Knock, knock, knocking on a donor's door
We recently received a very kind message from a new supporter, the kind of note that is too good to keep to ourselves.
If you have the chance to read this endorsement of our staff of door-to-door fundraisers, please do.
- Sorcha Hogan, Direct Marketing Officer
'His hard work is appreciated'
To whom it may concern,
This evening I was greeted on my doorstep by a young man collecting for your charity. As someone who has had more than my fair share of charities begging for my money, I don't think I've ever had such a pleasant experience! So I thought it best to send an email to let you know just how well this young man is doing.
His name is Jack. This evening at around 7pm in Kingston, he told me all about the charity and was incredibly friendly and polite, despite the freezing cold weather.
I explained that I am unable to pay a direct debit due to issues with my bank. However I have promised him I will make an anonymous one off donation, purely because of his smiling and upbeat attitude.
I myself have worked going door to door before and I know how disheartening, cold and sometimes depressing it can be! Which is why I think this man deserves a simple email from myself, explaining how much his hard work is appreciated.
Many thanks,
[A new supporter in Kingston]

Dear Children's Society Had
Dear Children's Society
Had your fundraisers knocking on our door tonight. Very friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable. Unfortunately they weren't very well trained for handling a response that went along the lines of 'happy to make a donation however not happy to hand credit card details over to a stranger on the door'.
They wouldn't take cash donations at the door - fair enough. But wanted me to sign up to a direct debit donation at the door. Sorry but we have a rule - we never ever give out bank account information to anyone at our door/on phone/or email unless we can verify their security. We have no geniune way of verifying who we are giving our banking data to so we just will not. Plus asking for direct debit but saying no to cash seems designed solely to get an ongoing commitment - great for you but not so great for us as we both work for ourselves and can't commit to having set funds in a set place in the future.
Not great to hear that you pay the hard working door to door staff via donations collected as the two staff we met with were very desreving but in an area where people are very cautious about financial secirty.
Hi, Today 1 of your
Today 1 of your door-to-door fundraisers (in Preston, around the Avenham area at 2pm) made my mum feel very uncomfortable.
She doesn't speak English very well so was reluctant to fill out the form and they made her feel bad for not doing so. They didn't look very proffessional so she was very unsure as to whether they actually worked for the Children's Society anyway.
Please ask this fundraiser (if you know which one it was) to be a little more courteous.
Thank you.

Had a lady knock on my door tonight ( in Heysham, Lancashire) with a children's society collecting box. Now wondering if it was genuine. Would rather have given via Gift Aid. Do you do door to door with collecting boxes?

