New York in an Almost Year
Random quick bits about thoughts and The City from Q1-3:
I guess there is a certain vibe, a certain stigma about New York City. It's a city on overdrive and it will and can fry your senses if you're not careful. Mentally, physically, literally, metaphorically.
The city is a curious mix of architecture marvels with history and people. From the eco friendly Hearst Tower, the dimly lit chanderliered entrance of the Royal Palace Hotel, eclectic little shops in Soho and the Lower East Side to the rather sterile concrete buildings of Wall street. The Brooklyn Flea houses a collection of quirky little trinkets and items, and itself is housed in a stately building that was converted from a bank; a stark dichotomy.
Graffiti here is spontaneous and in the oddest of places, narrow subway underground tunnels the top of buildings, each a defiant testament to the people who claimed the space as their own. Not in a tightly controlled environment where a canvas is laid out in front of a curious audience. Like at the Night-festival in Singapore, anyone? Cough. I think that defeats the purpose of it. Don't think the organizers understood the essence behind graffiti. The only people who should see graffiti being created should be the artists and their friends. Watching it appear in front of you, in a space dictated with crowds of curious spectators watching, with no element of risk, danger or mystery as expected just takes away the soul and experience of it.
I could do a photo series entitled subway trash of still lives – even the trash here somehow manages to look like a still-frame out of a movie.
Ben Stiller walked past us one weekend morning, apparently.
The size of rats vary with the parts of the city – the big black mean ones reside in Manhattan; small furry ones are found on the outskirts. The friendly mouse looking ones live in the Jersey PATH trains. 🙂
If you are anticipating a long subway commute, you probably want to switch your iPhone off while underground if you don't want to find your batttery at 60 % even before the day has started. Why there has been no serious motion to actually get reception that works well underground or even in various buildings is beyond me. It is kind of like the weekend commute, when basically, the best thing is to expect nothing out of the subway reliability.
Sirens are your lullabies. You grow accustomed to it. The police and fire engines are just, everywhere.
Phones are socially taboo (at least it seems so at most eating spots) or maybe it's a function of the crazy bad reception. People are engaged with each other here, and with time being such a precious commodity, one notices that cellphones are hardly the focus and the ones whom you meet grant you their attention, for choosing to spend the time.
Colours do not exist in the NYC fashion palette in winter. Everyone wears black black and more black even though the racks have a staple of black, white, red and the occasional electric blue. Who dictated that fashion has to mirror the season? Even within the line at JFK, I was standing out in a bright and (too) happy red.
Unaccustomed to the landscape so distinctly mirroring the seasons, visual cues start to hint to me the arrival of spring. Lighter coats, rain boots, slight colours, (short) skirts. People complain about the heat but hardly ever about the skirts. Do they not see the necessity of the former for the latter to materialize? Thank goodness for the cheeriness of Summer.
The city is edgy, fast paced, if that is your type of fun. Small enclaves of communities exist and in time, I intend to explore these when I've gotten my wings fixed. Sometimes the cashier mistakes me for Korean and rattles musically about the items I'm ringing up until I give a polite "I don't understand you" in English. At other times Korean guys remark really loudly "a Chinese" as I'm trying to get up the steps to dinner in Ktown. I am unsure of the correct response to this so I do nothing save roll my eyes. Ethnicity seems to be a topic of conversation with random people taking bets as to whether you are Korean or Chinese in the most random of places.
Definitely pay more attention to your Chinese lessons if you are still in school, especially if you want to order take out from Ctown. Actually, make that if you want to order food in general. D:
Outside of the tourist belt, there are hardly any children, teenagers or too many old folk. Everyone seems to float around the college age to the young working professionals. And then there are the others, who seem to have decided that being perpetually in Peter Pan mode is their thing. Over 45 and still living like recklessly 25 is just a little creepy. Just sayin'.
There is also the distinction between "the tourists" and "New Yorkers". Tourists are roadblocks, the grown up children who still find delight in every cranny of the New York environment. New Yorkers are past that – police road blocks and a barrage of media vans and satellite for Osama's capture or "that IMF guy" being held in an undisclosed location in lower Manhattan? Just part of everyday life, now will you please, not hog the sidewalk so I can get to my cup of coffee/work/you get the idea? Your local news is global here. Something is always happening; somewhere.
I love how people actually care about stuff here.
Chivary is alive and well in the city because here is nothing more odd in their senses for a girl to be carrying a shelf on the streets. People have also been awfully kind to help me move my furniture that I got from them, so maybe I have just been lucky so far. You can get quite a lot out of a conversation in the 30 minutes while moving your desk. So awfully DIY, but just one of those things you do before you succumb to the instant gratification that is Amazon. On an aside, if one ever contemplated never ever having to leave your house, Amazon could fulfill all your hermit aspirations.
Door holding is nice and I hardly get any slammed in my face if I am within close proximity. Anyone who has tried to get into a lift in SG with plently of space, only to have the door closed on you because everyone was too apathetic to press the Open Button will understand this. It's the little things that count.
What's better than holding the subway door seconds just before it closes, is having two young teenage guys hold it open for you, upon seeing your approach and not even missing a beat in their conversation rhythm. Equally heartening is having a random stranger call out to you when you are at the far end of a corridor which only leads to an elevator, just so they can wait for you to enter.
Well, obviously there are rude people as well, but perhaps the word is not so much of rude than brash.
Weather is a huge factor here because it dictates your life. It's the first time weather reports are actually accurate or important. The coats change with the seasons, and rain coming horizontally at you renders normal umbrellas useless. Let's not even talk about the winds.
Things will go on even if it rains. At the Rooftop films, the organizers quipped that "We're tough , we're New Yorkers", and the show went on. Seats were kept and folded after the show by each member of the audience, " just so a lot of us can get out there faster".
The weather is unapologetically capricious and erratic – winter seemed never ending with the fresh white snow quickly morphing into black piles of slush. There was a brief dalliance with spring and upturned umbrellas. People marginally freaked out over the earthquake aftershocks. Hurricane Irene brought the City to a standstill whilst everyone went stir crazy being confined indoors. Coming from a country with NO natural disasters, you realize you have no clue what to actually do, but you get by. It snowed in Autumn and this surprised the trees in Central Park and many of them broke under the weight.
It seems counter intuitive to find contentment in a restless city, but that's what New York can offer you, amongst a whole lot of other things. Transience is the only staple. The city has a routine of constant change, and possibilities in anything you believe in, if, of course, you search it out. Or maybe it might find you instead.
The City will speak to you, if you listen to it. The same City, but somehow in a different language for everyone.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – When it comes to the defense, Northern Arizona football returns six out of its eight leading tacklers from a year ago. When it comes specifically to the linebackers, the key to being successful in Coach Andy Thompson's unit is consistency.
"You have to believe in the process of going to practice every day, watching film and doing all it takes. If you do these things, Saturdays become a lot easier," said Thompson.
With the return of All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honoree Austin Hasquet, the linebackers look to be in good hands this season. The Peoria, Ariz. native was the team's sophomore of the year last season on defense. Hasquet started all 11 games last year and is the top returning linebacker statistically as he tied for second on the squad last year with 61 tackles and a fumble recovery.
"We definitely have a lot of experience coming back," said Hasquet. "We have the consistency on defense that we need to perform well. With our passion and love for the game, our job is to get out there and stop our opponents."
Senior Ryan Reardon started all 11 games for NAU last season. He's a 2012 All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honoree and an added plus for the Lumberjacks. Reardon had a solid junior season with 41 tackles, in addition to being credited with two tackles for loss and a pass breakup.
"I think that anytime you have multiple players with a substantial amount of playing time under their belts it helps the team as a whole," said Thompson.
Craig Frum, Anthony Harrington, Harrison Johnson and Tevin Ray are a highly talented group of returners that will give the linebackers unit substantial depth. The previous playing experience that these players have, mixed with their intense work ethic increases the knowledge of the unit as a whole.
"All of our returners are guys that I feel have gotten a lot better since they've been in the program," said Thompson. "We don't have individuals. We have a unit that cares a lot about each other."
Others who will add to NAU's depth behind the defensive line include newcomers Derek Craig, Michael DeGroote, Thomas Hopp, Jabari Marshall and Chase Wilsey. Under the helm of Thompson, these newcomers have what it takes to battle any of the returners for playing time.
With a league full of talented running backs and receivers, the linebackers will need to contain their opponents in order to remain one of the best defensive units in the Big Sky.

