Nooooooo! Google Reader is leaving us!
Mr. D is all upset they're sunsetting iGoogle and now I join his sadness after learning last night they're going to do away with Reader on July 1.
Reader is the web-based program that allows you to subscribe to great blogs (like Spin Sucks!) without having them all come into your inbox.
It grew out of the Google acquisition of Blogger. In 2004, Jason Shellen, who was part of the acquisition, created Reader and launched it in 2005 under then Marissa Mayer's consumer web-based services.
It started as a a Google Lab project, but quickly grew into its own service. In fact, it began to become something even bigger: A place to not just read, but to comment and share with friends and strangers.
But, of course, it makes sense Google wants to replace – or kill – anything that could compete with the whole world using Google+, so away it goes.
Why Google+?
As it turns out, Google employees are incentivized on whether or not Google+ makes it. Twenty five percent of their bonuses require its success.
So they're highly motivated to make you use it.
Have you tried to set up a new Google analytics account in the past few months? What about a Google doc? Or calendar? Or YouTube channel?
You cannot do it without having a Gmail account, which ties to a Google+ account.
This does two things: 1) Beefs up the numbers when people talk about how many users Google+ has and 2) Gets people using it.
After all, I'm pretty sure the quiet vision of Google is to rule the world. They continue to move toward that with these kinds of transitions.
So What's Next?
It's not the end of the world. I panicked last night because I cannot (and will not) have 696 RSS feeds come into my inbox.
I'll continue to use Zite to give me the top stories of the day and recommend new stuff. It already transfers blog posts and articles from my Facebook and Twitter friends. Hopefully they come out with something quickly that will feed what were found in my Google Reader.
Triberr has become an RSS feed of sorts in the past few months. While that won't help me discover anything new, it definitely helps stay abreast of the bloggers I want to make sure I don't miss.
And, with TweetDeck retiring, I'm now forced to recreate my six year old lists so I can set them up to feed me my favorite bloggers.
But probably the best way to transfer your existing feeds? It looks like it might be Feedly (I'll bet they're jumping up and down in their offices right now).
At 1:30 this morning they were adding new bandwidth and servers so the mass exodus has begun.
I haven't tried it yet, but will today. They say the transition is seamless.
Other Google Reader Options?
If you don't like any of those options, you can still subscribe to blogs via email, Netvibes, Bloglines, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, Agregator, and more.
While the switch from Reader is painful and very sad, it's not the end of the world (though it felt it last night).
If you have another option, please share it in the comments!

