And, we're back in 3…2…1: Happy August! After a few crazy months book-ended by the most extensive product release in OpenText history and a truly insightful, inspiring week at Enterprise World 2016, I've been able to make the most of a nice vacation and reflect a bit on how our annual flagship event both summarized and expanded on the happenings of the first half of the year. Interest in the Cloud is Exploding While it's no secret that the cloud is becoming a priority for many organizations, I was amazed to see just how much interest in it had mushroomed from last Enterprise World to this one. Cloud-based breakout sessions such as Enterprise Managed Services in the OpenText Cloud and Top Questions you need to ask when Upgrading ECM to the Cloud were standing room only in Nashville. A marked increase from last year and a remarkable progression from two years ago when cloud breakouts were more of a curiosity than a must-see. My main observation from talking with the attendees at this year's cloud-focused sessions? It's clear that, while many organizations are still just getting their feet wet, most see an ECM future that involves fully harnessing the power of cloud-based solutions. Furthermore, the current and proposed use cases I had the pleasure of hearing about are as endless as, well, a cloud-dotted sky. Organizations are utilizing the cloud to focus on everything from the tactical—freeing up ECM administration resources—to enterprise-level strategic initiatives designed to push innovation on new business solutions. It was also noteworthy that these discussions were consistently peppered with the sort of benefit statements CFOs like to hear; things like lowering capital costs and shifting to more economical SaaS-structured payment models. The cloud devotees have really been doing their homework! Re-Thinking ECM is Definitely a "Thing" The role of ECM is changing and organizations are successfully shifting to viewing ECM in a new light. This year, I had strikingly fewer discussions devoted to traditional ECM terms like storage, compliance, governance, and records management. Customer emphasis is now on how to best elevate ECM solutions to enhance productivity for processes and people. Optimal governance is just expected. My take on this: ECM has matured and many organizations are comfortable with the baseline management of the content currently under the purview of their ECM platforms. Existing ECM implementations are doing their job storing content and ensuring that information is following the appropriate governance path throughout its lifecycle. The general feeling is, that's fine, but not enough. Most of the customers that I spoke to are now looking for ECM to do more as they target digital transformation in a post-analog world. The reasons? They're bang-on in envisioning a new competitive and customer service landscape where ALL the digital data in an organization has to be easily accessible to play a symbiotic role in success. And they're not exactly eager to approach the powers that be with capital requests for new platforms and technologies to try and achieve it. Hence, questions revolved around accomplishing this by extending the reach of their tried-and-true ECM platforms further into business processes and collaborative activities. At times I felt like a hi-tech relationship counsellor as discussions delved into methods to facilitate better communication between Oracle and Salesforce or why it's critical for structured and unstructured information to come together to contribute to a common goal. Bottom line: all this, and much more, is possible with new advances in ECM capabilities. We can show you how. Of course, Enterprise World made for the perfect forum to host these discussions. A host of product experts, customer roundtables, demo pods, and over 200 breakout sessions provided ample opportunity to gain a better understanding of extending the value of ECM to transform your organization. If you couldn't make it, we've got that covered, too. Kick off your journey into re-thinking the role of ECM while exploring the possibilities.Read More
Engaging With Manufacturing Customers at Enterprise World 2016
Well, has it really been two weeks since I attended the best customer conference event I have ever attended? That's Enterprise World in Nashville where over 2,000 like-minded people came together. It really was a great event. Having only been in the company for 5 months it really accelerated my learning curve on so many levels. But for me the most important thing was connection; putting a face and a handshake to people who have "virtually" been so helpful to me since I joined, and even more so, the chance to meet so many dedicated manufacturing customers from around the world who have invested in being with OpenText. When companies like ours come together with their customers on any level, but particularly, at a face-to-face level it creates a powerful and empowering partnership. In pursuit of that the Industry Strategists at OpenText organized an Industry Group session for customers to connect, engage, and follow-up on Enterprise Information Management themes, in my case, around the manufacturing sector. So how did my first session go? Good considering I had to follow the best keynote I have ever heard, Commander Chris Hadfield, an inspirational speaker, and then there was lunch. So, many thanks to the customers and partners who attended the session. From the start I wanted to promote our manufacturing group as customer-centric so I suggested some topics for consideration: The manufacturing user group meeting should be a meeting between customers and for customers It should