Senoia wants speed zone for charter school on Hwy. 16
Senoia is attempting to cut down on the potential for accidents in the vicinity of the Coweta Charter Academy on Ga. Highway 16 on the city's west side by petitioning the Ga. Dept. of Transportation (DOT) to approve a school zone speed limit during regular school hours. The proposal may be a no-go due to the school not having enough students to meet DOT requirements.
The Coweta Charter Academy is located on the site of the Peachtree Baptist Church between Old Highway 85 and Morgan Road. The City Council in an amendment to the speed limit ordinance wants a school zone speed limit instituted that would lower the speed from 55 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour during school hours. The ordinance amendment proposal was introduced at the July 16 meeting.
DOT so far is not in favor of the idea, citing the school's enrollment at 180 students, 120 shy of the requirement that a school have an enrollment of 300 students to qualify for a speed limit reduction. That said, DOT did agree for a school zone sign to be posted to remind motorists that a school exists in the immediate area.
The city would also like the speed reduced from 55 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour beginning at Rock House Road, also on the city's west side. The reasoning has to do with motorists making left turns onto Pylant Street near the new library. Amounting to a main turn-off into the downtown area, the Pylant/Hwy. 16 intersection is one where vehicles approaching from the left have been rear-ended.
The city is currently awaiting the results of a traffic study recently performed by DOT.

We finally got her to take 2/3 breast milk mixed with 1/3 Earths Best organic formula.
I was a milk donor so I am familiar with the programs (donated 3,400oz with both kids). However, I know the supply is so limited that I would feel bad taking milk from a baby that "needs" it for medical reasons if mine will take the mixed formula/breastmilk. She is 9 months old and healthy and I have found an organic milk that I feel ok with so far. I wish it was only my milk but I think I have finally come to terms with the fact that she will not be on only milk for her first 2 years like my first was.
It will take time but we will get there I hope.

I was walking my dogs along the Chemung River after work Wednesday and as usual we saw lots of birds.
Among them were a flock of ducks floating on the water, which from a distance appeared to be mallards.
I couldn't help thinking how much I would love to be crouched in some bushes nearby, clutching a shotgun rather than a leash. We weren't far from a spot on the river where I often hunt ducks early in the morning, and that added to the feeling.
I saw a lot of geese as well, as well as the usual gulls, great blue herons and something I had never seen before. On a few occasions this year, I've seen big wading birds that were snow white. I did a little online research and confirmed my suspicion that they appeared to be snowy egrets.
I was a little surprised because as I said, I have never seen them before, and according to the research I did, they are not common in this area. Lucky too for them that they aren't game birds. Then again, by October, I'm sure the ducks and geese will be a lot warier too. I know I'll have to work for it if I am going to put any waterfowl in the bag.
But the itch is there.

Anyone even distractedly following Urban Meyer's career as a head coach knows that his spread attack can be extremely explosive.
The system is based on getting the ball to the offense's most talented players in an optimal position to excel. Therefore, when executed properly, the athlete can utilize his specific skill set and produce an explosive play.
Meyer and his coaching staff focused on reeling in more speed and athleticism at offensive skill positions in their 2013 recruiting class. They wanted to add a plethora of weapons to their spread attack, and they succeeded.
Add these new explosive recruits with current weapons on the roster who've had a year of experience in the new offense, and that is a pretty dangerous line-up.
Who's the most explosive option for the Buckeyes? Is it an incoming freshman or a seasoned wideout? Is it even a wide receiver? Exactly what does "explosive" entail?
For the sake of this slideshow, I'm defining "explosive" as the ability to turn any given play into a highlight. These are the offensive weapons with the ability to drop jaws and end up on ESPN on any given Saturday.

Just what is this "climate change"?
As Southern England suffers storm after storm, and Julia Sligo of the Met Office insinuates that climate change may be to blame, it's instructive to see tweets looking back to those distant days when climate change enthusiasts predicted it would cause dryer weather.
Thus in 2006 George Monbiot claimed that "the freshwater boom is over. Our rivers are starting to run dry"! We can avert global thirst, he said - "but it means cutting carbon emissions by 60%".
And in 2012 we were told that Caroline Spelman had said climate change could mean that drought is "the new normal". She urged water companies to produce long-term plans for saving water.
But what is this "climate change"? It can't be the dry (or now wet) weather, because that was (or is) supposedly an effect of this climate change. It can't be increasing emissions of carbon dioxide, because that is just what it says, increases in a trace gas going into the atmosphere.
Can it be global warming? That stopped 17 years ago and hasn't restarted. How would that work, then? It caused dryer weather and now it's causing wetter weather? A stalled temperature rise causes whatever the weather happens to be at the time - even if that weather isn't unprecedented?
So what is this "climate change"?
"Climate change" is an empty black box. Into it go increased emissions of a trace gas, out of it come droughts or floods, take your pick. Maybe plagues of locusts? If the locusts appear, George and Caroline, all the Lib Dems, and Ed Miliband, and the other charlatans will claim a consensus of climate scientists predicted them all along, while the Environment Agency will create reserves where the locusts can flourish.
Anything to try to justify their compulsion to control us - however implausible, however tawdry.

