic mementos."
Although the brand decided to keep the campaign regional in spite of the fact that its site does ship internationally, Not on the High Street has found a way to engage those living outside the U.K. It will be posting the #TweetHeart-inspired videos on its e-commerce site starting on February 14.
Love Bug
Think your product doesn't lend itself to Valentine's Day advertising? Tell that to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which is bringing back its annual "Name a Roach" campaign. Promoted through its website and on the individual Facebook pages of the New York-based zoos it operates (the organization was formerly called the New York Zoological Society), the fundraiser invites consumers to name one of its thousands of Madagascar hissing cockroaches after a loved one in exchange for a $10 donation to the WCS.
Consumers are so accustomed to seeing traditional "hearts and flowers" Valentine's campaigns that a more unique initiative like this one is sure to make them sit up and take notice. It's also just the kind of thing they're apt to share. Because the WCS has ties to several zoos, many with Twitter pages of their own, it can extend its campaign reach to each zoo's individual audience of followers (@BronxZoosCobra alone has over 194,000 followers).
For brand marketers, holidays are about utilizing digital media's most desirable technologies - including video, communities, and social sharing - to boost interest in their products. If they can do it in a way that engages and entertains, it will be a very happy Valentine's Day indeed.

Well it's getting close to the hardwater season and I thought maybe I should get the to-do list for my ice gear started. I have a Clam 2000 I bought last year and I like everything about the Clam except for the ribbed plastic floor. So I bought some 1/4" luaun plywood and I am making inserts to cover the ridges. I got one of the inserts fitted in today, and will be doing the other one this weekend. Here are a couple different angles showing the difference with and without the plywood. No more dropping jigs and spikes, or minnows into ridges and no more wobbly chair or heater. The project isn't completed yet, these are just some preview pics of the mod. For this season I am going to use the pieces of carpet that came with the shanty and put them in place over the plywood using the original plastic lugs that held it in. I would have coated it with Thompson's but it's too cold to do that now. Next year I plan on coating it with a non-skid coating or doing the Thompson's with some fine sand sprinkled into it. After I get the second piece of plywood fitted, I'll post pics of the finished floor. I've also got some things to do to my homebuilt icesled. Come on ice!!
Posted By mr bill on 01 Dec 2010 09:27 AM nice work........how much weight did this project add to the shanty? and how do ya take it out on the ice?My best guesstimate is about 5 or 6 lbs, maybe a little more. I have a home-built sled I use to pull it out on the ice. Here is a pic of it out on Lake St. Clair last year.
Posted By rseltz on 01 Dec 2010 05:21 PM Man thats looks like a nice home when we going??? LOL, I did about the same thing with mine, yours looks better I hated those dam ribs, anyway good job but I am digging the sled that looks like it pulls like a dream and would go through fairly deep snow uninhibited, sorry if I miss spelled, to lazy to check, but there is nothing in the world I like more than walking out too the fishing spot on a nice crisp day (away from the taxies)....for us poor fools with no big boy toys....awesomeGreat job and thanks for sharing.

