Imagine having a future employer sit with you and spell out what will impress – and what will be a turnoff – when you apply for an internship or a job. Well, that's exactly what MU students got for free this fall, when representatives from top federal agencies came to campus for a Federal Government Roundtable. One participant described it as "fantastic."
Marymount's commitment to fostering solid career preparation goes hand-in-hand with the university's emphasis on a strong liberal arts foundation. On both counts, MU students benefit from the opportunities that emerge from the university's location next door to our nation's capital.
At the roundtable, the students met with representatives from the State Department, the FBI, the Smithsonian Institution, and the General Services Administration. A retired CIA officer, whose government career included work in the Treasury Department and the Pentagon, also attended.
They gave students valuable insider views on the culture of various federal agencies and tips on how to stand out from the competition as an applicant.
Sophomore Stephen Boyce, an information technology major, already is working at an internship with the State Department, providing IT support. But he came to the roundtable because his dream job after graduation is to join the FBI. He said, "I learned some useful tips to improve my resume, like adding my security clearance and being more detailed in job descriptions. I also learned that my security clearance from the State Department won't transfer to the FBI, but having it will make the process easier. This event was fantastic!"

Lori Gentles Takes the
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Lori Gentles, Vice President Human Resources, Diversity and Inclusion at Cal State Fullerton stepped up for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
ALS ("Lou Gehrig's Disease") is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. As nerve cells are affected, muscle control is lost, eventually leading to complete paralysis.
Originally challenged by Amir Dabirian, Lori in turn has challenged Cal State Fullerton's Chris Brown, Jack Bedell, John Bruschke, Chief Dennis DeMaio, and Ann Camp.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is raising awareness of this disease and providing fundraising for research and treatments. The staff, management and faculty of Cal State Fullerton are Titan-proud of their participation in the ALS cause.
Did you know we have a natural garden area on our campus; perfect for lunch.

