We don't have cable, and I don't do a whole lot of internet searching that is not food related, so a lot of news passes me by. It may lead me to be a bit out of touch, naive concerning political matters, and over reliant on my twitter feed to update me on breaking headlines, but it has worked for us. I want to believe that we are capable of being good to each other, and too much news convinces me otherwise. From world wide issues over politics, money and religion, to the tragic shooting in Colorado, or something right under your nose like a stranger stealing your stuff, I am completely dismayed that people want to harm other people... people they don't even know. Hugh and I chatted in circles, not understanding this motivation. It can be overwhelming, fear-inducing really, to think of the sadness and hurt, all the "bad things that happen to good people," and how I feel the only way to encourage other's to be good to people, is to be good to them yourself. Ironic how that conversation led me in to the topic of today's post about treatment and wages on our tomato fields in America. Tomato fields in Florida have been quoted as being "ground zero" for modern day slavery. It all starts somewhere doesn't it? Today we are making noise for change and standing up for slave free tomatoes.
Spreading the word is the first step to educating people about this problem. If you feel called to action, you can send a letter using this link to contribute to the voice that is trying to make a change. Support the cause by purchasing tomatoes from the slave-free locations mentioned above.
A SIMPLE TOMATO + BURRATA SALAD // Serves 4-6
Inspired by Big Sur Bakery Cookbook
Take note of the size of your burrata balls, you may need two. I assume about 4 oz. per person. This salad is very free form, don't pay too close attention to measurements. It's a summertime salad, it's meant to be easy going.
1 cup torn bread (preferably from a baguette or fresh loaf)
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 sea salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs/ 4-ish heirloom tomatoes
sea salt + fresh ground pepper
2 cups soft lettuce of choice (arugula, spring greens, butter lettuce)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 shallot, finely chopped
8 oz. burrata cheese, room temperature
good quality extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven (ideally toaster oven) to 400'. Spread the torn bread on a baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are crisp and brown. Set aside.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4'' slices and arrange them on your serving tray in concentric circles. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt and fresh ground pepper and the chopped shallots. Chop the soft greens and basil together, toss them gently with 1 tsp. each olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then mound it in the center of the tomatoes. Distribute the croutons on top and then place the burrata in the center of the lettuce pile, breaking open the creamy center if you'd like.
Drizzle the burrata with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste and finish with a sprinkle of salt and fresh ground pepper.

John Franklin (actor)
|John Franklin
|John Paul Salapatek
June 16, 1959
Blue Island, Chicago, Illinois
John Franklin (born John Paul Salapatek; June 16, 1959) is an American actor best known for playing Isaac Chroner in Children of the Corn.
Early life and education[edit]
He was born John Paul Salapatek in Blue Island, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago, on June 16, 1959. In 1977, John graduated from Dwight D. Eisenhower High School. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1983 with a BFA in theater and teaching.
In 1983, John Franklin moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in acting. He appeared in commercials before successfully auditioning for the role of Isaac in Stephen King's Children of the Corn.
After Children of the Corn, Franklin went on to appear in the kids' variety show Kids Incorporated, guest starring in two episodes, "The Leprechaun" and "Space Case." He appeared in many commercials again before guest starring as Arnie in Highway to Heaven, playing a mentally handicapped teenage runaway.
In 1991, Franklin landed the role of Cousin Itt in The Addams Family and reprised the role in 1993's Addams Family Values. Throughout the 1990s, Franklin appeared as a guest on several TV shows, including Chicago Hope and Star Trek Voyager, then guest starred with David Morse in George B. and with Steve Guttenberg in Tower of Terror.
In 1999, Franklin reprised his debut role, Isaac, in Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return, co-writing the script with his cousin Tim Sulka. In 2000, he landed a small role in Python and co starred as Morluv in The Christmas Secret.
Franklin works as an English teacher at Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita, California.[1][2] He explained,
"After the events of 9/11, I saw the shallowness of showbiz and felt a great desire to leave a greater legacy than just being Cousin Itt. Teaching seemed to be a perfect fit for my theatrical talents and to touch many lives."[1]
As a child, Franklin suffered from a growth hormone deficiency; as a result, his adult height is "barely 5 feet".[3] Being that he is over 4'10" tall, there is some disagreement as to whether he'd be described as a person with Dwarfism.

