March Madness Cocktail Recipe
By Marcus Samuelsson | March 4, 2011
When the first green shoots of spring break through frozen soil, I like to break out a crate of strawberries and a bottle of mezcal for a refreshing cocktail. Tequila's bad boy cousin mezcal brings a smoky, savory element to this drink that works well with tart, fruity strawberries. Sip it while filling out March Madness brackets or starting a new gardening project.

Use Social Media for Customer Service
We've all seen stories about rogue customer service teams using social media to help customers, but here's a great way to institutionalize it. At the end of the article, you'll find a reminder and links about why great customer service improves both sales and profits.
Using Social Media Opt-Ins for Customer Service
Imagine if at the end of a purchase or conversion, the customer gets this check-box:
"Follow us on <social media> for live support."
Then at the customer service center, your team filters for terms associated with their business — INCLUDING services and products the customer may not know about!
Using Social Media for Customer Service and Opportunistic Selling
So let's say I just bought an iPhone on Apple.com. I check the box. Whenever I tweet or put something in my status update about "iPhone" or "app," customer service reps at Apple look. If Apple can help, they do.
Now imagine if Apple adds terms like "blue screen of death" or "Windows crash." Now Apple sends me a direct tweet that says, "We feel your pain. Get 10% off a Mac and we'll transfer all your Windows files free in the store."
Crazy, huh?
Nimble companies are already using social media in customer service this way.
Exuberant Customers Buy More, Spend More, Recommend More
By having people opt-in to different social media networks, you're providing pro-active customer service, rather than reactive customer service.
And here's the reminder about why it matters. Surprising customers with service provides a "wow moment" of customer service. And "wow moments" are important because customer exuberance demonstrably increases customer retention and repeat purchases. How could your company use social media to improve customer service?
One Comment on Use Social Media for Customer Service
Great read Thom. Thanks for the link back to the OEN community site!

Saw them at Charity gig at Picturedrome in Northampton approx 3 years ago. "Paul Heaton" was amazing accurate (and looked like him too - which helped the vision), his accuracy may explain why the girl got less of female lead songs. Song selection was brilliant though and got crowd rocking… (cont'd) Phil A from Northampton

The Country House at Hunter's
Warm, Welcoming Hospitality Along the Garden Route in South Africa
Fragrant and colorful, the property's luxurious gardens create an idyllic setting for this opulent retreat in the heart of the Garden Route. The Country House combines gracious elegance with sheer comfort and impeccable service with warm hospitality. Far from the crowd, yet conveniently close to a wide variety of leisure activities. Probably one of the first things that guests notice about the Country House is the sense of "home". It starts at the beginning of the driveway with enticing views into secret gardens abundant with butterflies and fragranced air. Then the team and the house itself seem to embody a feeling of family and belonging - of coming home. The individual thatched cottage suites are plush and calming, decorated in a pale green and oyster palette accented with a romantic sparkle of crystal-trimmed canopies and dainty chandeliers. A privately positioned patio and garden makes for tranquil relaxation, reflection and reconnection. Secluded within the gardens are 18 luxurious suites, individually designed and decorated. All have private patios and gardens, certain suites have their own plunge pools while all guests can enjoy the hotel's large sparkling outdoor pool. The Country House welcomes and caters for children of all ages. The new two-bedroom family suites provide spacious accommodation where the whole family can truly relax in their 'private home' and the Summer House is the perfect venue for informal family meals, or where younger guests can enjoy delicious wholesome food while parents savor several courses at the elegantly appointed Zinzi Restaurant. Cubs' Corner, where younger children are minded by trained staff, is a dedicated children's recreation area with a paddling pool, jungle gym, shaded sandpit, video / TV / games room and dining room. An entertainment area geared to older children is envisaged for the near future. Activities on the estate and close by include forest walks, family fun and activities for all including a Boules court, a swimming pool and general relaxation in verdant gardens. Day trips for animal viewing, horseback riding, ocean adventures and various activities can be arranged at an extra cost.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Borgo Grondaie Hotel
A little slice of paradise!from redbellies
Having the grocery store there (and what a place that is!) was exceptional for us. We loved eating simple for a few days. We rented a car and drove to the coast (Castiglione, very nice), and spent time driving through the wine/olive region of the Tuscan Hills. You can easily get a bus or cab into Town, a bit of a walk, but if you like hiking, you can do it.
Siena is such a wonderful place to us. The Borgo Grandaie was super! The furnishings are special, the linens great, bathrooms spotless, kitchen was well equipped, staff were very kind and helpful at any time. We welcomed the chance to do our laundry and loved the dryer racks, it felt like we were natives, hanging our wash out!!!
Don't miss this great place! A top notch accomodation, truly! 5 Stars!
Wonderfulfrom brainman
Enjoyed this short stop-overfrom A TripAdvisor Member
LOCATION: We had a rental car, and so found it easy to get to Siena. Parking around Siena was not too difficult. Please ask the hotel for exact directions as we had difficulty finding small or non-existent street-signs in the dark. After crossing the railway bridge, there is a small roundabout in front of you. Take a hard right, the Co-op (large store which looks like a warehouse) will now be on your left. Follow the little road around the Co-op, keeping the shop on your left, and continue up the hill. The Borgo Grondaie is at the very end of the road. You will find the parking in front of the property to your right.
PROPERTY: Fresh looking, modern Tuscan styled 'villas' set in a small hillside, overlooking Siena and the railway track. Rooms are of moderate size. TV, mini-bar, wardrobe, phone, desk/chair. Bathroom is very nice and clean. Buffet breakfast, which is plentiful and of good quality, is served either indoors or out on the terrace. Parking is provided.
STAFF: Very nice, polite, and willing to help. Speak English very well and happy to help those learning Italian.
Unfortunately ours was a short visit to Siena, however we would consider returning here again... now that we know how to find the place.

