Cooking together with pens and pencils
Posted on | January 4, 2012 | 12 Comments
Here's a great recipe for a contented, creative family meal:
1. Take a deep breath, stop snapping at the child and offer them the chance to cook a magical feast alongside you.
2. Set up a surface (near your kitchen work surface) with one copy of Doodle Cook by Herve Tullet and a pot of your child's favourite drawing tools.
3. Start cooking together! You follow whatever recipe you're doing, your child follows her own. You chat, you laugh, delicious plates of food get created and everyone is MUCH happier than before!
Don't get me wrong, I love cooking with my kids, but sometimes it's easier to have them alongside in the kitchen without actually chopping, mixing, and spreading mess everywhere. So when I saw that the creator of one of my favourite picture books of 2011, Press Here (my review is here), had created an activity book all about doodling, creativity and food I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
Like so many of Tullet's books, the idea here is very simple. Tullet presents a series of recipes, calling on the "chef" to add a sprinkling of squiggles, a pinch of blobs, a dash of zigzags and so on to create a whole feast of illustrated dishes. There's Triangle Cake, Sun-Ray Tart, Thousand-layer Cake, Dot Stew and Nameless Soup, to give you just a flavour of what's on offer.
The book is sturdily produced and printed on really heavy paper, making it robust and ideal for wild doodling and strong enough to hold up to watery painting too. My only minor gripe would be that I would like to see it published with a ring binding so that it is easy for kids to make the pages lie completely flat. It's hard for small hands to bend the spine thoroughly enough to make sure pages stay open.
I'm a huge fan of activity books both as life savers for busy parents but also as sneaky sources of reading when kids are reluctant to pick up a book (I wrote more about this last summer over at Wahm-Bam). The best activity books will inspire kids to continue being creative when they've filled up the book: with Doodle Cook we had fun coming up with our own doodle recipes, even having a sort of recipe draw-off around the lunch table one day.
All in all, Doodle Cook is perfect to give the kids whilst you're preparing supper or if you wish to encourage your young artist or chef to think outside the box (or should that be 'off the plate'?).
Whilst we both cooked we listened to:
Doodle Cook also made me think of these nice things:
Have you and your kids used any activity books recently? What do you look for in a great activity book?
And, please, if you're a (fairly) regular reader of the blog and haven't left a comment on my New Year's Post, please head on over there and do so!
Disclosure: I received my copy of this book from the publisher. This review, however, remains my own and honest opinion.

What a great post. Thanks for highlighting this book – I'm looking forward to giving it to my little one when she gets a bit older.

Hello from Denmark and thanks a lot for this post and many other great ones! I am sure we will enjoy the All Together Singing in the Kitchen quite a lot and it has a potential of being a new car favourite.
I love the idea behind this particular doodle book, but my kids are a bit too young for it yet. One of our recent favourite activity books though is: Everybody's Activity Book: Cut, Stick, Colour! by Pascale Estellon. With a bit of help my 3 year olds figured out most of the activities.
January 4th, 2012 @ 8:24 am
Ohh, Tom would love this, will have to have a look for it! His Nanny has given him a lovely doodle book made up of postcards to send to her, not sure of its name but its realy lovely (I would check but he has locked it into his treasure box!!)
January 4th, 2012 @ 8:35 am
Wow, so many lovely comments this morning! Thanks to each of you.
Natalja, yes the Estellon books are very beautiful objects in and of themselves as well as being lots of fun. I hope your family does fall in love with All Together Singing in the Kitchen – it's a super album!

Damn, I wish I'D thought of that book! Will just have to buy it instead. Lovely to see more larks in the Playing by the book household!

Hi Alice, is it Taro Gomie by any chance? I wait to hear back!
Ha clara! It is a very good idea. I also like these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doodle-Placemats-Deborah-Zemke/dp/1934706256/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1325682131&sr=8-4 < Doodle placemats!
Hi Rashmie, yes, I really love they draw and cook – and think kids could be quite inspired by it – to draw their favourite recipe. Would make lovely gifts too – a series of family recipe cards illustrated by the kids.

I love that! What a great idea – I will add it to my Amazon list now (it is growing daily thanks to you btw. I will have to start asking for amazon instead of champney's vouchers as gifts!)
January 9th, 2012 @ 6:19 pm
I just saw this in the Gallery bookshop and it looks like so much fun! We're going to give it a try. Other favorite activity books–anything in the Usborne drawing and painting series (we just did a lot of aboriginal dot art from the 365 Days one, so fun!).

