Today was Animal Blessing Sunday at church, and what a joy. Multiple dogs and two bunnies, and lots of photos of stay-at-home pets (including my kitty Pippin, who would not feel blessed by having to get into his carrier and be in a strange place) and remembering beloved animal companions who have died. Blessings to all creatures and all who love and care for them.
Rev. Laura
Bless You!
The Rev. Laura Horton-Ludwig, Minister
First Unitarian Universalist Church of Stockton
October 3, 2010
A couple of nights ago,
for the first time in many years, I dreamed of my dog Winky,
beautiful, sweet Winky who was our dog when I was a little girl.
Winky was half-golden retriever, half-husky,
with a black husky back and a golden face,
and true to her ancestors, she loved to run and she loved us kids.
Winky has been dead for a very long time.
She died when I was thirteen years old.
But in my dream, she was alive again, and I thought in the dream
how wondrous it was that she had lived to be in her 30s.
I got to pet her like in the old days,
and she came and sat with me and put her head on my knee.
It was so good to see her, even in a dream.
When I woke up, I felt really blessed.
And in honor of our Blessing of the Animals Sunday,
I wanted to talk for just a little bit about,
what is a blessing? Continue reading

Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at Heritage Hill July 27 – 28
Laura Ingalls Wilder Days are back! This year's event at Heritage Hill is being held July 27 -28 from 10 am to 4:30pm.
On the rare occasion my mother let me wear a skirt, I would wade through the creek near our house, because that's what Laura and Mary Ingalls did. When I got home, I'd read one of the books or watch an episode on TV. That's probably one of the reasons I absolutely love the annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at Heritage Hill. It takes me back not only to some of my favorite books, but one of my favorite TV shows, too.
Three years ago my family and I went and Dean Butler (Almonzo Wilder) of the TV Series was the guest. This year fans can meet the person we loved to hate, Allison Arngrim, who played evil Nellie Oleson. Arngrim's book, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated, is hilarious (she is now a stand-up comedian) and I highly recommend you read it! Arngrim will also have several autograph sessions during the event, but be forewarned: based upon our experience with Dean Butler's autograph session, be prepared to wait in line for several hours.
If you don't have a membership to Heritage Hill, here's the cost breakdown:
- $10 for adults,
- $9 for seniors (over 62)
- $8 for children 4-17
- (children 3 and under free).
There are tons of activities and events planned for the 2-day event, like making bullets, rug braiding, log cabin building, grinding coffee, doing laundry, rag doll making, twisting hay sticks, rope making and more.. My kids simply enjoyed playing the games and learning the things that people used to do out of necessity.
For more information, check out the Heritage Hill website.

Absolute Bargain
Sony Micro Vault Midi 4 GB
Member Name: AverageJoseph
Sony Micro Vault Midi 4 GB
Date: 08/03/12
Advantages: Cheap, Spacious, Small
Disadvantages: None
I purchased my Sony 4GB USB about a year ago for around 6-7 pounds (it is still available now around £5-10). I used it quite frequently to store photos, videos and word documents, until one day I realised I could use it to transport my xbox live profile. With this little delight, I've managed to view photo & song albums and videos of decent quality thanks to a more than enough storage capacity of 4GB. Its about 6.5CM long and 1.5CM wide with a sharp little safety slider to release and retract the USB plug in. Like most external USB devices, this one has a flashing green light (safety slider) to signal when it is in use etc. It looks professional in a slick, smooth black and frosted black with silver/grey writing displaying the company logo, size and product name, along with darkened info, made in Taiwan ect. I haven't had any problems with it at all and often take it with me to work and friends houses thanks to it being compact and offering a small slot to tie it to keys or other important items.
The transferring of files takes little time and no sound is made from the stick at all. Its made from standard plastic but manages to stay functional after being dropped numerous times and jangling around in a rucksack. Errors will only occur from user faults like removing the device before stopping or ejecting it, something that most usb devices require to remain in operational.
Summary: Fantastic Value for Money

Help us give a happy home to thousands of stray and abandoned dogs
We never destroy a healthy dog
Your dog is part of the family and deserves to get the best possible veterinary care when necessary. There is no National Health Service for pets, and veterinary fees continue to rise at a faster rate than general inflation. If you can afford it, we would certainly recommend taking out pet insurance.
Things to look for when choosing a pet insurance policy:
Remember that you will have to pay an excess when you claim for each new condition or illness and this may increase as your dog gets older. Usually around £40-£70 will have to be paid towards the cost of treatment. Also, if your pet has already been treated for a condition before taking out your policy, then the insurance company will most likely not cover any further treatment for that condition.
Pet insurance may seem expensive, but it really could mean the difference between life and death for your dog; it would be heartbreaking to have to have your dog put to sleep just because you couldn't afford the necessary veterinary treatment. On the other hand, if your dog is lucky you may never have to claim any money back, but at the very least it really does give you peace of mind.
Dogs Trust's partnership with Petplan, the UK's favourite pet insurance provider, means that all of our rehomed dogs receive 4 weeks' free insurance from the moment they leave our centres. This free Petplan insurance includes immediate Veterinary Fees cover for unexpected illnesses and injuries, giving the adopter peace of mind whilst their dog settles into its new home. This cover can be extended to a full policy at any time during the free period and the adopter will receive an additional month free, call 0800 107 7554.
If you are having trouble meeting your dog's vet bills, Dogs Trust might be able to help. If you are interested in third party insurance (in addition to, not replacing, veterinary insurance) our Membership package might be of interest to you.

