Add a cooking competition to your summer partiesLeave a comment
June 3, 2014 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
It seemed like a joke — a birthday party/backyard barbecue/banana pudding bake-off? So many slashes, so much to wrap my head around for one afternoon at my friend Christine's house.
Nine bakers made their version of banana pudding. All the dishes were numbered so guests didn't know who made each entry. Then, everyone scooped and ate to their heart's content. Right as our bellies were about to burst, we wrote the number of our favorite entry on a slip of paper. The number with the most votes was the winner.
Somehow, this amalgamation of an event I attended last week not only worked, but stands out as one of the best parties I've attended as an adulthood (because honestly, nothing competes with some Chuck E. Cheese action as a kid).
Need a last-minute Mother's Day gift? Go for edible gifts (with a side of flowers)Leave a comment
May 9, 2014 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
The horses have barely finished kicking up dirt at Churchill Downs, yet it's time to turn around and celebrate another big occasion.
I've always thought that the Kentucky Derby and Mother's Day are just a little too close together to give moms in the state proper justice. You want me to pick a horse, down a couple of mint juleps, AND plan a bomb brunch and buy a fabulous gift for my beyond-fabulous mother all in one breath?
Month of May, have mercy on me.
A Passover Seder, a fish fry, and how food brings us together1
April 16, 2014 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
Sometimes, I can be pretty naive for my own good. Take this blog post, for example.
I've had a case of the warm fuzzies all day after attending my first Passover Seder on Monday. I spent a wonderful evening learning about the Jewish holiday, drinking a lot of kosher wine, eating my weight in matzo, and having some great conversations with folks I would've never met otherwise.
A few weeks ago, I had the tinglies after a trip with two of my best friends to Holy Family Catholic Church's Friday fish fry, a Catholic tradition during the Christian holiday of Lent. There I was, in a gym full of strangers, eating a fish sandwich, listening to someone holler out Keno numbers over the crowd. It was the best Friday night I'd had in ages.
I'm not Catholic. I'm not Jewish. But both communities welcomed me with the one event that has the formative power to bridge divides — a good meal.

Time to reclaim Ashlee Eats for frugal Louisville eaters3
October 8, 2013 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
I thought I had made it. I had a secure job at a huge company. I could pay my bills on time. I bought Rice Krispies instead of Crispy Rice.
For the past few months, I've visited more upscale restaurants high on the fumes of financial security. My budget has upgraded from dollar menu to value meal.
Then I received an $80 dinner bill that kicked me in the pants. I blame the
one twothree cocktails for my lapse in fiscal responsibility during a birthday dinner at a delicious restaurant that shall remain nameless (I'm protecting the innocent; it's not the restaurant's fault I balled so hard).
I felt all the feelings after that splurge:
- I felt full (seriously, that food was delicious)
- I was thankful that I could afford that meal
- I was guilty that I had abandoned this blog's original pledge of eating frugally and had wiled out in the name of YOLO*
- I was sad that there are still folks in my city who can't afford a meal anywhere, let alone an $80 one
- I felt motivated to refocus Ashlee Eats around the four tenets of my food philosophy: buy local, be green, eat frugally, and fight hunger.
I've eaten some delicious food since I started calling myself a food blogger. And sometimes, great food comes with an even greater tab. I'm not saying that I or anyone who can afford it should refrain from treating ourselves sometimes. I'm also not saying that I'm anywhere within spitting distance of rich, or even being able to regularly throw down almost 100 bucks for dinner.
But for me, that $80 ticket reminded me of how long it had been since I followed my own advice about eating on the cheap. It reminded me that I had stopped writing so much about hunger and frugality in exchange for the more upscale dining I've encountered. I stopped being a good steward of my own food philosophy, on this blog and in real life.
I'll write more about good deals around town, either at fancy places or just regular ol' spots. I'll share more recipes, since you can save so much money by staying in a few nights a week. And I'll broadcast more events that provide an opportunity to give back to our community so we collectively kick hunger's behind.
Oh, and I've gone back to Crispy Rice.

