Minnesota farmers have nearly finished their corn harvest despite cold temperatures and snow over the past week. In its final crop report of the season for Minnesota, the US Department of Agriculture says that the corn harvest advanced 4 percentage points to 98% complete as of Sunday. That's 6 points ahead of the five-year average of 92% for this late in the season. Statewide, an average of around 5.4 days were rated suitable for fieldwork last week. As the state heads into winter, topsoil moisture supplies are rated 86% adequate and 8% short, while subsoil moisture is 75% adequate and 22% short.

"Brian Provinciano's Retro City Rampage was in development long enough that it could make a retro-inspired reference to itself. The wait's likely been most excruciating to Provinciano himself, but thankfully it's now over and we can give the game a try for ourselves. It's certainly as packed with references to '80s culture as we expected, but references are the sugar-coated candy of game experiences. Does the game have a more lasting enjoyment buried underneath the super-sweet exterior?" 4/5

The Power of Story
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2015
A few years ago I was being interviewed on radio. I was sitting at home in Sydney and the host was on the phone from regional Western Australia. We were talking about leadership and instincts as part of my book promotion campaign. Unfortunately, in the middle of the interview, part-way through a story I was telling, the phone-line dropped out.Read More

Why The Feedback Sandwich Does Not Work
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
The 'feedback sandwich' might be a good idea in theory…BUT… for humans it doesn't work.
The sandwich refers to an approach to giving negative feedback from a manager to a staff member. The sandwich metaphor refers to the negative feedback being placed between two positives; start with a positive, go to the negative and then end with another positive.Read More
I'm Interested in You as a Person – How Our Mindset Affects the Way We Manage
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
The mind and our beliefs are a powerful thing. They affect our health and wellbeing and affect our energy and output at work. Mindset should be part of a leader's toolkit.
In psychology the power of the mind includes the placebo effect. The placebo effect in the medical field is that many (sometimes, most) people get better from a medicine independent of whether the medicine they are prescribed is the real medicine or a sugar pill.Read More
Why don't people share vital information?
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
A common complaint in workplaces is that people from different parts of the organisation don't cooperate. This very human phenomenon is often expressed as "silo behaviour", as "knowledge is power" and as "tension between teams". The behaviour gets in the way in situations such as cross-selling where different products and services could be sold to the same client, cross-functional teamwork where solutions require different groups working together and in mergers and acquisitions where different groups are coming together.Read More
Protection in a Zero Privacy World
©2014 Meryl David BA (Hons), ABC, AIMM, GAICDD
It's simple. If you want to (or your business wants to) engage with people under the age of 35 with whom you cannot have face-to-face contact, it's important to accept that "you have zero privacy anyway; get over it!" (to use the 1999 words of Sun CEO Scott McNealy). Of course, if you have enough money, you can significantly improve your chances of buying the privacy you want for your information. But if you have that kind of money (as an individual or an enterprise), you are likely to have a higher profile and so be more of a target for those who seek to invade your privacy.Read More
Can a "face" make a difference?
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
To lift motivation and performance of a team, put a face to their task – have them meet someone who benefits from their work.
Humans are a face-reading species and as the truism tells us, there's nothing like putting a face to a name. Once we have met someone we have greater empathy.
It's not surprising that the science confirms significant impact on job motivation and performance if people who don't usually meet their clients do so.Read More
The Secret to Appointing the Best Managers
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
One of the most important decisions organisations make is who to appoint as a manager. It's not surprising for a social species that the leader of a group of humans plays a key role in team engagement and output. Our track record in manager appointments tends not to be good, and we could significantly improve our hit rate by using one lever. We could move the power of the decision from above and pass it into the hands of the followers.
Are we spoilt for choice? Too many jams!
Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014
Over the January holidays my wife and I dined with a friend at a fine-dining restaurant. At the early stage of ordering our meals there was so much choice we had trouble deciding. First we were presented with three menus (a la carte, degustation and "future concepts") and in turn on the a la carte menu there were an incredible number of choices. The three of us struggled to choose!
While choice is a good thing, maybe we can have too much. The subject goes to human motivation and has implications in our dealings with customers and staff.
Does team size matter?
By Andrew O'Keeffe ©2014 Hardwired Humans
Jeni and Ray Bonell live in the Australian city of Toowoomba. They are parents to a family of 15 children! Instinctively we know that's an awfully big family – it's clearly outside the normal size of a human family. We immediately wonder how they cope. The same question applies to workplace managers asked to manage teams of that size. How can they possibly cope? The short answer is managers can't as the group size is beyond human tolerance.
The Bonells have a chance of functioning because in their case they are kin. But managers in workplaces aren't generally managing kin. In abnormally large work teams team members get "lost", the team fractures into sub-groups, and engagement and productivity suffer.
Two recent studies provide insight into our nature and the implications of team size.Read More

