I've been thinking a bit about the Doughty negotiation, and I've had a few things come up that I feel are worth writing down. Forgive me for the somewhat disjointed nature of these thoughts, but I wrote them down as they came to me:
- Doughty's deal just got much harder to see signed before training camp. Lombardi is going to have to make sure the Kings don't get locked down to a ridiculous contract, and with that award Doughty is going to be able to ask for the moon.
- Hopefully Doughty is at least keeping in game shape. If and when a deal is eventually done, he'd better be ready to rock this season. Fans will likely be disappointed (angry?) if he signs a mega-deal and comes to camp out of shape.
- I've heard people discuss trading Doughty. It's a terrible idea. If he is dealt now, there's literally no chance that the Kings gets a good deal. Lombardi has virtually no leverage, since everyone knows that he's stuck with this player he can't sign. Why pay more than they have to?
- Any chance Lombardi is waiting on not only Weber, but that the real delaying factor is the Smyth question? If the NHL decides to void the trade entirely, the Kings have no cap room to make any kind of deal with Doughty until Smyth is moved (again)
- If the two sides can't come to a reasonable long-term deal, maybe Lombardi signs a shorter term deal. It's frustrating for fans who would love to see Doughty for the long-term, but if it gets him into camp and gets the team focused early, it could be a good move.
- With Kovalchuk last season, and Doughty this season, I'm pretty sure the Kings are earning a reputation as a true Hollywood team, milking every last bit of drama out there…

Clarity on Telangana's formation day likely soon
Nearly a week after parliament passed a bill for bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the central government is yet to decide on the day when two states will formally come into being.
The union home ministry has summoned Chief Secretary P.K. Mohanty to Delhi Wednesday for a meeting, which is likely to give some clarity on the day when Telangana will come into being.
The central officials are expected to gather information from Mohanty about the preparedness of the state bureaucracy to implement the bifurcation. The top bureaucrat will give his report on how prepared is the bureaucracy to run the affairs of the two states and handle law and order, official sources said.
The chief secretary is also likely to brief the home ministry about the preparedness to hold elections in two states.
Mohanty already held talks with officials of various departments and gathered information about the cadre to be divided between the two states - Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The centre will issue a gazette notification after deciding the appointed day and this is likely before the Election Commission announces the schedule for Lok Sabha elections.
Union minister Jairam Ramesh has already stated that the appointed day will be so fixed to enable preparatory work relating to distribution of cadre, finance, assets and liabilities is completed satisfactorily. He hinted that the appointed day may be three months from the date of notification as in the case of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand.
The assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh are due along with the Lok Sabha elections. Since it may take three months for the two states to formally come into being, the assembly elections may not be held simultaneously with Lok Sabha polls.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is demanding that the elections should be held in two separate states.
The central government may impose President's rule or extend the term of the assembly by a couple of months before conducting the assembly elections.
The appointed day will be crucial for installing a new government and for conducting the elections. The centre is likely to give some clarity after the meeting Wednesday.
Jairam Ramesh, who was member of Group of Ministers (GoM) on Telangana, said two panels were already constituted to distribute IAS cadre and state cadre officials between the two states.
The cadre distribution may prove an uphill task as more than 84,000 state employees are to be allotted to two states.
The distribution of assets and liabilities is another big task on hand for the union home ministry. It has already gathered information from departments concerned about the state's finance, assets and liabilities. Some groundwork was done when GoM held consultations with various stakeholders for drafting the bill.
As per the bill passed in parliament, the assets and liabilities will be distributed in proportion to the population.

|IDF Day 2: Eric Kim: "We Love TV"
|Eric Kim really loves TV. If he ever decides to step down as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Digital Home Group, he might have a future as a game show host. At least he had fun channeling one as he donned a bright red jacket and asked panelists some media-based trivia questions to prove a point:
The point Kim was trying to make was that TV is "social and personal." Kim also posits that there are three lessons to be learned from what people expect from their TVs:
Patrick Barry, Vice President, Connected TV for Yahoo! came out onto the stage to join Kim to talk about the new Widget Channel. Kim and Barry suggested that users are looking for the next upgrade after flat panels and HD. They said that this next upgrade will be in the form of delivering the Internet to television--improving the richness of the TV experience. They also suggested that users want a simple experience--one that will work within the confines of the remote control experience. With the click of a single button on a remote, the Widget Dock opens on the bottom of the TV screen. Additional content can be extended into a sidebar.
Kim and Barry said that Widget Channel offers a seamless integration of the TV and the Internet. The user never needs to leave the TV environment to interact with connected content. Some of the Widgets they showed were for weather, news, stocks, and sports. They anticipate that thousands of third party vendors will develop Widgets for the platform--especially since developing apps for this platform is not that different that from the Windows-based Yahoo Widgets. Some of the partners on the platform include media-streaming sources, such as Blockbuster and CinemaNow, where users can rent or purchase streaming movies.
|The hardware component of this ecosystem is the just announced, Intel Media Processor CE3100 SOC (formerly know by the codename "Canmore"). The chip is designed to playback high-end video and audio. The design includes an IA core, three memory channels, and an integrated 3D graphics engine. It is a single SOC package, requires less than 10 watts of power, and does not need a fan for cooling. Kim said that Intel has been "seeding" the chip for six months and Intel is only a few weeks away from mass production.
Kim showed a demo with two HD videos playing simultaneously--one was MPEG4 video, the other was H.264. He was able to independently control the playback speeds of each clip without it having any impact on the other's playback. The chip has full support for Linux and Web 2.0 (whatever that means), according to Kim. In 2009, the next generation SOC will be based on a 45nm process and will have an Atom core.
In order to complete this ecosystem, full industry-wide support is needed. Based on the individuals who joined Kim for a brief panel discussion, it looks like the industry is well on its way to embracing this concept. Members of the discussion included:

Via: HotHardware | News Archive | Tags: Dell, LCD, display, monitor, IPS, UltraSharp, U3011, 30-inch
I like this monitor. The picture seems crisp.
I would definitely beat up the kid who had this in their dorm room!!
I have a 3008WFP on my workstation and love it. This is the follow-on. Jonesing... :)
'Tis a fine bit of bling.
I really like that 16:10 form factor, with which I am familiar from my current 24" HP LP2465, but the problem is that the Dell costs about 2/3 as much again as the 27" 16:9 Samsung SyncMaster models with PLS panels, S27A850T and S27A850D, respectively, that I've been eying. And while a larger screen would be nice, the 27" models do provide a sharper image, due to lesser pixel size at max resolution, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the quality of the Samsung models is superior. O well, while waiting for a solution to this problem of what to choose to turn up, I save money, which is probably a good thing as were I to purchase any one of these three models, I'd also have to upgrade from my ancient Geforce 7900 GTX to something significantly more powerful in order to run them....
I agree with Henri. The 27 inch DO provide a SHAPE EDGE TO THE MONITOR. I HAVE A SAMSUNG MONITOR AND THAT THING IS NO JOKE. EVERYTHING IS PRE CONFIGURED FOR THE EYES.
To tell you the truth I am looking at getting either a 24 or 27" right now, or better yet I would like to grab one the prices on either are nice and of course will only get nicer I a sure. While a 30" might be nice I am thinking it is more than I want in a desktop unit really. The +'s you guys add about the picture quality and responsiveness are also important ones as well.
I bought a 24 inch monitor and thought it wouldn't be to big, but when i opened the box and pulled it out i was overwhelmed by its size. I would love to know what happens if i put this on my desk.
But thats because i went from a 18inch to a 24 inch. Now when i go to a 18inch monitor in school i just look at it and wish i had a bigger monitor.
This monit is OLD. Why this review now? Isn't there a newer one comming soon?
very lovely indeed.

Gear Review
Avalung installed on a Dakine Pack
Neil Provo
Member since
The Avalung is a great invention. You can install this model into pretty much any backpack that has a hydration sleeve type of pocket. All it takes is a little macgyvering and some thought. I got some extra tubing at homedepot similar to what the avalung is made out of to make the exhaust come out at the bottom right of the pack. Works great, though i don't intend to use it at all costs! Its best to not get in avalanches.

The Minecraft stage in Super Smash Bros. looks rad ⊟
Shout outs to BonkinHead. Yes, it seems silly that someone would confuse Pilotwings with Minecraft, but that's how kids are these days — a lot of them view everything through the lens of Minecraft. I have a nephew who thinks Fallout is a Minecraft texture. That's what's going on with video games now.
Anyway, who doesn't love fighting on a plane? It was dope in Gunstar Heroes (well, that was a helicopter, but you know what I mean), and it will probably be dope in Super Smash Bros.

What to do if you want to become a security officer.
If you want to become a security officer, make sure that you receive your training at a training establishment that is accredited with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA).
Be aware of "fly-by-night" training centres and first check with PSIRA whether or not the training establishment you go to for training is accredited with PSIRA before you pay your money – call the Training Hotline on 012 3375506 to check.
Remember that paying your money and getting a certificate without actually doing any training is illegal. More importantly, you are putting your life in danger. If you find yourself in a life-threatening situation, you may not know how to respond if you have not received the correct training. You could also be endangering the lives of your colleagues, your clients and the public.
If you have experienced problems with a PSIRA accredited training establishment, please do not hesitate to contact SIRA's training services division on (012) 337-5506 / 337-5513.
You need to register
After you have completed your training, you need to register at your nearest PSIRA office. No person may work as a security officer, unless he or she is registered and trained as a security service provider in terms of Section 20 of the Private Security Industry Regulations Act, 2001 (Act no 56 of 2001).
How to register:
complete and sign the SIRA-1 application form;
submit a clear, certified and complete set of your fingerprints;
provide SIRA with a certified copy of the first page of your official identity document or proof of your permanent resident status in South Africa;
hand in a recent, clear and certified passport size photograph of yourself;
submit your original training certificate or other proof, acceptable to SIRA, that you have complied with the applicable training requirements;
pay SIRA an application fee of R48.10 for registration as a security officer, R28.50 for an identification card as well as R7.98; and
a monthly fee of R7.98.
Requirements for registration
Any person who wants to become a security officer, may be registered as a security service provider if the applicant is a fit and proper person to render a security service, and –
is a citizen of or has permanent resident status in South Africa.
is at least 18 years of age;
has done the relevant training for registration as a security service provider;
was not found guilty of a criminal offence specified in the Schedule within 10 years before the submission of application for registration;
was not found guilty of improper conduct in terms of the Private Security Industry Regulations Act, 2001 (act No 56 of 2001) within five years before the submission of the application to SIRA;
hand in a clearance certificate, if the applicant is a former member of any official military, security, police or intelligence force or service in South Africa or elsewhere;
is mentally sound;
is not currently employed in the Public Service;
has paid the relevant application fee; and
is not a person in the permanent employ of the Service, the Directorate of Special Operations, the National Intelligence Agency, the South African Secret Service, the South African National Defence Force or the Department of Correctional Services.
The registration process
As part of the registration process and before you can be registered as a security officer, you must undergo a fingerprint screening classification by the criminal-record centre of the SAPS, to ensure that you have never been convicted of a scheduled criminal offence. As a result, the registration process takes 6 to 8 weeks before it is finalised
You will receive a certificate of registration and an identification card from SIRA as soon as your registration process is finalised and on condition that your registration meet the requirements as set out above.

