Originally published on Technorati as: Harbortouch POS Announces iPad Tableside Ordering System
There have been more than a few companies who have rolled out iPads on an enterprise level. From municipalities using them for surveying to business intelligence and visual communications and now restaurants and even the point-of-sales systems these businesses run on. Unveiled at the recent Nightclub & Bar Show in Las Vegas last week, Harbortouch Tableside, part of the POS system Harbortouch offers, allows servers to input customer orders directly from the table via a free iPad application.
Demonstrating how the Harbortouch Tableside system works were servers walking the convention center floor. The application is a replica of the actual POS system itself, so there is no learning curve or additional training, provided your servers have general iPad know-how. The orders taken from the iPad are relayed directly to the kitchen or bar, and in essence, make the big POS terminal station obsolete.
Also during the show, Harbortouch announced they would be rolling out a system to take online reservations, or take reservations directly from the POS. This means operators who are using Harbortouch for their point-of-sale will not need to go to a third-party vendor to get sophisticated online reservation systems. These integrations allow operators to keep all their reservations, both online and manually-entered in one place.
iPad ordering systems are nothing new, but considering Harbortouch provides operators free touch-screen POS systems, and there is no extra costs involved for using Tableside or the online ordering system, there is a good possibility we will start to see a lot more restaurants taking orders on iPads instead of note-pads.
As far as operators are concerned, it's more than just the practical efficiencies. Aesthetics and atmosphere also play a part in decisions to use such a powerful device for simply taking an order. Companies, however, are realizing that it is so much more than just a means to an end, and a replacement for pen and pad. iPads are great machines capable of so much more than just being a glorified notepad. By having your servers carrying around these hip, slick, and cool devices you are, by transference, telling your patrons that you are state of the art, associating the creative vibe and energy Apple brings to life with your restaurant, drawing people to it. As this article in Inc. points out, and one restaurant owner says, "The iPad ordering allows the restaurant to make something of a fashion statement while streamlining its ordering system". The owner then goes on, "The customers love it, who doesn't like an iPad?" he says, "they go nuts".
Below is video featuring Jared Isaacman, CEO for Harbortouch reviewing the announcements and talking about how Harbortouch's free POS systems works and what we can look forward to from Harbortouch down the road.

Human Resources: manufacture talent
Faced with an acute talent shortage, employers continue to re-assess how to "manufacture" the talent they need to prosper. For millions of job seekers, this is a frustrating conundrum. Job seekers want to work and have capabilities, but employers are becoming increasingly specific about the skills they want for employment. ManpowerGroup's 2011 Talent Shortage Survey revealed that 52 percent of U.S. employers are having difficulty filling mission-critical positions, up from 14 percent in 2010. The top three jobs identified as the most challenging to fill include skilled trades, sales representatives and engineers. The survey indicated that "old" skill requirements are not meeting the new job demands. To illustrate, the former criterion for hiring a sales representative included assertiveness, a thorough knowledge of product or service, a competitive nature and determination to achieve goals. Now, contrast these with the "new" sales representative competency requirements:

You've all read about it and perhaps even visited. Some of you may have found a second home in the Second Life universe. Greg Verdino left a frank and fair post on marketing in Second Life at MarketingProfs. I linked to his blog here and gave my input. I can only hope it adds to the conversation. It's based on personal experience in the metaverse. I'm curious to see if there is any response. If not - no big deal.
Those who know my postings - albeit sporadic these days - rarely see a negative comment. I look for possibilities as I stumble through technology. I'm not classified as a geek by any means though I consider myself a quick study. Those familiar with CK's blog and collage will find my reason for blogging is learning. Part of the beauty in blogging is the ease and simplicity of the interface. Its also the beauty in a number of social networks I frequent.
Thinking out loud I wonder often about how we can market on social networks and what it means in the long run. At some point we monetize the time we spend and the actions we take. I continue enjoying the ride.
Added 01.08.2007 - and excellent list of links to Second Life hype and a challenge to the size of community it touches.

Bob -- Good input on Greg's blog. As I wrote today on the MProfs blog, what I like about Greg's approach to virtual worlds is its balance -- he's not a cheerleader, encouraging companies to jump on this Next Big Thing. Rather, he's all about education and looking (actually, scrutinizing!) before you leap.
Thanks again for your comment! - 4:42 AM

Thank you, Ann - I hope the conversation remains balanced. As you know the Next Big Thing changes quickly in these parts -
True enough, Bob. Seems like just yesterday that BLOGS were the New Shiny Thing! (Because, well...it was!...lol)
- Gavin said...
Bob, it is good to see you keeping a handle on all this stuff despite not being a geek. I think you are right about the need to be a quick learner ... it is the flexibility of thinking that is important!
Next year, let's see you involved in Movember ... you already have a great head start ;)
Have a great New Year! - 7:25 PM

Thanks Gavin - I hope to be a bit more frequent in my blogging for the new year -

According to The Wall Street Journal, Dell is going to drop its four models of the XPS performance line-up desktops in order to focus more on Alienware and its Aurora dektop systems.
As you may know, Dell purchased Alienware back in 2006, and Dell has let the company do things its own way with everything. Dell is going to shift its focus on Alienware and this might result in some new systems from Alienware.
This, of course, doesn't include Dell's XPS notebooks, which are apparently doing great. This is all going to happen as of next month, at least according to the reports.

