Why Should Demanding Respect Get You Busted? Beer Will Not Solve This
Beer solves a lot of things. This is not one.
Anyway I can well understand why a woman in Cambridge would call 911 as she did after hearing from a second woman that two men (she called them "gentlemen") had tried to get into a house and broken the screen door. Some of the initial commentary on this incident depicted the caller as a white racist but there seems no evidence for that. And I have no idea of how race enters into Sergeant James M. Crowley's interactions with people.
But this is what really annoys me. The sergeant goes into a man's house, taking him by surprise, demanding identification. When the man in return demands ID he calls him uncooperative and calls for back-up. When he has the audacity to follow him out of the house he has the backup forces handcuff the professor and take him off to jail.
I don't know that this was done deliberately by Crowley to make some sort of point to the world about how people of color or people in general ought to behave towards the police in order to avoid being arrested. But he is after all part of a culture.
"You don't argue with a police officer," Colin Powell told Larry King, commenting on the Gates episode and his own personal history. ("You just suck up," the general recommends, speaking apparently to any wishing to emulate his own career path, one suck-up after another from the My Lai Massacre cover-up to that amazing UN speech of absolute fabrications justifying the Iraq War in 2003.)
But why not argue, if anyone in this society is supposed to believe it's a free one? Why should arguing with a cop, or just demanding his name and badge---after he's walked into your house---get you get you arrested for "disorderly conduct"? Why should he have the right to do that to you---as a Black man or as anybody else---just because he's a cop?
A cop's someone supposed to be doing a job protecting the public. Isn't that the idea? Instead he or she is given impunity to bust people he/she finds personally uppity. This is a system problem.
A couple of beers at the White House is not going solve it. It may be that after seeing the glowing cheeks and smiling faces at the press conference afterwards, and hearing the reconciliatory carefully worded statements made, the thoughtful mind observing this little drama may actually require a few more drinks.

Just as there will always be an England, there will always be a certain kind of English film: the highly polished entertainment, well-acted, genteelly amusing and impeccably turned out.
"Mrs. Henderson Presents" is the latest example of the trend and an especially satisfying one.
Directed by the veteran Stephen Frears and featuring fine performances by Bob Hoskins and an irresistible Judi Dench, "Mrs. Henderson Presents" is an artfully sentimentalized valentine to show business in general and musical theater in particular, with the stiff-upper-lip pluckiness of London during the blitz serving as a backdrop.
Not just any kind of musical theater is being celebrated, as it happens, but a curious corner of British theatrical history. That would be the years surrounding World War II when a place in Soho called the Windmill shocked Britain by putting naked young women onstage and getting away with it.
According to Martin Sherman's smartly good-natured script — inspired, we are told, by true events — none of this would have happened without the tempestuous partnership of the wealthy and eccentric Mrs. Laura Henderson (Dench) and a scrappy theatrical manager named Vivian Van Damm (Hoskins).
We meet Mrs. Henderson at the funereal moment in 1937 when Mr. Henderson is no more. The type of woman who says "I'd rather drink ink" when asked if she'd like to view some tapestries, Mrs. Henderson is soon bored to tears with widowhood. On a whim, she buys the Windmill and hires Van Damm to manage the place.
Not that hiring him was easy. "You're 20 minutes late and you're rude," are Van Damm's first words to his new boss, and their relationship goes down and up and down from there. The pair's combative rapport is surprisingly endearing, characterized by her commenting after one of his full-bore sallies that "I have no idea what you're talking about, but I do admire passion."
Inspired by her memories of Paris' Moulin Rouge and a personal tragedy she keeps hidden from Van Damm, it is Mrs. Henderson who comes up with the idea of having performers without any clothes on her stage.
Told things like that aren't done in England, she browbeats London's censor, her old friend Lord Cromer (a delightful Christopher Guest), until he agrees to the show with one condition: It must be a tableaux vivant, a living painting in which no one is allowed to move.
Much of "Mrs. Henderson Presents" follows familiar patterns: The girls have to be recruited, persuaded to be comfortably nude on stage, and then shielded from the ravages of London under the blitz. All the while Mrs. H. and Van Damm go at it hammer and tongs, unable to live professionally either with or without each other.
Several things make all this extremely palatable, starting with the presence of 14 vintage stage musical numbers, including Benny Goodman's "Goody Goody" and the classically jaunty "Babies of the Blitz."
Also invaluable is the professionalism of director Frears, who never likes to do the same project twice and is coming off the much darker "Dirty Pretty Things."
"Mrs. Henderson Presents" may be old-fashioned, but Frears' touch keeps it as honest as it can be. Best of all, and the heart of "Mrs. Henderson's" appeal, is the performance of Dench in the title role. Though Hoskins is excellent and an essential foil, it is Dench who takes command of the film. The part of "a most exasperating woman" who says whatever's on her mind fits the actress like a tailored Chanel suit. Dench has an Oscar and all kinds of awards behind her, but this tart-tongued role is one of her very best.

