Written Under The Influence Of Turkey
by Kendall Allen on Nov 30, 2:45 PM
Ever so slightly doped-up on tryptophan, I am flashing back to a particular Thanksgiving past. I believe the year was 1998. I still recall sneaking upstairs to my email after Thanksgiving dinner, checking on some mundane client business, only to discover what to this day remains the most hilarious unfurling of "reply-all" disasters I can identify.

Process Paralysis And The Need To Act Quickly (Sounds Like Fun)
by Cory Treffiletti on Nov 25, 9:51 AM
I was reading some articles and catching up over the weekend when I came across an article in the British edition of
Marketing Week
written by Jamie Matthews, who's at an agency called Initials Marketing. Matthews was writing about the shift from advertising back to marketing, which is a topic near and dear to my own heart.

Why Facebook Applications Will Soon Be History
by Joe Marchese on Nov 24, 1:15 PM
Last week, I got a lot of grief for saying that "The Widget is Dead," so this should be interesting: I am willing to bet it won't be long until Facebook, and other social networking "applications" join widgets in the marketer's "toolkit graveyard." Why? Because using Facebook Connect offers marketers more flexibility to develop more immersive experiences for application developers. Want "canary in the coal mine" proof? Consider that Zynga, the largest and most successful application on Facebook (by nearly all measures), has developed and launched its Facebook Connect powered stand alone site for Farmville, one of its most popular ...

Are You Boring Your Clients?
by Kendall Allen on Nov 23, 11:05 AM
I have been thinking lately about our industry's evergreen focus on the most typical ways agencies can find themselves suddenly out in the cold. The usual problems are the most blatant. But, while collaborating with agency client services teams during the past quarter, I've been mulling quieter, gentler crimes. Not that those agencies are guilty of any sins. But I've realized that even within the most professional, capable client services situation, things can still go off the tracks -- passively.

The Loss Of Apprenticeships Is A Tragedy
by dave.b , Max Kalehoff on Nov 20, 11:16 AM
I had breakfast earlier this week with Bug Labs CEO Peter Semmelhack, a friend who is passionate about empowering others to invent. He noted that his recent European travels underscored how apprenticeships remain a bigger part of life there versus the U.S. More important, that contrast highlighted how apprenticeships are gradually declining everywhere. While this trend is not a sudden crisis, it creates a long-term tragedy.

Time To Eliminate Vacation Policies?
by Dave Morgan on Nov 19, 4:00 PM
There was quite a stir a few months ago when an internal presentation about how Netflix manages its internal culture was leaked across the Web. Among Netflix's more unusual policies was that it does not limit the number of vacation days that its salaried employees can take. My company has been adding a number of folks lately, so the issue of vacation policy has been top of mind lately. The more we talk about it internally, the more I like the Netflix approach. Here 's why.

A Simple Prediction For 2010
by Cory Treffiletti on Nov 18, 11:15 AM
I've decided that making predictions in a climate which is so tenuous and conservative could be a futile effort.That being said, I have a sole prediction to make: next year, someone will finally bring a product to market that can prove the effect of online marketing on CPG purchases (awareness, consideration and intent) by measuring customer and/or shopper-card data.

Understanding Social Media 2.0: The Widget Is Dead
by Joe Marchese on Nov 17, 11:15 AM
The Internet was around for many years before it got its "2.0" designation. Social media has been with us for a far shorter time, and yet it has already gone through (and is still going through) a major shift that everyone in marketing and advertising must understand; maybe it's even worthy of a "2.0" designation of its own. What marketers need to understand is that the feed killed the widget. Feeds, like Facebook's news feed and Twitters status update, have made the portability of content nearly irrelevant.

How News Spreads Today: The Media-tization Of The Big Black Phone
by Kendall Allen on Nov 16, 3:39 PM
When I was a kid, a phone ringing in the middle of the night meant only one thing: breaking news. As the curious, sometimes sleepless daughter of a newspaperman, I adored the nocturnal drama. Dad would rise up, have the conversation -- and, more often than not , get dressed, jump in the car and drive into the city from our little home in Media, Pa. to the

Caskets? Great Deals At Costco
by dave.b , Max Kalehoff on Nov 13, 11:15 AM
'm not easy to market to. I'm loyal to few brands. I shun most advertising. I'm a jaded consumer. (I think these qualities make me a more effective marketer.) Which is why I love Costco, the wholesale warehouse club. But the creator of my favorite retail experience may have gone too far this time.

