Naru Restaurant and Lounge
Glimpsing from the ride back to our lovely accommodations here in Barbados, I espied what turned out to be a gem: Naru Restaurant and Lounge. The street side greeted us with lovely plants on an old gracious portico (we were walking, but they have a parking lot), and energetic but suave staff greeted us with open Barbadian charm. We were seated at a comfortable table for 2 overlooking the beach and the waning light on the water.
Service was meticulous and attentive, and our waiter, Andre has a great sense of humor as well as knowledge of the menu and preparation of the Asian-fusion cuisine. The sushi menu is sprightly and inventive- ingredients are fresh and creatively combined. The full menu of appetizers and mains contain gems prepared to a tee. A full bar boasts a sake selection as well as beers, wines and mixed drinks. Dessert is worthwhile- exquisitely fashioned and in perfect proportion. Each plate is a lovely vision as well as a satisfying culinary adventure.
We looked for a different place to enjoy the next night, and after perusing 3 or 4 different menus at other places, we decided that we had to return to Naru to try other dishes. We were again met with inventive deliciousness!
It seems a testimonial that folks from the next table, with whom we struck up a conversation are both native to Barbados and consider Naru to be a favorite 'nice' meal.
Two happy foodies recommend Naru!
We keep coming back, and are here right now!
We arrived yesterday, and are so happy to be back. We have been taken so well care of by all staff since the minute we arrived! It took only a few minutes to check in, and it was flawless. We are staying on points, and when we returned from dinner, we had a plate of delicious fruit waiting for us in our room! What a special little extra treat! The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food at all of the restaurants is delectable! We just did the Thursday buffet at Coco Joe's this evening, and it was well worth the $45 dollars! Aqua Terra has the best seafood linguine. The breakfast buffet is the best we have ever had. The view of Charlotte Amalie from our balcony is breath-taking! Love this resort! We will not want to leave next week!!!
Captain Mike's Dolphin Tours
This tour scored very low in comparison to the previous Dolphin tours that we attended in Myrtle Beach. The boat was raggedy. The parking was terrible with little to no space for tour customers. If we hadn't made a space we'd would've lost the whole $197 that we paid. It was a wobbly ride and to top it off the lady at the office was extremely rude! She had an uninviting face when we walked up. My 80 year old father took ill less than 4 hours before the tour so my mom had to tend to him. We purchased 13 tickets and this was an act of nature. She didn't even appear apologetic when she told us that we could not get the 2 tickets refunded because they turned others away for that tour and that we needed to cancel 4 hours prior. Well, had the illness occurred 4 hours prior we would have. By the way, if the lady that works in the office reads this, I'd like to suggest that you smile in the future as you are already very unattractive to the eyes!

Keillor plans 26-city 'Radio Romance Tour'
MINNEAPOLIS — Humorist Garrison Keillor won't be taking a summer vacation.
Instead, the creator and host of "A Prairie Home Companion" will kick off a 26-city "Radio Romance Tour 2013" next month.
Keillor wraps up the current season of his popular public radio variety show on Saturday from Tanglewood in Massachusetts. Then he's launching his coast-to-coast bus tour July 8 in Spokane, Wash.
Keillor plans 27 concerts, from Washington state to Maine. The shows will not be broadcast.
Keillor will be joined by comedian Fred Newman, who does sound effects, and pianist Richard Dworsky and the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band featuring guitarist Pat Donohue and violinist and mandolinist Richard Kriehn. The shows will run more than two hours and will offer duet singing, with either singer Aoife O'Donovan or singer and fiddle player Sara Watkins.
There also will be such "Prairie Home" staples as commercials for fake sponsors, like Powdermilk Biscuits, Guy Noir Private Eye and the latest News from Lake Wobegon.
"The summer tour is a show that I carpenter together from things that I remember liking a lot over ... the last 20 years or so, and piecing these all together" Keillor told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday.
Keillor said that during intermissions, he and either O'Donovan or Watkins, depending on the date, will stroll into the audience with hand-held microphones to sing duets.
"Some people sing with us and other people just go to the toilet," Keillor said.
Keillor has done previous summer tours and said he likes the activity.
"Sitting on the porch with a lemonade is a very nice idea. But what will I do on the porch after 15 minutes that is less interesting?" he said.
The tour wraps up Aug. 6 in Interlochen, Mich., the day before Keillor's 71st birthday. The next season of "Prairie Home" opens in mid-September at the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul.
"A Prairie Home Companion" draws more than 4 million listeners on more than 600 public radio stations each week. The show will celebrate its 40 anniversary next year.

LONDON — Mick Jagger thinks his original career plan to become a schoolteacher might have provided plenty of satisfaction.
The Rolling Stones frontman told BBC Radio today that his music career has not been challenging intellectually and that teaching might have been "gratifying" instead.
He also said he had considered becoming a politician or a journalist when he was a teen.
Instead he has become one of the most successful rock singers in history.
Despite his interest in other careers, Jagger says he's "very pleased" with how things have turned out.
The band is marking its 50th year together with a series of concerts that will also include a first-ever appearance at the Glastonbury festival this weekend and a return in July to Hyde Park in central London.