Raw milk
- p
- pat hammond Mar 8, 2001 11:03 AM
I met a woman last night who has a dairy farm and sells raw milk. She said that Maine State Law requires buyers to bring their own container. What's the deal with that, I wonder? I've long wanted a source of unhomogenized milk. But raw? I'm a little uncomfortable with unpasteurized. Should I be? Anything I should know about the farm, cows, et al.?
They also have free-range chickens and eggs for sale. Rural life is looking up! pat
You lucky gal! Unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk from a small farm is a rare treat; unheard of down here. I can't speak for everyone, and I know the official (USDA, etc.) line on this is don't drink it; but I drank raw milk every day of the summer I worked at a dairy, with no ill effects. Another thing you can do with it besides drinking, is to get a yogurt or kefir culture -- both should be available at your local health-food store -- and grow it. Kefir usually matures overnight; yogurt may take a few days. Also you can check your local cultures by leaving a jar of warm milk on the windowsill overnight to sour. If it smells good the next day (i.e. not like a sewer) it is safe and healthy to drink (and good for the digestion) -- you will not be confused about the smell, it will be obviously good or obviously bad. When I say "warm milk" I don't mean you should heat it, I just mean unrefrigerated.
re: Jeremy Osner
Jeremy: You're my HERO! Thank you, thank you. It *is* kind of exiting. And the eggs! Freshly collected eggs. Now that's something to cluck about. She said if I planned to come, to do it before mud season, so she's OUT there. pat
re: pat hammond
Hi Pat,
You're welcome -- Jen Kalb's post made me think I should note about timing -- uncultured raw milk you should really drink within 24 hours of milking. I would assume the dairy you found is selling milk from this morning's milking; you should check to make sure that is true, and use what you buy within the day -- either drink it, cook with it, or set it up to culture.
re: Jeremy Osner
I buy raw milk every couple of weeks from a Mennonite farm and have been doing so for the past year. (Ok so I don't actually "buy" it I donate to their farm.) I get up to 10 gallons at a time (cooled till I get home) then I freeze it. The unfrozen is always best but just keep shaking after thawing the frozen stuff and it's great.
It is wonderful stuff can't say enough for it. Can not only make yoghurt but also cheeses (nothing like the flavor of cheese from raw milk), as well as butter (remember store-bought is pasturized as well).
Never had a moments problem. Am raising my children on it. Buy farm-fresh eggs as well. Next step is to get my own cow (just bought the book "Family Cow" it full of information even if you never actually take the jump).
re: JoAnna
You are freezing it? I have tried to freeze it... it always is off. What are you doing to make it right?
re: Sal Vanilla
After I thaw it (in the refrigerator), I shake it very well until I see the cream and the milk blended together again. I actually shake it in the bottle even if I don't freeze it... before each time I pour it, because the cream separates... The farmer I buy from, his milk is half cream/half milk in the gallon bottle, God it's so delicious.
I only had to freeze it when I lived in Chicago, I had to go over a 100 miles to a farm in WI so I bough a lot for the time I knew I couldn't make the trip next week. Now I buy it fresh from a farmer a few towns down so I can have it fresh any time I want to. I now even get an extra bottle just to leave it out over night to make butter milk. Yumm :)
You probably should be uncomfortable. I grew up with a dad who is a dairy technologist. Every so often we visited his aunt's small dairy farm in upstate NY, where we were treated to absolutely delicious milk and cream essentially straight from the cow. They would always send us away with a container of milk, which he would pour by the roadside as soon as we got a decent distance away from the farm. He felt that even with adequate refrigeration the risk of bacterial growth in the unpasteurized milk was just too great to carry it away for later consumption. I would hope that farms that sell "raw" milk directly to the public are even more rigorous in their sanitary and refrigeration practices than farms which sell exclusively in bulk to dairies but that may not be so. I guess my advice is to be very careful about who you buy raw milk from and how scrupulous their sanitary practices are. Refrigerate the milk immediately after purpose and use it up fast. I still remember the taste of that fresh creamy milk though...
re: jen kalb
Thanks, Jen. Information is what I'm after. I'm really a babe in the literal woods. pat
re: jen kalb
Current thread on raw milk for drinking and for cheese, and the incidence of illness:
"Raw milk cheese and other unpasteurized dangers? "
I grew up drinking raw milk with no ill effects. But watch out for the first few days after the cows go outside to pasture -- they eat everything in sight and the flavor of the milk can be just awful. This was not just my experience. I started to say something about the first days out to pasture to a friend who grew up on a dairy farm in Peru, NY. She made the most amazing grimace. It was clear she had similar memories to mine!
re: Pat Goldberg
Onion grass?? I remember something like that from my grandfather's dairy farm in southern Maine. He had a small milk route and sometimes his customers would call to complain about off-tasting milk. I recall his ph. # was 22-6, which meant there were 5 other familes on the line! If you had an extended conversation someone would interrupt to tell you that you'd talked long enough! pat
re: pat hammond
Ours was 23R4 and featured a live operator, also a neighbor, to complete calls.
It may have been onion grass. But it sure was nasty.
re: Pat Goldberg
Pat, I was one of those operators back in the late 50s, the year before I went off to college. "Number, please?"
Was talking to some folks last night who drink raw milk regularly. They echoed your caveat about waiting until the cows had been out awhile. pat
re: pat hammond
I'm not sure of the scientific name of the plant, but there is definately something that the cows can eat that makes the milk taste terrible. In southern Georgia where I grew up, my family loves to tell about one of my uncles spitting fresh milk across the kitchen and exclaiming "Betsy's been in the bitterweed patch!"
re: Bonnie Celt
I've heard the same about cows eating just a small amount of certain herbs and their milk amplifying the essence. I believe things like ramps and other wild garlicky herbs do that. I wonder if a cheesemaker could perform magic with milk like that, or if the "flavor" would change or deteriorate during the process...?
re: Pat Goldberg
Apparently single-source milk can have a peculiar taste at times other than this. I am reading a collection of short stories entitled "String Too Short to be Saved" by Donald Hall and came across the following paragraph:
"Sometimes our hay was poor, especially if it had stood too long after it had turned ripe. The juice drained out, and in the winter the cattle would turn up their great pink-and-black noses at it. There was a meadow in back of the Blasingtons' which was thick enough - your foot sank in the soft turf - but in which the weeds and the wild flowers grew as grossly as the pungent grass. Often when we brought in a load from the Blasington meadow we stored it in the lofts of the sheep barn and spared the finicky cattle. For one thing, sheep didn't have milk to be off-flavor on the doorsteps of Manchester."
So I guess it is worth knowing something about where the silage comes from as well.
Pat, I envy you. Please let me know name and address of that farm, you know I live just down from you Farmingdale/Hallowell. I will eat and drink anything that's "un". Grew up with it in the old country. Let me give you an address to get excellent culture for yoghurt, quark and Kefir:
G.E.M. Cultures, 30301 Sherwood Road, Fort Bragg CA 95437 Tel: 707-964-2922, send them a SASE and they will send you a small brochure/price list.
re: Peter B. Wolf
So far all I know is Cornville. Will let you know when I have more info. I'll see her next week.
And thanks to everyone for their input. pat
I had the pleasure of being fed only raw milk for the first five years of my life. We lived in Brooklyn, NY and had raw milk delivered from Walker-Gorden Dairy every day. They referred to it as raw and certified but not homogenized or pasteurized.
Milk in this country is a hugely political food. So-called whole milk is actually a predetermined 4% of butterfat homogenized into skim. This is purely an arbitrary thing. Oh, and by the way, milk doesn't have to be COWS milk like we all have been brainwashed into believing (but not us chowhounds, I'm sure). Cows milk was provided by nature to nourish calves.
The dairy industry is very powerful and goes to great lengths to maintain our mental set regarding their product. A case could be made for the obesity rate in this country being so high in part because of the ingestion of products of the dairy industry, especially because of homogenization; not cows milk, per se, but the way it is processed and then "shoved down our throats" as necessary to children's health and the American way of life.
Hi Pat
