Meeting mayhem…and how to avoid it
Another meeting. Another morning out of the office. Travel time, traffic jams, delayed trains. Now it's another afternoon out of the office as well. The day's gone. You're behind on your workload. What now? Working through the evening? Annoying isn't it. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but other times it can be unnecessary because let's be honest, not all meetings need to be face-to-face do they? Especially with the technology on offer these days. Take a look at Office 365. It's cloud computing from Microsoft and it offers one very useful feature when it comes to meeting mayhem, and that's Lync Online. You might have heard of it, but did you know just how useful it can be at cutting down the time you spend in meetings? Time is money, so any saving is a good one right? Let's take a look…
Lync offers a number of features but the ones I'm particularly interested in right now are the live web conferencing, video calling and online meetings because these features give you the ability to make meetings more efficient. The meetings are multi-party so you can include up to 250 participants from inside and outside your business. The video is HD, so we're talking top quality, and you can join meetings through your computer, tablet or smartphone – so total flexibility.
Once in the meeting, you can share your screen with fellow participants, share a file, give a PowerPoint presentation, view contact card information about other participants, conduct a poll or open a whiteboard to make notes and drawings that everyone in the meeting can use and edit together. It really is pretty slick.
Here's Microsoft's promotional take on Lync, and coming up in next week's blog we'll give you a step by step guide on how to set up a web conference. Have a look and see whether you think it could work for you. Of course you'll still want to run some meetings face to face, but if you can cut down on just some of that meeting mayhem you'll benefit from increased productivity and reduced costs.
And when the bad weather hits, you just might be glad of it – business as usual as the roads grind to a freezing halt.
Movember – the final result
Virus warning! Be careful what you click on…
It looks like one of the oldest ways of spreading malware is making a comeback. I have noticed in the last couple of weeks, a return of the unexpected email stating either that a postal delivery to you has failed as there was no-one at the delivery address, or an unexpected email claiming to be an invoice for goods you have purchased. I have received three such emails into a long dormant personal email account and I know of several that have been delivered to an Axon email address.
Now, I haven't actually opened the attachment, but I can hazard a guess at what it will contain. It purports to be a label that you have to print in order to collect your undelivered parcel, or an invoice it claims is overdue. Experience tells me that when you open it, you will be directed to an innocent looking website that will allow you to print out a label of some description. What you will not realise is that during your visit to the website, your machine will be infected with malware. This will try to do one of two things – either use your machine to send out further copies of the same email, or your machine will be infected with software that will steal your online identity.
The best way to avoid this – delete any email you receive from an unknown source that has an attachment, especially if that attachment is a .zip file!
If you've received or worse, opened one of these attachments you should definitely think about running a virus scan or getting your IT team to take a look over your machine. Often these rogue programmes are unseen to the user, but can be causing all sorts of mayhem in the background.
If you need any help or further advice, give us a call or drop us a line… it's better to be safe than sorry.
We won!
This time last week, we'd just received a phone call letting us know that we'd been nominated for an award. For Best Use of Technology in Business at the Silk 106.9 Local Hero Awards. And last night we won!
It was humbling to stand alongside such worthy winners as Volunteer of the Year, Carer of the Year, Teacher of the Year and Champion Child, but we were thrilled to be recognised for our recent successes and expansion along with our efforts to bring emerging technologies to local businesses. We really do have a hardworking and dedicated team and this is definitely an award for us all to be proud of.
We were nominated by the lovely ladies at Macclesfield Chamber of Commerce, so huge thanks to Sue, Jayne and the rest of the team at the Chamber.
A lovely way to end a great year for Team Axon!
Here's our Tim, our Anna, our shiny new award and the lovely Sue and Jayne from Macclesfield Chamber of Commerce.
Office 2013 Applications Crash When Opened
If you're finding that Office 2013 applications are crashing when opened, the most likely cause of this is COM add-ins. These may have to be disabled for the applications to load. The following add-ins are known to be problematic:
ABBYY Fine Reader
Send To Bluetooth
To resolve the problem, do the following:
1. Windows 7 – Click Start then Run
Windows 8 – Go to the start screen, right-click at the bottom then select All Apps, then Run
2. Enter the following to open the problematic applications in safe mode:
winword /safe
outlook /safe
excel /safe
mspub /safe
visio /safe
powerpnt /safe
3. In safe mode click File then Options
4. In the Outlook Options box select Add-Ins from the list on the left
5. At the bottom of the page select COMM Add-ins from the Manage drop down list then click Go
6. Un-tick the add-ins listed above
7. Close the application then re-open normally
Further troubleshooting will be needed if one or more of the applications crash with add-ins disabled or the add-ins are not listed.
Baby it's cold outside
Brrrr…..getting chilly isn't it. And it's only gonna get colder! We're in for the coldest winter in 60 years, if you believe the hype, with a promise of snow and plummeting temperatures.
Have you thought about how this could affect your business? Snow days, staff stuck at home, unable to work, loss of productivity, drop in profits, unhappy customers….. all possibilities.
What if I told you that all of this could be avoided?
Sound better?
But how?
Well with cloud computing of course. Because if you have a cloud computing solution in place you have an instant remote workforce. You move all of your company data, applications, email and software to the cloud and you access it via an internet connection. You work this way in the office, and you can work in exactly the same way from home. Or from Costa Coffee. Or from a hotel. Or abroad. Or… well, you get the idea.
So assuming that your employees have the internet at home, and access to a computer, then when the snow falls and the roads gridlock those stuck at home can still be productive. It makes life that little bit easier. "Snowed in? Don't worry about it! Just stay at home, don't even try to get into the office. Stay safe." It makes sense on all levels really.
What about your telecoms? Sure, you can contact your employees on their mobile phones, but you can go one step further and have them accept incoming calls on the main business line. They can also pick up their direct dial extension and make outgoing calls via the business (so not racking up calls on their mobile bills). How? VoIP. Pardon? That's Voice Over Internet Protocol technology (aka VoIP) which is a hosted telecoms system. So basically, cloud computing for your phones. Without going all techy on you (I'll leave that for another blog), the calls you make go via your internet line rather than your phone line. You don't actually need a phone line at all with VoIP.
We use it here and if I need to work from home I simply boot up my laptop, log into my cloud computing portal (which presents me with exactly the same set up and options as I get in the office), plug my headset into my laptop and away I go. The way that I work at home replicates precisely the way that I work in the office. No waiting for VPN connections. No dodgy slow network performance. It just works.
And it's not just a lifesaver in bad weather conditions. You can be flexible if members of your team need to work from home for personal reasons and you can use it as part of your business continuity plan. So if your offices become rendered out of action for any reason – think fire, flood, a break in – the chances are slim but it can happen….then your business can continue to run as usual.
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
So enjoy the snow, stay safe and think about cloud. It could just save your bacon on one occasion or another.
Wireless button on the quick launch buttons doesn't work on the HP Elitebook 84XX
The title says it all….
Can't get the wireless button on the quick launch buttons to work on the HP Elitebook 84XX series laptop? I had exactly this problem today.
You can look in device manager and there are no unknown devices. You can check the BIOS and wireless will be enabled in there. No matter how much you press the wireless button you just can't get it to work.
What you need to do is this….
Install the HP Connection Manager and enable it from here. It will work fine.
The HP Connection Manager will work on all machines, but it's random as to which machines the wireless quick-launch button will work on. So a bit of trial and error, but worth a punt.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams have released fullback and special teams captain Brit Miller to make room for center Scott Wells. Wells has been on injured reserve after breaking a bone in his left foot in the opener but was activated Tuesday. Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday he was hopeful Wells would start Sunday at Arizona. The 26-year-old Miller had been with St. Louis since early in the 2010 season and started one game this year. He appeared in nine games and was not active for the first time last week in a loss to the Jets. Fisher said Monday that because of the Jets defense he thought going with three tight ends was advisable and Cory Harkey was elevated from the practice squad to make his debut for St. Louis at that position.