provide an opportunity to build a community for connection, engagement and follow up It should meet in person a minimum of once a year at Enterprise World as well as "virtually" at other times The group should offer the chance to develop working relationships The meeting should provide a platform to kick off next steps for the year ahead And provide the opportunity for customers to present and share the business themes they are addressing with OpenText solutions The session was very productive with interesting discussions. Consensus was that the people in the room would like a forum on which to communicate amongst themselves and OpenText. The customers suggested a good, ready-made and already popular platform could be a Linkedin Group. And if you are thinking Connect, Engage, and follow-up it was a great idea. So OpenText in Manufacturing is about to happen! If interested please contact me at email@example.com so you can be part of it from the very beginning – I hope you will join us.Read More
Nashville Notes – Impressions of my First Enterprise World
I've been to Nashville several times before, but never for an event like this. It had everything from Country Singers to an Astronaut – and some great business and technology as well. Welcome to OpenText Enterprise World! On the second day of Enterprise World, someone described it to me as "overwhelming," and so it was on some levels. There was simply so much to choose from. Over two hundred breakout sessions ranging from business strategy, to software practioner how-to tips,through to developer sessions that got down to the code level. Alongside were six themed theaters on the main Expo floor each running fifteen minute presentations on an equally wide range of subjects. Plus an Innovation Lab, a Developers Lab, Customer Roundtables, and over forty demo stations; it was a lot to take in. Whether you are a long time OpenText customer, a recent customer going through systems implementation, or a prospective customer – there was something for everyone. And as a relatively new staff member there was a lot for me to take in too; but I couldn't have asked for a better immersion on the company's culture, customers, staff, solutions, and products. Everyone I spoke to had a good time. Despite its size and apparent complexity the event ran very smoothly, and all were happy with the experience. Experience was the framework around which my week at Enterprise World was structured as I was managing the Experience Theater for the Customer Experience Management team. We had a steady flow of visitors to the theater to discuss a variety of subjects, and to take a look at the various product demonstrations available. It was interesting to note that most of the conversations were about solving business problems, and how to move towards delivering a continuous customer experience driven by digital transformation initiatives and projects. The changing nature of business was also highlighted in the opening keynote from OpenText CEO Mark Barrenechea as he described the journey from Engagement to Insight across the enterprise. Engagement | Capture | Content | Process | Collaboration | Discover | Exchange | Insight This concept clearly resonated with the audience at Enterprise World and is one I'll be revisiting in future blog posts on how delivering an exceptional customer experience can drive the journey towards better customer and business insight. If you couldn't make it to Nashville this year, make a note on your calendars for the week of July 10, 2017 and join us in Toronto next year for what promises to be another exceptional conference.Read More

OpenText Magellan—The Next Generation of Cognitive
OpenText is shaping the future of information with Magellan, our next-generation cognitive platform. Magellan integrates visualization, voice, video, search, text, natural language processing, and semantic and numeric engines. It is cognitive democratized because it is easy to program, affordable and highly accessible, giving our customers access to Apache Spark's more than 1,000 open algorithms developed by some of the greatest minds in the world. Introducing Magellan at Enterprise World Magellan leverages Apache Spark for open algorithms, and machine learning to help our customers harness the value of their information. It is an open platform built on open standards like HTML5, Java, SQL, and Hadoop. Developers will be able to build on this platform to expand its rich ecosystem. Because it is built on open standards, Magellan is embeddable, offering our customers access to a wealth of well-studied and well-written algorithms. Magellan—Built On Open Standards The combination of Spark's algorithms with OpenText EIM will give our customers the ability to apply predictive analytics to EIM: from interactive analytics and business intelligence in finance to high performance batch computing for genomics research to connecting millions of homes to real-time stream processing gas meters. The evolution of EIM has moved from governing information to building apps on this information and finally, to its future state, which is to unlock data to find answers. We laid the foundation of the future with OpenText Release 16—the most comprehensive digital platform in the market today. Magellan is the promise of EIM fulfilled. OpenText can now fully automate Engagement to Insight: Engagement, Capture, Content, Process, Collaboration, Discover, Exchange, and Insight. This is as important as when Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) could automate Campaign to Cash. From Engagement to Insight, customers will be able to answer their most difficult business questions by unleashing the value of their data with Magellan. In the same way that Ferdinand Magellan unlocked the world by circumnavigating it, OpenText Magellan unlocks the potential for the enterprise. We expect to deliver Magellan in the second half of 2017.Read More