Yes, I know, climate change is very hard to understand. Why, it could be anything at all.
...Unless, of course, you actually read and attempt to comprehend the science behind it.
The science predicts more frequent extremes in the hydrologic cycle (heavier rains or stronger droughts) and that, in general and over time, already wet places will become wetter and already dry places will become more dry.

Solves all my backcountry food issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
At first, I laughed. Then while chuckling, realized I really could eat anything with this combo. It seems ridiculous, and totally is, but does its job splendidly. The chopsticks are not slick, and have a hearty grip on the spork so it won't slide off with use. But on the other side of the coin, its also not a battle to get the combo together or apart. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of joining and dismantling.
The real reason I bought this was for Mountain House / Backpacker Pantry type of food. I always have to wait until my food is ice cold to avoid burning my knuckles, or put on glove liners eating. With this though, it gets straight to the bottom of the bag with ease, and the tiny little teeth for the spork is just what you need to grab that last chicken and rice hiding in the corner of the pouch.
First thing I did, was get rid of the metal case it comes in, and subbed it out for a fabric sunglasses case. The chopsticks just BARELY poke out of the end, but it keeps them together, also saves weight and space.
just the case on the scale

Great Gift of Gadget Junkies
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I agree with the other reviews, this item is a bit ridiculous. Truthfully, I had to try it out because I was wasting some time on our site looking for a new camp kitchen gadget and thinking "I could really use some kind of chopstick/spoon combo".
Serendipitously these popped up.
I was incredibly surprised by the grip the chopsticks have on the spork. I'm in love with Mountain House and Backpacker's Pantry so I really needed a casual camping/hiking utensil that could reach the bottom of the bag. I expected the chopsticks to slide right out when I started stirring, but surprisingly I had to really tug on them to get them to come apart. Maybe this will change over time as the wood wears out.
The bowl of the spork is not as deep as I would like, but it is deep enough to hold a heaping helping of a Mountain House meal. Not the best soup spoon though. Four stars for that.
This will definitely be my go to camp kitchen utensil, regardless.
hahaha ! Destiny!
Great review!
Makes a great gift!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a neat spork/chopstick combination and the way they fit together is really cool. It comes in a really nice tin that makes this GREAT as a gift. However, it is a little heavy for lightweight backpacking. The spork weighs in at 0.8 ounces and the chopsticks at 0.5 for a total of 1.3 ounces. (This doesn't include the tin case). Plus, the chopsticks can sometimes move around a little when set inside the spork so, while ingenious, it is not perfect.
Multifunction Device
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm sure that this looks like an unreasonable gadget to some people but I do like the multifunction aspect of having a longer spoon and a set of chopsticks in one device. I share the concern of others that the chopsticks might break but I have thought of removing the foam pad in the box and packing other small items that I take along there as well which would adequately protect them. Even if the chopsticks break they appear to be a standard size that could be replaced by store bought ones.
My go to camping utensil
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a multi-functional, lightweight utensil that has good length and reach for comfortably stirring boiling pots and reaching deep into dehydrated dinner packages. I love using the sticks alone for tortellini and noodles. Stores nicely because the chopsticks and spoon pull apart. My only worry would be that the chopsticks could potentially break under too much heavy weight in a stuffed backpack.
Kung Foon, Great for Dehydrated Foods
Just grabbed a couple of these GSI Outdoors Titanium Kung Foons, half out of curiosity and half out of the need for a camping spork. Price wasn't all that much higher than the standard fork options, and the chopstick extension feels like a pretty solid idea for dehydrated food packs. Amazing overall quality with the spoon, chopsticks, and even the packaging.
Taking these down to Havasu Falls, AZ this coming week, hoping to edit this after some actual use.
Left off the 5th star due to the simple fact that any person not really needing/wanting a spork would have zero use for the chopsticks. Knife + stick = free chopsticks.

