@ginidietrich Interesting perspective as always! It's definitely another way to think about releases? But, I am still a firm believer in the press release's utility, provided it is written well; especially as it pertains to niche products, the majority of medical devices, products without mass consumer appeal, or smaller companies that don't have celebrity or high-profile champions who use Twitter. That shouldn't be too surprising given that I pride myself in content production.
However, the stats I've seen say that most Twitter users fall firmly in the mid-20s and have between 50-200 followers. Many of those followers are probably not thought leader material. And, many of the tweets aren't exactly earth shattering.
I do, however, like the idea of using Twitter as adjunct therapy for press release distribution! :)
Gini completely agree with many of your points. And, you're absolutely right. Clients don't ever visit. You go to them. SO, why not save the overhead and pass along the savings to the clients. Most appreciate that if the work is being done propersly.
In 2008, I trusted my gut instincts after the market crashed and all my expensive leases were coming up anyway. I've been operating at home ever since and I love it with the exception of a few nitpicks. 1) The human interaction (or lack there of) takes some getting used to. Fortunately, I work with my wife so that takes the loneliness factor out a bit. 2) It took about 6 months to get used to the idea that I could eat whenever I want! Every five minutes I was foraging in the 'fridge!" And, 3) My office is adjacent to the family room. I have 2 small children and about 5% of the time, I have to make allowances or quickly "clear the room" if a client call comes through. Most time, it's fine, especially now that they're in school!
@philszomszor PR must then be Voltron's flaming sword, as it always got the job done! ;)
@crestodina Sounds like a good idea. Going to look for that book now. I am an 80s child.
"Da da dada da dada...Da da dada da dada....Let's go Voltron Force!"
Great article. Excellent way to visually represent forces that go well together.
But, I admit. I was going to click on Voltron's picture link even if the article was about grass growing! :)
Nice article Allen. Chock full of helpful advice for implementing the social media experience into trade show marketing.
Very cool Gini! I actually experienced "augmented reality" last year when browsing a clothing mag (Patagonia maybe?). If you placed your smart phone over the model on the page who was decked out in winter clothing, you would see outfits under that. It was very cool, only I didn't know what the technology was called until reading this. Thanks for the tip about Layar too. It might prove interesting moving forward. Rob
LOL! I love the monkey, but 29/31 is the best video in the set. I'm showing my wife. Have a great weekend Gini!
Nice article. I remember my first job out of college I worked for a regional medical system that was rebranding. The company charged $100,000 and it was a mediocre effort at best. The logo was awful. Today, you can get the same awful logo for $5. How times change!
No one is going to spend much time bringing the concept to life for $5. Rather, it's a mass market strategy for the design shop. They don't really take ownership in breathing life into the concept. It's kind of like what happened when companies began shipping manufacturing and help desk overseas. Yes, you get a product or someone to help you, but in many cases, there's no real quality or character behind the company doing the inexpensive servicing. Craftsmanship requires investment. If your company is worth its salt, then development of the brand should be well funded.
@ginidietrich I love this article! I have been wanting to write something myself since it happened, but I've been tied up. So, I'll comment on yours! :) Chick-Fil-A prides itself on its Christian values and has grown quite successful in this Country. They have also taken some PR hits in the past year, but nothing like this.
Thank goodness we have free speech and they are free to exercise, but their actions after the backlash resemble more those of an angry hormonal teenager, and not a very honest one. And, I think this time, the company has done itself some long-term damage by 1) slamming the Muppets. Who does that???, 2) attempting to manipulate the blogosphere, and 3) engaging in childish antics, instead of defending their position and accepting the backlash they should have known would come from it. You can't have it both ways.
In this day and age, I'd love to know who the person was suggesting, "Hey, I have a great idea, let's create fake supporters! That will work and nobody will find out!" LOL! Have they BEEN online in the past 10 years??
Anyway, that's all. Great write up. I couldn't agree more.
Oh and PS: I HATE NUMBERS!!!
Great article Gini. Measurement has always been a challenge in PR as Marketing folks have searched for the Holy Grail "Metric." Social media does indeed provide more precise and varied ways to provide that information to clients.
Having spent my career in the pharma and medical device industries, it always seemed like we had fewer tools (due to FDA regulation) at our disposal versus a product like a toothpaste or clothing, etc.
It becomes an interesting proposition when you start looking at medical devices and other healthcare products where consumer (patient) experience is directly driven by what the physician elects to use as a treatment.
However, it seems to me that this is when patient and physician awareness and education become the client's primary currency We quantify educational asset usage versus product sales.
Really interesting post Gini. One of my best friends and business associates passed away two years ago and I still find reminders of him online. Family took his FB page down, but his LinkedIn profile is still active and I imagine he probably has a million invitations sitting there. I doubt his family even knows to look at LinkedIn. While sad, I do enjoy still seeing his name every now and again. At first it was jarring, now it's just comforting.
I've not actually done any planning, because I hadn't considered it until now. Good thought-provoking article. Thanks!
Great read Gini. I like your strategy very much, which is probably why I keep ending up back here on a regular basis. Can't wait to get my blog going after the rebrand. A few more weeks til I'm set.
Ok Ginni. Great post for a weekend read! LOL...Caine's Arcade is pure awesomeness!
I don't know. I'm kind of surprised by the low score as well given the following article also ran.
Granted it's not exactly apples to apples given that one survey looks at searches for local business through Google and the other looks at the popularity of Google versus FB, Twitter, and Apple.
However, it seems to me that an 82% favorability rating for Google would intimate that many more people are using it--including to search for local business information.
Personally, when I'm looking for anything related to a local business, Google is my starting point, and then I drill down to the Yelps and et ceteras of the virtual world from there.
@sradick True enough! Like anything in life, you must have the substance to back up the sizzle otherwise you'll be a flash in the pan. There's a cooking metaphor in there somewhere! :)
@ginidietrich Yes, thanks Gini. Thank you for welcoming me personally several times! It really helps with familiarity and that "social" feeling. :)
I definitely like the topics you present and hope to participate in future discussions. Albeit, in about a month or so it will be under a different name after my rebranding. Dropping the Storch. I'm the Murphy, but this go round, I'm not using either! ;)
@ginidietrich LOL! Let's hope so Gini! I certainly will try. At the very least, I'll look forward to commenting more on your insightful articles :)
Interesting read @ginidietrich. At 39, I've spent the last 17 years developing a pretty good career on the more traditional side of public and strategic communications. For the last 10 years I've been heavily involved in the medical device sector and as a rule they are very conservative in the social media space.
While I do use many social mediums for my personal life, I've made a commitment to really focus on developing my online professional brand this year. As a result, I'm voraciously surfing and reading scads of resources trying to come up to speed.
What I'm finding is that many posts state the same concepts a variety of ways. Based on what I've seen there are a handful of very successful, early adopter bloggers out there creating the new content. From there, we have droves of followers retweeting and commenting on these handful of posts. Inevitably, you get redundancy as everyone races to quote the KOLs.
Everyone needs to appear current, but not everyone has the time, experience or chops to trailblaze the social media space.
@PFitz I see where you are going, but I believe a CEO has a moral obligation beyond shareholder benefit. For instance, a CEO of a company the prominence of IBM should reflect on and be guided by what is right for both shareholders and the direction of the company. Supporting Augusta may make good sense in appeasing shareholders (or maybe not as I assume many would object to supporting Augusta's stance on this), but supporting August's prohibition on women members is tantamount to prohibiting membership based on race. You have to look beyond the money and protect the company against careening off course for profit alone.
I have to agree Gini. That is crazy backwards. It doesn't seem logical that something so inane exists anymore, but there it is. I suppose one could point to the fact that August is a private club and as such can do what it wants.
But, I think it reflects poorly on IBM that they would promote a woman to a top spot only to inadvertently belittle her by advertising with such a sponsor. From an issue management standpoint, I'd have a hard time helping IBM defend that position. It's hard to see it as anything less than profit driven. Sad that. Some day it will change, in the meantime, IBM should walk or force a change, not contribute to it.

