text: Books February 18, 2002 Issue If You Ask Me Etiquette through the ages. By Judith Thurman Table of Contents In 1844, one Peter Parley published an etiquette book with a title that cannot be improved upon: "What to Do, and How to Do It." The nineteenth century was the heyday of the genre, although it has been with us since ancient times. The Cumaean Sibyl, like her modern counterparts, counselled the lovelorn, the infertile, the vengeful, the victimized, the credulous, the desperate, and the physically challenged. She also had a large roster of celebrity clients and did the occasional channelling job for a politician. Her do's and don'ts for statesmen were set down in hexameter, and could be consulted only by permission of the Roman Senate. It was she who appeared before King Tarquin offering to sell him her nine books of prophecies for a sum that properly reflected their uniqueness, and which, as I recall, was to be paid in gold. He balked at the price, so she burned the first three books and offered him the remaining six for the same amount. He balked again, and she burned the next three, still refusing him a discount. The outnerved Tarquin gave in. There is less distance than one might suppose between the exaltation of an oracle and her bottom line. The Sibyl delivered her inspired pronouncements in a sacred frenzy or trance that was possibly drug-induced and for which she would now almost certainly be counter-medicated by a patriarchal mental-health establishment. By the Renaissance, the oracle was still a confidante of princes, but the hallucinogenic hanky-panky had been eliminated. Baldassare Castiglione, the author of "The Book of the Courtier" (1528), offered lofty yet sensible advice on war, fashion, love, statecraft, and small talk. While he encouraged such refined manly recreations as playing tennis and running bulls, he counselled his readers against turning cartwheels or tightrope walking. As the republican revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries gave the social fabric a new horizontal stretch, advice on conduct became a growth industry, dominated by men in black: unimpeachably sober preachers and pedagogues.The Puritans, of course, were the most tireless of self-improvers. A number of their tracts address nose-blowing and nail-biting. Another hectors the rowdy falconers who were bringing their birds to church. In the worldlier upper reaches of Colonial American society, it was chic to be the author of a "courtesy book," and George Washington himself penned a hundred and ten "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation," including "Sing not to yourself with a humming noise, nor drum with your fingers or feet." But the etiquette manual as we know it—a primer on style and propriety written for an anxious, nouveau-riche reader by a confident grande dame of impeccable social credentials—arose with the genteel aspirations of the urban middle class. Ours is an age of fluid boundaries and of a drastically lowered general threshold of embarrassment, so one might suppose that the genre would be obsolete. Luckily for its practitioners, the general threshold of common sense has declined just as drastically, even as the market for advice has become more diversified. The repressed millions who suffer from feeling overcivilized and denatured must be taught how to assert themselves in bed, at the office, or with their in-laws. The barbaric multitudes must be counselled on bridling their narcissistic urges. Those caught in the middle need help with private-school interviews, senile parents, and fish forks. But certain principles of polite behavior are immutable. For Jane Austen, as for the inestimable Emily Post, who published her great opus in 1922, and for Miss Manners, that most charming and excellent lady—the only contemporary writer on the subject of etiquette who deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence with them—there is little measurable difference between moral rightness and social correctness: both are aspects of a higher virtue known as civility. It is perhaps by now obvious that I am an incurable know-it-all myself. This deplorable tendency was first observed by my fifth-grade teacher, who dubbed me Miss Importance, and by the mothers of my childhood friends, who trembled at the phrase "Judy says," usually uttered in defiance of their own better judgments. Time has chastened my pretensions, or most of them, which never had a pedigree. I grew up in a lower-middle-class Queens neighborhood, and the most esoteric cultural advantage I derived from it is that of knowing the rush-hour shortcuts to both New York airports. My interest in the finer points of etiquette dates from the early nineteen-seventies, when I shared a flat in London with a rebel deb who worked as the roadie for a rock group. "Don't worry," she told me, the first time I was invited to spend a weekend at her titled parents' Georgian manor in Kent. "As you are both left-handed and American, no one will expect you to have any manners at all." Etiquette isn't quite as unstable as fashion—it changes at about the rate that men's clothes do—but not long ago a friend in her twenties, whose roommate was planning a formal wedding, solicited my advice on a predicament Mrs. Post never had to face. The bride's parents were divorced; her mother had remarried and her father was undergoing but had not yet completed gender-reassignment surgery, and was living as a woman. How should the invitation be worded? Mrs. Peyton Place and Ms. Eve (formerly Mr. Adam) deMan request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Perdita? Was the father's desire to wear a dress to the ceremony, at which she would be escorting her daughter down the aisle, reasonable and appropriate, even though the groom's family was apoplectic at the prospect? And should that dress be color-coördinated with the outfits of the bride's other attendants? I thought to consult the recently published American edition of "Debrett's New Guide to Etiquette & Modern Manners" (St. Martin's; $27.95), by the late John Morgan, which covers almost every imaginable contingency at a civil or religious service in the United Kingdom, managing deftly to convey disapproval of pregnant brides, improvised vows, thermographed invitations, cameras in church ("Every little human act seems to require instant reportage"), and "humanist" commitment rites, especially