Wonder if -
*Miller is retiring and KPAM is the station going "All Salem Talk".
*1550 is going "All Salem Talk" with Miller similcasting there in the mornings.
*KPAM will LMA an FM and similcast
Other ideas?Posted on February 25, 2011 - 11:36 AM #
I know they have new pd, but for the last 5 pd's or so it seems that the Miller show has been the only thing untouchable at KPAM even though making the other program changes never changed anything? What's that definition of insanity again? Maybe the new cats at the PAM are going to re-define?Posted on February 25, 2011 - 12:28 PM #
Uh-oh! I think the most likely possibility is that Bob Miller (and possibly Victoria Taft) will be out, and that the 860 schedule will be wall-to-wall Salem talk.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 01:19 PM #
Other ideas?
Thoughts from another armchair observer:
860 goes full-time Salem Talk.
1550 picks up Bob Miller and Victoria Taft until the end of their contracts, while continuing "America's Best Music" during other times.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 02:06 PM #
If Miller and maybe Victoria are out somehow - and all Salem is the answer, expect news folks to be trimmed too. I still Salem on to 1550 is more likely.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 04:01 PM #
I am not a beavers fan but curious to what this would do to the games they broudcast on that station.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 07:26 PM #
Marconi in the AM on 860.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 08:15 PM #
Something is definitely happening at KPAM and I hope it's NOT Bob Miller's retirement! Bob has never sounded BETTER! He didn't sound excited or happy about what he would announce Monday Morning.
This is what "The Bob Miller Show" facebook page says. Additionally it's also happening to Pat Boyle's facebook page. Another great KPAM Air Personality that is in the same boat?....
The Bob Miller Show is moving on Facebook and we don't want to lose you! Follow this link http://www.facebook.com/pages/KPAM-860/142647439130293
and "like" our new Facebook page. We'll still be having the great conversations with you and you will still get to comment on a myriad of topics along with our hosts. So make the change now and follow us on the NEW Facebook page with KPAM 860.
Why would KPAM want to close Bob Miller & Pat Boyle's facebook pages and roll all their friends into a KPAM page? Is KPAM trying to keep Bob & Pat's facebook friends after Monday??? One thing FOR SURE. I'm tuning in KPAM Monday Morning. This could be an Epic Portland Radio Change!Posted on February 25, 2011 - 08:31 PM #
Well, isn't getting you to tune in...what it's all about? What I see going on is nothing more than a new PD correctly trying to leverage the station cume into repeat visits, while making the most of social media. I might be wrong, but what you heard was basically a tease.
Bob and crew do a great show for their target, and that's basically all KPAM's got going for it, but they're way behind the dominant AM station in morning drive right now which is KXL. For all the buzz given to political talk, mornings is their best daypart. That's always been the money daypart for news/talk.
OPB is doing well in the drives and sucking in midday. But their Morning Edition is just barely ahead of KXL in adults. There's a morning drive battle for the news audience in morning drive, and it sounds like it's heating up. It should be.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 08:54 PM #
I hope Bigpuppy is right. I've been listening to Bob and Pat since I was in elementary school at Capitol Hill. Mornings without them are hard to imagine.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 09:23 PM #
Yes. A tease like Bob gave this morning usually means a change, but not a dismissal. If it was a dismissal, this never would have occurrred. Bob will most likely turn up somewhere else. Gotta love teases! It's radio's foundation.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 09:31 PM #
I don't think it's that dramatic...I don't think anybody's going anywhere. Maybe a show's being extended by an hour, or starting later, or adding a feature or a sidekick. But as I said...I could be wrong. That's my specialty.Posted on February 25, 2011 - 09:40 PM #
I haven't talked to Bob about this, but knowing him for 30 years, I can only hazard a guess as to what will be happening tomorrow morning.
He'll finally be able to say "booger" on the air.Posted on February 27, 2011 - 10:52 AM #
...so what you're saying is that either KPAM going to be a Rock station or Bob Miller is moving to Cincinnati.Posted on February 27, 2011 - 12:58 PM #
I don't plan to bother Bob about this either, but I hope he'll be able to continue his occasional Wookie impression.Posted on February 27, 2011 - 01:00 PM #
I'm going to stab a guess, Oregon's voice will be taking on all local contracts until they are up... KPAM going Salem.Posted on February 27, 2011 - 02:41 PM #
I heard a promo on KPAM this morning right around 9:00 that said "starting March 3 ... new lineup..." and I THINK what I heard was Pat Boyle/Tim Hohl (sp?) 5-7 AM and the "Bob Miller Crew" (?) 7-10:00. I hope that's what I really heard. I'd love to hear Pat on her own and to still have Bob too. :DPosted on February 27, 2011 - 03:19 PM #
You got Tim's spelling correctly. He has been the morning news anchor there for some time, but really is a great (and most enjoys being) a field reporter- wish they could afford to use him as that again. The KPAM News Subaru awaits...Posted on February 27, 2011 - 11:50 PM #
I listened for 2 hours, no mention of programing change.Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:16 AM #
It's coming at 7:20AMPosted on February 28, 2011 - 08:16 AM #
At 7.20 this morning, he announced he'll move to 7AM weekdays, starting this Thu, 3 March...7 to 11 AM...sounds like I nailed it... :-)...He said the new KPAM management came up with the idea, "with my imput." "Retirement? Not on your life! I've gor a lot of radio left..."
Best, M.Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:37 AM #
This is really great news. Now, if KPAM can revamp the afternoon and evening drive will local talk...Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:42 AM #
This Is Great News!Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:46 AM #
Cheers to the new mgmt on making a move on the morning show. So what do you do in the afternoon add another local host or add a news block of some sort? I so love playing PD.Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:56 AM #
This is from KPAM Facebook annoucement: KPAM 860
Bob Miller just announced! New changes at KPAM 860 starting this Thursday. First Edition w/Tim Hohl & Pat Boyle starts at 5am. The Bob Miller Show moves to 7a-11a and Victoria Taft stays in her regular time slot from 11a--3p. More great things coming very soon on AM 860 and http://www.kpam.com, The Voice of Portland.
It sounds like more change coming and with the "The Voice of Portland" in there, perhaps it will be all local talk.Posted on February 28, 2011 - 10:30 AM #
So do I get credit for more or less calling it on Friday? (>>I don't think anybody's going anywhere. Maybe a show's being extended by an hour, or starting later)..
It does make sense. If you're trying to stretch local staff to eliminate satellite shows that pull squat, you think like this: 5 AM is a low-cume hour that's not included in the 6-10 drivetime numbers. 6 AM is information-driven, overwhelmed with traffic and wx. 7 is the same but it starts to morph, and 8 it's OK to settle in and get homespun, aw-shucks and Bob-like. Call it the Voice of Portland and put it up against Beck (who's Wu minus the tiger suit) and a burned-out Rush. Bob's pulling 2's in 25-54, a hell of a lot better than the point-zip everything else on the station is getting..why not stretch him into middays?Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:14 PM #
Here's what North America is reading on All Access:
------------------------KPAM/Portland Adds News Block, To Be Local 5a-3p Weekdays------------------------
New PD DENNIS GLASGOW is wasting no time making changes at PAMPLIN Talk KPAM-A/PORTLAND, with a lineup shuffle making the station live-and-local 5a-3p weekdays.
Morning man BOB MILLER will shift two hours later to air 7-11a starting THURSDAY (3/3). The move, displacing FOX NEWS RADIO's JOHN GIBSON, will make room for a two-hour early morning news block, "FIRST EDITION," with TIM HOHL and PAT BOYLE, focusing on local news, weather, and traffic. VICTORIA TAFT's local show remains in place 11a-3p. With the changes, the station is reimaging as "AM 860, THE VOICE OF PORTLAND."
GLASGOW said, "Being local is important to our listeners and PORTLAND, period. We have a bank of talented people here at AM 860, and we'll be using our entire team to play to their strengths. We're excited for our listeners to have TIM and PAT start their day. 'The Dean' of PORTLAND Radio BOB MILLER will have naturally a bigger audience at 7a, as he continues his legendary status in PORTLAND radio."
This appears under the KPAM announcement as the next story on All Access. WEIRD!
-------------------------------WCZX Rebrands - Bob Miller And Suzy Garcia Exit-------------------------------
According to the POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL, CUMULUS AC WCZX (MIX 97)/POUCHKEEPSIE, NY morning host BOB MILLER and midday talent SUZY GARCIA both exit as the station moves in a new direction.
WCZX currently has a tease on http://WWW.MIX97FM.COM letting their listeners know the new sound will launch on THURSDAY (3/3).Posted on February 28, 2011 - 08:38 PM #
"The Voice Of Portland" Was a KXL slogan circa 2000.
Probably used many other times and places.Posted on February 28, 2011 - 10:26 PM #
No, just KXL twice: 1927 & 1999.Posted on March 1, 2011 - 01:27 AM #
To bad they didn't opt for a live and local show from 3 - 7 PM instead of Michael Savage.Posted on March 1, 2011 - 09:18 AM #
Poor Michael Savage, they just don't like him in Portland!