't Have Been Better!!from A TripAdvisor Member
Don't miss the wine cellar.. and order a snack of salami, cheese, tomatoes…..mmmmm. Truly magnificent!
This hotel is easy to find once you find the train station! One problem we had was identifying the appropriate sign pointing the way. The symbol for the station is a 3D image of a modern train coming towards you. The signs aren't large and this symbol just didn't click for us. Once we figured it out we were able to locate the hotel very easily
Borgo Grondai is great!from A TripAdvisor Member
Loved it!from jojoMelbourne
As mentioned, the pool was bliss. In addition, the breakfast was fantastic - the best I have had in Italy.
I did not have a car, but with the buses (less than 1 Euro each way), taxis (about 6 Euro), and even lifts into town from other hotel guests, it was not a problem. Being a little out of town was a welcome relief from all the noise at some of my more centrally located accommodation along the way.
Highly, highly recommended.
Wonderful place to stay with kidsfrom NatBP
Roberto makes a delicious wine tasting with light meal at the hotel Enoteca.... highly recommended!

Top Local Tips for Siena
Remember Sundays... many shops are closed on Sundays, I had read this but forgotten...
Buses and Taxis in Siena If you stay outside of Siena instead of in the city proper, you'll need to somehow get into the city. Don't drive, you'll have to park outside and pay a lot for the privilege. If your hotel is inside the city, maybe you can drive in but be warned the streets are extremely narrow and packed with people. Siena is a very old city, not conducive to driving, so take a bus or taxi. The bus system is excellent, and inexpensive. Properties encourage this by providing bus tickets for purchase at cost, which if I recall correctly was 80 Eurocents. A taxi is appropriate if you've got several people, luggage, or can't wait for a bus. Taxis are allowed to go into the city proper too which Joe Tourist cannot, or should not, do. Buses stop at strategic points around the city but do not penetrate every street.
Siena Market Day THere is a huge outdoor market on Wednesdays (?? Double check the date) that is blocks long. Great place to get inexpensive clothes, housewares, linens. Very local and great buys. Must do if you are there during the week. It is open until 1PM

Additional Information
Government unveils plans for product placement on TV
LONDON - The government has detailed its plans for introducing television product placement to the UK, which include moves to "warn'"viewers of programmes where it is in use.
Bradshaw: proposals would bring "meaningful commercial benefits"
The announcement follows a consultation launched in November by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), which received about 1,480 responses.
DCMS secretary Ben Bradshaw said: "As a result of this consultation, the government has concluded that we will be able to allow television product placement in a way that will provide meaningful commercial benefits to commercial television companies and programme makers, while taking account of the legitimate concerns that have been expressed."
Bradshaw's statement today (9 February) confirms that alcohol, food which is high in fat, salt or sugar, gambling, smoking accessories, over-the-counter medicines and infant formula and follow-on formula, will not be allowed to run product placement campaigns.
It also reveals that the government will follow the relevant EU directive, which requires that audiences are alerted to the presence of product placement in a programme by "signalling" this at its beginning, at the end, and after advertising breaks.
The genres of "cinematographic works, films and series made for television or on-demand services, sports programmes, and light entertainment programmes" will be allowed to use product placement.
News programmes and bulletins will be exempt, unlike in the US. The same applies to current affairs, consumer and religious programming and any content to be aired on the BBC.
The introduction of product placement will only take effect once Ofcom has run a public consultation on the policy, as it will need to amend its code for regulating the content of TV programmes. The DCMS says this should be completed later this year.
Children's food campaign co-ordinator Jackie Schneider said: 'It is good news that the massive pressure from health, consumer and children's groups has forced Ben Bradshaw to drop plans to allow the product placement of junk food.'

I found this website the other day through one of my favorite blogs, epbot.com. It 's a site that lets you create your own steampunk characters. It took me forever to create this one because I was trying to figure out how everything worked. It would be a great activity for some night when you can't sleep. Here's the link to the site.

