Hostess, union to give mediation one last try. Can Twinkies be saved? (+video)
Hostess and its employees had a history of contentious relations. The company had long complained that the costs of maintaining a unionized workforce prevented it from growing; in January, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in less than a decade. A new contract that the company was seeking to impose would have slashed its pension costs from $100 million to $25 million annually, cut wages, and reduced health benefits by 17 percent.
The union says the company has suffered from eight years of failed management that refused to modernize its facilities or invest in product development or advertising and marketing, plunging the company deeper in debt. Bakery union leaders also say the company was losing money by maintaining executive bonuses, including elevating the salaries of at least a dozen executives by between 35 and 80 percent last year, and by enriching owners of a private equity firm and hedge funds.
Tuesday's mediation session is intended as a last-ditch attempt to reboot the company and save jobs, but it may be the case of too little, too late. Hostess has said that the bakery union has refused to negotiate with the same spirit of other labor organizations, such as the Teamsters, which agreed to wage cuts in exchange for about 25 percent of the company's stock.
On Monday, Hostess attorney Heather Lennox told Judge Drain that last week's strike permanently crippled the company. "At this point … our customers know we're going out of business. It would be very hard for us to recover from this damage … even if there were to be an agreement in the near term," Ms. Lennox said.
Bakery union attorney Jeffrey Freund said the union has been "crystal clear" about its terms, which it reiterated "again and again and again and again."

Ridgway's trilogy of close games this past week ended in most dramatic fashion. Ridgway junior Jeremy Breier hit a mid-range jumper at the buzzer to give the Elkers a 30-29 win over AML South foe DuBois Central Catholic Friday night at Ridgway Area High School. It was Ridgway's third nailbiter of the past seven days after an overtime win at Johnsonburg last Friday and overtime win hosting Curwensvville on Tuesday.
JOHNSONBURG – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders got off to a fast start Friday night and were able to keep the Rams at bay late in the fourth quarter to earn a 56-47 win in Johnsonburg. Nate DaCanal led all scorers with 21 points while teammate Jeffrey Wehler finished with 11. Johnsonburg's Kevin Benson paced the Rams with 19 points, 15 of them coming in the fourth quarter.
Curwensville junior Jake Bloom hit a miracle three-pointer to send Tuesday's game to overtime. Fortunately for Ridgway, the Elkers haven't been losing in the extra session this season. Ridgway hung on through four extra minutes for a 41-40 overtime win over the Golden Tide Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School in an AML South matchup.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams had three players in double figures Tuesday night as they scored a 49-34 win over visiting Sheffield. The Rams were led by Ryan Kilhoffer with 14 points, Zane Hodgdon with 13, and Christian Cherry with 12. Johnsonburg head varsity boys basketball coach Bill Shuey was displeased with the win, however, citing poor shooting from the field and defensive lapses during the game.

Nice quality magnets
Deco Glam Save the Date Magnets Magnets were a nice quality (thick). We had red text on a black background and it showed up just fine. Several of the recipients have told us these were really "classy."
Amazing product!!
Whispering Feather Save the Date Magnets All my friends have gotten their Save-The-Dates from magnet street in the past. I found another company that was slightly cheaper and my wedding is on a budget. I spent days editing my previous magnet and when it came it was AWFUL!! It was a horrid print job and the quality of the magnet was so bad! I immediately scraped them and started over with magnet street, who I should have used from the beginning!! I worked for over a week with my designer Lyn, and she was wonderful!! The picture I wanted to use was not in HD so they thought it might print blurry and Lyn worked everyday with me until it was perfect. They even sent me just one magnet so I could see if I liked it before we printed the whole batch. When I finally received my magnets I could not have been happier!! I recently mailed them to our guests and everyone loves them! Thank you so much to Lyn and the magnet street team for turning my nightmare into a dream!
Cute Art Deco magnets
Ritz & Romance Save the Date Magnets Really like our save the date magnets. Personalization was a bit difficult changing the fonts and getting the text to fit, which made me frustrated, but the customer service support was so great and friendly. My magnets arrived quickly and are beautiful. My only complaint is that they look a bit pixelated (not too much), but I think that's the magnet material. Otherwise very happy with the service and product.
Excellent product!
Ritz & Romance Save the Date Magnets I ordered 2 different designs for our Save the Dates- they were both excellent! Both orders were easy to design and had quick shipping! We have had MANY people comment on how much they love our magnets!!
What you will receive from Magnetstreet.
Deco Glam Save the Date Magnets Professional, courteous, helpful service. I made a mistake and they assisted me right away with the fix; this took a big edge off of my wedding plan goof. Their save the date magnets are beautiful and well detailed; I am especially thrilled with the Deco Glam magnet design and invitation. The finished product mailed to you in a wonderful presentation box you can keep for years. You will not go wrong by selecting MagnetStreet for your invitation needs.

