Guidelines for Standard US Mail Shipping
The US Postal Service doesn't guarantee delivery times, period. That means that even when we send our your order the same day like we usually do, and it goes out by US Priority Mail, the post office could drop the ball and deliver it many days later, and they will offer no apologies if it happens.
The US Postal Service claims that US Priority Mail takes 2 to 3 days anywhere in the country. But they get completely overloaded during the holiday season, and it
usually takes longer
during these peak periods. So please don't expect that a standard delivery by the US Mail is going to magically get there in the most optimistic time period of 2 days. Because you'll probably be sad if you count on this to happen.
What does this mean as far as when you should order with
standard delivery
? We think that you are
relatively safe if you order by Monday, December 17, and maybe by Tuesday, December 18
We are shipping from Dallas, Texas. So the closer you are to Dallas, the better your chances with the postal service.
Please don't get angry with us if a delivery company doesn't deliver on time, or because you didn't understand the concept that "Overnight" doesn't mean Saturday or Sunday or Christmas Day.
We work incredibly hard during the holiday season to get orders out the very same day you place them, which gets merchandise to you as fast as possible. We want you to get your order in time for Christmas, and we do everything under our power to get it shipped immediately!

Ever thought about how much your nose and a computer screen have in common?
Researchers have discovered the way they both work shows us why we sneeze.
When your computer crashes and the blue screen appears, the only solution is to shut it down and start again.
Scientists say the same thing happens when you sneeze. You could say it's the way our noses are programmed to 'reboot.'
"It resets the cilia to beat and move along as it's supposed to," according to Dr. Jonathan Moss with Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Associates in North Carolina.
Cilia are the microscopic hairs located inside our nose that clears out dust, dirt and mucus.
Our nose and sinuses produce about four cups of mucus every day.
Healthy cilia and a good sneeze clears out all of our nasal clutter.
However, people who suffer from sinusitis have cilia that isn't able to perform this routine housekeeping task.
For those individuals Moss says, "The sneeze doesn't work properly; it doesn't clear out the nose."
Researchers say that's why people with sinusitis sneeze more often, because their nose can't completely reboot.
The force of a sneeze gives your nose a fresh start, and that's why doctors say you shouldn't try to suppress or hold a sneeze in.
"Sneezing is a good thing," Moss says.
Since its what's your body is designed to do, let it out -- just don't share it with everyone else!
Researchers hope that by better understanding why we sneeze will lead to new and better treatments for sinusitis.

Additional Information:
The following information was published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology journal in an article entitled "Molecular modulation of airway epithelial ciliary response to sneezing" (Source: http://www.fasebj.org/content/26/8/3178.abstract).

Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

I made this cake for Easter dessert and everyone raved over it. It was moist, rich, and delicious. The swirls of green from the tea looked so nice when the cake was sliced, and the glazed just put the whole thing over the top. I did grate the peel of one orange to add to the cake batter and I poked holes throughout the cake before pouring the glaze over. Once the cake was removed from the ban, these holes were not visible but they helped the glaze soak into the cake. I couldn't find matcha at our area stores, but putting green tea leaves through the spice grinder worked fine. I would definitely make this again!
Green Tea-Honeysuckle Cake

MunecaJane Posted: 08/11/13
This cake was a big success. My family loved the texture and moisture in it. Next time I will use less sugar. I used Cointreau for the glaze instead of Gran Marnier, The Matcha (powdered green tea) gave it a very unique flavor. After pouring the glaze.. it looked like it had come from a bakery and not from my kitchen. I know I will be making this cake for many celebrations in the future. Highly recommend it.

A Picture Video of Our Progress
Posted on 09. Aug, 2011 by Chris in Construction, Earthship
Video of Construction Progress
We put together a video of our building progress sometime last year for a sustainability conference that we attended.
I came across it this evening while cleaning up our camera card. It is out of date in terms of our current progress, but shows lots of details.
Maybe we will try and update it at some point …
PS – I tried to embed the youtube video and failed … click on the link at the top to see it.

get a Journalism
degree at Marquette
Actually I
guess I got
but the degree.
I did everything
else and then
went on to
school in Theology
at the University
of Notre Dame,
where I did
get a Master's
degree in Theology.
I mentioned
that because
when I finished
with the degree
at Notre Dame,
I came back
to the College
to teach. And
so I found
myself back
here again
and it was
just as it
was going co-ed.
I just remember
my first assignment,
my first teaching
I remember
going to the
classroom and
a number of
young women
came in and
I think they
were freshmen,
if I'm
not mistaken.
I can't
remember that.
But then all
of a sudden,
a whole group
of Irish Christian
brothers appeared
on the scene
and I had a
I had about
40 people in
this Old Testament
class, that's
what I remember,
it was an Old
Testament class.
It was one
of the greatest
in my life
and it really
set me into
College teaching.
it was wonderful
to be at the
College. I'm
trying to think,
I can't
remember how
many years,
but I do remember
that while
I was here
there was a
Jesuit here
by the name
of Fr. David
Clark. He was
the Academic
Vice President,
if I'm
not mistaken.
He went on
to become the
President of
Regis University
out in Denver.
He talked me
into starting
a Campus Ministry
He gave me
an empty room
upstairs that
had to be a
single bedroom
in the past.
remember cutting
letters out
of some felt
and putting
it on a banner
and it spelled
Campus Ministry,
I hung it up
and we just
started. That's
how we started
Campus Ministry,
I mean I knew
nothing about
campus ministry,
but I was rather
privately tutored
by Fr. Dave
to start the
So I got people to come and we
ended up setting our agenda for
the year and we had wonderful,
wonderful activities.

