text: 5 Tips For Making Your Home Healthier For Children Home Is Where Your Health Is! 5 Guidelines For Families by Heather Maddan 10/24/10 0 Reactions 14 Shares Print 0 11 3 0 0 Keeping a child safe at home means more for a parent than just locking the doors. Healthy Home 2010, an experiment in cleaner living, is the latest project from the folks over at Healthy Child, Healthy World. A Chicago-area residence was designed (inside and out) with sustainable and less toxic materials to improve the quality of life for its residents. The model is meant to educate and inspire other families to green their own homes. Here are five simple tips the organization offers up for everyone to follow. Nick Novelli, Novelli PhotoDesign Step 1: Avoid Pesticides What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 • Avoid using toxic chemicals inside and out. Even when used according to the directions, pesticides can pose health risks. By Federal Law, no one can say pesticides are safe – so don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. • Prevent pests through good sanitation and food storage habits, and by preventing their entry structurally. • Take off your shoes at the door to prevent tracking pesticides indoors. Traces of pesticide residues can cling to the bottoms of your shoes and then rub off on your carpet and rugs. Nick Novelli, Novelli PhotoDesign 1 / 5 Step 2: Use Non-Toxic Products What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cleaners • Use gentle castile soap and water - these have been shown to keep surfaces as free of bacteria as antibacterial soaps do. In fact, antibacterial soaps and disposable wipes have not been proven any more effective than regular soap in preventing infections among average consumers, but raise significant concerns about developing resistant bacteria. Also, triclosan commonly used in antibacterial products has been linked to negative environmental and health impacts. • Buy safer cleaning products. Many local, online, and discount stores carry cleaning and home products that are very effective without harsh chemicals or fumes. • Make your own safer cleaning products. Baking soda is a great scouring agent and vinegar mixed with water makes an effective glass cleaner. • Reduce your use of products altogether by investing in microfiber cloths or hand held steam cleaners, both of which clean effectively with water alone. Personal Care Products • Look for products made with certified organic ingredients and those with the fewest ingredients. • Use fewer products and smaller amounts. • Avoid body care products with Parabens, Phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DMP, DEP), DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate,DEA (diethanolamine) and TEA (triethanolamine), Formaldehyde, PEGs (polyethylene glycol), and anything with "glycol" or "methyl." Home Furnishings • Look for products made with natural materials. Call the manufacturer to find out what a product is made of (be sure to ask about adhesives, coatings, and treatments.) • Re-invent and re-use furnishings to reduce your exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – often recognized as that "new smell." Nick Novelli, Novelli PhotoDesign 2 / 5 Step 3: Clean Up Indoor Air What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The products we use and surround ourselves with are the source of a substantial portion of indoor air pollution. That's why it's essential to know what's in the products you buy and opt for the most natural and non-toxic choices. After doing your best to eliminate the source of the pollutants, you should ensure your home is properly ventilated. And the third step, for special situations, is to use an air purifier to capture any lingering risky contaminants. When addressing odors, use non-toxic techniques to scent and deodorize the house. Nick Novelli, Novelli PhotoDesign 3 / 5 Step 4: Eat Healthy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The easiest way to eat healthier is to start making your food instead of buying processed, prepared food and warming it. Buying whole foods reduces your exposure to the many synthetic additives found in processed foods. Many people feel they don't have the time or the skills to make foods from scratch, but once you start doing it, you'll see how easy it really is. Also, if you include children in the process, you'll empower them to eat healthy for a lifetime (and kids are more likely to eat new foods if they are involved in choosing, buying, and preparing it.) Nick Novelli, Novelli PhotoDesign 4 / 5 Step 5: Be Wise With Plastics What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The best thing to do is to reduce your use of plastic. Look for natural alternatives like textiles, solid wood, bamboo, glass, stainless steel, etc. Also, look for items with less (or no) plastic packaging. If you do buy plastic, opt for products you can recycle or re-purpose (e.g. a yogurt tub can be re-used to store crayons). And, get to know your plastics – starting with this guide: The most common plastics have a resin code in a chasing arrow symbol (often found on the bottom of the product). #1 PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): AVOID Common Uses: Soda Bottles, Water Bottles, Cooking Oil Bottles Concerns: Can leach antimony and phthalates. (Note: Healthy Child recommends avoiding food/beverage PET usage, but it's actually an environmentally preferable plastic for other product categories given it's recyclability and low toxicity.) #2 HDPE (High Density Polyethylene): SAFER Common Uses: Milk Jugs, Plastic Bags, Yogurt Cups #3 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride, aka Vinyl): AVOID Common Uses: Condiment Bottles, Cling Wrap, Teething Rings, Toys, Shower Curtains Concerns: Can leach lead and phthalates among other things. Can also off-gas toxic chemicals. #4 LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene): SAFER Common Uses: Produce Bags, Food Storage Containers #5 PP (Polypropylene): SAFER Common Uses: Bottle Caps, Storage Containers, Dishware #6 PS (Polystyrene, aka Styrofoam): AVOID Common Uses: Meat Trays, Foam Food Containers & Cups Concerns: Can leach carcinogenic styrene and estrogenic alkylphenols #7 Other this is a catch-all category which includes: PC (Polycarbonate): AVOID - can leach Bisphenol-A (BPA). It also includes ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), Acrylic, and Polyamide. These plastics can be a safer option because they are typically very durable and resistant to high heat resulting in less leaching. Their drawbacks are that they are not typically recyclable and some need additional safety research. New plant-based, biodegradable plastics like PLA (Polylactic Acid) also fall into the #7 category.

