I've noticed La Monarca before but never really bothered to walk in. I almost didn't this time as I was trying to find the Starbucks that Google said was nearby (I never made it to Starbucks, I think it's in the Vons across the street). I was in front of La Monarca and hesitated to go in because it was...
La Monarca Bakery celebrates Mexico's baking tradition to its best. If you are in Santa Monica stop by in the morning get a mexican style hot chocolate and a "concha" dip it and sip it slowly it will confort you like a hug from your mother!!!
If you a more hungry make time for Molletes... their's are delicious, a lovely...
This place is really lovely. They have a large selection of delicious pastries that they make in-house. Their coffee was really good, but definitely made me feel a little cracked out. Too strong for me. There isn't too much seating, but there's some.
La Monarca is new to me and was I impressed by the selection and freshness of their stuff. They also serve soups, salads and sandwiches which also looked delicious.
Friendly Staff, great coffee (cafe d oja is my favorite, but is only served in the morning). Love the conchas and wedding cookies too.
The majority of the customers come here for a decent cup of coffee and to use the free wireless internet. Staff is friendly and helpful. Their strawberry shortcake slice was too sweet for my taste. But the box of wedding cookies were excellent. It's a departure from Starbucks and in my neighborhood. Better and less expensive mexican pastries are available...
Got my daughters birthday cake here. Strawberry organic cake ... Delish. Fresh, light, whipped cream like frosting--i dont usually like frosting but this was great. Other pastries are also super. Highly recommend.
It's nice to go some place other than a typical Starbucks or Coffee Bean for a coffee break and a snack. You self serve yourself from cabinets displaying a variety of choices; something sweeter to a basic fresh roll. They also have a few hot bakery related items that can be ordered and would be considered a light meal. Good...

Margaretville's bats were booming in South Kortright Thursday as the Blue Devils pounded 18 hits to crush South Kortright 13-3, and remain undefeated in Delaware League baseball play. The Blue Devils smashed six extra-base hits in the contest.
Registration is open for the inaugural Cannonsville Adventure Triathlon, a brand-new event in and around the Cannonsville Reservoir in the towns of Deposit, Tompkins and Hancock on June 5.
The race features a 10K (6.2 mile) run, followed by a 3.9-mile paddle, and finishes with a 12-mile bike ride. The paddle, bike and run courses will feature some of the most breathtaking scenery in Delaware County, set along the pristine waters of the Cannonsville Reservoir and rimmed with the forested beauty of the Catskill Mountains.
Margaretville Bowl held its 12th Annual 700 Club Tournament on Friday, April 15.
The tournament was open to any bowler who rolled a 700 series (three games) at the lanes. This year's tournament featured 12 bowlers.
The field competed for nearly $400 in prize money donated by eight local businesses.
The tournament was won by Tom Miller who defeated Armen Murad, 231-216, in the final.
Third place went to Justin Spickerman and fourth place was won by Bob Erickson.
JR Lawrence, with a 710 series, rolled the second 700-series in tournament history.

It didn't take long.
The Margaretville and Roxbury softball teams ended their Delaware League season last year squaring off against one another in the Crossover Championship game. Mar-garetville won that game to bring home the crown.
The two teams are undefeated in the early going this spring and will bang heads again April 13 in Roxbury. The contest is in an early season showdown that could go a long way in answering which team will be the Delaware League trailblazers in 2011.
By John Bernhardt
Roxbury battled from behind Monday to overtake Davenport and win a 7-5 decision on the road. After falling behind by four runs after two innings, the Rockets stormed from behind, tying the game in the top of the sixth and scoring three times in their final at bat to nail down the victory.
Sophomore Nick Hamil started the game for Roxbury but ran into some trouble in the early going. Davenport scored a pair of runs in both the first and second frames to build a 4-0 lead after two innings.
By John Bernhardt
Slowly, patiently, one step at a time, Roxbury coach Greg Funck has built a baseball foundation. Funck's emphasis on fundamentals, his focus on knowing and executing the game, and his enthusiasm and love for baseball, has positioned Roxbury to make some noise in the Delaware League this spring.
By John Bernhardt
In recent years, spring in the Catskills has meant fast running sap, great trout fishing, the sweet smell of blossoming lilacs, and softball and baseball success on the Margaretville outdoor diamonds.
The Margaretville softball and baseball teams open their 2011 seasons buoyant and ready to go to work trying to extend their recent championship successes. The Blue Devils' softball team is looking to lengthen their three-year hold on the Delaware League's Mountain Division championship.

Too big. Too fast. Too strong. That's the no-fail formula Coleman Catholic used to roll past South Kortright in the semi-finals of Saturday's New York State Class D, Girls' Basketball Final Four at the McDonough Sports Complex on the Hudson Valley Community College campus in Troy.
In Coleman Catholic, SK ran head first into a high school girls' basketball machine. Coleman has everything; speed, exceptional guard play, strong inside power, and a genuine star in junior Makenzie Burud.

This past Saturday the Pine Hill Arms held their 20th Triathlon at Belleayre Mountain and the surrounding area.

It was hair-raising. It was nail biting. It was gut-wrenching. Until Robin Ward hit two foul shots with 0.9 seconds left in Saturday's New York State Class D, Girls' Regional Championship game at SUNY Oneonta, no more than three points ever separated the South Kortright Rams and Hamilton Emerald Knights basketball teams.
Ward's foul shot locked down a 32-27 SK victory propelling the Rams to the Final Four for the second time in the past three years.

