After we ate at this restaurant we HAD to write about it immediately. Yes, I am slacking here on my posts, but hopefully this will jump start them back up again. (Thank you everyone for reading and following along!!!!!!!! Please spread the word!!)
Some people had recommended this place to us and the first thing they said was, "It's a Paleo Diner!" The Meat-O-Meter and I looked at each other like, "Whaaaaa???? No way." We did our research and looked it up on the good ol' interweb. We were incredibly interested, but incredibly skeptical. We have had several conversations with each other about what a REAL Paleo restaurant would be like and what a REAL Paleo restaurant would serve to be successful. We thought no one would ever do it because it's so against the norm and that it wouldn't last…maybe as a food cart….maybe….
Anyway, when we heard about DK's, we thought, "An actual restaurant that publicly declares themselves to be a follower of the Paleo Diet and actually writes in bold letters, PORTLAND's FIRST STONE AGE DINER on their website. It sounds too good to be true."
So we checked out their menu online. The first thing you see on the menu is burgers, sausages and sandwiches. (My one eyebrow is raised) Then we see words: vegan and vegetarian options. We were like, "Whaaaat???" Then the last page of the menu is a page long description of the Paleo Diet! They even go so far as give recommended books to read up on about the Paleo Diet!!! (By the way Robb Wolf's book, "The Paleo Solution" is the book to read. Go buy it now.) Wait a second…..Paleo Diet: meat, veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds, Vegetarian Diet: NO meat. How is that right? Not good feelings…..But, with all the hoopla and questioning from other Paleo followers, we had to go and check it out. On a rainy night, we drove to the diner, located next to the Laughing Planet on Belmont. (We come to find the owner of DK's is also the owner of Laughing Planet) This is what we found on every table:
What we ordered: Sausage Plate (recommended by the waiter to have the most meat for our money), Veggie Plate (your choice of 3 sides)
How we ordered it: As is. Supposedly it's Paleo, so bring it!
What we got:
Cost: Sausage Plate – $10, Veggie Plate – $8.50
Quantity of the meat: Did you see the size of that cole slaw? In case you missed it, it's in that small dish that is the same size as the mustard.
The waiter recommended the Sausage Plate and said, "The sausages are huge." Then we asked him about the sides. The waiter then said, "The greens are great. They taste like they are cooked in bacon even though they are vegetarian. The cabbage is awesome too. They taste really buttery, but it's vegan."
"Hmm" thought the bacon eating connoisseurs. "OK let's try it."
Oh, the disappointment. After the meal, we asked the waiter, "Have you had bacon before?"
Quality of the meat: The best thing from these two dishes was the sweet potato mash. It was different and unique. They do serve grass fed 5 ounce beef patties for their burgers. That's 5 ounces before cooking. Can you imagine how small it is after it's cooked? Yikes.
MEAT-O-METER says!
Ouch, the thumb's not even visible. That's not good.
OK, there's so much to say about this place, where do I begin. First, if you are claiming yourself to be a Stone Age Diner, don't say that NO-BUN is optional. It should say that burgers come with lettuce, tomato, etc.. and bun is optional. It seems like false advertising or actually total bs to go so far as to claim yourself to be a Paleo Restaurant, and then have bread everywhere. What is up with that? A Paleo Menu should look like: MEAT OPTIONS, VEGGIE OPTIONS, done.
We do realize that it must be a big risk to go Paleo especially in Portland because we must be the capital of vegetarianism, but Podnah's, Clay's Smokehouse and Russell St. Barbecue seem to be doing just fine with their meaty menus.
I really think if you go down this road, just pull the trigger. If anything, Portland is the place to do it.
So what is the difference between DK's and any other diner? I can get better sausages at another diner. The server asked us how our meal was and the Meat-O-Meter laid it on him. The server told us they are still trying to figure out the menu. Figure out meat and vegetables!?!?!?! OK, whatever. We decided that DK's is making the classic mistake of trying to appease everybody, but not satisfying anybody. Have you ever straddled a fence? It's uncomfortable, and that's what it felt like eating at DK's.
From afar DK's looks like the perfect grass fed medium rare steak, but up close, it's just a regular peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I'm not going to post their phone number or website because you don't need it. I struggled whether to post the address.
So we had a bit of a miscommunication with restaurant.com. We didn't read the fine print very well! A lesson to everyone who uses these coupons!!! Meat-O-Meter is still grieving over his loss of $. We thought the restaurant.com coupon was good for whenever, but apparently it is for DINNER ONLY. We didn't find this out until AFTER we ate everything we ordered. Ouch!
What we ordered: Fish and chips, Chop Chop Salad (shrimp, olives, mushroom, tomato) and a bowl of the Soup of the Day: Tomato base Halibut.
How we ordered it: Fish and chips without the chips. Subbed in side of fruit instead. Unfortunately the cole slaw had a cream type base to it.
What we got:
Yes, ALL of the shrimp are visible in this picture. They all can be counted by using 4 out of 5 fingers on one hand.
Cost: Chop Chop Salad: $15.95, Fish and Chips: $15.95. Soup: eh….Man, this is almost embarrassing……
Quantity: Ugh!
Quality: "There is no amount of quality that could offset the ridiculousness of this meal" – MEAT-O-METER
MEAT-O-METER says! (I think we know where this is headed.)
If this review will prevent just ONE person from going here for any meal, it will have subsided just some of the buyer's remorse we feel whenever we think about this experience. Yeah yeah yeah, the view of the river is wonderful, but I'd rather stand on the I-5 bridge during rush hour.
Burgerville now has a "Protein Platter", though unbeknownst to some of the employees, they do make them and serve them!
Here is the MEAT-O-METER's financial analysis and overall opinion of the matter:
We went to the Burgerville on NE Grand by the Lloyd Center and ordered the platter. The checkout person knew what were asking for but warned us it is so rarely ordered that they have to remind the cooks how to make it. Great.
$5.69 and you get the following. 2 x 1/4 lb beef patties and a weak side salad. There is also a chicken and turkey option.
We realized the receipt said bacon comes on the platter so we asked for it. We got it for free but was warned it actually might not come with the platter. So, I can't guarantee it is included in the $5.69.
Ok, the receipt for the platter was revealing. Apparently, protein is not an important enough macronutrient to make the list. I was bummed.
(In case you can't read it, the upper right hand corner has Calories, Fiber, Fat, Carbs for their categories)
We ordered a lone beef patty to compare.
After all that, here is what we know.
1) One beef patty is about 17-18 grams of protein – $1.75
2) Protein platter is 2 beef patties, 35 grams of protein -$5.69.
3) You can just order two beef patties for $3.50 and get the same amount of protein. By ordering the platter, you are paying $2.19 or 62% more for a weak, iceberg lettuce side salad. Assuming no bacon here.
Also, the Classic Burgerville burger that comes with 1 patty, bun, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sauce is $3.39. You are paying $1.64 or 94% more for the bun, piece of lettuce, wedge of tomatoe, and slice of cheese. Oh, and if you get the combo meal with the fries and soft drink, it is way more.
4) I hear a lot from friends who have never tried Paleo say that it is expensive. Well, for the extra $1.64 or $2.19 you are spending on the Classic or the Platter, you could be doing a whole lot more for yourself. If we consider the fries and soft drink, get ready for a Paleo bonanza. The snack plate I made for myself below is 3 oz of Almond butter from Trader Joes ($0.94), 4 oz carrot ( $0.25), and 5 oz celery ($0.72) from New Seasons. $1.91 total, give or take.
Update: I couldn't finish the whole snack plate. There was over 1/2 lb of veggies there and it turns out it is very filling.
In summary, I would stick with the $1.75 beef patties from Burgerville and just get me a bag of mixed veggies to munch on. For rating, see pic below.
Ahhhh, Burgerville. In my non-Paleo days, the seasonal milkshake would be a reward to myself. Like ice cream it is an achilles of mine and I will always have fond memories of it. I do miss it. Well, they do serve meat, so maybe there's a way to not totally elminate Burgerville from my life. So we tried it, we ordered Paleo at Burgerville. Not possible you say? You might just be right.
What we ordered: 2 Tillamook Cheeseburgers. Yeah, we could have done without the cheese, but we really wanted to give Burgerville a chance.
How we ordered it: No bun.
What we got:
Using our Chinook book coupon for 1 free cheeseburger when a 2nd one of equal or greater value is purchased, the damage didn't seem too bad.
Cost: $3.69 for 1 burger, with the coupon we got 2!
Quality: The meat patty actually tasted like beef! They use 100% Anitibiotic and Hormone Free Beef from Country Natural Beef and their food sources are local!
Quantity: 1 burger at $3.69 is definitely not enough for a meal.
The meat actually tasted like beef! Having local sources for food is a plus. The amount of meat for the price was horrible. They did serve the meat in containers that are compostable, which was nice on their part. But overall, not really worth the visit for just one meat patty. Burgerville may just have to remain a fond memory….