Gossage, Williams begin emotional week
Closer and manager headline gala Hall of Fame ceremony
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- The crowd this coming weekend is expected to be much smaller than last year. But the induction ceremony at the National Hall of Fame for Rich "Goose" Gossage and Dick Williams should be no less emotional.Last year, an estimated mob of 75,000 flooded this small hamlet of 2,000 on the banks of Otsego Lake to attend the induction of Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. Sunday's ceremony -- at 1:30 p.m. ET -- is expected to be a more private affair with about 15,000 on hand. Credential requests from media are down about 50 percent from last year's record 600. The fans will certainly make their way upstate from New York City to honor Gossage, the closer who will be inducted wearing a dark blue Yankees cap with the famous interlocking "NY." Gossage will join Williams, who managed six Major League teams, on the stage behind the Clark Sports Center, along with 54 of the other 62 living Hall of Famers. "It's amazing," Gossage said last week. "I can't imagine standing up there on that stage at Cooperstown. The anxiety's killing me. Just the anticipation is overwhelming. I don't really know what I'm in store for. This is a first experience for me. And first experiences, we have to go through to experience it. I'm looking forward to it so much." Williams was one of five managers and executives elected late last year by separate, newly formed Veterans Committees. He received 13 of the 16 votes from the committee assigned to vote only for managers and umpires. World Series-winning managers Williams and Billy Southworth of the Cardinals were elected along with Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and two owners, Walter O'Malley (Dodgers) and Barney Dreyfuss (Pirates). The latter threesome was selected by a 12-person panel charged with examining pioneers and executives only. Although all will be inducted, Williams is the only living member of the quintet. This past January, Gossage was the sole player elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in his ninth year on the ballot. On Friday, a statue of Buck O'Neil, the late great Negro Leaguer, will be unveiled in the red-bricked museum on Main Street. O'Neil will also be honored with an award in his name and he will be the first recipient. Joe Morgan, the Hall of Fame second baseman and an ESPN analyst, is expected to accept the award for O'Neil on Sunday. O'Neil passed away in 2006 only months after he missed election to the Hall by a single vote as 17 of his Negro League brethren were selected by a special committee. They were all inducted two years ago when Bruce Sutter, another closer from the Gossage era, was the only player voted in by the writers. O'Neil opened the festivities that year, and eying a sun-baked crowd of about 11,000, sitting under a clear blue sky, he said these three words without missing a beat: "This is outstanding." Williams, now 79, mused last year that he might never make it either, saying that upon his death he planned to have his ashes spread around tiny Doubleday Field, because "I thought that might be the closest I got." And then the votes came tumbling in.

"I'm getting excited and maybe a little nervous," Williams said. "Goose said he feels the same way. Goose and I have been at a lot of events and signings [this year]. We've talked a lot. It's been so darned wonderful. It's like a new life. I figured it was going to be different, but I didn't think it was going to be this different. I get chills even thinking about it."Both men haven't received this much attention in decades. Williams' career ended in 1988 and Gossage hasn't picked up a baseball in competition since 1994, although his days as a dominant closer were over well before the end of the 1980s. Williams won the World Series twice (1972-73) as manager of the A's and will go in wearing an Oakland cap. He managed the Padres in 1984 and teamed with Gossage and Gwynn as they won the first National League pennant in franchise history before losing a five-game World Series to Detroit. Williams also won the American League pennant in 1967 as a rookie manager with the Red Sox. Joe Torre, now the Dodgers manager, went toe-to-toe with Williams in the mid-1980s when Torre managed the Braves and Williams managed San Diego. "Dick was a great manager," said Torre, who seems assured of his own spot eventually in Cooperstown after managing the Yankees to four World Series titles, six AL pennants and 12 consecutive postseason appearances. "He did it in both leagues. He was a very smart manager, as far as I'm