For the Salad:
- 1 Bunch of Tuscan Kale, large stems removed & cut into 2 inch ribbons
-6 baby carrots or 1 large carrot, shaved very thin with a peeler
-1 cup of cooked farro
-2 large shallots, peeled & sliced very thin
-1 cup all purpose flour seasoned with salt & pepper
-1 quart vegetable frying oil
-Toasted sesame seeds
For the Dressing:
-3 garlic cloves
-1 lemongrass stalk, tough leaves peeled away
-1/4″ piece if ginger, peeled
-1/2 cup canola oil
-1/4 cup sesame oil
-1/3 rice win vinegar
-1/2 cup soy sauce
-3 tablespoons of honey
-1/4 cup water
For the Dressing:
Pound the garlic, ginger & lemongrass with a mortar & pestle into a smoothe paste. This can also be achieved in a food processor. Whisk all the ingredients into a glass jar & refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.
For the Fried Shallots:
Put the vegetable oil into a heavy bottom 4 quart stock pot. Heat the oil to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a frying or candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Toss the shallots in the seasoned flour shaking off any excess & gently lower into the oil with a slotted spoon. Fry until golden brown & crispy. Drain on paper towels. Can be kept in an air tight container for 24 hours.
For the Marinated Kale:
Place the Kale into a large mixing bowl & lightly coat with 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Massage the greens with your hands for about 5 minutes. The kale should start to get bright & shiny in color and feel quite tender. Add the shaved carrots & another tablespoon or to of the dressing.
To Assemble Salad:
Divide the marinated kale & carrot among four bowls. Put 1/4 cup of cooked farro on top of each & drizzle with dressing. Top with crispy shallots, torn basil leaves & toasted sesame seeds.

Jason Burby | June 5, 2007 | Comments
Where Web metrics meet accountability.
I'm often asked why so many companies fail to really get Web analytics engrained within their business processes and to leverage the data to improve site performance.
In many past columns, I've written about setting proper goals and getting team buy-in on those goals, as well as monetizing behavior and the like. If you do all those things right but the people involved in the day-to-day management, strategy, design, and development aren't being held accountable for the Web site, all your work may be for naught.
Time and again you see people get caught up in working on a big list of initiatives that have queued up, without ever really defining what success means for each initiative. Success is often measured by delivering something (anything!) on time and within budget.
As soon as one initiative launches, it's off to the next one, and so on. Often there isn't time to define success metrics, and surely no time to see how the new launch did. It was, of course, nearly on time and right around the discussed resource budget.
This is usually based on pressure to always be making changes to a site and a ton of ideas of things that could be done. There's also a shortage of resources to get that project done that "needs to be finished this quarter."
In most cases, the people running the Web channel, projects, strategic direction, design, and development aren't held accountable for the Web channel's true performance.
So when you try to provide them with information, such as analytics data, that can help them better understand opportunities as well as what's working and what's not, that information isn't taken seriously and isn't a high priority.
The good news is this is all starting to change. As Web budgets grow, executives are starting to require deeper performance metrics from the channel. This often starts as high-level questions:
The questions typically start going deeper. When first asked, they're often fairly easy to answer; however, things quickly get deeper and more specific.
Over time, a sophisticated Web channel leader will know he needs to find a way to move the metrics that matter most to the Web channel and executive team. Until this occurs, the individuals on the Web team aren't usually held accountable for anything other than delivery date and budget.
This is when a shift begins to occur. People on the Web team start to be asked by the group leader how they can move some of these metrics. When an initiative is launched, they may start looking at the impact of specific changes. Unfortunately, this often takes time; it can easily take 12 to 24 months from the time the person in charge of the channel starts getting the questions from the executive team to the point at which he has everyone on his team driving toward the optimization of specific metrics.
At the far end of the spectrum, some things you should expect to see include:
If you run a Web team, act now and get your team thinking in this direction. If you're a team member, start thinking about it now, before your boss has to act. If you're already getting hounded on this front and were caught off-guard, sincere apologies for not giving you a heads up sooner!