Just a few simple questions. Why March 3? Why not March 1? Why on Thursday? Why not on Monday?
What is the significance of a Thursday, non beginning of month, start?
Just wondering.Posted on March 1, 2011 - 11:56 AM #
Didn't Pat Boyle work with our Bob Miller over at KEX for a few years? Interesting that both stations are introducing new lineups on Thursday, rather than Monday..I wonder how many other stations are springing changes on Thursday? End of sweeps period, maybe?
Best, M.Posted on March 1, 2011 - 04:29 PM #
Maybe they will bring back conservative talk show host/poker player - Victor Boc. I notice he still has his web site up.

Bingo, Msndrspdx. March 3's the first day of the PPM month.Posted on March 1, 2011 - 05:27 PM #
Well I for one am wondering about this Denis Glasgow (KPAM's new producer), and what's up with him. He's making a lot of changes, which may be good, we'll see. One of the changes he's making is on the different radio personalities' Facebook pages, rolling them all into one big KPAM page. So now, instead of hearing comments from individuals like Victoria Taft, or Bob Miller, it's all lumped together, coming from "KPAM" and you have to guess at who is making the comment. He must have been getting feedback from listeners not liking that. So last night he posted on FB's KPAM page, basically telling people to move on and get over it. This is just the way we're doing things, and if you don't like it, you don't have to "like" the FB page. The way he worded it just sounded rude and unprofessional (and he signed his name too, so we know that comment is coming from him). I made a comment saying that it seemed like an unprofessional and rude comment to make to fans of KPAM's individual personalities. So this morning, when I checked my FB, not only was my comment and his original post gone, but I was "unfriended" from the KPAM fan page. What?! I guess I was under the impression that radio is for the listeners, and therefore the FB pages were also for fans of KPAM's personalities. So any seemingly negative comment about the way Dennis is running things must not sit well for him, since it's obviously his own agenda he is pushing.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 08:43 AM #
Fighting with your customers or source of revenue is never a good business model.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 08:45 AM #
Seems to me, forcing everything under KPAM, doesn't really add value. KPAM is only "cool" if it acts that way, and presents content that people think is "cool".
(cool being something worth mindshare, that's all)
Just saying, "hey! We are fucking cool, deal with it!" is laughable.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 08:47 AM #
Put another way:
Bob Miller is worth a hell of a lot more than KPAM is, if one is measuring "cool". If KPAM wants to be cool, on it's own, not just dealing in Bob's brand of "cool", they need to actually do something "cool", not try and present Bob's brand of "cool" as their own.
It don't work that way.
Right now, it's safe to say people listen to KPAM, because that's where the "cool" is. Bob is "cool." That's the basic problem right there. Bob is "cooler" than KPAM, which is why KPAM desired Bob.
The desire to get some of the "cool" is what makes the money, because paying attention to the "cool" means paying attention to the ADS, which are only heard, if the "cool" is worth it! Again, that's why Bob is there.
Attempting to mask where the "cool" is coming from, or trying to get some of the "cool" to rub off like this, just isn't "cool" at all. This is posing, and absolutely shallow, and not "cool".
The product of that?
Less overall "cool". Everybody knows Bob is still "cool", no worries there. But, now the cost of getting to some of Bob's "cool" just went up, with NO VALUE ADDED. Not cool, or put better, Bob's "cool", minus the ADS, which pay for Bob, minus the "not cool" demonstrated here. LOL!!!
Product of that:
Less mindshare, for lack of "coolness" and that will equate to lower numbers, which will equate to less revenue.
Smart move there KPAM. And... wait for it!
Not cool. Heh. Stay cool Bob.
(gets ready to head off to work, and listen to Limbaugh, because he was stupid and said he would)Posted on March 2, 2011 - 08:49 AM #
You know, this could be "cool", if rolled out differently.
So KPAM decides it needs to be "cool" on it's own, so there is some value there. This is actually a great idea, and one I highly recommend. Always good when radio is a venue rather than a mere content outlet. There are lots of content outlets, and a "cool" one, has merit, which equals mind share, which equals revenue. All "cool".
So then, KPAM decides it's going to be "cool" as "the voice of portland". Well, that's great!
KPAM does that, and says so to the people, currently paying attention, because KPAM is dealing in some "cool" that is worth more than the ADS are. Great start.
So KPAM adds value to that, by announcing "the voice of portland", and instead of just roping all the cool underneath to prop that up, without adding any real value, decides to just roll it out, and ask the sources of the current "cool" that is making money, to show their support, and give KPAM a little love.
(ideally planning with the "cool" people to insure that it actually will be "cool", which clearly was not done well, or it would actually be "cool")
The source of "cool" gets to do that, because they get to say what is "cool" and what's not. It's a bitch, but that's how radio personalities actually work.
Edit: They work that way, because who they are and what they think actually matters, or they would not be "cool" enough to pay the bills. Gotta respect that, or risk being, "not cool".
Having done that, some moves to KPAM, that they LET THE COOL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT OPENLY AND HONESTLY, will actually infer some "cool" to KPAM, because the people will hear the "cool" people, actually think this is "cool", because it really would be. Everybody knows that "cool" people don't just hang out with, or get associated with stuff that's "not cool", unless they are forced to. See how that works?
From there build up "the voice of portland", and let them all join up as the "cool" people they are, making "the voice of portland", and KPAM, "cool", and the value just goes up, with few to no downsides, but for a producer who feels they need to own something they currently do not, which is the "cool". Comments coming from "KPAM" aren't "cool", why? Because the person reading the comment doesn't know which source of cool the comment came from, which makes it "not cool". Bitch, I know, but somebody has to say it, and I'm on the free gig, so I will say it with no worries.
"cool" can be inferred, and made, which is what producing really is, but it can't just be moved and or aggregated like that, because it's just not cool, because it's just not real. Sorry. It's got to be real to be cool, and that means getting Bob, et al. to actually think it's "cool", so they can say it to the people, inferring some actual "coolness" to the effort as a whole.
(now headed off to Limbaugh doom)Posted on March 2, 2011 - 09:13 AM #
Shalypa: I'd like to believe you but you come on this board for the first time and say things about someone you can't prove (convenient), and you don't post under your name. How do we know you're not another Program Director or personnel from another station wanting to spin this thread in a different direction?Posted on March 2, 2011 - 09:18 AM #
Missing, your posts were really, well, cooooool!Posted on March 2, 2011 - 09:20 AM #
Hey Shalypa the same thing happened to me!
My original response to his rude message had been "Dear Mr. Glasgow, Thank you for the warm, endearing, grammatically-correct welcome." (It was full of grammar errors)
And this morning I 'liked' the page again, yet I'm unable to like or post or comment on anything! I've been blocked!
I'm usually pretty quiet and a follower of rules but this is rubbing me the wrong way. I've listened to Bob since I was in second grade, and I'm almost 40!Posted on March 2, 2011 - 11:10 AM #
Not cool.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 11:16 AM #
I don't care much for Facebook, and I don't know for certain the motivations of KPAM's management in consolidating the pages. Applying Occam's razor, however, I would hazard the guess that from management's point of view, having all of these individual pages is a bad thing because it de-emphasizes the notion that all of these different personalities are on one radio station. From such a point of view, having individual host pages puts forth the notion that the station is running a "block format," and thus encourages listeners to tune in for a favorite program but not stay with the station after that program ends.
Having said that, I still hold that it is stupid to do trite, unprofessional things like unfriending listeners and making angry comments that are insulting to people who visit the Facebook page.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 11:39 AM #
I don't know Shalypa, but you can find her and her story under her "real name" on Bob Miller Show facebook page, as well as mine.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 11:40 AM #
They may have "consolidated" the FB pages but you can still "Like" or "friend" both Bob and Victoria on their personal pages, so I am not sure what the issue is.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 11:55 AM #
Craig - I can prove what he said, as I cut and pasted his comments from another listener who cut and pasted it to FB. True that I don't have my response to him saved. I mean, how was I to know that I would be unfriended, and the comments deleted? To me, it seems convenient for Mr. Dennis Glasgow to get rid of evidence of his unprofessionalism like that.
The reason I came on this board for the first time and made a user name is because I was annoyed about the comments he made, and then his censoring user comments (even though I made them politely too), and then deleting the person (and now it sounds like shougmom had the same experience too) so they can't make any more comments. And I didn't know it was a requirement to post your real name here. As I'm looking through most people's comments, they don't look like real names either. And as shougmom said, you can find my real name on the Bob Miller FB page if you care to look. There's certainly a whole lot of discussion going on over there over this as well. But... it sounds like those pages will all be gone by tomorrow anyway, making everyone's comments quietly go away, and making sure that we won't make any more.
dodger - the issue is (1) those pages are going away tomorrow, according to Dennis Glasgow, and now everything will come from KPAM as a whole, with no distinction between the different personalities. And (2) the rudeness in general of the radio producer to KPAM's fans.
shougmom - thanks for posting too And believe it or not, I am usually pretty quiet about this stuff too. In fact, this is the first time I've spoken out on a message board about something like this, or on a FB page either, as a matter of fact!Posted on March 2, 2011 - 12:52 PM #
Shalypa... Craig is a fixture on this board which caters to the few folks who are still in the radio broadcasting industry, the many who have found new ways to be productive ("add value" ... I love that term, Missing) and the multitude who just like the medium... so those in the industry or "divorced" from the industry have seen lots of things happen with respect to the competitive process. ... The question was really innocent...
And yes, there is no requirement to disclose who you are but new posters with clear pseudonymns posting about particular people in the industry tend to attract attention.Posted on March 2, 2011 - 01:37 PM #