NEW YORK — Will.i.am says a trademark that Pharrell's company tried to register is too similar to his "I AM" trademark.
Will.i.am has owned the "I AM" trademark since 2001. He filed objections in March and May against Pharrell Williams' company, i am OTHER, that launched in 2010.
Hertz said that because of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's deadlines, will.i.am "had no choice but to lodge his objection at the time he did."
Pharrell said in a statement that he was disappointed and surprised by will.i.am's objection.
"The plain truth is that Will has obstructed every overture made by Pharrell to amicably resolve this matter and has steadfastly refused to engage in a dialogue," said Pharrell attorney Brad Rose in a separate statement.
Will.i.am uses "I AM" for his businesses, including his charity foundation I AM ANGEL.
Pharrell's i am OTHER produces the hit Web series "Awkward Black Girl" and other Web series.

- Daenerys Targaryen: "What do you pray for, Ser Jorah?"
- Jorah Mormont: "Home."
- — Jorah Mormont longing for his home.[src]
Bear Island is a remote island in the North of Westeros, and home to House Mormont, vassals of House Stark of Winterfell. It lies within the Bay of Ice on the western coast of the North. The island remains relatively poor.[1] It is densely forested with a large bear population which earned the island its name.
During the Age of Heroes, Rodrik Stark allegedly won control of the island in a wrestling match with an ironborn. Rodrik gave Bear Island to the Mormonts who have been loyal supporters of the Starks ever since.[2]
Lord Commander Jeor Mormont of the Night's Watch was born on Bear Island, as was his son, Jorah. Jorah and his wife were forced from his land and fled into exile after he sold poachers he had caught on Bear Island. Following Jorah's disgrace, Jeor's younger sister Maege Mormont became Lady of Bear Island.
Season 1
When Daenerys Targaryen first meets Ser Jorah, he states he is from Bear Island.[3] Later Jorah relates to Daenerys about how Eddard Stark forced him from his lands.[4] When asked by Daenerys what he longs for, Jorah simply replies, "Home."[4]
When Jon Snow receives Longclaw, the ancestral Valyrian steel sword of House Mormont, Lord Commander Jeor Mormont recalls how when Jorah brought dishonor on their house, he had the grace to leave their sword at Bear Island before fleeing.[5][6]
Season 5
Stannis Baratheon has come to Castle Black and sends ravens to all Northern Lords to ask them to join his cause. Lyanna Mormont, the 10-year-old daughter of Maege Mormont and Lady of Bear Island, sends back a rebuff that reads: "Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark."[7]
Season 6
Jon Snow, his half-sister Sansa Stark, and their advisor Davos Seaworth travel to Bear Island to seek the support of Lyanna Mormont in their efforts to retake Winterfell from Ramsay Bolton. Lyanna is initially hostile toward Jon and Sansa, not considering either of them Starks, and seems poised to dismiss them. However, Davos manages to sway her by telling her that the real war is "between the living and the dead and the dead are coming." Swayed by Davos's counsel, Lyanna agrees to add her 62 fighting men to Jon Snow's Wildling army.[8] She also personally accompanies Jon, Sansa, Davos, and the other leaders at a parley with Ramsay Bolton.[9] After the battle, Lyanna scolds Lords Wyman Manderly, Robett Glover, and Cley Cerwyn for refusing to help House Stark take back Winterfell. She is subsequently the first to declare Jon the new King in the North.[10]
In the books
According to legend, in ancient times, Bear Island was ruled by House Woodfoot, who were wiped out when the Ironborn conquered the island. Bear Island is home mostly to woodsmen, crofters and fisherfolk, as well as the bears that give the island its name.
There is a warrior woman tradition on Bear Island, because with all of the husbands and fathers away for long periods of time on fishing boats or working in the fields, the local women of the island had to be prepared to defend their homes and children from raids at a moment's notice (raids from both the Ironborn further south, and from wildlings who avoided the Wall entirely by using boats to cross the bay from the Frozen Shore on the other side).
The Mormonts' seat is a huge wooden hall, defended by an earthen palisade. According to the semi-canonical A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying Campaign Guide: A Game of Thrones Edition from Green Ronin Publishing it is named Mormont Keep.

Honey-Maple Glazed Ham RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1 1
My graham cracker-crusted ham gets a double coating of a simple honey-maple glaze. The first half melts into the ham while the second half forms a sweet caramelized topping. —Alan Sproles, Knoxville, Tennessee
Recommended: Grandma's Best Suppers
- 1 spiral-sliced fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup honey
- Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place ham on a rack in prepared pan. Pour maple syrup over ham, separating slices. In a small bowl, beat the remaining ingredients until blended; spread 3/4 cup over ham.
- Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours. Spread remaining butter mixture over ham; bake 30-45 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Yield: 15 servings.

In A Cat's Arse We Are Running Out Of Oil
Many folks believe that fossil fuels are on the down-side.
They don't realize how everyone has been tricked
by the supply and demand thing and they don't
wonder for one second why the internal
combustion engine hasn't improved
worth a tinker's damn in over one hundred carbonated years.
Thank you, friend.