Submitted: 09-09-2013 by catodon
I am 5'9" tall and have a Necky Chatham 17 RM and use a fabric Sea Swift, 215 paddle. Purchased it online about a year ago and so far it has been amazing! My online order was processed and shipped within 2 days. I had the paddle 3 days after I ordered it! Amazing service!
This is a fast, strong and light paddle that has become my #1 blade. I have a high angle paddle and like to play in the chop of the Puget Sound. This thing will get you moving in a hurry and moves a ton of water. In a straight line it rocks! Great handle too, lots of adjustment so you can play with the feathering all you want. Shaft is shaped for your hand but might be a little thin for larger hands. Might want to verify diameters before you order.
It's decent at sculling and because of it's large surface area does make you fight the wind a little. The only real downside I've found is that it's nearly impossible to paddle quietly. It plops and splashes no matter how hard or easy I try to paddle with it. But if you're looking for a fast blade this is the one!

Jockey Andrew Lynch is optimistic the shoulder injury he sustained at Fairyhouse on Sunday is nothing too severe.
Lynch fell from Sizing Machine at the last fence of a two-mile-one-furlong novice handicap chase and plans to fully assess the damage later in the week.
He said: "I'm a bit tender and sore, so I'll just see how things are in a day or two.
"Hopefully it won't be anything too serious, you'd like to think not anyway."

House Democrats met Tuesday to discuss Congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal, but they did not punish the Brooklyn-Queens representative by stripping him of committee positions or ejecting him from the party caucus.
Long Island Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy said Tuesday that she was hearing Weiner might resign in "a couple of days."
She did not say where she got that information from.
Meantime, House Speaker John Boehner -- who has stayed out of the debate over Weiner's future -- was the latest high-ranking politician to weigh in on Weiner's future.
When asked by reporters Tuesday if he thought the congressman should resign, Boehner answered "yes." Speaking on NBC's "Today Show" Tuesday morning, President Barack Obama offered his thoughts on the scandal, saying it may be best for Weiner to step aside.
"Obviously what he did was highly inappropriate," said Obama. "I think he's embarrassed himself, he's acknowledged that, he's embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately there's going to be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign."
On Tuesday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained that Obama had not asked Weiner to resign, but just said that if he were in Weiner's position, he'd get out.
"I don't think the president will ever be in that situation. Nor will I be in that situation. So, it's a hypothetical," said the mayor.
Obama also suggested the distraction of the scandal over Weiner's lewd photos is keeping him from serving effectively.
Weiner's old friend and mentor, Senator Charles Schumer, was not willing to go as far.
"Those of us who have been friends with Anthony Weiner for a very long time feel his wrongful behavior is distressing, it's saddening, it's heartbreaking. Now it's clear he needs professional help. That's what he sought," said Schumer. "And that's all I'm going to say about this subject."
On Monday, the House Ethics Committee began a preliminary inquiry into Weiner's actions.
It could grow into a full investigation if Weiner ignores calls to resign.
People who spoke with NY1 outside Weiner's Queens office were split on whether he should go.
"I think his lack of judgment is so overboard that he has to resign," said one Queens resident.
"I feel it's a little unfair that the president get on his back," said another. "I think really is up to the constituents. He hasn't had sex with anyone, there have been other senators and congress people who've done worse."
The House on Monday granted Weiner's request for a leave of absence while he seeks professional help.
His wife, Huma Abedin, is on a trip with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and is due back in the country on Wednesday.
Sources said Weiner is likely waiting to speak with Abedin in person before determining his next move.

Packers take Illinois St LB Palmer
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)
The Green Bay Packers selected Illinois State linebacker Nate Palmer with the 193rd overall selection of the NFL draft on Saturday.
Palmer, 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, started all 24 of Illinois State's games over the past two seasons at defensive end. However, the Packers list Palmer as a linebacker.
Palmer registered 117 tackles, 17 sacks and 25 1/2 tackles for loss in his final two seasons and was named all-Missouri Valley Football Conference second-team selection both years. As a senior, Palmer was fourth in the conference with 7 1/2 sacks and also added 27 quarterback hurries.
After using their first three picks on Saturday on offense, the Packers dedicated the next three to the defensive side of the ball.

