In our last article we talked about the crucial need for balance between the personal and the professional life when you work with your life partner. Time for yourself, time away from the business, and equitable division of responsibilities between partners being keys to success.
But what about the balance of power and decision-making in the office when two life partners also run a business? Who thinks he is in charge, who really is in charge, and who do the employees think is in charge? Interesting questions and challenges.
At home, we are almost 100% balanced in terms of who does what and how we do it. We often have lengthy discussions about what to do and how to do it, and we give and take on the final decision making. After almost 23 years together, we pretty much have this nailed, and we are in sync most of the time. Seldom do we disagree (strongly) on household or personal matters.
In the office, however, it can be a different story.
You know the old saying—"too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soufflé." Well, too many bosses in the office can bruise the business. We both have healthy egos and assertive personalities. We both bring different skills, experiences, and decision-making processes to the business which sometimes leads to us coming to different conclusions.
So who is the ultimate "decider" at our company? That's an interesting question, and the answer is—it depends.
We collaborate on almost everything, but we have clearly defined roles in the business. By title, Jim is the "president," and Bob is the "vice president." Jim is the creative force behind delivering the existing product and creating new product ideas. He is the face of the company, traveling to all of our hotel events around the world. The hotel industry (our customer) knows Jim. On the other hand, Bob is the back-of-the-house guy who manages the business of the business. Finance, marketing, and office/employee administration are his prime roles. Many of the "who is the decider" questions get answered according to these roles.
While Jim appears to be in-charge, Bob frequently says in a wry sort of way, that he is the "power behind the throne" because he controls the money. Since Bob controls the money, does that make him the boss? He often thinks it does, and actually, Jim often agrees with him because a business is all about the bottom line. Without a healthy one there may be no business.
Front-man Jim often has grand ideas about how to spend money, time, and resources. Fiscally prudent Bob always presents the questions: "How much does it cost, who is doing the work, and what's in it for us?"
We're balanced that way. If Jim ran the company 100% of the time, the company may have ceased long ago because of overambitious plans that didn't pan out financially. If Bob ran the company 100% of the time, the company may have suffered a similar fate because too much fiscal prudence kills innovation.
How do our employees feel about having dual bosses? Sometimes it feels as if we have kids playing parents off each other. Happy pappy Jim will say "yes, great idea," and mean mommy Bob will say "no, it's too expensive." More and more we see that our employees will go to Bob first to get 'fiscal approval' before going to Jim for 'final approval.'
Not every decision falls neatly into our carefully crafted roles at work, and sometimes one or the other of us will feel strongly about something the other is responsible for handling. So that employees don't feel that they are stepping into a bossy bitch fight, we don't decide on important or contested issues right on the spot or in front of the team. When it's not clear-cut, or we don't have consensus, we talk privately first so that we present a unified front to our team. Is it easy for one of us to capitulate? Sometimes no. Who gives in, and who decides? Again, it depends.
Big decisions take a lot of discussion to balance all the pros and cons, which may be different for each of us. Jim usually focuses on the innovative idea side of an issue. Bob usually focuses on the fiscal and implementation considerations of an issue. We try to take a balanced approach to most decisions. And who wins? Once again, it depends, but ultimately the business wins because we both have its success at heart.
You may have noticed that we seem to talk to each other a lot about issues, responsibilities, and opportunities. Besides balancing power, time, and responsibilities, great communication is probably the most important key to our success, and we'll talk more about this later.
JIM BURBA AND BOB HAYES have been partners in life and livelihood for more than 20 years. As co-founders of Burba Hotel Network, this couple has formed a power partnership that has become the worldwide leader in developing and producing conferences for the hotel and tourism investment community. Since 2000, their events have attracted nearly 80,000 international delegates in 22 countries.

Saint-Remy en Provence
Saint-Remy-de-Provence Travel Blog› entry 11 of 12 › view all entries
Home town of Nostradamus. Vincent van Gogh was treated here in the psychiatric center at Monastery Saint-Paul de Mausole (1889-1890). The ruins of the Roman city Glanum are located on the outerskirts of St. Remy.
St. Remy is situated on the Northern slopes of the Alpilles, is one of the "must-sees" in the Provence. The main reason is without a doubt Vincent Van Gogh, who produced more than 150 paintings of the countryside surrounding Saint Rémy, including the "Vase avec iris" (vase with iris). Many of the places painted by the artist can be rediscovered, the wild flowers, olive trees, cypruses, the Alpilles - and, sadly enough, the room in the Saint Paul de Mausole Asylum where Van Gogh stayed from May 1889 to June 1890. Were it not for Vincent van Gogh and his paintings St.Rémy de Provence would be another one of those nice historic towns in France. Wonderfully restored town houses, the main church, the shops and the weekly market. Pleasant and from a local historian's point view even remarkable but not extraordinary. Because of Vincent van Gogh a whole aura has been created around St.Rémy de Provence. (excerpt taken from www.provence-hidaway.com )

Belle and Sebastian, If You're Feeling Sinister (Jeepster Recordings/Matador, 1996)
I pretty much thought I'd hate this record because it was reputed to be almost aggressively fey, semi-orchestrated indie pop. And indeed, it is almost aggressively fey, semi-orchestrated indie pop. So was The Life Pursuit, a later album of Belle and Sebastian's I once heard and greatly disliked when I wasn't being bored to sleep by it. Make no mistake - I am generally not the target audience for this kind of music. So what makes me like this record? And what makes me bump this above The Life Pursuit, or many other examples of bad and actively irritating music? The differences between so many failed albums full of twee birdshit and this one are simple: songwriting and honesty. The songcraft here is extremely difficult to deny, and what's more the style is fairly hard for me to deny as well. If You're Feeling Sinister almost sounds like a combination of the late-'60's Kinks at their most placid, easily satiric and relaxed with Bryter Layter-era Nick Drake. Those are really good artists for me to be reminded of. Many of the songs here have that same irresistible verve and subtle rhythmic drive that characterized songs like "Hazey Jane II." And yes, these songs are honest. This music is obviously genuine. I may be a devotee of noise rock and hardcore, but I'm not going to sit here and say that everyone should make loud music about how much they hate themselves and the world around them. Stuart Murdoch could no more make hardcore punk than Ian MacKaye could sing U2 songs. It may not be something I want to hear every day, but this is subtle, beautiful and melodic music, and Murdoch's lisping, soft tenor voice sounds disarmingly natural over these songs. It's almost impossible to hate this record when you're alone with it, unless you're so insistent on being bombarded with noise that anything less than speed-guitars going crunchacrunchacrunch at 1000 miles per hour sounds like shit to you. I could understand not liking massive fans of this band, but the record itself is sweet and decent, and often funny.
If there's one real problem I have with this record as a whole, besides how unbelievably fey it is the entire way through (sorry), it's that you have to read the lyrics in order to get how funny they often are, because Murdoch's diffident singing disguises them most of the time. That's a drawback, because often enough the lyrics here are clearly Smiths-inspired in the best way - influenced by Morrissey's over-the-top wit and humor, not his ruminative and self-indulgent despair. The title track has a deeply amusing line about a girl who's into "S&M and bible studies," and it ends by suggesting that the key to conquering religious doubt is masturbation. There are other problems here and there - the overactive harmonica on "Me and the Major" is a major, whinnying annoyance, the trumpet on "Judy and the Dream of Horses" is sort of ridiculous, and the sappy strings on "The Boy Done Wrong Again" push the song just over the line into corny territory - but overall, I can't do anything but say that this is a very good, extraordinarily pleasant, mild and cynical record. Mild and cynical. That's a much harder combination to pull off than it sounds.
Peace. - M. Martin at 22:10 This post has to do with 30 Reviews In 30 Days, Audio, Bands, Praise, Reviews, Writing