Dancing with the Stars kicks off the first of two performance shows tonight with Team "Gangnam Style's" individual routines and Team "Call Me Maybe's" freestyle. Did Melissa recover in time to perform? Plus: Which judge fell out of their chair?Lots going on tonight and tomorrow, guys, so let's get the housekeeping out of the way. If you've been living under a Mirrorball, tonight and tomorrow will be performance shows and there is no elimination this week. All performances will be taped tonight. Tonight will be live and the lineup is individual dances by Team "Gangnam Style," followed by the Team "Call Me Maybe" freestyle. Tomorrow will be the taped dances: Team "Call Me Maybe's" individual routines and Team "Gangnam Style's" freestyle. Voting is open both days, and scores and votes will be combined with next week's.Get it? Got it? Good.Frankly, I don't understand why they can't just do the team dances in two weeks and squeeze the individual routines in tonight and have an elimination this week. Just cut the Brooke B.S. and shorten the rehearsal packages. Speaking of Brooke, did she spend the whole afternoon at a free Clinique booth? Ease up on the make-up, woman.If that's not enough for today, Melissa suffered a herniated disc during camera-blocking yesterday and was hospitalized. Seeing that she's in costume and jumping up and down, she's obviously performing. Although, how much bad luck does she have? She couldn't perform the team dance in Season 8 because of her rib injury.Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy: sambaKelly's guilty pleasure song is Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back." Hmm, questionable. Are we sure this has nothing to do with the fact that she performed on the show a few weeks ago? Naturally, they're going for the S&M version of the samba. I love how these two are determined to play up the showmance angle. (Kelly has a longtime boyfriend, by the way.) This is an OK number. Kelly's hitting all her spots, but she's missing some spark and the whole thing is jerky instead of bouncy. Plus: Those samba rolls are more like pelvic thrusts. Len thinks it was too raunchy. Bruno goes for an alliteration: "titillating tasty tease." Carrie Ann says she was too uncertain.Score: 24.5Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd: rumbaAs he mentioned last week, Gilles' guilty pleasure tune is Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." He wants to make the routine beautiful and "breast-taking" and hope people will get to baby-making. Yes, Gilles, I'm sure a lot of women hope you will be breast-taking and will make a baby with them. Of course, they're going the full Bodyguard route. It's an elegant, romantic number, and Gilles' lines are great, but it's lacking some chemistry. Gilles seems focused on mugging up with his arms and Peta with her legs. Still, the judges will eat this up. Bruno calls it masterpiece theater. Carrie Ann wants the baby-making to begin — and her body is ready! She literally falls off her chair and onto her back. Gilles helps her up, and he may or may not have impregnated her right then. It's unclear. Len says it should be Oscar-nominated. Um, no. But he didn't appreciate Peta's excessive leg flexibility. You may be the only one, man.Score: 29.5Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: quickstepKirstie picks Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" because Maks is her boy toy. Maks concedes that with Bristol gone, they are the only ones left who are out of their league. Kirstie counters that there are people left who are not as good of an entertainer as she is, but she still wants to do better dance-wise and breaks down during camera-blocking after messing up. She only has one minor flub during the routine, which is on the slow side, but probably as fast as Kirstie can do it. Her frame is better, but it's obvious that Maks is basically carrying her most of the dance. Carrie Ann says it was her best dance. Len concurs and says she was dancing to the Maks-imum. Har har. Bruno loves the variations and runs.Score: 25.5Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke: sambaEmmitt picks Barry Manilow's "Copacabana," as he mentioned last week. There are two giant inflatable parrots on stage and I want them! Breaking news! Emmitt has better samba rolls than Kelly. Seriously, his hips are looser than the screws in my head. (Kidding! Sort of.) The caveat, though, is that he seemingly is only capable of moving them when he's stationary. It's just a fun, vibrant routine, but he doesn't seem to be playing it up for the crowd as he usually does (or should do). Len calls it unstoppable. Bruno says he made it look easy. Carrie-Ann says he has the samba swagger, and they totally overscore him.Score: 29Team "Call Me Maybe" FreestyleTeam "Call Me Maybe" (Shawn and Derek, Sabrina and Louis, Melissa and Tony, and Apolo and Karina) is going with a high school football players and cheerleaders concept. I looove Derek's unmitigated disdain for the song. I feel your pain, bro. Their strategy is go the technical route because they think Team "Gangnam Style" will go for comedy. I think we all could've guessed that. Also, it would be incredibly dumb of them not to use all of the celebrities' athleticism to their advantage. Shameless as TPTB are, they show Melissa's injury, which happened after Tony pulled her through his legs and her sneaker got stuck. She has been cleared to dance. Surprise, surprise!This was the perfect way to approach this song. It's cheeky and snazzy, and this is one of the most technically proficient freestyles that has ever been on the show. Everyone is sharp and crisp, and the transitions between solos are perfection, even with Melissa being a human jump-rope for Apolo. Len calls it fantastic. Bruno loves the choreographic flow and says it was impossible to distinguish the pros from the celebrities. Carrie Ann gives them a cheer: "You got spirit, yes you do. You got spirit, I love you!" Len even busts out a 10!Score: 29.5It should be said that Derek has never lost a team dance, going 7-0 into this season. Based on technique, Team "Gangnam Style" won't be able to touch Team "Call Me Maybe," so it will just depend if the judges give Gilles & Co. a tongue-bath for whatever they do, which they seem intent on doing for Gilles at least.That's all for now. See ya back here tomorrow for more dancing.What do you think? Did Gilles have the best individual routine of the night? How awesome was Team "Call Me Maybe"? Do herniated discs affect your memory as it apparently does Melissa's? Does Peta need to cool it on the leg action? Do you find Gilles breast-taking? Is Carrie-Ann still in "baby-making" position?

Santa Fe Compact Dehumidifier Review
Don't let its size fool you; this 65-pint capacity dehumidifier may not be much bigger than a breadbox, but it's twice as powerful as the 65-pint dehumidifiers at your local hardware store – and it's more energy efficient.
The Santa Fe Compact Dehumidifier is made to fit in small places – crawlspaces, basements, closets, and even between floor joists. You can suspend it from above with the optional hang kit; make it a truly portable dehumidifier with the caster kit; or hide it inside a utility closet with the ducting kit.

Did Ian have sex with Ashley? I mean everyone is playing with each other. They can't blame Ashley falling in love with someone else.