What is Click Fraud?
Business owners who advertise with pay per click advertising (PPC) must stay constantly vigilant of click fraud, an internet scheme which can quickly deplete your advertising budget. Also known as click spam, click fraud involves a false inflation of the number of clicks on an ad. Fraudulent clicks are any clicks on a pay per click ad that happened where the intention is not interest in the ad's content, but to cause a charge to the advertiser. Often these false clicks are automated, but sometimes the clicks come from individuals (occasionally paid). Click fraud is criminal; however, this hasn't stopped the proliferation of increasingly sophisticated click fraud schemes, and it can be a hard crime to prove and prosecute.
Click fraud occurs for many different reasons. Sometimes, the defrauder is acting innocently enough – they have heard that a friend or family member is paid by their advertisers for each click on ads on their website or blog, so they visit advertised links to help out that friend or relative without any intent to patronize. Other times, motivations are far more malicious. Competitors of advertisers might try to drain their rivals' advertising budgets by constantly clicking their ads. Competitors of the websites publishing the pay per click ads may attempt to frame the webmaster (publisher) for the click fraud, causing the advertiser to pull their ads and the related revenue from the site because they think they are being defrauded by the webmaster. The most frequent perpetrators of click fraud, though, are publishers themselves, many of whom run successful pay per click scams.
Part of the problem is the format of pay per click advertising. Initially, pay per click advertising simply involved a webmaster publishing advertisement links on their websites in exchange for compensation for every click generated. Then the industry grew to support other networks of advertisers who became middlemen in the equation; they are often referred to as advertising programs, and include (but are definitely not limited to) Google and Yahoo! Search Marketing. These networks would receive the money per click from the advertiser, take a cut, and then pay the publisher (website owner). Click fraud scammers are able to easily advantage of this system. They simply sign up with these programs as advertisers, claiming that they will publish advertisements on their websites and increase the ad exposure. Obviously, no real ad exposure is planned; scammers throw the links up on traffic-less websites created specifically for the scam and then have hit bots or (very lowly) paid employees click away, billing the affiliate program for every fraudulent click.
Many of these advertising networks do what they can to prevent click fraud, but it is extremely difficult to determine which clicks are legitimate and which are not. Also, unless the fraud is perpetrated by a "scammy" publisher, the affiliate networks have little recourse when click fraud is discovered, and they usually have to bite the bullet and issue refunds to advertisers for the fraudulent clicks. Unfortunately, there are no foolproof techniques to stop click fraud.
Google and Yahoo Sponsored Search have addressed most of the concerns but click fraud still takes place on a daily basis. The only way to stop or avoid click fraud is to constantly monitor the traffic, spikes or suspicious activity.
If any SEO company promises you a certain amount of traffic from your PPC ads, be alert to the dangers of click fraud. Not only will you get no real business, but your PPC budget will be quickly drained.

Trailer released for the Korean movie "Mother Is a Whore"
"Mother Is a Whore" (2009)
Directed by Lee Sang-woo-IV
With Lee Sang-woo-IV, Lee Yong-nyeo, Kwon Beom-taek, Yoo Ae-kyeong,...
Staggering, with a disabled boy on his back, 38 years old single AIDS infected Sang-woo heads for a shack on the outskirts of Seoul that has the cheapest whores. Pushing in customers, he calls his mom. The person he loves the most, who is going to be attending to the customers, is his mother, a whore.
The mother had to become a whore at the age of sixty and the son had to be the pimp selling her around. As difficult as it might be to understand their relationship, that was what his father had left behind. It seems as though Sang-woo's father is living a normal life with a younger woman. However he is living with a religious fanatic wife Hikikomori, son Hee-cheol, adrift daughter Hee-soo and still hurting them too, like before.
Filled with sympathy for a mother who has to sell herself, obsession about his AIDS and rage for his father…Sang-woo makes a decision.

