How do I manage Conference Calls?
The conference call number and access code for your VyewBook meeting room can by found by clicking the Conference Call button in the right sidebar panel beneath the UserList.
For most VyewBooks, the conference call number is:
(218) 862-6114 (Check your VyewBook for the access code number)
Entering a conference call:
1. Dial the conference number
2. Press "2" to join a call
3. Enter your access code number
Managing Callers
Once inside the conference call, if you are the organizer of the call you can use these options:
Dial *7 to change the Conference Call modes:
- Conversation Mode (default) = Everyone can speak
- Q/A Mode = Everyone except call organizer is muted (but anyone can unmute themselves with *6)
- Presentation Mode = Only the call organizer(s) can speak.
Dial *5 to Lock/Unlock the conference (Lock means no more callers can enter)
Using the conference call MUTE feature with Vyew handraising
If you have many people in your Vyew meeting, this is probably the best way to manage speakers:
- Use *7 in the phone conference to keep it in Presentation Mode, so that only you can speak
- Tell your users to raise their hand in Vyew if they have a question or would like to speak
- Give them the option of chatting their question. If you would like them to speak, dial *7 to change to Conversation Mode
- After they have spoken, change back to Presentation Mode with *7.
Complete Call Options List
For call organizer only:
*0 = Exit private call
*1 = Enter private call (You need to know the other persons private caller code)
*2 = Get my private caller code
*4 = Help menu
*5 = Lock/Unlock conference
*6 = Mute/unmute yourself
*7 = Cycle between call modes (Conversation/QA/Presentation)

what do you guys think of this movie
what do you guys think of this movie
Never seen it but I can only assume from the title that this is some kind of imagery film that loves how much symbolism it can show you.
Tree of life... sounds like a religous movie, or a movie with a preachy message... similar to V for Vendeta (as in being preachy).
Doesn't mean the movie is bad, but i think i'll feel annoyed with the constant reminder of it's main message.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
haven't seen it but im aware of the responses its generated. maybe this thread was a sign to watch it.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
i watched it while baked and it was fantastic. i wouldve probably hated it were i sober.
That can really be said about most things in life.
That being said, I saw This Is The End (mostly) sober on Saturday and still enjoyed it.
i watched it high. best movie ive ever seen.
rayne we should have a high movie night some time
saw pineapple express baked today. i think this may well become a thing.
drugs are lame

East Coast Ports
Although many U.S. East Coast ports are scrambling to deepen their harbors and expand infrastructure to handle the much-bigger ships from the Far East that will start calling after the Panama Canal opens its new locks, the ports are already handling the post-Panamax ships that are coming from India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East via the Suez Canal. Call it a rehearsal for the 2015 opening night.
Baltimore and Norfolk, which already have the 50 feet of water needed to accommodate the big ships, are sitting pretty, but they are not resting on their laurels. Norfolk is adding new train services, and Baltimore plans a new double-stack intermodal rail terminal. Five other ports, including Charleston, Jacksonville, Miami, New York/New Jersey and Savannah, got a leg up when the Obama Administration fast-tracked the federal approval process for their deepening and expansion projects, which could pave the way for some of them to finish by 2015.
Although Asian cargo now provides the majority of the throughput at many ports, the trans-Atlantic trade with Europe, like the Energizer Bunny, just keeps going and going, underpinning those ports' business.
East Coast ports maintained their lead in containerized exports in the first nine months of 2012 and increased their share of import and export markets.

WSJ - Oskar Blues Brewery Mixes Exercise With Beer
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the Wall Street Journal
When Dale Katechis is on a three-hour bike ride he has one thing on his mind: a cold beer. Beer and mountain biking may seem like an unlikely pairing. But for Mr. Katechis, the founder of Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colo., they are integral parts of his company's culture.
[image] Benjamin Rasmussen for The Wall Street Journal
Dale Katechis rides with some of his employees and friends on a mountain bike trail in Hall Ranch in Lyons, CO.
On Tuesday nights, employees gather for group mountain bike rides that might last 3½ hours, followed by beer and food at one of the three nearby restaurants he owns. "We ride and race year round," he says. "Even in the snow."