2009 All-FutureSox Team
By Dan Santaromita
We wanted to make an all-star team of sorts for FutureSox, but fielding an 'all-prospect' team would be as easy as picking the top player at each position from our 2009 Postseason Top 25 Prospects. Clearly that would be somewhat redundant. Instead, we decided to create the All-FutureSox Team as the best performers of 2009. Forget age and park adjustments, this is simple stats. Who had the most productive year for his minor league team(s)? That's what this is.
For a small disclaimer, we chose the outfield spots regardless of position so they were voted on as the best three outfielders. As for pitchers, we chose three starters because that was the mostly random number decided upon as well as a closer and a set-up man. Tell us what you think, a lot of the spots were not easy selections. Without further ado, here's the 2009 All-FutureSox Team in a somewhat fancy Flash presentation (be sure to click on the players).
Note: You will need an updated version of Adobe Flash Player to view the file below. If it's not working, you may need to download it. You can download the latest Flash Player here.

Piers Fawkes: Connecting The Home Is The Next Big Opportunity
While more devices can talk, they aren't having a decent conversation. Let's change that.
As many of you know, we have been running an exhibition in New York's Chelsea for the last five weeks. The Future of Home Living experience brings to life our recent report and shows physical manifestations of key trends that are changing the way we live in our houses and apartments. Dotted throughout the displays are devices that have the ability to talk to other devices – including the Nest thermostat, the Doorbot doorbell, the Canary smoke detector, the Little Printer, and the Jawbone Up band.
The popularity of the Nest in particular suggests to me how quickly these connected devices will mainstream: the thermostat that learns from user activity and can be controlled remotely from your phone already retails in Home Depot and Lowes. How quickly will we see the other objects in our exhibition – many of which are Kickstarter backed – appear in the stores of suburban shopping malls?
I think the one thing that is holding all these items back is that while they can talk – they aren't having a decent conversation. A whole bunch of items in our exhibition can be accessed by apps, API calls or hacks, but I feel there's a layer that's missing. There needs to be a simple to use dashboard that someone at home can use to program their home and all the objects in it.
Someone needs to create an operating system for the home where residents can switch on scenarios. There should be a 'out on vacation' scenario, the 'party' one, the 'looking after the kids' one too. Sure, there's IFTTT (If This Then That) which does a decent job of making connected tech accessible but it still takes a geek to use the tech to really get your at-home devices to talk and react to each other.
These devices need to work with each other to create natural systems that are easy for home owners to understand and and simple to switch on. The doorbell needs to tell your lighting if your date has arrived or it's just the delivery guy. The cooker needs to tell the air-conditioner when to clean the internal air. And so on.
There are a lot of ways all these devices can work with each other – and I'm excited to see how designers and developers will work to create new possibilities around home living. I believe that there's a huge business opportunity for the folks who get it right.
I'm also excited to help fuel the development of the connected home by running a design contest with Jawbone where we ask our readers to imagine the ways all the devices in our exhibition and report could work together. Tomorrow, we will release a brief to our community to respond with scenarios that connect the home. Why don't you take part – there's even a prize.
Simply register to receive a brief – and if you want to come to the face to face briefing on Friday Aug 16 at 2pm, please sign up here.
I can't wait to see how things turn out at home.

Now that Windows Phone 8 is making a big push, the Taiwan based company is banking to see its HTC 8X being the premier smartphone for the platform out of the gate.

:confusedi have one question how is my dad a legend :confused. i know its got something to do with what he makes but, can you help me out.:confused????????
Who's your dad?
Sgt. Fang has produced very nice quality replica items at a very reasonable price. Many people are familiar with and own one of his products, and he's been around quite a while. :thumbsup All of this and good customer service gained him "legendary" status with a lot of us.
I'm very pleased with the helmet I own that he made.
Did you ask your dad?
Wow. A legend? I don't know about that as I can't think of anyone in the Fett community I would consider a true "legend", but Sgt Fang is very well known for providing a low-cost copy of the mystery helmet to the masses. Anyone who sells product on a regular basis is going to have some amount of notoriety simply due to their name being attached to the item they sell. Sgt Fang is no exception as he has been selling for quite a while.
For me, someone like Mark Bradley, Tim Arp, or Dustin Crops Boy would be the closest thing I can think of to a Fett legend as they were doing this way back when reference was much more scarce, the internet was in its infancy, and boards like this were few and far between. Still, these guys were somehow able to produce amazing costumes that inspired the next generation.
I would include GF in your list as well, before he got the C@D.
I'd maybe throw Jonathan Skaines in there as having one of the better "early" costumes as well as starting tubfc listserve.
It's also my understanding (which admitedly is limited) that Sgt. Fang's was among the first if not the first Mystery helmet available. Which I don't know about "Legend" status either, maybe "notable names in fan fett costuming history"

Yes!! Niko ate the same food plus he got raw mixed in and everyone always commented on how soft he was.
I have mine back on Diamond Naturals and they get sardines with it every week.
Jonas and little Penny get Merrick grain free. Both have great coats and lots of energy.
We feed Victor with fish once a week and raw on the weekends. They get Nupro Silver joint supplement as well as flaxseed oil and coconut oil. Everyone always comments on how super soft they are.

