Awesome line up the super blunt arete. The Classic of the area. Belay from the trail at the base of the arete. Scramble up the boulder the out the airy start to clip the first bolt. Continue more or less straight up with loads of hand-foot matches and balancy moves between jugs that are always just out of reach.
On the obvious blunt orange arete right on the trail mid-buttress.
Bolts to nice rap rings short of huge roof. Thanks to Nick Stayner for the update!
This is the best 10a sport route in the gorge.
Maybe I didn't get this climb, but I thought it had absolutely nothing going for it.
I lead Rico Suave in the pouring rain which was a first and may have added to the experience. The route was varied and featured and the movements were thought provoking. It had a couple of nice rests to help secure the onsight. Highly recommend.
Came here searching for dry rock an a rainy day. A key hold or two were wet at the bottom, but the rest was dry.

Well my boyfriend (yes I am so ashamed of this) of 8 months decided that he wasn't mature enough to pursue the relationship any further and decided to call time on us. Basically I have been dumped because he wasn't prepared to commit to some sort of compromise in the troubles that we had already been having. We are both young so I do understand his issue with lacking maturity. However, I am regretting the physical aspect of out relationship, I am reminded that he was once mature enough to promise that he would not hurt/leave/betray me and therefore got some 'privileges' from my stupidity (although they were fairly minor). I am regretting doing this due to the obvious implications in life and on judgement day etc.. I was wondering what we could both do to improve our Islamic prospects, we are still in contact and I am sure that he will understand my issue and take on board any advice. I am wondering whether there are any duas, advice that you may advise me with. I have already prayed numerous times begging for forgiveness and guidance but I am un-sure about what else I can do. I was thinking about pursuing the relationship (if possible and within limit) in the hope of leading to marriage (to try and make our sins a little bit more acceptable if we do ever become husband and wife), or to ask our respective parents for their advice. I would appreciate any guidance on this. Regards! |

EARLY findings from the most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease are challenging much of American dietary dogma. The study, being conducted in China, paints a bold portrait of a plant-based eating plan that is more likely to promote health than disease.
The study can be considered the Grand Prix of epidemiology. Sixty-five hundred Chinese have each contributed 367 facts about their eating and other habits that could ultimately help them and Americans preserve their health and prolong their lives. The data alone fill a volume of 920 pages, to be published next month by Cornell University Press. Among the first tantalizing findings are these: Obesity is related more to what people eat than how much. Adjusted for height, the Chinese consume 20 percent more calories than Americans do, but Americans are 25 percent fatter. The main dietary differences are fat and starch. The Chinese eat only a third the amount of fat Americans do, while eating twice the starch. The body readily stores fat but expends a larger proportion of the carbohydrates consumed as heat. Some of the differences may be attributable to exercise. The varying levels of physical activity among the Chinese were measured, but the data have not yet been analyzed.

A 19th-Century Mathematician Finally Proves Himself
Charles Babbage, the man whom many consider to be the father of modern computing, never got to complete any of his life's work. The Victorian gentleman was a brilliant mathematician, but he wasn't very good at politics and fundraising, so he never got the financial backing to finish any of his elaborate machine designs. For decades, even his fans weren't certain whether his computing machines would have worked.

This costume is very soft. I am very excited to use it for Halloween. I like that it is gender neutral - I can add a tie or bow if I really want them to know boy or girl. No complaints at this time.

GREAT Halloween costume! Perfect fit, soft and fuzzy fabric (warm, but not hot), terrific quality for the price. I love how shoes don't show thanks to the elastic straps on the feet. The only thing that would make it even better would be a banana-shaped treat bag to go along with it!

Since its launch in 1986, Honda's legendary sports tourer has become an institution. With a formidable reputation for reliability, the VFR has stood the test of time. But it wasn't always so.

