With my DDs it was easy to put them in the Maya sling in the cross-cradle hold and nurse them to sleep. Sometimes I'd sway or walk with them, but they were usually fine once they got to sleep and I used this position with the Maya sling pretty easily til they were toddlers. DS, OTOH, prefers me to walk and walk and never sit still when he's in the sling, and even then, he sometimes arches his back when I try to nurse him in it. This usually happens when he chokes on milk (I have an overactive let-down reflex that really bothers him), and I have found if I position him slightly more upright, he's happier. Problem is, it's killing my back and shoulders, and he's only 2 months old! I know how to wear the Maya sling, so I know I'm not just goofing it up. I think the problem is just that I'm very petite and short-waisted. I am only 5' 1.5" (and most of that height is in my legs, not my torso) and about 115lbs and my breasts have sagged a little over the years so I have to position DS's legs and bum below my hipbone in the more upright position in order for him to lined up to latch on. This is below my center of mass and so I think it tends to strain my back muscles as they attempt to compensate for the way the weight is distributed.
Now, DS is off the charts for height (DH is very tall), so there's a lot of length of baby to try to fit, but still, he's just a couple months old and if this is hurting me already, I don't know how I'll manage as he gets bigger! I'm wondering if there's a better carrier/sling/wrap for short-waisted moms, especially for nursing while babywearing (and not necessarily in a cradle hold)...

Sorry for the vocab nazi-ism but I see this one very frequently and it's finally pushed me over the edge.
It's toe the line. As in "conforming to the order of things by putting your toes on the line like everyone else".
How does "tow the line" make sense? Is fishing somehow conformist?
He must've been trolling...

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/03/14 -- Procon Holdings (Alberta) Inc. ("Procon"), of Suite 108 - 4664 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby, British Columbia, reports that on February 27, 2014 Procon and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Procon Resources Inc., entered into a debenture amending agreement with Lincoln Mining Corporation ("Lincoln") which amended the convertible debenture in the principal amount of $2,300,000 issued by Lincoln to Procon on November 22, 2012 (the "Debenture") by eliminating Procon's conversion right and providing Lincoln with the right to prepay the Debenture at any time. Procon also reports that on February 28, 2014 Procon disposed of its ownership and control of 46,000,000 common shares of Lincoln to Mr. Ron Netolitzky through a private transaction at a price of $0.01127 per share, the Debenture was fully paid out and discharged, and Procon's four nominees on the board of directors of Lincoln resigned. As a result, Procon no longer has ownership or control of any common shares or debentures of Lincoln.
This news release is issued pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take Over Bids and Insider Reporting Issues in connection with an early warning report filed by Procon earlier today (the "Report").

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Y...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Welcome to the Coral Reefs' Survival's website !
Earth's Global Warming caused by CO2 accumulation, released into the atmosphere by human beings, is a known fact, and the IPCC is developing great effort for an agreement of governments to the limitation, stabilization and reversal of this imbalance.
The consequence for the seas, has been the marine habitat's deterioration, which has caused the average loss of 50% of Earth's coral cover and scientists are warning to corals probable extinction until 2050, with serious consequence for marine biodiversity and socioeconomic balance of all who live in coastal regions.
Corals loss currently have ranged between 20% to 90% dependind on the region, we believe that many sites will reach total loss of corals, before that deadline, seeing that the Kyoto agreement had little effect and a new agreement is only expected for 2020.
We introduce here a solution which harmonizes and creates an energetically balanced environment, able to protect the corals from the harmful Global Warming effects and to improve their resistance's, tolerance's and resilience's ability.
The rapid implentation of this solution on a large scale can help block the extinction of corals, expected until 2050, giving more time for the society and governments to deploy measures that allow stabilize and reverse global climate imbalance.
I have skills and personal "spiritual gifts" that allow me to create large harmonized marine regions, with the neutralization of all consequences caused by Global Warming. Bringing conditions for life to flow and resist to the stress that currently generates corals bleaching. Learn more at environmental harmonization and the details presented on this site.
Since January/2009 we are developing the harmonization in the marine environment, in order to help preserve the corals and all marine life. By visual observation we have identified excelente improvement on benthic cover and marine life, no new bleaching occurrences. More details at historical and harmonizations.
To continue this work at the speed ,required for the Earth's corals, we are looking to partner with organizations that are attuned to the same goal of saving the corals and marine life. Our aim are to add to your projects, our ability to definitively eliminate the coral's bleaching threat.
We have at our disposal the energetic solution of environmental harmonization for the preservation of the corals in large regions, which we have done in Brazil, on its own initiative, within the limits of our resources.
We believe that the partnership is the best way to gain synergy and to make feasible the energetic harmonization to the most important coralline regions, for the survival of corals and marine life in Brazil and in Earth.
Collaborate!, so we can in a joint effort save the corals and marine life of the impacts caused by Global Warming.
We are also interested in receiving information which might allow the identification and prioritization of regions that already have protection initiatives and conservation of corals and marine life.
You can also help us disseminating our site and the solution that we present through the means available to you, so that we can reach the most quantity of people attuned with the conservation of corals. Grateful for this help!.
Those who are interested in a partnership, please, contact us by email for exchange more information and analyse some project feasibility.