Main Instruments: Drums, percussion, back up vocals
Other Instruments: Keyboards, Bass Guitar.
Other interests: Skateboarding, Videography, Songwriting
Having a professional guitarist/singer for a father and growing up in the Boston area, Tyler has been exposed to musicians and music all his life. Tyler's fascination with the drums began when he was about two years old when his parents agreed to store a friends drum set in their living room while he relocated. The attraction to something that makes sounds from hitting it with a stick was all he needed to know. From the first time he sat at a kit he had a grasp of rhythm that was remarkable. Self taught by listening to CD's and watching videos, Tyler was told he was already playing at a high school level when he began formal training at age 6 with Berklee graduate Shawn Meehan. Tyler then went on to take instruction from Berklee teacher Mike Mangini.
At the age of 5 Tyler was sitting in at parties and local clubs with adult bands. By the age of seven he was regularly performing many songs ranging from James Brown to Rush. Since then he has developed into a professional grade musician. His musical expertise include funk, rock, metal, jazz, pop, blues, country, rockabilly, progressive rock and fusion. He proficiently plays these styles with conviction and maturity. Tyler not only plays well, he also complements and works the compositions with his fellow musicians. His control of dynamics and feel won him a standing ovation at the age of 9 after being asked to come up to improvise with Jazz artist Joe Sallins. Aside from drumming, Tyler also has a natural ability to create complex vocal harmonies and layers. This talent allows him to write and arrange multiple parts and harmonies for his original compositions. He also sings throughout complex songs where the percussion is intense and the timing signature intricate.
At age 8 Tyler started co-writing songs with his first band used for many years as the web audio sample for the National Guitar Workshops rock camp 'Dayjams'. Since then he has recorded numerous originals with various other bands. His current band Mindwalk Blvd went on to win many national songwriting competitions and has received major radio airplay in Portugal. (Mindwalk Blvd Bio)
Signed to a label with Mindwalk Blvd at the age of 14 he recorded with producer Andrew Murdock "Mudrock" (Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack). He has also worked with other great producers such as John Ellis (Godsmack, Journey, American HiFi) and Anthony Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran, Collective Soul).
Tyler's video of his drumming life ages 2-11 has received over a million hits in one day on Break.com and has had over 1.6 million hits on Youtube.
Competing on an adult level, at the age of 11 he has won store drum-off events and Battle Of The Band competitions. At age 10 he was part of a three part news series on WB56 Boston on songwriting at the rock camp 'Dayjams'. His band Mindwalk was showcased on Fox 25 TV Boston playing their original Glory's Gates. Some of Tyler's video clips were used as a promotional bump for My Kids A... on the Learning Channel. He has had spreads in Major publications such as Modern Drummer and Drum magazine and with Mindwalk Blvd in Progressions Magazine and others.
Mindwalk Blvd now in it's 8th year, has evolved into a professional grade band and can be compared alongside the best in the business. They have opened for national acts such as Fair to Midland, Evans Blue, 10 years, Theory of a Deadman, Alterbridge etc.

Keep reading. This article will help you (or someone you know) understand the value of a business blog.
Is Google the Only Reason to Blog?
I have a question for you, and it's a serious one: If you never garnered another single visitor to your company blog through search engine optimization (SEO), would you still have one?
For many, especially execs who don't necessarily "get it" when it comes to content marketing, the answer would be, "No way!"
But for those persons and companies that have watched the magic of blogging and its effect beyond SEO, the answer would be a resounding, "Of course!"
That's what this article is all about. There's much more to having a company blog than just getting more visitors to your website because Google decided to send them there.
In fact, here are 5 other powerful reasons why you should be blogging, and I look forward to hearing what you would add in the comments section at the end.

Using Reader Extensions and Barcoded Forms
I'm starting a new hands on series for LiveCycle called appropriately: Hands On LiveCycle. This series will give you a complete and working sample LCA (LiveCycle Archive) file that you can import and run on your LiveCycle server. These hands on entries will attempt to solve a real world problem and will start out simple and continue to grow in complexity. If you have a suggestion for a hands on entry you would like to see feel free to let me know!
I'm kicking the series off with a problem that something that most consumers and agencies can relate to. How to handle a form that requires a wet signature, or an actual physical signature on the document.
In a perfect world everyone would accept a digital signature and all forms would be able to be submitted online. However, we don't live in a perfect world and a good number of companies and government agencies still require a wet signature on a document or form to do business. If you wanted to fill out a form for a financial service or a government request the typical process today might go something like this:
- Download the document
- Print the document
- Fill out the document
- Sign the document
- Mail the document
Once the document is in the mail the process continues:
- Receive the document
- Key in the data in the document to the database
- Store the document on the server
There are quite a few things that can go wrong with this human centric process. The document could get lost in the mail, the user could fat finger the data, causing delays, or the document could be stored in the wrong place. There are several ways that this process can be improved, just by using LiveCycle Reader Extensions, the LiveCycle Foundation Services and the free Adobe Reader (Barcoded Forms is now included with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions service) Using LiveCycle Reader Extensions allows you to automate several pieces of this process and in some cases more, depending on how a company or agency is willing to accept the form.
For this LiveCycle Hands On, it is assumed that the document will be filled out, printed, signed and mailed in by the applicant. Once the document arrives at the agency, it will be scanned and placed in a folder that is watched by LiveCycle. Once LiveCycle sees the document in the folder it will be processed, the applicant data will be stored in a database and the document will be written to the file system.
This process could be made even faster by removing the snail mail portion if the agency was willing to accept a document by email. If so, the applicant could scan the document themselves, attach it to an email and send it to an email address that LiveCycle monitors. Also, with the use of Reader Extensions, the user can now save a copy of the completed form to their hard drive.
Download the zip file: Barcoded_Form_Demo.zip
The zip file for this hands on has a .lca file containing a form, some sample data and a process as well as a sample filled out form and a SQL script to create the demo table. The SQL Script should be run on the server that is hosting the LiveCycle Database and should use the adobe schema. The form will work either as the PDF file included, or if the form is printed out and scanned. LiveCycle is able to decode the information from the barcode either way.
The Barcoded Form Demo Process:
The process is broken down below into steps and the operations used.
- LiveCycle recieves a document from the watched folder to start the process
- LiveCycle extracts the data from the barcode and adds it to a XML variable. Operation: Decode Category: Barcoded Forms
- LiveCycle extracts the XML form data from the barcode data and stores it in an XML list variable. Category: Extract To XML Service: Barcoded Forms
- LiveCycle sets the form data to the first element of the XML list variable. Operation: Set Value Category: Foundation
- LiveCycle inserts the data into the database. Operation: Execute SQL Statement Category: Foundation
- LiveCycle writes the document to the file system. Operation: Write Document Category: Foundation
Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments and I will try to answer them as quickly as I can!