Aristóbulo Infante
Private landowner in Encino, Colombia
By Cara Goodman and Diego Ochoa
Colombia's cloud forests are jewels of biodiversity in the Andes Mountains — as rich in species as the Amazon, although only 1/14th the size in total area.
But at least 50 percent of these biological treasure troves have been cut down by neighboring cattle ranchers who need new grazing land — endangering the habitat of animals found nowhere else on Earth.
So The Nature Conservancy and partners are introducing the ranchers to new farming methods that could save the cloud forests — and increase ranchers' profits as well.
"It is a unique chance for my children, it is a benefit for us, for our community," says local rancher Aristóbulo Infante.
The project centers on Encino, a village 125 miles north of the Colombian capital of Bogota.
Encino — like many villages in the Colombian Andes — is relatively poor. Most families depend on their cows' milk and meat for subsistence and trade.
Small-scale ranchers have been cutting down the nearby cloud forests of endangered Humboldt oak and converting it to grazing land. The practice has emperiled not just the oak, but habitat for rare fauna such as the Black Inca hummingbird, the spectacled bear, and the gorgeted wood-quail.
The Nature Conservancy teamed up with Fundación Natura, a Colombian conservation organization, and the USAID Parks-in-Peril Project to introduce Encino ranchers to new methods and technologies that could make farming more than 125,000 acres of their lands less destructive and more productive:
But these steps required money — money few Encino ranchers had.
"We needed to provide these ranchers with the economic incentives, opportunities, and practical tools so they could earn a good living but also conserve the natural habitat," says Daniel Arcila, the Conservancy's private lands coordinator in Colombia.
"So we offered to subsidize the ranchers while they tried out our technology and methods," he says. "In exchange, the ranchers agreed to not cut down any more forests. Almost all the local ranchers agreed — everyone could see it was a win-win relationship."
Now, 24 ranchers have signed conservation agreements and are beginning to employ the new conservation strategies on their lands.
"Converting degraded lands to healthy ones is a slow process." Fundación Natura's Leiber Peñalosa says. "It takes time to change people's attitudes, and it takes nature time to restore itself. The process begins with a decision to conserve—the process begins in the landowner's mind."
And those minds seem to have been converted.
"Applying new technologies, we will soon have higher incomes, better milk and meat production, and more livestock, more firewood, and more productive pastures," adds Rafael Cardenas, an Encino rancher. "It's progress — for all of us."

Executive Officer Maximiliano Cuevas, who said Tuesday the clinic would open Aug. 29, said final transfer of his license and telephone operations had happened more quickly than he anticipated. Cuevas said his patients "love the new building."
The opening came three days after The Herald published a report about the building, which had sat vacant for a year after construction was completed with a $2.3 million federal stimulus grant. Cuevas, who did not respond to requests for comment on that report, said Tuesday the delay was over a state safety certification.
Ruptured gas main forces street closure
A ruptured gas main shut down part of Fremont Street for about three hours Thursday.
The 1¼-inch service line was struck by a backhoe about 3:20 p.m. near Big 5 Sporting Goods. Fremont was shut down about 100 yards in both directions until Pacific Gas & Electric Co. stopped the leak just before 6 p.m.
Big 5 and two small businesses to the west were evacuated, said Monterey fire Division Chief Paul Goodwin.
PG&E spokesman J.D. Guidi said a Graniterock construction crew was supposed to be hand-digging at the site off Ramona Avenue because of the close distance between lines, which were properly marked. He said Graniterock was working on a project for Monterey-Salinas Transit, which is upgrading its bus stops along the street.
Though the leak was stopped by 6 p.m., PG&E was still working to repair the line.
Cultural music, dance event is Saturday
Music and dance from Japanese, Korean, Indian, Mexican, Irish and Native American communities will be featured in an event presented by the Salinas Public Library on Saturday.
The Cultural Music and Dance Showcase is 1 to 4p.m. at El Gabilan Library, 615 Williams Road.
For information, call 758-7291.