Estimating Short-Run Persistence In Mutual Fund Performance
This paper analyzes the properties of a number of estimators that can be used to estimate short-run persistence in mutual fund returns. When data for different funds are pooled, it is advisable to correct for cross-sectional differences in expected returns. However, these adjustments may induce biases in the estimated persistence coefficients and thus lead to spurious persistence. Theoretical derivations, combined with a Monte Carlo study, show that these biases cannot be neglected for the samples that are typically used in applied work. We also estimate the short-run persistence in two samples of U.S. open-end mutual funds using quarterly returns for 1987-1994. An important conclusion is that the results are quite sensitive to the estimation method that is employed. © 2000 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Sunday, November 21, 2010;
In the accelerating debate about airport pat-downs that feel like a clumsy third date and body scans that border on Peeping Tom shows, it's hard to find a sane place to land.
Is this really for our own good? Or are we trading what's left of our human dignity by participating in a Kafkaesque farce that more closely resembles a college fraternity psychology experiment devised around a keg:
"Okay, here's the plan. Americans are terrified of an airplane bomber, right? So let's see what we can get them to do if we promise them safety."
"Like what?"
"I dunno, like let us touch their genitals and use scanners that show them naked, stuff like that."
"No WAY!"
In the three weeks since the Transportation Security Administration began its new scanner/pat-down procedures, hundreds of people have protested. Some have reported to consumer agencies and the American Civil Liberties Union that they've been touched aggressively in the genital area. Others have reported inappropriate commentary about their physiques.
Fair question: Is all this worth it? What price in dignity and privacy are we willing to pay for the illusion of safety? It's not as though flying is a delightful experience with out the sexual harassment.
This Thanksgiving Eve, some number of unhappy travelers are planning to demonstrate their opposition to the TSA's expanded powers by protesting at security check-in or by boycotting travel altogether. Reassurances from the TSA, meanwhile, are less than edifying.
Even though, yes, the scans essentially reveal your jock and bra size, inspectors are sitting elsewhere and don't know the human identity of the exposed corpus.
Nor, we can guess, do they care. The absence of nudist airports isn't on many lists of society's regrettable oversights.
Those who wish not to submit to the body scan, whether out of modesty or concerns about radiation exposure, can submit instead to intimate frisking. Children under 12 are given modified pat-downs, though this isn't much comfort. Touching a 13-year-old boy or girl, possibly the most sensitive creature on the planet, is supposed to be just hunky-dory?
In calculating my own travel plans, I've determined that in flying home for Thanksgiving, I will be scanned or handled going and coming. My predisposition at this writing: I'm just not that into turkey.
This isn't merely a matter of modesty, though that is a consideration. I don't like the idea of some stranger - regardless of whether he or she can see my face - examining my concessions to gravity without my permission. Surrendering to rule shouldn't be confused with granting permission. One is submission; the other an invitation to mutual consent.
As to the alternative, no thank you. The idea of a stranger, even one of the same sex, foraging around my private principalities is simply unacceptable. Forget the creepiness factor, which is sufficient; consider the principle - quickly! - before you get used to the notion that government has the right to do Whatever Is Necessary To Protect You.
From what, if not this?
It isn't at all clear, meanwhile, that such searches will ensure greater safety. Theoretically the idea is to protect us from would-be "Christmas bombers." You recall the chap who tried to blow up a plane by igniting explosive material concealed in his undies. So now none of us is entitled to pantaloon protection.
Heaven forbid that the next inept, would-be terrorist conceals his flammables in his nether region. Shall soon our interior caves and corridors require exploration to ensure that the system works?
It is further reassuring to recall that the Christmas bomber was foiled in his mission when a fellow passenger tackled him. Whereupon, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the tackling was evidence that "the system" works. Ah.
And what happens to these glorious images of dehumanized Americans once their bodies are scanned? How long before we see a montage of the digitally denuded on some Web site?
Notwithstanding government promises to the contrary, they may be preserved. The U.S. Marshals Service conceded this year that some 35,000 images from a scanner at a Florida courthouse security checkpoint had been saved.
The TSA insists that though storage is possible, the storing feature isn't activated when devices are installed at airports. Small comfort.
But more alarming than the apparatuses is our willingness to go lowing into the night. Incrementally, we adapt to the stripping of civil liberties until, with the passage of time and the blinkering of generational memory, we no longer remember when things were otherwise.

