|The bride's sister passed away, is it appropriate to dedicate the wedding ceremony to her with a separate page exclusively for her with her picture, or is this too obituary like?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by nancylouise (My Page) on Sun, Apr 9, 06 at 15:12
|I haven't seen that done before in a wedding program, a section dedicated just to the deceased. The majority of the weddings I have been to represent a deceased loved one with a white rose up at the alter or podium with the bride and groom. The minister, priest, JP, says something about the representation at the beginning of the ceremony. NancyLouise
- Posted by sweet_pea10 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 9, 06 at 15:44
|It is appropriate to briefly mention those who have passed on in the program, but to dedicate an entire page to her with a picture might be a bit much. If she passed away recently, then having a memorial candle or bouquet is appropriate with a brief note in the program explaining the significance of the item. If she passed away a number of years ago, then limit it only to the note in the program. Again, if she passed away recently, it is also appropriate to leave one seat empty with a white rose on it. The bride can place the rose on the chair when she enters. This is quite common when parents are deceased.

|Sweet Pea & Nancy L, I think yur ideas are very good. Those are wonderful ways to remember the sister, but not with a page.
- Posted by jerriellijay (My Page) on Wed, Apr 12, 06 at 13:04
|We had a tiny wedding on the front porch of our historical home. Two chairs were set up, one for my deceased grand father and one for my husband's deceased grandmother. Each chair had a framed photo and a flower. So they were there in spirit.
|It is a wonderful idea to remember those that were close to us and couldn't be there for us on our special day. Some just light the candle, or you can buy inexpensive gifts for your wedding party in memory of the loved ones that are not with us for that day. You can check our memorial items and candles on this website www.2-be-unique.com.
Wish you all the best

|why would I give my friend the bridesmaid a gift in memory of my sister?
If I'm the bridesmaid, I want my bridesmaid gift to be about my relationship to the bride, not about her recently deceased sister.
if you're going to advertise ont he forums, which isn't allowed, at least make sense!
- Posted by nancylouise (My Page) on Fri, Jul 28, 06 at 9:54
|I agree with talley sue, if you want to advertise your items for sale there are places on this website to do so. It isn't allowed on the forums. Giving bridesmaids gifts is about the friendship between the bride and her wedding party. Giving gifts in memory of a deceased loved one would seem a bit odd to me. NancyLouise
|If you are Catholic, you could mention her name at the appropriate time during the wedding ceremony.

Exploring Highland Park on Foot from the Metra Station
by crandell | 05/29/2010
Highland Park has one of the most walkable suburban downtowns accessible by Metra train. Back in March, I had a day off and hopped on the Union Pacific North to check it out. If offers a pleasant downtown, great neighborhoods to stroll, some nice lakefront parks, a beach and outdoor concerts at Ravinia.
If you're looking for a nice bike ride from Chicago, you can also ride up the North Branch Trail to Highland Park, or the Green Bay Trail provides a bicycle connection through the other north shore suburbs north from Wilmette.
The UP-N Highland Park stop lets you off at Central Ave., which is Highland Park's main street. You'll find some boutique shops, a theater, a bakery, a cafe, as well as restaurants and bars.
If you walk east on Central Ave., you'll hit Lake Michigan at Central Park after about a half mile. Central Park is on a bluff with a great view, but you aren't at water level. I had picked up coffee and a pastry downtown and wanted a nicer spot to sit and enjoy it. A local at Central Park recommended I walk a little south to Millard Park, which has nicer views and better water access. I headed down Lake Ave., winding my way to a dead end (see map below), where you can enter the woods on a path. This path takes you to a gazebo on another bluff. From there you can follow a path down the bluff or go south along the top of the bluff, and you'll eventually hit a stairwell down to the water. At the waterfront, there's some kind of abandoned industrial building. It's not a place you'd probably hang out at the beach, but it's an interesting place and worthy of the walk. From there, you can take Ravine Dr. back west toward the Metra station. Ravine Dr. is a really beautiful walk winding through a ravine.
If you're seeking better lake access with a nice beach to hang out at, you can walk a little further south down the Green Bay Trail (or get off at the Ravinia Metra stop) and hit up Rosewood Park and Beach.
Highland Park is also home to Ravinia Park, an outdoor music venue. While I personally prefer the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park for it's free picnic concerts, Ravinia is also a worthy paid venue. It's a bit over 2 miles south of downtown Highland Park, which would be a nice walk on the Green Bay Trail or through the neighborhoods, but the park also has its own Metra stop (only stops here during the summer concert season).