My two pennies on the Louisville food truck fiasco7
July 18, 2013 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
I hesitated to dip my tow in the recent conversation that has dominated Louisville social media about the cleanliness of food trucks.
In case you missed it, WAVE 3 aired a story recently by reporter Eric Flack about the sanitation and safety of food trucks, mobile eateries that park on the street or at events and serve dishes out of the sides of the vehicles. Eric reported that Metro Health and Wellness inspections "reveal trucks that were cited for food on the floor, dirty kitchens, cheese sauce at potentially hazardous temperatures, mislabeled toxic items and cooks without hair nets." He went on to interview the chief health inspector with Metro Health and Wellness, who said she never eats at food trucks because of sanitation concerns. You can read and watch the full story here.
This feature lit up on the Twitter feeds and Facebook pages of food trucks and customers. The overall feeling was that WAVE 3 at best, got the story wrong, or, at worst, sensationalized a non-issue.
The Root Mobile: The latest Louisville Kickstarter project worth your donationLeave a comment
April 5, 2013 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
The owner of The Root Cellar has worked hard to bring farm-fresh, local food to Louisville, and now he wants to take his market to the streets.
Ron Smith, founder of The Root Cellar food markets, has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 for the creation of The Root Mobile. Ron's goal is "to transform an old bus into a mobile market bringing our farm fresh food to the people who have the least access to it."
The Root Cellar is located in two brick-and-mortar locations — the original store at Third and Hill streets in Old Louisville and the corner of Kentucky and Swan streets in Germantown. So why put produce on wheels? Here are some of Ron's objectives:
• increase the access to local foods in our community by taking The Root Mobile to neighborhoods called food deserts
• raise awareness for the need to change the paradigm of food delivery
• create a new business opportunity for The Root Cellar
• provide input into those areas of the South/West Ends of Louisville that would best support a permanent location for a third store
I regularly shopped at The Root Cellar when it first opened in 2011 and I lived right around the corner. Ron is not only one of the nicest people I've ever met, but he really cares about the community and the ability to access local food. I'm happy to see that he has taken on this project, and I happily pledged my support on Kickstarter.
As of Thursday night, The Root Mobile has raised $4,833 toward the big $10,000 goal. The project needs to raise the money by April 29 to be funded. If you're interested in contributing to The Root Mobile, visit the Kickstarter page here.
What restaurant should replace Lynn's Paradise Cafe?3
March 19, 2013 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
The scuttlebutt about Lynn's Paradise Café just keeps churning.
The latest news about this now-defunct Louisville restaurant staple is that the owner, Lynn Winter, wants to sell the restaurant, the Courier-Journal reports (click here for more background on the closing).
Winter said she is "going to be really picky" about who she sells the café to. Fortunately, I'm not picky. Nor do I have a stake in this fight. That means I can spout off a list of what I would like to see go into this prime real estate at 984 Barret Avenue:
- Guaca Mole. This restaurant has become my new favorite place to eat. Fortunately for me, this Mexican restaurant is located in the East End. Unfortunately for everyone else, it's only located in the East End. A Guaca Mole outpost in the Highlands would fare well.
- Wild Eggs. My love of this breakfast/lunch spot runs deep. Putting a Wild Eggs branch in this location would give post-Derby revelers an affordable, great place to brunch.
- A soul food restaurant. And not one of those fancy soul food restaurants where a plate of grits costs $12. I'm talking about a place with a Kool-Aid of the Day (a real item at a Las Vegas restaurant I visited once), cornbread made in cast iron skillets, collared greens cooked in pork fat, and a "meat and three" special that only costs about $8.
- A barbecue joint. Because you can never go wrong with barbecue. Scientists have proven it. Give me some pulled pork, crispy coleslaw and baked beans, and I'm in heaven.
- A 24-hour bakery with delivery services to the greater Louisville area. A woman can dream, can't she?
What restaurant (real or imagined) do you think should replace Lynn's Paradise Café?
A food blogger needs a food tattoo, right?2
March 12, 2013 by Ashlee Clark Thompson
You're looking at my lower back. My muffin top area, if you will. Upon that muffin top is a permanent slice of cheesecake, a tattoo that I've affectionately named Lulu.
This is my first and only tattoo. Kudos to the amazing tattoo artist Amanda Pepper in St. Louis for creating this. I knew I couldn't go wrong with an artist who shares my love of desserts and Golden Girls.
I don't want to wax poetically about what it symbolizes (visit the blog F Yeah Tattoos if you're into that). I'll simply say that Lulu is a little souvenir from my 20s that I get to carry with me for a lifetime. And it's as cute as a button.

World Cup 2014 begins on Thursday, June 12.
Social media is a company's best friend -- until it involves copyrights and trademarks. The latest example: Sports broadcasters are cracking down on 6-second clips of the World Cup.
After Brazilian star Neymar is seen donning a pair of colorful Beats headphones, soccer's governing body makes it clear that Sony is the games' official sponsor.
Fancy watching the draw live, wherever you are? Now you can with FIFA's app for iOS and Android.
The partnership with Russian carrier MegaFon for a prototype network timed for the soccer competition should help pave the way to faster mobile networking than today's fourth-generation tech.
At future World Cups, it will probably be rare to see a miscalled goal ruin the momentum of the game. Here's why.
The match between Germany and Brazil generated 35.6 million tweets, breaking a Twitter record.
Forget FIFA -- the real World Cup has just finished in Brazil and a team of robots from Australia has taken out the top prize.
Company's first-quarter profit blew past Wall Street's expectations, due in part to FIFA titles. But it's delaying two highly-anticipated games to ensure success.
Samsung releases the second half of its World vs. Aliens soccer match after the World Cup is over. Did the aliens win? Did the world end?
Not only is Germany taking home the trophy, but Twitter and Facebook also saw record numbers during the games with more than 672 million tweets and 3 billion interactions during the last month.

Ugh, I hate when they redo their boards
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-16-2012 - 7:58pm
What is up with the new boards? How come I can't get the posts to refresh so they are on top when someone posts a new message? I tried to go to the link that CM posted but whenever I clicked on it, it said the link was down. I hate digging for stuff. I remember when they redid the boards after my DS was born it was so ridiculous we all left. That's when we moved to facebook and have been going strong since then. We still have 90-something members with probably a good 60 that are active on a weekly basis.

Hi there,
I'm sorry that you are so frustrated right now. Our tech team is working very hard right now to iron out some of the kinks we've been experiencing since we rolled out our in-house boards.
You are right that that first link I shared isn't redirecting at the moment. However, I wanted to share a link with you to our iVillage Help topic. CD Jessica will be posting updates to the message board fixes there (and feel free to post any questions/comments/concerns there as well).

Also, you can send me an email at email@example.com as well if you have any questions I can help with. I'll be sure to get back to you as quickly as possible.
Thanks so much for your patience!