For a team that needs good news - any good news - the return of Timberwolves forward Mark Madsen was welcomed.
Madsen made his season debut Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who beat Minnesota 97-86 behind LeBron James' 45 points. Madsen's optimism and high energy are intangibles that can only help a team that started the season 1-7. As for the state of his game, Madsen said his conditioning is pretty good after a couple weeks of practice.
Madsen isn't expected to produce big statistics, but his presence could be valuable for the Wolves, who have been without injured center Theo Ratliff.
"I hope I can add something," Madsen said before the game. "We haven't had as many wins as we'd like. I look at all the guys out there, and they've been giving their blood, sweat and tears. My goal is to join that and hopefully add my contribution."
Madsen passed a fitness test Tuesday that gauged his strength and range of motion. Before Wednesday, he hadn't played in a game since he underwent surgery in August to repair the right pectoral muscle in his shoulder. He was injured in an incident on a personal watercraft last summer.
Coach Randy Wittman said Madsen would be on the active list for the game and might play, depending on the situation.
Wittman said he expects plenty of energy from Madsen as well as Michael Doleac, who started at center in place of Ratliff.
"That's who Mark is," Wittman said before the game.
Doleac did a good job of not letting 7-foot-3 Cavs center Zydrunas Ilgauskas get off to a good start, Wittman said after the game. Madsen also helped frustrate Ilgauskas, who finished with nine points and 10 rebounds.
Ratliff did not attend the game; he was in Birmingham, Ala., for a scheduled meeting with Dr. James Andrews regarding his sore right knee.
Briefly: Cleveland's LeBron James said he doesn't think it's weird that Kevin Garnett isn't a Wolf anymore. But he acknowledged that it must be an adjustment for the fans.
"Not for us, it's more (weird) for the city. This has been a franchise that K.G. loved for a long time," James said. "It's different for them when they go out to games and No. 21 is not wearing a Timberwolves jersey. It's different for them."
-- The Wolves finished a four-game homestand Wednesday night. During the first three games, Wolves opponents attempted an average of just 17 free throws. That was a significant decrease from the production opponents enjoyed at the line earlier in the season.
-- Wolves rookie Corey Brewer did not enter Wednesday's game until late in the third quarter because he missed the morning shootaround, Wittman said.
-- Point guard Sebastian Telfair is expected to rejoin the Wolves on Friday in Denver. He wasn't with the team Wednesday because of a death in his family.

Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser is a very simple, fragrance-free cleansing lotion for dry skin. It poses no risk of irritating skin unless you know you're sensitive to one of the ingredients it contains, and it does a decent job of removing most types of makeup.

I have been using this product for several years and it is fabulous. That's pretty strong praise for a cleanser, but I have sensitive and somewhat dry skin and have found it to be creamy, gentle and non-irritating. Besides that it does a great job cleaning my skin. I use it every night and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I highly recommend you give it a try.

I used this cleanser for a short while, but I think my face felt a bit drier and tighter after I washed it off, and it started to sting and itch a bit. I think I have a combination skin, it's often oily, and I have lots of whiteheads. I've read that those with combination skin should use a gel or foam cleansers, but I personally don't use skin care products because I don't want to put chemicals on my face, and if I do use skin care products, I want to use as little as possible. Only a cleanser.