When the fish have migrated there are the mountains. Regardless of what some say on the other side of the Divide, they exist in the East. Skiing is a lot like fly fishing in that despite the heavy investment in time, energy and equity there is really no point to its pursuit. Which, to many, is precisely the point. Wiser souls agree:

The Infinite Force on how to write a 'popular' blog on starwars.com. I don't think there's really a set formula, but you might as well give it a try. Early morning rambles and very snarky things about Courtship of Princess Leia or the YJK series (inexplicably beloved by the young'ens) have also been known to work.

The Dark Side's Middle Management
Some hilarious musings on the Sith power structure from Venusburg.
It must have been terribly frustrating for poor Count Dooku, getting older and older in his position in middle management as young Sith turks are fast-tracked into being deputy Sith lord. I mean, the guy is ancient. All the other young Sith must have wondered why, after his long years of service, he was still stuck on the fourth floor, corner office or no. Rumours of some scandal, perhaps involving Darth Sidious' wife. Or could he just not handle the pressure?

Unrivalled in brilliance, Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylics are made with the highest quality, maximum-strength pigments to ensure clean, strong colors with wonderful working properties. Their revolutionary transparent binder virtually eliminates color shift from wet to dry, eliminating guesswork and letting acrylic painters make the most of spontaneous, direct painting techniques.
Brilliance (defined as the richness, intensity, and depth of a color) is possibly the most important quality to look for in an acrylic paint. Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylics are unsurpassed in this regard. This becomes evident when you apply these colors straight from tube to canvas, as well when executing thin films and glazes. Even the earth tones, blacks, and whites are clean and never dull.
Each individual color In the Professional Acrylic line uses the maximum amount of pigment possible — without extenders — to produce a brilliant paint with the broadest handling properties and outstanding color-mixing capabilities.
Winsor & Newton's expertise in resin technology has resulted in a unique binder that is translucent when wet and dries clear — ensuring virtually no shift in color, and colors that remain as brilliant when dry as they are when wet. The result is a range that allows artists to match colors more easily from palette to canvas and see a painting as it will actually look when finished.
Tubes are available in 60 ml and 200 ml sizes. 237 ml jars are also available.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

WN Pro Acrylic Renaissance Gold
By Nancy
from Bethesda md
I just used an older tube of WN Pro Acrylic (labeled as Series 3)in Renaissance Gold and it is still as if new. And the color itself looks like a beautiful ribbon of gold. This tube is probably 10 years old and it's still paints and performs like brand new. I painted an edge on some cardstock and I couldn't believe how smooth and rich it looked. I forgot hoe beautiful this color is and WN is the best.

No colour shift takes paint to a new level
By Ross
from North Vancouver, bc
I'm a professional painter and this is the best acrylic available. The usual acrylic paint darkens as it dries- these paints do not, which is a major achievement. I've switched from my previous choice of artist quality acrylics to these. W & N quality is the standard of quality in paints and these deserve to be more widely available. Good prices here!

Good Stuff
By Harold Roth
from Pawtucket, RI
I usually use Golden Fluid acrylics, but WN had a pigment I wanted - Azo Yellow Deep (PY65) - to complete a limited palette I wanted to worth with that includes anthraquinone blue, anthraquinone red (Graham has it), raw umber, benzidine orange (PO13 Red Orange from Holbein), and yellow ochre. First, this is the perfect yellow for these pigments. It looks horrific (schoolbus yellow) until you start working with it. It makes a fabulous glowing gold in a glaze and good greens with anthraquinone blue. I didn't realize I was getting the big tube, but that's fine, because it also makes a good ground if you are going to paint over with cool tones. It is buttery and dissolves well in a bit dip of water to which Flow Aid has been added. I will keep my eye out for other WN tube colors when they go on sale. I highly recommend the anthraquinone palette I've described if you paint night scenes or stormy skies of if you just want a moodier alternative to an ultramarine blue palette.

Article, 2009-2010 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Women's Basketball
Ohlone Basketball roundup
By Gary van den Heuvel.
Wednesday, January 27, 2010—Reprinted from Tri-City Voice.
The Ohlone women's team is on a roll of their own, with a 6-0 record in conference play and 12-6 overall. This week's victims were Mission College on Wednesday and De Anza on Friday.
Coach Julia Allender praised the play of her squad. "Both Jasmine Rubin and Ganeaya Rogers are playing very well right now and have consistently been a tough guard matchup for the other teams," she said. "Our inside presence is much more effective with Elise Spain and Jayme Leftridge now both consistently scoring and rebounding the ball on both ends."