RELEASED: Dec. 1, 2009
EAU CLAIRE — Students in a hydrogeology class at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are helping Eau Claire County revise its comprehensive plan for managing groundwater.
"This is important work," Dr. Katherine Grote, the assistant professor of geology who is teaching the class, said of the project. "It needs to be done, yet the county can't afford to hire someone to work on it. The students are doing a lot of leg work that will provide the county with valuable information."
The Eau Claire County Groundwater Advisory Committee is updating the Groundwater Management Plan, which was written in 1994, said Kirsten Cahow-Scholtes, Eau Claire County land conservation supervisor. However, current information about long-standing and newly identified issues that relate to groundwater management was needed before the committee could finish revising the plan, she said.
The students have been researching 15 groundwater-related issues identified as priorities by the county, Grote said. Some of the students' work involves updating information about issues that already were identified in the 1994 plan, such as gas storage tanks, she said. Other topics relate to issues that have surfaced in the 15 years since the plan was created, such as concerns about pharmaceuticals in groundwater, she said.
Students will share their findings with county representatives during class presentations Dec. 9. The presentations will run from 11 a.m.-2p.m. in Room 248 of Phillips Science Hall.
The students also will provide written reports that the county can incorporate into its groundwater management plan, Grote said. The reports will include links to regulations and other information that will help make the plan a useful online resource, she said, noting that the plan currently is available only in a paper format.
"Getting the information on the Web will allow more people to access the plan and use the information that is in it," Grote said. "It will be an important resource for many people."
When she gave students information about the topics she wanted researched, she also provided names of professionals at various agencies whom they could contact for information about the identified topics, Cahow-Scholtes said.
"The research we asked students to do involves traditional Web and literature reviews but also includes contacting the different management entities, such as the DNR or the health department," Cahow-Scholtes said. "Students are getting a real hands-on experience in conducting interviews with these area agency people. For many students, this will be the first time they have contacted anyone at these agencies so it is very good experience for them."
Almost all of the 20 students in the class are conducting interviews at the various agencies, Grote said. The interviews give them experience working with professionals, but also provides opportunities for students to network with people in a field that interests them, she said.
"The real-life experiences are very valuable for students," Grote said. "They'll get a feel for how groundwater protection is implemented, and they'll have a good understanding of regulations and standards in the field. They'll also make contacts that may be important to them down the road."
The project has provided her with an opportunity to become familiar with local groundwater issues and to develop an understanding of how those issues have changed in recent years, said Taylor Crist, a senior geology major from Eau Claire. Crist is verifying and updating the state regulations within the Eau Claire County Management Controls section of the Groundwater Management Plan.
"This project is challenging and rewarding," said Crist. "I have never been introduced to much environmental law, and by researching several groundwater regulations my understanding of how the county protects groundwater has grown. As a student, I am able to use my judgment on certain aspects of the project, similar to how I expect a future career will be like."
The project is an excellent example of the kinds of community-university partnerships that make UW-Eau Claire such an asset to the region, Cahow-Scholtes said.
"This partnership is beneficial for the county and university for so many reasons," she said. "It's a great example of how willing the students and faculty are to help the region."

Concept video shows creative and practical uses of Google Glass
Those news about smartphone apps arriving on Glass have dumbed down the expectations and turned the futuristic smart glasses into a pretty dull idea. It does not have to be that way, though. There are plenty of creative fun and practical uses for Glass and company Playgroundinc has summed a lot of them up in a very inspiring concept video for Glass.
Pondering over what it would do with Glass, Playground gives simple and practical ideas - quickly scan items to learn more about them, and stack them up in lists so you can track your spendings in say a food store. Bug Glass could also be a bike computer replacement, a wallet, a calorie counter, an emergency situation helper.
Take a look at the concept video below, what do you think, could you add some more practical uses of Glass and heads up displays in general?

Glass is going to change the way that we do things and is a step in the right direction to a hands free environment with the ability to add multi tasking to our already busy lives. Now if we can just get regular people to be the testers of these?!

I can't wait for the 2014 series of cops.... I bet it there will be on segments captured on Glass.
Seriously the possibilities are endless...LIVE, law enforcement, live military feeds to HQ, remote location repairs such as high altitudes, confined space, secure locations, space stations and satellite repairs, surgeons being instructed how to perform procedures, lawyers instructed in court proceedings from senior counsel oh and of course POV porn. ( sorry I had to add that in as it's probably going to be the most used). and other recreational activities.
Google should start up a spin off VideoBook to take on Facebook.... push aside reading static posts and images, tune into family and friends in real time streaming video. Just like a video black box recorder on your face, a good video of a major incident would carry a fair price from a media organisation

The gaming part would actually be pretty damn awesome, have the game's HUD on your own HUD.