Impeccable and stellar representation from a Lawyer whom not only understands case law, is an effective communicator and negotiator but, also is an excellent litigator in getting to the bottom which is the "Truth."
His style is the antithesis of a pit bull. He doesn't hammer witnesses; he lets them lie then gets out of the way to make sure the jury hears. Wouldn't hesitate a minute to recommend him to others who are falsely accused.

Sheriff's office: Soldier was threat to deputies
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Authorities say an Army soldier fatally wounded by a Pima County sheriff's deputy was suicidal, holding two guns and posed a threat to officers when a deputy shot him during a standoff.
The shooting occurred Wednesday after deputies responded to a call from Marty Maiden II about his intention to commit suicide found him barricaded inside a residence.
Neighbors were evacuated and the SWAT team summoned.
Sheriff's officials said Maiden was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun, and Capt. Byron Gwaltney said Maiden was shot when he pointed the rifle at deputies.
The 20-year-old was home on emergency leave from Afghanistan to attend the funeral of his father.
The father shot himself at the same residence during a similar SWAT standoff on Oct. 31.

The Goobers and the Male Beauty Contest - Written by Debi Irene Wahl
Widowed matriarch Ma Goober does her best to provide for her boys on the family's hog farm. Ma saw an advertisement for what she believed was a male beauty contest. The prize – $10,000! (And that would make a lot of lard!) Unfortunately one of the contestants has been murdered and Ma is being charged with the deadly deed because she was last seen shoving a beefy bean burrito into the contestant's mouth. As Ma put it, "This skinny contestant feller needs to eat! He ain't nothing but skin and bones!"
This crazy family is unlike any you have ever met. Their backwoods colloquialisms will have you in stitches. Family-friendly, laughs and a "who dun it" adventure over dinner.

Power Consumption Test
Using our PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01--or "Power Thingy" as it has quickly become known as to our readers--we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated video cards installed. Keep in mind that it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember, though. While our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10 percent more. We test at the exact same stage every time, so tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum--only an SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items will result in a higher draw.
Power draw numbers are really impressive. You can see we're sitting right towards the bottom of the pack with strong idle and load numbers being seen.
At just over 300 watts under load, you're not going to need a hugely expensive power supply to run a card like this.

Departments: Reduce Water Usage, Eliminate Excess Waste
The food and beverage processing industry is known as the largest industrial user of water, consuming up to 20,000 gallons of water per ton of product, according to the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance. And, with over 17,000 food and beverage processors in the United States alone, curbing this dependence on a community's clean water supply is a top concern.
Departments: Safety, Traceability in Food Manufacturing
The volume and severity of food recalls in recent years are enough to scare any consumer away from grocery aisles and frighten any food manufacturer into thinking that its product might be next. The industry got a taste of that reality with the massive recall of Salmonella-contaminated products made with peanuts originating from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). By March 2009, the recall included more than 3,200 products, with the number rising daily. Then, just as the dust seemed to settle, a...

Greek Island cruise not going to Rhodes
Hi We are doing a Italy and Greek Island cruise on the Crown Princess this summer. We have just been informed that the ship will not be going to the island of Rhodes. Reason given operational problems???. I see this stop has been taken off all the Greek Island cruises. We're not to concerned about this but just wondered if anybody had any ideas why this stop has been removed.
:) |
We are on a Regent Seven Seas cruise in October and so far, they have not cancelled this port. They did however cancel Cairo/Alexandria on us.
I read that the port is just overcrowded and sometimes port authority will not let the ship in. Apparently it happens quite often there because the harbor is small and sometimes not all the ships can fit since local and commercial ships also dock there. I guess technically that is an "operational problem".

