Our Story
Pioneer Broom Shoppe
Pioneer brooms are handcrafted to be durable, reliable, decorative and great to use. Crafted after Old European, Early American, Colonial, Appalachian and Pioneer styles.
Early in American history, brooms were used to sweep everything from cabins and homes to European castles. All brooms were made by individuals from whatever local materials were available. For example reeds, grasses, small twigs, branches and corn husks were used. They were crudely made and served short term use, requiring frequent replacements. History records an original broom made in 1797. It was a most amazing broom made from sorghum fibers that quickly became very popular. By 1820 the Shakers started mechanizing the broom industry.
We are stepping back in time to revisit an era when brooms were made by the individual to brighten and add a decorative flare as well as keeping the home clean. This pattern and design was developed by the immigrants from the British Isles, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Western Europe. Settlers throughout the Appalachian region blended their skills and crafts. Although brooms were manufactured in Massachusetts and sent all around the country, there were isolated communities that carried on the traditions of the old ways well into the early 1900 century.
Each broom is lovingly created entirely by hand using the traditional methods and tools of the 18th century craftsmen. The Weave used is decorative, yet gives the broom a sturdy construction lasting longer than most manufactured brooms.
All of our brooms are made from natural washed broom corn. The Handle is crafted from several different native hardwoods treated with a clear finish to bring out its natural beauty.
We are interested in stepping back to recapture the beauty and charm that was lost with the mechanization of a very common household item – the broom.

Yeah. We had a cat coming to our door like that several days a row, but then we found out where he lived – our row houses look very similar, so it had gotten lost. Meowwww indeed, next time he turns up I will call his owner not give him any food.
Some cats know how to work a grub line.
The neighbors cat comes over to sleep under my truck. Have no idea why he likes it there.
Just remember… You own a dog, you feed a cat. A cat will hang around until it finds better deal.

A wealth of water could shape Detroit's future
By Emanuele Berry • Feb 24, 2014
While the city of Detroit works to overcome its financial troubles, some see a bright future for the city because of Detroit's location.
Francis Grunow, a partner at New Solutions Group, recently penned a series for Model D, focusing on geography and urban planning. In his latest article, Grunow explores Detroit's relationship to water and its location within the Great Lakes megaregion (the area in the United States and Canada surrounding the Great Lakes.)
Grunow says where Detroit sees itself in its history is also important because, despite tough times, the city still has an incredible amount of infrastructure and access to natural resources.

We had a bit of a situation developing at my house this morning. A ripe avocado was on its way out. I just can't stand to see an avocado go to waste. In addition, some bananas were looking like no one was going to eat them. All this amounted to the perfect excuse for some experimentation. Thus the Green Monster Smoothie was born.
According to Lori at Fake Food Free, bananas and avocados are a popular snack combination in Brazil. And Dani Spies whips up some mighty fine lookin' baby food using the same ingredients.
My preschooler happily took a taste, told me it was perfect, and then didn't touch the rest of it. Is she actually trying to be polite and make me happy???!? This makes no sense at all.
I can see this being more of a hit with the toddler-set. I enjoyed it, but it is super rich and all I could put away was about a cup. So, unless you have a crowd, you might want to halve the recipe.
1 ripe Haas avocado, pitted
1 ripe banana, peeled
1 1/2 cup milk (or more if you'd prefer it thinner)
1 tablespoon sugar
Small pinch salt
Place the avocado, banana, milk, sugar, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Serve.
Note: Cut up the banana and freeze it beforehand for a snack on a hot day like Lori did.
Yield: 2 1/2 cups
Prep time: 10 minutes

This looks delcious! We, too, have the dilemma of aging bananas and avocados in our house quite often! I think my kindergartener would be all over this one–especially the name! Last year, at his preschool they had a smoothie station at their Spring Fling (they're really into all natural, no junk food at that schooL!). My kids were so surprised to see the attendant adding avocado to the smoothie–and they've talked about it ever since. Thanks for the reminder and love your great ideas!