On March 31st, 2012, over 75 registered climbers from CrossFit Palo Alto will be participating in the American Lung Association's Fight For Air Climb. With just over a week to go, there is still time to join our team OR donate to the cause. Within CFPA, there are prizes for top fundraisers provided by Reebok|CrossFit.
Every year there is a competition to determine the Fittest On Earth. This competition is called The CrossFit Games. In order to get to the Games there are multiple levels of competition. The first one is The CrossFit Open.
The Open is a worldwide competition where individuals compete in workouts that are posted weekly over the course of 5 weeks. You can video your workout and submit it online to CrossFit for judging and validation or you can perform the workout an a CrossFit affiliate and they will judge the workout and validate your score. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to come and see CrossFit as a sport.
CrossFit Palo Alto will be hosting The Open on 5 Saturdays, starting 2/25, from 1-3pm for those that want to compete. Here is what is required to compete at CFPA.
1) Register with The CrossFit Games site and select CrossFit Palo Alto as your affiliate. (cost $20)
2) Purchase a 5-week pass to The Open at CrossFit Palo Alto. (cost $25)
3) Prepare yourself for some challenging and fun workouts with others from the gym.
(If you are a visitor, you are welcome to compete for a $20 drop in fee. You must be registered with The CrossFit Games site prior to arrival and you must contact us ahead of time.)
Dates of The Open are: 2/25, 3/3, 3/10, 3/17 and 3/24
Please note. These workouts will not be scaled. CrossFit designs the workouts to be very accessible, but this is also a competition that requires strict standards. Examples of these standards are unassisted pullups and pushups. The movements and loads are unknown at this time. This is not a class where time will be spent on teaching the movements. Standards will be reviewed and that will be it. This is NOT an open gym time. This is NOT a time to come in and practice movements, make up workouts, etc. This is not part of your regular program and is completely optional. Therefore, any rest days that you may take in preparation for The Open will not be made up.
Do you ever think to yourself: "My running technique could use some work"? Have you been struggling to pound out those 400 meter runs in class? Are you limping along due to an injury from clomping down the street in preparation for a road race?
It's that time of year again. End of summer? Back to school? The start of football season?
Nope. It's time to gear up for the sixth annual Fight Gone Bad fundraiser!
CrossFit Palo Alto's new iPhone app, Outside the Box, is now available for download on iTunes!

If the schoolyard is the stomping ground of bully boys and bully girls, then the office is the playground of adult bullies. Perhaps because power is the chief perk in most companies, especially those with tight hierarchies, offices can bring out the bully in people.
Everyone has a war story. There's the boss who calls at 2 A.M. from Paris--just because he's there. The boss who asks for your evaluation of a problem and then proceeds to denigrate you and your opinion in front of the whole staff as you seethe with hopefully hidden rage. "It's a demonstration of power. It's demeaning," contends Harry Levinson, Ph.D., the dean of organizational psychologists and head of the Levinson Institute in Waltham, Massachusetts.

How To Use ChopsticksPublished on January 4th, 2011.
In August last year I posted up a video on how to apologize in Japan. This video comes from the same set called The Japanese Tradition and tells you how to properly use chopsticks, well, kind of. I love how these videos start off seriously and just goes downhill a minute in. This one is a bit exaggerated but it's hilarious!
I definitely have to try some of these when I get my hands on some waribashi^^

Clomiphene was a revolutionary advance in reproductive medicine and quickly became popular for induction of ovulation because of its ease of administration and minimal side effects. Ironically, it was initially synthesized as a synthetic estrogen for possible use as a contraceptive.
The pharmacology, indications, and administration of clomiphene citrate will be reviewed here. Other drugs for induction of ovulation are discussed elsewhere. (See "Overview of ovulation induction" and "Strategies for improving the efficacy of clomiphene induction of ovulation".)
Clomiphene is a triphenylethylene derivative distantly related to diethylstilbestrol. It acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator, similar to tamoxifen and raloxifene. All three drugs are competitive inhibitors of estrogen binding to estrogen receptors and have mixed agonist and antagonist activity, depending upon the target tissue. (See "Mechanisms of action of selective estrogen receptor modulators".)
The commercially available form of clomiphene is the dihydrogen citrate salt (clomiphene citrate). It contains two stereoisomers: zu-clomiphene (38 percent) and en-clomiphene (62 percent), which were originally called the cis-isomer and trans-isomer, respectively. En-clomiphene is cleared rapidly, while zu-clomiphene has a long half-life. The two clomiphene isomers have mixed estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects that vary among species. Zu-clomiphene appears to have greater estrogenic activity than en-clomiphene [1].
14C-labeled clomiphene citrate is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Fifty percent of the oral dose is excreted after five days, but radioactivity from labeled clomiphene appears in the feces up to six weeks after administration. However, the pharmacologic effect of clomiphene citrate is brief [2].