DM-Aphelion [FINAL][PC][PS3][PICS][DOWNLOAD]
Name: DM-Aphelion
Version: Final (1.0) - no changes from the Beta 3 though Compatibility: PC Description: A Liandri Space Station orbits a dead planet at it's furthest distance from the sun. It's around 21Mb once unzipped. The map is smallish with a simple layout with two floors connected via corridors at two ends, and also jump pads in a central area with a "reactor" in the middle. Comments: It's my first attempt at a UT3 map, although I've made various maps in previous UT versions before, and I'm slowly getting better at it. This was more of a tester to get me to learn the UT3 editor a bit more, and is essentially a remake of an unreleased map I made for UT2004. The layout is probably a bit bland and "done before", so my next attempt at UT3 mapping will be a lot more adventurous. It seems to play fun enough, and seems to work ok with varying numbers of bots. I'd recommend between 6-12 as an ideal bot count, but you could try 4 for what might be a slightly slower paced game, or 16 for a slightly fuller/faster game.

Special conservation zones known as marine protected areas provide many direct benefits to fisheries and coral reefs.
However, such zones appear to offer limited help to corals in their battle against global warming, according to a new study.
To protect coral reefs from climate change, marine protected areas need to be complemented with policies that can meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers said.
The new study, published online recently in the journal Global Change Biology, was conducted by scientists from Conservation International, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
To determine whether coral deaths caused by ocean warming were lower inside marine protected areas, researchers combined more than 8,000 coral reef surveys performed by divers with satellite measurements of ocean surface temperatures.
"Although marine protected areas could help coral populations recover from temperature-induced mortality in particular situations, this does not appear to be an effective general solution," said study author John Bruno, Ph.D., associate professor of biology in the UNC College of Arts and Sciences.
Elizabeth Selig, Ph.D., conservation scientist with Conservation International and the study's lead author, said corals living in marine protected areas can be just as susceptible to ocean warming as their unprotected neighbors.
"Marine protected areas (MPAs) can protect coral reefs from localized problems, particularly overfishing and terrestrial run-off," said Selig, who led the study as part of her dissertation in Bruno's lab at UNC. "However, the magnitude of losses from increased ocean temperatures as a result of climate change seems to be overwhelming these positive effects. This paper suggests that we need to rethink our current planning for MPAs in order to maximize the benefits they can provide."

Student theft ring:
Two more charged
Two more Castleton State College student athletes have denied charges that they stole merchandize from a sporting goods store in Rutland Town.
Eric N. Cross, 19, of Morrisville and Zachary Howe, 28, of Westminster pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of retail theft. Cross faces two theft charges while Howe is charged with a single count.
They are among six CSC students who have been charged with stealing from Dicks Sporting Goods.
Students Brandon E. Boyle and George A. Busharis have already denied a felony charge of retail theft and four misdemeanor charges of retail theft respectively.
Two other students, Dominic S. Heller and Mark Comstock, have also been charged in the theft ring and have been cited into court at a later date.
All six are players on the CSC football or soccer teams. Two more unidentified students in the alleged theft ring have been suspended by the college from sports but not charged.
Vermont State Police said Cross, with the help of Boyle, who worked at the store, left the store on two occasions with merchandise that wasnt paid for. The value of the items taken was $172.99, police said.
Police said Howe took merchandise from the store once, but the value of the goods was $304.93.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure. Full Story -