Tue, Nov 20, 2012
An Iranian national has been charged in a plot to illegally ship military-grade U.S. aircraft parts to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was thwarted by the U.S. government.
A Grand Jury in the Southern District of New York returned a six-count Indictment charging Alireza Moazami Goudarzi, an Iranian national, with various offenses related to a scheme to illegally export military and civilian aircraft parts from the United States to Iran. Goudarzi, 28, was arrested in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by Malaysian authorities, on October 24, 2012, pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant. He is currently in Malaysian custody pending extradition proceedings. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Kevin P. Castel.
"As alleged, Alireza Moazami Goudarzi aggressively sought to purchase and export military-grade aircraft parts and other materials to Iran in violation of multiple statutes and regulationsn," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in a news release Thursday. "Goudarzi brazenly discussed his willingness to pay higher prices in order to circumvent the embargo, and used multiple aliases and an international network of co-conspirators in his attempts to trans-ship materials to Iran, as is detailed in the allegations. Ultimately, Goudarzi was thwarted in his alleged attempts by the outstanding work of domestic and international law enforcement who quickly acted on a tip by a supplier who did the right thing and performed a great service."
"(The) Indictment reinforces HSI's commitment to dismantle foreign procurement networks seeking to obtain sensitive technologies and components. These procurement networks pose a serious threat to our National Security," said HSI New York Special Agent-in-Charge James T. Hayes, Jr. "We will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners, both domestic and foreign, to disrupt and dismantle these organizations and prevent the unlawful acquisition of these technologies and goods."
According to the allegations contained in the Indictment returned yesterday and a criminal complaint previously filed Manhattan federal court:
During October 2010, Goudarzi contacted a United States supplier (the "Supplier") seeking to buy certain civilian aircraft parts for shipment to Iran, and, as an incentive, offered to pay more than market value because of the embargo on sending these parts to Iran. After the Supplier referred the solicitation to investigating agents, an undercover agent (the "UC") began corresponding with Goudarzi regarding the proposed purchase, as well as other purchases of aircraft parts that Goudarzi sought to buy from the UC. Those purchases included rotor blades for a particular model of attack helicopter, and most recently, jet engine parts listed on the United States Munitions List – a list of defense articles that cannot be legally exported from the U.S. without a license from the State Department. Goudarzi met with the UC in person to purchase those parts and made payments to the UC towards their purchase. Throughout his negotiations with the UC, Goudarzi frequently changed the
names associated with his email and other electronic communications accounts in order to avoid detection by law enforcement authorities. Goudarzi employed the aliases Mikel Scofield, Saeed Ebrahimi, Sebastian Wilson, Richard Bocher, and Mike Brown.
The Indictment charges Goudarzi with one count of conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, together with Executive Orders and United States Treasury regulations, one count of conspiring to violate the Arms Export Control Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, one count of attempting to violate the Arms Export Control Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, one count of conspiring to commit money laundering, and two counts of money laundering. The count alleging a conspiracy to violate the Arms Export Control Act carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison; each of the other counts carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Mr. Bharara praised the law enforcement partners involved in the investigation, including the New York Offices of ICE HSI and DCIS and the United States Department of Commerce. He also thanked the Malaysian authorities whose assistance was invaluable in Goudarzi's arrest, the Attorney General's Chambers, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the Royal Malaysian Police. Mr. Bharara also thanked the U.S. Department of Justice's National Security Division and Office of International Affairs, as well as the Criminal Division's Department of Justice Attaché with responsibility for Malaysia and the Criminal Division's Resident Legal Advisor in Kuala Lumpur for their invaluable assistance.
This case is being handled by the Office's Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Michael D. Lockard and Jason B. Smith are in charge of the prosecution.

My family loved these. I doubled the recipe and served with melted butter and a TON of minced garlic which was a nice addition. Next time, I will add more garlic and maybe some herbs for more flavor, but they were fine as written. I didn't put them in muffin pans, but hand formed the rolls on a large baking pan.
This is not the prettiest roll but it is very easy and had good flavor. I don't usually use a lot of salt so the salt was a smidgen overpowering for us. If I were to make it again I would decrease the salt amount to 1 teaspoon

very very yummie!!!
These are amazing!! Everyone in the house said they are better than Red Lobster biscuits which gave me an idea of making them with cheddar cheese instead of parm....trying that tonight:) Update: made these using cheddar cheese in the dough..it was good but the way the recipe is written is sooo much better. Won't change a thing on this one:)
I just made these to go with Christmas dinner and they turned out really well. I did give them a second rise and used real garlic as opposed to garlic powder (crushed and steeped in the milk/water) I also added some chives. My boyfriend told me last year that I should stop trying to make bread... this year he ate 3 of these rolls!
These were amazing! Made it with chicken soup for dinner and everyone loved it! I found it just a little salty, though; next time will only add a teaspoon of salt. Light and fluffy and the parmesan was perfect!
I thought they looked great, but I did follow others advice and decreased the salt. I'm disappointed I did--they needed it, in my opinion. Maybe that was all it needed, but some melted butter on top would have been nice, too.
My husband's reaction after stealing a bite while these were cooling was "Wow!". They are delicous and easy to make. I served them with sausage and lentil soup, and these rounded out the meal perfectly! I'll be making them again.

