Service-Now Names Software Industry Veteran Frank Slootman as CEO
When I met in January with Service-now.com founding CEO Fred Luddy, he said the company that provides software-as-a-service for IT management has enough momentum to carry it through an IPO. Today, if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly, the San Diego company took an important preliminary step in that process by naming Bay Area software industry veteran Frank Slootman as CEO.
Slootman, who was born and educated in Holland, was previously the CEO of Data Domain, the data backup company founded in 2001 with backing from Greylock Partners.
Slootman joined Santa Clara, CA-based Data Domain in 2003 and headed the company through a period of extraordinary growth, which included its 2007 IPO on NASDAQ as well as its acquisition by EMC for $2.4 billion in 2009. (Hopkinton, MA-based EMC topped NetApp in a fierce but short bidding war for Data Domain.) Following the EMC buyout, Slootman remained at Data Domain for 18 months as the company integrated its operations with EMC, forming what is now EMC's backup recovery systems division.
In January, Slootman joined Greylock's Menlo Park, CA, office as a partner. He plans to continue his long-time affiliation with both Greylock and EMC. He told me this morning he plans to move to San Diego, and for what it's worth, that Service-now plans to keep its global headquarters here.
Before joining Data Domain, Slootman focused on application development and infrastructure products as a senior vice president of products operations at Borland Software. He also spent seven years at Compuware as general manager of UNIFACE in Amsterdam and as general manager of the EcoSystems division in Campbell, CA.
Today, his expertise includes enterprise infrastructure and software, which is the focus of the Web-based platform that Luddy developed at San Diego's Service-now.com. Luddy, who founded Service-now.com after leaving Peregrine Systems in 2002, will guide the company's product strategy and evolution as chief product officer.
Service-now generated $86 million in revenue last year, and Luddy says the company just passed the $100 million mark in terms of contracts for this year. "We're currently growing at about 18 percent a quarter, which puts the company on a path to double every year for the foreseeable future," Luddy says. So in Luddy's mind, it's not a question of product readiness or market readiness. Service-now has demonstrated that the market already exists for providing Web-based services that help the 2,000 biggest companies in the world manage their far-flung IT needs.
Luddy has done it before, as the chief technology officer at Peregrine, which installed enterprise software for IT management and was on its own fast-growth trajectory in the late 1990s. That trajectory turned out to be illusory, however. Peregrine was overwhelmed by a corporate accounting scandal that became exposed in the recessionary months that came after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It was eventually acquired by Hewlett Packard, following a searing Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
Luddy, who told me he aspires to make Service-now San Diego's next Qualcomm, said in January the company has no need for additional cash. If it goes public, he said it would likely happen as a "liquidity event" for the benefit of its employees' and shareholders' liquidity.
Service-now raised a total of just $7.5 million in venture capital—all from JMI Equity, the private equity firm based in San Diego and Baltimore, MD, and Luddy says the company has been cash-flow positive since 2007. (Sequoia Capital acquired a stake through founders shares in the company at the end of 2009.) Today, Slootman calls Service-now's growth so far "nothing short of amazing," yet he adds that most of the company's opportunity for global growth remains before it.
Service-now currently generates about 25 percent of its revenue outside the United States, and Luddy says the company believes it can grow to be on par with other major technology companies, such as IBM and HP, that generate 40 to 60 percent of their revenue outside the U.S.
"What I thought was most important was to build the company around operational excellence," Luddy says. "And if you read the story of Data Domain, that's exactly what Frank did in growing that company from a startup to more than 1,000 employees."
A key factor that Slootman cited in managing that kind of fast growth is rapidly increasing Service-now's workforce, which currently totals about 310. About 150 of those employees work in the company's San Diego headquarters. "The thing about an enterprise software company is that it's a ground war," Slootman says. "It's door-to-door fighting, and not just by the sales team. It's the entire company."
Recruiting, training, and bringing new employees onboard through all the functions of a company's operations is a painful process that Slootman compares to building the runway just as the plane is coming in for a landing. Throw in all that door-to-door fighting, and it's a mixed metaphor—albeit a vivid one—that describes the challenges ahead for Service-now.

I host a podcast that involves interviewing lots of mamas and birth professionals about their experiences and opinions. Sometimes, I see threads where issues we've just discussed on my show are being talked about. I always want to throw in a link to my podcast, but I don't know if that's acceptable under the user guidelines, since it's (sort of) like a blog.
Would it be okay for me to post a link to my show in threads where it is pertinent? Or can I only do something like that with a certain subscriber package to Mothering?
I don't really want to advertise my show heavily here, I only just want to mention it when I feel like it might add to an existing conversation. :) Just want to make sure I do it in a way that's respectful of our community!

Hi Partaria.
I understand where you're coming from. Would you please link me to an example that you might share in a discussion thread?
Sure! I revamped the 'cast recently so there is just our first show up right now... a mama talks about unplanned c-section and her thoughts on whether or not the natural childbirth literature she read was feminist or not. I wanted to link to it in the "perfect birth theory" thread. I also wanted to share it in the unplanned c-section after long labor group.
Again, just let me know what you think. I would only want to post it if it adds to the conversation, and only in accordance with our guidelines.

Roller marks using semigloss pain(t)
WE PUT UP NEW DRYWALL PRIMED IT TWICE AND PAINTED USING VALSPAR SEMI GLOSS KITCHEN ENAMEL. ROLLER MARKS ARE SHOWING AFTER 2 COATS ANY SUGGESTIONS? WE HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS REMODEL AND WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO LOOK REALLY GOOD. FAIRLY NOVICE WITH PAINT INFORMATION ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED:confused1::confused1:
First- all caps is like yelling . Stop it.
Lots of reasons- what was the nap size of the roller cover? Do you know how to lay off paint?
Semi is not easy- it shows all novice errors.
I'll try and find some basic rolling instructions-
Here's one
Also- I work with remoddlers and strongly encourage them to NOT have the homeowner do the finishing. Like you said- you put a lot of money into a remodel- but the finishing is what you will always be looking at. You are proving my point. Sorry to be blunt- but it is the truth. There actually IS some skill to painting.
Hey rollerjockey no we used 3/8 nap and don't know how to lay off paint sure do appreciate your quick reply i will study the link you sent you are awesome we are of course on a budget and would really like this to look as good as possible. Do you only do this as a service?
entertainment! lol :thumbsup:
Budget or no, you need to hire a REAL painter. As brush pointed out, this step is what the world sees and needs to be done right, a 3/8 nap is not the answer.:no:

Kernels crush Clinton in final tune up before playoffs
The Kernels downed the LumberKings 15-6 on Monday afternoon with a seven-run fifth inning to finish with an 88-50 overall record. The 88 wins match the most wins for a Cedar Rapids club in a single-season since joining the Midwest League. The Kernels travel to Quad Cities on Wednesday night for game one of the playoffs.
By Cedar Rapids Kernels | September 2, 2013 5:09 PM ET
CLINTON, Iowa - The Kernels crushed the Clinton LumberKings 15-6 on Monday afternoon in the final game of the regular season. Cedar Rapids scored seven runs in the fifth inning to cruise to the victory. The Kernels play game one of the Midwest League playoffs at Quad Cities on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. The Kernels begin the playoffs with the best regular-season record in the Midwest League.
The Kernels finished the regular season with an 88-50 overall record, matching the most wins for a Cedar Rapids club in a single-season since joining the Midwest League. The 1990 Cedar Rapids Reds also recorded 88 regular-season wins. The Kernels joined the Midwest League in 1962. The 1922 Cedar Rapids Bunnies finished with a 92-37 record when they were a member of the Mississippi Valley League.
In the game, Michael Quesada reached base all five times he came to the plate with two hits and three walks. He has now reached base nine times in a row, dating back to Sunday's game. Quesada drove in two runs in the game. Jonathan Murphy and Adam Brett Walker both homered. Murphy drove in four runs while Walker collected three runs batted in.
Adam Brett Walker gave the Kernels a 1-0 lead in the second inning when he crushed a solo home run to straight-away center field. It was Walker's 27th homer of the season. Walker finished the regular season tops in the Midwest League with 27 home runs and 109 runs batted in.
Walker came up big again the in the fourth inning as the Kernels tallied a pair to go ahead 3-0. Walker's RBI double plated Mike Gonzales, who had singled. Walker would score from second base when Travis Harrison reached on a fielding error.
Clinton cut the Kernels lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning when Gaby Guerrero tripled home a run and then scored on Zach Shank's RBI sacrifice fly.
The Kernels sent 11 men to the plate and scored seven runs in the fourth inning, pushing ahead 10-2. Jorge Polanco's RBI double scored Michael Quesada. Max Kepler ripped a RBI single right up the middle to plate Jonathan Murphy. On the play, Polanco scored on a fielding error in center field. Kepler would soon score on Walker's RBI sacrifice fly. Two batters later, Tyler Grimes doubled home Mike Gonzales. Quesada capped off the inning with a two-run single, plating Travis Harrison and Grimes.
Cedar Rapids added four more runs in the eighth inning, extending their lead to 14-2. Murphy launched a three-run home run to the grass berm in left field. It was his second of the season and brought Grimes and Quesada along for the ride. Later in the inning, Niko Goodrum came home on a RBI sacrifice fly by Gonzales.
Clinton scored four times on back to back home runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, cutting the Kernels lead to 14-6. Guerrero hit a three-run home run to the opposite-field in right field, and then Shank knocked a solo shot out to left.
The Kernels increased their lead to 15-6 in the ninth inning when Grimes came home on Murphy's RBI groundout.
The Kernels used six pitchers in the victory. Miguel Sulbaran (9-4) started and went five innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out one and walked one. Hudson Boyd added a scoreless inning while Josue Montanez went 0.2 inning, allowing no runs. Dallas Gallant allowed four runs over one inning. Brandon Bixler struck out the only batter he faced. Brian Gilbert pitched the final inning, allowing no runs.

The Alphabet of Economic Science

It is the object of this volume in the first place to explain the meaning and demonstrate the truth of the proposition, that the value in use and the value in exchange of any commodity are two distinct, but connected, functions of the quantity of the commodity possessed by the persons or the community to whom it is valuable, and in the second place, so to familiarize the reader with some of the methods and results that necessarily flow from that proposition as to make it impossible for him unconsciously to accept arguments and statements which are inconsistent with it.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – More than two centuries after their famous journey West, Lewis & Clark are on the move again.
The bronze statue officially known as "The Captains' Return" is being moved from its current location beneath Eads Bridge later today.
The likeness of the famous explorers and their dog has spent a lot of time under water since it was dedicated eight years ago, and the elements have already started taking their toll.
So the statue will be cleaned up and then placed somewhere a little dryer—that final location has yet to be determined.

Luisillo and his Spanish Dance Theatre came to Australia under the banner of the J. C. Williamson organisation on four tours, initially in 1958 and again in 1962, 1967 and 1976. The company toured Australia extensively on each of these occasions.
The company's first Australian tour began at the Theatre Royal, Adelaide, on 30 January 1958 with subsequent shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Newcastle, and Melbourne. The company then toured to Christchurch, New Zealand, before returning to Australia for further performances in Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Brisbane and Sydney. The 1958 Australian tour included performances of Sinfonia Sevillana, Gitanos de la Alpujarra, Polo, El Ciego, Ronda Huertana, Pregones Madrilenos, Nocturno Flamenco, Sonatas, Gigantes y Cabezudos, and Café Flamenco. All works on the program had choreography, lighting and artistic direction attributed to Luisillo.
Dancers who appeared in the first tour included Mercedes Ramos billed as the 'star ballerina', Maria Vivo a principal dancer and singer, Teresa Amaya a 'gypsy dancer', Carmen Aracena, Marino Morijo, Fina Vivo, Jose Altamira, Hernando Monroy, Flor Arauz, Manolo Robles, Antonia Mena, Enrique Cagigal, Pablo Canas, Serafin de Andres a dancer and flamenco guitarist, Francisco-Melendez, and Alicia Fernandez.
The company's second Australian tour of 1962, which saw them occasionally billed as Luisillo y su Teatro de Danza Espanola, included performances in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, a second Melbourne season, Newcastle, before finishing with a second Sydney season. The company travelled on to perform in Wellington, New Zealand. The company performed two programs of works, the first included Sanclucar de Barrameda, Sierra Bermeja, Romance Cordobes, Rias Baixas, Homenaje a la Seguiriya, and Gigantes y Cabezudos. The second program included Sinfonia Sevillana, Trigales de Trebujena, Polo, El Ciego, Ronda Huertana, Pregones Madrilenos, Gran Fandango, and Venta de los Pinares.
In 1967 Luisillo and his Spanish Dance Company retuned to Australia, brought by J. C. Williamson Ltd. and Edgley and Dawe. The company's tour, billed as Festival of Spain, included performances in Bundaberg, Rockhamton, Mackay, Innisfail, Cairns and Townsville, as well as Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. The program for the company included performances of Capricho Espanol, Tu y Yo, Bolero, Fantasia Gallega and Flamenco del Rocio.
The fourth Australian tour in 1976 saw the company perform a series of works, including Evocacion, Nocturno, Requium Para un Terero, Gigantes y Cabezudos, Coreortimos, and Flamenco.

Re "Senate OKs concealed-gun bill, sets showdown with Utah guv" (Tribune, March 14):
I am shocked and upset by the passage of HB76, which would allow people to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
As a citizen, I am frightened not only by the obvious safety issues but by the message this bill sends to the rest of the country (Welcome to the Wild West) and its effect on commerce and tourism.
Why foster an environment where people feel the need to carry a weapon in public, concealed or otherwise? Is Utah so dangerous that this is necessary?
Utah is not a dangerous place to live, which is why people choose to live and visit here, spending millions in tourism and recreation. We may lose some of that revenue because this bill suggests Utah is so dangerous and unfriendly its citizens need to carry weapons.
Utah's reputation for ridiculous legislation will skyrocket. Do we really want to suggest to the world that Utah believes watching someone prepare an alcoholic beverage is more dangerous to society than carrying a weapon with no permit?
Gov. Gary Herbert: Please do the right thing and veto this bill.