NFL Draft Projections for Alabama's Most Dominant PlayersJanuary 8, 2013
NFL Draft Projections for Alabama's Most Dominant Players
Alabama won its second national championship in as many years on Monday, and this team is loaded with NFL talent.
Dee Milliner, Chance Warmack, Jesse Williams, Barrett Jones—these are just a few dominant players who are projected to be taken in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.
And we didn't even mention Eddie Lacy, Robert Lester or Nico Johnson.
Yep. Alabama pumps out NFL-ready talent on a yearly basis. With this in mind, let's take a look at where each of the team's most dominant players are likely to be picked in the upcoming NFL draft.
Dee Milliner, Cornerback
Dee Milliner locked down Tyler Eifert and the No. 1 ranking for cornerbacks in this year's draft class with a stellar performance in the BCS title game against Notre Dame on Monday.
Milliner is physical enough to handle big receivers and quick enough to hang with speedsters. He uses his body well without getting into trouble with penalties, has excellent hands and is a willing, able tackler.
The junior cornerback is currently mulling over the decision to go pro or stay in school, according to AL.com's Andrew Gribble.
Draft Projection: Top 10 pick, should he enter the draft.
Chance Warmack, Guard
Senior Chance Warmack is easily this year's top-rated guard, and the way he dominated Manti Te'o and the rest of the Notre Dame defense in the BCS title game only further improved his already sky-high draft stock.
Blessed with superior strength, physicality, sheer size and a motor that never quits, Warmack also brings excellent technique and a nasty attitude to whichever team drafts him this April.
Draft Projection: Top 15 pick.
Jesse Williams, Nose Tackle
Senior nose tackle Jesse Williams is the best run-stuffing defensive tackle in this year's draft class.
Blessed with power, agility and an indomitable will to compete and win, Williams will be highly valuable to teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets—teams with 3-4 defenses in need of a run-stuffing nose tackle.
Williams isn't a flashy player, and he isn't likely to put up jaw-dropping numbers at the NFL scouting combine this spring, but he's going to be a first-round pick.
Draft Projection: Top 20 pick.
Barrett Jones, Center/Guard
Senior center Barrett Jones is a player who will be a valuable commodity in the NFL. Not only is he an excellent center/guard prospect, but he's played all five positions on the line during his time with Alabama.
His diversity is something NFL teams are desperate for, and the fact that he played in the BCS title game with a serious Lisfranc injury proves that he's as tough as they come.
Draft Projection: Late-first round.
Eddie Lacy, Running Back
Eddie Lacy's stock has gone up significantly over the course of the past couple of months, and his performance at the BCS title game against Manti Te'o and the vaunted Notre Dame defense only further solidified his status as a legitimate NFL-caliber running back.
Blessed with phenomenal vision, superb strength and power, a wide variety of elusive moves in the open field, an explosive first step and enough speed to blow past many linebackers, Lacy will be one of the first—if not the first—running back to be taken in 2013.
According to AL.com's Andrew Gribble, Lacy is still deciding whether to come back for his senior season or go pro. I'm betting on the latter.
Draft Projection: Top 40 pick.
D.J. Fluker, Offensive Tackle
D.J. Fluker projects as a right tackle at the next level.
He's far more adept at mauling in the running game than he is on the edge as a pass-protector. He possesses elite-level size and power, but his ability to slide-step and move laterally isn't at the same level.
That said, he's likely going to go early in Day 2 of the 2013 NFL draft, should he declare. According to the AP's John Zenor, Fluker is expected to announce his intentions on Wednesday, January 9.
Draft Projection: Top 60 pick.
Robert Lester, Safety
Alabama didn't lose much when Mark Barron left the program a year ago to take his talents to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Senior safety Robert Lester stepped right in and became the leader of the secondary. He is a highly effective run defender who is also a capable center fielder. He tallied four interceptions in 2012 and has complied 14 throughout his last three seasons.
Lester is also capable of providing pressure off the edge as a blitzer, and he'll be a welcome addition to a team in need of a talented safety.
Draft Projection: Late-second-round pick.
Nico Johnson, Linebacker
Senior Nico Johnson isn't as well-known as C.J. Mosley, but he will be a good pro player.
Johnson doesn't possess elite speed or athleticism, though, so he'll likely fall into the middle or late rounds of the 2013 NFL draft. That doesn't mean he'll be an average player at the next level, though.
Johnson will be a perfect fit as a 3-4 inside linebacker. He is a thumper who isn't afraid to get nasty with the big boys on the offensive line, and he'll be a physical presence in the middle of any defense lucky enough to draft him.
Draft Projection: Fourth-fifth round.

Backing Kuwait's Stand against Terrorism
By Michael Knights
February 11, 2005
Five firefights between Kuwaiti government forces and terrorist cells since January 10, 2005, have brought the hitherto low-profile issue of Kuwait's role in the war on terror to the fore. The incidents highlight the increased terrorist threat in a country that, in addition to attracting the normal commercial contingent of Western expatriates, plays the vital role of hosting an estimated 37,500 servicemen and military contractors supporting operations in Iraq.
Since the jihad against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Kuwait has had no shortage of militants willing to undertake violent acts in the name of Islam. After playing a part in armed resistance to Iraqi occupation, scores of young Kuwaiti militants joined the jihads in the Balkans, Caucasus, post-September 11 Afghanistan, and now Iraq. Kuwaiti militants draw on a range of motivations. The surviving 120 or so veterans of the original Soviet-era jihad in Afghanistan are under tight surveillance, but some of their sons and grandsons have sought out their own jihad experiences. Being too young to recall Palestinian support for the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, younger Kuwaitis have responded to continuous coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Arab satellite television with increasing anger against the United States and the West. The growing tension between traditionalist tribal society and urban modernity is a further source of radicalization.

text: Let's consider this from a different direction. First, consider the antimatter bomb from Obsession shown here (Trekcore). It appears stationary but, unless that thing is sitting above one of the rotational poles, that baby is slowly "orbiting" the rotational axis of the planet at an altitude of 1/3 meter. Now, if the antigrav which is negating gravity were to lose power, the thing would probably fall to the ground. Second, consider Stratos, an entire city held aloft by antigravity and also relatively stationary in regards to the ground. And also slowly "orbiting" the planets axis. Third, it's not too much of a stretch for the satellites in Operation A towork the same way. ( BTW, whose says they physically deployed them: couldn't they have used the transporter?) Finally, we see antigravity deployed easily on both the small and large scale; why would starships NOT have a similar capability? (note: I would expect that the technologies for inertial dampeners and antigrav to be related since they both deal with negating accelerations.)