7.20.13 -- THE VERY LATEST FROM THE TEXAS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING YESTERDAY (FRIDAY, JULY 19) -- Thomas Ratliff did not try on Friday to offer his resolution to push the SBOE into reviewing the CSCOPE lessons; he knew he did not have the votes.
*To recap the last two days, please see:
"Urgent Request: Contact TEA and SBOE re: CSCOPE" – 7.18.13 -- http://nocompromisepac.ning.com/profiles/blogs/urgent-request-conta...
"CSCOPE Press Release from Sen. Patrick with Background from Donna Garner" – 7.19.13
At about the same time that the Friday SBOE meeting was occurring, Sen. Dan Patrick was putting out his press release indicating that both he and the Texas Attorney General's office have asked State auditor John Keel to review the operations of TESCCC/CSCOPE because of indications that the Education Service Centers did not comply with state law and bidding processes when the CSCOPE system was created.
By the time the SBOE meets for its September meetings, there is no telling what may have been revealed about the inner-workings of TESCCC/CSCOPE/ESC; but regardless, we as vocal activists can make our local school districts know where we stand.
This should be our consistent message to the TEA, to the SBOE, to our local Texas school districts, and to the news media:
"Any teacher who chooses to teach CSCOPE lessons after August 1, 2013 should expect to be opposed publicly at local school board meetings by assertive activists who do not want their school children indoctrinated by CSCOPE."

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Massachusetts and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

I think part of the problem is the amount of people that have the programs that designers use. Unschooled people think that because they have access to the finalizing tools that they too can make a good design. However, design is not about making something "cool" or "pretty." Design is a process; delicate or de(con)structive. Good design is intention. It is not copy and paste. Aiding to the problem... Good Design is expensive. If some silly kid in their room can paste a logo on a business card in 3 seconds then Good Design loses it's appeal, and that kid is now given the title of "graphic designer". In the 21st century the majority of the world is no longer interested in the beauty of reasoning and intellect, it's about how big our pocket books can get. Our societies have run feral, the age of instant gratification is at hand. I believe that one way to reacquaint humanity with Good Design is through more interesting design. Part of what designers do is learn about the audience and then create accordingly. Well, if the people want a bigger "pay off," give it to them. But make them work for it. It is not in the end result that Good Design appears, instead it is in the details, even seemingly insignificant details.

As you all know, we have a proliferation of academy RPs in Bulba RP land.
As your lord and savior (and section head), I have determined that it is time for me to finally run my own RP. I know. Shocking.
I've never actually GMed an RP that I created (I was head GM of KPU for about a year? year and a half? somewhere around there...) so I figured now is a good time. Because why not, right?
Now as you can see, this will not be an academy RP. No schoolwork, no training classes, no dormitories. None of that nonsense.
So now you may be asking yourselves, what does the great and glorious Mako / HiPS / Hide in Plain Sight have planned for us?
The answer to that question is that... well...
I don't have a plan.
Kidding. Of course I do.
This RP is going to be epic. It's going to be a journey. You will feel for your characters. You may cry. You will certainly feel that your time was well spent. That is the promise I will make to you. This RP is going to be a blast.
So now for the nitty gritty.
1. No godmoding. Godmoding is bad.
2. Avoid tennising. An exchange of two or three posts in a row (5-6 total posts by two people) isn't bad. But don't fill a whole page with inane conversation. It's annoying to read (especially if it serves minimal purpose and doesn't provide character development)
3. Post length. Come on people, make an effort. I'm not saying you need to write Atlas Shrugged in every single post. But make it more than three words. Describe things. Be creative.
4. If you've read these rules, tell me something about yourself that I probably wouldnt know about you in a PM
5. Have fun.
6. Don't talk about 'This is not an Academy RP'
7. Don't talk about 'This is not an Academy RP'
8. As RP section head, and thus god of this realm, I reserve the right to add / delete / modify these rules if I see fit.
9. If you break the rules.
- First offense: Warning
- Second offense: Probation (48 hour thread ban)
- Third offense: Permaban from the thread
Also, I reserve the right to give out forum infractions if forum rules are broken.
Name: Dudes, your character has to have a name
Age: Now this is where I start getting into the fun. Make your character any age. A kid starting out his/her journey? Fine. An elderly and wise trainer? Go for it.
Gender: yeah
Sexuality: don't give a shit. whatever you want.
Description: I don't give a shit about what your character is wearing in this. Because people change their clothes. But I want to know what they themselves look like. Go into detail.
Personality: This is the meat of the character. What makes them tick? Likes? Dislikes? Quirks? Again, be creative and detailed.
History: Flexible here. Sometimes it takes some time to flesh out a character in thread before finalizing their background. But I need a solid base that we can build on. Also, once you make a background, stick to it.
Pokemon: Go nuts. Have one, five, ten, twenty, a hundred. But remember, you can't carry more than six and you can't have any legendaries.
Other information: The most memorable characters are unique. What makes your character special? Think this one through.
Now my more attentive readers are probably realizing that I haven't said a word about what the plot of this RP is going to be. And yes. I haven't. There's a reason for this. I want you all to sign up before I make the plot.
There is a reason behind this. I'm doing an experiment. I want to see if the characters can shape the plot (rather than the plot shaping the characters). All I can tell you about the plot is that it's not going to be an academy. And that it's going to be a crazy 'effing ride.
So if you're in for an adventure unlike any we've seen before on bulba, sign up and let's see what happens.