those performed aboard hot-air balloons. Mr. Morgan is fastidiously ecumenical, but he does note, rather oddly, "Don't expect ethnic dress at a Jewish wedding." Does he think his readers might harbor expectations of sandalled virgins bearing water jugs? One learns, however, that British matrimonial law is considerably more restrictive than our own. According to Mr. Morgan, having gender-reassignment surgery does not circumvent the English ban on "same-sex" unions. But he has nothing on formal wear for a member of the wedding who is between sexes. Any closed society, high or low, has codes of behavior that serve to distinguish outsiders from initiates. We pass through Customs to enter a foreign port in more senses than one. The charm of the best etiquette and conduct manuals is that they are a form of travel literature—Baedekers that explain the local currency and exotic native practices of a place, an era, or a class to which one does not belong, and they make entertaining reading even for a homebody. Knowing or caring to know that it is correct to eat asparagus with one's fingers and a ripe peach with a knife and fork does not automatically make one a snob. The word "snob," by the way, has not always meant someone who looks down upon his "inferiors." He was once someone who was looked down upon by his "betters." Some etymologists believe that the word is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase sine nobilitate, without nobility, and that before the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century it was used on ships' manifests to suggest which passengers did not deserve to sit at the captain's table; on the footman's list at fashionable parties to indicate that a guest had no title to announce; or on the student rosters of Oxford and Cambridge, flagging the commoners. The ambitious, ingratiating, and mimetic upstart who worms his way into a patrician milieu was becoming, in the same period, the hero of Romantic fiction, and would dominate the novel well into modern times—usually as a character but sometimes as an author. Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell (pronounced "Pole," with a languid drawl) are two of the many old-school snobs who were greater experts on the nuances of hauteur than their nob classmates. The market for instruction in those nuances seems inexhaustible on both sides of the Atlantic, although the concept of a nuance tends to blur as one travels west. Mr. Morgan, who writes with the brisk intolerance one would expect of a columnist on manners for the Times of London, suggests that to be "obsequious" and to be "pushy," both tasteless, are among the snob's typical mistakes. Unlike most of his New World confrères, who specialize in upbeat life-style therapy, he never hesitates to judge behavior as vulgar or rude, and his notion of political correctness is Tory conventionality. "It is bad manners," in Mr. Morgan's book, "to expel any liquid from any orifice in public, and breast-feeding is no different." "Girl ushers" at a formal wedding "give the church the feeling of a cinema." The "worst possible" offense—even greater than presuming to first-name familiarity with a peer or peeress one has just met—is indiscretion with exalted confidences: "If you have conversed privately with a member of the Royal Family at a public occasion, you might be approached for details. Never give anything away. Remember that the most innocent comment made by the Royal Family can be misused mischievously and perniciously by duplicitous journalists, many of whom have their own very unsavoury agendas." Similar advice was offered at the penultimate fin de siècle to acquaintances of a suspiciously cosmopolitan young scribbler who was thought by some to be both obsequious and pushy: Marcel Proust. One does not have to be a snob to feel queasy at the prospect of being cooped up on a tour bus with the rustic boobs, or perhaps madrasah students, whom Charlotte Ford must have had in mind when she devised the "Travel Protocol Quiz" for her new primer, "21st-Century Etiquette" (The Lyons Press; $24.95). "An essential for a world traveler is: A. Money, B. Passport, C. Tickets, D. All of the above." Answer: D. Miss Ford cannot be faulted on her knowledge of when and how to unfold a napkin or brush off a grasping service provider, like the plumber who dropped his eyeglasses into her cesspool and demanded reimbursement. But since she is trading on her name, she might at least recall that her family made its fortune giving value for money, and that some of her readers may have toiled at unpleasant tasks, even cesspool maintenance, to earn the price of such wisdom as "Smile, it will make you feel better"; "The key to dining out is that it tastes great without the extra effort"; "What's great about marriage is having that one person with whom you can share your life." While it's a pity that among her "Do's and Don'ts" for dating ("Do seriously consider the advantages of living with someone") she hasn't included the splendidly pithy motto, borrowed from Disraeli, that helped her father, Henry, to weather his extramarital affairs—"Never complain, never explain"—it seems churlish to make biographical surmises about the skimpiness (ten pages) of her chapter on matrimony. Miss Ford prefers to focus on the question of joint bank accounts (approach them "with serious caution") and allowances for the spouse who doesn't work (preferable to begging for pocket money). Her two paragraphs on formal attire at a wedding take the traditional view that "there's only one woman . . . who should be wearing a white dress," but she notes, with sympathy, that "many men look to dressing in a tuxedo as uncreative, like connecting the dots." I wondered if I should suggest that Ms. deMan look to dressing in a kilt, perhaps one by Galliano, as a creative compromise between self-expression and propriety. I am sure that Mrs. Post would have been dismayed by those self-styled contemporary experts on gracious living who serve their readers junk food in sentence form with the rationale that slop is what sells, is what the American public is used to, and is all that it can digest. The hallmark of good breeding has always been simplicity without condescension. Simpleminded garrulity, however, is the hallmark of "The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette" (Doubleday; $32). The original edition, which is to manners what the Toll