Would people in Astoria and LIC be interested in a seminar or one on one sessions to answer questions about unemployment, underemployment, resume help, and/or job searching? I have someone interested in helping, all we need to do is figure out how many people would be interested in a weekly event. Just respond on here! I saw someone posted a similar advertisement for this, but I was hoping to set something up a little more professionally and aimed at our community specifically. Thanks for the input!

A UNIQUE project providing free services to local unemployed people is being offered by Kendal College.
It is running a programme called JobWorks to increase the employability and skills of people – with some stunning results.
It has just been named as one of the top three providers of getting short-term unemployed people back into work in the North West.
JobWorks is aimed at anyone from 18 years upwards who has been unemployed for six months, at risk of redundancy or newly redundant.
The catchment area for eligibility goes as far Penrith in the north to Lancaster in the south and as far apart as Grasmere and Barrow.
In particular, it focuses on refreshing CVs as well as directing people towards immediate short courses or qualifications that can quickly improve their immediate job chances.
Taking many referrals from Kendal Job Centre, it helped 174 people in the last year and 50 per cent have ended up back in work.
The programme is headed by Mark Wadsworth, who is based at the college as the JobWorks Coordinator.
Mr Wadsworth explained: "It is not about trying to turn someone into a student. We are trying to improve their CVs and employability. We see about 15 to 20 new faces every week though referrals and 10 to 15 go on to do something with us while 70 to 80 per cent come and get help and support."
Typical courses include basic IT, English and Maths Entry 1 to Level 2, Employability Skills courses for the longer-term unemployed, as well as first aid, food hygiene, and health safety.
People can choose to do entry level one courses – the first step on the educational ladder – all the way through to foundation degrees to help boost their CVs.
Mr Wadsworth explained that many people hinder their jobs chances by stating 'what they have done' on CVs - not what they've got."
He also said the programme was particularly helpful to those out-of-work after many years with the same company or those who had not developed their qualifications since school or those who had lots of experience but no up-to-date exams.
The programme also runs a WorkClub every Tuesday between 12-5pm at The Lodge on Station Road, Kendal – situated at the front of Kendal Museum opposite Kendal Railway Station.
For more information, email email@example.com go to www.kendal.ac.uk/jobworks or www.facebook.com/jobworks or call 07738 944387.

"From there he drops a bomb that puts a new spin on the whole business: the signifier (written/spoken sound-image) is arbitrary."
This is an absolutely idiotic sentence. Aside from rare cases of onomatopoeia, no reasonable person has ever thought words were anything but arbitrary. The ancient Greeks certainly knew it; Even Aristotle marked the distinction between symbols and their signs, as did John Locke who wrote:
" There is no natural connection between particular
sounds and particular ideas (if there were, there would be
only one human language)"
Neither philosopher felt he was making some dramatic discovery in noting these things, and only bombastic grandstanding would attempt to turn common sense into deep profundity. Nor am I unconsciously arrogating the hard-won truths of earlier thinkers – the fact itself has always been manifest, since we first learned to abstract language into syllabaries.
I have not read Saussure, and am at any rate not be qualified to judge his contributions to the theory of language. But the patronizing tone of this writer, snipping off banalities like they were cosmic insights, is a painful thing to read.

Dr. Goodword wrote:
• vape •
Pronunciation: vayp • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: To smoke an electronic cigarette, a battery-powered vaporizer that simulates tobacco smoke by producing a vapor (outside the US: vapour), containing just the nicotine of cigarettes.
Notes: I don't usually promote nonce words, words that may be impermanent. I decided to introduce this word because it appeared in the blog of The Economist, one of my favorite magazines. It comes with the usual cast of relatives accompanying English words: vaper, vapes, vaped, and vaping.
In Play: Since the vapor produced by e-cigarettes contains only nicotine and no other harmful chemicals (e.g. tars), vapers have an advantage over smokers: "Oh, you don't have to go outside to vape." The disadvantages to vaping are minor: "All you vapers just add to the humidity!"
Word History: Today's Good Word came from Anglo-French vapour (still spelled with the U outside the US), Modern French vapeur. All of these go back to Latin vapor "steam, heat". Exactly how vapor came to be in Latin has us stumped. The Proto-Indo-European had a word kwep-"smoke, cook". However, the Greek word for "smoke" was kapnos; Greek lost the W, but Lithuanian retained it, converting it to V in kvapas "smell, wind, whiff". These words have meanings very close to "vapor", and if we could explain the loss of the initial K, we would have the missing link to PIE kwep-, since W before a vowel would have become V in Latin, too. (Vaper or not, we owe Dwaine Byrd a debt of gratitude for recommending today's Good Word.)

