text: DigitalDial Global Brings Back WestwoodOne NameWill the brand hold sway with consumers?By Lucia Moses|September 4, 2013 ShareBy Lucia Moses|September 4, 2013 Share Radio syndicator Dial Global is better known for its programs from the NFL, Nascar and the Grammys and others, but like other radio broadcasters, it's trying to raise its profile in the face of growing competition from satellite and Internet radio services. So today (ahead of its sale to Cumulus Media) Dial renamed itself WestwoodOne, the onetime radio giant it bought in 2011. Paul Caine, who left Time Inc. in March to become Dial's CEO, explains the change and why he thinks radio still has a great opportunity in a fragmented audio market. It has been two years since Dial Global bought Westwood One. Why change the name now? Dial Global has a very strong and respected position in the audio marketplace, and there's a high brand recall among people working in the audio world. The broader advertising and consumer community didn't have the same relationship with Dial Global. By having to explain who we are, it limited the potential of where we think the company could go. Westwood had consumer recall. For many years, it was a branded radio network. By going under the brand name of WestwoodOne, with the launch of the new NFL season, we built on the strength of the audio marketplace and those who are on the outside. For young consumers, the name probably means even less. There's a growing group of consumers who don't know the name of the network, but we see that as an opportunity. We're going to build an affinity with consumers who don't have a past affinity with the brand. Consumers spend roughly a third of their day listening to audio. We believe sound and audio can play a large role in [advertisers'] marketing objectives. Beyond the name change, what's your plan to grow the company? Dial has had a whole host of financial problems, from revenue being in decline, debt, its stock delisting, competition. Dial Global's history has really been very positive as it relates to content, advertisers, its position in the radio market. The work I've been doing is about building on those strengths and broadening it as the market continues to shift. We're excited about growing our base of content and broadening out into digital and mobile. When people can stream a game on their smartphones, and listen to music on satellite or Internet radio, why do they need terrestrial radio? We think terrestrial radio has, absolutely, a future. What we're most excited about is not the decline of any one platform but the growth of the medium. Mobile and digital continue to be an opportunity to get people to listen in more and more places. Satellite continues to be an important medium. But it boils down to the strength of content. Sharehttp://adweek.it/1efhLlU copy Adweek Adweek

Hey All – Are there any artists out there? I am looking for a tattoo concept drawing. Although I love the infected series, I do not want a hatchling on my skin but some of the alien species from the GFL series or something from The Crypt might catch my attention. Only issue is thus far the only drawings I see are very cartoony (or should it be cartoonie?).
Anyways, anything would be helpful, I am actually quite shocked there aren't more sketches out there considering all the Junkies on this site. Tisk Tisk all you skilled artists out there.
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Why the protest over more U.S. milk in Canada?
It's mainly because of a hormone given to some U.S. cows, rBST, to increase milk production. It wasn't approved for use in Canada because of concerns over possible health effects on cows. Milk containing rBST is already sold here and different labels aren't required. If you want all-Canadian milk, look for a blue-and-white Dairy Farmers of Canada logo.
More online shopping is duty free
If you shop online you might be relieved to learn that the amount you can buy duty free from the U.S. and bring into Canada has been increased under the new USMCA (NAFTA 2.0) from $20 to $150. And more good news, you can now spend up to $40 before paying sales taxes.
New, cheap flights to Mexico
One of Canada's ultra-low-cost airlines is now offering flights to Mexico. Swoop has started selling flights from Hamilton or Abbotsford, B.C., to Puerto Vallarta for $159. Of course, that base fare doesn't include additional costs for luggage, Wi-Fi or premium seat selection. The sunny-destination flights start in January.
How much pot can you pack?
Once it's legalized on Oct. 17, travellers can bring 30 grams of cannabis on domestic flights. Wonder how much that is? Well, that's 60 joints that can be legally stashed in your bags (if you're joints are half-grams). "I expected it to be a lot more strict, so 30 grams is awesome," the regional manager of B.C. dispensary Weeds says.
What else is going on
A malware attack forced many chain restaurants to close earlier this week. Restaurants hit by the outage included Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, Milestones, Kelseys, Montana's, Bier Markt and East Side Mario's.
Rising interest rates and debt levels aren't putting the brakes on plans for holiday spending, according to an annual report from accounting firm PwC. It found consumers will spend an average of $1,563 this year, up 3.7 per cent from 2017. Most of the money reportedly goes toward travel, followed by gifts and entertainment.
This week in recalls and warnings
There are concerns about the airbag inflators on some Honda vehicles; Some EpiPen injectors may not work properly; This EQ3 chair could break from its stem; Loblaws chicken fries could contain salmonella and there are packaging concerns with these frozen vegetables.