UC Health will pay $15 million to buy Drake Hospital from Hamilton County and spend $1.25 million to prevent baby deaths, but it wont fund other public health initiatives the county wanted.
The Hartwell rehabilitation hospital was sold to solve a deficit in the fund that pays for the countys two professional sports stadiums and restore a property tax credit to homeowners.
The deal set to be signed Thursday was discussed in broad terms at Mondays Board of Commissioners staff meeting. The Enquirer obtained the sale documents though a public records request.
Commissioners Chris Monzel and Todd Portune over the objections of Commissioner Greg Hartmannn orchestrated the controversial Drake deal. Critics said $15 million was too little. Monzel and Portune promised the deal was worth more than $15 million because UC Health would invest in public health programs, including: infant mortality reduction, dental care for the poor, a program that seeks matching money for Medicaid payments and the Children with Medical Handicaps program.
But an Enquirer review of the sale documents shows only infant mortality has a dollar figure attached: $250,000 a year for five years.
And even that isnt an ironclad promise. A clause in the agreement says those things are subject to UC Health and Drake Centers ability to pay and whether officials there believe the indigent care levy has been adequately funded.
Commissioners cut levy funding to UC Healths University Hospital this year by $5.1 million to $20.9 million, an amount approved by voters. University Hospital officials fought the cut.
Monzel and Portune also said the county would share sale money of Drake on a sliding percentage scale if University Hospital sold it within 10 years. But the contract says anything UC Health spends counts against the county in such a potential deal and that any Drake losses dating to 2006 also count against the county.
Drake has been losing money. For the fiscal year ending in June 2011, it lost $11.2 million. It expects to lose $3.7 million next year, UC Health officials have said.
Under the agreements, heres what UC Health agrees to do:
Work with other agencies to reduce the countys infant mortality rate. It committed $250,000 a year for five years.
Coordinate local efforts to get matching funds for Medicaid payments. That includes updating the countys 2009 study, Re-Envisioning the Hamilton County Health Care Safety Net and updating its recommendations. It must be done by the end of the year. It doesnt have to implement them.
Review existing dental programs with an eye on where collaborations can happen. UC Health must provide education about the current program and design outreach services. It doesnt have to do them.
Re-examine whether the indigent care levy can help cover the costs of the state-mandated Children with Medical Handicaps Program. The state cut funding for the program, forcing the local Job and Family Services agency to pick up the cost.
UC Health must also commit to the long-term success of the Drake Center and its historic mission.
Its all window dressing, said Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes, who reviewed the document. UC Health doesnt have to do anything.
Rhodes said it was a bad deal from the start.
It doesnt make sense to give away a valuable asset for a bargain basement price and now theyre trying to pretend theyre getting something extra when theyre not, Rhodes said.
How can they sell this to the taxpayers as a good deal? Rhodes said.
The deal has been controversial since it was announced in November because many thought the $15 million sale price was too low and it calls for selling a county asset to solve a problem for one year.
But the sale allowed the county to reinstate the full property tax rollback that was promised to voters when they approved building the stadiums in 1996.
Portune touted the idea that the deal was worth more than $15 million because UC Health was committing to help important public health programs.
Monday, Portune said the hospital was not going to write a blank check.
You dont know what is needed until the work is concluded, Portune said.
Monzel said the deal was to sell Drake and deferred questions about the other programs to Portune.
My whole thing was get the deal done, all the other stuff will get done over time, Monzel said. As long as there was some broad framework.
Hartmann continues to believe the deal is a bad one for taxpayers. Ive seen the terms and the county didnt get additional benefits to justify the transactions, he said.
Tony Condia, vice president of communications at UC Health, did not return a call for comment.
The county needs the $15 million from the sale by the end of the month to keep the stadium fund operating. Thats the date Rhodes needs the cash to pay the first half of the property tax credit.
In 1996, Hamilton County voters passed a half-cent sales tax to build Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ball Park. But the stadiums cost more than expected and the sales tax hasnt brought in enough money. Starting in 2010, the sales tax fund has ended each year with a deficit, meaning commissioners had to cover the shortfall. This year the deficit was projected to be $14.2 million. Monzels solution was to sell Drake, repeatedly saying the county shouldnt be in the hospital business.
Only University Hospital could buy Drake because it had a 2008 lease that called for it to pay the county $1 million a year, adjusted for inflation, for 27 years. The 2011 payment was $1,070,000. Rhodes office put the price at $45 million, but that figure included land and buildings not being sold. No new valuation was done.

I made halfhearted attempts to do it with my ODD but never went through with it. She ended up being an early talker and was pretty good at communicating even before she talked, so it wasn't really necessary.
This time around I really can't imagine adding anything else to our days ... I just don't have the energy. And this baby is also pretty good at indicating what she wants. I think I would be more likely to do it if I had a baby who often seemed frustrated.

The verdict is in. Having perused the ten spectacular strikes selected by the FIFA.com team, the site's users have voted for the best goal of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011. And topping the poll was Julio Gomez's superb overhead kick in Mexico's semi-final against Germany, a goal that clinched a 3-2 win for the hosts and gave them a place in the final.
Taking second place behind the adidas Golden Ball winner was Canada goalkeeper Quillan Roberts and his improbable equaliser in the 2-2 draw with England, a shot struck from inside his own half. Completing the podium was the adidas Golden Boot winner Souleymane Coulibaly and his magnificent overhead kick in Côte d'Ivoire's 3-3 draw with Brazil in the group phase.