Spend another summer with the girls of the Sisterhood.
©2001 Ann Brashares; (P)2001 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint Of Random House Audio Publishing Group
Book Sense Book of the Year Award Winner, Children's Literature, 2002
"A clever...premise sets the course for four intertwined, compelling coming-of-age stories." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Angela Goethals'] narration is joyful and alive with nuance. As the listener, you will care deeply for the personal growth and developing humanity of these engaging young women." (AudioFile)
"Young teens will identify with one, or even all four, of these interesting, funny young women." (Booklist)
"A good read for older children"
We listened to this book on a car trip. While it was a good book with an interesting premise, I think it was a bit too mature for my youngest (age 8). It was appropriate for my daughter, age 12, who enjoyed the book, as did I.
The book had lots of things going on that were fun, amusing and thought-provoking. But it also addressed juvenile death and, somewhat thinly veiled, the loss of virginity.
"A great teen read..."
I wanted to know what was in this book, as my near 13 year old expressed interest in the title. I was taken in by the story immediately, and thoroughly enjoyed it through the end. Branshares' characters were well developed, and I was able to clearly visualize each girl as she went through her 15th summer, the first one away from the fold of four best friends.
Branshares has aptly captured the hearts and minds of four very individual girls-becoming-women on the pages of this treasure.
"Fabulous book"
This is one of those audiobooks that keeps you in the car long after you've reached your destination. Or you go out to the car at lunch just get a few minutes further in the story. I've loaned this cd to 3 other co-workers (all female) who all loved the book, too.
The narrator does a great job - I'm impressed that one person can make each character sound like a different yet identifiable person.
"I am 27 and Loved this book"
I LOVED this book. I enjoyed this book so much I listened to the 2nd and 3rd book right away.
Ann Brashares really captures the characters well. Highly recommend reading this book. You can't put it down.
"Adults can love it too!"
I'm amused to see that so many reviewers suggest the book for teenagers, and, indeed, they will enjoy it. But I'm a mature 57 year old, who was once a teenager, and I loved it. I'm grateful for the audio format or I wouldn't have accomplished as much in the last couple days, with my Ipod and my headphones as constant companions. I look forward to listening to the next two in the series.
"Good for Teenagers"
This was a great listen, but make sure it is older teenagers. The story lines are realistic for teens, but maybe uncomfortable for preteens. The girls experience many things including relationships with boys. Recommended for mature 13 year olds and older. We can't wait to listen to the Second Summer of the Traveling Pants.
"Draws you in"
From the first chapter, I was drawn into the lives of Tibby, Lena, B, and Carmen. I think this story captures the lives of girls this age so wonderfully, and doesn't make unbelieveable things happen. It is a perfectly normal story in so many ways... but it has those magical pants that add the spice to the girls' lives. I recommend this book to anyone who holds in fond memory those teenage days!
Audible listener who's grateful for a long commute!
"Unexpectedly Nostalgic"
First of all, a disclaimer: I am more than 3 times the age of the target audience for Ann Brashares' "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (2001). I haven't seen either of the two movies based on the book either. Looking back on when the first movie was released, I know I spent what little movie time I had that year taking my kids to see JK Rowlings' "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and the remake of Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is a loving portrait of teenage American girls, forever friends, right as everything changes for them. It's their first summer apart. There's Bridget, the reckless athlete who goes to soccer camp in Mexico; Carmen, whose divorced father suddenly acquires a brand new family: Lena, who visits her grandparents in Greece; and Tibby at home, working her first job at 'Walmans', donning a double layered polyester smock and an nose-ring-wearing attitude. I was a little disappointed in the stereotyped four best friends: did Carmen really have to be a 'hot blooded' Latina? And is every athlete driven to win at any cost?
Brashares inadvertently sketched an entirely different time, the last summer before the United States lost its ersatz innocence. Teenagers could travel at will, without ID, without parents' permission, and without the careful planning national security requires now. Cell phones existed, but that's all they were: actual phones. Local calls were expensive, and making a long distance call? Landline was really the only option, and there was no guarantee that the person on the other end would even have a phone.
Before 2001, it was possible to actually be an alone, unwatched kid with some real autonomy. The 20th Century wasn't a more innocent time by any means - but it was a more private time for teens and adults alike. "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" has some sex, although its implied and not explicit. It is described in pretty clichéd terms, though, and I found myself cringing at the mental imagery words like 'hungry' created for me. All of the sudden, I was thinking of pot roast.
The book was a good listen, and the vocabulary wasn't overly pretentious. It is worth 9 Accelerated Reader (AR) points. Here's a helpful parenting 'hack' (rapidly becoming its own trite term): if you've got a kid with reading issues, have them listen to the Audible and follow along with the written text.
I do think I will enjoy the movie, so I'll watch out for it. America Ferrera plays Carmen, and she's always good. The Audible narration was okay, but I did occasionally have trouble realizing when a new character was talking.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Wonderful Adventure in Friendship"
This has the makings of a YA classic. All the books and movies are now out, and the rage has moved on to "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games." But I think this series will remain a favorite because of its emphasis on friendship and the great satisfaction that enduring relationships bring to real life.
"The Sisterhood" offers lively, interesting, and varied characters dealing with the real matters of teenaged existence. Angela Goethals reads with conviction, humor, and a light, youthful tone. I can't imagine any listener failing to get deeply involved with this story.
So, if you haven't discovered the joys of "The Sisterhood" in its Audio version, try this, either alone or with the family in the car. It's a great trip!
"Became attached to all these girls"
I got wrapped up into the stories of all these characters and felt like I was part of the sisterhood. Brashares weaves a great story and brings the emotions of the characters out so that you can get to know them. Goethais keeps true to the characters and their stories throughout the performance.