Faced with match point five times in the fifth game, Wauwatosa East fought off Wauwatosa West for a 19-17 win to take the WIAA Sectional Championship, 3-2, Thursday night at Whitefish Bay.
The Red Raiders took a 7-5 lead in the final game and from that point on neither team had more than a one-point lead until East scored three straight points after trailing 17-16, the last two on kills by senior captain Aaron Uden.
"I'm happy for Aaron," East coach John Simon said. "He made two errors at the end of game four that closed the game out, so it was nice that he came back to win it for us."
The Trojans won the first game, 25-20, but the Red Raiders got the momentum back by outscoring them, 10-5, down the stretch.
"I told the guys, we lost the game, but we now have the momentum," Simon said and sure enough the Raiders, dominated the next two games to win, 25-12, and 25-16.
"I was mad, the guys were mad," West coach Kyle Sikora said. "We didn't play well, we made a lot of errors in those two games."
So the Trojans batted back, trailing 2-games-to-1 and won the fourth game, 25-23, behind captains Mitch Lahmann and Alec Redlich, who would not allow the team to lose.
Then in the final game, Redlich gave the Trojans their last shot at a win, when his kill gave them a 17-16 lead. But the Trojans hit the ball out of bounds and then Uden went high in the air from the left side of the net to kills the final two points.
Tosa East will face Greendale at 5 p.m. on Friday at Wisconsin Lutheran College in the quarter-final match-up at the WIAA Boys State Volleyball Championship.

Join in the celebrations of Chinese New Year. By far the most significant festival on the calendar, the special time is celebrated by Chinese communities the world over with gift-giving, dragon dancing, parades and general merriment.As one of China's most important celebrations, families travel from near and far to reunite for Chinese New Year. Gifts are given, houses are cleaned, people cut their hair and new clothes are worn; all in an attempt to remove any of the bad luck from the previous year and make way for good luck. Look out though, it's bad luck to clean on New Year's Day itself! Wherever you are in China, you're likely to see some display of joyous celebration. Join in and have fun!

Paul Pierce Mocks LeBron James on Twitter
Categories: Sports, Twitter Mafia
From Pierce's Twitter:
Them's fighting words. Of course, we apparently do need to point out time and time again to Basketball stars that American Airlines Arena is not in South Beach. It's not even in the same city, technically.
LeBron hasn't responded directly, but yesterday he did post this telling quote on his Twitter:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Homes on London's gardens squares worth an extra 25 per cent
Around 90 per cent of the most expensive garden squares are in City of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea

Buyers are willing to pay well above local prices in and around central London's garden squares, according to new research by Hamptons International.
Its analysis of 64 squares in the capital shows that homes in a garden square setting are worth an average of £5,454,782, compared to £3,075,011 for property 200m away.
Around 90 per cent of the most expensive garden squares are situated in the London borough's of the City of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea. Since 2009, both boroughs have seen property prices on garden squares reach above 30 per cent of comparable properties nearby.
"Those purchasing property within London's garden squares are enticed not only for the shared amenity, but for the kudos that is associated with such a historic and coveted residential oasis in the heart of the capital," said Johnny Morris, Head of Research at Hamptons International.
"The prestige that comes with a home within a communal garden square setting attracts both domestic and international buyers, with many squares being internationally-recognised as the finest and most sought after examples of British architecture."
Open Garden Squares Weekend runs today and tomorrow around London. More details at www.opensquares.org

My Daughter dropped off the U-haul after hours. This was easy. I received a receipt promptly the next morning, It added some ease to the moving process.
he was very understanding and was willing to go the extra mile!!! Thank you
I had been scheduled for two different trucks at two different locations. When I finally got it fixed they gave me a $10 discount and a full day but the truck was 30 minutes away from where I had originally asked.
Excellent customer service!
Had to call them to find the location.
Better sign usage to help locate them.
I originally reserved a truck from the Calico Cow here in Columbia, TN. They had only one truck, which had been returned overnight and was extremely muddy. The people at this rental location said they would call another Uhaul dealer that would have a comparable truck. When I called to confirm, I was told that the first rental place had not called, but only changed the order online with a truck that was much larger than I needed. The person I talked to at this second rental was VERY helpful, and found a third rental place with the truck I needed. However, this delay lost me time that I needed to move my belongings and inconvenienced people who we're helping me to move.
No improvement needed, they were very helpful, and nice.
I can't comment on the drop off location because, despite my calling Uhaul and two separate occasions and being assured they were opened 9 -5 on Sunday; they were closed when I arrived and I had to unhitch the trailer myself. Uhaul should have known better and I specifically asked twice if they were sure it was opened on Sunday.
Very professional and very helpful.
Very nice man. He answered all my questions about renting a truck. He made sure the truck was safe for me to drive a long distance. Thank you to everyone.
Very friendly fast and correct service
The Owner/ Manager was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful..We were glad we used U-Haul for our move..