I began using Feedly last night and so far, I like it. As you mentioned, it is a seamless transition (although right now, it connects directly to your Google Reader, so I'm not sure how that will change when Reader officially goes away). It will definitely take some getting used to, but I'm already a fan of the social sharing buttons directly within each post in Feedly.
@jesslaw From what I can tell, they're keeping it connected it for now so things like Zite don't get screwed up. They'll transition it all on their end so it's painless for us. But I really, really hope Zite (and Flipboard and the others) add new feeds to their apps before July!
@ginidietrich @jesslaw Flipboard is what I've used most, but it is in dire need of some updates to keep up with additional feeds.
@allarminda @jesslaw I really, really love Zite. I like it better than Flipboard. But that could change with this news.
@yaseend I laughed out loud when I read your paragraph about explaining all the cool benefits of Reader to your wife. That's awesome! We have a similar situation in our house, but I am you.
I just started migrating to Feedly so I'm happy to hear you love it. Thank you!
@ginidietrich @yaseend My wife seemed to be happy when i told her that they are discontinuing Reader – she think that it will get me to spend less time reading other peoples blogs , and spend more time working on my dissertation!
Oh and if you use the Feedly ios app – there recommended categories and blogs can be a bit of a information overload! I probably ended up subscribing to more blogs than i have the capacity to handle!
How does Google Reader compete with G+? Instead integrate it so we HAVE to use G+, much like hangouts or Author, etc. I think they have made some weird moves lately…
@KenMueller I don't think it does, other than it's a service that doesn't require a Gmail or Google+ account to use. Based on recent moves, my guess (and I don't know this) is they're putting all of their eggs in the Google+ basket.
@ginidietrich Clearly. So why not find ways to integrate things that people already use? Bingo, instant audience.
@KenMueller @ginidietrich I agree. I think there is a missed opportunity here. I am willing to venture a guess that the people who DID use Google Reader are probably a pretty strong target market for Google+.
@KenMueller @ginidietrich I'll second that. Wouldn't it have been nifty if reader was integrated within G+ to make it easy to share directly within their platform? A no-brainer to me. But, clearly, they know something we don't.
@TaraGeissinger @KenMueller @ginidietrich I agree. Nearly my entire Twitter feed last night was people complaining about the Reader news. They are also some of the people most willing to be on G+.
@KenMueller Sorry – I see now that I said it would compete in the blog post. I meant only from the perspective of having eyeballs there instead of on Google+.
How does Google+ equates to Google reader?? I totally understand the use of Google Reader. But in the contrary it is still blurry for me on how Google+ work and how effective it is.
@SandyNMH It doesn't – they're completely retiring Google Reader as a free service to consumers so they can focus on Google+. They're story is no one uses Google Reader, but it's pretty clear that's not the case. But now, if you use Google+, you can use it like one would Twitter to discover new people, articles, videos, podcasts, and blog posts.
@ginidietrich @SandyNMH Is it part of the push to using Author markup language? Because in theory, you could follow a blog via G+ by following the blogger.
@scribblinghappy @SandyNMH Yes, I think that's exactly what they want to do.
I had a discussion with a journalist friend of mine about Google Reader. To my surprise, he tracks all his news and blog discovery through Twitter nearly exclusively, supplementing that with occasional email and internal chat of news sharing. It boggled my mind that he could restrict the firehose to such a point that he could actually suss out important news.
As for alternatives, Vienna for OSX is pretty darn nifty.
@jasonkonopinski Wow, that IS sort of mind boggling. I'm not sure why, but I am continually surprised by how truly powerful Twitter is.
@TaraGeissinger I certainly couldn't use it that way, but he trims his Twitter and Facebook feeds to be newscentric and uses Tweetdeck to organize that into lists and columns.
@jasonkonopinski @TaraGeissinger I do the same thing Jason – maybe it's a journalism-training thing….? Not sure. Interesting though.
@belllindsay @TaraGeissinger Maybe. It was just a brief exchange on Twitter, so I've invited him to be on the podcast.
Also note that all your RSS feeds can be easily exported into XML using Google Takeout:
@jasonkonopinski That sounds complicated.
@ginidietrich It's really easy. Don't be a sissy.
Sigh…another change. I feel and sound like such a curmudgeon when the tools I depend on are removed. And yet, so often in the process I discover newer and better tools. (OK, not on the Tweetdeck front, but you get my drift.) Off to try Feedly and see what all the excitement is about…
@allenmireles Between TweetDeck and this, you and I might both be driven to drink.
@ginidietrich @allenmireles Like you don't already.
Here is a crowdsourced list of alternatives: http://list.ly/list/33u-google-reader-rss-reader-alternatives-crowdsourced-list#item_116106
@polleydan You rock!
@lauraclick I almost used the Darth Vader "Noooooo!' button for this! Interesting…I didn't know that about Feedburner redirecting. You're right. I guess we should have seen this coming.
I am not a fan of RSS feeds as they encourage people not to visit the actual blog so the closest I have come is via Triberr.
And FWIW, not using RSS has helped me not accumulate 2k posts that I want to read but never get around to looking at.
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes What you said. I don't use them either.
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes I love it, but I must use it differently than most because I never read in the Reader, I always to go the blog post from there. Otherwise I can't comment so it's never occurred to me to read it in the Reader. LOL!
I left Google Reader for Netvibes about two years ago. I knew I'd lose major cool cred, but it has been a great choice for me. The interface is more engaging and I like its flexibility.
@sierratierra Interesting. @yvettepistorio uses Netvibes for clients. I wonder if it's a good alternative for us?
@ginidietrich @yvettepistorio I'd be happy to screenshare with y'all if you want to see how I use it for RSS reading/curation.
Feedly looks good, but the problem is that to use it I have to grant them permission to monitor all my activities that occur in my browser… one of the beautiful things about Reader was that it didn't extend to monitoring all of my other activities.
@eclectitech1 Crap. Really? All I did was allow them to move my feeds over. But you're saying I have to give them permission to monitor all my activity?
My dismayed Tweet yesterday was immediately favorited by something called Prismatic, which looks intriguing, but I've heard more good things about Feedly.
@RobBiesenbach Ohhhh. I'll check it out. Let's compare notes.
@ginidietrich Hmmm, there is so much movement today with other providers scrambling, I'm going to hold off. For instance, this announcement from Feedly:
"In a blog post today, Feedly says it's been expecting the Google Reader shutdown for some time now and has been working on a project called "Normandy" that is a clone of the Google Reader API and will allow for a seamless transition when Reader shuts down."
Via: http://marketingland.com/12-google-reader-alternatives-36158
I'm still pouting and not ready to look at alternatives just yet. i'll do it tomorrow 🙁
@yvettepistorio LOL! I'll do the work for you. Don't worry.
@KristenDaukas Great alternative with Hootsuite. I hadn't considered that. Nice one.
And suggestions welcome too. RT SpinSucks: From Spin Sucks: RIP Google Reader: You Have Other Options http://t.co/Qi9eYSIgzzgzz
EdenSpodek I'm going to try Feedly but still bummed Google Reader is going 🙁 Thanks for sharing Eden!
SpinSucks You're welcome as always! I'm probably going to do the same but have a bit more research to do first.
EdenSpodek SpinSucks I just signed up for http://t.co/wWxg9RlP7eP7e. Easy peasy and the interface is better than Reader. TAmyVernonnon
hessiejones EdenSpodek SpinSucks I'm looking at The Old Reader.
AmyVernon EdenSpodek SpinSucks Amy I looked at that also. Is it easier?
hessiejones EdenSpodek SpinSucks Not sure. They've been so overloaded in the past day I haven't had a chance to *really* check it out
hessiejones EdenSpodek SpinSucks But the features & interface are said to be just like GR
AmyVernon EdenSpodek SpinSucks so, I'll try back again when they have capacity. Feedly was fairly easy to set up. Interface is better 🙂
hessiejones EdenSpodek SpinSucks I LIKE the simplicity of the reader interface. Was underwhelmed by feedly's
AmyVernon hessiejones SpinSucks Sorry for missing out on this helpful discussion. Guess it's time to check out feedly and report back.
AmyVernon EdenSpodek SpinSucks OK, good to know! Eden, I suspect this will be a trending topic for today at least!
hessiejones AmyVernon SpinSucks No doubt, Hessie. If any company can trump the Pope announcement it's Google. 😉
hessiejones AmyVernon SpinSucks So far, I'm liking what I see because feedly is more visual but I need to spend more time exploring. 😉
EdenSpodek hessiejones AmyVernon I gave in and signed up already. Agree, it's more visual but need to explore more.
Answer me this: Why kill something that works thinking it will help something that kind of, well maybe will? Ugghh!
@AmyMccTobin The formal word from Google is people aren't using it and numbers are declining. Perhaps we don't represent the whole world?
@ginidietrich @AmyMccTobin someone today is still upset they cant rent a VHS tape from Blockbuster. They are staring at their VHS layer under their TV and thinking 'If only I could rent Rambo life would be good'