Happy birthday Kristi ! A long time reader and new Crossfitter! We had Sunday birthday brunch at 3 Degrees recently. So we decided to make a Meateats post out of it! They have bottomless champagne on Sunday mornings! Woohoo! :P
What we ordered: 3 Degrees Omelet – sausage, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, goat cheese. Corned Beef and Sweet Potato Hash.
How we ordered it: No side of potatoes add in avocado, sub in side of fruit.
What we got:
Cost: Corned Beef and Sweet Potato Hash – $11, 3 Degrees Omelete – $10, Side of Bacon or Sausage or Ham – $4
Quality: This is a nice restaurant and the quality was pretty good. Everything was nicely presented and tasted just like good breakfast food.
Quantity: The quantity was OK too. It was regular, normal, about right, not too little, but not a lot….
MEAT-O-METER says!
In case you're confused. The thumb is pointing towards him and the finger means he's drunk! hahaha! The finger is for the bottomless champagne for $6.95. Seriously, that was pretty good. If you go with intention and bring a bucket, you can really capitalize on this offer.

Unfortunately not in Oregon😦
If you've never been to In-N-Out, we highly suggest you visit one! There are only 4 items on their menu. Double Double Burger, Cheeseburger, Hamburger and Fries (which are fresh and awesome too, if you want to cheat a bit). Of course they have the regular libations at a fast food place, but also an assortment of milkshakes. I hear they are tasty! Not that I would know :P
We were in Arizona for Christmas. Everytime we go there or to California, we go to In-N-Out. They have a Secret menu, with options to order your burger "Protein-Style" or "Animal-Style". "Protein-Style" burger means no bun. "Animal-Style" means mustard and relish cooked on your patty.
For a list of all the items on the Secret Menu, check this link out!
What we ordered: 2 Double Double burgers
How we ordered it: 2 "Protein-Style" Double Double burgers please! No cheese or special sauce. Add onions!
What we got:
Cost: cheap, it is fast food afterall…Double Double Burger – $2.99 + tax = $3.25-ish….
Quality: Their motto is – Quality you can taste. It's pretty darn accurate. Their veggies are all cut on site. For a quick easy meal while you're traveling to the Southwest – In-N-Out is perfect!
Quantity: If you order "Protein Style" and you're hungry, definitely get at least two of them!
MEAT-O-METER says!
Since we were in Arizona for only a few days, we had to make the most of our In 'n Out experience. Going on Christmas Eve (which was busy by the way) and on Sunday after Christmas, we ordered as many variations of the "Protein Style" burger as possible. We ordered the "Protein Style" burger with "Animal Style" additions. (mustard and relish on the patty). Also you can add pickles and fried onions. Mmmmmmm….so good.
We would love to open up an In-N-Out joint, but it is still a privately owned family business. Their employees get benefits! That's pretty sweet.
In-N-Out is a multiple stop restaurant for your Paleo needs fer sure!!!!!

Ya know when somebody describes something to you and they say,"My meal was the size of a football!", or "The meat was huge, like a baby's head!"….well, maybe not a baby's head, but you get what I mean. Usually when this is being said, it's really a slight exaggeration. However at Gravy the size of the omelettes are REALLY the size of a SMALL FOOTBALL!! It was crazy. I think the MEAT-O-METER's eyes popped out of his head when he saw his food. (true exaggeration)
What we ordered: Omelette w/ choice of 3 ingredients; bacon, sausage and smoked salmon. Pork chop and eggs. Both dishes were served w/ the choice of fruit, potatoes or hash browns.
How we ordered it: The choice of ingredients for the omelette was really diverse. There was a list of cheeses, list of veggies and list of meats to add. This made it super easy to order Paleo. We ordered the omelette w/ smoked salmon, double-wide bacon and sausage. Pork and eggs were as is. Both dishes ordered w/ bowl of fruit.
What we got:
Ummm, let's see that again….
Cost: Omelette – $9.25, Pork chops and eggs – $11.75
Quality: Everything was very tasty. The smoked salmon was a bit dry b/c it was cooked a little too long, but apparently you can also get the salmon on the side if you like, so that it doesn't cook any longer while in the omelette. I'd like to see how big that portion really is! Sausage and bacon was excellent as well.
Quantity: The salmon in the omelette was literally a whole filet. We had never seen anything so ginormous! The pic pretty much speaks for itself. The Pork Chops were perfect! I was definitely stuffed and very satisfied.
MEAT-O-METER says!
First meal in a long time where the MEAT-O-METER barely finished! It was a struggle but he did it and he was proud. It takes a lot to make him stuffed to the gills. Warning, do NOT go here on the weekend. If you go, be prepared to wait. During the weekdays, you are golden! They're open until 3pm, so get in for a late breakfast and notice you will not have to eat for many many many hours.
Yay for Gravy!