Today, technology has become too much a part of overall corporate success for its effectiveness to be left to chance. The stakes are too high. Fortunately, the idea of 'quality management' is being reinvigorated. In the last decade process programs have become more and more prevalent. And, out of all the available options, three have moved to the top of the chain. These three are:
These recognized and proven quality programs are rising in popularity as more technology managers are looking for ways to help remove degrees of risk and uncertainty from their business equations, and to introduce methods of predictability that better ensure success.
Process Improvement Essentials combines the foundation needed to understand process improvement theory with the best practices to help individuals implement process improvement initiatives in their organization. The three leading programs: ISO 9001:2000, CMMI, and Six Sigma--amidst the buzz and hype--tend to get lumped together under a common label. This book delivers a combined guide to all three programs, compares their applicability, and then sets the foundation for further exploration. It's a one-stop-shop designed to give you a working orientation to what the field is all about.

Comments about oreilly Process Improvement Essentials:
This book delivers on its title. The field of process improvement is large, detailed and complicated—much more so than I would have expected before reading this book—yet Persse manages to curate, condense and present the topic in a highly effective and approachable manner. Which, I suppose, is to be expected considering the subject matter in question.A more complete review is available on my blog: http://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2012/01/04/book-review-process-improvement-essentials-by-james-r-persse-phd/