Yes...long story, but I will say she was a t-girl, not a drag queen. Still blew my mind...she was stunningly beautiful & feminine
My story was I chased her for 3 months thinking she was 100% female. She worked as a bar maid & hostess and a high end restaurant and I went there every Saturday night for 3 months just to be around her. She was so sweet & beautiful she gave me goose bumps just looking at her. She finally invited me to her apartment for a couple drinks...SURPRISE!
Not one of my most brilliant moments...
Most of the time it is apparent. BlessedOne: Live and let live. Be gentle. "Queens" are people too.
not yet, what happened?
Dats funny. :P
wait a minute? I'm confused. You are a woman. a straight woman who got confused that you had a crush on a drag queen? Isn't a drag queen a man who dresses up as a woman? If you are straight, why did you have a crush on someone you thought was a woman? - just asking...
Oh. OK. it sounded different from the way it was written...
That is different. I have no problem with Transgenders, but if they are trying to deceive you that is unfair
sorry for the confusion. I was answering the question. I did not see the replies

Pineapple, Cucumber, and Jalapeño Juice
This combo, served at Moon Juice in Los Angeles, is prized for its anti-inflammatory properties. Pineapple makes it palatable for green-juice newbies.
Southwestern Pork and Pumpkin Stew
This recipe comes from the November 1989 issue and is part of our Thanksgiving Hall of Fame series. Pork and pumpkin plus spicy chorizo sausage, hominy and jalapeño make this stew a standout. Freshly toasted and ground cumin adds fragrance and flavor.
Migas Fried Rice
Jaew is a tart, smoky dipping sauce from Thailand, usually served with grilled meats and sausages. Hot Joy chef Quealy Watson takes it to a Tex-Mex place in this eggy, cheesy rice dish that might remind you of nachos (it works). Watch the step-by-step video here.
Charred Romaine with Tomatillo Dressing
Charred to a crisp: Not a statement usually associated with salads, but delicious nonetheless in this Mexican-inspired romaine number from Rose's Luxury.
Lemongrass-Seafood Stew
We've said it before and we'll say it again: When seafood gets top billing, it has to be top quality. Don't even attempt this stew from Rose's Luxury with less-than-stellar stuff.
Marinated Tofu with Peanuts and Charred Bean Sprouts
"At home I cook quick, healthy and vegetarian," says chef Peter Serpico, Serpico, Philadelphia. Cue this soy-and-ginger-marinated tofu (no cooking required!) that tastes way better than takeout.
Watermelon Gazpacho with Feta Crema
A super-juicy watermelon is key; it should feel heavy for its size and sound hollow when tapped.

North Country hopes snow extends winter season
"We're thrilled," Jackson Ski Touring Foundation employee Raetha Stoddard said Tuesday afternoon, noting the new snow will make the skiing "delicious."
Inside the Jackson center, Adrian Rawn of Portsmouth said: "You have to enjoy it, right?"
Rawn said she was in the Mount Washington Valley on business, but took time out to go snowshoeing. "We'll take it, one last hurrah."
Farther north, Keith Landry, director of the Pittsburg Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club, noted that 90 percent of the 2013 trail network is open, though inlets to First Connecticut Lake and Lake Francis have begun to open up.
"Hopefully Mother Nature gives us some snow from this round so we can extend the spring riding season," Landry wrote on the club's website.
The folks at Bretton Woods ski area declared spring officially on hold, adding an enthusiastic "Woo Hoo!" to the ski resort's Facebook posting.
The bears at Clark's Trading Post recently woke up and had their first meals of the year.
That's a reminder to homeowners everywhere that bears wake up very hungry, and those bird feeders are like fast food outlets to them. New Hampshire Fish and Game recommends residents take down the birdfeeders by April 1.
The thinning of the ice as far north as Pittsburg is a reminder, too, that's it's just about time to get those bob houses off the ice.