Hmmmmm ........... ambient temp 90+ degrees and you're firing 3 rounds per minute for 10 minutes ............ yep the barrel gets HOT!!!
This is a discussion on Ar-15 barrel boiling after 30 rounds over 10 minutes time?? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I notice the barrel is boiling after 30 rounds and I mean to the touch, is this normal for these barrels to get this hot? ...
I notice the barrel is boiling after 30 rounds and I mean to the touch, is this normal for these barrels to get this hot? I know the direct gas impingement system delivers really hot gases through the bolt and tube but wow my bolt action is no where near this hot?
Hmmmmm ........... ambient temp 90+ degrees and you're firing 3 rounds per minute for 10 minutes ............ yep the barrel gets HOT!!!
"There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you." William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)

Yes, it's normal. Imagine that, fireing rapid fire, hot propellent gasses and chrome and steel.
What kind of barrel you have in your AR ? What type of barrel profile ? What composition of steel ??
U.S. Army retired
Yep, they get hot.
A couple of weeks ago, we put 50 or so rds of 44 mag through a new rifle in about 15 minutes, standing in the sun when it was 100+ outside. Man that will get your attention when you touch the barrel/front of the reciever.
Hey just don't touch the barrel and you're good to go.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

How hot is the barrel allowed to get before it may cause any damage or warping? I heard a barrel that is really hot warps and the accuracy is off so it's pretty much like you are wasting ammo because the shots are not going where they need to be
I've fired my M91/30 so much in such a short period of time that, aside from the shoulder bruising, the shellac was melting off and I couldn't see the target clearly because of the heat refraction/reflection/whatever it is.
Pat Rogers (EAG tactical) runs test & evaluation guns from various manufacturers through his carbine training courses. Typical round count is 1500+ rounds over 3 days, and during some drills they'll run maybe 100 rounds inside of 3 minutes. More than one T&E gun has been run past the 25,000 round mark in this kind of hard use with no apparent detriment to practical accuracy.

The vast majority of modern gun barrel steel starts out being incredibly high quality steel and is almost always "normalized" and "stress relieved" after machining as part of the SOP manufacturing process and so heat warping should not ever be the same problem that it once was.
Some firearm steel is heat treated before machining as well as after machining.
Naturally all metals in general and all gun barrel steel will expand as heats up and will contract as it cools - so the "ideal" is an even expansion which will keep accuracy within acceptable limits as the barrel heats up and then cools down.
Even if the POI changes slightly with a very hot barrel the slight variation in POI should be irrelevant on a properly designed and assembled battle rifle.

SO.............How HOT can a gun barrel get?
You can watch this one with your speakers turned off...you'll soon find out why.
also. FYI, a DI system has ZERO to do with how hot a barrel gets....
Every fired a semi auto pistol with high cap mag real fast.... so Yes it is normal....
You should see what the barrel on a full auto looks like in the dark.....
"The sword dose not cause the murder, and the maker of the sword dose not bear sin" Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac 11th century
I remember glowing M60 barrels back in the day...
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
A few weeks ago I went to the range with a friend of mine. And his AK. We put about 120 rounds downrange in less than 30 minutes, in 100+ weather. After 45 rounds, the wooden fore-grips were uncomfortable to the touch. I inadvertently touched the barrel at about 100 rounds in, and vowed never to make that mistake again...
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.

As Lee era ends, Singapore braces for change as young worry about future
By Saeed Azhar and A. Ananthalakshmi
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - If Lee Kuan Yew represented the Singapore of yesteryear, his death this week raises the question of whether the generation of leaders in waiting will reshape the mould that transformed the city-state from a colonial backwater to a haven of prosperity.
While Lee had long retired from active leadership, his son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, is still the standard-bearer of a free-market model that relied on efficiency, low taxes, zero tolerance for corruption and a distaste for the welfare state.
Like his father, he has continued to curb free speech and use defamation laws to muzzle critics and political opponents.
But Lee has said he will hand over power by 2020 and speculation over his successor has swelled since she was treated for prostate cancer last month. That, along with a decline in the popularity of the long-dominant People's Action Party (PAP), has brought an unfamiliar whiff of uncertainty to Singapore.
Years of galloping growth have led to income inequality, resentment over immigration, overcrowded trains and expensive housing, issues that knocked the PAP's share of the vote down to 60 percent from 67 percent in elections four years ago.
Since then, the PAP has faced calls to abandon what one senior party member dubbed a policy of "growth at all costs".
"Some of our young were starting to doubt about their future in Singapore as they saw housing and cars beyond their reach because of the rapid rise in prices," said Inderjit Singh, a sitting member of parliament for nearly 20 years.
The party must address these and other challenges, he said. "Failing to do so will see an erosion of support." Continued...

Also having problems connecting through Roku. Hulu Plus works and I can get Netflix on my computer.
Reporting same problem, can access Amazon and HBO Go through Roku but not Netflix.
My Roku XD stopped accessing Netflix about 10 minutes ago. Stuck on the "retrieving" screen now. Crackle is also down. When I press play it brings me back to the home screen. Anyone else having that problem?
Same here none of my rokus work in the house on Netflix.
Same here. Roku stopped accessing Netflix yesterday 02/04/13.
Same problem!
Netflix down since yesterday at 10 pm on roku. Still doesn't work
Any idea who we call to start a fix?
We just finished an episode of a show, and suddenly it won't connect to netflix on our roku. Everything else works, and we get netflix on the computer. If they are having a problem it would be nice if they would at least let users know about it... and the support site is down now as well. Oh well, guess it's Hulu for the evening.
Same problem, same time as everyone else here. Still can't get netflix, and we're in the middle of House of Cards!
Ok I just tried right now after watching like 20 minutes of District 9 on Crackle and Netflix works now! For now... I should say...
Netflix seems to be working as of 6:15 CST.

Matthias Ginter is a centre back who is currently playing for SC Freiburg. Ginter has been linked with many Premier League clubs with Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham all looking to secure his services. The 20-year-old German is usually deployed as a centre back, but can be moved into defensive midfield as well.
With a £9m price tag, Ginter looks to be a quality signing for Tottenham as he is only 20years of age with a lot of room to grow into club. Tim Sherwood has recently called out his team's defensive capacities, so signing a young versatile centre back would help take the pressure off the struggling defence.