Why Is Everyone Standing?
Question: Why does the congregation stand every time the shofar is blown?
Answer: The Mishnah Berurah (Orach Chayim 585:2) notes that according to halacha one need not stand for all the tekiot. Indeed, some of them are explicitly called "the sitting tekiot." The reason that most people stand nonetheless is based on the following:
The Mishnah (Bikkurim 3:3) relates that when pilgrims brought bikkurim to Jerusalem, "all the craftsmen would stand before them." Commenting upon this, R. Yosi bar Abin remarked, "Come and see how beloved a mitzvah is while it is being performed. For all stood for the pilgrims and not for Torah scholars."
But why did these people stand only for those bringing bikkurim. What about all the other mitzvot that people perform? Why not stand when one sees these other mitzvot being performed as well?
The Maharsha (Kiddushin 33a) answers this question by citing the commentary of the Rambam on the Mishnah in Bikkurim who says that the mitzvah of bikkurim was unique in that an entire tzibbur, not just individuals, performed it. In other words, when witnessing a group performing a mitzvah, we afford it special respect.
Based on this rule, it is quite understandable why the custom developed for the entire congregation to stand for tekiot. When the ba'al tokei'ah blows the shofar, the entire synagogue is fulfilling a mitzvah and thus, special kavod must be shown.
(Another reason why people stand is because they are fulfilling the mitzvah of blowing the shofar by hearing it, and the general rule is that one stands when performing a mitzvah.)Rabbi J. Simcha Cohen
About the Author: Rabbi Cohen, a Jerusalem Prize recipient, is the author of eight sefarim on Jewish law. His latest, "Jewish Prayer the Right Way" (Urim Publications), is available at Amazon.com and select Judaica stores.

In today's episode of, "News Everybody Saw Coming" Bioware has outed the fact that they're working on Dragon Age 3.
Despite often middling reception of Dragon Age 2, they are indeed having another crack at the beloved RPG franchise.
Alistair McNally, a senior creative director at BioWare, put out a tweet earlier indicating that Bioware is hiring!
I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes, Alistair in Dragon Age is named after this guy.
Third time's a charm, right?
Look out for Dragon Age III sometime in the future, until then leave us your thoughts.

Vodafone Group PLC (NASDAQ:VOD) is a leading telecommunications company that is based in the United Kingdom. This company is focused on Europe, but also has operations and interests in the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the United States. This global presence allows the company to participate in the growth of emerging market countries like India, for example. A global presence also creates diversification which can lower risk for the company and its investors.
In recent days, many major stock market indexes in Europe have dropped by about 3% or even more as concerns about the economy have returned. This has put pressure on a number of high-quality stocks that offer above average dividend yields. Investors who are looking for market pullbacks as buying opportunities and for dividend income should consider Vodafone shares now for a number of reasons.
As the chart shows, Vodafone shares have recently dropped from over $27 to just around $24. With the stock trading at the low end of the trading range, and because it has bounced sharply from roughly $24 per share in May and November of 2012, this could be an ideal time to buy the pullback.

(Click to enlarge)
Another reason to buy Vodafone includes the fact that it owns a major stake in Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) which one analyst believes is worth more than $90 billion. This is significant since that amount is equivalent to about half of Vodafone's enterprise value. It could sell this stake in the future and use those funds to pay a special dividend, buy back shares, or both. Because of this ownership stake in Verizon and because Vodafone trades for just about 10 times earnings, while Verizon trades for around 16.5 times earnings, it truly makes sense to consider Vodafone if you like Verizon shares.
Vodafone offers investors a strong dividend yield of about 6% which will reward shareholders while waiting for a higher share price. Over the past few years, the dividend has jumped significantly. In 2004, the company paid out about 2 pence per share, but thanks to regular increases, the dividend is now about 6.5 pence per share. In 2012, it also paid out a special bonus dividend of 4 pence per share.
Here are some key points for VOD:
- Current share price: $24.56
- The 52 week range is $24.42 to $30.07
- Earnings estimates for 2013: $2.47 per share
- Earnings estimates for 2014: $2.55 per share
- Annual dividend: yields about 6%
Here are some key points for VZ:
- Current share price: $45.12
- The 52 week range is $36.80 to $48.77
- Earnings estimates for 2013: $2.77 per share
- Earnings estimates for 2014: $3.14 per share
- Annual dividend: $2.06 which yields 4.6%