Google Promotes Maps and Local Listings With Decals and QR Codes
It's not everyday that someone says you're a favorite, especially when that someone is Google.
Yesterday I received a letter from Google's Local Business Team regarding my Internet consulting firm, Dunkirk Systems, LLC. It stated my Google Local listing is a "Favorite Place of Google" and reinforced this with stats – it was viewed 346 times in the 3rd quarter of 2009. Along with this letter of praise came a window decal stating "We're a Favorite Place on Google" which features a QR code with a link to the mobile version of my Google Local listing. If you have a QR code reader on your mobile device, click on the accompanying photo to see a larger version of it from which you can scan the QR code and navigate to the link, or view the link to my mobile listing in your Web browser.
Where I haven't done any poking around to see who else got a similar letter, there is some value in this, and just the opposite. First off, Google Local listings work. I have been seeing the hits coming to the Dunkirk Web site from the Local listing in my Google Analytics reporting. It is also yet another way to drive traffic to you and your business. Google Local also gives the ability for people to rate a business, similar to Yelp, which also provides businesses with window stickers.
For a retail establishment, this is a great program to offer the window stickers. But for a business like mine, it isn't something I can leverage. First off, my mailing address is different from my office location. And my office isn't typically where I meet my clients or have walk-in traffic. But Google Local doesn't know this, nor did they ask.
Legendary US Congressman and House Speaker Tip O'Neil is known for his quote, "all politics is local." Can the same be said for search? Yes and no, with an emphasis on the word "and." If you don't have a Google Local listing for your business, set one up right away. Today, there's many services offered by Google, at no cost, that businesses and Web sites must use. So it's quite obvious I use them myself, and do business with Google in many ways. Whatever your opinion of them, keeping up with what is offered by the Internet giant is vital.Business • Technology • Mobile Technology • QR Codes • (1) Comments • Permalink
Nokia E72 Unboxing Video
Thanks to the great folks at WOMWorld/Nokia, I will be evaluating the new Nokia E72 device for the next few weeks. It arrived last week, and here is a video I made of my first impressions as I was unboxing it.
If you cannot see the video above, follow this link to watch my Nokia E72 Unboxing Video.
I will use it as my primary device, as I have switched my T-Mobile SIM from my Nokia E70 device to this. I am going to give it some time and really try it out, including installing the new Ovi Store and several apps, including Qik, ShoZu, Facebook and a Twitter client. I also plan on reading the instruction manual – seriously.
For the sake of full disclosure, and to avoid fines from the bureaucrats at the FTC, here's the deal with me evaluating this device. I have been lent the device, and will be sending it back to WOMWorld/Nokia once completed. I am not being paid anything for evaluating this device, and I have not been asked or directed as to what to say. Also, in 2008 I was invited to participate in Nokia's first OpenLab, and you can read more about it at psurl.com/fuftc.
Watch The Hot Iron for a full report when I am done reviewing it, or if I decide to share something in the interim, like photos or videos or who knows what! I will be sharing thoughts on it on Twitter - follow me @thehotiron.

The Unloader Allows You To Recycle Digital Documents Online
As a way of promoting their E series of mobile devices, Nokia created a Web microsite called The Unloader, where you can upload a digital document and it is either recycled or destroyed through the site. It is a clever idea site which takes an image of the uploaded document and merges it with video and audio of "real" equipment doing the destruction.
The site has been out for a while, but I just rediscovered it this week. To play with it again, I decided to destroy the FTC guidelines for blogging! Below is the embedded video from the experience.
What else can you destroy here? Perhaps a PDF of a small paystub or a copy of your tax bill? The options are endless! And for the sake of full disclosure, I was an attendee at Nokia's first OpenLab and the global device manufacturing leader lent me an E71 device to evaluate for a month at no cost, for which I wrote a review.

Testing Mippin To Mobilize The Hot Iron
Mobile devices are the next frontier of the Internet. Where companies and even governments are now battling it out over the desktop, it is the device you can fit in your pocket that will be the next place they will be after. Where those reading this who live outside of the US are very in tune with this, folks here are not so much aware of this, namely as mobile devices are now crossing over from being simple phones to smartphones.
Now I will step off my soapbox and talk about practical applications, which is the path to the success of conquering the mobile frontier. When I recently happened upon Mippin, a service that will format your blog to display on a mobile device, I had to try it out. By creating a free account and entering my blog's URL, it created an optimized version of The Hot Iron for a mobile device. You can see this for yourself by clicking the widget above or click this link. You are sent to a page to display it on your device, whether by entering a URL manually of scanning a QR code. As it is a Web page, you can display it in a standard Web browser as well.
Eventually I plan to build my own mobile-optimized version of The Hot Iron, but for now this is a good stand-in for it. I welcome your input on how this mobile format looks and works for you.

Mike Maddaloni featured in CBS2 Chicago Story on T-Mobile Paper Bill Charges
As much as a mobile phone is a high tech device, it doesn't necessarily mean everybody who uses one is also high tech. In most cases, that is not the case. When I heard T-Mobile, who is my mobile provider, is going to start charging for paper copies of bills to be sent, I was honestly surprised. I heard about it in a tweet from CBS2 Chicago, and responded with my stance.
Shortly after I was asked if I would like to be interviewed about the story, to which your humble and definitely not camera-shy writer quickly obliged. The accompanying photo is a screen shot from the interview today on CBS2 with reporter Vince Gerasole, and by clicking on the picture or this link to the CBS2 Web site you can watch the story.
Maybe I am hyper sensitive to such issues in my capacity as a Web architect and developer, but the ultimate goal of any use of retail technology is to help those using it. As much as online billing is alive and flourishing, not to mention my use and support of it, I also understand that we are "not there yet" as a society when it comes to being completely paperless. Some people prefer a paper bill, especially for those who are not online continuously as others are. T-Mobile is charging $1.50 for a non-detailed bill (not listing all calls) and $3.50 for a bill listing them all. I can see if they wanted to impose a charge on a detailed bill, as they tend to run long (in the news story, the bill I printed was 18 pages), but charging even for a basic bill makes no sense to me.
Rather that starting with the charge, T-Mobile should incentivize people by offering them a credit, say US$5, to go paperless. That may cover most people. For those remaining, this should have already been worked into your pricing structure to send bills in some form. Rather than sending bulky envelopes with all kinds of inserts, perhaps send the statement in a self-sealing sheet, similar to how some checks are sent? There are other options – explore them!
I must admit I am a very satisfied T-Mobile customer, and I have stated that before here on The Hot Iron. However, one issue I do have is with billing. Where I get my bill online, I never get an email or even SMS alert that my bill is available. I have to rely on my credit card statement to see a new bill has been cut. Also, the T-Mobile site offers an HTML version of the bill and not a PDF version, so someone would need the software to make PDFs in order to save it digitally. Most other vendors send email alerts and offer PDFs.
I'm interested in how this issue plays out, and if other providers capitalize on it, or if all others start charging for bills. In any case, we all need to be aware about what is showing up on our bills. For this issue, I thank CBS2 Chicago for letting me know about it.

