VolunteerMatch opens up
Volunteermatch.org, by far one of the best "matchmaking" websites online for helping nonprofit organizations find volunteers by matching up user preferences with organizational needs – is opening up its network for public access.
What does this mean? According to Allyson Kapin at FrogLoop, it means that VolunteerMatch will be able to have even greater positive impact by enabling third parties (social networks and widget-makers) to access their data and ultimately make volunteer opportunities accessible in a variety of ways.
This is a very good thing.

Giant LEGO Mario Mushrooms: L-up
LEGO enthusiast Dirk aka dm_meister built pumpkin-sized versions of the mushroom power-ups from the Mario games. There's the red Super Mushroom, the blue Mini Mushroom and the green 1-up Mushroom. Each model is made of almost 3,000 bricks and weighs 10lb. And they have eyes… holy crap I just realized Mario eats living creatures.
Here's a closer look at the mushrooms:
Here's a time-lapse video of Dirk making the Super Mushroom:
Dirk said he'll upload a more helpful video with CGI building instructions. Keep an eye on his YouTube channel for that one. Meanwhile, you can check out more of his MOCs on his Flickr page.

Nice variety. I still like that soil! |
Thanks for the encouraging and positive feedback -- much appreciated! The plants will be going into the ground later this week, and I will have to find afternoon shade for the variegated ones in this climate. |

I found this non-partisan study very interesting.
New Study Finds Humans May Have Some Capacity For Compassion
TUCSON, AZ. A University of Arizona study published this week in the American Journal Of Sociology suggests that some adult humans may occasionally feel compassion, a trait scientists have long considered beyond the capacity of the species. "A small percentage of the roughly 900 subjects we observed seemed at times to exhibit genuine empathy toward another person experiencing either psychological or physical pain," said the study's lead author, Dr. Benjamin Trumble, who later added that these individuals did not appear as though they were looking to gain anything from their compassionate reactions, but, to the surprise of researchers, were simply concerned about another person's well-being. "Of course, we'll need to conduct further tests to rule out the possibility that these demonstrations weren't the result of statistical noise or the expression of some sort of very, very rare genetic mutation." The study also reaffirmed previous research indicating that 95 percent of individuals are capable of convincingly feigning compassion. |

Elly, how funny and how provocative. These librul profs will stop at nothing to put down conservative yahoos' demands for personal responsibility and no sex before marriage. |
got to love the Onion particularly the way they do it at Kwan Yin dumpling house!~ |
I feel that most people have some level of compassion, although many times it's misplaced or offset by ignorance or frustration. |
Well, we know that conservatives are compassionate with their charitable giving. We know that liberals are compassionate, they always want to give you the shirt off someone else's back. |
oink |
Wonder if they used a "label maker", from the few responses here I would guess yes. What size do you wear MrsK ? I mean if I am going to give away your shirt I should know what size it is, or are you one who wears "one size fits all" ? From your comment, I would guess yes :) |

The study also reaffirmed previous research indicating that 95 percent of individuals are capable of convincingly feigning compassion. And this thread will prove that! |
omg ohiomom, that was a joke, but I forget that liberals don't have much of a sense of humor...at least I should know that from reading this forum. btw...I'm a fatty..size 10..but I've already given mine away. |
omg mrskjun, this liberal without "much of a sense of humor" sure finds it humorous that you took a satirical piece, didn't check the link, and then made snide comments about liberal compassion and lack of humor. I posted this to see who bothers to read links and who twists things to get partisan. Bazinga! |
I read your link elly...and don't think you see anything as humorous. |
And again: Bazinga. |
I think more research needs be done with a larger sample. It should be double blind, with placebos too. :) |
How insulting calling me a librule, puh leasssssze! I am a republican meat puppet, a left test anarcho fly trap! I do like flys levi 501's mnnn A Homolectual a rabble trouser! |
Is commiepassion a Russian plot is a sensayuma obligatory when trying to avoid a partisan ship? All these questions and more will be answered when you sign up for the Donald Rumsfeld daily podcast "unknown knowns". |
But, Elly, don't we really already know? Bazinga! ;-) And, Marshallz... would you really buy a car without test driving it first, to see how it handled? |
inkognito, just now you sounded like the poster I shall not name, you know, the one with that disoriented, rambling, jibberish thing going on. That's not like you; normally you sound very rational. What was that, dare I ask? |
Probably his nephew. ROTF! |
Demi, why are you rolling on the floor? |
I do it for Labrea. Private Joke. :) * I have found that people have different definitions of compassion and that it is therefore, subjective. |
Lol roll Demi roll tear it up have a good time! Oh Elvis stawwwwp being coy a poster who shall remain nameless tskkkkkk! Can' t even enjoy a little jabber wonky! Amazing sown thing from the onion is sooooo serious! |