Sundays just don't get much better than yesterday. I started off the day with a greasy-spoon breakfast at the Steak Hut on Lafayette, where my friends and former band-mates Steve and James were playing an acoustic set of country classics… I even got to sit in on vocals on a few tunes. After that, I sat outside reading books in the record-breakingly warm sunshine. And to top it all off, I had dinner with the husband and friends at a pop-up German restaurant called Schnäck.
Our friends at Porktown Sausage set up Schnäck in Supino Pizza (temporarily closed while owner Dave Mancini takes a well-deserved vacation in Argentina), and it was just the right size for a first-time venture such as this. We got there shortly after it opened at 5pm and it was already over half full; it didn't take long for a wait to form at the door. But the small number of seats (about 30) and limited menu allowed them to manage the flow and keep from getting too slammed.
soup swap III: a porky good time
A couple weekends ago, the soup swap was brought back to life after a one-year hiatus. What were we thinking, skipping a year? I do not know. My only excuse is that we moved last January and at the time, I probably didn't think the house was "ready" to have people over. I can't say that it's that much more ready now- we still have a long way to go and the list of home improvement projects is long- but fortunately I've forced myself to get over it and lower my standards; otherwise, I'd never have any guests!
It's a well-known fact that a little pork can enhance just about any soup, and we found it amusing that everyone's soups, without specifically planning it that way, had pork in them. Michelle's was the meatiest, a pork and tomatillo stew with big chunks of tender, falling-apart meat. Kate brought a delicious split pea with bacon, perked up with the addition of fresh rosemary. Molly made a hearty chickpea and sausage soup with some Hungarian sausage she'd been gifted from a neighbor, and Sarah made a fantastic wonton soup with homemade, pork-filled dumplings.
venison root vegetable stew (the venison diaries, part V)
I started writing this post and realized- for once, I don't have a lot to say. But that's OK; the following is all you need to know: A small venison roast, some local root vegetables from the farmers' market, some homemade stock, and a weekend day with enough time for a long braise can yield the following:
I don't often get roasts from my dad, usually his venison is in burger form, so this was a first. I just treated it like I would any other tough cut of meat, braising it for a while in the stock at a low temp and then adding the vegetables later so they didn't cook to mush. The result wasn't earth-shattering. but it was homey, comforting and hearty, which was just what I was going for.
Venison Stew with Root Vegetables
printer-friendly version1 small venison roast (about 1.5 to 2 lbs)
a few Tbs bacon fat
2 cups stock, preferably homemade: beef, lamb or chicken will work (mine was actually turkey, leftover from Thanksgiving)
aromatics: a couple of bay leaves, some peppercorns, juniper berries, or a couple sprigs of rosemary or thyme would all work
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 large or 2 small parsnips, peeled & cut into chunks
5-6 small shallots, peeled & trimmed
4 small potatoes, scrubbed and cut in halves or quarters
1 celery stalk, trimmed & cut into ½-inch pieces
salt to tastePreheat oven to 225°. Warm the stock on the stove in a heavy lidded pot large enough to accommodate the meat. Rinse the venison and pat dry; lightly salt the meat and rub all over with the bacon fat. Add venison to pot, cover, and braise in the oven for 2 hours. You can turn the meat halfway through, but it's not strictly necessary. Meanwhile, prep the vegetables. After the initial 2 hours, lightly salt the vegetables, add to the pot, cover, and cook for another hour or until vegetables are tender.
If the meat comes easily off the bone, feel free to serve your roast as-is; if meat is a little tough, you can either braise a bit longer, or do what I did: Remove meat from pot until it cools enough to handle, remove from the bone and cut into bite-sized pieces; return to pot to warm through. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed. If desired, serve with chopped parsley as a garnish.
pumpkin chili with venison (the venison diaries, part IV)
Two winters ago, I wrote a series of blog posts all featuring ground venison, since I'd been given 6 pounds of it from my dad. According to my first post in the series, my plan was to write a different recipe for each of the 6 packages, but somehow I fell off after three. I can't recall what I did with the other 3 pounds, but I'm guessing it's pretty likely there was at least one batch of chili in there.
Chili is probably the most common dish made with ground venison- I suspect some people turn to it because the powerful seasonings can mask the venison's taste, but that hasn't been a problem for us since my dad's deer always taste great with no "off" or gamey flavors. We just make it because it's easy and we tend to have most of the ingredients on hand. However, I never really considered my usual chili (which consists primarily of chopping onions and garlic and opening a bunch of cans) to be worthy of writing down a recipe.
Folks, this batch is a different story. I did rely on a couple canned ingredients, and this is still squarely in the camp of weeknight fare (even with the experimentation factor and my own slow-pokiness, it only took me an hour and a half from start to finish) but the flavors are richer, deeper and, dare I say, more sophisticated than your run-of-the-mill chili. Marvin may have to make good on his mention of taking up hunting himself in order to keep us stocked with sufficient quantities of venison, because rather than quell my cravings, this just made me hungry for more.