I wouldn't worry to much as long as you follow these guidelines, keep it cold, use it up fast. The B.Y.O.B. regs have to do more with our litigious society than they do with unsafe milk. The U.S. has built up a well deserved reputation for being lawsuit happy. The effect of this situation is the near absense of raw milk, and cheese made from raw milk.
I would do this; sterilize the bottle, make sure the milk was very fresh, and keep it on ice for the trip home. Oh, by the way, I envy your good fortune.
Hi Pat,
When my grandparents had their ranch up near Red Bluff, CA., we used to go down the road to Mrs. Joseph's place every day to get raw milk. (Hey, I'm only 38, and know the joys of the stuff).
Do you have an ice cream maker? If the answer is "yes", then when those "balmy" New England summers hit, you are going to have the makings for the best home-made ice cream that you've ever had! The most delicious ice cream I've ever tasted was my Grandpa's fresh peach ice cream, made with the cream skimmed off of raw milk. I am so envious!
Yours in junketness,
P.S. Yoroshiku
I definitely wouldn't buy raw milk in hot weather because the cows stand in pond water in the heat, and their normally crusted-over teat orifices are opened and nasty things like e-coli get in from the dirty (manure-thickened) pond water.
A friend in Duncan OK became very ill after buying raw milk two years ago. I'm sure the "own container" thing is to help protect dairies from litigation from people who become ill after consuming their product.
One good reason is malta fever, or undulant fever, from brucellosis abortus which collects in the uterus & udders of infected cows and is destroyed by heat. When contracted by humans it remains in your system permanently causing fever and severe flu-like symptoms repeatedly, and later shaky handwriting and you can never give blood again. Your state is, I'm pretty sure, brucellosis-free after 50 years of lots of very very hard work.
But yes, under ideal conditions, it is tastier stuff.
My parents grew up on farms drinking raw milk as did my grandparents as have people for thousands of years. Milk is pasteurized to kill bacteria present because factory dairy farms make the cows sick. 70% of the antibiotics in this country are given to factory farmed animals to keep them from being too sick to eat/milk. Raw milk is as heavily regulated in this country as pasteurized milk if you buy it in a store and it's quite superior in taste. It also has enormous health benefits as it's a living food naturally but pasteurization kills the healthy bacteria as well as the bad.
re: littlewonderpics
This is pseudo-scientific nonsense. People have been suffering from milk-borne illnesses (eg, listeria) for thousands of years, as well. Boiling milk is a common practice in places with unpasteurized milk. This playing-with-fire raw milk craze is only coming about because in the US the last of the people who remember the days before pasteurization are dying off.
Technology is your friend. Find microfiltered milk or boil your raw milk, and don't get sick.
re: tmso
TMSO, it hasn't been that long. My mom grew up drinking raw milk and she's in her early 50s. My sweetie did too, and he's in his early 40s.
There have been HUGE improvements to raw milk safety since they were young, too. In my state raw milk is held to a much higher standard that milk that is destined for pasteurization. The raw milk dairies all test their milk in modern labs locally. They charge an arm and a leg because it's so difficult to keep the product immaculately clean. They put so much effort into bringing this product to market. Even if I could keep my own pastured Jersey cow, I'd stick to buying my milk from them.
And science-wise, explain to me why pasteurized milk gives me lactose-intolerance symptoms galore (read: very sick) and raw milk doesn't give me any symptoms. It's not pseudo-science to say that the live nature of the food means something.
re: Vetter
The enzymes that are killed during pasteurization may help you digest milk. I'm not saying that that's so, I'm saying that that's a good possibility.
We have, no make that had, a nice little town run dairy in Simsbury, CT until this year. The dairy was selling both pasturized (in the local stores) and raw milk products. Last spring, approx 12 people became ill with e.coli from the raw milk. Two of them were extremely ill. Unfortunately the dairy is now out of business and they are in the process of selling most of the herd. It is very sad.
I would not take a chance on drinking raw milk unless it was my cow and I "poured" it myself.
Raw milk is sold in grocery stores here in Southern CA. I've been interested in buying some, but have been a little scared.
Based on reading the posts in this threads, it seems I shouldn't buy the stuff in the store b/c it probably wasn't milked that day. Is that right? Has anyone bought raw milk from a store?
re: cookingodyssey
Yes, we've been buying raw milk from Whole Foods here in CA for a few years now, ever since my wife discovered the health benefits. It's organic also, called Organic Pastures.
It really is delicious, and neither my wife or I have ever had any bad experiences drinking it. Great in cereal or smoothies!
re: GK in SO
Have you had the nonfat raw milk? I wonder if it is really "raw" if it is nonfat. I assume they just skim off the fat when it floats to the top.
I recall as a child having milk squirted into my mouth straight from the teat. I still recall the taste of that cow's milk, its butter and its cream. That was when i was a toddler and farms often had their own, solitary milk cow.
However, I don't have to travel far back in my family tree to find someone dead of "milk sickness" or other possible milk-borne diseases including TB.
The nozzles of a cow are located at the same end as its alimentary orfices.
re: DockPotato
I'm interested in unhomogenized milk (I don't care about the un/pasteurized issue) because I want to make butter at home. Is raw milk the only way to get unhomogenized milk in the US?
I've tried making butter from homogenized milk and it just does NOT separate.
Or do you all know a reliable way to make butter from homogenized milk, and from yogurt made from homogenized milk? (The latter makes cultured butter).
re: Rasam
The reason you can't separate homogenized milk is I believe because it has already partially undergone this process.
The separation process you are referring to I think is separating the cream (fat) from the milk. therefore if you want to make butter I would suggest churning cream (i.e. whipping it to the extreme).
re: irisav
OK, I'll try making butter out of cream, thanks.
But what if I want to make yogurt, then make butter from that cultured fat? Any suggestions there?
re: Rasam
I'm not really sure about that one.
Butter made from yoghurt, that's a new one for me! I don't know of any method of separating the fat from yoghurt (although presumably there is some method as how else could you wind up with low fat yoghurt?).
The only method I know of to make butter is via cream. But I guess if you already know how to separate the cream/fat from the yoghurt then it would be much the same as the method I mentioned earlier, just keep churning it.
re: irisav
Low fat and nonfat yogurt are made from milk that has been separated BEFORE making the yogurt, not afterward.
Note that most fluid milk in the United States has been run through a separator and then has cream and skim milk recombined to hit the desired butterfat level in a process called standardization. Years ago they tended to just blend back cream or skim milk with whole milk to adjust the butterfat level, but the current approach is simpler in the plant and more accurate.
Separators use a centrifuge to separate off the lighter cream from the denser skim milk. These machines run from little hand cranked ones that sit on a table to industrial monsters. They are still available at places like Lehman's Hardware in Kidron, OH: http://www.lehmans.com/shopping/produ...
re: Sal Vanilla
Raw milk actually strengthens your immune system. I would simply suggest, if you are new to raw milk, eat yogurt and drink kefir for a week before you switch to raw milk. Us old raw milk drinkers will not get sick from it, even if we stop for years, and start again.
re: DrGraceG
« Raw milk actually strengthens your immune system »
War is peace; Ignorance is strength; Listeria does not exist.
There's a lovely technology called microfiltration that will filter out pathogens without cooking the milk. Failing that, boiling milk is quite effective.
My brother and I were raised for the first 5 years on raw milk - my brother was ill a lot and on doctors advice we changed to pasteurised milk. My brother stopped getting stomach problems mmediately. (he has developed chrones disease later in life so maybe he was predisposed to being sensitive to raw milk?)
re: mamaclogs
Raw milk is fantastic. A real food, a complete food. People who are lactose intolerant do not have problems with raw milk. There is a campaign underway to get people educated on this natural product that is so much better for you than the nonsense with hormones, heat that destroys good bacteria, etc http://www.realmilk.com/
You can easily pasteurize your raw milk at home. In fact, that's basically what you're doing when you heat milk for making yogurt. The heat kills off the bacteria in the milk that might overwhelm your yogurt cultures. No need to boil it. Here's a couple of links:

Just look up
By Trevor Martin
More people should look at the skies. I think that if people would see all that there is in that mind-bogglingly huge space, everyone would be able to move past petty differences here on Earth.
My love of the sky was sparked when I was just a kid. On Halloween, when I was perhaps eight, we were passing through a neighborhood. As we passed a backyard I saw a line heading up to a man and his telescope. I waited and when it was finally my turn I looked through and saw the moon like I had never seen it before. I saw every crater and bump and I knew even at that young age, that this was something I wanted to do.
I would love to just sit and stare at the sky and watch for satellites or shooting stars. Eventually I asked for a telescope for a birthday present. I was rewarded with a cheap little telescope, but I thought it was fantastic. I would take it out to my backyard and turn it to the stars or the moon. It worked, but it was just a little thing.
A few years later I asked for a bigger one. My parents got me an excellent one, with not only a motor, but the ability to really see into the sky. I would turn it to Saturn and could, for the first time, clearly see the rings. I could point it to Jupiter and see the bands of color going around it. It was like something out of a movie.
The most amazing thing however, would be to just find an empty spot in the sky, turn the viewfinder there, and be amazed to see countless stars through the eyepiece. The thought of all those balls of fire and heat made my problems on this little world feel insignificant.
I think that this quote by astronaut Edgar Mitchell sums up my point: From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. I feel that if more people would just look up, then we might be able to move forward without all this fighting over petty squabbles, and differences that really are just skin deep.