Enterprise World: We Are All Information Companies
Welcome to Enterprise World 2016 and welcome to the digital world! Enterprise World is officially off and running. And, the event was kicked off by OpenText CEO and CTO Mark Barrenechea. Mark delivered a keynote to a packed room, welcoming attendees and discussing the future of information. In the digital world, we are all information companies. Whether you are a software company, an insurance company, a car manufacturer or a government organization, information drives all your businesses and operations. This new reality comes at a time when the world is on the brink of a true digital revolution, where three key factors are coming together to drive digital transformation and enable the digital world– extreme automation; extreme computing power and extreme connectivity. These three factors are accelerating the technology curve for all organizations. Technologies like social, cloud, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cognitive computing are all having profound and disruptive effects. But climbing the curve is insanely hard as business and economic models change, and new, innovative and disruptive competitors enter the market. OpenText has a very clear view of how we can help our customers succeed in the digital world. We are focused on delivering a single information platform and business network to customers. We believe that information analytics will deliver deeper business insights, and that the information developer will drive the innovation for future use cases and business processes. But most of all, OpenText is striving to be the most trusted partner to our customers, providing guidance and technology solutions that will help organizations to climb the technology curve. Tara Mulrooney, CTO, Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) summed up this information driven revolution. By integrating different information streams, AER is able to gain valuable insights that help them to achieve their goals. For example, aggregating weather and climate information, environmental and air quality information and precise geographic and location data helps the Alberta Energy Regulator to accurately deploy the right resources, the right people and the right assets across the entire 255,000sq miles of the province. OpenText is seeing a profound change in how enterprises are using software to drive their businesses. If the last 20 years were dominated by ERP, the next 20 years will see EIM as the primary technology driver. OpenText believes that EIM is the core to delivering a customer centric business – from customer engagement to business insight. Starting with customer engagement, and covering information capture; content management, compliance and security; business process design and management; collaborative working; information discovery; secure business networks; and finally deep information and business insights, EIM will help customers to drive new markets, new opportunities and new customer engagement. As Mark discusses, we are all information companies. And OpenText is helping customers to drive customer engagement to business insight, we are delivering new technologies that change the way people will work, and unlocking the power of cognitive computing for everyone.Read More
Enterprise World 2016 – Learn How to Improve Process Productivity with Extended ECM Platform
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) was supposed to be a single solution to all of the myriad business problems. It would let the business owners dictate where and how all data would be stored and structured, apply user rights and retention policies, and most importantly, control what happened to that data over its lifetime. But we all know how that story ended. Users felt constrained by all of the new rules that got in the way of their ability to do their job and were baffled by the complex metadata and classification requirements. Sharing information with external resources (gasp!) became a monumental challenge. And most of all, they resented having to do the real work of their job—be it sales, HR, engineering, or virtually anything else—in one application, then switch to the ECM system to (attempt to) file and find documents related to their business processes. So those very employees that were hired to be self-motivated problem solvers and critical thinkers did what they were hired to do—they found alternative solutions so they could do their job more efficiently. Custom add-on applications were built to handle common processes, while whole industries evolved for things like enterprise resource management (ERP) and engineering document management (EDM). Users switched between different applications to perform different aspects of their job, often to complete steps in the same process. The result? An inconsistently used ECM system and unstructured data that is spread across various (largely uncontrolled) silos with no control and poor personal and process productivity. So what if you took the heart of what ECM represents to your business—the backbone for your unstructured information—and integrated it with the leading application where the work actually gets done? You get Extended ECM and an engine for Digital Transformation. With Release 16 OpenText launched the Extended ECM Platform, which offers unprecedented integration of Content Suite Platform to ANY other system.