Very nice :-) The blue banner/background combination looks really great :-)
Good job! And the navigation is really nicely done.
Nice work, Ed!
I think the site looks very nice, but I'd disagree with moshu and say that I really don't like the navigation. It's quite obscure, I didn't notice it easily, and it's not very usable. If it were me, I'd get rid of it.
I really like the entire site. I like the colours and I like the fact it's completely rock solid programming wise. I like the small elements like previous mastheads, that's a very nice touch right there. You'd think the pink wouldn't work, but it does very nicely. Not so sure about the sidebar to be honest. It seems a bit less funky than it could be. I'm talking about your categories section. All in all one of the better designs I've seen on the forums in a while.

It has been almost eleven years since that bitter-cold November night when Dallas police officer Robert Wood was gunned down by the driver of a car he had stopped for a minor traffic violation. The murder case has been to the U.S. Supreme Court, and it may be headed there again. Eleven years after the shooting, the case still rustles the memory and haunts the conscience of Dallas.
The only one who got a good look at the killer was Robert Wood, and for all practical purposes Wood was dead before he hit the ground. For several days the police searched for the wrong make of car, and for several weeks they assumed that the killer was Hispanic or black. The intensity of the investigation and its strange twists and quirks attracted considerable media coverage and aroused the city of Dallas to unaccustomed passion. By the time a legitimate suspect was arrested a few days before Christmas, 1976—nearly three weeks after the shooting—Wood's murder had become the longest and certainly the most embarrassing unsolved cop killing in the city's history. When a jury returned the death penalty the following May, there was a genuine feeling of exhilaration within the law enforcement fraternity, a belief that the painful affair had finally been put to rest.
But it hadn't. The case continues to haunt the conscience of Dallas for the very good reason that Dallas may have convicted the wrong man. Some top-notch lawyers who have reviewed the evidence are convinced that Adams is innocent, and so is a critically acclaimed filmmaker. Those people have discovered new evidence, and more important, they have uncovered dramatic insights into the old evidence. At stake is more than the life of one man. The stake is justice.
The four-day Thanksgiving weekend was winding down that frigid Saturday night in 1976. Shortly after midnight, Officer Robert Wood and his partner had stopped at the drive-in window of a Burger King on Hampton Road, which runs along the river bottom just west of down-town, through a high-crime district of warehouses and dreary housing projects. Wood's partner was Teresa Turko, one of the first females ever assigned to street patrol. She had been on the force for only about a year and, like the other women assigned to the dangerous job of patrolling the streets, was under unusual scrutiny and pressure to perform. Wood and Turko were being served coffee and a milk shake when they spotted a dirty blue compact car traveling near the Hampton Road viaduct with only its parking lights on.
A less conscientious cop might have stayed put and finished his coffee, but Wood flashed his red lights and gave chase. When he climbed out of his patrol car and walked toward the blue car, Wood apparently intended just to warn the driver; he left his ticket book on the seat. The standard procedure was to radio the vehicle's description and license number to the dispatcher, but most two-officer patrols ignored the procedure, and Wood ignored it too. It was also standard procedure for the second officer to stand at the right rear fender of the stopped vehicle, but investigators concluded later that Turko either stayed in the patrol car or at best stood beside its open door, drinking her milk shake. When Wood was shot, Turko dropped her milk shake and managed to fire several shots as the killer sped away. She immediately radioed for help, and within five minutes another unit was on the scene and others were on the way. But the killer's car had disappeared.
Badly shaken, Turko could supply only a skimpy description. The killer drove a blue Vega, she thought. She had gotten just a glimpse of the back of his head—he wore a heavy coat with the collar turned up, and his hair was dark and medium-length. She saw only one person in the car, and she couldn't tell if he was black or white. For several days her description was all the police had.
That night and most of the following day, the investigation centered on Turko. She was taken to headquarters, stripped of her gun and identification, and placed in a tiny room that was used to interrogate prisoners. Sergeant Gus Rose, probably the best detective on the force, questioned Turko repeatedly, once for four solid hours; still, she was unable to supply additional information. Wood had been the second cop in less than a month to fall victim to a wanton and seemingly random shooting, and the fear, anger and frustration that pervaded the ranks gave the new affair the irrational quality of a witch-hunt. Though an internal affairs investigation eventually concluded