Jim Boyce wants Premier League to back 2022 winter World Cup
Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce has called on the Premier League to drop its opposition to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar being switched to winter.
Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, said he is determined to move the tournament to avoid the intense summer heat.
But the Premier League is opposed to a move as it would cause major disruptions to the fixture calendar.
"A sensible decision has to be made," Boyce told the BBC. "I would appeal to people in the Premier League."
"The realities of awarding Qatar the 2022 World Cup have now dawned on Fifa and the major domestic leagues.
"Sepp Blatter announced he will ask his executive committee, in October, to move the tournament from the searing summer heat in the desert state to the cooler, winter months.
"That has prompted Richard Scudamore to reflect that disruption to football's calendar - in the seasons leading up to 2022 and possibly after - will prove 'chaotic'.
"Then there are the proponents who say 2022 should be a watershed moment for football - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to switch the domestic game to the summer months to take advantage of better weather in the lucrative European leagues.
"That's something that will be vehemently opposed by cricket and other sports that currently play in football's off-season.
"A fierce debate is underway and the battle-lines are being drawn."
Medical evidence highlighted the dangers of playing games in temperatures that average 40C in June and can reach 50C. The heat dips to an average of 20C during the winter months.
Qatar said it would play games in air-conditioned stadiums, but that will only resolve the problem in venues.
Boyce said: "I know Qatar has said they will air-condition the stadiums and I'm sure they will be fantastic but you have to be realistic.
"You're taking thousands of people, who want to see and enjoy a World Cup, but in temperatures exceeding 50 degrees, that would not be comfortable or healthy for all of those people.
"Probably the main objectors at the moment are the Premier League and I can understand why because there's a lot of money involved.
"But from a common sense and especially a health point of view, (a winter World Cup) is something I would dearly love to see and I would hope that people would sit down and try to sort it out."
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is worried that momentum is shifting in favour of a winter World Cup but insists he will continue to fight the proposal.
"Ultimately Fifa will decide, so of course one is worried," he said. "We're not silly, we're not stupid, we can see that that's the way the momentum is shifting.
"They can't really just decide to shift it by six months. Everybody's running a tight calendar.
"To suddenly change it all around is very impractical and in my view won't work and it shouldn't be allowed to work."

Why are the moderators not allowing me to comment on the honesty of FIFA top brass. Why is this not being allowed on the message board? Most football fans share my belief. It is obviously the case. That is why we are having a world cup in the winter in Qatar. BBC please stop stifling debate and free speech.

I've pleaded with other people not to confuse JDandfries with facts that he won't like.
He's pro the WC in Qatar even in winter and no amount of facts will convince him otherwise.
He's one of those people gifted with a talent:
Everyone else is wrong because I'm right.

who makes those rankings, the Al Thani family?
Qatar do have better human rights records than most of its neighbours, but once they solicit for the footballing cultures from around the world to come to their tiny country, they have to be willing to liberalise for a month at least. That's just being polite.

"A sensible decision has to be made," Boyce told the BBC.
Its a bit late for that you decided to hold the world cup in Qatar.
Lets just hope we don't qualify.

Think it's time the FA got together with other national organisations and started a 'rebel' international federation built on the interests of countries which actually have football at their heart rather than bending to corporate whims ... but that's probably far too sensible / radical ... *sigh* ...

Andy Serkis sets the digital world in motion in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
The list of actors and celebrities – from Sir Patrick Stewart in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow to Jason Donovan in Buzz! – lending their vocal talent to game-exclusive characters grows ever larger, but seldom do actors get to couple their voice with a physical performance. One such star doing exactly that, however, is Andy Serkis, who not only voices Monkey, the lead of Ninja Theory's recently released Enslaved: Odyssey to the West but also acts the scripted scenes.
Of course Andy Serkis is no stranger to so-called 'performance capture', the process of recording and digitising an actor's face and body movements before mapping on to that foundation an animated character. Most famous for his mesmerising portrayal of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings as well as lending gravitas to the monster ape in Peter Jackson's King Kong, Serkis is perhaps the most motion captured actor on the planet.
"I would never approach acting any differently if it's stage work, film or now gaming", says Serkis. "It's all about embodying the character and being as truthful emotionally as you can possibly be. The only difference with something like [Enslaved] is that you have the ability to transform, to puppeteer a character to a certain extent."
His in-game character, Monkey, is the strong and silent type, the brawn of a duo in which Trip, a young woman, provides the brains; as the pair vie against the mechanical monstrosities roaming a post-apocalyptic earth. In order to gain Monkey's protection Trip subjugates him with a device which inflicts pain unless her orders are followed; however adversity soon breeds a respect between the two.
"Along the route they begin to affect each other; they're worlds apart at the beginning [of the game] but they go on to form a strong relationship", he explains. "The challenge of the piece in terms of an acting experience was how to make that work in a game – make it plausible."
While Ninja Theory's next game is set to be DMC, a reboot of long-standing franchise Devil May Cry, Serkis is currently concentrating on the final stages of his own performance capture studio he's dubbed The Imaginarium, as he looks to future of both film and game industries.
"I realise the importance of [games] as an artistic arena and really where it [entertainment] is heading," he says. "We're really only at the beginning, but children and young games players will receive stories and morals in gaming and therefore games deserve a certain amount of investment artistically."
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is available now for PS3 and Xbox 360.Tagged in: andy serkis, enslaved: odyssey to the west, games, gaming, monkey, PS3, technology, trip, videogames, Xbox 360

Alternate title: The Best Film, Samyy Luchshiy Film, Samiy Luchshiy Film, The Best Movie, Samyj Luchshij Film, Samy Luchshy Film
Russian director Kirill Kuzin's slapstick farce Samiy Luchshiy Film (or The Very Best Film) observes the plight of a self-obsessed young snob who experiences a fatal accident at his own wedding. He then winds up in Purgatory and is confronted with all of the misdeeds that he committed during his time on Earth. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