I don't care who's a better or worse parent. Seriously, they all suck. Even Bope leave their kid tied up in a corner 18 hours a day.
EJ and Will was awesome entertainment that many enjoyed and kept the show interesting to people who might have quit watching. Their relationship was fresh and something different. It brought a lot of press to the show, and helped grow Chandler as an actor, and made sense because of the way the actors played it. JS and CM always looked like they were enjoying the hell out of their scenes so I went along for the ride, enjoying them too, happily taking a break from the rotating couple drama. It's really not any more complicated than that for me. It was fun, and a breath of refresh air.

I love EJill not because a think it's a healthy relationship, but because I think it's an entertaining one where they are always trying to get the better of each other. It's dysfunctional. It's all wrong. It's bad news. It's so much fun to watch. It's a twisted version of Mr. Burns and Smithers, and it truly could be a dramatic sticking point if Will ever does realize how good Sonny would be for him.

Agree. We already, sadly, have Sami panting after three guys and acting like a horny fool. We don't need to ruin Nicole by having her do the same thing and getting involved in a triangle with Daniel.

|Chad start using your brain buddy, Geez,....
|Aug 11 2012, 12:20 PM Post #993
i thought that was eric. because they were twins, eric and sami always had that special connection and we were told that that they knew each other the best.
anyway, sami spent her life scheming against carrie and sabotaging her life and carrie was never the wiser. she kept giving sami the benefit of the doubt and sami would still stab her in the back. if she knows sami so well, why doe she keep falling victim for her scheme?
i personally think carrie and sami have not been close since they were kids.
|Aug 11 2012, 12:25 PM Post #994
|wasn't lucas the one who exposed sami on her latest scheme against carrie? you know the whole sami blackmailing lexie and pretending carrie can not conceive fiasc.. if memory serves, carrie had no idea what sami was up to? of course, my memory is fuzzzy, but that is how i remember it.
|Aug 11 2012, 12:32 PM Post #995
was he supposed to turn the other cheek when will blackmailed him? that is not the ej i know and love. i do agree though that the reason ej was 'nice' about it is because he has the hots for sami. :laugh: :laugh:
|Aug 11 2012, 12:41 PM Post #996
i understand that. but as a parent, sometimes you have to let go a little and let your grown child make their own mistakes so they can learn from them. if you keep bailing them out and protect them too much,they will become weak and will not be able stand on their own...like lucas.
the reason lucas is such a pathetic wuss is because he was a mama boy. kate smothered him and bailed him out. he never had to take responsibility for his actions. sometimes our children need tough love. you can give them advise from your experience but if they choose not to listen, that is on them. a parent should not constantly fight their battle for them. it keeps them from growing.

|Yeah. I didn't say anything about Carrie and Sami being close.

Significant declines in indicators of civic behavior identify Americans' decreased connectedness to each other, their communities, and participation in the process of government and solving problems together. Universities across the United States are working to revitalize college students' involvement in the processes of democracy. This move to increase students' engagement in their communities and nation has implications for nursing education and the profession. Nurse educators are advised to use experiential learning to teach skills of civic engagement, political advocacy, and policymaking and to be role models and mentors to foster the growth of nurse citizens in the profession.

Berkeley Meadow rebooted: The wildest place in town
By Jim Rosenau
In 1961, the Oakland Tribune reported that the city of Berkeley planned to fill another 2,000 acres of shoreline for development, including building an airport. The story prompted Berkeleyans Sylvia McLaughlin, Kay Kerr and Esther Gulick to call a meeting with local conservation groups and found the Save San Francisco Bay Association (now Save The Bay), one of the earliest and most successful regional environmental organizations in the world. (For those of … Continue reading »

In the video below, you can find out what the two thought of the $550 camera, which sports a 3-inch LCD screen and features 1080p video recording. It has new functionality, like custom filters, but ultimately the two find that this version of the camera isn't much of an upgrade over the original Nikon 1.

So here is my product description: multi-faceted, vibrant and intelligent woman that doesn't fit well in any one particular box. Over the course of a recent week, I could be found:
1. Stylin' in stilettos
2. Bohemian in (hiking) boots
3. Dancing in a nightclub
4. Sleeping in a tent (at the Philly Folk Fest)
Additional details: avid reader, spiritual seeker, mother, grandmother, nurse, perplexed homeowner, tech-challenged Boomer.
As for my targeted market, it's a very small niche....ideally just one man. He is intelligent, quick-witted, romantic, easy-going but lively, with varied interests and a willingness to try new things. He is also open-minded and non-judgmental. It would be nice if he shared my varied interests, but I'd be happy if he's just willing to participate sometimes.