SNSD sent congratulatory messages to Metro News in conjunction with the 9th anniversary of its founding. SNSD, within less than 4 years after debut, are currently known as Korea's national girl group and also, Asia's upcoming top girl group who steadily takes on the global stages. The 9 girls stated that they wanted to be a part of Metro News' happy moments.
Together with Metro News, after 4 years of debut
Debuting in August 2007, SNSD have been gracing the professional stages for less than 4 years. With an average of 5 years training duration for each member, their success today came from their tireless efforts during those trainee days. Metro News was one of their companions during those hard times.
"Before SNSD's debut, I enjoyed reading Metro on the way to school and practice. With the interesting articles, I had fun every morning." (Taeyeon)
After a long period of training, they finally debuted and they can still remember clearly the first time they appeared in Metro News (July 18th, 2007, Page 34 entitled "9 pretty high school girls 'Female SuJu' unveiled")
"I can't forget the happiness and thrill that day. I remember because the members were excited and happy, we couldn't even read the articles properly." (Sooyoung)
The girls thought that the reason for their success is mainly because they were able to show the public their growth, which is similar to that of Metro.
"We are always thinking of new concepts in order to present fresh images. We are encouraged by how the fans appreciate our changes and look forward to further changes. I think Metro's attractiveness is the changes it has undergone." (Yuri)
"Thank you for giving us these memories." (Hyoyeon)
"I wish Metro will grow even more than the past nine years." (Tiffany)
"Please keep providing good news, news that shine like morning sunshine." (Sunny)
May 31st Japan tour, reaching out to overseas market
SNSD will be opening their '1st Japan Arena Tour' concerts in Japan starting May 31st. The tour will take place in Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Saitama until July 18.
"The most memorable moment last year was our first showcase in Japan. In the midst of fear and excitement on a foreign land, we couldn't believe how the fans welcomed us. We wish to meet fans in many places and make new memories and meaning in every place we go." (Seohyun)
After the Arena tour in summer, the girls will meet Korean fans as they kick off the "2011 Girls' Generation Tour" on July 23rd and 24th. The girls have proven their outstanding vocals and brilliant stage performances throughout the 'Into The New World 1st Asia Tour Concert'. Thus, fans can expect to see the girls showing their great teamwork and awesome performances during the upcoming concerts.
The concert in Seoul, which will be the start of second Asia tour, will be followed by Taipei, Nanjing, and other major Asia cities. Their activities are not confined to within Asia only. One June 10th and 11th, SM Entertainment will be holding their very first joint concert in Europe, the 'SM Town Live World Tour in Paris'.
"I'm already looking forward to see the extend of K-pop's impact on Paris. I was touched by our fans of various nationalities during the concert in Los Angeles last year. I think I will be touched again." (YoonA)
SNSD's position in terms of popularity in Japan's music industry would be further strengthened with the release of their first Japanese album, "Girls' Generation" on June 1st.
"Even though we haven't been active in Korea for a long time, we hope to go back with more maturity through the experiences gained in foreign countries." (Jessica)

Toronto, Canada (PressExposure) October 05, 2009 -- Investors are frustrated with the lack of control they have over their investments and the choices available to them. The findings are from the feedback given to Jeff Willis, president and founder of Journey Partners International, over the past 2 years of ongoing discussions and criticism from people who feel that their hard earned investments are at the mercy of the markets. According to Mr. Willis, this frustration investors have regarding their current portfolios, is chronic and highly prevalent partially due to the lack of quality education and improperly balanced portfolios by âprofessionalsâ.
Journey Partners has been offering a full day learning event once a month this past year and is now turning towards offering further education online to help people take back control of their investments and more importantly, the outcome. Mr. Willis explains, âWhen talking to people, I like to ask them a few questions. The first is provocative, but gets their attention. Are you better off financially today than you were a year ago? Would you like to be better off a year from now than you are today?â He continues, âOneâs financial future is far too important to be left in the hands of others. Thatâs how Journey Partners is different, along with continual coaching, we impart education and viable options to people, empowering them on their financial journey.â
The first online event that will focus on the benefits of owning hard assets will happen Monday, October 17 at 7:00pm. People are encouraged to register online at http://www.journeypartners.ca

What is it about liberal Texas political women that makes such entertaining theater? Last season we were treated to Holland Taylor as Texas Governor Ann Richards at the Kennedy Center. This season we have Kathleen Turner as the firebrand columnist Molly Ivins in Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins at Arena Stage. The latter play does invite brief comparison to the earlier work. Both are one-woman shows about strong very political women who left behind a wealth of insightful commentary on the challenges of becoming a powerful woman in their respective fields coming into their own by breaking barriers in their fields. Both subjects call Texas the home of their heart and soul. And both women are unabashed liberal Democrats.
What sets Red Hot Patriot apart is that Molly Ivins was not a politician, she was a journalist. In fact the play is written by two journalists, Margaret and Allison Engel who in an interview with Arena Stage's Literary Manager in the program attest to their admiration for not only Ms. Ivins' skills and humor as a reporter, but their strong belieft that following her death in 2007 from cancer that they needed to create a one-woman play that would celebrate her eclectic life showcasing not only the ground-breaking journalist but the prolific writer and commentator of forty years of American political life.
Kathleen Turner proves a perfect choice to theatrically honor Molly Ivins. The small Kogod Cradle is the perfect setting for this show. In a larger setting the intimacy that Ms. Turner creates with her audience would be swallowed up. It is essential that Ms. Turner be able to engage with her audiences and she does so in with Texas charm edged with piss and vinegar. Ms. Turner is delivering a vibrant performance that is a testament to no only her abilities as an actress, but the respect and love for Molly Ivins and the material the playwrights have crafted. It is not a perfect show, but in this political town, Red Hot Patriot is the perfect way to laugh heartily at the political scene rather than rant about it, even if for a brief 80 minutes of theater. And to ponder, as one leaves the theater, what would Molly say about it all now.
Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins will be performed in the Kogod Cradle at Arena Stage's Mead Center for American Theatre through October 28, 2012. For tickets and other performance information please visit www.arenastage.org.

The British general election has led to the first hung parliament since 1974, with the Conservatives taking the most seats but with no chance of winning an overall majority, results showed Friday.
With just 35 seats left to call, David Cameron's Conservatives had won 290, meaning that even if they won all the remaining seats they would still be short of an absolute majority in the 650-seat House of Commons.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour party were on 247 seats and the Liberal Democrats were on 51, while other parties and independents had won 21.

