Partners forSimplicity.Silipint
Running a lifestyle business in Bend is a dream come true
for Rick Fredland. A rock climber, inventor and entrepreneur, Fredland found
his calling with the 2010 launch of Silipint - and he recently found a new small
business-oriented banking partner in Larry Snyder, our Central Oregon Area
Manager. Many small business owners talk about the point when business gets in the way of the
entrepreneurial spirit - when the reason why you started your business takes a back
seat to the necessity of numbers and margins. At some point, the passion fades.
Rick recalls his former career as a corporate Customer Service Manager at one
of the most premier and popular outdoor apparel companies in the world. He
loved the sleek, no-frills gear and the care in which they treated their
customers. But, he can point directly to the moment the company changed.
Suddenly the word "service" was replaced with "sales" and the gear accumulated
unnecessary and non-functional fashion over
performance stylings. "Don't get me wrong, I know sales are important!" Fredland
states, "but I need to love coming to work. It can't be a fake experience. At
the end of the day, I produce a widget. But what I really want is to build a
culture, a lifestyle, and a business. That is why company culture hiccups
bother me more than business errors." It's
also why Silipint is based in Bend, a rapidly growing entrepreneurial community.
Even though shipping and distribution costs to Central Oregon can be higher,
the lifestyle and cultural opportunities in Bend make the sacrifice totally worth
it to Fredland. Fredland and Silipint own the patent on their silicone
drinkware. His team, made up of a former lumber salesman, a Chicago
stockbroker, a Gen Y college grad, and an architect, started with one-off
orders. They navigated the intellectual property maze, created prototypes, and established
manufacturing, printing, and distribution relationships. Opening new distribution channels is their
biggest challenge. However, they are currently filling orders for the branding
efforts of Home Depot, NASCAR, the PGA Tour, US and NATO armed forces and
Harley Davidson. "Simplicity of character is a natural result of profound
thought," and Rick naturally looks for the truest route to create a solution.
And by truest, he means based in values. Rick's inventing career began when a
neighbor found a dog choking on a cyclone fence by its collar. It prompted him
to create his first company, Tazlab, that made safe, elastic collars and
silicone dog bowls that could fold up and be carried in a pocket. "Still, my
best innovation," he says, "but I missed the patent by 10 days." Rick thought, why not a pint glass? After realizing
that such a product did not exist, Rick
made it happen. The response was overwhelming. Soon the idea was
patent-pending. With the help of the Bend community and early-adopters,
Silipint has steadily been growing into a successful, responsible business with
goals of spreading eco-friendly, innovative and versatile drinkware around the
world, and having a contagiously fun time in the process. "I have grown a lot
as a business owner and learned from my failures," Rick says. "At the end of the day, I produce a widget. But what I really want is to build a culture, a lifestyle, and a business."

What do you think of these cabinets between the kitchen and dining room? Do you like the idea?
Southern Living's 2009 Georgia Idea House
From kitchen
Floor plan
I'm in the process of gathering ideas for our new build and I can't stop thinking about that setup. I originally wanted one very large great room with a kitchen open to the dining and living areas. Our current home is setup that way (although on a very small scale) and it works for our family. However, I do tire of seeing the usually messy kitchen and I think cabinets between the two spaces would hide the mess and provide a little formality to the dining space without closing it off too much. I also like that the cabinets could severe as a buffet table when dining. I definitely do not want a separate dining room, and I feel like the cabinet partition setup is a good compromise between that and the open great room. I'm wondering though if there are any downsides to having a partition. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance! |

I like that particular aspect of the kitchen design which creates a semi-transparent separation between the kitchen and the dining room. There are some other things I don't like about the plan such as the relative isolation of the range between two doorways, with what appears to be not much counterspace to each side. |
Yes, I agree about the rest of the kitchen. From the photos is seems too large in some ways, plus as you mention the appliance placement is odd. What I do love about it (in addition to the cabinet partition): the row of windows above the sink- so pretty, and the countertop that is open to the grilling deck. I grill a lot and having acces to a countertop as well as the kitchen (via sliding glass doors) would be so nice. |
The cabinets you are thinking about remind me a lot of artteacher's. I just tried looking up her kitchen on the old Finished Kitchens Blog. There are only 2 photos and neither show these cabinets (the link to her kitchen no longer works.) I've always admired the kitchen. We put a cabinet between our kitchen and dining area and it's one of my favorite features in the kitchen. The upper part is glass on 3 sides (the 4th side butts into a wall). I feel as though the kitchen is still very connected to the table area, but is separate enough to allow me to concentrate. I also appreciate not having to stare at the mess waiting for me as I eat dinner. The cabinet s just to the right of the microwave: From the dining room side it looks like this. The counter height doors open up to a pass through. |
And also, I love being able to access our plates and glasses from either side. |

Pitches / Hole Patterns: There are three common hole patterns used in Wire binding documents with double loop wire. Each hole pattern has specific sizes and applications where it is best suited. Here is a quick overview of the different options...
Wire 3:1 Pitch (3 Holes Per 1"): The three to one pitch hole pattern is most commonly used for wire binding small sized documents with double loop wire. Spines for wire binding are available in sizes between 3/16" and 9/16" in diameter. Three to one pitch wires are not available in sizes larger than 9/16". The size of the holes used with this wire binding pattern simply does not allow for larger spines to be produced. The hole pattern used for 3:1 pitch wire binding can use either square or round holes.
Wire 2:1 Pitch (2 Holes Per 1"): A two to one pitch / hole pattern is most commonly used for wire binding larger sized documents it can also be used for binding smaller diameter books. 2:1 pitch wire is most commonly found in sizes ranging from 5/8" up to 1-1/4". However, a couple of manufacturers make wire binding special small sized 2:1 pitch wire for binding documents as small as 1/4". The holes for this type of wire binding are normally rectangular but can sometimes be square or round depending on the manufacturer of the paper punching equipment that you use.
Wire Binding Process: Binding documents using the double loop wire binding involves just a few basic steps.
Put together the document including covers and measure the document overall thickness to determine the correct size of wire binding element. |
Set up your wire binding machine so the holes are centered on your paper. |
Divide your document into appropriate sections and punch it using your wire binding machine or modular multipurpose binding punch. |
Place the pages of your document onto the U shaped wire binding elements by hanging them on it. |
After carefully arranging the pages of the document over to the wire binding closer, engage the machine to squeeze the element together until the U shape becomes an O shape- usually with a lever action closer although there are pneumatic systems out there. |