I've heard that the signatures and avatars are slowly trickling back in. Some members have reported that their most recent ones are showing again. Mine were missing so I just went in and added them. Did you happen to upload your newest sig to photobucket or something similar? If so, you could snag the code from there and put it back in. If not, hopefully it will show back up on its own very soon.
|Fri, 10-19-2012 - 11:40am
I don't even know what is showing for me. I came back from vacation and tried to check the board, and then had to dig around to find it, and then I kept getting errors when trying to open a thread. Like I can't open that weigh-in thread posted in this section. And yesterday, i kept trying to reply to Amber's post but the site wouldn't let me. Blah. I guess looking on the bright side, all the ivillage issues help keep our group size down to the 10-15 active members we have versus the ECs of old that would have a 100 people posting to them.
|Fri, 10-19-2012 - 12:06pm
Hi there,
Unfortunately the problems you are experiencing with opening threads is related to an issue with user names.
From Jessica, our Community Director:
"2. Re-importing missing user accounts (those "Visitor (Not Verified)" accounts), which is also related to the Error pages we get when we click on a thread.(What happens is this: when we click on a thread, the system needs to load all the info about that thread – the content, the settings, and the users attached to it. As the system searches frantically for the all the users participating in that thread, when it hits a missing user account, the page load fails.)"
It is a top priority that they are working on resolving as quickly as possible.

Hi there,

I know it is high on the priority list to be fixed so hopefully we'll see some improvement soon. CD Jessica is posting updates about the bugs being fixed on the mobile site.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday townhome in Santa Fe
Townhome, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
Beautiful Lodging Three Blocks to the Plaza!
This lovely town home is a very nice alternative to small and expensive Santa Fe hotel rooms. Everything is of high quality and decorated with local art, ensuring a pleasant stay in a perfect location.
Pueblo-style architecture, viga log ceilings, real plaster walls, slate tile floors, kiva fireplaces and original New Mexican art ensure a true 'Santa Fe' experience!
Enjoy all of the amenities you'd hope for in a high end lodging: Luxury baths, full kitchen with all utensils and appliances, internet connection, high thread count sheets, washer/dryer, A/C, radiant heat, private patio and more.
Walk around the corner and be at the Plaza without having to worry about parking with your two underground, secured spaces. Absolutely the best location in town for the new Convention Center, too; it's right across the street!
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with great separation of space. The master bedroom has it's own fireplace, jetted tub and private deck. Each of the two guest rooms also have their own baths. The third, main floor bedroom/office is the smallest and doesn't have a window but has access to the living areas and it's own bath with shower.
Relax on the patio (with outdoor gas fireplace) or on the upstairs deck.
Entertain and prepare meals in the fully stocked, large kitchen with sitting area and built-in computer desk.
Stroll to museums, restaurants, shopping and galleries and then head back to the peace of your own 'home' in Santa Fe.
A stay here is like having the best 'Luxury Suite' in any of the hotels within walking distance to the Plaza but with much more space and privacy.
Keywords: Townhome
- Suitability:
- non smoking only
- pets considered
About Chip Lynch
Chip Lynch & David Masse
Hometown Denver, Colorado.
Chip Lynch purchased this townhome in 2006
Why Chip Lynch chose Santa Fe
We had been coming to New Mexico and Santa Fe for almost twenty years and decided we wanted a place to call our own!
We collect New Mexican art and artists and love the amazing work that they do. New Mexico is like no other state and I'm happy to be a small part of it. We travel a lot and the arts, restaurant and cultural scenes in Santa Fe are world class and it's surprising how well it is known around the world. We recently rented an apartment in Bordeaux, France and the French owner was on his way to....the Santa Fe Opera!
What makes this townhome unique
We chose El Corazon because of it's wonderful location; we can walk to almost everything in town. We were just tired of expensive hotel rooms, too, and wanted more space and a kitchen while we were in Santa Fe. We can relax by the fire, in the patio or entertain in the kitchen. Plus now I have an official place to put more of the stuff we collect! We only own one place in Santa Fe, so we're not part of a big rental company, ensuring a personalized 'Santa Fe' stay.

Are Websites Just for ECommerce?
Posted By Michele Miller On March 28, 2007 @ 7:02 am In Multichannel Marketing,Offline Persuasion,Research | 3 Comments
[1]This past weekend, I had the pleasure of presenting a seminar on the topic of marketing to women, to the National Association of School Music Dealers [2]. During the segment on the importance of effective websites, a participant raised his hand. "We don't have e-commerce on our website," he said. "If we're not selling online, is it really important to invest in a good website?"
I could have given several answers, but with limited time, I simply presented him with one statistic. According to a recent study [3] cited in eMarketer.com, 58% of broadband users who did research on a product made the purchase in a store.
Not surprisingly, the room became very quiet. I had just provided a wake-up call.
You may not be selling product online, but you're definitely selling your brand. You'd better do a good job convincing me online that you're my best choice; otherwise, you probably won't see my face in front of your cash register.