Delhi CM's new helpline number for women: 167
For helping women in distress, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit requested Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal to allot a three digit phone number.
New Delhi: For helping women in distress, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit requested Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal to allot a three digit phone number. A three-digit number, 167, has been allotted for the Chief Minister's helpline for women.
Women can also look forward to alerting their friends and family through the push of a button on sensing danger using a mobile application called 'Fight Back'. Developed by mobile value added services provider CanvasM, the application tracks a user's location and sends SOS messages to selected contacts in case of an emergency.
This comes a week after a 23-year-old medical student was brutally gangraped inside a moving bus in Delhi. While the gangrape survivor is battling for life in Safdarjung Hospital, the nation came together to protest against crime against women and demand speedy justice for the survivor.
The protests turned violent on Sunday and police lathicharged protesters including wome. The police also fired water cannons and tear gas shells. Over 140 protesters were injured, while one policeman was critical.
Following the violence, the government shut down all routes to India Gate on Monday. However, the protesters remained undeterred and gathered in large numbers at Jantar Mantar to continue the protests.

Definition of Houdini, Harry in English:
Houdini, Harry
1 (1874–1926), Hungarian-born American magician and escape artist; born Erik Weisz. In the early 1900s he became famous for his ability to escape from all kinds of bonds and containers, from prison cells to aerially suspended straitjackets.
1.1 [as noun] A person skilled at escaping: you're a regular Houdini
More example sentences
- People call him a 'lucky' Prime Minister, and if they mean that, Houdini like, he gets out of tight corners, like the knife-edge vote on university top-up fees, then they're right.
- Houdini to the end, he'll leave office more popular than ever.
- And he's a regular Houdini. He can get out of that thing in just a few minutes.
1.2An ingenious escape: he will have to do a Houdini to escape from me
More example sentences
- 'Thankfully, we got our act together to give ourselves this chance and hopefully now with our support behind us we can do a Houdini and retain our status,' said Quinlan.
- I wonder if they'll let me do a Houdini and board the plane in a straitjacket and watertank?
- Any creature captured then put on public exhibition will do a Houdini and terrorize the town.

NEW YORK — The price of oil rose Wednesday as U.S. oil supplies increased less than expected. But natural gas futures fell again on expectations for warmer weather by the middle of March.
Benchmark U.S. crude for April delivery rose 76 cents to $102.59 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The Energy Department said crude oil supplies rose by 68,000 barrels last week, well below the increase of 1.5 million barrels expected by analysts surveyed by Platts. Supplies at the key storage point in Cushing, Oklahoma, fell by 1.1 million barrels, helping support oil prices.
Natural gas fell 15 cents to $4.54 per 1,000 cubic feet. Although frigid temperatures have returned this week to parts of the U.S. Midwest and Northeast, forecasts are calling for warmer temperatures as the start of spring approaches.
Brent crude, which is used to set prices for international varieties of crude, gained 1 cent to $109.52 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline was unchanged at $2.80 per gallon.
— Heating oil rose 2 cents to $3.13 a gallon.

The House of the Seven Gables
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The House of the Seven Gables Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
For some reason or other, not very easy to analyze, there had hardly been so bitter a pang in all her previous misery about the matter as what thrilled Hepzibah's heart on overhearing the above conversation. The testimony in regard to her scowl was frightfully important; it seemed to hold up her image wholly relieved from the false light of her self-partialities, and so hideous that she dared not look at it. She was absurdly hurt, moreover, by the slight and idle effect that her setting up shop—an event of such breathless interest to herself—appeared to have upon the public, of which these two men were the nearest representatives. A glance; a passing word or two; a coarse laugh; and she was doubtless forgotten before they turned the corner. They cared nothing for her dignity, and just as little for her degradation. Then, also, the augury of ill-success, uttered from the sure wisdom of experience, fell upon her half-dead hope like a clod into a grave. (3.26)
In the first several chapters, we get plenty of descriptions of Miss Hepzibah Pyncheon, and they all seem to emphasize the fact that she is an elderly unmarried woman. As a result of her status as an "old maid," she is timid, shy, and unwilling to join in the rest of society. But the flip side of her timidity is that Hepzibah is extremely vain. When she opens her shop, she expects the rest of the world to understand how terrible this is for her.
Quote #2
Now and then, there came a thrill of almost youthful enjoyment. It was the invigorating breath of a fresh outward atmosphere, after the long torpor and monotonous seclusion of her life. So wholesome is effort! So miraculous the strength that we do not know of! The healthiest glow that Hepzibah had known for years had come now in the dreaded crisis, when, for the first time, she had put forth her hand to help herself. (3.40)
All of the terms that Hawthorne uses to describe what it means to be a lady ("torpor" and "monotonous seclusion") suggest inactivity, boredom, isolation, staleness – nothing good, in other words. Now that Hepzibah is trying to do something productive, suddenly she is "wholesome" and filled with "miraculous" strength. This transformation isn't immediate or permanent, of course, but Hawthorne is still creating a strong contrast between "ladies," who are inactive, and women who are busy and productive. He shows a strong preference for the latter.
Quote #3
Little Phoebe was one of those persons who possess, as their exclusive patrimony, the gift of practical arrangement. It is a kind of natural magic that enables these favored ones to bring out the hidden capabilities of things around them; and particularly to give a look of comfort and habitableness to any place which, for however brief a period, may happen to be their home. [...] What was precisely Phoebe's process we find it impossible to say. She appeared to have no preliminary design, but gave a touch here and another there; brought some articles of furniture to light and dragged others into the shadow; looped up or let down a window-curtain; and, in the course of half an hour, had fully succeeded in throwing a kindly and hospitable smile over the apartment. No longer ago than the night before, it had resembled nothing so much as the old maid's heart; for there was neither sunshine nor household fire in one nor the other, and, save for ghosts and ghostly reminiscences, not a guest, for many years gone by, had entered the heart or the chamber. (5.4)
Two things strike us about this passage, but we'll start with Phoebe. Hawthorne is assigning her a gender-specific talent. He says that she has a great gift for arranging things so that even the most desolate, disused rooms become "kindly and hospitable." Phoebe's talent for interior design shows that she fulfills the popular 19th-century ideal of the Angel in the House. According to this ideal, it is the social role of women to make all interior spaces pleasant, pretty, and welcoming. Phoebe's talent in this area shows that she is a good woman in a much less ambiguous way than vain, awkward Hepzibah Pyncheon.
The second thing that strikes us about this passage is Hawthorne's little jab at "the old maid's heart." The dusty, unused state of the room before Phoebe gets to it becomes yet another symbol of Hepzibah, who is caught up in "ghosts and ghostly reminiscences." The contrast Hawthorne builds between the two women could not be more stark: Phoebe is fresh and young while Hepzibah is dried-up and old. We think this is a bit cruel toward Hepzibah, frankly. How do you feel about Hawthorne's depiction of her? What can her character tell us about his views on womanhood and the role of women in society?