I don't know if anyone has noticed this or not, but right now it's a great time for taking a look at the planets. Well, in UK it is anyway
So, at the moment, just after sunset the planets Venus, Jupiter and Mars are all visible. Venus in particular is astonishingly bright and fairly high in the night sky. Being as I'm rather keen on all things you have to crane your neck to see (including tall buildings, giraffes and, of course, clouds) a number of years ago we purchased a telescope and it's been languishing, unused, in the garage for some time. So we dusted it off and dug it out and a couple of weeks ago we took a look at Mars. It's the first time we've had the 'scope out since the kids have been around (yes, that long!) and they were both interested in taking a look. So there's not a lot to see (my telescope isn't that powerful) but there it was, a smallish salmony coloured disc with a teeny tiny almost imperceptible dot to the right which was one of its moons. My daughter was amazed (that's amazing - she said) and my son interested but perhaps not as much interested as he was right then with Skyrim. Sigh.
Then last night it was good and clear and we dragged the telescope out to the front of the house which is where Jupiter and Venus are visible from (Mars is in the east, Jupiter and Venus in the west). And we tuned up the scope and took a look at the lovelyamazingunbelievablybeautiful thing that is Jupiter. And you could see the small disc of the planet and distinguish some differences in the colouring of the atmospheric bands and two to the right and two to the left, Jupiter's moons. And it is amazing. So I showed the kids and my son took a look and said 'wow' and went back to Zelda, and my daughter said 'it's only a planet' and I began to wonder if my kids have inherited any of my genes at all.
Because I remember, I remember when I was small and my Dad pointed out to me the Plough and later the constellation Orion. And I remember walking through the dark streets with my parents, looking up, and wondering about the stars, not knowing, really, anything. And I remember waking up at nights and sneaking under the curtains and pressing my nose against the glass and looking out at their bright, familiar presence, and thinking how beautiful they are. And I remember the first time we looked at a planet through the telescope, Saturn, and seeing its rings and it's pure, true, realness and thinking 'oh my goodness, there it is, a real, true other world, it really exists' because up until that point it had only really existed as a picture, something to be seen on TV or in a book or magazine but there I was looking at it with my own eye and it was really there, not a projection, and beautiful. And it really meant something to me. I can't really explain why. But maybe for kids now the stars just aren't that exciting. I don't know. They're still wonderous to me.
And it's one of the things I love about camping. Because living in a reasonably populated area you don't really realise the extent of the light pollution, but get out there in the wilderness, by a lake or in the hills, and as soon as it goes dark the entire universe is revealed to you. And you can see the Milky Way (and it's not a chocolate bar after all) and the density of stars is so great the constellations disappear. And it makes me think about my ancestors, earlier people, not even too far in the past before the advent of streetlights, and how they must have had that vision every night and how it must have been wonderous and terrifying at the same time. All that light.
And how, when the universe was smaller, just born, the light from the night stars might have been a bright as day. Think about it. And look up, maybe. You might be surprised what you see.