Guest Experience Starts with: Enhanced Staff Communication?
By Mila Petruk ~ Exclusive insights of the industry
Tuesday, 3rd June 2014
Exclusive Feature:
The easiest things in hotel business always seem to have the hardest implementation and the logical thinking tells us that the best structure of the hotels is the one, which encourages staff communication.
The reason is that staff communication helps the following:
Guest requests to proceed quicker
Guest requests to be fulfilled in full
Guest requests to be professionally maintained with all follow-ups after these requests are satisfied
Important data to be stored properly
Important data to be transmitted without substantial losses
Important data to be used at needed moments of time
All these factors guarantee that what the guests expect is usually done and never abandoned. Guest experience usually starts from the first contact with the hotel, when the guest makes sure that what is shown on the website, catalogue or simply heard from a friend can become part of his reality. This is one of the most important moments for the hotel. You can never miss the chance to make a good first impression.
If at this stage information provided to the guest and information requested by the guest is mistreated or misinterpreted, this becomes a huge disappointment. We all know that big hotels usually outsource call centers. However, every outsourcing process has to be maintained by in-house management.
Simply because in-house people are about their guests, while call-center employees do their job and never think about the guest experience. Many of them do not even imagine how the guest experience looks like.
Therefore, we recommend to wisely outsource all processes which are part of this first impression setting of the guest experience. In other words, if such processes are outsourced, all information had to be stored and processed in-house and in full amount. We also recommend making random service checks of all your outsourcing agents (mystery calling) to make sure this whole cycle of information flow is properly addressed.
The second period, which is critical in terms of staff communication, is the actual arrival of the guest to the hotel. Your hotels departments may be working like Swiss clock in check-in procedures, baggage handling, welcome cocktails and other traditional experiences of guest arrival, but this Swiss clock will stop without the battery, or simply fuel, which drives your people to communicate with each other.
In our opinion, those hotels, which dont make their employees, discuss work and guests at work are nonsense. Hotel staff has to share guest stories. Hotel staff cannot live without guest stories. Hotel staff needs to talk guests in order to make sure they do not forget anything the guest requests.
The request of the guest at check-in to make a short tour and show him the emergency exit on his floor is not spoken to the bellboy who brings the guest and his(her) luggage to the room. A simple call from front desk to the bellboy may save the situation. And this should be a priority despite the queue of others waiting for check-in and despite the fact that front desk does not have to be responsible for the actions of the bellboy.
There is always a temptation for the hotel staff to forget things intentionally. Not because they hated this particular guest, but because they believe that their field of responsibility is so limited according to SOPs that they are not allowed to delegate and share functions with other employees.
Finally, the third moment, which is the longest one but probably the most unsuccessful if the first two were missed, is the actual stay of the guest. This is the error correction time. If the guest was mistreated at reservations office or during check-in, this is the best time to remind him(her) of his(her) importance to you.
Hotels may take information sharing seriously or may not. But the guests always tend to remember all their requests word by word, and will never be feeling comfortable and having this amazing safety feeling if you forget about something important to them. Make sure your hotel literally speaks, and this speech is short, precise, and guest-oriented.

Candidates for the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors squared off in a forum put on by the Chamber of Commerce.
All four candidates for the board attended, talking about their goals and priorities for the county.
In the Rivanna district, Tony O'Brien and Fred Kelly are running for the open seat. O'Brien favors investing in infrastructure.
"We have a huge opportunity with the growth of Zion's area, to show that we can be a gateway from the eastern part into Virginia, into the Central Virginia area. I think we have that opportunity and we should seize on it. Fluvanna will benefit in a great way if we do that. We'll see our schools benefit, we'll see our core services benefit, and we'll see our citizenry benefit and our tax base benefit from that. So, that's my biggest priority, is to bring economic development to Fluvanna so that we all benefit as citizens." said O'Brien.
Kelly wants to be careful raising taxes.
"I'm on a fixed income, I know what that's like, I don't have cable television, I'm worried about every penny. So, people need to be protected. It isn't just one way and not the other. I'm ready to work with everybody to come up with some solution that works, or solutions," said Kelly.
In the Columbia district, Mike Sheridan and Elizabeth Franklin are running for the seat. They shared their thoughts on their priorities for the county.
"We gotta...restore the trusting relationship that our county once had with our leadership. I think we have to get everyone involved. There's no team that's ever been successful that's been a group of individuals," said Sheridan. "And secondly, we have to be able to balance our tax base. We have to get economic development, but it has to be controlled economic development. We have to allow our county to grow. And by doing this it will alleviate some of the burden that our individuals are having to face."
"We have more debt than Albemarle. We have the highest tax rate of any county in Central Virginia. We've got to be realistic about what we can afford. And our high tax rate is a detractor to businesses at the same time that we want to attract them. We've got to solve that problem," said Franklin.
Franklin added that keeping Fluvanna affordable for residents, maintaining its rural nature, and creating water infrastructure that will pay off taxpayers and bring businesses were also priorities.
The candidates have just under four weeks until the election on November 5.

- Summary: It is a desperate time for the Emperor. A terrible Chaos Plague defiles his lands, ravaging the populace and weakening his armies. Meanwhile, the Dwarf holds in the nearby World's Edge Mountains have come under siege by a massive greenskin horde. Honor-bound by an ancient oath, the ruler of the greatest nation of men in the Old World has dispatched several regiments to assist the embattled Dwarfs, further depleting the Empire's already thin defenses. In this dark hour, a new threat appears. Under a sky darkened by a crimson eclipse, a great warhost erupts from the wastelands of the north. Bearing the banner of Tzeentch, Changer of the Ways, the army of Chaos marches south for the borders of the Empire, crushing everything in its path. With the Dwarfs fighting desperately to slow the ferocious greenskin "Waaagh!", the Emperor realizes that his only hope of defeating the encroaching legions of Chaos lies with the High Elves of Ulthuan. Upon receiving the Emperor's dire plea for help, Finubar, Phoenix King of the High Elves, sets sail at the head of a mighty fleet of warships laden with battalions of High Elf warriors.