Abbey Lee Kershaw
mis à jour le 15/6/2012
BORN12 June 1987
Abbey Lee Kershaw was born June 12, 1987 in Melbourne, Australia. In 2004, Abbey Lee Kershaw took her first steps in modeling when she won the Covergirl Model Search contest. Once she finished high school in 2005, she left Melbourne for Sydney. While on a walk at the beach, the 18 year-old was spotted by talent scout Kathy Ward, who also discovered Miranda Kerr and Samantha Harris. Abbey Lee signed with Chic Management agency.
Her career took an international turn once she moved to Europe and signed with Danish agency, 2pm Management, and she was soon fronting H&M and Levi's campaigns. In 2007, the young model with childlike looks and a willowy frame signed with the agency Next, and moved to New York where she booked her first Fashion Week during the Fall/Winter 2007-2008 collections, walking for twenty-nine designers, including Oscar de la Renta and Rodarte. For her first fashion show in Milan, Abbey Lee Kershaw was chosen by Gucci as main model of the design house. In 2009, the brand then asked her to represent their perfume Flora. The campaign was shot by Inez and Vinoodh and filmed by Chris Cunningham. Abbey Lee Kershaw made her true entrance into the center of the big design houses when she closed the Chanel haute couture spring-summer 2010 fashion show in a wedding gown side-by-side with Baptiste Giabiconi, Karl Lagerfeld's male model protégé.
In 2010 and 2011, Abbey Lee secured her place in fashion history by modeling for the Pirelli calendars under the direction of photographers Terry Richardson and Karl Lagerfeld respectively. Although New York City-based Abbey Lee won over top designers with her graceful figure and doll-like face, the platinum blonde has a passion for tattoos and a dozen piercings. Between shows, she spends her time performing with her band, Our Mountain, with whom Abbey Lee Kershaw made an appearance in a short film directed by Inez & Vinoodh, presenting the first Pierre Balmain collection.

I tried this because of the glass jar. I am disappointed in the lack of taste and fragrance. I usually like raw living food. I will not buy this brand of coconut oil again.
This oil is the best!

One single week in Mahajanga is too long enough to get oneself in: the local customs cannot be resisted. The main attraction: going for a walk by the sea in the early evening . Every evening, the seaside, not too far away from the harbor, teems with a large number of locals, holiday makers and travelling foreigners. By twilight time, all these people of all ages spontaneously make for the beach and meet with friends and relatives by the sea. The extraordinarily fresh sea breeze sees to it that the next hours become unforgettable. On the seaside promenade in Mahajanga, even the Grumpy Cat would recall how relieving and reviving a smile actually is.
The seaside promenade is first and foremost an ideal meeting place to those willing to seize the opportunity to meet new friends, reunite with longtime friends, or simply date a love of one's heart ... Drinks and snacks are obviously part of it. On weekends, the seaside would make believe, that the whole city had been evacuated. Some people rumor that Saturdays belong to the residents of Tsararano ( Mahajanga's popular area ), and Sundays to those of the Corniche ( a residential area ) . But hearsays have never kept anyone from any district to join the promenade at will and mingle among the crowds on Saturdays as well as on Sundays. Mahajanga stands on Madagascar's western coast as a matter of fact. Once again the city's promenade draws an asset up its sleeve. The sunset is a wonderful opportunity to watch families and friends spending time together joyfully enjoying the sunset's fading beams!

India Plans Emissions Trading Scheme
4:42 AM MST | January 28, 2011 | Deepti Ramesh
India will announce a market-based emission trading scheme on February 1, which will aim to introduce a self-regulated system for manufacturing units and put a price on the emission of pollutants, reports say. The emissions trading scheme will be first introduced in the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. In an emission trading scheme, the regulator sets the overall amount of emissions but does not decide what any particular source will emit. Industrial plants and other polluters, rather than being told a fixed emissions limit, face a price for their emissions and...