I don't know if I can honestly credit anyone for stealing the show in July, though I might nominate Khier Starchylde whose digital imagery on display at The Creative Alternative is positively stunning. Alas, I fear his type of art may be all too underappreciated by the math abhorring masses, but as a certifiable computer & mathematical genius in my own right, let me assure you that Starchylde's work is cutting edge stuff—although the reasons why this is so are almost as difficult to grasp as Relativity Theory, and for largely the same reasons; both are geometrodynamically intense!
Yet another contender for top honors is Michael Hanks, displaying at Heartsong, GP's newest New Age shop, on 6th between G and H Streets. Mike does some really slick stuff with sheetrock and laminated plaster—so far I've seen just plaques/wall hangings and tile-esque objects of art, though he's looking into the possibility of doing up entire buildings with his magnificent bas-relief imagery (alas, nobody seems to be burying any Pharoahs these days…) Mike also shows his stuff regularly at the Saturday Artisans and Crafters Market.
Last but not least in my Top Three is the "Grapes, Vine and Wine" exhibit at the Harper and Howell Gallery. For this extravaganza I offer two rounds of especial kudos to Dan Way Harper and Peace, who created two of the finest works in that show.
Notably absent from the festivities was Peace himself, off on a roadtrip with his nephew, Donny Peace USMC, recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq (where he lived up to his name admirably, serving as a medic!) Anyhow, they're up in Washington, visiting family, and I hopefully imagine the elder Peace will bring back another masterpiece or two; after all, it's some beautiful country up there and difficult not to be inspired.
I also missed Kurt Mottram, apparently because I arrived late, so after I finished the itinerary I dropped by his studio and found him rocking out in a gleeful mood. He'd done the art walk earlier in the evening (day?) so we were able to compare notes, though we talked more about Paul Gaughin than anyone local, as well as Henry Miller, whose "The Air Conditioned Nightmare" is currently #1 on Kurts recommended reading list.
Neither Kurt nor I saw Otto out there, but by golly, I bet he was there somewhere, and I think I'm going to try hooking him up with a blog, and Peace too, when he gets back, though for all three I'll probably have to type in their spoken or handwritten words…
Anyhoo, that's the latest scoop from the Rogue Planet, and If any other artists think themselves worthy of being featured on this site, talk to me. I'm John Granacki and I'm fairly easy to find.

A A+F Computers: Used to be bad but many improvements have helped it be better.
B A+F Computers: All of the campus computers, printers, network reliability and speed, and wifi are very excellent. There are very rare occurrences when our Wifi is down, or the computers are down. However, technology always finds a way to inform the students if there are any Wifi problems, or if there are updates and such. The need for a personal computer is am essential for college, reasons being that certain professors require computers, students take notes and labs with their computers, and all in all for homework and essays. Overall I would say our computer and technology system is one of r best around.
B A+F Computers: The library is full of computers and labtops
A+ A+F Computers: computer labs at angelo state are comfortable and usually have plenty of computers to use.
B A+F Computers: The computers are fine and the network reliabily is alright I guess. The wireless does not reach some of the rooms making homework frustrating at times when students are trying to relax in their rooms. the computer labs are usually open at times when they are most needed and the environments are quiet and the staff is great. Personal computers would be my preference but the printing quotas are managable in my eyes

Written by Cheyenne Benson
Angelo State University has good computer labs that are generally up-to-date and available to students. There does happen to be a slight shortage of availability due to space and lack of non-teaching labs. Most students have their own computers, so this isn't too much of a problem, but for those who do not, it could be an issue. The MCS (Math and Computer Science) building at ASU has a lab available for the student body and has 14 computers at its "print station" for students who merely need a lab to print off a paper or lab manual. The library commons has a lab and printer but also checks out laptops to students. The public lab computers also have up to date software programs such as Adobe creative design packages.
Each student at ASU is allotted 800 free print credits each semester, with additional credits costing $10 per 100 credits. The school server keeps track of how many sheets of paper a student prints. The 800-credit limit has been subject of controversy among students, with some barely needing any credits and some majors having to print out more material for class than the 800 allows for. So far no word on whether the limit will be raised. Along with print credits, students are also allotted a small amount of server space to save projects in that can be accessed from any ASU computer connected to the server.
Non-registered users are limited to 5 school profile page views per month.

Kaemon, on 27 January 2012 - 10:06 AM, said:
is better than
by that reasoning this is the greatest mech ever made:
You think we are comparing the actual TRO Artwork to this new one? Its the design we are talking about. The TRO drawing, as I stated in a previous post, is dirty and untidy. Its the DESIGN that we like. The general Aesthetic. The New PGI Drawing is is 100 times better then the original TRO Drawing, but those of us who like the old Centurion better like the actual Aesthetic Design of it better.
(Thanks CamoSpecs.com)
Again, I think this re-design is an awesome mech, just not a Centurion. Take off the fin on the head and you could probably call it a Redesigned Panther.

Vancocin HCl Pulvules
Generic Name: vancomycin (VAN koe MYE sin)
Brand Name: Vancocin HCl Pulvules
What is Vancocin HCl Pulvules (vancomycin)?
Vancomycin is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria in the body.