Broke me out
By Anonymous
It's has a light lotion feel to it, similar to Cetaphyl and other non-soap cleansers, that leaves a film or residue on your skin , if you don't rinse it. Don't get me wrong. My skin felt nice after I used Dermo Cleanser, but something on it clogged my pores very badly. If I rinsed it, the reaction was a bit smaller, but still made me break out.If I had not reacted to it, I would have continued using it. I love their Toleriane Fuid moisturizer & their Anthelios Mineral 50 spf sunscreen.
By Deina
Not what it once was
For years this was my absolute favourite cleanser and makeup remover. However, I have found in the last couple of years that the product is thinner and runnier and it doesn't clean as well as it used to. Also, the bottle is never filled to the top anymore. I have gone back to my old favourite, Clinique's Gentle Creme Cleanser; nothing beats that for me.
Double cleansing? or Water soluble?
By TG Nam
Should I use another cleanser, like a form cleanser, to remove a spf30+ foundation?Is this water-soluble product?
Beautypedia Team Response:Hi there! This cleanser should remove foundation fairly well, whether it has sunscreen or not. Try applying the cleanser to dry skin, massage in circular motions, and then rinse. You may also need to use a washcloth. Test how well it removes your foundation by going over your cheeks and forehead with a cotton pad soaked in a regular liquid makeup remover (Almay, Neutrogena, and L'Oreal have good ones). -Beautypedia Team
Can I use this while using RetinA?
Beautypedia Team Response:Any gentle cleanser (without irritants) such as this one should be just fine to use with it. :) -Beautypedia Team

Beautiful cleanser. Saved my skin. Can't recommend highly enough. Even Kiehls Ultra Cleanser and Cetaphil irritated my skin, that's how sensitive my skin is.
Staple in My Skin Care Ritual
I have been using this FRAGRANCE FREE formula for many, many years. My skin tends to be sensitive and responds positively to this cleanser. It massages easily onto the face, removes all traces of makeup and sweat. Leaves skin soft, hydrated yet feeling clean. I use this product in the evening.
Have found this effectivel for Rosacea
By Angela C.
Discovered this cleanser after a particularly bad rosacea and acne flare up 3 years ago and have used it most of the time ever since. The fluid texture effectively removes makeup and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and calm. I have quite oily skin and this cleanser leaves no residue. This has even been effective for occasional oily skin flare-ups and breakouts.
A gentle wipe-off cleanser that removes makeup without the risk of irritation.

La Roche-Posay At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few good cleansers; anti-aging formulas tend to be stably packaged to get the most out of the air/light-sensitive ingredients; many fragrance-free options; a unique lip moisturizer; some praiseworthy specialty products.
Weaknesses: Some problematic, overly irritating exfoliants; several ho-hum moisturizers and sunscreens; ineffective skin-lighteners; disappointing toner.
L'Oreal-owned La Roche-Posay has a pharmaceutical lineage based in France, and the company speaks of their thermal spring water as the cornerstone of their commitment to dermatological skin care. Sound familiar? L'Oreal-owned Biotherm makes similar claims for the water in their products, yet their marketing niche is spas, while La Roche-Posay caters to doctors and consumers interested in effective, no-frills skin care. Regardless of the source of their water, or how many minerals there may be in it, or the other benefits they assert it has, water is water and skin can't tell the difference. Even if the water were somehow "special," it takes a lot more than water to create and maintain healthy skin. This is something La Roche-Posay is aware of, because they do offer a fairly broad range of products to address the various needs of skin.
Their thermal spring water is said to be a rich source of selenium. Selenium is a nonmetallic element that has potent antioxidant ability. However, almost all of the research surrounding its benefits pertains to dietary or supplemental consumption, not to topical application. According to the research, selenium is absorbed into skin and helpful when applied topically only when applied as l-selenomethionine (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, July 2004, pages 149–155). It is unknown whether the water La Roche-Posay uses contains this form of selenium, but we wouldn't bank on it for a unique benefit.
For a dermatologist-oriented line like La Roche-Posay, most of the products are surprisingly devoid of state-of-the-art or other interesting ingredients. There are some standout products, such as those with retinol and stabilized vitamin C; however, most of them are one-note options that offer the help of their promoted ingredient but don't commingle it with anything else of value to skin. It's ironic that although there's not a jar package to be found in this line, most of the moisturizers lack light- or air-sensitive ingredients, so jar packaging actually wouldn't be a problem. In fact, most of the moisturizers are downright monotonous. For the money, these products will leave your skin wanting more.
If you steer your way to the well-formulated products La Roche-Posay offers, you will find some first-rate options. They're not as varied as what many other lines offer, but for a pragmatic, no-frills approach to serious skin care, they'll do just fine. In fact, among all of the L'Oreal-owned skin-care lines, La Roche-Posay comes closest to successfully competing with the best of the best. It's up to you to decide if "close" is good enough. However, if you need to avoid fragrance and a range of potentially irritating plant extracts prevalent in the products of many brands, this line may suit your skin to a T.
Note: La Roche-Posay is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although La Roche-Posay does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Fairs & Festivals 2010
From traditional county fairs and innovative theater performances to music of all types, these 20 local events help put the fun in summer
(page 3 of 6)
Mountain Jam Music Festival
Hunter Mountain, June 4-6
In just six short years, WDST-Radio Woodstock's Mountain Jam has grown from a one-day event with four performing groups to a three-day super fest with 50 musical acts. Last year's event drew approximately 12,000 people each day — quite a substantial increase from the original 3,000 participants. And this year, festival founder Gary Chetkof anticipates similar attendance.
"Word on the street is it's a very cool, diverse lineup," Chetkof says of the festival's 2010 program, for which he can largely take credit. "Booking a 50-act festival is kind of like being a chef — you have to have the right ingredients, the right variety, the right flavors." This particular menu has something for every taste; there's a well-rounded sampling of today's music, from seasoned performers to up-and-comers, representing genres from blues to folk to Hassidic reggae pop.
» Flash back to Mountain Jam's 40th anniversary
What has made Mountain Jam one of the year's most anticipated festivals may be the same sort of cutting-edge musical style that has for years set WDST apart from the rest. "The radio station has always championed the emerging artist. But the reality of being in this business and trying to appeal to a wide audience — you have to present the emerging artist with the established," explains Chetkof matter-of-factly. So in addition to such fresh talent as Company of Thieves, One eskimO, and the Avett Brothers, this year's program includes heavy-hitters like Toots and the Maytals; festival partner Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule; Alison Krauss and Union Station; and Derek Trucks with his wife Susan Tedeschi. A special 70th birthday tribute to Levon Helm will feature such artists as Steve Earle, Jackie Greene, Ray LaMontagne, and Patterson and David Hood of Drive-By Truckers. And of course, homegrown talent is amply represented as well. "One of the reasons we went to 50 bands — there are so many great bands out there and so many locals, so we just added another stage," says Chetkof. Among the Valley's own are Simone Felice and his new project, The Duke and The King; Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams; 14-year-old blues guitar prodigy Mojo Myles Mancuso; and jam band IS.