House cookbook is to haute cuisine, was published in 1952, the year that Dwight Eisenhower was elected President. In half a century, it has sold more than three million copies and been revised twice, most recently in 1995, by Nancy Tuckerman, Jackie Kennedy's former staff coördinator, and Nancy Dunnan, an investment counsellor and Public Radio talk-show host. Doubleday has just announced the arrival in stores of the "50th Anniversary Edition," but before you buy an antiquated reference work you may already own (check under that night table with the broken leg), please note that not a single word in nearly eight hundred flatulent pages has been rewritten or updated for the occasion. Although "The Amy Vanderbilt" is exhaustive on the subject of wedding planning and protocol, and even includes a sample of a tactful thank-you note for a plastic reindeer—"Dear Fiona: . . . It was thoughtful of you to think of David and me"—there is nothing on fathers who have renounced their masculinity while standing on their paternal prerogatives. But if your goal in life is to slink from birth to death without embarrassment, the authors make passable guides—except, perhaps, in handling the delicate situation of the fellow-guest at a cocktail party whose fly is open. They suggest that you discreetly take him aside and whisper the code words "XYZ." How many of you sophisticates can guess what they mean? (a) Let's blow this joint and find a motel. (b) I've got the plutonium you ordered in my briefcase. Have you brought the payment? (c) Shut up—you're putting me to sleep. (d) Examine your zipper. Otherwise, there is no aspect of personal hygiene, family relations, or social intercourse that they consider too elementary not to warrant a frank admonition. To make a good first impression, "be sure there are no unsightly stains on your clothes." New parents are instructed that "a child should be taught to say hello." Anyone planning a dinner party should note that "knives and forks are used for eating European (continental) or American style." It is rude to inquire of a maimed individual how he lost his missing body part, and if you receive an invitation marked "not transferable" you musn't hand it over to someone else. "Obey traffic regulations," because "every life has many crossroads," and there are personal-injury lawyers lurking at most of them. One is obliged to prevent a drunken guest from driving himself home not only out of common decency but "because the host can be sued for serving liquor to an intoxicated person who ends up having an accident." (Should a drunk driver mow down one of your loved ones, try, in your bereavement, "to assume a positive attitude about life.") On a grander note, do not accept an invitation to go foxhunting if you cannot ride, and, if you do accept, "never ride . . . into a stall with a low ceiling." When you retell the story of your weekend in Charlottesville to the guys in your bowling league back in Port Jervis—ever mindful "not to toss or loft your ball into the air"—it would be "ridiculous" to worry whether it is proper to describe your posh friends as "wealthy" or "rich," because such distinctions no longer betray one's class. To be on the safe side, however, just say, "They have lots of money." If one is interested in visiting the raunchier shores of modern romance and is not too picky either about grammar or about the expulsion of liquids from private orifices, there is "The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum" (Broadway; $14.95). The authors, two fetching Canadians, Kim Izzo and Ceri Marsh, deal with the etiquette of courting and copulating in the same chapter because, they explain, "in the world of the Fabulous Girl, which comes first, sex or dating, may change as often as her lipstick." This little manual has several virtues. The authors are realistic about the way that barely literate, hard-drinking, terminally pert, lust-crazed young female predators actually behave in their natural habitat, and they hold their scout troop to an admirable standard of personal responsibility. When you pick up a stranger in a bar and invite him home to bed, an introduction is in order: "That's right, we mean oral sex." The next morning, however disappointing the boy's performance, he is still your guest: "You fucked him, you can pour him a glass of orange juice." I think, however, it's a bit too High Church to insist that you must "share your toothbrush." And, despite their sound, unsentimental views on adultery ("Practice lying"), and on the unseemly greed of brides over thirty who register for gifts, they must be under thirty themselves to suggest that "natural or street light" sets the most flattering mood for a seduction. When they publish "Still Fab at Forty," look for a chapter on pink lampshades. Misses Izzo and Marsh have tailored their "Weddings" section to their readers' attention span—thirteen pages, not including two cartoonish "fictional" sketches narrated by FG (Fab Girl) that bracket every chapter to help "illustrate" its "learning curve." On behalf of my young friend's friend with the transgendered father in sartorial limbo, I searched the section high and low for a useful fashion tip, but found nothing apropos. So I turned to the bible of etiquette books, Lord Chesterfield's letters to his bastard son Philip Stanhope, and to his heir and godson, also Philip Stanhope, which were published in 1774. The Earl was a diplomat, courtier, politician, polyglot, and man of fashion as supremely cynical as he was eloquent, who esteemed gallantry above honor, and appearance above substance, and who promoted self-interest at the expense of loyalty. "Weight without lustre is lead," he told his son, and urged him "to shine, not to weigh." "Manner is all, in everything," he continued. "It is by manner only that you can please, and consequently rise. . . . You had better talk trifles elegantly to the most trifling woman, than coarse inelegant sense to the most solid man." Even in his own times, these "pernicious principles" were reviled, and Dr. Johnson observed that his lordship had the "morals of a whore." But the whore and the wise man judge human nature with the same impartial and, at times, tender disenchantment: "No Man is ridiculous for being what he really is, but for affecting to be what he is not." ♦ Judith Thurman began contributing to The New Yorker in 1987, and became a staff writer in 2000.