Reggae Tacos in Downtown: Interesting Jamaican Tacos and Crazy Doughnuts
Underneath a blinking digital sign that reads "Reggae Tacos - Jammin With Flavor" is a little Jamaican spot that the busy downtown lunch scene will be glad to find. All photos by Alex Rodriguez Curry goat taco
It's not fancy. Walk up to the counter, place your order, give your name, and listen to Ice Cube's "We Be Clubbin'" while you wait for your food. Sit inside or under the straw thatch roof at wiggly tables, hand painted with bright colors.
Chef Rusty Johnson doesn't rely on jerk seasoning as heavily as other Jamaican restaurants typically do. "I'd prefer people to be able to tell the different kinds of meats they're eating, rather than have them all taste like each other."
So, with jerk seasoning primarily out of the question, what's left for a downtown Miami Jamaican taco joint?
A busy menu.
The "first steps" portion consists of Caribbean usuals like, conch fritters (4 at $3.49) and festival fried doughnuts (5 at $3.49).
Then come the tacos with proteins like fish (tilapia), chicken, pork, shrimp, goat, and beef.
We opted for the pork ($3.49), goat ($3.49), and beef tacos ($3.49). With goat being a personal favorite of ours, we dug into that one first. It's laden with julienned carrots, red onion, and a curry mayo sauce (not unlike the kind from Chicken Kitchen). The taco was fine. All the right components were there: meat-to-veggie ratio, fresh vegetables, juicy goat meat, but the taco needed zing. It needed something acidic or spicy to give it a kick. Johnson told Short Order that he opted out of giving the tacos (except one) any true spice because the first question people ask is, "how spicy is it?"
We appreciated his attention to please, but, Jamaican-inspired food without a kick doesn't seem Jamaican-inspired at all -- perhaps that's just us.
Spicy scotch bonnet beef with an avocado cheddar salsa came to the rescue shortly there after. As the only taco we ordered that came with a kick to the palate, it was our favorite. Thin strips of beef carry the heavy heat well -- and for those of you out there who can't handle heat, fret not, it's not that spicy at all. The kick at the end really is nice, and the cool avocado salsa to accompany it makes it a nice pairing.Beef taco and pork taco.
Perhaps the most original taco we've seen to date was Reggae Tacos' pork taco. Think diced mango, pickled red onion, red cabbage, and slow-cooked jerk pork. To be honest, we didn't know it was jerk pork until we read the menu after the fact. But that didn't take away from the intriguing compilation of flavors. It's fresh, and tart, and meaty, and, above all, interesting.
"Hooray chicken!" sounds like the exclamation a chicken farm owner would make when a chicken's learned new tricks. But at Reggae Tacos, the exclamation is for a Red Stripe and coconut milk braised chicken burrito ($6.29). Having trouble wrapping your head around that one? We did too. That's why when the tray was placed before us, we braced ourselves. Hooray chicken burrito.

Fen Phen Diet Pills Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
You may be new to the wide world of weight loss pills. Well, it is important to understand that there are always new ones being released. Some contain exclusive key ingredients to aid with weight loss, and others are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins to assist with overall health as well. If you are uncertain of your current health condition, you should see a real doctor before getting involved with any diet pills or weight loss supplements. After all, some of these products can lead to further health problems. At this point, you can turn to the world wide web for diet pill solutions. In fact, we are going to examine one option more closely, which is Fen Phen Diet Pills. This product is suitable for guys and girls alike.
- Phentermine
Product Features
Fen Phen Diet Pills are supposed to aid with weight reduction and weight management by controlling hunger and food cravings. More specifically, this diet pill suppresses appetite. However, studies have found that it can lead to side effects and health problems as well. Therefore Fen Phen Diet Pills are no longer available through most online stores and distributors. As for the cost of this weight loss supplement, it varies depending on where you purchase from (when it was still available).
The only ingredient mentioned for Fen Phen Diet Pills is Phentermine, which is an amphetamine. This is a drug that should only be regulated by the FDA and medical experts. Therefore it is unlikely safe to take over-the-counter forms of Phentermine. This ingredient works by releasing serotonin, which then encourages a feeling of satiety or fullness. This way you will consume fewer calories, and eventually lose some excess body fat. There are no fat burning ingredients used in Fen Phen Diet Pills.
- Fen Phen Diet Pills may encourage a feeling of satiety.
- This weight loss product may cause serious side effects.
- There have been lawsuits concerning this diet drug.
- No official price is posted for Fen Phen Diet Pills.
- It looks like this weight loss formula has been pulled off the market.
Even though Fen Phen Diet Pills were once used for weight loss, it appears that they have been recalled, and the FDA now controls this diet product. You may still be able to acquire a form of Phentermine through a licensed physician. Even though this formula is for suppressing appetite, you should consider that it is also an amphetamine, which is a dangerous drug. It makes more sense to try a safer weight loss product or appetite-suppressing supplement. This way you will not have to worry about the side effects and health concerns.