The study by Berg and colleagues1 published in this issue of JAMA addresses important clinical questions: What is the additional cancer diagnosis yield of screening ultrasound in women at increased risk of breast cancer, and what are the "costs" of such strategies in terms of false-positive diagnoses. The design of this American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) trial, from the multi-institutional setting to source documentation and independent data analysis, is excellent from every aspect. This study and several other previously published trials2- 4 demonstrate how important it is to have institutions like ACRIN sponsor and help organize prospective clinical trials that follow good clinical practice in the world of diagnostic imaging, which, unlike clinical research in the therapeutic sector, has to proceed without the financial support and scientific infrastructure usually provided by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.

Steel Wool & Vinegar Stain
For Aging Wood
Supplies needed:
Sealable nonmetal container
Steel wool pad
Pint of plain vinegar (for gray color) or
cider vinegar (for rusty gray)
Coffee filters
Paper towels
In a sealed, nonmetal container, soak a steel wool pad in a pint of plain vinegar (for gray color) or cider vinegar (for rusty gray) for a few days or a week, stirring occasionally. Remove the steel wool and discard; strain the solution through coffee filters or paper towels and store in the original vinegar bottle or other tightly sealable nonmetal container. Test it on unfinished wood; the color is not immediately apparent but will darken over several minutes. Color will be different on different woods. Solution may be diluted (extended) with distilled water.
To use, protect skin, clothing and the work area from spills and splashes; it will stain everything. Plan an absorbent surface such as unprinted newsprint (often used as packing paper) or paper towels to spread out the stained items as they dry. Allowing the solution to dry on the surface, uncovered, creates a mottled finish; covering the wet items with another absorbent layer to blot the solution away gives more even color. Layering items with paper in between is OK. Pour the solution into a container large enough to completely submerge the items you want to stain; recycling a plastic bakery sheet-cake dome works well. Use tongs or wear gloves. Working fairly quickly, submerge the items (several at a time is fine) then move them to the drying area. The color will develop over several minutes and will be different where there are puddles and drips, which can look interesting. Cover with absorbent and blot for more even overall color. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Unused solution may be put back in the bottle and stored for later use.
If using on assembled but unfinished items, the color will take in glued areas; the glued joints may loosen while the solution is wet but will harden again as it dries.

A Buffalo woman is under treatment at Buffalo General Hospital after the violent miscarriage she suffered at the hands of an Earl Street man, Buffalo police reported Tuesday.
Jaquan T. Williams, 19, was charged with first-degree abortion after the alleged early evening assault on the pregnant woman near his home several days ago, police said.
Williams is accused of causing the woman to suffer what police described a spontaneous miscarriage by allegedly repeatedly kneeing and punching her in the stomach during an argument, police said. Williams also was charged with third-degree assault, harassment and child endangerment. He allegedly beat the pregnant woman while she was holding her 1-year-old son and then stole her cellphone.
The woman's condition was unavailable Tuesday night.

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine
Parish Development Working Group
Added on 19/03/2014
The Central Communication Board's annual Magazine, Website and Social Media Competition is now open and invites entries within each category (details below) from Church of Ireland parishes, dioceses and associated organisations as well as individuals whose social media activity clearly relates to Church activity/outreach/witness. Quality of presentation, strength of content and outreach potential are once again to be the standards of excellence against which entries will be judged. The closing date is Friday 11 April 2014. Winners will be announced at the General Synod in Christ Church Cathedral Dublin, 8–10 May 2014.
Parish and Diocesan magazines are important for the exchange of news and views across Church communities and printed media continues to play a vital role within the life of the Church of Ireland. In addition, websites are now firmly established as vehicles which allow the wider community to know about and participate in the life of the Church of Ireland, whether in parishes, dioceses or organisations, as well as helping 'internal communications' by providing the hub for information and enabling increasing interaction. Beyond this, social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, E–zines, Flickr, along with Vimeo and YouTube video content and blogs have created two–way platforms for communications, providing a potentially vast audience and offering innovative ways to assist in the Church's ministry. Within the Church of Ireland there are good examples of how all these various forms of communication are being used to build Christian community and communicate the Christian faith. This competition is an opportunity to learn what others are doing, to showcase good work and to join in.
CCB Chairman, the Rt Revd Trevor Williams, says: 'Progress is only possible with good communication. Without it confusion and disintegration are inevitable. As a Church, those who assist our communications assist us in living as the Body of Christ. Communications is a ministry we value and want to develop. This competition is more than finding winners. The intention of this competition is to learn from one another, to encourage more people to get involved, and to express our gratitude to all who serve the Church so faithfully in the ministry of communication. Be part of the Church of Ireland Communication community, and send in your entry.'
In the Magazine section entries are invited in three print media categories:
• Diocesan Magazine
• Parish Magazine/Newsletter
• Church of Ireland affiliated organisation Magazine/Newsletter
In the Website section entries are invited in three categories:
• Diocesan Website
• Parish Website
• Church of Ireland affiliated organisation Website
In the Social Media and Blogs section, two categories:
• Most innovative use of social media e.g. Facebook, Twitter, E–bulletin etc
• Most engaging Blog
Entries are welcome from any committee or group associated with the Church of Ireland.
Please obtain an entry form for Magazines, Websites, and Social Media categories from Jenny Compston, Church of Ireland Press Office (by email: email@example.com or phone: from NI 028 9082 8880, from RoI 048 9082 8880) and send entries as follows:
N.B. Magazines and Newsletters – one recent copy – must be sent in hard copy with entry form to Jenny Compston, Press Office, Church of Ireland House, 61–67 Donegall St, Belfast, BT 1 2QH, Northern Ireland.