The 2010-11 ski season was definitely one for the record books. Could a twin be in the making?Last winter's record snow in Utah was a product of a climate condition known as La Nina, a flip-flop of the more well-known El Nino. It brought record snow depths to Utah's Mountains -- nearly 800 total inches at Snowbird -- and 4.2 million skiers to in Utah. (The national count was 60.54 million skier visits, an all-time high.)
Weather experts now tell us La Nina will hang around for another winter, and extended predictions call for above normal precipitation in northern Utah. The U.S. Weather Bureau's long-range forecasts call for above normal precipitation in northern Utah December through March. But, if you choose to believe the Farmer's Almanac, predictions are that the winter of 2012 will come with average temperatures and below normal precipitation.

Utah mountains have already received their initial covering. On Oct. 5 snow levels reached all the way down to the foothills of Salt Lake City, and yesterday snow blanketed the mountains and the valley. Snowbird has received more than two feet of snow at its top station, and temperatures have dipped low enough for resorts to make snow.The more prudent skiers and snowboarders have already set tracks for the 2011-12 season. They've taken advantage of the "locals'' ski packages at the various resorts and through Ski Utah, looked into the pre-season ski/snowboard sales, checked out the various ski swaps and have given ski/snowboard equipment a quick check.

Haven't started your ski season prep yet? Here's a few tips to keep in mind before you hit the slopes. - The time is right for tuning up and testing ski and snowboard equipment. Skis and boards, as with everything used, wear, especially around the edges. Well tuned equipment responds much better. - Get physically prepared for the upcoming season. Even a little exercise done correctly can help skiers and snowboarders avoid injuries. - Make sure equipment for the younger skiers and boarders is properly fitted. There is sometimes a tendency to pass down old equipment that is outdated, too large or too small. There are some great season rental packages available for children . . . and adults. - Work with an expert when buying equipment. Buying skis, boards, bindings and boots either under or over an individual's ability can make winter much harder than it need be.FACTS & FIGURES 14 Utah resorts 138 Ski lifts 22 Terrain parks 3,677 Acres of snowmaking 28,926 Skiable acres -- 28,926 1,210+ Runs $31 to $100 Ticket price range
NEW ON THE MOUNTAIN Of course there was the usual grooming and manicuring of runs and upgrades in food and service fetters, but what else can skiers/snowboarders expect when they visit their favorite resorts this season? -A new smartphone app will make it possible for skiers to go directly from their vehicle to the lifts at Alta by downloading the Alta Card. -Beaver Mountain added a new Little Beaver lift. -Brighton put in half a million dollars into its snowmaking. -Canyons will offer heli-skiing. -Deer Valley put in 41 new energy-efficient air-water snowmaking guns. -Powder Mountain expanded its snowcat-access terrain by 50 percent. -Snowbird put in a new version for its free IPhone app. -Solitude will offer free Wi-Fi access throughout its lower village.
Sunny days are ample on Alta's frosted slopes. (Adam Barker/Ski Utah)OPENING DAYS Falling snow has made it possible for some resorts to predict opening dates. The likelihood of at least some of the resorts making their target dates is good. All runs and lifts may not be open, but there will be opportunities to ski and snowboard.