Rachel Zoe Does Not Have Time to Watch Kell on Earth
She's been too busy designing 'faux' chinchilla pieces for her QVC collection.
Rachel Zoe threw a preview party for her newest QVC collection last night at the Gramercy Park Hotel. "The line is all about everything that I've cultivated in my mind and wanted to share," she said. "My mantra is accessible style and glamour."
Huh. We were pretty sure that it was either "Bananas!" or "I lit-er-ally die." But, no: "100 percent accessible style and glamour." All of the pieces in Zoe's QVC line — which includes sequin vests, faux chinchilla, and multi-chain necklaces — retail for less than $200. Zoe, ever the self-marketer, also handed out oversize, RZ-stamped sunglasses and black sequined RZ purses in the gift bags — a move we thought would've made fellow Bravo reality star Kelly Cutrone very happy.
As it turns out, Zoe has never even seen Cutrone's show. "No, [I didn't watch Kell on Earth]," she said with a shrug. "I don't have a lot of time for TV."

Laysan albatrosses (Phoebastria immutabilis), which forage throughout the North Pacific, are well known for their tendency to ingest plastic. Their flexible foraging strategy has potentially led to a decrease in their foraging efficiency as they ingest large amounts of plastic, which is in turn fed to their chicks. It is unclear just how often Laysan albatrosses encounter or ingest plastic and whether plastic is mistaken for prey, has natural food attached to it, or is consumed to assist in digestion as is sometimes done with pumice. Unfortunately, plastic ingestion leads to mechanical blockage of the digestive tract, reduced food consumption, inappropriate satiation of hunger, and potential exposure to toxic compounds. While there have been documented detrimental effects on the growth rates and fledging masses of chicks, it is still unclear what levels of mortality are caused by plastic ingestion. What is clear, however, is the source of the plastic: there is now so much floating marine debris accumulated in the North Pacific gyre that is it known as the "great garbage patch". This patch consists of high densities of floating plastic debris, particularly between 20° and 40° N, within a few hundred kilometres of the coast and in the gyre centres, between the tropical and subarctic waters. This area of concentrated debris consists of two accumulations: the "Western Garbage Patch" that occurs off Japan and the"'Eastern Garbage Patch" located between Hawaii and California. These accumulations correspond to the locations of two sub-gyres within the North Pacific Gyre connected by a narrower band of marine debris north of the Hawaiian Archipelago (where 99% of Laysan Albatrosses breed). (Young et al. 2009 and references therein)
Young et al. (2009) investigated the questions of whether Laysan albatrosses nesting on widely separated islands (Kure Atoll and Oahu Island, separated by 2,150 km) exploit resources closer to their breeding colonies during the breeding season, how their foraging locations change throughout the reproductive cycle, and whether this leads to differences in plastic ingestion as represented in their boluses (regurgitated undigestable material). Determining how and where marine organisms come into contact with marine debris could have implications for the design of management strategies that mitigate its environmental impact. To track foraging behavior and plastic ingestion, Young et al. combined the use of electronic data logging devices to determine the at-sea distributions of adults with the collection of chick boluses to evaluate differences in plastic ingestion. The authors found that chicks from Kure Atoll were fed almost ten times the amount of plastic relative to chicks from Oahu despite boluses from both colonies having similar amounts of natural food. Foraging adults from Kure had a greater overlap with the putative range of the Western Garbage Patch, possibly explaining the higher plastic loads at this colony. Furthermore, every bolus examined from Kure Atoll contained multiple pieces of fishing paraphernalia, while only two boluses on Oahu contained any evidence of fishing line or tools (despite recreational fishing adjacent to the breeding colony on Oahu), suggesting that the threat from fisheries not only comes from bycatch for this species, but also from the consumption of fishing gear. It is unclear whether the Western Garbage Patch contains more trash than the Eastern Garbage Patch or if the size and composition of the pieces are easier for the birds to ingest compared to those found in the Eastern Garbage Patch.