PHILADELPHIA — It would be too easy, too simple for the Astros to score two runs against a team that hasn't scored at all lately. The Astros and Phillies dragged a 2-1 Astros loss 15 innings on Tuesday, finally sending home the few remaining fans at Citizens Bank Park home at a quarter past midnight, east coast time.
Ryan Howard, whose home run 13 innings earlier accounted for the Phillies' only other run, hit a two-out, two-strike single to right field, plating Grady Sizemore from second base with the winning run. Right fielder Robbie Grossman had little chance for a play at the plate.
The game had been tied at 1 since the seventh inning, when Jon Singleton's RBI-single knotted it up.
The game's five-hour, five-minute length shouldn't be falsely attributed to brilliant pitching, although Astros long reliever Jake Buchanan did a strong job in long relief — even in a loss. Buchanan threw 69 pitches in 3 2/3 innings.
"First three innings were zeroes, that's what I tried to go out and do," Buchanan said. "The last one didn't — they scored a run. So, ball game.
"I figured that once I was going in that I was there for the long haul. Just try to throw up zeroes as long as possible."
Sizemore's leadoff single and a sac bunt set up the winning play. The Astros didn't record a hit and had only one walk from the 11th inning on.
The last time the Astros played a game this long innings-wise coincidentally came in this same ballpark. The Astros won 4-2 over the Phillies on Aug. 24, 2010. Howard was ejected in the 14th inning that night, leading Roy Oswalt to become the first Phillies pitcher to play a position in the field in 39 years, left field.
The Astros hadn't used their closer, Chad Qualls, or hard thrower Mike Foltynewicz, when Howard stepped to the plate in the 15th on Wednesday.
Tuesday was the first time the Astros played beyond the 12th inning this season. The Phillies, however, have been here before: four times previously this season, they went 14 innings. They had yet to reach 15 innings.
"It's a tough loss," said Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez, who struck out with two on and two down in the ninth inning against Jonathan Papelbon. "Keuchel threw great and the bullpen threw great and we just couldn't get those runs."
The Astros entered the night with three straight wins. The Phillies, meanwhile, hadn't scored a run in 21 consecutive innings. Now they have two in their last 36 innings.
In the seventh inning, Singleton took some revenge on the team that traded him with an RBI-single that tied it at 1. Phillies righthander Kyle Kendrick ran into trouble from the start of the frame, walking leadoff man Chris Carter on four straight pitches after a first-pitch strike. Jason Castro singled, bringing up Singleton.
Howard in the second inning took a 2-2 breaking ball from Dallas Keuchel out to left-center, helped by the Howard-friendly fences at Citizens Bank Park.
All year, Keuchel has minimized home runs, more than halving the amount he gives up on average: .5 per nine innings this year, compared to 1.2 last year.
Kendrick was perfect through the first 10 batters of the game before Grossman singled. The Astros didn't have two men on base inside a single inning until the seventh.
Keuchel was every bit as good Kendrick, and the pitchers finished with nearly identical lines: seven innings, five hits, one walk and one run allowed.
Keuchel's five strikeouts bested Kendrick's four. Keuchel is on a roll since a dicey start to the second half: in his last three starts, he's allowed a combined two runs in 23 innings (0.78 ERA).
"I left a slider a little bit up," Keuchel said. "He's a strong guy. … That was kind of the only blemish. "Great job by the bullpen to come into today and put up a bunch of zeroes. I can't say enough about those guys."
Through the first four innings, Keuchel allowed just one other hit besides the Howard long ball.
The southpaw's first real jam brewed in the fifth inning, with two in scoring position with two out for Jimmy Rollins. The veteran shortstop bounded one up the middle that went through Keuchel's legs, but the Astros were positioned well, close to the bag. Jose Altuve had plenty of time for the inning-ending throw to first.
His power was helpful early, but Howard's speed was detrimental in what can most accurately be referred to as the middle innings. He hit into one double play in the sixth inning, and another in the eighth. The latter was an inning-ending double play that prompted Tony Sipp to punch the air as he walked off the mound, the tie still intact.

Charity marks true meaning of Christmas in Castlegregory
Published 19/12/2012 | 21:02
'CHARITY begins at home' goes the old adage and the kind-hearted students of Castlegregory's Meán Scoil Nua an Leith-Triúigh are leading by example in this regard, having raised over €2,300 for charity over the past couple of months.
Last week, the philanthropic students presented Castlegregory representatives of the St Vincent de Paul Society with €362, which they had raised through a cake sale hosted on November 20 with the encouragement and support of their Eacnamaíocht Baile teacher, Máire Nic Gearailt. Another €362, also raised through the cake sale, has been donated to Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Earlier in the year, the students also managed to raise €1,620 through their participation in the MS Readathon, which supports people living with Multiple Sclerosis.
All told, Meán Scoil Nua an Leith-Triúigh students have raised €2,344 for charity over the past few months, which is no mean feat. Gourth year students at the school are now hoping that local people will support their Christmas Card drive. The cards are available in packs of ten for €6 in local shops and the proceeds will go towards cancer research.
Príomhoide of Meán Scoil Nua an Leith-Triúigh Aodán MacGearailt paid tribute to the students and the teachers for their efforts over the past few months, adding that they are looking forward to undertaking new fundraising initiatives in the
coming year.

The Fabulous Lipitones Chapter One by Bill Murphey
Posted on January 5, 2013
Hi, I'm Bill Murphey. I'm in the cast of the upcoming Theatrical Outfit production of The Fabulous Lipitones, and have been invited to keep an online production journal. The hope is that you'll get a better idea just how the finished product you'll see onstage in March and April, got there. I'll try to keep it entertaining, but if there are difficulties along the way I'll mention those, too. Because, frankly, that's the fun stuff, isn't it?
If you've spent much time at the Outfit, you've probably seen me a time or two. I was first cast by director Joe Gfaller in The God Committee. Since then, I've been in The Chase, Driving Miss Daisy, A Lesson Before Dying, Around the World in 80 Days, A Confederacy of Dunces and, most recently, Two Drink Minimum. The one thing those shows have in common is that I didn't sing in any of them. That's all about to change. Last fall I had the privilege of directing Our Town for The Renaissance Project, and kept hearing, "I didn't know you direct!" Since getting cast in this show, it's "I didn't know you sing!" Well... we're about to find out. I'm very grateful to director Justin Anderson and musical director Michael Monroe for taking this chance with me, and I look forward to getting started. There is much work to do.
That's probably enough for now. I'll be back soon to get us all caught up on everything that's gone on so far – everything that I have knowledge of, anyway... I'm not kept in the loop on everything, of course. Though I think I should be. I hope your new year is off to a great start!