ZF-11068: ErrorController created by zf.sh tries to call getParams() on non-object
When using Zend_Tool to create a project running: bq. zf create project generates an ErrorController with one line trying to call getParams() on non-object.
Line 35 when finding a log instance it tries: bq. $request->getParams() but the request variable is not set.
What I think it means is: bq. $errors->request->getParams() which works as expected.
Found the line in: bq. http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/… on line 162: bq. \$log->log('Request Parameters', \$priority, \$request->getParams());
Checked the source for Zend_Log and noticed that I was wrong in thinking that $errors->request->getParams() would solve the problem. I guess everyone else knows this but doing that will just log them into the $event array with the parameter key as index. So instead of getting it into the info index in the event array it will go into controller and action, which will not work that great trying to log the info.
That would result in when trying to format a log message with: bq. %timestamp% %priorityName% (%priority%): %message% -- %info% would need to be: bq. %timestamp% [%priorityName%] (%priority%): %message% -- %controller% / %action% plus any other information that might be logged, and that's not good.
As I said earlier I guess the person working on this already figured this out but just in case. :)
@Magnus, your comment is related to another issue (ZF-10427).
@Benoît isn't it related more to this issue since the adding of the %info% string will not solve the problem I was talking about. Sure the adding of the %info% string is more related to the other issue but that was not the point of my comment. The point was that even if the issue reported here is fixed with the solution I suggested it will not be using the logging correctly. It will be passing an array with string keys into the log and the log will insert the values into those keys instead of the info key. So even if the log string is changed to: bq. %timestamp% %priorityName% (%priority%): %message% - %info% this issue with the ErrorController will still be using it "incorrectly"?
Until this is fixed I am using the line: bq. $log->log('Request Parameters', $priority, print_r($errors->request->getParams(), true)); and then the request parameters are logged using %info%.
Sorry if I am not understanding the connection between my comment and the other issue and if that is the case I will comment that issue instead. :/
It's not the good issue to talk about it, because it's a design problem between the simple formatter and extra info event. %info% is mixed type. So, it's can be an array. We don't have this problem with the others writers like db, Firebug, xml stream, or ZendMonitor. I think that the issue for the extra info can be resolved in ZF2.

ZF-12553: Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc requires a getRoute() method that is missing in Zend_Controller_Router_Interface
Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc requires the front controller's router to have a getRoute() method that is missing in Zend_Controller_Router_Interface
This can break an application using custom routers (such as CLI or cross application ones)
If we add the {{getRoute()}} method to the interface, then it ends in a BC break. But we can check the existence of the method in the {{Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc}} class.
According to your comment, I got a working patch for version 1.12.3:
Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc, line 175, I added the test for method presence:
if ($this->_route && method_exists($front->getRouter(), 'getRoute')) {

My favourite teams are:
Lorena and Jason
Kynt and Vixen
TK and Rachel
Azaria and Hendekea
Any predictions as to who will win?
Lorena and Jason look strong to win, but I love Kynt and Vixen.

I agree about Kent and Vixen. I think they could win it. They seem to roll with things and not get hysterical when things go wrong, such as when there bicycle broke. They also have a sense of humor about the race---Vixen's comment about being able to tie knots because she used to macramé was great.
Also like TK and Rachel and the lesbian minister couple (who alas got booted off last week).
I'm really enjoying the season so far. I just hope they don't fall too far into melodrama/teams fighting. I found the dynamic between Ronald and Christina disturbing last episode. He was demeaning towards her the entire episode. I don't know how Christina stayed so calm.

The only thing about Lorena and Jason that kind of bugs me is that Jason is a somewhat successful actor. He's not just any guy. He played the young Jed Bartlett in The West Wing episode, "Two Cathedrals" and he played one of Rory's nemesis in "Gilmore Girls". I really dislike when they get people who really are actors and I don't mean just wannabees.

I agree. I like seeing how the team works thru the challenges and pitfalls in stressful situations. I do like the meltdowns, tho.
I can't remember which season it was, but one of the guys on a team was shouting that 'his Ox was broken' during a challenge...kinda of reminded me of the donkey dilemma this season.

If any of you "Amazing Race" fans didn't happen to watch "30 Rock" last night, they had a subplot that featured the "Race". I won't go into any details in case you want to catch it online. (I was a little surprised that they had no problem "promoting" a show on another network ... a reality one at that. Ha!)

I'm coming to this thread very late, but as a tried and true TAR fan, I'm enjoying this season quite a bit so far. The goths are definitely my favorite team this season. I particularly enjoyed seeing the show go first to Ireland, and then to Amsterdam.

I've watched that show since day one of season one, but no more. I've hated the way they've used animals this season especially the crying goats being tied to the bikes.
The basis of all animal rights should be the Golden Rule: we should treat them as we would wish them to treat us, were any other species in our dominant position. ~Christine Stevens

What a surprise this week...Azaria and Hendekea being eliminated. I didn't think they'd be out so early, but the mix-up in business/economy airfare really was a huge set back.
I'm afraid to get my hopes up about any team, but Kynt and Vixen are my favs. I also like TK and Rachel. It could all be in the editing but they seem like the most functional couples.