No Complications
As you'd imagine, an essentially gentle homage to the title's man of comfortable Country, nothing in these references to peacefulness and simplicity meant as negatives.
It is a set of fine songs, and a set of fine other Country stars contribute, often as duets as the track list and artists show:
1. "Tulsa Time" - Pistol Annies
2. "I Believe in You" - Brandy Clark
3. "We've Got a Good Fire Goin'" - Lady Antebellum
4. "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend" - Dierks Bentley
5. "Amanda" - Chris Stapleton feat. Morgane Stapleton
6. "Till The Rivers All Run Dry" - Alison Krauss
7. "Love Is On A Roll" - John Prine feat. Roger Cook
8. "If I Needed You" - Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires
9. "Maggie's Dream" - Trisha Yearwood
10. "Lord I Hope This Day is Good" - Keb' Mo'
11. "Good Ole Boys Like Me" - Garth Brooks
There is a reasonable spread within the gentility to emphasise tonal shifts: the roar of Chris Stapleton in a live cover to the sublime serenity of Alison Krauss. There is a distinctive cover from Isbell and Shires, inimitable of the inimitable, to attempt a complex summary of the uncomplicated.

Internships offer employers a huge pipeline into tomorrow's talent in a way that's also beneficial for interns. Young interns are getting a chance to apply academic, classroom knowledge to a real-world setting and potentially test drive unexplored career directions.
Internships can be structured in such a way that's both fun and productive. You have the chance to hone interns' work skills and potentially shape them into a future employee. At the same time, you're giving them the freedom to explore a few different avenues within the field they're interested in. It's a nice mixture of hands-on experience, skill development, open-ended exploration, and benefit to your organization.
Planning and conducting an internship program also gives employers a chance to mold tomorrow's talent from the beginning. Research out of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) shows that, among over 15,000 upperclassmen who embarked in paid internships, well over half received full-time job offers. Takeaway: clearly internships are working for most employers!
Internships are Gateways to Great Careers
Other findings from the National Association of Colleges and Employers are also enlightening. The association looked at the kinds of things that made interns rate their experience as very or extremely satisfying versus partially or completely unsatisfying. It turns out that when you have interns spend more time on administrative, routine or inessential tasks they're more apt to find the experience unsatisfying. No big surprises there!
The more time spent on problem-solving tasks that students' felt had a positive impact on the organizations, the more satisfied were the interns. Interns also looked for more structure in internships since they ended up more deeply appreciating internships that placed a heavy emphasis on project management. Creating specific goals for your internship and facilitating a sense of teamwork, therefore, are hugely beneficial steps every internship program should incorporate today.
Fostering more internship satisfaction through more structured environments, a greater emphasis on problem solving tasks, and fostering a sense of teamwork is important for another reason. Doing so increases the chances that the interns that create the most favorable impression – i.e., the best interns – will actually accept the full-time job offers that they're extended. In the NACE study mentioned above, interns were above seven times more likely to accept a job offer depending on their satisfaction levels with the internship experience.
You Get What You Put In With Interns
Many employers are hesitant to take on interns. They feel they won't be beneficial or that they will be too much work. But nurturing your intern is worthwhile. Given the right structure and project management, interns can do everything from lending a few fresh perspectives to supplementing a short-handed staff with more input. Almost any corporate culture, given enough time, can develop routine ways of going about problems and silo mentalities in which departments aren't communicating or sharing as well as they could be.
Interns can come in and really shake things up: In a good way! You'd be surprised how often simply explaining to someone how you complete a task or approach a problem can lead you to think, "maybe there's a more efficient way to go about this." Moreover, interns are frequently the ones making the suggestions themselves, which is why it's important that interns are matched up with mentors who can provide a sense of structure and trust.
Hiring interns also gives you unique advantages like potentially increasing your brand exposure and social media presence. Interns are going to be chatting among themselves and their friends when it comes to spreading the news about their recent situation; if it's truly positive, then there's also a great chance that they'll be brand advocates for your company on social media and in real life.