Three words: Nat. Is. Amazing.
Nat shot our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier - we are so glad that we went with Nat Wongsaroj Photography to capture these moments. Nat is one of the nicest guys that we've ever met and so accommodating when it comes to meetings, locations and times for shoots (our engagement shoot was at sunset!) and he is always so professional and prompt via email.
As a photographer, Nat is seriously talented. He is so creative and will go to all lengths to get the perfect shot, including furniture moving and balancing acts. There are no cheesy shots in our portfolio - they are all beautiful shots that capture the essence of our wedding day. His work is demonstration in itself that Nat is a true professional.
Also, Nat works so quickly post-event. We had our engagement photo gallery only a few days after our shoot. For our wedding, we had sneak peeks on Facebook within a day, a blog post (filled with gorgeous photos) within another few days, and access to the entire gallery within a few weeks.
Didn't I tell you this guy was amazing? Book Nat Wongsaroj, now! Thank you so much, Nat!

Wailea Condo Rental Photos and Description
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)
Welcome to Kihei, Maui and your oceanfront paradise! This incredibly beautiful condo is only steps away from the water. Watch whales, savor the sunset and enjoy the sound of the waves from the large lanai, the living room or even the privacy of the master bedroom.
Barbecue on the rooftop garden with a 360-degree view including Molokini, Kaho'olawe, West Maui and Haleakala. You are only steps away from both sandy beaches and snorkeling.
Just walk across the street to shop, enjoy a variety of foods in various price ranges, rent dvd's, book activities and more. This central and sunny location is great for exploring the rest of the island.
We have completely remodeled and continually update/improve so you will find new furniture and appliances throughout. Counter tops are granite, showers are walk-in with elegant glass-blocks and smooth pebble floors. The entire, non-smoking unit is tiled and decorated in island-style.
The property is absolutely beautiful and you will truly feel like you are in paradise!
We are a very blessed and growing family of now seven-dad, mom and three kids (a son and daughter-in-law and a daughter and son-in-law) and there is no place we would rather vacation. It is our home-away-from-home and we are happy to share it with you!
Keywords: Condominium
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
About Christine Fletcher
We live south of Seattle and both still work nearly full-time. We usually get to Maui three times a year (for just a week!) to both enjoy our home-away-from-home and to update /improve it. It is a blessing to be there with family and/or friends, but pretty nice to be there just the two of us too!
Christine Fletcher purchased this condo in 2003
Why Christine Fletcher chose Wailea
We love to travel but know that paradise can't get much better than what we find in our own condo at Royal Mauian. The memories made there with our three kids, their friends, our parents and our friends make this a very special place to us!
What makes this condo unique
Royal Mauian is a beautiful property in a prime location. You can explore the island or go no further than the pool and you will have a wonderful vacation!

It was nearly a year ago that I authored a post predicting ten hot trends in cloud data for 2012. While there's a strong temptation to cast old predictions into ancient history and dive into ten predictions for 2013, I felt it more appropriate to first glance back and reflect on how those past predictions fared.
After all, much can transpire over the course of 12 months — hot technologies cool off, fads pass, buzzwords vanish — and, of course, some technologies really stick. So let's take this opportunity to revel in our success or eat our humble pie. Without much ado, here are the predicted 2012 trends and how they fared:
- Hybrid data storage environments which integrate cloud storage into on-premise IT. 2012 brought key validations by cloud service providers of hybrid storage environments via product roll-outs and acquisitions. These included the introduction of the AWS storage gateway and the acquisition of StorSimple by Microsoft. Verdict? Needless to say, you'll hear a lot from us at TwinStrata after the end of this year regarding hybrid cloud storage adoption, so stay tuned…
- Private cloud environments within enterprise companies. While managed private cloud solutions such as Nirvanix have demonstrated continued success, open source clouds for the enterprise do-it-yourselfers have not quite emerged as viable alternatives. Moreover, factions have emerged between OpenStack and CloudStack for supremacy in the open source cloud space, perhaps complicating decisions. Verdict? The jury is still out. Keep an eye on this space to see how 2013 shakes out.
- Disaster recovery to the cloud as a viable option. Demand for DR as a service in the cloud has not waned. In fact, there has been more business and enterprise adoption of cloud DRaaS requiring no dedicated infrastructure — though buyers should beware of dedicated hosted DR parading as cloud DR. Verdict? Progress, but the best is likely yet to come.
- Disaster recovery from the cloud as a new need. Not surprisingly, 2012 brought its share of cloud outages. In spite of these, cloud-to-cloud disaster recovery and off-cloud disaster recovery remained the exception rather than the norm. Verdict? Maybe 2013.
- Simplified on-boarding of applications to the cloud. With vendors like VMware, DynamicOps, Citrix, VMTurbo and others extending virtual on-premise workloads to the cloud and vendors like Racemi and RiverMeadow pulling on-premise workloads to the cloud, the option to migrate apps to the cloud has become more viable. According to a recent Cloud Expo survey from November, the majority of respondents outsource less than a third of their infrastructure to the cloud. Verdict? The cloud move is happening, but on-premise infrastructure still comprises the vast majority.
- Non-relational databases for big data. With Oracle entering the fray of NoSQL databases in 2011, it was a safe assumption that the technology was making early strides. A few successful deployments, and the funding of DataStax are indicative of burgeoning interest. Verdict? Still early, but another technology to watch in 2013.
- Use of the cloud for analytics. With Google BigQuery joining Amazon Elastic MapReduce to help companies analyze their Big Data in the cloud, offerings including those from specialized analytics vendors are proliferating. According to Forrester research, 38% of all companies from a survey are planning a business intelligence SaaS project before the end of 2013. Verdict? It's on the way.
- SSD tiers of storage in the cloud. During the summer, Amazon launched larger AWS instances employing SSD. Also in October, Rackspace launched a tier of high-performance block storage using SSD. Verdict? SSD storage tiers are now available. Watch for the uptake in 2013.
- Improvements in data reduction technology to address large rich media files. While deduplication has surfaced in a range of primary and backup storage products, the struggle still remains with rich media (video and images) which typically do not reduce well. To be fair, companies such as SeaChange have added deduplication to their media-centric products. Verdict? Capacity and bandwidth remain the kings of media for now.
- "Cloud-envy" from cloud laggards. I predicted that some of the laggards will likely seek ways to leverage cloud methodologies that improve IT efficiency. I also predicted some will fall prey to cloudwashing by purchasing traditional IT infrastructure named "cloud" in an attempt to satisfy their "cloud-envy." Verdict? Watch for cloud poseurs abusing a new buzzword: "software-defined."
So how do you think we fared overall? Were we a little ahead of our time sometimes? Are we on the right track? You bet.
Up next: bold predictions for 2013.