Hands features would be very interesting and desirable since I wouldn't want to use voice all the time. This would include pointing at symbols or at an object to trigger certain responses like a search or adding to a list.

Using an SSH Config File to Ease Connections Between ServersTuesday, 09 June 2009
Fabien Potencier, (founder and lead developer of the Symfony Framework) shares a Quick SSH Tip:
Some time ago, I re-discover a neat trick to simplify the connection by using the .ssh/config file. I don't know why I forgot about it, but as it seems that a lot of people around me do not know about this file either, here is a small post on how it can be used to your advantage.
Most SSH applications (like Terminal or iTerm for Mac OS X) allow you to save connection info, so this might not seem immediately useful compared to that. This differs in that it isn't limited to one specific application. Every app will use the same SSH config file for the same user, so it won't matter which app you're using… you'll still have access to these handy shortcuts. Neat.

Top 5 Mourvedre at the LCBO
Jumilla, Spain
Mourvedre, is a variety of red wine grape from the Mediterranean basin, now grown around the world. It is common in Southern France and in Spain, where it is known as Monastrell. In Portugal and some parts of the New World it is known as Mataró. It produces tannic wines that can be high in alcohol, and is most successful in Rhone-style blends. It has a particular affinity for Grenache, giving it depth and structure. Its taste varies greatly according to area, but often has a wild, gamey or earthy flavour, with soft red fruit flavours. One of its most successful incarnations is in Bandol, on the Mediterranean coast, in France, where it is the main grape in the appellation's red blends.

"Must Love Panic Attacks "

- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Amazon.com full-time (more than 5 years)
Amazon is innovative and moves quickly--you'll have the opportunity to learn a lot in a short amount of time--if you don't burn out first.
After speaking with numerous other ex-Amazonians, I can honestly say I'm not alone when I tell people this company has given me post traumatic stress disorder. When people at Amazon say the teams "run lean," that means they hire one person to do the job of multiple people. Be prepared to be overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to be done and the long hours you'll work (there's a reason they issue you a laptop here--so you can come home from the office and continue working).
Some folks love to work at a constant fever pitch because it motivates them, but it inevitably takes its toll--the company has a ridiculously high turnover rate because of burnout. You might think all of the current employment opportunities at the company are because they're expanding. Not really--they're mostly constantly trying to refill positions where folks have freaked out and left. If you don't have a social life or home life, and want to constantly be on-call, then this may be the place for you. if, however, you want to work for a place that cares a little more about their employees and less about their bottom line, look elsewhere. Yes, the company seems to pay well, and it can be exciting to work there, but you might need to be on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds to do it...
For Pete's sake, hire more people! I know it's like hitting the jackpot when you find a single person who has the skills to do 5 different jobs, but that doesn't mean you should make them do it! Respect that an employee wants to give you their best, and that it's difficult to do when they're completely overwhelmed and no one cares enough to fix the problem.

Chances are that if you are a regular reader of us, you may just be the type of person to have heard of this shameless hookup and casual sex enabling location and Facebook based app called Tinder . In fact, you're probably even seen it. Hell, you may even be on it. Oh, wait. You are on it. That's right. Your Facebook post the other day was "I am having so much sex thanks to Tinder." Yeah, that makes sense now.
Anyway, if you are in the stable of horny animals some fellow single Bostonians out there find themselves in, and you are also damn fine with that (and would be so bold as to say you'd attend a mixer on Valentine's Day just to prove it) get ready. Because indoor fun-house of climbing sexytime, Brooklyn Boulders Somerville, is doing something like what was just described. But there will also be pizza from A4 Pizza Bar, and beer from Narragansett. Here's what happens..
Try to picture it: You walk in. Or, you make little bull horns with your fingers and do that foot-drag-stomp thing before charging in. But that will both affect your entrance as well as not give you time to show your Tinder profile and a pic of you doing something athletic (no, you beating Assassins Creed doesn't count), so you can get in for five bucks. Then, you'll have pizza and beer and the knowledge that you're surrounded by people who like pizza and beer, and climbing things and sex.
All of which can go smashingly together if done properly.