Dear Mary,
All the presents you did are beautiful. I like them all very much. The sock monkey is so cute! I am sure your goddaughter will be convinced to wear socks from now on, hahaha!!
Take care and see your next project soon!!
Take care,
Patience, persistence and love are the main ingredients for wonderful knittings.
Hi Mary,
Your monkey is really cute and cheerful. Love your socks too! He looks like he is so proud of your work! ha ha
And all the women who were wise of heart spun with their hands, and they kept bringing as yarn the blue thread and the wool dyed reddish purple, the coccus scarlet material and the fine linen. Ex. 35:25
Hi All,
Just a little quick hat using cotton and some scraps left over from my wrap. I was in a "cooky" mood, the cotton has nothing to do with the wool but I used it anyway. Not trying to make a fashion statement. I'll probably give it away or use on cool early morning walks, when the joggers are running by they won't really see me. Just keeping hands busy while waiting and doing numerous errands. You know how "wait" time is not especially my fav thing. Now I am really going back to my Racerback. Yeah!
Your hat is adorable! Love the colors. It makes me think of summer.
Dear ZassZ,
Your hat is beautiful. I like the composition you did about the edge and the body of the hat. The yarn matching is a little funny but you'll be warm at the top and cool from the rest of the head. It is a "zone hat", hahaha!!
Good you are back to the racer. I am finishing the thumb, at last! Then... the weaving ends. I can't manage to fix the gaps between the fingers. I am so sad.
Enjoy your day!
Hi Merlich,
Thank you it is a little different! I remember a little tip for those gaps in between the fingers. If you can try to take some excess yarn and weave them in between to fill in? That's about all I can think of at the moment. You are an excellent knitter so I am sure it will be fine whichever way you do finish them up. Don't let it get you down, maybe put aside and go back after dinner and you are relaxed.
It's been a quiet day so far, and I hope you are all having a good one too. x0x0x0x0x
How are you doing? I hope you are still happy with your gardening project? I can't wait to hear more about what you did. Take care and all of you enjoy the day. x0x0x0x0
Hello there Janet,
Thanks for your complement. And how are you doing with your lunch hour knitting projects? I would love to hear what your on to now. I was just reading back a bit re your sock monkey pattern. I think I may try one in the near future, since I am going to need some knitted toys for the new arrivals.
Take care and hope to hear from you again soon!
Thank you, you are always encouraging me! Yes, I tried to weave in the ends from the front to the back of each finger and now it worked out. The first time I did on the previous pair of this same pattern, I weaved in the ends aflat; that is why the gaps remained. But, I figured out. Until this very moment, I am reading your post. If I had read it last night, I would have finished earlier, hahaha!!! Thank you very much!!
Here it is the pic. The hat was made with a different yarn from the one I used to knit the gloves. The hat was knitted with a 100 % acrylic yarn and, the topless gloves were knitted with a 50% acrylic - 50% wool yarn. Both in black.
They are knitted in stockinette stitch, very, very simple; the hat with a hemmed edge.
ZassZ, there you are... the pic as you requested! So, everybody can see what I was trying to do: no gap gloves!
Send you lots of XOXOXO!!
Have a nice day!!
Hello Everybody!!
Thanks for the compliments on the monkey and sock sets. Hopefully this will get my goddaughter to wear socks, however I won't know till after the 15th of next month. As for other news, I am no longer mother of the bride. The kids called off the wedding. Even so, I gave the gloves to my daughter and she absolutely loved them. I will also be giving her the shawl when i get it finished. Which by the way, is almost finished. I have 8 of 10 repeats for the body done which leaves me about 56 rows left to finish it.
Merlich, the gloves and hat look great. I like the dark blue. You did a great job. Oh, the more gloves and mitts you make, the better you will get at stitching up the gaps. Keep experimenting with different methods until you find one you like.
ZassZ, I love the hat. I would so wear that hat. Never mind what anyone says about it, if you like it, wear it. Life's too short to worry about what other people think. Wear it with pride, You did a great job and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Just a couple pics. I finally made it off the hill and into my favorite yarn shop, The Whole Ball of Yarn in The Dalles, Oregon. I picked up some new yarn for lace making. It is Uluru by Queensland Yarns. It is a Cotton blend with no wool, so I can make something for my sister in law for her birthday. She is horribly allergic to wool. The other is The Fountain Pen Shawl in progress. The pattern is from Interweave Knits, Spring 2009 issue.