We talked about this show a little bit last season, and it was really fun to watch. I was skeptical that it could come back and continue to mine new talent in this area in the new season because, after all, how many good a capella groups can there be out there?
Well it turns out, plenty more. The new season started recently with 16 groups(!). The line-up has several college groups, including one from BYU called Vocal Point. They did a Justin Bieber song (Never Say Never) this week which drew a funny comment from judge Ben Folds (who really makes the show) that he would never again think that he wouldn't want to hear a bunch of Mormons sing Bieber. But these guys are much better with an old standard like Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight:
That's my favorite Sinatra song, and I loved the way they did it, except that I wish they would have slowed it down again in the end and ended like they started.
There's also a female supergroup formed from past contestants from previous seasons (and there have been only two previous seasons) called Delilah:
And another group of college boys from Rochester called the Yellowjackets:
But the best group so far is probably Afro Blue, who I could listen to all day:
The second bracket seems weaker to me, but I liked this performance from Sonos:
And this from Deltones:
The group that got kicked off this week turned in this amazing performance:
Let me know if you're watching this. If you're not, check it out because it's pretty fun.
11 thoughts on "The Sing Off"
I'm catching about one hour a week of it (because of interference from other shows) and enjoy it.
Are you watching X Factor?
No, I haven't seen X Factor at all.
Isn't Nicole a judge on X Factor now?
Funny thing I noticed while watching The Sing Off: Nick Lachey is so smooth and professional as a host that he almost seems computer generated. It makes me appreciate hosts like Ryan Seacrest and Cat Deely that actually come across as real people who are involved with and care about the contestants.
We're DVRing it because we love Sara Bareilles. We've seen Vocal Point perform locally, too, so that should be fun. We're not really into reality TV, though, so I'm not sure how much we'll enjoy it overall.
I don't really consider talent competition shows to be "reality TV." At least not in the same way that The Real Housewives of Whatever, or Jersey Shore, or The Hills, or even The Real World or Survivor is reality TV. I hate that kind of reality TV but I like talent competitions (some of them anyway) because you sometimes see some very talented musicians when they are just starting out, which is always fun.
I really dislike Afro Blue but I think it's because they've chosen songs that I really really hate.
So far I don't think anyone compares to the top 3 acts from last season.
Afro Blue's problem is that they are very jazz oriented. That's going to make them less accessible than the groups that are more pop oriented, but I think those who appreciate jazz will love them.
I agree that last season's final three were awesome, but give it time. Groups get better as the season goes on.
Yes Nicole is a judge on the X factor now.
I can't stand Cat Deely. Nick comes off a little too game show host or something for me.
Cat Deely just won an emmy. The reason I like her is that she actually seems that she likes the contestants, she says pretty funny things sometimes, and of course, she's hot. What's not to like?
She's annoying, especially when she's trying to be cute. Comes off as really fake to me.
That's the reason I don't like Nick Lachey. To me, he seems like a huge phony, while Cat seems natural and like she's having a lot of fun.
It's ironic, because Nick actually was in a group like the contestants on The Sing Off, while Cat has never been a dancer. You'd think he would be the one connecting with the contestants, but it sure doesn't seem that way.

Many speakers stated that collaboration is fundamental to finding innovative solutions to prevent violence. Mr. Hersman talked about the fact that both networks and technological innovations are often created by people driven to organize to resolve problems to which existing institutions are not responsive. Dr. Rosenberg cited the need for establishing connections between the officials who can respond to a problem and the people who are reporting the violence as well as the need to incentivize participation and reporting. At present, the connections between a citizen making a report and the institutional responders are tentative or inconsistent, and a "trust bridge"—a term offered by Mr. Hersman—should be formed between the two sides. Huge institutional shifts might be required to form such connections and trust. Law enforcement is beginning to make this shift through the combination of social media, citizen reporting, and police practice. Dr. Viswanath cited the importance of institutions maintaining contact with citizens, especially those under stress, so they have an ongoing connection.
Mr. Halley echoed other speakers, agreeing that the larger the network, the more powerful it is, and that cross-boundary connections are important for innovation. His remarks were based on a paper he co-authored, "XBC: Creating Public Value by Unleashing the Power of Cross-Boundary Collaboration."2 The central questions that this work tries to answer are: How can maximum value come from a network? What network structures are best for which purpose? How does one manage structures, and what should be considered in developing a network? Technologies for online collaboration can allow much larger numbers of people to become involved than is possible with the traditional networks used to find information or solve problems. Mr. Halley cited three steps that are at the heart of cross-boundary collaboration: connect, innovate, and execute. Connections break down barriers and increase the broad awareness of situations. When organizations take advantage of connectivity, they can rapidly source information and solutions at lower cost. Given the transboundary issues and complexity in the world today, Mr. Halley said an approach able to rapidly handle complex situations is needed.
Dr. Rosenberg mentioned the important role that advocacy groups have played in preventing and countering violence. Advocates began working to prevent violence against women 35 years ago. Attention to HIV/AIDS was galvanized by advocacy groups. Other types of violence prevention are now being supported by emerging advocacy networks, often facilitated through social media.

