Starting meat
I have a six month old son and everything I read seems to have a different opinion on when to start feeding meat, chicken and fish. I make most of my own baby food and he has already gone through most fruit and veggies, rice, and yogurt. When is it safe to start meat?Question:
Sue Gilbert
Sue Gilbert works as a consulting nutritionist. For many years she worked with Earth's Best Organic Baby Food, integrating nutrition and... Read more
Dear Brad,
The best time to start meat is about when your baby begins on table foods. At that time, your baby has experimented with lots of other foods, like cereal, veggies, etc. and is ready to move on to more textured things. Simultaneously, formula or breast milk consumption has been dropping due to the increase of solids.
Because of this drop, it is necessary to find some non-milk source of protein to replace what baby is not getting from the milk. A good way to replace it is to introduce concentrated sources of protein such as meat, poultry, fish, cooked dried beans or peanut butter. In general the age this transition occurs is somewhere between 7 and 10 months. At six months, your son is on the early side, but all babies have their own schedule, some deciding not to wait until the charts tell them it's okay. Your son may be one of those. You will need to assess his diet, and his chewing and swallowing ability to make the decision as to the timing of adding meat to his diet.
Developmentally, baby's won't have the necessary molars for chewing many kinds of meat until they are much older, and so you will need to be selective in those meats you serve. You may also need to modify the texture. Some of the best meats for baby are hamburger meat, flaky fish and tender poultry. A baby food grinder can be used to grind the meat you are serving at the table. You will probably need to add a little broth or water to moisten the meat. It also helps to mix it with some of the vegetables or potatoes as you put it through the grinder because meat is often too tough and too dry to eat separately. Roughly, one ounce of meat is equivalent to one cup of formula or milk on protein content.
If you have any great homemade baby food recipes, send them my way and I will do a nutritional analysis on them and share them with readers!
Thank you for writing.Answer:

Postfix Cannot Receive Email - Smtp Timed Out
Hi everyone,
having problems on OS centos 5.6/5.7 - postfix - dovecot - I setup my postfix using this tutorial
1. I can send email to any domain but cannot received any email from external domain (but strange I can receive email from test server - look below).
2. I can send and received email between local account (using webmin and squirrelmail).
3. I cannot connect to my smtp server using thunderbird on port 25 or 110 (always timed out).
What info should I provide?
here's postfix config
When I connect to mail.newbielinx-domain.com 25 or 995 nothing changed in maillog.
When I send email to firstname.lastname@example.com from gmail or yahoo no changes on the log.
Also checking my computer IP using whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check [not listed on blacklist]
netstat -nalp | grep master | grep "LISTEN "
- SUCCESS Email received on mailbox
Send again from gmail but this time to email@example.com(without mail.)
Nothing on the log (FAIL)
I just changed my mx record from "mail" to "@" on cloudflare and see how it goes. And I still don't understand why the email from email@example.com rejetcted.
Problem solved now I can received and and send from and to any local and external email host
here's the solution:
changed mydestination to mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
One more problem... can't connect to my smtp mail.newbielinx-domain.com
It got rejected because it looks to me you want to mail to @newbielinx-domain.com, but you send mail to @direct-connect.newbielinx-domain.com which is mostlikely not defined as your "mydestination" hence postfix will say "i won't relay this mail for you!" (relay access denied)
@mark NL
I can receive any email and send email anywhere (local or external) the only problem I have now is I can only use squirrelmail, webmin mail, etc but not smpt on my computer (outlook, thunderbird, etc)
Does your provider allow you to send mail through another server that is not owned by them? Alot of ISP's block port 25 on their networks.
So you could try submission ..
uncomment the submission lines in master.cf of your postfix installation, then restart postfix and try to connect with port 587 instead of 25 (i think you need to enable TLS as well on the client)
Thank you Mark.
I see no button to mark the thread solved or there is no button?

Safe WLAN Networking with an Encrypted OpenVPN Tunnel
Wireless Secrets
Wireless networks are practical but dangerous at the same time.WEP encryption is unlikely to stop an attacker. But help is at hand in the form of add-on security measures such as an encrypted OpenVPN tunnel.
WLAN technology is insecure – most people are aware of that by now. The integrated encryption technology is easy to break – or even disable in a worst case scenario. Whereas a malevolent hacker would need physical access to your apartment to sniff data off a wired SOHO network, inquisitive strangers can wardrive the streets armed with laptops and WLAN adapters and easily associate with your wireless network. Signal boosters and special antennas extend the range to several hundred yards. Despite the risk, wireless networks are here to stay. The ability to surf the Internet with a laptop from your balcony or garden, or to copy files from a desktop PC to a laptop, enhances the user experience. And this is a good thing, assuming you keep to a few basic security rules that take the risk out of wireless technologies.