The Story the Times Public Editor is Missing
June 23, 2010On Monday, The New York Times announced that veteran journalist Arthur S. Brisbane will succeed Clark Hoyt this summer as the outlet's public editor. The public editor (or "ombudsman" as referred to at other organizations) serves as the "internal affairs" chief for the newspaper readers, reporting on the 1000 New York Times journalists themselves. Established at The Times in wake of the Jayson Blair scandal in an attempt to address public suspicion of journalists, the public editor position aims to hold the Times to higher journalistic standards. Responding to his appointment to this noteworthy position, Brisbane announced his intention to address a wide array of issues during his three year term, including new media's effect on The Times' journalistic standards. As Jeff Bercovici aptly points out in the Daily Finance, however, there's another story in desperate need of a public editor's attention at The Times - the problematic homogeneity of the Times public editor position itself. Although the public editor is theoretically supposed to represent the diverse population of Times readers, only white, middle-aged men have served as Times public editors to date. With this repeated failure to include diversity in this crucial position, the New York Times fails to accurately reflect the wide representative population served by the position, including women. In response to this criticism, Times Executive Editor Bill Keller stated: "I can assure you that the pool of candidates we considered was large and very diverse, and we gave considerable thought to the issue you raise. In the end, Art stood out as the strongest candidate. And I fully expect him to represent the interests of all readers." I hope so, Mr. Keller. As long as Mr. Brisbane is the "strongest candidate" out there, he will undoubtedly address the issue most in need of his attention as the "readers' advocate." If Mr. Brisbane truly is "someone who has the experience, the skills and the license to study our work and pass impartial judgments on it," as Mr. Keller hopes, then he will pass judgment on his very own position and the Times' detrimental misrepresentation of its readership. Let's see, shall we?

By Mike Pearson, News staff

Ancaster Councillor Lloyd Ferguson said the city will fix the deficiencies in its winter control program following a flurry of complaints to his office.

"Our service was awful," Ferguson acknowledged in reference to a Dec. 26-27 storm that dumped 20 over centimetres of snow in some areas.

A city-wide review of snow clearing presented at a Jan. 16 public works meeting revealed five residential plowing routes which were not cleared 24 hours after the storm. A public works staff report also recommended the city terminate a contract with a non-responsive contractor. Councillors at the public works meeting said that while high priority roads such as the Lincoln Alexander Parkway, and the Red Hill Parkway were immediately cleared in record time, some secondary roads, and side streets were either ignored, or barely touched.

Ferguson said that while the city will review and improve its services, residents can ensure the safe passage of snow clearing equipment by keeping parked cars off residential streets.

Nearly one year after passing a public works resolution to improve snow clearing in residential areas of Ancaster, Ferguson is also looking forward to a staff report at the Feb. 4 public works committee meeting.

Last March, Ferguson passed a motion asking staff to create a new road category recognizing the uniqueness of Ancaster's residential streets. Staff's response to his request is anticipated next month.

Hamilton's snow clearing priorities currently list three designations. Arterial roads such as Wilson Street are ranked as priority one, followed by major residential priority two streets such as Amberly Boulevard and Meadowlands Boulevard. Neighbourhood streets within urban areas are considered priority three. According to current policy, priority three routes are plowed only when snow accumulates above 10 centimetres.

Ferguson hopes to establish a new category that recognizes streets in the urban area of Ancaster that lack an urban cross section.

Ferguson said most of old Ancaster falls into a unique category because the streets have no sidewalks, curbs or storm sewers. He hopes to see Ancaster's residential streets cleared at five centimeters to facilitate pedestrian access.

While he's still awaiting a response to his resolution from city staff, Ferguson expects the city can accommodate the request using its own resources without additional costs to taxpayers.

"When our resources are finished with arterials they can go into the subdivisions," said Ferguson.

At the public works committee earlier this month, city staff acknowledged its snow removal service failed residents. But staff promised improvements to prevent future problems.

"We did let the public down," said Darrell Smith, manager of roads and maintenance. "We have taken steps not to let that happen again."

Bryan Shynal, director of operations, blamed communications gaps, oversight problems, the inability to properly deploy equipment, and employee turnover for the poor service. Since Hamilton had its last serious snow storm two years ago, the city has seen a 66 per cent turnover in staff. The city hired new snow plow operators in 2012, which it does every five years, adding further inexperience to the city's service.

Shynal said some private operators only provided half of the equipment that was required to the city during the storm event.

Hamilton has about 60 contractors, with 38 on call, and another 22 on standby.

laminate flooring
I am laying a pergo type flooring in about a 25 by 15 foot room, in smaller rooms ive never had a problem but with the longer rooms ive seen the boards start to seperate a little bit. I wanted to know it anyone has used and can recommend a glue I can use to help the pieces stay together a little better over time
I use a dab of the glue that's made for laminite floors, but only on the short butt joints.
Most often reasons laminite floors come apart are there not locked in all the way, when laying the pieces in place do not just insert them and try and lay them down all in one motion. Instead work them up and down getting closer to the subfloor each time to work it into the joint.
Someone nails the flooring to the subfloor or hits it when installing the 1/4 round, It can not be attached in any way to the subflooring.
Not enough gap left around the outside edges or around the doorways.
Most laminate flooring does not require glue, and I don't think it would be a good idea to use it on the joints as it would probably be a huge mess of glue to clean up. Maybe consider engineered flooring. It floats just like laminate, yet it looks better, most can be refinished in the future and best of all unlike laminate it is real wood.
I shouldve been more clear, the butt joints are what im talking about, they dont lock into each other as much as they just kind of fit together
Most maufactures suggest using glue as well as a vaper barrier when laminites going over a slab subfloor.
Just do not glue it to the floor, just on the joints.
I think some laminate flooring do not require glue because it would not be a good idea to use it on the joints cause it would result in a huge mess of glue to clean up...
It's water based glue and just wipes right off with a damp rag.

For us home bakers, Stir Up Sunday, is probably one of the best parts of the whole festive season.
Traditionally the day to begin preparing your Christmas cake or pudding, Stir Up Sunday always falls on the last Sunday before advent- which this year is the 20th November.
For many the delicious aromas which float through the house as you begin soaking your fruit mark the beginning of the festivities.
The customs surrounding Stir Up Sunday bring the whole family together as each takes a turn to stir the mixture and make a wish and even add coins- the finding of them on Christmas day traditionally bringing wealth, health and happiness! (So long as you don't manage to swallow the thing!)
Here at Baking Mad we believe the perfect Christmas cake or pudding should be dense, moist and oozing decadence. To achieve this we recommend using only the very best quality ingredients.
For an extra impressive Christmas pud, choose Billington's Molasses Sugar. The ultimate soft brown sugar, Billington's Mollasses is packed full of natural cane molasses making it deep in colour and rich in taste. Perfect!
And for the superior Christmas cake taste why not add Billington's Unrefined Light Muscovado Sugar to your shopping basket. Recommended by Good Housekeeping, this sugar is the world's finest. It's richness and depth of flavour is unmatched.
Happy Stir Up Sunday everyone!