When a new session is starting, then apart from the new dress, books, stationary, a new bag is something which every child looks forward to. You would want your child to take a bag coordinating with the school dress.

Now, there are hundreds and thousands of school bags in different designs, colours, styles. Many reputed companies are now specializing in making school bags for kids and teenagers. While going to purchase the school bag for your kid, try to take him or her with you, as children now a days are very choosy about their products, hence it is important that they choose their bag themselves.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Rally and Pray for IDF Soldiers Taken Hostage
Gilad Shalit (Gilad ben Aviva), 19, kidnapped on Sunday June 25, 2006, continues to be held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. Three IDF soldiers were killed and Ehud Goldwasser (Ehud ben Malka) and Eldad Regev (Eldad ben Tovah) were kidnapped in the Hizbullah attack on IDF forces at the Lebanese border Wednesday July 12, 2006. Civilians have been killed by Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets which continue to terrorize and injure scores of civilians in Israel's northern region. Please pray for the safe return of our soldiers, the safety of the people of Israel, and may G-d comfort the families of the fallen soldiers among the mourners of Zion.
Chief Rabbi of Israel, HaRav Shlomo Moshe Amar urges all to recite Psalms 70, 13, 142, 126 and the following prayer for the hostages (Hebrew)
English Translation
A rally will take place Monday July 17, 12pm across from the United Nations (First Avenue at 42nd St.) in NYC. View Rally Flyer
Demonstrations were held on Monday, July 10 at 12PM in front of the Syrian Mission to the United Nations in NYC (for full details, please view rally flyer) and outside the Embassy of Syria (2215 Wyoming Avenue, NW, 1 block West of Connecticut Ave.) in Washington, DC as IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, continues to be held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. The order to kidnap him came from Damascus, and the order to free him must come from there too. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad plays a critical role in this hostage crisis, since Hamas leader Khalid Meshaal operates in Syria under his protection, as do other terrorist organizations.