To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your hearing will need to be tested often. Visit your doctor regularly.

You can basically pull any kind of Producteev datas and retrieve them inside your apps.
Producteev being completely FREE, you should think about integrating Producteev into your email, calendar, CRM, productivity apps, so you don't have to build those features and delight your users with an integration from one of the leading task management platforms out there.
To give you even more incentives to build things with Producteev, we're launching a Developer Challenge, your apps are due on October, 18th, and winners will be announced at Jive World 2013 in Las Vegas.

6 Ways to Maximize and Manage Notification Alerts
Notifications are certainly the most important feature of a good project management system. And the bigger the project, the more vital the notifications become. We all need to be notified if a co-worker completes a task we were working on or if someone adds a comment. On the other hand, there are a lot of things we don't need or want to be notified of. This is why Producteev provides smart notifications on Android, Mac, iPhone and Web. Here are seven best practices to be more efficient with notifications:
1/ Be selective. We give you the choice not to overload your mailbox. Go to your settings and set the events you want to receive notifications for.
2/ Pick and choose workspaces. Not all projects are of equal importance. Choose the workspaces that are highest priority to be notified about via email.
3/ Select the right email. We all have multiple emails addresses (personal and work). Choose the appropriate email for the project notifications in your settings.
4/ Unfollow tasks you are not interested in anymore. Notifications are sent for tasks you are involved in. If you are the creator or the assignee of a task, your will receive all the notifications. To stop those click on "unfollow" in the task detail panel.
5/ Follow priority tasks. An easy way to stay up-to-date on an important task is to follow it.
6/ Download the apps! Get notifications on your iPhone, Android, and/or Mac so you are always in the loop.

Prioritize Your Tasks: Don't Get Lost in the List
Task lists are great but can be overwhelming when it comes to prioritization. If you write down all your tasks, odds are you have a very long list! Luckily, Producteev provides a range to ways to prioritize your tasks from the bigg (the workspaces) to the small (the subtasks). Here is a review of all the layers you can use to keep the control on your projects and priorities.
1/ The workspaces
A workspace is the place where you can create your tasks and invite people. Depending on your activity, a workspace may be a project or a client case. To deal with daily tasks you can also create and share a workspace with your whole company.
2/ The labels
Some call it tags, we call it labels. In any case, the labels are really useful to order the tasks by stage, work area or client case. This is a convenient way of organizing tasks because you are able to filter by label. You can also assign several workspaces to a task to visualize the dependencies at a glance.
3/ The tasks
Our advice about the task is pretty simple: if you think it should take more than a couple of hours to complete a task, split it in two or more tasks. Completing a several of the tasks is more encouraging than working on the same one for days!
4/ The subtasks
Subtasks are the best way to keep track of individual steps for a task. You can use the substasks as reminders of the process to complete the main task or as little personal reminders.
Once you complete the basic prioritization of your tasks, you will ready to hit the ground running on any project!
How-to deal with your people on Producteev?
Teams are change. Employees are leaving, new employees are being hired… Regardless of what type of business you are running, it is inevitable that you will need to adjust teams, reassign tasks, and sadly, make sure that former employees are unable to access sensitive information. Luckily, there are a few simple steps to follow to complete all of these actions in Producteev. Let's review a few important scenarios:
1/ Onboard a new member in a workspace
Let's say you just hired the perfect assistant. Now you need to provide access for this person to manage your tasks. All you need to do is login to your Producteev account, open the workspace, and to click on the green "+" located in the left sidebar. Then, just type the email address of your employee and Producteev will send the person an email invitation. This is also where you can check your pending invitations and even revoke an invitation if you change your mind or misspell an address.
2/ Give administrative powers to someone else
An important element of success is the ability to effectively delegate tasks. As an example, user authorizations is a task that may be better suited for your wonderful new assistant. To give your assistant access, you would open your settings and to go in the workspace panel. Do you see the link "change administrator" option located beneath each workspace? Simply click on this option and to chose your new administrator. Note that this setting will not change anything about your current subscriptions.
3/ Remove someone from a workspace
With any business, employees will come and go. It is important that former employees do not have access to the company projects or tasks. To do remove those people from your workspaces you first go to the settings panel. It takes one click on an user avatar to delete this person from the workspace. What happens with the tasks? All the tasks will be reassigned to the creator of each task, or to the workspace administrator if the creator was the person you just removed.
Have a Producteev week!
Stop Using Emails and Take Action
Take just a minute to think about it: of the last 10 emails you received, how many helped you to complete a project? Not a lot right…
A recent study from the McKinsey Institute showed that the average worker spends 28 hrs per week looking for information to help get the job done, including more that 8 hrs per week just looking through old emails thread. We could all use that extra time.
In an effort to reduce the noise of emails you receive and to keep the conversation in the right place, you can use Producteev to turn talk into action items within the tasks and notes. Not only you can discuss and store information with your action items, you can also collaborate on documents and attach any type of files!