8 Decadent Hot Chocolate Upgrades
Nothing says winter quite like a warm, savory mug of creamy hot chocolate. But if you thought the standard chocolaty concoction, topped with a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg was as good as it gets, I'm here to let you know it gets much, much better.
Nothing says winter quite like a warm, savory mug of creamy hot chocolate. But if you thought the standard chocolaty concoction, topped with a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg was as good as it gets, I'm here to let you know it gets much, much better.
Hot chocolate has gotten some delicious upgrades over the years, I just had to share some of the most decadent recipes. Much like a full-blown dessert, these hot chocolate recipes include everything I love to eat with chocolate -- caramel, coconut, cinnamon and even red velvet. One of these recipes can actually be made in a slow cooker, which pretty much blew my mind.
When you're planning on making a batch of hot chocolate for your kiddos, your sweetie or just to warm up after a chilly outing, try making one of these yummy concoctions. It's pretty much dessert in a glass.
More of our Favorite Hot Beverage Finds:
Chocolate Cherry Decadence Single-Serve Coffee from Harry & David
Chuao Gourmet Drinking Chocolate Gift Set from 1-800 Baskets
Vanilla Buttercream Coffee from Fannie May
Crockpot Coconut Hot Chocolate
What if I told you you could make a hot chocolate that tasted just like a Girl Scout Samoa cookie, that you could make entirely in your slow cooker? It's a reality, thanks to the recipe on How Sweet it Is, and they look delicious.
Homemade White Hot Chocolate
White white chocolate recipe it white hot, and a creamy twist on the comfort food classic. Plus, it's a pretty winter white color that looks even better when topped with whipped cream. Get the recipe on Gimme Some Oven.
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
Salted caramel is my favorite chocolate companion, so it's no surprise it tastes just as good in a batch of hot chocolate. This recipe from Savory Sweet Life shows you how to mix up this delicious drink using homemade caramel.
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
Who doesn't love red velvet cupcakes? This hot chocolate recipe found on A Beautiful Mess incorporates the delicious taste of red velvet into one decadent warm drink.
Spiked Nutella Hot Chocolate
Nutella is the ultimate indulgence, which is why we love this yummy hazelnut hot chocolate from Chow that uses Nutella, hazelnut liqueur and brandy.
Frozen Hot Chocolate
As much as we love a warm mug of steamy hot chocolate, this frozen hot chocolate recipe from Six Sister Stuff is an unconventional twist on the delicious treat. The dessert was made famous at NYC romantic spot Serendipity, and can be recreated in your own kitchen.
Cinnamon Hot Chocolate
This recipe featured on Betty Crocker has an added kick with a touch of cinnamon. It's a delicious spin without going too over-the-top.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Peppermint Patties, Thin Mint cookies, Grasshoppers... no matter what it is, I love peppermint and chocolate together. So I have a feeling this delicious Peppermint Hot Chocolate recipe from Chowis going to be a delicious minty treat.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is turning to TV commercials to try to bring wayward Catholics back into the fold.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://bit.ly/QGcqvC ) reports that the church plans to air more than 1,700 TV commercials in Cincinnati, Dayton and Lima from Dec. 14 to Jan. 20. The media blitz is expected to reach millions of viewers in the 19-county archdiocese.
At least eight different ads will run. They will feature testimonials from Catholics who returned to the faith and others that focus on the church's history and accomplishments.
The so-called "evangomercials," are produced by Catholics Come Home, an Atlanta-based nonprofit dedicated to evangelizing for the faith. The group has produced similar campaigns for 33 dioceses and says they boost Mass attendance by an average of 10 percent.

A HAIRDRESSERS in Highcliffe has been raided by thieves just weeks after it opened.
Terry Matthews, his brother Luke and soon-to-be sister-in-law Nicola Donnison opened Muir-Chapman Hairdressing in Lymington Road on December 12.
On Saturday morning, the traders discovered that a large paving stone had been thrown through a panel in the front door, with high-end hair care products and a computer stolen from inside.
CCTV from outside of the premises has been handed to police officers, who are investigating.
Mr Matthews said: "It was awful to come in to work and see what had happened.
"We've only been in business since December, and for someone to put a paving slab through the door and burgle us wasn't nice at all. They've taken the best products we stock and the computer, slashed the phone lines and damaged our broadband connection."
But he said the support from other traders had been "almost overwhelming".
"We are so grateful to everyone who wanted to help," he said.
"The Highcliffe business community have been superb to us. Staff at the Beauty Spot salon offered us their chairs so we could keep working, Tulips cafe gave us free tea and coffee all day, and Richard and Helen from Comojo gift shop were incredibly supportive. We couldn't have asked for better."
And he said the experience hadn't put them off the area.
"We're taking it as a compliment," he said.
"We've obviously ruffled a few feathers or upset someone along the way. Only the best stock was taken, so it seems like the thief knew what they were looking for."
He added: "Everyone has been disgusted by it.
"We're just hoping the person responsible gets caught soon."
Dorset Police confirmed that officers were investigating.