Jammin' Jon's Island BBQ: Mostly Take Out
We read an article in the local paper about the opening of this new take out place. I like food with a Caribbean flair so we decided to check the place out. There are only 4 or 5 stools at a counter inside but there are 6 or so covered picnic table around back. While we were eating, it seamed that may locals call ahead and then come later to pick the food up. They offer briskets, pulled pork, stuffed potatoes and clam fritters. I had the Crab Daddy burger with a side of Plantains, the Shark bites and a Mango Slushie and I was stuffed.

I have a Schwinn S30 (bought 1999) and it needs a new bottom bracket. It feels a bit rough as its turned and has much more resistance than it should. Unfortunately I'm not sure which bottom bracket it needs and I also need to buy the tools for the job. How can I find out which one it needs before buying the tools? I've tried the Schwinn website but unless i'm looking in the wrong place I don't see any info about components. I can see the bolts although I haven't removed them. I'm assuming its square tapered but you know where assumptions lead.
The bolts can be taken out with a regular socket wrench, correct?
Thanks, I've read up on the topic but I need to get some grease on my hands to really understand it.

Allegiant Air adds flights from Stewart to Tampa Bay
Allegiant Air is running its twice-weekly schedule of flights between Stewart International Airport and Tampa Bay, Fla.
The low-fare carrier opened Thursday, linking the mid-Hudson airport with Florida's St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport.
Airline, airport and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials hailed the first addition of a new airline at Stewart in years.
Andrew C. Levy, Allegiant Travel Co. president, said in a release, "We are confident the community will appreciate the convenience of flying nonstop to Tampa Bay and the value of bundling their air, hotel and car rental reservation together through us." Bookings are through www.Allegiant.com or by calling 702-505-8888.
Thursday marked a return of the airline to Stewart. In October 2005, Allegiant began flying from Stewart to Orlando, Fla., and ceased in January 2007. It cited escalating competitive conditions.

Raid Jahan is just beautiful. Tucked away in the alleys of the medina, yet close to the main square & some excellent restaurants & cafes. I booked through the website & was provided with a wealth of local information, including good restaurants & sightseeing. We felt really lucky to have the 5 bedroom riad to ourselves for 5 nights. It felt homely and private, although there was always someone on hand if we wanted to book a restaurant or order a drink. The roof terrace is great for lounging about in the sun or shade. There's a cold dipping pool in the courtyard, which is really refreshing if you can handle it. The lounge has a flatscreen tv & loads of DVDs & books about Moroccan art, interiors & history. It's an all round lovely place to stay with lovely people to look after you & some great restaurants nearby. Ten out of ten!