Five Second-Half Goals Sends Men's Soccer to CAA Semifinal Match
Nov. 11, 2008
FAIRFAX, Va. - No. 3 George Mason (11-6-2, 6-4-1 CAA) scored five second-half goals to put away the sixth-seeded Hofstra Pride (6-9-4, 5-3-3 CAA) by a final score of 5-0 in a CAA Championship quarterfinal match on Tuesday evening at George Mason Stadium. The five goals sets a school record for goals scored in a CAA Championship match.
With the win, the Patriots advance to the semifinal round of the CAA Championship. Mason will face the No. 2 seed in the tournament, the William and Mary Tribe, on Friday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of top-seeded UNC Wilmington in Wilmington, N.C. In the day's other semifinal, the Seahawks will take on No. 5 Northeastern at 5 p.m. Northeastern advanced to the semifinal round after winning a penalty kick shootout against No. 4 Old Dominion on Tuesday evening in Norfolk, Va. After playing 110 minutes of scoreless soccer, the Huskies knocked down five penalty kicks to the Monarchs' four to advance to the next round.
Neither George Mason nor Hofstra scored in a first half that featured 11 shots and four corner kicks between the two sides. After nearly 10 minutes ticked off the clock in the second half, the Patriots broke the scoring drought when senior forward Lucas Pardew floated a well-placed ball over the Hofstra defense from about 20 yards out. The ball curved inside the upper-left corner of the net for Pardew's fourth goal of the season to give Mason a 1-0 lead. Senior Jonathan Borrajo was credited with an assist on the goal.
A little less than 10 minutes after Pardew's score, two-time CAA Player of the Week Kwame Adjeman-Pamboe added to the Patriots' lead, streaking up the field and beating Hofstra freshman goalkeeper Greg Cumpstone with a header in the box for his team-leading sixth goal of the season to give Mason a two-goal advantage. Sophomore Irvin Martinez and senior Hugh Fike both earned assists on the score.
After Adjeman-Pamboe's goal, Mason tacked on another in the 72nd minute when freshman midfielder Ryan Gracia scored his fifth goal of the season after receiving a pass from Adjeman-Pamboe in the open field to put Mason up 3-0. The assist was Adjeman-Pamboe's team-leading sixth of the year.
In the 82nd minute, the Patriots added to their already commanding lead after sophomore midfielder Anthony Han took a pass from sophomore forward Parker Walton and knocked the ball past a diving Cumpstone and into the left side of the net to give Mason a 4-0 advantage. Walton closed the scoring spurt with a goal in the 85th minute, his fourth of the season. The five goals for Mason were scored in a span of 30:10 in the second half.
While the offense clicked in the victory with a season-high five goals scored, George Mason's defense also excelled in the match, holding its opponent scoreless for the fourth time in the past five contests. Junior goalkeeper Sean Kelley posted his eighth shutout of the season with six saves in 90 minutes of action.
Tonight's match was the first appearance in the CAA Championship for both teams since the two sides met for the conference title during the 2006 season. That match ended in a 1-1 double-overtime tie. The Patriots finished as the conference runner-up that season after the Pride won the penalty kick shootout 3-2.