Gilbert & George "Films and Video Sculptures, 1972-1981" @ Lehmann Maupin, NYCJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present a group of seminal films and video sculptures by pioneering artists Gilbert & George. Among the longest-enduring artist duos, they have had sustained influence on the contemporary art world for the past fifty years. The exhibition Films and Video Sculptures, 1972-1981 will be shown in the gallery's 201 Chrystie Street location and represents an integral, transitional link between the artists' early art and their later, more widely known large-scale pictures. This exhibition is the artists' fifth show with Lehmann Maupin.
David OReilly "Alien Child" for Spike Jonze's HERJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
If you remember, Spike Jonze's film "HER" had a bunch of really fantastic artistic touches, not to mention some fantastic film sequences shot in Shanghai. Juxtapoz cover artist Geoff McFetridge covered office walls with his drawings, and today, we wanted to take another look at David OReilly's animation work that coincided with shots inside Joaquin Phoenix's apartment. The "Alien Child" hologram sequences were all designed, 3d modeled, and composed by the former Jux feature artist OReilly. Another great example of how great filmmakers like Jonze are including the best of the best in art to help create his films.

Michael Lundgren's "Matter"Photography // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
"Embracing a minimalist approach, the images navigate an octave of duality—burial and emergence, solidity and transience, deep and shallow time—the life of cells and the life of stone. The sequence is structured on the connotation of the images, building tension through color relationships and oscillating into black-and-white to enhance and disturb picture logic," says photographer Michael Lundgren.
The Works of Marcelo DaldoceJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
Based out of New York City, Marcelo Daldoce, is a full-time artist that believes art making is a calling, study, leisure, therapy, and pleasure. Self-taught starting at the age of 16, he pursued painting throughout his studies landing him numerous group and focused exhibitions. Transforming the traditional painting, Daldoce creates a fine line between illusion and reality, slicing figures with geometric folds and patterns that jolt the conventional two-dimensional perspective. Each piece eccentrically focuses the eye so well it's mesmerizing how precise his folded paintings bring a flat surface to life.
Lena Klyukina's IllustrationsJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
Based out of Vilnius, Lithuania, Lena Klyukina floored us with her detailed and precise pieces. Her illustrations reminisce the 60s and 70s psychedelic age while creating compositions of cyber punk themes on a fine art level. Her artwork explores the emotional feelings we have with nature and ourselves in radical worlds. Check out more of her artwork here as well as her blog.
"Archimusic" by Federico BabinaDesign // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
We are always happy to see Frederico Babina's artsy and colorful collections combing architectural elements and inviting themes. "Archimusic" is another contemporary approach to transform 27 popular songs by David Bowe, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, The White Stripes, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart…to name a few, into graphic design. Representing the horizon with a music stanza, the composition morphs together displaying a fun illustrative building idea to represent many musicians.