chilindron (spanish stew) and a book event with hank shaw
This summer, Hank Shaw of the blog Hunter Angler Gardener Cook announced he was going on tour to support his new book Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast . Much like the tours organized by many of my friends in fledgling bands over the years, this was a DIY, couch-surfing, cross-country jaunt, with Hank scheduling the events himself sans (at least to my knowledge) the aid of his publisher. Curious to see if there was anything in the works for Detroit, I emailed him and offered to help out. We went back and forth a bit as far as what type of event it should be, and Hank suggested a potluck. Marvin generously offered up his studio in the Russell Industrial building as a gathering place. I had hoped Hank might be able to spend the afternoon prior to the event foraging around the area to bring in examples of things people could find locally,
but it didn't pan out that way- the weather was already getting a bit too cold to find many wild plants, and Hank had other plans for hunting woodcock up north.
I put the word out about the event, and was pretty pleased with the response, given that I've worked many, many book signings where only a small handful of people show up and even less actually purchase the book. We had about 20 in attendance and probably would've had more if not for the really nasty freezing rain that night. But despite the inclement weather, we had quite a spread: home-cured prosciutto, lardo and lonzino, a few kinds of homemade pickles, jams, and home-brewed spruce beer were some of the contributions, in keeping with the spirit of the evening (Hank covers many curing and preservation methods on his blog in addition to hunting and foraging). Not to mention this beautiful pie that my friend Abigail (one of les culinettes) brought!
I decided to make a recipe I'd recently seen on Hank's blog- a Spanish stew called chilindron, which I could make ahead and warm in the slow cooker. For side dishes, I put together a garlicky raw kale salad with pecorino, and a plateful of the nuptial ham. Last but not least, I was able to make paw paw ice cream thanks to a gift of some foraged paw paws courtesy of my friend Ian. I was super excited about this since I had never tried paw paw before. I wanted to do a full post just about the ice cream, but I didn't use a recipe and it turned out a little too icy and hard, although the flavor was good. If you ever get a chance to eat a paw paw, they're wonderful- the texture is sort of like mango but with none of the stringiness, and the flavor is delicately tropical and custardy. Some people compare it to banana but I didn't particularly get that. Paw paws do have large seeds that are somewhat obnoxious to work around to get all the fruit off, but the effort is well-rewarded. I can't believe I've lived my whole life in Michigan without trying one until now, and I'm definitely going to seek them out next year.
As folks filtered in for the event, the table grew heavy with food; I think I sampled everything at least twice (you know, not wanting anyone to feel slighted!). We decided to eat first, and then Hank talked for a while about what hunting means to him, sharing some stories of hyper-local meals and other hunting-related experiences. Afterward, he stayed signing books and chatting with guests before heading off to Slows for a beer. I'm not sure how he felt about the event- it was a much more modest affair than many of the fine-dining events he's been a part of- but the attendees were all thanking me profusely for putting it together, so I'm calling it a success. It was cool to be able to share something I've been a fan of for a while with a bunch of people who had never heard of it (I think maybe one or two people had been aware of Hank's blog prior to that night), and have them react so positively.

The last time the Blues and Los Angeles Kings met, on March 22, the score was 0-0 through overtime and had to be decided in a shootout.
[...]What the upcoming Blues-Los Angeles Western Conference semifinal series might lack in scoring, [...] the teams will make up in physicality. In [the season series], there were [...] 231 hits, with the Kings holding a slight edge (121-110).
"LA plays nasty … they play real nasty," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "To a man, they play with an edge. They follow the coach's orders and they finish all their checks. They don't swing away on anything. They play with a level of commitment to physical play that's going to be a challenge for any team. So we're first up."
[...] "I think the more physical team is going to win," Blues forward T.J. Oshie said. "Whoever plays the most physical the longest is going to get the job done." [...]Backes said[,] "(LA) played hard [in round one] every shift and they've got four lines that are willing to invest in the game. [...] [They're] in your zone and on your defense and make you make plays before you want to. [That creates] mistakes and offensive turnovers and transition. We just need to [...] get through their checking and know that you're going to get hit. [...][You've] got to keep going and not retaliate.
[...] "[When] they're making a push and hitting us we've got to fight through that, concentrate on [...] winning the game and the score, not necessarily the chess battle and who's tougher and who's stronger at the moment. [...]"Like the Blues, however, LA is more than just a physical team. The clubs finished Nos. 1-2 in the NHL in goals-against average during the regular season, with the Blues (1.89) edging the Kings (2.07). They are tied for the best GAA in the playoffs (1.60).
In three regular-season appearances, LA goalie Jonathan Quick had two shutouts against the Blues, allowing one goal on 95 shots for 0.33 GAA and .989 save percentage.
"He's very good [...]" said Blues forward Patrik Berglund [...]. "We're going to [have to] be in the way, so he can't see the puck."
Brian Elliott, who is 3-0 in the playoffs, will stay in net for the Blues. [...] Elliott's numbers against LA are as eye-popping as Quick's. In two appearances, he was 0-0-1 with a 0.71 GAA and .977 save percentage.
[...] Hitchcock pointed out that the Blues might have a slight advantage in that they have a few new names in their lineup. Andy McDonald [...] has not faced the Kings this season because of his concussion. David Perron and Alex Steen, for the same reason, have played in only two of the games."We've got a team that they've never seen before," Hitchcock said. "They have three lines exactly the same and we have all four different than the one that played (March 22), so I don't think they really know our hockey club until they play against us.[...]
"Someone tweeted that it's going to be the first game that's 0 to minus-1 … that's pretty creative," Backes said. "We like those types of games, that's our style. (But) we've got to be prepared. They took out the No. 1 seed and they've definitely got the firepower to keep on trucking in this thing."