Yogini's You Should Know: Kristin Leigh and Barbara Verrochi
Barbara Verrochi and Kristin Leigh have co-directed The Shala since it opened in New York City in 2002. Barbara has been studying yoga since 1990. She practices Ashtanga Yoga with Eddie Stern and studies singing and harmonium with Gulum Mohamed Kahn. In 1997, she made the first of many trips to Mysore, India to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Five years later, Guruji gave Barbara his blessing to teach Ashtanga Yoga. She is also a board member and avid supporter of Bent on Learning, a non-profit organization that offers yoga and meditation instruction to students in public schools throughout New York City.
Kristin has been a student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson, Sharath Ranghaswamy over the course of many trips to India. She has been studying and teaching Ashtanga yoga in New York City for over 15 years. Her goal is to maintain the tradition of method while sharing the practice from her experience with her teachers. Together, Kristin and Barbara continue the efforts of their teacher by leading the Mysore program at their studio.
Recently, I had the chance to sit down and talk with Kristin and Barbara about The Shala, trips to India, and their beginnings.
Since you created The Shala (which in sanskrit means home or adobe), how much has it helped your and your students everyday stress of New York City life?
Barbara:It is an enormous gift to have The Shala. we have tried to make the studio and the classes sparse, meditative and spacious so that the mind can move away from distraction and towards stillness. it has given all of us a place to retreat from our daily life for a bit, recharge and restore, and then move back into the world with clarity and gentleness.
Kristin: Also, it has become a community of like minded souls and everyone looks after each other. i think that being part of a community really helps everyone to de-stress.
Tell us a little about your technique of ashtanga style.
Barbara and Kristin:We have both practiced ashtanga yoga with Eddie Stern since the mid-90's and have traveled many times to india to practice with the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his family. We do our best to honor the purity of the teachings of Sri K. Patthabhi Jois.
What drew you to ashtanga?
Barbara:I was taking a lot of modern dance classes in my 20's and 30's. when i tried ashtanga yoga it made sense to me on many levels. physically i like to move and the ashtanga sequence had a rhythm to it that felt like a dance. also, the focus on the breath allowed my mind to unwind and become quiet. I always left practice feeling a great sense of contentment that was independent of external circumstances. that contentment brings more compassion to my interactions with others.
Kristin: When I started practicing ashtanga around 1996, I was drawn to its intensity. Early mornings, lots of movement and heat. I loved it. There were so many challenging postures that I wanted to learn. I also like repetition, so doing the same thing everyday was agreeable and soothing. Even if the poses and order are the same, the mind and body are changing each day and that is interesting. Also, Eddie Stern played a large part in my love of the practice. He is a fierce yet compassionate teacher. Many of his students have been with him for at least 15 years. I think that says something. The practice brings the mind home and makes us stronger and more confident.
What is your favorite yoga pose?
Barbara: I like them all.
Kristin: Handstand
What is the most compromising/precarious place you've ever done yoga?
Barbara: Practicing in india with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois always felt a bit precarious, not because it was an unusual place to practice but because it was so small and intimate you couldn't really hide from him. (he originally taught in his home in Lakshmipuram and the room held about 10 people) he was incredibly intuitive and could always read everything you were thinking! it was intense and difficult to be so exposed emotionally and intellectually but it was ultimately very liberating. once something is revealed to you, you can eventually let it go.
Kristin: I had quit my job, was brokenhearted and moved out of my apartment all at the same time. Practice was the only steady thing in my life at the time.
What is one thing that we (and everyone else) don't know about you?
Barbara: I am pretty much an open book.
Kristin: My husband rubs my feet every night.
That is very sweet! Thank you for your time Kristin and Barbara!

Surfer Girls: We hit the waves for a beginners lesson with Girls Who Surf
by: Catherine E. Tothposted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 at 01:08 PM
The instructors watch each student's progress from boards nearby. Within minutes, a few students are standing upright on their boards, knees bent, with smiles spreading across their faces.
"Yeah!" yells Ahlborg, palpably excited, watching one of his students catch his first wave. "You got it!"
After some time in the ocean, I find myself impressed watching the instructors at work cheering on beginners, shouting out instructions and making sure everyone has a good time on the waves. No detail about surfing is irrelevant. No question is scoffed at, no matter how ridiculous. And everyone is kept together and safe.
"Man, that was great," raves Dana Brisson, 55, of Connecticut, fresh from catching his first waves ever. "It was a lot more challenging that I though it would be.
"I play golf 60 times a year. I wanted to try something different."
Most of the students who sign up for lessons with Girls Who Surf are first-timers, says Erika Laws, the school's lead instructor, who grew up surfing in San Diego.
"We cater to smaller groups and provide more of a one-on-one experience," says Laws. "Because of that, we really get to know the students a lot better and we can tailor the instruction to their abilities."
That said, on this morning, very few of the students in my Girls Who Surf class seem overly preoccupied with the emphasis on personalized instruction.
As our brief time in Kalaeloa's surf nears its end, most are simply happy catching their first waves in Hawaii and snapping photos of the experience to return home with bragging rights.
"This is the birthplace of surfing," says Skip Paul, back on land and grinning. "Who wouldn't want to do this?"