I've seen a lot of people trying to justify piracy, but this one is definitely new – and apparently not even illegal. Basically Bopaboo is a service (currently) in beta that allows you to sell you legally bought DRM free music files as used.
I looked and looked in their FAQ to see if they would provide some legal ground for their service, as the concept sounded a bit too far fetched. I mean, MP3 files can be copied, there's nothing stopping you from selling your legally bought file and keeping a copy for yourself. I was curious to see what system Bopaboo had for controlling this and as I expected there is none, as proven by their terms of use: "You further represent and warrant to the purchaser and to Bopaboo that, upon the completion of such sale, You will delete any remaining copies of the Used Published Item that may exist in your possession, custody or control". Basically this means that as the legal citizen you are, Bopaboo trusts you to delete the file you've sold as "used" and never re-download it again from where you bought it. They also claim to scan the files to make sure they are not pirated, something that seems rather unlikely considering how many legal MP3 stores there are in the world and not all of them uses watermarks. Piracy has been a problem for a long time, but now you can apparently get paid for it and it'll be legal as well. Please tell me if I've missed something critical here because it seems highly unlikely that the music industry will agree to this.

Dayton VA director Guy Richardson says 527 of the 535 people seen by the dentist have been contacted for free screenings. He tells the Dayton Daily News that of 375 tested so far, there were seven hepatitis C positives and two hepatitis B positives. No one has tested positive for HIV.
Officials say the results are preliminary and further testing will be needed. They also say testing will try to determine whether the infections came from the Dayton VA dental clinic.
Both forms of hepatitis can cause liver problems, and hepatitis C is the leading cause of U.S. liver transplants.
An employee raised concerns about the dentist's gloves last July. The dentist has retired.
Richardson says the VA will respond aggressively in providing care to those who may have been exposed to infections while receiving care from the VA dentist between 1992 and last July.
"I'm charged as leader of the facility to make sure we provide high quality, safe veteran care," said Richardson, who also said Tuesday he apologizes to the veterans.
Dr. Andrea Buck, national director of medicine for the VA, says steps are being taken nationwide to make sure there is no repeat of the Dayton VA problems.

US: New Natural Gas Policy Sought
Companies and conservation groups join to demand revised U.S. gas plan
Seventeen organizations--chemical companies as well as environmental and conservation groups--fired off a letter to Congress last week urging a new energy policy to solve the nation's natural gas crisis.
Over the past few years, sky-high natural gas prices have hammered chemical companies that use gas as fuel and feedstock. Consequently, companies and trade associations have appealed for government support of more drilling and production as well as greater efficiency.
Environmental and energy conservation groups have urged more efficiency, but they have been at odds with industry's push for more drilling.
This recent letter brings the two sides together, recognizing natural gas's importance as a clean and valuable fuel and as a feedstock. The groups urge a host of conservation and efficiency measures, such as renewable energy tax credits, tougher building codes, more cogeneration, and greater energy R&D.
The letter also recommends pursuing new gas supplies in a "timely and environmentally responsible" manner along with "reasonable" government oversight and "meaningful" public input. In addition, it endorses more liquefied natural gas imports.
Signatories include Dow Chemical, Bayer, DuPont, Rohm and Haas, the American Chemistry Council, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the National Environmental Trust, and others.
NRDC added in a separate statement that energy efficiency is the quickest way to cut demand and price. Some 80% of natural gas resources on federal onshore and offshore lands are already available for production, the group said, noting that the government issued 6,130 drilling permits last year but energy companies drilled only 2,702 new wells.