Large Screen iPhones and Macbook Air Retina
One of the most requested features for the iPhone is a larger screen, and it looks like that will happen in 2014, along with a retina display for the Macbook Air. Apple Insider is reporting that supply chain research indicates that both changes are in the works for 2014.
DisplaySearch vice president David Hsieh writes in a post to the company blog, but that is set to change over the next year. Citing supply chain research, Hsieh says that Apple will count on display technology for new product innovation in late 2013 and throughout 2014.
Hsieh also says another long-anticipated iOS device will make an appearance next year, an iPhone with a 4.7-inch 1280x720 display. The DisplaySearch note points to not only one larger-screened iPhone, but two, with the second being a "phablet" device packing a 5.7-inch display outputting at 1920x1080. Those devices, the report predicts, will hits shelves in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Hsieh's report also sees Apple releasing an iPad with a 12.9-inch display outputting at 2732x1536 in 2014. DisplaySearch sees Apple finally bringing Retina display technology to its ultra-lightweight notebook in 2014.More at Apple Insider
I know some Android phone owners who moved to that platform simply because they needed a larger screen phone. So if it's true that Apple is prepping larger screen iPhones, it will be good news for the company's iPhone sales. They will probably see some switchers from Android coming to the iPhone.
I almost bought a Macbook Air a while back, but didn't like the low resolution display. So I opted for a retina Macbook Pro instead, it's way past time for the Macbook Air to get a retina display.
The 12.9 inch iPad should be quite interesting to see when it's released. I can't see a lot of consumers buying it, but it could be big at the enterprise level.
iPad Event Scheduled for October 22
Speaking of the iPad, it seems that Apple will hold its next big event on October 22, according to All Things D.
People familiar with Apple's plans tell AllThingsD that the company will hold its next invitation-only event on Tuesday, October 22. The focal point of the gathering will be the latest updates to the company's iPad line, but the new Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks will likely get some stage time as well, I'm told.
The fifth-generation iPad is expected to feature a thinner, lighter design akin to the iPad mini's, and an improved camera. It will run Apple's new 64-bit A7 chip. The second-generation iPad mini will be upgraded with a retina display and also likely see the A7 incorporated into its innards. It's not clear whether Apple's new iPads will feature the Touch ID fingerprint sensor that recently debuted on the iPhone 5s, though that has been rumored.More at All Things D
Didn't Apple do a similar event last year around the same time? The company tends to be relatively habitual in its behavior, so it won't be surprising if this report is true. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next version of the iPad and iPad mini have to offer since I'm currently using an aging iPad 3.
Qualcomm Walks Back Marketing Gimmick Remarks
It didn't take long for Qualcomm to walk back their ridiculous remarks about Apple's A7 processor in the iPhone being a "marketing gimmick."
"The comments made by Anand Chandrasekher, Qualcomm CMO, about 64-bit computing were inaccurate," a Qualcomm spokesperson said in an email. "The mobile hardware and software ecosystem is already moving in the direction of 64-bit; and, the evolution to 64-bit brings desktop class capabilities and user experiences to mobile, as well as enabling mobile processors and software to run new classes of computing devices."
Last week, Chandrasekher — Qualcomm's senior vice president and chief marketing officer — caused a stir by saying that iPhone 5s buyers would see little in the way of benefits from the device's 64-bit chip.
"I know there's a lot of noise because Apple did [64-bit] on their A7," Chandrasekher said. "I think they are doing a marketing gimmick. There's zero benefit a consumer gets from that."More at Apple Insider
It's not very surprising that Qualcomm is trying to distance themselves from the previous remarks, given how silly those comments were about the A7. The whole affair has damaged Qualcomm's credibility and made the company look rather foolish in the technology media.
I suppose it's better late than never to see Qualcomm join the 64-bit party.
What's your take on all this? Tell me in the comments below.

I had a suture procedure for asian eyelids about two weeks ago. I thought the recovery would only take 7-10 days, but has taken much longer. After two weeks, both eyes are still swollen and one eye looks as swollen as the day of the surgery.
I iced the eye every 15 min for the first 3 days (excluding a few hours at night) and have applied a heat pack to my eyes for a couple of hours each day since day 4. I've been sleeping elevated since the operation and began taking over the counter motrin for the last 3 days.Is there something wrong?

When I was doing my research on this, there were some posters who reported back that their dealer told them "........missing seal(s) in rear fender well." Whether that means the seal around the cable you mentioned (not familiar with that) or it means some larger seal around the major splash panels is anybody's guess.
There is a lot of water flying and splattering all over the place up in a fender well.
I also suspect that the previous owner didn't take a lot of road trips in inclement weather and may have kept the SRX garaged a lot of the time. The reason I say that is that when one is approaching 90 years old they have a tendency to stay at home during the inclement weather rather than fight the elements.

The long shadow of George Bush is being replaced by a new burst of sunshine as leaders of both major parties meet to discuss cooperation and mutual respect for the integrity of one another. After 9/11, George Bush never made a single effort to reach out to his defeated rival, Al Gore, and offer him a role in the fight against terrorism. During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed several Republicans to key Cabinet positions to demonstrate the war was loyally supported by all Americans and there were no Democrats or Republicans in the armed forces, just Americans. Barack Obama met with John McCain to discuss how they can work together in dealing with the financial crisis that confronts the nation. Both said: "It is in this spirit that we had a productive conversation today about the need to launch a new era of reform where we take on government waste and bitter partisanship in Washington in order to restore trust in government, and bring back prosperity and opportunity for every hard-working American family."
The secretive partisan era of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld is at an end. America has to return to an era in which politicians could debate and disagree without questioning the loyalty of their opponents. The nightmare of George Bush is at an end.

I am going to discuss make-up (I promise), but something new has happened in that area and I have some new information some of you may find very exciting. I have decided to write about this next Monday….so please come back for the discussion…I have someone really inspiring to introduce you to!
I could continue to write about products and techniques and foods to either eat or avoid, but there are some other ways I believe help me to feel forever young!! One is my job….I work where I am surrounded by teenagers and some of them become young professionals and stay in my life. Between current and former students and my own adult children and their friends, I spend a lot of my time with our country's youth and, I am happy to say, America has a bright future ahead with them. They have introduced me to so much technology…entertainment…and even fashion trends. I am never surprised at what I learn from them!
Young adults like Mary! She was my go-to girl in high school…I could always depend on her to get a job done. So, it was natural that last summer she would serve as my blog intern to help me get more organized as this site ramped up with attention! This summer she is the stage manager intern for our local, professional production of "The Importance of Being Earnest!" Mary will more than likely do something with theater or entertainment…in high school she was the FINE ARTS QUEEN!
I also met this week with Claudia, a gorgeous young lady who has earned my respect and kudos! She is living in Florence, Italy and working on her Master's Degree in Marketing. She hopes to pursue a fashion career in New York in digital public relations! She speaks multiple languages and has started to sell these beautiful purses online.
But, what impressed me most, is this young world traveler is also a spokesperson and volunteer with the Alzheimer's Association. She was deeply affected when her grandmother in Guatemala was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and she is worried that younger and younger adults are contracting it. So, she hopes to raise much needed funds for research through the WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S.
Finally, I had to show you a few engagement pictures of my son and his stunning fiancé! They were taken for the SAVE THE DATE announcements by photographer, Becca Gamanche and are so cute! Of course, my own children and their loves and their friends keep me young as well!
Surrounding yourself with young energy can really help! Also, meeting new people can as well…so please check out the other bloggers from KATIE'S FAVORITE THINGS BLOG HOP!!!