Eric Heisig / Houma Courier
A Houma man is dead after being gunned down in a trailer Tuesday night, police said, and the shooter or shooters are now being sought.
Investigators have released few details but said the shooting happened at 133 Whispering Oaks Court, a gravel road and small trailer park off East Main Street. The victim, whose name has not been officially released, was found lying on the floor, dead of at least one gunshot wound.
Family and neighbors at the scene identified the victim as Ron Pierre, 40, of Houma.
The shooting happened at about 8:30 p.m. and police said they received two phone calls about the incident, one after hearing the shots and a second to say that the victim was hit.
Neighbors said they heard three shots come from the trailer.
The case is being investigated as a homicide. Police Lt. Dana Coleman said no suspects have been detained and that the investigation is in its "infant stages." An autopsy will most likely be performed on Wednesday, Coleman said.
Neighbors said Pierre lived in the east Houma trailer along with another man.
Houma Police, as well as the Terrebonne Coroner's Office, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office and investigators from the Terrebonne District Attorney's Office remained on scene for several hours Tuesday night. Witnesses were taken to the police department to be interviewed.
Police taped off the area about 50 feet from the house as they investigated. Pierre's family and close friends gathered just inside the area, holding one another and wiping away tears as they watched the investigators work. A few neighbors also gathered to watch.
A loved one of Pierre's said to pray for the family and declined further comment.
This is the first homicide in Terrebonne Parish this year.

Johannesburg - Steven Pienaar says his Everton team are not only winning the games that have elevated them to seventh position in the English Premiership but they have also become "exciting entertainers."
The Bafana Bafana captain expressed this view in an interview on Everton's TV channel immediately after he had starred in the week-end's 4-0 thrashing of Fulham at Goodison Park.
Pienaar played a prominent role in two of Everton's goals and was hailed on the club's website as having given "a magical performance."
It was the crunching infringement on the Bafana midfield kingpin that resulted in former Glasgow Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic sending Everton on the road to a resounding victory with a penalty-spot goal.
The Blues' final dazzling goal, from Australian international Tim Cahill, emerged following a defence-splitting pass from Pienaar which sealed Fulham's fate.
"With eight goals in our last two home matches," said Pienaar, "we are providing our fans with the kind of exciting entertainment they have not had for a long time.
"And the team is playing with the kind of confidence that enables you to exhibit a lot of flair and win games at the same time.
"Of course," added the crafty midfielder with a smile," it's nicer to score goals yourself, but I'm more than happy helping the other players do the scoring.
"With players like Jelavic and Cahill in the side, it makes my job all that much easier."
Everton are up against Stoke in an away fixture on Tuesday night and Pienaar said the team would endeavour to produce the same brand of entertaining soccer as they had played at home.
"But they are a tough nut to crack as they demonstrated in the drawn game against Arsenal over the week-end," added Pienaar.
"They give their opponents no presents."
Despite Pienaar's stimulating return to form since moving back to Everton on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in February, after a frustrating year with the London club, his future remains uncertain.
His business manager, Rob Moore, proclaimed recently that there had been no permanent transfer offers from Everton - or any other club.
Moore, however, made it clear where he believed Pienaar's interests would be best served by proclaiming "his style seems best-suited to that of Everton and his zest for the game has come back since his return to the Merseyside club.
''Nothing makes Steven happier than when he is playing soccer," added Moore, "and he could not be happier than he is right now."

The latest British audio invasion comes from Naim, and you'll undoubtedly want to use it to enhance those old Beatles and Stones records.
Naim is delivering its NAIT XS stereo integrated amplifier for two-channel audiophiles to plug into, as it's a 60-watts-per-channel version of the British manufacturer's Supernait amp.
The slim but high-performance machine has six inputs, with a 3.5mm jack even reserved for the front panel so you can conveniently plug in an MP3 player.
If you're looking to connect to a more audiophile-like source, the NAIT XS also features a powered input to use with an outboard phono stage.
The other four inputs include both DIN-5 and RCA connections. The unit includes a custom 380VA toroidal transformer that delivers separate power to the power amp section, preamp switching, front-panel circuitry and preamplifier analog circuits, the company says.
There's also a resistor-buffered full-range subwoofer output so you can crank up the bass.
Look for an authorized Naim retailer to check out the $2,250 NAIT XS, and don't forget to leave some space in your listening rack.

I saw a similar fabric in a high end furniture store, so I couldn't resist buying a set of these chairs for my dining room. To my surprise, the fabric is the same quality as the high priced chairs I saw in the furniture store. I am glad I looked on Overstock before making a decision to buy chairs that would have cost me much more than twice the price.
These chairs added a touch of elegance to our otherwise casual dining room. Follow the assembly directions, it was very helpful to have someone sit on the chair when doing the final tightening of the screws to get the chairs to sit evenly and not wobble. Enjoy!
Love, Love, Love the look and quality of these chairs!! I love the color, but be prepared it is more blue than pictured, but it works for me as it a very pretty slate blue with a little bit of texture to it. Very easy to assemble and very comfortable! I am actually sitting in one now!
We bought 10 of these chairs for a beautiful and high-quality mahogany dining room table. I was worried that the chair legs would look cheap next to the quality table but they do not. the whole set-up looks very high end.
These are extra dining room chairs that are rarely used...when they are seated on a rug they are fine, on hardwood they a a little wobbly. The color in the pictures is more of a gray-blue...which I would have preferred. They are comfortable to sit in and the perfect height.
I bought these chairs for my Bay house. Love the style and color. They were easy to put together. I gave a 4 star rating because one of the chair legs was scratched. I was able to repair with the furniture repair stick. I would recommend these chairs.
Chair has nice pattern, but material is cheap, but legs are painted poorly. Very obvious legs are cheap wood. Chairs are true to their origin, typical cheap chinese product imitating the beautiful work of someone else. I guess we should get used to this quality of furniture, since everything is MADE IN CHINA!
The wood split when we screwed in the bolts before the bolts were even close to tightened. The front legs also look weird... not as pictured; they don't line up with the front seat of the chair, but instead are about inch inside of the edges - it looks very funny. If I had known that the wood was going to split when we put the chair together, I DEFINITELY would not have bought these. I'm really disappointed :(
Love the look of my chairs - everyone is so impressed with the look and price. A heavy-set person sat on one of the chairs and the leg cracked. So bummed - but the person probably was close to 300 lbs. so I can't totally blame the chair.
These chairs are a fine choice for this price point, but they are not as sturdy as I was hoping for. The cushioning and finishing on the fabric is well done, but they creak some when people sit in them. I purchased them to finish off the dining area in my open floor plan apartment, because they were a good deal, but I wonder now if I could have found something better. I only purchased one set and I will not be buying another. I'd rather have mismatched chairs or sell these on Craigslist. They look great, they're just not the quality I wanted for every day use.