concerned. You couldn't top him technically and strategy-wise. I thought he'd be in the Hall of Fame long before now." Williams' big league managerial career began in 1967 with the Red Sox and ended in 1988 with the Mariners. But his success in Oakland under the cantankerous owner Charlie Finley will be his lasting legacy. He'll go into the Hall wearing a green and gold cap because of three first-place finishes in the AL West and 280-198 record in his three Oakland seasons. Overall, he had a 1,571-1,451 record (.520 winning percentage) in his 22 seasons as a big league manager. Williams is only the fourth manager from his era to be enshrined in the Hall, joining Sparky Anderson of the Reds and Tigers, Tommy Lasorda of the Dodgers and Earl Weaver of the Orioles. Williams had several epic World Series battles with Anderson. Williams' A's defeated Anderson's Reds in the 1972 Fall Classic, while Anderson's Tigers whipped Williams' Padres in 1984. Williams said he expected a lot from his players. "I was fair, but I was demanding," he said. "I wasn't the nicest guy in the world, although I certainly wasn't a tyrant. [These days] I'd get fired within in a week. My style of play doesn't fit in with all these millionaires now. Listen, more power to the player. He's getting that money. They're bigger, they're stronger, but I don't think they know baseball as well as we knew it or still know it." Gossage, who just turned 57 years old and fell short by 21 votes in 2007, was named on 466 of 543 (85.8 percent) ballots cast this past December. Gossage had one of his best years under Williams in 1984, his first of four seasons with the Padres, finishing 10-6 with 25 saves and 84 strikeouts in 62 games (102 1/3 innings). He was on the mound in the ninth inning of Game 5 against the Cubs in San Diego to close out the NL Championship Series, his final postseason save. "I'm really happy he got in because I really thought he should have been in a long time ago," Gwynn said about Gossage. "Goose was one of those guys who was very outspoken. He wanted to win. You got a chance to see first-hand a guy take control of the game."
Gossage's 23-year career is a road map of baseball stops around the world: Chicago (White Sox and Cubs); Pittsburgh; New York (Yankees, twice); San Diego; San Francisco; Fukuoka, Japan; Arlington; Oakland and Seattle.His 1978 Yankees team, after Gossage pitched the final 2 2/3 innings to vanquish the Red Sox in a one-game playoff, went on to defeat the Dodgers in a thrilling six-game World Series. Gossage, a nine-time All-Star, was the winner of Game 4 of that World Series, pitching the final two scoreless, hitless innings of a 10-inning, 4-3, come-from-behind win. He also saved the first two games against the Dodgers in the 1981 World Series, although Los Angeles came back to win the last four games for the championship. As opposed to today, Gossage pitched in an era when relievers routinely were given the ball in the seventh inning and asked to close out the game. "When we went out to play we honestly thought it was a six-inning game," Gwynn said. "If you didn't do much damage against us in the first six innings, Goose was going to come in and shut the door. I saw him do it a lot." He finished 18th on the all-time list with 310 saves, but remarkably, 52 of them came in games in which he was required to record seven or more outs. By comparison, of his 390 saves, Dennis Eckersley pitched five such games. Trevor Hoffman, the all-time leader, has two of 541, and Mariano Rivera, third all-time, one of 467. "I've always said what they do today is easy compared to what we used to do," Gossage said. "Certainly the numbers that these guys are putting up is the reason why it took awhile [for the writers] to figure out where they were going to put relievers [in the Hall]. They're so dominant in that one-inning role, they kind of forgot what we used to do." For Gossage, it was the second time in the past three years that a premium reliever was the only player elected by the writers to the Hall. Two years ago Sutter was elected in his 13th year on the ballot. Sutter, who had 300 saves in a 12-year career shortened by arm injuries, was preceded by Hoyt Wilhelm, Rollie Fingers and Eckersley -- three closers who, like Gossage, also started during their stellar careers. Sutter is the only reliever inducted who never made at least one start. "I'm probably the only pitcher to see the evolution of the bullpen from the time I broke in to the way it is today," Gossage said. "That's the only point I've ever tried to make: Please don't compare me to these modern-day relievers. It's apples and oranges. It's not the same game."