Suspended/Floating sink installation? How?
1 Attachment(s)
I am not sure what to call it, my master bedroom has a (very small) bathroom in it with a door, and outside of that 3 piece washroom there is a single sink 36-37" wide that is just suspended between 2 walls so it is in an alcove surrounded on 3 sides. There are no legs at all. This is something I see in hotels all the time, and have seen in very few houses so I dont know what you call it. Anywho...
The existing sink is the original 1970s yellow (chipped) ceramic drop in sink on fake marble laminate countertop. I bought a new all-in-one cultured vanity top to fit the space and now need to know how in the world does one install this without a vanity to set it in? My first idea was to get some 2x4s and frame out the space and then set the sink on top. Only thing is the left wall is a shower and pipes behind the wall. I know the existing sink is supported there somehow though. The other 2 walls are thru a linen closet and the bedroom with no electrical or plumbing behind it. Because the shower access panel is directly under this sink I do NOT want to put a full vanity in this spot to impede it.
I asked one of my handy friends and they told me to buy a vanity for the spot and cut off one side to access the shower panel. But the thought of a plumber having to crawl inside a little vanity door in case the bath pipes or drain need maintenance doesnt sit well with me. I like the setup of this sink and use it as my prep/makeup area since its way larger then the 24" sink in the actual bathroom so I really want to keep this area as such.
Does anyone know what this type of suspended/floating sink is truly called? And how to properly install one? I googled those 2 terms for days and couldnt find any info on it.
The attached photo is from move in day. You can't see under it much, but that 3-4 inch laminate apron in the front is the only "vanity" that this sink has. You can also see the edge of the shower access panel on the bottom left as well which is quite large.
If you look under the sink, you will probably find a wood frame screwed to the wall. The top, sink and faucet sit on top of it.
Once the old one is out, install the new one back using the cleats that is in place now.
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks, I wish it were so easy, but underneath has no cleats. Which is why I am trying to figure out how to add my own. Its just a box made of laminate and secured to the walls. Here's an underneath photo.