A Visit From Jamie Oliver & His Mobile Kitchen Big Rig
Mon 03 Mar 2014Story by Amber K. Stott
It�s not every day that you open your calendar to find �meeting with Jamie Oliver� written in ink! Yet, this past month, that�s exactly what my calendar said. For real!
Jamie Oliver came to Sacramento, California in January as part of the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation�s 40-week tour to promote food literacy. Oliver�s Big Rig, a semi-trailer furnished with teaching kitchen stations, is traveling throughout the state to bring attention to childhood obesity prevention.
Weeks before the Big Rig and Oliver arrived, I was thrilled to be asked to support the upcoming tour. I�m the founding executive director of a nonprofit called California Food Literacy Center. We teach food literacy (cooking, nutrition and where food comes from) to low-income elementary kids. We also train community members as volunteer food literacy instructors.
The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation also trains community members to teach on their Big Rig as Food Champions. When it came time to hire teachers for Sacramento�s rig, we knew it would be the perfect partnership! The foundation hired four of California Food Literacy Center�s instructors to help deliver cooking lessons. You can imagine these volunteers� delight at this once in a lifetime opportunity!
The foundation was also kind enough to reserve space on the rig for the 4th and 5th graders from our pilot school, Capitol Heights Academy. We teach these kids weekly food literacy classes in their cafeteria, a space that has no working stove or oven. We make a lot of salsas, salads, sandwiches and foods like sunflower seed butter that can be eaten cold, because we simply lack the kitchen facilities.
Yet, that�s exactly what the foundation�s Big Rig offers! It�s equipped with beautiful stovetop teaching stations. We were thrilled for our kids to have the chance to cook warm food! We brought our students twice: once they cooked soup, the other time they cooked pancakes.
Because our kids have received weekly food literacy lessons for three years now, they were little pros on the rig. For several, this was their first time chopping with a knife. For many others, it was their first time flipping a pancake. For all, it was an opportunity to learn new skills in their food literacy journey.
Proudly, when our students stepped onto the rig, they were greeted not by strangers, but by their own food literacy instructors who had been hired by the foundation. For me, it was a proud moment to watch all of my students, young and old, engaged in that beautiful, traveling kitchen, doing what they all love best: eating healthy food while smiling!
The Food Champions and I also got to meet Mr. Oliver himself! He came just as he is: jeans, flannel shirt and tennis shoes. He asked questions about our community, wanted to know our opinions, and asked how he could help�and he meant it.
Our local Assembly member Roger Dickinson, who worked with California Food Literacy Center in 2012 to pass a resolution declaring September as �Food Literacy Month� in the state, also got to meet Oliver. He gave him a framed copy of our resolution and invited him back to join us for this year�s September celebrations.
The whole community was energized by the attention Oliver brought to the problem of childhood obesity, food access and clean water in schools. It�s not every day your local food movement gets a burst of inspiration from someone with global influence. We were all so proud that he chose our community to highlight!
Last week, the rig rolled on to its next destination, leaving behind a healthier community equipped with some delicious new recipes!

We are trying to better understand the mechanisms through which specific environmental risk factors influence child and adolescent psychopathology and adjustment.
We are particularly interested in exploring the causes of the following conditions:
We are primarily focusing on the following risk factors:
Because researchers will only be able to identify causal risk factors by using multiple perspectives we are currently utilizing three approaches to study the processes that underlie the association between these environmental risk factors and measures of offspring well-being: (1) genetically informed designs, (2) longitudinal analyses, and (3) intervention studies.
Genetically Informed Designs
First, we use behavior genetic research designs to examine how specific environmental risk and protective factors influence adjustment. We are employing advanced research designs to detail how genetic and environmental influences act and interact. In particular, we use genetically informed approaches because they provide quasi-experimental approaches to the study of specific environmental risk factors. For example, we use the Children of Twins Design to account for confounds that plague all family studies—genetic factors passed down from parents to their children and un-measured environmental influences that vary between families. We also are utilizing the Co-Twin Control Design (the comparison of twins discordant for a risk factor) and the Sibling-Control Design (the comparison of siblings differentially exposed to a risk factor). These approaches provide a more rigorous test of causality than traditional family studies because the designs account for genetic or environmental confounds associated with "environmental" risk factors. We are also analyzing how environmental and genetic factors interact to influence children's adjustment.
Longitudinal Analyses
Longitudinal analyses constitute the second major research program that we are using to study causal mechanisms. One of the main limitations of cross-sectional research is the inability to account for reciprocal influences. We, therefore, analyze longitudinal studies to examine the development of children's adjustment over time and how environmental factors influence and are influenced by individuals. Longitudinal analyses also provide the opportunity to study how risk factors may differentially influence individuals based on their developmental trajectories.
Intervention Studies
Our third major research approach is the use of intervention studies. We are primarily focused on intervention studies for couples going through divorce. We are currently conducting a randomized controlled study of divorce mediation. We are examining whether different forms of mediation (e.g., having child psychologists interview children and present the information to the parents in mediation) are more helpful to the parents and children. The ability to randomly assign couples to different conditions also provides a powerful approach to the study of causal processes, specifically related to family constructs.
Summary and Future Directions
In summary, our research program enables us to study environmental influences through multiple approaches, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. As indicated by the range of questions addressed in these studies, we enjoy considering research issues from multiple angles and integrating theory from different fields, such as clinical psychology, developmental psychology, epidemiology, sociology, public health, behavior genetics, and molecular genetics. With respect to our genetically informed research and use of longitudinal studies, we are currently collaborating with individuals around the world, including researchers in Richmond, Virginia; Chicago, IL; Brisbane, Australia; and Stockholm, Sweden.