The Miseducation of Matthew Stafford
The quarterback and his coach, Jim Schwartz, have been the two primary targets of blame for Detroit's struggles. Schwartz's future with the Lions may be nonexistent, but it's not too late for Stafford—but only if he learns some key lessons
Maybe it's too late for this season. Maybe Matthew Stafford and the Lions did too much self-inflected damage with their 18-16 home loss to the Ravens last Monday night.
Once in the driver's seat for the NFC North title at 6-3, the Lions now need the near impossible after losing four of their past five. They have to win out, and have both Green Bay and Chicago lose once down the stretch. Considering the Bears and Packers meet in the season finale, the Lions need the winner of that game to lose this weekend. Got it?
So, yes, it may be too late for the Lions. Just like always for the team that's never made a Super Bowl, and only appeared in one conference championship game in the Super Bowl era (a 41-10 loss to Washington in the 1991 season).
And it may be too late for coach Jim Schwartz, who probably needs a playoff berth to be back next season.
But even though it seems like everyone wants to write Schwartz's career obituary—too much careless gunslinger, not enough smart play when the team needs it—it's not too late for Matthew Stafford.
There's no question he hasn't been good of late. In the six games since the Lions' bye week, Stafford has completed just 51 percent of his passes, lost two fumbles and thrown 11 interceptions against 12 touchdowns. There's no denying that Stafford has much to learn, about his footwork, arm angle and the concept of risk and reward. But he has more time.
Not a whole lot more, but some. Just look at the recent Super Bowl winners at quarterback. Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers were 27 when they broke through. Drew Brees was 30. Eli and Peyton Manning were 26 and 30, respectively. Yes, Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady won for the first time at 23 and 24, but they had defenses that the team was built around.
We have seen the potential of Stafford. In 2011, he completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 5,036 yards and threw 41 touchdowns with 16 interceptions. In clinching the team's first playoff berth since 1999, Stafford was exquisite against the Chargers: 29 of 36 for 373 yards and three touchdowns.
Is greatness in Stafford? Impossible to say at this point. But now comes the proving time. "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up," Vince Lombardi famously once said.
Stafford has certainly fallen down this season. But the great thing about football is there's always another game on Sunday to change the narrative, until there isn't. The Lions have two games to play against the porous Giants and Vikings. Rolling over those two teams won't prove anything, and in fact it would probably only inflame the chorus that Stafford can get it done except when the games really matter.
Next season will be vitally important to Stafford. There's a reasonable chance the Lions will have a new coach—Schwartz is the only coach Stafford has known. Maybe somebody else can make Stafford believe that just because he put up great numbers in '11, it doesn't mean he has all the answers. Stafford still has time to heed those lessons, but it's going to run out eventually.
Stafford has a lot of growing up to do both on and off the field. His recent comments angered fans and made headlines.
Jon Gruden will be the next HC of the Lions...
staffords still young and he can totally become an elite qb. i love how he plays with passion (see the fake spike dive into the endzone this year) but hes still got to learn to focus all that gusto into some more consistent play. i would expect him to play at a very high level with some better coaching. the whole team playes pretty undisciplined and that speaks to a coaching problem.
sure, he still plays like a purely talented kid flinging it around in his backyard but it seems pretty clear that hes got the will and skill to become an outstanding qb in the nfl.
Good new for Stafford? Mike Shanahan may be available next season. You listening Detroit??
And yes, that is a joke.
Stafford has tons of talent but he doesn't appear to be a student of the game. I know he won't study, prepare and practice like Peyton does, but Stafford NEEDS to realize that his footwork must improve as well as his overall knowledge and preparation of the QB position.
His talent has done everything for him so far (which is admittedly a lot), but it is NOT enough to bump him into the games best QB's, which he is not. He is good, not great.
I guess we'll see if he really wants to be great as it will take effort, work and preparation for him to become a great QB.
Maybe he expects to be great while only doing what he has done so far.
Time will tell.
Stafford's comments and actions show he has a long way to go--http://psychologyofsports.com/2013/12/21/matthew-stafford-is-stress-free-a-slap-in-the-face-to-all/
Thanks for saying there is still time for Stafford to improve, seeing he is all of 25. The same age as Wilson & Kaepernick. A staff change could be useful, but he's better at this age than Favre was, and he can fix his errors.
Certainly, not all of Detroit's performance issues as of late can be put at the feet of Stafford.The way I see it, Stafford's blessing may also be his curse.While blessed with a "gun" for an arm, he also exhibits some tendencies reminiscent of "gunslingers" like Fouts, Marino, and Favre.(Despite their greatness, only Favre won a ring, and that was against the '96 Parcells-led Patriots, arguably one of the weaker contenders in Super Bowl history.)Perhaps Stafford should instead take a page out of the playbook of one Tom Brady, who to this day continues to work with coaches to improve on his mechanics (i.e., throwing motion, footwork, etc.) and game management skills.
Maybe Stafford falling apart will start to end the myth of Linehan being a good offensive coordinator. He's not. Culpepper also regressed and never recovered, though Linehan wisely left in the same offseason Moss did so no one would blame him. Moss, Holt, and now Calvin Johnson have meant that his offensives have always been good at gaining a lot of yards, but he's consistently struggled starting around the opponents 35 yard line since those WRs aren't able to back safeties up as much. Don't believe me? Go back and look at his yards per point - http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/yards-per-point He's relied on big WRs to make him look good.
@Zvikescouldnt agree more. with linehan as his o-coordinator and schwartz in the leadership role, staffords gotto be given another look with a more solid coaching group. hopefully the lions can find someone good in the offseason.
as a redskin fan jay grudens near the top of my list, but hed be a great pickup for the lions as well.

In the little time that I spent in there, I felt that Turkey had something to offer to tourists and travellers of all kinds. The country is full of wonderful natural sights and urban chaos, a mix of the religious and the liberals, delicious food and thousands of years of history. There are plenty of tour operators as well as infinite options for do-it-yourself types. Let me show you why Turkey is, indeed, for everyone.
Afghanistan has been on my list for a while and I was initially planning a six month trip from Kabul to Istanbul. Unfortunately that's a long time commitment so I am thinking of doing something shorter. Parts of Afghanistan are now free from the Taliban and safe (well…) to travel and I am looking into traveling to some places in the region.
Indian travellers often complain that they face lots of restrictions on their travels due to the limitations of the Indian passport.