Matthew McConaughey & Emile Hirsch's SXSW "Killer Joe" Premiere
Bringing their movie to the Lone Star State, the stars of "Killer Joe" made an appearance at the 2012 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas on Saturday night (March 10).
A cowboy hat wearing Matthew McConaughey shared a sweet smooch on the Paramount Theatre arrivals carpet with fiance Camila Alves before joining alongside co-stars Emile Hirsch and Gina Gershon ahead of the dramatic comedy's U.S. premiere.
As for the film, which is yet to have announced a release date, the William Friedkin directed work is about a young man who's life in danger thanks to a debt, which leads him to turn to putting a hit out on his evil mother in order to collect the insurance.
Also starring Juno Temple and Thomas Haden Church, "Killer Joe" has been described as being "gritty and violent" by its cast members while having been slapped with an NC-17 rating as a result.
Enjoy the pictures from the "Killer Joe" premiere at the 2012 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival (March 10).

Congrats to Models who won Amazing Race!
Congrats to the dude model boys who won Amazing Race! By Mike
|Congrats model boys! You deserve the first place and the million bucks for winning the Amazing Race!
It just goes to show that you CAN experiment with DRUGS and get off track so long as you reign yourself back in and get back to the good way of life!
These 2 boys deserve the big prize! Rob and Kimberly would have been deserving as well but I am glad the boys won.
As for Alabama finishing 3rd – they should be proud. They had the most challenging time!
The season finale was fun to watch. The end was a slight bit anti-climatic as they did not play up the race to the finish but despite that it was still satsifying to see all the racers applaud them as the finished first!
Coming soon is Amazing Race All Stars! I wonder who will be on that? Rob and Amber???
Good Locations in this Amazing Race
Where will Amazing Race 10 take us next???
|This season's episodes of Amazing Race 10 are much more enjoyable than last season. Maybe it is the locations that make it better??? Maybe it is the contestants?
Viet Nam, Kuwait, India have been very interesting…
Amazing Race did a great job with casting this go round!
Whatever the reason I am enjoying Amazing Race 10 far more than ever.
I do wish sometimes they'd back off a notch on the frenetic pace, but I guess that is what makes the show tick.
Amazing Race 10 is definitely at the top of my Tivo list and it looks like it will be staying there!
Amazing Race 10 wins a Tivo Time Slot!
OK, I have said it before but I may have to eat my words that Amazing Race is the Amazing Bore!
|Why? Because this season each episode has turned out to be quite entertaining. Also I have hardly ever FAST FORWARDED with Tivo!
HARDLY doesn't exactly make the Amazing Race 10 worthy of a top spot on my TIVO season pass, but assuming I still have room after adding all those new network premeiere series that the Amizing Race 10 will stay on the list.
So, what do I like about it? Well, this season the casting is excellent! The people are all pretty likeable and I am am actually rooting for a few of them! Of course I realize that the attractive babes are soon to start getting knocked up, er knocked off the race, but hopefully it will keep entertaining us!
So for now Phil, you've got my loyalty – but you guys better keep the race fun and exciting!