|Our Amanda pose
A couple of firsts around here:
- On a run the other day pushing Goober in the jogger I had someone yell out "MILF!" from a passing vehicle. It was pretty funny and made me laugh (kind of flattering too?). Glad they didn't wake up the Goob though. Better than an obnoxious HONK. ;)
- I pulled/strained a muscle in my back....taking off my tight sports bra after a run. WTH? When did I become an old woman? It took my breath away and hurt like a mo fo, so much so that Travis stayed home with me the next day because picking up Goober was not an easy task. :( It's a little better, but feels tweaky at times. Looks like I need to step up the weight training!
- Planning my first high school reunion (or helping plan it). It's really been 10 years already? It's a stressful task.
- Getting sued. Nothing we did wrong though. :(
- Considering moving the fam to my Dad's house temporarily. Oh boy.
That sums up some of the events in the household.
As for improvising, since I don't own a "Stick" or foam roller, I decided to try out my own tool: the rolling pin. Rolled out my calves after a couple runs, and it feels so good!
|Roll, roll, roll your calves...

Now for the sewing part. In the spirit of Pendleton and Hudson Bay, I made two camp blankets. These are meant for camping, snuggling under at football games or singing around the campfire. They're cut by width of fabric, so they measure about 44 inches across, but are about 60 inches long. You need 1/4 yard of fabric for the colored stripes and about 1 1/4 yards for the background.
Since everything is cut by Width Of Fabric, there are no seams in the stripes, just piece the strips together and you're done!
The white one is made with Kona Snow, the darker one with Essex dyed linen. The colored stripes are a combo of Kona and American Made solid cottons.
If you want to make one do this:
Cut 2 white (for each end, top and bottom) 5.5" x WOF
Cut 6 white strips 3" by WOF
Cut 2 each of black, yellow, red and green solid, 3"x WOF
Cut 1 white (middle) 15.5" x WOF
Sew a top section in this order:
One 5.5" white (This is your top or bottom end piece)
black strip
white 3"strip
yellow strip
white 3" strip
red strip
white 3" strip
green strip
Now make a bottom section in the same order as the top.
Then sew the top section to the middle white 15.5" piece, then sew the bottom section to that. The middle piece should have a green stripe on either side of it. Done!
I chose a plaid flannel for the backing on the dark blanket, and a deer print from Birch fabrics for the white one.
As soon as this miserable heatwave is over I can snuggle with them. Fall is still a couple of weeks away yet for us. Looking forward to rain, wind, and cooler temperatures, just about anything Mother Nature has to throw at us that doesn't involve sweating.
*The dark blanket has wider stripes than the white because I wasn't paying attention and cut all the white and solid strips 3 1/2" instead of 3". Ooops.