Bolts' Insider: Keys to the Game
The Lightning landed yesterday afternoon in a bit of a snowstorm in Toronto. Although it wasn't too cold when everyone got off the plane, the snowflakes were flying and it looked like a snow-globe. Tonight's game will kick off a three-game Canadian road swing during which the Lightning will look to keep their momentum going. The Bolts have won three of their previous four games and play a Maple Leafs team which has struggled of late, dropping five straight.
The Lightning have been quite successful in Toronto lately, going 5-1-3 at the Air Canada Centre during their previous nine trips. I think everyone remembers the end of last season when Steven Stamkos netted his 59th goal in Toronto in the season's second last game. Looking back at it now, it was clearly pivotal for him to reach the mark of 60 in Winnipeg the next and final game.
Cory Conacher mentioned to the media that he is pretty excited to play in front of his family and friends tonight. It will be the first time that the rookie plays in Toronto. He is a native of Burlington, Ontario which is a short 25-minute drive down the highway from the Air Canada Centre.
On the injury front, Ryan Malone did not make the trip to Canada. Malone suffered a left shoulder injury on Monday night when Zack Rinaldo hit him during the third period. He is expected to be out of the line-up for an extended period. Victor Hedman took the morning skate and said he is going to give it a try in warm-ups and see how he feels. Hedman's importance to the line-up cannot be over-stated considering how much ice time he logs.
TV: Sun Sports
Radio: AM 970 WFLA
We're going streaking! – Teddy Purcell and Ondrej Palat have both tallied goals in back-to-back games for the Lightning. After slowing down production wise a few weeks ago, Purcell has returned to form over the past few games.
Mind the Net – Both goaltenders right now for the Lightning have been rock solid. Anders Lindback hasn't allowed more than two goals in a game in each of his past six starts. When Mathieu Garon has been called upon the past few weeks, he's given the Bolts a chance to win.

From Readers: Maude's Mondrian Kitchen
Speaking of amazing reader-submitted painting projects, Maude sent in her inspiring Mondrian-themed kitchen this afternoon. She says:
Hey there! I wanted to share with you some pictures of my Mondrian kitchen wall. As a big Mondrian fan, I also dreamed of doing something around it and I finally move in a new place that was perfect for my idea. We did by hand with tape and patience, it took us about one day and on the second we did some little touch up. We're extremely happy with the result!

The light in the room is fantastic.
Is there a chandelier out of view? If none, a white one would be great.
I imagine this is what the cafeteria in the Bauhaus looked like.
(Looks great!)
Powerful and clean. Love it.
I'm curious to know whether you also incorporated what is often uncelebreated in Mondrian's work -- the brush strokes and textures in those color blocks. For example, is the white flat and smooth, but the red made special by pronounced horizontal brush strokes?
Does any one remember the bus in the television show The Partridge Family? The wall's colours and graphic design reminds me of it.
Hey! Thank you all! To respond to Kim, no particular brush stroke were actually used since wall and canvas wouldn't respond the same anyway and we also wanted to make sure every color would be bold.
My childhood neighbors had created a Mondrian kitchen floor from primary colored vinyl. It was fabulous.
I think this is great, Maude.
You are lucky to have a great space to accommodate the look. I don't think a room lacking good sunlight would be able to pull the wall off as well as yours does. Excellent job, Maude! :)
This looks completely sensational. Absolutely beautiful. Fabulous colors; wonderful proportions. Be VERY proud of yourself. But I beg you -- PLEASE do not hang "art" on top of it. It IS art. It's sensational. If you hang "art" on it, it will become the equivalent of a whatnot shelf.
Speechless. To be able to visualize your art-influenced idea is one thing. To realize your idea is a whole different story. Well executed.
Don't worry, I will never hang anything on it!
wow, cozy. NOT!
I think it is incredible. I love seeing people doing the Curtis thing and painting their own "wallpaper". Gorgeous.
I'm a huge Mondrian fan myself. This is beautiful!
Gorgeous! Where did you get the dining table/chairs?