Baxter is the humanoid robot you can teach without programming
In general, the cost of owning an industrial robot has dropped in recent years, but for smaller companies the notion of using an in-house robot is still an expensive and complicated affair. The affordable and easily programmable new Baxter robot wants to change all that.
Created by Rethink Robotics, Baxter has a face that looks like a tablet and simultaneously acts as an input interface and a means for detecting what information the robot is processing, augmented by face animations that indicate Baxter's current "emotional" state. According to the company, the robot requires no programming knowledge, allowing users to direct its actions by direct physical manipulation and simple on-screen prompts. Baxter can handle diverse factory tasks such as loading, machine operation, light assembly, sorting and inspecting, and packing and unpacking.
The robot, which costs just $22,000, is also equipped with an elaborate safety system making it practical as a tool that could work side-by-side with people. You can get a brief look at Baxter in action in the video below.

Newspapers have long been a source of information. Millions still read the paper everyday. New media have challenged papers through much of the 20th century. First radio, then television competed for the audience of newspapers. And there was an impact. Many blame the demise of afternoon dailies on evening news broadcasts.
Newspapers survived, but broadcast media have enjoyed an edge in breaking news. For example, the Hindenburg Crash, Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination are first remembered as broadcasts, not headlines.
In recent years Americans have enjoyed the benefits of both broadcast and print media. But the terrain is shifting again. The internet and a flood of mobile devices delivering information from thousands of sources to millions of consumers is now viewed as a threat to the financial viability of traditional media.
Alan Oldfield/Magid: "The advertiser revenue drying up has put them in a pickle and they went I can either just cut some more or I can really try to use this as an The new model is a journalist who is nimble, who is capable of publishing on every platform because the viewer, the user, the consumer isn't really distinguishing a difference."
And that consumer is now calling the shots; driven in great part by the demands of the next big generation, the so-called Millennial. The group born after 1978 wants choices and options and they want them for free. The Millennial routinely shop on the internet, but the most they will pay for media is a 99 cent song from iTunes.
Alan Oldfield/Magid "The real loss as we transition from the old model to the new model is who's going to pay for journalism? I don't pay for news on the internet because it's free. I can go on all these sites and get free news. Well, it's not free. It's supported by the newspaper that lands on your doorstep or it's supported by the car dealer who advertises in the six o'clock news. So for right now it's free but we don't have that answer yet. I don't think the industry has that answer yet."
But what is value? The cacophony of voices can in fact make information more illusive.
Alan Oldfield: "The trick is filtering it out because so many of the voices that have been added are in fact opinion, voices of opinion, not voices ah who are necessarily driven by the facts in a dispassionate view of the facts of the case."
Brands have long ruled information and they still count. Mainstream media still enjoy a status as credible sources of information. But they no longer own the news.
Chase Martin/Managing Editor/Iowa Independent: "I'm Chase Martin, managing editor of the Iowa Independent and we're Iowa's largest online only news outlet. We try to cover matters of public policy and politics from an independent angle that you won't find in the traditional media here in Iowa."
The Iowa Independent was started in Iowa in May of 2007 as one of 5 in the nation started by the Center for Independent Media.
Chase Martin: "With a pretty general goal of just diversifying the news here in Iowa. Influencing the way people, regular everyday people talk about the news stories that are shaping our state and you know our goal was also to prove that this new model of journalism where everything's done online."
Overhead is low. The Independent uses part-timers for some stories, but mostly relies on three reporters fanned across the state working out of coffeehouses or their homes. There is no newsroom. With only a website to maintain, the printing and circulation costs of a newspaper are non factors to its viability. The publication's biggest expense is salaries.
Chase Martin: "We're interested in experimenting finding out exactly what the best way to relay information online in this new structure is and hopefully what we do may lay a for a real profitable model of journalism in the future but our goal is purely to get information out to the public."
Though it was launched as a not-for-profit venture, many are watching to see what could be applied to traditional news publications. The web provides not only low-cost opportunities for dissemination, but also for news gathering.
Chase Martin: "I think that that the way of the future will be what they call crowd sourcing, where a group of people who all contribute to one online community take it upon themselves to divvy up two thousand pages of freedom of information acts documents and each go through five/six pages each individual and you know collectively as a group that online community will, will move stories and break them. You know I think that's a very promising part of the future but you know I, I think that that the diversity of media will encourage further specificity and when you know there are even if its just a small three person news organization covering one particular beat those three people will be covering that same beat everyday and I think that that will also lead to, to better avenues for investigative work."