Chinese President Xi Jinping addresses students at Seoul National UniversityUpdated: 2014-07-04 22:50:36 KST
President Xi Jinping became the first Chinese president to speak to a group of Korean students at a local university on Friday.
In an address to some 500 students at Seoul National University, the Chinese leader vowed to further strengthen bilateral relations between Seoul and Beijing through their strategic cooperative partnership.
He used strong words to recount the suffering of China and Korea under Japan's militarism in the early 20th century, describing Tokyo's actions against the two countries as "barbarous and aggressive."
Xi said that when the war against Japan was at its height, the Chinese and Korean people experienced a shared suffering and gave sweat and blood to help each other.
The Chinese president's evocation of Tokyo's military past is seen by many as a call for Korea and China to confront Japan over its denials of history.
He also said that both countries could deepen their mutual understanding by diversifying their cooperation in the cultural arena.
"China will open up a new horizon in China-Korea relations as China will pursue peace and cooperation between the two countries. China and Korea must cooperate in order to open up new opportunities. We will strengthen cultural exchanges in the humanities and liberal arts. This will help foster friendly ties among the people of both countries."
President Xi said Korea and China are each other's closest partner, biggest investor and most favored place for travel, which has led to rapid growth in Korea-China relations.

Just a "Good" Guy With a Gun Until…
People make poor driving decisions all the time in New York City, and occasionally the NYPD will be on hand to issue a summons. Yesterday morning, they started off thinking that it would be another routine traffic stop.
It wasn't.
While driving in the Village, the driver made an illegal turn north onto Seventh Avenue, which runs in the opposite direction. The responding officers stopped the vehicle, a rental car driven by Victor Greer of Reading, PA, and then noticed two knives in the driver's seat. Looking further, several boxes of ammo were found. A magazine was found locked on the floor with another 20 rounds.
Then, examining the trunk, two AR-15 rifles, a shotgun, and a handgun were found, along with a note.
It's the note that is truly disturbing and makes you wonder what this guy was intending to do.
The note:
"I want to die in combat, so I can go to heaven and meet God."
At the moment, Greer is facing multiple weapons charges.
The Daily News found that he has prior arrests for firearms possession and reckless driving in Pennsylvania, along with a prior arrest in Florida for an altercation with law enforcement. Yet, his mother thinks that he was never violent according to local Pennsylvania news reports that interviewed her yesterday. His mother also indicated that he appeared to be suffering from depression and stays in his room for days after being out of work for two years.
This guy was up to no good, may be suffering from mental illness, and yet here he was in New York with multiple firearms with a note suggesting he was intent on doing harm to others.
The most likely explanation for his behavior may be that he may have been thinking of engaging in suicide by cop, though the fact that he was arrested without further incident suggests he was conflicted over doing so. Either way, he's going to need serious mental health assistance.
It also once again highlights the easy and ready access to high powered firearms without much effort to keep these weapons out of the hands of those who are mentally ill, who have prior arrests, etc.

Cognitive Problems: A Caregiver's Guide
Raising a child with autism and caring for a parent with end-stage Alzheimer's disease are obviously very different experiences. But for the caregiver, there's a lot of common ground, too.
The fact is, taking care of someone who suffers from cognitive problems -- rather than physical ones -- requires different expectations and a special set of caregiving skills. So whether it's autism, Down syndrome, dementia, or a brain injury, what makes caring for a person with cognitive problems distinct? And as a caregiver, what do you need to know? Here are some answers.