Excellent Introduction to Process & the Process 'Big Three'
By C Masotti, Sacramento STC
from Sacramento
When you think about quality improvement and process improvement, what comes to mind? Cars? Phones? Japan? How about IT? James Persse, a veteran of the Process Improvement field, has written a guide to process improvement for the Information Technology world. In Process Improvement Essentials, Persse offers his insight to those who know they need some quality process and want an overview of the 'big three' quality programs.In the first part of the book, we are treated to a couple of process success stories, some well-known names, their pre-process deficiencies, and their post-process gains. And in case the reader is inclined to dismiss those success stories as out of reach for all but the Boeings and Raytheons of the world, Persse moves right along to make his case against what he calls the Six Common Myths that are behind people's resistance to process.This resistance, he argues, usually results from either complete lack of exposure or exposure to poor examples. Throughout part one, he counters the myths, illustrates the benefits, and provides general guidelines for planning, getting started, recognizing success, and continuing the improvement process.Persse offers his years of experience in the process improvement field to readers who want to take the first step. The ingredients in his success recipe include securing executive sponsorship (getting backing for the project from someone at the top), capitalizing on your strengths, and focusing on targeted improvements (start with a manageable scope, don't try to take on everything from the start). He also provides a lot of guidance for building the process team. Something worth noting for technical communicators is that the technical writer serves a key role on this team.The second part of the book is an overview of the three best-known process frameworks: ISO 9001:2000, Six Sigma, and CMMI. The goal is to help readers get an idea about which (if any) of these three would be the best fit for their own needs. If you are looking for detailed instructions on implementing one of these frameworks, look elsewhere. What Persse does is explain some of the requirements, tools, and goals of each, highlighting some of the pros and cons as well.The demand for process frameworks like these is growing. Demand will probably continue to grow. The existence of a quality process is increasingly becoming a requirement for doing business with large companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other legislation will continue to increase the reporting requirements for even small publicly traded companies.Persse makes a great case for process improvement, and does a fine job of presenting the options. If your organization is on the road to putting a process improvement program in place, you'll find Process Improvement Essentials a useful starting point.

Susan, thanks for the update. Hope you fell better soon! :)
we are so welcome you liked the tea cup pincushion from sucia, my sister. we both wanted to keep it! it was hard to send it off, but we know it has a good home. :D
have an excitingly wonderful holiday,
sucia and blue cat
I am glad that you like my pin cushion Christmas mouse. Looking at the other pin cushions, he is a little plain. I should have made some pins to go with him!
i think the little mouse pincushion is perfect just the way it is. i would be delighted to have one.
Carol, I did get your tree, and I do love it, but I have been pretty sick ever since Monday afternoon with Bronchitis. I do get Bronchitis frequently because of a high school case of Bronchial Pneumonia in 1951. But now my husband seems to have come down with it along with a cold, so we are a pretty lousy family right now. I have been working on it, and will get it to you as soon as I am able. I hope that is okay with you. I did tell Mariposa about it and she said she would contact you, too. Then, too, I was without a computer for about a week after mine gave up the ghost. We had to go get a new one, then get everything that was on the old one transferred to this one. So it too has been a chore. And I am still far from being up to par yet. This has really taken the strenght out of me, and I am still not over it.
You are not forgotten. Margie.
Blue Cat,
Thank you for your comment on my mouse pincushion. This is the first time I have made a pincushion and the first time participating in this swap. You have encouraged me to make more.
I wanted to post a pic of the pincushion that I received from Sara/saraaev. I love it, and thanks again :)

I used ceiling paint instead of primer by mistake
I'm new to this but I just found this chatroom and I need help. I took off some wallpaper from a bedroom and took all of the old glue off. I had nice smooth plaster to work with. I then put some primer on the walls. I went to get the ceiling paint to paint the ceiling and I was shocked when I saw that I had primed the walls with the flat ceiling paint by mistake.
What a mistake, but now what can I do. Can I go ahead and paint the walls as I was planning? What will happen?
Is there somehing I should do instead?
Thanks for the help,
If you completely got the glue off the wall, nothing will happen at all. You can topcoat with the proper paint of your choice, no need to even prime. If you failed to get the all the glue off, the paint won't hold. If this is the case scrape off the failing paint, topcoat with Gardz, prime, and then topcoat.
The ceiling paint will eventually migrate to the ceiling because that's where it wants to be.......
Thanks Sirwired, that's what I did and it should be fine then.
If you completely got the glue off the wall, :yes:nothing will happen at all.

Protect the Boss Proves It's Not Just About the Ratings
Since viewer ratings have become the indicators of success on television, dramas have started to go great lengths (read: extremes) to keep viewers glued to the screen.
That's why it's rare to come across a drama these days without a husband who either sleeps with another woman in front of his wife (MBC's Give Me Food) or kills her (SBS's Temptation of Wives).
However, SBS's drama Protect the Boss, which went off the air on September 29, walked down a completely different path - there were no love affairs or insatiable cliff hangers. Still, the drama was entertaining from start to finish, loved by viewers, and consistently recorded a stable viewer rating in the mid-teens.
Of course, not every one may be satisfied with the numbers. Although Protect the Boss concluded its run with a strong 14.2 percent viewer rating (AGB Nielsen Media Research), it never broke the 20 percent mark, which has become the standard for a 'hit' miniseries these days (although it often came close).
Still, from the drama's actors and staff to the viewers, everyone seems to be satisfied with the end result. Actress Wang Ji Hye, who played Seo Na Yoon in the drama, told enews, "All of the actors bonded and worked well together. I was able to enjoy the whole process because I was in such a great work environment."
And although actors Ji Sung and Kim Jae Joong were rivals on screen, the two often displayed their close friendship on Twitter, while actress Choi Kang Hee is already well known for her likeable, easygoing personality. Veteran actors Kim Young Ock, Park Young Kyu and Cha Hwa Yeon gave the young actors a run for their money with the energy they brought on to the set as well.
The excellent teamwork among the actors and staff proved to be the impetus that got everyone through the long hours on set. The good mood not only translated well on screen but also continued off the screen, spreading to the viewers who left favorable reviews of the drama on message boards.
One netizen wrote in a thread titled 'It was so entertaining, I'm sad,' "The main characters were great, but the performances of the three veteran actors, Park Young Kyu, Cha Hwa Yeon and Kim Chung shined as well." The viewer continued to praise the drama saying, "I didn't have high expectations for the drama at first, but now that it's over, I'm sad. Thank you for such a great drama." Other netizens expressed similar sentiments.
Meanwhile, new drama A Tree With Deep Roots, starring Han Suk Kyu, Jang Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung, will take over the Protect the Boss time slot beginning October 5.