A Plan To Rid Twitter Of Auto DMs (But Only With Your Help)
Posted by Augie Ray on December 1, 2010
- 449 Recommendations
- 9 comments
Some blog posts generate little reaction; some generate a lot; and sometimes it is a single idea contained within a blog post that spurs the greatest response. I recently authored a diatribe entitled "Eight Things I'm Sick Of In Social Media." The comments associated with the post are fascinating and informative, but one point created the strongest and most supportive reaction: When I said I was sick of Auto DMs on Twitter. (For those who don't know, Auto DMs are generic, pre-programmed responses that are automatically sent to each new follower on Twitter.)
One commenter, Maria Langer, said: "PLEASE OH PLEASE EVERYONE! Block and report the folks who use automated DMs or @replies. These people are spammers!" If her reaction sounds exaggerated, then you haven't seen the results of the online survey we conducted. When asked about Auto DMs, 72% of people said they find Auto DMs unwelcome and 66% have less respect for the people who send them. Maria's strong attitude matches that of most Twitter users.
So, if we (almost) all hate Auto DMs, how can we combat the flow of annoying and often spammy Auto Direct Messages cluttering our Twitter inboxes? We could unfollow or block each sender, but that actually won't change their behavior. Since many of these folks either manually or automatically follow large numbers of people on Twitter, the fact some portion of new followers immediately disappears probably goes unnoticed. A stronger action is required to encourage these people to stop.
If we want to change behaviors, then we must take a more direct approach to educate, help and scare those who use Auto DMs. Here's what I've been doing with some success: I respond to Auto DMs with a DM of my own:
Pls stop sending auto DMs. They're unwelcome, decrease followers & increase spam reports. Survey: http://bit.ly/StopAutoDMs
I was concerned this response might cause a negative reaction, but after three weeks using this technique I've yet to get an angry message in return. Most ignored my helpful advice; some protested that their DM was not automatic (which leads to a different conversation about the danger of sending DMs that appear to be generic and automatic); and I'm very happy to report I've had a couple successes. Two people, @newmedium and @webyogi, thanked me for the information and cancelled their Auto DMs. I hope I don't embarrass these folks by mentioning they are reformed Auto DMers, but I was very impressed with their openness to feedback and willingness to change (which is, after all, the core of social media success, isn't it?) Please follow them -- they've earned it!
So, if you want to help stop Auto DMs, I'd ask that you get proactive and assertive. Copy that tweet and use it any time you're the recipient of an annoying Auto DM. I've stored that tweet in a small TXT file saved on my desktop so it's available any time I need it (but you can save it any way you wish).
Think of it as a Twitter intervention: If a sufficient number of people care enough to cure the senders of Auto DMs of their bad habit, we can make a dent in those annoying generic messages; plus, responding with feedback and information can help those folks be more successful on Twitter. Please give this a try and let me know what happens. If you do this and have any horror stories or successes, please post them here. Or if you have other ideas on how to fight Auto DMs, I'm all ears!
How to stop the Auto DM Pyramid Scheme
Comment from Blake Ethridge (not verified) on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 08:44
Awareness is key I think and not just at the more obvious places like the point of contact when someone sends you a auto DM that you just followed.
I don't attend these but my gut tells me that the Auto DM approach feels like part of the package they must be teaching at seminars around the world titled, "Become an Overnight Billionaire using Social Media", or the like. The secondary education circuit filled with seeming pyramid schemes for how to use various social media tools seems like it must be promoting using Auto DM as an essential step in maximizing your effort on Twitter. I think if you are a speaker at any related industry or event/workshop then don't tell or encourage people to use Auto DM's. We could cut a huge % of this crap out of if we remove it from the educational events out there and instead promote and educate on, "why not to use it!" For every SXSW Interactive there are seemingly 50+ smaller events with seemingly misguided social media "power" seminars. Likewise if you are at an education type of event and anyone encourages this in their presentation, stand up and tell them what bad advice it is... or if you see anything in an agenda with a workshop promoting using Auto DM's, simply don't go.
Aside from educational related places where awareness of this as a negative counter productive behavior needs heightened awareness, anyone with a blog or means to get the word out of why not to use it, should write about it.
I started to DM people back that Auto DM'd me but I don't think people always got it. Too many out there at the end of the day will only see social media tools as a megaphone or people crawler, especially on Twitter. Set up an account, auto follow people based on keywords, set up an Auto DM, never reply to any mentions or anyone else and only post updates with links to their efforts. There are spammers and then their are people like these I often dub the megaphoners. Not seeing how we will reduce the %'s of megaphoners out there until there is a healthy share of awareness and educational opportunities discussing how not to use social media instead of just, "How to Use Social Media Tools to be a Billionaire, win friends, win the Triple Crown, date a movie star, have an instant 200,000+ friends you never knew you had and more... but wait for this one time low low offer you can discover how you can set up an Auto DM to make even more money and get even more friends, operators standing by!"
We can't change all those minds, but...
Comment from Augie Ray on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 11:19
You're right--some people are just out to "make money" and see Auto DMs not as a brand- or reputation-building tool but as a direct response tool. We can't prevent those people, but I suspect many senders of Auto DMs may now know the damage they're doing to their own Twitter goals. I figure if we can just change a few minds, we'll be better for it!
Thanks for the comment!
My hero
Comment from Davina Brewer (not verified) on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 10:20
Augie, for this you get my support, my loyalty and if it succeeds, a holiday bonus. ;-) Funny I never thought of replying to them like this. Not ALL auto-DMs are all-bad; the one-time generic "Thanks for following" is harmless enough though still off-putting. But when it's links to subscriptions and e-books, repeated spamming.. that's gotta go. Look forward to testing this, thanks.
Comment from Augie Ray on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 11:20
Thanks, but I am not deserving of a hero label. But I will take the support and the holiday bonus! :)
Let me know how responding to Auto DM senders goes for you, please.
Another success!
Comment from Augie Ray on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 12:58
I had a DM discussion with someone who sent an Auto DM (or a personal DM that looked automatic) to thank me for following. In the end, he said, "appreciate your taking the time to address this with me." I think there is a greater openness to feedback and change than perhaps we give may think!
Comment from Sean McGinnis (not verified) on Thu, 12/02/2010 - 15:40
I think many people do this because it seems (or seemed) like the thing to do. Many are simply mimicing what has come before. Some don't even know they are doing it.
Maybe I'm on the extreme end of the dissatisfaction curve, but I find even the "hey, thanks for follow me, I look forward to our interactions" type of DM troubling. Over time I have correlated in my head (rightly or wrongly) that type of DM with other things during the normal course of twitter streamdom that I do not particularly care for. As such, I have no problem sending Augie's suggested verbiage to any and all "offenders".
You're not alone, Sean
Comment from Augie Ray on Thu, 12/02/2010 - 17:18
Sean, I agree--the "Thanks for the follow" variety of DMs are just as annoying as the ones that try to sell me something. I'm on Twitter, hence I'm there to connect and the "thank you" is implied and understood. Who wants hundreds of copy cat "thank you" messages flooding their inbox? While some people might argue these are "nice," it's important to recognize the ways in which Twitter is not email or some other communications model--and it isn't "nice" to flood a person's Twitter inbox with a bunch of low-value DMs.
Thanks for the input!
That's a good idea but ...
Comment from Cliff Stanford (not verified) on Sun, 12/05/2010 - 13:57
The DM in response is a good idea but is there any way to automate it?
Fight fire with fire?
Comment from Augie Ray on Sun, 12/05/2010 - 15:38
Cliff, you made me laugh. Fighting auto DMs with Auto DMs sounds like a slipper slope (but wish we could)!

so your suggestion would be to have maven do the compile, and a kind of 'war:exploded', and then run ant to add the customized files and create the war file, is that correct? or should I write a plugin that does that for me?