Kelly's StoryI love the combination of sweet and salty! So I came up with this recipe to incorporate all of my favorites! You can mix 'n match your own favorites or make as is! The fun of baking is creating things to your own taste, so have fun! And enjoy! :D (Next time I make them I promise to take a pic. The holidays are coming up so it won't be long. ;) ) (photo is from bing images and not of my actual cookie, but looks VERY similar to what mine look like. will take a pic of mine the next time I make them.)
2 1/2 cups
1 tsp.
baking soda
1 tsp.
salt, can cut down to a 1/2 tsp. if preferred
sticks butter, softened
Find more recipes at goboldwithbutter.com
3/4 cup
3/4 cup
packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp.
large eggs
1 cup
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup
white chocolate chips
1 cup
coarsely broken ruffles potato chips
1 cup
1 cup
small pretzel twists broken into 1/2
1/2 cup
coarse chopped mixed nuts, i use peanuts, macadamias and cashews, salted or unsalted
of a 14 oz. bag kraft caramels (unwrapped)
1 Tbl.
coarse sea salt
Directions Step-By-Step
1Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, soda and salt in small bowl. In mixer bowl, cream butter, sugars and vanilla til creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape bowl as needed especially bottom. Slowly beat in flour mixture. Stir in rest of ingredients except caramels, water and sea salt. (I like to pre-mix the ingredients in a bowl tossing them. It makes adding them to the dough much easier and you don't have to stir as much and prevents the potato chips from breaking up too much.) Drop by rounded tablespoons (about large walnut-sized) onto ungreased cookie sheets. Or you can make them smaller. I prefer cookies that are a bit larger than the dinky ones.) If making larger ones, *lightly press tops down with palm of hand just a *tad. Bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on size, or until golden brown. Don't overbake. Remove to wire racks to cool. In medium bowl, melt caramels with water in microwave til melted. With spoon or small whisk, drizzle over cookies a few at a time. Sprinkle caramel with sea salt as you go. Just a little. Repeat til all are done. Let caramel cool and harden. Store airtight.

Kelly, sometimes the best recipes are the easiest. If you like sweet and salty, try Sweet 'N Saltines. My daughter found this in a magazine and everyone loves it. Line cookie sheet with saltines, salty side up. In saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of light brown sugar. Bring to boil and remove from heat, pour over crackers. Put the pan in the over (425 degrees) for 4-5 minutes, just until bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. When the chips begin to melt, spread them over the caramel mixture. Put in freezer until cold then break into shards and store in airtight container. Yummy and fun! Enjoy!

Joy in the Midst of Darkness (A reflection)
May 28, 2014 § Leave a comment
Maybe depression is a time of healing for me. Certain parts of me shut down or go away to heal and leave me to survive on the basics.
I experienced joy once in the last two weeks. I was looking at my son through a camera lens clicking every move he made while playing baseball and it hit me in my gut. Joy never comes quietly. My son was excited, encouraging others – he was definitely in a moment of Bliss.
I laughed and cried at the same time. For me it is a sensation so rare that I almost react impulsively, or as if, I have a tick. I always look around for any watchers – maybe someone caught that moment and I could smile with them.
I visited that moment a million times since it occurred. Not recalling the Joy but recalling his moment of bliss.

She stood away of everyone else
holding down her wings of rusty knives
filled with fear and sadness
tears escaped from her eyes
and that would be the last day
she was allowed anything authentic to say
She did not know it yet
but the day would come
she would raise up her wings
throw her head back
and with bold proclamation
stomp blatantly on the floor with one foot
Drunk in Love, plus some

I love me some J&B (I'd buy a bottle)! Both artists have grown, evolved on and off screen along with mp3 files.
Because I fall somewhere in between both their ages, I can relate to the possible adversity they have been faced with along the way.
Remember, mo' money – mo' problems. Relationships take work not plastic.
It makes me laugh when I read or hear criticizers of the fortunate couple. Unless we are one of B's seventeen Grammy awards, we are not living with the couple day in and day out. It is irresponsible to pass judgment on anyone other than ourselves and that even should not be practiced often.
This post could be longer but I would much rather watch Beyonce & Jay Z while co-creating another entertaining performance together.