Mayra Chavez was 16 when she dropped out of U.S. Grant High School to move to Mexico with her parents.
When she returned to Oklahoma City two years later, Chavez was married, pregnant and unsure about her future.
Mayra Chavez was 16 when she dropped out of U.S. Grant High School to move to Mexico with her parents.
When she returned to Oklahoma City two years later, Chavez was married, pregnant and unsure about her future.
"I was thinking, 'What am I doing with my life?'" she recalled Wednesday. "I want to be able to provide more for my son."
Chavez eventually enrolled at Emerson Mid-High School with the sole purpose of obtaining her diploma, but her teachers pushed her to excel. Chavez, 20, graduated with honors. She enrolled at Oklahoma City Community College and aspires to be a psychologist.
"I guess they just believed in me more than I did," said Chavez, who lives with her husband and their 2-year-old son. "I started to believe in myself and started getting better grades."
'Desire to succeed'
Her journey is one that's being traveled by nearly 70 percent of the 160 students at Emerson, an Oklahoma City alternative school that offers child care and parenting classes and soon again will have a clinic that will provide prenatal care and other services to students.
"We have high expectations for these kids. We expect them to do all the things they need to do to graduate," Principal Sherry Kishore said. "A lot of kids come here feeling like they can't succeed because they have failed in other educational settings. They find out they have a desire to succeed they didn't know they had."
Senior Clarissa Blanton is the mother of 1-year-old Quincy. She chose to attend Emerson because "they have a day care here, and I really don't have anybody to watch my baby."
"It would be hard without the day care because my mom works a lot, so I'm probably going to be the one staying home with the baby all the time," she said between classes.
Blanton, a 17-year-old single mom, plans to attend college and wants to be a nurse like her mother.
"My son is motivating me," she said.
Kishore, 61, knows exactly what her students are up against. Pregnant at 16, she never lost sight of completing school despite the added responsibility of raising a child.