@HowieG @AmyMccTobin I'm pretty sure they can still rent Rambo.
@HowieG @ginidietrich @AmyMccTobin My dad – who never bought *any* newfangled, modern tech or tools (we didn't have cable until I was a teenager), eventually broke down and bought a tape player. He bought a Beta. :
@ginidietrich @AmyMccTobin there are a few blockbusters open…so maybe…but in VHS?
I was so sad to hear!! And I knew you'd be too Gini! This article from Cnet proposes 5 alternatives. Feedly seems the most popular so I'll probably try that. Wonder if the guys at BufferApp will create something?
@DiFrancescoLyd I moved my feeds over to Feedly this morning. I have it in Chrome and I like the extension. We'll see how it integrates with some of the other things we use.
Sumbich; I guess I better go check out Feedly, huh?
@bdorman264 Is that your way of getting away with swearing here? I'll allow it!
@ginidietrich @bdorman264 uses bad words a lot. Just saying.
There really are no other logical options if you're totally tied into the Google ecosystem. What the lord gives, he taketh away…
I thought Google's 'mission' (the public version) was to bring the world's information together…
Someone, somewhere isn't on message.
@DaveThackeray I thought it was do no evil.
@ginidietrich @DaveThackeray Google actually makes pizza
Hi. My name is Brad, and I am a recovering Google Reader-aholic.
I didn't know I had a problem until I found that I couldn't tear myself away until I had read or marked every post as "read." This would sometimes take an hour out of my day, so finally, one day, I stopped using it.
Now I have a Twitter list set up that contains blog posts from most of the same feeds, but my OCD self doesn't feel the need to click every link.
Man, that felt good.
@bradmarley There are places for people like you Brad.
@bradmarley OMG I thought it was just me!
@bradmarley Hi Brad! You're among friends.
@ginidietrich @bradmarley @belllindsay @katskrieger see if your name was Bob instead of Brad you could of said 'Google reader mon?….oh shit….I think I misplaced it with my keys mon…anyone see my keys mon…Jah I am so hungry mon, (long pause)…what were we talking about again? Oh yah…..Google Snack Chips mon….
@HowieG @ginidietrich @belllindsay @katskrieger If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that comparison…I'd have about 27 dollars.
@HowieG @ginidietrich @bradmarley @katskrieger Oh my god. I actually didn't get it at first. HAHAHAHA!! I'm such a TOOL!!!
@belllindsay @ginidietrich @bradmarley @katskrieger you are lucky Brad. if you were Bob you would have me hanging at your house every day.
@HowieG @ginidietrich @bradmarley @katskrieger Jammin'.
@belllindsay @HowieG @ginidietrich @bradmarley @katskrieger Tokin'.
I add all my RSS feeds to my Outlook account. Crappy for when I leave my current company but makes it easy for now.
I transitioned to Feeder this morning. I am getting used to it. I have to download the mobile app now.
@katskrieger Feeder? Or Feedly?
@iagdotme I moved my feeds over to Feedly this morning and so far, so good. The IFTTT integration is a good point…and I hope Zite does something quickly, too. Huge opportunities for companies like that. And who knows? Maybe you'll love your reading experience more with the change.
@ginidietrich oh you're being so positive.. don't make me cry! 😉 I think you're probably right. I think this will be a painful process for those of us who have invested so much in Google Reader over the years. I transferred my feeds into Feedly today too, but for the time being I am going to continue to use Reader- basically because I can't do without IFTTT. However I do know they're basically wanting to clone the Google Reader API- so it shouldn't be difficult for IFTTT to integrate. I'll get there… just give me a few more days and I'll be ok…!
@iagdotme I'm pulling for you!
I thought I saw something about this yesterday but was so busy — or hurt — I immediately blocked it out.
Now that I have seen it here, it's made too real and I am just a pile of cranky. I'm going to go do some emotional eating now.
@dwaynealicie Make me a banana split while you're at it!
Have you looked at Guy Kawasaki's Alltop.com? It covers blogs and feeds for over 700 topics and you can personalize an account to cover the ones you want.
@searchguru I have, but I don't love it. I think it's a design thing for me.
@ginidietrich @searchguru who is Guy Kawasaki?
@HowieG Guy Kawasaki wrote Art of the Start, Reality Check, Enchantment, and A.P.E. (recently). He founded Garage Technology Ventures, and is a venture capitalist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki
I worked with him doing the SEO for Alltop when it first began.
@ginidietrich @searchguru I agree Gini, I hate the design. It does NOT make me want to stay and explore.
@MarkXS Whoa. I hope Yahoo! sees this comment!
Argh – I just recommended Google Reader to a newbie. I like it BECAUSE it is tied into what is rapidly becoming a familiar interface with all of the Google+ Integration. Guess I will take a look at Feedly now.
On the iPad, I really appreciate the Mr Reader app. It also has Buffer integration, so that's a bonus.
@dbvickery I used to use that app on my iPad, but switched over to Zite a few months ago. Like it looooooots more.
Crying for the same but different reason… I've been using Safari for RSS management, and now Apple has eliminated it in Safari 6, keeping me from upgrading browsers until I can figure out where to move the RSS to.
I guess I should thank Google for killing G Reader before I moved everything over to them!
@Adam | Customer Experience Firefox has an RSS reader in it's bookmarks still. And you can block most digital ads still 8)
@Adam | Customer Experience WHY ARE THEY SO MEAN TO US?!?
You can also pull RSS feeds into Outlook. Use those with Search Folders to aggregate and it's not a bad RSS reader – especially the newer versions.
@bschorr I'm pretty sure doing that would send me into OCD overload. But it is a very good option for others.
@ginidietrich @bschorr OCD overload – you have worked with me too long – LOL
Sounds like your life is way too complicated @ginidietrich you need some sort of mind melding curation app….can you set up Siri to do this?
I stopped having content come to me. I go to the content. This way I can stay fresh with my explorations. Every day a new choice. Flipboard? Currents? What blog might I find? What business pub will I visit.
The few blogs I frequent show up in my drop down URL bar on Firefox if I just type 'w'.
Who needs readers? Readers schmeeders!
@HowieG I should ask Siri for help. That's a good idea.
Did you see the latest Hitler meme…he wasn't happy about losing his Google Reader. I'd share here, but the language was definitely R-rated…and the spelling was X-rated (as in, forbidden spelling combinations).
@dbvickery I did just see one about clients wanting responsive design halfway through a new website launch. It made me laugh out loud.
I gave in and already tried Feedly…it's not bad, just have to get used to it. ^yp
Wow, that's big news.
I'll check out Feed.ly at your advice and also… review my reader and do a lot of cutting and pasting.
@barrettrossie I need to do that, too. So much organizing to do, so little time.
I am probably the only person in the world who hasn't used Google Reader. The plus side is no withdrawal. I am confident Google will be just fine in the future.
@PattiRoseKnight1 Oh Google will be fine. But I might die. What will you do without me??
@ginidietrich @PattiRoseKnight1 Patti, you are not alone – I don't use readers either. If i like something, it comes into my email. End of. I don't give a whit about Google Reader shutting down! 😉
@belllindsay @PattiRoseKnight1 I AM GOING TO DIE!!!
@ginidietrich @PattiRoseKnight1 Patti, I'm sure that if you, me, Allen and Yvette really knuckle down, we can keep this ship afloat and and really honour Gini's memory in the manner she deserves. Don't you think?
@belllindsay @ginidietrich My dear Gini if I didn't die on August 16, 1977 you won't die about Google Reader. You do know what that date is don't you?
@PattiRoseKnight1 @belllindsay @ginidietrich ELVIS!!!!!!!!
@jasonkonopinski @belllindsay @ginidietrich Jason is in the will!!!!! Yes that was a sad day for your friend here. And if I lived through losing him you will make it through Google Reader going away. GR is in heaven with Elvis LOL!
@PattiRoseKnight1 @jasonkonopinski @belllindsay Google Reader is in heaven with Elvis?! LOL!
@belllindsay @PattiRoseKnight1 How will you get your paychecks? Do you know how to forge my signature?
@ginidietrich @PattiRoseKnight1 Patti's working on that.
@belllindsay @ginidietrich My dear Gini when you go I go – you better not leave me with the crazies!!!
@PattiRoseKnight1 @ginidietrich Patti, didn't Gini tell you? Hank and I are moving to Chicago and Gini said we could move in with you!
@belllindsay @ginidietrich if I can claim you on my taxes we're good. Love those deductions 🙂
@belllindsay @PattiRoseKnight1 Dear Patti, Don't worry. I'll take you with me. Love, Gini
@ginidietrich @belllindsay (sigh of relief)
Reader had to step down when it was discovered it had been using feed-enhancing stats without the knowledge of the bigger concern that is Google. Seems every bugger's doing it!
@Danny Brown Darn them!
@ginidietrich @Danny Brown firefox Ghostery add on exposes the hidden tracking sites. We only talk about the biggies who got caught being tracking sleazes like Apple,Google, Facebook. But all the digital ad networks and scottish mafia hacker is tracking you without your knowledge/approval.
Stuff changes so often I never know what to do. The divorce rate is as high in the interwebz as it is out here. Thanks for all the great suggestions.
BTW, feedburner still works. Hahaha……
@rdopping I hear you're seeing a mutual friend of ours next week. I'm jealous! Come to Chicago.
@ginidietrich Yeah. J and I are super excited. We also get to see some cool architecture. Look like Chicago in May for the long weekend as long as Porter cooperates and you are around.