Mrskjun is pleasantly fullsome...who the heck wants to cuddle a stick in size 4? |
I looked at a Doctor in the Hospital the other day what are you a 1 or a 0...she was a 1 on a good day! EWWWWW! Skeletor! I had compassion for her lack of good chocolate |
I comfort myself knowing that Marilyn Monroe was a size 10, and I'd still rather look like that than Twiggy. lol |
There are now making sample sizes now in the negatives, something all good little actresses and models are currently striving for. Size 0-1 as the perfect size is so 2010! So I've been told anyway, I do hope my friend is incorrect. I think if a woman was built like Marilyn MOnroe today, she would fit in today's current size of 6 or perhaps 8 on a bloated day. They have dramatically down sized the up sizes of yesteryear. The tactic sells more clothes that way. Seriously. |
When it comes right down to it, though, Labrea... a lot of things are subjective. Who the hell do they make size 1 clothing for? I've never been anywhere NEAR a size 1... not even as a teenager! Some women might think anorexia is a good look, but I think if you took a real survey, you'd find that most guys like a little meat stretched over the bones. Of course, there's a difference between normal feminine curvy, and obese... |
I doubt that any hetro male (and maybe could convert a few non-hetros too *LOL*) would turn down Eva Mendes! And that is one *very* gorgeous, very curvey woman who is not in any way even plump. But she is probably "thicker" than most actresses wish to be. |

Former "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka will be invading your TV sets yet again ... except this time, there's a script.
According to Us Magazine, Pavelka will be guest starring on the Lifetime show "Drop Dead Diva."
He won't have to practice too hard to nail his role though -- he'll playing a single guy on a dating show.
Jake begins taping June 18 -- and his episode airs August 22.
Darlene Murray: 1681 days ago
He is a phony and so unappealing. I won't watch a show he is on.
PBurk: 1681 days ago
Jake is such a jerk and a phony. Why would any tv station want him to act on their show. He was horrible on DWTS. Girls, stay away from him. Let's watch him fall on his face during his short lived acting career. He is so pathetic. To top it off, he's nothing to look at. As far as Vienna, she is totally brain dead. Let's get this crap off television.
kathy watts: 1681 days ago
Jake is a loser - less of Jake would be more.
Joyce: 1681 days ago
I think Jake is a doll, however I think he made a mistake in choosing Vienna in the end of the show.
dd: 1681 days ago
How can Jake take so much time off from work? and I am so glad that Ali or Tenley didn't get hooked up with him. There is a reason he is single.
Joyce: 1681 days ago
About Jake taking time off from his job as a pilot. That is how movie stars are made. Do you think Lana Turner should have stayed with her job as a soda jerk?
syndi sender: 1680 days ago
So terribly boring, boring and more boring.
Jake only likes the trampy girls. Brains, professional and intellect isn't what he wants. It's like he is one gender in another gender's body. So confusing. Poor thing!
ABC - no more Jake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've all had more than enough of him!!!
cs: 1680 days ago
I've had enough of Jake the fake: he is milking his experience to the hilt. Vienna was a poor choice, but its good he chose her over Tenley...she was much too good for him. Lets move on, and hope Ali sees him for who he truly is and doesn't let him rain on her parade.
Alice: 1680 days ago
This guy is a real jerk. He is so impressed with himself as evident on Dancing W/Stars...what grown man starts to cry like he did. He needs to get over himself...the best thing out of this was that Ali did not end up with this conceded, self-righteous phony of a man.
kinda: 1680 days ago
Well now he is free to pursue Kate Gosselin ... Here's the new show "Jake & Kate + Eight". LOL, now that would be a very interesting program. They deserve each other.
matt: 1680 days ago
Get a clue people- a great worked out body, good looking manicured metrosexual, and look how old he is without ever getting hitched to a girl for real! ??? My GAYdar antenna is whirling .....GAY GAY GAY Jake! There IS a reason he IS single! Too bad "Queer as Folk" is over. He could 'act' on that show and finally be real!
Ginny : 1680 days ago
I hope he hasn't quit his day job. His claim to fame is sad because he has NO talent.
Judy: 1680 days ago
I hate that Vienna got her heart broken........I think she is just young and nieve. Ali was really the mean girl on Bachelor and Tenley was weird and couldn't stop talking about her ex.
I hope Jake fades into oblivion. He is fake and boring. I actually hope Vienna gets something good out of this.
me: 1680 days ago
Used to like him ....now.....I want to throw up when I see that stupid smile!
Sons' Mom: 1680 days ago
Yes, Jake made a huge mistake in choosing Vienna. I agree he would have gotten more votes on DWTS from the "Bachelor" audience if he hadn't been engaged....However, folks, give him a break! I can't understand all the hateful remarks about this young man. Give him a second chance---he may surprise you by his acting ability. I wish him the very best. God bless you, Jake, and I hope you find your future wife with the same Christian character and qualities you have!