One of the distinctive features of the buildings in Le Plateau are their external spiraling staircases. A simple feature, but it transforms the character of the streets completely, doesn't it. When I walk on the sidewalks, it seems as if the large buildings are descending to the ground to greet me!

What gets me is this snobbery around classical music. People these days generally except film music as decent orchestral compositions, so why not music written for computer games? I know there are a lot of Classical music fans who, even to this day, think that Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue should not be played on a Classical music station.

Nobody has yet applied for a permit to build rental housing in Valley City, despite a current shortage of rental properties resulting from flooding protection buyouts.
David Schelkoph, city administrator for Valley City said he has informally heard developers talking about ideas for new apartment buildings, but permits haven't been applied for.
Schelkoph said Valley City "is close to 100 percent occupancy in town with rental properties."
Flu season in Barnes County, as well as the remainder of North Dakota has begun.
As of Jan. 10, 1,077 cases of influenza have been reported statewide, with four cases reported in Barnes County. And that doesn't reflect those who may have the flu but haven't seen doctors.
Lori Thompson, Registered Nurse, of City-County Health District in Valley City believes the number will increase significantly as the disease spreads. Thompson also noted that test results of patients that are already infected may not be in.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) has issued a statewide Travel Alert through Saturday morning in advance of the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasted winter storm to impact the state.
Work on a second Sheyenne Riverbank Stabilization project along Main Street will begin Monday, Jan. 14.
According to Erik Gilbertson of city engineering firm Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson, the contractor will be installing steel sheeting to repair erosion that has taken place along the Sheyenne River. Main Street in Valley City will be closed for about one month. Traffic will be detoured to Second Street Northwest from Fifth Avenue Northwest to Central Avenue.
Access to businesses will be maintained during construction work.
The Barnes County Commission voted to terminate its contract with Valley City for 9-1-1 services during its regular meeting on Tuesday. Also, the commission, which did not formally approve a pay and benefits package for 9-1-1 dispatchers who may become county employees, did instruct emergency manager Kim Franklin to make employment offers to dispatchers using wage and benefit proposals she made to the commission.
Also, county commissioners discussed agricultural property tax increases with zoning coordinator Betty Koslofsky.
The Valley Troubadors are looking to increase membership as they begin practice for their spring concerts, director Lance Dreveky said.
Kirk Dockter, who joined the Troubadors two years ago, said on a good night, the singing group can usually get 18 people together, but "we would like to see numbers grow."
"We'd really just like to appeal to people in the community who like to sing," Dockter said. "Because it's a lot of fun; it's a blast."
Barnes County Commissioners voted to send notice to Valley City regarding termination of the existing 9-1-1 contract during their regular meeting on Jan. 8.
According to State's Attorney, Lee Grossman, the old contract, which dates from the 1990s, needed to be updated regardless of whether the 9-1-1 system is taken over by Barnes County.
The current contract, as it is written, will end on July 16.
Commissioners also considered pay and benefits for city employed 9-1-1 dispatchers who may become county employees if Barnes County takes over day-to-day operations of the 9-1-1 system.
The North Dakota Agriculture Hall of Fame Committee has selected Bill Gross of Cleveland, N.D., and Dick and Theresa Tokach of Mandan, N.D., as 2013 inductees into the North Dakota Agriculture Hall of Fame.
The Valley City City Commission decided Monday during its finance meeting to consider reconstituting building permit fees in Valley City.
"In 2004, the city voted to eliminate all fees on building permits in the city," Valley City City Administrator David Schelkoph said.
That vote remained in effect for six years, which has expired, so now the commission is able to consider reconstituting building permit fees.
WEST FARGO — There are a nights a team just finds its rhythm early and in Tuesday's 80-49 loss to West Fargo, the Valley City High School basketball team was on the wrong end of the scenario.
On their home court, the Packers scored 15 points in the first four minutes, and never let up, shooting 62 percent from the 3-point line and finishing 10-12 from long distance in the first half.

Check out the latest internship postings from Charity Navigator.
I've written profiles of nearly 500 non-profit organizations with internships. I've seen all kinds of organizations, but I always find it hard to evaluate how effective they are. Data isn't nearly as prevalent in the non-profit world as it is in business (though that's changing), so it's hard to get a sense of which organizations are doing the most with their dollars. Luckily, there's an independent third party that evaluates non-profits called Charity Navigator. They're based in Glen Rock, NJ, and you're probably familiar with them if you've ever spent much time on non-profits' websites. Charity Navigator seems to have become the gold standard for determining which charities are most suitable to donate to.
Find Your Way
If you want to understand Charity Navigator, you really need to dig into their methodology. They rate organizations on a scale of four stars across two categories–Financial and Accountability & Transparency. Because publicly funded charities are legally required to release their financial information, Charity Navigator is able to dive deep into the numbers to compute a rating. The obvious question (though it's a bit meta) is what is Charity Navigator's Charity Navigator rating? They don't have one, and you can find an explanation of why here. Take some time to browse Charity Navigator and use it to look up some of your favorite non-profits to see how they stack up. If holding charities accountable sounds like something that you want to be part of, then you should look at both Charity Navigator's Careers page and their postings on Idealist. I don't see any internships right now, but they have had interns in the past, so it's worth reaching out.