It's easy to forget just how crazy things got during the Web 1.0 bubble in 2000. That was over ten years ago. For context, Mark Zuckerberg was all of sixteen when the original web bubble popped.
There's plenty of evidence that we're entering another tech bubble. It's just less visible to people outside the tech industry because there's no corresponding stock market IPO frenzy. Yet.
There are two films which captured the hyperbole and excess of the original dot com bubble especially well.
The first is the documentary Startup.com. It's about the prototypical web 1.0 company: one predicated on an idea that made absolutely no sense, which proceeded to flame out in a spectacular and all too typical way for the era. This one just happened to occur on digital film. The govworks.com website described in the documentary, the one that burned through $60 million in 18 months, is now one of those ubiquitous domain squatter pages. A sign of the times, perhaps.
The second film was one I had always wanted to see, but wasn't able to until a few days ago: Code Rush. For a very long time, Code Rush was almost impossible to find, but the activism of Andy Baio nudged the director to make the film available under Creative Commons. You can now watch it online — and you absolutely should.
Remember when people charged money for a web browser? That was Netscape.
Code Rush is a PBS documentary recorded at Netscape from 1998 - 1999, focusing on the open sourcing of the Netscape code. As the documentary makes painfully clear, this wasn't an act of strategy so much as an act of desperation. That's what happens when the company behind the world's most ubiquitous operating system decides a web browser should be a standard part of the operating system.
Everyone in the documentary knows they're doomed; in fact, the phrase "we're doomed" is a common refrain throughout the film. But despite the gallows humor and the dark tone, parts of it are oddly inspiring. These are engineers who are working heroic, impossible schedules for a goal they're not sure they can achieve — or that they'll even survive as an organization long enough to even finish.
The most vivid difference between Startup.com and Code Rush is that Netscape, despite all their other mistakes and missteps, didn't just burn through millions of dollars for no discernable reason. They produced a meaningful legacy:
Do you want money? Fame? Job security? Or do you want to change the world … eventually? Consider how many legendary hackers went on to brilliant careers from Netscape: Jamie Zawinski, Brendan Eich, Stuart Parmenter, Marc Andreeseen. The lessons of Netscape live on, even though the company doesn't. Code Rush is ultimately a meditation on the meaning of work as a programmer.
I'd like to think that when Facebook – the next Google and Microsoft rolled into one – goes public in early 2012, the markets will react rationally. More likely, people will all collectively lose their damn minds again and we'll be thrust into a newer, bigger, even more insane tech bubble than the first one.
Yes, you will have incredibly lucrative job offers in this bubble. That's the easy part. As Startup.com and Code Rush illustrate, the hard part is figuring out why you are working all those long hours. Consider carefully, lest the arc of your career mirror that of so many failed tech bubble companies: lived fast, died young, left a tired corpse.
What will Code Rush tell me that I don't already know from having read Zawinski's various commentaries on the demise of Netscape and the birth of Mozilla?
Aaron Em on January 31, 2011 8:21 AMI dont think a 2nd tech bubble can ever be as big as the first one. Very interesting post, I think a lot of the younger generation (myself included) dont realise how much Netscape did for the modern internet.
Mrwooster on January 31, 2011 8:45 AMThe .com boom & bust is not represented well on film but I did enjoy August ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470679/ ) Josh Hartnett gets it pretty spot-on with his portrayal of a buzzword spouting young gun talking absolute garbage to the suits while his younger brother gets on with the coding. The portentous 9/11 foreshadowing may have put some off, but is very accurate - funding disappeared after that day and put a full stop on some that may have weathered it out. Well worth a watch.
Dburrows on January 31, 2011 8:54 AM@Aaron yes, it does. Jamie spoke only briefly about the demise of netscape on his site and it serves as cliffs notes to what code rush focuses on in more detail.
That said, I'm confused about the "brilliant careers" sentence. Jamie didn't go on to a brilliant programming career, he quit the business entirely to run a night club. As as startup programmer myself, that option is looking more tempting by the day...
Blowtar on January 31, 2011 9:48 AMDid Netscape charge for the browser? I was in school 91-96 and never paid for netscape (of course this was on various flavors of unix). As I remember, but can't seem to confirm, they were charging for server software and had some deluxe versions of Netscape. I do know I asked the Netscape recruiter (sent to MIT) in fall '95 how they planned on making money. His answers are precisely why I didn't go work for them: 1. "You'd be surprised how many people pay us for the browser." and 2. "We can sell advertisements based on where people browse". I didn't want to work for a place that 1. I'd be surprised we were making money, or 2. Did something I thought was creepy and would therefore fail. or 3. Sent someone dumb to recruit at MIT. Before I interviewed I actually couldn't imagine Netscape failing, after that interview I had a tough time imagining that they could succeed.
I don't think you're being fair to govworks though (the startup.com guys)... I've seen the movie and the idea has some merit.
I don't know how it's in the US, but here in Israel people pay their taxes/fine online all the time. The online-enabled anyway, I suspect not all grandmothers do that ;)
If anything, the movie taught me how poisonous relationships between co-founders can ruin a startup no matter what the success prospects of the idea are.
Another film in the same vein is eDreams which portrays the startup Kozmo.com, which burned through $250 million over a similar time span. eDreams is in some ways less personal with regards to its perspective on the relationship between the founders than Startup.com, but still worthwhile to get a sense of the gold rush that occurred during that first bubble.
Ccamrobertson on January 31, 2011 10:37 AM@Mrwooster
Here here. I remember using the internet back then, but I was largely oblivious to the browser wars. As to my memory of Netscape's going open -- I recall feeling (to paraphrase) that this was not "the first act of Henry V", but that's about it. I did not realize how titanic a struggle or how paramount an issue was at hand. And, while Netscape may have, for all intents and purposes, failed, we are fortunate that in the death of Netscape, they seeded, not a tired corpse, but something which has stood up to the behemoth.
cwallenpoole on January 31, 2011 11:22 AM"Lived Fast, Died Young, Left a Tired Corpse"
I think that's what it said on my headstone the last time I played Nethack.
Brendan Dowling on January 31, 2011 1:57 PMIn 2003 I produced a short mockumentary called "Pie in the Sky" for the 48 film project— loosely inspired by Startup.com, as well as my own experiences at tech startups.
Ironically, between Kozmo, GovWorks, and online pizza ordering, the online ordering is probably the most lucrative area now.
The film is online here:
Heh, when I read the title, I thought this was about Quora...
hmemcpy on January 31, 2011 2:59 PM@SteveSteiner If I remember it correctly, Netscape made the browser free to download, and free "for educational" use. This covered all us students in college at the time. The most succinct summing up of the rise and fall of the Netscape business model comes from a Rands article (http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2004/01/26/beta_is_dead.html)
At the time, the money was coming from enterprises who a) "got" web browsers and b) purchased site licenses for the browsers. Netscape sales folks would comb download logs, see what companies had employees downloading the browser, call 'em up, and sell 'em site license. Nice model. Too bad about that whole Microsoft screwing.
Alanstorm on January 31, 2011 4:44 PM@Alanstorm Thanks for the pointer. Oddly the link in your comment hits a 404, but a search found the page at that exact link.
Steve Steiner on January 31, 2011 5:13 PMI remember that time oh so well. Right out of college, eager to get my foot in the door. Myself and pretty much everybody I knew became a casualty of this bubble. One minute you feel like your on top of the world, the next, you're sitting in a bar at 11am doing shots wondering where you're going to work next.
Another film which summed up the excess of the time was The Smartest Guys in The Room about Enron. It took a few more years for Enron to collapse, but they made their name during the same time.
Great article by the way - just found a few more movies to watch!
me.yahoo.com/a/6Ty0BY0.y44CXjDJ__GpnwX1ajqvaMHxXg-- on January 31, 2011 5:46 PM@Steve, @Alanstorm: The actual link is http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2004/01/26/beta_is_dead.html -- Alan's link has the trailing ')' attached.
Brooksmoses on January 31, 2011 9:58 PMBubble? Which bubble? I think you are taking Facebook's meteoric rise as a trend for the global market. The software development market is running quite slowly (at least in Europe). Companies are not investing in new IT projects as they were some years ago. Some IT service providers are struggling for survival.
Bubble? I don't think so....
Gustavo Martins on February 1, 2011 2:42 AM@Gustavo
I believe Jeff is referring to a future bubble, to appear in about a year.
Jeffrey Davis on February 1, 2011 7:54 AMThanks for amazing movie. I'm watching it now at late night.
Account Deleted on February 1, 2011 10:09 AMI was in Canada at the time, along with a Canadian friend trying to launch our startup. We weren't affected by the bubble in the sense we saw our stock devalue. We were instead starting to launch our hunt for VCs. So our business didn't even got a change to start because everyone was backing out. In retrospect, we were just another "all talk, no substance" buzz-riddled business of the time, and given we were getting ready to not put personal protection plans on the table (relying exclusively on our wages), it's good we came late and didn't get a chance to start.
As for the issue itself, I like to think that bubbles serve the good purpose of restructuring the market around realistic concepts. It's in the aftermath of these events that the market becomes sane and healthy. Before that it is governed by hunches and a great dose of smart-talk.
Finally, I don't think that graph reveals a bubble in the works. It looks a lot like business-as-usual. If anything there's a steep climb from the 2008 stock market decline back to the values that preceded it.
Mario Figueiredo on February 1, 2011 12:01 PMSo, IPv4 exhaustion plays the role of Y2K in this bubble, yes?
Po8crg.blogspot.com on February 1, 2011 5:34 PMThank you for sharing the video. I've read about Netscape and it's really cool to actually see all those people! I had somehow imagined them to be working in good office space (like Joel has)... Given the work environment it's amazing they got as far as they did. Doing development that way is not maintainable at all.
Andomar on February 2, 2011 7:30 AMFast-talking the suits, earning truckloads of cash, bailing out early and retiring before I'm 30? Sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to the next bubble.
Karlossanchez on February 6, 2011 3:25 PMGreat post, Jeff. I hadn't heard of Code Rush and will look forward to checking it out. Another recent film along these lines that I thoroughly enjoyed was "We Live in Public". It's a great portrayal of one man's success, paranoia, and ultimate failure working in the excess of the bubble.
Matthew Mouras on February 9, 2011 5:00 AMYou know, the thing about the bubbles that no one mentions is: There are people who create startups knowing they are crap, just so they can burn through investor money. I used to work for one of those guys. Their idea is: get through the code to make v1.0 so we can attract investors. Who cares if it works "right", as long as it works "good enough" to attract investors...
My $0.02
Rick on February 9, 2011 8:15 AM"Facebook – the next Google and Microsoft rolled into one" - Your wrong there my friend. Microsoft and Google have their fingers in many more pies than Facebook.
Facebook doesn't even have an O/S or a search engine, or a DB platform. The list goes on and on.
Facebook will always be a social platform that makes money off Ads, nothing more.
Vince Panuccio on February 14, 2011 6:21 PM@Gustavo Martins - Dev jobs are a dime a dozen. I've got 3 open req's on my team right now. Problem is there is still a lot of garbage floating out there. We see streams of resumes that say the right thing, but first interview (phone) is usually a disaster. I've lost a number of employees in the recent weeks as well because of hot jobs in the developer market.
@Vince - By the next google/microsoft rolled into one, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the financial value. Both MS & Google have to make significant investment across hundreds of product lines to achieve the same revenue stream as Facebook without nearly the profit. Facebook has one primary product, and then the ancillary applications that support it. It's whole business is to collect, dissect, and report data. Most of that data we all just volunteer! And it's pretty much all marketing data.
Example. Picture the following status update.
"Just went to see Goodfellas with Mike Rowe, and George Carlin. Awesome movie! Better than Casino!"
What did you learn? 3 specific people liking a movie. I know their exact age, demographic, related interests, friends that I can cross reference and a myraids of information of my likes, dislikes, historical actions etc.
Facebook isn't writing it's own DB engine, which comes at a cost of billions of dollars (especially with the volume of data they have). You can pay 50+ - 150k/yr employees to build said engine. Or teach a couple marketing students how to connect to an OLAP cube and build some pivot tables in Excel for their senior project in their Marketing 491 class.
In the sense of ROI, Facebook has us all smoked.
Oh, and Joe Park of Kozmo wasn't interested in building a long term company, he wanted to build enough to IPO, sell out, and move on. That's it.
Chris Taylor on February 25, 2011 7:15 AMI knew that Netscape doomed from the moment I first time saw their code.
Plepilov on March 3, 2011 6:41 PMWatch mobile phone or cell phone watch looks like a watch. Please do not think this is just looking at it, in fact, which is a cell phone, cell phone watch http://www.espow.com/wholesale-cell-phones-chinese-phones-watch-phones.html can receive calls and phone calls, listening to music songs, watching video films, via Bluetooth or USB data cable, games, Internet transfer files in all Internet, etc. It has a full mobile phone functionality, and even more advanced than some of the common mobile phone.
feelysespow on March 9, 2011 1:34 AMAt first glance the NASDAQ is high. But in the USA:
So is food.
So is gold.
So is silver.
So is gasoline.
All of those things are not simultaneously rising by coincidence. There is a simple explanation.
The US$ is just falling. It simply takes more dollars to buy the same amount of commodities or the same amount of OTC stocks. I guess the world noticed what Helicopter Ben was doing and now expect a different number of dollars for the same amount of goods.
I'm not sure how to explain the high P/E ratio, except to say that over time, stocks must yield comparably to other investments after considering risk, so I would agree that the market is somewhat high, but I don't see a tech bubble.
H on April 6, 2011 1:38 PMI'm watching the docu on Youtube right now. I think I was way too young then to know this was going on.
Why are we headed for another crash now? Is it because of Facebook?