From May Day to Labor Day, GlobalPost explores the human cost of what's been called a "race to the bottom." The hyper-accelerated movement of capital, jobs and resources from the world's corporations — manufacturing, agriculture and service — to the lowest bidder. In an era of diminished expectations, broken promises and sleight of hand, these are labor stories of governments, employers, unions and workers.
Fired workers say Caterpillar just one of several multinationals that subjected country to 'economic rape' with government help.
LONDON, Ontario — Each day since the Employment Action Center opened in the basement of the local union hall here in London, at least a dozen of its unemployed members have gathered to figure out the next steps in life — and to reflect on what they've lost.
Until February these were employees of the Electro-Motive Diesel Plant, building the locomotives that criss-cross North America's railways hauling passengers and goods to their destinations. It's heavy, specialized work, but the kind you could make a comfortable living from, raise a family on and plan for the future.
That was until parent company Caterpillar abruptly closed up shop a month after locking out its 480 unionized workers who rejected a 50 percent pay cut, sending the jobs, equipment, and patented technology to Muncie, Indiana.
The corporation best known for its construction equipment had purchased Electro-Motive less than two years before, an $820 million bet that demand for rail transport would rise as the economy improved. The now-jobless workers in London say they feel betrayed and wonder how the Canadian government could let Caterpillar bypass legislation intended to protect the country's industries. Electro-Motive had employed Londoners to build locomotives for over six decades, but these unemployed workers say Caterpillar never intended to keep the factory open.
"I expected to retire with a pension, and with the swipe of a pen they took that all away," said Brandy Damm, 35, who was a welder at the plant and had worked there for four-and-a-half years before the lockout.
"You knew the company was trying to give us zero when we made those people extremely rich."~Brandy Damm, former Electro-Motive employee
Damm, energetic and outgoing, is proudly wearing her Canadian Auto Workers T-shirt. She is one of the "peer helpers" at the Action Center. Her job is to sign up her former co-workers for training opportunities available through the province of Ontario and help them to navigate the red tape that comes along with such opportunities.
'Action Centers' like the one in London have become a more common sight across the province, which has a large industrial base but a relatively low unionization rate compared to the rest of the country. Run with the help of government funding, 256 centers have been set up in the province since 2006 in response to layoff situations at union workplaces.
Here members can check and post notices on one of the center's temporary partitions, write and send resumes online, sign up for a "needs assessment" appointment, or just grab a coffee with their former co-workers. The Action Center will stay open for at least 18 months, said coordinator Bob Scott.
Scott was, until February, the plant chair for the union and had worked at Electro-Motive for 23 years.
It is hard for people to adjust after so long in the plant, said Scott, who will also eventually have to, "figure something out." And there is another problem: Jobs in the London area are "very low-paying," with manufacturing jobs even harder to come by, he said.
"A lot of people are travelling out west," he added. "Kitchener-Waterloo (about 60 miles northeast) seems to be a little higher paying, but down in this end it's very low-paying jobs right now."
. . . .
Electro-Motive was bought by Caterpillar subsidiary Progress Rail Services in 2010 from Greenbrier, an American equity firm that had purchased the faltering plant in 2004.
"As soon as [Caterpillar] purchased it you could see the writing on the wall that we were going to have an issue," said Scott.
Caterpillar had also attempted to buy the plant in 2004, but the union blocked the sale in retaliation for Caterpillar locking out workers at its plant in Brampton, Ontario plant in 1991.
"We met with Caterpillar and told them that at no point would they ever own this facility after what they had done in Brampton," Scott said, alleging Caterpillar ultimately purchased Electro-Motive through "the back door."
"They purchased us for the technology," he said.
Caterpillar counters that the company's past relationship with the union wasn't a factor when buying the plant, and that its focus was on the "things that needed to be done to make the plant competitive," said company spokesperson Rusty Dunn.
Electro-Motive locked out its workers on New Year's Day after tabling a final offer that would have cut wages from an average of $35 per hour to $16.50 per hour amounting to a 50 percent reduction.
"When they came back with their final offer, I knew that they didn't want to operate in Canada," said Damm.
Caterpillar subsidiary Progress Rail held a job fair in Muncie in March, a month after the company announced the London plant would close. Wages at the Indiana plant range from $13 to $19 dollars an hour with benefits, according to Dunn. Recent job postings for welders at the plant list the starting wage at $14.85 an hour.
For its part, the state of Indiana passed "right-to-work" legislation in February that bars employment contracts that require all workers in unionized workplaces to pay union dues. It was reported earlier this year that Caterpillar recruitment ads for managers at the plant required candidates have "union-free" work experience. It was also reported that municipal leaders gave $28 million in tax incentives to Caterpillar for the plant to come to Muncie, and Dunn confirmed in an email to the GlobalPost that there were "some economic development incentives from the state."
"Indiana gave those guys an incentive to move," said Wayne Fraser, director for Ontario and Atlantic Canada for the Steelworkers Union. "If you think about NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) that's an unfair practice. There has to be an equal playing field."
"Today it's in Indiana, tomorrow it's in India," adds Fraser.
. . . .
After Caterpillar announced that they were shutting the London plant in February, the union and their supporters picketed outside the gate for three more weeks hoping simply to negotiate a decent severance package for their members.
Adding insult to injury to many here was the fact that while the workers in London were left to walk the picket line, Caterpillar was recording record profits; $1.55 billion (US) in the first quarter of 2012.
"That was trying because you knew the company was trying to give us zero when we made those people extremely rich. We were hoping to get at least something," said Damm.