As an Aussie, as long as you are not fucking said sheep before eating them, I believe that is acceptable.
He thought he was eating lots of lamb. He didn't know he was eating lots of horse meat!
I would worry first about cleaning up your butt. That should take of the smell.
Too little meat to bother with.

Yes of course you can get lamb here…lamb shanks, lamb chops…get the fancy stuff from Sunterra or just go to Safeway for a leg of lamb.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte.
When I said "here" I should point out "here" is midwest U.S.
Lamb is always available........just not affordable.......although as beef prices continue to climb lamb is looking like a somewhat better value.
Speaking of lamb........I'm going to have a rack of lamb at a nice restaurant soon.......gonna set me back $38 but I don't care........I can't wait.......

FAO projects that, under current production and consumption trends, global food production must increase 60% by 2050 in order to meet the demands of the growing world population. Yet, more than one third of the food produced today is lost or wasted. Food loss refers to the decrease in edible food mass at the production, post-harvest and processing stages of the food chain, mostly in developing countries. Food waste, a symptom of developed countries' consumeristic lifestyles, refers to the discard of foods at the retail and consumer levels. This food wastage represents a missed opportunity to food security and comes at a steep environmental price.
In avoiding food wastage, there is actually more that would be gained by its reduction than a mere reduction in its 'footprint'. For instance, more efficient systems that reduce either losses or waste would likely result in additionally reduced GHG emissions, in part directly, since wastage typically generates methane emissions during food disposal, as well as indirectly, given that reducing wastage may lead to critical redesign of supply chains and retail models, which may result in less energy use along the food chain, and thus associated GHG emissions. Generally, less wastage is associated with more efficiency and eventually more effective recycling of resources and less transport and storage needs across long distances - all leading to savings in natural capital, less resource use and lower GHG emissions. With regards increased food security, including availability, access and utilization, reducing wastage can also be achieved by reducing certain loss factors, for instance, by increasing local supplies in Least Developed Countries or by promoting programmes where the food saved from an otherwise waste pathway in retailing is specifically accounted for and used as food aid.
To date, no study has analyzed the environmental impact of global food wastage. FAO intends to produce the first global Food Wastage Footprint (FWF) in order to quantify the impact of the food grown, but not eaten - both loss and waste - on the environment and the economy, with a view to assist decision-making along the food chain.
The purpose of the FWF project to provide, as complete and accurate as possible, a picture of the environmental footprint of global food wastage, with a particular emphasis on impacts on soil, water, biodiversity, and climate change. The aim is to bring more precision to the debate on the environmental impacts of food wastage, by providing a more consistent knowledge base, which can be used to underpin future policy debate in this area (see Concept Note 1).
More specifically:
The second phase of the FWF project is currently defining methods for the economic valuation of environmental and social costs of food wastage. Forecast scenarios will detail how trimming wastage by given ratios would affect the current FWF and the estimated need to increase food production by 60% in 2050. The project will also analyze how specific food systems would need to be redesigned (marginally or drastically), depending on the wastage reduction targets and investments (see Concept Note 2).
An E-Forum on full-cost accounting of food wastage has been held from 21 October to 24 November 2013. Although 245 persons registered, discussions confirmed the methodological challenges involved in full-cost accounting. The FWF project is currently attempting to monetize the environmental impact of food wastage, but more expert knowledge is needed for a comprehensive FCA methodology. To this end, FAO will invite selected experts to a workshop in early 2014.
The ultimate objective of this project is to communicate that investments in food wastage reduction is the most logical step in the pursuit of sustainable production and consumption, including food security, climate change and other adverse environmental effects. To this end, public awareness materials targeting different stakeholders (e.g. consumers, companies, researchers, policy-makers) will be developed.