I knew I could turn to you for advice. BECAUSE YOU'RE IN MY READER!
@designintowords Sigh…so sad. But you bring up a good point. How are bloggers going to reach those who have RSS feeds in a way that is non-intrusive, but still valuable?
@Andrea T.H.W. Ha! Just like every other dictator…very funny!!
@benbarden Thanks for letting us know! I'm going to add to a list of recommended sites.
I used NetVibes myself, because it's like iGoogle used to be.
@adammbsmith I'm going to tell Mr. D that. He's very sad iGoogle is going away.
@ginidietrich Happy to help 🙂
Sigh. Goodbye to the first Feed Reader that worked for me. Hello to Netvibes, I guess. I'm with you about the loss of TweetDeck as well. I feel like I ordereda Betamax with TweetDeck, but gotta go the VHS HootSuite route.
@askdebra LOL! I'm testing out TweetBot, but don't love it yet. Also, I really like Feedly so far.
The lack of interoperability is driving me crazy. I want one source to view blogs that I subscribe to. Be they blogger, self hosted, wordpress.com — Right now I am viewing them on Google Plus, Google Reader, WordPress Reader, and email.
One source that I can view on multiple devices, smartphones, computers, and pads. Is Feedly the closest thing to this currently? Can Feedly subscribe to wordpress.com blogs that do not have RSS feed option active?
@smoothreentry PS: Organizing comments too.
@smoothreentry I think Feedly is the best option for that, but I don't know if you can subscribe to Blogger blogs that way.
@ginidietrich @smoothreentry Okay, thanks. I will try Feedly. But there is still not a good way to get WordPress.com into feedly. You can import, but that is not a "cloud based" system where they both stay updated. Seems like feeds would have a similar system to ical with calendars…
Try The Old Reader. Or hold out for Digg's version in the next few weeks.
[…] Dietrich over at SpinSucks offers a few of her own suggestions for reading […]
Interesting, Gini, as I started to say before livefyre posted my comment without me. I am aware of the sundown on Google Reader but missed the announcement on Tweetdeck… I still have the old version because I never liked the new one. SO now it is going away all together? I also can't decided what to replace Feedburner with… so many changes. Sigh!
@Julie Walraven My recommendations: Hootsuite to replace TweetDeck, Feedblitz to replace Feedburner (and do that soon because my sources think it's going away very soon), and Feedly to replace Google Reader. I was very, very upset about this until I started using Feedly. Now, a week in, I am super happy Google forced me out of my comfort box. I LOVE it!