Experience Design
The process of creating great experiences TM
Experience Design
The process of creating great experiences TM
This is part two in a series on learning how to become an experience designer. In part one, I noted that a great designer blends both design and business skills. I provided a list of key business topics and recommended some of the better books available to learn those skills. In this part, I will cover the essential design skills needed for a great experience designer.
So what does it take to become an experience designer? I believe that a designer should be able to:
•Identify the customer and their needs
•Identify the touch points and devices needed to support the activity
•Ability to define and design the touches
•Be an expert on at least one type of interaction
•Ability to communicate your design to others
•Identify what makes the experience unique and better
•Identify ways to improve it
•Ability to work collaboratively
•Understand business
Understanding Design
Design is a skill that is learned with practice. Reading and classroom knowledge is helpful. But, you need to start creating designs and getting feedback on where they work and where they could be better. Working as part of a development team, over time, you can start to anticipate what will work well for the people who will use the product. It is also helpful to learn what can be developed given technical constraints of the devices that will provide the touchpoints and the tools used to create them.
Here are some recommendations for learning some of the key design skills.
Identify the Customer and Their Needs. There are many ways to create requirements. For a good experience, many of the requirements should be generated by observing and interacting with the people who will likely buy or use what you are creating. Some of the best books on this topic are:
•User and Task Analysis by Hackos and Redish
•Contextual Design by Beyer and Holtzblatt
•The Persona Lifecycle by Pruitt and Adlin
Identify the Touchpoints and Devices Needed to Support the Activity. An experience can be large or small. It can span over multiple devices. It is important to understand the end to end experience and create an environment that supports people through their activity. Sketches are helpful at this stage of the design. Here are two great resources for learning more:
•Designing for Interaction by Dan Saffer
•Sketching User Experiences by Bill Buxton
Ability to Define and Design the Touchpoints - be an Expert on at Least One Type of Interaction. There are many types of devices and interactions that make up a complete experience. Depending on the complexity, it may not be possible for one designer to design it all. But, as a designer, you must become an expert on at least one type of design. This can range from Windows or Macintosh applications, web sites, web applications, mobile devices such as Android or iPhone, voice response systems, documentation, training, point of purchase, and others. Rather than provide a complete list of resources, I will just recommend picking one or two of these and seeking out the experts in that area to learn from. Attend the relevant conferences. Learn to prototype for that type of interaction.
Define and Design the Touches. Using what you know about the device or touchpoint, create prototypes that can be tested. Prototypes can be done on paper or online and range in fidelity from sketches to very realistic. You may want to start out using very rough sketch style prototypes to work out the major ideas. As the project progresses, you can more to more detailed prototypes. The type of feedback you will get will be much different - if you start with high fidelity prototypes, people may only focus on the colors rather than the flow of the activity. A couple of good resources on prototyping are:
•Paper Prototyping by Carolyn Snyder
•Effective Prototyping by Jonathan Arnowitz
Ability to Communicate Your Design to Others. This is a key design skill. You will be frequently communicating designs to many people on the project team. Sometimes that means drawing at a white board. Sometimes it means creating design specifications. Today, it often means working with others via online meeting tools. One of the best skills for a designer is being able to tell the story of what the intended experience will be like. Here are a few suggestions to get started:
•Storytelling for User Experience by Quesenbury and Brooks
•Communicating Design by Dan Brown
•Slide:ology by Nancy Duarte
•Back of the Napkin by Dan Roam
Identify What Makes This Experience Unique and Better. To be competitive, you need to create things that are better that what people can find elsewhere. A circus is just a circus, right? By identifying and finding key differentiators, you can design something different from the competition. One sign of a maturing industry is that the bulleted feature list becomes less important in differentiating products. Instead people seek out the product that has identified the key things that are important to them. One great resource to learn more is:
•Blue Ocean Strategy by Kim and Mauborgne
Identify Opportunities to Improve the Experience. A key part of experience design is continuous improvement. Products are usability tested. Information is gathered from current customers. At every opportunity, the interactions are improved. A few good resources to learn about improving products are:
•Handbook of Usability Testing by Jeffrey Rubin
•Remote Research by Nate Bolt
•Web Analytics 2.0 by Avinash Kaushik
Work Collaboratively. Great designs are usually the work of a great team. Sometimes a lone person can design and build something great. One of the best examples of teamwork is improvisational comedy. I have written about experience design and improvisation and so have others like Traci Lepore. One of the better books on improvisation is:
•Truth in Comedy: The Manual of Improvisation by Charna Halpern
More to Come. The thing about experience design is that some basic concepts stay the same. There are some principals of designing for humans that work regardless of the device. Some design and research techniques have worked well for many years. However, as we learn and grow as a field, there are always new areas to develop. A few areas that aren't new but that are definitely worth an updated look include design for social and community interactions, design for search, and including content as part of the design strategy.
Hopefully this list is a helpful overview of the skills needed by an experience designer.
Did I miss a skill? Is there a resource you would recommend? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment.

Toyota chalks up record profit, vehicle sales
By The Associated Press
TOKYO (AP) -- Toyota chalked up a record annual profit and sales above 10 million vehicles for the first time, but forecast Thursday a slower year ahead as the momentum from a weak yen fades.
Expenses such as the $1.2 billion penalty it paid in a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department earlier this year for hiding information about defects in its cars dented its profit for January-March quarter, according to Toyota.
Toyota Motor Corp., the world's top automaker, is forecasting a 1.78 trillion yen ($17.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year through March 2015.
That's lower than what the company recorded for the fiscal year just ended, when its profit almost doubled to a record 1.82 trillion yen ($17.9 billion) from 962 billion yen the previous year.
Annual sales jumped 16 percent to 25.69 trillion yen ($252 billion), helped by a weak yen which aids Japanese exporters and thanks to growth in the U.S., Europe, Japan and the rest of Asia. The yen perk is likely transitory as the currency isn't expected to weaken indefinitely.
Toyota believes Japan sales were inflated in recent months as consumers rushed to buy ahead of a tax increase that kicked in April 1, so that such growth won't hold up during the current fiscal year.
Still, the company is on a roll.
The maker of the Prius hybrid, Lexus luxury model and Camry sedan became the first automaker to sell more than 10 million vehicles in a 12 month period, with sales totaling 10.13 million vehicles around the world for the fiscal year ended March. It also expects to surpass the 10-million milestone for the current calendar year.
It is expecting solid growth to continue, hoping to sell 10.25 million vehicles globally for the fiscal year through March 2015.
Highlighting the Japanese automaker's ambitions, it noted that extra costs including research and development expenses were a factor in reducing its January-March profit to 297 billion yen ($2.9 billion) from 313.9 billion yen a year earlier.
Quarterly sales rose 12.5 percent to 6.57 trillion yen ($64.5 billion).
It also said costs related to closing its auto plant in Australia cut into profits.
Toyota has bounced back from a massive recall crisis that began in late 2009, which tarnished its reputation.
But there was a moment of deja vu last month when it announced a recall of 6.4 million vehicles globally, for a variety of problems spanning nearly 30 models in Japan, North America, Europe and other places. Some vehicles were recalled for more than one problem.
Toyota has been trying to put the recall mess behind it, with the $1.2 billion settlement it reached with the U.S. Justice Department. It earlier paid fines of more than $66 million for delays in reporting unintended acceleration problems.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration never found defects in electronics or software in Toyota cars, which had been targeted as a possible cause.
Even more of a threat than recalls could be the fierce competition Toyota faces in key global markets from Volkswagen AG of Germany and Hyundai of South Korea, as well as U.S. automakers such as General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co.
Toyota sold fewer vehicles in North American for January-March at 567,000 vehicles compared to the same period the previous year at 603,000 vehicles.
But it is making up for such losses in other markets.
Honda sold nearly 1.2 million vehicles worldwide during the quarter, also helped by demand ahead of the Japanese tax rise. It is forecasting a 4 percent rise in annual profit to 595 billion yen ($5.8 billion).
Although the dollar soared to about 100 yen during the past fiscal year from about 80 yen the fiscal year before that, it's unlikely to keep rising at that pace, to 120 yen, for instance.
Nissan Motor Co., allied with Renault SA of France, releases results Monday.