last night after everyone went to bed, i needed to borrow my dd's ipad cord to charge my ipad. so i looked in her backpack and i was almost knocked over by the smell. i found 4 pieces of rotting fruit and 3 mold covered sandwiches in ziplocks amongst other unidentifiable rotting food items.
so, here is where i am struggling. she is 13, in 7th grade and we pay for her school lunch more often than i care to admit at $3.50 a pop for our lazy ways. but on the days when her account is running low or we are up and ready earlier than usual we have her make a lunch and bring it. quite frankly, if we were more together she would be taking her lunch every day because it is healthier and is less expensive! it never occurred to me that she would not be eating her lunch even though i did something very similar in 9th grade - it was some kind of embarrassment about brown-bagging it and i just shoved every lunch in my locker and found something else to do.......i don't really remember if my parents ever found out, i don't think so.....
at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, i'm really pissed about the waste of food and the lying. however, the biggest twist and the worst part is this. she is a type1 diabetic. so, if she is not eating at lunch that means she is going without food from breakfast till 4pm and she is supposed to be group texting her numbers and carb intake to us and the nurse but there are many days that we don't hear from her, the nurse reaches out to her, but there is always some excuse that she didn't notice the text, she forgot or was too busy with class to respond.
i never thought much of it till now, we are working on giving her more autonomy and responsibility with her diabetes and for the most part she is extremely compliant (meaning she knows the importance of taking care of herself and does so willingly), but now that i know that she is lying about this food, i really don't know what else she is hiding. i have found whole sleeves of fig newtons gone in a day. i don't think she is not taking insulin for them but the fact that she is being secretive about food is worrying.
i don't know whether i should be focused on the lying and waste, the diabetes, or the whole "food" thing. that part is very scary to me...google "diabulimia" if you don't already know what it is.
we have a pretty close relationship, she is our only child and we live 45mins from her school so we spend a lot of time together in the car. i need help with how to talk about this with her. i know this post seems all over the place, but if you have any questions i will respond to try to clear anything up. thanks, trina
Me + DH = DD (1/2004) & DS (6/2013) & One on the way (11/2015)
Well, I'd start by laying it out pretty much like you did here. "Hey dd, I needed to use the iPad and found all this stuff in your backpack. What's up with that?"
Then I might make a guess at why she didn't eat it — "are you embarrassed to be brown bagging your lunch?" (which btw, is totally a non-issue at my kids' schools).
"This is a problem because it's wasteful and I'm worried about your health." (I'm sure she knows this, but now might be a good time to remind her that not taking care of her blood sugar can cause big problems down the road. My high school friend and college roomate was type 1 diabetic, and I had to help her through a few situations, and I learned quite a bit about diabetes.)
"Also, I need to be able to trust you and I want you to feel comfortable coming to me if there's a problem. You can tell me if there's a problem with bringing your lunch from home."
Then once you have laid our your problems (wasteful, unhealthy, gross—I didn't mention that one, trust), let her lay out her problems (it's embarrassing to bring my lunch, it makes me feel different/stupid/like-a-diabetic-freak, I really don't like peanut butter sandwiches, etc).
Then you work together and see if you can come up with an agreement and a plan for the future. She pays for school lunch 2 days a week out of her own money. She makes her own sandwich, whatever.
I wouldn't punish. I have one daughter (dd1) who doesn't have a sneaky bone in her body, but dd2 will try to sneak. If I catch her and am angry that just makes it worse, but if I can keep my temper in check and make a connection with her it shuts down the sneaky impulse and builds the trust.
"All you fascists are bound to lose" — Woody Guthrie
thanks for your reply! funny enough, that's about how i handled it (been a member of this board for about the same amount of time as you, i guess we must have a similar style of parenting :) )
i did get a little snappy with her because i wasn't getting much from her in the area of "why" she would do that and it was getting frustrating. but we ended with a plan in place that she would not do that anymore, she would empty her backpack nightly and get back into the habit of texting her numbers and checking in and she has been keeping it up for the last few days so i am feeling better. i think i panicked before i spoke to her about it because of the possible long-term implications of her actions and what they might mean but i'm confident that i was over-reacting.
thanks again for your input, i kinda figured i wouldn't get too many responses because of the T1D component but i'm glad you chimed in! :)
I just gave you my ideal parenting solution. Not sure if I would have been that cool digging into a bag of wasted food in real life. On the internet, I'm cool mom, but IRL...not always.
We have wasting food issues at my house, too, and it drives me crazy. My kids both take their lunches from home, though, and have insulated lunch bags, so we have an empty-the-lunch-bag ritual every afternoon. I still find dirty socks and random empty chip bags (trading with friends?) and other detritus in the backpacks whenever I have to excavate while looking for some important paper/book/whatever. Sometimes it's moderately gross, but we do stay on top of the lunch bags because we've got to use them again the next day.
FWIW, my friend who is Type 1 will be turning 50 next month and is in pretty good health. She went through many years of finger pricks and giving herself injections before she got a pump. She did have some high blood sugar times and low blood sugar times over the years, but I don't think any youthful indiscretion has had a major impact on her health.
"All you fascists are bound to lose" — Woody Guthrie
We didn't have critical health issues but we did deal with this issue somewhat in my household... My daughter wanted to bring food from home without all the flack. Daily the faculty and students would pass by to see what was in her lunch bag, offering her other options to "save" her. She would talk about this and I was surprised, because I didn't remember this kind of pressure (however, 40% of my school bagged lunch in those days).
What I did was this: I "gourmeted" her lunch. Since she was already getting attention, we decided to spin it and I made stuff like lettuce or balogna rolls with cheese filling, fancy olives or pickles, tuna in an herbed pita, etc. So the issue was spun from questions about "why you don't eat like we do" to curiosity and sharing and conversation about food, cuisine, and nutrition (more or less, it was an improvement, although she would have wished the attention went way altogether).
Perhaps if your daughter felt that her food was "better" than what was being offered or had a social patina to it she would eat it willingly. Even publicly.
Good luck!