Human Misery of Hurricane Sandy Not Caused by Energy Policy
11/02/2012 13 Comments
Russ Steele
One of my regular reads every day is Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog, he is a moderate voice in the climate change debate. He had an insightful look at the impact of Sandy in the Wall Street Journal. Hurricanes and Human Choice
Sandy was terrible, but we're currently in a relative hurricane 'drought. Connecting energy policy and disasters makes little scientific sense.
Hurricane Sandy left in its path some impressive statistics. Its central pressure was the lowest ever recorded for a storm north of North Carolina, breaking a record set by the devastating "Long Island Express" hurricane of 1938. Along the East Coast, Sandy led to more than 50 deaths, left millions without power and caused an estimated $20 billion or more in damage.
But to call Sandy a harbinger of a "new normal," in which unprecedented weather events cause unprecedented destruction, would be wrong. This historic storm should remind us that planet Earth is a dangerous place, where extreme events are commonplace and disasters are to be expected. In the proper context, Sandy is less an example of how bad things can get than a reminder that they could be much worse.
In studying hurricanes, we can make rough comparisons over time by adjusting past losses to account for inflation and the growth of coastal communities. If Sandy causes $20 billion in damage (in 2012 dollars), it would rank as the 17th most damaging hurricane or tropical storm (out of 242) to hit the U.S. since 1900—a significant event, but not close to the top 10. The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 tops the list (according to estimates by the catastrophe-insurance provider ICAT), as it would cause $180 billion in damage if it were to strike today. Hurricane Katrina ranks fourth at $85 billion.
To put things into even starker perspective, consider that from August 1954 through August 1955, the East Coast saw three different storms make landfall—Carol, Hazel and Diane—that in 2012 each would have caused about twice as much damage as Sandy.
Here is a graph from his blog.
The graph above shows normalized US hurricane damage, based on data from ICAT, which applies an extension to the methodology of Pielke et al. 2008. The 2012 estimate for Sandy comes from Moody's, and is an estimate. The red line represents a linear best fit to the data — it is flat
So there your have it! Sandy is not the new normal, regardless of what the lame steam press has to say, you now have the facts.
H/T to a regular reader for the WSJ article.

One of these days, I am going to have more time on my hands that I can post my cooks in a timely basis but just ain't happening right now. Rest assured that all of these cooks were aided by all of you on the board and I do appreciate it.
Although it gets a bad rap, there are some interesting recipes in the Big Green Egg Cookbook, especially when I got it on Amazon for like 15 bucks on sale. I decided to make the Chili-Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Blackberry Sauce. I changed it to Cherry sauce since that was the preserves I had on hand. We served it up with some Hasselback potatoes although we made those inside. It was excellent although I would reduce the sauce more as it was a little thin. Here are some pics:
Pork coming off of the Egg
It was pouring while I was cooking so I had to improvise
Final plate with Hasselback potatoes and Green Beans
Over Labor Day, cooked a variety of things but unfortunately didn't get pics of everything. In addition to the below, we did scallops on the salt block and also Steven Raichlen's Chicken under a Brick. So sorry I didn't get the pictures but I swear, it happened.
First try at ABTs on the Egg. Stuffed with Cream Cheese, garlic, cilantro and lime juice. So good.
Also made a chocolate chip cookie in my Cast Iron Skillet cooked on the Egg. Actually, the first Baking I have done. I got the recipe from a post by Griffin with the recipe on his blog. Here is the link. http://griffinsgrub.wordpress.com/2012/ ... ip-cookie/
It was really good and everyone loved it.
Cookie Dough before cooking
And the finished product coming off
Good stuff and I do promise I will try and be more current on my posts.

text: Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ:JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle company, announced today the results of the company's summer hiring campaign. In January, 2012 at a White House Summer Jobs+ event, Jamba® committed to hiring 2,500 young people in support of the Obama Administration's call for more private sector participation in summer youth employment. In response to this call, Jamba Juice® hosted a National Hiring Day in more than 70 stores across the country, resulting in the hiring of nearly 6,000 team members for the May through September summer season. This employment number represents an increase of more than double that of the 2,500 jobs pledged by the Company in January 2012. "I want to thank the team across the Jamba system for their hard work and committed efforts in making our National Jamba Jobs Day and Summer Jobs+ participation a huge success," said James D. White, Chairman, President, and CEO, Jamba Juice Company. "We pride ourselves in attracting and retaining enthusiastic and dedicated team members and were especially impressed with the quality of the candidates that joined us this season. I am pleased that our continued growth allowed us to retain over 10 percent of those new hires for ongoing employment with Jamba." Beyond the Company's summer employment campaign, and at the urging of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Jamba established public/private partnerships with the San Francisco-based Treasure Island Job Corps Culinary Arts Center, as well as the Bay Area chapter of the United Way, to develop career enhancement internship programs at the company's global headquarters in Emeryville, CA. Job Corps interns receive first-hand culinary experience working on the creation of innovative new menu concepts while working side-by-side with Jamba's product innovation team. Interns also gain valuable skills in teamwork, project management, and communication as they work on critical company projects led by Jamba executives and senior managers.