Glad it worked 4 U red!
I am a man, and I find that the sex toys for dudes all have teeny-tiny openings that only a chihuahua would be able to fit into, so I do not use them. I just do the old 5-knuckle shuffle until I am filthy or exhausted (sometimes: when I'm lucky. it's both). I did not realize that ladies had difficulty acheiving satisfaction with vibrators before. Thanks for the slightly erotic education.
by DonovanCrane07/11/12Delightful balance for a story
Of course, as usual, your sense of eroticism and pleasure thread throughout the story, in this case tinged with a sense of sweet innocence, which I think just adds to the overall allure of the story. What I found so fun about this story was the strong edge of humor that giggles around the edges. Its subtle; so subtle, in fact, that I certainly wouldn't consider labelling the story as humor, but its like a little accent added to decorate around the edges of an already engrossing read.
Excellent, as usual.Click here to leave your own comment on this submission! or

I was wondering ... what do you think are the unique strengths and contributions of each series to the total trek saga? As for me, I will list them in order of my having seen them so this is most probably a biased view from someone growing up in the 80's (perhaps i will attribute stuff to , say , TNG while TOS has done it before (but I have seen TOS as last series). -- TNG: moral dilemmas, intriguing sci-fi plots with original concepts (a lot of the good stuff has later been done to death, of course, but that is a different matter. For example, take the holodeck. It can be used as an excuse for lazy writing, still there have been excellent stories revolving around the holodeck, such as message in a bottle. Same for the Borg, I think their original depiction was brilliant). -- DS9: the moral 'grey zone', the idea that the galaxy has a lot more room than for only starfleet ideals, sweeping grand arc stories, involving politics, strategies and religion . -- VOY. This one is a bit hard for me. That's not to say that I think it was a bad series, I've just not seen that many concepts I thought to be really interesting that I haven't seen in some form in one of the other series. Perhaps the feeling of being in a truly alien part of the galaxy with no 'home' to fall back upon. -- ENT. The idea of starfleet actually being the underdog with almost all other species having superior technology an a quadrant that you know will be the home of starfleet but in this century still feels quite alien and unsafe. And even your 'friends' the vulcans are assholes you'd rather not ask for help if not absolutely necessary. -- TOS. Depiction of relations among the big three. Somehow, this seems to be done better and more subtly than in later series. I.e. when watching this series, I really get the feeling McCoy, Spock and Kirk are friends, despite all the bickering (and also despite all the obligatory 'I'm glad I'm not an irrational human' puns). In comparison, a lot of the characters in later series seem much more stereotyped to me, even though a lot of charactes were interesting. Also the feeling of not being ashamed to impose an ideal on other civilizations, or to fight for it (I don't mean that the first one is necessarily a good thing in real life, but still, after seeing some TNG 'prime directive' eps, i find it very refreshing to watch a 'What ? In this alien culture, the master computer enslaves the human population? WE HAVE TO DESTROY THAT COMPUTER AND TEACH THEM THE TRUE MEANING OF FREEDOM!' - Kirk episode). So... what do you think ?
I disagree. A foe that is unstoppable, and can be dealt with only with the aid of a super powered being? An outright stupid idea from a story telling point of view.
When were they dealt with by a super-being? Q makes the federation aware of the borg but I don't remember him dealing with them? He saves the Enterprise by returning them to their original position but he does not 'deal' with the borg.
But even as origanlly depicted in "Q Who?" the Borg could in theory be defeated, all you had to do was be able to analyse and adapt faster than they could.
TOS: Starting it all, sowing the seed, novel concept at the time. TNG: Story, characters, allegories, actual sci-fi; greatly expanding the lore/"verse" of Trek and removing much of the TOS campiness. DS9: Visuals, pew-pew. VOY: ... drawing a blank. ENT: In a way, ENT revived the Trek utopia of TOS&TNG; whereas DS9 spent much time deconstructing it and VOY was too far removed to really convey it. Not through ideals but by linking this far-away future to today: whereas the world Kirk, Picard, ZappBrannigan & Janeway live in seems alien and distant, we can directly relate to the "first real steps in space" theme of ENT; because we've already started the process.
TOS- Started it all, had a real sense of the good guys being pioneers in the wilderness, and produced the best Trek movies. TNG- Great single shot stories, Patrick Stewart, really seemed futuristic at the time DS9- Best characterization and story arcs easily. TOS and TNG may have explored strange new worlds, but DS9 really helped define them VOY- Uh.. lost in space/TOS remix with good graphics..? I'm trying to be polite. ENT- Season 4 showed a glimmer of what it could be, exploring a different era and telling their stories.
TOS: cast, fun when at its best. TNG: got nothing DS9: Sisko & Jake, war. VOY: Janeway & Seven ENT: T'Pol and Shran.
TOS - Originality, and chemistry among the 'big three'. And though, to some, it may look campy today, remember it in it's original context of the 1960's. It was absolutely ground-breaking at the time. More than 45 years later, look how much we still watch it - and how relevent it still is today.