Boulder residents John Bodnar and Amy Sobel are throwing Ragin' on the Rio Music, Yoga & Camping Festival set in the middle of the beautiful mountains and right along the Colorado River, September 7-9. The festival will be held at Rancho del Rio in Bond.Sobel and Bodnar, as co-executive producers of the festival, promise a weekend of great local music, yoga, community, fundraising and camping on an intimate setting in the Rockies. The line up is a combination of funk, jam and bluegrass fusion bands; a dance party all weekend long.An important focus of the festival is giving back to the community. Ragin' is working with the nonprofit Imagine Yoga Project, whose mission is to bring yoga and other holistic healing to families of low to no income. During the weekend there will be five yoga classes, and any donations made will be given to Imagine Yoga Project."We wanted a small, Colorado-focused, local festival that could bring together the magic of the mountains with great music from local musicians," Bodnar said. Sobel and Bodnar have spent much of the past four years living on the road and working for Clean Vibes, a green team that picks up trash and recycling at music festivals. They currently reside in Boulder.Additional Information on the Imagine Yoga Project and its mission can be found at www.theimagineyogaproject.org.

Dust and shifting AUG 12 2009
I've made some little tweaks to kottke.org here and there. One little tweak was to the RSS feed...I've shored it up and moved to an Atom format. Aside from 40 unread duplicate entries flooding your feed reader (sorry, it's a one time thing1), you shouldn't notice a thing. Bug reports and feedback welcome.
[1] Oddly, Google Reader hiccuped this morning and spit out 40 unread duplicate entries for the kottke.org feed...before I even modified anything (i.e. not my fault). So a double apology to GR users. I hope this is the end of our Long National Unread Duplicate Entries Nightmare. ↩

Joint Concentration Options
Students can combine the MPH in Global Health with a number of other concentrations, allowing them to expand their knowledge in both areas. A joint concentration degree combines the competencies of each concentration. The joint concentration options for Global Health are Epidemiology, Environmental and Occupational Health and Maternal Child Health. These degrees require 54 credit hours for completion.
Competency-Based Education
Competencies are student outcomes - both knowledge and skills - that are specific to the degree and to the area of study. They reflect the knowledge and skills that we strive to develop in our students and form the basis of our evaluation of each student's achievement. For the MPH, there is a set of core competencies and set of discipline-specific competencies that guide the development of the curriculum. The competency sets are developed with input from current public health practitioners, our alumni, our faculty and our students to reflect current and future needs of the profession.

Students in the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program are required to complete a practice experience (internship) with an approved community health organization and preceptor. This 320-hour experience is designed to enhance students' educational experiences and promote professional competence in Epidemiology.
Internships in this concentration might involve the following activities: performing or assisting with cluster and outbreak investigations, community needs assessments, analysis and validation of existing data sets, and field research in order to study the spread, prevention and control of chronic and infectious disease and disease conditions in a community or a group of persons. Examples of organizations that have sponsored internships include: BJC HealthCare, Pan American Health Organization, and St. Louis Integrated Health Network.
The Master of Public Health with a concentration in Global Health prefers applicants to have a bachelor's degree in a social science, biomedical science, or a closely related field. Documented working proficiency in both English and in a second language is required to complete the MPH in Global Health. Students who must improve their language skills to meet these requirements will be provided guidance on how to find opportunities to improve their foreign language skills.

The Kroger Company is an American retailer founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It reported $96.8 billion in sales for fiscal year 2012. It is the country's largest grocery store chain, its second-largest general retailer by revenue, and fourth-largest retailer in the world (surpassing Germany-based Metro AG in 2012), according to Deloitte. As of 2010, Kroger operated, either directly or through its subsidiaries, 3,574 stores.
It maintains markets in 31 states.
On July 9th, 2013, Kroger announced its acquisition of the 212 stores of North Carolina-based Harris Teeter in a deal valued at $2.5 billion and assume $100 million in the company's outstanding debt. Harris-Teeter's stores are in eight Southern states, with a major portion of them in its headquarters state of North Carolina. Doing so, Kroger acquired Harris Teeter's click and collect program which allows online ordering of groceries. Some industry experts see this as a competitive move against online grocers such as AmazonFresh.

Jones is money! HFG

Data capture is one of the most useful application for the purpose of data and at times for the data capture to work properly, the person needs to ensure that the exact inputs had been entered which as a result would allows the users to directly access that data that they need at that specific time. This allows the people to easily enhance the performance of the system which as a result allows people to capture more of the data effectively and efficiently.
Data capture is one of the computer based application where the entire data is entered on the computer electronically and sometime the data capture activities are also used in the scanning of the bar codes where the system reads the bar code of the particular product and then the exact information is entered there. The data capture had been used to provide different benefits to the people but the major benefit that can be utilized by the people is based on the graphical user interface for the purpose if entering the data into computer. Moreover the information that had been entered into the computer must make sure that the data checker must be applied to make sure that the validation of the data takes place.
On the other hand the entire data had been collected must be used so that the analysis of the data can be carried out easily through the help of certain tools that had been designed for it. Moreover data capture had been used by people on a larger scale and this process makes it easy for the person to find out exactly that what sort of data is entered and what is the trend of the data. This service is being used by some of the companies. The accuracy of the data is also enhanced when the data is captured at a larger pace rate.

Already did that. Samba 4 currently supports ncacn_ip_tcp, ncacn_np,

"ncalrpc:[EPMAPPER]", "ncacn_unix_stream:[/tmp/epmapper]

Which interfaces are you referring to here - ncacn_unix_stream and
ncalrpc ?
What is their difference, other then that they are two different transports?

I have been hearing lots of grumbling about a lack of sales on Etsy.
This is traditionally a very slow time for retail. Doesn't matter if it is online sales, box store sales or even real estate sales. Most people are in recovery mode from the holidays and getting ready to file their taxes.
There is always that spurt of sales the first and second week of Jan as people who got cash or gift cards for Christmas spend them. After that it will be pretty slow until after tax time.
Once people start getting their tax refunds watch out! That is when you will see a spike in sales again. I see it every year in everything I sell whether that be ponies, books, jam or crafts.
Use this slow time to get organized, plan your 2012 craft shows, order supplies, come up with new designs or books.
Honestly this time of year is usually a relief to me as I am filing my own taxes and catching my breath from Christmas and first and second week Jan sales.
I am finishing my next miniature horse e-book, planning crafts shows and farmers markets for my jam and just basically getting my life together before it all turns to chaos again. This includes updating all of my websites.
Finish up all those things you have been putting off because you were "too busy."
I even found a much cheaper supply for my jam labels yesterday during my down time. This nice little find will increase my jam profits by 10 cents per jar. Which is a huge deal over hundreds of jars of jam.
Also if you have an Etsy store this is the time to tweak your titles, tags and descriptions and get that SEO working for you.