Commentards, er, I mean, esteemed commenters (sorry, hang over of TheRegister.co.uk forums, which are somewhat more brutal) - do you have any experience of these devices, and can you recommend me a device that can handle multiple 2+MP streams and a few sub-megapixel streams that won't crap itself after three months?

bobbozzo - Sunday, July 28, 2013 - linkHi, most of the off the shelf stuff I've seen is sub-megapixel, although I haven't looked in a while.
This is the first off the shelf system I've seen with megapixel IP cams.
I know you said you want off the shelf, but I was pretty happy with my ZoneMinder setup, with a megapixel IP cam and a couple of SD cams.
I dismantled it when I moved and haven't gotten around to setting it up again.
We have a Swann system at work; cams are Coax, not IP, and resolution and quality is SD. It works OK, but I don't really think they're worth the money.
Many of the megapixel IP cams are junk though.
Axis has a good reputation, but I haven't seen one in action. Reply
Ammaross - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkYou're correct, Axis cameras have worked great for me (have mainly used their older models though). And as for multi-megapixel, you're looking more into the "homebrew" market of installing software such as Video Insight or the Pelco suite on a Windows server (or go the inexpensive route and use ZoneMinder on Linux [which is what I did. Worked great, except my first attempt was underpowered...]). Reply

Lord 666 - Friday, July 26, 2013 - linkA little off-topic, but why go enterprise HDD when a single 1TB of EVO SSD is $650. I want to pick up a security system and lock the recording unit in my safe. Power is not that much an issue versus heat and noise. Reply
Egg - Friday, July 26, 2013 - linkI'm a little confused - how do you get networking into the safe? Do you drill a hole in the safe, or do you use wireless that's likely to drop out? Reply
Lord 666 - Friday, July 26, 2013 - linkRifle-sized gun safes are usually pre-drilled for floor post anchoring and dehumidifiers. Route the 12/2 wire along with cat5 through one or two of those holes. Now you have a hardened security system that is both tamper and fire resistant. Reply
Dentons - Saturday, July 27, 2013 - linkUnless your system is entirely solid state and / or designed for zero airflow, you may experience extreme heat related reliability issues by placing it inside a safe.
Almost every system is designed with some level of air flow in mind. If you're going to do this, you'd want to pull and push air though the system. Probably with ducts to force air past the system. Reply
bobbozzo - Sunday, July 28, 2013 - linkI agree about the heat problem, but adding ducts to a safe will ruin it's fire-worthy-ness.
A better idea would probably be to get a locking rack-mount cabinet, and bolt it to the floor or a wall stud. Reply
Duckhunt2 - Sunday, February 16, 2014 - linkNo you are all wrong. You bolt a heat sink with fins onto the gun safe and get some thermal grease. You do not have to drill right through the skin. Just a 1\4inch and tap it and put in bolts to hold the heat sink. Make sure it is making as much contact as possible.
Then internally you have to cut/machine some steel to make a good contact for the heat sink on the motheboard to make contact with the skin of the gunsafe. It is alot of mucking around. It has been done here in the USA many years ago. USA USA. American know-how exported around the world. Reply
cmart - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkI'm no physicist, but in practice if you cool the outside of a safe (or any hollow container) you essentially cool the inside. If the safe -- think of it as a large heat sink -- is in a cool room, the interior should stay reasonably cool with only one device running in it. Reply
Dentons - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkMost modern computer systems are designed to be cooled by convection. This is why placing a computer in a sealed cabinet can cause it to overheat, even when the outer cabinet is in an otherwise cool environment.
What would happen if you put a small computer in a large insulated cooler? Even if the computer only gave off a small amount of heat, it would continually produce ever more heat. Eventually, the inside temperature of the cooler would reach a very high temperature, even if the cooler were located inside a cool room.
It's no different with a safe. A large metal safe with fire insulation is little different from an insulated cooler. A few bolt holes in the bottom would be very unlikely to provide adequate convection currents.
There are some systems designed for use without air cooling, but they are generally expensive industrial systems. There are a few ways this might be successfully accomplished. One is by the installation of fans and cooling ducts, but such might reduce the fire resistance. Another might be to attach heat pipes directly from the system's CPU to the wall of the safe. Either could be finicky and perhaps unreliable.
Placing any consumer level system within an unventilated safe is probably a bad idea. Reply
Duckhunt2 - Sunday, February 16, 2014 - linkAgain, you can put a temperature control on the outside and it could turn off the power to the computer and sound an alarm. There are so many possibilities. There are computers in strong boxes and all these things written about have been overcome. Some of the longest living computers are built inside strong boxes . Reply

DocNo - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAnd if you haven't heard of them, be sure to check out Ubiquity's AirVision cameras. The system isn't perfect, has some gaps (no IR/nightvision, outdoor camera is wimpy, limited number of cameras) but if your needs are covered by their existing cameras the NVR software they provide is pretty nice considering it's free with the cameras. And if you have the need for a handful of AP's, their UniFi managed wifi system is also really hard to beat for the price. Again, not perfect but amazing for the price. Reply

Mincemeat Walnut Pie Recipe
Here's a tasty twist on the more traditional mincemeat pie. This one's sweeter, creamier, easier to make and so yummy!

- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup prepared mincemeat
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1. Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; flute edges. Line pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 350°.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Stir in the eggs, butter, mincemeat and walnuts until blended. Pour into crust.
- 3. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.

TOAW IV includes a suite of new naval features that should prove to be a good first step towards a full naval warfare model.
Naval Combat: To recap, naval combat in TOAW had been very crudely modeled. Ships were literally treated as if they were a single piece of equipment – like a single squad. Any AP hit killed them. Their defense strengths weren't used in that determination, by the way. This surprising discovery meant that it was as easy to sink a Battleship as it was to sink a Destroyer. AP strengths were combined for hit determination – making a bunch of DDs as powerful as BBs. Whether hit ships were permanently destroyed or just sent to the "On Hand" pool bizarrely depended upon a check against their proficiency. Fleet units could "evaporate" like a land unit that had lost cohesion. Embarked units employed their various strengths when attacked. The whole thing had to be overhauled if there was to

Victoria Beckham Fall 2014
That sound you're hearing? That would be Victoria Beckham having the last laugh. As one who has assiduously followed (and supported) her career trajectory as she switched from global popette superstar to world-conquering designer, along the way defying all those who ever doubted her new career choice, it's gratifying to see Beckham deliver season after season. Brand Victoria Beckham has become rather brilliant at giving us clothes able to do that trickiest of things, which is this: combining conceptual design and a cool attitude, yet are always supremely wearable. Clothes that are not only on the money, but look the money—I don't know why, but I always have this image of her in my head obsessing about the quality and finish on every single little last thing. It always looks like she cares. (See those neatly proportioned and totally fabulous camera bags, apparently made from the most expensive nappa leather ever.)
And so to this coming fall's offerings, which certainly exude a beautifully executed, thoughtful elegance without ever getting (too) tricky, variously riffing on everything from blown-up abstract blooms (on a soft ivory top worn with matching masculine trousers), nineties-era Japanese pleating (in black, to the floor, and over pants and pointy flats), and the brilliant use of a hefty metal chain that might provide the gleaming fastening on an otherwise starkly minimal coat, or wound around the waistline of a floor-length plissé evening dresses, making any further adornment kind of redundant. Like others this season thus far (Joseph Altuzarra, for instance), Beckham is feeling for a longer, leaner line that cuts loose every now and then; take a look at the gorgeous scarlet dress with an asymmetric Asiatic neckline, or the perfection of a black sleeveless dress threaded with that chain motif above the left hip. And, for someone who is no stranger to having to stand on the red carpet, Beckham offered a ton of other interesting ways to dress for evening, with hip-length tops worked with floral-esque motifs over trousers and still more flats, or a rather fabulous stiletto pump that conceals the foot to a degree that hasn't been seen since the days of the eighties and Maud Frizon.

text: Editor's Note: This article was originally published on Real Money on Nov. 5. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money.Maybe it was the storm. Maybe it is the election. Whatever, we have some stellar news that's just being processed incorrectly by the market or is only just now getting its due. The most obvious of these is Disney's (DIS) purchase of Lucasfilms for $4 billion. I thought this was perhaps the greatest stroke of genius yet for CEO Bob Iger and that includes the brilliant Marvel Entertainment buy a few years back. Immediately Disney's stock got hit because the deal wasn't accretive. Contrast that with the immediately accretive purchase of Warnaco by PVH (PVH), which caused PVH to go to $113 from $91. Now, I am not denigrating the market's reaction to the PVH deal, especially considering that PVH made fortunes when it bought Tommy Hilfiger not that long ago. But people are totally overlooking what Disney can do with Lucasfilms. First, the franchise can produce multiple films that sell worldwide. Remember, it is incredibly easy to do a line extension and spinoffs, particularly with Star Wars, but to create one from scratch, a la John Carter, is fraught with difficulty. Second, consider how much hay Iger's made with his purchase of Pixar, again, something that was originally perceived as an overpay as Lucasfilms was regarded just last week. Any reader of Walter Isaacson's amazing biography of Steve Jobs knows the clarity of vision both Iger and Jobs possessed about what could be done with Pixar. Iger understood that Pixar was capable of producing hit after hit including many that were on the drawing board when Disney bought the company. Third, I recall when Disney bought Marvel and people, again, thought that that Iger paid too much. It only took a couple of movies to make it back and The Avengers to hit it out of the park, Again, though, Disney's only scratched the surface of the stable of characters Marvel has. But it is the back half that has me even more intrigued. I was always looking for a new excuse to go to Disney because I loved taking my kids there. New rides always drove the trips. Now with this acquisition, you don't just get a new ride, you get a whole adjunct theme park with huge merchandising possibilities.