If there is a train barreling down on you, you deal with the "unstoppable" train by getting out of it's path. The Enterprise tried running away, it didn't work. The solution to the Enterprise's problem with the Borg came with Q's aid, he pulled them out of harms way.
TOS: The Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic is quite possibly the best such friendship in Trek, Starfleet is as honest about its military background as it will ever get, and the Enterprise actually feels like a real ship. Also best episodic music. TNG: Accessable to non-fans while at the same time offering something for regular viewers, excellent insight to alien cultures, some of the more memorable characters in Trek. DS9: Best utlization of all the main cast, plus prominent parts for recurring guest stars and a long-term story arc that actually got resolved. VGR: Best action scenes, good story ideas, excellent ship designs. Best theme music. ENT: Best visuals.
Okay, I'll bite: TOS: colorful, exciting, and adult by the standards of the time. Has a certain pulpy space-opera zest and energy that (IMHO) some of the latter series tended to shy away from. TNG: A good cast, well-utilized. TNG gets points for making better use of an ensemble cast than TOS, which (let's be honest) neglected Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura in favor of the Big Three. And Patrick Stewart succeeded in creating a different, equally impressive kind of captain. DS9: By the end, possibly the richest, most fully fleshed out Trek series, with the best recurring characters: Garark, Dukat, etc. Despite my best efforts, however, I never found Bajoran politics or religion very compelling. VOY: Suffers by comparison to its predecessors, but Seven of Nine and the EMH added a lot to the show. Nice production values, too. Probably the best credit sequence of any Trek series. ENTERPRISE: Honestly, I probably need to watch it more carefully before I can make any intelligent comments on this show. (I've never written ENTERPRISE, so I haven't had cause to study it as much as the other series.)
TOS: The logic versus emotion debate which drove a majority of the episodes, and Kirk's utter humanity. TNG: Selling a philosophy DS9: Selling a philosophy applied to reality Voy: Making Star Trek fans angry. And IMO, the likeable cast Ent: Having terrible scripts. Or, erm...maybe, having most believable uniforms?
One thing I'll say in Voyager's favor (I could say a lot in it's favor if I really wanted to, but in this case I'll limit it to just one thing ) is that the actual premise of the series is arguably the best in Trek. A lone Federation starship staffed by two thirds Starfleet officers and one third hostile terrorists, forced to work together to get home from an uncharted area of space, surrounded by an unknown and unfriendly universe. In theory, that's a perfect setup for clearing the decks: no Romulans, no Klingons, no Ferengi, no leaning on familiar Trek storylines and tropes... ... in theory. Of course, Voyager features a Vulcan and a (half) Klingon among it's regular cast, and one of the very first scripts sees our crew encounter a Romulan. And then they find some Ferengi later on. It was just TNG-lite most of the time. I love Voyager a lot. But Berman and co really did drop the ball on that one.
Ugh, I recoil at the idea that the USA, UFP or anyone need to go teach alien species of our ideals. Its not really the job of any of these organizations to do that, also presumptuous and highly distasteful. The Prime Directive, imperfectly shown on each Trek series and in some movies, is meant to keep us from heading in this dangerous direction, based on the benefit of learning from Earth history. RAMA
TOS: Writers and writing. Some excellent parables. TNG: Ideas. Evolved thinking unlike any show before or likely after. DS9: Very good cast. Some epic scenes of conflict we never saw on Trek before. VGR: Some very good high concept stories that worked. Excellent FX ENT: Sense of early exploration. Beautiful sets, costumes, mattes and FX
Poor Voyager gets no love around here! Voyager was at its best as an episodic science fiction show. Its stand-alone episodes and two-parters were some of the best in all of Trekdom. Blink of an Eye Living Witness The Year of Hell Death Wish Scorpion Message in a Bottle Drone The Thaw Timeless Relativity One Small Step Memorial Deadlock Prototype Dreadnought That's some great stuff right there.
In some cases, yes. But in the case of a tyrant imposing his will on a defenseless population, it's not the same thing. That is not 'Imposing our ideals', it's defending people's basic rights. Especially in the case where the tyrant is a machine. The UFP should believe in every individual's right to self determination. Protecting tyrants' right to dominate their population is not protecting people's rights to hold their own ideals. You can't choose not to follow the Federation's ideals if you don't have the right to make the choice. Or if your planet gets hit by a meteor and Picard says, 'Nope, can't interfere with evolution'.
Well said... although I always felt like TOS fell short on showing us really close friendships. The moments given were all too brief. DS9 seemed to excel in this area. Best interpersonal drama of the whole franchise, IMHO... with VOY a close second. TNG was a bit too clean for my tastes. The morals were laid on quite thick at times. I really wished that they took more liberties in the final seasons, with a bit more controversy and stretching character limits. ENT had some terrific battle scenes and benefited from improvements in CGI technology. Story wise, it got off to a very dull start, but then started to pick up in S3. There was so much potential lined up... but then sadly scuttled before it could be realized.