See-through projection display with over 80% transmittance levels under development
Pioneer is currently developing a see-through projection system, which projects an image from behind onto a transmissive transparent display.
The brightness and transmittance levels are higher than when using a transmissive LCD panel, and Pioneer expects it to be used as a new form of digital signage in storefront windows, combining video projection with traditional window dressing.
GungHo + DeNA + GREE overtake Japan's game icons
Since last financial year (ended March 31, 2013), three newcomers (GungHo, DeNA, and GREE) combined achieved higher operating income and higher net income than all 9 iconic Japanese game companies (Nintendo + SONY-Games + SegaSammy + BandaiNamco + Konami + TakaraTomy + SquareEnix + Capcom + TecmoKoei) combined.
While the newcomer's revenues are increasing (except for GREE), the traditional 9 game companies' revenues peaked in 2008, and have been falling rapidly ever since.
Fukushima - How much radioactive cesium is there?
We've been asked a lot about what is happening with the Fukushima reactor situation. And we're certainly watching it.
Well, we're a tech news site, and nuclear power is some awesome technology, and it seems that the technology to contain and fix this problem may turn out to be just as awesome and interesting to learn about. But more importantly, we are here, living in Japan, and wondering and worrying about what is really going on.

Other women describe how friends don't understand why they are going to so many doctor appointments — especially during the third trimester when women with diabetes are monitored several times a week with a fetal nonstress test to make sure the baby's activity level is normal. It's frustrating when your friends can't relate to your experience (in spite of your explanations), but what's ultimately most important is that you respect that a pregnancy with diabetes really is different and that you attend to your needs.
If you're not getting the support you need from your established social circle, you may want to seek out or even create a local support group for women with diabetes who are pregnant or go online to www.DiabeticMommy.com to become part of that cyber-support network.
Trimester by trimester
For women with diabetes, each trimester truly contains its own challenges. Because the first trimester is the time of much of the fetus's major organ development, it is critical to maintain blood glucose in the recommended range during this time. However, women may not find out right away that they are pregnant, and even when they do, their blood glucose levels can fluctuate wildly because of the introduction of pregnancy hormones into their systems. This is the time when women need frequent contact with a physician or CDE who can help them to make insulin adjustments as needed. During my second pregnancy, my endocrinologist had me wear a continuous glucose monitoring system in my first trimester for three days so that we could see what was going on with my glucose levels 24 hours a day and then make adjustments to my insulin doses from there.
Morning sickness can also disrupt some women's blood glucose control during the first trimester. How do you know how much rapid-acting insulin to take when you're not sure how much of your meal you'll be able to eat or keep down? I discovered that insulin pump therapy allowed me to easily take part of my premeal bolus before I ate, then take more during the meal as needed. On days I felt nauseated, being able to do this made all of the difference in my blood glucose control.
The second trimester is when most women see their insulin needs increasing each week, as pregnancy hormones cause them to become more and more insulin resistant. Some women describe this time as "chasing their blood sugars" — needing to add more insulin just when they thought they'd found the dosage they needed. Insulin pump therapy, which mimics the human pancreas by secreting small amounts of insulin into the bloodstream in an ongoing manner, makes it easier for a woman to make adjustments in her basal rates at this stage in pregnancy. In fact, many women with Type 1 diabetes go on the pump before conception with the specific purpose in mind of making pregnancy management simpler and better.
This pattern of increasing insulin needs usually continues into the third trimester, which is often a challenging time because it's when the woman is at her largest. She may feel more tired and less able to exercise. For me, swimming helped to keep me in shape during the last few months when walking more than a few blocks felt like running a marathon.
Planning for delivery
It is during the third trimester that women need to sit down with their obstetrician and talk through a birth plan. For women with diabetes, a baby's due date is somewhat flexible. Because we are at a higher risk for stillborn babies, many physicians routinely schedule babies to be delivered at week 38 or 39, which can be done by induction or Caesarean section (C-section), depending on factors including the size of the baby (estimated by an ultrasound report).

We turned off the stove at the breaker panel. Took off the front top panel of stove and replaced the replacement board. It had three attachments to plug in. We then replaced front panel and turned on the breaker. The stove worked perfectly. It is very nice to have a clock and temperature reading visable again. Part Select was very easy to order from and we received our part within a couple of days. Will certainly suggest them to friends and will use them again.