Public Quests are some of the most fun I've had in PvE, and, as I mentioned, crafting feels a lot more like an alternate activity than just something else to grind.
The license is strong, the game is great, and the quality of the content is second- to-none. If servers are stable, players are listened to, and expansion content is as well tweaked, inventive and superbly written as its launch material, this could be the game that savages WOW's subscription numbers.
But when things do come together, it can be a near-perfect storm that balances questing, instanced scenarios, and open world RvR that makes it feel like you're gliding through leveling rather than grinding. [Holiday 2008, p.64]
EA and Mythic finally released their star title, and they did well on the lasts months. Warhammer Online manages to include one of the most interestings PvP systems of the recent MMO, and explodes the Games Workshop franchise to the bone. The Old World is live and rich, and it is out there for you to explore. If you join the order or the chaos factions you´re guaranteed hours of endless combat and hundreds of locations, enemies and items to visit, kill and collect. While is not top notch in visuals, it just do it very well taking the player into another universe.
Age of Reckoning is like a rough diamond that needs to be polished. The core of the game is more than fine and will offer you tons of enjoyable gameplay. The only thing that we are worried about is the support from developer Mythic. But if they keep this level of support up then we will see no problem in Warhammer becoming a classic in the MMO World.
WAR is not about redefining the genre, and to complain it resembles WoW is to criticize it for being a fantasy MMO. Where it excels is group-based gameplay. [Dec 2008, p.64]

A Bend man, Luke Wirkkala, has waited more than a year to find out if he'll go to prison for shooting and killing his house guest, 31-year-old David Ryder of Bend, last February.
Now the state's case against Wirkkala is in the home stretch. On Friday, attorneys will present closing arguments, and then his fate will be in the hands of the jury.
Wirkkala's murder trial focuses on a fateful night in February 2013, when he gunned down Ryder with a shotgun blast.
Wirkkala claims he was attacked and sexually assaulted by Ryder after a night of Super Bowl partying.
On Thursday, the defense team finished calling its character witnesses. They hoped to prove Ryder was both physically and verbally aggressive when drinking. Specifically, the lawyers want to prove Ryder was sexually interested in men.
Several of Ryder's former co-workers at G-5, a digital marketing company, testified Ryder would make homosexual references to them when drinking.
"He would be pushing me to see if I was homosexual," one G-5 employee testified. "Asking me kind of loaded questions, to see if I was homosexual."
Another of Ryder's coworkers said, "He would come up behind people and kind of hump them. He had actually done it to me once."
On Friday, jurors will get instructions on whether they'll have the option to convict Wirkkala of a lesser charge.
NewsChannel 21 will be in the courtroom for the final day of the trial and have a full report. Follow @KandraKTVZ for the latest.

During a climb in turbulent conditions, the most-outboard five inches of one propeller blade separated from the aircraft. Due to the violent vibration that followed, the pilot shut the engine off and made an emergency landing in an open field. An examination at the NTSB materials laboratory determined that the blade section had separated due to a fatigue crack that had propagated through two-thirds of the chord of the blade. The origin of the fatigue crack was determined to be an area on the leading edge where the blade had been damaged by impact with a foreign object.

My passion is helping others build passionate communities online. Yes, I know I used "passion" twice; that's how strongly I feel about it! More powerful than having a blog, hosting a podcast, creating a Ning community, Twittering incessantly or zombie bites on Facebook is the true power of social media: to create active, engaged communities of real people speaking in their real voices about the things they care about. In Cluetrain Manifesto, the authors say that one definition of community is "people who care about each other more than they have to." This is where the power of social media lies--in creating a space where your most passionate enthusiasts can participate actively and humanly, both with you and with each other. I have spoken at Podcast and New Media Expo, the Graduate School of Business, various Chambers of Commerce, and the Chicago and Rocky Mountain Direct Marketing Associations as well as a smattering of local and national topic-specific conferences and teaching regular podcasting classes in Chicago. Twitter me, leave a comment on the blog or message me on Facebook--I'm always happy to help out fellow social media evangelists.

Lower panel: Section through a liver lacking TAF4. The cell membranes are less well delimited (in green), and the bile ducts are defective (dBDs) and do not form a proper lumen to drain the bile from the liver.

The group of Irwin Davidson have discovered a novel role for the TAF4 protein in hepatocyte maturation opening the way to understanding its eventual role in diabetes. The results are published by Alpern et al., on 3 October in eLife.
While the amount of total mRNA seemed little affected when SAGA is inhibited (bottom), the net production of new mRNA in the mutants is drastically reduced on all the genes (top).
Sept. 15, 2014
A study coordinated by Didier Devys in Làszlò Tora's team at the IGBMC highlights the crucial role of the SAGA coactivator complex in the transcription of our genes, largely underestimated so far. Indeed they proved that it has a role throughout the entire transcribed genome and is essential for proper functioning of the RNA polymerase II. These results are published on September 15th in the journal Genes & Development.

At the bottom : Details of protein interactions between the exit site of the mRNA at a ribosome (i), and the entry site of the mRNA on the following ribosome (i + 1). These details show a continuity of the channel that contains the mRNA (red dotted line), from a ribosome to another without forming loops, which allows it to be protected inside.

Key elements of protein synthesis, ribosomes are sometimes positioned like beads on a string on the messenger RNA to amplify the effectiveness of translation. While little information was available about the precise structure of this assembly, microscopists and crystallographers of Bruno Klaholz's team managed to determine its precise configuration in 3 dimensions, providing new information on the mechanisms of translation. These results are published November 7th in the journal Nature Communications.
According to the location of damaged genes in the nucleus, the cell is able to trigger different and adapted repair mechanisms.
Nov. 3, 2014
The double-strand DNA breaks are particularly dangerous. The research team of Evi Soutoglou at IGBMC has just discovered that the choice of natural repair mechanisms of the cell, in response to this type of injury, depends on the location of genes in the nucleus. These results are published on the 3rd of November in the journal Genes & Development.