Summer Tree Care Tip:
This year has been very tough on trees in New England. Extensive Gypsy moth caterpillar damage coupled with an extremely dry June has left trees stressed. Watering will be very important!!!
Established trees show water stress more slowly, but signs include wilting, change in leaf color, and premature leaf drop.The most important goal is to get as much of the water as possible to the roots of the tree. To accomplish this, eliminate runoff (don't apply water faster than the soil can absorb it); keep the water inside the drip line of the tree; and apply the water evenly across the whole area. Whether old plantings or new, when you give your trees the care they need through regular watering and maintenance, they give you beauty and growth in return.

Invasive Plants in the landscape
A major concern in our naturalized areas is the establishment of invasive, non- native, trees, shrubs and vines. These "introduced" plants have the ability to proliferate and then dominate unmanaged areas. There is no area immune from their establishment; urban, suburban and rural areas will find invasive plants growing where no management has taken place. Invasives are commonly spread by birds, they ingest the plants fruit and distribute the now "pre-fertilized" seeds to the ground

Iveta has testified before the UN Working Group on business and human rights.
Fletcher Forum articles by Iveta Cherneva:
2015 is the right time for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to identify a set of priorities to ensure that the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and their targets will be in line with international human rights standards.
All eyes in 2015 are on the United Nations. The new development plan to succeed the Millennium Development Goals will be announced this year, but another UN process—equally important to human well-being—is gaining speed: the strengthening of the UN human rights treaty bodies.
Even as NATO tries to fashion a response to the crisis on its eastern frontier in Ukraine, the appointment of Norway's former prime minister Jens Stoltenberg as Secretary General should alert global attention to another region: the Arctic.
The New Deal for Fragile States is a departure from the traditional donor-centered approach, but it remains to be seen whether the country-led framework will yield better results.