From BMA Knowledge Base
Selecting the right agency is no different from successful performance in your company's other operations. Yet few executives do it often enough to achieve even minimum competence. However, some simple, common sense approaches, will help you do it efficiently.
Do You Need to Switch? Sometimes it's smarter to solve problems with your existing agency, since both you and the agency have made major investments in the relationship.
Would changing 1-2 key people, correct the problems, saving the knowledge of other team members? A heart-to-heart talk with your account executive or agency principals may be all that's needed.
If you must switch, determine what went wrong and why. Identify ways the agency's performance fell short. Identify problems your company caused or exacerbated. Be brutally honest. Plan ways to prevent similar problems through a better selection process, or better day-to-day procedures. If you don't, you're certain to repeat the same problems with your new agency.
The Electrician Can't Fix the Plumbing
Next, identify the specific attributes you seek in priority order. Build the rest of the process around finding the agency which matches up best.
Agencies will claim they're skilled at a wide range of activities. Some are, but none is equally adept at everything. Make sure they prove their expertise through recent client work, and provide client references.
Which attributes are most important? Your first reaction will probably be "creative." But what's most important varies from company to company. Perhaps you value strong marketing and strategic skills, or specific market experience. For others, media negotiating or media planning may be at the top of the list. Or you might favor integration of a full-range of communications activities.
BIG vs.small
It's nice to be a big fish, but your needs may overwhelm an agency that's too small. It may not be able to provide the total package of services and skills you need. A larger agency usually offers broader skills and services, but you may be relatively unimportant, and therefore find it hard to get their attention, let alone their best people.
Who Should be Involved?
A small committee is usually more effective, more relevant and less political. Limit yours to 1) the person who will work with the agency day-to-day, 2) that person's boss, 3) the head of marketing (if different) and, 4) the CEO or GM.
The person with the most agency contact should be charged with culling agencies to a reasonable number, distributing information to them, and facilitating the selection process. The weight of each person's vote will vary from company to company, but the people who will work with the agency on a frequent basis should have an important voice in the decision.
Before the Word's on the Street
It's finally time to start talking. Make the first call to your current agency. Tell them you're conducting a review and why. If they will be seriously considered, tell them. If not, thank them and tell them you'll be naming a new agency. And, don't do them the "courtesy" of involving them unless they have a real chance. Don't try to hide the review. Chances are they'll find out anyway.
Too Many Agencies, Too Little Time
Most companies interview too many agencies. They think saying "we talked to 42 agencies" makes them look thorough and important. In fact, a "cattle call" is an almost certain sign of an amateur who hasn't done the necessary homework or someone looking to impress management.
Well-managed reviews rarely include more that 6-8 agencies. Do your homework and narrow the field before serious conversations. Visit Web sites. Ask knowledgeable friends, colleagues, media reps and vendors for their suggestions. If some names pop up repeatedly, give them a closer look.
Informal discussions with more agencies is OK, but limit RFPs or questionnaires to serious contenders. RFPs often take dozens to hundreds of hours to answer. Don't waste the agency's time, or yours, unless there's a better than fair chance the agency might be selected.
The Interview
Invite the select few for an exhaustive interview. Before the meeting, tell them precisely what you expect from them, in qualifications and in the meeting. Be sure your questions really work at finding who meets your priorities.
Your team's chemistry with the agency is important. Before a good relationship can occur, you must like and trust the agency and WANT to work with them. Never hire an agency you aren't excited about, because they scored highest on a scale. If you don't like them now, you probably won't like them any better in a year.
To "Spec" or Not To "Spec"
Many clients ask for speculative creative presentations. In most cases, it's a waste of time. It's extremely rare that agencies are able to get enough background to produce meaningful work. "Spec work" is scarcely ever produced. But agencies generally feel they have to do it, if asked. There may be times when "spec" makes sense. Perhaps if the agency has little experience in your market or related businesses. Or, if TV is important, and one or more agencies have little TV experience. In short - make sure there's a good reason to ask the agency to submit speculative work. And if you do, provide lots of information, and a limited scope to the project, so the agency's efforts can be meaningful and on-target.
The Long and Winding Road
The selection of an agency is a grueling, expensive process for the agency and the client. Don't subject yourself or a group of agencies to it unless you truly seek a partner for the long-term. If you need only short-term project help, you can find an agency to help. But the process, and your expectations of agencies should be much different.
Finally, make a commitment to the agency you hire. The cost, the learning curve and the disruption of your program make this absolutely necessary. Good client/agency relationships are like a good marriage. They require respect and effort from both sides.