Social Media
Brands Snapping onto Snapchat
Yup, along with politicians, brands are finding their way onto Snapchat. Campaigns intended for a targeted millennial audience are gaining traction on this emerging social media platform. Snapchat is a mobile app which you can then use to "chat" with friends through photos, videos and captions. It's like texting with pictures or videos.
Social Media Identity Guide
Are your social media efforts sporadic, misguided and not responded to? A social media identity guide can help. We've developed social media identity guides for our clients and we find it helpful to work these ideas through to make sure you social media efforts are efficient and effective. Here are the elements we include in the social media identity guide.
Social Media Engagement: 4 Quick Tips
Social Media Engagement is important as evidenced by the number of times we have talked about it in our blog posts here, here, and here. The important thing about social media engagement is coming across as being authentic. Authentic is a big thing now to everyone; no one wants to feel like you are using them in any way. It is very important for your consumers no to feel this way about your brand. This post will be a guide in how to achieve this authenticity through social media engagement.
Social Media Archetypes
Blackbaud wrote a blog and shared an infographic outlining social media archetypes. Social media archetypes are typically the different types of consumer personalities and how each of them engage with social media.
Key Performance Indicators in Social Media
In social media advertising, key performance indicators is a measurement of the campaigns performance to judge social media campaign success or failure. As a digital agency on record it's our job to identify social media measurement indicators, measure them, and show results to the client. We select indicators to follow based on the goals of the campaign. This post concentrates on the use of "influence" in understanding key performance indicators of social media efforts. If you're interested in sentiment you can read more from a previous post. Moreover, as a continuation of the last blog post, which was about Content Marketing we will show you how to better analyze content marketing using influence performance indicators hopefully giving you a better understanding on your social media shortfalls and/or opportunities.
Content Marketing
Content marketing means creating and sharing valuable content to engage consumers. The combination of content marketing and social media is a powerful tool when used together. Content Marketing provides the kind of stuff consumers actually want in the form of blog posts, infographics, YouTube videos etc. This article will be focusing on blog posts and the use of infographics in content marketing.
Social Media ROI and Metrics
Most businesses and organizations understand just how valuable social media is to their brands but the question is are you getting exactly your money and time's worth? This article emphasizes the use of metrics in social media ROI (Return on Investment) which enables brands to measure the return on investment in relation to social media. Just how much time should you spend using your social media platforms and how much do you gain from doing so?

Branding Communities: A Consumer's Perspective
Today's topic is a response to last week's topic which was the "Facebook Fan Value and the Brands That Need Them" . When analyzing branding communities we hear a lot of analysis focusing on the brand. This post examines the consumer's motivations to follow brands on different social media platforms and their expectations when they join these branding communities.
Facebook Fan Value and The Brands That Need Them
Mashable shared results to a survey conducted by Syncapse, a social media marketing firm which highlighted the Facebook Fan Value. Their survey concluded that the value of having a fan on Facebook averaged $174. A fan has more value if they have a higher average purchase price. In addition, Facebook fans that interacted with social media were more likely to actually buy items from the brands. With this increased use of social media, these fans were also likely to share good experiences on their active social media platforms.
Social Care and Social Listening: Best Practices, not Buzzwords
You already know that social media has become a major piece, or sometimes the only piece, of most businesses' marketing strategy – if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this! However, as social media continues to grow and change, making Facebook ads and directing customers to landing pages are not the only things on social media strategists' minds anymore (or, at least, they shouldn't be!). We've noted before that social media pages are communities, and those communities need to be nurtured in order for them to grow. Two new ways that you should be thinking about social media strategy are in terms of social care and social listening.