Cozy, breakfast served in the room is way better than being served in a common room. The Sea Gull Inn is easy to find, but the GPS services only provide one 'you have arrived' destination for all addresses on Albion Street; fortunately, downtown Mendocino is way too small to get lost. The owners, Jim and Ayla Douglas are really friendly, their prices are well below everything else around, and it's really nice being within walking distance of the entire downtown as well as the cliffs and beach. It's a really quiet location; my Valentine and I can't think of a single drawback, except to remember next time to look under the bed for our half-full red heart box of Valentine chocolates.

Bed was held up by books in one corner. Room had not been cleaned properly as trash was found from previous guests. Room had fixtures that were broken and need repair. Overall, possibly the worst hotel experience that I've had.
Good 7.0
A lot of character. Like a really old victorian.
There is a lot of deferred maintenance. The gas fireplace didn't work. There was a lot of dust behind the furniture. Poor electrical, cords went everywhere. Bathroom was tiny. Bed was really noisy.Lot of potential. New owner has a lot of work to do and can gain a lot of rewards.

The roundabout at 14th and Superior opened only a year ago. Since then, 112 crashes have been reported. 45 percent of those involved drivers under the age of 30.
"That's telling us they're the ones that are having the most trouble with this intersection, so we're going to reach out to them and try to hopefully see a reduction in those figures," Lincoln Public Works Engineering Servicing manager Thomas Shafer said.
Lincoln Public works hopes to educate drivers on the correct way to use the roundabout by reaching out to local schools and parents.
"We don't want folks looking across the intersection and seeing somebody come in and trying to make the judgment off of that, we want them to look just and only to the left," Shafer said.
Shafer also suggested drivers to yield to other cars entering the roundabout.
In the next few weeks Lincoln Public Works plans to make lane and sight changes.
"We're going to cut down on the number of lanes out there which means folks have less to contend with, less decisions to be made. In the median there will be some fencing added to help restrict sight distance so folks are making the judgment of when to enter the roundabout at the appropriate time," Shafer said.
Shafer said this may help cut back on the number of fender benders at 14th and Superior.
These changes may not be permanent. Lincoln Public Works plans to study whether or not the lane and sight restrictions affect the number of crashes, and they said they'll have that information in the next four to six months.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told a group of visiting US Senators
on Friday that if reelected he will work to stop Iran's illicit nuclear
"My priority, if I'm elected for a next term as prime minister, will be first to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons," he
told the group, which included Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-KY). "I think that was and remains the highest priority for both our
countries. I appreciate the American support and your support for that
Even as Netanyahu refocused on the Iranian threat, the UN nuclear agency chief said Friday
he was not optimistic about talks with Iran next week on getting access
to a military base Western powers suspect has been used for
atomic-weapons related work.
"The outlook is not bright," Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said in Tokyo.
Western powers say Iran is trying to develop the capability to make atomic weapons, a charge the Islamic Republic denies.
Amano said in Japanese comments translated into English: "Talks with
Iran don't proceed in a linear way. It's one step forward, two or three
steps back ... So we can't say we have an optimistic outlook" for the
January 16 meeting.
the meeting with Netanyahu, Senator McConnell touted strong bipartisan
support for Israel in the United States, even while the Republican and
Democrat parties face off on other issues.
"As everybody in
Israel knows, there are a lot of things we disagree on in America, we've
had big battles over deficit and debt, but there's broad bipartisan
support for Israel, and our agenda in this part of the world is the same
as your agenda," he said. "You're one of our best friends and we're
happy to continue that relationship."
US President Barack Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel
to the defense secretary position raised eyebrows in Jerusalem and
among pro-Israel politicians in the US, concerned over the former
Senator's Israel record. Critics accuse Hagel of opposing sanctions and
being satisfied with containing Tehran, as opposed to preventing it from
obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Kyle Sees Trend Toward 'Apartheid in Shelby County'
The Senate gave final legislative approval Monday to the bill letting the Memphis suburbs hold referendums this year on creating municipal school districts, despite charges that it's "part of a growing trend ... of apartheid in Shelby County."
More from the Richard Locker report:
The bill now goes to Gov. Bill Haslam, who said earlier that he wanted the panel planning the merger of Memphis and Shelby County schools to complete its work before the suburbs decide on new municipal school systems. If the bill does become law, it may be the subject of further federal court review.
In his ruling in the schools consolidation lawsuit last August, U.S. Dist. Judge Hardy Mays upheld last year's Public Chapter 1 that set up the merger planning process but made it clear he was not ruling yet on provisions in that law allowing for new municipal or special school districts after the merger occurs.
Monday's Senate approval would have been anti-climactic were it not for an exchange between the majority and minority leaders, both from Shelby County. The House approval Friday was the critical vote, because the Senate had approved virtually the same language last week.
The Senate's 22-9 vote Monday was mostly along party lines, with Sens. Reginald Tate of Memphis and Charlotte Burks of Cookeville the only Democrats voting for the bill. All Republicans voted for it.
Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle, D-Memphis, raised the specter of "apartheid" and said the vote will haunt lawmakers. He singled out Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville.
"This is a matter that Senator Norris and I see about as completely, as differently as two men can see it," he said. "While many of you view this as simply a partisan discussion or an urban and suburban discussion and it doesn't affect you -- You're with your friends -- I'll say to you this: What this is is a part of a growing trend of, quite frankly, apartheid in Shelby County.
"That is where we are, that's what we're doing with these schools and that's what you are voting for with this conference committee report to allow the suburban cities in Shelby County to form their own school systems so they don't have to have their school systems with the people of Memphis, when almost 75 percent of every one of the jobs of those folks is in Memphis," Kyle said.
"Now, one day this is going to come back to haunt you. ... This is the first step down a road that the city of Memphis doesn't need to go down and one day, the state of Tennessee is going to have to recognize that Memphis is the second-largest city and it's going to have some problems. I want you to remember that day.
"But this is not just some partisan urban-suburban situation. This is about some folks saying, 'No we're going to be different. We don't want to be with you,'" Kyle said.
Norris bristled at Kyle's statements. "I will not dignify the remarks made by the gentleman across the aisle with a response," he said.

This was the first pumpkin dip I made using Marshmallow creme. It is great! Gives a nice fluffy filling to this delicious dip. Excellent with cinnamon pit chips!

This is a great recipe. We use it on all our desserts - great as a substitute for whipped cream. I've eaten it on cake, cheesecake and shortbread!

FORT WORTH – Fort Worth police are searching for three men and a woman who attempted to rob and kidnap a man while he power-washed a Sonic parking lot Tuesday morning.
Department spokesman Officer Clifton Miller said three Hispanic men approached the victim at the Sonic fast food restaurant on 1800 West Berry at 12:55 a.m. They pulled guns and ordered the man to hand over the keys to his Toyota Titan truck, which had a trailer attached that contained his power washing equipment.
He gave one of the men his keys as a woman driving a white-two door car cruised up next to the group. The victim was told to get in the bed of his truck. Miller said the group then tried to force him into the trunk of the white car, but the man resisted.
Miller said he escaped with minor injuries, but the suspects fled in the car. Grainy surveillance footage captured it driving away; we've tried to tinker with the contrast and brightness to make it more visible.
His truck and the power washer were abandoned and later found at separate locations in Fort Worth and Forest Hill, Miller said.
One of the men is between 24 and 25 years old and is taller than six feet. Miller said he has tattoos on his face. The second man is younger and about five-foot-six-inches with a "bald head and a skinny build."
There's no description of the third man, Miller said. The female suspect is described as "heavy-set" with long hair. She wore pink Capri pants and a white blouse.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Worth Police Department at 817.335.4222, Crime Stoppers at 817.469.8477 or the robbery unit at 817.392.4370. All tips are anonymous.