COPENHAGEN, Dec 17 (Tierramérica).- I have been working on climate change for many years, first as a researcher in my native Bangladesh and later as head of the climate change group at the International Institute for Environment and Development, and as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.I have seen firsthand the threats climate change poses in places such as the drylands of Africa, the mountains of the Himalayas and the vast low-lying deltas of Asia. I have observed years of inaction at UN climate change summits that have failed to deliver the response needed because negotiators have chosen to protect narrow national and economic interests instead of rising to the challenge of protecting future generations.I have jousted verbally with climate change deniers who have strong links to polluting industries and who have never set foot in the vulnerable villages and urban communities where climate change is already having impacts. If they did they would realize the damage their ideology does to the people who have contributed least to this global threat.And now, in Copenhagen in December 2009, I believe we have reached a tipping point. I truly believe that Copenhagen will be remembered in years to come, not for what happens on Dec. 18 when world leaders meet here, but for what just happened on Dec. 12. This marked the day that people from all walks of life all over the world seized the initiative from our so-called leaders. Regardless of the words these presidents and prime ministers decide in a "protocol" or "agreement" next week, it is the people of the world who have put the writing on the wall!The leaders who choose to read those words will take us forward. Those who ignore them will be swept away by the tide of history.Yesterday marked the point when a large part of the world rose up as one to tackle a truly global challenge. Although there may be temporary setbacks (like a less-than-ambitious deal next week) the tide has already turned. It cannot be turned back. Regardless of how much we achieve next week - and I remain optimistic in spite of the political maneuverings last week - we are set on a new and inexorable path. The leaders who understand that may come from the most unexpected of quarters. Keep your eye, for instance, on President Mohamed Nasheed of tiny Maldives.In a few months I shall be moving back to Bangladesh to fight real climate change, as opposed to fighting against bad (or inadequate) climate change policies. My ambition over the coming years is to help the people of one of the poorest and most vulnerable - and yet resilient and innovative - countries transform itself from being the world's iconic "vulnerable" country to being recognized as perhaps its most "adaptive" country.I am going home to set up a new International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) where we aim to ramp up the capacity of governments, civil society organizations, researchers, academics, journalists and many others from developing countries to respond to the challenges that climate change poses.The new centre will provide training and share knowledge on how to survive (and indeed even thrive) in a globally warmed world. It will focus primarily on adaptation to climate change in the least developed nations but will not stop there. Indeed we are planning to provide capacity building for industrialized countries on how to face adverse climatic impacts. Ironically, unlike most of the world's poorest countries, the rich world that has caused this problem has not done detailed planning on how to adapt. I am returning to the frontline of climate change where the real fight is already under way. I go there knowing that millions of people around the world share my hopes and my optimism that humanity can unite to tackle the challenge that now defines our life on Earth.