Awesome app - keep improving it! :) :)
The functionality is great, but why it's so slow drag a big map? :( (it's a map with text only, that drags fast on FreeMind)
I started with freemind, and have been using freeplane for years. I use it every day at work. I use it to write code, and especially debug. It's fantastic. Only problem is: I have 3 boxes that run windows 7, and it works on 2 of them, but, my last install of the 3rd box hasn't worked for well over a year and I can't figure out how to get it to work. I found some options to set and scripts to run that got it to launch, but, I can't save anything. The other boxes are great. I wish I had some way to figure this out.
It is a very good tool to do mind maps, especially maths mind maps, because of you can use latex. I think it could be improve in some aspects, like having a latex dictionary, and export option, but it is the best program of its class.
Very nice tool I use to investigate new domains or use as a document/link organisation tool. However I tried to install the latest Mac OS X release (1.3.11) and failed with a corrupted package error with both .dmg and .zip files & multiple tries.

If MINI USA Brings a Diesel, Would you Consider it?
Sections: Diesel, MF Poll Jan 3rd, 2013 59 Comments
As we reported almost a year ago, several of our sources have indicated that MINI USA is currently planning to bring at least one diesel model to the US. We believe this model incorporate the "SD" version of the BMW Group 2.0L diesel engine that produces 143hp and a healthy 225 lf-ft of torque in EU spec. What does that translate into? In the current R56 hatch it means 8.1 seconds 0-60 and efficiency anywhere from 57-65 mpg on the Euro cycle. That translates into something likely close to 50 mpg on the highway for the R56 and, likely 5-7 mpg less for the Countryman. All told pretty astounding efficiency with very respectable performance.
But if it comes, it will at a price. We'd expect the premium over the standard Cooper S to be anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 – at least. And we also expect it to be available on the Countryman and Paceman exclusively with the 3 cylinder petrol powered F56 Cooper returning similar efficiency figures.
So with those numbers in mind, is a diesel MINI something you'd consider if you're in the US? Would you pay for more efficiency with added torque?

Happy Wednesday,
November 10, 2010 Trish In the Kitchen 21
Happy Wednesday,
very helpful! I think one reason I avoid peppers is hating to cut them and deal with the seeds!
*Melody – Cant remember where I saw this but I was amazed I hadn't thought of it before! So easy.
*Bermuda – Yup!
*Kristi – I hate trying to deseed a pepper as well–those suckers seem to stick everywhere!
*Jill – this is much easier–don't have to try and wash out the seeds…yuck!
*Debi – Dammit! You caught me. Yes, would not work for stuffed peppers. Which I do cook quite a bit. So I guess I WILL gut peppers again in my life. LOL!
*Michelle – think maybe I saw this on the cooking channel?? And please move to Dallas. Please???
*Vasilly – This year has gone entirely wayyyyy too fast. It's frightening really. Christmas already? But then it will be 2011!!
*CJ – It's hard to describe, but basically take your knife at the top of the pepper and cut in enough that you'll remove the flesh from the "ribs" as Kristi above calls them. I usually get more off the bottom–or you can just cut off the bottom and use, but I needed the core to "stand" for the picture. So much better than cutting into the top and then ripping out the insides. But…still have to do if you like your peppers stuffed.
*Lisa – Isn't this so much easier? And you don't do stuffed peppers? I saw a recipe yesterday for stuffed peppers without the stuffed part–so just cut up peppers with the stuffing–and it looked delicious! Stuffed peppers is one of those quick "go-to" meals.
Hi! I'm Trish--a thirty-something trying to balance all the "have tos" and "want tos" of life while realizing insanity isn't always a bad thing.