Selling My Palm Treo 680 Unlocked Device on eBay
All good things come to an end, and so does the use of my Palm Treo 680 unlocked device. Since making the switch to Nokia about a year ago, I have decided to put the Treo 680 up for sale on eBay, along with a slew of accessories, as you can see below.
Along with the device itself, which is in good order but has some wear, there are a large number of cables and chargers, plus a spare battery. If you're looking for an unlocked device, this could be yours.
The auction closes next Monday and the bidding begins at a penny!

SpinVox Is My Voicemail Hero
There comes a time when you introduce something remarkable in to your business or life that you almost don't realize it is even there. For me, that is SpinVox, a service which transcribes voicemail to text.
I started using SpinVox in January, and here it August. I was setup with an account by James Whatley, SpinVox's Head of Digital & Social Media Strategy, whom I met at the Nokia OpenLab last year in Helsinki. The service is tied to my mobile voicemail, and as it worked so well I added it to my Vonage account, which they refer to it as Visual Voicemail. Since then it has been such a vital tool for me, I almost forgot life without it.
How It Works
SpinVox replaces your mobile carrier's own voicemail system, in my case T-Mobile. This is achieved by forwarding all calls that do not answer to numbers tied to the SpinVox system. When someone leaves me a voicemail, I get both an email and a SMS (or text message as we call it in the US). Each has the transcribed text of the voicemail plus numbers to call to listen and reply to the message. For my Vonage line, it was simply adding the service, and the regular emails and SMSs I received now have the text of the message.
So how well does it transcribe it? Not bad! Common words come through without missing a beat. Names and not-so common words come through pretty well, and if it cannot translate it exactly, it does it phonetically and even puts a question mark next to it. For example, my last name, Maddaloni, is usually spelled out phonetically. All in all I rarely have to listen to a message to understand it, but if I want to I can. The delivery of messages is not instantaneously as compared to traditional voicemail, but it usually arrives within a few minutes.
Why It Works
You may be asking, as I did originally, so what? There are 2 benefits to SpinVox that made me a true believer. The first is the ability to read a voicemail message when you don't have the ability to listen to it. In the middle of a meeting, calls get translated to text and you can get the gist of it without putting the device to your ear. Many times a return email or SMS to the caller will do the trick. A second and equal benefit is the ability to file and store transcriptions of voicemails. This is huge, as many times project details are communicated by voicemail, and now you have a written record that can be stored in email archives or in other digital files.
Another feature of SpinVox is Memo. This is where you can speak a message to yourself and it is delivered in an email message to you. I find myself using this when I am out for a walk and ideas come to me, and I don't have – or want – paper and a pen.
Reading voicemail is a great convenience in today's multitasking world, and SpinVox makes it easy. It is available through several carriers, such as Vonage, Skype and Verizon in the US and Rogers in Canada. If you are not on these carriers you can get it as an add-on through uReach. On the uReach or SpinVox sites you can try it for yourself to see how well it translates your voice, which for me at least was an experience the first time I saw it.

Great Video Explaining Unlocked Mobile Phones
Regular readers of The Hot Iron know I have written a post or 2 (more like several) on unlocked mobile devices, or mobile phones as some know them as. Where I have tried to explain it, the following video does a great job explaining the benefits of an unlocked device. Watch the video below or view the video directly.
This video showcases the specific US network providers as not all of them offer a SIM card. This differs greatly from pretty much the rest of the world! Devices like the iPhone and many other models stamped with a carrier's logo are locked to those networks, and there isn't even the option to use a SIM card. This video is from Nokia, who sells mostly unlocked devices, though recently they have offered models locked to Verizon Wireless.
Of course, unlocked devices cost more. But their value is also greater as you have a better chance of reselling it as the market for it is greater. Some device manufacturers, like Apple, only want you to use them on a specific network, as they have made business deals with the network provider for exclusivity. Where that may work for them, it doesn't work for the masses who want a particular device. The providers like locked devices as they probably see it a big part of their competitive advantage, which is a lot harder than providing excellent customer service!
This video is a great start to educating people, but it will time. In the meantime, I shy away from the iPhone. But note to Steve Jobs – I would be willing to pay a lot more than the highest price you currently charge for the iPhone to get one unlocked!