Sometimes, a man's just gotta stand up for his (perceived) rights and just dues.
Wilson may be right, or he may be wrong, but you have to admire his tenacity!
I once held up the schedule of an entire McDonald's store by moving one of several traffic cones which had been placed over every single handicapped parking space, so the big truck could unload supplies.
The manager demanded that I move my car, and I pointed out that I was painfully semi-ambulatory, there were no other handicapped parking spaces available, it was pouring rain, and I was escorting a man who was having diagnostic tests for a severe cardiac condition.
I pointed out some basic ADA rules and regs to the manager, and he threatened to call the police if I didn't move my car.
I said "Oh! Please DO call the police! They'll be so interested in how you've blocked every single handicapped spot, and I've got wads of medical records in this big envelope right here! I can easily prove that I've got more claim on this parking space than your delivery driver! And I will suggest to the police that they give both you and the delivery driver citations for unlawful blockage/use of handicapped parking spaces!"
I also had a notebook, and I was busy recording the manager's name, the truck driver's name, the time, and the names of some other customers who thought the manager was showing his nether regions in a big way.
I rarely "raise a stink". I'm much more likely to take my money and go elsewhere. But that manager just happened to pick the wrong day to inconvenience me and my very ill passenger. We didn't want to cause trouble- we just wanted some decaf and a bowl of calming oatmeal with fruit!
I followed up with a polite letter to the parent company, and received a most abject, apologetic letter in reply. I was told that the manager had been enrolled in a "refresher course" on ADA laws and basic customer service.
The manager was transferred to a lesser-patronized McDonald's store in a lesser-desirable part of town.
There's a right way and a wrong way to address poor customer service, or outright customer abuse. Write a letter- yes. Punch the manager in the face- probably not a good idea.
There are almost always sensible remedies to such situations.
Why is anyone with a severe cardiac condition eating anything that comes from McDonalds? In fact, why is anyone eating at McDonalds at all?

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
That's why we're saving those old tire weights in those coffee cans out in the garage.
Melt them puppies down and cast a keel...
Many years ago, I went around to every tire shop in my area and collected hundreds of pounds of used tire weights. Put them in zip-lock freezer bags and stuffed them in the bilge as interior ballast. It was the easiest thing to do after my wife refused to let me use the barbaque grill to melt the lead. She was talking some nonsense about lead poisoning or something... Women!
I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
From the ad: "...I have changed plans on the next boat I am building and will no longer need this keel...."
Now I don't feel so bad about having a few sets of unused plans for boats I changed my mind about building sitting on the shelf.
Unless you are building one of those two boats and were planning to pay a foundry to mold and cast your keel, I'd think his price is a bit high. Short of needing just exactly that keel, it's just a lump of scrap lead. I'm afraid he's got a white elephant on his hands... not to mention that there's probably some eco-fascist environmental regulation out there that requires him to have a high priced licensee to sell "hazardous materials." If he were in California, he'd have to post a state-mandated sign that what he's trying to sell causes cancer in rats.