Remembering Greenville: Photographs from the Coxe Collection (SC) Anchored at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville is the cultural center of South Carolina's Piedmont. Today, residents and tourists often find themselves immersed among the charming shops and quaint cafes that line the avenues in the historic Main Street district. A revitalized area today, Greenville's Main Street was the commercial center of the town during the life of William Coxe, a Greenville photographer who acquired many early images and who brilliantly extended the collection with his own photographs. Remembering Greenville: Photographs from the Coxe Collection explores Greenville during the first half of the 20th century. Stunning black-and-white images enlighten readers about the "old" Greenville that virtually disappeared as the small city was transformed into a large metropolitan area. These images, taken from the 1900s to the 1960s, depict Furman University and Greenville Women's College, both then located in Greenville's downtown; Camp Wetherill, Greenville's Spanish-American War training camp; and such personalities as an older, but still legendary, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

As sure as you can count on getting beaten, you can also always count on laughter when you face Lee Fisher on the basketball court. The veteran Davenport basketball coach has a quick wit, an active mind, and a huge smile that keeps you laughing before and after the game. Somehow that makes the almost certain defeat you face easier to take.
The loudest cheers on November 6 from a huge South Kortright cheering section at the Wright National Soccer Campus went to the four Andes Rams. The large SK throng showered their adopted sons with appreciation at they moved forward to receive their Section IV, Class D, soccer championship medals.
Over a long teaching career I was continually tinkering with my behavior management system, always looking for ways to help my students learn to monitor their own behavior. Teaching in small rural school settings with solid soccer programs, I found the carding system used in soccer was a useful behavior management tool.
I'm often suspect when firm-fixed rules replace common sense to govern decision-making. That's the case with the .500 rule some area local schools use to determine whether local high school teams qualify for post-season play.
The local sporting world lost a true friend in early August with the passing of Steven Fabrykiewicz. Steve, the father of Andes soccer star Peter Fabrykiewicz, had become a regular feature at many soccer contests throughout Delaware County. An avid photographer, he could be found, camera slung over his shoulders, joyfully bounding up and down the sidelines at soccer games.
The difference between average and superior performance is much narrower than the average person thinks. Often superior teams have an aura of invincibility, a swagger that builds an impression that they simply cannot be beaten. On the surface, average performing teams don't seem to match up. Actually, the gap between the two performance levels is not nearly as large as most people believe.
The King's crown is showing tarnish. America's love affair with professional basketball icon, LeBron James hit its first big time snag last week as James orchestrated a free agency free-for-all involving at least six cities that dominated the sports world for a week and sure wasn't basketball's or the young star's one shining moment.
The death of basketball's legendary coach John Wooden this weekend caused me to pause and take stock of time. Wooden was 99 years old when he passed. His legacy on and off the basketball court may never be matched and is sure to withstand the test of time. Wooden's passing transported me back to a time many years ago when the magnetic allure of the UCLA coaching great would almost be transforming to me.
He is a cat with nine lives, and the New York Met manager will have used up at least three or four of them by the end of May. Manuel, who guides New York's "other" baseball team, has been the subject of almost daily media speculation as the baseball season unfolds.
A Big League Show at a Small Town Price! In an era of super-priced professional sports entertainment, minor league baseball is still a bargain for the baseball-loving sports fan or people simply looking for an inexpensive night to watch a game at the park.

Grade III winner September Secret has been retired, owner/trainer Mike Machowsky said, and will likely be bred this year. The 4-year-old daughter of Our Emblem finished fourth in the Genuine Risk Handicap (gr. II) at Belmont Park in her last start May 11.
"Her knees have been bothering her," Machowsky said. "I've already been through two knee surgeries with her and she's had some trouble with quarter cracks behind, so I decided it was best to go ahead and retire her. I could have kept on going with her, but she's been too good to me to do that to her."
September Secret won the Railbird Stakes (gr. III) at Hollywood Park last year before being sidelined for nine months after knee surgery. The filly returned this year to finish third in the Las Flores Handicap (gr. III) and win an allowance race at Keeneland by a widening five lengths before her fourth in the Genuine Risk. From two seasons, the Kentucky-bred filly won four of seven starts, with one third, for earnings of $181,943.