Robert Lee Morris Is Loving Atlantis|
Accessories News
Robert Lee Morris has worked with everyone from the Olsens (Elizabeth & James) to Donna Karan, producing his own line of famed jewelry and sculpture on the way. Last month, he held a trunk show at New York's Museum of Arts and Design and now he's focusing on QVC. We chatted about jewelry, sales and his current love of all things mystical.
ELLE: Now that you've wrapped up the museum work, what's next?
RLM: Right now the big thing is QVC. We're adapting to the marketplace and to the changes in the economy, the changes in the metal prices. We are strategically moving more towards a costume jewelry department store business and moving away from the fine jewelry business. I have prided myself on reinventing myself for close to 50 years now. As I reinvent myself, I tend to influence a lot of other people as to how they should maybe adjust themselves.
ELLE: When and how did you hook up with QVC?
RLM: They came to me in the mid-90's and wanted me to be on their experimental channel called Q2. We were just selling our regular stuff at regular retail prices. We were one of the only successful parts of Q2, so unfortunately they ended up shutting that whole thing down, and they kind of absorbed me into QVC. So then we developed an entirely separate collection called RLM Studio that would be available only on QVC. That has proven to be a $10 million business for us, very challenging, you have to constantly be coming up with new things all the time. They're as demanding, if not more demanding, than working with fashion designers—as things sell out, they need to order new designs.