A PACKED schedule of events will mark the re-opening of Bridgwater Library this week.
The facility, which was closed since early December, opened its doors again this morning (January 14) after refurbishment and will see library tours throughout the day, a performance by a choir, job club and poetry readings by children from Bridgwater College Academy.
Many of the fun activities taking place this week will continue on a regular basis. Weekly events include story times for children and job clubs to help the unemployed find work. Monthly activities include adult reading groups, a children's craft club, an ancestry club and 'knit and natter' sessions.
David Hall, Somerset County Council's cabinet member for Library Services, said: "The many regular activities are a real asset for the local community, from fun things like an ancestry club and jewellery, to really practical support for people looking for work and adults improving their reading skills."
Part of the refurbishments also included the introduction of self-service technology. Staff will help library users issue and return books, DVDs and other materials for themselves using touch-screen kiosks. A library membership card and PIN (Personal Identification Number) is needed to use the kiosks.
For more information about events during the reopening week and beyond, call in at the library and ask a staff member or visit www.somerset.gov.uk/libraries.

Measuring the performance of a corporate social media event can be a pretty tough job to tackle, but it is something that is essential to do. Knowing where to start and what to measure can be a bit of a challenge. At Adobe, we track and measure all of our social media initiatives/campaigns and have developed a categorical system for selecting and reporting on metrics; this helps us stay consistent and (relatively) sane.
- Volume metrics are what we consider to be the low hanging fruit; metrics that can be easily collected using automated tools. Generally consisting of only numbers, these metrics don't always contain very actionable insights; but they often provide the wow-factor that comes with large numbers
- Conversational metrics get into the deeper analysis of what is being said and generally have to be pulled manually
- Conversion metrics tie social activities directly to web site activities and the bottom line. More specialized tools are needed for these metrics
For this post, I'll go over the volume metrics and how we used them to report on a recent product launch.
We are seeing the socialization of corporate communications play an increasingly greater role in many product launches. Ford shook up the auto industry when it decided to reveal the 2011 Ford Explorer on Facebook rather than at an auto show, which is traditionally the place to launch new car models. Just a few months ago, Cadbury revealed a new candy bar using Google+ as the primary communication driver. Adobe is no different and social media played a big role in our launch of Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud. For a large campaign like this one, we will include all three categories in our reporting. However, depending on the size, type, and goals of other campaigns, we often choose to omit one or two.
With any of the categories, the first step is to make sure you know what you are measuring; this should be decided in part by defining your business objectives and considering who your audience for the report will be. We have found that engagement metrics are very useful for social practitioners to drive the day to day strategy, but executives and other stakeholders are often more interested in volume and conversational metrics that give a holistic view of all the social efforts. For our volume metrics for this campaign, we looked at total number of posts in the conversation, media mix (the platforms on which the conversation is taking place), and the growth of our social media fan base.
As I mentioned above, the volume metrics are those that can be done easily and automatically with most tools. These are good metrics to use for anyone just starting out in the field or with teams that don't have a lot of resources. Regardless of the tool being used, I have found it best to export the data into Microsoft Excel which enables me to reformat it into charts (some of which I included) that easily fit into our reports. The nature of these metrics also allows for easy comparison with past campaigns or other data, giving a quick reference point for the performance of a campaign. On the volume chart below, I was able to compare the overall Creative Suite conversation (which typically receives 15K-30K posts a day) to the conversation specifically about the launch; a spike driven by the launch activity is clearly visible.
Thanks to these "low-hanging fruit" metrics, we were easily able to frame the success of the social media efforts for the Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud launch in terms of awareness and buzz. We demonstrated that the social conversation around the launch was significant and pushed the normal Creative Suite conversation to a new high. We were also able to show how many new people we added to our social media fan base. Stay tuned: in following posts, I'll go into the conversational and conversion metrics that we also used to measure this campaign.