Girlfriend, boyfriend
husband or wife;
labels only you
brought to my life.
The touch of your skin
the glance of your eyes
Schedules we adjusted
for one last goodbye.
Comfortable silence
resting lips
precious moments
locked fingertips
Do you feel at all sad
reading this line
with eyes that will never
look into mine?

MESA, Ariz. — Nearly 200 pages of documents have been released by the city of Mesa showing how the city will develop and govern a new spring training complex for the Chicago Cubs.
The Arizona Republic reports three agreements were hammered out after Mesa voters gave permission nearly a year ago for the city to build a stadium and related facilities on what is now the Riverview Golf Course.
The documents include the development agreement and a facilities-use agreement governing construction and maintenance of the baseball complex. Mesa and the Cubs reached an agreement in 2010 that kept the National League team from bolting to Florida or another Phoenix-area city.
Under the agreements, Mesa retains ownership of all the land and facilities within the complex.

It's our last weekend in zeeland and it's raining outside our caravan.
But inside its cozy and warm.
We had a lovely week with gorgeous weather.
And despite my best efforts ...I could not avoid a little sunburn!
I think its due to the combination of wind and sun.
And there's always wind in Zeeland.
Last week we visited the weekly market in Middelburg.
Here a picture of The Lange Jan, a churchtower.
and I digged out piles of fabric.....
to find these lovely pieces.
this one comes from another store.
I love the windmills and the red, white gingham.
And I got me the new country living to read and browse through.
So I'll enjoy our last weekend here
before I have to go back to normal live on Monday.
Have a Happy weekend too and hope to see you back next week!

Free as a bird in June...
It still is a bit quiet here on my blog, sorry for that...
Just hope you haven't forgotten me by now!
Update on last post...I was still thinking abc and numbers for the new baby quilt
I immediatly had a vision on how to use these cuties in the baby quilt.
I bought the fabric with the larger birds (above) and this pretty stash (below).
The pastel colored checker fabric is also the fabric that's used as liner for the baby crib.
The finished top is on the hoop and ready to quilt.
Hope I'll be back soon to show you the result!

This weekend marks the opening of some area ski resorts. We've had some snow fall, but some of it had to be manmade to be ready for this weekend. Our Tamara Lindstrom joined us from Greek Peak with more on the preparations for what will hopefully be a better ski season this year.
CORTLAND COUNTY, N.Y. -- This weekend marks the season opening for some area ski resorts. Greek Peak in Cortland is set to open at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
After a disappointing season last year, resorts and snow sport enthusiasts are hoping for a cold and snowy winter season.
Greek Peak had a particularly tough season last year. The FDIC shut down the bank that was funding the resort, forcing them to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The resort is still working that situation out, but says they have funds secured and are eager to launch the season.
"Because of the weather last year, I think people are sitting back and waiting to see when it's really going to turn into winter. I think that fact that we've been out making snow and making the effort to get open this weekend, you know to get the people out here and see that there is actually snow and get them started," said Wesley Kryger, Greek Peak General Manager/Vice President of Operations.
The Greek Peak staff says that only a couple runs will be open this weekend, but assures there is plenty of room for everyone.

House Oakheart
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
|House Oakheart of Old Oak
|Coat of arms
|Or, three oak leaves vert
|Our Roots Go Deep
|Old Oak
|Current Lord
|Lady Arwyn Oakheart
|the Reach
|House Tyrell
|John the Oak[1]
House Oakheart of Old Oak is an old and powerful family from Old Oak in the Reach. They are among the noble houses from the Reach that can trace their descent from Garth Greenhand.[2] As part of the longstanding rivalry between the Reach and Dorne, Oakhearts have fought Dornishmen extensively.
Their arms are three green oak leaves on gold.[3][4] According to semi-canon sources their motto is "Our Roots Go Deep".[5]
When Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen toured the south in 112AC, the son of Lord Oakheart courted her.[6]
Lord Edgerran Oakheart was known for fighting Dornishmen. The Three Leaves, including Alester and Ser Olyvar the Green Oak, died at the side of Daeron I Targaryen in the Prince's Pass.[7]
Ser Eustace Osgrey complained that House Oakheart tried to keep one foot in each camp during the Blackfyre Rebellion.