My Nokia E75 Experience
After several weeks with a Nokia E75 mobile device, from the kind generosity from the folks at WOM World/Nokia I just couldn't put my finger on it. I took this device on planes, trains and automobiles – even ferries – and was my only camera at a wedding. A few blog posts here at The Hot Iron were written on it too. Still, I was having a hard time deciding what I thought of the device.
Then it hit me; it isn't for me.
It was while waiting for a train from Chicago to Milwaukee when I realized this. Standing in the tiny Amtrak lobby, I saw many people typing away on keyboard device models by Samsung and LG among others. As I observed their pecking away on their device's full keyboards, I noticed the keys were smaller than those on the E75, which are much larger than most devices out there. The people using them were probably in their 20's and 30's and were very adept at "texting" as we call it in the States. As I looked at the E75 in my hands, it then dawned on me why it wasn't for me.
Here's my conclusion – the E75 is for the business user who isn't comfortable with the small size of keyboards such as those on a Blackberry or even like on the Nokia E71.
Now I don't base this on anything I have read elsewhere, only my own brainpower. As I consider myself a high-end tech user, and love the E71 the issues I had with using the keyboard on the E75 were due to the fact I was trying to use it like I did the E71 – fast, and with one hand. This is not what the E75's slide out keyboard was designed for.
My evaluation process was more utilitarian than scientific. I simply charged the E75, put my T-Mobile SIM card in it, synced my contacts and calendar and started using it as my primary device during the trial. I did install Qik and tried the Ovi Store – actually I did them in the reverse order as I was unable to install Qik from the Ovi Store, so I went directly to Qik's Web site to initiate the install.
As a mobile phone, the E75 works well. The best way to describe the keypad is that is similar to shingles on a house. I've never seen this concept before and it worked for me. The Navi key was familiar to me as I used it on the E71. Much of the use of the E75 was like the E71, including a camera on the front as well as back, ideal for self-portraits and recording video of one's self.
It seems the main selling point of the device is the slide out keyboard. The actual sliding part was solid as the device is overall. Down the middle of the keyboard is a metal bar which I presume is for stability. When the keyboard slides out the action buttons on the phone keypad remain active as well as the Navi key, but the remaining keys are disabled. This is too bad, as it's difficult to quickly key numbers on the keyboard and leaving them active would have alleviated this issue.
Here's some specific regarding the E75 keyboard. There is only one function key, which you need to get to the alternate characters on keys, namely numbers. This made it hard to type traditionally or with thumbs as you would on a smaller keyboard. It was also hard for my fat fingers to press the top row of keys as it kept hitting the edge of the top of the phone from where the keyboard slides from. On top of it all, the flat keys prevented "feel" typing.
As for the camera, overall it was good and much better than I anticipated. It took decent photos in daylight as well as good video. Photos at night were somewhat grainy and those from a distance were a little blurred. I didn't try any of the settings on the camera as I used it in auto mode always. I have uploaded some photos to a Flickr group for your perusal. I was able to get some great photos and video of my friend's wedding which was a good thing.
Thus my conclusion that the E75 is for a low-tech business user who thinks standard keybaords on mobile devices are too small. Any other takers on this opinion?
So E75, it's not you – it's me. There is a match for you out there, and you two will make a great pair. Your older sibling the E71 is more my type, or it's half-sibling the E72 may be the one for me?

Two weeks ago I bought tickets for a concert at the Old Town School of Music where Seth is taking guitar lessons.
Seth seems partial to bluegrass music; who am I to argue? The plan was to see Andy Statman and the warm-up band called The Golden Prairie All Stars, which featured mandolin player Don Stiernberg .
Unfortunately, Sunday night did not go as planned. Late in the afternoon, and out of no where, Seth developed a nasty fever. Seth kept asking, "But can I go anyway?"
I told my boy we'd wait and see, perhaps the fever would pass quickly. A few minutes later, my wife Anne reported that Seth was sleeping in our bed. It was obvious he would sleep straight into the night.
What to do? I called some friends up and offered them tickets. None could change their plans on such short notice.

What Color Would You Paint This?
Sorry, I know this should be in the paint forum, but no one responds there and this is more towards design anyways.
I'm going to paint the exterior of my house, it's an older 1960's single family home, but I have made the inside have more of a contemporary feel with lots of greys and blues and contemporary furniture. The house currently is an ugly green color and the roof kind of has a pinkish tone to it.
I'm struggling to find a color that would make the house look updated and go with the roof. I was thinking of having someone paint the roof tiles a light gray and then maybe paint the outside white? If the tiles stay the same color what color would work to make it updated...I don't like yellow.
(And yes I know the pillars in the front need to be replaced due to the styling, and I will be replacing the outdoor lights with more contemporary fixtures.
The first thing that comes to my mind is something in the medium grey range with a lighter grey column. I didn't know you could paint the roof tiles. Maybe they wouldn't look so bad once you toned down the house. I'd also remove that front hedge and plant something low-growing in front of the left side of the porch and continue it in front toward the entry. You don't show the entire front, but it looks like a white vinyl fence to the left too. Same with that single shrub between the entry and the garage. Make a planting bed out of that small space.
I would not paint the roof! Some of the paints can destroy your roof. It might take a year or two or three but a roof has to breath, if not it traps the moisture. Spray is a very bad idea; people do it though not knowing it will shorten the roof's life span.
Agree with jterrilynn........don't paint the roof. Imagine what it would look like when the paint starts peeling!
I would go with gray tones or gray/white for the exterior.
Instead of replacing the columns check into the sleeves that can go over existing columns. A carpenter may be able to reshape or box in the ornate top of each column.
I feel that gray would conflict with roof. The roof is really warm-toned and I think a paint should be too. I think that's why the green you have now isn't working with the roof.
The traditional color for this tile roof is just a cream-off white. Since you are trying to go in a more contemporary direction, how about a chocolate type brown and paint the accents a slightly lighter version of the same color?
Here is a link that might be useful:
Please don't paint those wonderful roof tiles. They were meant to be the exact color they are now, and anything else will look odd, IMO. I think a creamy off-white would work best on your brick.
(Disregard the website logo - shown for photo only):
In fashion, I often see pink paired with chocolate brown or charcoal gray, so that's what I thought of as soon as I read your description. After seeing the photo, I still think those would be good choices. I see others have recommended these as well. (My personal preference would be a charcoal gray.)
I caught this thread doing a search for PINK EXTERIOR--
because we bought second home in FL that has roof tiles very similar and want to repaint the house's exterior...
right now it is a grayish white with darker gray trim--very un-Florida colors IMO and the house could stand some brightening up...
it is difficult to keep a White House truly white because the water for the sprinkler system comes from well on our lot and it has sulfur or something in it--leaves a yellow stain on some lower areas of the exterior...
I wanted to paint the house yellow until we realized the roof tiles are really PINK w/some black streaks painted on...
yellow won't work with those tiles and neither will a tan...
WHAT did you decide to go with for your house???
These tiles seem to be more Santa Barbara than FL gulf coast to me--
our house is only one in our subdivision with them and all the houses have tile roofs--it is an HOA requirement...
Don't paint the tile roof!! Tile will expand and contract and paint and the paint will peel and look awful.
I would paint the stucco creamy white, which looks best with the roof and the intended Spanish style.
I think the problem with your current color is the greenish cast which clashes with the roof.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ask the expert
Hi Mike,
I have a dresser that was purchased in an antique store in Southern Ontario and given to us for a wedding gift 37 years ago. It has brass fittings and lovely beveled mirrors. The top pieces are attached by large wooden dowels.
I have attached a photo and would appreciate any information you can give me on this item.
Thank you.
-- Theresa, Fort Frances, Ont.
Dear Theresa,
You have a very beautiful ladies' vanity dresser. It appears to be made of walnut, with walnut veneers. It would date circa 1910.
This would have been a very expensive piece of furniture in its day. I think it would have originally come with a stool. I notice some veneer chipping away at the bottom.
Antique furniture has dropped in price over the last 10 years. Your dresser in its present condition should sell for $500 to $750.
Mike Huen is an antique dealer and owner of Mike's General Store in Winnipeg.