The 13th installment of THE AMAZING RACE will feature a variety of firsts, including: Teams traveling to a real-life water world where its inhabitants live upon a floating city; first time visits for the Race to locations such as Cambodia and Kazakhstan; and one Team makes an unprecedented mistake on the road that ultimately prohibits them from joining their fellow Racers at the finish line.
The cast also features couples in various stages of their lives - married beekeepers who have been together for years, a married but separated couple looking to rebuild their marriage, a newly dating couple still getting to know each other and best friends who are comic book aficionados and describe the Race as "the ultimate game on the biggest game board you can imagine."
THE AMAZING RACE was just nominated for its sixth straight Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, which the globe-trotting series has taken home five years in a row.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
From our July 1 issue: Three-Dimensional...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Chinese specialty pharmaceutical company Eddingpharm is collaborating with GlaxoSmithKline China (GSK) to acquire from GSK the exclusive right in mainland China to import, market, promote, distribute, and sell Tykerb, a treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer that was recently approved by the China State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).
Tykerb (also known as lapatinib ditosylate, or under the trade name lapatinib) is a small molecular reversible inhibitor of tyrosine kinase (TKI) with effective absorption upon oral administration. It is used, in combination with capecitabine, another cancer drug, for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2 and who have received prior therapy with an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab. To date, Tykerb has been approved for the same indication in more than 100 countries; it was approved by the FDA in March of 2007.
"This cooperation with GSK on Tykerb is not only a milestone of Eddingpharm's business development history, but also an important milestone of China's pharmaceutical industry," Xin Ni, chairman and CEO of Eddingpharm, said. "This is the first time a Chinese pharmaceutical company will participate in the launch of a proprietary global oncology drug."
He added, "This partnership with GSK helps us fully leverage our rich market experience and mature marketing platforms to open a fast track for Tykerb's China launch."

Game Time
Modern Luxury Dallas' annual tradition of treating our handsome Men of Style to a night at American Airlines Center was fun as usual at the Mavs vs. Suns game. Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi welcomed guests to enjoy his ultra VIP suite; Omega, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer behind James Bond's wrist adornment, was on hand to spoil the boys and Ketel One and Johnnie Walker overfloweth from the bar. Add to that pregame access to the high-five line to cheer the Mavs on and a private locker room tour (seriously, we could live there), and it was all a recipe for a good night.