An all-night wake began with services at 7:00 p.m. Monday at the school gymnasium. Jake passed away May 19, 2014, in Eagle Butte.www.stoutfamilyfh.com Jake Tobee Longbrake was born on February 23, 1990, in Eagle Butte, S.D., to Delbert and Mona (Marcelle) Longbrake. He was raised on the Nordvold Ranch on Abear Creek, South of Eagle Butte, with his sister, Ann'D and brothers, Weston, Kel and KC. Jake's childhood was all about adventure. His school days were spent at Cheyenne-Eagle Butte Schools where his outgoing personality made him a favorite among his teachers and classmates. Jake's outgoing personality lead him into numerous activities including AAU wrestling, basketball, boxing, cross country, football, student council, track and the Upward Bound Program. He was a social butterfly remembered for his many antics including petitions to change school policies and wearing his suit and tie every day of Junior High. During this time, Jake spent his summers on the go. He would head out to stay with Grandma Kelva, Bob and Arliss Keckler who he adopted as his grandparents, Uncle Tom and Aunt Charlene Traversie, and Kevin and Marla Keckler where he became their favorite employee at Northern Plains Sports. All of his friends' families came to expect that Jake may just show up out of nowhere for the night, or the week. He became a special part of the families of Kadyn Drew, Luke Farlee, Kelsie Haskell and Spencer Peterson. Jake made ordinary branding, camping, fishing, rodeo and river days entertaining with his blunt humor. In May 2007, Jake enlisted in the South Dakota Army National Guard. He was assigned to Unit CO A 35th EN BN 2nd Platoon "Punishers" and graduated from basic training in August 2008 from Fort Leonardwood, Missouri. Jake returned to finish his senior year graduating with C-EB's Class of 2008. After graduation, Jake returned to Fort Leonardwood to complete his AIT. After AIT, Jake tried a few different jobs including firefighting and BIA Land Ops Range Aide before deciding to follow in Delbert and Weston's footsteps and became a power lineman for Boldt Power Company. In May 2011, the 200th Engineering Company was called to active duty to Afghanistan. Jake took his deployment in stride, considering his company his family, and took his fun loving personality overseas where many of them credit him with keeping them laughing and sane during their year deployment. Jake enrolled in the Power Lineman program at Mitchell Tech and graduated in May 2013. He then took a job with Timberline Company working in North and South Dakota. He had recently begun work for Keller's Construction. The adventurous ways that Jake developed in his childhood continued right into his adult life where his experiences became really "wiiild" as "Uncle" wasn't scared of a good time or any thrill. He lived fast often referring to his pace as "a lifestyle not made for the weak," never in one spot too long, charming the masses no matter where he landed. Jake never entered a bar he didn't like, met a man he wouldn't turn into his "nephew", or a woman he wouldn't consider taking home. Jake is survived by his parents Delbert and Mona Longbrake of Eagle Butte; his sister, Ann'D (Jon) of McLaughlin; brothers Weston (Jamie) of Coolidge, Arizona, Kel (Stephanie) of Pierre and KC of Eagle Butte. His nephews Lane Longbrake of Belle Fourche; Jayden and Jackson Taken Alive of McLaughlin; Kelby Longbrake of Pierre and niece Kessa May Longbrake of Pierre. His grandparents Pete Longbrake of Dupree; Faye Longbrake of Eagle Butte and Russell & Mary Garrett of Tucson, Arizona; his uncles Jake (Cindy) Longbrake of Dupree, Bud Longbrake of Dupree, Marty Pavatea of Browning, Montana.