David would have
mass for us everyday
down in the lounge,
on the first floor
there. And I remember
feeling real obligated
to look at the readings
ahead of time because
he would come in
from the office and
he'd start
vesting and then
he would say "do
you know what the
first reading's
about, do you remember?
Or what's the
second reading about?" Then
he would get up and
give this wonderful
homily. So I always
used to kid him about
coming for the act
of transubstantiation.
We had, he was a
wonderful leader
here and it just
touches my heart
to see Campus Ministry
has developed ever
since that particular
we were trying to
get a priest. Oh,
I think I interviewed
something like 24
people. We finally
got a priest from
the East; a priest,
a Franciscan, by
the name of Daniel
still a dear friend
of mine and he's
with his community
out East now. But
he got all kinds
of programs going
here. He did not
want to be the Director
of Campus Ministry,
so he made me, not
made me, but he convinced
me I should be the
Director. He would,
you know, help develop
everything; which
he did.
I ended up being
asked to go to Notre
Dame, to come to
Notre Dame, to help
because they were
going co-ed. And
I, they were looking
for some Sisters
to help with that
whole big moment.
And I went there
and I remember there
was no job description
for this for a woman.
And I remember saying
to the provost
there "What
if I only make it
til Christmas?" And
then he said "Well,
we could arrange
that. If you come
and if you only make
it til Christmas,
we'll get somebody
else." But
I said "Well,
there's no
job description." He
said "Well,
I know. You just
come share life and
at the end of the
year, we'll
look at what happened
and then we'll
write our job description." And
so that's what
I did. I ended up;
this is my 32 nd
year at Notre Dame.
the thing that I
hold so dear is that
for about 27 of those
years, I've
been on the Board
of Trustees here
at the University.
So it's been
wonderful to watch
the history of the
University. I must
say, when I came
on the Board, Sr.
Vivian was the Superior
General, I think
at that time, and
she was on the Board.
So she was leaving
and they asked me
to be one of the
Sister representatives.
But I remember her
saying to me, "You
know Jean, you might
be on the Board when
they close the University,
the College, down." And
I just reminded her
of that. Because
it looked like could
we make it. So many
small Liberal Arts
Colleges in the country
were just financially
so strapped. They
just couldn't
find their way through
all the changes.
And we hadn't
gone co-ed, I can't
remember what year
we went co-ed, but
anyhow that was one
of the things that
looked like it might
save us. But then
the whole place just
came alive again.
So we were kidding
about this the other
night. I said "Vivian,
do you remember the
night you said to
me "You might
be on the Board when
they close down."" I
said, "Look
at the place!" So,
it's been wonderful
to be on the Board.
there were times
when the University
here got together
with Notre Dame sometimes.
Because when the
University celebrated
its 75 th year; they
asked Fr. Heberg,
who was the President
Emeritus then at
Notre Dame, if he
would come and be
the graduation speaker.
So, at that time
President Doppke
was here and President
Doppke was a Notre
Dame graduate. So
he thought maybe
Fr. Ted would do
it for a couple of
reasons. Because
he was a grad, but
because eleven of
our Sisters were
at Notre Dame and
helped in Ministry
there. So anyhow,
Fr. Ted said yes
and he sent me, called,
and then sent a little
note and said why
don't you fly,
he was going to fly
over here. So I flew
here with him for
that graduation.
He just had a great
time here in this
very room. He was
in here, he met all
the Board of Trustees
people and he said
to me "I'm
doing this for the
Sisters." And
then after the graduation
and everything was
over, you know we
had some refreshments
and that. Then we
flew back and he
said he just thoroughly
enjoyed coming in
you know. Notre Dame
has their graduation,
this great big air
conditioned basketball
arena. But Fr. Ted
is so at home wherever
he goes. He loved
the tent. We had
the tent effect and
for him it was just
wonderfully Franciscan.
and so, we got
Fr. Ted here, you
know here at our
little College,
our University. Then
the nice thing was
there were 3 or 4
people on the Board
who were Notre Dame
graduates. And so
they got a big kick
out of having him.
Mike Hansen got a
plane from someplace
and went and got
us, you know. So,
anyhow, it seems
like the University
here has just been
a part of my life
all these years.
My sister went here,
my niece went here.
I just can't
imagine my life without
this place.
I look back at
special people,
I think first I guess,
I think of Sr. Rose
Agnes because I met
her when I was a
freshman. She taught
me Theology. She
was studying Theology
at St. Mary's
of Notre Dame. We
were on the cutting
edge already with
Sr. Rose Agnes in
terms of the Church,
movement in the Church,
women in the Church,
and women going into
Theology. I'm
sure she's
the one that set
me ready to go into
then the other
person was Sr.
Seraphim who really
taught me Journalism
and writing. I can't
imagine my life without
Sr. Seraphim.
I think of her so
often. I had an opportunity
a couple years ago
to sit and write
some memoirs about
Notre Dame. The book
got published. I
know I never would
have done that, I
mean it was all so
much a part of my
training from the
University here.
So it's a little
piece of history
for the University
and because the book
deals a lot with
the first women and
all the different
things that happened;
not just the women,
the men you know
and the women. The
stories, the stories.
But I think how did
I ever write that?
I'm sure it
was the reason; I
never would have
attempted that, people
kept pushing me to
do it. And then when
I went to do it,
it was like it just
kept coming and coming
and coming. Pretty
soon I had this book
and I thought, I
guess I really did
get educated in a
certain amount of
Journalism, you know
to do something like
that. So anyhow,
Sr. Seraphim was
real special.
Chrysantha was
real special. She
was the Dean. I learned
a lot from Sr. Chrysantha.
A lot of our sisters,
Sr. Beatrice, oh
my gosh, I learned
everything I know
about Shakespeare
from Sr. Beatrice.
I mean we could sit
here and go on & on.
Tharla, Jane Marie,
who is 93 years
old. I was talking
to her yesterday.
She knows all my
love life. I mean,
she met all the fellas
that I dated here,
different ones. One
I almost married
before I decided
to come into the
community. But she
always reminds me
of that. So once
I was campused, how
many days, 27 days
because I was late
coming home. You
got 3 days for the
first minute and
then a day for every
minute after that.
We got caught in
a snowstorm someplace
and the fella I was
with, we just couldn't
get back here. So,
later she confessed
that she thought
I eloped. Anyhow,
because she knew
it was a serious
relationship. So
Sr. Tharla is just
one grand friend.
She's just
a wonderful woman.
She knew my family
very well.
other thing is
I've stayed
close to a number
of the women that
I graduated with.
We had our 50th
a couple years ago.
So we all got together
at Marge Hansen's
house. Someone is
trying to remind
me of something.
What award? Did I
get, oh I did, an
alumni, from the
College? Oh, I forgot,
I can't remember
when I got that.
But it was for women
who went to the College
for their professional
That's right.
That's got
to be 15 to 20 years
ago. I think the
person who got it
with me was Carolyn
Murphy, who became,
she just finished,
she was the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees
here for 10 years.
She just resigned.
That's right,
I did get that. I
forgot about that.
some of what I remember
at the College. The
College of St. Francis
was well known on
the south side of
Chicago. There were
a number of folks
that came here. It
was just a great
short ride on the
Rock Island. You
were far enough to
be away from home,
to be away from home.
But not too far that
your parents, even
when I came to College
for women to go away
to College was still
you know everybody
didn't do that
in the 50's;
this was the late
40's. But I
distinctly remember
my dad putting me
on the train and
giving me $5 for
the week or for the
2 weeks. I was supposed
to buy a dance bid
out of that. You
know dance bids then
were like $2 or $3.
I think my first
year at the College,
my College bill for
the whole year; we
have a copy of it
and my brother just
reminded me of this;
was something like
$850. That was for
room and board. What's
interesting when
we looked at it,
that the most expensive
part of my College
education was my
room and board not
the education. I
had all these PhD
nuns teaching me.
It was just an amazing
thing, the kind of
education we got.
know when I left
to go for graduate
work in Journalism
at Marquette, I guess
there were moments
when I thought I
wonder if I'm
ready for graduate
school at a big Jesuit
place like that.
But once I got there,
I just felt really
my education, I was
ready for that. Then
to go on at Marquette,
I mean Notre Dame.
It was after the
Council and our community
wanted some sisters
to go on in Theology
because there were
so many changes.
I tried desperately
to stay at Marquette.
I never wanted to
go to Notre Dame.
I thought it was
so Catholic that
maybe they would
never be able to
make all the changes
that the Council
was asking for. Isn't
that wild? So, that
was not my first
choice. So I always
feel like I backed
into Notre Dame and
stayed 32 years.
always felt that
my education here
at the College prepared
me for everything
I did. At that time
it wasn't co-ed.
We did a lot of things
with St. Procopius
which was a
men's College.
Sometimes the University
of Notre Dame fellas
came here, Fornier
Institute which
was so heavily endowed
by H.H. Smith. He
brought in all those
Catholic young men
who went into Engineering.
A number of them
always came over.
They were always
in uniform. So the
College, it's
been a wonderful
place. It continues
to do all these grand
and glorious things.
But with lots of
grace, lots of Thanksgiving,
and what else? Is
there anything else?
never hesitate
to tell anyone
to come to school
here or to try
to get a job here.
Now I find myself,
and folks here
when they get into
situations, sometimes
they call me or
I send things here
that I think they
might appreciate that.
You know, we've
had a problem with
at Notre Dame and found
some ways to deal with
things. I tend to send
that here. I was just
talking to Lina Sims
and she is doing so
much more in Cultural
Diversity and I work
with that all the time
at Notre Dame. So,
she's going to
come with a group and
they're going
to come to visit. She's
done that a couple
times. They just pick
up and come and we
sit down. I show them
what we have and you
know get them to talk
to people, to be a
resource for them.
I'm sure that's
Fr. Ted's way.
I'm sure I learned
that from him. It was
always like come to
Notre Dame, talk to
people, maybe someone
could help you with
this. So it's
been wonderful to be
able to do that.