Users and websites aren't created
I am very new to linux, but i've been running Apache/MySql/PHP on windows boxes for a couple years now. I installed fedora linux to the perfect setup guide (cept I used DCHP and set the LAN IP to be static in the router.) My IP is dynamic, but I use a free DynDNS. (glor.homeip.net)
I had a bit of trouble installing ISPConfig at first, because I was forwarding my domain to a backup server on the network. This caused the first install to fail. I deleted all the files that were mentioned here on the forums in some other posts, and started over.
This time the install appeared to work. The login page comes up fine from LAN and outside.
I created a user (test), and created a site for this user.
Hostname: www
Domain: glor.homeip.net
I'm not really sure exactly where the website is supposed to be... but I don't think it was ever created... there are also no users created for proFTPd. /var/www/html is empty, as are anything else I figured might be the htdocs folder... plus I did a file search for test and www... didn't see anything with that either...
Any idea what is wrong?
Edit: I probably should mention that the test user can log in to the ISPConfig, he just doesn't appear to actually get an FTP or website or anything aside from the config for one in his control panel.
hostname: glor
Domain: homeip.net
Creating a website with the host glor and the domain homeip.net doesn't seem to do anything differently. I still can't find any signs that any files were created.
I also tried adding a user and e-mail. The user (web1_testuser) cannot connect thru the ISPconfig ftp control, or by ftp://glor.homeip.net/ and entering the username/password pair.
/home/www is empty and /var/www contains nothing except for the cgi-bin, error, html, icons, manual, sharedip, and usage folders. The html folder is also empty, but if I place an index there, it will show as the starting page for http://glor.homeip.net/. (Else I just get the standard fedora page)
Any warnings in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log?
What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?
HTML Code:
22.02.2006 - 05:45:14 => INFO - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/classes/ispconfig_system.lib.php, Line 696: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart &> /dev/null
Please execute:
rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
What happens if you run this command:
/root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock gave no error or message of any kind
/root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
gave the output:
ERROR: Nothing parsed, nothing printed <BR>
EDIT: this also seems to have fixed it... I can now log in to FTP and a website has been created.... ! :D
OK, then i guess the script has been blocked by a crashed process that has not removed the lochfile correctly. It should work now correctly if you insert anything in the ISPConfig interface.
Thank you very much till and falko, I would have never figured that one out on linux by myself! :P This little setup seems like it could make my life much easier once I figure out how to use ISPConfig and linux to their fullest. I suspect i'll be seeing a lot more of linux in the near future anyway... (comp sci major :eek:).
I'm having another problem now... I can't seem to empty the recycle bin. I have waited a couple hours and the thing still doesn't seem to empty out anything when I click Empty Recycle Bin... 0_0
EDIT: Nevermind!!! I found another post with the same problem finally, and I fixed it by restarting the server as was mentioned in that thread. Not really sure how I missed that post the first time!

Their idea is not one that is uncommon. Maybe you were sitting in your hairstylist's chair talking about your need for a lawyer and he or she recommended one they knew? Or your dentist offered a suggestion on a good caterer for your daughter's bridal shower?
Referrals are a popular way for businesses to find new customers. If clients are satisfied with the product or service you provide, chances are good they will suggest you to a friend or family member. But typically referrals are informal — word of mouth usually.
One group, however, has found a way to turn that system into a more formal one.
Business networking organization BNI has created a marketing plan to help entrepreneurs spread word of their businesses while also helping others like them. The group, founded by Dr. Ivan Meiser in California in 1985, opens small local chapters and invites business owners to join and refer clients to each other. The chapters, which typically have between 25 and 50 members, allow only one member per profession and have an organized plan for referrals in which business owners document who they referred clients to.
BNI launched its newest chapter on Wednesday, and its first in Southern Queens. The Howard Beach chapter is their fourth in the borough, but the founding members of the Howard Beach group aren't simply business owners from the neighborhood, but many from other parts of Queens and surrounding areas, that see Howard Beach as a place to expand their clientele.
Among those represented at the meeting: a mortgage broker from Nassau County, an interior designer from Ozone Park, a health and wellness company from Middle Village, all of them interested in learning more about BNI and its new Howard Beach chapter.
"The group is like your marketing team," said Steve Araneo, a certified financial planner and member of the Howard Beach chapter.
Araneo said he often sees hundreds of customers during tax season who ask him for referrals for other needs. As part of the BNI group, he becomes familiar with other business owners he can refer his clients to.
The group meets at 10 a.m. every Wednesday, which is not a common time for a BNI group to meet. Nearly all of the groups in 57 countries around the world meet at 7 a.m. The later start time for the Howard Beach chapter has to do with the needs of the business owners in the community.
"You have a lot of what we call mompreneurs, business owners who have children and families." said Issa Davis-Burton, a consultant with BNI. "Ten o'clock meetings work better for them."
BNI had planned on launching the Howard Beach chapter two months ago on Nov. 14, but Hurricane Sandy forced them to delay it until January.
Tim Houston, BNI's outerborough area director, said the Howard Beach chapter is the fourth in Queens — the others are in Bayside, New Hyde Park and Rego Park — and that the neighborhood is a good place for the group to set up a chapter.
"This is still a community that knows one another," he said. "It's the perfect place to build your own business by referrals."
Houston said that fact became incredibly important after many business owners were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Davis-Burton noted the storm affected many members of the chapter and that others from outside Howard Beach responded to the needs of fellow business owners in the disaster zone.
"The resilience and the dedication that I've seen from these members as they huddled together and picked themselves up after Sandy, it was really amazing to me," she said.
Businesses interested in joining a chapter can visit bniouterboros.com and look up existing ones.