The travel insurance company was recently named as one of the top 100 companies for working mothers in the country. The list is printed in the October issue of Working Mother magazine.
The company's flexible schedule arrangements along with their on-site childcare center makes them stand out from other companies. Employees are honored to be on the list.
"We're thrilled it's a great honor and it's something we've known about for a long time," says public relations representative Carol Mueller.
And if moms can't find time to get away from their office, Noel Group even has nanny-cams placed around the childcare center, so moms and dads can monitor their little ones during the work day.

2001 Mazda MPV Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 4 reviews
Other than a few minor upgrades to the list of standard features, the 2001 Mazda MPV minivan was essentially unchanged from the previous year. Power for the front-wheel-drive vehicle was provided by a 2.5-liter V6 engine that produced 170 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available.
The 2001 MPV was available in DX, LX, and ES trim packages. Standard features for the DX included power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, air conditioning, and an AM/FM stereo system with a CD player. The LX added power windows, power door locks, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and a keyless entry system, which was a new feature for 2001. The ES added leather seats, power heated mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a premium audio system with both CD and cassette players.
Drivers thought the MPV was a functional, versatile, and reliable vehicle, although some reported having too many mechanical problems with the vehicle. The handling, styling, and stereo system were also noted as positive points. And despite having more horsepower, the MPV was still considered to be underpowered by some drivers.

When you bring your lunch, what do you pack your salad dressing in?
- IndyGirl Sep 30, 2007 03:13 PM
All of my tupperware seems to leak, and it DRIVES ME CRAZY!
I also like to bring uncooked oatmeal with milk poured over it so I can heat it up in my microwave at work. Last week the tupperware leaked all over the place and I haven't done it since! I find this very frustrating.
I keep small glass jars, like spice containers with good screw lids. The BF just informed me that his still sometimes leak and suggested wrapping the bottles in paper towels and putting them in a plastic bag...but not enough to pack his own lunch.
I like the screw top suggestion - also helps to pack little tupperware of dressing in larger salad tupperware so there are a couple of caontainers to leak through.
As far as the oatmeal, individual soymilk containers are the way to go (if you can handle soymilk, maybe there are individual milk containers as well?). Small Nalgene bottles also work great! Or could you keep a small carton in a work fridge?
re: amycakes
They do have individual milks now, and they don't even need to be refrigerated, just like the soy milks.
re: pikawicca
Oh, that's a great idea. I have tons of Penzey's spices. I will just have to wait until I'm out of something and then use that jar, or, I guess, head to the store for some jars! Thanks!
re: jh nj
There are some sold at Bed Bath & Beyond with a thin thing of blue ice you store in freezer until you take your lunch thing with you. They have a salad one with built in dispenser but I did not like that one; I got the oblong one, very nice. I, too, use the empty salsa containers for the salad dressing.
re: SilverlakeGirl
Yep, I use little strawberry shaped bottles meant for Bento. I also have some little flip top critter shaped ones that would work for thicker (ranch like) dressings. None of them would satisfy someone who wants a lot of dressing or packs a large salad, although you could always pack multiple.
Real Tupperware should not leak. If there is a lid malfunction- it is warped- they will replace any size for a minimal fee (it was $1, may be more now) contact a local Tupperware Rep or online. The stuff is guaranteed forever.
You should put the lid on and turn the piece upside down and around before you leave the house to see that it is sealed. It should not accidentlaly pop open on a drive, or even under pressure in an aircraft.
If it is a malfunction, all lids have a letter imprinted on it that shoud match the letter/number on the bottom of the piece (i.e., each size container has a corresponding lid) and that is what you need to tell them.
re: IndyGirl
So why not just get real tupperware? It's easy enough to find, just need to remember to bring it home, wash it, and store until next use.
I personally like the pyrex glass containers with tops - I got a set of them at Costco a few years back. Those don't leak, and they look just as good as when I first bought them.
re: IndyGirl
OK, way different situation. I thought it was a legit complaint about Tupperware, which does cost more but indeed does last forever. I have some from my mom from the 1950's/60's that still seals. No need to buy any of those disposable/breakdownable/leaky things for the rest of my lifetime.
Just test whatever you think you are going to use filled with water and placed upside down on your counter for an hour when you first buy it. You'll know what leaks right away.
re: kkak97
re: kkak97
So simple... I feel stupid I never thought of it! (No babies, but I secretly like the baby applesauce anyway! ;-)
Zip-Lock bags have worked for us in the past. They transport well as long as pressure isn't applied to them and you can cut a bottom corner to dispense the dressing. To temporarily seal the cut corner, use one of those clamp-type paper clips to hold the twisted corner closed. I know it's kind of a waste to use a ziplock in this manner, but we don't do it often and rationalize that wasting one plastic bag is less of a crime than possibly creating a spill that will cost a dozen paper towels and who knows what else to clean the potential mess.
glass spice jars
baby food jars
or a safer/less breakable alternative...plastic, travel-size toiletry bottles - widely available at drugstores
[i still put the jar or bottle in a small ziploc as additional insurance against leakage.]
there are also a couple of specialty products on the market now that were created specifically for the purpose of transporting your salad & keeping the dressing separate:
re: piccola
I'd advise against using film containers for storing food; they're not meant for it and weird chemicals can leach out into what you're eating. This also applies to any other nonfood containers.
re: DonShirer
Put some water in one, turn it upside down, leave on the counter at home and see if the water leaks out...
re: DonShirer
wouldn't suggest it. childproof definitely doesn't mean leak-proof.
re: DonShirer
I work at a pharmacy - those bottles are NOT leakproof. However, we do dispense plenty of liquids medications in bottles with leakproof tops. I'd just ask your pharmacy for one - they are called "oval bottles." The 2 oz size is perfect. They cost less than a quarter each, so unless they are being really grumpy, they shouldn't mind giving you one. We've had students ask for them for projects and such.
Here's what they look like:
re: mercyteapot
See, I hate bottled dressing. I have a real aversion to it. It used to be fine but then I started making my own and now any bottled dressing tastes checmically to me.
So I make my own, which is why my little olive-oil-and-expensive-Zingerman's-vinegar dressings leak all over the place.