Giant kidney worm (dioctophyme renale) in a dog
A case from 2006, nicely filmed and documented, and well worth watching for those who don't mind viewing internal anatomy and some enormous parasites. The last one minute of the film is enormously gratifying after watching the previous part...

How funny that both the doctors in this case have animal names: Dr. Bos (Cow) and Peregrine (Falcon).
I wonder if that influenced them to become vets...? - AnonymousSeptember 30, 2010 at 1:39 PM
I want to say fascinating but all i can think it "hurl".

FERRARI bring back Michael Schumacher to bolster Eddie Irvine's World Championship challenge this weekend with as much anxiety as optimism.
FERRARI bring back Michael Schumacher to bolster Eddie Irvine's World Championship challenge this weekend with as much anxiety as optimism.
The return of Schumacher for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix was trumpeted as a triumph against the odds after the German had said he was not sufficiently recovered from a broken leg to race again this season. Schumacher denied yesterday, however, that he is still unhappy about racing and was manoeuvred back into competitive action by Luca di Montezemolo.
The Ferrari president dispatched a doctor to provide a second opinion on his £15m-a-year driver. The doctor's conclusion was that Schumacher need not necessarily miss the final two rounds of the championship. Three days of testing in Italy last week reportedly convinced Ferrari that the German was fit enough to race.
"I have heard stories Di Montezemolo is making me drive but I am independent enough to make my own decisions," Schumacher said.
An interview given by Schumacher's manager, Willi Weber, puts a different complexion on the double champion's comeback. He said: "What happens if Michael has another accident? He won't only be compromising his health, but also next season."
Many Formula One observers have suggested all along that Schumacher would be reluctant to assist his team-mate, Eddie Irvine. He went to Ferrari four years ago to deliver the championship and saw it as his destiny. The Ulsterman was hired as his No 2, a role he fulfilled for three and a half years until Schumacher's accident, at the British Grand Prix, three months ago. Now the positions are reversed and Irvine is expecting Schumacher's support.
Ferrari have put themselves into a difficult and potentially self-destructive situation. It remains to be seen if Schumacher is willing to commit himself in the way they palpably demand. "I am first of all driving for the team and not in the interests of Eddie," Schumacher said yesterday. "The only way I can help him is if I am directly in front of him - then I will let him by, that is very clear. But if that is not the case he will have to manage on his own."

From the first, Saint Spyridon seemed to me a blend of traditions. The sky-blue ceiling showed an enormous Christ bursting through the clouds, rendered in a quasi-iconic style, his huge eyes gazing down on the faithful. An equally grand-scale painting of Mary adorned the apse; ...+ more

Airvideo vs streamtome vs zumocast Is there any difference between these 3? I got zumocast for free but if the other ones offer better quality video, etc... Then I don't mind paying few bucks.
I have never used streamtome but I have the other two. I don't see a huge difference in quality although sometimes I think Airvideo streams are somewhat smoother. I like Zumocast the most though because it not only streams videos but allows you to access music, pictures and docs from your computer.
I have used all three. If you mainly need video, which I think is the case for most, go for air video. The server is pretty stable, the login method over the web is smooth (though personally I don't use it often for reasons of security) and the playback is fine. It does place a pretty heavy load on your PC, so if you want to stream HD video, be prepared for 95% CPU load (on my 3GHz, Quad-core Intel). Stream to me is very similar, the quality is practically identical and has the nice touch that it tries to decode only the streams necessary, i.e. anything the iPad can play natively (e.g. h264 in mp4, or aac in m4a containers) it just streams without decoding. This keeps your CPU use a bit lower, around 65% on my system. However the interface is not quite as polished and intuitive, some settings are in weird places and the server is not quite that stable (at least on windows). The most important thing though is that it also streams music and pictures. This is great if you have no other apps that do that but for pictures, its not really that great because it takes a while to stream each picture so your user experience is slow and awkward. There are better ways to make your picture library available online and much faster server apps if you just want to grab if from your PC. For music its nice but again, it takes a while to start each song whereas other apps do it instantly. Zumocast does several things I really don't like, like putting your files on a website which means your privacy is like gone forever and if you're careless you can delete the files on your PC from their website, which is an incredibly idiotic way to write an app. So I will just never use their stuff again, period. In the end I prefer to have one app for each thing though I do miss the simplicity of Windows Media Player which keeps everything in one library and instantly streams all of it. If only there was a version for the ipad... Pick air video for video, check out Spotify for streaming audio and any online picture library for your pics.
I only use Zumocast over wifi and prefer the one app does all. While I had both installed I didn't notice any obvious difference between it and AirVideo in use and I like the quick access to docs, music and pics. Just very convenient. I didn't know it uses cloud storage, which I would doubt given the gigs of stuff I have, but you can easily limit the directories to which it has access. Just keep important stuff locked away.
Yeah plex is sweet running on the mini and I hadn't noticed they have an app out for it until today. So many apps , so little time......
AirVideo does video streaming. StreamToMe does video and music streaming. ZumoCast does both plus pictures and can download to your iPad, but you can only use the material on the app itself.
Air Video looks best to me over local wifi when setting the Allowed Bitrates to the highest setting in Global Settings in the app. Quite a bit better than the others, in fact.
Correct - I didn't realize that before but I tested it and it does give better quality. In fact it allows bitrates up to 2.5Mbs, which is higher than he others and it does give noticeably better quality (talking about HD only of course). What's more, it gives you an option to just "play" mp4 files instead of "play with live conversion" (i.e. transcoding). In play mode your computer's CPU use is very low (~10% vs 95% with transcoding). None of the others do this correctly, I tested "stream to me" with the same files and selected "play original streams if possible" option but it still transcoded mp4 files and heated up my CPU to near meltdown levels. Air Video is the one!