Cerebral Palsy Key to Josh Blue's Act
Many a naysayer told Josh Blue that he couldn't be a comedian. But look who's laughing now. The 28-year-old funny man beat out the competition on the fourth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, even though, as he puts it, "there are many white male comedians, but not too many with cerebral palsy." Blue's disability is a big part of his act. "Any joke I tell comes from the perspective of someone with cerebral palsy. I can't say things from the point of view of a young black woman," he deadpans...
Read the Cerebral Palsy Key to Josh Blue's Act article > >
Cognitive Problems: Appearance and Reality
Seeing a family member become sick and physically disabled is terribly difficult. But being with a loved one who is in good physical health but has serious cognitive problems is devastating in its own particular way.
When your mom with Alzheimer's disease sits across from you at the table, she might look perfectly normal – the same as she always did. But she isn't the same anymore. The gulf between the appearance and the reality can be difficult to handle, and it's something that caregivers are faced with daily.
It can also be difficult to get sympathy or understanding from friends or family members for what you're going through as a caregiver. There may be no outward sign of your loved one's illness -- no wheelchair or crutches or oxygen tank to help them understand. After talking to him for a few minutes, your neighbors might think your dad with dementia seems as sharp and funny as ever. Your friends may say that your son with autism or daughter with Down syndrome seems like any other kid.
You know differently. You know the backbreaking effort that goes into caregiving, and you know the pain of having a loved one suffering from a cognitive problem. Not getting that recognition and validation can make caregiving especially difficult and lonely.
Cognitive Problems and Caregiving: Specific Issues
There are several other issues that caregivers of people with cognitive problems need to cope with.
Memory problems. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, strokes, brain injuries, and other conditions that cause dementia can devastate a person's memories. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis can also cause memory problems, although they may be subtler.
For a caregiver, memory problems can be incredibly frustrating. You can no longer rely on the person for basic information – when she last took her medications, or saw a doctor, or had a shower. With severe dementia, the memory loss becomes so extensive that a person can no longer care for herself.
Communication problems. If you're a caregiver, communication with your loved one is crucial – it's the only way to know if you're giving him what he needs. But with conditions that cause cognitive problems, even basic communication may be difficult or impossible.
Children with autism often have very delayed speech and some have lifelong difficulty communicating. As MS and Parkinson's disease progress, they can also diminish a person's ability to talk. A parent with dementia may be able to speak clearly, but what she says may no longer make much sense.
Caregivers are often forced to guess about what their loved ones with cognitive problems want. That can leave them constantly worried that they're missing something -- that their loved ones are trying to tell them something that they can't understand.
Behavior problems. Though behavior problems vary according to the condition and age of the person you're caring for, people with cognitive disorders may have trouble self-regulating their behavior. Emotional outbursts are common with many cognitive problems. At its worst, a person's behavior can become violent and dangerous, either to you or to himself.

BNHR Letter to El Paso Democrats on Obama's Deferred Action - September 24, 2014
2115 Piedras, El Paso, TX 79930 (915) 577.0724 320 Lincoln, Anthony, NM 88021 (575) 882.1177
Glenn Maya
Chairman of the El Paso Democratic Party
El Paso, Texas
September 24, 2014
Dear Mr. Maya
We are border residents and members of the Border Network for Human Rights who have been organizing for 16 years in our border region to bring about a just and fair Immigration Reform that would provide a pathway to citizenship to millions of immigrants who call this country home.
We have experienced many setbacks along the years in our efforts to impact the national debate; however, we have never before felt both sides of the political spectrum be so inhumane and unwilling to bring about legislation to legalize millions of families facing separation and deportation.
In the last few years President Barack Obama has increased, time after time, deportation programs such as Secure Communities, to target immigrants around the country and has allowed an unprecedented militarization process of our border communities; all of this only to appease the anti-immigrant Republicans demands for more punitive border enforcement. Such political decisions has left us with a record-breaking number of more than 2 million immigrants deported during this administration and has not brought us any closer to Immigration Reform, an electoral promise to Latinos by the President and the national Democratic leadership.
As if these actions were not enough, just a few days ago Latino and immigrant families suffered the latest blow, another broken promise by the President and the Democratic leadership; the postponement of the President's Executive Action to stop deportation until after the November election.
The reasoning for such a terrible decision is based on the fears that Democrats might lose some Senate seats if the President moves forward with any type of action to provide relief to millions of undocumented Americans. Meanwhile, between now and November, more than 60,000 persons will be deported, and many more American families will suffer separation and division.
And now, during these election times, they are telling us that the responsibility to keep the Democrats in control of Congress is placed on Latino voters this November, even after the leadership of the Democratic Party and the President have not fulfilled their promises. This is the reason that polls of Latino voters show such dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party, raising a very important question of whether or not the Party is a viable choice for Latino and Hispanic voters.
Furthermore, we now know that the delayed Executive Action by the President on immigration, scheduled for late November or December, will not provide relief for all hardworking immigrant families already in the U.S. and it will trade off our border region by further militarize it.
As unique communities living at the border we cannot stand for broken promises and actions (or inactions) that hurts our families. The Democratic Party and the President need to do what is right for Latinos, immigrants and border residents and not follow in the footsteps of Governor Perry and deploy the National Guard to border cities.
Therefore Mr. Maya, we have seen the goodwill and understanding that most local Democrats have shown when it comes to Latinos, immigration and punitive enforcement, but goodwill is no longer enough. We call upon you and the democratic leadership in El Paso to stand with our community and make a public statement on the following points:
1. Question and condemn the broken promise of the President by delaying the Executive Order to stop deportations, leaving more than 60,000 Latino families separated and divided due to this electoral decision.
2. Call upon the President and the national Democratic leadership for a prompt Executive Order on immigration that will not exclude any hardworking immigrant families already in the U.S.
3. That an Executive Order on immigration that offers further militarization of our U.S.-Mexico border region will be unacceptable and damaging for our communities.
Mr. Maya, today members of the communities of West Texas and Southern New Mexico stand together in demanding action of those who represent us and we hope you will stand and support our concerns.
Fernando Garcia,
Executive Director