Paging the spirit of Sam Walton.
"Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community." –Sam Walton
Hmm, pretty powerful stuff their by Mr. Sam. Well, here is some pretty powerful stuff by Mr. Soz: "Wal-Mart U.S. stores are devoid of the retailing principles and social values set forth by legend of the aisles Sam Walton. In fact, have you EVER seen a picture of Sam Walton in a Wal-Mart store? Better still while we are going all out here, approach a Wal-Mart associate (they are not "employees") and ask for "3 Things to Know" about Mr. Sam; likely you will get an awkward pause, and then an "I am not too sure." I think the disconnect of the rapidly growing Wal-Mart U.S. store base from the founding values of the company and ongoing initiatives, which are trumpeted by executives at HQ, could be readily seen by those interested in looking. I was interested in looking, so I took it to the street!
What spurred this investigation? On Wal-Mart's recent analyst day, it was shared that the bottom 10% of its U.S. stores (300 or so) were producing a same-store sales result of -7.5%. Umm, wow?! "There has to be a series of fundamental reasons for such an alarming stat", I thought. Now, I have no clue if the stores I visited are part of this bottom 10%, there isn't a red asterisk on the electronically sliding entrance doors. But, I fancy that it's safe to say that the 29 photos I snapped below are more common across the U.S. chain than outliers (as Wal-Mart will tell you and I after reading this). Enjoy!
Quick Background
For Wal-Mart to be supremely successful each quarter and each year financially, which then leads to a bounty for shareholders, it has to execute on its "productivity loop." The diagram below is often shown by Wal-Mart executives in the hopes of reassuring investors and analysts that it remains a highly efficient organization that rarely disappoints its customer base. If one component of this productivity loop is broken or not delivered upon very strongly, an already slim profit margin business will become slimmer, as will the returns to shareholders.
4 Things these 29 Disturbing Photos Hint At
- Store managers are not motivating associates.
- Associates are not emotionally connected to Wal-Mart's brand, meaning an unwillingness to go above and beyond to execute for the benefit of customers.
- Associates are not being properly trained.
- The innards of the company (systems, processes, etc.) are not keeping pace with Wal-Mart's desire to end the careers of traditional supermarkets while continuing to aggressively open supercenters.
The Vertical Slideshow
There is no denying Wal-Mart's aspirations to be a supermarket/convenience store/dollar store all rolled up into a large box. At every corner of the store, the company is trying to tempt its economically sensitive customer base. However…
Empty Coolers
To drive an impulse item that could help profit margins don't you need to have the product in stock to lure in the eye?
See where my hand is? That is an empty row where product is supposed to be presented to customers.
When was the last time your local supermarket frozen section was missing something you had a coupon for?
Food, Paper Goods, Basics Out of Stocks
Again, think for a second: when was the last time you went to a supermarket and veggies and frozen meat were not in stock? Or how about rows of paper goods being MIA? Exactly. Supermarkets may not offer everything (not spotted there: oil change bay), but they do what they do quite well: offer customers trust that product will be there when they want it.
Takeaway: can't log a sale and maintain customer loyalty if you ain't got the product!
Notice it's the "Great Value" Wal-Mart private label out of stock….there is an economic message here as well.
A national brand out of stock in Hanes (stock symbol: HBI) seems weird.
Retail is detail…so why is that cereal box upside down?
One golden rule of supermarket retailing: be in stock on spices.
"Rice of Cards"…
Stuff Randomly Sitting in Boxes/Or Out of Place
Merchandise sitting idle on hand pull machines while the store is open? Every good collecting dust in a box by the millisecond is a lost sales opportunity today (transaction) and possibly in the future (customer is disappointed in the experience) for Wal-Mart. These photos, to me, suggest unmotivated associates that are not being trained correctly. Have you ever seen this at Target? Specialty apparel retailers set their merchandise in the wee hours in the morning.
Online is very important to Wal-Mart nowadays, so why is this relevant piece of marketing being buried in the FRONT of the store, may want to pull the sign out…
Kinda creepy photo to be honest.
Yes, HQ, look closely at the box numbers… you may be able to see where I visited.
Spiderman can hurdle these boxes with no prob.
Not only are these apples sitting in the water section, but they were soft to the touch (look at the dent in the middle one)…suggesting they have been sitting for a while. No associate noticed this? If they did, couldn't walk it back to the grocery section? These apples = a wasted investment.
Wal-Mart's old school motto: "stack it high and watch it fly!" Apparent new motto: "drop it low so it sells slow."
How I felt upon leaving the store.