re: IndyGirl
if you have a fridge at your office, can't you just keep a batch of your own/homemade dressing in there?
re: goodhealthgourmet
They throw everything out of our fridges each Friday, including dressing, whatever. Even if you mark it "keep." Sux.
re: rockandroller1
it's a catch-22.
think of it this way...at least you don't have to worry about some idiot leaving their half-eaten takeout in there to rot or fester & grow some insidious bacteria
that could potentially contaminate everyone else's food and make you all sick. some office refrigerators can get so filthy & nasty that you couldn't pay me to store my food in them. i always wonder why it's so difficult for people to clean up after themselves in public common areas...and whether they would ever let the condition of their own homes deteriorate to that point.
sorry, random off-topic tangent.
i still think spice or baby food jars are best.
as i said earlier, as far as glass, i always have a few extra spice jars on hand for various purposes...and even though i don't have kids, i occasionally use organic baby food fruit purees in my baking, so i just keep the jars once they're empty. so handy!
if you prefer plastic, pick up some travel-size plastic bottles at the drugstore [check the grade/code to make sure they're food-safe], wash them well when you get home, and use those. not only are they basically unbreakable, some also have spouts/nozzles that are perfect for measured squirting/pouring of your condiments.
I have a bowl that I bought at Target. It is made by Corning, white ceramic, with a seal tight plastic lid and a knob to let the steam out. I think it only cost around $5 or $6. Last year, I was taking a class that started at 8 am and one of my classmates brought oatmeal in that same container.
My best friend utilizes her son's containers from "The First Years". Set of 8 for about $4, I believe. She'll pack garnishes for potlucks in them, or send her man off to work with one filled with grape tomatoes. I believe they are four ounces. I bought a set and use them for sauces and small portions of snacks.
re: brekkie_fan
For dressing, it finally occurred to me to look for those little plastic containers (w/ lids) they have at salsa bars. Found them at Smart & Final & what a convenience it is! I now use it for my daughter's school lunch whenever I need to pack soy sauce, hummus, cream cheese, etc. Came in a pkg of 200 or 250 for oh I don't remember, may be $7?
re: ceekskat
Yes! I bought a pack on amazon for $5 or so. I fill with dressing, then tuck the little container into the larger salad container.
At pharmacies, they sell mini plastic travel bottles that you can fill w/ toiletries/shampoo/lotions/etc... I fill em with dressing.
I use an old fashioned asprin container with the snap lid. Never leaks. Cleans up well w/ hot water, soap and a good shake. And doesn't cost a thing.
re: rockandroller1
I do something similar - no ziplock, but I put the liquid container into the larger salad container, or in the case of sandwiches I'll put the tomato container into a larger container with the remainder of the sandwich parts.
ziplock bags.
The smaller ones from the major brands seal really well. To make sure they don't get squeezed open you can put them inside a rigid container.
The really large ziplock bags will make a large proof sheild over your old Tupperware, but then you still have a big mess inside it to deal with...
I get these at the Korean grocery, but you can get `em on Amazon now. If it keeps kimchi sealed, it's gotta be gold...
Smart & Final or any restaurant supply has a wide variety of small take out containers with lids. Perfect!
re: Sarah
Rubbermaid used to sell stain-proof containers... they were a Lexan-type plastic and hada great, tight-fitting lid with a wide band around the lip. I don't know if they're still in stores, but I bought one to store spaghetti sauce in and it's now coveted by my boyfriend for taking leaky food to work for his lunch. It's the only container we have that doesn't leak.
Best discovery ever, after observing what Food Network cooks do when they've prepared a salad, but are waiting (for guests or whatever) before tossing:
Put the dressing at the bottom!
Yep, easy-peasy, and it's been working wonderfully for me. I put my dressing (and topings: chicken, shredded cheese, etc.) right at the bottom of my tupperware bowl, and then i pile the lettuce on top. Lettuce remains crisp, there's no leaking, and....
it's super easy to mix! just shake!!
I've also heard of putting your salad in a big plastic bag, and then putting the dressing into a smaller plastic bag and place then seal that smaller bag within the bigger one. I used to do this before my new method, and it also worked well.
I had the leaking lunch problem (and destroyed an iPod as a result) until I bought Glasslock containers. I got mine at The Container Store. These work great, no more leaking. They are heavier than tupperware, though, so more of a pain in the a** to carry. They are also more expensive. I think the size I bought was about $12, but worth it to me.
Well, it's not ideal as the size is probably larger than you'd want but, I bring my dressing in the smallest size (Ball 4 oz) jars sold. They are perfect for both mixing up the dressing as well as porting (except for the whole "breakable glass" thing). They go through the dishwasher, get totally clean with no oil/pastic/acid interaction, and the absolutely positively will not leak. Their whole design is specifically so they don't leak, at all, ever. They last forever, unless you drop one, and they are great for storing and transporting other stuff too. Remove the lid and they are microwave safe. The whole shebang is utterly recyclable to boot.
For the oatmeal, go with the mason jar but in the larger size. Brands vary, with Kerr and Ball producing currently. if you can't find them at a hearby store, buying online is worth the trouble and shipping. Places like Ace Hardware, Amazon, and the like. Opt for the wide mouth versions and cleaning will be even easier.
re: aggiecat
I use a snack size ziplock bag. Lies flat on top of the salad in the container so it doesn't take up much space. If it's a vinaigrette type dressing, just smush the bag around to mix the dressing.
Or I buy small 2oz condiment containers- 200 or so in a pack for a few dollars. They're not leakproof on their own, but when nestled inside a tupperware they don't leak.
I had a coworker who would just put the salad dressing at the bottom of the salad container and the salad on top. When she was ready to eat it, she'd mix it all up.
I just found the best way to transport lunchtime salad dressing. It's called Dressing 2 Go by EVRIHOLDER. Here's a link:
I got mine at Shop Rite.
This might sound strange but I once used a tiny wine bottle. I put a little olive oil ,red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard s/p. Screwed the lid shut and shook it up at lunch time and poured. It worked great.
I was later tested for drinking on the job:) j/k
I have some small (1/2 cup) plastic containers with good, tight locks -- some are Rubbermaid, some ziplock. And, I put the container with the dressing inside the larger square container in which I place the salad, so if any leaks, it goes onto the salad.
The only variation on this is if I am including apples or pears in the salad. In that case, I slice the fruit in advance and put it in a medium container, and then add the salad dressing to that container, being sure to completely coat the fruit so it does not oxidize.