In today's digital age, there's a baffling array of marketing techniques available to promote your business or product. From the traditional techniques of door-to-door salesmen and leafleting campaigns to modern targeted internet advertising and search engine optimisation, you have plenty of choices for each campaign. If you want to get your marketing campaign to succeed, you'll find these three steps are vital.
Target your audience
The first step in getting any message across is to know who you're trying to connect with. Identifying the potential audience for your product or business helps you to understand them, how they live and how they spend their money. Mosaic from Experian provides a wealth of demographic data which businesses can use to refine the way they target their audience and develop their message.
Decide on your message.
Once you know your audience, you can craft your message. By combining the details you have on the demographic target audience with the unique selling points of your product or business, you will have the foundation of a strong and appealing message. However, between knowing what you want to say and knowing how to say it, there's a creative line that some simply don't want to cross. Hiring a copywriter can take that stress away from you, and the Professional Copywriters Network provides some helpful advice on how to find the right copywriter.
Use appropriate media
Based on your target audience, the message and information you want to convey and the product or business to be promoted, there will be a range of suitable media options for you to use. Combining media will often produce favourable responses; customers who don't respond well to visual media such as leaflets and posters may be more easily swayed by radio advertising, and vice versa. Leaflet campaigns are still popular, and can be enhanced with a range of modern media on a surprisingly affordable basis. For example, you can create an interactive brochure and use a CD replication specialist like Liquid Bubble Duplication to produce high-quality copies for your targeted distribution list; this will often have the effect of making the consumer feel valued, as they feel that they have received something of more worth than a simple paper leaflet. With appropriate content, such CDs can also be used in other marketing techniques, for example at tradeshows, in stores, by salespeople, and to showcase your portfolio to potential partner companies, allowing you to convey a modern multimedia message without relying on an internet connection to bring the audience to your website.
By carefully targeting your audience, crafting a strong, cohesive message and using the right media to reach them, you'll find that getting your message across clearly becomes much easier.
Improving your product sales can seem like an uphill struggle at times and it can seem impossible to get your product noticed on any kind of serious scale. Getting your product noticed by customers is crucial in order to make a success of your company and secure continued success. There are certain tried and tested ways of getting your product to sell well, and adhering to them will give you the best chance of success.
First of all it is important to ensure that your product is conceived in a way that guarantees that it will have the best possible chance of success. The first step in ensuring your product is going to sell well is to establish that there is a market for your product. If there isn't a demand then it doesn't matter how brilliant you consider your products to be; they simply will not sell. Establishing a market and the size of the market is crucial, but it can be difficult for new companies to establish whether or not a market exists for their product. Many companies carry out surveys to establish this fact, but these can be rather inconclusive and it is better to approach a market research expert such as TNS Global to help with establishing a market. By using unique and unbiased insight into the market they will be able to assess the potential for the success of any product. These market research companies can also help you to certify that you are marketing your product at the correct age range.
Another stumbling block that many companies come unstuck on are where there product is placed within a retail store; and this can have a huge impact on the success of an item. When a product launches it is important to send out placement guidelines to retailers to establish that your products are being displayed properly. It is highly advisable to implement some kind of special display stand for your product when launched, as it will set it apart from other products in the store and create a buzz around it. If you are unsure about exactly how to place your product, then getting in touch with a product placement expert such as New Media Group will make certain that you have the advice that you need.
Packaging is absolutely key to making your product stand out and getting it right can be the difference between the success and failure of a product. Ensuring that your product sticks out to the customer is crucial, and it is a factor that must be expertly controlled to assure you of maximum impact on the customer. Customers are impacted by several factors on a product's packaging, and first among these is the visual effect that it creates. It must stand out to them and obviously state what it contains and what the product can do. The tactility of a product's packaging also has a huge impact on the perceived quality of a product and using the right materials can make all of the difference. If you need help getting the packaging right for your product then an expert in product packaging such as Think Tank Media can help you to certify that your product is given the best chance of success.
Whatever your product and whatever kind of markets you are trying to break into it is crucial to take the correct steps in the right order to allow your product the best chance of becoming a successful product. Getting a product that sells successfully will not happen by accident, and the companies that do well in the market are those that have an ability to look at a product objectively before putting it into production.
Advertisements and promotion by companies are processes that are often done with one main reason in mind: to increase product profitability. How effective these procedures are is heavily reliant on a few factors including the form of communication used (TV, email etc), the target audience size and most importantly, the marketing plan put in place by the marketing team. Having the backing of an experienced and competent marketing team is fundamental for brand success especially if you are in a highly competitive industry. Here are some tips to encourage improvement within your marketing department.
The continuous improvement approach
It is essential that every member of the marketing team understands how important it is to focus on continuous quality increase in terms of marketing plans. A marketing plan should be considered a map for the future, with targets and goals set for assessing campaign performances. The campaign's success should be assessed at given intervals for example annually and compared to previous performances. If you wish to strengthen your marketing team's knowledge regarding continuous development even further, invest in marketing seminars from Fame Foundation.
Make your brand stand for something
Customers need to be convinced they are associating themselves with a brand that is straightforward and is all about good cause. Through strong organisational values and visions, you can explain the company's direction to customers and inspire them to becoming part of a loyal fan base. It is important to make sure the brand is easily identified by both current and potential business partners and customers to boost competitive advantage. Using portable display stands from Skyline Whitespace which are designed to boost and reinforce your brand image is a good idea when exhibiting at PR events like trade fairs.
Keep up to date and stay ahead
Marketers' jobs have become tougher than ever because of non-stop innovation in many industries. Marketing personnel need to maintain a close relationship with their companies' innovators while also keeping a close eye on rivals' marketing strategies so that they develop even better strategies themselves. Using in-house social media, you can easily follow rival companies and make sure your own message is instantly conveyed to masses of recipients. If you are unsure about using online facilities, companies like JC Social Media offer social media training to help you eradicate any risks.
There are many ways marketers can use brand promotion to help facilitate successful sales volumes and out-do competition. Marketing is not only simply observing the obvious but also paying attention to the bigger picture to be able to exploit every possible target there is.