Julian Clary emotional as crowned Celebrity Big Brother 2012 winner
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good on you man. Deserved victory. Camp as Christmas and Holly as Easter.
Yes- its really good that Julian won-despite the bigotry.AND-he never compromised his sexuality-even his victory statement said he was a homo! Good on you Julian-you do the gay community proud!!
Oh get over the 'community' crap. He is his own man.
It is good for the "gay community" to have confident and talented Gay people out of the closet and in the public eye.
Is Clary talented? All he ever seems to do is trot out innuendo laden tripe that the 'Carry On' team would have balked at. Young gay kids today need better role models than this guy. I find his whole schtick lame and dated.
I doubt Clary considers himself a representative of The Gay Community (whatever that is), but I do think someone who perpetuates stereotypes as much as he does ends up doing as much damage as good.
Hmm.. I see your point.
The thing is, I see nothing wrong with camp, effeminate stereotypes, because let's face it, we all know men like him, and little camp queens need heroes too; the point is, we also need ordinary, straight-acting, bloke-in-the-street type gays as well to balance it out and show to everyone that not all gay men do teapot impressions. -
I think people who challenge or subvert stereotypes are much more interesting and amusing.
What I'm trying to say is that the "gay community" is a myth.
If Julian helps other gay people feel more confident, then that has to be a good thing, but please don't try and steal the man's thunder.
I really like him and congratulations on your win Julian. You make us proud.
Truly the deserving winner! Julian is the essence of gentle in "Gentleman" He entered the BB house as a person with great integrity and succeeded in keeping it in the house and on his departure! A rarity for BB Julian you are a class act in every way!
There wasn't much to choose from really, a couple of page three models, retired soap actors and well that's about it.
Congratulations to Julian. You are now the democratically elected Queen of the UK and phuck the begrudgers……
He is cliched and not what I would consider a good role model for young gay people at all. Short of getting caught engaged in a sexual act in a toilet George Michael style he pretty much portrays all the stereotypical things that people dislike about gay guys. The innuendo, make up, constant reference to homo's. He's famous for camp and shock, nothing more….
And what is wrong with that?
I'd rather a gay man was doing mainstream comedy than some bigot like Jim Davidson.-
Or Spanner you could raise your standards and enjoy the efforts of genuinely funny comedians / entertainers instead of either of these. Didn't Clary make a comment about 'I've enjoyed spending time with straights, they are not all that bad' whilst he was in the house. I wonder how it would have gone down with the 'community' if Jim Davidson had said the same about gays. He even introduced himself as being famous for his comments about fisting Norman Lammont. So I state again, not a great role model for young gay people or much of an embassador for the gay 'community' (just my opinion of course)
What wonderful logical fallacies you apply.
Just because I prefer Julian Clary over Jim Davidson doesn't mean I rush out to buy tickets for all his shows.
I don't generally like camp humour. I much prefer dark satire and clever use of language with the likes of Mitchell & Webb, Jack Dee and Tim Minchin.

Apple PR head Katie Cotton to retire
Re/Code is reporting Apple's long time VP of worldwide corporate communications, Katie Cotton, is retiring after almost 20 years with the company.
The departure appears to be amicable as Cotton simply wants to spend more time with her family.
During her nearly two decades at Apple, Cotton served as gatekeeper to company co-founder Steve Jobs and current CEO Tim Cook, and guided the media narrative around pretty much everything from the iMac to the iPad. She's long been among the company's most powerful executives and played a key role in shaping the mystique and exclusivity surrounding the Apple brand.
In 2010, Cotton was ranked 50th on Fortune's list of "50 Most Powerful Women."
In a statement provided to Re/Code, Cotton explained that the decision to leave was difficult,
"This is hard for me," Cotton explained. "Apple is a part of my heart."

"Shop-Eat-Surf is a great source for the most up to date information of what is going on in our industry. I always enjoy reading the articles and appreciate the effort from Tiffany and her team."
- By Richard Woolcott, CEO and Founder, VolcomI'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.