Questions? (888) 864-7663
Stunning Spring Display, Edible Fruit and Fall Color
The Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa chinesis) is a deciduous tree with a specialized leaf system (bract), that creates a showy white appearance throughout the summer. This tree would look stunning planted in small groupings along your home or as a focal point in your front yard.
Your Dogwood's 4-inch, dark green leaves will appear in spring, but it's in late spring when the real show begins. Pointed bracts of 4-petaled white flowers will appear, giving this tree a unique show-stopping appearance. As an added bonus, 1-inch, round red berries will begin to appear in the summer and be ready for a fall harvest. Sweet and juicy, these berries are a favorite for wine makers, but can also be eaten straight from the tree.
As fall approaches, your Dogwood will transform from green to a vibrant red/burgundy splash of color for your landscape. Even when those leaves have come and gone, your remaining berries will still dangle from the branches, like an early holiday display right in your yard.
The Dogwood has a horizontal branching structure that reaches all the way to the base, forming a natural pyramidal shape. It can reach heights of 15-30 ft and spread to 20 ft wide. This particular Dogwood has a better disease tolerance than many other flowering Dogwoods, and is generally hardy and easy to care for. Deer won't like this tree, but birds certainly will…and so will you!

April 22, 2011
The summer Simulcast season has opened at Oaklawn. There are lots of interesting aspects to Simulcast that many regional live racing fans miss. My personal favorite is watching the progress which is made by many horses which raced against the tough competition at Oaklawn. The second is that we play Simulcast games at Oaklawn which hone the handicapping talents of our players and give one yet another reason to attend, even though it is not the live sport.
Following the horses which ran at Oaklawn is a great joy. What this teaches me each year is that the competition level at Oaklawn prepares the horses for tough competition no matter where they show up. Normally we see the most Oaklawn runners show up in Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Iowa and Delaware.
I've had enough experience at Simulcast to know that a simulcast player needs to focus on limited action. Just because there's a race going off in five minutes doesn't mean you have to be in action in that race. I prefer to either focus on a certain track, jockey or trainer. Or I find those horses which raced at Oaklawn and zero in on their races.
A good example can be the third race at Keeneland on Thursday. Trainer Tevis McCauley, who raced with us for the first time this year, sent out Kingofthebluegrass. Now some people were reluctant to wager because Keeneland is a synthetic track and Kingofthebluegrass was running on dirt at Oaklawn. But McCauley has been in Kentucky before and I trust that he understands the difference. If he runs a horse there, he must understand that his horse can handle the going.
Kingofthebluegrass had been allowed one start already at Keeneland upon his arrival from Oaklawn. The fact that he was entered back told me that he came back fine and he had enough recovery time to put in his usual good run. He did just that, beating Ordination, who had topped him in his previous outing. But Kingofthebluegrass returned a win mutual of $14.80. This will happen with Oaklawn-raced horses a number of times in the next few months. There will come a time when the "Oaklawn Effect" might begin to wear off, but now for a while. It's a time to take your best shot.
Veteran trainer Lynn Whiting did that on Thursday. Most of us know and trust the judgement of Whiting when it comes to placing horses and giving them the best chance to win. He sent out Classical Closing as the fifth choice in a claiming event at Keeneland. The horse closed stoutly and narrowly missed winning a race which he public didn't give him much chance.
Simucast offers these opportunities and they make it fun.
We also play Twin-Quin on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. A chance to pitnyour handicapping abilities against others at Oaklawn. If we fail to have a winner, the prize gets larger and there can get to be a substantial carryover for a fun game which is played just among those who are here at the track.
Today, for instance, is Friday, April 22. In the second race at Keeneland is a horse called George Ray. In fact he shows no previous success on synthetic surfaces, but I have enough confidence in veteran trainer "Sonny" Wigginton to believe that he wouldn't put George Ray into a spot at which he couldn't succeed. The horse is seven years old. There is no reason to overmatch him at this point.
George Ray is not one of the selections of the track handicapper, but he is dropping in class and has won more money than all but one of his competition. There is no one speed factor in the race, so my belief is that he'll be competitive throughout. Furthermore "Sonny" has put on the young and talented bug rider, Constantino Roman, to get the weight off and an enthusiastic young rider to be in the irons.
This looks like a good spot for George Ray to me. We'll see what happens.
My apologies. George Ray has been scratched.
In Chicago, at Hawthorne in the sixth race, trainer Hugh Robertson, father of Mac who raced at Oaklawn, will send Labeled to the post in hopes of winning an $18,000 claiming race. At Oaklawn, in his last start, for a $12,500, she was defeated by the tough Dixie Pixie. The sixth at Hawthorne is scheduled for five-and-a-half furlongs on the turf. If it comes off the turf, all the better for Labeled. She has good natural speed and already shows an "in-the-moey" performance on an "off" track. As a matter of fact the race has been taken off the turf. all the better for us.
It's plays like that which make Simulcast so much fun. You can pick and choose and have fun doing it. Plus it costs nothing to get into the door.
If you like horse racing and the art of handicapping, the you owe it to yourself to give it a go.
I'll look forward to seeing you. On Saturdays I hope to use the "Terry's Picks" section of the Oaklawn website to zero in on my 10 favorite plays of the simulcast day. I hope we can have some fun with that. I hope I see you soon at Oaklawn simulcast.

1888 event popularized keyboard, touch typing
By Jeff Suess
Cincinnati is gearing up for a rematch.
In the first-ever professional typewriting contest, held in the Queen City 125 years ago, our own Louis Traub was bested by touch-typer Frank E. McGurrin. The results popularized the QWERTY keyboard – named for the first keys reading from the left – and introduced touch typing, or typing without looking at the keys.
This month, the Cincy Typing Challenge at Cincinnati Museum Center, hosted by Outlier Technologies to launch their TREWGrip mobile keyboard device, will crown a new typing champion – at least, the fastest in the city, and hopefully faster than McGurrin. The competition honors the 125th anniversary of the original on July 25, 1888.
McGurrin, the stenographer of the Third District Court in Salt Lake City, had issued a typing challenge to pit his skills on the Remington Standard 2 typewriter, which used the QWERTY keyboard, against any typewriter operator on "any machine having both capitals and small letters" to determine who was fastest.
The challenge was accepted by Traub, the principal operator of Longley's Shorthand and Type-Writing Institute and an expert on the Caligraph, a typing machine with separate keys for upper and lower cases.
The contest was held at the Longley's office at 16 Bradford Block in the Palace Hotel building at Sixth and Vine streets, now known as the Cincinnatian Hotel. Each contestant provided half of the $500 prize money.
The test was for speed in 45 minutes of copying legal testimonies, and another 45 minutes taking dictation. Three local stenographers acted as judges.
"The young men's fingers flew over the white-keyed instruments with the rapidity of a Hans Bulow improvising a staccato composition," the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette reported. "The clicking of the two machines made a metallic chorus."
The contest was less about the operators than the machines. The Enquirer reported, "It was evident that Mr. Traub could operate faster than his machine would respond, and he was to that extent placed at a disadvantage.
"Owing to the compactness of the Remington keyboard, Mr. McGurrin was enabled to copy without looking at the keyboard at all, and he could have taken the dictated matter nearly if not quite as well blindfolded. He displayed marvelous speed and won the purse, although Mr. Traub proved himself a worthy competitor."
McGurrin had typed 4,294 words from dictation, and copied 4,415 words, for a total of 8,709 words, or 97 words per minute. Traub typed 3,747 words from dictation and copied 3,191 words, for 6,938 total words at 77 a minute. The results caught worldwide attention. Other manufacturers shifted to the QWERTY keyboard, which remains the standard layout. Touch typing also caught on, though it is difficult to prove the claim that McGurrin was the first to use it.
There was a rematch back then, to little notice. Traub switched to the Remington, recognizing its superiority to the Caligraph, and after six months engaged McGurrin again.
The contest on January 22, 1889, was held at Hopkins Hall at the southwest corner of Fourth and Elm streets. Traub was granted a 10 percent handicap, and the results were much closer. McGurrin averaged 89 words per minute to Traub's 86.
Cincinnati has reason to be proud of Traub. Born in 1859 in Alsace, then under French rule, he served in the French Foreign Legion in Algiers, then came to America and settled in Cincinnati in 1882. Within a year, he mastered stenography while also learning English.
After the typing contest, Traub went on to establish Traub's Business College, the city's premiere school for shorthand. He spent his nights creating a system for mathematical proofs to be indispensable for bookkeepers, clerks, and teachers.
In 1914, he published "Proofs for All Mathematical Calculations," which was hailed in his obituary as "a masterpiece and a success, those skilled in the science of numbers say."
But Traub was too late – the adding machine made his work superfluous. He died in 1916, aged 56.
Now, maybe a Cincinnatian can avenge Traub's defeat. The qualifying round for the Cincy Typing Challenge is Saturday, with finals on July 25. The prize for fastest typist is $2,500, with the award doubled if the speed beats McGurrin's.
The historic typing machines used by McGurrin and Traub, on loan from the Chestnut Ridge Typewriter Museum in Fairmont, W.V., are on display at the Museum Center.
Register for the Cincy Typing Challenge at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Qualifying round is on July 20, finals on July 25. A $2,500 prize (doubled if speed beats McGurrin's) will be awarded to the fastest typist on typewriter or keyboard, and $500 to the fastest texter. Information and registration: www.cincytypingchallenge.com/wordpress/.
Historic typewriters are on display at the Museum Center through July. The documentary "The Typewriter" will be shown 11 a.m. and noon on July 20.