6 Tips for a Better Sales Management with Producteev
From the classic notepad and paper client folders to professional CRM software, there are many ways you can manage your sales process and leads. Simplify your process with Producteev. Whether you are using regular or Pro workspaces, you can use Producteev to better organize your sales team. Here are six best practices we have heard from customers when using Producteev as a sales management tool.
- Make clients tasks. Just like a task, a client may be active or "done." Each client should be represented by a task.
- Use Labels to identify the stage of the funnel of the contact. The labels act as step-indicators for prospects. You can easily create a label for each stage, and change it when something changes with the contact.
- Remember to assign the responsible party! Assign the task to the sales representative. This contact then becomes a member of that person's portfolio.
- Utilize Deadlines. Timing matters when you're trying to convert a prospect.
- Don't count to much on your memory, use the notes!
- Use Stars to indicate size or value. There's always a potential value behind a prospect. The stars help you identify which one is the most important in a blink of an eye.
With a little extra setup, you can optimize your tool through creating macros. For example, one of our customers combined the power of the Mail2Task with a rudimentary contact HTML form on their website to automatically turn emails into potential leads… Stay tuned: this tip will be the subject of a future blog post.
Vines + Producteev = the perfect mix for a great vintage
With a part of the Producteev team born and raised in France and our new headquarters located in California, we have two good reasons to be like wine. When we heard that a little wine producer from the Napa Valley uses Producteev to monitor his vines and sell his bottles, we could not pas up the opportunity to discuss our two passions: wine and productivity!
Hello Greg Scheinfeld, could you tell us a little more about your company?
Uproot Wines is a small producer of high quality wines in the Napa Valley. We are currently making a Sauvignon Blanc and a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley, as well as a Grenache Blanc and Grenache from the Central Coast. All four wines are produced and bottled in Napa.
One of the more interesting things about our company is that we have designed a front label that has what we call a tasting color palette. This means that the color bars on the label correspond to how strong the wine is. We started our company about a year and a half ago and are growing.
What is your role at Uproot Wines?
As the founder of Uproot Wines, my role includes everything from paying the bills to selling the wine. The team is still quite small: Jay (my associate), his two assistants, and myself. Jay and I work closely on the phone and through Producteev to keep track of the different tasks that need to be done. Email, texts, and phone calls can only be so helpful. The Producteev dashboard has everything in the pipelines clearly laid out and is easy to keep updated.
How do you use Producteev?
Most of my work is done through the desktop application. I hardly use the website dashboard since the app is suited perfectly for what we need at Uproot. I actually think we under utilize the potential of the product. As Uproot grows, we will have the opportunity to utilize Producteev further.
What feature do you use the most?
We primarily use the deadline and the multi-channel notification features. We also use notes and the task list helps us to keep a running list of all the things in the pipeline that we need to accomplish. It also helps keep us stay accountable.
How did you manage your tasks before Producteev?
Managing our company has mostly been done through email and phone calls. It was difficult because employees lived in separate time zones. Thus far, Producteev has really helped us to stay on track.
Help us to learn to Producteev how to speak your language
When is the best time to learn new languages for a child? A hotly debated issue. The choice is ultimately up to the parents. Here at Producteev, we discussed the future of our baby task manager and concluded that it is time to say yes to one of the biggest request from our users!
Based on your requests, we would love to make Producteev available in the following languages. If you are fluent in any of the following languages, we want to hear from you! And if you speak a language that is not listed below (lolcats anyone?) and want to help us to translate Producteev, please contact us too!
How to help Producteev to speak your language?
The answer is pretty simple, contact us! Tweet, Facebook, email, comment on this blog post, telegraph…Regardless of how you communicate, please include your email address so we can get back to you. Bruno (firstname.lastname@example.com) will be fully dedicated to our international helpers over the coming weeks, let us know that you're alive and he will get back to you.