Very plush, great color and craftmenship. A little spendy but the end result was worth it. Installation instructions are photocopies with some extra written notes tailored to individual seat...helpful but hard to read.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee introduced a blueprint for the federal transportation authorization bill Friday.
The bill has the potential to shift U.S. transportation policy away from car dependency and takes strong steps in that direction by committing $100 billion toward transit, authorizing $50 billion for high-speed rail, and making it easier for metropolitan areas to direct funds to cleaner transportation projects.
In addition to funding public transportation and rail improvements,
the bill makes it easier for cities to fund transit and projects for
bicyclists and pedestrians by shifting more authority to Metropolitan
Planning Organizations (MPOs). The bill also sets aside $50 billion for
cities to reduce congestion by expanding and improving transit.
cities determine how they spend their transportation money is a good
thing," Rob McCulloch, Transportation Advocate for Environment America said. "Most mayors and MPOs understand that transit
and cleaner transportation options are better at keeping people moving
and take cars off the road. Plus, transit and rail produce only a third
of the global warming pollution of comparable car travel."
While the Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) strives to
lessen environmental impacts and ties transportation improvements to
reducing global warming pollution, the bill does not set specific
pollution or oil-consumption reduction targets. The transportation
sector accounts for a third of U.S. global warming pollution and 70% of
domestic oil consumption.
Legislation introduced recently in
the House and Senate sets national transportation objectives to include
reducing transportation-generated carbon dioxide 40% by 2030,
eliminating exposure to harmful levels of transportation-related air
pollution, reducing car vehicle miles traveled by 16% in 20 years, as
well as tripling walking, biking, and public transit use in 20 years.
America and a coalition of more than 140 national and regional
environmental, public interest, health and business groups are calling
for these objectives to be incorporated in the Surface Transportation
Assistance Act.
"We laud Chairman Oberstar in his efforts to overhaul transportation
policy in this blueprint," McCulloch said. "However, in order to reduce
transportation pollution to levels that will help solve global warming,
we need a system that prioritizes clean transportation such as transit
and rail ahead of new highways. Environment America is calling on the
committee to include transportation objectives that set specific
pollution reduction targets and to make cleaner transportation the main
way to reach them in order to build a cleaner, safer, stronger America."
The T&I Committee plans in coming weeks to introduce the full Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA), which will determine federal transportation investments for the next six years.

Its good to see that there may be more funding for public transportation. Even though I have a car, I take the bus frequently to work so I can limit my fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. I currently intern at a company called TransLoc (www.transloc.com) which creates interactive live bus maps. TransLoc helps me and many others take the bus since we can now see exactly where the bus is. I also don't have to pay for gas anymore.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's Last Request Was For His Son To Be Raised In New York, Chicago Or San Francisco
Late film star Philip Seymour Hoffman left the bulk of his $35 million estate to his estranged partner Mimi O'Donnell, according to documents obtained by the New York Post.
The actor, who died February 2nd of what was most likely a heroin overdose, penned his last will and testament back in 2004, when the couple had just one child, son Cooper. Hoffman asked that his son be brought up in one of three major cities in order to experience the arts.
"It is my strong desire... that my son, Cooper Hoffman, be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan... or Chicago, Illinois, or San Francisco, California," he wrote in the will. "The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, arts and architecture that such cities offer."
Since he wrote his will, Hoffman had two more children, daughters Tallulah, now seven, and Willa, now five.
Hoffman also left a trust fund for his son, which he will receive half of in 2029 and the balance in 2034.