Borgore Drags the Honeymoon Series to a Dark Dance Dungeon June 17
Categories: Heads Up
Well, you've obviously never passed out at 5 a.m. with Borgore's "Nympho," "Gloryhole," or even his special Die Bitch remix of Asking Alexandria's "The Final Episode" blasting from your bedside stereo.
Hailing from the holy land of Israel, Asaf Borger has been flooding sleeping, screaming skulls with enjoyably negative noise for years.
He's held down a gig as the drummer for a deathcore band. He's done time behind the decks as the evil half of Alphamale Primates. And now he's gone solo, pounding out hard, grime-y, and occasionally goofy blasts of paranoid, 150-decibel terror that steals its sonic cues from dubstep, dirty rap, horror flicks, and -- as he readily admits -- "fine porn."
So break out your PVC underthings, go sleepwalking, and get locked in a dark dance dungeon this Friday when Borgore drags the Honeymoon Series on a fucked-up trip to dreamland.
Borgore with Caligula, Juan BassHead, and Jumanji as part of the Honeymoon Series. Friday, June 17. Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. The party starts at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $22 plus fees via livenation.com. Call 305-673-7300 or visit fillmoremb.com.

Editing and Proofreading Rates Pricing · Time Estimates Giving you the greatest flexibility of pricing ensures customer satisfaction. Editing and proofreading services are available by the word, by the page, by the hour, or by the project. Most of our clients want to know up front how much the proofreading project will cost. Below is a list of our proofreading rates, with many options to suit your time and budget.
NOTE: All jobs have a $55 minimum
NOTE: All hourly jobs have a $95 minimum
Thorough Proofreading All MS Word proofreading services are performed at least twice by the same proofreader: one read-through produces red-lining marks and a second read-through on the accepted version (the version with the proofreader's red-lined changes incorporated into the document) is performed. Second Set of Eyes Many clients opt to have a "second set of eyes" on their documents as part of the proofreading process. We have several proofreaders available as a Second Set of Eyes on the accepted version of your material; you will greatly benefit from having a completely different proofreader read through the accepted version and give his or her comments. This is especially recommended for legal, medical, and technical documents. This option costs 2.5 cents per word.
Please read What to Expect for greater detail.
Format and Turnaround Time We use MS Word for most editing and proofreading services with the 'Track Changes' option. This will put red lines over the words we are changing and show the newly entered corrections. When you receive the proofread version, all you need to do is select 'Accept Changes' to have our modifications become permanent. Hard copy proofreading is also available, for those without online access or electronic versions.

For RUSH projects—if a proofreader is not available—a surcharge of 10% will be added to the total cost of the editing and proofreading services. Before deciding your deadline, you may want to consider these points:
Can't Decide? When priced by the hour, you benefit by our speed and skill and only pay for time spent editing and proofreading your document. When priced by the project, you know well in advance what your costs will be. No one has to keep track of time or hours. Simply send us your document and let us quote your job.

Yes, so are the rest of the people in the world. The only people who love these films are sad, no brainers who have no life and have to result living in fiction to get their rocks off. Oh yes, and the morally corrupt people who think cheating on their partners is fine and just part of life………..

It's called entertainment!!! I am a 30 year old accomplished adult with a family, career, and lots going on. Being a fan does not make me a no brainer. You sitting here criticizing the fans leads me to believe that YOU are the one with no life. Get a life and go worry about something else that concerns you.
So Easy!

No Twilight fan, your handle tells me all i need to know about you. You are obsessed with crap films and books, in which you need no brains to watch or read, and i expect you are a fan of the cheat KS and admire her for her acting 'skills' and her value as a strong, beautiful young woman…blah blah blah. No, actually i have a very valuable, successful life with a lovely man whom i have never cheated on in over 20 years, and have a perfect family life. You should be so lucky hahaha.

We have been researching my background and my wife's background. My background is: The WICKRE (WIKRE) family, which we now believe to be "Wikre" from the Wikre Farm in Karmoy, Rogoland, Norway, as well as the Akra region. We are still verifying and I have been working with a man in Norway. We have now gotten back to Elias Eliassen Tjosvold, who was the father of Knute Eliassen Wikre who came to the US. He was the father to my grandfather, Henry Wickre, South Dakota. On my grandmother's side, Ingeborg BRAGSTAD Wickre Thompson (Sater), we have been able to go back to almost the 1500's, and are still looking. On my wife's side, I have just begun. We have traced her mother to the TIDWELL family, who has a long background from So. Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. We are having a little more trouble with her father's side, PRYSOCK, but are working for ways to find out more. |

Hi. I just bought a USP40c this week with LEM. but I haven't been shooting with it yet. It is my first H&K. It's also my first with a polymer frame. Every other auto I have is DA/SA with decocker, so it is strange for me to handle a weapon with virtually no controls. I like the trigger, but it will take some getting used to...just the way it operates. After firing, the slide cycles and all you have to do is let off slightly until it resets - don't fully let off like you normally would. If you do, travel is very long. Either way, pull is okay and no real resistance until you get back to the reset position...then its very much like SA. If you should have a nofire, then its a very hard pull all the way.
Warmon -
Thanks...now that's the kind of info I need.Warmon