The Vampire Diaries
A List of People Klaus Has Killed on The Vampire Diaries
Aw, who's a cute little villain? Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has a bit of a temper on The Vampire Diaries, which often leads to him snapping — and snapping necks. Before we even met the hybrid, Katherine (Nina Dobrev) was detailing the way the tempestuous supernatural had hunted down and killed her entire family. Not exactly the kind of guy you want to bring home to mother, because he's likely to eat her right in front of you.
But as bad as he was, Klaus started softening up after his killing spree with his BFF, Ripper Stefan (Paul Wesley). Falling in love will do that to a guy. It seemed Klaus was running out of evil steam as Season 3 drew to a close — but then he went after Elena (Nina Dobrev). Draining her of blood, stealing Tyler's (Michael Trevino) body, and leaving Rebekah (Claire Holt) to be taken hostage by Pastor Young proved Klaus was still bad to his hybrid bones in Season 4. Here are a list of the OV's victims.
Petrova Family
As payback for Katherine (Nina Dobrev) turning into a vampire and spoiling his plans for breaking the hybrid curse, Klaus slaughtered her whole family, minus her baby, who had already been sent away.
Season 2, Episode 9
Isobel Flemming (compelled)
It's hard to know where Isobel's compulsion began and ended, but she bit John Gilbert and killed herself by removing her daywalker necklace. This could've all been Klaus's work.
Season 2, Episode 17
Bonnie Bennett (temporarily)
Part of the spell to best Klaus involved Bonnie (Kat Graham) sacrificing herself, at least for a little while, during a battle of wills with the OV.
Season 2, Episode 18
Jenna Sommers, twice
Poor Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning). First Klaus turns her, then he kills her. Double damage dealt by the hottie hybrid.
Season 2, Episode 20 and Season 2, Episode 21
That sun and moon curse required a lot of sacrifice. Jules served as the werewolf death necessary to complete the spell.
Season 2, Episode 21
Elena Gilbert (resurrected)
Klaus ripped the doppelganger's heart out to break the sun and moon curse; her father John Gilbert gave his life to save her.
Season 2, Episode 21
Ray Sutton, 12 werewolves (including Paige), Derek (the human)
You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Likewise with hybrids and necks. It took Klaus a while to figure out to make his minions, which involved accidentally killing a lot of werewolves.
Season 3, Episode 2
Rebekah (three times, temporarily)
It's not easy being Rebekah (Claire Holt). Klaus has tired of his sister several times. The solution? Dagger her until he needs her again.
Season 3, Episode 3; Season 3, Episode 10; and Season 4, Episode 4
Tyler Lockwood (temporarily)
In order to test his hybrid theory (that Elena's blood was the key to making them), Klaus snapped Tyler's (Michael Trevino) neck. Luckily, Klaus had finally figured out to make followers.
Season 3, Episode 5
Esther (temporarily)
Nothing says "I'm evil" like matricide. We learn that Klaus killed his mother, Esther, back in the 11th century. She'd placed the sun and moon curse on him, putting a damper on his werewolf side, and Klaus murdered her for it. After her son was through with her, Esther was, literally, heartless.
Season 3, Episode 8
As if one parent weren't enough, Klaus took his non-biological father out with a white oak stake.
Season 3, Episode 9
We're not absolutely certain it was Klaus who daggered his little bro over a hundred years ago, but he certainly kept Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) in a pine box for a reason.
Season 3, Episode 13
Alaric Saltzman (temporarily)
Klaus was eager to know where Evil Alaric (Matt Davis) had hidden the final white oak stake, so he broke the history teacher's neck in attempt to channel the hunter's serial killer side. Alaric survived. That's what magical rings are for.
Season 3, Episode 19
So cold. Sure, Elijah originally wanted to kill Klaus, but he saved his brother at the last minute. The hybrid repaid this favor by daggering Elijah and stuffing him a coffin.
The Brotherhood of the Five
A bunch of supernaturally adept hunters were after the Originals in the 1100s, so Klaus (messily) killed them all.
Season 4, Episode 4
Mayor Carol Lockwood
Amidst the faux snow and Christmas carols, Klaus drowned Mayor Lockwood as payback for her son, Tyler, un-siring his hybrids.
Season 4, Episode 9
Hybrids, temporarily and permanently
Since you technically can't make a hybrid without killing a hybrid, Klaus has obviously murdered his whole army in the process of turning them. When they became un-sired, Klaus tore their hearts out.
Season 4, Episode 9
There are a few times Klaus's involvement gets a little tricky. Klaus told the Ripper to kill a lot of people (that random woman in Season 2, Episode 22, many more of Stefan's victims) and compelled him to kill others (RIP, Dana and Chad in Season 3, Episode 5). The latter two we can probably add to Klaus's kill count, but some of the others are little more difficult to parse out.