Spinning To Find a Cure for ALS
In speaking about his disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis—ALS), Lou Gehrig said, "I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
Howard Krepack, retired partner at the law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein, LLP (GEK), has that same fighting spirit as he battles this dreadful disease.
It was that tenacity that motivated Howard's family (his wife Vivian and children Michael, Geoffrey, Adam and Rachel) to create an ALS Charity Ride in Howard's honor.
This is how Michael put it in his e-mail invitation:
"As most of you know, my father was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) nearly three years ago. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons controlling voluntary muscle movement, leaving a patient during the later stages of the disease completely paralyzed. With no known cure or drug to slow the progression, most patients live two to five years. My father lost the ability to communicate, move on his own and eat all within the first year of the disease. For the past year he has lived with the support of a ventilator breathing for him. Yet, his will to live and spirit remain firmly intact along with his incredibly sharp mind!
"As we approach the third- year mark, we decided as a family to create a charity event in his honor to benefit the largest and best non-profit for ALS research—ALS TDI. My father was an avid cyclist so we thought what better way to celebrate than to do a SoulCycle ride in his honor."
And, that is exactly what they did. On a beautiful Southern California Sunday, Howard greeted family and friends at SoulCycle, a bicycle spinning studio, as people stopped by for just a visit or to spin along with Howard's children, friends, colleagues and family members. Not only was a great time had by all, but they have already raised nearly $25,000—and counting—for ALS research.
Michael's reaction? "My family and I are blown away by everyone's support and generosity."
Members of Howard's "GEK family" were also on hand to spin and visit.
"It was a truly inspirational event," says GEK partner Adam Dombchik who, along with GEK colleagues Amy Leung, Joanna Sacavitch and Lisa Waring, enjoyed a 45-minute spinning adventure filled with booming music, glow bracelets and plenty of encouraging shout-outs.
"Everyone had a great time," says Adam. "They raised a lot of money for a very worthwhile cause, which is fantastic. But, the best part of the whole day was knowing how proud Howard must feel about the unwavering support from his family and friends."
(If you would like to donate to support Howard and other ALS patients, please go to Howard's ALS TDI webpage link (http://community.als.net/soulcycle) and click the "Donate Now" tab on the page. This page will remain active indefinitely. Every little bit counts and all donations are 100% tax-deductible.)

The Soapbox: Don't hate the game, hate the copy {Massively}
Oct 12th 2010 6:20PM Rawr so what is you favorite game? I noticed in your previous posts that you have played alot of MMO's including EQ2 and Vanguard, with the comment in one of your posts that Vanguard had the most potential of any game you played except that it was screwed up by mismanagement.
I was not saying WOW was a kiddy game I was referring to a YOUNGER demographic as a percentage of players in WOW. How many "kids" played EQ? Being a "kid" at heart I guess I was one.
You helped make my point when EQ was all that was out there for a choice, WOW came out and put itself in the right market at the right time with the right stuff, the rest is history.
In my reference to SOE/EQ maybe building the next game, they certainly have the talent, resources and experience to build a great game, but do they have the MOJO. EQNEXT might be it, but then again maybe it will come from another source, Studio 38? I dont know but I will keep looking.
The Soapbox: Don't hate the game, hate the copy {Massively}
Oct 12th 2010 2:44PM Timing,demographics,quality,timing,design,graphics,timing and did I say,"timing"? Like alot of NEW expensive recreational concepts, Television B&W days, Computers, Steroes, Cell Phones all orginally started out with the idea that only adults could afford to have the equipment so the programing and design was built with Adults in mind.
It was the companies who realized the marketing potential of reaching the younger audiences and truly understood how to market to those demographics that they created thier own market and thus controlling that market share.
SOE/EQ pioneered the MMO and created an adult oriented game. Blizzard had timing/improved graphics advanced technology on thier side. They also had a large group of younger players who were already playing video games on consoles, key reason that I think this was part of the plan was the low requirements of WOW itself to play the game compared to EQ. Blizzard took from the best from the best to build this game. With everything that it had going for it at the time it really is no wonder at all that it dominated the market. With the amount of subscribers paying to play...in terms of market domination. Blizzard holds the cards and continues to knock the chips off the shoulders of all the other would be competitors.
In my opinion EQ still could swing a big chunk of players from wow by just dipping a little lower in to the age demographics lets say the 20+ age group, they have the talent and the money....but they understand what this 20+ group is looking for.
There are a ton of players searching for that GAME that hits the nerve and touches the soul, will it be EQ with the next holy grail or someone else who finally gets it.
The Daily Grind: What's the ideal pace for expansion releases? {Massively}
Oct 5th 2010 8:59PM The expanision that brought the epic raid zone inmo was Karazhan, the castle was brilliantly designed and provided a challenge and once it was mastered was still fun to run. Where Blizz made a mistake was blowing past the huge raid zone Ulduar and making that zone trivial for gear by creating the badge system that awarded better gear then was available by running Ulduar if they had not rushed by Ulduar the timing on this next expansion would not be, what some players are calling late.
I think the real challenge and I salute Blizz for approaching WOW this way is they are creating a totally new game without calling it WOW2. The only thing that I am curious about is what happens to anyone who wants to experience the original game and move into the content of WOW2.
EQ did something similar with EQ2 but they also offered an upgrade in graphic engine over EQ. Where I think EQ2 blew it inmo was they changed the class system to dramatically, they were just a tweak or two away from excellent class playability and balance. While WOW2, is not offereing a graphic upgrade they are changing the basics of class play and adding 2 new races. Will this carry the game forward? We will see.
Anti-Aliased: Don't hate the playa, hate the developa pt. 2 {Massively}
Aug 19th 2010 6:44PM PeterD very well said, "don't hate the developer, hate the management" It is always top down, and that goes for any business.
Management will drive the business and push the employees in the direction of what they expect. If the manager is all about the money then the overall move of the employees will be the same.