Access "SharePoint performance sinks, swims with SQL Server throughput "
This article is part of the August 2012 issue of Open source add-ons enhance Sharepoint 2010 collaboration
When things slow down in a SharePoint system, the initial fix is often to add more Web servers to better handle the load. But those front-end servers rely on the same back-end database server, and the back end is where SharePoint usually encounters the most performance problems. That's because it essentially relies on SQL Server as both a database and a file system. It's not that SQL Server isn't a speed demon; it can be. But SharePoint's processing demands tend to highlight SQL Server's most common bottleneck: disk I/O. It's important to keep that in mind when planning for long-term SharePoint performance management. So what can you do to mitigate, or even avoid, the logjams that can snarl SQL Server throughput? Start by getting SharePoint's binary large objects, or blobs -- typically file attachments if you're a SharePoint person -- out of the SQL Server database. Both SharePoint and SQL Server support Microsoft's Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) technology, which enables SQL Server to put all of those Word, Excel and other documents back on the NTFS file system...

For the past 95 games, since the departure of Rick Nash via a trade to the New York Rangers, the Columbus Blue Jackets have been without a team captain. This time span includes the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and over half of the current 2013-14 season.
During that time, the Blue Jackets have gone 46-37-11, arguably one of their best stretches in their 13-year history, including a recent five-game win streak and a furious 19-5-5 finish last season, only to miss out on the final playoff spot on a tiebreaker.
The current five-game win streak (cumulating with a 5-1 win over Washington) comes off of the heels of the arrival of their signature offseason Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) signing of Nathan Horton and a return to health of many of their oft-injured and key players.
Through all of the Blue Jackets success, there has been clamoring, mostly by their fans, as to why a team captain has yet to be named. However, there has been no urgency to name a team captain by the Blue Jackets' executive brass or head coach Todd Richards.
It appears to be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps it could be some recalcitrance over the awkward exit of Nash, having requested a trade out of Columbus, albeit primarily with his issues with the prior regime. Perhaps it's due to awaiting for Horton to be fully healthy and in game shape – Horton appears to have all of the traits of a leader in the Blue Jackets locker room. Perhaps they are patiently waiting to see if someone such as forward Brandon Dubinsky, a firebrand performer, or defenseman Jack Johnson, a former Team USA Winter Olympian who was struggling in the earlier part of this season, to seize the leadership reigns. Or maybe, just maybe, they're in no hurry to make a decision, abiding by the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
In short, is the lack of a team captain really a bad thing?
For perhaps the first time in franchise history, the Blue Jackets have a unified, "all in" locker room. They're a team that plays a tight, forechecking, gritty style — a team that, while not necessarily possessing elite talent, many do not want to play against. It's also likely that a decision done in haste, just to appease its fan base, could cause some disappointment amongst members of the core group.
Recalling that when Nash was named captain, former Blue Jackets team captain Adam Foote also requested to be traded, putting the organization in quite an awkward spot. In hindsight, Nash's captaincy left quite a bit to be desired. Nash was very low-key and, at best, more of a "leader by example" and not the type that draws comparisons to the likes of Jarome Iginla, when he was captain of the Calgary Flames, or Mark Messier, who is the only player to captain two different teams to the Stanley Cup. Given that and it's possible that the current Blue Jackets brass wants to avoid the prior mistake of naming a captain in haste and to keep the current fiery locker room in-tact.
No matter the reason as to why a captain has yet to be named, the Blue Jackets are in the thick of a Stanley Cup playoff berth chase and, to the players and the team brass, it's not an issue whatsoever.
So, until the need arises or when someone emerges as its bona fide leader, the Blue Jackets are perfectly content to continue on without a team captain.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Emily Blunt goes glam for the December issue of C Magazine. The English beauty opens up about working on an action film with Tom Cruise and her childhood stutter, saying:
"I had a really bad stutter as a kid, and the thing that got me out of it was to imagine I was someone else—to take on a new identity via silly voice or by mimicking. It was the only way I could speak fluently. Kids found it funny, and I can understand. There's a frankness to the way they say, 'What's wrong with you? Why can't you just say it?'"