28 April 2011|
People from all nations are jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon in unity to reduce the amount of volume we add to landfills from here on. Space is running out, and we all know existing landfills will not simply empty out so that we can refill them. For this very reason, we have also begun to pay more attention to the items of which we are tossing into the landfills. Many products and packaging units have been redesigned or manufactured to be biodegradable, and those which cannot be are recycled and reused.
The science of what to recycle and what to throw in the trash is not as convoluted as it appears. Essentially, it can be paralleled to medical studies. For example, doctors are now theorizing that consistent, cell phone-to-head contact may result in cancer. More specifically, the components of a cell phone when regularly coming in contact with your brain may result in tumors. Two safe assumptions can be made when these studies are announced. 1) Use the speakerphone function on your cellular device more often. 2) If it may cause cancer, it probably should not be absorbed into the Earth.
Cellular devices today are getting better and faster by the minute. Technology is a wonderful thing, but that does not mean it should be contaminating our landfills even further. Cell phones contain arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, and bromiated flame retardants. All of these toxic substances will leak out of the device and into the Earth when thrown into landfills. This will result in poisoning of the soil, water supply, vegetation, animals, and eventually humans.
Obviously, one cellular device in a pile of 40 million pizza boxes will not destroy the ground we walk on. But what if you found out that consumer electronics were accountable for 40 percent of the lead found in dumps today? According to WireFly.com, this is the case. They also report a number of states and members of the European Union who are passing laws regarding cell phone recycling. New York, as an example, now fines consumers for discarding of cellular batteries and providers for not having display signs describing their free recycling services.
The impact cell phones are making on the environment is substantial. To slow down these negative effects, sell your old phone to recycling centers, donate it to programs that provide cell phones for battered women's shelters, or return it to your service provider. More often than not, cell phone service providers are excited to accept your device for refurbish and resell, or just to use the old parts. No matter which route you choose, you can be confident that your cell phone will not be the one adding mercury and lead into the ecosystem.
Marietta Recycling does not recycle cell phones..... but we encourage you to fine a center and donate!

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday home in Windermere Island - Hamilton House
House, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 7-8)
From the patio of Hamilton House, you can enjoy unblocked views of the Atlantic sea. At low tide 100 metres from the shore, you can see a coral reef.
Originally built by, and until recently owned by the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, Hamilton House has played host to members of the British Royal Family including HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who regularly stayed here as a guest.
This beautiful holiday home has four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, sleeping a total of 8 people. There are two private patios off the bedrooms facing the Atlantic sea.
The large 45 feet long living area is an ideal space for family gatherings and meals, making it the ideal villa to rent in the Bahamas. You can walk each morning along the most beautiful 3-mile beach in the Bahamas without seeing another soul. Good sport fishing such as bone fishing, with Eleuthera being well known for it's bonefish, as well as reef fishing, can be had on the Atlantic side or on the Caribbean side at West Beach 5 minutes drive. Excellent surf fishing on the beach in front of the house can be had for jacks, barracuda, and much more.
Hamilton House shares a lovely ocean-view pool (close to the house but not visible from the house) with several adjacent homes. Guests at Hamilton House also have Club Privileges and access to The Club at Windermere, with a restaurant, bar, pool and tennis courts. All within a 2 minute walk from Hamilton House.
Amenities at Hamilton House include AC, wifi, satellite TV, dvd player, ipod dock, double kayak, sailboat, 3 bikes, kids beach toys, board games, boogie boards and basic snorkel gear. Hamilton House comes with daily housekeeping every day except Sundays and holidays.
Windermere Island is a private island attached by a short, security-manned bridge to the mainland.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
About Matthew Simon
We are the Symes family from London, UK. We have been coming back to Windermere since 2007 with our 4 children aged between 10 and 16.
Matthew Simon purchased this house in 2012
Why Matthew Simon chose Windermere Island
We fell in love with Windermere Island and the local people and decided to buy our own property. We love either being in, on or under the sea and so it was an ideal location. We chose Windermere on Eleuthera for its peace and tranquillity, one of the best pink sand beaches in the Caribbean and for its laid back charm. It is the perfect barefoot vacation and nice to escape the cold European Winter weather!
What makes this house unique
Hamilton House is designed to be a simple yet functional home for families to gather for their vacation. The house benefits from 3 double bedrooms, and one single bedroom so easily sleeping 7 people and also has two foldaway beds to accommodate 9 at a stretch. It has a large living space where family and friends eat together and enjoy each others company. For those who need to stay in touch with the 'real world' free WiFi broadband in included in the rental. It's really the peace, tranquillity and sheer beauty of the setting that make Hamilton House so special and keep us coming back year after year.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"We loved this beach house, which was very spacious and accommodating for our family of 7. Terrific views of the ocean and there is nothing like drinking a cup of coffee and watching from your bed the sun rising above the Atlantic. The palm trees, landscaping, and pool are very well done - this place is cared for, but not overdone. We went in April and felt like we had the island to ourselves. It was great to be able to snorkel 30 yards off the beach and see a live reef. Just amazing how pretty and peaceful everything was.
On the other side of the quiet street is a path that takes 1 min to reach the club, where we found ourselves each afternoon getting out of the salt and breeze to enjoy a swim and have an early evening cocktail. Very comfortable pool and the staff at the club are super helpful. Chef Phil is wonderful, making lobster tacos, ceviche, and pan seared hog snapper. Outstanding meals and you can also find locals to come cook for you in your house. Grocery store is 30 min away and you need to stock up for breakfast and lunch.
The bone fishing in the sound is some of the best. We hired a local captain to fish hard one day and see all the marine life another, including sharks, rays, box fish, bone fish, turtles and conch, which we found and had fresh conch salad on the boat. Great times."