I have an HK USP 9 with the LEM trigger. While I have learned to shoot it fairly well, I prefer the trigger on the Smith M&P9C and shoot it even better. The HK is now a backup bedside gun, the M&P is my primary carry gun.
I own a USPcLEM and carry an issued a P2000LEM. Both are in .40. I like the LEM. The trigger pull is constant at about 8lb and the reset is about half of the distance of the trigger pull (NOT including the take up). There is no manual safety to forget in a crisis. I also own SA and SA/DA autos, but for "business" i prefer a DAO such as the LEM for the above stated reason.
When seconds count, help is minutes away!
I have both the DA/SA & LEM in P2SK .40.
I can shoot the DA/SA version better, but choose the LEM for EDC. The trigger is similar to a revolver, where you can stack the pull when target shooting.
Have not been in a SHTF moment to determain if the LEM is actually better for high stress moments.
Why is it that you always find things at the last place you looked?
Because when you find something-you stop looking-Mooch
I have a little bit of time in the LEM trigger, in 9mm and .45 USPs and never was impressed with it. A friend bought a P2000 with LEM last week and we spent some time on the range, putting a few hundred rounds each through it and I think I've learned about the LEM trigger now. I prefer the M&P trigger or my 1911 trigger, and that's what I'm used to, so I don't like the LEM trigger or do well with it. If I wanted to like and were willing to make an LEM my only carry gun, I few days on the range with the LEM exclusively would almost certainly do the trick of making one sufficiently used to it to not notice the trigger.
I'll take a .45 and a large side of JHPs, please.
My first LEM was my second HK, a P2000sk. The standard LEM trigger pull is about 8#. Too heavy but the overall function of the LEM is great for a carry weapon. So for consistency, I had the DA/SA trigger of my HK USPf .45 changed to LEM, but the lightened version, about 4.5#. That was gorgeous! So I had the springs changed out in my P2000sk to the lightened LEM, about $10 in parts. Now they are identical and very, very nice to shoot.
The trick with the LEM is the reset. Try this: with the gun unloaded (triple-check this!!!), rack the slide. Now squeeze the trigger until your finger is holding the trigger against the grip. (Since you are not using ammo, you will now need to rack the slide again to recock the hammer.) Now slowly release the trigger until you feel a crisp reset of the trigger. This is maybe .25". Now pull the trigger again. Rack the slide, repeat until you understand what's really going on. Then, next time you're shooting live ammo, check out the reset. The LEM trigger shines especially on follow-up shots.
this is the second reset or click, right?Now slowly release the trigger until you feel a crisp reset of the trigger
Go Glock - until you can afford H&K
OK, slow motion replay... at the range, safe conditions...
Start from the gun ready to fire. You pull the trigger fully back until it stops. The gun has gone BANG but you don't release the trigger fully. Instead, you slowly allow the trigger to move forward until you feel a click. You can now fire again. That is the first click forward in the trigger's recovery from releasing the hammer.
Note, you can do this with an unloaded handgun by racking the slide manually after dropping the hammer and while the trigger is still fully depressed. Again, triple-check that the gun is safe and you do not have any ammo nearby. It's far too common to make a really simple error just from habit.
Hey Rivers, that's a very good description of how it works. You see a lot of folks complain about how they can't get used to DA first shot, SA for the rest. LEM eliminates all that and as you say, each trigger pull is consistent...which leads to better shooting.
Warmon -
I like the LEM trigger...especially for CCW...the pull is fairly smooth yet deliberate so less chance of an accidental discharge...something to think about in a high stress situation....
My take on LEMs.
LEMs, unlike traditional DAOs, do not have one trigger pull I'll take a shot at explaining:
There are two hammer positions, and two trigger positions, and three possible trigger pulls.
The LEM hammer is a two-piece unit with an internal cocking piece separate from the external hammer.
Insert magazine and chamber a round. The hammer is in the rebound position (slightly extended from the frame) with the trigger all the way forward. From here the shooter encounters a two-trigger pull: a light stage of appromimately 3-3.5 pounds followed by a heavier one of either 4.5-5.5 pounds or 7.5-8.5 pounds depending on the variant. (Both distances are approximately a half and inch with the first one slightly longer.)
A shot is fired, which cycles the slide. As the trigger is allowed forward it resets at approximately half way forward; there will be an audible click. If the shooter decides to pull the trigger at this stage a half length, consistent trigger pull of either 4.5-5.5 pounds or 7.5-8.5 pounds depending on cvariant is met.
If the shooter returns the trigger all the way forward the full length, two-stage trigger pull is encountered. (See above.)
If the shooter drops the hammer on a round and it fails to fire, the hammer will remain all the way forward. The "second strike" trigger pull is a full length, consistent trigger pull of approximately 12 pounds.
Practically speaking, the shooter has to decide whether to work the reset or not. Beginners usually opt not to, experienced shooters usually opt to do so. That allows room to "grow" into the gun, by the way, and I've seen people do so nicely. The explanation of the LEM makes it sound much more complicated that it is for the end user.
(Quoted weights are to spec. Some report slight variances.)
God, country, family.

About Me
"Classical" vs. "popular" music
I fell in love with classical music when I was 15.
It didn't take me long to realize that all of my favorite composers were dead. This bothered me. I tried to find the living continuation of the music I loved, but modern classical music sounded alien to me.
For the next 10 years I tried to solve this problem, and am reasonably happy with my solution. It's best illustrated by an example.
Do you know who Elliott Carter* is? Even if you do, do you listen to his music? The chances are you don't, because almost no-one listens to Carter's music. And yet he's one of the most celebrated classical composers of today.
What does it mean to say he's a classical composer? It means that Carter composes in the classical tradition. But what does it mean to compose in the classical tradition?
- Bach (b.1685) studied Palestrina (b.1525).
- Mozart (b.1756) studied Bach and Palestrina.
- Beethoven (b.1770) studied Mozart, Bach, and Palestrina.
- Wagner (b.1813) studied Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Palestrina.
- Schoenberg (b.1874) studied Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Palestrina.
- Carter (b.1908) studied Schoenberg, Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Palestrina.
That is what it means to compose in the classical tradition.
Now, do you like Duke Ellington's music? (Satin Doll, It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing, Sophisticated Lady, etc.) Ellington is not thought of as being a classical composer because he didn't study those composers. But there's something odd going on here.
Mozart performed. He improvised, and people sang his tunes in the street. None of this is true of Carter. But Ellington did perform, improvise, and people still sing his tunes in the street.
The problem is, people define classical music as a tradition, which makes Elliot Carter a classical composer. But if you define classical music as a practice then Duke Ellington was more of a classical composer than Carter is.
This insight informs everything I do.
I'm not trying to suggest that one type of music is better than the other, because I love classical and popular music equally - I've even learned to love some modern classical. I'm just pointing out that the labels people use can distract from what the music is really about. If that was more widely understood then fewer popular music fans would think that classical music was boring and fewer classical fans would assume that popular music was necessarily less serious.
*Or György Ligeti, Pierre Boulez, etc.