Meet the OpenText Experts: John Radko
Today in Meet the Experts, we caught up with John Radko. John is the Vice President of Product Development for the OpenText Business Network. What excites you most about the industry right now? Our business and our customers' businesses are in transition, and we have the opportunity to help them navigate that transition. There is so much new technology and so many new ways of doing business, but trading communities are still struggling to rapidly share important information in real time – that is our sweet spot. What does the digital world mean to you? I think the most impactful part of the digital world is where it empowers people. When technology can get people the right information and context at the right time for them to apply judgement then that is powerful. But digital technology also has to liberate people from routine processes, or they'll never have the time to address the key issues in front of them. Are you ready for Nashville and why? Absolutely – I'm looking forward to meeting as many customers as possible, and learning how we can help them better collaborate with their business partners. I'm also eager to share where the OpenText Business Network is going for a technical and business perspective. Why is this going to be the best Enterprise World yet? OpenText is bigger and better at each Enterprise World, as a result of our organic product development and our acquisitions. For OpenText Business Network, this is our first Enterprise World since the release of Trading Grid Analytics, and our enhanced offerings for Fax/Notification in Europe and the expanded road map for Managed Services. What will customers learn about our products at the event? There was a huge focus on the Cloud 16 and Suite 16 launch at the last Enterprise World; this time I think customers will get much more insight into what is coming next. What are the must see sessions in your opinion? Top of the list are Mark and Muhi's keynotes, as they provide the top level strategic view, and insight into what they see as the key market issues In terms of breakouts, I recommend everyone attend the core roadmap talk for any product they are currently a customer of (like B2B-202,203,204 and FAX-203 and 207), and then prioritize customer case studies (like Miller Coors in B2B-105, or Key Bank in B2B-108) and big picture strategic themes (like IoT, B2B-107) And, finally, what is your favorite country singer/ song? Overall, probably Johnny Cash, but the only country singer on my current playlist is Sam Hunt. Thanks John! Don't forget to register for Enterprise World to hear more from our experts.Read More
Enterprise World 2016: The Essential Guide to Buying Your Cowboy Boots
This year, OpenText is proud to host its 18th annual Enterprise World in Nashville, TN, "Music City." No doubt you're aware that there are lots of attractions, music bars, restaurants and sights to see in Nashville. But the sign of a great trip is the snazzy souvenirs you bring home with you! And in Nashville, you're almost guaranteed to bring back something that's got to do with cowboy boots. Before you step into any western clothing store in Nashville, we've put together the essential guide for cowboy boot success. I dare you to try on a pair of cowboy boots and not fall in love. Cowboy boots are versatile and exceptional, comfortable and different, stylish but hardy. A good pair can last you a long time; a great pair will instantly transform your mood anytime you wear them. The size, fit and overall shape are all important factors to keep in mind when you pick out your first pair. You will want to also pay attention to the little details: the size of the toe, the tabs, the upper material, heel height and of course, the embroidery or visual design. When finding your perfect pair of cowboy boots, however, the odds are sometimes against you. There are literally thousands of boot designs and styles to choose from. So we'll start with the basics. First, cruise through the racks of boots in the store. Sometimes, a pair of boots may jump out at you immediately. Other times, it will take time to go through the different colors, styles and designs as you peruse the options. Embroidered designs or molded leather add interest to cowboy boots. Look for designs that are set apart from the rest. A destroyed leather look, glossy appearance or matte color is particularly striking. As soon as you've picked up a pair, have a look at the structure of the boot. There are five parts to a cowboy boot: the shank, tabs, toes, sole and heel. The shank is the main neck of the boot that leads up to the wearer's calf. This is the part that often features designs embroidered or molded on. If you're looking to show off the design, you may want to search for one that's embellished on the toe of the boot instead. Look at the tabs at the back of the shank along the heel line. These tabs play an important part in making sure that the cowboy boot pulls onto your foot without problems. Next, look at the toes. There are several different kinds of toe styles, such as pointed, squared-off, rounded and angular. While the shift in recent years has been towards more pointy styles, it all depends on your preference, of course. Cowboy boot toes slant upwards because they are meant to fit into saddle stirrups and are easier to slide feet into than traditional shoes. The sole can feature multiple materials, although a leather sole ensures the best comfort. In addition, some boot styles feature anti-slip rubber soles. Consider the heel height. In Western movies, cowboy boots typically had a thicker heel to make the actors more imposing, but lower heels may be easier to walk in. The heel can have two styles: Western, which angles inwards to the sole and Roper, which stretches straight down. Pay attention to what kind of material the boot is made from. Some types of leathers such as cow or ostrich leather are much more flexible than others. Cowboy boots can also be made from python or alligator skins, which are more exotic. As a result, the price tag for a good pair of real-leather cowboy boots will run no less than $200 US. Regardless of what type of material you choose, all boots will require regular maintenance and care. A benefit to owning a pair of cowboy boots is that leather is stretchy and breathable, so eventually the boot will shape nicely to your feet. Once you find that one true pair, the appeal will last for life! Even if you change up your pair of boots in the future, there's always something great about picking out a pair of boots that were made for walkin'! Register for Enterprise World today to size up your perfect boots and get learn about OpenText products at our breakout sessions, design labs and workshops from July 11-14. No spurs needed!Read More
Meet the Experts: Marci Maddox