Film News:
May 4, 2014: SFCC Student Film Selected for Santa Fe Film Festival.
The short fantasy drama 'Psyche Ascending' gets its official US Premiere coming Sunday, May 4 as part of the Santa Fe Film Festival. Written by Michael Zeilik and produced as the first dramatic collaboration between NMFR (New Mexico Film Resource) and SFCC's successful Film Program, 'Psyche Ascending' used a new production model allowing for over 20 SFCC students to work alongside industry professionals.
The film tells a story from Greek Mythology, that of the young woman Psyche and her growth to control her own fate against the wishes of the gods. "As much as possible," said director Peter M. Kershaw, "we wanted to cast Native Americans to play these gods from the Greek pantheon". The resulting film was shot, cast and crewed entirely in New Mexico and features a host of New Mexico's finest actors. 'Psyche' also boasts an original score by composer Gerald Fried, who recorded music for Stanley Kubrick's first five films. Cinematography by Monique Anair, Chair of SFCC's Film Program, with editing and production design by Gene Mederos, Chair of NMFR.
SFCC Film Department Going Green
Joining the growing 'green' movement, The SFCC Film Department has instituted new energy-saving measures, massively reducing both our energy costs and carbon footprint. The relatively straight-forward changes include changing twelve high-intensity lightbulbs to LED's and converting two of our trucks to biodiesel. These changes will end up saving the department close to $3,000 annually on electricity costs, and $4,500 in fuel costs ($7,5000 combined), as our biodiesel will be made on-site in SFCC's Sustainable Technologies Department. Combined, the department will reduce our carbon footprint from 26 tonnes of carbon a year to 3 tonnes, a very significant reduction based on some very simple measures. See savings details here.

Graph analysis is developing rapidly into one of the most promising new segments in the big data market. The vogue for graph analysis was boosted by Facebook's recent beta of the graph search feature for its online community. Graph search builds on the social graph Facebook announced three years ago, which maps the explicit and implicit relationships among members based on their profiles, timelines, and behaviors within that community.
Graph analysis is, at heart, a mathematical approach for mapping complex relationships among networks of nodes. In the business world, graph analysis has various applications, the most noteworthy being mapping social relationships (as exemplified by Facebook's offering) and mapping semantic relationships (which are at the heart of what the World Wide Web Consortium's long-running Semantic Web initiative is all about). A social graph maps relationships that are partly or entirely behavioral in nature (e.g., among individuals within social groups), while a semantic graph maps relationships among words, concepts, and other linguistic constructs within human languages.
Graph analysis is hot these days in the big data arena, but it is not a new technology within the disciplines of data science and advanced analytics. Graph modeling is an established branch of statistical modeling that focuses on mining, mapping, visualizing, and exploring connections, interactions, and affinities. What distinguishes graph analysis is a focus on "graphs," which are abstract networks of relationships (known as links) among nodes (which may be individuals, groups, companies, products, systems, objects, concepts, words, and other entities). In addition to applications in social and semantic applications, graph analysis has well-established uses in scientific, engineering, and other domains.
Of the technology's many uses, social graph analysis is most popular, thriving on the gusher of customer intelligence flowing from online communities of all shapes and sizes. In addition to customer profiles and other contextual data, modelers may incorporate a huge range of behavioral information into social graph models. The behavioral data sources might include Facebook status updates, tweets, portal clickstreams, geospatial coordinates, transaction records, interest profiles, call detail records, and usage logs. Social graphs may also incorporate diverse streams of big data—structured and unstructured, user- and machine-generated, and so on—that issue from social media as well as from B2C communities, B2B supply chains, and enterprise applications.
In the enterprise, social graph analysis powers anti-fraud, influence analysis, sentiment monitoring, market segmentation, engagement optimization, experience optimization, and other applications where complex behavioral patterns must be rapidly identified. Graph models are powerful enablers for fine-grained predictive modeling of human behaviors because they help identify the likely behaviors of individuals in their fuller context of groups, relationships, and influence. These models offer microscopically detailed views of the customer experience by focusing on human actions and interactions.
Semantic graph analysis is also a well-established discipline and a substantial focus of many big data initiatives. It is fundamental to search optimization, content analytics, and other cutting-edge applications of advanced analytics against unstructured data. Data scientists explicitly build semantic graph models as ontologies, taxonomies, thesauri, and topic maps using tools that implement standards such as the W3C-developed Resource Description Framework (RDF).
Whether you're doing social, semantic, or some other form of graph analysis, this approach is outside the core scope of traditional analytic databases and even beyond the ability of many Hadoop and NoSQL databases. Graph databases are an embryonic (but potentially huge) segment of the big data arena. However, that doesn't mean you have to acquire a new database in order to do graph analysis. You can, to varying degrees, execute graph models on a wide range of existing enterprise databases. Nevertheless, where social graph analysis is concerned, there is a growing market for graph databases or graph stores, which are specifically optimized for it. And where semantic graph analysis is concerned, you can do it on specialized RDF triple-store databases or on enterprise databases, such as DB2 v10, which provide triple-stores extensions.
But if you're serious about graph analysis, you're going to need to ramp up all three big data Vs—volume, variety, and velocity—to do it effectively. Depending on the amount of data, the complexity of models, and the range of applications, graph analysis can be a huge consumer of processing, storage, I/O bandwidth, and other big data platform resources. And if you're driving the results of graph processing into real-time applications, such as anti-fraud, you need an end-to-end, low-latency database architecture.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
Pingback: Influence Attribution is Such an Inexact Science, You Hesitate to Call It Science – Analyzing Media
I concur with an increased need to have a mechanism to have more relevant data in drastically reduced latency for data availability. There have been advanced tools that have been developed for data movement such as InfoSphere Streams for data movement as well as reporting tools such as Cognos NOW that fit the bill.
Thank you,

Teaching State History: An Outline With Projects
- Friday, October 12, 2012
Activity: Find the names of the tribes who lived in your state. Make a booklet about one of the tribes. Label and draw pictures to illustrate a page for each of these topics: food, dress, home, and language.
2. Locations
Activity: Find out specifically where each tribe lived. Draw a simple map of your state. Color the map and label the locations.
Early Settlers
1. European Immigrants
Activity: Find out what brought immigrants to your state. In a book about your state, check the index for names of specific nationalities. Make a chart with the nationalities and the reasons they left their homes to come to your state. An interesting site online is The New York Times Immigration Explorer. You can click on a nationality and move a slide to show its population in your state through the years.
2. Movement From Other States
Activity: Check to see if groups of people moved from another state to your state and find out why. Make another chart that illustrates this information.
3. Personal Family History
Activity: Draw a family tree and include the locations where your ancestors were born. Ask your grandparents and/or use one of the online genealogy sites.
1. Past Industries
Activity: Make a timeline to show which industries operated at different times in your state's history. One way to divide the timeline is according to the beginning dates of wars. War usually changed a state's industries, especially the Revolutionary War (1775–1783), the Civil War (1861–1865), World War I (1914–1918), and World War II (1939–1945).
2. Specific Industry
Activity: Pick one of the early industries of your state. Learn more about it. Read a description of one of the processes involved in that industry. For example, the iron industry needed charcoal. If the production of iron was an early industry in your state, read about how the charcoal was produced. Another industry was lumbering. How did the logs reach the cities? Draw a cartoon-type illustration to show one of the processes involved in the industry that you chose.
3. Great Inventors
Activity: Find out if any great inventors lived in your state. Look in your reference books or do an online search for "great inventors from (your state's name)." Draw a picture of some of their inventions, or take photos of modern tools that have been developed as a result of their inventions. Label each with the inventor's name.
Major Events
1. Catastrophic Events
Activity: Read first-person accounts of catastrophic events in your state. Fill in a chart for each event to answer who, what, when, where, and how.
2. Other Events
Activity: Each state has a unique history. What unique events took place in your state? If possible, conduct an interview with someone who knows about it. First, make a list of questions to ask. Then, as you interview, take notes or video record. If you have no living resource person, read a firsthand written account from that period and make up a pretend interview with answers that use real facts.
Natural Resources
1. State or National Parks
Activity: Investigate how the state and national parks in your state came to be and how they got their names. Use a website that gives information about the parks. Look for the historical information section. Design a game based on the information that you find. Write clues about each park and make a path with them on the game board. Prepare and keep nearby a master sheet that lists the answers. Invite a friend or family member to play. Use a die to move. Whoever can identify the park gets to move extra spaces. First one to the end wins!