Dry ExtractA technical wine tasting term. If you place wine in a centrifuge and remove all of the water, the powder that is left will be the dry extract. The amount of flavor that a wine has can be directly attributed to the dry extract.
Sugar-free dry extract is everything in a wine except water, sugar, acids and alcohol. High extract often gives wine a dusty, tactile impression in the mouth, frequently serving to buffer, or mitigate, high alcohol or strong acidity.
Balance : Indicates the proportion between these four components : alcohol, acidity, sugar and dry extract. A wine is well-balanced when none of those characteristics dominates; the balance is harmonious.
In the mouth this is kind of dense and chewy with a nice hit of dry extract on the palate. Powerfully rich yet well delineated, this offers up layered intensely mineral apple flavors with a late arriving touch of bitter melon.

Relationships |
Relationship maintenance comprises behaviors partners perform in order to maintain satisfaction and extend the duration of a relationship.
The impact of open marriage on relationships varies across couples, yielding positive, neutral, and negative outcomes. Some couples report high levels of marital satisfaction and have long-lasting open marriages. Other couples drop out of the open marriage lifestyle and return to sexual monogamy. Still other couples experience serious problems and report that open marriage contributed to their divorces. Scientists do not yet understand why some couples respond positively to open marriage while other couples respond negatively.[citation needed]
Many couples have positive experiences with open marriage. This does not mean couples never experience problems with open marriage. It simply means some couples enjoy open marriages and also maintain high levels of marital satisfaction and stability.
A national study of sexuality conducted by Hunt found that relatively few people engage in swinging style open marriages. Hunt attributed the low number of people in open marriages to various social, psychological, and practical problems. Yet, some of these people "confirmed what the advocates and enthusiasts have claimed--namely, that marital swinging can provide physically intense experiences, that it can be immensely ego-gratifying and that it is a temporary release from confinement and responsibility and a brief chance to live out one's wildest fantasies." (pages 273-274) [1] Open marriages can challenge couples with various problems, but open marriages can also offer couples extremely satisfying experiences. Couples may view the satisfying experiences as well worth the efforts spent managing the problems.
Some studies show that couples in open marriages can maintain satisfying relationships. Rubin observed no differences in marital adjustment between couples in open marriages and couples in sexually monogamous marriages. [2] Rubin and Adams reported no differences in marital satisfaction between couples in open marriages and couples in sexually monogamous relationships. [3] Gilmartin likewise found no differences in marital satisfaction between sexually open and sexually monogamous couples. [4] A study by Bergstrand and Willams found couples in open marriages had higher levels of satisfaction than couples in the general population. [5]
Some couples in open marriages report high levels of satisfaction with their relationships. A study conducted by Wolf found that 76 percent of openly married couples described the quality of their relationships as "better than average" or "outstanding." [6] Dixon found similarly high levels of marital satisfaction in a study of 100 bisexual and heterosexual husbands in open marriages. [7] In another study, Dixon observed that 80 percent of wives in open marriages rated their marital compatibility as "excellent" or "good," and 76 percent of the wives rated their sexual satisfaction as "excellent" or "good." [8] Buunk has also reported high levels of satisfaction in openly married couples. [9]
Some couples feel open marriage has increased their marital satisfaction. Bergstrand and Williams collected online questionnaires from 1092 people involved in swinging style open marriages. [5] Among those people who said they were "somewhat unhappy" or "unhappy" with their marriages before swinging, around 80-90 percent said they were happier with their marriages after they started swinging. Nearly half of people who said they were "very happy" with their marriages before swinging claimed to be even happier with their marriages after swinging. Open marriage can in some cases increase marital satisfaction.
Thus, open marriage can have a positive impact on many couples. These couples are able to enjoy open marriage while maintaining satisfying and stable relationships with one another. Levels of marital satisfaction for these couples are often quite high. Some couples even feel open marriage has improved their relationships.
Couples sometimes drop out of the open marriage lifestyle and return to sexual monogamy. In a five-year study of bisexuals, 80 percent of whom initially had open relationships, Martin Weinberg, Colin J. Williams, and Douglas Pryor observed a definite shift towards sexual monogamy over time. [10] When first interviewed, a majority of these bisexuals preferred sexual non-monogamy as their ideal form of romantic relationships. Five years later, around 60 percent had changed their views, and most of those who changed their views said sexual monogamy was their new ideal. Some of these changes were motivated by the emergence of the AIDS epidemic. Monogamy was seen as a way to avoid getting HIV/AIDS. But, for many, the shift to monogamy was due to a genuine change in what they sought in relationships. Their desire to be sexually monogamous had nothing to do with the AIDS epidemic.
Couples who try open marriages and decide to return to sexually monogamous marriages may be left with different feelings about open marriage. Some may have negative feelings about their open marriage experiences. [11] Others may continue to "see nonmonogamy as possibly good for others but not for themselves." [10] Overall, open marriage has a relatively neutral impact on these couples.
Some couples report serious problems with open marriage. A number of these couples may even divorce as a consequence of open marriage.
Couples in open marriages expose themselves to the potential for conflicts caused by jealousy. Couples in open marriages appear to experience jealousy more frequently than people in sexually monogamous marriages. [12] [13] Studies have shown that 80 percent or more of couples in open marriages experience jealousy over their extramarital relationships. [14] [15] Jealousy with its roots in open marriage can lead to serious conflicts. For example, attempting to interfere with a rival relationship may make a partner angry. Insulting or berating a partner may provoke retaliatory responses. Demanding greater commitment may ignite arguments. Indeed, many studies have reported that conflict occurs during episodes of jealousy. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] The conflicts caused by jealousy can seem overwhelming and damage relationships.