Essay in the New York Review of Books about why climate change deniers are wrong. Might be interesting reading, although I suspect that we already know this. I would be more interested in ignoring the deniers (as I usually ignore those who deny evolution) and working on mitigation.

Thank you
#Hack4Congress Boston took place January 30-March 1 at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Dear Hack4Congress-ers,
What a fantastic event. We can't thank you enough for spending your weekend with us, working to find a way to bring Congress into the 21st Century. We were blown away by your enthusiasm, the depth of the projects you presented, and your dedication to building a better government for all of us.
We were also thrilled to see participants from a wide range of expertise coming together around these problems. Civic hacking is not just for technologists (though we love you too, technologists!) — to find lasting solutions to the complex issues Congress faces we need the involvement of experts from all walks of life. Big thanks to attendees as well who traveled from across the country and from Canada to be with us this weekend. In the end, about 150 people came to hack, and the opening panel on Friday night was standing room only.
Help us make Hack4Congress even better:
We're organizing at least two additional Hack4Congress events this year. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey to help make these hackathons even better.
Hack4Congress made some waves!
Hack4Congress was covered by:
- The Boston Herald (print and online)
- Government Technology Magazine
- The Harvard Crimson (print and online)

Save the date for Hack4Congress San Francisco and Hack4Congress DC:
We're thrilled to announce that POPVOX will be co-organizing a Hack4Congress in San Francisco along with Harvard's Ash Center and The OpenGov Foundation. Make sure to mark your calendars for March 21–22. More information coming soon.
The OpenGov Foundation will host a Hack4Congress in Washington, DC April 30–May 1, co-organized with Harvard's Ash Center. We hope to see you there!
Thank you to our judges, panelists, experts, and sponsors for making this event possible!
Hack4Congress would not have been possible without the support of our co-sponsors, our panelists, our judges, and our expert consultants. Thank you so much for your support!
"In the private sector we're able to implement solutions, try new things, use open source [technology], whatever we wanted to do . . . Here there's a very arcane process and it delays technology . . . it really impedes my ability as a Representative to work for the people of the 2nd Congressional District of Colorado."
–Congressman Jared Polis
"Before I came to Congress I worked in the electronics industry, a place where every day we try to find . . . [ways to make] products more convenient and easier, and access more natural to human beings. That's something we don't find in Congress, but it's something I believe we can bring to Congress."
–Congressman Darrell Issa
Congress can do better.
Let's make it happen.
This weekend over 200 political scientists, designers, journalists, educators, civic technologists, and other experts will gather in Cambridge, Massachusetts to find ways for Congress to operate more efficiently, effectively, and collaboratively.
Proposed projects include rethinking the legislative ideation process; designing modern participatory committee hearings; making the legislative process and legislative text more accessible to the public; and building a database for in-office tracking of policymakers' actions on specific issues.
The hackathon is one of two events; the first takes place this weekend at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and the second will be in Washington, DC in mid-April. Registration for both events is free.