Tech Returns To The Super Bowl Big Time, An Ad Roundup
For those of us who know nothing about football, The Super Bowl is more about what the huge brands who buy ads chose to do with their $3 million in ad dollars and prime eyeball time, paying to play with a captive audience in the hundreds of millions. And the technology industry always steps up to the plate; Last year Google debuted its "Parisian Love" ad and we had quite a few… Read More

Foursquare Enables First "Promoted" Venue And Badge Redemption Codes For The Super Bowl
When it comes to making money, Twitter's approach right now is their group of Promoted Products.

And now this coming Sunday, it looks like Foursquare will begin testing the same type of thing. Specifically, during the Super Bowl, Foursquare is going to have a… Read More
Motorola Attacks Apple In Super Bowl Commercial
Super Bowl is just around the corner, and that means it's the one and only time people anticipate commercials more than the game. Motorola has released a teaser for their Super Bowl commercial and it criticizes Apple. Their message is that "2011 is [actually] a lot like 1984." The 1984 reference dates back to Apple's own Super Bowl commercial where they excoritated IBM… Read More
TiVo sez Doritos commercial was the biggest hit in the Super Bowl
Thanks to TiVo, we have a pretty good idea of what the most popular commercials from last night's Super Bow. Survey says: that Doritos commercial with the little kid telling his mom's date to keep his hands off his mother (fat chance!) and off his Doritos. America is a peculiar little country, isn't it, cheese-flavored chips and light beer as far as the eye can see. Read More
Looks Like Google May Have A Super Bowl Commercial
While Google is a company built on advertising, for the most part it has stayed out of advertising itself on the dominant medium: television. Yes, there have been those short ads for Chrome and a few for Android that it has been involved with. And Google is even said to have considered an ad during the Olympics, but that was killed at the last second, apparently. But now, it looks like Google… Read More

Seattle chowder joint runs half-second Super Bowl ad

The Super Bowl economic stimulus should result in 2.6 million HDTV sold
The Super Bowl is a major economic force and should cause 2.6 million HDTVs sold this year – or so says the CEA. After all, it is the biggest football game of the year and people love an excuse to gather. No doubt some used the digital switch or so-called liquidation sales as an excuse to plop down money on a swanky new HDTV. Read More
Comcast confuses porn with the Super Bowl
Oh man. Someone is going to lose their job [life?] over this. The story goes that just after the Cardinals scored their last touchdown, Tucson, AZ Comcast viewers were interrupted with a bit of porn.

Contraband cigarettes seized in Benoni
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Over R4 million worth of contraband cigarettes were seized in Crystal Park, Benoni, Gauteng police said on Wednesday.
Police followed up on information on Tuesday night and made the find at the truck stop, police spokeswoman Captain Doniah Mothutsane said.
"Gauteng flying squad and commercial crimes seized tons of fake cigarettes worth an estimated R4.6 million after receiving a tip-off about a truck travelling from Zimbabwe last night," said Mothutsane.
The truck was pulling what appeared to be timber, but there were thousands of cigarette cartons stored inside it.
"Two people aged between 24 and 53 were arrested for possession of illegal cigarettes and contravening the tobacco act," said Mothutsane.
The two would appear in court on Thursday. - Sapa

On May 9, Big Boi announced that he's reunited with Reid yet again. "I just signed a deal with Epic Records," he says to The Huffington Post. "So I'm back with L.A. Reid and [Epic Records President] Sylvia Rhone. Got a brand new situation. I signed the deal the day after the first Coachella date, that Saturday." As CEO of Island Def Jam, Reid inked Big Boi to a solo deal that expired with 2012′s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. More »