Sequim Dog Park Pals
Open discussion between board and users
St. Luke's Episcopal Church sanctuary
525 N. Fifth Ave., Sequim
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 13
More information:
Available at Sequim Dog Park:
Off-leash sections for small and large dogs
Trash cans, emptied daily
Sand for covering holes
Water faucet
Rumors have led some Sequim Dog Park users to believe the park would close.
Jeff Edwards, parks coordinator for the city of Sequim, said there are no such plans for the dog park in Carrie Blake Park, 202 Blake Ave.
A misunderstanding between the city and park users came up prior to the last Citizen's Park Advisory Board meeting. Edwards had sent a letter on Feb. 2, asking
Sequim Dog Park Pals chairman David Hannon to discuss an increase in users not cleaning up dog feces. He encouraged Hannon and volunteers to increase clean-up efforts.
Hannon began telling park users about the meeting and the importance of self-policing the park.
Some users misheard that the park would close and came to the meeting wanting answers.
"It's like the old post office game in grade school," Hannon said.
"You whisper something in someone's ear and it gets distorted.
"I was encouraging everyone to cooperate but I don't know how it got so out of proportion."
Dialogue even a dog can hear
By the end of the meeting, Edwards had made it clear that the park is not going to close.
"We have 1.5 full-time employees to manage 100 acres of parks," he told the Sequim Gazette.
"That's why we need volunteers to keep it maintained. It's needed and appreciated."
He asked attendees to sign up to volunteer officially in the park. Interest was high but so far only one person has turned in a finished form.
Hannon was surprised only one signed up but thinks there will be more volunteers following an open discussion meeting on April 13 between park users and Sequim Dog Park Pals' board of directors.
"I think it was a positive experience. It showed how concerned the dog park users are for the dog park," Hannon said about the meeting.
"Now (people) are talking more to each other about cleaning the park."
Hannon and most park users feel people are conscientious about picking up their dog's waste.
"I think if you talk to a majority of dog park users, they are doing a good job of self-policing," Hannon said.
"There are a few people who refuse and are belligerent about not doing it, but people are intentional about picking up their dogs' stuff, too."
Hannon walked the park the day he received the letter from Edwards to make sure people were picking up the waste.
"I only found three (deposits) in the whole area and picked them up," Hannon said. "There's the odd one here and there, but I think the people are doing a really good job."
Excess waste isn't the only problem, Edwards said.
Dogs are breaking through orange barriers and tearing up reseeding areas.
Edwards bought the barriers to keep the park open rather than closing it temporarily for maintenance.
Hannon said volunteers have secured the barriers better and are trying to keep people aware of their purpose.
"I think if you go there on a Saturday, a majority of the dogs are well-behaved," Hannon said.
"I think these issues are something the users can work out better to make things more harmonious."
No pickup equals fine
The city of Sequim does not police the dog park for lazy users because of budget and manpower issues.
Lisa Hopper, code compliance and animal control officer for the city, said people who do not pick up their dog's waste can receive a $50 fine as a class three infraction and repeat offenses increase with each ticket's price.
For a ticket, a compliance officer must catch the person in the act of leaving dog waste or a witness must be willing to sign the ticket.
This applies in the city limits as well.
Hopper recommends park users speak to those not picking up the waste and create awareness.
Open discussion
The Sequim Dog Park Pals will meet 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 13, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church to discuss volunteering and efforts for self-policing dog waste pickup.
"We're going to meet with people who are concerned," Hannon said.
"We want to make sure this issue doesn't come up again."

From today's RBC Daily;
Question of the day: Did you make more than 25 placements this year?
Check in if you hit this milestone and are part of this club.
Tags: Placement, RBC, Recruiting
186 Full time permanent placements this year whoop whoop bring on the dancing girls !! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone may 2013 bring all the success and rewards you desire
Wow, 186....Schnikes!!!! Great job Terence! I made 31 and I'm going to say Woo-Hoo!!!! 5 were short term or interns, 5 turned over :-(...but the rest are going strong as full time perms. As Terence said....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! Here's to 2013 being even better!!!!
Hey Tim,
I am on the corporate side & absolutely. I can say though, there was an unusual amount of internal placements/transfers this year. This was much more so than any other year I can remember. Economic uncertainty? I guess. I don't see that trend happening again next year. Did anyone else see the same thing?
8 since starting my new gig in August - 6 perm, 2 contract. 4 "near misses" on folks who backed out last minute (lots of lessons learned on those!)
Goal in 2013 is to hit 30!!
NO (have in the past), but if I did, I would have made 650k+.... Happy Holidays ALL, Brian-