Meet Marci Maddox, our featured Meet the Expert for today. Marci is the Senior Director of Product Marketing for CEM. What excites you most about the industry right now? Thinking back to the introduction of the world wide web and the introduction of the "web browser", few could have imagined the wonders that would come to life – online shopping, social media, video chats or the encyclopedia at our fingertips. We are now entering a new era where big data, augmented reality and machine to machine (or Internet of Things) innovations are going to reshape our daily lives. No longer in this information-rich world is engagement with a customer, employee or partner a one-way street. Every interaction offers an opportunity to connect better, be persuasive or gain insight into a customer's needs and present a dynamic and personal on-brand experience. For marketers this means increasing awareness and conversion and, ultimately, building those highly-prized references and advocates. For customer care, it is quickly turning a frustrating situation into an opportunity to gain a customer for life. There is an opportunity to leverage information and tools to improve customer lifetime value – not just from a CFO numbers perspective, but for brand loyalty, cross-sell and customer satisfaction. What does the digital world mean to you? With the abundance of data at our fingertips today, there are new challenges and new opportunities arising in the world of customer engagement. While legacy enterprise technology is not equipped to deal with this new class of information, there are tools available now that will allow you to turn big data into differentiated, personal customer experiences. We will not get away from printed marketing material or phone support for a while yet. But organizations have this great opportunity in front of them to develop a digital strategy that embraces online self-service and insightful assisted-services that support a continuous end-to-end customer journey. Are you ready for Nashville and why? Ready and Excited for Nashville! Not only because I am a native Texan and country music and bar-b-que are as necessary as water and air, but we have our first opportunity to show off the latest in CEM – both the newest acquisition of OpenText TeamSite, OpenText MediaBin, OpenText Qfiniti and OpenText Explore but also the enhanced Experience Suite release 16 products. Why is this going to be the best Enterprise World yet? This year's Enterprise World takes a different approach to helping our customers hear about the best practices and gain new ideas on how to use the products they own and complementary products that can further enhance their daily life. There are many more technical how-to sessions for practitioners and developers, plus with the extra track sessions, we can take a deep dive approach into the art of the possible. What will customers learn about your product area at the event? Customers, partners and other attendees will take away ideas and best practices to immediately put into action and an understanding of our strategic roadmap to help them plan their next digital transformation project. What will you be showcasing/ demonstrating? We are excited to once again have our Experience Theater that showcases an end-to-end experience digital content creation to publication story. We will also have sessions to learn more about the OpenText TeamSite, OpenText MediaBin and OpenText Qfiniti products and theater talks on various CEM topics. Experience Suite release 16 showcases the newly introduced Communications Center and Experience Analytics, to Adaptive Media for business applications and easier web site creation and publication- there is something interesting for everyone to see. What are the must see sessions on your product area? So hard to narrow down, but the top ones would be: CEM-100 CEM Strategy & Product Direction: Designing a Continuous Digital Customer Experience CEM-104 Use testing and personalization to turn digital customer experiences into profit and loyalty CEM-204 Enhance OT Experience Analytics with Custom Insights CEM-215 Mining Customer Interactions for Marketing Insights And, finally, what is your favorite country song? There are so many great ones out there, but if there is one song that my daughter and I turn up the volume, roll down the car windows and belt out singing as loudly as we can time and time again, is Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying". Embrace life and do not be afraid to try new things. Thanks Marci. To hear from all our OpenText Experts, don't forget to register for Enterprise World .Read More
Meet the Experts: Mark Gamble
Who's ready to meet another OpenText Expert? Well today in Meet the Experts, Mark Gamble gives us his thoughts. Mark is the Senior Director of OpenText Analytics Technical Marketing. What excites you most about the industry right now? Big data analysis and BI is extremely exciting now, mostly because enterprises are realizing that analytics is a key to business success, and that it needs to be an integral part of any digitization effort. Digitizing inherently creates data, which can then be measured and mined and put to use to improve operations and customer engagement. What does the digital world mean to you? It means a world in which the entirety of consumer or social experience is consistently instantaneous and relevant. Digitizing information and processes, and harnessing analytics coalesce to yield a multitude of benefits – customers get product recommendations on their phones right when they need them, patients send medical stats to physicians from their wearable devices, sensors can instantly alert commuters to traffic backups , and the list goes on. Are you ready for Nashville and why? I'm ready to show off analytics demos and talk about customer case studies! We have planned several exciting analytics exclusives just for Enterprise World, including brand new Content Server Insight dashboards, IoT analytic apps, and ElectionTracker '16. Make sure to visit us in the Expo Hall to see the cool stuff we built just for Nashville! Why is this going to be the best Enterprise World yet? This year's event will be more focused on customer education than ever before. Our emphasis is to make the event a great learning experience for all attendees, who will leave armed with skills to apply in their own workplace immediately. What will customers learn about our products at the event? Analytics customers will learn how Analytics Suite 16 enables self-service data discovery, allowing users to upload, model and visualize data without IT assistance. Customers will also learn how to analyze unstructured data from raw text, and how to properly visualize the data with meaningful charts and graphs. Lastly, customers will learn the deeper nuances of advanced predictive analysis, as well as the finer points of API integration. What are the must see sessions in your opinion? A "dont miss" set of sessions is the Analytics Suite hands-on workshop, a 3-session series that walks progressively through several hands-on exercises. Students will get to perform predictive analysis then create visualizations and dashboards of their findings, all working with OpenText Analytics live product! There is simply no better way to learn about the Analytics Suite than to take it for a test drive, this is your chance! The sessions are ANA-200 through ANA-202 in your session program. And, finally, who is your favorite country singer? Thats easy: Johnny Cash. He's the most rock-n-roll country singer of all time! Well said Mark and don't forget Enterprise World is full of OpenText experts, so sign up today.Read More

My husband and I really liked this recipe. We thought it was a little too salty for us. So next time I will only put 1 Tablespoon season all salt instead of 2. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for the recipe!