Aug 19th 2010 4:40PM You are so right, for those game developers who are overworked, under paid, and just plain simply misunderstood. You all deserve a big group hug.
Just wondering how far those same comments would go in your next team meeting or next investors meeting and throw in a little whine about how unfair your customers are. How fast will you be out of a job?
Truth is if you are in gaming and if you are it is mostly because you love it...there are thousands who are waiting for thier oppurtunity to make a mark in the gaming industry.
By the way stand in line with Teachers, Fireman, Police, Nurses, Soldiers who are underpaid, over worked and misunderstood.
Anti-Aliased: Don't hate the playa, hate the developa pt. 2 {Massively}
Aug 19th 2010 4:01PM If we are talking about UI's, I think part of that comes from what is available in outside downloads, many of those are pretty amazing compared to standard game UI's. If you are talking about building a game as a Hobby ok you can show all the appreication you want for how tuff it would be to build a game. Ok so building a game is tuff, so is running a business.
If you don't offer your customers what they want and constantly measure yourself, by your competition....YOU WILL LOSE. Nothing to do with how hard it is. Do it right, rolling dice, mob mechanics, player mechanics, game design...ect... you win.
On customer comments, most business would kill to have the kinda of input that is given on gaming forums, to have customers that feel what you are giving them belongs to them.That is the goal of many businesses to have that kind of buy in from your customers that they feel compelled to tell you what they want. What is simply amazing is how VERY few developers appreciate the wealth of information offered on forums.

I know some of you would say go back and play it. I have tried, having experienced what newer graphic engines and designs can do for gaming, I cant get past the graphics and the cumbersome game controls of EQ.
NOW EQNext, I have this feeling that with the millions of people who now have experienced gaming in easy - medium mode many players will relish a game that is more of a challenge. In the years since EQ was created I can hope and possibly believe with a old school experience working on the project, that EQ can create a better vision of what an exciting and immersive game should be.
Distinctive Class flavor and specialization, diverisity of gaming options is a must. Please make it so there is more then one way to specialize and still be a valid gamer.
Make the game with enough challenge that players create the same great communties of EQ and EQ2 maybe bring back some options for player to player buffs or crafted items.
I think EQ and EQ2 have good player to mob balance keep it close to the same.
Graphics and game art improved over both games EQ and EQ2.
Keep Heritage and signature quests.
Keep the EQ2 game play categories, Mob Conquest, Exploration and Crafting and or make them better.
Make the game so that adding races and classes from future expansions is easier.
Just a few things that I would like to see in EQnext
The Daily Grind: Graphics don't matter? {Massively}
Aug 10th 2010 5:40PM GRAPHICS capture your imagination and inspire you. How much computer do I need to run the graphics and does the highest level effect game play. If it does we all know we turn down the graphics setting, which is bad but somewhat tolerated.
Game play is the what creates the satisfaction and enjoyment.We can be playing along, and when something becomes to repetitive or boring..we pop out of our immersed state and say, " this is a grind" which is bad. Lazy or cheap development.
One part of game play that is often overlooked and is one of the reasons I think WOW is so succesful is the ease of finding what you are looking for on the tool bar, the spell controls seem to be in the right place,,,,like walking into a kitchen to get a drink of water, you reach for the light and the switch is right there, you have never been here before and the first cupboard you open holds the cups. That is what WOW is like on thier tool bar. imho They have done the best with this out of any of the games.
Fan Faire 2010: John Smedley and the SOE crew talk EverQuest Next {Massively}
Aug 9th 2010 1:36PM I think EQnext will be what SOE envisioned when they came out with eq2. EQ with better graphics and better in game animations. That would be an awesome game, imho. With what is being done now in gaming to help launch new ideas and better story telling SOE could really hit a home run here. EQ and EQ2 both have created a gaming community that is helpful and somewhat dependant on other players, by doing so EQ has created a very immersive gaming experience.
I hope this same idea continues levels 1-10 to 20 should be somewhat sheltered and possible protected by npc safety points, eventually there should be a point where you venture into more dangerous ground. The ability to be buffed or have a boon to help with survivability was a great way to adventure and realize how dangerous the world of Norrath would be. Please build the game so that adding additional classes is not an issue. The loss of a true enchanter and the beast lord in eq2 imho diminished the game.
The Tattered Notebook: F2P bombs and views from the fallout shelter {Massively}
Aug 2nd 2010 6:15PM I would think that there is plenty of data to tell what type of player a F2P customer is. Are they like the play free for 14day or 30day types? From my experience, the 30day free player will often play with a rush to get as much leveling, experience as they can in, within their alloted game time. IF the F2P player is like the 30day for free player, In my opinion this type of player will always benefit from MORE F2P games. After 30days they are gone and on to the next free to play game and can often times make a complete cycle in 12 months.
They are a big draw on a guilds resource and will often times seek out a guild to help them with, in game money, equipment, and time. , but they are a draw on the resources of P2P players and their values.

Like the Alternative London Walking Tour we'll discover the history, culture, creativity and street art of the Brick Lane and Spitalfields area, but with the added bonus of stopping off for a drink in some unique East End pubs along the way!
From historic pubs with original Victorian décor to modern re-established and recently reopened, independently owned pubs, we'll discover how these cornerstones of the community have suffered, endured and re-invented themselves over the years and bucked the trend of the U.K's pub closing crisis.
The tour also includes either a beer, cider or soft drink of your choice in each pub, alternatively a selection of beers can be chosen by your guide along the way to take you on a journey of beer throughout the ages, from traditional London ales to local, craft brewery lagers .
All in all a great tour for those wishing to get an insight into the lives of East Londoners past and present and for those wanting to take one of our walking tours and experience our local community first hand along the way.
This 2.5 hour tour with 4 pub stops starts every Thursday at 7p.m. and Saturday at 2p.m. or 3.30pm (depending on season) and is just £25 including 4 drinks. Book your place via the bookings section of the website. This tour is strictly over 18's.

Sauteed Chicken with Asparagus and Mushrooms
Sauteing yields deliciously caramelized chicken; work in two batches so the skillet isn't crowded.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, September 2008
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6), cut into 2-inch pieces
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pound button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 pounds asparagus, tough ends removed, cut into 2-inch lengths

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in two batches, turning occasionally, until browned and opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
To skillet, add mushrooms, asparagus, and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing once and scraping up browned bits, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chicken; cook, tossing, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve on top of noodles or rice, if desired.