Major Bayou Lafourche cleanup seeks volunteers
Published: Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 7:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 6, 2012 at 10:14 p.m.
A local environmental agency aims to make Bayou Lafourche sparkle from Ascension to south Lafourche, but it needs your help.
The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is launching a massive effort to clean up Bayou Lafourche in March. The cleanup aims to recruit 22 to 25 teams to clean 106 miles of bayou from Donaldsonville to Larose.
The first planning meeting is scheduled for 5:30-7 p.m. Jan. 18 in the Plantation Room in Nicholls State University's Student Union.
The cleanup is scheduled for March 31. The estuary program will provide gloves, drinks, snacks and T-shirts.
More than 20 volunteer team captains are needed to lead cleanups at different bayou sites. The cleanup will be done mostly from boats, but student groups will also clean in areas around bridges where law enforcement can be posted to protect volunteers from traffic.
"We're hoping to get businesses and community groups involved," Robichaux said.
Dumping in Bayou Lafourche — the source of drinking water for most of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes — has been a problem in recent years, said Alma Robichaux, education coordinator at the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program.
During the agency's Paddle Lafourche event last year, a four-day canoe trip down Bayou Lafourche, paddlers put out nets to catch debris and were amazed at the garbage they found.
A cleanup project by Nicholls' Biology Department recently removed as many as 3,000 plastic bottles from the bayou, as well as large debris such as whole lawn mowers. Garbage is an eyesore and can help clog the bayou, she said.
"Bayou Lafourche has been known as a dump for so long. We want to make people aware that it's an important resource worth protecting," Robichaux said.
Keep Louisiana Beautiful, a statewide nonprofit, gave the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program a $9,000 grant to help pay for the cleanup.
"Our goal is for the state to become as clean as we think it is beautiful," said Keep Louisiana Beautiful Director Leigh Harris. "It has to happen by folks taking personal responsibility. It's about changing our culture."
Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District Manager Archie Chaisson said much of the garbage that makes its way into the waterway washes down from drainage ditches. He said the cleanup will do a lot to help the aesthetics of the bayou.
"I hope it catches on like the beach sweeps," Chaisson said. "They can do remarkable work."
If you're interested in volunteering to work as a site captain to lead one of the cleanup teams, contact Robichaux at 855-8255 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also call the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program office in Thibodaux at 447-0868.
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or email@example.com.

Floods Kill Five in Vietnam as Tropical Storm Approaches
By Vu Trong Khanh
HANOI–Flash floods triggered by heavy rain have killed at least five people in northern Vietnam since the weekend, with more rain expected as a tropical storm in the South China Sea heads toward the Southeast Asian country.
Tropical storm Jebi is expected to pass China's Hainan province and make landfall in northeastern provinces of Vietnam on Saturday, according to Bui Minh Tang, head of the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
"Rains have temporarily subsided now, but [Jebi] … is expected to bring more rains," he said. "People should watch out for more flash floods."
Before gaining strength to become a tropical storm, Jebi was initially a tropical cyclone that triggered heavy rains in the Philippines but no reported casualties. According to Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau, Jebi will make landfall in China's Hainan Island before hitting Vietnam.
In the Philippines, the then-cyclone triggered some landslides, damaged a bridge, and forced some air flights and classes to be canceled, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's website reported.
The flash floods in Vietnam since the weekend have damaged 226 houses, killed 143 cattle and destroyed 3,762 hectares of cash crops, the Central Committee for Flood and Storm Control said in a statement.
Jebi, with wind speeds of up to 74 kilometers an hour, was 430 kilometers southeast of Paracel Islands at 0300 GMT, and was moving west-northwest as it was gaining speed, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
With a coastline of over 3,000 kilometers, Vietnam is hit by about a dozen tropical storms each year. Storms and floods last year killed 258 people in Vietnam, up from 234 people in 2011.
Of those who have been killed by the recent flash floods, two were in Son La province, and one each in Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Dien Bien provinces, where the rainfall has been ranging between 152 millimeters and 266 millimeters, the Central Committee for Flood and Storm Control said.
"Two men in my province, aged 44 and 20, were washed away by flood water when they were trying to cross a small river on Monday," said Cam Tan, the deputy head of Son La province's flood and storm response department.
Meanwhile, a 47-year-old woman in Yen Bai province was missing and seven other people were injured, including four in Yen Bai, two in Son La and one in Dien Bien, the flood control committee said.

Bob Dylan made headlines last week when, in an interview with Rolling Stone about his new album Tempest (download here for only 5 bucks), he seemed to lash out at critics who have accused him of plagiarism.
"In folk and jazz, quotation is a rich and enriching tradition," the interviewer said. "But some critics say that you didn't cite your sources clearly. What's your response to those kinds of charges?"
While online writers gabbled and jabbered about Dylan's ire, nary a word was spoken about another far-more provocative phrase in that interview: "our Lord."
"You have to read him as a spiritual poet," Barron says. "You can read him politically, you can read him as a culture commentator, all that is right. But I think ultimately the best way to read him is as a spiritual teacher...All throughout his career, from beginning to right now, the Bible has been the dominant influence."
"In his house in Woodstock today, there's a huge Bible open on a stand in the middle of his study. Of all the books that crowd his house, overflow from his house, that Bible gets the most attention. He's continuously getting up and going over to refer to something."
"Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else. Songs like 'Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain' or 'I Saw the Light' - that's my religion. I don't adhere to rabbis, preachers, evangelists, all of that. I've learned more from the songs than I've learned from any of this kind of entity. The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs." So music is Dylan's religion - and how many would be pleased to have him leave it at that?
So who is right? Is Gilmour right that Dylan's God is a "vague Other" not rooted in any one spiritual tradition, or is Barron right that Dylan is a Biblical thinker? Is his religious "character" as multivalent and elusive as the Bob Dylans of I'm Not There, or is there one particular world view that he prizes?
Recent years have proved illuminating on this question. In a 2008 interview with 60 Minutes, he talked about upholding a bargain with the "chief commander...on this earth and in the world we can't see":
The religious "lexicon" of Dylan's songs would not be tempered with the arrival of 2012's Tempest; in addition to referencing "our Lord" in Rolling Stone, Dr. A T Bradford (who penned Dylan, Depression and Faith two years ago) has noted that a handful of lyrics from Dylan's latest album bear witness to a continued reliance on Judeo-Christian ideas:
"Duquesne Whistle":
Dylan himself admits that this spiritual tenor of the album is no mistake. "I wanted to make something more religious," he also said in Rolling Stone. "I just didn't have enough [religious songs]. Intentionally, specifically religious songs is what I wanted to do. That takes a lot more concentration to pull that off 10 times with the same thread – than it does with a record like I ended up with."
Now, of course, this is not Saved or Slow Train Coming - the lyrics stop short of zeal or evangelism. There is no explicit endorsement of faith, or even the mildest suggestion that Dylan buys into a religious program wholesale. In fact, if you look at the album on its own grounds, these lyrics could even be interpreted as mere symbolic vehicles, summoning a secular humanism through the religion of music (although, cozying up to the poetry and power of these images seems like a defeat for a transcendent experience that presumes to move "beyond" classical religiosity).
The evidence is overwhelming that Fr. Barron is spot on. Judeo-Christianity and the Bible have been - and still are - the epicenter of the whole of Dylan's musical work, the window through which he looks out at the world and rearranges it into political protests or mystical poetics. This isn't an interpretative matter subject to subjective tilt. It isn't the mystery of "Ballad of a Thin Man," which the Black Panthers took to be about "the black struggle in white society," journalist Jeffrey Jones took to be about himself, and Dylan insisted was about everybody's own "Mr. Jones." It isn't a personal opinion: Dylan has consistently been unable to shake the drama of Judeo-Christian thought. And perhaps that's because he doesn't want to.
Is this just a testament to the stranglehold religion has held on the West's imagination for so many centuries? Or does it suggest a conscious return to that wise old portrait of mankind lead by one of our most daring poets? Is it the last gasps of an anachronistic religious system in post-modernity, or the inexhaustible breath of eternity still beckoning?
Whatever its origin or destination, Dylan's religious memory persists. It keeps pressing on. And so does ours.