Those of you who know me well know I call myself a "lifehacker" which basically means I hack & use technology to be as efficient as possible. For example, I strongly recommend that those who are in front of computers all day learn to play them like instruments.
I've had people ask me how I use technology to be efficient when I'm in sales mode (which, really, any entrepreneur is most of the time). Here's a screenshot of what my email client looks like, with the tools I rely on below that:
Rapportive: This Gmail Plugin is an absolute necessity for anyone even remotely in a sales type of role. It lets you learn about the person you're emailing with, and connect with them via LinkedIn right from the email client. It also lets you manage their Highrise CRM profile without having to go to Highrise, which is a godsend. I can't recommend Rapportive highly enough.
Boomerang: Lets you schedule email to be sent later, but more importantly, will "boomerang" an email back to your inbox a specified amount of time after you've sent it. It's a great way to have a soft reminder to follow up with someone. You can also have it only boomerang the email back to you if the person you're emailing doesn't respond.
I can go into more detail on how I use these services (and especially how I use Rapportive to create tags in Highrise right from the email, which I then export to Mailchimp for monthly marketing newsletter blasts) if you'd like. Just make a comment below asking for whatever detail you'd like me to delve into. If I get enough interest, I'll spend the time to do a more in-depth demo.
Love to see how to make Highrise work better with gmail. I like highrise, but can't seem to stick with it as I've used gmail for so many years making due.
Also, what is the twitter widget you use?
Ben, the trick is to use Rapportive. Rapportive lets you ad people to Highrise without having to actually open Highrise. You can then tag them right from the Rapplet. Not having to mouse over to Highrise every time I want to take an action is a godsend.
Also by using Highrise's "dropbox" feature you can copy your emails to the contact notes in Highrise. I use Gmail Auto BCC from Jaidev: jaidev.info/home/hacks/gmailAutoBcc so that my Highrise dropbox email address is automatically pasted in (some limitations but works pretty well)
If I get a few more people asking for details, I'll take the time to do a full screencast on all of it.
UPDATE 8/14: LinkedIn purchased Rapportive awhile back, and they just published an update that basically neutered its most awesome functionality, including Raplets (which connected Rapportive to Highrise, for example), and the other services someone was connected to. Here's a screenshot:
I'm testing other services out to see which might be viable alternatives to Rapportive... anyone have any opinions? So far on the list I have:
I'd love to hear people's opinions!!!
According to this article, Connect6 and Vibe both look good.
I've done some preliminary testing:
- Ark didn't have as much info on people as Rapportive or Rapporto.
- Rapporto doesn't play nicely with CirrusPath, the Salesforce extension I also use (it sits under it)
- Connect6 requires me to hover over the person's name in my gmail before it displays any info -- annoying.
- Vibe also doesn't play nicely with CirrusPath.
Ugh. No good options.
It is nice tool for Gmail and i am loving it.
Hey Daniel! I use several apps on your recommendation like Rapportive, YesWare, CloudApp, Hackpad etc etc. Thanks for making my life so much more easier! :)
Quick question - Rapportive support doesn't seem to be active. I and almost a dozen other people on Twitter are having trouble connecting our Twitter accounts (@SyedKazimRizvi). Any chance you know anyone in the company that could take a look for us?
Hey Daniel, Love your post, really interesting to see how you have created this workflow that really works for you!
I'd like to get your thoughts on unifyo.com, we're similar to Rapportive in that we give contact insights at the point of interacting/seeing contacts, but we work all over the web and not just inside Gmail. So whether you are in Linkedin, Highrise, Twitter, etc, you can see your contact's data and conversation histories from your email, CRM and other sources. We also work across the team, so everyone in your team will be up-to-date with your contacts and you'll know who knows who inside your organisation. It also means that you wouldn't need to BCC Highrise into every email you send, because Unifyo will give you the contact conversation history information wherever you go on the web.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Lewis, looks interesting. I tried signing up for it (which worked) but when I tried adding a second email address, I got this "something went wrong" error: http://drod.io/image/2i1m290V290c
Any ideas? I was trying to add my work Gmail email address using "imap.gmail.com" as the imap server.
Yeah just tried it again w/ these settings: http://drod.io/image/0K2I3l2O0e2g
No dice; same error.
And I connected Highrise successfully, but I see some type of error in the log: http://drod.io/image/0d2Q1Y2J2L2Q
Have you used Nimble or Capsule CRM? If so, I would love your thoughts on how they compare to HighRise.
Hey Daniel, We built a chrome extension to help with gmail's users to make the most of their Highrise CRM investment. You can log emails, create tasks, deals... directly from gmail. I'd love to get your feedback on it : http://insights.collabspot.com.
Jeremi, I checked the video out. Looks very promising. Does it work with Rapportive installed? It seems to use the same space on the right-hand side of Gmail.
It kind of does. For now, it goes under the rapportive widget (we load faster :) ). But one thing I'm thinking to do is to have a switch button so you could switch between the too plugins.
Hey Jeremi -- I just tried replying but my comment seems to have gotten lost:
I'll check it out -- people will likely have security concerns, as they're giving you access to sensitive data. How are you addressing these concerns?
OK cool I'll check it out. Also I'm sure people will have security concerns -- they're giving you access to very sensitive data. How are you making users feel comfortable with this?
Basically we don't store any data, even the highrise credential are stored in the extension and passed to our server when needed. The only thing we store is your email address and some information about what you do in the app (the actions, not the data) in order to improve it.
Finally, all the communications are done through SSL.
Cool, so I checked it out.
It's a cool concept, but honestly I'm not seeing a lot more than Rapportive gives me.
For example, I'll use my buddy Jeremy as a guinea pig:
Here's what I get from Rapportive: http://drod.io/image/2b3o2R0y3j1z
Here's what I get from Collabspot: http://drod.io/image/0c1q3l051h0o
(Also note a bug: Jermey has a bunch of tags but it looks like you're just pulling one)
So keep hacking on it... you might also want to meet Alexey, who runs Yoxel. Tell him I sent you. He's doing a bunch of cool stuff w/ Highrise.
Also Daniel, I don't think Rapportive give you possibility to send an email to Highrise or add the dropbox address in BCC.
Thanks Daniel for the feedback. This is weird that you don't get all the tags, I'm going to look into that. Could it be that you have 2 contacts for him ? I see that in Collabspot Insights he is called "Jeremy C" and in rapportive "Jeremy Caverly".
About the difference with Rapportive, I don't think you can see the deals and cases in Rapportive which is very important to some people. This extension is also very new, so we will keep improving it based on the feedback we get, while I'm not sure the Highrise raplet is changing much.
I think this 2 extensions will be complementary and we will work on making them work together.
Is there is anything you would like it to be doing that it's not doing yet ?
Hey Daniel,
We added the compatibility with rapportive, So now you can switch between the 2 extensions, and even with the gmail original one.
Agreed re: cases & deals. That's totally valuable.
In terms of what I'd like to see: Right now I use a very kludgy system where I sync specifically tagged Highrise contacts with Gmail using Yoxel, and then Exchange server on the iPhone to sync my Gmail contacts w/ my iPhone contact list. I then use WriteThatName to update Highrise with phone numbers from people's email signatures, which propagates out across all three databases.
It's all very fragile and prone to breakage, and I'd really like to see a more bulletproof system -- especially one that would let me us the native address book on the Mac, because as it stands today, there's no way for me to use it and still keep everything in sync.
For years, I've been tied to the native Mail.app mail client on Mac OS X. Disappointingly, it hasn't kept up with other OSX improvements, and has felt increasingly clunky. But the switching costs were very high, namely because of massive customization: I've been using MailTags, Mail Act-On, WideMail and other mail.app plugins.
But the imap connection between mail.app and google accounts hasn't been very reliable lately (supposedly a bug in Mac OSX 10.6) so I decided to switch to the web interface for my mail (something my co-founder and friend Isaac suggested i do years ago - I know Isaac, I know.).
This switch also lets me make use of the very cool Rapportive service, which automagically shows me a contact's LinkedIn & Twitter profiles, along with much more. Check it out, it's great, and they happen to be located right down the hall from us in SOMAcentral.
The first thing I did was enable a number of Google Labs features, including:
Then I went over to the "Accounts" tab and added in all my email accounts to be pulled as POP (too bad there's no IMAP option for this). So now I get personal email + AppMakr & PointAbout email all in one view. (All these email accounts are hosted on Google Apps, incidentally).