A Senior Microsoft Attorney Looks at Open-Source Licensing
The Open Source movement has yet another fan: Robert W. Gomulkiewicz, a senior corporate attorney for Microsoft Corporation and, not coincidentally, the Business Software Alliance's top gun for the proposed UCITA reforms to commercial software licensing law.
Writing in the Houston Law Review, Gomulkiewicz (1999) argues that open-source licenses typically contain precisely the UCITA provisions that are giving fits to consumer advocates, such as the denial of any legal recourse should a consumer suffer loss, harm, or injury through use of the software. What's more, he argues, the Open Source movement's history and recent success show why the UCITA's protections are needed. When somebody like Gomulkiewicz expresses admiration for what you're doing, it's time to stop for some serious reflection. After all, this is tantamount to Darth Vader publishing an essay that praises the way the Rebellion is headed.
I'll fill in the background of what follows, but here's the main point. As Gomulkiewicz himself observes, the open-source initiative finds it expedient to downplay the "anti-commercial baggage" and "confrontational attitude" of the Free Software Foundation in general (and Richard Stallman in particular). But there's a risk. As Gomulkiewicz's work shows, this strategy can backfire by playing right into the hands of people and corporations who oppose everything our community stands for. In the end, open-source software isn't going to make sense to outsiders unless our principles are made clear from the get-go. If you're skeptical, read on; I hope you'll see why.
As you're probably aware, there's something of a split between the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the Open Source Initiative (OSI). To trivialize a rather complex situation, the split mainly boils down to a disagreement over tactics, not principles. FSF founder Richard M. Stallman (RMS) emphasizes the principles, specifically the Software User's Bill of Rights, which I'll discuss a bit later. In contrast, OSI plays down the principles in hopes of making free software enterprises more appealing to businesses and investors. In this, OSI has succeeded quite brilliantly, as the recent wave of Linux-related initial public stock offerings demonstrates.
Does OSI really play down the principles? Take it from OSI advocate Eric Raymond. Basically, the answer is "yes". Raymond is quick to point out, though, that OSI has "never condemned RSM's principles... the real disagreement between OSI and FSF is not over principles. It's over tactics and rhetoric." And what are the gains? According to Raymond, tremendous progress: "The same press that used to dismiss `free software' as a crackpot idea now falls over itself writing laudatory articles... And the same corporate titans who dismissed RMS as a `communist' are lining up to pour money and effort into open-source development." Without disagreeing with the FSF's principles, Raymond argues, the community should reject Stallman's confrontational rhetoric. "That kind of language," Raymond concludes, "simply does not persuade anyone but us. In fact, it confuses and repels most people outside our culture... as an evangelist to the mainstream, [Stallman] has been one fifteen-year-long continuous disaster" (Raymond, "Shut Up and Show Them the Code", dated 28 June 1999).
Is Raymond right? It's quite possible that rhetorical style has had very little to do with the success of the Open Source movement. Stallman's fifteen years of putative rhetorical "disaster" were accompanied by fifteen years of arduous coding, after all. But his efforts focused on utilities, so the project didn't bear fruit until a viable, GPL-licensed kernel came along. From this view, it was the Linux kernel, not rhetoric (good, bad or otherwise), that got the ball rolling. But let's leave that aside. My question is this: What are the risks of downplaying our principles? Let's take a look at Gomulkiewicz's argument.
If you take Gomulkiewicz's article at face value, you would think he's a kindly and caring advocate for open-source software authors. Praising open-source authors for their daring, innovative new products, Gomulkiewicz notes that these brave, pioneering programmers could be put out of business for good by a lawsuit, or even the threat of a lawsuit. And that's why, he argues, that open-source licenses typically incorporate take-it-or-leave-it licensing in which the user legally assents by clicking "I agree" or by using the software; outright denial of any form of warranty protection for users; and a shift to the user of any and all liabilities for product failure as well as intellectual property infringement. These are among the provisions of UCITA that alarm consumer advocates, Gomulkiewicz notes, but open-source authors need them--and by extension, the whole industry needs them.
Shorn of free-software principles, the OSI literature provides fertile ground for Gomulkiewicz's argument. For example, open-source licenses can be made to read like a page out of UCITA. And, in Gomulkiewicz's hands, open-source advocates start sounding like they'd willingly testify on behalf of the proposed legislation. Erstwhile OSI advocate Bruce Perens is cited approvingly: "If free software authors lose the right to disclaim all warranties and find themselves getting sued over the performance of the programs that they've written, they'll stop contributing free software to the world." So it's obvious, Gomulkiewicz concludes, that we need a "contract law regime that allows revolutionaries like the open source hackers to succeed". And why shouldn't Microsoft get the same, needed protection?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

If you enjoy social sciences classes, it is possible to increase the number of social sciences classes you take by counting some of your social sciences classes under your electives in your degree requirements.
Most social science faculty are housed in the first floor of Glenn Anthon (G142) in the northeast corner of the building, across from the Writing Center. Two faculty members (Drs. Morrow and Strong) are located in upstairs Deccio and one (Keith Reyes) is on the Grandview campus.
Go to the directory board in Glenn Anthon 142 to find out their office number. Then go to their office door and look at the schedule posted beside their door. Their class times and office hours will be listed there. If you aren't on campus, call the main office at (509) 574-4834.
No. We offer no formal degrees in any of the social science disciplines, only associates degrees, which typically transfer directly to state universities. Work with your academic advisor to identify the prerequisites for the major at the four-year school you are interested in attending.