Did all the Facebook cofounders promise to make honest women and men out of their partners, just as soon as the company went public? Because guess who graced the New York Times' Vows section today: Facebook cofounder and now New Republic publisher and editor-in-chief Chris Hughes and his partner Sean Eldridge.
The Times tells us that the pair were wedded yesterday, at their home–excuse us, their "estate"– in Garrison, New York. The announcement recounts their meeting:
The couple met in November 2005 through a college acquaintance of Mr. Eldridge's at a brunch in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Mass. Mr. Eldridge was working as a customer service manager for a moving company in Somerville, Mass., and Mr. Hughes was a senior at Harvard, and already a founder of Facebook.
"He was very intelligent and charismatic," Mr. Hughes said of Mr. Eldridge. "He was very kind and politically engaged, and he cared about the world around us. All of that was very attractive to me."
Aw, it's almost enough to make us forget we find the Vows section even more agonizing than the Modern Love column!
A source tells Betabeat that while the wedding itself was intimate, at around 75 people, the party was a blowout, with something like 400 guests. Mark Zuckerberg attended, as did fellow Facebook cofounder Andrew McCollum and his wife Gretchen Sisson. Misters Hughes and Eldridge are quite connected in the city's Democratic circles, which probably explains what Nancy Pelosi was doing at the party, getting down to "All The Single Ladies."
Arianna Huffington put in an appearance at the couple's wedding dinner at Cipriani–and couldn't resist tweeting out a photo of herself with fellow guest Senator Charles Schumer. Senator Chris Coons likewise attended, betraying an endearing sentimental streak (or maybe just a sweet tooth) by tweeting out a picture of the wedding cake.
Mr. Hughes may be busy recruiting for The New Republic in his new role as media mogul. But there were plenty of friends from the tech world in attendance as well. LocalResponse founder Nihal Mehta and his wife Reshma Saujani were both there and tweeting their congratulations–no great surprise given Mr. Hughes' support for Ms. Saujani's 2010 Congressional campaign. Ms. Saujani is the founder of Girls Who Code; the program's executive director Kristen Titus was also among the guests. We heard that Eli Pariser and Peter Koechley of Upworthy (which aims to "make important content shareable") were in attendance as well, and that Olivia Ma of YouTube did a reading.
Alberto Ibarguen, head of the Knight Foundation, and Ivanka Trump also attended. (Ms. Trump is married to Jared Kushner, head of the Observer Media Group, which owns Betabeat.)
Of course, Mr. Hughes' nuptials follow hard on the heels of those of both Mark Zuckerberg's surprise wedding and Andrew McCollum's seaside affair. Starting to reconsider that bachelor lifestyle, Eduardo? Inquiring minds want to know.

Led by a hat trick from Conor Malangone '11 (#44, photo by Oliver Citrin 14), Wesleyan rallied from a 3-1 second-quarter deficit to take a 4-3 victory over Williams Sat., April 16. With the win, Wesleyan improved to 9-3 on the season and 4-3 in NESCAC action, while Williams fell to 1-9 overall and 1-6 in conference play.
Malangone netted the game-winner with 5:23 left in the third quarter. Following a turnover in the midfield area by Williams, John Olbeter '11 scooped up the ground ball and fed Malangone in front of the Williams net. Malangone beat the Williams keeper low for his 11th goal of the season. Malangone had also scored 29 seconds into the third to tie the game, as Williams led 3-2 at halftime.
The visitors had drawn first blood, moving out to a 1-0 lead just 11 seconds into the contest after winning the opening faceoff. Wesleyan answered courtesy of Malangone, who put home a high shot at the 8:31 mark in the first off a pass from Adam Michael '11. Williams took a 2-1 lead with 4:43 left in the quarter and moved ahead 3-1 at the 11:39 mark of the second quarter. Wesleyan narrowed the deficit to 3-2 with 10:21 remaining before halftime when Aiden Daniell '14 netted his 13th goal of the year on a long shot from the right side.
The teams survived a frantic final two minutes, with each squad threatening to find the back of the cage. Williams was called for a slash with 1:41 remaining, giving Wesleyan a minute-long extra-man opportunity, but the Williams goalie stopped a pair of Wesleyan scoring bids, and the Ephs regained possession with 20 seconds remaining. Williams legged the ball into the box with 13 seconds to go but was unable to get a shot off and turned the ball over as time expired.
Goalie Grant Covington '12, who collared the final ground ball for Wesleyan, had four stops on the day. The Cardinals held a commanding 37-14 edge in shots but put just 16 on net thanks in large part to a stingy Williams defense. Wesleyan had a strong showing in its defensive end as well, causing 10 of Williams' 27 turnovers and holding the Ephs without a shot on goal for the final 16:11.
Wesleyan returned to action on Sat., April 23 at 10th-ranked Amherst in a game that decided this year's Little Three title. Teddy Citrin '12 (#20, photo insert lower right) scored the game's first two goals in the opening quarter before Amherst responded with a first-period marker. The score remained unchanged for 37 minutes in the defensive struggle before the Lord Jeffs knotted the score with 13:23 left in the fourth period. Amherst picked up the game-winner with 6:38 to go and tacked on an insurance marker with 4:00 left in the 4-2 win. Amherst ended a 13-game skid vs. Wesleyan dating back to 1999.
Wesleyan outshot its host by a 45-25 margin but the Lord Jeffs keeper was on his game with 18 saves. Covington had a strong game with eight stops. Ground balls were nearly even and Amherst took a majority of the faceoffs, 7-3.
Now 4-4 in conference play, Wesleyan hosts Amherst in the final game of the regular-season Fri., April 29, before heading into NESCAC tournament action Sun., May 1. The Cardinals are assured of no worse than the #5 seed in the tournament and, with help from Williams, could get a home game if the Ephs upset Middlebury in their regular-season finale. Tufts will be the top seed in the tournament for the second year in a row and Amherst will take on Trinity with the winner securing the #2 seed.