Phantogram On Sticking To Their Vision & The Status Of That Joint EP With Big Boi: Idolator Interview
But between 2009 and 2014, Phantogram have seemed to operate on their own plane, and avoided the common pitfalls. Between albums one and two, they offered up a couple EPs, signed to a major and benefitted from a confidence-boosting collaboration with one of their hip-hop idols, Big Boi. All the while, they never compromised their sonic mission, and that comes through in Voices, where the samples, beats and Barthel's vocals all sound more muscular and evocative.
I spoke with the duo last week about their gradual rise to see how they've seemingly done everything right up to this point. Read on to find out why they're still not done picking up speed, where the Big Grams project with Big Boi stands and which late night show has the best snacks. More »
Big Boi Nerds Out On 'Game Of Thrones' Mixtape Track "Mother Of Dragons": Listen
So here we have Big Boi's contribution, "Mother Of Dragons," which fans of the show will know is about the Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen. "Khaleesi, the Mother of Dragons is one of my favorite characters," he told VIBE. "The throne actually belongs to her and to see her plight to get back on top to where she belongs has been the thing… Like James Brown said, it's the season to get the big payback."
I guess if we're not gonna get new music from Outkast, a Daddy Fat Sax song with the line "Fuck the Lannisters and everybody ridin' with 'em / Jon Snow and the Night's Watch finna slide some iron in 'em" is a fine consolation prize. Hear it below, and check out Wale's "King Slayer," which interpolates the show's theme song, at Billboard. More »

Big Boi Shoots Down Outkast Album Rumors, Says He Is Working On 'Game Of Thrones' Mixtape

Big Boi Upgrades "CPU" With Help From Sade: Listen
It's also a mash-up featuring Sade's "Nothing Can Come Between Us." And it works.
Big Boi had released Vicious Lies to one recurring criticism — most of his forays into electrorock and psychedelia, courtesy of bands like Phantogram, Little Dragon and Wavves, simply didn't gel. (While not bad, the glinting "CPU" does force Big Boi to reckon with Phantogram's Sarah Barthel as if she was Siri, which only has him sounding wearier from the Information Age because of it.) With help from a funky bass and Sade's reassuring hook, though, Big Boi actually sounds revitalized in "2.0."
While promoting Vicious Lies, Big Boi — or Daddy Fat Saxx, or Sir Lucious Left Foot, oh great one either way — said that he'd love to work with Sade someday. Until then (and it should), he will be releasing reworked versions of Vicious Lies tracks weekly, as he plots a new solo album and preps for OutKast's massive reunion tour. For now, check out "CPU 2.0″ after the jump. More »
Big Boi Confirms Plans For Another Solo Album
Earlier this week, Outkast producer Mr. DJ claimed Andre 3000 and Daddy Fat Sax are working on respective solo albums before anything involving new Outkast material. At that time, the duo's rep told us there is "no announcement regarding new music."
Check out the interview below. More »
Andre 3000 & Big Boi Reportedly Working On Solo Albums
There's still not much clarity about whether Outkast's reunion tour is the endgame or if it's going to be bundled with a new album from the duo. But Revolt TV is reporting that for now, no Outkast album is in the works… because Andre 3000 and Big Boi are each working on a solo album. Both rappers have been hitting up Stankonia Studios in Atlanta to record new material for separate solo projects, according to their producer Mr. DJ.
(For what it's worth, Revolt was the first outlet to report Outkast's 2014 reunion, so they're on that ATLiens tip.) More »

Once again, we have a confirmation from someone close to Outkast, but not the guys themselves (or their camp).

It's another promising development for fans of the ATLiens, who may not have the complete answer until that pesky Coachella lineup is announced. More »