Maha Shivratri Puja Vidhi
The best way to worship Lord Shiv and Maa Parvati would be to rise early in the morning and take bath. The next thing should be to visit a Shiva temple and offer puja The first thing is to offer kachha jal (slow and steady stream of water) to Shivling for shivratri puja. This should be followed by offering a mix of jal and milk offering to Shivling. The next thing to be offered is dahi followed by ghee. After ghee you can offer honey followed by jal again. Items like bhasam and sugarcane juice are also offered. It would be wise to offer Bhel leaves, scented flowers and marking tripund with sandal paste to the Shivling. The three stripes of the tripund represent spiritual knowledge, purity and penance. Such worship bestows disease free life, wards off the fear of untimely death, happy married life and stability in thoughts & actions.
Chanting Shri Mahamritunjaya Mantra is considered very auspicious on this day. Recitation of "Shri Bhilvashtkam", "Shri Shiv Lingashtakam" and "Rudra Sukta" is also very auspicious. Shiv Puja has the amazing power to get and individual rid of his/her past lives sins and improve his/her upcoming years in the life.
Benefits of MahaShivratri Puja
Besides Shivling poojan it is also advisable to worship Rudraksha on this day. Worshipping Rudraksha or wearing it after worship on this day removes the fear of death and wards off untimely death to the devotees. Individuals having serious planetary afflictions should fast on this day and please Lord Shiva by way of worship. Mahashivratri Puja has the power to remove the most negative of the known planetary afflictions so no one can afford to miss pujan on this day.
It is advisable that everyone should worship "Shri Kaal Bhairav Nath" too on Mahashivratri. Lord Kaal Bhairav Nath is the punishing manifestation of Lord Shiva and Shiv Poojan is considered incomplete without Bhairav Poojan. It is also understood to deliver the devotees from the mistakes encountered during Mahashivratri Pooja. Reciting "Shri Kaal Bhairav Ashtkam" and/or reciting "Shri Kaal Bhairav Ashtotar Naamavali" can be a good source to please Lord Kaal Bhairav Nath.
This auspicious day is round the corner so worship, pray and please Lord Mahadev to stay happy in life.
Har Har Mahadev!!

It is easy to focus on operational matters by reviewing reports and attending conference call updates. But business is about people and technology leaders, like other business leaders, need to be concerned about the people associated with their piece of the business. Certainly the closer you get to have a "C" in your title, the more you should be concerned with the business aspects of what you are doing. This means focusing on leadership and people.
The dilemma in IT management is people rise through the ranks based on technical abilities and some management skills, but there is typically only an assumption people can lead with each step up the ranks. Unfortunately, this leaves us with people in leadership positions that may be technically, and perhaps business savvy, but they often lack the necessary leadership traits and skills to enable the organization's success. The reality is certain techniques for successful leadership are not very complex and getting out among the stakeholders is a simple and effective means to this end.
I have made it a point to leverage trips for meant for one purpose into leadership tours allowing me to visit our operations across the globe. At the least, I attempt to go to the regional headquarters and one outlying area with a significant employee population or operations. Last year, this resulted in my first around-the-world trip, which was quite enlightening. When I traveled to China and Thailand as part of my MBA program, I took the long route there to visit some of our operations in Eastern Europe, India and Southeast Asia.
Two-Way Effect
The benefits of these trips are unmistakable. I find there is a two-way effect with these trips. Obviously, I get the benefit of direct feedback regarding how things are working―or not―in a particular operation. My sense is the people I am visiting often appreciate that I made the trip, which has a positive effect in morale. But the most important feedback we both get is answering the question, Why?
The Why? for me is why are the operations working―or not―according to the planning and guidance issued from corporate and how can we improve it? The Why? for those I am visiting is a better understanding of why the guidance was issued and why the firm seeking the expected results. So, what is really being accomplished in these trips are first hand observation and assessment as well as focused communication opportunities. The trick is to not miss the opportunities and even create them.
What is interesting is how you can connect the dots on a situation. Say we are getting reports there are difficulties with transforming one part of the firm due to some set of issues, and the assumed solution is things will just have to take longer. It is amazing to travel to the site yourself to see that things are not always what they seem. It is very difficult to get this level of understanding from a progress report.
One of the key issues for any business is cycle time. Whatever your business cycle is, the business benefits from reducing the time it takes to provide the products or services, which are the firms objectives. I mention this because cycle time can be artificially extended due to misunderstandings or individual preferences. These disruptions can be minimized by focused time on the ground and this leads me back to the premise that getting out to visit the firms operations is good for business.
So, push away from the keyboard, hang up the phone, and get out to see whats happening for yourself. I am sure you will not regret it.

Easy Healthy Winter Chili
My husband is a big fan of chili – and I love how easy it is to chop up, throw in the crockpot, and let it simmer all day! Having leftovers for days doesn't hurt, either. I found this recipe after trying many others, and I was surprised how easy it was to prepare, there weren't too many ingredients, and the flavor is just right. I put my own spin on this, of course, to make it a little healthier. I make mine with no added salt, no added sugar, and we use turkey meat instead of the traditional beef, but you can swap out whatever meat you prefer! Also, I like to make this in larger batches, so I triple all the ingredients to ensure we have lots of leftovers!
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours
Serves: 6
What You'll Need:
- 1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground venison
- 2 onions, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) can Mexican-style tomatoes (like Rotel)
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1⁄2teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup water
Optional toppings:
- Shredded cheese
- Sour Cream
- Green onion
- Cook ground meat with onions and peppers in large pan.
- Drain excess grease, put meat into a crockpot or dutch oven.
- Add all remaining ingredients to meat, cover and simmer 1-2 hours.
- Serve with your favorite toppings!
Let us know your favorite way to make this recipe!

Move over disruption. Welcome new normal
Thursday July 2, 2015
Isabel Naidoo, Head of Human Capital at Capco, looks at how disruption is affecting HR departments and how savvy HR directors can make their mark on a disruptive environment
It seems I can't get through my Twitter feed without some mention of disruption these days. Whether it's the 'uberisation' of practically anything you can think of or the displacement of traditional services by technology, disruption is all around us. And yet in HR we still seem to be admiring the challenge. And yes I am guilty too, having blogged and vlogged a fair bit around the topic.
However the time has come for HR practitioners to realise that this state of constant disruption is our new normal. The pace at which technology is changing the world around us is, as we know, exponential (only 20 years until singularity, wow!) so there is no reason to believe that disruption is going anywhere fast.
So what does this mean for HR?
Firstly and probably most critically we need to support organisations, leaders and employees through the massive pace of change. Whether it's in knowing how to effectively lead the digital natives, or in enabling employees to embrace and leverage technology, it seems like every way we turn our help is needed.
HR needs to move fast to provide it. While, of course, disrupting themselves…
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more and more ubiquitous (I heard at a recent conference that Google employs half of the AI experts worldwide so that seems inevitable) it's only a question of time before even traditional human elements of HR, that we thought would never be displaced, become obsolete. Would you care for a coaching session with a robot? Why not, if the advice doled out is based on vastly superior experience to any 'real' person's.
Here are some sample questions to ask of your HR teams to see if they are ready for the new normal:
- As collaboration and new ecosystems open up, are we embedding the right skills in the workplace through learning? If collaboration isn't topping the skills matrix, the answer is probably no.
- As we are all limited by our own cognitive biases (yes all of us), do we have enough disruptors in our teams? As the CEO of @BoldRocket is fond of reminding us, only 3% of people consider themselves innovators, how are you giving them room to operate amongst the other 97%?
- Are you still running reports that give you basic retrospective reporting or are you using data to predict trends and predict exactly who we need to speak to?
- Is your recruiting process still reliant on inherent human bias or have you found a way to leverage technology to drill down to the exact kinds of profiles and skillsets you need?
- Do your teams see infrastructure as an enabler or a hindrance? What are you doing to fix this?
- Do you think you have the skills you need to operate your HR department in five years' time? What are you doing about it now?
Change is scary. We know that. But in this case the change is here to stay, and HR needs to be ahead of that curve if it truly is going to be able to add value to the evolving organisational models.