World Summit for Social Development Copenhagen, 1995
Population Transfer and Development in Tibet
Sunday, March 19, 1995[Speech by Michael Wills (Tibet Support Group UK) at the "Social Development: A Tibetan Experience" Conference, Copenhagen, 9 March 1995]
For the past eight months, Tibet Support Group UK has been working on a research paper looking into the population transfer of Chinese to Tibet. What I propose to do today is to present some of the initial findings on the nature and extent of the Chinese presence, some thoughts on patterns of migration, and offer some preliminary conclusions on the relationship between the current influx of Chinese and economic development in Tibet.
Perhaps it is best to begin by looking at what we mean by the term population transfer. The UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities has defined population transfer as: "involving the movement of people as a consequence of political and/or economic processes in which the state or state-authorised agencies participate."
This participation can be either active or passive in nature. A definite stated policy of population transfer is therefore not necessary for it to exist. If evidence of systematic, deliberate and coercive movement of population exists on the ground, a finding of population transfer can be made.
Turning now to determine whether this general rule is applicable in the case of Tibet, evidence from Tibetan sources (both from Tibetans inside Tibet and those living in exile) suggests that population transfer is a grave problem. Many recent demonstrations in Tibet have made some reference to the Chinese presence - calls for the Chinese to go home, attacks on Chinese-owned shops and businesses, and so forth. The Dalai Lama himself has spoken of population transfer as perhaps the greatest threat facing the Tibetan people today.
Evidence from fieldwork undertaken in the summer of 1994 suggests that there is a obvious and growing Chinese presence in Tibet.
Lhasa, the capital, provides a striking illustration of this. Lhasa has seen extensive growth since the Chinese occupation. In 1959, the city had a population of 30,000, but by 1989 this had risen to 140,000 (plus a floating population of about 100,000) and is expected to reach some 200,000 by the end of the century. Much of this growth has been Chinese in character. The old Tibetan quarter of the city is now totally surrounded by Chinese concrete blocks and wide avenues. Since the reassertion of Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms in 1992, there has been an acceleration in growth. Lhasa has witnessed extensive construction work, much of which appears to be undertaken by Chinese labourers. Many economic activities are also increasingly falling under Chinese domination. Counting at the Tromzikhang Market in July 1994 revealed that over 70% of businesses were run by Chinese traders.
If Lhasa is an example of the Chinese transformation of a Tibetan city, the town of Bayi is an illustration of exclusive Chinese urbanisation in the middle of the Tibetan countryside. Bayi was constructed as a military-industrial town in the 1960s, and now has a population that is around 80-90% Chinese. There are only a handful of Tibetan shops in the entire town.
The countryside presents a somewhat different picture. In central and western Tibet, there was no real evidence of a permanent Chinese population in rural areas. The few Chinese who were found were military personnel or temporary construction workers. But in market towns in rural areas, a similar pattern of Chinese domination of the retail trade and service sectors was found.
In eastern Tibet, on the other hand, there were signs of a Chinese presence in the countryside. In Chabcha county in Amdo, there was a considerable number of Chinese farmers, state farms and factories and labour camps which had expanded onto land traditionally used by Tibetan nomads. And once again, the pattern of Chinese dominance in trade was found.
In the course of our research, we came across two main patterns of Chinese migration into Tibet. The first came closest to the popular understanding of the concept "forced population transfer", and was the involuntary resettlement of Chinese government officials, scientists, engineers and so forth. This form of transfer was the most common between 1950 and 1979, and although there was a brief respite in the early-1980s following a visit to Tibet by Hu Yaobang, the general-secretary of the Communist Party of China, recent signs are that it is intensifying once more. In February 1995, the Chinese official news agency, Xinhua, announced that another one thousand Chinese cadres and experts would be sent to Tibet.
A second pattern, and one that is perhaps more dangerous for Tibet in the long-term, is the voluntary migration of the Chinese floating population into Tibet. This has been an increasing problem since the reforms of the 1980s, with thousands of unemployed migrants drifting into Tibet looking for work.
This second pattern raises the question of how responsible are the Chinese authorities for migration into Tibet. The case is clear in the first instance - staff would not be transferred to work placements in Tibet without government involvement. But the party and government are just as responsible for the influx of the floating population. Economic and administrative reforms have enabled the floating population to migrate across the People's Republic of China, removed checkpoints on travel into Tibet, and made access to employment and the acquisition of business licences much easier.
It is worth noting that both forms of migration are intrinsically linked to current Chinese policies for the economic development of Tibet. The emphasis during the past few years has been on rapid economic growth in Tibet, raising it out of its "backward" state and bringing it into line with the other provinces of the PRC. The consequence of this is that the modernisation of Tibet is taking place according to Chinese social and economic patterns and serving Chinese political and economic ends. The focus of this modernisation, moreover, is urban areas of Tibet - towns and cities where economic activities are now dominated by the Chinese and Chinese Muslim (Hui) population.
I would just like to wind up with a brief look at the response of the Chinese government to charges of population transfer. In the late-1980s and early-1990s, the authorities used to argue that there was no such thing as Chinese immigration into Tibet, and claim that the Chinese population in the region was only 4-5%.
Statements which have been emerging over the past twelve months indicate a changing attitude. The existence of population transfer is no longer denied, but the party leadership now claim that such migration is necessary for the successful introduction of the market reforms. The Chinese migrants are praised for bringing expertise in the market system into the region. In a speech given last December, the then party secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Chen Kuiyuan, declared that Tibetans should not be concerned about Chinese coming into Tibet and taking Tibetan jobs, because the Tibetan people would learn modern economic practices from them and gain in prosperity.
In fact, we would suggest that the current influx of Chinese is a huge problem for Tibet. In terms of numbers of Chinese, it is still very difficult to get an accurate picture. It is possible, however, to get an idea of trends of migration. In eastern Tibet, bordering China, there has been an expansion of Chinese in both urban areas and the countryside. In western and central Tibet, where there was minimal Chinese presence before the invasion, the countryside is still predominantly Tibetan. In towns and cities, however, there is evidence of increasing Chinese control over the economy.
In conclusion, then, there is now overwhelming evidence that the general pattern of Chinese-style urbanisation is taking place at an increasing pace. This development is moreover, happening above Tibetan society - with Chinese towns having little real connection with the Tibetan countryside around them. This leaves an impression of colonialisation of Tibet through Chinese domination of the urbanisation process.
The real danger of current Chinese development in Tibet is that it will lead to the social, political and economic integration of Tibet with China. The cost, though, will be increasing social and economic marginalisation of the Tibetan people, with the danger that they will be consigned to live as second-class citizens in their own country.