Even when jealousy is not an overwhelming problem, open marriage may cause other complications. For example, a five-year study of bisexuals observed a shift from open relationships to sexually monogamous relationships in many participants because they "felt that nonmonogamy was too time consuming, took too much energy, or was too complicated. They also thought that it got in the way of developing love, trust, and more intimate relationships with a partner." (Weinberg, Williams, & Pryor, 1995, page 262) [10] Numerous authors have argued that open marriages disrupt relationships by interfering with intimacy and provoking insecurities. [1] [22] [23] [24] [25]
Some couples report that open marriage contributed to their divorces. Janus and Janus asked divorced people to list the one primary reason for their divorces. [26] Approximately 1 percent of men and 2 percent of women listed open marriage as the primary reason for their divorce. This seems like a small percentage. But keep in mind that only 1 to 6 percent of the population have open marriages. [1] [27] [28] [29] Open marriage is perceived as a primary cause of divorce in a substantial minority of the 1 to 6 percent of people who have open marriages.
The extent to which open marriage actually contributes to divorce remains uncertain. Blumstein and Schwartz note a slightly higher risk of divorce among couples who engage in extramarital sex, even if the couples agree to allow extramarital sex. [30] However, Rubin and Adams did not observe any difference in the risk of divorce for couples in open marriages and couples in sexually monogamous marriages. [3] Open marriage may contribute to divorce for some, but not all, couples.
Open marriage can thus have a negative impact on some couples. It can cause serious problems with jealousy, and it can interfere with intimacy and security between partners. Some people report that open marriage contributed to their divorces, though the extent to which open marriage actually causes divorce remains unclear.
This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. (December 2008) |
Scientists cannot yet explain why some couples respond positively to open marriage while other couples respond negatively. Nor can they predict which couples will respond positively or negatively. Consequently, all couples involved in open marriages may want to pay attention to their relationship maintenance behaviors.
The topic of relationship maintenance behaviors is far too broad to cover in a single article. The strategies for maintaining relationships described below are simply a few examples. There are many strategies for maintaining healthy and happy relationships other than the ones mentioned here.
Markman, Stanley, and Blumberg list six ground rules for managing conflict and maintaining good marital relationships: [31]
- When conflict is escalating, we will call a Time Out or Stop Action and either (a) try it again, using the Speaker-Listener technique or (b) agree to talk about the issue later, at a specified time, using the Speaker-Listener technique.
- When we're having trouble communicating, we will use the Speaker-Listener technique.
- When we're using the Speaker-Listener technique, we will completely separate problem discussion from problem solution (i.e., we will discuss the nature of the problem before jumping too quickly to finding solutions).
- We can bring up issues at any time, but a partner can say: "This is not a good time." If a partner doesn't want to talk at that time, he or she takes responsibility for setting up a time to talk in the near future.
- We will have weekly "couple's meetings."
- We will make time for the great things: fun, friendship, and sensuality. We will agree to protect these times from conflict and the need to deal with issues.
The Speaker-Listener technique is a strategy for making communication more emotionally safe. It consists of three sets of rules. Rules that apply to both the Speaker and the Listener are:
- The speaker has the floor.
- Share the floor (i.e., take turns being Speaker).
- No problem solving.
The next set of rules apply to the Speaker:
- Speak for yourself.
- Don't go on and on.
- Stop and let the listener paraphrase.
The final set of rules apply to the Listener:
- Paraphrase what you hear.
- Focus on the speaker's message.
- Don't rebut the speaker.
Using the Speaker-Listener technique in the context of the six ground rules can help couples maintain happier and longer-lasting relationships.
Gottman and colleagues have discovered the ratio of positive interactions to negative interactions strongly predicts divorce. [32] [33] Couples who maintain a ratio of five positive interactions for every negative interaction are likely to remain together. Couples who do not maintain this 5:1 ratio are likely to get divorced. Moreover, couples are more likely to stay together if they follow certain patterns of communication during conflict:
"We conclude that the marriages that wound up happy and stable had a softened start-up by the wife, that the husband accepted influence from her, that he de-escalated low-intensity negative affect, that she was likely to use humor to effectively soothe him, and that he was likely to use positive affect and de-escalation to effectively soothe himself. The alternative to the active listening model suggested by these analyses is a model of gentleness, soothing, and de-escalation of negativity (negativity by one spouse is followed by the partner's neutral affect)." (Gottman, Coan, Carrere, & Swanson, 1988, page 00) [33]
These patterns of communication differ from the Speaker-Listener technique, but the goals are the same: stop the escalation of negativity during conflict and take steps to make a safe space for open and honest discussion.
Gottman has also identified a particularly harmful pattern of communication that begins with criticism and ends with stonewalling. [32] The steps of the pattern include:
- Criticism - Criticism is attacking a partner's personality or character, usually attributing fault or blame, rather than complaining about a behavior. One can imply character faults in a partner by listing complaints about the partner's past behaviors.
- Contempt - Contempt is criticism intended to insult and psychologically abuse a partner. Contempt reflects very negative views about one's partner.
- Defensiveness - Defensiveness is a way of avoiding taking responsibility for setting things right by denying responsibility, making excuses, attributing negative thoughts to a partner, countering a partner's complaints with one's own complaints, and repeating oneself.
- Stonewalling - Stonewalling is a breakdown of communication. The partners turn into "stone walls" and stop responding to each other.
These steps occur in a cascade. Criticism leads to contempt; contempt leads to defensiveness; and defensiveness leads to stonewalling. Couples who go through this cascade of destructive communication usually get divorced.
The main message of these strategies for maintaining relationships is to take time to enjoy positive interactions and fun activities with each other and, when conflicts or issues do arise, take steps to prevent negative interactions from spiralling out of control. Couples in open marriages may want to use these and various other strategies for maintaining satisfying relationships with one another.