An ode to somewhereto_ re:store (the high street heist) by 15 year old Said Bakari
My local high street is Bromley High Street.
Bromley high street is built up of mostly big brands ranging from McDonald's to Primark. The high street supplies Bromley with a lot of money because of the popularity of the shops and the income they get. But a problem with the shops in the high street is that they don't give back to the community so the only people that their work is benefiting is themselves. I believe that if places like McDonald's donate some money to their local communities then they could increase the amount of clubs and workshops to help the young people.
The advantages of Bromley High Street is that because its so popular it attracts people from all over and it is a well populated high street. Also another advantage is that because only big branded shops are in the high street you wont find many gangs there because they'll tend to hang around shops that aren't as high profiled. A problem with Bromley High Street is that if you are performing on the high street without a licence you are told to leave so that sense of community is automatically taken away. and if you have a talent that you want to showcase you cant do that unless you pay to perform.
I think empty shops should be refurbished into rooms that fit a specific purpose and these rooms will then be leased to teens that need them for a specific reason. These rooms should promote teens to practise their talents and to pursue their dreams. I think the somewhereto_ re:store is doing a good job because its giving teens a chance to express themselves.
somewhereto_ re:store (the #highstreetheist) is a high impact campaign seeing young people take over a series of shops across the UK (from #London to Manchester, Glasgow, Bangor, Cardiff, Newcastle and beyond) for a six-week period, having launched in London on 18 July.
We're putting disused shops into the capable hands of local young people to deliver events and activities that will benefit their future ambitions as well as revamp the high street and engage local communities.

In this post we will explore the power of storytelling in competitive deals. Storytelling is an undervalued skill. It is the reason you lose competitive deals you think you should have won.
There have been many sales methodologies focused on uncovering needs. They will tell you to match your solution to those customer needs. This is only part of a successful strategy.
To win a deal, you need to appeal to two different minds.
Sales Leaders frequently look for logical evidence to determine if their rep will win the deal. Sometimes, a sudden loss leaves the rep shocked. "Our project was a better fit!" they pout. "They will be sorry". Many of these failed efforts are a result of emotional misalignment. The rep appeals to the logical mind. The customer was swayed by emotion evoked by a competitor.
People often don't act logically. If your competition tells a more compelling story, they are in position A.
Some think that storytelling is an innate talent. You can either tell a story or you can't. Not true. Like anything else, storytelling is an art learned through practice and repetition. The Compelling Story Guide will help you and your team becomes better storytellers. It will help you outshine competitors.
So how can you create alignment between your story and the buyer's emotions? Appeal to their "personal motives". Buyer Personas help you focus on your customers' fears, and personal goals. By understanding the buyer, you can provide both logical and emotional support. This is done through content, personal interactions, 3rd party references, etc. You pull the buyer through the process by speaking to the questions they are asking themselves. The overarching theme that drives action by the buyer is a cohesive story.
I am going to use politics as an example. I realize this is dangerous. I am not advocating a political position!
President Obama won his elections by telling a story that drove an actionable response. The response was a vote that represented the majority of voters. Some people couldn't logically justify how he won.
How did he do it? His team did extensive research on voters. He understood the fears and personal motivation of the middle class. During each appearance or debate he addressed their fears. He painted a picture of the glorious future. Look at his campaign slogans. "Yes we can" and "Forward". They focused on future possibilities versus past issues. He also developed a storyboard for his campaign. This storyboard was the foundation of every speech, debate, and appearance. You could argue whether Obama was more or less qualified than his competition. Either way, he told a better story. According to John Dickerson at CBS News, "When voters were asked which candidate cared more about them, Obama won more than 80 percent of those voters." Yet he won only 50.4% of the popular vote.
By doing so, he has won two Presidential elections. There is no bigger sales campaign. He was selling to 197,828,022 registered voters. That is a lot of stakeholders.
What is the point? We have all heard the expression, "people buy from people". What that really means, is that buyers need to make an emotional connection. When you lose deals to competitors, it is not always obvious why. Research indicates price is secondary to criteria such as surfacing risk, trustworthiness and culture fit. These are accomplished by telling a story that connects to the buyer's emotions.

Recipe: Homemade Ketchup
Recipes from The Kitchn
As if to turn on a dime, the little person I cook for and eat with most often went from proclaiming that oysters were her favorite food to announcing that her favorite food was in fact a hamburger. I knew this would happen.
So, in an effort to temper meat consumption, but still occasionally provide her with what she says she loves, we make a big stink out of it: clapping out our own patties, simmering sweet onions, and now, making our own ketchup.
If you want a decent bottle of ketchup from the store, it's possible. There are numerous artisanal food producers making small batch ketchups. You can even find a bottle of Heinz made from organic tomatoes and no high fructose corn syrup. But making it at home isn't difficult at all, especially this time of year when funky tomatoes are abundant (and often discounted) at my local farmers' market, it seems the proper thing to do to get in the kitchen and simmer down a couple of pounds of tomatoes into our own homemade ketchup.
Your average ketchup has tomatoes, vinegar, a sweetener, plus various seasonings and spices. In commercial ketchup, the sweetener is usually sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. The seasonings can vary from a simple lineup of salt and pepper, to a longer list including onions, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, some heat from cayenne or other ground peppers, and even celery. So clearly there's a lot to work with there, nothing esoteric ingredients, no crazy equipment.
I recently met the amazing Alana Chernila, author of The Homemade Pantry, a wonderful book about making your own pantry ingredients. I asked her about ketchup and she waxed poetic. To Alana — and many of us — a good french fry is really just a vehicle for condiments like mayonnaise, spicy ketchup, or malt vinegar. "The search for my own perfect homemade ketchup was all about pumping up what I love about ketchup (just the right blend of spice, tang, and real tomato flavor) and getting rid of what I don't love (all that sweet high-fructose corn syrup)," Alana said. I couldn't agree more.
For my recipe, I take the middle road: I sweeten it with brown sugar with a dash of extra molasses for depth, add a few spices from the above list based on whatever is in the pantry, and most recently I started quietly adding a few dashes of fish sauce, a trick I learned from my new friend Peter Barret. Many recipes call for a food mill, but it's just as good made in a blender and a sieve.
The simple formula is simmer some tomatoes with garlic and/or onion, add vinegar and any of the spices you want. Blend it, strain it, then stir in the sweetener (honey? maple? go for it!) and simmer more. Chill. Ketchup. It's that easy. Who knows, you and some other people I know may even want to start putting it on oysters...
Homemade Ketchup
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
4 pounds ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cored and chopped (or 4 pounds red cherry tomatoes, halved; or three 14.5-ounce cans tomatoes, drained)
1/2 cup cider vinegar (or white or red wine vinegar)
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
Heat the olive oil in a wide heavy-bottomed non-reactive pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, stirring constantly. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, salt, fish sauce, black pepper, allspice, cayenne, and ginger and cook until the tomato pieces fall apart, about 20 minutes.
Working in batches, purèe in a blender until smooth and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in the brown sugar and molasses, return the mixture to the stove and cook again over medium heat, stirring often, until it thickens a bit more, between 15 and 30 additional minutes (depending on the type of tomatoes used.) Taste for seasoning.
Let the ketchup cool to room temperature, where it will thicken a bit more, then transfer it to jars with tight-fitting lids. Will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Can also be canned for longer storage.