Dear Editor,
Excuse me for "venting" however, Inter-Island Air needs a COMPLETE chastising for their performance (or non-performance) in Samoa.
Here is the situation. We had a round-trip flight to connect with Air New Zealand for a much-needed holiday to New Zealands' South Island. The whole trip was GREAT and everything worked PERFECTLY… UNTIL we got back to Samoa and went to get our return-trip to American Samoa on Inter-Island Air.
There was NO ONE at the airport from Inter-island to let us know what the problem was; both Inter-Island aircraft were "broken" and the airline was NOT flying.
This is not an unusual situation, as each time I have tried to get to Manu'a to deal with our (KVZK) TV translators over there, Inter-Island has been broken down (MANY thanks Joe!!!!!!)
Here is where the situation gets worse… (no communication is a BIG problem, but yes, it got worse!)
We were told that there "may" be someone from Inter-Island to pick us up at Faleolo airport and take us to Fagali'i airport, where Polynesian flies from. We were advised it would be best to take a taxi to Fagali'i, which we did, and paid 90 tala to do so.
When we got to Fagali'i we had to locate the Inter-Island agent and surrender our passports to him. We waited the entire day on "stand-by" as Polynesian was fully booked.
At about 5:30 or 6:0 p.m., a LARGE group of us were still sitting at Fagali'i. Inter-Island offered the group to be "put up" at a small motel across the street from their office in Apia. The problem was; it was raining all day in Apia and the room we were given had a 6" pool of water that one had to walk through, with shoes and socks on (sorry, I'm a stupid Palagi) before you could enter the room.
I'm sorry, but I'm old, and this is unacceptable. The story at this point was we needed to be back at Fagali'i the next morning at 7:30 a.m. to sit on wooden benches, with no food, for an entire day, to await a possible "standby" booking on Polynesian.
This is unacceptable for old people, like me.
This caused more expenses, another taxi ride, and a stay at another hotel in Apia, just to be able to rent a car the next day, so we could get to the Polynesian office and BOOK a CONFIRMED flight 2 days later.
Three (3) days in Apia and Inter-Island air says they will only refund the first day of our stay in Apia since we were refunded the Inter-Island air fare the second day we were in Apia.
This is totally bad customer-service, and the communication is HORRIBLE. On top of all this, it took a CALL to Esther Prescott-Sene to even get the REFUND process started (Had to leave a message, she was not there).
Inter-Island Air does NOTHING until they get bothered to do it, and their service AND COMMUNICATION (or lack thereof) is a joke. They could have e-mailed; but did NOT!
Respectfully and Sincerely,
Jeffrey C. Alwin
American Samoa resident

Christian Heritage Acad. v. Okla. Secondary Sch. Activities Ass'n
In Christian Heritage Acad. v. Okla. Secondary Sch. Activities Ass'n, 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 8186 (10th Cir. Apr. 9, 2007), the Tenth Circuit upheld a challenge under the Equal Protection Clause against the Oklahoma high school sports association because it allowed public schools to join automatically but required a majority vote in order to admit private schools. The Tenth Circuit held, without dissent, that the high school sports association was a state actor subject to the Fourteenth Amendment.
Specifically, the Tenth Circuit ruled that this distinction between public and private schools was not rationally related to the legitimate purposes of (1) preserving equitable competitive opportunities, (2) preventing exploitation of student-athletes, and (3) preserving a balance between academics and athletics. Rather, the decision by the association was unguided and entirely discretionary, and thus violative of the Equal Protection Clause.
This decision could be helpful to students who engage in homeschooling but are excluded from participation in public school activities, as by the NJSIAA.