Follow us:
Tuesday, an APD spokesperson announced a revised policy to deal with aggressive animals.
Last April, Officer Thomas Griffin was responding to a domestic disturbance call when he arrived at the wrong house.
Resident Michael Paxton put his hands up upon seeing Griffin, and seconds later, Paxton's 7-year-old blue heeler approached Officer Griffin and was shot and killed.
The shooting prompted a review of the current policy on aggressive animals. APD officials say cadets will now receive two hours of instruction about how to deal with animals that are potentially dangerous.
They will learn how to read the body language of an animal and how to differentiate a perceived danger versus actual danger of the animal. Current officers will receive the same training in 30-minute blocks before their shifts start.
After an investigation into the specific Cisco incident, a police spokesperson says no policy violations were found.
The revised policy goes into place July 1. The new training begins immediately.

5 people shot inside Fat Kat Lounge
Updated On: Feb 16 2014 11:09:22 PM EST
Five people were shot inside Fat Kat Lounge in Murray Hill early Sunday morning. One victim died and four others were taken to a hospital.
Patrol officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office were working off-duty outside the business on South Edgewood Avenue near Roosevelt Boulevard just before 4 a.m. when shots were reported inside.
Multiple units responded to secure the scene. More than 200 people were inside the lounge at the time, according to police.
Four people shot, including the one who died, were taken to a hospital by private vehicle. A fifth victim -- who has life-threatening injuries -- was transported by rescue personnel.
Their identities along with the identity of the person killed were not immediately released.
Edgewood at Plymouth Street was closed while police conducted their investigation.
JSO did not release any information on a possible suspect or suspects.
If you have information about this shooting, call police at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

Why It's So Easy to Fail on Mobile [Data]
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you already know that the mobile market is becoming increasingly important. The big guys know this too – last summer, Google pushed advertisers into mobile with the transition to Enhanced Campaigns, and Bing recently announced it would be following suit this September.
Experts are seeing mobile search volumes grow much faster than desktop, and some forecast they will even exceed desktop search volumes as early as next year.Mobile vs. Desktop Local Search Volumes (BIA/Kelsey Forecast)As mobile searches have been heating up, so have rumors about the implications for mobile advertisers. Rather than speculate, let's quantify what's important for mobile marketers out there today with real data. What's a good CTR for mobile... > Read more
Announcing PPC University: Learn PPC Marketing for Free
If you want to maximize your online advertising budget and get the most bang for your buck, you need a solid understanding of how paid search works and how to best manage your AdWords account. But where do you even start?Paid search marketing can be incredibly intimidating for beginners – there's a lot to learn and the industry is changing all the time.
Google AdWords is the most popular PPC platform, but can also be the most complicated for marketers to manage. In 2013 alone, Google made over a thousand changes to AdWords. It's almost impossible to keep up.That's why we created WordStream PPC University: an organized educational resource enabling marketers of all skill and experience levels to take their AdWords strategy to the next level – for free!Millions of visitors have already... > Read more
Call Tracking Metrics: The Top 5 Metrics for Inbound Calls
You may have heard the big news that WordStream has added call tracking software to its arsenal of PPC tools. This means you can now track the campaigns, keywords, match types, ads, and landing pages that drive inbound calls to your business. Not only that, each call gets recorded, so you can refer back to it for marketing and training purposes.
It's a pretty freaking sweet feature, and, if you use it, it may change your business.Let's assume you already know it's freaking sweet, you know that inbound calls are worth 5 to 10 times the value of form fill leads, and you've got call tracking set up. Now what?Now you start tracking performance so you know what's working and what's not. You already know the traditional AdWords metrics, including which campaigns, keywords, ads, and la... > Read more
Commercial Intent: How to Find Your Most Valuable Keywords
High commercial intent keywords are like invitations from prospective customers. They beg you to tempt them with your wares. They tell you, loud and clear, that they have money in their hands (or burning holes in their pockets), and they want what you're selling right now.The intent of the keyword should affect how you target it.
For example, if someone is clearly in the "early research" phase of shopping, the keywords they use will have less intent – maybe something like "do I need a lawyer?" You can target that keyword with a content piece like a checklist. Content marketing is all about getting in front of the customer early and making a good impression. Maybe later on, he'll come back when he needs you.However, if someone definitely does need a lawyer, they might use a hi... > Read more
The Greatest & Most Complete Intro to Mobile PPC EVER
Get this: since last year, mobile paid search advertising has increased by 55%. Even crazier: Mobile PPC now accounts for one-fifth of total advertising spend.We keep hearing that advertisers aren't seeing great ROI from their mobile ad campaigns, though.

So You Want a Job in Paid Search? How to Break into PPC
As summer begins, the market is flooded with hordes of recent college graduates eager to join the workforce. Searching for a new job in an increasingly competitive market can be a daunting task, especially for those with limited work experience. I remember back when I was first applying to jobs, this felt like an infuriating Catch 22—how was I supposed to gain experience if no one would give me an opportunity?Welp, the good news for aspiring PPC marketers is, you don't necessarily need to have a lengthy CV to make an impression on hiring managers.
If you play your cards right, you can get your foot through the door with little to no professional experience.If you're looking to get your first big break in the PPC industry, here are a few tips:Apply for the right position.Be realistic ... > Read more
Do Paid Search Ads Drive Brand Awareness?
What if search advertising were able to impact not just clicks and conversions, but top-of-mind brand awareness?This was the question Google set out to answer in a just-released study with Ipsos MediaCT. In it, they found that search ads have a positive impact on top-of-mind awareness, but also on unaided brand awareness – even when the searcher doesn't click the ad.
Search ads may be known as a direct response tool, but Google's research points to real value for branding, as well.The study, which consisted of 61 simulated search experiments involving 800 U.S. consumers, identified an 80% lift in top-of-mind brand awareness.In each of the studies, consumers were asked to perform searches for category-specific searches spanning 12 verticals. They then saw either a control page or a simula... > Read more
Case Study: Does Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) Really Work?
With all the recent advances in targeting offered in Google AdWords, I thought it made sense to take a deeper look at one of the AdWords features that has almost become old hat to PPC marketers at this point. Dynamic Keyword Insertion is a tool that is often overlooked in the sea of new features and betas that Google continues to churn out, but this staple feature can make a drastic and immediate improvement to your paid search account performance.
Google defines Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) as "an advanced AdWords feature that dynamically updates your ad text to include one of your keywords that matches a customer's search terms." PPC marketers know it as putting those funny little brackets and the word "KeyWord" into the ad copy so that the search term will show up within... > Read more