We didn't talk much on the drive home from the lawyer's office.
Before we arrived, our children called and said, "Don't come home. The front of the house is crammed with reporters and camera crews. We've had to tack blankets over the windows to keep them from shining lights into the house." As we neared the drive, we saw that the kids were right. Hordes of reporters clustered at the entrance to our driveway, so we didn't pull in. Instead, we kept going until we reached the home of our friends Adam and Julie Taylor. They quickly ushered us in and provided a safe haven from the media. Not long after we arrived, our kids came by, one by one. A news van pursued our boys, who considered outrunning the media an adventure. Christy, however, was not amused. She was deeply concerned and protective of us. As we waited for the news vans to leave, we moved to the Taylors' basement. From there, I called my parents and my sisters to give them the awful news. After absorbing the shock, they promised to pray for us. I promised to keep in touch about further developments. |

It is summer holidays and hopefully all teachers are taking some well earned time to rest and recuperate. Enjoy that time. I am not sure about you but it takes me about 3 weeks to really relax and enjoy the holidays. For the first week I still think about the kids and my class. The second week I think about everything I should have done, or could have done with my lessons and students. Finally by week 3 I start enjoying my holidays.
And then I do what all teachers do – start thinking about next year.
This year I am doing something a little different. My own little professional development project. I am going to watch and learn from TED
Have you heard of Ted?
"TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences – the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobalTEDx program and the annual TED Prize conference in Oxford UK each summer – TED includes the award winning video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TEDx program and the annual TED Prize."

For me, TED is the Open University for the world. I wish I could claim the time I watch the videos on line as credit for Professional Development. When you watch the talks you are infected by the passion for learning. The speakers are entertaining, thought-provoking and serious about teaching the audience.
There are over a 1000 videos on the website. So far I have watched the following 10 videos. I am not going to give you a blurb about each video because the message I have received from these videos may be different to yours. But I will say that each TED talk has given me the knowledge and motivation to do better and be better next year.
Cameron Herold: Let's raise kids to be Entrepreneurs
Adora Svitak: What adults can learn for kids.
Erin McKean redefines the Dictionary
Jamie Oliver: Teach Every Child About Food
Randy Pausch: Really achieving your Childhood Dreams
Gever Tulley- 5 Dangerous Things
Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution
Kiran Bir Sethi teaches kids to take charge
Sugata Mitra shows how kids teach themselves
When your head comes out of those restful clouds, and you are looking for some inspiration, take a look at the Ted Talks. And let me know some other great clips to watch. I am looking for some more information.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver Select the California Museum's California Hall of Fame 2009 Inductees
The California Hall of Fame Committee Chair Pat Splinter Announces Names of Inductees on The California Museum's Website at
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver today released the names of the 2009 inductees to The California Museum's California Hall of Fame. Pat Splinter, Chair of The California Museum's California Hall of Fame committee and Museum trustee, announced the names in a video posted on the Museum's website,
. In its fourth year, the California Hall of Fame has continued the tradition of honoring legendary people who embody California's innovative spirit and have made their mark on history.
The 2009 California Hall of Fame inductees are: comedian Carol Burnett, former Intel CEO Andrew Grove, governor and U.S. senator Hiram Johnson, decathlete and philanthropist Rafer Johnson, industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, philanthropist and peace activist Joan Kroc, film-maker George Lucas, football commentator John Madden, gay rights advocate Harvey Milk, artist Fritz Scholder, author Danielle Steel, fitness and bodybuilding champion Joe Weider, and Air Force test pilot General Chuck Yeager.
The 2009 inductees join 38 California Hall of Fame inductees who have made great achievements in science, philanthropy, sports, business, entertainment, literature, fitness, technology, activism and politics. The California Hall of Fame highlights the broad range of California interests by honoring trailblazers who have not broken barriers in just one field or talent, but have impacted the world with their overall courage, determination and creativity.
"The California Hall of Fame celebrates our most influential women and men, and honors them for their drive, willingness to take risks, dedication and success in touching the lives of millions of people -- not just in this state, but around the world," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "I am excited about this year's fantastic inductees and thank my wonderful wife Maria for creating a program that honors all their diverse achievements."
"Now more than ever, I see how the perseverance and passion of one person can have a lasting impact in the lives of people, not only in their community but across the world," said First Lady Maria Shriver. "When talent and a relentless drive are matched, the efforts of a single individual can create a legacy of change, hope and empowerment. Every individual inducted into the California Hall of Fame symbolize the biggest hearts, the greatest drive and the deepest inspiration. It's an honor to induct these extraordinary individuals who have each made their own unique mark in history."
"The magnitude of this prestigious award is never lost on me," said The California Museum's Executive Director, Claudia French. "Being selected for this award is a distinction of great honor, one that is reserved for the best and the brightest."
The California Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at The California Museum in Sacramento. The ceremony will be followed by a reception and unveiling of the new exhibit installation, featuring artifacts and mementos personally loaned by the inductees, their families and organizations, including many items that have never been exhibited before.
All living inductees and family of posthumous inductees are scheduled to participate in the presentation of the Spirit of California medals by the Governor and First Lady.
"It is an honor to be inducted into the California Hall of Fame by the Governor and First Lady," said General Chuck Yeager. "California is the home of the greatest achievements in flight, and I am proud to represent the collective efforts of the many who sought to make those dreams a reality."
"I love California. My fondest memory as a kid was climbing the Hollywood sign," said Carol Burnett. "I'm thrilled to be honored by the State I love."
The California Hall of Fame-inspired Dreamers Challenge, an extension of the institution's mission to dare young people to dream, was designed to recognize innovative and creative thinking by awarding two $5,000 scholarships to high school seniors who can best illustrate how they would change the world. Unlike other scholarships, participants can respond in whatever medium suits their style and talent -- painting, poetry, videos, musical creations, essays or Power Point presentations, for example.