Corel® PHOTO-PAINT™ X6
Advanced image-editing application
- Photo retouching and enhancement
- Bitmap creation and digital painting
- RAW image editing
- Streamlined web exporting
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 is included in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6
Why I use Corel PHOTO-PAINT
Stefan Lindblad
Illustrator, artist and graphic designer - Sweden
I use Corel PHOTO-PAINT and CorelDRAW® every day for all my digital work, including illustrations, graphic design and layout for book covers, brochures, vector logos, T-shirt prints and, of course, image editing. Sometimes I use just one program at a time and other times I use both programs together.
Bitmap editing
Even as an illustrator and graphic designer, image editing is important to me, whether I work with RAW, TIFF or JPEG images. Combining Corel PHOTO-PAINT with Corel® AfterShot™ Pro is simply a great workflow. With those two programs, you are prepared for any work that is thrown at you.
I create all kinds of illustrations, from designing book covers to storyboarding for movies. Whether it is small- or large-scale imagery, my work requires bitmap drawing, painting and vector illustration. So having a great combination like Corel PHOTO-PAINT and CorelDRAW, makes it a pure joy.
Coloring drawings is a major part of illustration, of course, and Corel PHOTO-PAINT makes this process user friendly and efficient. For me, Merge Mode and Lens Objects in the Object Docker are a gift. And this is regardless of whether the illustration is a scanned drawing or drawn directly with a Wacom® tablet pen. For everyone who works with illustrations, I can not stress enough how great this combination of tools is—it is as if you are drawing underneath the outlines instead of on top of them, and it does not damage the outlines.
Batch Process in Corel PHOTO-PAINT is pure love. Picture a storyboard for a short movie with more than 80 illustrations/frames that have to be adjusted with resampled size and file formats and saved in the same folder before sending to the client, the movie director. To do that manually with each image would easily take half a day, while doing it with Batch Process in Corel PHOTO-PAINT takes a total of one minute. That is love for you.
Stefan Lindblad works full time as a self-employeed illustrator, graphic designer and artist for a wide variety of clients both in Sweden and internationally. Visit www.stefanlindblad.com to learn more about Stefan and see his work.
What's New in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6
The new Smart Carver makes it easy to remove unwanted areas and adjust the photo's aspect ratio
The new Create Clip Mask option gives you greater control when applying effects to groups of objects
Smart Carver
Easily remove unwanted areas from a photo and simultaneously adjust the photo's aspect ratio with Smart Carver.
- The versatile Object Removal brush lets you paint an area you want to keep or remove to quickly remove unwanted elements from your photo
- To resize a photo to print at a certain size without distortion, paint the photo's subjects, then use Smart Carver presets to contract or expand the photo's background vertically or horizontally
Create a Clip Mask
Adjust the properties of a group of objects in a way that is non-destructive to the individual objects within the group by creating a clip mask. For example, you can adjust transparency levels for the whole group without altering the pixels of the individual objects.
Pass Through Merge Mode
For more control when applying a lens or effect, apply Pass Through Merge Mode to groups so your changes will be applied to all objects, including those layered below the group.
Native 64-bit Support
Work faster than ever before with large files thanks to full support for 64-bit processors.
User favorites: Learn about the features Corel PHOTO-PAINT users love
RAW support for 300+ types of cameras
Import RAW camera files directly from your digital camera thanks to extensive RAW file support. Then view file properties and camera settings, adjust image color and tone, and improve image quality with interactive controls that provide real-time previews.
Interactive controls for straightening images
Quickly and easily straighten images that were scanned or photographed at an angle. The interactive controls, a grid with vertical and horizontal guidelines, and an integrated histogram that provides results in real time, make it easier than ever to straighten crooked images. You can also choose to have images automatically cropped.
Tone Curve adjustments
Users receive real-time feedback when adjusting the tone curve of an image
Adjust your images with more precision with an integrated histogram that provides real-time feedback as you make adjustments. The Eyedropper lets you pinpoint specific color locations on the tone curve of your image. You can also select, add, or delete nodes along the tone curve.
Photo effects
Experiment with exciting effects to enhance your photos.
- Use the Vibrance effect for balancing color saturation, adding richness to colors with low saturation while maintaining colors with high saturation
- To remove the saturation of an object, layer or region of a photo, use the Grayscale effect. It also lets you choose the colors used in the grayscale conversion
- With the Photo Filter effect, you can simulate the result of having a camera lens filter installed when a picture was taken
Objects docker
Achieve greater workflow efficiency by enabling hierarchical organization of design elements and by making commonly used features more accessible. Use nested grouping when organizing a complex image, to make round-tripping between multiple applications easier. Adjust thumbnails of objects and masks at any time. The reorganized docker also exposes many of the most commonly used operations. You can lock objects, which prevents them from being accidentally selected, edited or moved.
Document/Image palettes
Users receive real-time feedback when adjusting the tone curve of an image
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 automatically creates a custom color palette for each design project, which is saved with the file so you can access it quickly whenever you open your project.
Convert to Grayscale dialog box
Take control when converting images to grayscale by choosing the range of colors used in the conversion. This eliminates results that appear washed out because of predominant blues or reds in the original photo. The preview window in the dialog lets you adjust the colors for a more realistic conversion.
Brushes and nibs
Choose from a variety of brushes and nibs for interesting painting effects.
Export for Web dialog box
Prepare files for the web quickly with this dialog, which offers a single access point for common export controls. This dialog lets you:
- Compare the results of various filter settings before you commit to an output format, making it easier to achieve optimal results
- Specify object transparencies and matting colors for anti-aliased edges—all with real-time preview
- Select and edit color palettes for indexed formats
Color Proof Settings
You can proof colors as you go
All color proof settings are grouped in a single docker, which lets you save presets and prepare artwork for various output devices more efficiently. The docker helps you save time by providing a list of output devices which you can choose from to preview the output. When seeking approval from clients, you can easily export soft proofs and print hard proofs from the docker.
Image Adjustment Lab
Quickly correct common color balance and tone problems from a single dialog box.
Fit text to path
Add text along the path of an open object, like a line, or a closed object, like a circle. You can easily adjust the position of the text in relation to the path.
Create interesting effects by applying transparency to an object so that all objects beneath it are partially visible.
Histogram feedback
Preview your image-editing changes in real time.
Wacom® tablets and pressure-sensitive brushes
Support for Wacom® tablets means you can take advantage of the power, precision and sensitivity of a tablet when editing or painting photos with pressure-sensitive brushes.