Dry-cow treatment cures about 40 percent to 60 percent of cows infected with major mastitis pathogens at dry off, says Ynte Schukken, veterinarian at Cornell University.
Schukken summarized several factors which impact the cure rate of dry-treated cows at the National Mastitis Council's annual meeting held in Reno, Nev., in February. Understanding how these criteria influence cure rates can help you fine-tune the use of dry-cow antibiotics in your herd. Here are some of the factors outlined by Schukken and their influence on cure rates:
- Age of the cow. Older cows tend to have a lower probability of cure compared to first-lactation animals.
- Somatic cell count before dry off. Cows with higher cell counts before dry-off were less likely to be cured.
- Number of quarters infected. Cows with more than one quarter infected were less likely to be cured.
- Antibiotic susceptibility. If a cow is infected with penicillin-resistant Staph. aureus mastitis, her cure rate is substantially lowered.
- Choice of antibiotics. Proper choice of antibiotics tends to influence cure rate.
- Combination of treatments. Antibiotic treatment combined with parenteral or intravenous therapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect on cure rates.

HOW YOU KNOW THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND: A 527 is raising money in a DA's race. A DA's race! Leslie Hansen, a Republican candidate for DA in the 18th Judicial District, has a 527 that's collected more than $33,000 in contributions, which is more than she's received through regular contributions to her political campaign. There is no limit on contributions to 527 campaigns, but contributions to formal campaigns are limited to $400. Hansen will face George Brauchler in a Republican primary later this month. Brauchler has out raised Hansen to this point in contributions to his official campaign. Brauchler won the judicial district assembly this year with 47 percent of the vote while none of his three opponents received the required 30 percent to make the ballot outright. Hansen, with 27 percent, petitioned onto the ballot.

A concerning new study found that the aerosol from electronic cigarettes contains higher levels of measurable nanoparticle heavy metals than conventional tobacco smoke.
A new study published in the journal PLoS One has uncovered a concerning fact about electronic cigarettes (EC): toxic metal and silicate particles including nanoparticles are present in both the cigarette fluid and aerosol.1
Researchers at the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience, University of California Riverside, tested the hypothesis that electronic cigarettes (EC) contain metals from various components in EC. They employed a variety of testing methods to ascertain the level of contamination, including light and electron microscopy, cytotoxicity testing, and x-ray microanalysis. Their results were reported as follows:
The filament, a nickel-chromium wire, was coupled to a thicker copper wire coated with silver. The silver coating was sometimes missing. Four tin solder joints attached the wires to each other and coupled the copper/silver wire to the air tube and mouthpiece. All cartomizers had evidence of use before packaging (burn spots on the fibers and electrophoretic movement of fluid in the fibers). Fibers in two cartomizers had green deposits that contained copper. Centrifugation of the fibers produced large pellets containing tin. Tin particles and tin whiskers were identified in cartridge fluid and outer fibers. Cartomizer fluid with tin particles was cytotoxic in assays using human pulmonary fibroblasts. The aerosol contained particles >1 µm comprised of tin, silver, iron, nickel, aluminum, and silicate and nanoparticles (<100 nm) of tin, chromium and nickel. The concentrations of nine of eleven elements in EC aerosol were higher than or equal to the corresponding concentrations in conventional cigarette smoke. Many of the elements identified in EC aerosol are known to cause respiratory distress and disease.
The study authors concluded that "The presence of metal and silicate particles in cartomizer [atomizer/cartridge connecting to the battery] aerosol demonstrates the need for improved quality control in EC design and manufacture and studies on how EC aerosol impacts the health of users and bystanders."
Figure 1. Cartomizer anatomy, from the full PLoS One article. View Here
While e-cigarettes are rightly marketed as safer than conventional tobacco cigarettes, which contain thousands of known toxic compounds including highly carcinogenic radioactive isotopes, they have not been without controversy. In May 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis found diethylene glycol, a poisonous liquid used in explosives and antifreeze, in one of the cartridges they sampled. They also discovered the cancer-causing agent, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, in a number of commonly used brands.2
The findings of this latest PLoS One study refutes proponents of e-cigarettes who claim that the health risks of smoking are eliminated with their use. Heavy metals like tin, aluminum, cadmium, lead and selenite are increasingly being recognized as carrying significant endocrine disrupting potential and belong to a class of metals known as 'metalloestrogens.'