Charles Julius Guiteau was an American assassin born on September 8, 1831 in Freeport, Illinois. As a young adult he joined a controversial religious sect and then studied theology and law. Guiteau wrote a speech that was delivered at most two times by James Garfield, and as such believed he was responsible for Garfield's presidential win. Guiteau insisted President Garfield appoint him an ambassadorship to Paris. After the president denied his requests,
Guiteau shot him in 1881. Guiteau died by hanging on June 30, 1882 for the assassination of President Garfield.
Early Life
Assassin Charles Julius Guiteau was born on September 8, 1841 in Freeport, Illinois. The fourth of six children, Charles Julius Guiteau was raised in Freeport and Ulao, Wisconsin. After a failed attempt to attend the University of Michigan, Guiteau joined the Oneida Community in New York, a controversial religious sect his father belonged to. He then obtained a law license in Chicago and started a firm with an inheritance from his grandfather. After that endeavor failed, he turned to theology and then politics.
Assassination of President Garfield
After writing a hackneyed speech in support of President Garfield, Guiteau insisted he be awarded with an ambassadorship in Paris. Garfield's staff grew weary of Guiteau's repeated requests and eventually told him never to return. Filled with righteous indignation, he shot President Garfield at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station on July 2, 1881. Garfield died from his wounds on September 19.
Trial and Execution
Charles Guiteau's trial was a media circus, with the defendant viewing himself as something of a celebrity. He claimed he was legally but not medically insane at the time of the shooting and was dismayed to be found guilty on January 23, 1882. Guiteau was sentenced to death by hanging on June 30, 1882.

Anxiety and depression, to varying degrees, inevitably accompany a diagnosis of cancer. I worry more about the occasional woman whom I meet who seems to be coping too well and not expressing these feelings. Fortunately, the early period after diagnosis is the worst, and after a treatment plan has been fully developed, things usually seem a bit better. As a woman in one of my groups said yesterday, "We can't control anything, but we learn how to manage things."
From Living Beyond Breast Cancer, this is an opportunity to think more and ask your questions about these normal reactions:
Ask the Expert: Anxiety and Depression
During the month of July, get your questions answered about how to cope with the complex emotions you may feel after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis and after completing treatment for breast cancer, or if you are at high risk for breast cancer. Learn more.
If you have questions about the emotional issues that may concern you as a woman affected by breast cancer; how to control anxiety before, during and after treatment; how to get the support you need from friends and family; or when to seek professional help, ask our expert Drucilla Brethwaite, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, your question.
We will be posting Ms. Brethwaite's answers throughout the month; see our submission form for more details and submission guidelines, and check back here for updates.

Health & Safety: There are always guards everywhere in an NYU building, but other than that, nothing much.
Health & Safety: I feel safe on campus.
Health & Safety: The individuals at the student health center are very helpful and friendly. Most of the campus security guards are very friendly and helpful.
Health & Safety: Campus Police are stationed at the entrance to every NYU building and they follow strict procedures when it comes to allowing any guests into the buildings. This can be annoying at times, but in the end it helps you feel safe in New York. And if you were out and anything were to ever happen, you can always go into any NYU building.
Health & Safety: Campus Police are always available to drive students home, no questions asked, from wherever they are.