Why we do what we do
The OpenGov Foundation's Executive Director said it best on Alexis Ohanian's Small Empires series:
"There are so many people in this country who are brilliant, who have good ideas, who are crying out for government to meet their needs…that aren't heard because they aren't rich. They don't have lobbyists. They don't have influence. And they don't get through. And where technology comes into that is it makes government fundamentally able to listen."
Join #Hack4Congress. Help us bring our democracy into the 21st Century.
More information on projects and registration at Hack4Congress.org.
Co-organized by Harvard's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, and by The OpenGov Foundation, the event is co-sponsored by The Sunlight Foundation, Congressional Management Foundation, Microsoft New England, Represent.Us, CODE2040, POPVOX, Capitol Bells, Generation Citizen, and the Participatory Politics Foundation.
The Sunlight Foundation asked leaders in the open government and civic technology movements what President Obama should say in tonight's State of the Union address to set the tone for open government policy in 2015. Here's what our Executive Director Seamus Kraft had to say:
"Open government should mean better government built in full partnership with "We the People." It should mean better service delivery and easier access for all Americans to the heart of our democracy: our public laws, public officials and a public accounting of where and how every dime of our tax dollars is spent. With a dazzling array of technologies and innovations at our fingertips, truly open government should possible in every state house, city hall and even our nation's capitol.
"Much work remains to fulfill the heady open government promises made at the dawn of President Obama's term. We have a long way to go to change the "Culture of Closed" that still reigns supreme. That culture change will only arrive through cooperation and collaboration, two things in dearly short supply in today's Washington, D.C.
"I hope to hear the president tout his incipient open government accomplishments — from the General Service Administration's crowdsourced development of a civic engagement playbook, to the creation of 18F, to the implementation of the DATA Act. But I also hope to hear a clear commitment to work with the career civil service, the Senate and the House of Representatives to ensure that, when the president rides off into the sunset, these small victories do not disappear, but endure and grow."
Visit the Sunlight Foundation's post to see contributions from other open government leaders.
At The OpenGov Foundation, we believe that for the public to secure better outcomes from their government, the technological and cultural "pain points" felt by those serving on the inside must be addressed. As Congressional staffers and contractors, we felt this pain first-hand. Making the daily grind of public service and citizenship more efficient, effective and user-friendly is why we exist.
To better understand the needs of users working at all levels of government, we regularly hold discussions with elected officials, chiefs of staff, clerks, press secretaries, legislative directors and staff assistants. What we've learned paints a picture of workplaces — from City Hall to Capitol Hill — struggling to adapt to the Internet Age. But there is hope: many good people are working hard to change the culture of governance and technology from the inside.
In our last post, we talked about how important it is to know how to navigate the political process if you want to be heard by your elected officials. In this final post we'll discuss a shift in the citizen-government relationship.
Part 3: Technology Is Changing The Citizen-Government Relationship…And Government Can't Keep Up
Tech Is Changing the Citizen-Government Relationship…
"If access to our legislation increases in a way that the average American can understand then people aren't as reliant on media sources that are often biased" –Legislative staffer
"The way we communicate with our constituency is unbelievably narrow compared to where we're going to need to be a decade from now . . . these are the people that are consuming everything in sight but they are also the people that are noisy beyond anything that we've ever seen." –Legislative staffer
"They're starting to say, 'let me hand you the piece of legislation. Don't look at the news report, look at the piece of legislation, and then tell me what you think." –Legislative staffer
We're in the middle of a communications revolution. Members of Congress are already branching out onto social media, searching for new ways to communicate with their constituents and each other. As one staffer pointed out, Americans are beginning to turn away from traditional news conglomerates for information, and looking for more direct sources, like streaming video or Twitter. But many elected officials and staffers remain wary of scathing comments sections and the ugliness of anonymous Internet correspondence.
Congress is also struggling to find better ways to understand the American public. Running traditional subject polling still involves using landlines, leaving out an increasingly large swath of the American public.
This raises a whole host of interesting questions on how Congress will adapt for the future, and how the relationship between Congressional offices and everyday Americans will change.
…And Government Can't Keep Up
"One of the reasons why we have so many problems in America today is that the bureaucracy doesn't regulate at the speed of technology." –Chief of Staff
The complicated manner in which Congress creates legislation slows everything down. To some extent, that's exactly how it should be–the process (supposedly) ensures the proper vetting of legislation. But it's not just the many ponderous steps from introduction to committee to vote that takes awhile. The process of writing the bills themselves takes a great deal of time and patience. One legislative director mentioned spending a full year on just one bill. After long periods of researching and drafting and editing and collaborating, bills go through evaluation by legislative council. And a lot of this still happens on paper or PDFs.
Bills also typically alter existing laws, which are referenced in the legislative language by official title, and which require constant reference to those laws in order to be understood. One legislative staffer admitted that the time-consuming nature of doing this actually causes him to put off important work. Others admitted that the complex legalese in which bills are written don't just make them less accessible to the public, they make it harder for those inside of Congress to understand the implications of bills. And altering PDFs and keeping track of changes and versions of documents remains complicated.
The slow movement of legislation through Congress means that our government can't keep up with the accelerating pace of innovation. The staffers we spoke with worried about the societal implications of government failing to regulate technologies like self-driving cars and drones in a timely manner.
Simplifying legislative language, streamlining the drafting process, or providing better ways to reference and display the laws legislation alters could make small but essential increases in the speed of legislating.
Though the problems we've discussed in the last three posts are most obvious at the Federal level, they exist at all levels of government–local, state, and federal. We'll address local government issues in future posts.
Most problems faced by American government today can't be fixed with technology alone. But better tools and processes would allow staffers to focus on what matters, and create an effective government, that better understands the needs of the American people, and better addresses the complicated issues of the 21st Century.
In their quest for innovative startups changing the world, Alexis Ohanian and The Verge traveled to Washington, D.C. for the season finale of Small Empires. The episode — on the Capitol Bells app — featured The OpenGov Foundation's co-founder Seamus Kraft, and look at OpenGov's Madison open source online policymaking platform, which the Obama Administration is currently using to crowdsource federal agency guidelines for public engagement.

Key Quotes
"I get out of bed every morning trying to give people a voice in what happens in their government. Whether it's state, county, local or federal level. There are so many people in this country who are brilliant, who have good ideas, who are crying out for government to meet their needs…that aren't heard because they aren't rich. They don't have lobbyists. They don't have influence. And they don't get through. And where technology comes into that is it makes government fundamentally able to listen.
"The government stems of the people, by the people and it's supposed to work for the people. and that all adds up to accountability. It was baked into our Constitution, and it's hard to find around here sometimes today.
"For many, the PDF is the apotheosis of Internet-based document technology. It works, but it doesn't work as well as it could. Explaining the value proposition behind open data, and all the things it can do [for] you, is the first place to start. I think that the technology community has not done a good enough job telling that story. We can help you, government people, do your jobs for citizens way more efficiently and effectively, at lower cost, with open data and open source software."