Twill Cargo Shorts 39 40
Love These Shorts These shorts are awesome. They are very comfortable. I love wearing them. The length is perfect and they have real pockets. The cargo pockets are large as they should be. One thing that would make the cargo pockets nicer would be a button closure. Hope these shorts are available again so I can order more. Should have ordered more the first time. July 30, 2014
The perfect weight and fit These cargo shorts are the perfect weight and fit. I love the natural waistline. I put them on the day I received them and never want to take them off. I will order another pair in a different color. July 30, 2014
Great Short Best all around and most versatile short I have ever purchased. Would like to see them made in navy and black. July 17, 2014
Great Purchase I love the quality, casual look, and extra pockets of these shorts. My thighs are heavy and these shorts allow me to feel more comfortable. The fabric is good for summer and is not heavy. Will order more. July 9, 2014
I love these shorts! They are very comfortable, they look great and they will be perfect for going on my safari as well as going to dinner. I am petite so I was concerned that the length might be too long but they're not! The down side is that they're only available in two colors :-(( I need more colors please!!! June 25, 2014
Perfect in short Really like these. Good quality and coverage. Great colors May 29, 2014
happy with this purchase It's hard to find "high-waisted" pants/shorts anymore, so I was very happy to come across these. I'm tall, but they do come down to my knees, and they're very comfortable. I wish the fabric was just a little sturdier, but you can't have everything... April 25, 2014

Despite our early arrival the Windjammer was pretty jammed up with few open tables visible; However, go completely aft and there will be a better chance to get a table. Food was good and service exceptional. Cabins were ready about 1:30 as promised.
The ship is dated but for the most part clean and very nice; particularly the Promenade which is very impressive and reminiscent of the Oasis although smaller. Richard Spacey is a great CD and he seemed to be more visible and talkative than when we first met him on the Oasis. We did not attend many shows so no comment here.
We did go to the Portofino one evening and agree with other reviews that it is indeed worth the extra price.
After the cruise was over the pain of Bayonne Cape liberty cruise port hit again: It was over a half hour wait in line on the ship for shuttles to arrive and load AFTER we were released from the waiting area to get to the port building and try and find our luggage. So many people carry off large pieces of luggage at this port that the shuttles are jammed and the entire process is chaos.
We would recommend Bermuda as a destination especially if you can avoid the Bayonne cruise port for starting the trip. Cape Liberty is a terrible example of what a cruise port should be and is best compared to those in undeveloped countries and probably is worse than those. For some reason debarkation at Cape Liberty is even worse than embarkation with one of our bags placed randomly in another group and no way to find it except for looking over the entire room............MARK YOUR BAG WELL so you can see it from a distance in the Bayonne terminal

Hi, I'm Michael Sampson – a Collaboration Strategist.
My passion is helping organizations to make collaboration work, when their employees have to work together effectively while separated by distance and time. Note that this passion is energized by an unrelenting why.
I advise end-user organizations in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and the United States on making collaboration work.
A Brief History
Here's a brief history of my work:
- In the mid-90s, I wrote my Masters thesis on delivering consulting services across geographical distances. That was at the University of Canterbury.
- I worked at Telecom New Zealand as a strategist for 3 years.
- From 1998-2000, I ran my first company in New Zealand. It was an IBM Lotus Notes and Domino Business Partner firm, and we served clients around the world. We did great work.
- My introduction to being an Industry Analyst was through five years of research and writing with David Ferris at Ferris Research.
- I ran my own Industry Analyst firm from 2003-2006, with a focus on team collaboration. Take a look at Shared Spaces Research and Consulting.
- I worked for a vendor of collaboration software for 9 months – from mid-2006 to early 2007.
- In 2007, I went back to being an Industry Analyst at The Michael Sampson Company.
- While research and writing has always been a big focus, I have written six books in the past six years, and plan on writing more. See Doing Business with IBM Connections (2013), User Adoption Strategies (Second Edition) (2012), Collaboration Roadmap (2011), User Adoption Strategies (2010), SharePoint Roadmap for Collaboration (2009), and Seamless Teamwork (2008).
- I have presented workshops or spoken at conferences in quite a number of countries — Australia, Singapore, United States, London, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and of course my home country of New Zealand.
- In addition to a lot of writing, I have the privilege of working with great clients.
Five Publishing Avenues for Collaboration Strategy
Which brings you up-to-date. And now? Beyond client engagements and workshops, I share my research on making collaboration work via:
- My blog on collaboration topics, with an emphasis on culture, strategy, and adoption.
- Books on collaboration strategy, such as Collaboration Roadmap and the second edition of User Adoption Strategies.

vacation rental description
This Legendary Dream home at the entrance to the 'Camano Island State Park' sits on its own bluff and is known for some of the most remarkable, unobstructed ocean views and privacy on the entire Island. A rare, one story, open craftsman style home, has huge picture windows from every room to give you breathtaking views of Puget Sound, the boats to and from Canada and the Island's sea and wildlife. This sacred home was custom built for his wife by Al Emerson, the first forest ranger on Camano Island. Enjoy the peaceful walk to the nearby famous 'Al Emerson Nature Trail', which was dedicated in his honor. This is the ONLY home available that is at the entrance to the state park, yet is secluded and quiet.
Huge 3 car RV/Boat garage, vast circular drive and private Gym, completes this perfect retreat. The serene, private deck that wraps around most of the house overlooking the Sound, often catches many of our majestic rainbows!
Heaven on Earth has arrived!
Description Cont. : Due to the positioning of the property, you feel like you are ocean front, floating in the clouds with privacy as one of the main features, yet steps away from the magnificent Camano Island State Park. The Island even has its own 'airplane landing strip' for those who come by private plane. This unpretentious home is furnished to make you feel like royalty, with a secluded water view master suite which has a floor to ceiling hand carved 4 poster canopy bed, and a world famous Nikken magnetic mattress(which is endorsed by the World Federation of Chiropractics and may just give you the deepest, most healing sleep of your life). Also in the master suite is a freestanding fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to the deck. At the opposite end of the home is the second custom furnished bedroom with its own full bath and views of the trees and ocean from the sleigh bed.
There is a wood burning stove next to the kitchen in the living/dining area- all with ocean views-and the spacious kitchen is big enough for dancing! For you rugged, outdoor types, there is an attached huge 3 car RV/boat garage with its own full bath and gymnasium. Hiking, fishing, crabbing, boating and picnic areas are conveniently located within walking distance. Camano's own golf course is just a short drive within minutes of the home, next to the town center with various shops and a grocery store. If you are fortunate enough to be here over the fourth of July or New Years Eve, the firework shows over the water and Whidbey Island will take your breath away!
As the deer, bunnies, bald eagles and other wildlife stop by to visit, be sure to greet them because this is also a designated registered wildlife habitat owned by the founder of one of the first all-volunteer, foster-home pet rescues of its kind in the country.
Ask about making a donation to the charity, Recycled Pets Rescue, and receiving a signed copy of the owner's inspirational award winning book, My Recycled Pets: Diary of a Dog Addict. The cover of it was taken on a hiking trail by the home!
When this vacation ends, perhaps with one of our many rainbows smiling at you in your rear-view mirror, you will drive away feeling blessed and maybe even holding back a tear or two. For the quickest reply, please contact by phone and please leave a message if you receive the voicemail. No Smoking in the home or on the grounds please as this is a' Registered Wildlife Habitat'.
Contact us should you be interested in co-ownership or lease/option.