SES: The monthly Credit Managers' Index dips to levels last seen during the credit crunch.
Details on Industry Insight.
Hollister is still the company's biggest growth vehicle both domestically and internationally. Here are some details:
- A multi-level Hollister flagship will open in Soho in spring 2009, with the goal of cementing "the iconic status of the Hollister brand in preparation for international growth," Abercrombie executives said.
- Hollister stores in Canada have recorded three times the sales as their U.S. counterparts.
- Hollister will enter the U.K. market with four stores in shopping centers, with the first one opening in October. The international strategy is to open Hollister stores in shopping centers rather than flagship locations. By comparison, Abercrombie & Fitch is looking for high impact locations in Milan, Paris, more in Japan beyond its previously announced Tokyo location, and other important international cities.
- The international business for the company as a whole will accelerate with the majority of store openings beginning in 2010 happening internationally. Executives believe Hollister will have significantly more penetration in Europe and Asia than Abercrombie's other brands because of its lower price points.
- Domestically, the company will open 67 Hollister stores in 2008 and will move into more "C" and "D" malls. For 2007, the company opened 58 Hollister stores and ended the year with 450 Hollister locations.
- Executives would not say how many total stores they believe Hollister can grow to. One executive said the company is constantly refining that number because "We don't want to over saturate with the brand as we've seen with some of Hollister's competition."
- The company is "very pleased" with Hollister's performance. Given the economic environment, "our business at Hollister at full-price selling is extraordinary."
- A new body care line at Hollister introduced in the back half of last year was incremental to most purchases. It sees the body care line as a way to fuel organic growth and is rolling it out to all Hollister locations in 2008.
-Company-wide, Abercrombie & Fitch is investing heavily in its business despite the tough economic environment, from expanding internationally to major infrastructure investments. In 2008, the company will spend $420 million to $425 million on capital expenditures. Analysts asked a lot of questions about the cost structure. Company executives said if the current environment gets worse they will align costs accordingly but they will "avoid resource cuts" that will hurt "long term growth initiatives."
Hollister fourth quarter financial results: Hollister sales rose 11 percent to $530 million. Same-store sales decreased 2 percent.
Companywide, fourth quarter sales rose 8 percent to $1.2 billion. Same-store sales fell 1 percent. Net income rose 9.3 percent to $216.7 million
Companywide, full year sales rose 13 percent to $3.7 billion. Same store sales decreased 1 percent. Net income rose 12.6 percent to $475.6 million.

User Reviews of Products
This is a great shell from Volcom! I'm going on about 25 days on the mountain and boarding in the rain with this one is no problem. You should definitely rock the pants with zip tech to hold them together for the pow days. This jacket is durable too, unlike other jackets that wear from carrying the board under your arm.
Adorable jacket. Excellent quality.
I find these gloves very stiff and somewhat tight. These gloves might be great for serious use, but they're kind of a pain for casual use, like driving, because it's work to get them on and off, also to bend your fingers once they're on.
Love this shell. I was looking for a stylish all black shell and this is perfect and exactly what I envisioned. Lightweight, snow skirt, and stylish. The fit is ideal for snowboarding: long and slightly baggy.
My daughter loves her coat, and so does everyone else! People are always complimenting her on it. She has been warm on the slopes too! Thanks Peter Glenn, this was the only Medium size we could find anywhere on the internet! She was very excited. We will definitely order from you again.
Terrific jacket! Lots of little extras, very pleased with assistance provided by the wonderful customer service representatives as well. Peter Glen is our new go to company!
Lightweight, warm, great colors, rugged material.
The jacket is great my grandson loves it. Will buy from you again.
This is a great stomp pad. Sticky and spiky. What else do you need? Oh and Volcom, cool as hell! Put em on all my boards
This jacket looks nice in the snow. It also has great snowboard characteristics. Volcom and Peter Glenn Rock

Oral presentation
Capacity defines the ultimate fidelity limits of information transmission by any system, be it conveyed by digital, analog or spike train signals. Rate-distortion theory shows that regardless of how error is defined, any system having a smaller capacity than another must result in larger estimation errors. For example, this theory shows that, for bandlimited Gaussian stimuli, the smallest possible mean-squared error decays exponentially with capacity. Since a single neuron's capacity is proportional to peak spike rate, ∝ exp{-λmax/eW} (W is the stimulus bandwidth).
In previous work, we derived the capacity of parallel Poisson process channels, which allows us to study the relative effectiveness of neural population structures. Here, we elaborate those results for two models of neural prosthetics: (1) electrical stimulation systems such as cochlear implants and (2) neural control systems that use surface or gross potentials to control movements of limb prostheses. We show that for the electrical stimulation case, the capacity is proportional to the size of the population being stimulated, regardless of whether the stimulus drives the entire population or whether individual neurons are independently stimulated (fig 1). In this case, gross stimulation theoretically suffices. In contrast, neural control systems using gross recordings have a far smaller capacity. If a single potential represents the aggregate population activity, we found that capacity does not increase with population size, but instead saturates at a value less than the capacity provided by using the individual outputs of two neurons to derive the control signal. If two gross potential measurements are made, assumed here to represent overlapping subpopulations, capacity is larger than in the single-potential case but still saturates with increasing population size.
Figure 1. Capacity as a function of neural population size.
We conclude that stimulation prosthetics face no fundamental barriers to being effective. Neural control systems do, however. This fundamental limitation can be overcome by using spike sorting (teasing apart the gross potential into its constituents) and/or by using feedback, which has been shown to increase capacity.