What would you say you do here?
Stop struggling with trying to come up with interesting topics for your blog, status updates for your company or dealing with boring writers. My job is to get you exciting copy for whatever you need — just ask.
Quality editorial content is clean, free of errors and comes in on time. As the editor in chief of multiple publications and websites, I know how to provide the materials you need in a timely manner.
Professionally formatted copy can be the difference between selling your product and losing the sale. From advertising to Facebook status updates, I can copy edit them all.
Sometimes people say nice things about me.
Kevin Whipps and I both worked as copy editors at 944. During that time, we worked both together and separately on various projects. Kevin was always prepared and extremely organized, and he was great at brainstorming new ways in which we could streamline our department and production procedures. He is an incredibly detail-oriented worker who sometimes goes to great pains to do whatever it takes to guarantee that his finished product is not only his best possible work, but also exactly (or even above and beyond) what his client or coworker had in mind, making him an absolute pleasure to work with. Kevin is the guy you go to when you want something done right the first time
The things I appreciate most about Kevin as an editor include his positive encouragement and constructive feedback. He's open to new ideas and provides a great balance of structure and creative freedom. It's a pleasure to work with Kevin, who generously gives his writers opportunities to grow and learn.
I am so lucky to have been able to work with Kevin on Rebel. He is easily the most organized and driven editor I have met. Kevin has never missed a deadline and is easily the most important person to have on your team. Coming from the design side, these skills are make or break in the publishing industry. He not only has eyes like a hawk for editing, but he has an amazing way of telling stories that are thought provoking and inspiring.
Kevin is a true professional. Always deadline diligent and delivers top quality product on time, EVERY time! Through the years I have learned who to rely on and have in my corner, and Kevin is on the top of that list.
As Kevin will admit, I took a chance on him when he was hired to work as a copy editor at 944 Magazine. He was an experienced freelance writer, but had never worked in the day-to-day operations of a publication.
Thankfully, Kevin took to his new job basically from day one. I threw a lot of responsibilities and projects at him during his time, and he never backed down from the challenges. Kevin's organization and meticulous detail are keys to his success, and that can be seen in his thriving freelance roles as a writer, editor and photographer today.
In many ways, Kevin was exactly the kind of person you always hope to hire — dependable, detail-orientated and talented. He was a great addition to our team and, perhaps more importantly, made our product better.
Got a job that you need handled? Drop me a line and let's figure it out together.

Possibly tho' Fraoch Dho\mhnaill sounds a bit more like a
sluagh-ghairm (warcry) than a name (Fraoch! is the Clan Donald
rallying cry and heather their badge). A wee flick through Peader
Morgan's "Ainmean Chloinne" suggest a rather limited number of
female names compared to the number he's assembled for boys
(although I'm not sure if I'd be that thankful to be christened
Drostan, much as I like the name).
I wonder what the origins of the name Heather in English are. It
just crossed my mind that with it's clan Donald and Lewis
connotations whether it's popularity in Scotland arose initially
with people with those connections. It's a bit far-fetched I
realise but I wondered if a parent somewhere blanched from those
unwieldy 19th century Englished names found in the highlands and
islands like Donaldina.
Anyhow given this paucity of female names I think we can safely
start making up the short comings. personally if we gaelicize
Heather's name I wonder if we should add one of those diminutive or
other endings most native names end in (-ag, -as, -idh and -a
seem productive for female names). So maybe it's more Fraochag than
plain fraoch. Anyhow it seems that creativity may be required,
(and what Heather prefers of course)
(who suspects he may be rambling early this new year)

The most coveted level of vision is 20/20, which means you can correctly identify 20 out of 20 swear words on the optometrist's eye chart. Focus on what matters with this Groupon.
$75 for an Eye Exam and $200 Toward Prescription Frames and Lenses ($360 Value)
While prices vary based on brands and models, frames start at $170. Brands include Fendi, Gucci, Prada, and more.
Legacy Eyecare
Trained at Bascom Palmer Eye Hospital and Indiana University—one of the nation's top-ranked optometry schools—Dr. Jeff Brewer now leads a trio of doctors whose backgrounds include pediatric eye care and volunteer work in Guatemala and Afghanistan. The doctors put their varied experiences to work during routine eye exams, utilizing Optomap retinal-scan technology to create a map that, in about one-fourth of a second, reveals 80% of the retina's surface and 90% of the terrible things witnessed at Six Flags. This process gives an accurate window into the health of the eye without the need to dilate the patient's iris, a process that can be uncomfortable for children or people who are sensitive to light.
After issuing a fresh prescription, the team also helps patients select frames from racks stocked with designer eyewear from brands including Armani, Coach, and Maui Jim.
92% of 24 customers recommend
"They were amazingly kind, helpful, and efficient!"
"Great place, great people. I will recommend"
"Legacy's customer service was a 10 out of 10. I'd like to recognize the tech that completed my tests, Dr. Jackson, and the opticians who helped me purchase glasses. ..."
"Legacy's customer service was a 10 out of 10. I'd like to recognize the tech that completed my tests, Dr. Jackson, and the opticians who helped me purchase glasses. The tech was friendly, made me feel welcome; Dr. Jackson was very thorough, he didn't make me feel rushed, and answered all of my questions. The opticians stood out, after my appt I spent 15 minutes with an optician (Mike, I believe) to get pricing & options. I was planning on shopping around, Mike didn't try to pressure me into buying that day. I returned the following day, I worked with Jennifer (not 100% sure on name) and ended up purchasing a pair of addidas frames & Oakley prescription sunglasses. Jennifer spent over an hour with me, and did her best to get me the best price which I appreciated. I also appreciated Jennifer's explanation/attitude about how easily I could re-order different glasses or lenses if I didn't like what I purchased. Instead of trying to "sell" me glasses, Jennifer took the approach of trying to figure out what was going to work best for me; which resulted in me purchasing two pairs of glasses. I do plan on returning and will recommend Legacy eyecare moving forward."