Sheets shows no rust in debut for Braves
By The Associated Press
Atlanta Braves pitcher Ben Sheets (30) gives a thumbs up to cheering fans after defeating the New York Mets 6-1 to complete the sweep in Atlanta on Sunday, July 15, 2012. It was Sheets first game with the Braves and his first major league start since July 2010. / photo: Associated Press
ATLANTA -- Ben Sheets loved being back in the majors so much that he broke normal custom for starting pitchers and watched the last three innings from Atlanta's hot dugout instead of the clubhouse.
"I like to do that and I've had very good feedback on it," he said. "You work so hard to get a victory. I ain't going to leave them out there. They're battling for me."
Sheets pitched six scoreless innings in his first game in two years and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 6-1 on Sunday for their season-high seventh straight victory.
Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer in a six-run fifth inning, and Sheets (1-0) allowed two hits and one walk with five strikeouts in his first start since July 19, 2010.
"I didn't know what to expect," Freeman said of his new teammate. "It didn't look like he took two years off."
The Mets have lost four straight and seven of 10. Atlanta improved to a season-high 10 games over .500.
Johan Santana (6-6) gave up eight hits, six runs, two walks and struck out three in five innings.
The Braves had placed just two runners in scoring position before Matt Diaz, who began the game with a .514 in 35 career at-bats against Santana, doubled to lead off the fifth.
After Paul Janish walked on a slider that appeared to cross the outside part of the plate for a strikeout, Michael Bourn hit a one-out, opposite-field RBI double down the line in left to score Diaz from second and make it 1-0.
Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen was ejected during a mound visit following Bourn's hit. When plate umpire C.B. Bucknor reached the mound, Warthen began arguing with him, apparently because Bucknor called Santana's fastball outside on the pitch that preceded Bourn's double.
"The Janish pitch - that was a strike," New York catcher Josh Thole said. "I'm certain. And then the backdoor sinker to Bourn - it was an outstanding pitch, and you ball that. Again, it changed the course of the game."
New York manager Terry Collins, who was ejected the day before, came on the field and spoke with crew chief Dale Scott near the third-base line, but walked back to dugout without further argument.
Martin Prado followed with a sacrifice fly RBI to score Janish, and Bourn crossed the plate from third on Jason Heyward's RBI single. After Chipper Jones singled, Freeman hit his 12th homer to give the Braves a 6-0 lead.
Ramon Ramirez and Miguel Batista pitched the last three innings for New York.
Kris Medlen replaced Sheets and gave up Andres Torres' RBI single to make it 6-1 in the seventh. Eric O'Flaherty got the third out of the eighth, and Anthony Varvaro pitched a scoreless ninth for Atlanta.
Sheets, unsigned after he missed all of 2011 following elbow ligament replacement surgery, escaped a jam in the third with runners on second and third when David Wright flew out to deep right.
Sheets threw 88 pitches, 57 for strikes. In his previous start two years ago, he lost 2-1 to Boston while pitching for Oakland.
Making his 242nd career start, Sheets improved to 91-92 and lowered his ERA to 3.77. Against the Mets, Sheets improved to 5-2 with a 4.05 ERA. The Braves purchased the former Milwaukee ace's contract from Double-A Mississippi before the game.
Santana hadn't pitched since twisting his right ankle while covering first base in an 8-7 loss to the Chicago Cubs on July 6.
Since throwing the Mets' first no-hitter on June 1 against St. Louis, Santana dropped to 3-4 with a 5.45 ERA in his last seven starts. He has given up 11 homers over that span.
Santana, who hasn't gotten a win against the Braves since Sept. 2, 2010, had the shortest start of his career, 1 1-3 innings, in a 9-3 loss at Turner Field on April 17.
"We felt that we threw good pitches and didn't get the call," he said. "It's tough when you have a game like this and one pitch could be the difference in the game. I didn't question anything, and it's too bad that a couple of pitches changed the whole ballgame."
-- NOTES: Santana threw 95 pitches, 56 for strikes. It was the third time in seven starts that he has allowed at least six runs. ...

Almost two dozen scientists from numerous institutions conducted the new research.

Shaka sign
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2007)
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture often associated with Hawaii and surf culture. It consists of extending the thumb and smallest finger while holding the three middle fingers curled, and gesturing in salutation while presenting the front or back of the hand; the hand may be rotated back and forth for emphasis. The shaka sign was adopted from local Hawaiian culture by visiting surfers in the 1960s, and its use has spread around the world.
Meaning and use[edit]
Hawaiians use the shaka to convey the "Aloha Spirit", a concept of friendship, understanding, compassion, and solidarity among the various ethnic cultures that reside within Hawaii, lacking a direct semantic to literal translation. The shaka can also be used to express "howzit?", "thanks, eh?", and "all right!" Drivers will often use it on the road to communicate distant greetings and gratitude.
In American Sign Language, the shaka is one of the two signs used to refer to surfing.[citation needed] In California, the shaka sign may be referred to as "hang loose" or "hang ten"- both associated with surfer culture.
A symbolic interpretation of this kind and peaceful gesture can draw on the fluid dynamics of surfing in which the shape of the hand shows the use of strength of wave to move harmoniously from peak to valley to lofting exit. This is represented by the uplifted pinky as point of departure to the power slope, the three folded middle fingers as the power of the wave in its rolling face, and the return to a lower peak and lofting exit for turning on the ramp of thumb. This gesture in this way could also be used to represent the Taoist concept of wu wei, or effortless effort of going with the flow.
The gesture enjoys common use in American hang gliding culture, for both sentiment and word play, in part due to the simultaneous rise of surfing and hang gliding in California in the 1960s and 70s. It is also widely used among skydivers.
Along coastal Brazil, the shaka sign, known as the "hang loose", is a common gesture; it is also associated with the Brazilian jiu jitsu community internationally.[1]
There are three textese glyphs for the shaka sign - \.../, \, / and \m/ - the first known use of the first two is in c. 2006. The third version, with a lower case 'm' bearing more resemblance to a hand's three middle fingers, c. 2009. [2]
Similar gestures[edit]
The sign can also be used to gesticulate the imbibing of a bottled drink, as attested to below, by placing the thumb to the mouth and motioning the little finger upward as if tipping up a bottle's bottom end.
With the thumb held near the ear and the little finger pointed at the mouth, the gesture is commonly understood to mean "call me", as it resembles a hand held telephone.
With the fingers facing forward, the same gesture is the letter Y in the American manual alphabet. See also ILY sign.
In the Caribbean, particularly the Lesser Antilles Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, it may be used to suggest a sexual exchange; for such, the thumb points to the gesturer and the little finger toward the subject of the proposition as the hand is moved forward and back.[citation needed]
In China, this gesture means "6".
In Russia, this gesture with vertically oriented thumb and horizontally oriented little finger as if holding a beer mug is understood as an invitation to have a drink.
In Australia and New Zealand, raising the thumb to the mouth while pointing the pinky to the air is seen as invitation for one to smoke weed, the posture resembling the use of a pipe.
In the Southeastern region of the United States, fans of the South Carolina Gamecocks raise the gesture as a reference to the spur of a gamecock.
According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin,[3] prevailing local lore credited the gesture to Hamana Kalili of Laie, who lost the three middle fingers of his right hand while working at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Kalili was then shifted to guarding the sugar train, and his all-clear wave of thumb and pinkie is said to have evolved into the shaka as children imitated the gesture.[4]
Another theory relates the origin of the shaka to the Spanish immigrants, who folded their middle fingers and took their thumbs to their lips as a friendly gesture to represent sharing a drink with the natives they met in Hawaii.[5]
Yet another theory relates the origin to visiting Whalers who signaled a catch with a "tails up" Shaka.