The "North Shore" of Maui includes the small towns of Paia, Haiku and Pauwela. Maui's "North Shore" is located south-east of Kahului and the airport, midway between Hana and Wailea and Kaanapali. There are many great beaches within walking distance of Paia. The lifestyle is laid back and centers around outdoor activities.
Kuau Cove is located between Paia and Hookipa (about 1 mile outside Paia). This is an excellent windsurfing location. The water is warm, the views are beautiful, and the sun shines almost every day. In the summer the wind blows 15-25 knots and the rest of the year still offers pretty good sailing. Winter brings the big surf, with the occasional set of double mast-high waves rolling in.
This is one of the World's most popular windsurfing areas. At world famous Ho'okipa Beach Park, surfers, windsurfers, bodyboarders, and swimmers come to spend the day in this beautiful spot. The waves here can reach up to 30 feet high in the winter months.
100 years ago Paia was the heart of Maui's sugarcane industry. Sugar was an important crop to thousands of people who depended on it for a living. There was a train to carry raw sugar and passengers to Kahului harbor and Wailuku.
Haiku is only 25 minutes from the airport, and less than 10 minutes from famous world class windsurfing beaches. Haiku is also located near waterfalls and tropical jungles. Recreational activities include surfing, windsurfing, diving, swimming, hiking, biking, horseback riding, shopping, and more!
Today, Paia is hustling and bustling with a different kind of energy. Since the old sugarmill shut down in 2000 (one of the last few in the state), the economy has turned to tourism, windsurfing and surfing.

Though it first opened in 1959 as an English pub, the Red Lion Tavern has given Los Angeles an easy way to visit the boisterous beer gardens of Munich since 1963. The diverse menu includes lunch and dinner options, and even hosts a champagne brunch. The menu's hearty emphasis on sausage, beer, and cabbage hasn?t changed much in 50 years, and today features seven kinds of sausage and extensive pretzel and schnitzel offerings, along with an extensive list of beers. Customers can also enjoy a myriad selection of salads, sandwiches, soups, seafood, pork, poultry, desserts and sides such as red cabbage or German fried potatoes. The Tavern also features weekly specials in addition to a number of coffee specialties.
Two indoor bars and an outdoor beer garden give patrons plenty of places to refill their pints?and the bartenders likewise offer plenty of opportunities to practice one's German (their native tongue). Piano players are on hand nightly to provide live entertainment for guests to enjoy. Along with dressing its wait staff in lederhosen and dirndls, the Red Lion Tavern hangs the work of German artists upon their walls and sends partied-out patrons home in German-engineered cabs whenever possible.
From its generations-old recipes to its renowned singing waiters, Miceli's Italian Restaurant is steeped in tradition. The father of the current owners moved to California after World War II, bringing with him two brothers, two sisters, and a host of family recipes from Sicily. Beginning in 1949, they helped to introduce pizza to the old Hollywood crowd in a boisterous space with a detailed mural of a rural Italian scene. Celebrity sightings became a Miceli's tradition; the restaurant has been a rumored hotspot for stars past and present including Lucille Ball, the Beatles, and Marilyn Monroe, who loved pizza and helped to teach America that some people like it hot.
Joe Miceli now owns and operates two locations with his brother Frank, a trained chef. Stained-glass windows add to the eatery's welcoming family atmosphere as diners sit around tables in ornate wooden chairs. A collection of wine bottles hangs over tables loaded with specialties such as pizza with bay shrimp and fresh garlic or creamy pesto fettuccine with a signature romano-cheese sauce. As they deliver bottles of wine from as nearby as Napa and as far away as Tuscany, the wait staff sings classic Italian arias, show tunes, and all nine verses of the birthday song.
The aestheticians at Skin Body Lounge, deemed Best Day Spa by the 2011 LA Hotlist, aim to even skin tones, mitigate blemishes, and evict unsightly fuzz with noninvasive skincare and hair-removal services. During full-face photo-rejuvenation, nonablative lasers emit concentrated light to target specific skin pigments?including dark spots left over from acne scarring or convincing dalmatian costumes?stimulating collagen and oxygen production to destroy unwanted bacteria and leave skin radiant. Pulsed-light hair removal, Epilar biochemical solutions, and waxing services strip wayward strands. Those looking to lose inches and smooth cellulite can enlist treatments such as detoxifying body wraps and electronic muscle stimulation. Results-oriented facials are customized to the unique needs of each visage, and microdermabrasion sloughs away dead cells to improve skin tone and texture. Airbrush tanning and makeup services get clients suited up for an evening out more effectively than wearing a cutout of the Hulk's face.
On Halloween 1940, hundreds of couples clad in suits and cocktail gowns flooded into a brand-new concert hall. Bas-relief pillars and crushed-velvet curtains flanked a bandstand that today would seem comically small, its curves echoed in a series of sweeping, backlit circles rippling across the ceiling and ending in a wrap-around balcony where guests could look down on the sea of elegantly coiffed heads. But most importantly, there was lots and lots of room to dance.
That's remained true in the many decades since the Hollywood Palladium's grand opening. Over the years, the venue has hosted everyone from Black Flag and The Ramones to The Offspring and Jay-Z, and though a flashy modern light and video system now fills the stage, it still looks out on a massive dance floor lit by anachronistic chandeliers. Of course, guests might well guess at this blend of modern spectacle and old-school panache just from the venue's façade, whose enormous neon letters, powered by the motor of a 1955 Cadillac, tower above the marquee's list of the big names on deck that week.
Each morning, brothers Mario and Salvatore Marino stroll through local farmers' markets in search of the ripest produce, returning back to their restaurant just in time to pull fresh bread from the oven. The pair actually oversees three LA restaurants—La Bottega Marino, Il Grano, and Marino Ristorante—each of which highlights the traditions of the owners' homeland, Napoli, with handmade pastas, pastries, pizzas, and panini sandwiches filled with seasonal ingredients. As noted on the LA Weekly web blog, La Bottega Marino's menu foregoes Italian-American standards like caesar salad and fettuccini for more authentic specialties such as porchetta—an herb-rolled pork loin wrapped in pork belly and roasted with a light seasoning of salt, pepper, garlic, and fennel. In addition to perfecting housemade meals, the Marino brothers spend time building their wine list by collecting varietals from almost every Italian region, including the region whose excess CO2 yields bubbly prosecco.
Los Angeles Oktoberfest invites visitors to celebrate the changing seasons with two days of traditional Bavarian revelry. Hosted by Bob Guiney from ABC's The Bachelor, the festival invites attendees to fill their glass steins with any of the 19 available German beers and purchase hearty platefuls of bratwurst, giant pretzels, and strudel. Live bands lead traditional, sing-along drinking tunes, a Bavarian dance group performs for joyous audiences, and a strolling accordionist weaves through the crowds while playing familiar German melodies. In addition to bidding on sports memorabilia at the silent-auction table, patrons can also test their arm strength by competing in the stein-holding competition, which rewards the winners with lifetime admission to the Los Angeles Oktoberfest and a brand new pair of steel biceps to replace the old, used-up ones.