Only a blogger travels this way
When bloggers travel…
I am sitting here on an Amtrak train, surrounded by all of my "stuff". My bag was extremely heavy this time around (I take the train a couple of times a month), and I started asking myself…why. Why oh why.
Then I took a quick inventory in my head and it all makes sense. Here is what my small rolling backpack consists of:
- MacBook Pro
- iPad
- Kindle Fire
- DSLR Camera
- 3 lenses for said camera
- Flip Camera
- iPhone
- Windows Phone
- Ear buds
- cords for all of the above
- 2 pairs of underwear (had to throw that in)
- Makeup bag
I don't imagine that the average traveler takes this much in the way of electronics when they travel. Us bloggers need every single thing listed above (maybe with the exception of 2 phones and the Flip camera).
Let's examine this.
1. MacBook Pro – well duh! I am a blogger and my laptop goes everywhere with me. Except maybe to the bank and grocery store. My intention is to get some blog work done on the train. Even if I don't, I will still need my Mac to use when I arrive at my destination.
2. iPad – well duh again! What blogger doesn't take their iPad with them everywhere?
3. Kindle Fire – as a backup in case my iPad loses battery power.
4. DSLR Camera – I am a blogger and bloggers take an insane amount of pictures. Whether I need to take a few shots for a review, or I just see something that will be the perfect photo for a blog post idea, I NEED my camera.
5. Lenses – I might need to zoom in on something. What if I see a teeny tiny little bug or something?
6. Flip Camera – I usually take video with my phone these days, so honestly, I don't even know why I brought this.
7. iPhone – no explanation necessary. But I will anyway. When I am standing around at the train station amongst the creepers, I need to look like I am busy doing something. I can either play on my phone, or have a fake conversation. I need to check Facebook, Twitter, email, etc. too of course.
8. Windows Phone – I did a Nokia Lumia 900 review and really love this phone. There are different games on here than on my iPhone, and it is just fun. Besides what if the battery level on my iPhone suddenly plunged? I would have a back up phone. Only a blogger…
9. Ear buds – see #7 above – I usually put these in my ears whether I am listening to music or not. That way I can ignore anyone I don't want to to talk to. #prepared
10. Cords - well this is a no brainer – without these, I couldn't use any of the items above, silly!
11. Underwear – because you just never know. Besides, my mom always told me to bring extra unders.
12. Makeup bag – I'm a girl and I like to look purdy.
Don't even get me started on how strategically I had to pack all of this stuff. I not only had to carefully put things in so they would all fit, but had to predict which items I would need first and make a plan of how to get them out of my small rolling backpack.
Don't judge. I am totally prepared! Prepared for what you might ask? I have no idea. But it feels damn good.
Only a blogger travels this way.
What do you typically bring when you travel? What can't you do without?
13 Responses to "Only a blogger travels this way"
This made me laugh because it is so true. I don't yet have a DSLR so I take 3 cameras so I can always grab the best picture. NEver know which one will get it! My husband often calls me an email/internet addict but I keep trying to explain there is a huge difference between being a blogger and an addict. WE are working, or sorting through mountains of email which again is work!
Great post. But I have to ask what does a "creeper" look like and has one every approached you
LOL!! I had no idea but it really does make sense if you think about it. I just recently began my blog and I don't have much of anything there yet as far as content goes and I already understand this post!! LOL!!
Haha I Overpack EVERYTHING but especially my electronics. "What if I see a teeny tiny little bug or something?" LOL at this literally!
Excessive! I'm not a blogger, but I often travel for weeks or months with everything in a standard backpack. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Safe travels always, and thanks for all you do!
LOL yep looks about right. My husband thinks I'm nuts bringing my laptop, tablet, camera, video camera and everything else. Gotta be prepared I tell him!
I don't think there's anything on that list you could live without!
So true. When we went on vacation last year I had to take my laptop, my camera, my video camera, my day planner, and clothes. It was insane.
You are spot on….and my hubby thinks I'm nuts because I also always pack extra undies!
LOL! You are too funny.
I travel light – iPhone, maybe my iPad or laptop and camera. I wish I could blog when I travel. I can't. I need to be at my own desk. I feel "off" if I try and write someplace else.
Haha yes we travel with a lot it seems!

We are going to be renovating our bathrooms. Our guest bath is small, approximately 5 x 11 feet. I am planning on recessed lights, as well as a exhaust fan with a light. My husband travels and has seen mirrors that are backlit. I found this backlit mirror on Houzz.com and am trying to replicate it. It appears to use flourescent lights -- I would like to consider LED's to wrap completely around the mirrors, be able to dim them and keep the room from getting hot. However, I only want to do this if the lights would be bright enough to replace the sconces by the mirrors. The area of the mirrors to be outlined will be approximately 17 x 30 inches. I have spoken with some online LED companies, and have been advised that with 80 lumens/ft, I would be able to rely on these for enough mirror light without having to have additional sconces. Can anyone with actual LED for task lighting give me feedback -- can this footage provide me enough lighting in the BR? Thanks |