"I was lucky to be in school with a bunch of great and talented musicians, and I thought it would be cool to put a band together that played songs from Michael Jackson, Kool & the Gang and Earth Wind & Fire, you know, the fun dance music," Tadepalli said during a telephone call to The Park Record from San Francisco, Calif. "We did, but we kept going back to Michael's songs and more and more of his songs kept getting added to the list."
So, eventually, Tadepalli decided just to play Jackson songs. That band, known as Who's Bad, will play the Egyptian Theatre on March 22 through March 24.
When Tadepalli formed the band, there weren't many Michael Jackson tributes in existence.
"There really wasn't a band that was just devoted to playing his music," Tadepalli said. "And, we actually had the band put together, before we had a singer, which is just the opposite of what you think would happen."
That was back in 2003, when Jackson's popularity wasn't what it was in the 1980s.
"It was right around when the molestation accusations were coming out and that kind of lit a fire under me to do this to make sure people remembered how great his music was and not those other things," Tadepalli said.
During a jazz jam session, a friend approached Tadepalli, saying he heard the saxophonist was assembling a tribute band.
"He said he knew of a singer and dancer who had been a life-long fan of Michael's and lives in Chapel Hill," Tadepalli said. "I said, 'Great. When can I meet him?' and my friend introduced me to Taalib York."
York, who will be with the band when it comes to Park City, is perfect for the role.
"The first question he asked me was, 'Are you really a Michael fan?'" Tadepalli said. "I think he had a little skepticism in him, but I told him I was."
The singer auditioned for the band and "killed it on 'Billie Jean,'" according to Tadepalli.
"We played our first show on Jan. 14, 2004," he said. "I remember it vividly."
Tadepalli wasn't sure anyone would come out, because Chapel Hill is a huge college town and the football team lost to Maryland.
"I thought everyone would sit in their rooms, feel sorry for themselves and feel sad," he said. "But we ended up selling the show out, and we had to turn away 150 people."
A week later, the group played a venue twice the size a week later and then in the next six months, performed 62 shows.
"An agency caught wind of us and we started playing concerts in the southeast," Tadepalli said. " 2007, we had performed throughout the entire continental United States."
In 2008, the band added another Jackson impersonator, Joseph Bell, who came to us while York took a break.
"This was all before Michael passed," Tadepalli said. "When he died in 2009, Taalib wanted to come back, so we began working with two singers."
Jackson's death had an impact on Who's Bad that no one anticipated.
"We were getting ready to play a show in Washington, D.C., on June 26," Tadepalli. "We got a call the night of the 25th from E'Cassinova, who is one of the most well-known Michael impersonators in the business. He called me from Los Angeles and told me that Michael suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance."
At first, Tadepalli didn't believe him.
"I searched the Internet and TMZ just posted a story and then my phone started blowing up," Tadepalli said. "Our booking agency got non-stop calls. At that point, we added another 70 shows and it was pretty insane."
In the next year and half, band has toured China, Singapore, Germany, Romania and all over the United Kingdom, South America, Canada and Mexico.
"When Michael died, he left a giant void for those people who wanted to hear his music live," Tadepalli said.
The band was blown away.
"It was an amazing experience to play this music all over the world," Tadepalli said. "I mean in some of the countries, no one speaks English, but they all knew the words to the songs.
"It wasn't the best way to gain popularity, because of the tragedy, the reason we started the band was to pay tribute the music," he said. "And you could feel the love when we walked on stage."
Who's Bad has close to 50 Jackson songs in its repertoire.
"Over the years, we've whittled it down to what we know what works on a consistent basis," Tadepalli said. "We play some of the songs he sang in the Jackson 5, because we have to show where he came from."
Playing Jackson songs does prove to be daunting at times.
"He was one of the greatest entertainers of all time," Tadepalli said. "The biggest hurdle we ever faced was getting people to overcome their skepticism, but once they saw us, they understood.
"Some people even say crazy stuff like, 'I don't even like Michael Jackson, but you guys are awesome," he said. "We would laugh, but, I mean, we are emulating him the best we can, even though we put in a little bit of our own element.
"It's about keeping the fans involved and keeping the energy high," he said. "I love seeing our audiences that are made up of different ages and races enjoying what we're doing together."
Tadepalli's favorite Jackson song to play is the rocking "Smooth Criminal," but his favorite song to listen to is "I Can't Help It," which is a mellow song written by Stevie Wonder that's on Jackson's "Off the Wall" album.
"Those two are on the different ends of the spectrum," Tadepalli said. "And I think they show Michael's talent in different ways."
Who's Bad — the Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band will perform at the Egyptian Theatre on Friday, March 22 through Sunday, March 24. Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 8 p.m. and Sunday's show will open at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $30 to $50 and available at www.parkcityshows.com.