New York City is becoming increasingly safer—and as a result, so is NYU. At least one security guard is posted at the entrance of every NYU building to check IDs and control entrance, and dorms have security guards at the entrances 24 hours a day. Sometimes these guards can be cranky and pack an attitude—watching drunk college kids stumble home night after night isn't the most fun job, after all—so being polite is the best way to play. Befriending them can be in your favor in expediting the guest sign-in policy. There is always an RA on-call in all NYU dorms and an effective emergency response system in place. Living in an NYU res hall may actually be the safest place to live in the city. Safe Ride vans are available for nighttime transport between NYU buildings, and non-NYU "green-light" buildings provide safe havens. With classes, nightlife, shopping, jobs, and endless other involvements to worry about, NYU students are rarely preoccupied with their safety.
In a place like New York City, tight security is a must. NYU is much safer than you might think, but in the end, you should always be careful. Don't ever assume that you are completely safe just because you see a security guard around every corner of campus. You have to remember that you are in a big city where anything could happen, so take precautions accordingly. Always be aware of your surroundings and never walk around the city alone late at night. NYU Public Safety officers tend to patrol campus as it gets late, especially once it is dark, and whenever they are needed, they can be easily contacted by calling the number on the back of your NYU ID.

"Collisions caused some planetesimals to accrete or grow rapidly and become the ancestors of planets. During the late stage of accretion it is postulated that the proto-Earth collided with a somewhat smaller planetesimal, and that the resulting debris thrown into orbit around the Earth re-accreted to form the Moon."
Dropping the ball
The atlas will be a boon to any backyard amateur astronomer or a desktop reference to more serious professionals. Yet the crisp black-and-white photos are likely to stir the imagination of anyone whose spirit was ever fired by moony science fiction or Neil Armstrong's famous first step off the planet.
And don't get Wood started on how we dropped the ball on humans in space.
Oh, wait, let's get him started.
The last human beings to walk on the moon -- and roll across it in Lunar Rovers -- were astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt, who arrived in the moon's Taurus-Littrow Valley on Dec. 11, 1972 on Apollo 17. It was the sixth and final landing of men on the lunar surface and they checked out after three days.
Just for historical orientation, that would have been the year Atari debuted the first generation of video games with the release of "Pong." It was a while ago, in other words.
Leftover Apollo rockets were used in earth orbit for Skylab and a 1975 joint US-Soviet détente-era launch. Then, more space stations and space shuttles. So, no human has gone beyond merely orbiting our home world for more than 40 years now.
"It's an amazing turning our face away from the future," Wood said. "It's like Columbus and those early sailors coming to the New World and saying, 'Yep, I've seen that! Cross that off my bucket list.' And never going back."
Wood observed that 50 years after Columbus made landfall in the New World there were several hundred thousand Europeans who had followed in his wake across the Atlantic.
"How many people are living on the moon?" he asked. "In fact, when we came to the end of the Apollo space program, if we had not stopped, if we had not squandered our time for 30 or 40 years on a space station, we could have gone back to the moon and established colonies."
With a lament in his voice that recalls that fifth grade boy looking up in wonderment at the moon cresting the midnight sky, he added: "We could've been by now a space-faring people."
Faking it
Since this story will be on the Internet and may be commented upon by the fringe of folks who yet believe the moon landings were faked on a Hollywood sound stage, the man who could be the moon's official personal representative also has a few words for these ... um, sorry, but the word demands to be used here: lunatics.
The photos from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter are so detailed you can pick out where the astronauts kicked up their heels in the dust, changing its color tone, or went joyriding across the plains in big-wheeled rovers.
"We can see actual images on the moon of where humans left things," he said. "Hopefully, it'll put an end to the stupidity of people saying humans didn't go there. It's a tremendous insult to say that they didn't."
For his part, Wood is surprised more people don't share his fascination with what the book dubs the moon's "topographically exuberant landscape." He hopes his atlas will help generate a new round of folks who become -- his word for his lunar fixation -- "an addict."
Unlike farther out objects, like Mars, Titan and distant galaxies, which can only be appreciated up close and personal with serious telescopic firepower, the moon reveals wonders even with binoculars, much less a high-powered amateur telescope.
"The moon's a small little space in the sky that has 10,000 landmarks in that small space that you can explore," he said.
The atlas was initially a self-published labor of love he undertook on his own time. Then, someone from West Virginia University Press heard him interviewed on West Virginia Public Radio and offered to distribute it in their 2013 Fall catalog.
His hopes for the atlas? Pretty simple, really, Wood said.
"Sell a million copies and build my own spaceship to go to the moon."