A Theory of Unilateral Trade Policy
We integrate strategic-trade and political-economy considerations in a unified framework to analyze unilateral trade policy. Foreign firms compete on Home´s market through export or foreign direct investment (FDI). They also lobby Home´s government which sets trade (tariff) and industrial (tax) policies to maximize a weighted sum of domestic welfare and lobby contributions. We show that protection by a low-cost Home may improve global welfare by inducing a more cost-efficient global production pattern. The strategic-trade motive for unilateral intervention to increase domestic welfare may prevail even without domestic firms, and may be enhanced by the presence of FDI firms. The political motive to induce lobby contributions may mitigate or even reverse strategic-trade motivated policy deviations, and trade policy deviation need not benefit special interests to be politically optimal. If the government cares more about lobby contributions than about domestic welfare, it is more likely to adopt a liberal rather than a protectionist trade policy, regardless of its impact on lobbies.

SAN FRANCISCO (Venture Capital Journal) - Fresh off of its sale of storage provider 3PAR to Hewlett-Packard, Menlo Ventures last week backed Coraid Inc, a cloud-based storage solutions provider.
The Redwood City, California-based company raised a $25 million Series B investment led by Menlo Ventures with participation from Allegis Capital and Azure Capital Partners. Coraid, which develops Ethernet-based storage products, previously raised a $10 million Series A round from Azure and Allegis in late 2009.
As part of the deal, John Jarve, managing director of Menlo Ventures, joined the board of Coraid, which already includes Lara Druyan, a general partner with Allegis, and Paul Weinstein, a general partner with Azure.
Menlo was interested in taking part in Coraid's Series A round last year, but it was still an investor in 3PAR at the time and "we tend not to back companies that are competitive to others in our portfolio," Jarve said.
However, since that first round, Menlo Ventures had a hugely successful exit when HP won the bidding war for 3PAR, agreeing to pay about $2.4 billion for the publicly traded company, or about $33 a share. Menlo Ventures was the largest stockholder in 3PAR, holding 15 percent of the storage solutions provider, or about 9.4 million shares.
"The enterprise data storage sector has been big and successful, and we think Coraid, which already has hundreds of customer accounts, is ready to join the likes of 3PAR, Data Domain, EqualLogix and Spinnaker Networks to be equally as big," Jarve said.
In addition to Coraid, here's a select list of venture-backed companies to raise early stage funding rounds last week:
Palo Alto, CA
Amount/Round: $1.8 million/seed stage
Investors: Harrison Metal Capital (led), Intel Capital, First Round Capital and individual investors
Details: Operates a food and recipe site with social networking functions.
Tango Health Inc
Austin, TX

Investors: S3 Ventures and several individual investors
Details: Provides Web-based Health Savings Account management services. The company, which was founded in 2008, is led by CEO Duncan Van Dusen, who was previously vice president of sales and marketing for Works Inc.
Retailigence Inc
Palo Alto, CA
Amount/Round: $1.5 million/seed stage
Investors: Draper Fisher Jurvetson, 500 Startups, ZIG Capital and Global Brain Corp
Details: Develops location-based software that connects stores with mobile shoppers. The application works with such location-based services as Google Maps, Foursquare and Gowalla. Retailigence was founded in 2009 as part of the Founder Institute incubation program.
Verastem Inc
Boston, MA
Amount/Round: $16 million/A
Investors: Longwood Founders Fund (led), Bessemer Venture Partners, Cardinal Partners and MPM Capital

Co-founders include Satish Jindal; Longwood Founders Fund Partner Rich Aldrich; Eric Lander from Broad Institute; Piyush Gupta and Robert Weinberg from Whitehead Institute; and Christoph Westphal, who launched Longwood Founders Fund earlier this year after leaving Sirtris Pharmaceuticals.
Charlotte, NC
Amount/Round: $3 million/Series A
Investors: Intel Capital
Details: Develops software that helps businesses manage information technology. The funding brings the company's Series A funding round to $10.3 million. Tony Bishop, CEO of Adaptivity, founded the company in 2007.
Coraid Inc

Amount/Round: $25 million/Series B
Investors: Menlo Ventures (led), Allegis Capital and Azure Capital Partners

Hi all,
First time here, I am planning to join SAS, and I find out yahoo store doesn't allow subtotal and order id to be read, is there any way to do it other than purchase a service $99 to modify our RTML code ? how is everyone's solution? ..
if everybody go buying the code... then I will... just follow..
Thank you and have a good day.
June 22nd, 2004, 11:03 AM #2
Hi Phil - I am also a Yahoo Store merchant. I thought about trying to find a way around purchasing the RTML template but I finally decided to just do it. I'm glad I did - it makes the whole process run smoothly. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

Basically we install a javascript that is installed on your order confirmation page. You could modify it to work somewhere else, or we can do it for really a low cost.
It doesn't affect RTML on your site or anything else on your site. Feel free to contact me with any questions but hopefully this answers the ones you had.

I'm also a yahoo store and the code is great.
The only thing I don't like about it is,, if the customer uses a coupon the affiliate gets paid for the sub-total. I have never modified a affiliates commission because of this but on larger orders when a 15% coupon is used it does add up.
I guess the only reason I bring it up is because just this weekend we had an affiliate order over $430.00 and another close to $300.00 and both used coupons.. (We also had many regular sized affiliate orders with out the coupons so I just consider it a cost of getting the bigger orders.)
Ohh yea congrats to the 2 affiliates that landed those orders!!
June 23rd, 2004, 10:58 AM #6
that's great ! as long as it won't effect any RTML.
thanks for everyone.