This was good. I was suprised since i don't care for the taste fo canned pasta. The kids and I both enjoyed a quick and tasty meal. I only used the cheddar cheese as it seemed like alot with both. I will probably add a little garlic next time.

Men want sex,
Women want presents
Therefore Sex=Presents
I've been thinking about digestion lately. (Well actually, it was just a minute ago).
If you would picture your stomach as a giant catch basin of stuff, say like a lake in Yosemite. (I was in Yosemite this weekend). I regress….
….If you would picture your stomach like an alpine lake catching a waterfall in Yosemite, you'd be careful of what you put in there and how you mix it. Because, you know, it's going to come out "downstream"and you'd want it in a form that's healthy for nature. You know what I mean? If you put crap into a pool above the waterfall (aka-your mouth) it's gonna fall right into the alpine lake (your stomach), and settle down there like rotting garbage. What a picture. I would certainly hate to see rotting garbage floating in an alpine lake in Yosemite. It would seep into the ground and flow farther down stream polluting everything in its wake. That sounds terrible! I would want to have stuff like leaves and rain and fish poop and deer feet in that water. You know, the stuff that naturally falls in there. It's been falling in there for a thousand years and hasn't really hurt the forest. I think it's the same with your body.
Today's food so far:
Asian style salad (from Safeway) ,
Green Machine Naked juice (…again from Safeway. I like Safeway. You can buy several copies of things for $5….),
An espresso shot along with…
a fruit and nut bar, and…
a 'Feel Mo Betta' shot (which contains lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper and ginger)
….all from my favorite coffee shop, States Coffee and Mercantile in Martinez.
Just like you have to force yourself to exercise and eat right, you have to force yourself to be happy. If you do it enough, it'll become a habit.🤔🏹😎
I'm annoyed that while eating a sausage in Swan's Market in downtown Oakland, I don't see one Black person among a crowd of 100's eating lunch. The only black person I see is the one that's being talked to and ticketed by the police and the homeless man pushing a cart. This is disturbing.
I remember when Swan's Market was a place filled with black folks and other people of color buying meats and stuff for gumbo, carnitas and tamales.
I'm not blaming the wealthy dot.commers and such, but somebody needs to do/say something.

From Brian Germ:
Widespread showers and storms continue Sunday around Central Texas as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Rain chances will be the highest Sunday evening and overnight into Monday morning, at around 80%. Minor flooding will be possible with some of these storms, with the potential for additional rainfall totals around 1 to 2 inches in some areas. No severe weather is anticipated with the storms, however the main threats will be heavy rain, strong gusty winds, and lightning. Temperatures by Monday morning will drop into the lower and middle 60s. Winds will be switching to the north at 10 to 20 mph with some higher gusts as the cold front passes.
Lingering clouds and showers will be around the region Monday morning and into the afternoon hours, but activity will be diminishing as the day progresses. Temperatures by Monday afternoon will be noticeably cooler behind the cold front. Highs will struggle to get past the lower and middle 70s! Drier air will be moving in as well, so conditions will feel very nice! Clouds will be around through Monday before improving on Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday will remain cool, but slightly warmer than Monday. Overnight lows for the next several nights during the work week will be in the 50s and lower 60s!
Temperatures will rebound back into the 80s by the middle and end of the work week as high pressure remains in control. Moisture and humidity values will be low during this time, and therefore it will feel very comfortable outside each afternoon!