THIS is a very cool idea! Curious as to how long it will keep and best ways to insure stability.
My mother in law made her own catsup (kethcup) and I was amazed at the burst of yummy flavor not found in a bottled store brand. Worth the delicious effort!
Brown sugar is key! I'm also a big fan of adding cloves for extra kick. I posted a recipe of my own: http://www.thedabblist.com/homemade-ketchup/
I puree the tomatoes in a food processor and strain out the seeds before cooking. Over the years I've found this the best way to speed up tomato processing for recipes.
Sometimes, when processing large batches, I skim off the clearer liquid off the top of the pot and reduce it in another, much hotter pot... and then put the reduced liquid back in at the end.
We'd have to eat burgers and fries every other day to consume a full pint in a week! Can this be frozen in an ice cube tray like pesto?
I like to add a tsp of harissa (hot & spicy North African pepper paste) to our ketchup bottle, its tang compliments the vinegar and sweetness in the tomato sauce. Now I'll have to just try making my own full batch to see if it takes it up a notch.
We're also big fans of Cuban/Filipino banana ketchup, I can only imagine how good a homemade version would be, yum! Thanks for the idea.
Sigh. I used to scoff at the idea of making my own bread and ketchup, but now I wouldn't be caught dead with storebought bread in the house and this homemade ketchup looks amazing! Think it'll go with humble pie? ;)
Hmm... I might have to give this a try! We have a 13 year old who loves ketchup and will go through copious amounts if allowed. I really dislike the HFCS and we since we have a bunch of romas ripe this may be a win-win situation.
Sara Kate, you rock! I JUST had house-made ketchup yesterday at Burger Up in Nashville (traveling there on biz). It was so good and I wondered about making some myself. And here we go...thank you!
To make mine last longer, I use a lacto-fermented recipe (no I dont live in Portland :)
Basically stick to the recipe above but add 2-4T whey (from strained yogurt). Mix it in, add to jar. Top with an additional 2T whey to block air from touching ketchup, and leave on counter for about 72 hours.
First time I made it I was really wary of the hippie-fied version, but it was DELICIOUS!!! All the flavors meld and its just... better? Like chili a couple days after you make it; same flavor meld idea! It keeps for a while, Ive kept mine for 2 months with no problem.
I've been making fruit ketchups all summer, but I just made tomato ketchup this morning! Very similar to this recipe, but I also added ground mustard, paprika, and a mystery spice blend from an unlabeled jar that I'm pretty sure was either curry powder or garam masala. Every time I make tomato ketchup at home, I wonder why I don't do it more often...
The smell of ketchup has made me ill since I was a child. I have no idea why because I love tomatoes and tomato-based sauces. It's so bad that I have to leave the room if I catch the smell because it will actually make me gag. I'm wondering if home made would be better...
We're doing a cook-a-long to this book in our book club - maybe I'll have to make this as one of my choices!
I'm I the only who thought of Meet Me in St. Louis?
My two cents on the topic: use a big crock pot for long slow cooking and yellow tomatoes for a brilliant orange color. Which is not to disparage Sara Kate's batch -- that's a great color. Sometimes things can come out darker.
I add Rapadura (candy made of sugar cane juice) in my homemade ketchup. :)
Rapadura is the pure juice extracted from the sugar cane (using a press), which is then evaporated over low heats, whilst being stirred with paddles, then seive ground to produce a grainy sugar. It has not been cooked at high heats, and spun to change it into crystals, and the molasses has not been separated from the sugar. It is produced organically, and does not contain chemicals or anti-caking agents.
@Zoe AS - No, I thought of it as well. I love that movie despite what people think of me for it.
This looks like a neat little project but I think I'll let Hunt's continue to make my catsup.
Sorry, but you'll have to pry the classic Heinz from my cold dead hands first.
George Stella (Low Carb and Lovin'It on Food Network) has an easy recipe for sugar free ketchup using tomato paste and sauce, for those of us who don't have tomatoes lying around.
Wen you say this can be canned, is there anything outside of the normal canning process you need to do to put this up? This looks exciting, I love a good ketchup.
Last year I made Yellow Tomato Ketchup with an abundance of yellow and orange tomatoes from our garden. This year, I'm working on a batch of Spicy Smoked Ketchup. After about 6 hours in the smoker, I cooked down the the tomatoes, ran them through a food mill to remove seeds and skins and now working on the spicing and seasoning. I got some really cute bottles with one-piece twist caps that can be processed and sealed in a hot water bath canner. Christmas gifts!
Or just buy ketchup and it'll last you for months. The beauty of technology and progressive ideas.