SP GnV: The PoemTHE POEMSP GnV: The Poem by phantom4muah
Summary: When the Spiky haired vampire manages to get Dylan in trouble, the Red Goth decides to get a quick revenge .. In the form of a poem.
Rated: T (For language)
Authors note: Vexvulpes and I were talking about Invader Zim and this came out. So, if you think something sounds familiar it prolly is.
FLASH BACK (Yes, it's quite immediate)
Okay, class. To celebrate overcrowding in school, a new student will be joining us today. Mr. Garrison set the phone back on to the receiver, glaring over his retarded students. Every one say hello to Ryan Ellis.
Dylan felt his heart plummet. He looked up and saw the boy grinning stupidly at him. After all the conformists said the usual hello to the wanna-be vamp, he felt the need to point out what should have been an obvious fact.
Not waiting to be called on, the Goth boy spoke, Hes not new. He growled, He

He protests, but he's too drunk to even get up when I take his vodka away from him. Fuck. I havent seen that much blue since he mixed up the hair dye (really? Black hair dye and blue hair dye dont look anything alike.) His nose, his eyes, his cheekbones, even his neck is

Anyone looking to find some sleek and stylish pieces of athletic clothing are in luck, because these sophisticated sportswear styles are some great examples of how you can still be fashionably chic, while playing your favorite sports.
While most sportswear clothing styles are made for their durability and function, these sophisticated styles however, are focused more on being designer-worthy rather than being practical. Sportswear is often associated with types of clothing that are visually unappealing, but modern day retailers are revamping these styles in order to cater to those who are looking for styles that combine function and elegance.
These sophisticated pieces of athletic wear can be seen everywhere from sleek surfer editorials to gorgeously sequinned sportswear campaigns, and it's a great representation of how designer labels are re-creating these sporty styles into something more modern.

Advocacy and Customer Experience are key components of my research agenda on go-to-market strategies. Prior to joining Gartner, I shared a blog post (that you can find here) on the CustomerThink community asking if we are under-investing in advocacy, particularly in the technology sector. I've shared a shortened version of that post below as a reference.
Do you agree or disagree with some of the ideas below? If you are a technology provider doing interesting things to encourage and support the customers that are acting as advocates for your brand, I'd love to hear about it to help expand our body of research in this area. I look forward to speaking with you.
Do You Under-Invest in Advocacy?
Often when people talk about the social media phenomenum, they seem to be focused on the risk of brand damage. People bring up stories like "United Breaks Guitars" (purposely not linked here due to the focus of the article) and cite how much more likely people are to share bad experiences than good ones. As a result, there is a tendency to focus on social "listening" activities to making sure that brand damage is not occurring.
While I am a fan of "listening", I think focusing primarily on "brand protection" is a mistake and a missed opportunity. An associate of mine, Steven Webster (who is now with Microsoft) pointed out an interesting quote from Bill Bernbach, one of advertising's greatest thinkers and the father of the "Think Small" campaign for Volkswagen, and the AVIS "We are number 2, so we try harder" campaign.
"We are so busy measuring public opinion that we forget we can mold it. We are so busy listening to statistics we forget that we can create them."
The idea of "creating statistics" is reinforced by some information I've cited before that I found in a blog post at MackCollier.com and will quote it here again:
"Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have concluded that it only takes 10 percent of a population holding an unshakable belief in order to convince the majority to adopt that same belief. In fact, the scientists found that this will always be the case."
These ideas make me think we may be spending money in the wrong places. I've yet to see anyone make the focus of their marketing program the development of a strong (10% or greater) base of advocates. Do you ever here businesses talk about the number of strong brand advocates they have? Rarely, but they will talk about the number of people that "like" them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter–regardless of the level of engagement in these broad audiences. Putting advocacy development at the core of your social business strategy should be a priority. Remember it only takes a passionate 10% to sway the majority, but your brand needs to find the right targets for the number of advocates it wants to develop and nurture. Establishing and tracking these goals is key to social success. It would be great to hear companies spend more time talking about the size of their advocate community more often than their broad follower numbers.
And imagine the power of a passionate 10% coming to your defense when something bad happens. It is worth more proactive consideration and investment.
Just to recap, if you are a technology provider with some interesting advocacy programs, please reach out to me. I'd love to hear about your programs and results.