Rethinking Horse Slaughterhouses
Animal-Welfare Groups Are Joining Ranchers in a Push to Revive an Industry That Died in 2007
Less than four years after the last equine slaughterhouses in the U.S. closed down, an unlikely coalition of ranchers, horse owners and animal-welfare groups is trying to bring them back.
The group, gathering in Las Vegas this week for a conference called Summit of the Horse, aims to map out a strategy for reviving an industry that slaughtered as many as 100,000 horses a year in the U.S. before it was effectively shut down by congressional action in 2007.
Advocates say the slaughterhouses could bring an economic boost to rural areas and give owners who no longer have the means or inclination to care for the horses an economical and humane way to dispose of them.
"We believe that humane processing is absolutely a moral and an ethical choice," said Sue Wallis, a Wyoming state lawmaker who organized the event.
Ms. Wallis is working on bringing a slaughterhouse to her state, but said her coalition first must overcome what she called "the 'ick' factor."
Indeed, animal-welfare activists opposed to the resumption of slaughter say the public will rally to stop it, since many Americans grew up with such books as "Black Beauty" and TV shows like "Mister Ed" and consider horses companions, not meals.
"Public opinion is with us," said Patti Klein Manke, executive director of the Hooved Animal Humane Society.
Pressure from animal-rights groups and from undercover videos that circulated on the Internet and showed apparent cruelties in the horse-butchering process prompted Congress to shut off all funds for inspecting equine slaughterhouses in 2007. That dealt the industry a fatal blow, as federal inspections were required by law before the meat could be exported for human consumption. Most horse meat from the U.S. was sent to the lucrative markets of Europe and Asia, where the flesh is stewed, grilled or sliced thin and eaten raw.
Though horse lovers cheered when the last slaughterhouses were shuttered, some now say they may not have thought through the consequences.
The slaughterhouses disposed of the thousands of horses abandoned or relinquished each year by owners who find them too old or temperamental to be useful or who simply can no longer afford to care for them. Now, many of those horses are sold for $10 or $20 at low-end auctions and packed on crowded transports to be slaughtered in Mexico. Animal-welfare experts say the horses often suffer greatly on the journey.
In 2006, just 11,080 U.S. horses were shipped to Mexico for slaughter. In 2008, after the American industry shut down, that number jumped to 57,017, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Animal-rights supporters have been lobbying Congress for a ban on exporting horses for slaughter. They've had no success—but even if a ban did pass, some activists say, it would do little to ease suffering, as owners desperate to shed responsibility for their animals might simply abandon them to starve. Hiring a veterinarian to euthanize and dispose of a horse can cost hundreds of dollars. Horse-rescue groups take in some unwanted animals, but they don't have the resources to care for them all.
"Every day, I'm turning horses away. I feel like I'm playing God, because I have to pick and choose," said Whitney Wright, director of Hope for Horses, a rescue group in Asheville, N.C. She worked to shut down slaughterhouses but now would like to see a few reopen under strict guidelines for humane handling.
The American Humane Association, which monitors the treatment of beef cattle, pigs and poultry nationwide, is considering helping the proponents of horse slaughterhouses develop and implement such guidelines. The group may also create a media campaign to explain the issue to a wary public, said Tim Amlaw, a vice president.
A renewal of equine slaughter still draws sharp opposition from some veterinarians, horse owners and animal-rights groups. They suggest instead providing free hay to economically strapped owners; opening low-cost clinics to geld horses to reduce breeding; even requiring anyone buying a horse to pay an up-front fee to cover euthanasia by a veterinarian when needed.
In the past two years, however, seven states, including Arkansas, Missouri and South Dakota, have adopted resolutions urging Congress to support horse processing, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Montana restricted court challenges to future equine processing plants. And Wyoming passed a law allowing any state-licensed meat-processing plant to sell its products, including horse flesh, to state institutions, such as prisons. No federal inspections are required if the meat does not cross state lines.
While U.S. slaughterhouses in the past processed primarily domesticated horses, the conference in Las Vegas will also discuss the thousands of mustangs the federal government removes from Western rangeland each year to keep herds in check.
The government has had difficulty finding adoptive homes for the wild horses. Last year, taxpayers spent $37 million to hold nearly 40,000 animals in corrals and pastures indefinitely, the Bureau of Land Management said. But the agency's director, Bob Abbey, told the summit that slaughter was not an acceptable option.

I know in the Primal Blueprint we do not count calories but I am just starting out on this amazing journey and have a few questions about nutrition.
First off I will be using the P90X weight videos for my LHT days. The remainder of the week will be one day of sprinting up this really huge hill in my neighborhood and the rest of the days either playing golf (walking 18 holes no cart involved) and walking or playing with my dog.
My question about nutrition has to do with calories though. Can anyone tell me how many calories I should consume per day.
I am aiming for around 2300 to 2400. I am trying to stay at around 80 to 90 grams of carbs so the rest will be protein.
Any input from the rest of the blogging community will be greatly appreciated.
Eat until you're no longer hungry, but not until you're stuffed. Try it for a few weeks, if you start gaining weight, cut back a little. You have to experiment to see what works for you.
Also, you said 80-90 carbs and the rest protein....what about fat??

For nutrition/wellness tips:
I also meant to add Fat.
Sorry I wrote that kind of quick.
I am not sure how to reach that caloric goal with that small amount of carbs. i almost have to eat 1.8 grams per pound of body fat in protein and a good bit of fats to reach this.
I came up with that amount of calories because I am looking to gain weight. I am not as lean as I want to be but I am tired of losing weight. I am 6'3 and weigh 175 lbs. I would like to be at 190 but I also want some lean mass and a low body fat %. Maybe I am tackling this the wrong way.
Should I just try to lean out now matter how much weight I lose then try to gain weight.
I do know that the P90X weight training days are pretty intense and can be taxing on your daily caloric intake.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." - Voltaire
For nutrition/wellness tips:
I should explain the Picard face palm above. I was just giving you a hard time. It's my way of saying welcome, noob!
All I can add is put the calculator away. That stuff comes from conventional wisdom nonsense, usually anyway.
Do Primal and eat real, healthy food. Calories are only estimates anyway. When I read sites where people start adding, dividing, and making ratios, it just looks like a bunch of nonsense and I quit reading it.
Thanks for the hard time DFH. I appreciate it. I know I shouldn't be using the calculator but I just feel I have lost enough weight (not body fat). I really do not want to lose weight but I would love to lose body fat. So I am not sure how to approach this issue. Should I a) lose the body fat then try to put on mass, or b) try to put on mass then lose the extra body fat. Is it possible to do both, especially following the Primal Blueprint.
Are you saying that I should boost up to the 100 to 150 range of carbs.
If so should I also boost up the protein from say 1 gram to 1.5 grams per lb of lean mass.
I am looking at the BMR calculator online suggested by Mark as well as using the Harris Benedict activity factor.
If my calculations are correct my Total Average Daily Caloric Expenditure is 3,386 calories.
Now if I want to stay at the weight I am at but lose body fat should I eat this many calories with about 80 to 100 grams of carbs, 1.5 grams of protein per lb of lean body mass, then the rest made up of fats?
I am lost on what I should do, the examples in the book are about people wanting to lose weight but I am tired of losing weight, I just want to lose body fat and stay at the same weight or even gain some weight.
Guessing you don't want to mess with a leangains recomp, and all its macro-counting. One of the few proven ways to add muscle/lose fat simultaneously. Slow process though, one I'm doing right now.
If you want to gain weight, eat above your maintenance. Keep carbs around your workouts, low or zero carb at other times. Protein can be anywhere between 1-1.5g per lb, depending on how hungry you are.
One thing you should do is figure out your BF%. If you are still above 12%, lose some more before trying to gain muscle.