So now I get personal email + AppMakr & PointAbout email all in one view. (All these email accounts are hosted on Google Apps, incidentally). Since I use Highrise as my CRM, and I want every email to copy to Highrise, I've been accessing gmail through Firefox, and I installed the Greasemonkey script to auto BCC on every email (this way my work emails all get sent to Highrise via my Highrise dropbox ID). I wish this extension was available on Chrome. I've also been forcing myself to learn the Gmail keyboard shortcuts (must have "custom keyboard shortcuts" enabled). Among my : gi = "go to inbox" from another area of gmail *a = select all messages / = search c = compose [ and ] = archive and go to prev / next conversations p = previous message, n = next message x = select conversation e = archive conversation (so i use "x, then e" a lot) You can download a PDF of all the keyboard shortcuts here. I HIGHLY recommend forcing yourself to learn them - you'll be able to navigate through gmail much faster that way. I enabled Priority Inbox, which looks promising. The "Multiple Inboxes" works well - it provides me with two small inboxes above my main inbox for any drafts, and any starred emails. I also chose custom theme colors, and I uploaded a picture from my wedding as my gmail logo. After all, if I'm going to look at this page all day, I might as well like what I'm looking at, right? And who better than my wife? :) (screenshot below) Does anyone have any pro user tips & tricks? Specifically are there keyboard shortcuts to: add "cc" attach a file Please respond in the comments below with any tips & tricks you have!
Sue and I visited Hallmark RV today. I've been emailing back & forth with Matthew for months, asking him various question about Hallmark's campers, and I'd been scouring Hallmark's website, Facebook page and the forums relentlessly trying to learn as much as I could about their campers.
And what I thought to be true, is true: Hallmark is, hands-down, the absolute best pop-up camper value in the $20k to $40k price point.
I go more into that in my summary blog post, but if you're in the market and you're not sure which camper you want to get, I highly recommend you spend $500 and come to Colorado like we did to visit the factories of each camper manufacturer (Hallmark, Outfitter and Phoenix are within an hour of each other, as is EarthRoamer — although EarthRoamers are in an entirely different category and price point) — or just watch all of the videos we made, so you can get a really good feeling of the differences. The Hallmark facility was clean, organized and busy — a stark contrast to some of the other facilities.
In fact, if we hadn't visited XP Camper (which is located in northern California about an hour from Sacramento) prior to coming to Colorado, I'd be placing an order for a Hallmark Milner right now. XP Campers are designed differently from the ground up as compared to all other pop-up campers to be true expedition vehicles, and they're much more expensive — around $70k before options — so Sue and I have some thinking to do, which I go into in more detail in the summary blog post. But if you can't go above the $30k-ish price point and you only need a weekend camper, or a camper for trips that last a week or two max , then definitely get a Hallmark. If you want to research your options a bit more, read this full write-up titled "Our two-year journey choosing a pop-up camper."