St. Thomas More welcomes additional space
Date: February 14, 2013
by: Yaryna Klimchak | Community Editor
An estimated 2,300 people attended the jubilant dedication ceremony Saturday, Feb. 9, of the expansion of St. Thomas More Catholic Church. Churchgoers began to raise money to expand the church in 2008 with the encouragement from the Rev. Don Henry, who had a vision of expanding the church.
"Everything we have today was built and given by those parishioners who came before us, and when we grew from a parish of 600 families to 2,600 families, it was clearly evident we needed to enlarge our worship space," said Director of Operations Jim Selinsky.
Members had a three-year period to raise enough money to expand the church. Because of the recession in 2008, the church was granted an extra year to raise funds. Parish members raised $6 million from fundraisers and individual donations, making the church free of mortgage debt.
The church that once seated 750 people now seats 1,850 people. In addition to more space, the 1984 plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems were updated. The church ordered an Italian-made Ruffatti organ and even installed a hearing-loop system. The hearing-loop system allows members wearing hearing aides with a T-coil to hear what is being said through the microphone. The original church was designed in a contemporary style by architect Carl Abbot. Architecture firms Julian Norman-Webb and Cobrooke designed the expansion of the church, and Willis A. Smith Construction Inc. built the structure.
St. Thomas More was first established as a mission church of Incarnation Parish in Sarasota Sept. 16, 1979, and held its first service in the cafeteria of Gulf Gate Elementary Oct. 6, 1979. The permanent church was built five years later with the first Mass being held at sunrise on Easter 1984. Parishioners stood in the roofless church on an unfinished earth floor that first Mass.
Today, hundreds of parishioners listened to the liturgy in that same church except now it has more than 5,000 members. The Most Rev. Frank J. Dewane, bishop of the Diocese of Venice, invited the Most Rev. John. G. Noonan, bishop of Orlando, to take his place presiding over the dedication ceremony due to an illness. An additional 20 visiting priests concelebrated the rituals and prayers that date back millenniums.
"It was a beautiful and jubilant celebration that is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many," Selinsky said.

Gregory Maertz, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of English in St. John's College of Arts and Sciences, was awarded a fellowship from National Humanities Center (NHC) for the academic year 2008-9. Dr. Maertz, whose proposal was entitled "House of Art: Cultural History of Nazi Germany," was one of 42 leading scholars from across the nation selected from more than 400 applicants for this honor.
Since 1978, the National Humanities Center has devoted its energy and ethos to advanced studies in the humanities. The Center awards more than $1.6 million in fellowship grants to enable scholars to pursue their research. To date, this endeavor has resulted in the publication of more than 1,000 books in all fields of the humanities.
Maertz was also awarded a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies for the same project. The two fellowships combined with support from St. John's Provost Julia Upton, RSM, Ph.D., will allow him to devote 2008-2010 to this landmark research.
The research and writing Maertz will conduct over the next two years will form the basis for two forthcoming books, The Invisible Museum: Unearthing the Lost Modernist Art of the Third Reich and House of Art: A Cultural History of Nazi Germany, both of which will be published by Yale University Press.
"These two books will radically alter our understanding of officially sanctioned art—its production, patronage, and exhibition history—and offer the missing evidence needed to support the work of scholars who are rethinking how Modernism and modernity relate to Nazi art, architecture, film, and design," said Maertz.
Maertz was the first scholar permitted to enter and photograph the previously sealed archives of the former House of German Art museum, where he uncovered Adolf Hitler's art purchases from 1939-44, the identity of the 15,000 artists who submitted work for the Great German Art Exhibitions, the correspondence of the post-war Processing and Settlement Office to artists, and purchase records of Nazi-era exhibitions.
After discovering 10,000 Nazi-era paintings that were confiscated by the US Army in 1946 and then returned to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1951 and 1986, Maertz received permission from Chris Dercon, Director of the House of German Art, to photograph its archives' contents.
Opened in 1937, the House of Art was the first building commissioned by Adolf Hitler after he came to power in 1933. Its purpose was to showcase the finest and most acceptable art according to National Socialist aesthetics. "Degenerate Artists," such as Matisse, van Gogh, Paul Klee, and Franz Marc were banned that same year.
"Art was central to the Nazi political and cultural agenda," explains Maertz. "They saw how culture could be manipulated to serve different political functions."
After Hitler was defeated, much of the Nazi-supported artwork was believed to be lost, destroyed, or confiscated by the United States military. However, in 2002, Maertz discovered nearly 10,000 works of art which had never been seen before. A vast amount of documentation related to these works of art remained locked in the archives of the House of German Art until Maertz's discovery.
"I didn't anticipate the richness of the material I found in the House of Art archives. The master narrative of twentieth-century art history insists that Nazi art was in binary opposition to classical modernism. My research reveals this assumption to be overly simplistic. Nazi art was not as monolithically neo-classical or anti-Modernist as Nazi propaganda would have us believe," Maertz comments.
Dercon has been restoring the House of German Art to the original architecture designed by the Nazis because he believes that the past and history must be learned and remembered despite its gravity. In an April 13, 2008 New York Times article, "Munich Redux: Germany's Hot Spot of the Moment," Dercon was quoted as saying, "We're constantly working with the meaning of the building and the past of the building."
Because Maertz's objectives to uncover art commissioned by the Third Reich coincide with Dercon's goals, he was permitted to be the first to enter the archives and to publish all that he found there.