Backpacker Magazine – August 2008
Graze blueberry patches, explore swimming holes, and tag the South's high points on this sultry hike.
Exit Strategy
>> Clean up Arrow Creek Campground (865-430-7433; arrowcreekcamp.com), on your way to Cosby on US 321, has $3 showers.
>> Pig out The Front Porch (423-487-2875), on US 321 in Cosby, serves Mexican cuisine with a backwoods Appalachian twist–Cokes come in Mason jars, the band plays bluegrass, and, if you're lucky, one of the locals will slip you a flask of moonshine (a must-sip in the South) under the table. (If you're North Carolina-bound, stop at Nick & Nate's in Sylva for the classic post-hike pizza-and-beer combo.)
>> Best dayhike: Mt. Cammerer The views from atop the stone firetower on Mt. Cammerer–the lush Cosby Valley, Big Creek, and row upon row of rolling peaks (including, no joke, Rich Butt Mountain)–are simply the best in the park, says ranger Pam Rogers. The prettiest, least crowded route is the 12-mile roundtrip from Big Creek campground. Climb sharply on the Chestnut Branch Trail, then pass under black oak, birch, and red maple heading south on the AT. Look for young American chestnut trees–which were almost wiped out by a devastating blight in the 1920s–as you switchback up to the Mt. Cammerer Trail and the 4,928-foot peak. The octagonal, CCC-era tower on its rocky outcropping is one of only a handful of that style in the country.
>> Try something new The mountain biking in the Tsali Recreation Area, just southwest of the park, is some of the best in the East. Forty-two miles of hardpack wind through pine and hardwood forest, passing deer-filled meadows and winding up and down steep, rugged ridges. Splash across creeks and zoom past old homesites as you trace the edges of hilly peninsulas, all the while gazing at the Smokies' rolling peaks reflected in Fontana Lake. (828-479-6431; cs.unca.edu/nfsnc)
Ace the SmokiesSwollen streams and aggressive rodents are your biggest threats here. Avoid them–and nab the perfect shelter–with these tips.
>> Big water Don't get stranded behind a swollen creek. Check both the forecast and the last few days' weather–streams can stay impassably high for up to three days after heavy rains. Always check conditions with the backcountry office a day before your trip.
>> Hang it all Fact: The park's plentiful mice, raccoons, and bears are drooling over your trail mix. Thwart them like the rangers do by hanging your entire pack–not just your food bag–from your campsite's cable system. Stash the pack in a garbage bag to protect it from storms (most common on summer afternoons).
>> Gimme shelter Appalachian Trail shelters within 8 miles of Newfound Gap and Clingmans Dome Roads fill fast. Reserve ones that require a longer approach, like Mollies Ridge or Pecks Corner, for the best shot at a solo night.
You're A Tourist, Now Act like One
In mid-June, the Smokies' synchronous fireflies–the only species in the country that flash in unison–are at the peak of their group-blinking frenzy for a two-week window. Park at Sugarlands Visitor Center and catch the park's $2 shuttle to Elkmont Campground for a front-row seat; check nps.gov/grsm for dates and times.
The Stats
Acres 521,086
Miles of trail 800+
Website nps.gov/grsm
Phone 865-436-1220
2007 visitation 9.4 million (total), 70,215 (backcountry)
We just completed a 70 mile thru-hike of the AT traversing the Smoky Mts from Davenport Gap to Fontana Dam in 6 days. Keep your eyes open for bears-a-plenty. In fact, be sure to check ahead of time because quite a few shelters and primitive campgrounds were closed due to bear activity (bears entering the shelters). We saw four bears (two cubs) in one day and another two sniffing around at nighttime. The Smoky Mountains have a great food cable system for hanging your food, however other hikers we met mentioned that the mice still got into their food bags that were hanging. Happy Trails!