Idea Borrowing
Some of the entrepreneurs of our time haven't been the inventors we believe them to be. It's not a criticism, entrepreneurship goes far beyond inventing and ideas. In fact some of our most revered entrepreneurs are simply good at cross fertilization.
Let's take Steve Jobs for example. He didn't invent the GUI (Graphical User Interface), the mouse, icons, paint, folders or any of the 'user friendly' things that Apple became famous for.
He 'borrowed ideas'. By looking at related categories Jobs was able to adopt new thinking and bring it to his market in a way that made sense. He was a great normative thinker. The best example of Jobs in action was when he was invited into the Xerox PARC office for a study tour to 'share knowledge'. In essence, they gave Jobs the key to their kingdom. This is where Jobs vision of the future of the personal computer grew from.
The first GUI was on a Xerox office workstation called the Alto. Closely followed by the Xerox Star in 1977 – see picture below.
Look Familiar?
The trip to Xerox by Apple computer's Steve Jobs in 1979 led to the graphical user interface and mouse being integrated into the Apple's Lisa and, later, the first Macintosh.
Jobs borrowed ideas, ideas born in a photocopier company.
Ebay took the excitement and quick sale of the auction process from real estate.
Craigslist made an electronic web based newspaper classified.
So the question begs to all entrepreneurs, what new technologies, ideas or systems can we borrow from adjacent industries?
Arrogance = your opportunity
I bought this reasonably cool pair of board shorts for surfing this summer.
They cost me a whopping $80. Which is what I call 'insult pricing'. It's a pretty simple equation actually. The key players in the surfwear industry (Billabong, Quiksilver and Ripcurl) charge these prices because they can. They don't have any 'credible competitors' in this board short subsegment of clothing.
In recent years surf brands have been hit by many competitors in other areas of the market which they used to 'own'. Especially in t-shirts, from the myriad of streetwear companies, to the uber cool on-line players like Neighborhoodies and Threadless. Interestingly the shorts in this photo would cost >$5 to make. There is significant margin in the product. Such high margins often begets competitive entry into the market place.
The arrogance of said surf brands has invented an opportunity for a nimble entrepreneur to steal part of this market. And the way to do it is exactly the way Threadless have. Go online and build a community to design the uber cool boardshorts / shorts and sell them globally at a fair price. In fact, surf wear is so clichéd and over branded these days that I avoid wearing it. Most of the designs are very rank and have really lost their edge. I only use surf brands for surf equipment. The only reason I bought the pair in the photo is 'lack of options'.
If anyone knows some one already doing it – let me know
If anyone wants to do it – let me know as well. I think it's worth 'investing in'.
Competition is eternally existential. We compete for love, money, attention, fame, wealth, recognition, and sometimes, we even compete for food. Turns out humans aren't the only species who must to compete to survive. All living things must do it. Even trees in a deep forest compete for sunlight by growing as quickly as possible forgoing width for height.
What I find most interesting about competition is how we or any being chooses to do it. When a competitor catches us unaware, they usually achieve this through using some form of subterfuge. Like growing in a smaller segment of the market. Focusing on a neglected geography. And the really smart competitors disguise what they are doing so you don't even see them coming. A little like Google has done to Microsoft who was overly focused on the 'desktop', while the world was moving to web app's and gathering and storing of information externally.
I noticed this phenomenon first hand recently. My business was moving along swimmingly (which in this case is my tomato plantation). As you can see from the photo below. My Roma's looked healthy and almost ready for the picking:
But upon closer inspection a competitor had been eating away at my market for quite a long time without me noticing. Once I turned around the tomato to inspect the back side of them – I was devastated to find my competition. They caught me napping and had a very big impact on my market share. As can be seen here:
How did they manage this?
- The caterpillar was smart enough to attack on the reverse side out of view.
- His color is exactly the same as the tomato proving an excellent camouflage.
- He waited till the market was already developed (by me) and the tomatoes had a reasonable size and were worth attacking – in this case risking his life over!
- In true terrorist fashion he penetrated the market at one entry point and ate it inside out. That is, the caterpillar was so deep inside the market, he was completely out of view.
None of this was by mistake. It has been driven by millennia of evolutionary survival and subsequent genetic coding. Nature is smart.
The implications for startups are many. When we start out to compete, the best thing we can do is replicate what nature does. Stay out of harms way. Stay small and unseen. Try and gain some momentum and size. If we're lucky will have built our share of the market and be ensconced before anyone notices.
(FYI – I picked the tomatoes, and placed them in another location of the garden to let the caterpillars fight another day – they may just leave some seeds which will flourish next season!)
iphone apps & mini-preneurs
Got an idea for an iphone app you can't find?
Great – there's like a zillion iphone app developers waiting for your business right here, and here and here.
So write the brief for the app you want and can't find, contact the developers and get it made. Get your itunes account up, choose a cheap 'low barrier' price, like a 'dollar' or so and sell that puppy. Remember it's better to sell a $1 iphone app a lot of times than a a $5 or $10 one no times at all.
This micro-entrepreneurs opportunity is as simple as they come. Global distribution with an engaged audience – rare indeed. A classic 'trend hijack'.
Go now – make it, sell it.
Tell your story – 'Quickly'
People are very time poor, or maybe just a little impatient. Regardless of which it is we have to be able to tell our story quickly.