MOUNT VERNON — Depressed economic times often create scenarios where individuals and organizations look to collect as much revenue as they can; at the same time, they look to keep more money in their pocket. Such a scenario has been created between the Mount Vernon School District and area taxpayers.
story from Joshua Morrison
12 Responses to "School, taxpayers at odds over appraisals"
I feel t he school treasurer needs to do her job and let the county auditor do hers; if she feels something is being calculated differently — then maybe she should run for office — otherwise — mind to your own business and job!!!!
Interested Citizen
So, if it was ruled unconstitutional, why are schools still being funded this way? I was under the impression that this would be illegal. Was the ruling overturned? Is there just not an easy way to challenge the current system? Granted, I'm all for people paying what they need to pay for their property value. Technically, it's not even directly about the school and the school is right. People would be getting a tax break if their property wasn't valued properly (or taxed to much if there is a devaluation). Still, if anyone wants to chime in on the constitutional ruling, please do. I'd like to know more.
so exactly how can a school get involved with MY TAXES ????
since we already know it is unconstitutional???
i think they should keep their noses out of county business. we have a department for that. so let them do their jobs.
just my opinion though
The school district is yet another case of a government entity being mismanaged. I am absolutely sure the treasurer has spent sleepless nights and countless overtime trying to first determine if they are getting every bit of value out of every tax dollar they already receive…..NOT. Instead of more efficiency, these government employees just want more money. How much have you spent on Freshwater? He would have been gone long ago if he had performed like this in the private sector. Now that home values have drastically plummeted and my taxes just went up?????????, the school believes they deserve more???????? You should make sure everyone in YOUR organization is doing their jobs instead of worrying about the auditor.
Citizens, Do everything you can legally do to server this vampires head. Vote NO NO NO
Why do you keep voting for the levies. Quit voting the levies in and then maby the school will wake up. Look at the money it is being wasted on the Freshwater case. And it isn't over yet. They will probalby need to pass another levy to pay for that.
Thomas Jay
The School District has hired counsel from Columbus. Some reports have them paying many thousands (20k?) of dollars to these attorneys. As for winning percentage, I believe the School District will win most of the "arms-length transaction" cases, but has decided to file on CAUV cases, against non-profit/tax exempt organizations, and filed on others that will have no benefit to the school – even if the school wins them. This is just frustrating for taxpayers – especially after we just voted in another emergency levy. I feel for Manners, of course he should have had a professional helping him with his conveyence form and he wouldn't have had this problem.
I'll also say that the School's estimation of what it will make on these cases is highly inflated.
I too would like to know how much the school has paid. Are they using local attorneys? If they aren't, why not?
I would like to see the news ask home/business owners how much they have had to pay for legal bills. Also what is the percentage of "wins" for the school? If they are spending money on outside attorneys and not even winning many cases, I think that is a huge mismanagement of taxpayer dollars.
I do know someone who went through this. They did go to court in Columbus. The school district lost.
I understand the school's position, but it is my opinion that many properties are overvalued in terms of tax valuation. They were valued at the height of the recent economic "boom". Now that values have gone a bit on the "bust" side, it appears that the school system may be getting MORE money than they should. I have never voted against any school levy–ever. However, right now nearly two-thirds of my property taxes are going to the schools. It was based on a figure that is 22% higher than the last valuation–and I haven't done ANYTHING in the way of an upgrade to my house. So….if this has happened to me (and I assume, to others) wouldn't it possibly lead to the idea that the schools are actually getting more than they shouuld have in terms of actual money value from properties. My property valuation was/is too high and the mechanism for getting it changed is difficult. It was going to cost to get a professional appraiser and do all the paperwork….now I am stuck with a larger tax bill and the school is griping they aren't gettting enough….Wow!
Thomas Jay
This article discloses how much the Auditor has paid for legal expenses. Why does it not disclose how much the School Board has paid? This is information the public should have.
My problem is that the School Board is paying lawyers from outside of Knox County to sue residents of Knox County, forcing the Auditor to hire a lawyer to handle the cases brought by the School Board. Sounds like a big waste of money when the values are updated (at latest) every three years by the Auditor.
John C. Davidson
I gave up and decided to let someone else deal with this blooming problem, I rent from a large corporation that can't be held responsible for the tax burdens left in their wake.