That's pretty Crumb-y.
Like the line in Black Adder, set during WWI.
'Don't worry, men, we'll be right behind you.'
'Yes, about 30 miles behind us.' -
How thoughtful of you, Crumb. Always looking out for Minime.
Um, why can't the birds just fly down and land on the feeder? I get that sort of conniving from the squirrels in my yard, but the birds fend for themselves.
Guessing Crumb is too fat for precision flying
By us, the mourning doves bounce off the hanging thistle feeder, then land to scarf up the fall-out.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 4,403 ViewsSo I'll give a little background on this. There's a film club at my school that gets together and plays uncensored student films a few times a quarter. The themes for this festival were
2)The Civil War
So this is what I made.
The song is 'Final Wars' by Buckethead.
Edit: I'm glad so many of you enjoyed it. It's obviously not serious on any level, just a little morsel of senseless blood. To those who say its too unrefined, I'd have to agree, I only had 4 days to complete it so there simply wasnt any time for my usual polish.
wtf did i just watch?
even though i couldnt understand it at all, it was still pretty sweet
Gimme' More
This seemed kind of interesting. Kind of reminded me of Naruto in a way but is disapointingly short.
That kicked ass :)
As crude as the animation was, it was pretty fluid and it was a lot much better than the ones most people claims they took weeks to complete, you have so much talent, I hope to see a full fledged story, fight, thing about pandas :)
Tho only thing that really bugged me is that it was VERY short.
Keep it up! :D
well done
after reading the comment about the video i get it now..lol. Nice work for only 4 days!

New SuperRigs show winner named after eligibility audit
Shell Rotella Global Brand Manager Chris Guerrero issued the following statement on the winner, after careful review found the original winning rig — Jonathan Eilen's 2007 Peterbilt 379 — did not meet all the eligibility requirements for the award:
After completing our eligibility verification process for the Shell Rotella SuperRigs Contest winners, it has been determined that the original winning entry chosen for the Best of Show category did not meet all of the eligibility requirements of a working truck and trailer in the Truck and Trailer category for the 2013 Shell Rotella SuperRigs contest. Therefore, the entry has been deemed ineligible for the Best of Show award.
The Best of Show winner is the 2012 Peterbilt 389 of Bill Rethwisch of Tomah, Wis.; Best of Show first runner up is the 1986 359 Peterbilt of Jeremy Hassevoort of Hamilton, Mich., and the Best of Show second runner up is the 2013 Peterbilt 389 of Kevin Pascavis from Richfield, Wis.
That makes two big wins for Rethwisch in the past two months, given his performance at the Crossville, Tenn., edition of Overdrive's Pride & Polish at the Fitzgerald Truck Show last month. You can now vote for Rethwisch or other rigs for the Pride & Polish National Championship Trucker's Choice award via this page.

Breathing Space is the story of Heidi Neumark and the Hispanic and African-American Lutheran church-Transfiguration-that took a chance calling on a pastor from a starkly different background. Despite living and working in a milieu of overwhelming poverty and violence, Neumark and the congregation encounter even more powerful forces of hope and renewal.
This story of a community creating space for new life and breath is also the story of a young woman-working, raising her children, and struggling for spiritual breathing space. Through poignant, intimate stories, Neumark charts her journey alongside her parishioners as pastor, church, and community grow in wisdom and together experience transformation.
About the Author
Tim Lefens is the founder of A.R.T. (Artistic Realization Technologies) and lives in Belle Mead, New Jersey.
Praise For…
With its hard-nosed realism and passion for God, this memoir should appeal to people of faith across the political spectrum.--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Surrounded by violence and poverty and threatened by urban renewal, Transfiguration Lutheran Church under pastor Neumark survived and, perhaps miraculously, thrived . . . Her story proves genuinely inspirational as we follow her from despair and frustration to cautious optimism in the face of a still tenuous future." --Booklist
"Breathing Space is a beautifully produced book, and it has a utopian poignancy . . . Yet it is grounded in the virtue of hope."--James S. Torrens, America: The National Catholic Weekly