So, what's in it for you (besides our gratitude)? You will enjoy early access to Producteev 4, free PRO subscriptions, your name on our website, and our eternal gratitude (which is worth its weight in gold ).
Thank you for your support over the last 4 years!
Turn your emails into action!
Whether you use Outlook or a trendy mail client like Sparrow or directly Gmail, the statement holds true: emails are overwhelming. It results in a critical loss of productivity for employees and managers alike. What would happen if you turn this old tool into the most actionable piece of work? A task. Give it a try by starting to forward your actionable emails to firstname.lastname@example.com. This will help you will keep the conversation with your team in the right place, out of your email inbox.
From an email to a task, in a single forward
If you want to create a new task from scratch or to transform an existing email into a task the process is always the same: you send an email to email@example.com. You can send from your main address (the one you used to register on Producteev) and from any email address you own, as long as you register those in your account's settings.
By default the title of your email will become the title of your task. Producteev will help you to go further into the action, by using the Natural Language Processing in the subject field you're able to create a deadline and name the person who is responsible.
The actionable conversation
Once you have set the title of your future task and its assets, it's time to edit your first note. The body of your email will be considered as the first note, including the attachments (remember all you can do with your docs on Producteev?). The icing on the cake is that you can also mention members of your team using the @ in the body of your email so they will be added as followers to the new task, and notified that they have a role to play! Now you only need to move the conversation in the right place and to let your collaborators move forward.
Turn the good emails into actionable tasks to create a better way to communicate and get things done.
They use Producteev to sublimate their commercials
M /studio is one of the most well known post-production facilities in Chile and a reference for commercials in the Latin American World. When we heard that they use Producteev to manage their projects, we couldn't resist asking a few questions.
Hòlà compañeros, tell us a little you and your company.
My name is Fernando and I'm partner and general manager of M /studio, a video post production company. We mainly do advertising and we work with some prestigious clients like Coca-Cola, L'Oréal, Colgate, Palmolive… I run the company on a daily basis when Guayi Mas our art director, is on the field trying to create spectacular effects for our client's commercials.
How does Producteev help you to get those projects done? How do you use it on a daily basis?
We use Producteev to coordinate the process of post-production. Since the plans change every minute we need to keep everyone updated and to share information in real-time. A client changed his mind, a last minute revision… They're always unexpected challenges in this business and Producteev has been really good to keep everyone updated with what they have to do in order to make the commercial great and the customer happier.
Give us your secret, what does your Producteev board looks like?
We use Producteev in a very special way. We only have a few projects running in the meantime and each project is short (5 days on average) and intense. So we use a common workspace for all the employees where we represent each client as a label and each project as task. Then, we use the notes to keep everyone updated on the next steps to follow. Using the notes allows us to send a notification by email to each employee as soon as something is moving on the project!
What feature do you use most in Producteev?
We mainly use the web app since we are always in the studio and we stay behind our computers for days when it is time to finish big projects. The feature we use the most is definitely the emails and the notifications by this channel.
How did you manage your tasks before you use Producteev?
I just put everything I could think about on a calendar or on my agenda and then I had to manually send emails to everyone to notify them. Finally, each employee had to recreate their own task-list on a piece of paper. Now with Producteev I can share all the information with the entire company, which is much more powerful and productive. I don't have any doubt on the quality of our work, but this kind of tool helps us to be more organized and efficient.
Thank you for your time and stay Producteev!