My job! I've been blogging since 2005 and quit my FT job in 2007 to stay home with our daughter and blog. Since then I have expanded to two sites and paid writing on other blogs/websites. I make money from it but not a ton and it pays for small things in our life but through reviews and some bigger jobs we've gone many places and events, reviewed cars and taken vacations. It's not typical but totally reinforces that while the income isn't standard or always there it is a job that he thinks is really cool and loves to tell people about.
Gosh, I haven't even told him! In fact, I haven't told anyone of my family or friends about it. Maybe it's insecurity but I'm not ready.
I also have pretty much no followers so that doesn't help. Please check out my blog and comment or tell me how to improve my blog.
Thank you!
A fantastic outlet for me. He loves to play in all of the review things we receive, and laughs at the random things I write. I've tried to get him to guest post, but no luck yet!
a great way to network and meet new people (he owns his own web design company so totally gets it!).
My husband is an equal partner in my website. He appreciates what I do and sometimes contribute to it as well.
Cool, because he blogs too.
A waste of time that should be spent doing something productive like...cleaning
My other business!
It's great!
Interesting. He reads my blog as well as a few others. I think he likes to know what I'm thinking when I sometimes don't express it.
Boring, unless it's related to sports. :| lol
A pastime for me. Me, errr, ignoring the babies :)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio wildlife officials want to know if the discovery of a bobcat's remains along a Columbus area road is a sign that the animal's comeback is bringing the cats into urban areas.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/A7jGEK ) the up to 20-pound female bobcat found dead on Wednesday had apparently been struck and killed by a car.
An Ohio Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman says the contents of the animal's stomach will be examined. What it was eating will help determine whether it was living in the wild or was someone's pet.
Bobcats are endangered, and their Ohio population is estimated at 1,000. State officials believe they're concentrated in rural southern Ohio.

TWO prolific Black Country burglars who carried out a month-long crime spree have been given lengthy jail sentences.
Mark Toogood, of Stourbridge Road, Dudley, and Matthew Brookes, of Field Road, Princes End, Tipton, targeted a number of homes, including properties in Belbroughton and Clent, that they thought would have valuables to steal and the occupants would be out in the daytime.
Toogood was jailed for nine years and Brookes for seven-and-a-half years as Judge Robert Juckes told them: "The community is due a rest from your activities."
Both admitted a single charge of conspiracy to commit burglary, covering a total of 19 raids in December 2012 and January 2013.
"It is difficult to calculate the sum total of misery you must have caused to the people whose houses you broke into," the judge told them at Worcester Crown Court. "Their homes have been desecrated by evil-minded invaders."
Graeme Simpson, prosecuting, said the spree involved others who were not before the courts. Toogood was the driver and their plan was to get into the houses through a rear window or patio door and away from the area as quickly as possible.
Benjamin Nicholls, for Brookes, said he had worked for six months after his last long prison sentence but had been lured back into crime by his drug habit. He now intended to go straight because he wanted to get out of the "revolving door" of being in and out of prison. He also wanted to apologise to the householders.
Lynette McClement, for Toogood, said he had returned to crime when he ran out of money following release from his last prison sentence.
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Constable Dave Louden of West Mercia Police said the investigation was launched when Toogood was arrested for three burglaries last June.
He was found to be selling property from burglaries on free websites, and detectives analysed his phones and used data from automatic number plate recognition cameras to link him to about 38 burglaries committed across the Midlands over the previous year.
Through Toogood police were able to trace Brookes, and he could be linked to about 20 of the burglaries.
DC Louden said: "This was a very complex and in-depth case involving West Mercia and various other police forces.
"As the websites Toogood used were registered in Canada, it became an international inquiry, and we had to seek the permission of the authorities over there to access information about how he had used the internet to advertise and offload the stolen goods.

If I can borrow some inspiration from you readers again, let me say that whoever made the connection between this pair of episodes and Audrey Niffenegger's lovely, sad novel The Time Traveler's Wife nailed it. I hadn't thought of them in those terms but they're simpatico in theme beyond the obvious time-traveling connection. Beneath the science fiction trappings of both lies a feeling that a lot of people share: It's not easy to love someone who wanders.
That's true even if those wanderers mean well. The best bits of this episode, even if they sometimes slow the pacing particularly toward the end, drill down to the emotional core of the Doctor. His scenes with Alex Kingston's River Song after he begins to piece together that not only is this strange woman legit, she might be destined to be a companion in the sense that none of his previous sidekicks has been, are beautifully played, all the more so when he recognizes that this might be the last time he sees her. Even if it's also, in another sense, the first. Even the Doctor seems to have a hard time wrapping his head around that chronological conundrum.
There's another literary model for this that did occur to me while watching this. Watching Donna try to puzzle her way to the base reality of the world into which she's been dropped suggested that Steven Moffatt has read his Philip K. Dick well, particularly Ubik. Donna keeps her head better than most of Dick's characters, but the search for the truth comes at a terrible cost. In this patched together version of the 21st century presided over by the benevolent, all-knowing Dr. Moon, she's found happiness she never found in the real version.
Or, for that matter, in space. Is it sweet, or unintentionally retrograde, that a character defined by her starbound wanderlust would drop so easily into a fantasy of settling down and living a traditional existence? And, while we're speculating and we all (presumably) know the big twist at the heart of these episodes, why would the computer make everyone live in a 21st century London?
Questions, questions. This is, maybe unavoidably, an episode with more questions than answers. Will we see Song again? (I hope so. I think Kingston did a terrific job with this character. She was remarkable chemistry with Tennant.) And what does become of Donna? And her virtua-husband? It's written somewhere in that journal but, hey, spoilers. We're supposed to be ag'in them. (Speculation, on the other hand, should be encouraged. So go crazy below.)
So why did I write last week that I found this slightly less satisfactory than last week's episode? Now I'm not sure, since now that the immediacy has receded and left me to think only of what I liked. Maybe it's the slightly flabby coda. Maybe I just wanted to know what happens next in ways this episode couldn't satisfy. But it's still a pretty terrific episode, and one seemingly destined to have far-reaching ramifications on future episodes. Or will those be past episodes? Time travel boggles mind and breaks hearts.
Grade: A-
Stray observations:
- The Time Traveler's Wife is, briefly, set in the neighborhood where I live.
- Another non-Who note: Would Dick's books benefit from the scaled down effects and expansive running time of a BBC miniseries? I doubt we'll ever find out, but it would have to be more satisfying than, say, Paycheck, right?