Rocket pot oven
1 Attachment(s)
I began construction. A series of experiments led me to this. The simple idea is a rocket stove heating a clay pot with a 13" pizza stone inside. That sounds easy right? If this works I might use a larger pot as the dome for a WFO. If that doesn't work I will continue with the brick dome plan.
I shall attempt to post pictures as I progress.
Notice the fancy brick work.
Re: Rocket pot oven
Hi there, im playing with the same idea, how did u go and what temp u get with a small rocket stove?
Re: Rocket pot oven

Okay here is the update. I'm using 6" tube for the rocket stove portion. Upsized from 4" coffee cans.
The pot and saucer combo is 16" from Mexico via Home Depot. I started cutting it with abrasives on the angle grinder but sprung for a diamond blade on my last trip.
What else? I hope to do a lot of work this weekend, I can barely squeeze in one course of brick on a work day.

Is there a reason I can only post one pic?
Here is the pot
Re: Rocket pot oven
He there, looks like a nice big pot that wild hold pizza, i might want to use thicker metal pipe fpr t rocket stove, i have used a few stoves. And i started out using think metal like u but if u use for some time they wil get so hot. That the metal wil disintegrate over time.
It wil last for a month. Of daily firing. I used cofeee cans first time, and same pipe as u have 2 nd time and for my pizza oven i wil use proper steel pipe since i wil put it under the base of my oven and cant make repairs, i. Wil make a smaller oven so i hope to get good temp with a big rocket underneat t oven.
Good luck. With project, let us know. How it works

I just thought I'd throw up today's progress. I put down a couple of courses of bricks. And use my diamond cutter to make a door in my pot. I've learned that brickwork is much harder than it looks. And that a tiny bit of water your mortar makes a huge difference. I believe the lego company lied to me as a child.
Re: Rocket pot oven
I am following this with great interest! Not for the rocket stove angle, but for the terra-cotta pot as a form for a simi-conventional pompeii. Maybe a 4" natural clay or fireclay and type N mortar (50% hydrated lime and portland) shell used for thermal mass. Maybe just clay or firebrick layed against the terra-cotta form, should it fail. Maybe even combining a paired set of the cheaper unglazed terra-cotta pot and a small chiminea as a form.
Just sayin"
Re: Rocket pot oven
A couple of answers, and a question or two.
Hendrik, I most have glossed over your first question, sorry. It looks like you wanted to know about early testing. So, here goes. I made a small rocket stove with soup cans- around 3" diameter. Chimney about 12" tall. I surrounded this with red brick- this was simply to hold a flower pot but may have provided some minor heat retention. Over the exhaust of the rocket I inverted a 12" pot that had been rotting in a small pond. (Nothing but the finest for me) the set an oven thermometer inside the pot. Within a few minutes I was at 5-600F. The tiny rocket stove, and my distractibility, didn't necessarily provide scientifically verifiable results.
Gulf, you may be interested in another trial I did. With a small pot set up as described above I had a temp around 400F. I wondered what might happen if I place a second larger pot over it for insulation. The temp shot up to 600+. You described various layers in your post. I thought about the same thing as a way to save time and maybe a few $$$. I think an insulating layer might be needed but takes away from the look.
Hendrik- do you think the wet weather contributed to your pipe decomposition?
Also I have seen "black clay" pots that are made in Vietnam. They are supposed to be high quality and fired at a high temp. You may have access to that type of pot. That might be a good dome, they are expensive around here.
Re: Rocket pot oven
Is the heat is only coming from the bottom of the oven in this design? It is going to be tough to cook the top of a pizza before the crust burns.
Re: Rocket pot oven
Good question. The answer is yes and no, in theory. Yes the heat is all generated below the oven, however there is space around the entire "floor" that allows the hot rocket exhaust to enter the dome and then be reflected back to the top of the pizza. At least that's the theory.

This is an absolutely true story. A friend of mine called up a while ago, one who I always help with PC issues and he told me he "hadn't got enough Java", It made me laugh.
He's also had horrible things on his PC, hijacking google. A friend on MSN sent him a message saying the smileys were cool and because he knew the the person he happily installed them aghhh!
Every time I go round, I have to fix something despite trying to set him up to be more secure and trying to give him some basic do's and don't's, he has got better though.
oh and "don't remove the toolbars" (the ones reducing the size of the browser by a 1/3).