El Paso, Texas (KTSM) — A woman once arrested for conning several parents with a princess party scheme, was once again booked into jail Friday night.
NewsChannel 9 cameras caught Laura Gonzalez, 41, being brought in to the El Paso County Detention Facility for booking
Deputies arrested Gonzalez back in August 2009 for taking money for parties, and never showing up, in her "Once Upon a Princess Party" business.
She served time in jail, and was released in 2010.
She then was arrested three years later, accused of stealing at least $20,000 worth of items including jewelry from a woman who hired her for housekeeping work.
After bonding out, she didn't show for court, and since April deputies have been seeking her arrest.
Friday, deputies were tipped off that she was in a silver vehicle at a convenience store near Piedras and Van Buren streets.
Deputies say she was getting help from strangers, who did not know she was wanted.
"If somebody comes up to you looking for help, you have the tendency of helping people in need," said Det. Mario Marquez with the El Paso Co. Sheriff's Office.
Gonzalez was wanted on five old warrants and a new charge, theft of property.
She is booked in the jail on a $123,000 bond.

lol its very funny, so did she said anything?Is this true
Mom gave me a *******
My mom walked in on me jacking off under my sheets. She didn't say anything but she stayed in my door way for awhile and talked to me. I cummed about a min after she left
I'd like to catch you ******* off. Just the thought of it is making me stiff
Saw my sister watching me one day thru a crack in my bedroom door. I really put on a show for her. Made her get all hot. When I finished pleasuring myself, I heard her run to her room, so I got up and went to her room and watched as she got her self off.
Yes it was, from then on every time I was dressed up I made a point of waiting till my sister was home and in her room. I'd make enough noise so she would come to see what I was doing. And then I'd do another show for her.
I would like to know myself . As to what Her reaction was at catching you pleasuring yourself that day in question ?
Fox Trot Arrow
She told me she saw me a few times getting myself off and one day she just opened my door while I was doing it. I stopped when she came in, but she said to go ahead and finish, So I started up again in front of her.
Now every time she visits, she asks me to do it in front of her.
I know it sounds like she's sick, but she gets hot and sometimes does herself off too.

Pretty and dark, just two of the reasons I love this anti-floral spring/summer campaign from designer and stylist Shelley Caudill. I pretty much want everything, from her leather tees (!!!) to her layers of gossamer chiffon, it's a perfect balancing act of luxe and lush. Plus, how wonderfully decadent is this layout? One word: curls.

Blue: Defined in a fragrance by clean fresh notes, citrus, ozone, herbal and a touch of mint. Blue intersects all market categories.
Citrus: Commonly associated with "clean," "fresh" and "uplifting" scents, citrus now blends with tropical notes for significant appeal across a wide spectrum of age groups and ethnic backgrounds.
Lavender: High appeal among consumers. It is associated with cleanliness and has long been used for its relaxing properties.
Natural and Organic: Intersecting the health and well-being lifestyle trend, this nature-inspired fragrance trend is driven by consumers' desires for products that provide comfort, from household cleansers to candles.
Tropical: Coinciding with the rise of international influences, tropical fruits—such as mango, guava, passion fruit and papaya—have replaced traditional fruit scents in many product categories. Tropical scents connect with consumers who fit the exotica lifestyle trend.
Vanilla: This essential fragrance is in many products today, due to its universal appeal and calming properties.

Solar chargers need to go on a diet
The SolarPort isn't huge but we'd like to see smaller ones
It's great that solar rechargers are starting to catch on, but we're not thrilled at the idea of carrying one that's 10 times the size of the phone it's supposed to power. Brunton's "SolarPort 4.4" isn't that big and won't give us a hernia (we hope), but it's still not as portable as we'd like.
The charger, which Red Ferret says is designed for handheld devices and nothing bigger, weighs 19 ounces and measures 9.3 by 6 inches and 1.5 inches thick. That would stow easily in a bag or maybe even a large purse, but it's still too bulky for a pocket unless you're Andre the Giant.
A smaller alternative is the Solio charger that's about as thick as the SolarPort but only 4.7 by 2.5 inches and weighing less than 6 ounces. (It's also cheaper--$79 vs. $110.) Given our spotty gym schedule, that seems a lot more doable.

BACKGROUND: The inability to coordinate the signaling pathways that lead to proper cytokine responses characterizes the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease. The Crohn's disease susceptibility protein, NOD2, helps coordinate cytokine responses upon intracellular exposure to bacteria, and this signal coordination by NOD2 is accomplished, in part, through K63-linked polyubiquitin chains that create binding surfaces for the scaffolding of signaling complexes. RESULTS: In this work, we show that the NOD2 signaling partner, RIP2, is directly K63-polyubiquitinated by ITCH, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that when lost genetically causes widespread inflammatory disease at mucosal surfaces. We show that ITCH is responsible for RIP2 polyubiquitination in response to infection with listeria monocytogenes. We also show that NOD2 can bind polyubiquitinated RIP2 and that whereas ITCH E3 ligase activity is required for optimal NOD2:RIP2-induced p38 and JNK activation, ITCH inhibits NOD2:RIP2-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) activation. This effect can be seen independently at the whole-genome level by microarray analysis of muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-treated Itch(-/-) primary macrophages. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that ITCH helps regulate NOD2-dependent signal transduction pathways and, as such, may be involved in the pathogenesis of NOD2-mediated inflammatory disease.