BACTERIA that feast on rubbish are providing local authorities with an environmentally benign way to dispose of household waste. Engineers meeting in Birmingham last week reported the first large-scale trials of a new design of anaerobic digester for treating dustbin waste. The waste is broken down by bacteria in the digester to form methane, carbon dioxide and a solid residue.
Britain produces 30 million tonnes of domestic rubbish each year and 90 per cent of it is dumped in landfill sites. But landfill space is tight and the government announced plans in November to impose a landfill tax next year.
The bacteria in the digesters break down the organic portion of household waste, which makes up between 35 and 50 per cent by weight. The bacteria are anaerobic (they feed on waste without using air) and this encourages them to generate methane. The gas can be burnt to provide electricity ...

Being an Executive Edition member allows me to not miss a beat when it comes to the Industry business news. Definitely keeps me in the loop plus goes great with my morning joe.- By Tony Perez, Surfer and Surfing magazines
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
MOSS ADAMS: Networking reception at MAGIC.
KNOWSHOW: Boat party on July 29 to celebrate the trade show's 10th anniversary.
Details on Industry Insight.
I stopped by the Hurley Pro this weekend at Lower Trestles in San Clemente, Calif. to chat with Hurley's Evan Slater about all the effort the brand put behind the contest.
Besides producing live video feeds, video heats on demand and social media web updates, Evan said Hurley put a lot of effort into creating an event that catered to the athletes.
At the event, all the athletes had valet parking. Their spaces were numbered in order of their tour ranking. There were "mules," or large golf carts to take athletes from the parking lot to the beach.
There was an athlete lounge with designated spaces for each athlete and a place for each of them to store their boards overnight. Hurley provided the athletes hot showers (not easy to do given the location), catered food, Pacifico on tap and each athlete's jersey was printed with their names on back, a first for an ASP contest.
Not only was the event catered to athletes, but for the athletes' friends and families and other VIPs, there was a large section with flat screen TVs showing the heat breakdowns and an array of coffee, hot food, fruits and drinks flowing all day long.
"We have the greatest athletes and we want to treat them at the highest level," said Evan. "When you do that, they seem to perform at the highest level as well and that's how they have been performing all week."
Besides the Hurley Pro, Hurley also sponsored the US Open this past August, but the events are quite different.
The US Open is a Men's Prime event whereas the Hurley Pro is a World Tour stop, the only ASP World Tour stop on the mainland USA.
The US Open draws a lot bigger crowd than the Hurley Pro, which draws a maximum of about 15,000 to 20,000 people for the weekend.
Trestles is a tough location to get to for a spectator. It's located at the bottom of a dirt trail at a state beach. There is not a lot of parking. Spectators either have to park in San Onofre and take a shuttle to the event or park on the street and walk down a long trail to get to the beach.
There are no convenience stores, restaurants, or surf retailers, like there are by the Huntington pier where the US Open is held.
While both boost record-breaking prize purses, Evan said, "The US Open is more of an action sports festival, and the Hurley Pro is less about mass consumer and more about showcasing and elevating athletes at the highest level."
Because the US Open is so much more consumer-friendly and accessible, there are more brands, more booths and more live events like music shows and fashion shows.
The Hurley Pro is more of a core event that relies on web coverage to reach consumers.
Evan said the Hurley Pro live web videos and heats on demand draw about 400,000 to 500,000 unique visits during the entire contest.
The US Open was also webcast and received a similar amount of hits, but Hurley boosted their multimedia efforts even more at the Hurley Pro.
The prize purse for the Hurley Pro ($460,000) is also bigger than the US Open ($340,000).

Mid-Bag Suspension System reduces the risk of dings or dents.
Gard Bags have long been a favorite among musicians at all levels needing quality protection at a reasonable price. The Mid-Bag Suspension series builds upon this popularity. In ordinary bags, the music instrument rests on the bottom of the bag. If dropped, the protruding parts are likely to dent. Using strategically placed blocks of padding the Mid-Bag Suspension series "suspends" your instrument away from the sides. Further stabilizing the instrument is a dense foam cone mounted to a hard disc on the inside of the bag. This suspension system reduces the risk of dings or dents if the bag knocks into a wall or is dropped from a short distance.

Best Uses
Comments about Gard Mid-Suspension Sousaphone Gig Bag:
Good, pretty, cheap. A bargain! Lightweight affordable protection as an alternative to the (more expensive) Protec bag or a cumbersome hardshell case.
Lots of nice extras: a handy pouch, leather luggage tag, two strap handles, removable shoulder strap, backpack straps. Note: you'll look like a mutant teenage ninja turtle with this bag strapped to your back!
Also included for added protection are custom "mid-bag-suspension" foam inserts to protect your souzy in transit. You place the inserts at strategic points most likely to receive damage during a fall. It took me a little while to figure it out how best to place the foam (a diagram would be helpful) but now my Conn 14k is safe as a joey kangaroo in its momma's pouch.
Initially I had difficulty closing up the zipper until I found the "sweet spot" for the foam inserts and until the fabric worked in around the sousaphone.