See what I mean…
This is a chalk outline used in the first season of Law and Order - seriously Law and Order, it looks like Gumby was murdered!!
Maebh (Irish spelling of Maeve). She came to live with us a couple of days ago. She's three and small for her age. Whoever had her before didn't take very good care of her and she has MBD. She has a lower jaw malformation and some mobility issues. She's also a little timid but getting a bit more brave. Her appetite is great - greens and mealworms last night and mealworms and crickets today. I think she will settle in just fine.
The child of a KKK member touches his reflection in an African American police officer's riot shield during a demonstration. (1992)
This photo shocked me and then it made me angry and then sad. Do not teach children to hate - they deserve much better than that.

There's no perfect landing page but there are "best practices" in making your hotel landing page convert. We will take a look on conversion elements of a hotel landing page. Reason: I've seen some hotel landing pages and I know that these hotels have been using AdWords to channel traffic to these pages. I was horrified. Bad navigation, no clear message, bad place for booking forms, no trust elements. People are simply wasting money. So I've decided to list elements and landing page structure for AdWords and other PPC campaigns, but this example can also be used as a regular hotel page. I hope that this will help other designers, webmasters and hotel/agency/reseller/affiliate to boost conversions.

The thing is, websites are like living organisms, they grow, change, get old. This blog post is an effort to see what are the necessary steps to redesign your website and meet your goals.

How to Reduce Bounce Rate, Engage Your Audience and Drive Conversions with Your Blog
That's a really long title of the blog post. Don't be afraid to write even such long titles. You can find other great tips on copywriting on Copyblogger. The reason I am writing this blog post is because I've been doing the small consulting job for a friend who has one startup and who asked me to help him with the conversion elements on his site. The first usual suspect was the blog post and I will tell you (and show you) this site on the end of this post (don't scroll down too fast).