As many of you might be aware of by now, I have a real soft spot in my candy loving heart for classic/retro candies. You know, the ones that often have that dated, garish packaging and are only found in limited and difficult to find areas and stores around the United States. I cannot place my finger on all the reasons why I love these candies so much, but one reason is that I am really drawn to the history of them. Another reason is I'm very curious to taste something that has survived the test of time.
Annabelle's Candy Company is what I'd consider one of these classic/retro candy manufacturers. Located in Northern California, they've an impressive history and have been around making sweets since the 1950s. They have a solid lineup of sweet treats and I admit they they make some of my favorites.
Living on the East Coast makes it hard for me to find Annabelle's candy in stores, but when I do I am certain to stock up. I was excited to find this Abba-Zaba Sour Apple in a remote gas station and snatched it up as if my life depended on it. Especially since it was alone on a shelf, not even sitting in a box. It needed a home.
I've had regular Abba-Zabas before, which are basically a sweet taffy with a peanut butter center, and I liked them despite being a plainer sibling to my favorite the Big Hunk. This was a sour apple version though, and I wasn't sure what to expect from it. The idea of the flavored taffy with the peanut butter sounded interesting.
First thing I was surprised to find the taffy a bright, bright green. I expected sour apple flavor, yes, but sour apple color? No, so this was a surprise. It smelled salty and lightly of peanut butter. The texture of the taffy is hard and it's crunchy in the parts on the ends that are thin enough to dry out. Once warmed in the mouth and worked with the teeth, it softens and has a lovely chew.
The flavor is spot on with a standard sour apple flavor. It's not as powerful as the Jolly Rancher thankfully, but it has it's moments of sour and sweet both mixing together wonderfully and playfully transitioning between the two. Even thought I'm not much of a sour person, this had a mildness to it where I didn't feel it crossed the line.
In fact, I'd call it tart as opposed to sour as it felt more natural like the sweet sourness that real apples have. The peanut butter is what you'd expect: creamy, sweet-salty and nutty. I was reminded of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at certain moments.
So yes, Abba-Zaba Sour Apple is a quite tasty and very satisfying dense and chewy taffy. Though I had a hard time biting off chunks to chew, it was still entertaining to eat. It especially made things interesting when trying to type my tasting notes during consumption; one hand recording the data and the other busy supplying my sugar addiction for the day.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (May 29, 2010) - Needing to post a top-12 time in the quarterfinals of the 110m hurdles, junior Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) came up short and saw his season come to an end Saturday evening at the NCAA East Regional, located from the Irwin Belk Track Complex.
James, who advanced to the quarters after finishing second in his heat Friday, placed 20th overall with a time of 14.11.
"Michael competed very strong over these last two days and this experience has helped him mature tremendously," said associate head coach Michelle Byrne. "He posted the third fastest time of his career today, so it shows he's knocking on the door of reaching the next level. Hopefully Michael uses this experience to his advantage and reaches nationals as a senior."

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
I'm going with Berdoues Violettes de Toulouse today, and taking Mom out on a mother-daughter "date"-- visiting the local Senior Center to see if they have anything she might like to sign up for, then shopping and lunch.
We're planning to do something together each Tuesday. I also go over briefly each evening to be sure she took her meds. She really needs this; she hasn't really integrated into the community life at her new residence. Being widowed and having to move to a different state at 81 is hard, very hard.
Good Day Everyone. My SOTD is Elizabeth Ardens 'RED DOOR' I always get tons of compliments when I wear this. I try to use a light hand with this scent or it can be a little overwhelming LOL!!
I feel ya, 30 Roses. Right now my mind is on my 95-year-old uncle who entered hospice after the Packer game Sunday. He opted out of treatment, but insisted he not leave ICU until after the game. He's not your typical 95yo -- tough lot this strain of Bohemians. Even after his heart stops, I bet he'll still be chewing the biggest meal ordered from the kitchen on that fateful day. The French call it joie de vivre -- I guess the Germans call it lebensfreude.

For several years now Accent Inns has been a supporter of The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command. This past weekend the Accent Inn BC hotel chain was honored with a plaque recognizing our partnership. Mr. Dave Sinclair, President of The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon, presented John Espley on behalf of Accent Inns with award and several kind words at the legions Britannia branch (very close to the Accent Inn Victoria hotel). Why is it important that Accent Inns works with such a group…..
The Royal Canadian Legion is a very special organization in that it has not only a long history but serves a wide and diversified role in our communities. The first thing that may come to mind is veteran's services and the poppy campaign. For the past 81 Years, The Royal Canadian Legion has been devoted to caring for Canada's veterans and their families and working with current serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces by providing: Veterans Transition Program, Military Family Resource Centers, Overseas Blankets of Hope for Injured Personnel, Support for the Troops Morale Fund, Government Advocacy, Acts of Remembrance.