Introducing President Obama at yesterday's online town hall discussion, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett encouraged viewers to go to the White House's official site on Facebook.com, telling them: "As health-care reform moves through Congress, it's very important to President Obama that we take the time to engage the American people."
Well, Mr. President, consider them engaged -- but perhaps not exactly in the way Jarrett intended.
On the Facebook page, to which visitors to WhiteHouse.gov were referred with instructions to "join the conversation," the president and his aides were treated to the full range of American public opinion, in the form of thousands of raw and unfiltered posts. Some of those who weighed in were profound, some were less so, and a few should probably have their Internet privileges taken away:
Stacey you're an idiot.
ha! socialized medicine! nay sayers! LOL!
red pill . . . blue pill . . . hahaa.
Yoga, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi improve quality of life for all.
Obama just [expletive] on the morons in the thread.
Mayo Clinic stinks
stinkin SOCIALISM.
Well into the forum, one of the "conversation" participants had a reasonable request: "wud u guys stop clogging the feed with ur nonsense and ask questions to the president!!"
Another participant was intrigued. "Does the president see our messages?"
While Obama probably would have found the thread entertaining -- and certainly more lively than you usually get on an official White House Web site -- he probably had more pressing affairs of state than spending a few hours scrolling through the comments. As it turns out, the president took no questions from Facebook in the town hall forum, which he participated in from Annandale, and only one from Twitter.
But in a sense, the wild and wacky Facebook thread accurately captured public sentiment when it comes to health-care reform. Americans are passionate and confused about it -- and their opinions are all over the lot.
A CNN-Opinion Research poll found that 51 percent of Americans favor Obama's health-care plan, but a Wall Street Journal-NBC poll found that only 33 percent think it is a "good idea." A New York Times-CBS News poll found that nearly six in 10 would be willing to pay higher taxes so that all could be insured, but a Kaiser poll found that 54 percent would not be willing to pay more to increase the number.
A Quinnipiac University poll found that a majority -- 54 percent -- believe that reducing health-care costs is more important than covering those who lack coverage, while the Times-CBS poll found that 65 percent thought that insuring the uninsured was a more serious issue. A Washington Post poll found that 57 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with the health-care system -- but 83 percent are satisfied with the quality of their own care.
In short, when it comes to health care, the state of the union is confused. The confusion won't be cleared up by the complexity of the debate, with all the jargon about community ratings and insurance exchanges and risk adjustments and guaranteed issues. Obama, in his town hall discussion yesterday, described the "public option," the "single-payer plan" and ways to "close the so-called doughnut hole."
The social-networking threads accurately captured the confusion in the public square. Corporate interests and advocacy groups tried to get their points in. And warriors of the left and right took turns on the soapbox, occasionally even addressing the topic at hand. "I like that we have a president that can talk intelligently on a subject with no notes or teleprompter," offered a Twitter user called "Mommyvomitpants."
"Certainly not everyone has fallen for all this communistic ideas???" a more conservative Twitter user inquired.
The Twitter discussion was tame compared with the free-for-all on the Facebook page the White House set up: "Amy, fine then, what is the cost PER MONTH of someone who chooses the public option??? HUH?? . . . Bijan try to get some health care in Canada. Broken and infected teeth are uber pricey. . . . We need midwives Mr. President. . . . OBAMA YOU ARE TAKING OVER THE HEALTHCARE AND GM AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. . . . SINGLE PAYER, NOW!!!"
Inevitably, the squabble spread into a more generalized ideological brawl: "OBAMA IS EVIL. . . . One thing we can all do is not watch Fox. . . . Hey Schell, do more than scream slogans. . . . Gina -- Shut UP! . . . Hit mute, Hussein. Come on . . . who's the one with the gun Curtis?"
And then there were those who seemed to be having conversations only with themselves:
"Thank you and our First Lady for the love you are sharing with me and the world. . . . We don't need anyone supporting Obama's socialistic agenda, lobbyists are a plenty. . . . Jesus was a socialist. . . . This entire show has been nothing more than another series in Obama Propaganda. . . . Free speech is dying. . . . GLBT Community rights!!!!!!."
And every few minutes, somebody named Brian Taylor, his Facebook photo a picture of a young boy, posted the same message: "OBAMA I DONT WANT THE WORLD TO END IN 2012 CAN U STOP IT??????????????"
One thing at a time, Brian.

The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) has added 61 new propane autogas shuttle buses to its Connector paratransit service, the southeast Michigan-based regional public transportation provider announced.
The addition of these new vehicles, which are built on a Ford E-450 chassis and include ROUSH CleanTech propane autogas fueling systems, will make SMART the second-largest propane autogas-powered paratransit fleet in Michigan and one of the top five largest in the U.S., according to the company.
Total fuel and maintenance savings is projected to be $1.1 million to $1.7 million over the lifetime of the propane autogas fleet, SMART reported.
The Connector service helps seniors and people with disabilities get to work, school, and medical appointments throughout the southeast Michigan region. It is an advance reservation, curb-to-curb service where riders may travel anywhere within a 10-mile radius of a designated service area.

Today, November 1st, a fuel truck exploded in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, killing at least 14 people, injuring 60 and setting on fire buildings and cars.
The fuel truck exploded in what it seems a roadway accident, killing 14 people and injuring 60 more. Officials said there is no suspicion of a terrorist attack, as witnesses say that the fuel truck exploded after striking part of a highway underpass. The number of deaths could be higher as rescue crews are still searching through the pilled of charred vehicles and the area near the Saudi National Guard building, located in an industrial area in the city's eastern district.
Columns of smoke could be seen from far away and firefights spent hours to extinguish the blaze. The vehicle crashed into a concrete flyover and the explosion occurred at a junction on Khurays Road, near one of Riyadh's main transport arteries.

Santi White, better known by her stage name Santigold, took the world by storm back in 2008 with her incredible début LP Santogold, which earned her critical acclaim as well as collaborations and tours with the likes of Spank Rock, Kanye West and the Beastie Boys. Over four years later, she is finally following that album up with Master of My Make-Believe, which is released on May 1. We've already heard the pretty great singles 'Big Mouth' and 'Disparate Youth', and seen the amazing album cover photographed by Jason Schmidt (which you watch a making-of video on below) – as well as her recent performance at Coachella – and now you can stream the entire album online. Master of My Make-Believe features production from longtime friends Diplo and Switch (Major Lazer), as well as Q-Tip, Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio), and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and on first listen it's a worthy – if a little inconsistent – and more sonically diverse follow-up to Santogold which I'm looking forward to giving plenty more spins.
Listen to Master of My Make-Believe below (via Stereogum).

- I had the same idea, and I had a Manfrotto 323 laying around. It has a
lock that goes a bit down/back, so I had to saw off some of the NN3
arm. No big deal really as it is made out of aluminium - and the
slicing actally helps keeping the plate in place.