Ok… first of all, stop looking at me like that.
Yea, I can see that crazy look on your face. But it's me. The same person that brought you amazing Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls and Perfect Lemon Pound Cake. We trust each other. We have an understanding. Just go with me on this.
Something about hot summer weather gets me to thinking (or melts my brain) and brings some strange recipes to the surface. Remember last year's Blueberry Ice Cream with Homemade Hot Fudge? Yea… I got a few strange looks for that too.
Because I still see those raised eyebrows on your face, let me tell you a little about this beast of a cake. Believe me, I was super skeptical too.
The vegan chocolate cake is dense and moist, and everything you might want from a chocolate cake minus the eggs and butter. The fat in the cake is almond oil (or anything you have on hand) and one whole mashed avocado. It's lovely, and I didn't taste a lick of avocado in the cake.
The avocado buttercream is a dash more strange. Yes, it's bright green. Yes, the only fat in the buttercream is avocado meat. It's sweet with slight hints of citrus. I had my doubts, but when combined with the chocolate cake… holy wow! It actually worked! It was honest-to-goodness delicious! Not to mention vegan and full of healthy fats!
Your thoughts? Have I scared you off?
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Avocado
makes 2 8-inch rounds or 2 thinner 9-inch rounds
from Vegetarian in the Middle East
3 cups all-purpose flour
6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used almond oil)
1/2 cup soft avocado, well mashed, about 1 medium avocado
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch rounds. Set aside.
Sift together all of the dry ingredients except the sugar. Set that aside too.
Mix all the wet ingredients together in a bowl, including the super mashed avocado.
Add sugar into the wet mix and stir.
Mix the wet with the dry all at once, and beat with a whisk (by hand) until smooth.
Pour batter into a greased cake tins. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cakes cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks to cool completely before frosting with avocado buttercream.
Avocado Buttercream Frosting
from Alton Brown
8 ounces of avocado meat, about 2 small to medium, very ripe avocados
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pound powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peel and pit the soft avocados. It's important to use the ripest avocados you can get your hands on. If the avocados have brown spots in the meat, avoid those spots when you scoop the meat into the bowl.
Place the avocado meat into the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment. Add lemon juice and whisk the avocado on medium speed, until slightly lightened in color and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and beat. Add vanilla extract until combined. If not using right away, store in the refrigerator. Don't worry. It won't turn brown!

i think it looks awesome. IT would be a great cake to make for St. Patricks day or halloween :)
this looks beautiful, Joy!
While reading this, I'm hearing the line from The Christmas Story…"I triple dog dare ya!"
I am intrigued and will definitely make it!
I made the smores brownies this weekend and they were DELISH!
This is a whole new level! Maybe it's because the colors look so beautiful together, but I want to make this right now, this very moment. Me: Ms. Boss, can I go home early? I have an emergency. Boss: Hmmm…what kind of emergency? Me: Ummmm…
I always get teased for incorporating avocado in everything. I think this might push my boyfriend over the edge, but I'm ok with it.
Wow…That sounds awesome. And also like something that my grandmother would eat and get some nutrition out of.
Fabulous recipe! I have actually made this before and it was simply delightful! Good Pick you truly have good taste!
Wow. There are no words. This combines my two most favourite things on the planet. Chocolate. Avocado. Thank you!
OK, almond oil sounds good. But I'm still not convinced.
How about a photo showing you take a bite? ;-)
Ok, I have to admit, the look on my face lasted until I was finished reading the post. NOW, I want some Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake!! Definitely have to make an attempt at this! Go Joy The Baker! Woo!
haven't scared me one bit! Thank you for posting a vegan option… I may be the only one, but I say "keep 'em coming"! And, I can imagine this tastes good… it's like the first time someone tries avocado ice cream…freaked out and then wonder where has it been your whole life… or maybe that is just me? ;-)
Love this!
TOTALLY NOT scared off… i'm going to make this over the weekend!
Yes, I was looking at you like that…. and asking Wahhhhhhhht????
Wow, Vegan….I have no words….

By Sarah Maloy and Hugh McIntyre
With Adam Levine joining "American Horror Story," Miley Cyrus appearing on "Two and a Half Men," and Justin Bieber swinging by for a cameo on "The Simpsons," this fall TV season is going to be overwhelmed with musicians. Even Adam Lambert is returning to television -- for the "Pretty Little Liars" Halloween special -- and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody will be showing up on the next "Game of Thrones" season.
In honor of a fall schedule filled with music and TV crossovers, we've put together a list of the most painful small screen transitions that musicians have ever made. From Pete Wentz's time on "One Tree Hill," to Usher's minute on "Sabrina," to Britney Spears' one-off on "Glee," here are the 15 musical cameos that go down in history as TV's worst.
Katy Perry - "How I Met Your Mother"
"How I Met Your Mother" has had several entertaining, perfectly-timed cameos over its seven seasons. But Katy Perry's appearance, as the ditzy-but-pretty "Honey" whose real name Ted couldn't seem to remember, was not one of them. Her portrayal as a gullible (or "dumb," as Neil Patrick Harris put it) blind date for Ted -- who later found herself in Barney's bedroom -- bordered on annoying, and the cast's constant repetition of "Oh, Honey" every time Perry opened her mouth was too much to handle.
Usher - "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"
When Sabrina wanted to tell her boyfriend "I love you," who did she go to for help? Usher, a.k.a. "The Love Doctor," of course. The singer's few lines made us laugh (and cringe), but luckily the mood wasn't completely ruined -- Usher closed out the scene by doing what he does best, crooning with a trio of backup singers (who dressed up as sexy nurses… just because they could).
Pete Wentz - "One Tree Hill"
All of Fall Out Boy guest starred on the third season of "One Tree Hill," but it was Pete Wentz's multi-episode arc as Peyton's rockstar love interest that goes down in history as one of TV's worst cameos. Whether he was putting on his makeup alongside the ladies of Tree Hill or looking emo as a Fall Out Boy song played in the background, Pete's cameo felt forced and awkward. It's a toss-up which part of the episode was more hilarious: when Peyton called Pete a "famous rockstar" or when she quoted his "Pros and Cons of Breathing" lyrics before they started making out. The break-up came after a few episodes -- including one titled "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" -- and "One Tree Hill" returned to the angst-ridden teen drama that would last for nine seasons.
Nick Jonas - "Smash"
The youngest JoBro's performance of Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet" was one of the season's musical highlights, but his acting (and affected accent) was a flop. Nick Jonas' cameo didn't fit into the season's storyline, and he was forced into too many scenes: giving financial advice, hitting on the show's blonde bombshell lead, acting like a spoiled celebrity teen. We're glad the Jonas Brothers have been working on a new album -- they're better off in the studio than on the small screen.
Lance Bass - "7th Heaven"
'N Sync's Lance Bass had a short role on the 4th season of "7th Heaven," guest starring as Rick Palmer, Lucy Camden's short-term love interest and blind date. Watching Bass' uncomfortable, lackluster performance was painful in 2000, but now it's just funny. Plus we finally understand why he and Lucy never made a convincing couple all those years ago...
NEXT: Chris Brown, Jennifer Lopez, Aaron Carter and More

Wintertime Salad | Bon Appétit
Seasonal eating recommends salads when it's warm, and warming vegetables when it's cold. I tend to follow these rules and leave my beloved salads behind when it starts to cool down, and then revisit them in the spring. This grain based, wintertime salad is a great way to capitalize on seasonal foods and keep a salad in the mix. It would also be a gorgeous holiday side dish.