The damnable "duties" of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) perverts frequently overlap those of the DEA's thugs. The former with their warrantless searches haven't discovered any terrorists, but they often find drugs that compete with Big Pharma's for our dollars and which Our Rulers therefore prohibit. Even "paraphernalia" for these disfavored substances earn the victim a fine from the real cops that the TSA's fake ones summon.
This isn't anything new. The TSA has always "detained" folks for possession. But dealers apparently move their wares via other transport, because the agency's usual victim is someone suffering from MS who's carrying small amounts of medicinal marijuana. These unfortunates suppose they're in the clear because their state's dictators may allow certain exemptions to their stupid, heartless laws (little do the serfs know that the TSA's federal regs trump local ones), and their doctor wrote them the sort of note your mother used to excusing you from school.
The latest such patient and passenger is Montel Williams, a "former talk show host … [who] was cited at Mitchell International Airport on Tuesday for possession of … a pipe commonly used for marijuana."
Mr. Williams spoke last year at a conference on medical marijuana in Portland, Maine. There his "pain level became so intolerable he was in tears…" He said that "if not for the use of the drug he wouldn't have been able to bear the nerve pain he was enduring…"
Try to fathom the absolute barbarity of Our Rulers in denying a sick man his medication (ahem: where's the ADA when we need 'em?), let alone their complete contempt for the Fourth Amendment. And then there's the extortion they exact from these pathetic people: "Williams paid $484 in fines and made his flight to New York City."

Governments and public institutions such as the United Nations are trusted with huge amounts of public funds. We have an obligation to work in a transparent way to show that what we are doing is what we should be doing. The benefits of being transparent, or "working in the open", go beyond curbing corruption. Transparency sets the foundation for responsive, engaged organizations. And real transparency allows for the public to have a say in the way work is being done and to take advantage of the "wisdom of the crowd." Transparency improves efficiency, builds trust and sparks innovation. The International Aid Transparency Initiative is creating openness in the $200 billion area of international development by giving poor countries the information they need to better manage foreign assistance, and donor governments – and their taxpayers – a better understanding of where their money goes. It is an "open data" effort with global standards for billions in public funds that UNDP has helped launch. At UNDP, we've worked to champion this effort with partner countries and other UN agencies, but we've also worked to deliver what we ask of others. We've tried hard to make our internal systems more understandable and ensure the... Read more

When I saw this month's TBR Challenge theme, I started digging in my TBR stacks and was surprised at all the random stuff I found that I could not remember getting. It took me a while to decide on a book to read for the challenge, so in the end, I decided to choose the oldest one I could find in the pile. It's a gothic from 1992 called The Jade Pagoda and it's by Marion Clarke, an author I can honestly say I've never heard of. It had a UBS receipt from 2006 tucked into it, so obviously it caught my interest somewhere along the way. Looking at it, I couldn't imagine why.
The cover blurb sounds awful – overwrought mysticism and deep dark secrets meet the Home and Garden channel – and the picture on the cover is not all that enticing either. I can't help snickering every time I look at the hero, who looks more vampiric than gothic. So what's it all about? Continue reading