This isn't the usual expressions of negativity made by people who have either never tried it, only dismissed it after a few visits as it was just starting up or refuse to even go near it because of, "broken promises" such as the trophy room. No, this is just some general complaining and criticisms from someone who does use it often.
First up is scale and quality of virtual items. The pleasant surprise of getting a model of the knight in White Knight Chronicles which turned out to be eight feet tall, to the disappointment of paying for a model of a Resistance Goliath that didn't come up to my avatar's ankle. In-between there's monsters from Lost Planet scaled to around knee height. Another more recent example is a set of hover bikes used in a mini-game for the Xi online event done last year with the various spaces brought back as a "museum." The bikes 1-1 scale virtual world models when they cold have been smaller, yet presented on wooden bases and supported, the holographic one aside, on metal poles. There's also a planets of our solar system that are baseless globes of various sizes which just sit on the ground where they could and should have been floating. Much like earlier offered Earth and Sun models which also light up which together are more expensive than the other eight or nine worlds combined.
Don't know if Pluto's included, but that's besides the point.
There's also an equal quaintly of inequality with Home personal spaces. Though most share the same baseline price, the amount of room you get, general setting and features such as mini-games or background animations is often up in the air. And where you get something like the London Pub or the Waterfall Terrance, you also find places like the Dragon's Lair or Lucas Art's Pirate ship space, the last which managed to be both bland and unlivable with constant annoying sounds. The Ratchet and Clank space has multi-stories, but comes off as cramped and confused, where the FFXIII seems a half thought out and confined thought. Another exploitation of the franchise's name.
And then there are instances like the Hollywood and new Loot Yacht spaces. Both offering media streaming, yet where the more recently introduced yacht space has had regular content updates and even hosted live streaming events, videos offered in the Hollywood space are exactly what they were when it was first sold.
The point I'm trying to get across with all this is, despite Home still being a work in progress even after all this time, its in sore need of a set of standards and fully thought out ideas before final implementation. Much like Nintendo use to do in the NES/SNES days if only because the whole of Home represents the Playstaion's brand name.
I know that's very much a mixed bag, but still, just saying.
And as for what they should be doing to set the bar, the Yacht space is a good example. As well as a working wall screen monitor it offers a sundial that literally sets the time of day, active light switches, as well as unlockables which are activated by certain conditions. Getting seagulls after so many visitors are invited. Buying certain items, a dolphin or whale statue, and placing them in the space. And while this last may sound like a grab for extra cash, its actually an opportunity to further open aspects of a virtual world which currently has a very mundane reputation.
Again looking at the Xi hover bikes, full scale ornaments, its pretty obvious that with just a bit more effort they could have been made into interactive items. Either as a sidesaddle avatar chair or one which is straddled in typical bike ridding manner. Given a six-axis tilt option or made into a cheap dodge-em mini-game with each model having its own. Or more extravagantly, it could be even be a full race game with a track set in the theme of the personal space its in. Given that different companies make different Home spaces and items – my guess for the differences for the Hollywood and Yacht spaces media content – this is where standardization from Sony would fit in.
I don't see any of this being implemented or fixed, just getting it off my chest.
Sony need to quit smelling their navel cheese and actually make some software features on PSN that work.
I go on HOME a few times a year, thats all, but have found some areas have nothing to do in them, which seems a little pointless. The areas with mini games are sometimes quite good though.
I don't buy anything from the shops etc, but have got things for playing games. A few clothes items, chairs and ornaments for my apartment.
Home is alright to go on once in a while to see the new rooms etc, but thats all I go on it for and to play the new mini games.
Home is still in Beta stage right? I cant remember as I only went a few times. From what I saw though it was mostly idiots dancing around and chasing after any avatar that they perceived as female.
I am guessing a lot of people have visited Home only to never go back, I only go back once or twice a year to see if it's the same old BS and so far sadly that has been the case.
they should make an amusement park space. Complete with bumper cars and roller coasters and mini games to win stuffed animals for your apartment.
I know i would be in there more often.
Home is a place to take a break from killing and destruction and have some fun. Space battles, pool, bowling, arcade games, search missions mazes and just recently racing etc. If you find it so hard to find fun in Home then it really isn't for you. It is just a fun distraction that people complain way to much about especially since it is free and optional. And for those who believe that no one is in Home just go to places like Slapp Happy or Novus Prime or Bowling and see how long you have to wait to play a game. Idiots believe that because they or two of their friends don't do something that automatically means that NOONE does. Home has flaws in it but it is not unplayable or broken by any means. BTW I don't understand what is with the putting down Home because it has immature people bothering you. Play any online game or MMO and you will meet equally as many [email protected]$$es and preverts.

"We Have 360 Distinctly Different Senses"
If we go back in time to around 3,000 BC during the Golden Age those civilizations believed we had lots of different senses, more than just the regular five senses that everyone knows about. And this information was passed to them via Great Spirit.
Right now we have a huge amount of senses that we take for granted such as:
Pressure - We have special pressure sensitive areas of our skin that tell us if we have pressure on our skin and inside our organs.
Tension - We have special sensors in our body that tell us when we have tension in our muscles, skin, GI tract, and other areas of our body.
Hunger - We have special sensors in our body that tell us when we are hungry otherwise we would waste away.
Balance - We have balance sensors in our ears that tell us when we are upright and level and when the world gets turned upside down.
Itch - We also have special itch receptors that are different from the regular touch sensors… thus we can tell when we have a rash or insect bite.
Thirst - We have special thirst receptors in our body that tell us when we need to drink water so we can rehydrate. Otherwise, we would die if we didn't know when to drink water and stay hydrated.
Time - We have special parts of our brain that tell us exactly what amount of time has passed. And there have been lots of studies showing that we can be extremely accurate at telling how much time has passed.
Direction - We also have special parts of our brain that work like a compass that helps us find our way across the globe. Geese and other birds are not the only ones that have this special gift. Studies show that especially when we are young we have a great ability to tell which way we are going… if we use these abilities daily.
Proprioception - We also have the ability to tell when our arms are over our head, where are legs are in relation to the rest of our body and more… all without using our eyes.
Pain - We have pain receptors in our body that sense when we have pain. Pain is very important it keeps us alive because if we get cut and we have pain it gets our attention so we can take action.
And this list could go on and on… for you see we have 360 different senses… most of which we are not using in this day and age because we have forgotten about most of them. All of this information was given to us thousands of years ago but we lost all of this. Now man is waking up and thus we will remember we are much more than flesh and blood.
It's time to remember all 360 senses… for we are pure awareness.
Many Blessings to Everyone!

What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn't make a difference? What if no matter how you voted, the elites always got their way? What if the concept of one person-one vote was just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance?
What if democracy as it has come to exist in America today is dangerous to personal freedom? What if our so-called democracy erodes the people's understanding of natural rights and the reasons for government and, instead, turns political campaigns into beauty contests? What if American democracy allows the government to do anything it wants, as long as more people bother to show up at the voting booth to support the government than show up to say no?
What if the purpose of contemporary democracy has been to convince people that they could prosper not through the voluntary creation of wealth but through theft from others? What if the only moral way to acquire wealth is through voluntary economic activity? What if the government convinced the people that they could acquire wealth through political activity? What if economic activity includes all the productive and peaceful things we voluntarily do? What if political activity includes all the parasitical and destructive things the government does? What if the government has never created wealth? What if everything the government owns it has stolen?
What if governments were originally established to protect people's freedoms but always turn into political and imperialist enterprises that seek to expand their power, increase their territory and heighten their control of the population? What if the idea that we need a government to take care of us is a fiction perpetrated to increase the size of government? What if our strength as individuals and durability as a culture are contingent not on the strength of the government, but on the amount of freedom we have from the government?