An amazing art glass sculpture by Oregon glass artist, Andy Nichols. The flounder is 10" x 8 1/4" and approximately 3" high. It is multi layered glass sculpture, incorporating transparent and translucent glass with elements of color and metallic highlights.
Clearly recognizable as a flounder, this is an interpretation of the character of the fish as well. As we know, the flounder spends most of his time lying on his side upon the sandy bottom, so much so that both eyes are on one side of his head. He is so well camouflaged that he blends in with the sand and pebbles.
This is probably the most beautiful flounder you will ever see. His speckled side hints both sand and light. His startled expression is priceless.
The sculpture lies flat, like the real fish. It is in perfect condition and signed "Nichols Art Glass 2007" on the underside. This item requires special packing and may take 1-2 extra days to prepare for shipping.

It's always a thrill to get something like this in my box.
This is a great size bag, and is my new go to dop kit. I took it on a 10 day trip to Europe a week after I got it.
I did wish there was some dividers, or pockets within the bag. Since you end up putting lots of small stuff in there.
But it works.

Results: EBR to test soil of all schools
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - A News 2 Investigation into soil contamination in area schools gets results. East Baton Rouge Parish Schools plan to test the soil at all 85 EBR campuses. This after News 2 revealed the soil at a handful of schools had elevated levels of lead and arsenic. The problem was uncovered by an LSU scientist who tested the soil at eleven East Baton Rouge Parish public schools. The findings surprised him, because the highest readings at some schools surpassed the safety limits set by the EPA.
Parents joined News 2 to learn about how the data was gathered and where the most contaminated areas were found. Turns out, the most contaminated areas are below window sills, next to walls painted with lead paint, under old wooden bleachers, and gardens that are outlined with old treated wood.
EBR schools responded by saying that the district has painted old buildings that had lead paint. They are also trying to plant bushes around those buildings and having teachers monitor the students closely.
New Orleans experienced a similar issue at public parks. News 2's Rosa Flores traveled to New Orleans to learn what city officials did, and how they paid for it.

LEAGUE CITY — A man who arrived home Tuesday night and found someone in his garage was shot at as he tailed the would-be burglar, police said.
At about 9:45 p.m. the owner of a house in the 1500 block of Tahoe Court was pulling into his garage when he saw a man who had grabbed the homeowner's weed trimmer, police said.
The homeowner told police the man dropped the weed trimmer and jumped into a black Lincoln MKS.
The homeowner followed the man and called 911. As he was on the phone with police, the homeowner said that the intruder fired four shots at his car.
The homeowner was not hit.
League City police swarmed the area and found a car that matched the homeowner's description near Big League Dreams Parkway and the Interstate 45 South feeder road.
Officers reported seeing the driver of the Lincoln toss several items out the car window.
Among them was a handgun, League City Police Department spokeswoman Reagan Pena said.
Police stopped the vehicle.
The driver, Ryan Olmos, 22, of League City was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence.
He was being held on bonds totaling $225,000.
Pena said other charges were pending.

The Pub at Saddleback is a perfect spot for rehearsal dinners, bachelor parties, and the cocktail hour of your reception. The Pub overlooks Saddleback Lake on one side with views of the forest on Saddleback Mountain on the other side.
Lupine season and fall foliage season are two of the most popular times to schedule a wedding at Saddleback. During lupine season, from late June through mid July, the mountain slopes are covered with purple, pink, and blue lupines. In the fall, classic New England foliage gives the mountain a whole new look. Fall wedding decorations include deep rich colors, reflecting the colors of the foliage and colors found in the harvests of the season.
When you choose Saddleback as your wedding venue, we are here to help you plan as well as set everything up for the wedding and pack it all up for you.