What's in my knife block
- jimonyc Aug 24, 2014 06:56 AM
These days, I take a more minimalist approach to kitchen knives. (I actually used to own a tomato knife.)
10.6" chef's/slicer/bread knife.
7" vegetable cleaver.
4" utility.
(Not in my knife block is a heavy German cleaver for such things as butterflying chickens.)
10" chef and small Nogent parer are my main knives. 8" and 6" are my wife"s main knives. The others are neglected, but the 10" slicer gets use over the holidays. In the drawer in sheaths are the 10" bread knife and the heavy cleaver.
Wow, that vegetable cleaver (nakiri). Is that a Watanabe nakiri? It looks nice.
Your Suisin Chef's knife (gyuto) also looks great.
I have a few knives, but I put many of them in storage. I still have more than three knives in my block. I have 8 knives in my block, but probably only regularly use the following on a regular basis:
a) Shun bread knife
b) Konosuke petty knife
c) Moritaka honesuki (boning) knife -- actually don't use it much now since I slowed down on deboning.
The one I use the most is actually not in knife block, which is a large CCK Chinese thin blade cleaver. (CCK KF1102)
I really should take my Tojiro DP Chef knife out. It is a useful knife.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Nakiri is a Gesshin Kochi from Chowhound JBroida's company, Japanese Knife Imports. I was looking for a super wide nakiri for a while and finally found this. Almost all nakiri that I've seen are <50mm wide, while the Gessshin Kochi is 55mm wide, so the profile is a little unusual.
The Suisin is cheap (<$100), but like it a lot.
You're knife system looks pretty efficient.
re: jimonyc
I see. It almost looks like a Watanabe nakiri (except the handle). By the way, I just looked at my two nakiri. My Tanaka Kurouch Nakiri is exactly 50 mm wide (spine to blade). My Watanabe Nakiri is 58 mm wide.
<The Suisin is cheap (<$100)>
Nice. Very good looking knife.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Ha. The Watanabe costs almost exactly the same as the Kochi, too. (Still, would rather give my business to JBroida, though.)
re: jimonyc
If you ever in the market for another unique nakiri or if you have a friend who wants to buy a unique dimension nakiri, you can consider Watanabe as a potential option. Nothing against our friend J Borida of course, but here are some reasons for a Watanabe blade:
First, Watanabe nakiri has a fine reputation among the old dogs. :)
Second, Watanabe isn't some massive company. It is largely run by Watanabe Shinichi (who his dad Watanabe Iwao passed the business to). He makes the knife and directly sells it to you. You can really put a face to the person who makes the knife for you.
Third, he can customize your knife to your liking. A paragraph from his site:
"More custom modifications:
You can send me your request so that I can quote you the price. You may indicate the size you wish, if you would like it slimmer, wider, thinner, thicker, lighter, heavier, flat backed, symmetrical bevel, custom shape, whatever you wish. We will quote your price and make your knife as you see it, making it a special and unique one-of-a-kind blade specifically for you!"
I asked Watanabe Shinichi-San (Mr. Watanabe) to customize my knife to a small degree. I wanted a slightly thinner knife than his usual dimension. Here is a short quote for my initial knife review:
"....The blade was requested to be thinned to 3.5 mm at spine heel and taper to 1.0 mm at the spine tip. The actual product I received is 3.0 mm at spine heel and taper to 1.0 mm at spine tip – pretty close to my request. Due to the blade customization, the kurouchi finish was removed and resulting a polished finish. The knife was made in 2 weeks and shipping to me in 3 days – though it took me another 2 days to pick it up from the postal office. I am very happy with the production speed, shipping speed... etc....."
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks much. The KKF thread was a fascinating read. Post after post of some really intelligent commentary. As always, the danger of such threads is the temptation to own one, especially that chisel-ground garasuki. Luckily for me, my 'max-3-knives-in-the-knife-block' rule is in full force.
From your second pic, Watanabe looks like a kid.
re: jimonyc
Yeah, I agree with you that your max-3 knives is going to serve you well.
<From your second pic, Watanabe looks like a kid.>
Ha ha ha. I don't think he is that young. He is on the upper left of the photo. His father, a famous knife maker before him is on the lower right:
Here is another photo where his wife and him at the 2007 Oregon Knife Show. Not sure why they were holding someone else kids....
I have one of these badasses; Moritaka Gyuto 240 mm (the one on the photo is found on google, but is an exact match).
It is very hard to go from something as good as the Moritaka to something just decent e.g., when cooking at friends house etc.
I can recommend those japanese knives!
My knife block consists of:
1. 240 mm Konosuke gyuto
2. 165 mm Murata nakiri
3. 180 mm Gesshin usuba
4. 3 1/2 inch Shun paring
5. 7 inch Shun santoku
I use the gyuto, nakiri, and paring the most, while the usuba gets used whenever I'm not hurried in the kitchen and have time to do some katsuramuki. I like to keep the Shun santoku around as a "beater" knife and to give to friends/family that want to help me cook.
re: Cynic2701
During my quest for the perfect nakiri, I kept coming back to the Murata w/ Western handle; such a great aesthetic, where village/rustic kuro-uchi meets high-tech Western handle w/ metal bolster. But just couldn't pull the trigger because of my 'knife-must-be-min-53mm-wide' rule.
re: jimonyc
I've got a wa-handled one, and though I haven't measured the blade width, it seems quite wide to me.
What sort of advantages do wider nakiri's have aside from knuckle clearance?
re: Cynic2701
Not only nakiris, but any knife that I would use a pinch grip with - I just feel most comfortable with a certain amount of clearance between my thumb/index finger and the cutting board. Just a personal comfort thing.
The Murata, according to Epicurean Edge is 50mm at heel, which is relatively wide for a 165 blade - just not wide enough for me.
I'm actually asking all of you, what did I just buy at the Rose Bowl Flea Market for all of $4? Carbon steel, forged, stamped with markings I cannot read... One solid piece. Nakiri is my guess. Has an arrow logo on the blade and the handle, at least 30 years old (seller "from a box ive had in storage since the 80s when my mother died")
Sorry, my camera did a really mediocre job of photographing the markings.
I picked it up and thought "don't know, but I'll take my chances for $4 and find out!"
Worth my $4? Advice welcomed & hoped for!
re: CaliforniaJoseph
It is a duck slicer not a nakiri.
re: CaliforniaJoseph
It may be a Chinese knife instead of a Japanese knife. I think it is either a duck knife or a watermelon knife. Either of them should look longer than a typical nakiri.
Duck knife is used to slice and serve duck, especially the skin part. Here if you scroll down to the bottom of the page (third row from the bottom), you will see the duck slice knives KF210X:
Our friend fmed has bought a duck knife 2 years ago and there are some of the discussions back then:
Duck skin is priced in Chinese cuisine:
Now, most home cooks do not use a duck knife for duck skin since.... it is very rare that a home cook get to do this. So maybe the person used it for watermelons and such.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Now I know - Thank you! I was guessing what if might be. Just seemed to cool to leave on the table for $4!
re: CaliforniaJoseph
Now you just have to take up hunting, or find a good supply of fresh duck.
re: SWISSAIRE
Doh! This $4 knife is costing me more and more!
re: SWISSAIRE
It's Wabbit Season!
Knives have been the weak spot of my batterie - I own two old carbon steel chef's knives a Sabatier of some kind and an unmarked one - but really have not used them much for fear of sharpening. Since my Wusthof Classic santoku grew a pair of legs my most used knife has been a vintage Chicago Cutlery chef's knife that I bought when I went on my MIC purge a few years ago.
Just recently though I came up on a Wusthof chef knife and a some Henckels (four star) slicers. So I decided it was time to finally learn how to use that sharpening stone and went in search of some cheap knives to practice on and came up on a K-Sabatier 10" Chef knife too - so now there is some competition for what gets to stay on the magnet.
I also picked up some Henckels International "Ever-sharp" for a few bucks a piece to locate in a prominent location as decoys
I did pick up some cheap knives to practice on as well and started to break my fear of the stone - I would like to get the old carbon steel ones back into service too. Once I get my Western knife house in order it will be time to get some nice Eastern ones - I do have a big cheap Chinese cleaver.
I'm in the process of moving, so here's a pic of the contents of my knife bag, along with an extra one of just my cleavers.
They are:
Large CCK carbon slicer Chinese cleaver
8" Victorinox chefs
10" Victorinox bread knife
3.5" Victorinox paring knife
Tossagata carbon nakiri
Tojiro DP honesuki
8" Sabatier French knife
Tossagata carbon fruit knife
12" vintage Dexter carbon chefs knife
240mm Hiromoto aogami super gyuto
Dojo blue steel paring knife
240mm Sakai Yusuke gyuto
9" Alpha heavy duty meat cleaver
the current state of my magnet its a hodge podge - i cant curate things like some people
R to L
Chicago Cutlery 42s
Cutco (LOL HAHAH)
K-Sabatier 10"
Wusthof 10"
Henckles 4S 10" Slicer
Henckles 4S 6" Slicer
? Bread knife? serrated coarse
Henckles Intl bread knife? serrated fine
Carving Fork
Cuisinart paring knife
Sabatier paring knife
Big Cheap Chinese cleaver - Shibazi
the other pic is all of my Carbon Steel knives I need to sharpen them up and get them back into use - the sabatier is fairly sharp but it need to be sharpened again and fante's is not touching it again and the one on the far right was razor sharp and i used it a lot before it got a big chip in the blade I am not sure what to do about it got put in the drawer and tarnished badly- the rest I never use - they need their own magnet and to be sharpened and in all honesty I am not sure what to use the big ones for or how to sharpen them.
re: JTPhilly
My sincere compliments JTPhilly-
From past comments here, you and I are the only ones hanging our knives up to dry this way.
Looks like you may need another mag bar extender soon if your collection increases.
re: SWISSAIRE
haha I have a small kitchen with very little storage so everything I need is out hanging from the ceiling or on open shelves - I tend to be a person who works with what's within reach - knives that end up safely wrapped in drawers become knives that don't get used.
re: JTPhilly
So true.
I have drawers and boxes of knives rarely used, if even seen.
As a rule my wife does not want any knives out at night, or when the kitchen is not in use. Once the knives are washed and dried, they are put away. That includes the Global 10 knife block set, all the Rösle, all the Wüsthof Classic, etc.
When the "Galley" is closed, not even a toothpick remains in sight.
re: SWISSAIRE
Hi, Robert:
Herr und Frau, Wahine a Kaleo should have been cast in a kitchen version of Trading Spouses. Our galley is open 24/7/365 and there always seem to be knives sitting about!
re: kaleokahu
Morning K-
Sounds like a nice, warm, friendly place you have.
How goes the Cherry pitting this Summer ?
The reason being asked is that I spend too much time pitting green olives with a knife. I may be interested in a machine that can pit both olives and cherries efficiently.
Hi, jimonyc:
Here's a selection of what I have at the main house + what I brought home fom the beach house for sharpening.
First pic, T to B:
--Self-made 10" vegetable
--Self-made 11" fillet
--9.5" Sabbatier Nogent
--5" Forschner stiff boning
--6" Dexter flex boning
--9" Henckel chef
--Self-made 8" veggie
--Self-made sandwich
--6" Normark fillet
Second photo, T to B:
--14" Henckell slicer
--4, 3.5, 3" Henckel parers
--Bob Kramer custom Fulton heavy cleaver
--9" Henckel bread
--5.5" Henckell boning
--SCI truffle/chocolate
--Dovo shears
--Cheapo oyster
--F. Dick steel
--Cheapo crock stick
--14" Henckels granton slicer
--16" Henckels scimiter
--Self-made demilune
--Self-made siding
--Self-made sheepskinner
--F. Dick paddle steel