Kevin Gillespie inspires our imagination, inspires our palates, inspires aspiring chefs.
Now he has inspired original art.
The finalist on Bravo's Top Chef has been captured in a series of paintings by Vinings Gallery artist Christopher M.
"I feel honored that someone of the caliber of Christopher finds my work to be capable of inspiring a work of art," Gillespie told us.
The two host a special dinner this Sunday at Woodfire Grill, where the dining room has stayed packed since Gillespie's strong showing on the cooking reality show. He told us not long ago that while the restaurant probably could cram in a few extra diners, he prefers to eschew the easy profit to ensure every diner has a magnificent experience.
This Sunday's event, with limited seating, is your shot at having the star chef feed you himself, then chitchat a bit in between courses. The reception starts at 6:30 p.m., with a four-course dinner to follow.
The event will also serve as the unveiling of Christopher M.'s body of work depicting Gillespie and his team at Woodfire, where he is executive chef.
The artist's past works include similar pieces of Chef Kevin Rathbun. This Kevin, given all his tattoos, made an especially colorful subject.
To make reservations for Sunday's dinner and art unveiling call Woodfire at 404-347-9055 . It's $135 per person.

I am sure Kevin Gillespie is a great chef but I am positive that there are about 2000 restaurants in the Atlanta area that have great chefs also and I would love to see the AJC stop kissing Chef Gillespie's ass and start showing some of the other talent in the Atlanta area….ummmm how about that….

An awesome site for street styles!
This site offers a plethora of looks from cute to sportive to casual to elegant… you get the gist.
Definitely check out this site for inspirations!
Sherrilyn Kenyon — The Guardian
There you are, standing alone
in a place where boundless darkness reign.
You seemed so lost, like a child
waiting for a direction,
or a marionette,
waiting for its master to play you
then the haunting notes of the piano begins,
its origin unknown…
a beat, two,
its pounding staccato seems to seep into your soul,
You make me sad,
with your melancholy arabesque;
It reminds me of the love that was lost
at the beginning of winter,
when everything just seem to die,
But then your master changed the tune,
It is light and sprightly,
like the air in spring,
the season of love;
As with the music, your movement change too;
suddenly you are lost no longer.
Your master have arrived,
and he played you so well,
he played you so gracefully,
that your glides are
fragile and delicate like a swan
yet at the same time,
sleek and strong like a tiger;
Your merry pirouette,
brings smile into my face,
Your lively grand jete,
brings hope into my life,
hope for a future love;
I thank you for this hope;
and I'm sorry, but
I must go now,
I must go and run after my love!
But don't worry,
I'll be back
and hopefully then,
we'll both perform an act of love,
instead of heartache.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Investors should buy the bonds of Ford Motor Co. and cement maker Lafarge SA in "pair trades" of U.S. and European credits, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.
The analysts recommended investors add Ford's $1.1 billion 12 percent notes and cash in Peugeot SA's 8.375 percent bonds maturing in 2014. Investors should also sell Vulcan Materials Co.'s 6.4 percent notes due 2017 in order to buy the 7.625 percent issue of Paris-based Lafarge, the world's biggest cement producer, strategists led by London-based Andrew Sheets wrote in a research note on Oct. 28.
Ford, the second-largest U.S. automaker, has "lower leverage and exposure to a reasonably strong auto market at home while Peugeot relies on western Europe for 73 percent of its sales where the risk of recession is higher," according to Morgan Stanley analysts.
Ford's bonds are quoted at 398 basis points more than U.S. Treasuries while Peugeot's notes are at 425 basis points more than government debt, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Lafarge's bonds are quoted at 129 basis points per turn of leverage, compared with 63 basis points on the bonds of Birmingham, Alabama-based Vulcan, which makes concrete and asphalt mix.