5 Excellent In-Ear headphones, dogged by reliabilityDaveM05 | 08/06/2011 | See all DaveM05's reviews (1)First I should point out that these types of headphones do have issues in terms of reliability, where one ear piece will eventually give way. This is a problem with many in-ear headphone products, I have not had a pair that do not have this issue (that has been many).These Skullcandy products do tend to go a bit sooner than usual, however Skullcandy provide a 100% lifetime guarantee on all headphone products (check website), it couldn't be simpler, pop them in an envelope with a brief description of the issue and the original receipt, within no time you will have a brand new pair.Aside from this issue I have personally found them to offer superb comfort and sound quality.Before I get lambasted about the quality of sound produced I would like to point out one thing, these are going to be used on portable MP3 players, as such the quality of the file comes into play, if you are seriously into music you won't be listening to .MP3 files.In comparison to other in-ear headphones I find them to be head and shoulders above the competition. They have a snug comfortable fit within 'my' ears. The quality of sound across the whole spectrum is excellent. Also, ignore expensive noise cancelling headphones, with these in your ears you really aren't going to hear much else.All in all, for sub 20GBP, listening on an MP3 player, you aren't going to get much better.
5 excellent till they broke...OptimusPr1me | 08/11/2010 | See all OptimusPr1me's reviews (9)Why is it earphones always seem to break?I bought these earphones whilst in Vegas and they were excellent, great sound, great look. I couldn't fault them.That was until one day when the left one decided to stop working. Although to be fair I did use them repeatedly day in and day out for around 2-3months so take from that what you will.Besides the break, these were excellent earphones.
2 Awesome, until they inevitably break.Maggie56 | 03/08/2011 | See all Maggie56's reviews (2)Second set that I have had where one earphone has broke. They are real good quality and look great, but it seems they are prone to losing sound in one ear, I won't be buying again! :(

Tree lighting helpers thanked
To the Editor:
Our thanks to all that assisted in the various aspects of planning and traffic control for the evening. Many volunteer hours were spent organizing the event and ensuring public safety. Thank you to the City of Rochester and the several departments involved with the tree lighting including the police department, fire department, public works, and buildings and grounds. Our sincere thanks go to the Rochester Public Works department, Rochester Building and Grounds department, Urban Tree Service and SUR for their work in transporting the tree to downtown and erecting the tree on the square. Thank you to all of the students at the various Rochester elementary schools, St. Elizabeth Seton School and Jack & Jill Kindergarten who created ornaments for the tree and to the students at the Monarch School of New England who strung each of the ornaments and placed them on the tree. Special thanks to Rochester Truck Repair for providing a sound system for the event as well as the Rochester Fire Department for providing lighting for the event.
Our most sincere thanks go to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for their major contribution in underwriting Rochester's 2nd annual Tree Lighting event.
Laura A. Ring Homemakers thanks supporters
To the Editor:
Thanks to all, the holidays were made brighter for many. 'Caring for America' health care plan
To the Editor:
We'll politely demand that all vice manufacturers (industry specific) form extremely profitable joint ventures with companies currently performing the contrived health insurance function. These completely private joint ventures will determine an appropriate surcharge to place on all their vices (Examples: Pack of smokes; bottle of booze; meals comprised of a cheeseburger, fries and a soft drink). Each venture will use the collected surcharges to build the finest, state of the art, theme park-like medical facilities (for treatment of all vice specific diseases) in all major U.S. cities including Portsmouth, Concord and Manchester. The ventures will be responsible for staffing (including top specialists), managing and administering the best care, hospitality and entertainment for all patients in their charge.
Individuals diagnosed, at the Primary Care level, with a disease or illness as a result of tobacco, alcohol or obesity, will be immediately eligible, at no extra charge, for the finest treatment at their nearest private facility. After all, the patient will have responsibly paid ear-marked surcharges for years and will be wearing the disease on his/her body as a badge of eligibility. |

Serves: 4
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1.667 cup(s) drained and rinsed black beans (from one 15-ounce can)
- 2 scallions including green tops, chopped
- 1 tablespoon(s) lemon or lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1.333 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound(s) pepper Jack cheese, grated
- 4 large (9-inch) flour tortillas
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the beans, scallions, lemon juice, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
- Rub the chicken breasts with the chili powder, pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook the chicken over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, and then slice.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Put one quarter of the cheese in a line near one edge of each tortilla. Top the cheese with one quarter of the black-bean salsa and then with one quarter of the chicken slices. Roll up the burritos and wrap each one in foil. Bake them until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the burritos ahead of time and bake them just before serving. If they've been in the refrigerator, add about five minutes to the baking time.
- Menu Suggestion: Embellish your burritos with sour cream or salsa, if you like. Sliced tomatoes or rice would make good side dishes.
- Wine Recommendation: With the heat from the cheese, stay away from any serious, high-alcohol, low-acid wines. Try a white from a cooler growing area such as a riesling from the Finger Lakes region of New York or any white from the Alto Adige region of Italy. A cold beer is a great alternative.

boy, if that isn't a loaded question!
i wish Sim-on-a-Stick worked for the Mac but it doesn't – well not directly. powers users like Dot Macchi and DreamWalker run it on Macs without any issue but they are technical whizzes (imo)
many educators use Macs, so native use SoaS would be nice. maybe i'll get it working, i just got a schmancy iMac at work today (lol, what's up with that magic mouse?!? you can pinch zoom on it, scroll, and swipe and it doesn't even have separate buttons or a scroll wheel!) =p
and then there are all the iPads in use – a browser-based viewer would be awesome for that (since browser access has been a hot OpenSim topic lately)
but here's what lead to the title, a bunch of recent statistics (all from 2013). like most statistics, you can twist them around. the following are about playing games and my simpleton theory is that the more that people play games, the less creative they are. in other words, if you are playing games, you are not creating new things (yah, i never denied being a snob) =)
- iOS users play gaming apps an average of 743 minutes/month, compared to 484 for Android
- iOS users play gaming apps an average of 151 times/month, compared to 95 for Android
- 86% of iOS users play gaming apps, compared to 76% for Android
- the average iOS owner uses 29 apps, compared to 18 for Android
- 44% of iOS users have purchased apps, compared to 23% for Android
- iOS account for 51% of US app spending, compared to 36% for Android
- iPhones account for 48.1% of US smartphone sales, compared to 46.7% for Android
- Android account for 69.7% of worldwide smartphones, compared to 20.9% for iOS
i am biased since i have a Google Nexus 7 =p
and on to some other numbers that are just fun from Mark Morford's latest column
- 6% of Americans believe in unicorns
- 36% believe in UFOs
- 24% believe dinosaurs and man hung out together
- 18% still believe the sun revolves around the Earth
- nearly 30% believe cloud computing involves… actual clouds
- 45%t of Americans believe in angels
have a great thursday and don't let this ruffle your apples! =)