Happy Sunday! This week Pam from The Meltaways is hosting a Soup themed #SundaySupper. It's cold outside, so the #SundaySupper crew is putting the soup on to help warm you up.
Let's talk about my mom for a second. Now, I love the gal, but she isn't always the best cook. Cooking is more my dad's thing. My mom, not so much. When I was over my mom's house a few weekends ago, she put a half-frozen chicken breast in the oven and fed it to me for dinner. It tasted like rubber. Yuck! I'll give her credit, she tries. She can whip up a box of brownies like a pro, boil a hotdog with the best of them, and mix up some Kraft mac and cheese in a jif, but when it comes to home cookin', that's more my dad's area.
There are a few exceptions when it comes to my mom's cooking. When I was growing up, I looked forward to three things: her roast beef with veggies and beefy egg noodles, cheese bread, and this recipe for ground turkey & vegetable soup. The recipe was originally my great-grandmother's and has been handed down and adapted over the years. Hands down, my mom's version of this soup is the best. She turned the recipe into a family favorite. The only thing I changed was replacing the ground beef with ground turkey and measuring out the ingredients so the flavor is consistent each time I make it. I make a huge batch so I can freeze it for easy weeknight cooking.
This soup is full of bold flavors, fresh veggies, and healthy ground turkey. The base of the soup is what makes this soup so unique and delicious. It's made with chicken stock, V8 juice, spaghetti sauce, and ketchup. You heard correct…spaghetti sauce. It sounds odd, but it tastes wonderful.
It was my mom's idea to use Hunt's traditional canned spaghetti sauce in the soup to add flavor and thicken the sauce. The ketchup adds just the right sweetness to the soup, while the V8 juice gives the broth richness.
My mom knew what she was doing when she adapted my great-grandmother's recipe. My brothers and I would get excited whenever she announced that she was making this soup for dinner.
Thanks for making this such a special recipe, Mom! And, no more rubber chicken, please.

I've been working with a friend's startup for about six months now. We have minimal revenue thus far, but things look to be on the brink of coming through. My role with the company has yet to be completely formalized, but I'm having the conversation with him later this week. I am the only employee working on the project in the US, and thus am responsible for all the business development. I have no idea what to expect/request in negotiating with him. I've been putting in approximately 30 hours a week (in addition to my regular full-time job and another part-time job that helps pay bills).
A) Should I negotiate for equity in the company? I think yes, as he mentioned me being a "member of the founding team." If so, what is a reasonable percentage? There are currently two full-time and two part-time employees working on the project. None of us are on salary, or even hourly at this point. B) Should I negotiate for a percentage of contracts that I arrange? If so, what is an appropriate percentage? C) Is a hybrid approach best?
Being as he's a friend, I don't think he's looking to screw me over, and I'm not looking to do the same to him. But I'm putting in a lot of effort into this project in a variety of ways. How do I take care of myself while still growing the company?
Any and all input is appreciated!

Energy Ministers gathered for the third Clean Energy Ministerial meeting on 25-26 April 2012, in London, UK, to discuss progress toward clean energy goals.
The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum to promote policies and programs that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. Secretary Chu convened the first annual ministerial meeting, CEM1, in Washington, DC, in July 2010; CEM2 was hosted by the United Arab Emirates in April 2011; and CEM3 was hosted by the UK in London in April 2012. The Indian government will host CEM4 in 2013 and Korea will host CEM5 in 2014.
The 23 governments participating in CEM meetings and initiatives are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, the European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The CEM is focused on three global climate and energy policy goals:
- Improve energy efficiency worldwide
- Enhance clean energy supply
- Expand clean energy access
Work is organized around 13 action-driven, transformative clean energy initiatives led by like-minded governments. These initiatives build on Technology Action Plans that were released by the Major Economies Forum Global Partnership in December 2009, which laid out best practice blueprints for action in key technology areas.
Three energy efficiency initiatives address electric vehicles, buildings & industrial efficiency, and appliance super-efficiency. Four clean energy supply initiatives work to expand bioenergy, sustainable hydropower, solar & wind, and carbon capture. Six crosscutting initiatives address clean energy best practices, smart policies, women in clean energy, smart grids, sustainable cities, and energy access for the approximately 1.6 billion people who lack access to grid-supplied electricity.
In addition to ministerial meetings and initiatives, public-private roundtable dialogues are convened to spur development and implementation of effective, sustainable clean energy policies and solutions.