By far the best & longest lasting brow definer that I've tried. It is a little pricey, but worth the money because I think it will last a very long time. I have dark hair, but dark powders and pencils are usually too dark and make me look older & kind of severe. I bought the universal brown, which seems very neutral and flattering. I think even people new to brow pencils would find it very easy to use and get it right.
Meh. I had high hopes for this product, but I'm not impressed. I like the twist-up component and the fineness of the "lead," but there's no "universal" brow color, which this proves (it's a bit dark, no matter how lightly I try to apply it), and it's quite soft, which makes it easy to overapply. The staying power is good, but that's the best feature of the product. Give the price and my experience, I will not repurchase.
Being a blonde with "ashy" eyebrows, it has always been a challenge to find a brow pencil that isn't too light or too dark (and red brown). I have been faithfully using maybelline's expert wear brow pencil in blonde for yearsss. although its pretty much the perfect color for me, I've noticed it tends to smudge, and after half the day ends up looking kinda creepy and fake (mostly in these hot, summer months). So today while i was at dillards i decided to purchase dior's brow styler and I absolutely love it!! It comes in universal brown (yes, brown. I was very apprehensive at first) however, it somehow magically matches your brow shade when you apply it. it truly is universal! Love how thin the pencil is - it gives me a much more natural look than expert wear did and staying power is wayyy better. I also love the brow brush on the other end. The only qualm I have with this is that there is no cap on the pencil side - it just twists back down into the tube. It goes down far enough so that the pencil won't get on anything or break, but I kinda worry about dirt/dust getting in there.. However, as of now I would still repurchase this regardless because its amazing! Well worth $29 to me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It was my luck to run into Dior's national artist Rita Brown at Macy's! She did a simple everyday look for me and I ended up buying this eye brow pencil (because I already have everything else she used on me). It's such a nice product to have. No need to sharpen, no need to grab a separate brush after applying. The texture is more like powder than wax. Best of all, the color is universal. Save me from killing brain juice trying to decide which color I should buy! It is easy to use even for brow shaping dummy like me. And the staying power is wonderful as well.
The only draw back is it costs 29 dollars for 0.003oz. Which is less than one gram. I think it will only last for three months. But I will repurchase for sure.
Just wonderful, why did I have to try this? The pencil is great, color is the best I've ever tried but it is so dang expensive. I have medium to dark brunette hair & brown/green eyes. This made my eyes pop which I have never seen with a brow product. No red in the color - Anastasia, Maybelline, MAC all their dark taupe shades go a little red on me. Consistency is not waxy - more like a very hard powder pencil, very precise & color lasts all day. Packaging is great - sleek, winds up & down, handy spoolie on the other end. I use it pretty much every day & it lasted almost a year, but $30?!? I'm trying to find a cheaper replacement, but I will say it was worth every penny. If I can't find this color anywhere else I will repurchase.
Only one color here 'universal brown' so it serves all eyebrow colors. This is a great product, I've tried several eyebrow pencils and they either are too brown or too pinky/beige...this color comes through for me, brownish/blond hair. I wish they had put a cap on the stick end but there is a cap on the built in brush. This will last you a long time because you don't need much and it's not 'mushy' if that makes sense, so it will not travel or wear off. I'm realizing that while costly, Dior is a totally underrated brand...everything by them that I have bought lately, lipstick, foundation now this, lasts forever so in the long run it's not expensive. My hunt is over for an HG brand!
This is my HG for brows.
You can twist it to get more product.
It $30-32 CND but well worth it if you can afford it. It looks very natural and comes with a brush at the end (just pull the cap out).
The only con is it comes with only comes in one colour.
There is not much product but you only need to use a tiny tiny bit.
Best brow pencil on the market.. I agree a great sub is the anastisia pencil, however, the colors aren't quite right on me. To make this pencil last longer I fill in my brows with the benefit brow zings first (which lasts forever) and i define and fill bald spots with this guy. I currently work for benefit, so i always have to have perfect full brows... which is difficult because my brows grow differently and i have a scar in the middle of my brow. This pencil makes them look flawless.
I bought this based on reviews. I was willing to fork over the money on something that worked and this does. I have dark brows (but light blonde hair) that I bleach a tiny bit lighter. I also have issues with bald spots in my brows...especially at the part by the bridge of my nose. This pencil makes my brow issues a non issue.
Really like the packaging on this, a twist up pencil on one side and a spoolie brush on the other. This color is perfect for my dark brown hair, and looks really natural. I have really full brows but they seem to look patchy on camera, this fixed that right up! Very easy to apply, then flip around to brush it through. Excellent product!