A bottle of mineral water in his hand and a Royal Television Society satchel thrown over his shoulder, Duncan shuffles downstairs with the rest of the staff as the Channel 4 building is evacuated as part of a security alert in the tense aftermath of the London bombings.
But the broadcasting chief has a story to tell and is in no mood to stop talking. He wants to explain why he is a very different Channel 4 boss to his predecessor Mark Thompson, now the director general of the BBC, and will take the company to places it has never been before.
Outside the building, he steps purposefully through a local street market, politely pausing to allow a homeless man to pass, and heads into an Irish theme pub called Finnegan's Wake, where he reconvenes the interview over glasses of orange juice.
Exactly 12 months into the biggest job of his life, he says: "If you go back a year I have to say I inherited C4 in very good shape. It was doing very well in the short-term ... but I think there were major issues about its longer term direction and strategy and where it was going."
This reference to Thompson's tenure at C4 is a rebuttal of critics who suggested Duncan was too much of a touchy-feely leader, an evangelical Christian who hates wearing suits and lacks the mettle to lead a company with a turnover of £841m in the unforgiving world of commercial broadcasting.
As he defines his vision, talking over the soft-rock of the pub sound system, Duncan is insistent he leads from the front. "I'm an extremely determined person and a very focused person and once I set out my stall to do something I will use everything in my creativity, passion and persuasion to get there. I don't think you have to be horrible to people in the process," he says.
"I really liked it when Channel 4 did The New Ten Commandments. The commandment that had the most votes was 'treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself' and to me there's a lot of truth in that. I think a lot of industries, and broadcast is no different, seem to have a lot of people who fall out with each other, make enemies with each other and in some cases bear grudges - for me life's too short for that. You can be tough, you can make difficult decisions but still get on with people."
The reference to the commandments would suit those who seek to paint him as a figure akin to the trendy vicar caricature of Tony Blair in Private Eye's "parish of St Albion".
Andy Duncan's appointment as chief executive of Channel 4 last year was a major surprise. Industry commentators had predicted that Peter Fincham, then head of Britain's biggest independent producer Talkback Thames and since recruited as controller of BBC1, would get the job. Hasty retractions were made as Channel 4 chairman Luke Johnson handed the plum job to Duncan - virtually an unknown to most of his future colleagues.
Duncan, who will be 43 later this month, is a business graduate who made a reputation marketing margarines at Unilever, building the "I can't believe it's not butter" brand and having the inspiration to align Flora with the London Marathon.
He didn't enter the broadcasting industry until 2001, when he joined the BBC as director of marketing and communications, ending a 17-year relationship with Unilever. Within two years he was on the BBC executive board and before he left the corporation in 2004 he had confounded cynics by turning the digital terrestrial television service Freeview into such a success that it is now in five million homes and is widely regarded as being better placed than Sky to benefit from digital switchover in 2012.
"I feel more at home at Channel 4 than I did either at Unilever or the BBC," he says of his first year at Horseferry Road. "It's a smaller organisation and much more agile and it's whole remit is about being the rebel and taking risks." Such swashbuckling language does not quite fit the image of the trendy vicar.
Neverthless, when Duncan recently delivered a high-profile lecture on the influence of the television industry he was accused in a press headline of portraying Big Brother as a "Christian parable". He seems hurt by this "poor" coverage. "It was an inaccurate headline that then got repeated around the place," he says. "The really big point I was trying to make was that television ... can be a real builder of trust in society and I'm absolutely of that view."
In the speech (part of a series of Faithworks lectures that included a talk by Mr Blair), Mr Duncan actually said: "Big Brother winners are all role models in their way; not only because over past series they've included ethnic minorities, a gay man and a transsexual - as well as an Evangelical Christian - but because in the final analysis viewers choose people whose values they identify with and admire."
In spite of the lewd content of Big Brother 6, which has featured a Zimbabwean nurse performing X-rated Busby Berkeley routines in the house swimming pool, Duncan is a huge fan of the show, contradicting press suggestions, early in his C4 reign, that he disapproved and wanted it given a lower profile. "Personally I really like Big Brother. I always watch it and this year and last year have been absolutely cracking," he says. "I think it is very important for us - it's a very good show and is doing extremely well at the moment."
So there you are, Andy Duncan: Christian, rebel, Big Brother aficionado ... and hardball sports fanatic. "I play five-a-side football pretty much every Monday night at a school near home. I go home see the kids have a bit of tea and then go and play football. In the winter I play centre-forward at hockey, I like to score goals. I play golf and I play tennis," he says. "I'm a very competitive individual, I absolutely like to win. I'm not a John McEnroe in the sense that I will have a tantrum if I don't [win] but for me winning matters and I like to be part of something successful."
The recent London bombings landed Duncan with one of his toughest days as he had to decide on amendments to the schedule to cover the evolving story. He sat watching Sky News and BBC News 24, trying to gauge what had happened and worrying whether staff would be able to reach work and keep the channel on air.
"No one really quite realised what was going on to start with, there were rumours of power surges," he recalls, adding that he would have only cleared the schedules and switched to continuous news in the event of "a national emergency".
"If people want to stay in touch with what's happening every minute you go to the BBC or Sky or you turn on your radio or you have options online. I don't think C4 is a constant coverage broadcaster." Channel 4 News, which Duncan regards as the "jewel in the crown" of the organisation, "handled things sensitively and professionally", he says, producing an extended lunch-time bulletin and a late-evening news special (although ratings were up only marginally).
In the aftermath of the bombs C4 has a major role to play, Duncan believes. This is the broadcaster that screened the controversial Hamburg Cell drama (on the men behind 9/11) and Yasmin (which dramatised potential dangers of the ostracisation of young Muslims in West Yorkshire). "Channel 4 has a very important role to play in terms of trying to understand why these things are going on in the world and why people are doing what they're doing and why they believe what they believe," he says. "One of my favourite programmes this year was the recreation of Guantanamo Bay torture conditions, which I thought was a brilliant programme. We have commissioned another major drama on the Tipton Three [Guantanamo detainees]."
The Channel 4 chief executive, who has two young daughters, still lives in the Croydon area, where he grew up (attending the same school as C4 magician Derren Brown). His home is close to those of his parents and his in-laws and "if I haven't got an evening event I do try to make sure I go home by six so that I see [my daughters] before they go to bed."
As he sits there in the pub, dressed in black T-shirt and jeans and with the kind of long sideburns fashionable with men in their 20s a few years ago, Duncan (expert marketer and business strategist) explains the difference between his approach to Channel 4 and that of his predecessor Mark Thompson (the career broadcaster and distinguished programme maker).
Among the "major issues" he questions about Thompson's approach was the interest in a merger with Five, which Duncan says would have been "a big mistake", creating a purely commercial entity.
The new chief executive has a three-pronged strategy. At its heart is an emphasis on C4's public service credentials. "We've made the lunchtime news permanent, upped the number of Dispatches from 12 in peak [schedule] last year to 28."
He acknowledges the "purple patch" C4 has enjoyed with dramas such as Omagh (the story of the terror attack by the Real IRA), Sex Traffic (the exploitation of Eastern European migrants) and Government Inspector (the death of Dr David Kelly) but thinks the channel can up its output. "Those quarterly event drama pieces ... ideally we will do nine or ten [a year] with a view to them being monthly by 2006. That's a major investment."
Many of C4's recent drama successes were commissioned by John Yorke, who has left for the BBC. "There's a lot of movement between broadcasters and sometimes people have a lifespan in their roles," says Duncan. "I think John is back to where his real heart is with EastEnders and some of the continued drama stuff there. It worked out rather well in a way ... I think we've got a better all-round team now than we've ever had."
The second leg of the strategy is to strengthen C4's portfolio of channels. Next month he will launch new digital channel, More 4, another concept he claims was misconstrued by the previous C4 regime. "The plan when I got here was to have a low-cost, repeats-only channel. I was very keen that it would be a little sister public service channel to Channel 4 as a portfolio approach. It has now got a £33m budget and significant amounts of original programming."
Duncan has also given more muscle to E4, having upped its budget from £40m a year to £60m and made it available on his beloved Freeview. "I think - the situation I inherited a year ago - Channel 4 had got behind the game in multichannel. Channel 4 was in good shape but the question was how to strengthen that and keep the momentum going. In multichannel we were struggling a bit to be honest," he says. "We made a good start a few years ago with E4 and FilmFour going pay but hadn't really done enough in a period when Freeview had been launched and BBC had built a strong portfolio. ITV digital collapsed and then they recovered and launched ITV2 and ITV3 ... and Channel 4 hadn't really done very much. This has been a huge year for us with E4 and More 4 and there will be more plans going beyond that."
The final leg of the strategy, which involves broadcasting via mobile phones and computers, also marks a radical departure from the Thompson regime. Plans to mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme next year will be matched by a major investment in covering the event online.
Duncan believes that "the likes of Google, Yahoo, BT and Microsoft" will increasingly be looking for a stake in broadcasting. "Make no mistake, they want to come and have a slice of our action. It's another reason why people have to be agile."
He says C4 had a "foundation" in new media before he arrived but was "not doing anywhere near enough". "This year we've more or less trebled our budgets and made some very important strategic moves," says Duncan. "Certainly the plan is to have much more emphasis on new media next year." He has hired Ron Henwood, the former head of the sports internet firm Premium TV, who starts this week as C4's director of new business.
For while Duncan believes C4's ratings will earn the channel an upsurge in advertising next year, he knows new revenue streams are vital to the organisation's future health. "The thing we've been doing a lot of work on and which you will see a lot activity over the next six months is in partnerships, potential acquistions, really looking to develop new business streams."
The first of these is a live quiz channel to be piloted on Freeview before the end of the year and provisionally titled Call TV. Duncan says the range of acquistions that C4 is looking at is "potentially quite broad".
"Obviously it needs to be relevant to Channel 4 but we are prepared to consider quite a wide range of things. One possible area is music - it fits with what we do on Channel 4, on E4 and new media," he says. "Another area is how can you leverage our particular strength with younger audiences, can you use some of our strong credentials around new media technology? What can we be doing around mobiles, what can we be doing around broadband development?"
For an organisation that had its fingers burnt investing in the At The Races channel and with the loss-making production arm of FilmFour, it is a potentially dangerous plan. "Life is not risk free and Channel 4 knows more about risk than most organisations. To me it's very similar to the risks we take on our programmes every day of the week. Most of those risks come off but some of them don't. I think for our commercial ventures it's exactly the same. If we have an attitude that says don't take risks then we are dead in the water," he says, noting that, in the past, "Channel 4 has never really made as much progress in new business as it would have wanted to".
Aside from developing its own sources of income, Channel 4 is due a public handout, says Duncan, whose previous warnings that the broadcaster is facing a £100m shortfall do not seem to have been well received by Ofcom, the industry regulator.
"Look at the landscape. The BBC had a billion pounds plus of extra licence fee money put in place five years ago to help build their digital future ... look at ITV, they've had a merger, they're massively reducing their public service obligations, they're paying a substantially lower licence payment. I still think we remain the only broadcaster where there hasn't yet been appropriate policy help but I do think people are much more sympathetic than they were a year ago."
Duncan may say he has helped Channel 4 (which in May announced record post-tax annual profits of £46m) into a winning position but the question remains as to whether he is tough enough to have implemented the kind of cost-cutting implemented by Thompson.
"The answer is yes," he says. "I've restructured business in the past. It's a very unpleasant thing to do but if business performance is very poor then you do have to cut things down and reshape organisations."
He then issues a warning of his own. "I'm absolutely sure that the headcount at Channel 4 cannot go up. Channel 4 has never had so much going on across so many fronts but I'm absolutely determined we do that within the headcount that we've got," he says. "If you are adding new people over here to drive a growth area like new media you've also got to work out where in the organisation that you can either cut back or stop doing things."Reuse content