Hear the new single right here!
Buffalo, NY (July 10, 2013) – Led By The Blind is heading back to the studio in late July to finish work on two new songs. The singles are expected to be released in early August after a short round of promotion gets underway. The studio they will utilize this time is World Of Noise in Cheektowaga, NY. The band says that the new music will be a bit more progressive and edgy than previous tunes, attributing the change to the addition of Jeff Pennachio as the Lead Guitarist.
"Jeff wasn't with us when we wrote the last album. We had an issue within the band resulting in the loss of a guitarist and needed him to learn all of our songs in two weeks for the studio and upcoming shows. I can say for sure we were impressed," explains Drummer and Vocalist Jamie Ervay. "In addition to learning them all, he also wrote a few solos that pretty much blew our minds and thankfully made their way onto the album. As far as the new material goes, you can definitely hear a nice but subtle change since adding him to the writing process, especially as the band continues to evolve."
There is also talk of a new music video, to be directed by Jamie Ervay coming right around the time of release for the new music. Jamie also wrote, directed, and created the music video for "O#2" with the band this past October. The video can be seen here http://youtu.be/ZNlNyw5YiU8
The expected release dates for the new singles have been suggested as August 6th & August 13th. Look for those on iTunes, Spotify, and most other digital music providers.
Olean, NY February 8, 2013 – Led By The Blind has announced that half of their music sales for the month of February will be donated to Boarding 4 Breast Cancer, a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation dedicated to providing education, prevention and support programs for young people and the action sports community at large. In short, buying their music is helping to save lives.
Jamie Ervay had this to say regarding the band's action,
"Ryan, being an A+ snowboarder, ran into some girls at Holiday Valley who were involved in B4BC. They filled him in on it. He brought it to the band's attention. We discussed it and agreed to help out in this small way. We will also have literature available at our upcoming shows to help educate and spread the awareness of the organization. We hope that this encourages others to get involved in any way they might be able to. When we do good, we feel good. But we'll feel better if our actions help even just one affected individual."
To learn more about B4BC, visit www.b4bc.org. Find Led By The Blind on Facebook or at www.ledbytheblind.com to help out.
Led By The Blind has been added to two upcoming shows during their break to write new music. The shows are listed below.
January 12th - at The 40/8 in Cheektowaga, NY w/ My Kingdom, Trace Your Steps, With Life Comes Death, Murder City Outlaws, My Girl Chernobyl, /Signs/, & Digital Afterlife