Your idea would be beautiful. I have no idea if the light would be sufficient to replace a sconce though. A post on the bathroom forum by enduring (title something like bathroom reveal) featured a back lite mirror. However, she posted in another thread that the back lite mirror provide a nice nighttime glow but was not as bright as she had intended. She might have learned something from her DIY experience that would help you. We considered mirrors that had light panels inside the mirror. I saw some at Amazon (see link below). Perhaps they would suit your needs? Good luck Carol |
Here is a link that might be useful: mirror with light panels

The Register
30th September 2008
Underscoring the severity of of an exotic form of website bug, security
researchers from Princeton University have cataloged four cross-site
request forgeries in some of the world's most popular sites.
The most serious vulnerability by far was in the website of global
financial services company ING Direct. The flaw could have allowed an
attacker to transfer funds out of a user's account, or to create
additional accounts of behalf of a victim, according to this post [1]
from Freedom to Tinker blogger Bill Zeller.
The vulnerabilities were confirmed for users of Firefox and Internet
Explorer browsers, and ING's use of the secure sockets layer protocol
did nothing to prevent the attack. ING plugged the hole after Zeller and
colleague Ed Felton reported it privately.
Cross-site request forgery (CSFR) vulnerabilities occur when a website
carries out an action without first confirming it was requested by the
authenticated user. Miscreants can exploit this shortcoming by including
code on an attack site that causes the user's browser to send commands
to a site such as ING.com. ING.com then carries out the command under
the mistaken notion that because it was requested by the browser, it was
invoked by the user.

Dishes as vibrant and diverse as the UN's annual Mardi Gras celebration deck the tabletops at Kogen's, the seventh Asian-influenced eatery borne from the Mark Pi restaurant group. Drawing inspiration from Japanese street food, Chinese dry-food markets, and upscale American cuisine, the chefs craft an artful and varied menu that embodies both traditional favorites and experimental creations. Here, helpings of pad thai and hunan chicken share real estate with kung pao lo mein and sashimi platters. The signature sushi rolls dabble in a range of flavors, for example, the Margarita roll combines spicy tuna with avocado, lime, and wasabi mayo, and the Fire Dragon roll sets tongues ablaze with tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, spicy mayo, and sriracha sauce.
Sushi.Com's adept chefs craft a menu of traditional raw and cooked Japanese fare, replete with fresh ingredients. Seafood mavens artfully decorate square and oval ceramic plates with maki rolls such as crunchy tuna, spicy salmon, and shrimp tempura ($4+). A la carte sushi or sashimi plates carry duos of smoked salmon, tofu, or barbecued eel ($3.75+) to tables, where they perform flavorful duets for taste buds. Meanwhile, sips of wine or sake accompany bowls of udon or soba noodles ($10.95), or a steaming dish of beef teriyaki ($15.95), highlighting flavors, washing down bites, and inspiring conversations about renaming a first born child "Pinot Grigio".
Blue Ginger's chefs have no shortage of sources when they need inspiration for their next dish. Rather than limit their scope to a single region or country, they scan recipe books from across Asia and pick out their favorites as starting points. Some of the recipes they dig up date back centuries, but they're more interested in looking toward the future than dwelling on the past.
It's certainly a bright future they envision—one in which the best elements of various Asian cuisines have joined forces in the same dishes. There are even some influences from outside Asia that make it into the mix, as the duck fajitas and pan-roasted chilean sea bass will attest. This inclusive spirit isn't just limited to the food. An extensive drink menu features imported beers, martinis blended with sake, and cocktails stirred with miniature world flags.
An article on ThisWeek details the journey Benson Yu took from spending a dozen years working in sushi restaurants to striking out on his own. For Ronin Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar, Yu personally engineered more than 40 specialty maki rolls, including the Lollipop roll: yellowtail, salmon, crab, and avocado, wrapped in thin cucumber. As the owner and head chef, he curates the massive menu of both sushi and Asian-fusion cuisine, featuring classics such as general-tso's chicken, and original compositions, such as tropical fried rice tossed with spicy curry. The article on ThisWeek details how Ronin?which means "maverick samurai" in Japanese?features a dining room spanning 1,800 square feet, where diners sip on hot and cold sake and imported beer while practicing chop-stick skills or using forks like they?re chopsticks.