What a pity the wedding was cancelled. I hope Angel is feeling well. She is very young; she has lot of time to do whatever she wants. Fortunatelly, she liked the wedding gloves and she'll have the wedding shawl ready for any moment she'll need it; it looks very pretty.
Thank you for your compliments on my accesories. Yes, I'll keep on brushing up the closing of the gaps.
I love the yarn you showed us in the pic. It looks so cuddly, soft and beautiful colours! I am sure your sister in law will love what you'll knit for her birthday present.
Thank you for everything! Send Angel my best wishes, please! Hugs and kisses too!
Enjoy your knitting!
Hi Mary,
Wow, love your yarn! Whatever you use it in will surely be very nice. What shape is the Fountain Pen shawl you have started above? I can see this is going to be another beautiful one.
Yes, Merlich's set is very nice and she did a great job on getting those ladders taken care of. Thank you for the words on my hat - I really do love it! If you would wear it then it must be ok! Thanks again. We were truly saddened to hear re the plans. Maybe they are just on "hold for now" and will work it out a little later. I do hope so and if not, then I know you will help her the best way you can to get thru this time. We support you anyway we can. Sometimes it's the qualities that are revealed after a storm that gives the strength to enable one to rebuild.
Hope you have a peaceful evening Mary and rest well. So glad you got to your fav yarn shop. That is always gives us a boost.
Dear Merlich,
Angel is doing okay. When I went to town, I spent most of the day with her and took her to lunch. It was great.
As for the shawl, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It is almost done! Yay!!!! Then I can get back to projects for myself that I have started or dug the yarn out for. The Carefree Cover Up from the Spring 2013 Issue of Creative Knitting, the Cap Sleeve top from the Spring 2013 Issue of Debbie Bliss magazine and the Tie Back Tank top from the Spring\Summer 2013 Issue of Vogue Knitting. And in between all that, more socks!
Back to the dishes!
Ravenwood Designs.
In answer to your question, the shawl is triangular. It starts at the center top and works down and out. Right now I have it on my 24" cables with the stops and I think I may have to switch to the 42" cables before I'm done. That is one of the things I love about my interchangeables. I can switch cables as I need the room for stitches. Oh, if you are curious, the needles are the Harmony Laminated Birch from Knit Picks.
I am glad Angel is doing well. Don't leave her alone. The first days are the most difficult ones. I do not what happened, but I know breaking with someone is very hard. How are you? How are you feeling? It is very sad to see our little ones suffer; we suffer with them too!
I am happy for you about the shawl! I am looking forward to seeing it soon!
What a wonderful thing you have a big queue of projects to do. I have a big queue of UFO's. My hub has suggested me to be done with those projects before I buy new yarn and leave them again unattended. I don't know. I'll see what they are. I can't remember how many they are, hahaha!
Enjoy your knitting and take care!
Hi all,
Your hat and gloves are great Merlich, I especially like the gloves, nice and long.
Mary, So sorry to hear the wedding was called off, but glad the gloves went down well just the same.
I have had a dose of the flu, and still feel a bit yucky - I am in the process of knitting a lot of pocket teddy bears to go in with the dresses my church is making to send abroad. Still slowly working through the chess set (slowly being the operative word)
Take care everyone.

April Giangeruso: Ballerina From the Get-Go
By Laura Di Orio of Dance Informa.
At age five, Capezio Athlete April Giangeruso saw a production of American Ballet Theatre (ABT)'s Swan Lake at the Kennedy Center and could not wait to be a ballerina. That dream has pushed her along through her journey from her first ballet classes at a local studio in Ellicott City, Maryland, to training at the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington, D.C., and all the way, full-circle, to her current status as a member of the corps de ballet with ABT. Even her after-career plans involve ballet: she hopes to operate her own studio one day. Giangeruso proves that dreams can come true.
Prior to her days at ABT, Giangeruso also trained with Valentina Kozlova at the Dance Conservatory of New York and at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at ABT. She joined ABT's Studio Company in 2008 and then ABT in 2010. Here, Giangeruso offers a little insight on that journey, her fondest dance memory and even a tidbit of advice.
When did you realize you wanted to pursue life as a ballerina? Along the way, did you ever have any doubts?
"I pretty much knew from the very beginning of taking ballet class that I wanted to be a ballerina. Every time I entered a dance studio, I didn't want to leave and would practically beg my mom to take me to the studio! I never had doubts; I always knew I wanted to be a ballerina."
What made you want to dance with ABT?
"ABT was always my dream company. They have the best, most inspiring dancers in the world and get to perform at the Metropolitan Opera. Also, the world touring that ABT does fits in with my love of traveling, and getting to see the world doing what you love is even more special! Lastly, New York City is close to my family in Maryland, so it makes it easy to spend time with them as well."
What is your favorite part about dancing with ABT, and what have been your favorite roles to perform so far?
"My favorite part about dancing with ABT is seeing all the insanely talented dancers around me. Also, there is very supportive camaraderie amongst the dancers, which makes coming to work every day all the more special. My favorite role so far has probably been dancing in Alexei Ratmansky's Firebird. It's such a magical, and both technically and artistically challenging, ballet."
What has been your fondest memory during your time with the company?
"My fondest memory dancing with the company was touring to Muscat, Oman. Not only was the opera house majestic, but we also had a lot of time to explore the country."
Who is your dance idol, and why?
"Julie Kent is my idol. Her artistry is so ethereal, and she is such a beautiful person on and off stage. She is one of the reasons I began dancing."
What Capezio shoes do you wear?
"I wear Capezio Elans. I love how comfortable and ready-to-wear my shoes are. They are very supportive, and the shape is pleasing to the eye."
What do you like to do in your spare time, when not dancing?
"I love to spend time with my friends, and on breaks I teach a lot or try to guest dance."
What do you think you'll do once you retire from performing?
"I love teaching and would like to possibly have my own school one day."
What advice do you have for aspiring professional ballerinas?
"Listen, listen, listen! Take in everything around you and try to learn everything you can about the roles you are performing."