Just 20 Best Home, Signup and Landing Pages to Drool Over
A quick intro: I was writing a list of blog posts I wanted to do and this one came. I started to do the research, I recalled the best ones. Also, I didn't want to make a list of "101 best landing pages" or "250 pricing pages" or "999 beta signups". These are the best in my opinion with the explanation of reasons why I love them.

Legendary journalist Bill Moyers will make a rare encore appearance and return to the Truman Library Institute's Howard and Virginia Bennett Forum on the Presidency to speak publicly - for the first time - about his close association with LBJ, the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the intertwined legacies of Presidents Johnson and Truman.
Moyers was appointed associate director for the newly created Peace Corps in 1961. When LBJ took office after Kennedy's assassination, he became a special assistant to Johnson. He played a key role in the Great Society legislative task forces and was a principal architect of LBJ's 1964 presidential campaign. Moyers acted as the president's informal chief of staff from 1964 until 1966; from 1965 to 1967, he served as White House press secretary.
This exceptional event will feature a program by Bill Moyers, followed by a conversation with the live audience, moderated by former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey and will be held at unity Temple on the Plaza.

In 1946, a woman named Mrs. Andrews took this picture of her deceased daughter's gravestone in Queensland, Australia. Her daughter had been just 17 when she'd died the previous year. When the film was developed, Mrs. Andrews was shocked to see the image of an infant girl looking directly…

The Schreiber auditorium, brimming with district teachers, exploded in applause and cheers as audience members heard the announcement they were waiting for: A teacher contract agreement had been reached. Completed moments before the Aug. 8 board of education began, the agreement came after more than a year of negotiations and considerable community angst.
Forty-five Optimist sailors from the Manhasset Bay area and neighboring communities descended on the Port Washington YC on Saturday, July 22, geared up and ready to go sailing to support a worthy cause, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. By the end of the day, some very tired and soggy sailors had raised over $13,000 to help grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. And somewhere along the way, each and every young sailor learned that making a difference in another's life is not only fun but very rewarding.
As the summer comes to a close, all the junior sailing programs end for the season, and the sailors plan to gear up for another school year. Some may sail during the fall season when the winds on Long Island Sound and Manhasset Bay are good, and some may even opt to sail with the frostbite fleet during the winter months. But in any case, all of the young sailors will eagerly await another season of sailing with their respective yacht clubs.

Lane Kiffin becomes offensive coordinator at....Alabama?!
1/11/14 in NCAAF | Eric_ | 7716 respect
Well, Kiffin has found work again. It's not a head coaching job, but it's about as high as you can get otherwise. Alabama, of all places, has hired Kiffin as its offensive coordinator. Just like that, the most hated man in college football will be calling plays for the premiere program in the sport.
Someone who knows college football can hopefully explain the reasoning behind the hire, because presumably Nick Saban knows what he's doing here. I prefer the explanation that Saban has decided to go full evil with Alabama. That, or he didn't want to be the most hated coach on his staff anymore.

With the season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice a mere day away, Bret Michaels looks forward to attending the live broadcast of the show on Sunday night to compete for the title – though his main concern continues to be his health.
As Michaels works to regain his strength after suffering several recent scares – including a "warning stroke" and a brain hemorrhage – the musician, 47, is careful not to take any "undue risks" with his recovery process.
"Bret is a very passionate person and refuses to live his life curled up in a ball wondering if or when something else might happen," the rocker's spokesperson Janna Elias said in a statement posted to Michaels' official Web site Friday.

Re: Boot to Windows partition quickly
It's also fairly easy to pull the password from your keychain if you don't want to have to enter it each time but you don't want to store it in plain text either. I don't have access to the details right now, but using Keychain Scripting it was easy for me, as an Applescript noob, to figure it out. If anyone wants help using Keychain Scripting, just reply to this and I will post an example when I have time.
Re: Boot to Windows partition quickly
Yes, please do post that code when you get a chance. Thanks!
Re: Boot to Windows partition quickly
Well, turns out Apple has removed Keychain Scripting in Lion, but Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater software has developed a scriptable alternative that you can download.