I walk into the bakery and smile to the counter person. My attire and accessories give me away. The donuts and baguettes are safe for another few minutes.
The attendant chooses a grim countenance as she inquires about my need for assistance. My card flashes forward and I give my usual introduction – part explanation and part request for the owner's attention. My words of greeting were halfway to their intended recipient when an angry-looking man appeared from who-knows-where and practically charges the counter:
"We aren't interested!" he nearly shouts.
I step back involuntarily and assume the surrender position, saying:
"Hands up, don't shoot."
Angry-man just glowers. There is tension but I've been here before so I try again.
"I come in peace. Maybe, there's a better time to talk but I made sure the bakery wasn't busy before I came in."
The redness in his face pales a couple of shades but his face doesn't soften. Not even a little.
"People come in here all the time trying to sell us advertising. We are happy with what we are doing and don't want whatever it is you've got."
Okay, I get it. When one sells advertising door-to-door this interaction is as common as it is frustrating. After all, none of us is intentionally trying to waste a business owner's time, so why do they act like we are? More importantly, how do we get past the initial skepticism, or worse, to have a more productive conversation?
While we can debate the merits of selling advertising via door-to-door cold calling, the fact is that many of us do it and the practice isn't likely to stop just because it's difficult. So, simply saying one should never walk in cold is just not reality.
Since many of us are going to keep on doing it, our first step is understanding the likely root of the owner's reaction. Even if he isn't angry, he is not likely to be forthcoming. That's because he doesn't have a relationship with you.
Ah, you say, the first step then is to build a relationship with him. Okay, yes, but we are talking about a business relationship – not a personal one. Going in and inquiring about the owner's health isn't going to get it done. To figure out what to do, we must understand the basis of a business relationship.
Business relationships are built on the twin pillars of TRUST and CREDIBILITY. When you walk in off the street, you have neither. The objective should be to begin building the relationship on one of the pillars, but which one?
Most sellers attempt to go the TRUST route. They attempt to convey the commonalities shared with the prospect. "You can trust me because I'm just like you with a wife and kids and a business. My kids play soccer and go Trick or Treating and so do yours. Awesome! We should be business partners!" The problem with going down the trust route is two-fold:
- The owner thinks all sellers are disingenuous – acting with their own interests in mind at all times. A disingenuous salesperson can't be trusted with important details about his business! Any initial attempt at building trust is stonewalled.
- Trust is built by performance over time. Trying to invoke trust as the germination of a business relationship demonstrates a lack of understanding about the nature of trust. Trust is not built on a set of commonalities. We build trust in layers by demonstrating our dependability, honesty and forthrightness.
Because of these truths, the only possible pillar upon which to build a business relationship is CREDIBILITY. Luckily, for those of us walking cold into a business, credibility can be granted instantly. Here are few simple ways to gain credibility:
- Dress Appropriately
- Be respective of the ongoing operations
- Be prepared to do business
- Have appropriate sales collateral and "leave behinds"
- Bring testimonials from nearby or similar businesses
Of course, there are more but the point is to work on being credible so the business owner will take the time to meet with you. Then, you'll have opportunities to demonstrate your trustworthiness and the relationship will have a chance to grow.

Dennis Czado
Dennis F. "Zeke" Czado
LEXINGTON: Zeke Czado was an avid rocker. No, he didn't jam to rock music; he loved passing the time in his favorite rocking chair. His kids and grandkids knew if they sat in dad's chair they would get the boot when he walked in the room. He insisted a collapsible rocker be taken on family vacations because even when Zeke was sitting down he liked to keep moving.
On Friday morning, December 7, 2012 Dennis Frank "Zeke" Czado passed away in his home following a short illness. He was 70.
Born November 8, 1942 in Hamtramck, MI the son of Thomas W. and Mary A. (Czajkowski) Czado, Zeke was graduated from Pershing High School class of 1961 in Detroit. On September 10, 1966 he married Carol Ann Bartoles.
Working at
General Motors
as a machine operator, Zeke retired in July of 2005 after 41 years of service. He was an avid fan of Rhythm & Blues music and in his younger days enjoyed drag racing. Zeke was a member of the Filthy Few Racing Team, the
Elks Club
in Lexington, and United Auto Workers #549.
He is survived by his sons Thomas S. Czado of Mansfield, David A. Czado of Mansfield, and Robert K. (Mary) Czado of Marion, IN; and grandchildren Joshua, Alexandria, Sophia and Johnathan and Denise Czado.
Along with his parents he was preceded in death by his wife Carol.
A memorial service celebrating the life of Dennis will be held 1 p.m. Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at the Lexington Avenue Snyder Funeral Home. The Very Reverend Father Nelson Beaver will officiate.
Contributions in Zeke's memory to the Lexington Senior Civic Center may be made at the funeral home.
Private online condolences to the Czado family are encouraged by visiting:

Is anyone aware of an app which would kick off GPS after reboot so that it acquires the basic satellite and location information needed to do a warm- or hot-start later on? Seems like it would be an easy thing to do -- probably preferably delayed so that other more important boot-time processes can do their thing.
Note I'm not interested in one of those scripting apps, I'd prefer a dedicated app, if one exists.

Motorcyclist injured in crash near La Honda

As a longtime resident of La Honda, I have come to view anything with two wheels as a hazard on the roads here, and it's been getting worse with each passing summer. Almost everyone out here has a story to tell, and many people have been impacted directly by irresponsible drivers and riders. It bothers me that I worry about my mom and sister driving to and from church in PV on any given Sunday, because of maniac motorcycle riders passing on blind corners, risking a head-on for a cheap thrill. It would be nice if they would donate to our volunteer fire department, since they'll be the ones scraping these guys off the road later on this year. Hwy 84 is a beautiful drive, let's all enjoy it without compromising each others safety. Drive/ride safe and be courteous on the road!

Colorado is a state located in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States of America. Colorado may also be considered to be a part of the Western, Southwestern, Midwestern, and Central regions of the United States. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the state population was 4,753,377 in 2006, a 10.49% increase since U.S. Census 2000. Denver is the capital and the most populous city of Colorado. Citizens of Colorado are known as Coloradans.
The State of Colorado is defined as the geospherical rectangle that stretches from 37°N to 41°N latitude and from 102°03'W to 109°03'W longitude (25°W to 32°W from the Washington Meridian). Colorado is one of only three U.S. states (with Wyoming and Utah) that have only lines of latitude and longitude for boundaries.
The summit of Mount Elbert at 4401 meters (14,440 feet) elevation in Lake County is the state's highest point and the highest point in the entire Rocky Mountains. Colorado has approximately 550 mountain peaks that exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation. Colorado is the only U.S. state that lies entirely above 1000 meters (3281 feet) elevation. The state's lowest elevation is 1010 meters (3315 feet) at the point on the eastern boundary of Yuma County where the Arikaree River flows into the State of Kansas.
East of the Southern Rocky Mountains are the Colorado Eastern Plains of the High Plains, the section of the Great Plains within Colorado at elevations ranging from 3315 to 6562 feet (1010 to 2000 meters). The states of Kansas and Nebraska border Colorado to the east. The plains are sparsely settled with most population along the South Platte and the Arkansas rivers. Rainfall is meager, averaging from 12 to 18 inches (300 to 450 millimeters) annually. There is some irrigated farming, but much of the land is used for dryland farming or ranching. Winter wheat is a typical crop and most small towns in the region boast both a water tower and a grain elevator.
The bulk of Colorado's population lives along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in the Front Range Urban Corridor. This region is partially protected from prevailing storms by the high mountains to the west.
To the west lies the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains with notable peaks such as Longs Peak, Mount Evans, Pikes Peak, and the Spanish Peaks near Walsenburg in the south. This area drains to the east, is forested, and partially urbanized.

FOR THE FIRST time more women are registering for professional service firm work than men, according to a specialist recruiter.
Last year 1,209 women registered as candidates compared to 1,177 men from 1 January 2013 to 31 December. This compares to just 47% of women making up the 5,734 in 2012 at Randstad Financial & Professional.
Further reading
The news follows on from Lloyds Bank recently announcing a target of 40% of its senior staff to be female in the next six years. This compares to the government coming under heavy criticism for having an all-male front bench at PMQs earlier this year.
The latest statistics from the Universities and Colleges Admission Service for 2013/14 said that more women than men are applying with 333,700 of its entrants as female.
Tara Ricks (pictured), managing director of Randstad Financial & Professional, said: "The size of the female talent pool has increased to the extent that, at the application stage at least, women now outnumber men.
"Over the last ten years, there has been a lot of work done to help organisations understand the links between having a diverse organisation, an inclusive work environment and strong business performance."
The government is calling for 25% of all FTSE 100 boards positions to be occupied by women by 2015.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.