Multiple teams inquiring about Freddy Garcia

Jon Heyman tweets that the Yankees, Mets, and other teams have asked to see Freddy Garcia's medical records. That means that everyone has an unhealthy obsession with Garcia's personal business or else they're actually considering signing the guy. Given how few free agent starters are left out there I'm guessing the latter. Which is kind…
One more pitcher off the board: the Marlins sign Ricky Nolasco to a contract extension
Dec 20, 2010, 9:07 AM EDT
There have been a number of rumors in recent weeks that the Marlins were open to shopping Ricky Nolasco. Call off the trade-watch, however, because they just signed him to a three-year, $26.5 million extension. My suspicion is that the trade rumors were floated mostly as a negotiation tactic anyway. I've heard that Nolasco really…

The Yankees sign Luis Vizcaino
Dec 20, 2010, 6:22 AM EDT
Gotta hand it to the Yankees: they really know how to counter a move. The Phillies get Cliff Lee? Bam! New York gets Mark Prior. The Brewers snag Zack Greinke? Bam! New Yorks signs Luis Vizcaino. OK, that's not fair. I know those moves aren't in response to anything and would have happened anyway. I do…
Balance of power tilts towards NL this winter

AL to NL Cliff Lee – Phillies Zack Greinke – Brewers Shaun Marcum – Brewers Javier Vazquez – Marlins Kerry Wood…
Doug Melvin: "This is what I call a 'now' trade"
Dec 19, 2010, 5:24 PM EDT
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel spoke with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin a short while ago, who said the following about today's acquisition of Zack Greinke from the Royals: "This is what I call a 'now' trade, getting a player of his ability," said Melvin, who indicated the trade was "90% complete" last night…

Now that the Zack Greinke trade is official, Matt Garza figures to be the most popular name brought up in trade conversations in the coming days and weeks. Garza, who just turned 27 last month, has become a legitimate frontline starter since coming over from the Twins in November of 2007, posting a 3.86 ERA…

Dec 19, 2010, 12:43 PM EDT
The dominoes are beginning to fall. Cliff Lee went off the board late Monday night, making Carl Pavano the "best" starting pitcher left standing in the free agent market, for better or worse. The Brewers had interest in signing Pavano, but were reportedly reluctant to go beyond two years. Now that they have traded for…

Dec 19, 2010, 11:31 AM EDT
Something you may have missed — and further overshadowed by the hysteria of the Zack Greinke trade this morning — the Twins officially introduced Tsuyoshi Nishioka at Target Field yesterday. The Twins signed Nishioka to a three-year, $9.25 million contract with a club option for 2014. He'll be paid $3 million in each of the…

Here's a couple quick interesting tidbits. According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Nationals were actually close to a deal for Zack Greinke. Names like Drew Storen and Danny Espinosa, among others, were discussed. The only problem? The Nationals were on Greinke's no-trade list and he told the Royals he wouldn't go.

News of the reported trade that would send Zack Greinke to Milwaukee is already sending shockwaves around the baseball world.

Figuring out the Zack Grienke-to-Milwaukee rumor
Dec 19, 2010, 3:28 AM EDT
Saturday night saw the birth of a shocking rumor: a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel blogger reports that the Brewers and Royals had agreed to a trade, set to be announced Monday, in which Milwaukee would land Zack Greinke for shortstop Alcides Escobar, outfielder Lorenzo Cain and right-hander Jeremy Jeffress. Yuniesky Betancourt and cash would also go to Milwaukee.…
Renteria's agent says quotes were "inaccurate representation"
Dec 18, 2010, 5:32 PM EDT
Edgar Renteria's agent is doing his best best to soften the blow of his client's recent quotes about San Francisco's "disrespectful" one-year, $1 million contract offer. The agent, Barry Meister, contacted the Giants' front office on Friday and called the comments an "inaccurate representation" of the veteran's shortstop's feelings. Meister said that Renteria is still…

They are, and Jen Royle of MASN was given an idea of the financial terms Saturday from a source in the know. LaRoche will earn between $16 million and $18 million over a three-year…
Jim Tracy feeling better after Winter Meetings collapse
Dec 18, 2010, 2:58 PM EDT
Last week's Winter Meetings had a couple of scares. First, it was Jayson Werth's humongous seven-year, $126 million contract with the Nationals that sent a shockwave of dollar signs through the baseball world. Then it was Rockies manager Jim Tracy collapsing in the hotel lobby. Werth is still counting his money. Tracy, too, is doing…
Marlins may look to trade right-hander Ricky Nolasco
Dec 18, 2010, 1:32 PM EDT
The Marlins aren't having the best offseason. They gave out a three-year, $18 million contract to 30-year-old catcher John Buck, a .243/.301/.421 career hitter, they got very little in return when they traded power-hitting second baseman Dan Uggla to the Braves, and now they're having trouble locking up one of their top arbitration-eligible pitchers. According…
Jeff Francis expected to pick a team within the next few days
Dec 18, 2010, 12:45 PM EDT
Jeff Francis fever is sweeping the hot stove. Or whatever. According to Jim Armstrong of the Denver Post, the left-hander is expected to decide between offers from the Rockies, Mets, Brewers, Pirates and Nationals within the next couple of days. Francis missed the entire 2009 season after undergoing major shoulder surgery just before spring training…

Comments about Go Softwear Active Workout Pants:
I bought an XL thinking it might fit, NO WAY. I am a 38 waist and figured the XL would fit. The Extra Large is a 30 inch waist. My 22 year old assistant who is 5'9" 130 barley were able to get these on. The makers have no idea how a man's body works.
- Waist:
- Feels too small
- Inseam:
- Feels true to length

Social media reality check from Canadian youth: Key study
Before releasing its report on online conflict, MediaSmarts presented a much broader picture of young Canadians' experiences in social media: "Life Online." This is important context for any discussion about cyberbullying and other negative aspects of digitally informed life, whether we're setting policy at the household, school or national levels. "There are a lot of […]
Safety through mindfulness: Watch 'The Science of Character'
I'm not sure who decided this but March 20th is "Character Day" and it's also the day that filmmaker Tiffany Shlain released a superb 8 minute video, "The Science of Character."