How do you stay on top of things when you're running a business that's gone from three to 30 employees in the past 12 months, you're back to back with meetings and pulling all nighters trying to launch a new product? I asked three crazy busy tech entrepreneurs – CEO of iphone repair army, iCracked AJ Forsythe, Steve Jillings, CEO of verification software company, TeleSign and Max Nalsky CEO of task management business Pyrus how they make it work.
Hollie Slade: Which apps and software do you use consistently?
AJ Forsythe: "Alfred is tool for Mac that allows me to find nearly any piece of information that I need (locally or on the web) in seconds. Mac OS X Yosemite has included something similar, but I'm a huge fan of Alfred. Leftronic is a really cool analytics dashboard that we use for internal motivation and to keep everyone informed about the daily performance of our company's various functions."
Steve Jillings: "There are a number of apps that I use consistently that are really important to me. I travel extensively so a lot of them revolve around travel: Tripit is one of my favorites, it keeps all of my travel related information in one simple-to-access and understand place. Tripit alerts are awesome, usually alerting me to an issue or delay before an airline ever would."
"The American Airlines app is invaluable also. Concur's expense application is great and makes it so much easier to capture receipts and get them into the system, and it also integrates with Tripit. I now use Uber all over the world, which is a great time saver and money saver (saving on researching local cab firms, for example). Myself, my family and my team all use WhatsApp extensively as well. It's really easy to create groups and share information."
Max Nalsky: "I use Word, Excel, Chrome, and Skype daily. What's really useful is Notes app on Mac, where I'm writing this. It's fast and it syncs seamlessly across devices. Sometimes you need something quick, simple and focused to capture your ideas."
Slade: Is there a gadget besides your phone or computer you love using?
Forsythe: "My Pebble watch is incredible. It allows me to remain hyper-connected without the need to pull out my phone."
Jillings: "I recently replaced my laptop and tablet with a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. It has been the best device I have ever used. It's got a compact design, the ability to use all typical office productivity tools and a battery that lasts from LA to London on a flight – which is fantastic. It's truly a laptop replacement, and the iPad definitely is not. I can run every piece of software that my laptop does, it supports multiple monitors and I even use the pen for writing. It does more than a Macbook Air does, let alone an iPad."
Nalsky: "I'm also a private pilot, and in my spare time I like to fly small planes. As a result I am in love with the Garmin G1000. It's a modern avionics system from a company that people mostly know for making in-car GPSes. It shows you all flight parameters in a very ergonomic way – airspeed, attitude, heading, vertical speed, KTAS, Vx, Vy, temperature and so on. It saves on fuel because it helps to lean the engine effectively. It knows all the private and public airport locations and frequencies you'd need. It has weather and traffic links, meaning that you can see winds aloft at any attitude and nearby aircraft positions. It even has built-in autopilot and two large displays."
Slade: How are you at multi-tasking? Do you have any time saving tricks or life hacks?
Forsythe: "I'd like to believe that I'm pretty adept at multi-tasking though there are certainly others who are better. As for time-saving tricks, I try to schedule meetings dealing with similar topics back-to-back that keeps everyone focused and efficient, then move on to the next area and repeat. Also, canoeing to work every morning in 5 minutes really eliminates the BS of commuting."
Jillings: "Given how crazy busy business and family life is today, the notion of multi-tasking doesn't come close to adequately describing reality. Most people use a lot of the tools available such as task managers and 'productivity apps.' I still find the most important tool to me is being able to prioritize. You have to be brutal about the things that are important and get them done – everything else can either be delegated or dropped. One thing that is really important to me is getting a head start on the day, so I do get up early, between 4.30am and 5.30 am each day."
Nalsky: "Email used to kill a lot of my time. It's easy to skip an important message, respond to the wrong thread, or get confused as to which one is the most recent response if someone's forwarded or responded to an email at a peculiar hour."
"So my biggest trick is to actually stay off email as much as I can. I ensure all my tasks arrive in (my company) Pyrus. It's similar enough to email that it's quick and effective but also allows me to prioritize. While I won't be as bold as to say "everyone should move to Pyrus," I think that many businesses rely too much on email as a way of finding what tasks to do. There has to be a better way. I've taught everyone I work with that if it's not in Pyrus I won't get it done – not because I'm pushing my own company, but because otherwise I won't be able to prioritize my day."
Slade: How have you set up your office? What's your workspace like?
Forsythe: "I don't face the door, nor do I have my back to it. It's arranged for people to move in and out or sit comfortably – whichever the situation calls for. I have my fish tank next to my desk that serves as the basis of the decor and is both a passion of mine but also interesting to people that come in. There's also a giant balcony overlooking the lake with some comfortable chairs to go with it."
Jillings: "My office is pretty simple. I've got a docking station for the Surface, a large screen, keyboard and printer. I do have a 6 person meeting room table in my office with a projector and multiple white boards. That way I'm not moving between rooms if I need to host multiple people for a meeting."
Nalsky: "I am pretty ascetic. I try hard to keep my desk as clean as possible. I store the papers I will need based on the most recent two or three weeks of work. I archive or trash everything else. It seems really simple but it's important to me to have fresh air; I ensure all rooms in the office have proper ventilation and that every window can be opened."
Slade: What's the best advice anyone's given you about business?
Forsythe: "Someone very close to me that I trust deeply told me something that I remind myself and my team of every day: "Every company goes out of business the same way." I find it evokes a different sentiment from each business leader, making them think of the thing that connects them to all the rest of the companies in the world."
Jillings: "You can't kiss all the pretty girls". That was what a very seasoned businessman told me when I was much younger and was trying to do too many things at once. I wanted his advice on how to do all the things I was trying to do at the time and that was what he told me. If you try to do too many things, you'll fail at all of them. Focus on the things that really matter and you'll be successful. It turned out to be great advice."
Nalsky: "Get married. It's a major part of life that's hidden from many young people. You start to look at things differently, you learn about integrity, responsibility and caring for things beyond yourself. These are lessons that carry into all walks of life including but not limited to business."