Explore the Great Allegheny Passage and More
Get Out and Play! Outfitters •
Escape Kit
- A Two-Day Guided Cycling Tour of the Great Allegheny Passage for Two, Including:
- A One-Night Stay at the Morguen Toole Company
- Shuttle Service for Two People and Two Bikes to Trail
- Guided Tour of the GAP Trail with One Boxed Lunch per Person on Day Two
- Two Bottles of Water Per Person Daily
- Beer Flight and Ghost Tour at Hotel for Two
The Destination
Nicknamed the "Maple City" in honor of the Indians who once made syrup in the area, the Pennsylvania town of Meyersdale has always respected its ties to the land. Aside from its sweet syrup—which has its own festival in early spring—this classic Americana community prides itself on its trails: The 135-mile Great Allegheny Passage unfolds from the city's place in the Casselman River Valley, and acts as an ode to the surrounding natural vistas and architecture. Thousands of visitors per year lace up their hiking boots or hop on their sturdy two-wheeler for the journey, which includes passing under the Big Savage Tunnel, a feat of the Gilded Age, or gliding past towering windmills cloistered on the hills.
The Digs
Set in downtown Meyersdale, the Morguen Toole Company embodies the understatedly cool attitude that comes with being a pub, a hotel, a restaurant, and an events space in one. Established in a four-story building that dates back to the 19th century and was re-opened in 2011, the Morguen is a mix of classic taste and modern style. Exposed brick walls and dark-wood accents can be found throughout the property, and while the hotel rooms are more eclectic, with bunk beds and a mix of private bathrooms and communal bathrooms, these hostel-style spaces suit all needs and comforts. After a long day on the trails, order a beer at the bar, and then choose from a selection of hearty meals at The Alley Door.
The Diversions
Grab your cycling gear and head to the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in Cumberland, Maryland, where a crew of friendly guides will pick you up and shuttle you and your gear to Confluence, Pennsylvania. From here, you'll begin your journey along the Great Allegheny Passage—named the Best Fall Trip in National Geographic Adventure Magazine—before bunking up at the Morguen Toole Company in Meyersdale for an evening of brews and scary stories: Your trip includes a beer tasting and a guided ghost tour. Later, cruise through the Big Savage Tunnel, the Borden Tunnel, and across the Mason-Dixon Line.
"Like many of the nation's multi-use trails, the GAP was created from an abandoned rail line. (The last train rolled through in 1975). It exists largely thanks to the vision and persistence of the Allegheny Trail Alliance."-- USA TODAY

|Thanks for the site; what a great idea. Hope it works for me. Is it alright if I stick to Aus beer while viewing this site?
I have a Fisher and Paykel Washing Machine Smartdrive GW703-U.
Twice I've done "Hot", "High" loads and burnt out my motor controller. Must be the steam/condensation and I wont be doing that again.
This time I've put the new controller in and set the size.
When I power up all the lights come up and the control panel is fully functional. Press the start button and the first light flashes as expected, press it again and it stops. Everything looks perfect but nothing happens. I've tried different settings, all hot, all cold and I've advanced it to "Spin" and still nothing.
I have no knowledge of how to start, read and interpret self diagnostics, what should I do?

|It has a magnetic switch which is activated when the lid is shut, and it sounds like the switch has failed. The start/pause button is going as the light stops flashung on the panel. P/N in NZ is 426457p, probably the same in OZ. To replace, you need to remove the main control board as the switch is attached to the same harness as the out of balance switch connections( it might pay to get a new oob switch kit P/N 420313p if it is avaliable as the oob switch will possibly be corroded), remove the 2 bungs on the front edge of the top deck, and lift up. On the rh side you will see a small white cover with two wires running to it, TA DA, this is the switch. Just remove the screw and the old switch + harness and fit the new one, making sure that the wires are tightly fitted all the way up the side of the top deck as if the wires fall out and rub through on the cabinet, BANG!!!, one control board. As always, if you can see a wire or connection make sure the appliance is turned off.

Eric Schmidt Talks About His North Korea Visit: Global Internet Access Is The Key
The Google chief visited the strict dictatorship with Bill Richardson, among others.
Eric Schmidt's three-day visit to North Korea has ended. The trip, which elicited frowns from the U.S. State Department, was described by him as "a private visit to North Korea to talk about the free and open Internet," and included a visit to an e-library, where some students are allowed to surf the web for educational purposes only.
Schmidt's companions on the trip, which came just weeks after Pyongyang's controversial rocket launch, included former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Understandably, the Google chairman, advocate of a free Internet, had put a technology jaw-jaw at the top of the agenda. "As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their view of the world," he told reporters after flying into Beijing. Without an open web, the North Koreans can kiss economic growth goodbye, Schmidt said.