Agreed, the recipe is bland but it's a great base. I added shallots, a splash of soy sauce, then topped it off with crushed, roasted almonds.

I coated the chicken with salt-free all spice and also used chicken broth instead of water. I then added a can of cream of mushroom soup when I added the chicken back in the pan and served over white rice.
I subscribe to the kosher salt school of cooking (literally changed my life) and used it with ground pepper. Next time I would like to try the garlic and shallots suggestion but I think this is a great base recipe.
chefbailey 22 Apr, 2009
I agree with the other posters that the dish was a bit bland. However, these are great ingredients, and I like the idea of adding garlic, shallots and thyme. I also cooked in chicken broth rather than just water for a little extra flavor.
ss123 7 Feb, 2009
I thought that the dish would not have enough flavor as well and added garlic and shallots when I cooked the chicken. I added a little bit of thyme at the end. I served the dish with grated cheese and overall it was very tasty but it definitely benefited from the additions.
hugnkiss 22 Sep, 2008
not enough flavor, figured that going in when i looked over the recipe but next time i know to add something of my own for sure. not sure what yet but still a good quick easy dish!

If Sister is thunder signaling the approaching storm then Dirty is the sound of the sky opening. The band took advantage of Butch Vig's production and that Geffen loot to craft something really special.

Worth this 3rd mention; Steve's work with Electrelane is quite good. "The Power Out" is overlooked a bit.