Chef's Life
A food/reality series featuring Chef Vivian Howard. The series plunges audiences into the kitchen of the restaurant Chef and The Farmer, a highbrow restaurant located in Kinston, NC, one of the most impoverished communities in the US. When Vivian arrives home, she begs local farmers to grow fennel, lemongrass and Jerusalem artichokes - none of which are native to the region. Soon, she realizes that the cooking techniques she learned in New York could be applied to her "grandmother's ingredients," the bounty grown by local farmers. Vivian's recipes are exquisitely assembled to bring out the best in the locally grown fresh ingredients. This is real "southern cooking," anyone can implement into their own lives.
Chef's Life Previous Broadcasts
Shrimp Sells (Episode #202H)
KQED 9: Sun, Oct 12, 2014 -- 11:30 AM
Vivian and Ben head to the beach for their annual summer vacation with the Howard family. Vivian turns up the heat with a bit of friendly competition with her older sisters. Frogmore stew, cooked outside at the beach, of course. She visits a fish camp and learns the heads and tails of fresh shrimp. Back in Kinston, the devil is in the details as Vivian and Ben prepare to open their second restaurant, the Boiler Room, and controversy brews over the bun for the burgers.
Blueberries and Boiling Over (Episode #201H)
KQED 9: Sun, Oct 5, 2014 -- 11:30 AM
After a year recovering from a restaurant fire and re-opening Chef and the Farmer, Vivian and Ben open a burger/oyster bar called the Boiler Room. Vivian boils over with the stress of staffing adjustments, testing new menu concepts and the task of putting 500 pounds of blueberries to good use. She dons a hairnet and bubbles with excitement at the sight of her blueberry BBQ sauce hitting the assembly line. The staff of Chef and the Farmer finally lets off some steam with a growler cocktail and a blueberry BBQ water park extravaganza.

*Sigyn begins her morning in a way that is quickly becoming routine. Walk the dog, get dressed in more professional attire than she wears while dog walking, make coffee and head to her office to start with the never-ending pile of correspondence that grows every time she turns her back. She leaves the door to her office open, now. Just in case she has more unwanted visitors. Or (more likely) there is some fire (sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively) that requires being extinguished while the other grownups are occupied elsewhere. Theo curls up under her desk and sighs, waiting for the boys to wake up so more fun can be had.*