Next weekend looks rain-free as well, with temperatures near average for this time of year. Highs will be in the middle and upper 80s and lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Chelsea Injury Update: Lampard, Terry & More…
Chelsea face their date with destiny as they welcome FC Nordsjaelland to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night and Rafa Benitez has given an injury and team news update ahead of the game.
The Blues are bidding to prevent becoming the first defending champions to be knocked out at the group stages of the Champions League, and only victory over Nordsjaelland combined with a Shakhtar win over Juventus would see Chelsea qualify for the last 16.
Ahead of the game interim boss Rafa Benitez has confirmed he'll continue to be without the services of trio Frank Lampard, John Terry and Daniel Sturridge who all remain sidelined through injury.
Midfielder Lampard has been out since early October when he limped out of their tie against Shakhtar with a calf injury, and while he's back in training the game on Wednesday will come too soon.
Captain Terry has been out for over four weeks with a knee injury sustained against Liverpool while Sturridge has been out for two weeks with a hamstring strain and the pair will also miss the game at the Bridge tomorrow. Benitez told Chelsea's official website:
'Sturridge on Thursday will maybe start training with the team so we will see what he can do,'
'Lampard has trained with the group for two days, but they weren't full sessions, they were light training sessions. He was fine but tomorrow is still too early. Terry was training with the physios and I have been speaking with him today but again it is still too early. We will speak again on Thursday.'
What would be your starting line-up for the game on Wednesday? Get involved in the comments section.

Top 10 Best Toys for Building!
Our favorite building toys for for 3 and beyond!
These are our 10 best preschool building toys. We own each of these and some before he was three too like the duplos and the large blocks. They are tried, tested and true! He has a variety to explore and create with and these building toys have many years of play left. We love toys that will grow with him as he develops more independence and more skills. Several items are a little older but he like to sit with Daddy and build them so I included them because of the together time they get to spend! These are all high quality, safe and fun building toys!
This post contains affiliate links. There is no obligation to purchase anything from this post. Use the Amazon links for your convenience. Simply enjoy and share!
Building Toy #1
Wedgits are fun to build with and easy to manipulate for younger children. However, you can make really neat sculptures with increasingly difficult skills for older kids. Lots of ideas to work from too and try to recreate!
Building Toy # 2
Quercetti Tubation is also great for the younger preschooler to manipulate without frustration but equally entertaining for the older preschooler. We also added a set of music pieces that can be combined with the tubes to make flutes and horns.
Building Toy #3
Edushape Foam blocks are a great buy and have provided hours of fun for Liam! Inexpensive and a great variety, they are large and great for building castles on the floor (not table top size).
Building Toy #4
Everyone needs a set of these cardboard building blocks from toddler on up! We have played with these for years. Hands down great buy and very durable. You do have to assemble them all, but I am a pro now and have done boxes for other people! Slightly tough to store but we keep them in a big clear storage bin!
Building Toy #5
Duplos are a great independent building toy now! Liam likes the sets better than just a big tub of duplos, so we often keep pieces separate. We have a quarry set and this is actually a gift for him this year to add to it. Although he can manipulate the smaller legos well now, he rather use these still for independent play. We are definitely encouraging independent play too!
Building Toy #6
That leads us to this lego building toy. This is for slightly older kids. We have several versions including a 4 and up one too. Liam sits with Daddy at the table and they have loads of fun building them together. We keep all the pieces in the separate containers and it makes a nice little table activity for quality Liam/daddy time!
Building Toy #7
SmartMax Power Vehicles. Mix and Match and create your own vehicles with minimum frustration! Lots of fun parts and magnetic balls and rods! Pair it with the set below for even more fun but also great as a stand alone gift. Liam received this for his birthday this year. He is easy to frustrate but it is quickly getting the hang of snapping the pieces together.
Building Toy #8
SmartMax basic building set. Although pricey, it is a great building toy and would be a great compliment to the power vehicles above. Since Liam has the vehicles and enjoys them, we went ahead and bought this for under the tree too!
Building Toy #9
Classic wooden blocks by Melissa and Doug. Heirloom quality and great to add to other sets. We have made many cities, zoos, castles, play grounds and more with these blocks!
Building Toy #10
Ki'nex building kits offer lots of creativity with set building ideas too! Some sets start at 3 years and continue past 9 years! Great fine motor skills work too!

Vernon J. Baker Boulevard
COEUR d'ALENE - Vernon Baker's name is now firmly etched into the Kootenai County landscape.
County commissioners on Tuesday officially named a new road north of Hayden after Baker, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and World War II veteran who lived in St. Maries until his death in July.
Baker's widow, Heidy Baker, was thrilled to hear the news.