About Open Innovation
The term open innovation shall characterise a system where innovation is not solely performed internally within a firm, but in a cooperative mode with other external actors (Fredberg et al. 2008). Open innovation is opposed to closed innovation, in which companies use only ideas generated within their boundaries, characterised by big corporate research labs and closely managed networks of vertically integrated partners (Chesbrough 2003). Open innovation has emerged as a major new trend in innovation management practice. Today, a Google search lists more than 1.5 million pages using this term. A search in "Business Source Elite", a bibliographic database, lists 190 scholarly papers about the topic, with more than 60% being published in the last two years.
The goal of open innovation is to rapidly acquire new knowledge to dramatically shorten the product development lifecycle and deliver new, high value products to customers faster than the competition. Procter & Gamble, for example, is a pioneer of open innovation. Today, P&G has 23 billion dollar brands, 20 $500 million brands and invested more than $2.2 billion in innovation last year. During a December 2008 analyst call, A.G. Lafley, CEO of P&G, reported that 50 percent of the company's innovations today are developed with outside partners, compared with 15 percent six years ago. In 2003, revenues for P&G hit $43.37 billion. In 2008, P&G reported revenues of $83.5 billion. Meanwhile, P&G's R&D budget grew from $1.92 billion to $2.32 billion. But most importantly as a percent of revenue R&D went from 4.8% to 3.4%.

Twitter is the social network of choice for toppling oppressive government regimes. And now, in what seems like a plot line from a future Hollywood blockbuster, the Associated Press reports the U.S. government conspired on "a secret plan to build a social media project aimed at undermining Cuba's communist government."
In other words, the United States allegedly set out to build and install a "Cuban Twitter" to skirt the government's vice-like grip over digital media.
According to internal documents obtained by the AP, Joe McSpedon, a U.S. government official, worked with a cadre of high-tech contractors out of Central America in 2010. Their mission, according to the report, was to "launch a messaging network that would reach hundreds of thousands of Cubans." The new, Twitter-like social network would be called ZunZuneo, which is Cuban slang for the sound a hummingbird makes when it tweets. The AP reports:
To hide the network from the Cuban government, they would set up a byzantine system of front companies using a Cayman Islands bank account, and recruit unsuspecting executives who would not be told of the company's ties to the U.S. government.
The report suggests that to scale the project and accumulate subscribers, it would post news messages about "soccer, music, and hurricane updates." Then, once enough users were in place, it would inject politically charged content and, if all proceeded according to plan, watch the dominoes fall:
Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize "smart mobs"—mass gatherings called at a moment's notice that might trigger a Cuban Spring, or, as one USAID document put it, "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society."
One of the memos from Mobile Accord, one of ZunZuneo's contractors, noted there was to be "absolutely no mention of United States government involvement," which would be "absolutely crucial for the long-term success of the service."
It is unclear how successful the program has been to this point; on Facebook, for example, a page for ZunZuneo has just 300 Likes. According to the AP, some 40,000 Cubans were using ZunZuneo at the social network's apex. You can read the whole story here.