Americans owe more than a trillion dollars in student loan debt. That's more than we owe on credit cards, more than we owe on car loans – and it's still growing.
So, if you're going to invest in a college degree, we want you to be able to choose the best deal for your situation. Students are overwhelmed with options and aren't sure how to compare them. In the absence of apples-to-apples comparisons, they're left to their own devices when making a choice that will have significant consequences for their financial future.
Here is the suite of tools we've developed to help you along the way:
Paying for CollegeFrom start to finish, we can help you make informed financial decisions about paying for college.
Repay student debtWhile we can't give you advice for your exact situation, we can point you in the right direction.
Choose a loanThree steps that can help you get the right loan for you.
Submit a complaint about a student loan or a bank account or serviceWe'll forward your issue to the company, give you a tracking number, and keep you updated on the status of your complaint. Even if you have federal loans, we can help make sure you get to the right place to submit a complaint.
Managing your college moneyChoosing your first bank account is an important decision. Unlike that first school ID photo, your first banking relationship could last long after you graduate. Making a smart decision now will mean fewer surprise fees that can add up later.
Compare financial aid and college costWe're building a tool that will let you compare financial aid offers so you can see how all those numbers impact your payments down the road.

Kicker Studio has come a long way since our start in September 2008. Although the recession has certainly taken its toll and kept us from doing what we'd planned, it's also helped us do things we hadn't expected. And those things may have helped us grow in important and unexpected ways.
Over the past ten months, we've had to take things in stride, recognizing opportunities in disappointment, and celebrating successes with moderated excitement. We've learned to follow our intuition and do what we enjoy; and we've had the fortune to have seen and played with technologies that won't be around commercially for years. And the work we've done to stay together has taught us how to be a true team.
As for me, it's been a trying year; but asked today if I'd do it again, I'd say yes. I can't imagine doing anything else. Here's why. We believe in staying focused on some simple things that have kept us going:
Mark your successes.
Our concept project, The Kicker Touchscreen Conference Phone was a success. We enjoyed the process, and we're proud of the outcome. We've had a great response from the design, gadget, and VOIP communities and a lot of interest in where we're taking it next. (We've got a waiting list of buyers for once we get it built!) More importantly, we learned a lot about working together, and proved to ourselves that our collaborative approach to product design works.
Since then, we've met the challenges of the new economy head on and come out fighting. We had a strong message, and now a strong showpiece. So when our pipeline began to thin again, we did what any designers would do—primary research. We needed to get our message to the right people. So we talked to experts in the field, devised a plan, and charged ahead. It's all or nothing when your business's future is on the line.
Design what moves you.
It hasn't been easy, but we've pushed ourselves to explore what it means to create work that has meaning for us, designing concepts that are deeply personal while still having relevance as Kicker projects. For example, we collaborated on a short exercise to design a concept phone for my father, addressing his communication issues specifically. Projects like these remind us that while it's important to do what you're good at, it's equally important to do what moves you.
Engage the community.
We've had a lot of good press for a company so young, with coverage in publications like Crunchgear, Boing Boing, Core77 (twice!), Wired, and now Fast Company. We're lucky to be well supported by the design community as well—our blog Kick It has nearly 1000 RSS subscribers, and we've got over 1000 followers on Twitter. We've been given opportunities to engage the community in conversation through speaking engagements and blog posts, and contribute to research studies on designing for new interactions.
Don't get fooled by your pipeline.
We've got clients: four of them! For the first time this year, we're all engaged in billable work. We're still focused on new opportunities, and new leads are coming in every day.
But we're not so easily fooled. Unemployment numbers rose again in June, and we've been here before. We still have no idea what the next six months will be like. But because of the work we've done to get here we're stronger, and we're ready for what comes next.
Reflect, review, reassess.
Kicker Studio will be officially a year old next month. We're one of many stories of startups who have hung in through a trying first year, and when we celebrate that fateful opening day in September, we'll do what most new companies do: reflect on the past year, review our plan, and reassess our goals. We'll be especially thankful that we've made it this far; hopeful that we're through the worst the economy has to offer.
But really, we're just getting started. As we continue to grow, we look forward to new challenges that require a different kind of discipline and focus. Of course we'll continue to change over time, refining our roles, strategically defining organization through the people we hire.
This experience has taught us that even in the toughest financial climate, being passionate about what you do, and focusing on the future really does count for a lot. It's going to get a lot harder before it gets easier, and for it to work, it will be work. You won't make a lot of money at first, but there are other rewards. And hey, if you're going to get laid off, at least you get to give yourself the boot.
We're excited about where we're going. I hope you are too. Follow our progress on our blog, Kick It, or via Twitter.