Maggie gains, loses businessesRobotics plant a no-go
MAGGIE VALLEY — In the Maggie Valley business community, as in life, nothing is ever static. It seems just as a shiny, new business starts up, an old, well-known shop or restaurant shuts down, and thus the cycle continues.
This ebb and flow is as old as the town itself, but after the recent closing of both The Nutmeg Bakery Cafe and Garlic Knots, combined with the loss Hillbilly Grocery a few months ago, it seems Maggie might be on a negative trend. Teresa Smith, however, feels differently. As the executive director of Maggie Valley Chamber of Commerce, she explained that she's seen this ebb and flow for years.
"Businesses come and go," she said, simply. "And some of it is business reasons and some of it is family things."
While she didn't know of any stores coming in soon to feel the void left by the loss of Nutmeg's donuts or Hillbilly's meat market, she explained that these recent changes are "just a natural business cycle," the kind that occurs anywhere else.
It's hard to imagine, however, that the residents of most towns are as vocal and passionate about the cycle as Maggie's
No robots, really
The recent fight over the question of adding a robotics manufacturing business to Maggie's main drag in a prime example. For months, part-time resident Mick Combs attempted to bring his business, Automation Design Design Tech, to the old Carolina Nights building on Soco Road. After being approved by planning board and famously shot down by the zoning board of adjustment, his business — and light manufacturing in general — was allowed in by the board of alderman in November. Now, only a few months on, it turns out the robots aren't coming to Maggie after all.
The building was recently sold to Phil and Camala Ferguson, who own Smoky Mountain Steel Horses, a motorcycle shop in Waynesville. Though the couple wasn't ready to go into detail about their plans for the building quite yet, it seems they're looking at doing something entirely outside the realm of motorcycles — or robots, for that matter.
As Town Planner Nathan Clark put it, the business won't be making "robots or semi conductors or light sabers. It's definitely going to be an entertainment venue that reflects Maggie's past, present and future."
For the moment, the couple is still "feeling out the demand" as they kick around ideas, he explained. A few options include a music venue or a type of movie theater, though Clark wasn't about to speculate, and the Fergusons could not be reached by press time.
As for Combs, who also could not be reached, the reason behind his change of heart remains unclear. Combs hasn't shared anything about the situation with the town, Clark stressed, though he didn't sound concerned. More than anything, he seemed pleased to see a vacant space downtown finally be purchased.
"We are very happy that there is a new owner of that property," Clark said.
Winter wonderland?
Though Maggie is a historically seasonal town, with many of its shops and restaurants closing down in the winter months, that might be changing soon. Smith explained that next winter, the town is opening an ice-skating rink at the festival grounds, and there could be a campaign afoot to brand Maggie as a "winter wonderland."
"We're trying to gear toward beefing up our winter business," Smith said. "For many years, that's where we saw our most growth."
Cataloochee Ski Area, which had its best year ever last winter, could help the cause, as well as Tony's Tube World. A possible new boon to Maggie could also come from Fie Top Flumes, a year-round tubing spot recently opened on Fie Top Road.
Burton Edwards certainly hope so. Edwards, who owns the business with his wife, Caroline, explained that when he was thinking this new venture, he was reminded of his time studying marketing at Western Carolina University. There, he read the book "In Search Of Excellence," which contained a message he'll never forget.
"You make the kids happy, and the parents will come," he said, paraphrasing.
While he believes, like Smith, that Maggie's business community goes through cycles, he remembers when he was growing up here people to used to stay longer in town. He believes that having more things to do, especially for children and family, would help return Maggie to that former glory. Fie Top, which uses a special kind of plastic to quickly propel tubes down four runs, is an attempt to help it get there. Edwards stressed that he's not trying to be in competition with anyone, but simply add a business to the mix that might help everyone trying to make a living in Maggie.
"The more we can do together as a business community, the more chance we have of getting repeat business or stay over business," he said.
As for the idea of Maggie dropping its whole seasonal image, Edwards seems all for it. In the future, he imagines his tubing business will operate in every season, maybe with only a short break in the spring. This, he believes, might just be the kind of schedule that will help his little hometown come back to life.
"All the businesses in Maggie can help each other — just by being open year round," he said.