Lately I've been reading again lot of discussions going on about whether WebForm is a much wiser choice for developers, if it will die in favor of ASP.NET MVC, or how much ASP.NET MVC brings productivity away because it forces you to learn another framework or because it makes you think more about pattern, or name-your-other-rather-random-opinion.
Even if I wrote a book about ASP.NET MVC, I've to say I'm getting pretty bored about this discussions: like it or not many big companies cannot afford to rebuild their whole web applications on ASP.NET MVC, even if they want the TDD experience or the fine control over HTML markup. The only possible outcome is that projects will be a mix of both WebForms and ASP.NET MVC: probably it has been marketed in the wrong way by Microsoft itself (you remember the "4 pillars of ASP.NET"?), or probably it was the only way to do it at the time since ASP.NET MVC and Dynamic Data came out as OOB release and as part of a Service Pack.
But with the forthcoming ASP.NET 4 and probably even more in the next version (either they call it 4.5 or 5) we are starting to see a lot of cross pollination between the 3 UI frameworks:
And probably we will see even more for ASP.NET vNext; to the point that in 2 years we'll probably decide whether to use ASP.NET MVC or WebForm in the same way we had to decide between a ListView and a Repeater back in the ASP.NET 2.0 days.
UPDATE: Just noticed that Jimmy Bogard wrote a similar post: My picture of an MVC-WebForms marriage.
I know it's already 13 days into the new year, but a year cannot start without the usual retrospective on the year that just ended and with the resolutions for the year that is coming.
Let's start with evaluating how 2009 go and let's see if it went as I hoped at the beginning of last year. I already did 2 intermediate checkpoints, one at the end of Q1 and one in mid Summer.
So, just 1 FAIL, 3 GOOD and 4 NEUTRAL. 2009 didn't went great, but at least aligned with my expectations after all.
This year I want to reiterate the experiment: I think it helped me evaluate how the year was going and helped keep me focused with what I planned to do.
Is this too much for just one year? I guess it's not. We'll see at the beginning of April when I'll do my first update on how my plans for 2010 are going.
[Ilanaaq, the inukshuk by Tim on Flickr]
Did you ever rename a file from inside Visual Studio? Did you ever move a file from one folder to another from inside Visual Studio? I think you did.
And what happened when you tried to commit your changes to a SVN repository with Tortoise SVN?
You probably got this:
Here I moved a file named MonitoringControllerTest.cs file from the root to the Controller folder: Tortoise SVN didn't recognize the file as just moved, but instead it found a new file in the Controller folder, and a missing file in the root folder.
If you want Tortoise to understand "moves" you have to do it from the File Explorer, dragging the file to the destination folder with the secondary mouse button while holding the Shift key. But this is annoying because you always have to move back and forth between Visual Studio and Explorer.
A few days ago I found this feature, maybe I was the only one in the world not aware of it: Repair Move.
If, from inside the commit dialog, you select the two files that are supposed to be the same, and right click on them, you will find this new menu command: Repair Move.
When you click on it, Tortoise SVN will recognize the two files as a move operation instead of a new file and a delete, and the commit dialog will show it in the way it shows moved files (a delete and an added +).
The same command also fixes rename operations.
I don't know since how long this feature is available, but if I had found it out before, this would have saved me quite a few time.
Another option would have been adding something like VisualSVN or AnkhSVN that will automatically marks moves (together with a lot of other things). But I don't like the integrated SVN clients.
UPDATE: My DNS have now been updated, email seems to be working fine, also from Exchange servers, sorry again for any problem that might have caused.
If you sent me an email in the last days and you got an error back, please try it again now in a few day, or contact me on twitter @simonech. Same problem happened if you contacted my through the contact page of my blog.
Also, if you are sending emails through an Exchange server (like if you are from Microsoft) you probably got a similar DNS error since the beginning of December: I'm really sorry for this and please sent the me your email again, and I'll try to answer it immediately.
If you are interested in why that all happened continue reading...
During last autumn I decided I would have discontinued my WebHost4Life account
I thought that moving sites was difficult, but transferring a domain to another host is even more: the biggest problem is when you cannot afford to have a single moment without having the correct DNS records for your domain, especially for your email service to keep on working.
I had to contact Aruba via a support ticket to ask them to pre-configure the DNS with my records, because they change the authoritative NS to they own (instead of keeping the old ones) and they don't let you do it yourself before the domain has been successfully transferred to them. They probably screwed something up, and I was not able to receive emails from people sending from Exchange.
I discovered this problem just before Christmas, and yesterday, when I finally had time to sit down and try to fix the problem I asked them to move the authoritative NS to the one of Linked Labs, which is holding all my other DNS records. The problem is that they immediately deleted all my DNS records on their servers (piyosailing.com is not working either). This wouldn't have been a problem if the NS change was done automatically upon the request from the admin tool. Unfortunately for me it seems like NS changes have to be manually approved. So, as result, I'm without email for the weekend because, obviously, their support team is not working on weekends.
I hope everything goes back to normal in few days. Sorry for the problems