ESPN often finds itself in uncharted celebrity journalism territory. The company's more visible talent is rife with former athletes and coaches who can provide unique perspective and insight.
But things get a little sticky when the news providers become the news makers — enter the alleged Jon Gruden interview for the University of Miami football position.
Multiple reports have surfaced that Gruden, a Monday Night Football analyst for ESPN, is scheduled to meet with the Miami athletic director sometime this week, most likely Wednesday, Dec. 1.
Obviously, this is awkward for Gruden because you never want to tell your current girlfriend that you're entertaining the idea of leaving her. Hence, Gruden's cryptic non-denial denial tweet Monday addressing the coaching rumors.
But there is another level of awkwardness for the ESPN reporters who have to cover their co-worker's potential new job. Joe Schad, a former Orlando Sentinel employee, broke the news today that a "source close to the search said Tuesday night that Miami expects to speak with Gruden, who other Miami sources have indicated is still the Hurricanes' top choice."
Here's the pink elephant in the room that isn't being addressed. ESPN surely doesn't want to get beat on its own story, but how do you balance the line when employees are being put in the position to cover co-workers?
You get the general sense that ESPN doesn't encourage its employees to write or even talk about other employees. Tony Kornheiser got suspended when he merely commented on Hannah Storm's wardrobe. The company, for the most part, backed off the Erin Andrews stalking situation though it was headline news for most of the entertainment television outlets.
There's no doubt Jon Gruden's potential departure for the University of Miami job is headline sports news. But it's debatable if ESPN should be covering this or if the company should back off as it has in the past when it comes to employees.
On one hand, if ESPN consistently covers its employees (when headline news occurs) then it shows transparency. On the other hand, some viewers and readers may question if there is an agenda involved.
Obviously, working for ESPN allows Gruden some level of control over the information being released. It wouldn't be ridiculous to assume that he or someone in his camp would feed the company information. Or ESPN could possibly even demand they get the information first since they are the cutting Gruden's current paycheck.
It's an odd situation that most news organizations don't have to face because most don't employ the same people they once covered.
Of course, this is what makes ESPN unique for the good and for the odd.

Montrilla from Lavender Pudding styled this gorgeous pool party as a joint party for her brother and sister's birthdays. She has SO many creative touches that you won't want to miss. From cute food names (hello pool noodles and floats) to the handmade favor bags to the custom swimming pool for the cupcakes and the huge sunglasses.
I designed the printables to match the fabric that she purchased and she carried the color scheme through the whole party.

This is my "Vroom Vroom" quilt. I made this quilt for my nephew's first birthday. It was the first "boy" quilt I ever made, and I was extremely indecisive about it. I didn't want the finished quilt to look too babyish, since he was already turning one by the time I got around to making it. (I had a newborn at home myself!) I went through several different possible designs, using as many different fabric lines, before finally settling on this one, which is based on a Moda Bake Shop tutorial by Natalia from Piece N Quilt. I just eliminated the applique and a couple rows of blocks to make the quilt smaller, and ta da—I had a sweet and simple little boy quilt.
Here are some of the reasons I love this quilt:
1. This is one of two quilts that I've quilted myself on a long-arm (rented at a local quilt shop).
2. Love that stripey binding.
3. This fabric is thoroughly boyish, not too babyish, and yet it's super cute. That's not an easy combination to find!
4. This was one of my first forays into bold, geometric, modern quilt designs. From the minute I started piecing it, I was hooked on this look.
5. It was a gift for someone special in my life.
Is there an aspect of this quilt that I don't love? Yes: The back. I wanted to do some piecing on the back, but I just plain ran out of time. And the blue polka-dot fabric I used isn't ideal, but I had no choice. I had to pick from whatever was available at my local quilt shop—which is to say, not much. (Fortunately, I've since found an excellent quilt store that is a little further away, but carries plenty of modern fabric, so it's always worth the drive!)
Aside from the back, I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I think it represents a bit of a turning point in the evolution of my quilting, and I hope it's being used and loved in its new home right now.
Now head on over to the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side and check out all the other great quilts! What an amazing display and a fun event!