Three Tips for Smart Bagging
Hey, thanks for using BagTheWeb! We are continuously working to improve the site. During the past months, we worked on upgrading our site from low version development language to higher version one in order to improve performances. In the next few months we will release a big makeover to the user interface to make it cleaner and faster, and hopefully make everyone happy.
Recently more and more users ask us how to better using Bags for their purpose. Today we start sharing a series of Bagging tips with you.
Update Bag It bookmarklet
The Bag It bookmarklet is a tool that makes it easy to add webpages and bags into your bags. Best of all, you can use it from anywhere on the web, not just on BagTheWeb.com.
If you have installed the Bag It bookmarklet onto your browser, it should work fine now. If you use Chrome browser and find the Bag It bookmarklet does not work. You may go the following page and re-install it.
Upgraded rich media embedding feature
The rich media embedding feature has been upgraded to support more than 23 major sources. Check this demo bag to see the list:
All you need to do is adding a link to a bag, and the video or photo will be recognized automatically and become embedded into the bag. You can also use the Bag It bookmarklet too.
Use Re-bagging for discovery
You probably know we have already added a feature called Re-bagging.
The idea of Re-bagging is very simple. If you see a link item in any bag, just click the Rebag button below the link. Then you can add this link item to your bags. The following bag guides you in using this feature.
Join the Bagging community
One more thing. If you are on Google+, you are welcome to join our Bagging community on GOOGLE+.
Next week, we will share more useful bagging tips with you.
Improved Hashtag function, Links page, Text-only mode, and Print button
Hey, the holiday season is around the corner! While you are busy putting up Christmas trees and shopping for gifts for family and friends, BagTheWeb is working on another update to provide you with an improved Hashtag function and three other new features. Here is a brief introduction of these cool things.
1. Improved Hashtag
The new hashtag feature is more powerful than the old one. Now it can (1) help you organize your bags, (2) help you explore other people's bags, (3) make the whole system smarter.
- A new bag description field that allows hashtagging. You can add hashtags by editing the bag description field even before publishing your bags.
- Recommending bags with hashtags. If you are updating bags you created a while ago, you can recommend them to your followers with hashtags that describe the newest links you are adding. You can also use hashtags to recommend bags created by others.
- Commenting on bags with hashtags. The comment field also allows hashtags now. If you see a bag that do not have appropriate hashtags yet, you can add hashtags to it via the comment field. This way, you "push" this bag onto the public hashtag page and make it easier for other users to find.
- Filter by hashtags. Now you can see a "filter by hashtags" button on all users' bagspace pages. You can click this button and choose a hashtag to filer bags users created and recommended. On your bagspace, the "filter by hashtags" button can be found on the All Bags page, Draft Bags page, Published Bags page, Private Bags page, Recommendations page, and Favorites page.
- Improved public hashtag page. A public hashtag page now has two new choices: (1) "tags that may be related" at the sidebar; (2) a personal hashtag section. If you click a hashtag from one user's profile, you will see three sections: "by all", "by this user", and "by you".
- Two groups of hashtags on profile page. We separate the hashtags you have used into two groups: (1) Hashtags used on your bags, and (2) Hashtags used on others' bags.
2. Links page
The newly added Links page under your bagspace is a private page like Favorite page. Only you can see this page at your bagspace. The Links page displays all links you bagged under four categories: all, draft, published, and private.
The Links page has two view modes. The default mode is Simple view which only displays Links' titles and dates. The Expand view adds link's description and shows the titles of bags where the link resides.
The Links page allows users to Export links as a HTML file. Also, users can search for links there.
3. Text-only mode
Even without signing in to our website, you can now see a text-only mode of a bag page.
The text-only mode allows you to copy visual or HTML format of all links within a bag. Then you can paste these links to your blog, text file, email edit box or other files.
4. Print button on a bag page
The Comment button at the right top corner of a bag page has been replaced by a Print button. Now you can print all links within a bag.
If you want to make the world greener, you can use this button only when you have to do it. For example, if you build a bag for your trip, it's still useful to have a paper copy of it in hand to view the information while you do not have web access.
OK, that's our introduction. Even the new features seem useful, we still want to see how much you like them and thus are eager to hear your feedback.
You may want to check out the following bags to see screenshots.

2011 is a wonderful year. Thanks to all of you for staying here with us through the year. We have received many warm thank-you messages from you and learned a lot from you. We are working together to make the web more useful for the world.
Multi-bagging bookmarklet and Quick-bagging box
As you may notice we just released several new features on BagTheWeb. We are pleased to introduce them to you and hope you will find them useful.
1. Multi-bagging bookmarklet
Many users suggested that we add a "multi-bagging" capability to the bookmarklet and we listened. Now it comes! You can add a webpage link to multiple bags at one time through the "bag it" bookmarklet.
2. Quick-bagging at personal homepage
Now if you sign into our site, you will see a "Quick-bagging" box above the bagstream section where you see upcoming bags from people you follow. Just paste a URL in the Quick-bagging box, click "bag it" button, then a webpage link is already in your bag(s).
The Quick-bagging box and the Multi-bagging bookmarklet use similar user interfaces. Also, multi-bagging capability is included in the quick-bagging process.
3. New personal homepage
We also modified the personal homepage by making the sidebar more useful, providing faster access to your bags and easier exploration of the bagging community.
Together, these new features bring us a coordinated performance. We hope you will enjoy the improved bagging experience.
You may want to check out the following bags to see screenshots and tips.

Welcome to the 9/11 Curation for Memorial Channel
Today, we are glad to announce the launch of our 9/11 Curation for Memorial Channel. This day marks the tenth anniversary of the shocking 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. We have reached an important milestone.
During the past decade, people talked, debated, and thought about the changes the world is experiencing. These conversations brought tons of articles, photos, videos, presentations, tweets, and other types of contents on the Web.
Social network websites are being used as gathering places for public memorial of 9/11. People are coming together to pay tribute to the victims, share stories, and bear witness to the tragedy on these sites.
So, what's the most convenient way to curate these fragmented materials? Can we weave a 9/11 Web together?
We believe that collective social content curating efforts will build a "good web" where contents are better interconnected, easier to find, to share and to use. And we are excited BagTheWeb is part of this powerful trend.
The 9/11Curation for Memorial Channel aims to provide you with an easy way to collect, preserve, present, and share the history of September 11, 2011 and its aftermath. You can use "bags" to curate 9/11 related web contents from your personal angle, and then submit your bags to the channel.
Are you a 9/11 Curator?
Join us to build a large online museum for the past and for the future.
Let's weave a 9/11 Web together.
How to contribute a related bag
If you are interested in 9/11-related topics and would like to contribute to this channel, please consider submitting bags by using one of the following methods:
1. Use "Suggest related bags" box
2. Recommend bags simply by add a hashtag #911
Qualified bags will be selected as featured bags by our curators. It's amazing what we can work on this together!
Participate without signing up
If you don't want to sign up, you can follow @BagTheGOOD who is the curator of this channel on Twitter.com and send him a tweet "I'd like to be a #911 curator on @BagTheWeb".
We will DM you the user name and password of "911Curator" account at BagTheWeb.
BagTheWeb helps educators and students in learning
Houston, TX, February 4, 2011. BagTheWeb, the leading social bagging community site, today released a new feature on its site called Education Channel, to better serve teachers, students, researchers, and lifelong learners. The main channel page showcases interesting bags used for education and active educator baggers as well.
Education has always been a major application focus of the site. With bag's powerful and easy to use features, teachers can collect teaching materials into bags for students to study and to assign homework. Students can build bags to collect information for their courses and to create projects. Researchers can bag what they discover from the Web and share knowledge with colleagues. Lifelong learners can keep their passion on interesting topics by bagging towards a personal knowledge base.
Recently, some teachers and students at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Oak Park, Illinois, started using bags for their reading projects. A group of fifth-grade students were asked to build bags collecting webpage links about social photojournalist Lewis Hine and embed them into their blog pages with a short essay to reply questions on Lewis Hine.
"Emerging technologies promote changes in the process of human learning. Social networking tools bring us a new learning environment and rewire our brains. We are excited to add a technology piece to help. It is good to know that even fifth-graders are building and using bags for their studies. Understanding is important in the process of human learning. Our tool is designed to help understand the meaning of information instead of remembering every piece of information," said Gordon Wu, CEO of BagTheWeb.
The new Education Channel allows users to submit education-related bags and BagTheWeb's curators will feature them on the channel after review. Also, active educators will be featured there. Via the Education Channel, these contents can reach a broader audience and thus benefit the entire education community.
How do fifth-grade students use bags for learning reading?
Recently I saw a user account called Lincolnreading1 that had published four bags on the same topic: Lewis Hine, an American sociologist and photographer. Hine used his camera as a tool for social reform, and his photographs were instrumental in changing the child labor laws in the United States.
I remembered this user had published similar bags. Sometimes the bag title was Lewis Hine, the man behind the camera; sometimes it was just names, such as Bob or Cassie.
The repeated occurrences puzzled me. Who is the person behind the user account
Lincolnreading1? Why did he create so many bags on Lewis Hine? Is he a photographer? How does he use those bags? Is he a history teacher?
After checking out our site's Google Analytics account, we figured out what was going on, and it really excited us. We would like to share the story with you here.
Mr. K, the man behind the account Lincolnreading1, is a teacher at Lincoln School in Oak Park, Illinois. He is leading a group of fifth-grade students experimenting with new technology by participating in global collaborative projects. On Jan 2, 2011, Mr. K published a blog post on Fifth-Grade Accelerated Reading @ Lincoln blog and asked his students to create projects on Lewis Hine. Let's see what he said in that post:

Wow! This is amazing! Before we launched BagTheWeb, Gordon said to me that teachers could use bags in their teaching. They could create a bag on a project and ask students to create their own bags. These bags could link together.
Emerging technologies promote change in the model of human learning. Social networking tools bring us a new learning environment and rewire our brain. We are honored to join the movement. It is so simple to build bags that fifth-grade students can use for their reading learning. Our site can help people collect and organize websites and pages; however, it does more than that.
People often surf the web and find good stuff they would like to read later. They re-find it later through a social bookmarking tool. In contrast, social bagging, that is, people collecting relevant webpage links into bags, is for understanding. If users don't understand the links and the relationship between links, they can't build good bags. We believe understanding is important during the process of human learning. Our tool is designed to help understand information instead of remembering every piece of information.
We are excited about the way Mr. K and the group of fifth-grade students use bags. We also notice more and more teachers are starting using our site. The good news is that we are working on a new feature for educators. We hope that our efforts with BagTheWeb can benefit teachers, students, life-long learners, and researchers.
New Bag Page: A Wider Layout for Networked Curation
During last several weeks, we were working on a new bag page design to improve the user experience on our site. Today all our bags get a new look. Beyond most curation tools' capability, BagTheWeb enables users to build networks of bags. This way bags can be linked together to provide rich and complete information about any topic. The new bag page design aims to bring you an effortless way of building networked curation.
Here is a brief description on the new bag page and other changes.
1. Fixed, two-column layout
Instead of expanding tabs, now every bag page has a fixed, two-column layout, for both public view and editing modes.
For bag readers, the current webpage links section is wider than the old one. The wider layout brings a more eye-friendly browsing and reading experience.
This is also good for bag creators who can see exactly what a bag will look like when it's published, without switching between edit and view modes.
2. Recommendation and Hashtags
The new layout moves the recommend button under the bag icon and separates it from the regular share buttons. This makes the recommend button more outstanding to encourage you to share more interesting bags to your followers, no matter if you are the bag's creator or not.
The recommend box uses a pop-up window. You can write additional comments comfortably with a bigger edit box while you are recommending a bag.
Hashtags people used are also displayed at the bag summary as a part of the identity of a bag. It is useful for bag readers to explore more related bags through the hashtag page.
3. Always display bag links section
If a bag doesn't have any bag links, the old design hides the whole bag links section from the bag page. The new layout always display the bag links section. The result is that bag pages have a consistent, easy to read layout.
4. New Picture inserting interface
We implemented a new, more user-friendly process for uploading a picture. Now you can insert a picture three ways: upload from your computer, grab a publicly available image URL, or select from a set of images found on a particular webpage. For bag icon, user icon, and post's picture, you can use the first 2 methods but not the last.
5. Display popular hashtags at the top of explore page
Hashtags people used when they recommend bags is a great way to explore quality bags. The new explore page displays a cluster of popular hashtags at the top.
6. Support more rich media contents
Bags will automatically display rich media content, such as video and photos, originated from certain sites. Check out the following list to see what site we are supporting:
– YouTube.com
– Vimeo.com
– TED.com
– SlideShare.com
– TechCrunch.tv
– Ustream.tv
– 5min.com
– Flickr.com
All you need to do is add a link to a bag, and the video or photo will be recognized automatically and become embedded into the bag. We will add more sites to the supported list soon.
Try it yourself to see if the above change if it is more friendly, helpful, and fun to you. As always, we are eager to hear what you, our baggers, think about these new changes. Click on the "feedback" link at the bottom of any page and tell us what you think.
Service Back to Normal. Thank You!
After two days of intense work, we finally reinstalled all the pieces needed for running BagTheWeb onto a much more reliable server environment. Hopefully, this will prevent future interruptions from happening.
During the past two days, we got a lot of inquiries from our users. We really appreciate all your interest and encouragement!
We are very sorry for the temporarily down. Now everything is fine. All of your accounts' information and data are safe.
Thank you for your patience and support. We will continuously improve the performance of our site and present you more useful features.
BagTheWeb is temporarily down
Due to an unexpected server problem, our site is down for the time being. We are working hard on its recovery to make the service back to normal as soon as possible.