February 27th - The Road To The Sphinx Tour at Xtreme Wheels - more details to come
Hope to see you all there!
Last year was a decent year for us. We won some awards, made a music video, got put on Pandora Radio, played some awesome shows...
This year will be even better. We have a few things in store for the future, some we can't mention just yet. We are saying there WILL be NEW MUSIC. This year the band reinvents itself. We hope everyone enjoys the surprises that are in store.
Olean, NY (October 28, 2012) – Led By The Blind has released their debut music video for "O#2", a song from their 2011 release "Controversy". The video is entirely self-produced and directed by Jamie Ervay, the drummer/singer of the band, on the ridiculously small budget of just $500. The video features a creepy storyline in which the main character (also played by Jamie Ervay) wakes up in an unfamiliar environment and can't find his way out. The video has memorable visuals and a great cinematic style, giving some insight into the minds of the artists and giving the video a feel of it's own that differs from the traditional style of music videos seen everyday.
The video was shot locally to the band over just 3 days with a Canon 6D camera. The editing and visual effects were all created over just a 30 day period.
Jamie had this to say, "I'm pretty proud of this video. It's the first I've ever made of this magnitude and it's the first time I've combined all of the skills I've acquired over the past decade. I give the credit to all the bonus features on 'The Lord Of The Rings', and 'Matrix' trilogies. I just hope people enjoy it."
The video can be seen here http://youtu.be/ZNlNyw5YiU8 or at most any of the band's web presences including www.ledbytheblind.com .
This past weekend, Led By The Blind won WNY Music Awards in "Best Drummer" to Jamie Ervay, "Best Lyrics In A Song" for "Cut Me Free", "Best Rock/Metal Band", and "Album Of The Year" for "Controversy". The band would like to thank everyone for their support. Being recognized for hard work and talent is always a nice confidence boost.
The band is currently writing, and gearing up for their show on THE ALL STARS TOUR in Cleveland, OH this August 15th. The next upcoming show after that is with Mychildren Mybride and Affiance in Jamestown, NY on August 25th. They may be unveiling a new tune by then. Keep your eyes and ears open. \m/

Darien, NY - Members of Led By The Blind were roaming the dirt blanketed, hot and sweaty fields of Warped Tour 2012 at Darien Lake, NY this Tuesday. Keep in mind they visited as fans and not performers. They handed out LBTB flyers, made friends, and moshed the shit out of most of the music. However, it just wouldn't be any fun if nobody made a musical sound.
Jamie was somehow on his way back from hanging with Pro Bee and Mark at Miss May I's performance when the man with the mic on the Digitech Stage asked if anyone wanted to play guitar. Hands were raised, emotions ran high (and low) and Jamie was thrust into the guitar off. Bewildered at what was happening, Jamie thought he was going to perform a song until the organizer elaborated that it was a "shredding" competition. Suddenly, Jamie wished Jeff was in his place instead, as Jeff would have smoked everyone on stage and off.
Once on the stage, Jamie attempted to play something on a detuned guitar handed off to him from the previous contestant and failed to play anything audible at all. If his competitior was any better, he'd never have made it to the next round.
In the midst of waiting for the second round to begin, Miss May I guitarist Justin Aufdemkampe came into the trailer to show someone a really fancy pedal. Jamie said, "Hey, let's battle on stage bro!" Of course, Justin declined, as he was already dripping with sweat.
So the battle continued and Jamie took the stage for Round 2. Well, he played much better in the second round but failed out to the winner of that round and the entire competition.
So I guess 3rd place in a guitar competition at Warped Tour really isn't that bad, for a drummer.
After leaving the competition with his consolation prize in hand, he noticed a BandHappy drumset set up and being grooved on by the instructor in front of Taking Back Sunday's merch tent. Jamie was then pushed over to it and asked if he could play on it. The instructor willfully allowed it. Once Jamie began playing, a small crowd formed around him, cheering him on. A few were familiar faces of the LBTB crew (Heather, Eddie, Jesska, Angel, Lexi Lou Who, Sara) and many were not.
Once satisfied with even being allowed to play, Jamie showed gratitude to the instructor and handed the sticks back along with the comment, "Dude, thanks for letting me jam. I appreciate it." A short video can be seen below:
All in all it was as good a Warped Tour as could be hoped for when attending as fans. Cheers.
Led By The Blind Announces Video Pre-Production
The band has announced they are planning a music video for "Yellow Spaceship". The video is in pre-production. While many ideas such as time travel, space travel, cloning, and epic depictions have been tossed around, misdirection is one concept to be expected.
The video will be directed and edited by Jamie Ervay. Filming is scheduled to begin July 27th.

State Of Play
Pretty good movie though I kinda knew what was going on from the very beginning but it was entertaining to see how it was all tied in.
recommended and even if you're not a fan of the cast. renting wouldn't be bad either since it's not an action flick where you need to be in a movie theater to get the good effect. |