How to Get Married at Home
At-home weddings are romantic, intimate, and always memorable, but they come with their fair share of challenges. Opening up your home (or the home of a generous friend or family member) for a big-day fete means dealing with logistical considerations you wouldn't encounter at a traditional wedding venue. (Bathrooms, anyone?) But, in some cases, it can be cheaper to host your wedding at home (no venue or tent rental fees!) and you'll create wonderful memories in your most beloved space.
Photo by: Ulmer Studios on Wedding Chicks via Lover.lyHere are some things to keep in mind:
1. Start with the logistics. First things first, determine your guest list and decide whether or not your home or yard is big enough to accommodate your closest family and friends. If not, can you cut down the guest list, or might a close friend be willing to play host? Consider whether there is enough parking for all of your guests, whether you'll need to acquire any permits (some cities require "party" permits), if your homeowner's insurance covers third parties, and if there are any noise restrictions you need to know about.
2. Tell your neighbors. The last thing you need is the neighbor's dog barking during your backyard vows. To avoid this and other related snafus, alert your block buddies of the upcoming nuptials' date and time. They'll appreciate the heads up and might even offer their driveways for guest parking.
3. Consider the bathroom situation. If your wedding is small (30-50 people) and your home offers 2-3 bathrooms, you won't need to rent port-o-potties. But if your guest list is larger, or you have just one bathroom in your home, consider alternatives. Luckily, you can rent some pretty fancy bathrooms nowadays. Yucky plastic box be gone!
4. Catering, home-cooking, or potluck? Hiring a caterer takes a lot of pressure off the marrying couple -- you won't have to worry about cooking or handling food -- but not every catering company can work in a private home. Get price quotes and details from a few caterers to find one who can accommodate. Alternately, you could also order in catered food from your favorite restaurant or ask a friend or family member to assist with the barbecue on-site. If you have wedding guests who like to cook, go the potluck route (when guests contribute dishes) for a low-key and low-cost option.
5. Decide what to rent and what to borrow. You probably don't have a wedding's worth of dishes, flatware, stemware, tables, or chairs just lying around your house, which means you'll need to rent some necessities. But beware, the cost of those rentals can add up quickly. If you can borrow platters, serving utensils, vases, glasses, and other items from friends and family members, do it!
6. Make a bad weather back-up plan. Planning to marry in the backyard? Great! But what if rain or a freak snowstorm hits on your wedding day? You'll need a back-up plan if you're marrying outside -- just as you would if you were marrying outdoors at a traditional wedding venue. Plan to host your wedding indoors in case of bad weather, or rent a tent to have on hand if an indoor wedding is not an option.
7. Consider your pets. If you live with furry friends, consider their comfort on your wedding day. Will your dog get nervous having so many strangers in her home? Will your cat decide that your wedding ceremony is the perfect time to start yowling? You may want to consider boarding your pet for the weekend.
8. Clean up, prep, and decorate. Clean up your yard, paint the garage, fill the flower pots, and string the lights. Clean your home thoroughly, or have it done professionally to ensure every room is in tip-top shape. If you're DIYing any of your decor, ask friends and family to help six weeks out. Be sure the cleaning is done and the house is decorated at least five days in advance.
9. Think through your event flow. It's important to walk through the day's events once or twice before your wedding. You need to consider the timing and the flow of people from room to room starting once guests arrive (parking, entering the house, seating for ceremony) through the end of the reception. If you're having your ceremony and reception in the backyard, how will you reconfigure the space? Will you need to hire someone to help move tables and chairs while guests are entertained elsewhere? Your guests will appreciate the ease of smooth transitions from ceremony to reception.
10. Don't forget the officiant! Seems obvious, but you don't want to overlook this detail. Help a friend get ordained, book a justice of the peace, or ask your religious leader to preside over the ceremony. Whatever you decide, make sure there's someone there on the big day who can pronounce you legally wed.
11. Organize a clean-up crew. There will be cleaning to do right after the wedding and the next morning, but you and your new spouse definitely won't want to do it. Organize a clean-up crew -- whether hired or bribed! -- to do the essentials immediately after the wedding.
Happy planning!

Anyone who has ever bought a penny stock, and unloaded it a few weeks later for a very tidy profit, has a pretty good idea of the attraction that an eclectic bevy of independents has for the liquids-laden Mississippi Lime.
With its fairway underlying much of northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas, across the heart of the Anadarko basin, the carbonate-dominate play is characterized by shallow, low-cost wells that deliver reasonably impressive, primarily liquid production rates, making it the quintessential bargain basement of the North American shale scene. Shell is the lone major among the largely home-grown independents, who have flocked here en masse to tap what has been described as an incredibly varied, complex carbonate reservoir with comparatively high porosities and, owing to its Woodford Shale source rock with ample stacked-pay potential.

Postpartum Depression Statistics
Every year, thousands of new moms battle with a serious case of depression. Bringing a baby home is no easy task, and getting used taking care of a being that seems to suck everything out of you, takes some getting used to. (And that would be a major understatement.)
Our friends over at the New Moms Connect program at Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles just sent over some pretty startling statistics about postpartum depression.
1) Every year, 800,000-1 million American women are affected by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
2) This statistic cuts across income, race, ethnicity, income, age and sexual orientation.
3) Low income women, however, are disproportionately affected.
4) In the Los Angeles Mother Baby study, low-income or ethnic minority women in Los Angeles had rates of depressive symptoms closer to 40-50%.
If you or somebody you know is looking for some help, send them to the New Moms Connect website or call them at 323.761.8800 x1028. They'll help connect you with somebody in your community.

The third year of training begins with a four-month block of rotations in internal medicine, after which the residents join their categorical psychiatry counterparts in the outpatient setting for next 12 months. Residents split their time in outpatient psychiatry between the Adult Psychiatry Clinic at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Residents also spend one half-day per week at the Community Mental Health Center for Mid-Eastern Iowa.
At University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, residents see patients with a variety of illnesses – depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, adjustment disorders, etc. Appointments are generally 60 minutes in length for a diagnostic evaluation and 30 minutes for follow-up medication management. In an appointment, residents interview the patient, staff the case in a conference room with an attending faculty physician, and return to the patient (with the faculty physician) to finalize the treatment plan. Psychotherapy patients are also scheduled during clinic months. Residents are expected to follow two patients per week.
At the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, residents are exposed to a wide range of diagnoses, including a large amount of post-traumatic stress disorder cases. Appointments are the same length as those at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, but there is more autonomy in the decision making process. For example, residents are not required to staff each patient and staff do not see the patients unless the resident feels there is a compelling reason. Instead, residents sit down with staff between patients or at the end of the day to discuss cases and get feedback on treatment plans.
In both locations, third year residents provide on-call support, usually once every other week. At University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, on-call time is spent on emergent appointments and phone calls. At the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, on-call time is spent on consults and emergency room patients.
Third year residents continue to follow a panel of patients in an outpatient setting one half-day per week through a continuity of care clinic at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics or the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