2 Narendra Modi and Shashi Tharoor become BFFs
The long standing fued between the two charismatic leaders dissolved over a session of high tea and playful banter , after Narendra Modi's wife (she was discovered in a bunker under Modi's home by the CBI) invited the Tharoors over. NaMo and Shashi exchanged notes on how to get more Twitter followers(roughly 50 crore more) and even messed around with the idea of a joint Twitter account NaMoShaT. The Mrs also bonded big time when Mrs Modi taught Sunanda Tharoor how to make the perfect theplas and in turn she got free make-up tutorials.

What a bargain! Where else can you get something these days for a nickel? With the cost of services and products on the rise, it's nice to know that one cost has remained the same for almost 50 years. How many businesses do you know of that can say that? Of course, I'm referring to the overdue fines at MCPL; only a nickel a day per item.

Usually I am a good library steward. When I receive a book that I know others are waiting for, I read that one quickly and get it back way before the due date. I say "usually" because that is not always the case. Sometimes, I find a book I really like and that gets moved to the top of my read list even if I've had other books in my possession longer. I do not always read books in the order that I check them out. I also have a personal policy of not returning an overdue book if I'm more than halfway into it.

With improved customer service finding new emphasis in many boardrooms–and aftermarket support becoming a growing revenue source–Safran subsidiaries Turbomeca and Sagem Avionics recently unveiled plans that highlight the roles technology can and will play in delivering support services.
Scott's-Bell 47 (SB47, Booth No. 7422) has selected the Sagem (Booth No. 2814) ICDS-8A glass cockpit suite as part of the standard avionics package for the new 47GT-6 helicopter.
Scott's-Bell 47 selected the Sagem ICDS-8A glass cockpit suite as part of the standard avionics package for the new 47GT-6 helicopter. This selection is the latest in a series of developments geared at bringing the turbine-powered 47GT-6 closer to production.
Six suppliers contribute to Snecma's Silvercrest: Aircelle (Safran), nacelle and thrust reverser; Techspace Aero (Safran), lubrication unit, booster, forward sump;
Sagem (Safran), electronic control unit; Liebherr Aerospace, bleed-air system;
Hamilton Sundstrand (UTC AS), accessory gear box; Woodward, fuel pump metering unit, actuators.
Three of the four Sukhoi T-50 prototypes now flying came together in formation over the Moscow Air Show at Zhukovsky this week. According to the organizers of MAKS 2013, one-third of the more than 1,000 exhibiting companies were from abroad.
On static display at this week's Paris Air Show was the Patroller, a new Male UAV that Safran subsidiary Sagem has developed from the German Stemme S15 motor-glider. Competing against the Thales Watchkeeper, Sagem will field the Patroller to meet a French Army requirement for 30 tactical UAVs. The Watchkeeper has generated more publicity, but Sagem is quietly suggesting that its long-winged contender is better.
On static display at the Paris Air Show is the Patroller, a new medium-altitude long-endurance (Male) UAV, which has been developed by Sagem from the German Stemme S15 motor glider. The Safran subsidiary will propose it for a French Army requirement for 30 tactical UAVs, and it will compete against the Thales Watchkeeper. The latter has received more publicity, but Sagem is quietly suggesting that its long-winged bird is better.
While the looming threat of budget sequestration kept more than a few aerospace executives up at night, Safran USA president Peter Lengyel spent most of his waking hours preparing his company for any eventuality. That doesn't mean he welcomed the prospect of drastic spending cuts to medevac services, law enforcement and border patrol. After all, the U.S. federal government is, in effect, Safran's biggest customer.
Safran USA (Booth No. 2579) is flexing some considerable muscle here at the convention, showing a diverse role in the business aircraft market that stretches from nose to tail and wingtip to wingtip. Among the aviation products available from this global conglomerate are turbofan engines, nacelles, thrust reversers, landing gear, wheels and brakes, auxiliary power units, avionics, navigation systems, flight controls and wiring.
Sagem, part of France's Safran Group, and Germany's MTU Aero Engine have formed a 50-50 joint venture company for equipment control software and hardware. Dubbed Aerospace Embedded Solutions (AES), the new company will provide "safety-critical" products for military and civil aviation with applications including engines, landing gear and thrust reversers.

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WECT) - The military is counting down the days until Carolina Beach vacates land owned by Sunny Point.
Members of the Army Corps recently met with town leaders to see how the move is going, and they say it's headed in the right direction.
Most of the items are gone, but the town still needs to find space for its dumpsters and fleet maintenance. They are also looking at outsourcing those two items.
Carolina Beach has until Dec. 31 to clear out.

Lack of support: Snowboarder Belle Brockhoff. Photo: Getty Images
The father of controversial snowboarder Belle Brockhoff said he sold his Winter Olympics tickets in disgust because of what he believed to be a lack of support and recognition for his daughter.
Bruce Brockhoff emailed an open letter after his daughter finished eighth in the snowboard cross event in Sochi, outlining a raft of complaints against the Australian Olympic Committee and its national winter sports arm, the Olympic Winter Institute.
Amongst his issues were that he believed Belle did not have access to the same training facilities and physiotherapy services as other team members and that another snowboarder in the team received the benefits of Alex Chumpy Pullin's 'A' level scholarship at the OWI because he travelled with him.
He also outlined what he said were funding discrepancies in the team.
In a long and at times rambling letter, he was highly critical of a number of Australian officials and coaches.
"I am making this statement to explain why I sold my tickets to Sochi and cancelled my accommodation on a Norwegian cruise liner in protest over the lack of support and recognition for my daughter Belle," he said in the statement.
It was not immediately clear whether Belle supported his comments.
The AOC said it would respond in detail to the issues raised after the men's snowboard cross race on Monday afternoon in which Pullin, a two-time world champion, is favourite.
Belle Brockhoff is part of a group of Australian athletes in Sochi who had been using the sign off #teamoutcast on their social media accounts in the lead-up to the Games.
Brockhoff, fellow snowboard cross athlete Jarryd Hughes, halfpipe silver medallist Torah Bright and park and 'pipe rider Scotty James are part of the group.
They had questioned the funding and scholarship models used by the OWI but their claims have been rejected by it and the AOC.
The AOC said that Bright and James had both turned down scholarships while Hughes and Brockhoff receive funding commensurate with their results.
Brockhoff has one podium finish at a World Cup while Hughes won his first top level race in Canada in December last year.
Belle Brockhoff had already found herself in the spotlight at these Games, the openly lesbian athlete outspoken about Russian president Vladimir Putin's anti-gay laws.