Even this chart below tells the story on long term 'index' investing. Of which Vanguard are the founding forefathers.
The recent downturn is a best a 'blip'.
How long does your startup story take to tell? Here's a tip – we've got a few seconds at most.
People Watching
If you're an entrepreneur and you've never been 'people watching', then start up blog strongly recommends a session. For a lot of reasons it's a cool thing all entrepreneurs should do. For one, all our revered entrepreneurs are champion trend spotters. And they spot these trends a long time before they are reported in the Sunday newspaper lift outs.
What's next?
Go some where busy, go somewhere where there are zillions of transactions, go somewhere sans commerce, go where families hang out, go somewhere singles hangout, look for the subgroups, watch people looking at shelves in stores – guess their decision process, see if this process is the same for all or different for all, see what they wear, see how they move, how did they get there, where are they from, bring a notepad with you and write down ideas, go places you've never been before…. Watch people, guess their motivations, view their life in action and then we'll be the ones gaining life experience…. Just go and watch.
The funny thing about our world is that we are all in it every day, but very few of us are actually paying any attention to it. Step off the stage and become the director. Make it a habit to pay attention to what is going on in our world.
As entrepreneurs and marketers we are lucky. We can do our homework everywhere we go, and our start ups are the key beneficiaries.
One of our jobs in business is this:
"Make it as easy as possible for people to give us their money"
It's already hard enough to convince people to buy our product or service, so why some businesses minimize payment options is beyond me.
photo by Mike Monteiro
Cash only, just doesn't cut it these days. Regardless if we are on line, business to business or in retail, minimizing the payment options has this simple repercussion: It minimizes revenue.
Live example is a café in Melbourne called 'Journal'. I had a company breakfast there and they wouldn't accept my credit card. They even had the audacity to say 'Who doesn't carry cash on them?' Answer: plenty of people. That's fine. I'm never going there again and they missed out on around $100 this week.
Startups ought make it easy to collect revenue.

Theatre & customization – Active feet
I was recently enthralled by the in store theatre of local Melbourne sports shoe retailer Active Feet. In fact it was much more than theatre. It was service, theatre and attitude. The store is owned and run by podiatrists.
We walked in the store and the first thing the store assistant did was introduce himself, and ask if we'd been in the store before. When we gave the 'yes' response and name, he asked to be excused for a few moments and went out the back to check the computer. Upon his return the assistant asked how the flat feet were going, how the particular joggers purchased worked out, and even how boot camp was going. It wasn't contrived, but I could sense in the tone of voice and body language that this guy cared. I could sense it. All humans can, we can sense people who are faking it.
After this we moved onto the walking machine to assess the feet with some pretty impressive podiatry tools. He then went onto recommend some shoes to try based on the treadmill assessment and a mutual discussion. All of which can be seen in some action shots below.
How many companies have things like databases and valuable customer information that just sits on a computer somewhere and never gets reviewed, let alone used to great value for a returning customer.
Startup lesson: If we are going to collect information for our customers, then maybe we should use it, and not only use it but customize it.
Oh, we bought the shoes there.

The Sandwich Man
Maybe you're a great web designer
Maybe you're a great coder
Maybe you're a financial wizard
Maybe you've got a flair for industrial design
Maybe you're a craftsman with unique skills
Maybe you're great at managing and building a supply chain.
Maybe selling isn't something you enjoy, like or even care about. Maybe making presentations is the part of business that really isn't your thing.
Problem is this: There's plenty of great ideas, businesses and people who never reached their full potential because the selling bit was missing.
Step forward the 'Sandwich man'
Startup blog definition: Sandwich Man – a gun presenter and public communicator who presents the ideas and sells the dream on behalf of the business.
A sandwich man is called such, because he holds together all the good things like the bread does on a yummy sandwich. Without him all the ingredients, nutrition, 'reason for being' could all fall away.
A good sandwich man would start and close any business presentation to people like venture capitalists, suppliers, key accounts, customers and the media.
Quite often successful businesses are run by a team where one of the members is the tech genius and the other is the Sandwich Man. Who then communicates the ideas and vision to get people on board. Rarely people are lucky enough to have both skill sets. Regardless of which skill set we have, we always need a sandwich man. We can even bring one into the team on a needs basis.
But without one, we may end up with a great product or business which never gets the traction it deserves.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels BaseballThe Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