Former president William Jefferson Clinton will return to Washington on Wednesday, for a celebration of his environmental legacy as the federal government renames the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in his honor.
While several former presidents have federal buildings named after them--including Lyndon B. Johnson, George H. W. Bush and Theodore Roosevelt--it's always worth examining whether the politician in question deserves such an accolade. In the case of Clinton, it's clear he's a natural fit for EPA. Love it or hate it, he enacted some of the most sweeping environmental protections in U.S. history.
Clinton, along with then-EPA administrator Carol Browner and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, pushed through an ambitious environmental agenda with included both bipartisan measures and controversial initiatives that infuriated Republicans. Sometimes the decisions had an air of political calculation, like when Clinton declared Utah's Grande Escalante a national monument shortly before the 1996 election at the suggestion of his pollster Dick Morris. Other times the initiatives represented a clear consensus, such as the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996. Clinton has also continued to press the case for renewable energy and other environmental causes since leaving office, from his perch as head of the William J. Clinton Foundation.
Here are a few of Clinton's environmental accomplishments during his two terms in office:
- The federal government cleaned up 600 contaminated Superfund sites, three times as many sites as had been restored in the previous 12 years
- Clinton protected more than 4 million acres of public land in the form of national parks, monuments and wilderness
- The U.S. Forest Service enacted the so-called "roadless rule" which put nearly a third of the national forests -- roughly 60 million acres -- off-limits to most development.
- Clinton created the Office of Children's Health with EPA, to focus specifically on the environment impacts different activities have on the nation's most-vulnerable population.
Despite this, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) had to do plenty of heavy lifting to make the naming happen. EPA headquarters already had a name--the Ariel Rios Building, in honor of an undercover Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent who was slain in the line of duty three decades ago at the age of 28. The building used to house ATF, but now that ATF has its own building, Rios' family supported the idea of naming a reflecting pool after the agent instead.
"It is the wish of the Rios family that the Ariel Rios name come home to ATF headquarters," the agency said in a statement Tuesday.
Still, according to a Boxer aide, the senator knew she needed to muster bipartisan support for naming EPA's building after Clinton. So after a period of negotiation, Senate Republicans and Democrats agreed that they would rename a federal courthouse in Midland, Tex., after both Bush presidents, and would name a long-vacant Capitol Hill building undergoing renovation after the longest-serving House Speaker in history, Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill." (While this marked a first for George W. Bush, O'Neill already had a federal government center in Boston named after him, and the Central Intelligence Agency named its Langley, Va. headquarters the George Bush Center for Intelligence 15 years ago.)
The compromise legislation passed both the House and Senate by unanimous consent late last year, and was signed into law shortly afterward by President Obama. Just last week the George Mahon Federal Building United States Courthouse, which was named after a former Democratic congressman, became the George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George Mahon Federal Building.
So really, everybody wins.

Canadian Tire lowers forecasts as profit slides
By Leah Schnurr
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian Tire Corp Ltd reported a lower second-quarter profit as it was hurt by tough economic conditions and unseasonable cold weather, prompting it to cut its earnings forecast and sending its shares sharply lower.
The country's largest auto parts and household goods retailer said its net earnings fell to C$97.7 million ($93 million), or C$1.20 a basic share, from C$122.5 million, or C$1.50 a share, a year earlier.
The company said it expects earnings per share for 2008 will be in the range of C$4.75 to C$5.05, falling below earlier estimates of C$5.15 to C$5.40.
Shares of Canadian Tire, which also operates gasoline bars and sells financial services, slumped more than 7 percent on the Toronto Stock Exchange, making it among the day's biggest net decliners.
The company said the cut to its forecast was due to the lower quarterly earnings, an inventory adjustment at clothier Mark's Work Wearhouse, and higher retail inventory at the end of the second quarter.
"The issue is that these guys when they came out with the first quarter, they kind of had that hockey stick expectation for the back half that things would improve, and I think now it's more realistic," said Brian Yarbrough, an analyst with Edward Jones.
"If consumer spending in Canada slows even more then I think, obviously there's a risk to those numbers, but right now when I go through my model ... I think it's realistic -- but, once again, that depends on the environment staying like it is and not getting any worse."
Adjusted earnings fell to C$94.7 million from C$109.8 million, hurt by a C$6.4 million after-tax investment to relaunch the Options MasterCard, as well as the inventory adjustment at Mark's. Continued...