"Oh, I can't believe it. That is such an honor," she told The Press by telephone from her home in St. Maries. "This is absolutely wonderful. I thank everyone who was involved. I thank everyone for this." More here. Maureen Donlan/Cda Press
Who would you like to see a local road named after?

"Narrator to avoid"
The plot was slow to unfold and the book a tad longer than it should have been but I did enjoy the listen.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this book a full 4 stars was the narrator, Frank Muller. His narration was delivered in such an affected manner it was ridiculous and almost unreadable.
"Hidden Treasure...aGrand Folly"
Having stumbled onto Laurie R King by way of Kate Martinelli...I decided to try a stand alone....this book...Folly is probably sober full when read....it is exquisite, painful, honest, real and chilling as it is read by Muller. I had to force myself to stop listening. Being in the medical profession...you can be assured...Laurie has captured the essence of clinical depression. The book also provides realistic hope for persons experiencing depression. Enjoyable is the wrong descriptor ...honest and vibrant are much better!
"Couldn't listen another minute"
Don't know. I could listen more than 10 minutes, if that. Narrator was so syrupy I was gagging. I love Ms. King's writing but it was worth the suffering
couldn't say
Drawing out the last consonant of every phrasessssssssss. So lugubrious it was painful
would like Jenny Sterlin to do it.
"Folly Review"
no, they are both outstanding.
When she let the people help her to put in the beam in her house. She had been so protective and then she had to share the moment. Also when she found the bones. This is a great read for folks who are struggling with their own inner demons.
First, it was great.
Yes, but it was too long.
You should know I love Laurie R. King so I think most of her books are good, this one just struck a cord with me. It was the one that really showed the strength of the human spirit, besides being a great mystery.
"its your folly if you buy it"
As a fan of Laurie King I was really disappointed by this book and the narration. Its a dark dismal slow moving story, and the narration is equally slow and unexpressive. Its almost impossible to keep plowing on in the hope of some kind of resolution and growth of the main character. Don't waste your money on this one.
"Original and Engaging"
I was led to this book because of my love of Frank Muller's readings. It's interesting that this is a Laurie King book and I discovered Frank through Stephen King's books. In any case I enjoyed the concept of this story and the opportunities for suspense and healing that it provided. It was a very entertaining listen and has led me to other books by this author which I also have enjoyed, but this is my favorite so far and it could be because of Frank Muller's reading. It was a sad day when we lost him.
Live on edge of National Forest with lake, birds & wild animals. No more perfect place to indulge life-long love of reading.
"I really wanted to give more stars. But..."
Laurie King is one of my favorite authors. Frank Muller is absolutely beloved as a member of the narrator community. All of this came to naught in this book.
The character development took front/center stage to the deficit of every other component. Muller's narration sounded like an elderly grandfather reading a bedtime story to a very young grandchild. The plot dragged along in circles with only hints about what was important to pay attention to. And as it turned out, there really wasn't much.
The character development was top notch ... nothing else came up to that standard. If you haven't yet listened to King's series, do NOT take this one book as indicative of what she can do. She is wonderful. This book does her no justice.
"Good Story -"
I like the way Rae works through her psychological lproblems at the same time she is working on the reconstruction of the house.
Really is only one character and that is Rae. All other characters are very minor.
I didn't like him as a reader. Why was a male picked to read a book which is mostly a woman's thoughts?
this book is a thinker. Not a light read but not heavy either. It brings 'crazy' into our thought processes and gives us an insight into how it works and maybe we can build some empathy through that.
"Introspection and Mystery! What's Not to Love?"
With a non-conventional protagonist (Rae Newborn, an older woman who suffers from severe depression) and a non-conventional mystery (one that plays a subtle role till the later half of the novel and doesn't involve a recently deceased corpse), Folly remains one of my favorite novels to date. Using the isolated setting, King gives her characters the space to breathe and grow satisfyingly, while the plot is propelled by the construction of the house which further brings the central mystery into focus. The narration by Frank Muller is also excellent, with distinct voices given to the characters and a wryness that felt natural given the 3rd person perspective from Rae. All in all I would highly recommend anyone listen to or read this novel in one form or another.
"An unexpected gem"
No the plot did not keep me on the edge of my seat, I don't believe that this was the aim of the author. Instead she took us on a slow and deeply moving journey as the main character fought for her right to live as she did, her ability to manage the inner voices and her external struggle to build a house on her own. I loved this story but not because it kept me on the edge of my seat but rather because it was well paced, interesting with likeable and well developed characters.