Did Google's 'Not Provided' Decision Slow Down Brand Bidders?
By now, nearly everyone in the paid search industry has heard about Google's decision to stop passing query data in its referring ad URLs. After an initial panic, many of us were brought back to our senses by some well-reasoned posts from industry experts. Among them was WordStream's own Larry Kim, who explained very clearly that search query data isn't dead.
Advertisers will still be able to pull this information from the Search Terms Report and through third-party platforms that use the AdWords API.Figuring Out Who Was Impacted by Google's Policy ChangeSo if the impact is pretty minimal for most advertisers, where are the effects being felt? After asking ourselves this question, we developed some criteria to evaluate whether an advertiser's campaigns would be significantly hamp... > Read more

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) Firefighters say a sign-making business in Fort Collins was heavily damaged by a fire early Thursday morning.
Flames were coming from the roof of the Signs Now building when firefighters arrived.
They fought the blaze from outside because of concerns about the building's stability. Crews fought it from ladders above the building and near the loading area on the ground.
No one was injured. Police call the fire suspicious and are investigating whether a burglary at a nearby business reported while firefighters were extinguishing the blaze was related.
Capt. Patrick Love said that a sprinkler system might have saved the building.

With the advent of the transcriptomics and proteomics era, researchers are attempting to understand the fundamental mechanisms
underlying the differences between the cell lines producing low and high amounts of the protein of interest. Seth et al. used
the DNA microarrays and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) for eleven GS-NS0 cell lines to show that major functional
class changes between low and high producers are in protein synthesis and cell death/growth.28 A recent report showed that there is a positive correlation between the specific productivity and the ratio of heavy- to
light-chain mRNA expression of an antibody produced by a GS-NS0 cell line. The report also showed that the use of Northern
and Southern analyses can highlight the presence of any abnormal mRNA species (in terms of molecular size) and can also indicate
if the functional integrity of the site of insertion of the transgene has been compromised.29 The set of information generated from the above mentioned techniques can serve as useful markers to identify the overproducers
among various clones early in the clone selection phase and there is no doubt that such techniques will be used to a greater
extent in the coming years. In addition to understanding the mechanisms of cell productivity, it is equally important to understand
how the stability of gene expression is conferred to a clone. This area of protein expression is also not well understood
and there is a clear need to determine the molecular markers that can help identify stable cell lines early in the project
cycle. There is also a need to enhance the understanding, at the chromatin level, of the specific regions of the genome that
confer genetic stability to a transgene as well as the transgene integration approaches that can specifically target these
After a clone is selected, the next task is to develop the growth medium. Simple, defined media for bacterial systems have
been developed since the initial days of biotechnology manufacturing. Such media contain a carbon source (e.g., glucose, glycerol),
a nitrogen source, a phosphorous source, mineral salts, and buffering components. Complex media, using yeast extract, casein
hydrolysate, etc., are also common. Compared to bacterial media, the cell culture medium is rather complex. In the past, fetal
bovine serum (FBS) was an essential component for the propagation of mammalian cells. Many industrial mammalian cell growth
media developed in the 1990s did not use serum. They did, however, include multiple serum fractions containing hormones, growth
factors, lymphokines, cytokines, transport proteins, attachment proteins, serum albumin, and lipid supplements. Such a medium
that is not supplemented with serum but includes the discrete protein and bulk protein fractions is commonly known as serum free medium. Due to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) concerns, there is a strong motivation to develop processes without any serum
derivative. Such processes, often called animal-protein-free processes are currently the most prevalent and often form the bases of current platforms being developed by many companies. The media
for these processes may contain complex ingredients like hydrolysates. The latest industrial development has been to create
formulations that do not depend upon the inclusion of any complex raw materials. Such completely defined media have been successfully
developed.30 It remains to be seen, however, if the industry will universally adopt the use of completely defined media, because the
complex media ingredients are often believed to be the key determinants of productivity.

also: 5 course Baroque Guitar and Guitarra de Golpe (Marriachi)
Jump to the chords
Included here are three pages of basic chords for 5 course Vihuela. These cords are identicle to open position 6 string guitar chords without the lowest pitched string. The tunings spelling is likewise identicle, beeing A D G B E (simply omits the guitars low E). These are the beginner chords, the open position chords (chords on the first three frets) and the basic barre-type chords.
Five course Vihuela of 1510 and beyond is virtually identicle to five course Baroque Guitar of the 1600s and early 1700s, and five string Guitarra de Golpe of 1900s classic Mexican Marriachi bands and period correct revivals thereafter. Guitarra de Golpe tuning is a form of re-entrant tuning but having its two highest pitched strings tuned an octave lower than normal. The word golpe means rhythm or beat, so its rhythm guitar.
As you play those chords, picture yourself 600 years ago on the Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria because someone was doing the exact same thing on their instrument ;)
The 5 course Vihuela chords are also available in PDF for printing, see below.
Printable high-resolution PDF, 540k download. The essential open position chords (chords in first three frets) plus barre type chords. You can see these Vihuela chords locally as well.