"Here's a good one," Kasey Bosshardt says, handing me a sharp-edged, 20-pound rock. In the headlights of Bosshardt's pickup ― the only illumination in this dark, dark tunnel ― the rock glitters, salmon pink, crystalline, alluring.
We are 200 feet below the surface of Sevier County, Utah, inside one of the tunnels where Bosshardt mines salt (alongside other employees of Redmond Trading Company's RealSalt division). We are also at one of the centers of a revolution in American cuisine.
Not long ago, salt was salt. You had the blue cylindrical container picturing the little girl and her umbrella, the novelty salt shaker you bought on vacation, and the cut-glass shaker you got as a wedding present. All of these were filled with salt. Just salt.
No more. Now any self-respecting supermarket carries sea salt, kosher salt, salt from Portugal, and salt from France ― all in the sodium chloride family, but mined or harvested and processed or not processed in varying ways.
All this pleases the people at RealSalt, who believe their salt can compete with the world's best. But it made me worry: Suddenly salt, like olive oil and salad greens before it, is something we have to pay attention to.
Think "Utah" and "salt" and you think Great Salt Lake. But RealSalt comes from 200 miles south and eons earlier than the lake ― from a subterranean dome, 155 million years old, composed of 260 million tons of salt. When you tour the Redmond Mine, you're given a hard hat and a W-65 Self Rescuer to clamp to your mouth in case of a fire. "It will filter the air but won't supply oxygen," Bosshardt cautions. You're also given a round metal medallion, numbered, to put in your pocket for easy identification in case … but I decided I didn't want to think about that.
The mine is pitch-black but spacious, with tunnels that stretch 60 feet high and 60 feet wide. At the end of a tunnel, we step out of the pickup and Bosshardt shows how the operation works. First they drill holes into the rock face and push in explosives ― ammonium nitrate. They then insert a fuse into each hole, light it ― and get out fast. You feel the explosion more than hear it, Bosshardt says. "It's like being in an airplane with a bad cold. Vroom vroom vroom."
After the explosion, Bosshardt and the crew use front-end loaders to haul the chunks of salt out of the mine. Other companies would process the salt to remove all nonsodium elements, but RealSalt leaves in the trace minerals. The iron, manganese, potassium, and calcium give the salt "its pretty pink cast," explains RealSalt's director of product development, John Peterson, "and adds to the subtly sweet flavor."
It's heady stuff. Since the salt craze hit, RealSalt has expanded its market to include every state in this country, as well as places like England and Japan. Still, Peterson admits, they have a ways to go. He speaks enviously of Japan, where "in high-end restaurants, they'll bring you a platter with an array of different salts."
A little overwhelmed by salt facts and burdened by my 20-pound salt crystal, I get out of the mine and call someone who knows everything about food: my longtime friend Jerry Anne DiVecchio, Sunset's former Food editor.
"I don't even keep regular table salt around anymore," she says. "I have so many different kinds." Salt, she continues, "truly alters how food tastes. It's a powerful component. The salt of the earth, after all."
So it is decided. Salt is something I have to pay attention to. Back at home in my kitchen, my wife and son watching curiously, I take a knife and run it over my glittering salmon-colored crystal. Salt flakes float down onto the palm of my hand and I raise it to taste them. The flavor is elemental, luxurious, earthy; not a revelation, but a pleasant surprise. And I know it will be good on popcorn.
Info: RealSalt (from $3.59 for a 9-oz. shaker; 800/367-7258)

Stacey Vanek-Smith: Some Olympic sponsors are not feeling like winners. Adidas, McDonalds and Samsung are among those who shelled out millions to showcase their brands on the Olympic green. That's usually the main gathering point at the games. Companies were expecting around 200,000 visitors a day, but China's restricting the crowds on the green and pretty much only letting ticket holders in. Chinese businesses are wondering where the people are, too, as Jamila Trindle reports.
Jamila Trindle: A huge influx of foreign tourists was expected in Beijing hotels and restaurants.
Paul Moreno: You'll also find that if you look at some of the stadiums, you'd be surprised there are a lot of empty seats, even for sort of good matches.
Paul Moreno runs Wild China, a tour company for upscale foreigners. He says his average customer is staying for only four days and three nights. So far, he's already seen nearly a 20 percent no-show rate for guests, but he's hoping that will improve as the games move on to finals and marquee events like track and field.
Moreno: I think we're in the early days in the preliminaries, and you know, maybe next week, you might see an influx.
Even if there is an influx, it probably won't be enough to fill all the hotels and restaurants. That's lead to some disappointment, especially since tourism officials predicted hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors.
Du Jiang is with China's Tourism Administration:
Du Jiang (voice of interpreter): We're expecting 400,000 to 500,000 foreign visitors and 20,000 journalists. Together with domestic tourists, we expect about 1 million visitors in Beijing.
That's the government estimate, but business owners say they aren't seeing those numbers.
Cho Chong Gee owns three restaurants and a bar in Beijing. He was planning to open a boutique hotel right before the Olympics, but has decided to put that off. He says competition is fierce.
Cho Chong Gee: If you go around town, for one thing, you see there's so many hotels on the street now: big, small, five star, two star. So it's really a lot.
Cho saw a slower than expected summer leading up to the Olympics, so he's trying to keep his expectations realistic.
Chong Gee: It will be better than normal, but I guess we may have much too high expectation, or may not be real.
And those high expectations may lead to Olympic-sized disappointment for Chinese businesses.
In Beijing, I'm Jamila Trindle for Marketplace.

About Us
On October 31, 1967, Bishop Cletus O'Donnell appointed Father Thomas Campion to start some kind of a program and work "for the handicapped".
At the time, Father Campion was Associate Pastor of St. James Parish, Madison; Diocesean Director of the Catholic Youth Organization (C.Y.O.) and Chaplain of Madison General Hospital.
The first work of the yet unnamed organization was the television Mass. Through the generosity of Mrs. Elizabeth Murphy, then owner of WISC-TV, Channel 3 in Madison, the first television Mass was shown on the first Sunday of Advent in 1967. After Mrs. Murphy's death, her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Burns choose to continue their family's loyal and generous tradition of the television Mass. Over the years, it has aired at different times and was originally 45 minutes in length.
It is a lasting tribute to the generosity of the Morgan-Burns family and the entire staff and management of WISC-TV, both past and present, that the television Mass continues to air every Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m.
The next visible sign of this new program was the first "day for the handicapped" on January 6, 1968 held at Holy Name Seminary which was titled "Little Christmas with the Bishop". Sixty handicapped persons attended, which at the time was considered overwhelming because of the large number of handicapped gathered in one place.
The Apostolate to the Handicapped received its name when a contest was held to name the new organization. Bernadette Wagner of Sun Prairie is credited with winning the contest and the idea for the name.
In 1971, Father Campion was transferred to be Chaplain at St. Clare Hospital in Monroe, and with the good foundation that had been established at St. James in Madison, the Apostolate to the Handicapped office also moved to Monroe, Wisconsin.
Msgr. Larry Bakke was appointed Director of The Apostolate to the Handicapped after the death of Msgr. Campion im 2011. Msgr. Bakke is also Pastor of St. Clare of Assisi Parish, Monroe.
The Apostolate to the Handicapped was and is currently funded totally on volunteer contributions as a living testimony of the charity of people who show they really care.