My Gpa bought a Wii and had the same problem. Then sensor bar is exactly what it is named. An Ir emitting bar(infrared). Many things produce this like Candles, and the sun.. [0000----------0000] (fun project look at your sensor bar with a digital camera)... If any glare hits it or any infrared besides this bar are in the way of its path to the Wii mote, it will mess up. Also I believe there is a Distance limit between the two.

The NHL free-agency window opens at noon Friday and the Pittsburgh Penguins are hoping Jaromir Jagr will tell them that he's returning to the team.
Jagr's agent, former NHL player Petr Svoboda, said Thursday that his player's "heart is in Pittsburgh," the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. But it remains to be seen if that is enough for him to accept the team's offer of one year and about $2 million that was made Tuesday.
"Petr said we're very much in the mix," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said, the Tribune-Review reports.
Jagr has spent the last three seasons playing in the Kontinental Hockey League.

A Walterboro man was jailed on charges that he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.
Nathaniel Hampleton, 33, of Walterboro is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, according to an arrest warrant. He was being held on Sunday in the Charleston County jail on $100,000 bail.
Hampleton was arrested in Beaufort County on Friday with the assistance of sheriff's deputies and U.S. marshals, an incident report stated.
In a forensic interview conducted at the Lowcountry Children's Center last year, a 14-year-old girl told officials that she met Hampleton on Facebook. They chatted on the social networking site and through text messages, a detective stated in the warrant.
One day, the pair's relationship went beyond texting when Hampleton picked the girl up from Baptist Hill Middle-High School and sexually assaulted her, the warrant stated. Hampleton drove the girl to a Chinese restaurant after the assault and later dropped her off at school in time to ride the school bus home, officials said.

Our fearless leader, Gini Dietrich, has talked at length about how our virtual office works, so I won't rehash the details.
Suffice it to say, I think my team does a great job of collaborating and holding each other accountable for our goals.
However, there's been a lot of discussion lately about certain companies requiring employees to physically work from the office.
It seems Best Buy and Yahoo! have made up their minds about working from home.
Corporate objectives aside, there are benefits to telecommuting that go beyond being able to work from home in your pyjamas.
Humor Me
Fast Company recently shared a new infographic from CarInsurance.org, which showed from 2005 to 2012, the U.S. workforce grew three percent and regular telecommuters grew 66 percent.
A few statistics stood out:
- The greenhouse gas reduction due to U.S. telecommuting equals the equivalent of the entire New York state workforce if they had the option to work from home.
- Employees save nearly 109 hours per year of commute time.
- Eight in 10 employees who telecommute part-time feel they have a good work-life balance, and three in four say they eat healthier.
- Productivity increases an average of 10 to 20 percent when employees telecommute.
The Work from Home Debate: Myth vs. Fact
I came across this slideshow on Danny Brown's blog and loved it. As part of the MarketingProfs educational content series, writer and illustrator Veronica Maria Jarski, created a SlideShare in response to the recent announcement from Yahoo! that remote working would not be allowed.
Myth: Employees spend all their time on the Internet, texting friends, or on social media networks.
FACT: People in an office setting also spend time on the same things. I think I actually spent more time doing those things in an office setting than I do now. Hopefully my old boss isn't reading this.
Myth: Employees will go rogue if they don't work side-by-side.
FACT: This really makes me laugh because I can think of a few instances where employees went rogue on social media while they were IN THE OFFICE! It can happen anywhere.
Myth: Employees who work from home are harder to reach than on-location workers.
FACT: There are these things called smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Employees can be available at all times (we are!).
Myth: Telecommuters can't communicate with others in the company.
FACT: Hasn't anyone heard of a phone, social media, Skype, Google Hangout, or other 'virtual meeting' technology? We live in a digital age so start embracing it already.
Myth: Virtual employees can't participate in brainstorms because some of the best decisions or ideas come from the cafeteria.
FACT: Brainstorming can happen anywhere. See above fact.
Myth: They work fewer hours.
FACT: I was literally rolling on the floor laughing at this one. Because employees who work from home don't have a hard stop time, and they don't waste hours commuting, they usually end up working longer hours.
Myth: It's like a vacation when you work from home.
FACT: When I'm not watching TV, eating bon-bons, and getting my nails done – anyhow, you get the point. It's NOT a vacation working from home. If anything, at times it's more stressful! 'At home life' (kids, emergencies, repairmen, etc.) tends to fall on your lap, because you happen to be there. Also, I'm pretty sure my team would notice if projects weren't complete.
I love working from home. I eat healthier, I get to spend more time with my family, and I don't have to dress up every day, but I still get face-to-face time with everyone on my team.
For me, it's the best of both worlds.