Projectplace is a Web-based project management tool, available as a subscription service from the Swedish application service provider, Projectplace International AB. Launched in September 1998, it was one of the first hosted Web applications available on a pay-per-use basis.
Today, the service is available in seven languages and has been used by over 900,000 users. The Projectplace software provides a suite of project management tools, developed on the beliefs of social project management.
This one was a challenge! Projectplace is one of several services offered by planview.com. As such, Planview decided to run a single MindTouch installation, with child sites for each of those services. The individual sub-sites, however, needed to remain functionally separate, and be styled according to the branding for each of those services.
Aside from conquering the issue of what is effectively top-level category-specific CSS, we also had to include some non-standard functionality, including:
- Pre-formatted callouts for Tips, Notes and Warnings
- Code block formatting
- Embedded videos from a video CDN source
- MindTouch Paths as a side panel
We also used some simple jQuery to move elements around the page, in order to match up with the client's specific wireframe wishes.
This is a custom pre-formatted block for a Tip. We were able to setup a conditional style, so that site administrators and editors can simply highlight a block of text and apply the style, which will add all the colours, icon, spacing, etc. to produce the desired result.
MindTouch Paths are now a core element of the system, but Projectplace wanted to have the Path steps on the side of the article, as opposed to just at the top, where they are by default. This was achieved with some Javascript, custom CSS and lots of coffee!
Silvija Doncev
Customer Experience Designer
We contracted purpleplanet to rebrand our new help portal for customers at Projectplace.
As the only company located in Europe that could rebrand sites based on MindTouch, purpleplanet had already rebranded many support sites and were recommended directly by MindTouch. They simply knew the product, which was very important, as we had a complex branding issue to solve with many product sites within one installation.
purpleplanet are nice people to work with, competent, easy to communicate with and great problem solvers.
Many thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

How much time do you spend on Facebook each week? What's Facebook?
Name: Phillipa Smith
Firm: Pinsent Masons
Position: Learning and development manager
Lives: Derbyshire
What time do you start work each day? Usually around 9ish, but the BlackBerry means that it could be anytime from 6.30.
What's the most boring thing you've been asked to do in your job? Anything to do with IT systems – I don't think my brain works that way.
How much time do you spend on Facebook each week? What's Facebook?
What is the most unusual Christmas present that you have received from a colleague?A couple of years ago I got some anti-aging cream from Secret Santa – not only was I horrified but I couldn't project my horror in anyone's particular direction.
If you could introduce one law, what would it be and why? A law that makes grumpiness at work illegal—we all have bad days now and again, but surely not everyday.
How did you spend your last bonus? (If you have never received a bonus, how would you hope to spend it in the future)? If I had a bonus, I'd love to treat my husband to that Aston Martin he's been dreaming about for many years (but it would have to be a BIG bonus).
What are the best perks of your role? The diversity of the work that I'm involved in and the people I work with in the HR&L team (I'm sure that sounds boring but its true).
What do you wear on dress-down Fridays? Jeans and heels.
Have you ever been asked to do anything at work that you suspect might have been illegal?Most definitely – but I couldn't possibly say what or when, other than it was a very long time ago, I said no and found a new job very quickly.
What is the most irritating habit of any partner you've worked for? Not actually worked for but I used to work in an office on the floor below someone who had a really annoying habit of stomping around their office in what seemed like a pair of clogs – it could sometimes go on for hours.
How do you unwind after the end of a hard week? I'm very lucky to live in a fabulous part of the country with glorious walks and country pubs on my doorstep – say no more.
Do you see your colleagues on weekends? Heaven forbid – I'm sure they've seen enough of me during the week.
Have you ever fallen in love at work? (If so, please provide details). I have – and we're now very happily married.
If you were a lawyer what would your practice area be and why? Employment Law.
What do you eat for lunch?I work with a team that are very generous in terms of keeping the department stocked up with goodies so lunch is what's on offer that day – normally rather unhealthy but always very nice.
Is your salary (in thousands) greater than your age? Happy to say it still is (just).
What items do you always carry around with you at work? The dreaded blackberry and my projects book – I have a memory like a sieve so I need to write it all down.
Who do you have photos of on your desk? My dog – the cutest JR you've ever seen (but I am biased) – and my husband.
Corney & Barrow or The Royal Exchange? The Royal Exchange – prefer the buzz
Soy Latte or Nescafe?Good mug of tea.
City break or weekend in the country? Even though I live in the country, I'd go with the country weekend every time.
Sum up your firm, chambers or employer in three words. Ambitious, challenging, client-focused.

Impact of the new Valve's rules on Dota 2
We're a couple of days away from the moment which will put an end to late Summer reshuffles in Dota 2 teams, which comes straight after The International. After 5 September any changes in the teams aspiring to get to Valve's Majors will be available no more. Well, they will surely be able to reshuffle, but Valve will immediately punish such actions by withdrawing invite to the main part of the tournament or regional qualifiers. The team, which violates Valve's reshuffle restriction, will only be able to participate in the open qualifiers. Getting through the open qualifiers will be tough even for a top team, since all the matches are held in bo1 format. It is pretty similar to Russian roulette. Summing up, we can be pretty sure, that none of the teams will test their luck by reshuffling during the season. Note that these rules are first introduced in Dota 2.

People, people! No need to dump your 2009 Christmas tree in such inappropriate places... like the Carroll Street Bridge over the Gowanus Canal. (That area has seen enough dumping over the last century.)
The New York City Sanitation Department will pick it up right from the curb in front of your house starting on Monday, January 4th, 2010 through Friday, January 15th.
From the NYC Sanitation Dept website:
Residents should remove all tree stands, tinsel, lights, and ornaments
from holiday trees before they are put out at curbside for removal.
Trees must not be placed into plastic bags. Clean, non-bagged Christmas
trees that are left at the curb between Monday, January 4th and Friday,
January 15th will be collected, chipped, and made into compost. The
compost will be processed and subsequently spread upon parks, ball
fields, and community gardens throughout the city.
In January 2009, the Department collected 122,235 discarded Christmas trees.
"The Department is very pleased to offer this special recycling
service. Providing collection and recycling options for residents is
environmentally valuable and benefits our neighborhoods. Working in
conjunction with the City's Parks & Recreation Department allows
residents to take part in the recycling process and permits them to even
reuse their composted Christmas trees to fertilize for the
spring. Compost is a natural fertilizer and is an excellent soil
enrichment that promotes the healthy growth of plants and grass," said
Commissioner Doherty.
For more information on Christmas tree collection and recycling and/or
Mulchfest 2010, visit www.nyc.gov/sanitation
<http://www.nyc.gov/sanitation> or www.nyc.gov/parks
<http://www.nyc.gov/parks> or call 311.
In addition, the NYC Park's Department will be hosting its yearly Mulchfest on Saturday and Sunday, January 9&10.