County Executive Leopold Posthumously and Honorarily Promotes County Police Officer
Annapolis (February 19, 2008) - In honor of Corporal Frank Anthony Spadaro's tireless work ethic and his devotion to the Anne Arundel County Police Department, County Executive John R. Leopold will posthumously and honorarily promote Spadaro to the rank of Police Sergeant tomorrow. Spadaro, 45, died of natural causes at his home on February 12.
"Anne Arundel County is fortunate to have a cadre of talented and outstanding officers who routinely go above and beyond the call of duty," said County Executive Leopold. "It is my honor to salute and acknowledge the outstanding service of Corporal Spadaro."
Corporal Spadaro started with the Anne Arundel County Police Department in 1994 after serving eight years as an officer with the Baltimore County Police Department. During his tenure with the Anne Arundel County Police Department he was honored several times for his dedication and commitment to the citizens of Anne Arundel County.
"Frank Spadaro exhibited a passion for helping others to assist those in need," said Police Chief Colonel James Teare. "He was steadfast in his dedication to professionalism and was well-liked and respected by members of the Police Department and will be sorely missed. He will always remain in our memories as a dedicated member of the Anne Arundel County Police Department."
A highly decorated officer and widely recognized in the community, in 1999, Spadaro was nominated as the Baltimore Sun Police Officer of the Year. In 1999 he was also nominated for the Maryland Law Enforcement Officer's Distinguished Service Award. In 2004, Detective Spadaro received the Department's Unit Citation Award for his work as a member of the Western District Problem Oriented Policing Section.
A devoted husband and father, Spadaro leaves behind his wife, Mary, and their two sons, Frank and Andrew.
A viewing will be held today from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Singleton Funeral Home located at 1 Second Ave. SW in Glen Burnie and funeral services will be held tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church located at 7436 B& A Blvd. in Glen Burnie. Interment will immediately follow at Glen Haven Memorial Park.

About the work
Beautiful Inside My Head Forever poster by Damien Hirst. Printed at the time of Hirst's widely acclaimed auction at Sotheby's in 2008, this celebrates the unprecedented success of the event. Litho print. Unlimited edition.
About the artist
Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated 'Freeze', an exhibition of his own work and that of his contemporaries at Goldsmiths college, staged in a disused London warehouse. Since this time Hirst has become widely recognized as one of the most influential artists of his generation. Through a varied practice of installation, sculpture, painting and drawing Hirst has sought to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death. Alongside over 80 solo exhibitions he has worked on numerous curatorial projects. In 2008, Hirst took the unprecedented step of bypassing gallery involvement in selling 244 new works at a Sotheby's, London auction entitled 'Beautiful Inside My Head Forever'. Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995 and his contribution to British art over the last two and a half decades has been acknowledged in a major solo retrospective currently being exhibited at Tate Modern, London. He lives in Devon and has studios in Gloucester and London. For more information on the artist, please visit damienhirst.com. Text © Damien Hirst & Science Ltd., All rights reserved, 2012

Wandering throughout Thailand
By Talen on Dec 8, 2009 in Commentary
When I'm in Thailand I become a different person than I am in The U.S. I become more of an explorer and while I'm not discovering new lands or people I am discovering more of myself and the Thailand that I have grown to love. Thailand isn't perfect by any means but it's so far off the beaten track in terms of cultural differences of what I know that it seems like it could be perfect.
I think we all find something in our lives that bring on such feelings at one time or another, it's what shapes us and makes us who we are. It's not so much the destination or that perfect sunset picture but the journey that led to it. I become a nomad of sorts when the plane touches down in Bangkok, wandering from place to place searching for something more, something else. The best part is that I am a digital nomad so I can take pictures and share my journey with anyone that wants to come along.
In 2007 I sent pictures home daily to my brother who printed them out to show to my mother, who was otherwise worried about her youngest son being on his own in Thailand for an extended stay. Mom passed away last December, but not before showing me a large folder with all the printed out pictures and emails I had sent over 5 weeks while I was in Thailand. They meant something to her because Thailand meant something to me. A year on and her laugh is still dearly missed.
It's the little things that are most important, like the folder of my journey that my Mom kept or the fact that I have it now and even though I lived through the journey this folder means more to me than the journey itself…because it meant something to her.
No matter where you are in life, take pictures and make memories that you can share with those you love. And remember to keep an eye out for those little things because they are often the things that hold the most meaning although we sometimes overlook them.

Wordtracker has launched "Keyword Questions," a free tool that let's webmasters and SEOs find the specific questions that people type into search engines. The answers to these questions can provide interesting web copy and could pick up a lot of search traffic.
"People have a ton of questions about all sorts of things and people will go straight to a search engine to find the answers," according to Ken McGaffin, Chief Marketing Officer of Wordtracker. "Just enter a keyword and we'll give you up to 100 questions that people have asked."
The tool works by pairing the keyword with one of six question words: Who, what, where, when, why and how. It then conducts a broad match from Wordtracker's database.
For example, someone with a coffee website, could enter "coffee" and find questions like "who invented the coffee maker", "why use cold water when brewing coffee", "how to make iced coffee" and "how to clean a coffee pot".
Or, a flower shop could enter "sorry" and find questions like "how to say sorry to your girlfriend" or "how to say sorry after huge argument." Hey, this is just an example. I'm happily married.
Or, a website on UFOs might be interested to know that the most popular questions on UFOs include "how to fake UFO photographs" or "how to build a UFO." Sorry, the tool doesn't suggest, "Where is Area 51."
"This is a fun tool that is a great source of inspiration for web content writers," McGaffin said in a press release. "You need never be short of creative ideas again."
I interviewed Ken at Search Engene Strategies London 2008 in February. And he shared some of the latest trends of search term research back then. And I expect to see him again at SES London this coming February 17-19, 2009, to get an update.