7. Sleater-Kinney (1995)
Clocking out after a mere 22 minutes, Sleater-Kinney's debut takes the stylistic torch of the Pacific Northwest indie scene and holds it heroically high. At this point, the band was a side project, but as a combination of Heavens To Betsy's rangy melodicism and Excuse 17's tight punk-rock rhythmic chops, it's clear in retrospect why this new project became the primary focus. The album is a heady series of refusals: to sell out, to be defined by any relationship, to be claimed by the hungry maw of American masculinity. Brownstein and Tucker's guitars curl and seethe like some combination of Sonic Youth (especially on album opener "Don't Think You Wanna" and the minute-long "A Real Man") and Fugazi. The basic dynamic was established here: Tucker occupies the low end and Brownstein provides minimalist, melodic pings.
At the time, the album was regarded in the larger music press as an exemplary riot grrrl document, but it's now clear how grand the band's sonic ambition was. The downcast, alt-pop "The Day I Went Away" is an early experiment in contrasting vocals, with Tucker taking the chorus, contributing a poignancy to Brownstein's affecting flatness on the verses' line endings. "The Last Song" conjures a churning ocean of low-end; Brownstein expertly dials up the vocal restiveness until the screamo chorus ("I don't owe you anything/ I'm not a part of you") hollered (I imagine) from the back of the recording space. And "Slow Song" rides the range as well as vintage Pavement, with Tucker scaling back the ululations for heart-tugging alienation.
Remarkably, the album was recorded in a single day with a recruited drummer (Lora Macfarlane) during a trip to Australia. (The band's founders were a couple at this point, a fact revealed to the world -- and the band's families -- in a 1997 Spin article.) Macfarlane -- who sings lead on "Lora's Song," backed by Tucker's subtle rhythmic chopping -- moved to Seattle, recording the follow-up Call The Doctor. Sleater-Kinney's reputation has suffered in comparison to the confident punk-rock surge of Doctor, but make no mistake: This is an assured, powerful record.
Sleater-Kinney: the name suggests a joint sociological survey, or perhaps a university residence hall. Turns out it's the Lacey, WA street on which the band held practices. It's a fitting name for a group that spent more than a decade interrogating the nature of being a band. Formed by two Evergreen State University students in the searing heat of the riot grrrl movement, Sleater-Kinney maintained a breakneck pace: releasing seven albums in 10 years, touring worldwide, and providing some of the more intelligent interviews in rock.
In a sense, Sleater-Kinney (whose classic lineup consists of drummer Janet Weiss and founding members/guitarists/vocalists Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker) were one of the most professional bands of the indie-rock boom. Theirs was a non-corporate professionalism, one that saw them reach astounding levels of popularity without ever jumping the indie-label ship. They kept their heads down and challenged each other toward greatness, in the process expanding their instrumental and structural vocabulary through seven fantastic-to-incredible albums. Fame, motherhood, breakups, marriage: None of it could slow Sleater-Kinney down.
While Wikipedia still, as of today, has Sleater-Kinney pegged as a "riot grrrl" band, that's clearly not the whole story. The riot grrrl scene was a revolution on par with '77 punk or the first wave of American hardcore — two scenes that, despite their democratic promise, proved to be largely unaccommodating for women. It was a free region for feminist ideas and feelings and alliances and outrage, incorporating art and poetry and zinemaking and theory. Like John Peel's beloved indie hobbyists or the DC peripherals dutifully chronicled by Ian MacKaye, the majority of self-identified riot grrrls saw expression as a vital end in itself. The idea wasn't to do something important. It was to do something, which was inherently important.
Having said that, Sleater-Kinney was unique. Their first album, recorded in a day, put them on the map. By their third record, they were underground stars. A bassless power trio, with Tucker holding down the rumbling low-end and Brownstein darting about with curled midrange lines, Sleater-Kinney developed an awesome chemistry, as lines seamlessly meshed and clashed within the confines of a hooky three-minute song. In Weiss, the band had one of indie rock's greatest treasures, a drummer capable of everything from assault-rifle rolls to the thundering tomwork of the gods. They wrote pop songs, punk-rock songs, songs of seething dudgeon and sexist nose-tweaking. They spent an album unpacking 9/11 and being a mom, and it was a triumph. Then, having taken their sound to its developmental endpoint, they went to the woods for intuitive, monolithic thrashing.
To see Sleater-Kinney as a riot grrrl band does them a bit of a disservice; to see them as an indie rock band, on the other hand, does a disservice to their origin, and their ideals. Brownstein, Tucker, and Weiss were keen to lay out (and explode) the expectations set out by a larger world. They never stopped rocking about rock, because they were always thinking about it (and it was always being thrown in their faces). But when they sang about someone pricing your body or crawling up the stairway to heaven, it was never just about music. Sleater-Kinney remains on hiatus, but we're still reenacting the same battles.
What follows is a list of Sleater-Kinney albums in some kind of order. Worst to best, ostensibly, but they're all indispensable. We can talk Portlandia in the comments. Start the Countdown here.