University of Michigan Football Players
Junior/Sophomore Strong Safety Julius Curry
On safety Cato June ... "Cato is looking really good. His knee is almost 100 percent. He has all it takes to have a good spring and a good season."
On the new turf in Oosterbaan Fieldhouse ... "I like it a lot. At first it took me a minute to adjust to it. I was wearing turf shoes at first, then I started wearing cleats. It's working pretty good as far as cleats. You have to worry about getting your knee caught in certain ways, but it's a lot easier on your back."
On who he feels will step up this year ... "I think, of course, Cato June and wide receiver Ron Bellamy are going to do excellent jobs. Chris Perry and Walter Cross will have a lot on their hands, and I think they're going to do a pretty good job. Young guys, there are a lot of young guys on the offensive side of the ball. The defense is getting a little bit older now, the cornerbacks are becoming juniors, and we'll be seniors. I think the defense will be a lot more mature, and the offense will mature as the season goes on."
On his brother Marcus ... "My brother is going to play cornerback this year. That's going to be a big challenge for him. He'll need to have a good spring, and hopefully this season he'll do a good job."
On the defensive struggles last season ... "It's motivated us a lot. We were within three plays of a national championship last year. We just don't want that to happen this year. We want to go in there and know that you can go in and take the lead and keep the lead. That's one of the things that we always talk about, is the defense keeping the lead once the offense puts us up."
On Drew Henson's performance in 2000 ... "Drew just came in and took over the show basically. In the Illinois game, I was kind of surprised because I didn't know he was going in and then seeing what he did in the two-minute portion of the game. Basically I didn't know he was going to be back like he was, seeing him dive on his first touchdown back, that was pretty exciting. Drew's going to be Drew, he's going to perform when he needs to perform. He's a guy you can count on."
Junior Quarterback Drew Henson
On the offensive line ... "I wouldn't expect for them to drop off at all. Michigan recruits some great offensive linemen. After guys leave, it's up to the next guy to step up and assume that role. As we get into spring ball, it might not be perfect, but that's what practice is for. I'm excited to see these guys and what they can do. It goes back to 1997 -- all these guys that were leaving this past year were young and so that's not a concern in my mind."
On David Terrell ... "I talk to David a couple times a week usually. He's doing well. He's in town for Pro Day, but he's in the next step of his life. In college, as high profile a school as this is, you're still sheltered in many ways, and he's had to take that next step. I'm pulling for him, and he knows he's got all of us behind him. I know he's going to do great and make himself a lot of money."
On the Heisman Trophy ... "I think a lot of kids growing up have goals, and that's the ultimate individual honor in college football, in college sports at all. It's not something I've seen anyone worry about himself. Usually those teams who are in the national championship race are the ones with the front-runners come November or December. Look at the finalists from last year. Not only did they put up big numbers, they were teams in the running for the national title. Without your teammates, without a successful season, that's not going to be there. Rather than me worrying about that, I'll go into each week trying to win games. If we can do that, those things will be there in the end."
On possibly adding a game to the schedule ... "I think it depends on the situation. If we got to play a home game, most everyone would be for it. That's not my decision, that's Coach (Lloyd) Carr's and the athletic department's. As far as playing, everyone loves to compete and that's just another game we get to play. It's usually in front of a national audience and the weather's nice and that's a great time in Ann Arbor to play. So from our perspective we'll play anybody, but things have to fall into place for that to happen."
On the new turf in Oosterbaan Fieldhouse ... "It's easier on your back for conditioning everyday. The other stuff was classic AstroTurf, and it was pretty hard. For us to be in there almost every day running and throwing, you're not as sore when you're done."
On what he will be concentrating on ... "Just continuing to be efficient with the ball, always taking care of it. We were able to do that very well last year, but it's something you can never relax in your mind. You always have to carry the football and continue to work on fundamentals and accuracy. For me this spring, just assuming more of a leadership role is important. I'm one of the oldest guys this year, and there'll be some young guys who, as we begin, need someone to stand up and make sure they're in the right position. That will probably be the thing in spring ball that I try to focus on the most."
On his receivers ... "It's just a matter of me taking the normal reads as I always have; there'll just be another guy out there. I don't make a conscious effort about who I'm throwing to, so it won't be hard to make that adjustment."
On receivers Ronald Bellamy and Tyrece Butler ... "Dave (Terrell) was the ultimate -- he was physical and he was fast. These guys bring a ton of athleticism also. I think Ronny is going to have a great year for us. I wish I could've gotten the ball to him more last year because he's got a world of talent. Butler's coming off the knee injury, so we'll have to see how he does with that. I assume he'll be fine, he's been working hard. We've got some freshmen in though that I think will be there come fall. In a sense I think we'll be deeper in the receiving corps than we have the last couple of years. I've been throwing so many balls at David, I think we'll spread out the reception a little more this year. I think it will keep the guys fresher because they can run more people.
On getting used to a new center ... "You'd think it would be tough, but Jonathan Goodwin played center all last spring, in case Dave (Brandt) did get hurt in the fall that Jonathon would be able to assume that role. So Jonathan probably moving over to play this year, I've already practiced with him a long time, so I don't think that will be a problem. For me the only adjustment is I have a different guy to take the snaps from, but that's another thing. Practicing right now will get those kinks out so it isn't an issue in August."

FRESH Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 – Coral – Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Brand: Fresh
Range: Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
Shade: Coral
Swatched by yours truly: Yishan
- A cult favourite amongst beauty junkies, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are scientifically proven to keep lips moisturized for up to 6 hours after initial application, guaranteed to give smoother softer lips and prevent dryness.
- Transforms lips into juicy pillowy cushions, thanks for a blend of repairing oils (rich in plumping essential fatty acids) and waxes with real sugar (a natural humectant to retain moisture) and vitamins A, C and E for anti-oxidant protection.
- Coral is a reddish coral. Although coverage is buildable, I find it best worn sheer, as over application tends to transfer onto teeth & cups etc.
- Texture is incredibly buttery & waxy at the same time, and the bullet is often left looking like whipped butter after I'm done applying.
- You only need a small amount & press your lips together to blend. Over applying can lead to a "ring" effect around your lips due to the slippery finish, and losing half of it onto your cup!
- It's not only citrus in scent, but there's also a distinct waxiness in the taste too.
- Free of petroleum, mineral oil and lanolin.
- Verdict: I can confidently say that the hype & scientific claims are all true. I apply this 2-3 times a day, and I find the moisture lasts me throughout the whole day and my lip flakes don't appear until they are ready for "turnover" after a good 3 days. My only gripe is the waxy taste and the tendency for it to slide & transfer onto teeth and cups. But as I value moisture over lasting power, this is currently my daily go-to lip product for the office. Especially when I need to keep my lips in condition for a swatching weekend ahead!
I purchased this product from Sephora.

Oh man, I LOVE the Fresh balms. This colour is amazing. Have been toying with buying this for weeks, but Fresh balms are a really expensive habit.