ATLANTA (AP) — Chris Bosh scored 33 points and the Miami Heat, playing without injured stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, beat the Atlanta Hawks 116-109 in triple-overtime on Thursday night.
Mario Chalmers had 22 of his 29 points after the third quarter, including five in the third overtime.

Bosh hit a last-second, tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force the first overtime.
Joe Johnson had 20 points for the Hawks, who did not score in the third extra period.

B/E Aerospace Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Financial Results; Fourth Quarter 2012 EPS Up 30%; Full Year 2012 EPS Up 26% Excluding Debt Prepayment Costs; Raises 2013 Guidance
Backlog as of December 31, 2012 was approximately $3.75 billion, an increase of approximately 7 percent as compared with 2011 and total backlog, both booked and awarded but unbooked, was a record at approximately $8.25 billion.
Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mr. Khoury stated, "Our raised full-year 2013 guidance of approximately $3.45 per diluted share represents an increase of approximately 22 percent as compared to 2012 EPS and is based upon the expectation of strong operating earnings growth driven by significant margin expansion in each of the Company's three segments. It also reflects recent changes to tax legislation. Our record total backlog, both booked and awarded but unbooked, of approximately $8.25 billion, our expectation for a 14 percent CAGR in wide-body aircraft deliveries over the next three years, our expectation of rapidly growing revenues from our SFE program deliveries, the expectation for continued growth in global passenger travel, and the attendant increases in capacity all provide a foundation for expected solid revenue growth in 2013, and an acceleration in revenue growth beginning in 2014."
The Company's 2013 financial guidance is as follows:
- The Company expects continued strong bookings in 2013 driven by the robust wide-body aircraft delivery outlook, bookings from prior SFE awarded programs, and a modest recovery in aftermarket demand, and expects to end the year with a book-to-bill ratio in excess of 1 to 1.
- 2013 revenues are expected to be approximately $3.35 billion, and, based on scheduled program deliveries, are expected to be stronger in the second half of the year.
- The Company expects 2013 EPS of approximately $3.45 per diluted share. The EPS guidance of $3.45 per diluted share represents an increase of approximately 22 percent as compared with 2012 EPS of $2.83 per diluted share (2012 EPS of $2.83 adjusted to exclude 2012 debt prepayment costs). The Company's 2013 earnings per share guidance is inclusive of approximately $20 million of expected 2013 AIT costs.
- 2013 free cash flow conversion ratio is expected to be approximately 70 percent of net earnings, weighted more heavily toward the second half of 2013.

Clothing retailer Polo Ralph Lauren said Wednesday it earned a $76.8 million profit despite falling sales in its fiscal first quarter in part through savings on logistics and transportation costs.
The savings included shifting some of its imports from air freight to ocean transport, which meant taking the goods earlier to account for the longer delivery cycle, the New York-based company said.
Although that raised inventory costs, "due to continued improvements in the planning calendar and to the order flow to factories, we are very comfortable with the cost benefit of pursuing supply chain and logistic savings opportunities that still allow us to maintain the currency of our global inventory," Roger Farah, president and chief operating officer, told investment analysts on a conference call.
Farah said the company set up "an air traffic controller concept in Asia so that at the last minute we can decide depending on need and depending on what stage of manufacturing we're in whether to get the savings off of boat or whether air shipments are needed. And it allowed us to shave dramatic costs out of the transit line of the margin.
The company earned $76.8 million in the three months ending June 27, down 20 percent from the same quarter a year ago, on an 8 percent drop in revenue, to just beyond $1 billion.
But Polo Ralph Lauren also improved its gross profit margin compared to last year's first fiscal quarter and said it was partly the result of greater logistics operating efficiency.
"Supply chain initiatives … have allowed us to move more product via lower-cost modes of transportation and have therefore yielded freight savings on our inbound inventory," said Tracey Travis, chief financial