I always had so much fun hanging out with you guys on Club Penguin! But I'd like to say good-bye to you on this blog. But I will still hang out with you on Club Penguin!

Reviewed by You: Puffle Food! ~ Billybob's Blog
Hello Penguins!
Thanks for all your safety tips last week. Here's a great comment from Zoecheer:
My best safety tip would be to never give out personal information about yourself or others. (addresses, numbers, last names, were you are, etc.) That way, you can waddle on and be safe too!
Excellent reminder, Zoecheer. It is very important to be careful with your personal information -- especially on the internet!
Now on to this week's Reviewed by You... I wanted to give you guys an early sneak peek at some new stuff coming after the Puffle Party. The team's planning to add some new items to feed your pets! Check it out:
Of course, we want to hear from you about that first! So...
What do you think of the new food item for puffles? What food items would you like to feed your pet in the future, and why?
Write your review as a comment. We'll publish one (50 - 75 words) in next week's Reviewed By You. If your review is chosen as the featured comment next week, we'll add 10,000 coins to your account. Don't forget to use your penguin name so we can add coins!
Until then... Waddle on!
That would be awesome if we could feed our puffles cotton candy! Then we could watch the puffles dive into the candy webs of sugar and watch them get really hyper from all the sugar! That would be so funny!

It's Mizani....what else can I say :)
I love pretty much all Mizani products....this one is no exception. This shampoo does what it is supposed to do. Some ladies may try to use this everyday, so I feel the need to point out that you do not want to use it daily because it is a clarifying shampoo. A clarifying shampoo is a deep cleanser that is supposed to rid your hair of all pollutants and other build-up, so with daily use it will...read more definitely strip your hair of its natural moisture and make it a dried out mess. Because of that, I only use it every 3-4 weeks. The bottle does not really specify that information and some ladies are not hair savvy, so just a heads up :) — 8 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Good for the gunk!
This shampoo is excellent for getting the gunk and goo buildup out of your hair. However, I don't recommend it for everyday use. I've found that daily use can strip the oils from your hair and scalp. It's great for balancing hair after braids, weaves, or use of a lot of hair products. — 9 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Re: China pulls 4,000 yr old Mummy from Exhibit b/c of its Caucasian features
Just thought I'd chime in again to say that I wonder how many artifacts may have been deliberately destroyed recently by the Chinese to cover up anything that contradicts the state-approved history. *Sigh* Well at least they and India are running separate, non-pc versions of the Genome project.

Re: China pulls 4,000 yr old Mummy from Exhibit b/c of its Caucasian features
Semites of the Bible and the people we know as semites today are not the same at all. The joos have been at this for thousands of years and are good at what they do and that is lying, stealing, killing, destroying and usurping positions of power for their own gain. If you studied the Word instead of taking what joos say as gospel, you might learn something. |

Re: China pulls 4,000 yr old Mummy from Exhibit b/c of its Caucasian features
Alright, I'm going to ignore the "lol u jst listen 2 de j00z" and get right at it, tough guy. if you think you know more about the origins of the Indo-Europeans than I do, then here is my challenge: prove to me that the Whites of today are the ancient Semites. No one has ever been able to muster up a good argument on this, which is why I regard it as horse manure and you and your ilk as horse-manure salesmen. So let's hear it. I'm sick of you horse-manure salesmen nonchalantly spitting on the graves of my forefathers by calling them Israelites and denouncing everyone that disagrees with you as ignorant, so I'm bringing the fight to you. And no, I am not watching any documentaries because they take up too much time, and I'm not taking the bible as the source unless you want to take the Rigveda or the Norse Eddas as sources (and this is one up for you, since the Rigveda predates Semitic mythology). I want real articles and real research. I'll even outline what you need to prove to help you out: 1. A time line of how and when exactly the ancient Israelites forgot their old religion and adopted Indo-European Paganism, and the theory on why they did that. 2. Similarities between the ancient Israelites and the Indo-Europeans in techniques of agriculture and other means of obtaining food. 3. Similarities between the art work ancient Isrealites and Indo-Europeans, detailing how they evolved from ancient Israelite practices to ancient European practices, that is similarly architecture; pottery; arms and armor; painting and artwork (you're going to have to explain the lack of Germanic frescoes, good luck with that one!) 4. Similarities between the culture of the ancient Israelites and Indo-Europeans; such as why the Israelites practiced genital mutilation and Europeans didn't until modern day Jews infiltrated Western medicine; when exactly the Israelites started eating pork and shellfish, and started revering pork and seeing the hunt and feast of boar as something strong and noble in contrast to Old Testament dietary laws; similarities between 5. How the ancient Israelites lost their illiteracy; why they adopted the Greek alphabet when they became literate again instead of the Hebrew alphabet 6. Archaeological evidence detailing the movement of desert, literate, monotheistic people from the Middle East moving into Europe and becoming forest, illiterate, polytheistic people from Europe 7. Linguistic evidence from more than one primary source 8. Genetic and anthropological evidence comparing modern day Europeans to ancient Semites 10. Ancient historical accounts from historians of the time period that detail 11. A reason on why all of the old anthropologists and European historians never held this "Out of Israel" theory. Why the Third Reich had no interest in the British-Israelite/White Israelite theory needs to be explained as well. There's my challenge. Let's see your evidence. If you can't come up with sufficient evidence, then you are a lying, misinforming, history-blaspheming rat bastard and you should shut the hell up. If you do come up with a convincing argument on all 10 accounts and synthesize a greater theory of the origin of the White race, then I will shut the hell up and be on your side. Let's go! |