How ridiculous. Instead of doing something to educate people they put up this as a choice in their poll.Congress should close the gun-show loophole, but not try to regulate all private sales
Maybe someone ought to tell them that the dreaded "gun show loophole" is nothing BUT a private sale...

This is from a recent actual guest:
One day, as he leaned over to empty his wife's fries onto a fastfood napkin, Bob, a married man of 8 years, realized he and his wife had never had a getaway except for soccer games and swim meets. Bob decided they needed to spend some Romantic time for just the two of them. They needed a D-A-T-E without the kids. Bob call us and explained the sad state of their romantic life. He was worried about spending the money for the weekend but wanted to really WOW her. Bob's weekend consisted of a private Candle Light Dinner for 2, with a Bath Time Fire Frenzy and a Couples Massage with two nights in the Hunter's Den Loft Suite.
After a relaxing and romantic weekend together, Bob broke the news to his wife…. the weekend cost. She merely leaned over and thanked him for the best time in 8 years — after 8 years of no dates, this weekend was worth every penny!

Peer review in accreditation is based on the fundamental assumption that quality in higher education is best served through a process that enables peers of the institution, informed by standards created and applied by professionals in higher education, to make the judgments essential to assuring and advancing the quality of higher learning.
Peer review means bringing judgment based on experience and knowledge to the evaluation process—from setting the standards, to conducting the evaluation, to making final decisions. In all evaluation processes, judgment, reason, and the documentation of evidence contribute to effective peer review. This is especially true for HLC's accreditation activities; for the breadth of its Criteria for Accreditation requires that their application be informed significantly by the context of the institution and its mission.
Members of the Peer Corps serve as agents of HLC in its evaluation and decision-making processes.
Peer reviewers may serve in a single role or may hold multiple roles simultaneously. In addition, peer reviewers may also serve as members of HLC decision-making groups. Further, they may be invited to serve as speakers, trainers and mentors for HLC programs or as members of HLC task forces and advisory teams.
HLC also includes representatives of the public in its decision-making groups and makes use of one-time peer reviewers who are not regular members of the Corps when appropriate.
HLC peer reviewers have two primary responsibilities:
Effective peer reviewers have several attributes.
They are organizational generalists rather than programmatic specialists. HLC's peer review processes evaluate and accredit an entire institution as a whole. To achieve this, HLC selects and prepares its peer reviewers to conduct evaluations as generalists rather than as administrative, functional area, or programmatic specialists. As generalists, peer reviewers must prepare comprehensively for their HLC work.
Peer reviewers should not confuse institutional and programmatic accreditation. Institutional accreditation does not testify to the merits of every unit or program, nor does HLC attempt to assure that every subject-area specialty is evaluated in depth or represented by peer reviewers.
Peer reviewers maintain objectivity and confidentiality. They must be able to render impartial and objective decisions on behalf of HLC. Therefore, HLC will not knowingly allow participation by persons whose past or present activities could affect their ability to be impartial and objective in evaluation processing.
Before participating in an evaluation process, peer reviewers agree to HLC's Confirmation of Objectivity and Professional Confidentiality policies as regards the institution being evaluated. Confirmation of Objectivity requires disclosure of any conflicts, any predisposition about the institution, or any affiliation that could be prejudicial to the institution in deliberations and decision making or that could otherwise affect in any way such deliberations or decision making.
In addition to confirming objectivity, peer reviewers must agree to protect confidentiality. Professional Confidentiality requires peer reviewers to hold in confidence all information obtained during accreditation processes, including information from discussions with other peer reviewers or with HLC staff and from HLC file materials (previous team reports, portfolios, appraisals, data reports, correspondence, etc.).
Peer reviewers make use of reason and judgment through deliberation. Effective peer reviewers engage in deliberation, recognizing that their role is fundamentally interpretive and requires understanding, reason and wise judgment in applying the Criteria and Core Components to a specific organization.
For accreditation based on peer review to be a credible and effective tool in self-regulation and self-improvement, peer reviewers are expected:
By policy, the majority of members of the Peer Corps must be full-time faculty and administrators from member institutions in good standing. HLC recruits prospective peer reviewers; it accepts nominations for prospective peer reviewers; and it accepts applications from people who want to serve as a peer reviewer.
When first joining the Peer Corps, members complete a probationary term that requires building experience and participating in required training. A peer reviewer's appointment will be reviewed at the end of the probationary period. If invited to continue to serve on the Corps, a peer reviewer will be placed on a four-year term. At the expiration of a term, a peer reviewer may be invited to reapply for reappointment for successive four-year terms.
HLC continually improves the effectiveness of the Peer Corps through enhanced education and training programs. Before becoming full members of the Corps, peer reviewers must complete the required education and training programs upon entering the Corps and are expected to attend additional education and training programs as needed to fulfill and remain current in their roles.
As part of its continuous improvement processes, HLC invites institutions, HLC staff, and peer reviewers to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the evaluation process and the performance of individual peer reviewers. The evaluation responses are used in the term review of individual peer reviewers, in improving HLC's education and training programs, and in evaluating the general effectiveness of HLC's processes.