There has been a lot of talk in the opinion pages recently about the Quality Education & Jobs Act, which seeks to adequately fund K-12 education, universities and children's health care. A lot of the criticism comes from lobbyists who represent special interest groups, rather than the interests of real Arizona parents and students.
As a native Arizonan and college student, I know this grassroots initiative will solve a lot of the problems facing college students. As it stands now, state-based financial aid only accounts for 1 percent of the total aid awarded to students, which means students disproportionately turn to student loans. Such tremendous student debt loads mean that students like me will have to delay major life decisions like buying a house or a car. The Quality Education and Jobs initiative brings something monumental to students — $150 million worth of financial aid for students.
Arizona is at a crossroads: We can either support this initiative that brings real solutions or we can do nothing and watch Arizona fall even further behind.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A heat lamp that was placed in a box of wood shavings meant to keep baby chicks warm is to blame for a deadly fire in Pigeon Forge over the weekend, according to the Sevier Co. Sheriff's Office.
Marjorie C. King, 73, succumbed to the smoke while trying to make sure all her other family members got outside. She did not realize they already had escaped.
Fire Investigator James Breeden determined the fire, which had started in the carport area, was accidental. He noted that there were smoke detectors in the home, but said he did not know if they were working.
People inside at the time claimed they never heard the smoke detectors, but instead saw smoke and falling debris.
Pigeon Forge Police Officers tried to reach King, but were driven back by heavy smoke and fire.

|A Little Slice of Denmark in California
Founded in 1911 by Danish educators, the small town of Solvang (Danish for "sunny field') in the Santa Ynez Valley is a postcard perfect slice of coastal living with a Danish twist. The town is famous for its bakeries and quaint Scandinavian-style hotels, and takes its Danish roots very seriously. The Elverhøj Museum of History and Art, housed in a former home richly embellished with Scandinavian architectural elements, focuses on the history of Solvang, the Danish-American pioneer spirit, the colorful heritage of Denmark, and the arts. After a museum visit, take a stroll past traditional windmills and boutique-filled buildings topped with traditional thatched roofs. Duck into inviting tasting rooms, where you can sip one of the region's exceptional vintages, particularly Pinot Noir. The surrounding area also features several beautiful golf courses.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. That's one from each of us, but it will never be enough to express how truly grateful we are. Thanks to you astoundingly generous people, we have received over $11,000 in donations — enough to buy new, awesome podcasting equipment, pay for hosting fees, and help us on our way to putting out the highest quality content we can in our post-1UP lives.
Whether you had the means and/or inclination to donate, or wrote us a comment/e-mail/Facebook/Twitter/1UP/GAF/etc. message of support, or simply took a second to check out the site or podcast, we're in your debt. I can't imagine this happening in any other industry, and — for me, at least — confirms that I'm absolutely doing the right thing with my life. I'll keep talking and writing about games until someone forcibly shuts me up.
We never meant to be withholding about the donations, for those who felt that way. We were just trying to figure out the legal and tax implications of such a thing (if anyone knows, please pass on your knowledge to us!), since we're not really business types. And as Anthony wrote earlier, as soon as our podcasting setup is finalized, we'll post pictures of what we ended up with.
So again: thank you. I would say "we couldn't have done it without you," but there truly is no "without you." And that's why we do this.

I'm Jessica Hill, the slightly-unbalanced blogger of Mad in Crafts. I used to spend my days teaching Shakespeare and Longfellow to high school students, trying desperately to make the classics modern for my students… or at least to keep them awake for the 45 minute class period. Now, I teach readers how to combine classic style with modern trends in decorating, DIY, cooking, writing, and more! And hopefully you stay awake in the meantime.
On Mad in Crafts, I exercise my creativity by writing craft tutorials and exorcise my inner schoolmarm through my Mad Writing Skills series. This series tackles writing issues faced by bloggers, especially craft bloggers, and suggests specific, practical strategies for dealing with those challenges.
Early in 2012, my husband and I purchased our first home. To keep the Home DIY projects distinct from the craft and decor projects, I instituted The Mad House. This section of the blog holds all of our attempts to fix up the new house without losing what's left of our minds.
I have also written for SNAP Creativity, Decor Hacks, Zincubate, and Crafterminds! In early 2013, I released my first ebook, Mad Writing Skills: A Non-Threatening Guide to Grammar and Writing for Creative Bloggers.
I am excited to be a brand ambassador for both Plutonium Paint™ and ForRent.com!