Thanks Yvette! I am actually more productive at home, and I also believe I end up spending more time on work, because I work when I feel inspired rather than just clock punching. I do like coming to the office for the vibe and connecting with colleagues, but I believe I am most productive when I am trusted to be flexible and professional. Now sometimes in the evenings I "turn off" my urge to work and "save it" for office hours…how silly is that?!?
RebeccaTodd That's not silly at all!! I close the door to my office and try to only work from there. It gets me in "work" mode…it's all a mental trick I play on myself and it really helps. If you don't turn it off, you'll never stop!
yvettepistorio RebeccaTodd Yup that's exactly what I mean Rebecca, I may not be sitting straight for ten hours at home – but I'm starting at 6am and ending at 8pm some days, depending on emails or issues that arise. And I love it – that's the thing – when I would "leave the office" my work was OVER!! Now, when I'm working from home I don't feel that same separation – and I'm happy to be puttering around with work at nights and weekends too.
belllindsay RebeccaTodd So very true! I got hardly anything done yesterday because I had to… TALK to people!
But I can see why big companies are against people working remotely, because (based on my experience) in big companies most in-office employers can't be trusted to be productive, let alone be productive from home.
adammbsmith belllindsay RebeccaTodd Ahh…the old chicken/egg dilemma (even though I know the egg is clearly first.) Are people not trustworthy to work because they really aren't trustworthy, or because they aren't trust-ED to do the work? Ooo I'm getting all meta! Split between the notion of professional vs clerical work?
CommProSuzi Thank you 🙂 I love working from home and my team and all of the tools available makes it easy to collaborate.
RebeccaAmyTodd Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!
yvettepistorio I'm right there with you! I worked remotely for a year and it was the best thing I ever did. I did work more hours, I was much more productive cause I wasn't always getting interrupted by co-workers and I had a much better work/life balance.
Thanks for this cause I was just debating this with my boss an hour ago!
jennimacdonald yvettepistorio Haha!! Show him the slides from MarketingProfs 🙂
AND we can Skype silly jokes on an as-needed basis! 😉
I'd settle for working here at the office, yet dressing like I'm telecommuting.
tim_baran Thanks for sharing Tim!
jennimacdonald dandrmar 😀 Thanks for sharing Jennifer!
SpinSucks: Thanks for writing!!! Have a good day!
jennimacdonald Thanks you too 🙂
missyhackthomas Thanks for sharing Melissa 🙂
3HatsComm You're right, it won't die. I think some of those myths are so ridiculous!
360connext Thanks for sharing Jeannie! Which do you prefer?
SpinSucks Working from home with the occasional IRL meetings!
360connext That's how we work at Arment Dietrich…it's great 🙂
Kato42 East Coast!! YEAH!! Where did you move to Kat? I'm from Moncton originally. Entire family still there. 🙂
Wow – small world – we're in Saint John! Beautiful here, and close to my husband's family, but not much communication work. I'm from NS, though, so Halifax remains a possibility. 🙂 So nice to be back by the ocean (we were in Calgary).
Kato42 Oh yeah, I miss the ocean terribly. Lakes/schmakes! I lived in Halifax for a year before coming to Toronto. So many great memories and crazy nights spent at The Seahorse. 😉

MediaLabRat Thanks so much Robert!!
No problemo! It is a big issue in every company now, I am a little divided on it myself :/ eveypistorio
MediaLabRat I prefer working from home, but there's some days I do miss the office.
I love the energy of our office, but I am much more productive at home, shhhhh 🙂 eveypistorio
MediaLabRat Your secret is safe with me 😉
merylkevans thanks so much Meryl 🙂
eveypistorio I'm busier and work more since trading corporate job for home office.
R_Steinbach Me too…it's the perfect time to have a date night or girls/guys night 🙂
Let me say that the "it's like a vacation when you work from home" – that is the most untrue one of all. It couldn't be farther from the truth.
I'd venture to say that most of these myths are circulated by people who haven't actually worked at home themselves.
isitacordero Thanks for sharing Isabel!!
eveypistorio Thanks to you, Yvette!! Happy weekend!! 😉
isitacordero Happy weekend to you too!
AcquireB2B Virtual works for our team too 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
eventbrite interesting debate. I think if someone accuses 'at home' workers of slacking, it says more about themselves than anything else.
DanielKson det finns inga självklara svar. Lite variation är nog bra att ha:).
elwirakotowska Precis. En lagom blandning är bäst. Utan kontorsjobb ibland skulle jag ju inte få min motionstur med cykel tex. 😀
DanielKson och julbord (varför tänkte jag på det denna vackra vårdagen??) an också kännas rätt så ensamt:)
elwirakotowska Ja då är det ju trevligare att finnas på plats!
eventbrite Would love to hear what others thing…thanks for sharing 🙂
eventbrite What others think! Oy, time for another cup of coffee!
[…] More organizations are allowing some in-office and some from home work days during each week. And, of course, there was the big hub-bub when Yahoo! announced they were requiring everyone to be in the office at all times. […]
[…] home and get the luxury of kicking back on their sofa instead of being stuck behind a desk. Studies show that people who work from home actually spend MORE time working than your typical 8 hour day. This […]

Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace Brut
Sku: 13445
Winemaker's Notes
Lucien Albrecht, Jean's father, pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. The wines vinified by the classic Champagne Method from 100% free run juice, are the best sparkling wines in France outside of Champagne itself. Recently Maison Lucien Albrecht was awarded four gold medals at a comprehensive National I.N.A.O. tasting of all sparkling wines in France, giving the firm more gold medals than any other Crémant producer in France.
This Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Pinot Blanc. The Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by a fine and elegant bead, a beautiful straw color; a light, delicate palate. It is delicious at any time of the day and with many foods.
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Albrecht obviously has a skill in sparkling wines, because this, like its partner rose, is skillfully made, full of fruit and richness."