Why Activists Shut Down Interstate 35W
A list of murdered people that was too long to finish reading, a push for a livable wage, both components of a long day of activism on the streets and interstates of Minneapolis.
Panelists who gathered to discuss a KSTP-TV story that came to be known as Pointergate agreed it should have never aired as it did. KSTP's story said a photo of Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges showed her flashing gang signs while doing a get-out-the-vote drive on the city's north side. Star Tribune Managing Editor of Operations Duchesne Drew said once Hodges' office told KSTP-TV that the mayor was simply pointing, that should have been the end of the story.
"It isn't a valid story," Drew told journalists and members of the public gathered at the University of Minnesota Cowles Auditorium on Monday night. "And it isn't the kind of story that speaks well of us as a profession or is helpful for beginning to talk about very real issues like gang violence."
Drew said the problem was not so much the initial story that KSTP-TV did, but the follow-up stories that continued to draw a connection between the mayor's pointing gesture and gang violence.
"When you realize that you've made a mistake, you correct it. It's, really, we're here not because they made a mistake — but because they kept holding to it. Right?"
The other person in the photo with Hodges was Navell Gordon, a man working with Neighborhoods Organizing For Change (NOC) who happens to be black. NOC organizer Anthony Newby agreed the story should have never aired. "Navell isn't a gang member, hasn't been a gang member. There's no evidence of any gang activity. That's also true of other folks on our staff. So this was not a story."
"A Hit Piece" (more…)
A list of murdered people that was too long to finish reading, a push for a livable wage, both components of a long day of activism on the streets and interstates of Minneapolis.
"Hate mongering", "despicable" and "absurd" are some of the words Governor Mark Dayton used to describe the tactics used trying to stop a policy allowing transgendered male students to play on girls teams.
Local journalists have called on KSTP-TV to disavow its "Pointergate" story calling it "fundamentally flawed and based on a faulty premise — that a silly gesture made by the mayor in a candid photo amounted to a gang sign." This is a panel discussion with journalists and the public about that story. KSTP-TV sent a letter, but opted not to send a representative to the panel.