Mayonnaise is a mixture of vinegar, oil, and eggs. These ingredients work together as a wonderful treatment for your damaged hair.
You can replenish the much-needed oils that your damaged hair is lacking by adding mayonnaise. The eggs provide vitamins, as well as proteins, and the oil softens and lubricates the hair shaft. The vinegar actually purifies your hair, making it much more manageable in general.
You put the mayonnaise on liberally, making sure your hair is damp before doing so. Put a shower cap or foil over your head for about 20 minutes, and then rinse off, shampoo, and condition as you usually do. You can add an additional egg yolk to the mix to make the treatment even better.

This week you might catch a glimpse of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird F-16s as they fly over the MLB All-Star Game in Minneapolis on Tuesday.
Right now, the Thunderbird F-16s are shining in red, white and blue in Duluth.
Captain Lucas Buckley has traveled the country with the Air Force, he's from Rosemount and said it's great to stop back home in Minnesota. "It's been an honor to serve in the Air Force for 10 years, and to come back and touch base with the local community here I couldn't be more proud," Buckley tells KSTP sister station WDIO.
He is in charge of maintenance for the 11 jets and said the Air Force has more career options than just being a pilot. "If you're looking to go to college and get some education and really get some life experience, I think the Air Force is a really great choice," Buckley said.
He said seeing the Thunderbirds' aerial maneuvers are a big draw, and as the maintenance officer he gets a front row seat.
"It never gets old for me to see a 10-year-old-kid just stare up at the sky and watch the airplanes. And the big smile on their face and they come up to you afterward and say, 'That was really neat. How can I do that someday?'" Buckley said.
The Thunderbirds will spend a few days in Duluth before they show off at the All-Star Game at Target Field.
"You'll see us come over about 500 feet at about 350 knots in a delta six-ship wedge formation," Buckley said.
Baseball fans will get a taste of what the Air Force can do, and some might just want to live at Mach speed.
Buckley said the Thunderbirds are stationed in Duluth, as they have all the tools they need to maintain the Thunderbirds. He said it's only a 20 minute flight to Minneapolis.

What to Look For In an SMS Marketing Service
In today's internet society, traditional marketing and advertising efforts tend to fall by the wayside. Instead, more advanced methods are quickly taking their place. From social media to SEO, companies are turning their attention to the latest and best the 21st century has to offer. Among these new offerings, they are also finding that the best way to reach customers is to actually advertise to them where they are currently at. In many cases, this is best achieved through SMS.
Working With an Experienced Provider
When you are considering SMS marketing services, the first thing you want to look at is the experience of your provider. You could certainly go it alone and hope for the best, but an experienced provider will give you a real advantage. This will ensure you spend your budget most efficiently and that you reach the right audience with your offerings. An experienced provider will help you to formulate a good plan based on your individual business model. This way, you remove all the guess work.
Getting Custom Metrics
Working with an experienced provider will also give you access to much more detailed metrics. Like any other marketing efforts, SMS marketing services will need to be tweaked from time to time. When you find that a specific promotion is yielding better results than another, you can use this data to influence your future decisions. The more metrics you have access to, the better you are able to tailor your program and the more people you will be able to reach. Make sure you can get a full read on your specific campaign, accounting for how many people received the promotion and looking at the effective conversion rate.
See History and Build Loyalty
In addition to the basic metrics, you should also make sure the service you use is able to provide you with message history. This way, you can go back throw your reports and see which of the messages you sent actually resulted in the best return on investment. Rather than simply go forward looking at trends, you will be allowed to see hard data. This will allow you to more effectively build brand loyalty and promote your services in the way that will work.
Starting with SMS Marketing Services
When you wish to get started with a new marketing program, it is important that you keep all of these criteria in mind. From there, consider the companies that can actually offer the complete package. Each one of these is an important part of the process, so the last thing you want to do is end up just selecting a company because they have one. Consider every avenue and make sure the company you partner with will really be able to ensure your success.
Ultimately, SMS marketing can be extremely helpful with customer retention. You will see more repeat business than before, and more importantly you will be able to track what has pulled that business in. This greater understanding of customer's buying habits will enhance all of your marketing efforts and give your business the leg up on competition.

you are incorrect. at&t's 3G service is for voice and data. this will work for 3G because gsm doesn't work will with this technology. their entire 3G network does voice and data. cdma carriers are the ones that doesn't use 3G for voice.
Apples and oranges. 3G for the 'GSM' tree is completely different from 3G on the CDMA tree. Technically speaking, 1xRTT, which is what Sprint/Verizon use for voice and narrowband internet is a 3G tech. That why almost every single sprint phone made, most verizon phones from the past 5 years and all virgin mobile phones have a sticker on the back that says '3G CDMA' on it.