The kata review in Karate last night went well, even though I was tired and nervous so didn't perform at my best. Anyway, Sensei said I've come a long way, thanked me for my patience, and gave me two more stripes. Yay! I'm only two stripes away from being a black belt in a second art, which is a scary thought.
Been putting in long runs this week in preparation for the half-marathon. I've been plagued by sore hamstrings for two weeks now, which is frustrating. As I told Dr. Z, running through sore muscles is tiring, painful, and just plain not fun. Anyway, I've been able to fight through it for the most part with some decent times. Monday I ran 6 miles at an 8:20 pace despite doing a spectacular faceplant (I am SO graceful) and today I ran 7 miles at an 8:17 pace. I was hoping more for an 8:10 pace with the cool, dry weather, but the sore muscles just weren't having it.
So onward with the Advil, lots of protein, and cold baths to help my hamstrings heel. Feel free to drop a line if you have any other tricks for quicker recovery.

Flow details: Coulter Elite ESP sorter, power 15mW air cooled argon, 100um nozzle, sheath straight PBS, sort speed @3000/sec, pressure @11 psi I've done several test sorts and my results indicate an increase in viability with the laser off (collecting everything) although viability still remains low.

The Academy of Art University has made a strong name for themselves in the world of secondary education. They are the largest privately owned school of its kind in the nation and the largest property holder in all of San Francisco. The school also has a number of famous alumni.
In addition to big names like fashion designer Kara Laricks and bitcoin entrepreneur Margaux Avedisian, this school was also once the stomping grounds of famous film maker Daniel Arriaga. His recent Oscar win for his work on Coco just may have elevated to the very top of this prestigious list.
Arriaga is the senior director of Pixar Studios and this is one of the most prestigious positions in all of animation. Coco allowed him to combine two of the biggest passions of his life: his love for animation and his Mexican culture.
While this school has been in existence for nearly 90 years and has seen thousands of students pass thru its hallowed halls, this might be the biggest achievement yet. In addition to their contributions to the film industry, this school is also a regular participant in New York's Fashion Week.
Arriaga has also been quick to credit the Academy of Art University for providing him with the tools that he needed to become a top notch film maker. He studied animation and art direction at the university and believes that the tutelage he received played a major role in the success that he was able to enjoy.
He was able to weave these lessons together with his own cultural history to create a film that seems destined to stand the test of time. Not only was he able to place the benefits of his educational experience on full display but he was also able to use the film as a means of dispelling falsehoods about his culture.
American audiences were finally able to learn about the true story of the Land of the Dead and El Día de los Muertos. Spreading his culture's beliefs and getting rid of the stereotypes that have continued to persist was very important to Arriaga. Film industry observers are now waiting with anticipation for Pixar's follow up project.

Just wanted to give a heads up that I'm very much still alive on this website and the tournament will be finished, for all 6 people that are waiting. I'm pretty busy over the next week, so I won't be able to get around to it, so please bare with me folks, it will get done! In the mean time, enjoy this quick photo I took last night, in honor of The Walking Dead being pretty good this season.

Valentine's Day can be a colorful, happy interlude. But for the most part, February is a series of cold, gray days, and extra-long work hours that leave me longing for Spring.
So this Shameless Commerce Tuesday I will showcase one of my Spring-y floral oven mitts, made with pretty fabrics from the Dear Stella fabric line -- perfect for Mother's Day gifting.
Perhaps after tax season I will dust off the old purple bike, and hit the bike trails. I love biking out in the country on the Mo-Pac Trail (abandoned Missouri-Pacific Railroad right-of-way) -- to feel the sun and wind on my face, and to see an ever-changing display of wildflowers. One of my latest custom orders is a request to make bicycle-themed oven mitts from four different fabrics. Here is one of my favorites by Timeless Treasures:
Time to hit the snowy trail that leads to work today.