As you can see, I need more knives.

Myths About Recruitment Agencies in Singapore
The recruitment business may not be a young industry in Singapore yet many misconceptions about it prevail.
As the CEO of Achieve Group, I have been in the business of recruitment for more than 20 years and I have come across my fair share of shenanigans, which have no doubt contributed to giving the industry a bad name.
Masquerade Ball 2014
'Twas a night of mystery and merriment as Achieve Group celebrated its 24th anniversary with a Masquerade Ball-themed annual dinner & dance.
Held on 16th August at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, the event was full of colour, theatrics and laughter, as many of the staff dressed in fancy costumes befitting the theme.

The MST Refuge Gore-Tex Glove is designed for those "in between" times of the season where you need more than a lightweight glove, but it isn't nearly cold enough for a heavy insulated glove. This MST glove is constructed of our Refuge HS shell fabric and treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellant) to act as the first line of defense against the elements. The Gore-Tex membrane delivers 100% waterproof/breathable protection that waterfowl hunters need to be effective in the field.
One of these key features is the Stay Put liner system. This internal liner system eliminates the bunching, twisting, and pulling of the liner that is common with other gloves. This problem can be especially troubling when your hands are wet when you put on your gloves, only to have the liner try to turn inside-out when you remove the gloves. Our Stay Put liner system eliminates this frustrating problem.
Posted by Scott Smyth on 8th Nov 2012
The Stay Put Liner system is great. Usually after a few trips, the fingers in my gloves are one big clump of frustration. Not so anymore. Great protection from water and cold. Only draw back is they are a little snug. I had to return mine for one size larger due to the width of my hands. other than that, I have finally found a good waterfowl glove.
Posted by Unknown on 26th Oct 2012
If you have big hands. XL is really not that XL. The gloves are awesome though. Submerged my hands in 20 degree water and they didn't even get wet.

Know, for example, that you should hit Monteagle in about an hour and Nashville in about two and a half. If you hit Atlanta in 90 minutes, you are headed the wrong way.

Not A Single Word About This Lyrics - Alesana
Review The Song (2)
I'd push you away
But you are the only thing I know
I can't help believing in you...
The idea of beauty leaves me enslaved
Say you'll stay for tonight
And I promise you this will be the last
I'd push you away
But you are the only thing I know
At your feet I now lay
You are the only thing I know, I know
I stare blindly into my reflection
A piece of me lost... I am terrified
That I cannot breathe without you
I am nothing in my eyes if not lost
I can't see past your eyes,
Without them I would die
Shackles cut my wrists as I fight the chains
None can hold me
I'd push you away
But you are the only thing I know
At your feet I now lay
You are the only thing I know, I know
In a room where I once told you everything,
I am alone, I am alone
Once beholden to nothing
And no one how is it that I am slave
to these eyes which glisten with untold secrets
that I crave so wildly to understand?
I must steel my heart to your warm gaze
I'll claw out my eyes and see you no more
It's because of you I sometimes wish that I would die
Sometimes I wish I would die
Leaving you behind
Enraptured by my ignorance,
I now deserve sympathy

Confidence, unique style, what makes you different from everybody, wearing clothes with confidence (not worrying about what people think about your style) having pride without being boastful (cocky)...To be cool or to know you are cool (not cocky though)

Real Simple Magazine
The Museum of Hoaxes got a nice little write-up in this month's issue of Real Simple magazine. I think they mentioned the "paranormal stuff" on the site (which, honestly, there isn't a huge amount of) because it's the October issue, and they were trying to tie it in with Halloween.