Other FSC Learning Locations
Going the extra mile
On the seventh of May this year, tutors Sarah Etherington and Michelle Savage along with Jonothan Oldham (from Flatford Mill Field Centre) boarded a plane to Astana in Kazakhstan to spend two weeks teaching preparatory university students Ecology. Read on to find out more about their adventures.
The trip was part of an ongoing project in partnership with University College London and Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan. This project is now in its second of five years and aims to introduce ecology and fieldwork skills to Kazakhstan's future scientists.
Having declared independence from the USSR in 1991, Kazakhstan is a new country with great prospects due to its wealth of natural resources, including oil, coal and precious metals. This opens doors to future development which needs to be undertaken with awareness of environmental issues and the importance of conserving the natural landscape.
Much of Kazakhstan consists of Steppe, a fragile habitat supporting many unique plant and animal species; including Pulsatilla flavescens and the Saiga antelope. This makes it all the more important to introduce a culture of conservation while this habitat is relatively undamaged.
Kazakh students doing fieldwork
Each group of around sixty students attended a five day field course in the Burabay National Nature Park in the Akmola region in the north east of Kazakhstan.
Students spent three and a half days learning fieldwork techniques. This involved studying a lake edge, comparing a woodland and grassland ecosystem and surveying water quality and invertebrate biodiversity in two lakes. They also learnt basic skills such as plant identification, use of quadrats, field sketching and terrestrial invertebrate sampling. Data collected was analysed using statistical tests and the students also heard a lecture by local park employees from the conservation department. This sparked a lively debate during which students made suggestions relating to raising the parks profile and public awareness of environmental issues.
The final day and a half was spent putting their newly learned skills into practice by planning, carrying out and presenting their own investigation in small groups.
"The students learnt a huge amount in a short amount of time and it was clear that their environmental understanding had increased. One student said that she was now thinking of pursuing a career in conservation which is fantastic!" Said Sarah.
Staff from the Nazerbayev University also enjoyed their experience:
"It was one of the most interesting fieldworks I have ever experienced. FSC staff provided informative and comprehensible knowledge about the surrounding habitats of Burabay National Park. They organised a convenient program for all of the students covering everything from woodland investigation to comparing two lakes. Looking forward to meeting them again in the next academic year". Yeldar Baiken Teaching assistant, Nazarbayev University.
Sarah and Michelle would especially like to thank Richard Dawson and Janet Jones at FSC head office for overseeing and organising the trip; Jonathan Oldham for sharing his experience and knowledge; all the staff and teaching assistants from Nazerbayev University; ecologist Til Dietrich for his invaluable help in identifying plant and animal species and all the staff at Epping Forest for enabling them to go.
Epping Forest Field Centre staff are committed to sharing their knowledge and expertise as widely as possible and also learning from variety of experiences to ensure that we always remain at the leading edge of environmental learning outside of the classroom.

This is in answer to the Dec. 6 letter, "Let's give Big Government credit where credit is due."
I fail to see the comparison between building the building of the atomic bomb and the Affordable Care Act. I believe The atomic bomb was built while Harry Truman was president, that was about 70 years ago - and, yes, it worked. We are now in 2013, and The Affordable Care Act is neither affordable nor functional. does it work.
I'll mention other things Big Government also mismanaged can't manage, such as Social Security, which is going bankrupt, and Big Government also put us so deep into debt that our children and grandchildren will be burdened with that debt. The United States is not the great country it once was. We have become the laughing stock of some of our close allies. What exactly has the current administration's Big Government accomplished?
It really is disappointing to read letters written by ignorant people.

Jack-o-Lanterns: Masterpieces
Some of the coolest you'll ever see…
Halloween is a holiday rife with tradition. Most holidays offer different venues for creativity, but few so much as All Hallow's Eve. From the lengthy process of picking out your costume to how to decorate, the possibilities are endless. But perhaps the greatest way the holiday affords creativity is with the carving of pumpkins.
Pumpkin carving has strayed from its roots. (click here to see the Jack-o-lanterns's origin) It is now about artistry more than anything; but such artistry it inspires. Let's look at some of the most amazing pumpkin carvings ever done…
This is the handiwork of master pumpkin carver Ray Villafane. The Predator may very well be scarier here than it was in the movie.
If this doesn't get a 'Wow'out of you, nothing will. It takes the art of carving to an entirely different place, doesn't it? The giant squid does exist. And it's in Illinois.
Halloween isn't that big a deal for nerds; hell, they dress up as Jedi every weekend. But here's a nerd who took the season to heart. Who needs CGI?
I'll admit, this one creeped me out. You kind of have to wonder if the person who carved this is all there.
As far as I'm concerned, this is, without a doubt, the coolest jack-o-lantern in the history of pumpkins. Not only is it Jack… and everything about Jack is cool… but it's Jack in the creepiest scene in movie history. This is the carving all other carvings strive to be.
Another nerd masterpiece. Not the most amazing design, but the the effect lit up is just sweet.
Again, not the most technically sound jack, brt the impact value makes it a classic.
Are you kidding me? The Parthenon? This one almost makes you embarrased to put your little scary face pumpkin out.
The Mona Lisa? Makes you wonder why this guy is wasting his time carving up vegetables.
So now it's hard to go back to this…
But fear not… here are a few places you can go to learn how to… well… almost do what these guys did. Happy Halloween!