This year the park service has started a reservation system for viewing the synchronous fireflies. $1.50 registration view gets you a parking spot at the visitors center and $1.00 gets you a round trip shuttle pass.
Hiked extensively in this area, the creek crossings become deadly fast and deep with the slightest rainfall. Especially Eagle Creek and Forney Creek Trails. Lost Cove Trail to AT is another good alternate route if the water is high.
The happy hiker is now closed due to multiple roof leaks but the nantahala great outpost is right around the block...has everything and more that happy hiker had, including guided rafting and hiking trips.
Hey mike sure take it with you I had 3G on my IPhone near the peaks top in a few areas on trails near Grand Father Mt. As for else where I am not sure. Just take it and see is the best bet
RE; Mike...
Yes, WASS will be helpful in the Smokies. There is a lot of tree cover there.
I will be visiting the Smokies in a couple of weeks and I just wanted to know if there is any value in turning on waas on my garmin handheld?

This is what it is all about !
Love the Northeast in Spring. Spring is in full push. All the woods is in new life and the oaks and butternut trees are 1/2 way leafed out. The lilacs and dogwoods are on the first week past peak. Busy bird chatter calling mates and marking territory fill the air. Frost on Monday, but no prediction again for a week. The greens so rich and plush. The sound of the cub, pup pup pup, as it idles through the woods. Fresh coffee in my hand ; a squeak of the steel wheel on the wood wagon chirps about every 20 feet. Off to the left I spook a Pileated woodpecker that jumps and flies it's fighter jet patter through the woods. They are busy hammering away for bugs and marking next years trees for me. Then something catches my eye. Off the path about 20 - 25 feet. Wasn't there the other day that I remember. Looks like an old winter hat maybe; Weird , curious; I pull the throttle back , slide her into neutral and roll to a stop. Set the coffee on the hood, right hand on the tire and slide off to see. Sipping coffee and looking at the sun cutting the early moist air through the trees. I walk over enjoying the wet leaves smell, and avoid the darn prickers of prim rose. Then I notice it is breathing. Curled in a tight circle. Tail over it's nose. Only the slightest of movement. One eye watches. The fawn can only be hours old. Maybe less. I look around for Mom. Certain she is near watching, worried. I stop. Yep this is what it is all about. Dear Lord thank you for putting me here at this moment, at this place in your care. I am one luck guy. Stepping back slowly I head back to the pup pup pup sound... grab the steer column and pull myself back in... slider her into first and with a smallest white puff ... life moves on. Sip your coffee and have a great day guys.... this is what it is all about. Cheers, Joe

You may have noticed that local airports normally don't draw large crowds of spectators. So why do 20,000 people turn out every year for the Wings Over Wine Country air show?
It's because these planes aren't everyday passenger carriers. These aircraft come soaring out of history and into the present, roaring right over your head. In fact, you might see them in the Sonoma County skies from nearby even if you don't go to the air show.
"You'll see up to 17 P-51s flying overhead," said Wayne Seamans, the event's chairman this year, "and it's going to be an amazing sight. People turn out to see the P-51s. It's a unique aircraft."
The P-51 Mustang, a fighter plane introduced in 1942 and used in World War II and the Korean War, will be the star of the show Aug. 17-18 at the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport.
"The P-51 is a beautiful airplane. It had a vast superiority in combat," said pilot Lynn Hunt, who will fly a P-51 in the air show.
"It had an extremely long range, which endeared it to bomber pilots, because the Mustang fighter escort would stick with the bombers all the way to Germany and back," he said.
Plans call for a B-25 Mitchell bomber to fly with the P-51s at Wings Over Wine Country, Seamans said.
"The B-25 is a medium-sized bomber, not as big as the B-17 or the B-24, but it's obviously much bigger than the fighters, and it's fun to watch it fly," he added.
Aeronautics fans find the "war birds" fascinating, not for their destructive capacity, but for the rapid technological advancement they represented at the time, spurred by the pressure of war, Hunt explained.
"These airplanes, when they were first introduced, were on the cutting edge of technology," Hunt said. "And I don't have an issue with their military past. I look at the incredible job they did to keep this country free."
In all, there will be about 30 different planes flying during the two-day Wings Over Wing Country show, as well as exhibits, demonstrations, children's activities, food and wine.
"We'll have the Pratt & Whitney R-4360, largest piston engine ever made, on display," Seamans said. "It's 20 times the size of a car engine, and it was used in bombers from the '50s to '80s. It's mounted on a stand, but it runs. It's a little loud."
Enthusiasts find that the vintage aircraft fire their imaginations, Seamans said.
"Airplanes allow you to go places you couldn't go otherwise," he said. "Humans don't have wings."

OK here's the first of the positional break downs, I haven't altered the content very much on this one, but I might look to integrate some of the club based stuff at the bottom of ' Chelsea: The Transfer Market Story 2013 and beyond' later on.
Right Back:
We've recently been linked with Kyle Walker, Wallace from Fluminense (who we 40% own the contract of) and (occasionally) Sergio Ramos.
With Branislav Ivanovic, Cesar Azpilicueta, Todd Kane, Kenneth Omeruo, Joshua Debayo Temitayo-Olaoluwe Aina ( Josh Aina), Nortei Nortey, Alastair Gordon and Samuel Bangura I struggle to see any real need for any right backs, Walker is good but unlikely to leave Spurs, Wallace would be a good addition from what I've seen of him, but we don't need him in January. Ramos is the interesting one here, he is Real Madrid in many ways, but Abramovich is a noted long term Ramos admirer and Ramos does seem unhappy at RM . I'm not sure I believe he'll be leaving Madrid in January and even if he does I'm not sure I want him at Chelsea, but I don't think he can be 100& discounted.
A few others to think about: Serge Aurier (young Cote D'Ivoire and Toulouse star), Francisco José Rodríguez Gaitán (young Real Madrid and Spain sensation) and Ximo Navarro (22 year old Spaniard at RCD Mallorca seen by Barca as their ideal Dani Alves replacement)