8. The Nikola Tesla induction motor. "This epoch-making invention is mainly responsible for the present large and increasing use of electricity in the industries." Before people had electricity in their homes, the alternating current–producing motor constructed by Tesla supplied 90 percent of the electricity used by manufacturing.
9. The Linotype machine. The Linotype machine enabled publishers—largely newspapers—to compose text and print it much faster and cheaper. It was an advance as large as the invention of the printing press itself was over the painstaking handwritten scrolls before it. Pretty soon we won't be using paper for writing and reading, so the history of printing will be forgotten anyway.
10. The electric welding process of Elihu Thomson. In the era of mass production, the electric welding process enabled faster production and construction of better, more intricate machines for that manufacturing process.
The electric welder invented by Elihu Thomson enabled the cheaper production of intricate welded machinery. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913
The turbine invented by Charles Parsons powered ships. Assembled in numbers, they provided an efficient means of driving electrical generators and producing that most useful commodity. Image: Scientific American - November 1, 1913
The second-prize essay, by George M. Dowe, also of Washington, D.C., who may have been a patent attorney, was more philosophical. He divided his inventions into those aiding three broad sectors: production, transportation and communication.
1. Electrical fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. As natural fertilizer sources were depleted during the 19th century, artificial fertilizers enabled the further expansion of agriculture.
2. Preservation of sugar-producing plants. George W. McMullen of Chicago is credited with the discovery of a method for drying sugar cane and sugar beets for transport. Sugar production became more efficient and its supply increased by leaps and bounds, like a kid on a "sugar buzz." Maybe this is one invention we could have done without. But I digress.
3. High-speed steel alloys. By adding tungsten to steel, "tools so made were able to cut at such a speed that they became almost red hot without losing either their temper or their cutting edge" The increase in the efficiency of cutting machines was "nothing short of revolutionary."
4. Tungsten-filament lamp. Another success of chemistry. After tungsten replaced carbon in its filament, the lightbulb was considered "perfected." As of 2013 they are being phased out worldwide in favor of compact fluorescent bulbs, which are four times as efficient.
5. The airplane. Not yet in wide use as transportation in 1913, but "To [Samuel] Langley and to the Wright brothers must be awarded the chief honors in the attainment of mechanical flight." In 2013 the annoying aspects of commercial airline flying make transportation by horse and buggy seem a viable alternative.
6. The steam turbine. As with Mr. Wyman, the turbine deserved credit not only "in the utilization of steam as a prime mover" but in its use in the "generation of electricity."
7. Internal combustion engine. As a means of transportation, Dowe gives the greatest credit to "Daimler, Ford and Duryea." Gottleib Daimler is a well-known pioneer in motor vehicles. Henry Ford began production of the Model T in 1908 and it was quite popular by 1913. Charles Duryea made one of the earliest commercially successful petrol-driven vehicles, starting in 1896.