Last month we reported that the iPhone 5 might come with HzO coating which would make the device waterproof. Now we're hearing that the iPhone 5 won't be coming with the HzO coating after all–rather, according to a source that has proven to be reliable in the past, the iPhone 5 will ship with Liquipel waterproof coating pre-applied.
What's more, the iPhone 5 reportedly won't be the only nor the first device to come with pre-applied Liquipel as it's rumored by the same source that the Samsung Galaxy S III will also come with the coating. The Galaxy S III should hit stores before the iPhone 5, with a spring 2012 release planned for the Samsung phone.
Changes in Insurance Wording Indicate Waterproof iPhone 5
The source, an unnamed person involved in U.K. retail, told Today's iPhone that "both (the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5) will have had Liquipel treatment as they'll be altering the wording on insurance." The change in wording is necessary, as current phone insurance plans generally do not cover water damage; however, if the phone is considered to be a water-proof device, this would mean that, in theory, any water damage to the water-proof phone would be considered a defect with the phone itself. This would mean that water damage to a water-proof phone like the iPhone 5 would be covered by insurance.
According to the source, the fact that they're altering the wording on the insurance is what indicates that the iPhone 5 will come with waterproof technology. The only question is, what waterproof technology will be used? Currently, all signs point toward Liquipel, who have made no secret of the fact that they would like to work with phone manufacturers to have their product pre-installed on devices.
How Liquipel Coating Waterproofs the iPhone (and other devices)
Liquipel made their debut at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and is said to have impressed manufacturers with their waterproofing technology. According to Liquipel's website, the waterproof coating is not visible to the human eye (it is see-through) and doesn't make any device it is applied to any heavier.
When applied to a device like the iPhone, the coating is said to completely block water from seeping into the iPhone 5 and destroying any of the delicate hardware within the device. This means that consumers who accidentally drop their iPhone 5 in something as small as a puddle of water or as large as a toilet won't have to worry about the device ceasing to function afterwards. Instead, the Liquipel technology will keep the iPhone 5 working despite the water that surrounds it.
Liquipel currently applies the coating to the iPhone 4S–as well as a variety of other phones–at a cost of $59. To have the coating applied to the phone means shipping the device to Liquipel and waiting for them to apply the coating and ship the device back to you. Obviously, it would be much more convenient–and probably cheaper–if the technology was applied during the manufacturing process.
What Do You Think?
Do you think a waterproof iPhone 5 is in the works or is this just another rumor that won't actually become a reality? How useful would you find a waterproof iPhone 5 to be? Leave a comment and give us your opinion on the potentional waterproof iPhone 5.

Review sites that claim to have unbiased guitar lesson reviews are a dime a dozen. And, just because they look cool and say a lot of stuff people want to hear, how do you know you can trust the site and reviews? Is the reviewer qualified, or making stuff up to sell products?
I don't just review, I study each course in depth. I have a college music education and am a guitar student in general. So I know exactly what it takes to be a good effective teacher. Leading you to the best beginner guitar lessons online, available at an affordable price. Beginner meaning any age. Adults, teenagers, kids and children. Each age group has different needs as a beginner. An adult does not want to be treated like a child.
If you are serious about how to play guitar for beginners, then each affiliate has a program or course to suit your personal needs. From learning style, to exactly what you want to learn. Maybe some easy guitar songs, or some easy chords for small hands. Reading honest reviews relieves the worry's of wasting money or time. We buy the courses with our own money.
The other misnomer is that you can't get the type of personal instruction online that you may get in private settings. That is totally false. With the quality of teachers and online technology, nothing could be further than the truth. In fact, one of my music courses at the college is an online class.
There is no need to wait. You waited to long. Forget driving to the teacher. Forget the hassle, forget the time wasted, and remember, you can review or retake your online lesson as many times as you want to. Not wait a week to see your teacher again.
Needless to say then, that to trust the reviewer is of utmost importance. The truth is that you absolutely need to read each understandable yet detailed guitar lesson review in order to make a decision. An educated consumer makes the best decisions. Read the blog, you will be impressed with what it has to say.