Elgin's Arie Williams celebrates with teammates after Friday's 60-58 win against Las Vegas Centennial in the semifinals of the Elgin Tournament. | Michael Jarecki ~ For Sun-Times Media
Elgin pulled off another heart-stopping win Friday, but this time Arie Williams had plenty of help in crunch time.
The Maroons will have a chance to defend their championship at their own Elgin Tournament after engineering a 60-58 semifinal upset of a high-flying Las Vegas Centennial squad led by Stanford recruits Marcus and Malcolm Allen.
Williams, who hit game-winning shots for Elgin (9-6) in the tournament's first two rounds, scored only two of his team-high 24 points in the fourth quarter. Isaiah Butler added 19 off the bench and Eric Sedlack had 13 points, including two on a jumper from the top of the key with 1:10 left that broke a 58-all tie.
"When we're all on our 'A' game, it's a sight to see," Williams said. "Isaiah played a hell of a game and Sedlack pulled big minutes rebounding and doing the dirty work. That last shot he hit in the lane was just perfect."
Marcus Allen (24 points) and Malcolm Allen (17 points) combined for six dunks and accounted for most of the scoring for Centennial (10-2). But Marcus Allen went only 1-for-4 at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and Malcolm Allen missed a fadeaway jumper from just inside the top of the key with two defenders in his face as time expired.
Elgin advances to play crosstown rival Larkin in the championship game at 8:15 p.m. Saturday. The Royals outlasted the Maroons 76-73 in a double-overtime thriller on Dec. 12 at Larkin.
"We need our rematch after that double-overtime loss," Williams said. "That still hurts. We're coming out hungry."
Friday's game started at a breakneck pace as Centennial built a 33-30 lead with 3:35 left in the second quarter. Following an empty Elgin possession, the Bulldogs held the ball near halfcourt for almost three full minutes before Marcus Allen scored on a runner with time running out in the half to make it 35-30 going into the break.
The Maroons trailed throughout the second half until Butler grabbed a defensive rebound and went coast to coast for a runner in the lane to tie the score at 58 with 2:31 left. Following a Bulldogs turnover on the ensuing possession, Elgin patiently worked the ball around before Sedlack found his opening for what turned out to be the game-winning points.
"I got the ball from Arie and I saw his guy was covering him too hard, so I just turned with a pivot and made a shot fake," said Sedlack, who had seven points in the fourth quarter. "My guy didn't jump, so I just took the shot."
Austin Turley had seven rebounds, five assists and four steals for Centennial. He also scored his team's final points on a layup with 4:18 left as the Bulldogs went cold down the stretch.
"Man, what is it about this gym with these (Elgin) guys?" said Centennial coach Todd Allen, a 1988 Elgin graduate. "We executed our game plan pretty well. Our job was obviously to stop Arie and we did that for the most part. But in the second half they had guys step up."
Centennial (10-2)
Mar. Allen 9 3-8 24, Mal. Allen 7 2-2 17, Berkley 4 0-0 9, Thompson 0 3-4 3, Prado 1 0-0 3, Turley 1 0-0 2. Totals 22 8-14 58.
Elgin (9-6)
Williams 9 3-3 24, Butler 9 0-0 19, Sedlack 4 3-4 13, Sitter 1 0-0 2, Dunner 1 0-0 2.
Centennial 22 13 14 9 -- 58
Elgin 19 11 15 15 -- 60
Three-point goals -- LVC: 6 (Mar. Allen 3, Mal. Allen, Prado, Berkley). Elgin: 6 (Williams 3, Sedlack 2, Butler). Fouled out -- None.

Following are some whispers we've been hearing from around the AFC East:
• Patriots DL Mike Wright has not played since sustaining a concussion in Week 11. He is still the team leader with his 5½ sacks, and since he hasn't been put on injured reserve yet, there is still a chance he could return for the postseason. While the team has not lost since he's been out and Vince Wilfork has had another Pro Bowl season, it'd be nice for Wright to be able to give Wilfork a spell. Wright is a much better pass rusher, and ideally Wilfork wouldn't be playing as many snaps.
• CB Darrelle Revis, C Nick Mangold and OLT D'Brickashaw Ferguson were all named to the AFC Pro Bowl team, but many felt that the most deserving Jet was not invited to Hawaii. Brad Smith leads the AFC in kickoff-return yards and has the best average of any returner in the league with more than 25 runbacks. He's also brought back two kicks for touchdowns, but he was left off the AFC roster as the kick returner in favor of Titans rookie Marc Mariani.
• The Dolphins have to be pleased with the production they have gotten out of rookie OLB Koa Misi. There were concerns about his ability to get to the quarterback coming out of college, and Miami still might want a better threat there for next season to complement Cameron Wake, but Misi has found a way to record 4½ sacks in his rookie campaign while also recovering two fumbles.
• Two rookies who started to make an impact at the end of the season — WR Naaman Roosevelt and OLB Arthur Moats — should emerge as big-time players for the Bills in 2011, according to SS Donte Whitner. "Naaman is a local product from here in Buffalo; he's a very hard worker. He's not the biggest guy, he's not the fastest guy, but he has really good hands and he's a really smart guy — he knows the system, so I look for him to play a pivotal role on this team next year," Whitner said. "And Arthur Moats, he's been able to put some pressure on the quarterback, get to the QB, get some turnovers for us and he's been very enthused about everything. So as he gets more games under his belt, you'll see him blow up on the defensive side of the ball."