Major study of teen online conflict in Canada, insights for all of us
Though "cyberbullying" is in the title, the just-released study from Canada's premier digital and media literacy organization, MediaSmarts, is about far more than that. The study offers a wide range of insights from young people themselves on the full spectrum of negative behaviors that turn up in digital media, including meanness, gossip-spreading, acting out of […]
A teacher on what teaching in Minecraft looks like

She agrees with New Jersey K-8 teacher Marianne Malmstrom […]
'The gold' of connected learning, innovation worldwide: The learners
You know that maxim that "necessity is the mother invention" (it goes back at least to 16th-century England, according to Phrases.co.uk). Well, South African journalist Tony Shapshak recently showed in a TED Talk in Edinburgh how necessity is the mother of (tech) innovation, and that innovation is certainly not just happening in Silicon Valley, Bangalore, or the Zhongguancun […]

Factors in good policymaking about youth & digital media
Informed citizens sometimes forget that the reason why negative, tragic or just plain-old bad news is news is because it's the exception to the rule. That's why it's newsworthy. And this is true whether we're hearing about airplane crashes or online bullying. Sometimes the news is unspeakably tragic, but it's still the exception, not the […]

Panasonic Headset -- It's a Must
Comments about Panasonic Kx-TCA430 Foldable Headset:
This Panasonic Kx-TCA430 Foldable Headset is used is our office and the reviews are great. They leave you handsfree to take more notes and even be able to pick up a file to read while talking to a client. The result of the other person you are talking to is very crisp and clear. It even blocks out background noise and is very light weight on your head. Once you try it, you won't want to use your handset again. No more strained neck pain or sloppy notes. This hands-free headset is a must try either in the office or your home.

1 Thing
by Thrill
posted Feb 20 2013 5:13PM
Whether you're a parent now or you're an adult looking back on your childhood, you probably recognize that while parents have an incomparable love for their kids, it doesn't stop parents from lying to their kids whenever it's convenient... and it's convenient a lot. Admittedly, most of these lies are harmless little things like how we'll inevitably 'pull this car over and turn around' if you don't shut up, or how 'you'll be left behind if you don't come with us right now'. Then there's the lies that gave you a false sense of ability that you, in no way, deserve, like 'that's a beautiful drawing' (if you're blind AND drunk AND have no hands) or 'you can be anything you want to be' (assuming you have no aspirations beyond being a greeter at Wal- Mart). Oh, and Fluffy never went to the farm, Fluffy died. And then there are those lies that come back to make your head spin: "your grandfather died in the war" (he spent his adult life in prison for killing a hooker) or "me and your uncle are very close" (he's your real father). Some lies are bigger than others, but all parents lie, and today we wanted to know: WHAT LIE WERE YOU TOLD AS A KID OR WHAT LIE DO YOU TELL YOUR KIDS?
His cat never went to a farm to help with the extreme mouse problem, the cat died. On the bright side, that lie was minimized when he found out that his 'cousin' was really his sister
As a child, he was told that the sharks swimming around the house would 'get him' if he didn't behave at bedtime. "Jaws' helped many parents with discipline
Never told him his great uncle was a famous soldier in WWII soldier... a famous NAZI soldier
was tols that rocks grew in the rain... believed it until 8th grade
Wasn't until later in life that they realized that it was NOT tobacco in her uncle's pipe
His girlfriend's 6- year- old son asked why they had handcuffs in the bedroom... "er, um... I used to be a police officer. Yea... that's it."
Ate 'ranch chicken'... a furry, 4- legged chicken. It was actually rabbit, and the only reason they didn't tell them is because they had a per rabbit at the time
"Work hard, get good grades and you can do anything"... not so true
Was told that those little white lines you occasionally get on your fingernails are the result of lying
If you eat carrots you'll get night vision
"We treat all of you kids the same"... anyone with siblings knows that's a crock
Was told masturbation is unhealthy
"this is going to hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you"... I was never told that because it it not true, and my father was very clear about that.
Was told that if you play with your bellybutton too much, all of your guts will spill out and you'll die.
As a parent, I have to admit that some of the lies I tell the youngins are just to make my life easier, but really, it's too easy and fun not to! The real question is; when do parents STOP lying to kids? I mean, we all kind of get it when they're young; either you wanna spare their feelings or spare our patience, but are our parents still running the occasional con on us? Hard to say.
OK, I'm outta here.
Until tomorrow, if you're happy and you know it drink a beer and STAY BEAUTIFUL!"

Definetely 5 star.Staff and services are all outstanding. Rooms spacious and location is central. Extremely expensive and restaurant is fabulous but very pricey.
Great Location
Concierge service was fantastic. Location can't be beat. Extremely expensive especially in restaurant on site. Service from the staff outstanding. Just too pricey.

Does anyone know how to deal with a strange bug I'm experiencing after the 4.4 update?
Basically, if my device (Galaxy Note GT-N8010) is on and I try to charge it via the PC, nothing happens and I cannot charge it, but when I switch off the device I can easily charge it.
I also tried full reset and reflash, but the problem is still there.
Transfers, sync, Kies work fine, so I think I can exclude a PC related issue.
Any help is appreciated.

Think about this for a moment. They all spent money on fedoras. They are all reinforcing each other into thinking this was a good idea.