Video TranscriptWE BEGIN WITH MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AMERICAN DOCTOR -- INFECTED WITH EBOLA -- HEADED FOR OMAHA. GOOD EVENING, I'M BRANDI PETERSEN. I'M ROB McCARTNEY. FOR SPECIALLY TRAINED TEAM AT THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER WILL TREAT DR.RICK SACRA -- IN THE COUNTRY'S áLARGEST BIO- CONTAINMENT UNIT. TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT... LOOKING AT THE TEAM.. THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN..áAND THE DOCTOR HIMSELF. WE'RE ALSO ANSWERING SOME OF áYOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT. WE BEGIN TONIGHT'S BIG STORY...WITH K-E-T-V NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S JEREMY MASKEL ...WHO IS LIVE AT THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER. THIS TIME FLOOR OF UNIVERSITY TOWER... DR. RICK SACRA WILL BE IN THE CARE OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER STAFF -- WHO VOLUNTEER TO TAKE SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS CASES. ABOUT TO SEE THEIR FIRST áREAL PATIENT... DR. RICK SACRA, AN AMERICAN MEDICAL MISSIONARY WHO CONTRACTED EBOLA -- IN LIBERIA.( our mission is to care for patients and we're going to do that. We're going to do that safely and as effectively as possible. ) THIS BIO-CONTAINMENT UNIT IS THE LARGEST OF FOUR IN THE U-S... ROUGLY 35 STAFF MEMBERS WHO VOLUNTEER FOR THE TEAM ARE áALREADY ACTIVATED... ( nurses, respiratory therapists, care techs and physicians. ) THEY'LL WORK IN THIS SPACE THAT'S BIOLOGICALLY SEALED OFF... THROUGH DIRECTED AIR- PRESSURE... DE- CONTAMINATION AREAS FOR LINENS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES... AND SHOWERS - FOR STAFF COMING IN AND OUT. WHEN TREATING DR.SACRA, UNIT STAFF WILL WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR... SIMILAR TO THIS AT EMORY UNIVERSITY, WHICH TREATED TWO OTHER AMERICANS INFECTED WITH EBOLA.( usually this involves a full coverage gown, booties that cover your feet and part of your leg as well, several layers of gloves, a mask for as a full face shield. ) STAFF SAY THE TREATMENT -- IS TRICKY. THEY'LL KEEP DR. SACRA HYDRATED, AND FED... BUT THE TREATMENT THAT SAVED TWO OTHER AMERICANS -- IS NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW -- SO DOCTORS ARE LOOKING AT OTHER EXPERIMENTAL OPTIONS.( we've been trying to collect as much information as possible on these, talk to colleagues at the CDC and Emory and other them. And we'll sit down and talk with the patient, looking at the risks and benefits whether we think it'll help and whether it's safe. ) DOCTORS STRESSED TIME AND AGAIN TODAY ... EBOLA IS ONLY SPREAD THROUGH CLOSE CONTACT AND BODILY FLUIDS. THEY SAY THE PLANNING, THE TRAINING, AND THE COORDINATION WITH LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS MAKES THE RISK TO ANYONE ELSE - EXTREMELY MINIMAL. JEREMY WHAT DO CONDITION RIGHT NOW? NOT A LOT -- BASICALLY WHAT WE ALL KNOW. THE LONG JOURNEY FROM LIBERIA COULD CHANGE THINGS, TOO -- SO THEY'RE PLANNING FOR EVERY POSSIBILITY ONCE DR. SACRA ARRIVES. JEREMY MASKEL -- LEADING OUR TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT -- THANKS. MUCH FURTHER THE DISEASE WILL AFFECT SACRA DURING THE LONG FLIGHT FROM LIBERIA -- DOCTORS KNOW THEY WILL SEE HIM TOMORROW. WITH THAT PART OF THE BIG STORY.. KETV WHITSETT JOINS US LIVE. WE KNOW DOCTOR SACRA WILL FLY HERE INTO OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE SOMETIME AFTER 6:00 TOMORROW MORNING. THE PLANE CARRYING HIM IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHERE HE'LL STAY AT THE NEBRASKA MED CENTER. WITH A BIOLOGICAL CONTAINMENT SYSTEM, WITH NEGATIVE AIR ALREADY BEEN USED TO TRANSPORT DOCTOR'S NANCY WRITEBOL AND KENT BRANTLY FROM THE EBOLA STRICKEN REGION TO ATLANTA. FROM HERE...A MEDICAL SQUAD FROM THE OMAHA FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE OVER. CHIEF BERNIE KANGER TELLS US MEDICS WILL BE WEARING THE SAME TYPE OF GEAR THAT THE HOSPITAL STAFF FROM THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER'S BIOCONTAINMENT UNIT WILL WEAR DURING SACRA'S TREATMENT. N-M-C WILL PREPARE THE AMBULANCE FOR TRANSPORT --AND DECONTAMINATE IT ONCE SACRA IS AT THE HOSPITAL. KANGER SAYS HOW THEY'LL TREAT THIS CASE IS NO DIFFEENT THAN WHAT MEDICS DEAL ON A REGULAR BASIS..DEALING WITH WOULD NOT TELL US IF THE MEDICS WILL BE ASSIGNED OR VOLUNTEERS. BUT HE SAYS HE WILL BE "100-PERCENT READY" AND ARE EXCITED TO HELP. CHIEF KANGER SAID HE IS NO RISK TO HIS PERSONNEL OR TO THE PUBLIC IN BRINGING DOCTOR SACRA TO OMAHA FOR TREATMENT. REPORTING LIVE, ADRIAN WHITSETT, KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. DOCTOR RICK SACRA WAS WILLING TO PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE TO HELP OTHERS--- EVEN VOLUNTEERING TO GO TO LIBERIA. COLLEAGUES SAY IS JUST LIKE HIM. (Debbie Sacra: "He was so concerned with the children who were going to die from malaria without hospitalization. ")(Debbie Sacra: "He is not someone who can stand back when there is a need that he can take care of. ) SO DEBBIE SACRA SAYS AFTER LEARNING OF NANCY WRITEBOL AND KENT BRANTLY CONTRACTING EBOLA... HER TO LIBERIA.(Debbie Sacra/Wife of Dr. Rick Sacra: "As Rick wrote to his medical colleagues, this epidemic is a wildfire about to rage out of control.") THE 51-YEAR- OLD'S COLLEAGUES CALL HIM CARING AND CAREFUL.(Dr. Warren Ferguson/Professor, UMass Medical School: "A wonderful human being whose committed not only to his passion of his missionary work but also in his spiritual life and is incredibly devoted to combining spirituality with medicine.") A DOCTOR... STAYING FAITHFUL TO HIS Duyne: "He even stayed during one of the horrible times during the civil wars where he evacuated his family but stayed behind to make sure the people had the care that they needed.") KNOWING HER HUSBAND IS IN GOOD SPIRITS, ABLE TO WALK ONTO THE PLANE IN LIBERIA --ON HIS WAY TO OMAHA. SACRA'S WIFE IS OVERWHELMED.(Debbie Sacra: "We are really encouraged by that reuniting with him.") SACRA'S WIFE ASKED FOR PRAYERS AND SAID THEIR FAITH WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF CALLS AND TEXTS TONIGHT.. FROM PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT BRINGING AN EBOLA PATIENT TO OMAHA. THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER SAYS THEY QUOTE: "BELIEVE THE RISK IS MINIMAL".. THAT THEY'VE TAKEN GREAT STRIDES TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS SAFE. STILL.. SOME PEOPLE NEAR THE MED CENTER.. AT CAFFEINE DREAMS -- HAD QUESTIONS. SO WE TRIED TO GET ANSWERS. employees are going to transfer the patient over here, and being kind of safe about it ) DOCTORS ANSWER BY SAYING...(We want it to be as un-crowded and as efficient as possible, but suffice to say, the team that I mentioned before has done an extraordinary amount of work and practice and you can be assured that the transfer will be smooth and not pose any infectious threat to any area they're driving through.)( I just wondered what precautions they were going to take to prevent the spread here in HOSPITAL...(We also have a lot of protocols in place to protect the safety of our staff members.Part of those protocols involve our personal protective equipment as we mentioned which is very specifically toward this disease.)( If they've already treated it in say one hospital, why aren't they treating all of the patients there instead of like country ) DR. SMITH SAYS DEPARTMENT GAVE - WHEN THEY CALLED THIS WEEK.. ABOUT BRINGING DR. SACRA HERE.(It seemed likely that we're going to continue to see people like this so they want to test the and have more than one facility, namely Emory, on call and able to handle a patient like this. ) AND TO MAKE SURE ALL áFOUR BIO-CONTAINMENT CENTERS IN THE U-S ARE PREPARED... NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER DOCTORS SAY THEY'RE SHARING INFORMATION, LEARNING FROM áEMORY UNIVERSITY'S EXPERIENCE WITH THE FIRST TWO AMERICAN EBOLA PATIENTS.( The staff at Emory, infectious disease physicians, we've also had ongoing conversations with the CDC, and a number of other individuals including some in hazardous infectious diseases. ) THERE IS MORE COMPLETE COVERAGE RIGHT NOW ON K-E-T-V DOT COM. WATCH THE FULL NEWS CONFERENCE AT THE OUR PREVIOUS STORY ON THE BIOCONTAINMENT UNIT..READ UP ON THE FACTS ABOUT EBOLA.. AND THE HOTLINE YOU CAN CALL IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love the simplicity of these invitations, and the foil stamping really makes them feel "expensive." Our customer service agent was great to work with; she helped me customize the text and even offered suggestions on different ways to word my invitation and RSVP cards. I would highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas to everybody."
"We had to add Russian language to the cards design, and our designer Alyssa has been tremendously helpful and very prompt with design changes. We went through about two revisions before printing the invitations. They came as promised. Thank you!"
"These cards a beautiful. I would recommend to anyone. I had guests writing back on the response cards how pretty they thought the bridal suite was!!! Loved them!!"
"I also loved this invite. But I am curious if I can customize it and add any colors I want to it? I would love to add purple, teal and green to it. Then I would be for sure sold on this invite. I also did the shimmer paper on this one and loved it."
"I was looking for a very modern, classy invitation. I stumbled upon this suite and it worked out great! The foil is pretty, the card stock is perfect. I wanted to make the back plain black and they were able to do it. Very accommodating and checks everything before it is printed."