Statement by
H.E. Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti,
Permanent Representative of Brazil to the United Nations
Security Council
"The Situation in Timor-Leste"
19 October 2010
Mr. President,
I thank you for convening this open debate on the situation in Timor-Leste. I also thank SRSG Ms. Ameerah Haq for her briefing and commend her for her work in Timor-Leste. I welcome Ambassador Sofia Borges and thank her for her remarks.
Mr. President,
Brazil attaches great importance to the stability and development of Timor-Leste. We maintain strong ties of friendship and cooperation with this fellow Portuguese-speaking country. Bilateral cooperation currently covers a wide range of areas, including education, vocational training, agriculture, reform of the justice sector, military and police training and elections.
We welcome the substantial progress Timor-Leste has made in the past years. The overall political and security situation is stable and the basis for socioeconomic development is being solidly laid.
It is also true that, as the Secretary-General reminds us in his latest report, "further efforts are required to overcome the political, institutional and socio-economic weaknesses that contributed to the events of 2006". Keeping that in mind, Brazil will continue to assist the Timorese government and people in the best way we can. We call upon the international community to also continue to provide its support.
Mr. President,
Four issues deserve our particular attention today: security, elections, development and the future of UNMIT.
With respect to the security situation, I cannot but commend the progress Timor-Leste has achieved and the indispensable support provided by UNMIT and bilateral partners. It is not a small feat that, since we last met here, in February, the PNTL has resumed primary policing responsibilities in almost all districts and in six specialized units. More importantly, the Timorese Police have been discharging its functions appropriately and efficiently. It is not a coincidence that there has been neither an increase in the crime rate nor major security incidents in districts where PNTL resumed primary policing activities.
Nevertheless, we should not underestimate the important role UNMIT must still play in providing security in Timor-Leste. The three important districts where UNPol has retained policing responsibilities are rather sensitive: two of them are located on the border and the third one, Díli, is not only the most populated, but also the political heart of the country. The strategy for a successful transition in these districts is two-fold: enhanced security and jobs creation, especially for the youth. Handing over responsibilities to the PNTL must be conducted with special prudence and rigor. We are fully confident in UNMIT's leadership and judgment on how and when to further transfer responsibility to the Timorese police.
Mr. President,
The most important political test that Timor-Leste will face in the near future will certainly be the national elections of 2012. We all expect the vote to be held in such a way as to solidify democratic values and strengthen Timor-Leste's institutions and stability. UNMIT must be ready to provide the support and assistance that the Timorese government may require. Brazil praises all political parties in the country for their continued engagement in the democratic debate, especially in Parliament, and encourages them to continue on this path, in particular during the electoral period.
The third issue on which I wish to briefly comment is social and economic development. My delegation notes with satisfaction the advances that have taken place in Timor-Leste in this regard. We commend the Timorese government for having selected basic infrastructure and energy, rural development and human resources as the national priorities for 2011 and urge donors and partners to align their assistance with those priorities. We also praise Timor-Leste for managing to reconcile strong economic growth with low inflation. Also to be celebrated is the steep reduction in poverty levels and progress towards meeting key MDGs, including the decrease in infant mortality rates. The efforts made by Timorese authorities to ensure food security and to prevent and combat diseases are also noteworthy. However, more international assistance will be needed to assist Timor-Leste expand food production and improve access to health and education.
Mr. President,
My fourth and last point regards the future of UNMIT, to which Brazil has significantly increased its contribution by sending several senior police officers. In a few months, we will be discussing the Mission's mandate, due to expire in February 2011. It will be a time to assess the progress made, in particular in the security situation. At the same time, it will be important to consider the configuration of a peacekeeping presence that is commensurate with the remaining challenges, especially the forthcoming national elections. Brazil agrees with the careful approach undertaken by the Secretary-General. We should continue to draw lessons from the events of 2006, while recognizing and stimulating progress on the ground. This should be coupled with a continued focus on training the PNTL, so that it can further strengthen its capacity.
In conclusion, Mr. President, my delegation believes that the political and socioeconomic progress made by the Timorese and the smooth resumption of policing responsibilities by PNTL so far show that we are getting closer to turning UNMIT into a full success story. We must now stay the course, with prudence and determination. Completing the good work in a sustainable manner should be our collective goal.
We must also renew our support to the Timorese, both as an Organization and as individual States. Brazil will continue to do its part.
Thank you.