The Incheon Declaration - Education 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all
Over 130 Education Ministers and more than 1500 participants have now adopted the Incheon Declaration "Education 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all ". The Incheon Declaration was signed at the end of the World Education Forum (WEF) held in Incheon, Republic of Korea, during the third week of May 2015. As explained in the opening paragraphs of the document, the Declaration marks and important step in the development of international education policy, continuing the Education for All (EFA) movement, started in Jomtien Thailand in 1990 and formalised by the Dakar Conference in 2000.
At that time, a timeframe for action until 2015 was adopted. Efforts to develop a post-2015 Agenda have, in recent years, included regional conferences and consultations leading to the recent WEF at Incheon and they will culminate in new sustainable development goals (SDG) on education, due to be adopted at a United Nations conference in September of this year.

Janet Napolitano's "Secure Communities" Program Secure in Arizona, Elsewhere Not So Much
Three states have opted out of a federal immigration program that helps identify and deport illegal immigrants. |
Massachusetts is now the third state to opt out of a federal immigration program that helps identify illegal immigrants and turn them over to federal officials.
Governor Deval Patrick called it quits on the program, referred to as Secure Communities, about a week after New York did so. Illinois was the first to cut the program from its state in May, even though the federal government claims the program is mandatory once it starts.
Now that three are off the list, there are 39 states remaining in the program.
In an e-mail statement sent to New Times, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Vincent Picard, stated that "because Secure Communities is fundamentally an information-sharing partnership between federal agencies, state and local jurisdictions cannot opt out from the program."

Recently, the Los Angeles Times reported that California Representative Zoe Lofgren called for an investigation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for not being completely honest about local jurisdictions having to participate in the immigration program.
"You can't have a government department essentially lying to local government and to members of Congress. This is not OK," Lofgren said in April.
The program started in 2008 under the Bush Administration. It was that same year, when Janet Napolitano, now U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, was still Arizona's governor, that Pinal County joined Secure Communities, partnering with ICE to help identify illegal immigrants through fingerprint records.
It works like this: Local authorities fingerprint those in custody and match those records with those on file with DHS. If the person is undocumented, immigration officials take them under their jurisdiction and decide whether to deport them or not.
As of now participating law enforcement agencies in Arizona have identified and deported 15,606 illegal immigrants through this program, according to ICE's stats.
Maricopa County, so far, has arrested and removed more illegal immigrants compared with the other counties in the state, totaling 13,823. Nationwide, though, 108,994 illegal immigrants have been deported through the program.
Those turned over to ICE are categorized by levels one through three depending on the severity of the crime committed.
Those categorized level one are more likely to get deported, but as the number goes up they have more time to set up a legal-defense team. At any moment ICE can lower their level to prioritize their case, but it all depends on the seriousness of the crime.
Chris Newman, a lawyer from the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, stated that programs such as Secure Communities need to be "scrapped completely."
Newman says that anti-immigrant hawks such as Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio are examples of local authorities abusing federal immigration programs. Which is why he believes Secure Communities "has been a disaster."
A major concern for Newman is the separation of family members that occurs when low-level offenders are deported. Such "offenders" can include people stopped for a simple traffic misdemeanor. They might not even been charged with a crime, but just simply turned over to ICE.
He points out that this program let Arizona politicians believe that they could create their own immigration laws, the most infamous being Senate Bill 1070.
"Secure Communities created the political climate that led to SB 1070 in the first place," Newman says.
Perhaps, but knowing right-wing, immigrant-bashing Governor Jan Brewer and the popularity of SB 1070 in this state, Secure Communities should be secure in Arizona for some time to come.