When you think of Mexican desserts, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? In my case it's Churros, sometimes referred to a Spanish donut. Churros are traditional Spanish desserts developed centuries ago by Spanish shepherds. Up high in the mountains, fresh baked goods were impossible to come by, so the indigenous nomadic folk of the hills came up with a delicious cake-like, cylindrical, daily staple which they could easily cook in a pan over an open fire. This was the birth of Churros.
You can have Churros for breakfast, lunch and of course after dinner. That is why I asked Vanessa Johnson, Capella Pedregal's Pastry Chef, to share with us her secrets for a perfect Churro so we can all try it at home!
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
Chocolate for dunking:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups milk
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
To make the churro dough: Combine 1 cup of water with the butter or margarine and the salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Reduce the heat to low and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove the dough from the heat and, while stirring constantly, gradually beat the eggs into the dough.
To make the chocolate for dunking: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of milk and reserve. Combine the chocolate with the remaining cup of milk in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate over medium-low heat. Whisk the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch into the melted chocolate mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. (Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.) Remove the pan from the heat and whisk until smooth then reserve in a warm place.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy, high-sided pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360 degrees F. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon on a plate and reserve.
Meanwhile, spoon the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Squeeze a 4- inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
When the churros are just cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar (in Spain churros are simply rolled in sugar.)
Pour the chocolate into individual bowls or cups. Serve the warm churros with the chocolate dip.
You can always enjoy them at Don Manuel's restaurant, El Farallón or in the privacy of your suite. Buen Provecho!

Earlier this week, one of our visual designers in Shanghai shared a jpg file depicting the Apple Inc. icon, and its construction using circles and seemingly complicated math. A native Chinese, he wondered if the Western icon had to be designed so pre-calculated in order to be considered as "good design." During our talks, I related this design principle to the established Chinese practice of Feng Shui.
Despite its perception in the West, Feng Shui does not involve mythology. Perhaps because of the manner it is talked about and presented, Feng Shui often gets brushed aside as superstitious hoo-ha. However, at the core, Feng Shui is an approach to energy, not an expression of religion. Feng Shui, referred as "qi," can be described as the energy that surrounds everything in the world. For the West, this is recognized as electromagnetic energy or gravitational magnetic energy. While many Westerners believe that Feng Shui is only based on Asian mystical philosophy, it is in fact rooted much more in science.
The true application of Feng Shui is a scholarly study, unimpeded by any superstition. Despite its portrayal, Feng Shui has nothing to do with red front doors or water features. Feng Shui is, quite literally, the ability to detect and correct the imbalances in the flow of energies through observation and repeatable calculations, as well as the implementation of time-honored methodologies. By the proportioning of natural and artificial artifacts, Feng Shui creates a balanced environment that allows natural energy to reach its full potential. The ideal flow is strong where it has to be, and soft or slow where it can be. That flow is never a straight line that has to cover the shortest distance, but rather proportionate and incremental "waves" or swirls. Feng Shui is a benchmark ruling system that measures the quality of harmony.
None of this is uncommon or even new for Western cultures. Where Feng Shui is an Eastern approach to harmony and balance, the West applies a mathematical and numeral approach to measure the same thing. The Golden Ratio is one of the precepts that shares similar principles and objectives as Feng Shui.
The Golden Ratio is numerically described as 1:62. The Fibonacci numbers are a key component to this ratio. All you Da Vinci Code readers may recall that the secret to Da Vinci's genius was his ability to apply the Golden Ratio in the composition and symmetry within his works. Da Vinci applied this rule to shape perfection.
Did I geek you out by that? All apologies if I did, but there is more to it than famous paintings and best-selling books. This ratio is all around us. The Fibonacci numbers can be traced throughout nature, from branching in trees, to the leaf arrangements in plants, to the scales of a pineapple and even the curves of waves. The sequence is applicable to the growth of every living being, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, even human DNA. Heck, even the bones in your fingers are proportioned roughly to the 1:62 scale.
Because the number and ratio keep popping up everywhere, humans have evolved with a pre-disposition to feel comfort and natural beauty in objects that reflect the ratio. We've applied it in architecture and art, as well as in music compositions and even facial recognition software. We know most of the famous examples, such as the Egyptian pyramids or the Christian cross, but everyday mundane objects hold this principle as well. Your credit cards, for example are perfect Golden Ratio rectangles.
So while the outcome of a Golden Ratio proportioned design is to have an enhanced appeal and attractive energy, the basic principle of Feng Shui is that everything is energetically connected, and its purpose is to help create balanced and harmonious energies. I see both as sharing the same objectives, be it one is numerical and linear (the Golden Ratio), and the other is more lucid and spatial. Both are creative outcomes that resonate and link with our emotional well-being. To say both are one and the same would be oversimplifying it, but there are common grounds beyond a human desire to formulate a measurable success.
Back to this memorable symbol, the Apple icon. The jpg demonstrates how the icon fits the Golden Ratio composition rules, and few of us would challenge that this brand has "something going for itself." I would also argue that it contains a certain positive and charismatic energy, which equals good Feng Shui.
This poses the next question – are there brands out there that do well – or fail to do so – because of their Feng Shui?