Reviews for Peaches & Cream French Toast(28)
Sort By :
Used maple syrup instead of corn and added allspice to egg mixture. Dusted the top with cinnamon and brown sugar! Delish!
Hubby and I and half the kids loved it. The other half of the kids liked the flavor, but as stated in several reviews, did not like the chunks of cream cheese. As for it not having enough flavor or sweetness, though I added some cinnamon, remembering that it is supposed to be breakfast and not dessert, I thought the flavor was fabulous. Next time I will either blend the cream cheese with some peach juice and spread it more evenly or just blend it with the eggs. I will also use peach juice instead of corn syrup for the syrup layer --wish I had thought of that while I was putting it together. We can't wait to use this recipe the next time we go with friends to a cabin getaway!
My family loves this, even the pickiest eater. I use Harvest Spice peaches instead of regular sliced peaches and I don't refrigerate over night- no soggy bread as others have complained about.
Very dissapointed- Soggy bread, and clumps of cream cheese. Just blah. I added brown sugar and cinnamon to the top as suggested by others reviews. Just wasn't as delicious as expected.
I also don't understand why the recipe says to drain the peaches and use corn syrup. The juice in the peaches is usually thick (even the light ones) and it definitely has more flavor and just as much sweetness than corn syrup. Whenever I try recipes that call for draining the juice from fruit, but then call for extra water or other similar substances (ie corn syrup) I like to use the juice instead of just wasting it. It also saves on one less item i need to purchase if I don't have the one on hand (ie corn syrup).

Topic Review (Newest First) |
brembo |
He's not been active as he was with you. You sorta tossed him back into a pretty tough regimen all at once. I bet he's building a bit of lactic acid up in the muscles and his body is wanting to flush that, hence the big drinking binges. Weight....fat weighs a good bit less than muscle. If he's been more sedentary than when with you he might have just switched over to a bit more fat on the frame than muscle. Just tossing that out, I always look for the silver linings. |
Daisy&Lucky's Mom |
Definitely check out diabetes as weight loss and extreme thirst are human symptoms. good to see you back as I said in your other thread> Maggi |
wyoung2153 | Thank you guys for the responses.. it is REALLY great to be back. Titan still seems as peppy as ever, just can't hang like he used to, lol. I will keep in mind the diabetes and keep an eye on the drinking if it keeps happening, I will call the vet. Also, any idea why the appetite change? he seems to only want to eat at night. Is there anything wrong with feeding him once at night? If I feed once a day I am used to feeding mornings. I am assuming night time wouldn't be much different but just wanted to check. |
pyratemom | Welcome back and thank you for serving. As for your dog I would say he is out of shape and needs to work back into it. Did the vet do a blood test when you were there? They should be able to rule out diabetes with that. I know that is one cause for excess water drinking. I hope every thing works out okay. I'll be keeping my paws crossed for your baby. |
JakodaCD OA |
whitney, first I'm glad you came back safe I'd say he's out of shape as well, The water drinking? Well first thing that popped into my head was diabetes..?? Or maybe because he is out of shape, gets tired so easily it makes him thirsty? Just throwing that out there, hope he is back in shape soon |
stmcfred |
I'd say he's just out of shape as well. If a person stops running for basically 7 months, you can't just start again and without building your mileage back up. I think the same goes for dogs. With the water, maybe he's just more thirsty due to the increase in exercise now? |
wyoung2153 |
Yeah when I picked this friend to watch him it was because she was super active and said she would keep him up with his running. Come to find out, she only ran/walked him, maybe on the weekends. And I don't know why he lost the weight. he's always been fluctuating between 93 and 97 and he's at 83 right now. He is going to get weighed again today, he has a check up on his paw and a cyst like thing I found on his neck. Just really weird. At first I was trying to decide if he just needed to get back in the swing of things.. get used to the new surroundings again but it's been over 2 weeks now. He's got the routine down, but just isn't the same. |
MadLab |
He's probably just totally out of shape. Did you weigh him before and after you went? The cut pad is proof he doesn't get enough exercise. The drinking the water is funny. Maybe he is too hot due to the excess weight. Cut down on the food and try to increase the exercise slowly. Edit, I just see you brought him to the vet and he lost weight, that is strange. |
wyoung2153 |
Back from deployment.. a few concerns..Text Heavy I just got back from a 7 month Deployment 2 weeks ago. Since I have been back, Titan has been fussy about eating in the mornings so we switched to night time feedings only. So far so good on that one. Then he punctured his pad on his left front paw the beginning of last week, it got infected and I took him to the vets with a 104 fever. He is on his last few days of antibiotics and it's healing well. Since I got him back, he has been completely out of shape. I used to run him twice, morning and night, 2 miles each and he can barely make it the first mile without me dragging him. I have since switched to running a half mile and walking the rest. He also was insanely ball driven before I left.. he would play fetch for hours if I let him. No stop button. He now will only play for about 5 minutes before he has to lay down and take a break. I took him for a check up when I got back, just because and he lost about 7-10 lbs as well btu is otherwise healthy. Behavior wise he seems to be normal. has the same desire to play ALL THE TIME only he gets tired quicker, lol. He knows all his commands still. He has become a little more lovey but I assume he's just getting older. (almost 4 now) I could be wrong though. He still seems enthusiastic about everything, except eating, which he's always been that way, and he did phenomenal at Search and Rescue this weekend, which was our first day back. Now we come to the most recent concern.. Excessive drinking because it was something I noticed this last night. Titan NEVER wakes me up in the middle of the night unless it's a potty emergency. So he did last night. Only, when we went out to the living room he booked it to his water and just wouldn't stop drinking. He drank almost his entire bowl and then when I took him outside to potty, just in case, he started to drink from his bowl outside. I told him to go potty and he did, but when we came right back in the house he went to his second water bowl and started drinking more. I filled his other bowl up and he went back to that one and continued drinking. I had to call him away from his bowl to go back to sleep. This morning it was the same thing. We woke up and he went straight to his bowl and drank the whole thing. I refilled it and he drank about half. I have never seen him like this so it concerned me. Any insight on anything I am concerned about?? Just thought I would see what you all had to say before I started getting really concerned. Thanks in advance. |