Five Shows To Go See Tonight, Tonight
Quite the busy Thursday evening of music we have here. From classic singer-songwriter fare to a trio of quality alt-country acts, there's a little something for everyone on display tonight.
Destry, Communipaw, Soviet and Summertime Knives at the Prophet Bar
Formed by ex-Straylight Run vocalist Michelle DaRosa, Destry plays a nice little indie folk-rock and alt-country with the ease and confidence of a band with much more experience. DaRosa's sublime vocals are the main attraction of Destry, but drummer Nico Childrey and bassist Shaun Cooper (also a Straylight Run alum) make key contributions. Their music is slow and beautiful, and it warrants repeated listens. Same goes for New Jersey's Communipaw, the brainchild of singer-songwriter Brian Bond. Despite the ugly moniker, Communipaw make surprisingly pretty, countrified rock that never lacks charm or wit.
Judy Collins at the Lakewood Theater
At 72, Judy Collins easily qualifies as a legend at this point. The singer and songwriter has, throughout her lengthy career, shown unparalleled taste when interpreting the work of others. Collins' versions of songs by Joni Mitchell ("Both Sides Now"), Stephen Sondheim ("Send in the Clowns") and Leonard Cohen ("Bird on a Wire") are seen by some as the definitive versions. Almost as impressive as her music is Collins' political activism. Her steadfast support of left-wing causes and ideologies has oftentimes gotten Collins into some hot water, but her audience never seemed to mind. Perhaps with music this good, some folks can get away with just about anything.
Stan Ridgway at Poor David's Pub
Ex-Wall of Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgway seems to make it to our area quite often. And, seeing that, even at 57, Ridgway has not lost any of the zany irreverence that he demonstrated back in the Wall of Voodoo heyday back in the '80s, such frequency is indeed a good thing. Plus, the guy still has a lot to say. Neon Mirage, Ridgway's solo effort from last year, featured a mature, alt-country vibe that fit the singer's world-weary mindset perfectly. Undoubtedly, Ridgway will perform "Mexican Radio" and other Wall of Voodoo hits this evening, but those might be some of the weaker songs in the set.

Two Tons of Steel at Dan's Silverleaf in Denton
San Antonio's Two Tons of Steel is another act that frequently graces our area's stages. And, once again, such regularity is a blessing. Not only are these guys adept at hardcore honky-tonk, but they also have a fine punk rock sensibility, as best demonstrated by the band's Americana reconstruction of the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated." Some folks erroneously consider Two Tons of Steel to be some sort of novelty act. Far from it. This is alt-country with a genius IQ.
The Trishas and Deadman at the Belmont Hotel
Hopefully, the crazy Texas weather will allow this week's poolside performance to actually take place, unlike the last few scheduled at this venue. Austin's The Trishas are another alt-country act worth spending some time with. Same goes for our own Deadman. Hell, this may well be the best double-bill of this busy Thursday night.

Serves four to six.
Canned tomatoes give this stew a chunky, full texture, so I don't purée the vegetables as I do in the other stews. Serve the stew over white rice, if you like.
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add half the thighs and brown them well, 2 to 3 min. per side. Transfer to a large plate. Brown the remaining thighs and reserve with the rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, red pepper, and garlic. Season generously with salt and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon and scraping up any browned bits, until the onion softens and browns, about 12 min. Turn the heat to high, add the wine, and cook until it's almost completely reduced, about 2 min. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes and their juices, the thyme sprigs, rosemary, and chile flakes. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and add any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring and breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon for 10 min. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar, and stew the chicken, turning it occasionally, until it's cooked through (check by slicing through the bottom of one of the thighs to the bone), another 25 to 30 min. If you like, discard the thyme sprigs, rosemary, and garlic.
When the stew is almost done, heat 1 Tbs. of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the zucchini. Season well with salt and pepper; sauté until the zucchini is tender and lightly browned, 3 to 4 min. Transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until soft and lightly browned, 3 to 4 min. Add the olives and chopped thyme, return the zucchini to the pan, and toss. Fold the zucchini mixture and the parsley into the stew. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of parsley.

I've been longing for a green salad. Having made (and eaten) too many ANZAC Biscuits, we needed something to counterbalance that wonderful sweetness of the biscuits. This salad did it. It combines greens from the garden (use what you have at hand) with some soft raspberries, crunchy crushed walnuts and tangy blue cheese.
This is another wonderful salad from Bittman. I am over half way through the journey of making his 101 salads (at least, the vegetarian ones). Each one has been wonderful and this one is too.
Why not try other Bittman Salads? Try Green Salad with Chickpeas, Preserved Lemon and Feta, Cucumber Salad with Capers and Ricotta and Watermelon and Peach Salad with Basil.
All of the Bittman Salads that we have tried are here. Or explore all of our Salads. Maybe your would like to explore our easy Early Autumn recipes.

Ultimate Affection - Atlanta Bartlett
[All Photos from Pale & Interesting]
You can imagine my excitement when I finally found a copy of the new Flea Market Style. I have honestly been searching everywhere for a copy. Finally, tucked neatly on the shelves of my local beauty supply shop, I found it.
I, however, was over-the-moon excited when I discovered the feature article on Atlanta Bartlett inside this lovely issue.
My love for this very talented lady started with her book At Home with White. I found a copy at a box sale at our local book warehouse. I was instantly drawn to the gorgeous photos and stunning vignettes. From there, I discovered her lovely online boutique - Pale & Interesting - a collaboration with her husband Dave Coote. I'm looking forward to purchasing her latest book - Pale & Interesting, available now.
Let's just say, if I had to pick just one style to emulate, this would be it. It's the perfect balance for me, and the natural taste I'm drawn to. I simply love most everything.
If you haven't shopped Pale and Interesting, follow the link above. In the meantime, here are some of the look books you can preview online.
Thank you to the FMS team for featuring such talent, and inspiring me so!
I hope these get you as much excited as they do me!
Happy Monday girls.