Book Release - I'M NOT MAD, I'M PSYCHIC!
Wayne Isaacs is today one of the best known faces on Psychic Television. This book tells his incredible story from a seriously disturbed childhood, where he was considered to be psychologically challenged to a period inside a secure psychiatric hospital. Wayne was hearing voices, seeing visions, accumulating information without recourse to any identifiable source, they said he was mad. Wayne was not mad, Wayne was a Psychic-Medium. This is his incredible story, told by Wayne himself in conjunction with international best selling author John G. Sutton who is also the feature editor of the voice of Spiritualism Psychic World monthly. This is the terrible truth of what it is like to have a very special supernatural gift in a hard materialistic world where outsiders are required to conform or else! Sad, funny, disturbing, thoughtful and true, this book will change the way you view psychic phenomena forevermore.
My Story
Ever since I was a child I always had an idea I was different to other boys and from the age of fifteen I had always worked with helping others in the property world and was very successful in this line of work and enjoyed dealing with people and they were always drawn to me to help them and advise them of choices they had to make. I only found my gift later on in life when different circumstances happened to me through out my teenage years. I have always felt the urge to give people messages but really didn't understand what I was dealing with and I always thought we could all do this and had the gift. In the early years I thought it was just guess work or me being lucky. My mediumship work really took off when my Mother passed away in 2003 very quickly from Cancer and this I believed opened me up to question my ability and what was it that was giving me the information. I wanted to know how am I able to do this and what was my purpose in life. After attending a spiritualist church in 2003 and getting a message from a Medium with Mum coming through with exact validations I joined a circle group and became the only person left from a group that started out as forty. I then went on to do platform work and one to one readings. The rest is history and I know spirit have pushed me to were I am today but I must say all what has happened to me has been a natural progression and has not been pushed or rushed.

(Bay City News)
Palo Alto fire Chief Eric Nickel was lauded at this week's city council meeting for his apparent heroics helping a sick passenger on a flight from Chicago to San Francisco last month.
At Monday's meeting, City Manager James Keene read to council members a letter from American Airlines that thanked the chief for helping a woman suffering from a medical emergency while mid-flight on Aug. 18.
The modest chief, who did not attend Monday's meeting, said later this week, "Any of the firefighters here would have done the same thing and stepped up."
Nickel claimed firefighters are "never truly off-duty" and he experienced this firsthand while on a Sunday flight back from Chicago where he had attended the International Association of Fire Chiefs conference.
A few hours into the flight he said a call went out for a doctor or nurse onboard. When there was no response flight attendants asked if anyone had any medical background or training to assist with a medical emergency.
"That's when I IDed myself and said I'm the fire chief of the city of Palo Alto," he said.
According to the chief, a flight attended grabbed his arm and said "Please, please come up front."
That's where he found a woman in her 50s with an abdominal issue. Nickel did not want to divulge more details about her ailment, citing patient privacy.
With 13 years of paramedic training, Nickel said he started to assess the woman and determined she needed to be at a hospital and that the well-stocked medical supply bag, filled with a defibrillator, IV tubing and other medications, would be of no use to her.
The flight attendants were relaying messages from Nickel to the pilot about the situation, he said. Nickel asked if there was a doctor he could speak with via radio, but the pilot said that would not be possible.
The pilot himself then asked Nickel if he thought the crew should divert to Salt Lake City which was only 25 minutes away, or wait the two hours until arriving to San Francisco.
"I said this lady has no business on a plane up here," Nickel said and he decided to recommend making a medical emergency stop.
The pilot then made an announcement to the plane about the modified travel plans, and once they landed in Salt Lake City the woman was whisked away by responding medical crews.
Nickel was able to give his business card to the woman's husband, who later emailed the chief to thank him for his help.
When Nickel returned to his seat he dreaded the reaction of his fellow travelers whose travel plans had been delayed. But he said all the passengers were clapping, which he described as "kind of uncomfortable but it was cool."
A few days after returning to the Bay Area, Nickel received a letter written by the American Airlines medical director. Nickel said it was very formal and dramatic.
Accompanying the letter was a travel voucher for another flight, he said.
Nickel said Keene wanted to read the letter at this week's meeting and he gave him the OK. Nickel gave the flight voucher back to the council, whom he felt deserved to use the free trip because they had footed the travel expenses for the conference.
Nickel said the husband of the ill woman had emailed him after the ordeal and said that the couple had been planning to vacation in the Bay Area before their plans were derailed. His wife spent two days in the Salt Lake City hospital before they returned to the Chicago area.
The husband said the woman had fully recovered.
Nickel said he invited the couple to stop by the Palo Alto fire department for a visit if they were able to make up the trip to the Bay Area.