Start-Ups At Internet Retail Show Grab Hold Of Recession
The nation may be in a recession but ClearSaleing Inc., a developer of analytics software for online advertising, is hardly waiting out the storm.
Like several other venture-backed companies at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Boston, the Columbus, Ohio, start-up thinks this is a good time to make its mark in e-commerce. The three-year-old company, backed by NCT Ventures and Ohio TechAngels Fund, has seen its revenue grow every month and has increased its marketing budget ten-fold this year, said Adam Goldberg, ClearSaleing co-founder and chief innovation officer.
"Good economy, bad economy, we have a great story to tell," he said.
MyBuys Inc., another venture-backed company among the some 350 exhibitors at the four-day Internet Retailer show this week, sees online retailing as a bright spot in the economy as consumers go online looking for bargains. The Redwood City, Calif., company sells software that provides recommendations to consumers based on their online behavior. It recently closed on $7 million in additional financing from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Palomar Ventures and has added more than 30 new retail customers this year, for a total of more than 120, including Wine Enthusiast and Restoration Hardware.
Last year MyBuys increased its revenue fivefold and it expects to do at least as well this year, said Lisa Joy Rosner, vice president of marketing. "We're very close to profitability – within quarters," she said.
"Recessions can be good," said Neal Creighton, president and chief executive of RatePoint Inc., a Needham, Mass., company backed by .406 Ventures, Castile Ventures and Prism VentureWorks. Creighton said this is a good time for his company to sell its software, which helps small businesses manage their online reputations and customer communications, because its product does more and costs less than its competitors'.
He draws from the experience of his prior company, GeoTrust Inc., which challenged Verisign Inc. successfully during the 2001 recession and was eventually acquired by its competitor. "It was a really good time to build a company in markets where people are charging a premium," Creighton said.
"Our biggest issue is awareness," he said. To overcome this, RatePoint uses technology to identify and market directly to customers of competitors such as publicly traded Constant Contact Inc. RatePoint also looks to attach its logo to everything its customers' own customers send out. "If you can turn your customers into your own marketing agent, that's an extremely effective way to get your brand out there," Creighton said.

How can I get a library card?
The public library in the town where you live, work or study can provide you with a library card. Usually there is no charge for a library card. (Non-residents of Massachusetts and lost-card replacements may be exceptions.) Each library has its own procedures for giving out cards. Most libraries require you to provide some form of identification or proof of residency to obtain a card.
Does my library have free Internet or WiFi access?
Almost all of the 370 public libraries in Massachusetts have public computers with Internet access. Over 250 public libraries and 50 branches offer WiFi Internet access. Use the search tools on this Web site to find a library near you with WiFi Internet. It is a good idea to check the library's Web site for its Internet use policies and procedures.
How do I find a book, CD or DVD online?
Use the Virtual Catalog to search for books, audio books, CDs, DVDs, E-Books and downloadable music in hundreds of Massachusetts libraries, including 90% of public libraries, the University of Massachusetts system, state and community colleges. If you have a library card, you may be able to request that the item be delivered to your local public library for pickup. Some libraries may also require a PIN. If you cannot find the item, ask your local library to locate a copy for you. Libraries regularly borrow from all over the country, and the world.
How do I find a magazine or newspaper articleonline?
It's easy! From anywhere you have Internet access, search our Virtual Resources using your library card number.
In Massachusetts Newsstand you will find full-text articles from the most recent AND back issues of 12 Massachusetts newspapers including The Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
In PowerSearch you will find full-text articles from your favorite magazines, scholarly journals, newsletters and reference books, including Time, Newsweek, Consumer Reports, Science News, Forbes, the Harvard Health Letter, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Ranger Rick, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New York Times and Fodor's Travel Guide, and National Public Radio transcripts to name a few.
If you can't find the full text online and you have the article title, author and date, ask your local librarian to place an interlibrary loan request for the item.
Can I borrow from other libraries in Massachusetts?
Yes, in most cases, residents of Massachusetts can borrow from any public library in the state. If your library is a member of a larger library network (e.g., Minuteman, C/WMars, etc.), you can use your library card to borrow materials at any other library in that network. Otherwise, you may be required to register at the new library when you go to check out your material. Your local library can also borrow materials from other libraries for you.
Can I return items at any library?
If you borrow items from one library you may be able to return them to another. Please check with the library at which you intend to return the material. There is a statewide delivery system that moves materials between libraries, but it is the local library's policy which determines whether they will accept the material from you. If the book is due within the next day or so, you may want to return it directly to the library that lent it to you. Overdue charges may be assessed while the material is in transit.
How can I renew a title I've borrowed online?
If you have taken out material from a particular library or network, you can often renew online through that network's online catalog. You will need your library card number, and a PIN. Your library can tell you how to obtain a PIN. Some libraries may not yet have this capability. In which case, you can usually call your library and renew over the phone.
How can I find a program which will help an adult or someone who does not speak English well learn to read and write better?
Check out Massachusetts Libraries Providing Literacy/ESOL Programs for a list of library literacy programs or contact the Massachusetts Adult Literacy Hotline at 1-800-447-8844.
What accessibility options are available to me?
The Talking Books Program can provide you with information for the Perkins School and Worcester Talking Books Library. Libraries throughout Massachusetts have a wide variety of resources which make the library and its collections and services available to people with disabilities. The Massachusetts Library Accessibility Search allows you to search for a specific accessibility solution (e.g., a Kurzweil 1000 Reader).