Jim Drohman is chef-owner of Le Pichet, a bistro in Seattle that specializes in charcuterie. Local chefs have made Drohman's pork belly a kind of a cult item within their circle, repairing after work to the restaurant for this fantastic example of confit, which is pieces of pork belly sauteed until crispy.
Jim developed his cure based on Loire Valley tradition, which introduces white wine to the cure. Other areas, he says, might use another alcohol, such as Cognac. The seasoning is a sweet-spice mix that can be used with just about any confit. The amount of cure below is enough for 6 pounds pork belly, a bit more than most people may want to prepare at home, but stored in a tightly sealed container, it will keep for months.
You could roast or saute the pieces to reheat, but deep-frying them, as Jim does, is the easiest way to ensure a uniform crust and a melting texture inside (from a calorie or fat standpoint, it would be difficult to increase either through your cooking method, even if you wanted to). Also, it's usually juicier this way, as the density of the fat and the confit are similar; use either canola oil or the tasty fat you've stored the belly in for the cooking.
Jim serves this with mustard and, usually, some sort of spiced fruit preserves. In spring, perhaps feeling guilty about its high fat content, he sets it on some green beans dressed with a vinaigrette and sliced almonds. But it's still deep-fried fat, no matter how you try to healthy it up.
At home, good mustard and a crusty baguette are the perfect accompaniments. You might also serve it alongside a salad with a vinaigrette.–Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn
LC Pretty In Pink Salt Note
No, the pink salt in the ingredients list does not refer to Himalayan pink salt. Pink salt, in this usage, refers to a curing salt with nitrite. It goes by many pseudonyms and is sold under various brand names, including tinted cure mix (T.C.M.), DQ Curing Salt, and Insta Cure #1. The nitrite in curing salts does a few special things to meat: It changes the flavor, preserves the meat's red color, prevents fats from developing rancid flavors, and prevents many bacteria from growing. Even though there's only a teaspoon of pink salt in this recipe, it's an invaluable ingredient.

Jim Drohman's Pork Belly Confit Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes about 12 servings
- For the dry cure
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 bay leaves, crumbled
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 tablespoons Morton's kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pink salt (see Note)
- 6 pounds pork belly, skin removed and cut into 1-by-3-inch chunks
- Dry white wine, as needed
- Rendered pork or duck fat, as needed
- Canola oil or rendered pork or duck fat, for deep-frying
- 1. Combine all the cure ingredients in a bowl and stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- 2. Toss the pork with the cure to coat evenly. Pack into a nonreactive container and cover with white wine. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Remove the pork from the cure and pat the pieces dry with paper towels. Place the pork in an ovenproof pot or Dutch oven and cover with the rendered fat. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, then place in the oven, uncovered, and cook until the pork is fork-tender, about 2 to 3 hours.
- 4. Remove the pork from the oven and cool to room temperature in the fat. If you simply can't wait to eat this succulent bundle when it has finished its confit (we highly recommend chilling all confit, which intensifies the juicy tenderness of the meat), you can pour off and reserve the fat, then return the pan to the stovetop over high heat until the meat is nicely browned. If you have the stamina to wait, refrigerate the pork in the pan it was cooked in or transfer to another container and add the fat; the pork should be completely submerged in fat. Refrigerate until completely chilled, or for up to 2 months.
- 5. To serve, remove the pork from the refrigerator, preferably a few hours ahead. Remove the pork from the fat and wipe off the excess. In a deep, heavy pot, heat the oil for deep-frying to 350°F to 375°F (175°C to 190°C). Deep-fry the pork belly until crispy and heated through, about 2 minutes if it was at room temperature. Remove and drain on paper towels.