What is so important about the launch of iOS? Recently, Apple has brought out the latest build of the software just prior to releasing the newest version of its touchscreen phone. For example, in 2009 and 2010, Apple released upgraded iPhone software just before introducing the next version of the handset. In 2009, just 2 days before the Apple iPhone 3GS went on sale, Apple released version 3.0 of what was then called "iPhone software". Last year, iOS 4 was released 3 days before the launch of the Apple iPhone 4.
Another tip comes from the CEO of French carrier Orange, Stephane Richard. Richard said in a televised interview, "If I believe what we heard, the iPhone will be released Oct. 15." When the CEO of a carrier talks, it usually carries more weight in this situation than other sources. One point to bring out is that the company he heads, Orange, is in France which means that a U.S.launch could be a few days earlier.
This seems to fit with what we earlier reported about a potential Apple iPhone 5 release, which pointed to pre-orders at the end of this month and a launch on October 7th. And around that time, we are looking for the launch of a number of high end Android models like the HTC Vigor (HTC ThunderBolt 2?) and the Samsung DROID Prime. For U.S. smartphone fans, this could be the most exciting time of the year.

I'm a somewhat new sock knitter. I want to make a pair of socks using the magic loop method. I've practiced on a pair of fingerless gloves and find this method easier than double pointed needles.
I couldnt' resist and bought one skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted Weight yarn. It is 100% superwash wool and 225 yards. Is this enough to make a pair of simple women's socks? Also, I've noticed that much of the sock yarn has some nylon in it. Will 100% wool work as well?
Thank you in advance to all of you experienced socknitters out there!
silver's sock tutorial is written for worsted weight yarn, and requires between 225 and 350 yards, depending on how long you want the cuffs. the good news is that since she has you making both at once, you could just stop when you run out of yarn, and they'd both be the same height! i'm working on my first pair of socks right now using silver's method, and i've got the end of my one skein as sock a and the center of the ball as sock b. it's probably a little more difficult this way (working from both ends of one skein) to make sure i don't get tangled, but my one skein was 450 yards and $15, so i didn't want to buy two.
i'm certainly not an experienced sock knitter, but i don't see why 100% superwash wool wouldn't work...
good luck!

I was sitting with my son and teaching him a chapter in geography on "Our Changing Environment", Changes that our Planet earth is witnessing over a period of time. How Earthquakes are caused by shifting plates in the crust of the Earth. While this phenomenon happens only once in a while, it causes significant damage. I couldn't help relate this to my professional space. How Digital Communication as a medium is always in the realm of earth shattering changes. The new undisputed digital communication channel on the Block and Agenda No.1 amongst all Marketers is FACEBOOK. At iStrat we are busy crafting meaningful social media strategies for our clients. Some Must Do's for everyone who is contemplating getting on this channel:
What is your objective:Your intent could be outreach, communicating with your target audience updating them with your new offers, products, Television commercial et al. Facebook also is an excellent platform to listen to what customers have to say about you. In fact a lot of marketers are sifting through Social media channels to get first hand feedback on product or service experience. Or your Facebook Page could be about bringing your fans together and allowing them to hang out and converge and just talk about how great your brand is. You must identify your objective since this will help you plan your posts and integrate facebook applications.
Communication Plan:Facebook is about frequent conversations with your fans. That surely means it cannot always be a Me or an I (as in just talking about your brand). You should align contextually with some kind of value added content. For example if you are a Car Manufacturer amongst some of your own posts you can have updates on Music to Suit your Drive, Quotes On leadership to get you through the day. Including interesting applications that will engage the user, are simple intuitive and are designed within Facebook Specifications. You have to have a dedicated monthly plan and what will you communicate on Facebook.
Team:You need a dedicated team to manage this initiative for you, team that includes Content Writers, Graphic Designers and Online marketing experts. Internally, it's important to have identified Subject Champions, that allow immediate attention to any comment or post that needs attention. A well designed escalation tree. The criticality of the needs to be understood by the Senior management. In fact on most of our accounts we have access escalation process defined up to the CEO or CMO.
Content Update Plan:After having everything in place, the last thing you want is for users to land on your facebook page and leave immediately. Marketing your company on facebook is a process not a time plan. Here, engagement is the key. To maintain the interest of people we need to talk about what interests them, which is never the same everyday. So, to make them stay on your page and comeback often, a well defined content update plan is the key.
Moderation:Facebook settings allow you to control how your fans will interact with your page. You can limit them to comment only on your post or allow them to start a post, update a picture video or more. Basis what your fan page settings are you will have to define a team that will moderate FGC (Fan generated Content). An ideal way to moderate a post is by defining a scenario and then preparing predefined templates to respond to your fans. Also your House rules will help you define what is Off-Topic.
Promoting your Facebook Page:Given a choice today, how do you wish to be updated? AHHH! Yes on Facebook. Have you thought why?, Because you have limited time in a day and with the News Feed you get updates across your friends, family and Now even Brands you Like. In fact even if a Fan comments on your post a few days later, the posts re-enters the NewsFeed for all to see. So make sure you as a Marketer leverage this. Include cool Facebook Widgets. Include the LIKE widget on all your Marketing communications; make sure your ads, TVC, newsletters, In-store Collaterals, Products include your facebook Page. You will be surprised to see how your Customers first 'Like' you to then blatantly dislike you with Comments!!!! That was just a PJ to leave this post with a smile :)
Cheers for now!