Pavlov's method of studying the normal, healthy animal in natural conditions made possible his contributions to science. He was able to formulate the idea of the conditioned reflex because of his ability to reduce a complex situation to the simple terms of an experiment. Recognizing that in so doing he omitted the subjective component, he insisted that it was not possible to deal with mental phenomena scientifically except by reducing them to measurable physiological quantities.
Although Pavlov's work laid the basis for the scientific analysis of behaviour, and notwithstanding his stature as a scientist and physiologist, his work was subject to certain limitations. Philosophically, while recognizing the preeminence of the subjective and its independence of scientific methods, he did not, in his enthusiasm for science, clarify or define this separation. Clinically, he accepted uncritically psychiatric views concerning schizophrenia and paranoia, and he adopted such neural concepts as induction and irradiation as valid for higher mental activity. Many psychiatrists now consider his explanations too limited, and some neurophysiologists have taken greater interest in other developments, such as electrophysiology and biochemistry. In contrast to Sherrington, he has had few prominent students outside Russia. His method of working with the normal, healthy, unanesthetized animal over its entire life has not been generally accepted in physiology.

Super Rugby 2013 finals preview: Who to watch for on the Brumbies
Canberra Times rugby writer Chris Dutton looks at a couple of ACT Brumbies players who will help decide who wins the Super Rugby final.PT1M25S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2r0m9 620 349 August 1, 2013

The ACT Brumbies have named an unchanged line-up for the third consecutive week as they aim for Super Rugby glory in Hamilton on Saturday night.
Brumbies coach Jake White has put his faith in the same 22-man squad which won the first two finals against the Free State Cheetahs and the Pretoria Bulls.
The Brumbies will play against the Waikato Chiefs in the Super Rugby final.

The club is chasing its third championship.
White could have easily been tempted to tinker with his starting XV after a brutal match against the Bulls in South Africa last weekend.
But the World Cup-winning mentor is opting for continuity over freshness to try to topple the defending champions at their home ground.

The Brumbies have had a brutal travel schedule over the past three weeks.
They've been in three different countries, four different time zones and travelled almost 30,000 kilometres to reach their goal of making the final.
Veteran flanker George Smith will have the opportunity for a fairytale send off.
Smith made a comeback to Australian rugby at the start of the year when he filled a short-term deal to be on the Brumbies' roster.
But when David Pocock ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament, Smith extended his stay.
He will return to his Japanese club Suntory almost immediately after the final against the Chiefs.
Smith played in the Brumbies' two championships in 2001 and 2004.
White is also sticking by rejuvenated winger Clyde Rathbone to add valuable experience and calmness to the starting side.
Rathbone, 32, played in the 2004-winning side and ended a three-year retirement to rejoin the squad this season.
Wallabies winger Joseph Tomane will again start on the bench and add X-factor in the second half.

The hourly pay gap between women and men has narrowed to 16 cents today, compared with 36 cents in 1980. But progress has slowed in recent years and even reversed for many women over the course of their careers.

I don't know if it's the recent changes to heirloom itemization, the addition of the chest heirloom, the changes to resilience to reduce all damage (I'm using the pvp staff), but I am simply not dying while levelling my priest (19 now). I've only died twice: once learning that priest bubbles don't protect you from falling damage (my main is a pally), and the second time right after when I rezzed in the middle of 3 mobs. Sometimes when I've got 2 or 3 mobs on me it can get close. Healbot definitely helps for coordinating all the "keep me alive" tools. And psychic scream helps, although sometimes they bring back friends. :/
My only real complaint is mana...constantly drinking is annoying.

|Each time when I select a column in the hint dialog, that appears after typing the name of a table, the focus is lost from the Query input box. I'm always working on a dual screen setup. After loosing the focus, it is set on the taskbar. I'am able to reproduce the problem on another Windows 7 PC and using the latest Heidi revision.

Prostitution: One of Welfare Reform's Unintended Consequences
While waiting in my car for a funeral repast to begin at a fraternal function hall, I noticed two young women, in their late teens or early 20s, lounging together on a stone wall at the edge of a large neighborhood park. They were wearing tight jeans and lightweight blouses that left more exposed than concealed, a revealing style of dress unremarkable in this age of excessive openness about everything.
ABC's "THE BACHELOR" FRANCHISE SUED FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
Nashville residents Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson, an All-American football player and an aspiring National Football League player, respectively, filed a lawsuit against the popular ABC reality television programs "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" for intentional exclusion of persons of color over the course of 23 seasons. The men, both of whom are African-American, are requesting class action status for the case.
CONGO: Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste
The "Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste" has been in existence for fifteen years. Initially a few dozen music-loving amateurs shared the few instruments they had at their disposal. Rehearsals were organised in shifts so that everyone could have a turn. Today there are over two hundred musicians on the platform when the "OSK" gives a concert.
Would Zimmerman Have Been Arrested Sooner if Trayvon Had Been White?
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – African-Americans are more than twice as likely as non-Blacks to believe that if 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had been White, his killer would have been arrested rather than set free, according to a new USAToday/Gallup Poll. Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, as he was walking back to a townhouse in Sanford, Fla. on Feb. 26 with a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona tea. Zimmerman, described by police as White and pictured by relatives as Latino, was taken into custody for questioning and then released.
When Love Hurts, Your Brain Feels The Pain
Have you ever been in a relationship that came to an abrupt end? If so, you fully understand why heartbreak is an appropriate description of what you felt. You don't have to be left at the altar to feel intense feelings of rejection. Maybe a friendship fades away or ends in misunderstanding or a 'falling out.' Heartbreak takes many forms when love appears to be lost. The worst part can be living with the pain of rejection.

I'm obviously a big fan of online marketing, but there is no way that B2C marketers are allocating 56% of their marketing budget for online marketing. 6% maybe, not 56%!!!
eMarketer provides a subtle caveat…
Though undoubtedly skewed somewhat by MarketingSherpa's readership — including marketers in e-commerce, multichannel retail, travel/hospitality and financial services — the survey's respondents reported that overall online advertising accounted for a large part of their budgets
"Skewed somewhat"?? How about skewed a WHOLE lot. Oh well, I'm sure us SEMs will use the chart in our proposals to show would-be clients that they need to spend more online and catch-up with their peers.