In addition to the scavenger hunt (delivered in a separate sealed envelope for each player, not to be opened until Gen Con), each envelope has the name of a game and a hint on how to find the game in the dealer hall. I made each title I was one I was sure they hadn't heard of: Hellas, StarSiege, Obsidian--and so on from there. I'm really excited if they manage to find the game title that was in noted in their envelope.
So, here's the list. I wish I could have listed more, but don't worry--I'll have plenty more recommendations for them:

Fayetteville Looking Ahead With Green Jobs Training Center (Workforce Development | Honorable Mention, 20,000+)
Posted 12/9/2013 12:00 am
As a college town to the core, Fayetteville likes to think of itself as a funky, forward-thinking city.
The city certainly was thinking ahead when it led an effort resulting in the creation of the Fayetteville Center of Excellence for green job training. The center is administered by NorthWest Arkansas Community College, but the road to its creation was paved by the city of Fayetteville, led by a partnership of public and private officials who secured the federal funds to make it happen.
The center, along with a sister facility in Little Rock run by Pulaski Technical College, trains Arkansans for energy efficiency jobs. Last year, it introduced a mobile unit for on-location workforce training.
That commitment to its workforce earned Fayetteville recognition as a 2013 Arkansas Business City of Distinction for workforce development in cities of more than 20,000.
Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan said the devastating ice storm that crippled Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas in 2009 spurred the city to think ahead even more.
"One of our administrative goals became finding a way to help put people back to work in jobs that pay a living wage, grow energy efficiency jobs and opportunities, and do our city's part to assure that Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas are equipped with people skilled to do the work in a field of future high demand," he said. "Working with city staff and members of the community and region, the idea was to foster collaboration and partnerships from various stakeholders, capitalizing on the brain power that is prevalent but often untapped in Arkansas, to make this happen."
The program at the centers trains workers as specialists in energy efficiency and conservation techniques. Jordan said the city sees several benefits, including the relevant job training of residents in a growing workforce area, more opportunity for employment and a greater ability for home and business owners to locally find quality energy auditors and energy-project contractors.
"Since energy efficiency has long been an interest to the Fayetteville community, wide support was given to this initiative and center," Jordan said. "Additional opportunities for economic development partnerships also stemmed from it."

In May, I had a their IPA which was very hoppy (could have used a little more malt to balance it). I've always enjoyed their beers. They usually have a nice variety in styles.
Let me first say, the food here is amazing. Worth going to just for dinner... though a little on the pricy side (2 beers, 2 apps, 2 dinners, 1 desert = 125$). To get a feel of the croud, most people, at this brewery, were drinking wine with dinner... strange.
Beer wise, it was ok.
I had the IPA. It was good, but not great. The best IPA I've tried in NJ so far, but nothing to write home about. The wife had their wheat, and it was COMPLEX in flavor. Banana, bubble gum, other flavors. complex flavor, but still missing something (maybe just not our taste). They normally have 6 beers on tap (2 are pilsners, and avoided like the plague by us), and 2 were all out... they had run out of the red, and they are no longer making their stout. I'm a big stout fan, so I was a little disapointed.
So, great food, great service, the dessert, a chocolate brownie with a scoop of homemade peanut butter rocky road ice cream, was fantastic, great piece of tuna, try the crab and potato hash... beer, its ok, nothing to write home about.
I started with the Steam Engine, a great amber colored steam beer; very smooth, slightly bitter, and nicely balanced. My wife had the Kestral's Joy IPA; an excellent, hoppy American style IPA. My dad had the Ghost Pony Helles Lager; an excellent, crisp, bitter lager. My second beer was the Hathor Red Lager, which was also excellent; deep amber color, hoppy up front with a nice balance of maltiness.
I had a great sesame seared tuna salad. It was a bit small, but there was plenty of great bread to help absorb the alcohol. My wife had excellent crab cakes, although also a bit on the small side.
As we ordered our beers, just to drink them down and get out of there, we asked for our passport to be stamped. They had NO IDEA about the promotion and probably wanted us out of there as much as we wanted to leave.
From my experience, the brewpub atmosphere is usually warm and friendly. This place was the exact opposite. We were treated as second class citizens.
I just hope the next place we visit is more inviting. Those of you looking to get the Trap Rock stamp on your passport, dont bother. Cant expect any cooperation from a NJCBG member that doesnt even attend the Guild meetings.

Is Traffic Congestion Growing Three Times As Fast As Economy?
timothy posted about 10 months ago | from the feels-that-way-in-austin dept.187
cartechboy writes "Math watch time: For many traffic analysts, INRIX is considered the gold-standard. This week the company says traffic congestion surged in 2013 and grew over three times as fast as the American economy. The bad news: If true, this reverses two consecutive years of traffic declines with a six percent increase in 2013. (GDP, by comparison, grew 1.9 percent last year.) The analysts then theorize links between economic growth and traffic congestion, which makes sense on the surface. (As the economy improves, more jobs are created, so more commuters on the roads) But INRIX's theory creates as many questions as it answers. For example, the U.S. GDP has been steadily growing since 2009. So why did congestion decline in 2011 and 2012?"