We always need help in providing extraordinary customer service to runners, walkers, and other passionate exercise fanatics, as well as folks that just simply need great shoes. Fleet Feet Sports is a fun and rewarding place to work for people that have a passion for quality and great service. Many of our most successful team members were our customers first, and they love and appreciate the service we offer and understand the expectation for service that goes with being a part of this team. If you're a runner and want to be part of that, and if you love working with people, excellent! We need to talk! Right now, we're looking to add part-time people to join our sales team.
Are you right for us? Are we right for you? Test yourself with these questions!
Are you a runner that's passionate about running and fitness? Our customers expect us to identify with their goals and aspirations. They'll want to chat with you about running & walking, and to share your own running experiences with them, the injuries you've had, and how great running is.
Do you have a sales sense? Our customers appreciate learning about our products, from shoe technology, to the importance of carrying a hydration pack. You should be comfortable (even passionate and excited!) about suggesting items people might enjoy.
Are you good at switching gears? When customer traffic slows, you will find yourself busy with stocking, and other related chores. But when somebody walks in the door, your focus has to switch 100% to friendly customer service. Additionally, if you want to spread your running passion by being a coach in one of our training programs, that works too!
Can you stay calm and friendly when it's busy? Imagine providing superior service to two customers at the same time while two more customers are waiting. They all want the same level of attention and care, they want it in a timely fashion and they want you to be friendly and appreciative. Things can get very busy here and there is always something to be done. Expect a fast pace, especially on Saturdays and during track and cross country season.
Are you a team player? Fleet Feet is like a family and we work closely with each other, sometimes with other things on our minds. But no matter what, your team members will be counting on you to be here when you're scheduled. We all depend on each other and support each other.
Are you willing to learn? People know us as the FIT experts. "FIT" does not just refer to shoes but to all of our products and services. You'll need to make an effort to get educated about our running shoes, apparel and accessories, so that you can deliver the level of service our customers have come to expect. We sell a lot of sports bra's and women expect all of us to know our stuff! We'll always be here to help you, but it will be up to you to ask questions and take the time to learn.
Do you sweat the small stuff? It's the thoughtful little touches that make a "specialty" store special, like remembering customers names and what type of shoe they wear. Going the extra mile for a customer is what sets us apart from everyone else.
Are you patient and willing to serve people? We expect and need our team members to have a warm, welcoming attitude towards customers - to smile and greet them as soon as they walk in, to talk with them, to serve their needs, to take time with them. If you feel shy or awkward talking with people you might not like this type of working environment.
Are you available on Saturday? In this business, Saturdays are an important time so you must be available to work when needed.
Still interested? If you answered "yes" to these questions that's GREAT! Please complete this online employment application.

Product integrity strategist – process improvement
Hallmark Cards Inc.
Kansas City, Mo.
I am a product integrity strategist, process improvement with Hallmark Cards Inc. The vision of product integrity at Hallmark is "to protect Hallmark's brand equity and 'social license to operate' by ensuring our products meet customer and consumer expectations of quality, are safe, compliant with all laws and regulations, and made in a manner consistent with our standards of ethical sourcing and environmental sustainability." In my role, I am responsible for the proactive review of our processes, systems and metrics. This involves data analysis, root cause problem solving for system and process issues, project management and training. I manage a team focused on process improvement and systems.
Based in Kansas City, Mo., Hallmark has more than 13,000 employees worldwide and relies on both internally manufactured and sourced products to ship to more than 40,000 retail outlets, including 3,000 Gold Crown stores.
Successful problem solving is the most satisfying aspect of my work. The best part of my job is when my team adds value to a process or resolves an issue.
A perfect day at work for me would involve team problem solving – from the beginning to the end of an entire process. It's not enough to correct one problem if it causes another problem upstream or downstream. It is important for the team to look at the end-to-end process and work together to develop and implement improvements.
We just recently introduced our new product integrity organization, bringing together our creative and supply chain quality organizations. I'm excited about being part of the leadership team that is building this new organization and discovering ways to improve organizational effectiveness.

Cabbage Patch Kids Join Barbie
September 24, 1994
Move over, Barbie. Mattel Inc. says it plans to manufacture the Cabbage Patch Kids, beginning in 1995. The dolls, created by Original Appalachian Artworks Inc., are among the best-selling toys of all time. Coleco acquired the rights to the dolls in 1983, and Hasbro bought them in 1990.
Shares of toymaker Jakks Pacific likely to rise-Barron's

July 15 (Reuters) - Jakks Pacific Inc's share price is likely to reach $20 within the next year, 26 percent above its current level, as the maker of licensed toys, furniture and apparel introduces a slew of new products, Barron's said in its July 16 edition. That price target is equal to what private equity firm Oaktree Capital Management had offered to pay for Jakks in an unsolicited takeover bid last September. Talks on a possible acquisition broke down...
`Cabbage Patch Kids' Tales Boast Strong Stories
By Scott Blakey, Entertainment News Service
October 24, 1996
Here's a confession: Ever since they were introduced in 1977 by an enterprising toy designer with a great gift for separating grown-ups from hard-earned cash, I've loathed Cabbage Patch dolls. When the toy company ran into problems some years ago, and the dolls' popularity apparently waned, my joy was soaring. And when a couple of weeks ago two new Cabbage Patch videos arrived from BMG, my mood turned vile. Though loath to admit it, I must report that they are not...