William Forsythe was born on 30 December 1949 in New York City. As a child, he was a big fan of Fred Astaire. He studied classical and modern dance at Jacksonville University in Florida, and went on to train at Joffrey Ballet School.
In 1973, John Cranko took him to Germany to dance with the Stuttgarter Ballett, where he became resident choreographer after several years. He started off as a dancer, but later chose to focus on choreography. In 1984, he also became the artistic director of Frankfurter Ballett. He was a dance mentor with the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, and he is one of the artistic directors and teachers of the programme Dance Apprentice Network aCross Europe.
He is also an honorary member of the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance in London, and has an honorary doctorate from the Juilliard School in New York. When Ballett Frankfurt folded, he founded The Forsythe Company.
Forsythe created a movement idiom that is complex and angular, and which stretches the boundaries of physical coordination. He sees dance as a process of abstraction and a form of thought; as a medium through which he can analyse, transform and construct form.
Before starting to choreograph a new work, he first deconstructs classical dance and violates its aesthetic rules. By doing so, he aims to get to the heart of the matter and find a succession of positions that challenges the dancers, disrupting their natural dynamics and making them almost lose their balance. His choreographic ideas have contributed to the most important international art movements of our time; from performance art and visual art to architecture and interactive multimedia.
In order to record his works, Forsythe works with the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design at Ohio State University on the digital library Motion Bank, which is supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation (Bundeskulturstiftung).
In his will, Forsythe has stated that his work may no longer be performed after his death.

Finally, after several months of sleepless nights I managed to create semi-automated process to color balance and match DSS plates into more-less solid mosaic (I'm working on DSS2 all sky survey for the SKY-MAP.ORG project)
I processed all sky at 1/16 of full resolution and half way processing at full resolution.
Meanwhile I have a question for astrophoto gurus:
I'm pretty much happy with most of the areas, nebulae, i.e. Lace-work nebula - http://server3.sky-map.org/?img_bord...mg_source=DSS2
Flame nebula - http://server3.sky-map.org/?img_bord...mg_source=DSS2
dark nebula above Antares - http://server3.sky-map.org/?img_bord...mg_source=DSS2
But most of galaxies look too bluish
Andromeda is more-less ok to me - http://server3.sky-map.org/?img_bord...mg_source=DSS2
But other galaxies...
i.e. http://server3.sky-map.org/?img_bord...mg_source=DSS2
The question is how too adjust my process to fix galaxies, but leave good areas unchanged or changed insignificantly. It could be some simple change in color calibration function. I can spend another month to figure it out, but for you it might be something obvious.
There are still few significant edge plate problems in the mosaic, but I have some solutions to solve it. But if you zoom out you'll notice quite spotty background. I'm still looking for a way to solve it. Any ideas?

Durga Puja
Challenge has finished
Durga Puja, also referred to as Durgotsava ('Festival of Durga') or Sharadotsav is an annual Hindu festival in South Asia that celebrates worship of the Hindu goddess Durga. In the states of West Bengal and Tripura in India, and in Bangladesh, it is the biggest festival of the year for Bengali hindus. It is also the most significant socio-cultural event in Bengali society. Nowadays, the Bengali diaspora arrange for Durga puja in countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Singapore and Kuwait, among others. For four days, the festival witnesses culmination of contemporary and traditional Bengali art-forms in the decorated "pandals" and idols. It becomes a visual feast of color and form. Let the world witness the beauty.

MATLAB and Simulink Based Books |
In this introductory level text, the authors begin from the premise that the complexities of modern hydrology can be mastered by understanding basic physical principles of fluid movement. Focusing first on analysis at the scale of a single watershed, they then introduce the mechanics of fluids in closed conduits and open channels. They reevaluate catchment processes in light of fluid mechanics, open channel hydraulics, and groundwater flow. In a concluding chapter, they stress the importance of understanding water movement in the environment by exploring the relationship of hydrology to such disciplines as atmospheric science, ecology, and geology.
Companion Software: The authors have developed a Web version of this text as well as a set of MATLAB M-files that are available on CD-ROM bound into the book.