The Bengals will be doing a little bit of shuffling on the interior of their offensive line this week.
Coach Marvin Lewis said, via Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, that right guard Kevin Zeitler should return to the lineup for the Week 14 game against the Colts. Zeitler has missed the last two games with a foot injury and the Bengals running game should benefit from getting him back.
Mike Pollak replaced Zeitler in the starting lineup the last two weeks, but he may headed back to the bench. Lewis also said that the team believes left guard Clint Boling tore his ACL in Sunday's victory over the Chargers, so the Bengals will need a new starter. Assuming that belief is confirmed, Boling will be the ninth Bengals player on injured reserve and the first offensive player to be lost for the season.
It could be Pollak or the Bengals could use the alignment they turned to on Sunday with Zeitler out of the lineup. Andrew Whitworth moved to left guard, Anthony Collins moved from right tackle to left tackle and Andre Smith came into the game to play right tackle.
All the maneuvering didn't stop the Bengals from running for 164 yards and holding the Chargers without a sack, so the Bengals should be able to make things work in Boling's absence.

OK, so hubby is camping with the boy scouts this weekend. That leaves me single parenting for 3 days. Normally not a huge deal, being I have been doing a bit better health wise (I was not in danger of being admitted to hospital this week). Till late this morning it was going smoothly. Until my 16yr old, old brought her plate she used for lunch into the kitchen. She went to set it on the counter and dropped it.
This really is not a big deal & should not have been very noteworthy however, it did. See the dinner plate (a Corelle shatter resistant plate) did not just break it SHATTERED into a bazillion pieces all over my floor.
I was on the far side of the kitchen when this happened and had to wait for my daughter to bring me shoes. I also had to try to keep PA from coming into the kitchen. Simply telling her to stay out or that it would hurt her feet if she came into the kitchen was not enough. She does not understand. We had an incident recently where we went through a similar situation (yes she dropped another plate) where I had to keep physically keep PA out of the kitchen until it was cleaned up. She is so curious and has to watch everything and with some things no fear and that scares me. We talked to her at length about glass on the ground & she even had gotten a piece of glass in her foot last time. We talked about how dangerous it was to walk on glass with bare feet. Was as if she had NO CLUE what I was trying to tell her and she did not understand. She did not remember and was upset she could not go into the kitchen.
I had to have my 16yr old take care of PA and watch her to be sure she did not go into where I was working, while I tackled the cleanup. As I looked around to assess what needed to be done, I soon realized this was not your normal clean up. I saw shards on countertops, in the sink, on the stove and in drawers.
I was amazed at how far & wide the shards flew. There were even shards in the cupcake batter. She was making cupcakes for a swim party later in the afternoon. Lucky for her she had already baked ½ of it so she had 1 dozen to take and we dumped the rest.
I swept twice, vacuumed the counters, stove and edges of the room. Then I took a broom vacuum to the room in every direction I could. I have to say short of scrubbing the whole kitchen I was thorough. It took me the better part of the afternoon to do this.
No permanent damage done & no one got hurt. We just had a little excitement for my otherwise dull life. Yes, I know not such a dull life but I had to say it **laughing**

Welcome to Yatate Kokusai
Welcome to Yatate Kokusai a website dedicated to the appreciation of the Japanese yatate. The yatate is a Japanese pre-modern, self-contained, portable writing instrument that was in common use from about the late 13th century until the arrival of the fountain pen in the early 20th century.
I was first introduced to the yatate while living in Japan. One Saturday morning I happened to stop at the Heiwajima Antiques Fair in the Ota-ku section of Tōkyō. Heiwajima is a large, sprawling indoor antiques fair with about 280 dealers displaying an assortment of items that can only be described as eclectic. At one dealer I noticed an object that I was not familiar with and asked if he could tell me something about the item. All that we could muster with my poor Japanese and his English, slightly better than my Japanese, was that the item was an "ancient" writing instrument known as a yatate, crafted from bronze and that it would have contained a writing brush now missing. Using that last bit of information as a bargaining point, we agreed upon a price and I was now in possession of my first yatate which started me on a twenty-year journey of collecting, discovering and enjoying the craftsmanship and beauty of that little known segment of Japanese culture — the yatate.
On the following pages, please enjoy the photos of yatate craftsmanship. Many of the yatate photos are from the Tawara Art Museum, Ashiya, Japan collection and have been reproduced on this site with the permission of the museum.