Tactics vs strategy
In startup land the tactics we employ are far more important than our total business strategy. They are more important for one simple reason:
Tactics are short term. Strategy is long term.
Our goal as entrepreneurs in the short term is to get to the long term. To think, to invent, to create to build and ultimately to survive. If we survive long enough our we'll be able to test our strategy in market.
Strategy is the domain of large companies who have revenue and time. In the world of the startup we must be tactically superior to get a chance to play in market. Often the tactics are not as the strategy intends. But unless we progress and gain momentum. The ultimate strategy will never see it's place in market.
The lesson for startups is simple. Our tactics give us a chance at being straetgic in the long run.
Know what to do
I was thinking about my business rentoid.com and why I believe we, the rentoid team can succeed making this business something incredibly valuable for all our people. (I'll do my next blog entry on those two important words, valuable & people).
These are the 4 reasons:
- Our concept has been validated in market.
- We know what to do.
- We know how to do it.
- We are are actually doing it – right now.
If you have these 4 factors working in your favour, then success is inevitable. Of course all of these elements need some explaining.
1. Our concept has been validated in market.
Firstly let's look at the last two words in this sentence – in market. This means we have launched, we are live, we have customers, and revenue. We have gone beyond the idea (the easy part), and launched something which makes the original business launch plan a historical & irrelevant document. Concept validation – this has occurred when people are buying what we sell as well as any positive coverage we have. Coverage includes people and media talking about what we are doing for other people, the people who buy from us, not us. Basically – the business has potential and isn't a stupid whim.
2. We know what to do.
We've been doing what we do, selling what we sell long enough to know the crappy parts of our business. We know what we must improve to make our semi-broken, yet still alive startup get better. We've been around long enough to have feedback from the market which gives us a good indication of how to improve our 'thing'. Until this point innovation, location, good people and lots of saying sorry has kept us alive. But time has nearly run out, and we've learned what must be done to grow and eventually thrive.
3. We know how to do it.
Not only do we understand the above conceptually, but we actually know how to make this stuff happen. We've gone beyond ideas for improvement like – make the website more usable, reduce the price of the widget, create national brand awareness or increase distribution, and actually have an executable plan in place. A plan which isn't a pipe dream, but an achievable reality. A reality in which we have the team, the skills, the financial resources and the time needed to bring our improved offer to market.
4. We are actually doing it – right now.
The plans have been put down as discussed in parts 2 and 3. In fact we won't even look at them again. They are now 'historical documents'. Instead we are fully engaged in implementing what we have agreed is the correct strategy. They are live projects the team is actively engaged in on a daily basis which will fundamentally change the marketing mix of our business. The projects have budgets and deadlines and we will not rest until they have been completed. Only then will we go back to part 2, 3 and 4 again.
When we do this – we are on the path to success.
(Which by the way we should define as follows: Success = the progressive realization of a worthwhile ideal. )

World of Venn
While we are bootstrapping our startups, it's worth bootstrapping our lives simultaneously. We should be building projects with overlaps, to the extent that we end up living in a 'World of Venn'. For the 'un-nerds' who can't quite remember the Venn diagram, here's a simple explanation:
Venn Diagram:
n. A diagram using circles to represent sets, with the position and overlap of the circles indicating the relationships between the sets.
[After John Venn (1834-1923), British logician.]
The reason for doing this is simple. By living in a 'World of Venn', we are building intellectual assets which have synergy. Assets which are connected metaphysically. Constructs with similar ideals which can be shared, borrowed or stolen. The people in these worlds often overlap too. They're often interested in learning about and helping in other areas of our Venn worlds. And importantly when one set dies or withers, it has an overlapping intersection on which we can refocus our efforts without having to start from the beginning.
Here's a sample of parts of my world and the Venn relationships.
As you can see my worlds overlap and all build revenue streams.
– Ideas and experiences from rentoid.com, give me great writing fodder and intellectual stimulation for this blog you are reading right now.
– Startup blog has lead to more professional business writing I do for magazines and journals
– My academic career at Melbourne University has lead to more Business writing and an upcoming book on marketing & investing.
The point is – they all feed each other, build on one another and leverage my personal areas of expertise.
Each success in one section adds credibility and strength to an overlapping area. The more overlaps we have, the larger our sweet spot becomes. When we have a great number of overlaps, life gets sweeter and the rewards are greater. This is why 'work life balance' is simply a hoax. Work is a large part of our life and should be joyous. To try and find time for things outside of work we actually 'enjoy', means we've got our life wrong. Once we live in a world of Venn our personal and financial growth is inevitable.
Venn is Zen. How Venn is your life?

Bank Stocks Tumble on Mixed Economic Data
TheStreet) -- Large-cap U.S. bank stocks were very weak on Thursday, as a reported decline in manufacturing activity in China outweighed another decent set of domestic unemployment numbers.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
Back home, the January Markit "flash" PMI manufacturing index for January was 53.7, declining from the final December reading of 55. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had on average estimated the January figure would come in at 55.
The Department of Labor said initial unemployment claims for the week ended Jan. 18 rose by 1,000 to 326,000, which was the level expected by economists. The four-week moving average for unemployment claims 331,500, declining by 3,750 from the previous week's average.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down 1.6% to 70.25, with all 24 component stocks ending with significant declines.
The sector loser on Wednesday was KeyCorp (KEY) of Cleveland, with shares down 3.5% to close at $13.65, after the company's fourth-quarter earnings came in slightly ahead of expectations, with earnings growing 20.5% year-over-year.
KeyCorp CEO Beth Mooney has been emphasizing the company's major cost-cutting efforts over the past year, however, many analysts believe the stock price already reflects any additional cost savings, along with the company's growth in average loans and fee income. KeyCorp's stock rose 62% during 2013, compared to a 35% return for the KBW Bank index.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Erika Najarian in a client note on Thursday reiterated her "neutral" rating for KeyCorp, writing, "It is not a surprise then that the market is disappointed with the expense guidance, which calls for a low single digit decline off a $2.82bn [annual] base -- a base that includes repositioning charges." The analyst lowered her 2014 earnings estimate for the bank to $1.06 a share from $1.04, "implying a full-year cash efficiency of 64% -- only a modest improvement from the 4Q13 ratio of 65%." The efficiency ratio is the percentage of overhead expenses to revenue.
Najarian raised her 2015 EPS estimate for KeyCorp to $1.14 from $1.12, on the likelihood of reduced provisions for loan loss reserves.
Oppenheimer analyst Terry McEvoy has a neutral "perform" rating on KeyCorp, estimating the bank will earn $1.06 a share this year and $1.18 a share during 2015. McEvoy wrote in a client note that "finding the incremental buyer of KEY is going to be harder in 2014 given the stock's massive outperformance in 2013. Fourth-quarter earnings were basically in line but combined with management's outlook not enough to either raise our estimates or change our view on the stock."
"Returning capital will continue to be important to Key and their shareholders," McEvoy added. Investors will find out more about the bank's plans for increasing dividends and for share buybacks after the Federal Reserve completes its annual stress tests and capital plan reviews in March.
KeyCorp's shares trade for 12.2 times the consensus 2015 EPS estimate of $1.12. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $1.01.
The following chart shows KeyCorp's performance against the KBW Bank Index and the S&P 500 since the end of 2011:

Well, 1st grade has been cooking again! This time, as you've probably already figured out, we made pumpkin butter. And, oh, was it ever good.
Our vocabulary unit this week was centered around the job of a chef, and included the words 'utensils' and 'ingredients' ... among other words, of course. I just couldn't resist incorporating a hands-on cooking activity! And it just so happened that we were also learning about the pumpkin growth life cycle ... ya know, pumpkins start as a seed, then grow into a sprout, which grows into a plant ... remember learning that kind of stuff?
Hmmmm, combine cooking vocabulary with pumpkins? Could it get any easier?? I mean, really, no challenge at all. I decided this slow-cooker pumpkin butter would be perfect!
So, my crockpot once again made the journey into school, along with a few other utensils and the ingredients to make this rich, flavorful pumpkin butter. Then my little helpers and I set about whipping this up.
It's sooooooo easy. Easy-sneezy, as we'd say in our class.
Put two cans of pumpkin into a slow-cooker and stir in a bunch (quite a big bunch!) of brown sugar ...
|In goes the brown sugar
... and some cinnamon and ground cloves. (Two of my boys did a fantastic job stirring this up. They really got into it! Notice the two-handed grips on that spoon??)
|In go the spices
Cook it for a while until it's a gorgeous and rich dark brown color ...

Comments about Corded Pre-lit Berry Garland:
The product is fine, but nothing special. It is rather sparse and you have to really work them to get it to look full and not fake. It's rather cheaply made, evidenced by the fact the stickers were falling off when they arrived, the battery box screw to hold back on was missing and is flimsy plastic. That said, for just the holidays, it should be fine. Also, I ordered two sets (as I figured it would be a bit sparse, but received only one. No email, no call, no warning. Just a note inside saying it was on backorder, despite saying available when I ordered (bit like airlines overbooking). Now cannot use where wanted. No date indicated when other would arrive and really doesn't matter because won't have it for party as expected, regardless. Poor customer service. Plus I was charged shipping on full order. Guess have to go through hassle of getting order fixed now or take back to a store to prevent another month of hassle. Oh, well.

1Introduction to the End-of-Life Web Tour
This web exploration tackles end-of-life issues. Euthanasia is defined as "good death" and it involves the principles involved in providing "good death to a terminally ill patient". As part of this web tour we will clarify important terminology related to end of life issues such as DNR, PVS, advanced directive and living wills. We will also define the different types of euthanasia and work to develop an awareness of moral dilemmas involved in assisted deaths.

9Hospice vs Palliative Care
Hospice Care
Dying patients may choose hospice care. A holistic and philosophical approach to end of life care, hospice brings doctors, nurses, social workers and other professionals together as a care team. The hospice team's goal is to make the patient as comfortable as possible during his or her final days. Hospice emphasizes pain control, symptom management, natural death, and quality of life to comfort the patient's physical body.
Nearly all definitions of a "good death" respect the principle of autonomy and encourage helping an individual choose and participate in decisions about medical options at the end of life. (Autonomy is an individual's ability to control situations and circumstances). Part of the philosophy of hospice involves restoring and supporting both the patient and his or her family's control over the circumstances of death.
The hospice team cares for the dying patient wherever that patient is: at home, in a nursing home, in a hospital, or in a separate hospice facility. In addition to medical care, the hospice team may provide emotional and spiritual support, social services, nutrition counseling, and grief counseling for both the patient and loved ones.
Palliative Care
Palliative care works to achieve one of the primary goals of healthcare—relief of symptoms. Palliative care is an option for patients who are seriously or terminally ill. It focuses on achieving the best possible quality of life for a patient by emphasizing total and comprehensive care for all a patient's needs: pain and symptom management, spiritual, social, psychological, and emotional well being.
Palliative care is similar to that of hospice care. However, palliative care is not restricted to patients near the end of life and can be used in both acute and long term care settings. One similarity between hospice and palliative care is the use of an interdisciplinary team of professionals including doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, chaplains, and others to provide comprehensive care.