Short-Term Stability in Sinai Will Exacerbate Tensions for EgyptтАЩs Next President
The May 26-27 election for EgyptтАЩs next president is all but certain to result in a resounding victory for retired Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the former defense minister, who ousted the Muslim BrotherhoodтАЩs Mohamed Morsi last July.
The Sisi campaign has opted not to issue a policy platform, enabling its candidate to be all things to all people. SisiтАЩs own statements acknowledge the challenges Egypt faces with its economic, energy, development, and employment sectors; however neither he nor his team has laid out a clear, measurable vision for addressing these problems. SisiтАЩs slogan may be тАЬLong live Egypt,тАЭ but unofficially the message is тАЬIтАЩll do what has to be done.тАЭ
As such, the life-long military man will be elected with a clear mandate to secure stability in Sinai, through any means necessary. Addressing EgyptтАЩs energy crisis and cash crunch will require tough decisions, each of which is sure to ruffle vocal segments of society. As it did last summer, however, EgyptтАЩs population is likely to tolerate тАУ if not vocally support тАУ a continuation of the crackdown Egyptian forces have conducted in North Sinai over the past few months.
Sisi and other Egyptian military leaders have justified the slow pace of stabilizing the peninsula by noting their desire тАЬto avoid civilian casualties.тАЭ However, there is little actual reporting out of Sinai and the general population seems to prefer to remain unaware of the situation. Suggestions that perhaps 200 or 280 civilians have been killed in military operations тАУ let alone the number of detained individuals тАУ have only been covered in Brotherhood-sympathetic outlets, and the figures have not been verified. North Sinai is generally a closed military zone to journalists, and Sisi himself told newspaper editors that they should not be тАЬscaring people.тАЭ
If тАЬmainlandтАЭ Egyptians do not care what happens in Sinai, the international community has signaled that it does care: it wants stability, and quickly. The US government, which has a strong relationship with the Egyptian military, regularly laments Egyptian policies it sees as counterproductive to a democratic transition. The US administration, however, praises Egyptian military operations in the Sinai. Even if US officials do privately raise concerns about indiscriminate use of airpower, the decision to release ten Apache helicopters тАУ held since the summer тАУ to the Egyptian military sends the message, тАЬKeep up the good work.тАЭ
With Egyptians distracted by their own problems in Cairo and other population centers, and with the United States not discouraging the developments, under the likely presidential victor Sisi, the Sinai Peninsula will face a quick reconstitution of the security state that existed prior to the 2011 uprising.
In the short term, repressive tactics can work to quiet the Sinai and halt Salafi-jihadists from using Sinai to launch attacks west of the Suez Canal. It has been almost four months since SinaiтАЩs Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis has claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack outside the peninsula, following тАЬunprecedentedтАЭ military raids that begin in late January.
Even if one ignores the human rights and rule of law issues involved, however, such a crackdown is certain to result in blowback in the medium- to long-term. After all, this is what happened during the 2011 uprising: before the revolution provided the opportunity for vengeance, crackdowns in response to the bombings of tourist resorts from 2004-2006 produced five years of relative quiet in Sinai. While capturing violent actors is necessary for stabilizing Sinai, harsh treatment of the broader Sinai population will exacerbate support for such anti-state violence, and that support will simmer below the surface as long as the peninsulaтАЩs legitimate political and developmental grievances go unmet.
Sisi recognizes the need for development assistance in Sinai; but he is not the first Egyptian presidential candidate to pledge attention to SinaiтАЩs needs. Given other concerns about EgyptтАЩs economy and stability, neither Egyptians nor the international community pay much attention to Sinai. To them, it is a security problem and they just want Sisi to take care it. In the short-term, he will.

Business Leaders: Are You Listening? Or Just Talking?This post is by Dave Kerpen, co-founder and CEO of Likeable, an award-winning social media agency, and author of New York Times Bestseller, Likeable Social Media and the new book Likeable Business. Listening is an essential, yet often overlooked aspect of business communication. Entrepreneurs and senior executives are naturally filled with ideas, and it's our nature to want to share those ideas with others. But great leaders over time learn to talk less and listen more. There are many benefits of listening. Listening allows the executive to:
- Better understand customer and employee needs. By listening to what your team thinks, without your own agenda, you'll be able to understand what they want and need.
- Help stakeholders feel heard, which makes them more committed to the mission at hand. Everybody wanted to feel heard, and valued. Even if you never use a single idea your staff or Board share with you, they'll feel better about you and the organization just from your listening.
- Gain a better understanding of what's really going at your organization. Sometimes the only wait to get insight is to sit back and focus on paying attention. The higher up in your organization you are, the more important this is.
- Get access to new ideas and perspectives. Who knows – the intern or woman in the mailroom just may have an idea for your next product line that you've never thought of!

AVB perturbed by Townsend call
Andre Villas-Boas is annoyed with Roy Hodgson for not consulting him over Andros Townsend's England call-up.
– Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas
I was surprised (when he [Townsend] was called up)," the Tottenham manager said.
I would like to give you a little bit more information but the fact (is) that I wasn't contacted in any way or form by Roy Hodgson regarding the player call-up.
I would have preferred to give my opinion on the fact that he gets called up so soon.

That's how the true G's get schwasty.
Get the point across when you wear the Altamont Repeated T-Shirt, even if you don't have a microphone. You can spit mad rhymes over bass beats in front of a worthy audience when necessary. But for now, you'd rather remain the best undiscovered rapper in the city, as you watch the kids make fools of themselves on stage and sip champagne through a straw.