Manchurian Candidate diet for America

Atkins Nutritionals, the company founded by diet guru Robert Atkins to cash in on--I mean, spread the word about--his low-carb diet, has filed for bankruptcy. It turns out that people don't really need or want everything to be low-carb.

Synthetic fibers in plaids. And then there are the Cabbage Patch Kids.

In Shopping For Toys, Think Gross

A visit to a toy store these days is not unlike a stroll through hell. Over there, for example, one notices a monstrosity called Slobulus--a bouncing head with an eye hanging from the socket. And over there one gazes upon the illegitimate offspring of Cabbage Patch Kids--trading cards called Garbage Pail Kids. They resemble Cabbage Patch Kids and they may be cute in their own way, but their own way is best described as gross. In fact, "Gross!" is what you`re mostly like to hear from...

So I ventured into American Girl Place, just off Michigan Avenue at 111 E. Chicago Ave. -- the first store of its kind. Actually it is as much a museum, gallery and fantasyland as...

How do we at Baja Burrito do what we do? This video shows how we make some of our authentic Mexican dishes.
In 1992 Colin Saeger married Martha Barrientos, who was born in the State of Guanajuato Mexico, and introduced him to real Mexican food; not just tacos, chips and salsa.
Colin is a chef and has been in the restaurant industry for over 30 years. When Martha introduced him to carnitas, they became his favorite. Unfortunately, the carnitas he tried at other establishments were often dry or very greasy. Colin told Martha that he would come up with a recipe for carnitas to be moist and healthy, and then some day open a Mexican taqueria. Colin's carnitas have now been Baja Burrito's trade mark.
He also loved his mother in law's salsas and Mexican rice. And she was more than happy to share her recipes at the taqueria.

On his first released album Famous Among the Barns and his EP #1, Taylor collaborated with friends Adam MacDougall and Larry Ciancia to form "The Ben Taylor Band." Ultimately deciding that this path (which yielded music that Taylor describes as "neo-psychedelic folk funk") did not represent his true musical nature, Taylor released a follow-up solo album that is much more acoustic in nature and more in line with his family roots. That solo effort, Another Run Around the Sun, featured backing vocals by his sister and mother, with Taylor as vocalist and guitarist, Peter Calo on Guitars, Larry Ciancia as drummer, and bass guitar by Kevin Bacon who also produced the album.
Taylor's most recent role was that of Cal Cooper on American Dreams (2004). He has also appeared on the UK show Always and Everyone (1999).
Taylor's cover of Macy Gray's "I Try" was used in a Honey Nut Cheerios television commercial in Canada aired late 2008, early 2009.
Taylor recently appeared as himself on the ABC Family Reality summer hit, The Vineyard (2013)
Charitable work[edit]
Taylor appears on the CD Too Many Years contributing the original track "Listen to The Music" to benefit Clear Path International's work with land mine survivors.
Personal and early life[edit]
Taylor attended high school at Tabor Academy, a college preparatory boarding school in Marion, Massachusetts.
Taylor has been training in martial arts since he was a teenager. According to the December 2008 issue of Black Belt Magazine, Taylor has trained extensively in qigong, t'ai chi ch'uan, wing chun kung fu, and recently Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Renzo Gracie.[citation needed]
Taylor's sister, Sally Taylor, is also a musician and they have frequently worked together.

The Assessment Approach
What is Measured?
Login to Questionnaire
Core Assessments
Core Assessments was formed with the goal of providing clients with the tools necessary to effectively guide their organisations through complex and challenging change and development activities.
The most valuable tool in our toolkit is our "Core Systems" model, referred to by many of our clients as "The Egg".
The Core Systems model has three primary strengths:
It makes it possible to identify and track the causes of current and future problems within an organisation.
It focuses the assessment process on those factors that are likely to have the most significant impact on establishing and maintaining high levels of organisational output.
It provides a framework that enables decision-makers to design and implement activities that deal with the causes of problems – not their symptoms.
We've used our survey approach in consultations with numerous public and private organisations in Europe and southern Africa and are convinced that it has served as an invaluable planning and change management tool.