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
At the half: Marquette taming a Tiger
The Golden Eagles were astonishingly good in the first five minutes against LSU. Making 7 of their first 10 shots, they were up, 17-3, out of the chute.
It was by far the best first half Marquette has played this season. Up by as many as 21 points, it led, 45-33, at the break.
Put it this way - the Golden Eagles scored just 47 points in an entire game Wednesday night in the ugly loss at UW-Green Bay. They came within two of that ouput in one half against the Tigers, who tried to make it interesting with a late 8-0 run.
Marquette has a history this season of playing better in second half. It's hard to imagine how it will match this first half. We'll see.
Todd Mayo played for the first time this season after coming off academic ineligibility. He came in at the timeout after the 17-3 lead and came back later. His three-point attempt at the first-half buzzer was blocked.

Climate change is not just in the future. It is already having serious effects, says the latest UNDP Human Development Report.
Africa "has the lightest carbon footprint but is likely to pay the heaviest price in the coming century for human-induced climate change." Meanwhile, Texas, with a population of 23 million, produces more carbon emissions than the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, with 720 million people.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains a brief summary of the new report, from http://allafrica.com, and excerpts from two short notes provided by the UNDP, one a summary on Africa and the other a note on Mozambique's forward-looking disaster planning.
The entire report, as well as numerous shorter press releases and case studies, is available on-line at
Another AfricaFocus Bulletin sent out today contains excerpts from the Africa chapter of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Both reports were released last month in time for the UN Climate Change Conference, scheduled for Bali, Indonesia, 3-14 December 2007. Both reports stress the need not only to slow climate change but only to prepare for the effects that are already visible and certain to increase.
Previous AfricaFocus Bulletins on climate change issues include:
Africa: Neglecting Agriculture, 2
Sahel: Beyond Any Drought?
Africa: Up in Smoke?
Africa: Economics of Climate Change
Africa: Environmental Threats/Opportunities
Africa: Africa's Lakes
East Africa: Dams and Lake Victoria

Five wild moments of fan interference in the MLB postseason
What makes a baseball fan throw caution to the wind and risk life and limb when a ball is hit within 50 feet of him? We're not sure, but we do know that there have been many instances over the years where the action on the field has spilled into the stands. With baseball's postseason upon us, here are some especially noteworthy instances of fan interference.
1. Steve Bartman/Moises Alou (2003)The situation: Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series, with the Chicago Cubs leading the Florida Marlins 3-0 in the bottom of the eighth inning at Wrigley Field. The Cubs were five outs away from their first World Series appearance since 1945. What happened: Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo hit a high foul ball toward the stands down the left field line. As Cubs left fielder Moises Alou reached for the ball, so did a fan named Steve Bartman. The ball bounced off Bartman's hand and into the stands, and Alou and the Cubs pleaded for a ruling of fan interference to no avail. Castillo walked on the next pitch, starting an eight-run rally aided by a key error by Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez. The outcome: The Marlins won the game 8-3 to force Game 7, which they won 9-6 to capture their second National League pennant. Florida would go on to beat the Yankees in six games to win its second world championship. Bartman's gaffe became embedded in the lore of a franchise which last won a World Series in 1908. 2. Tony Tarrasco/Jeffrey Maier (1996)The situation: Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series, with the Orioles leading the Yankees 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning. What happened: Yankees rookie shortstop Derek Jeter hit a fly ball to deep right field off Orioles reliever Armando Benitez. Right fielder Tony Tarasco backed up to the wall and reached up to make the catch, but a fan -- later identified as 11-year-old Jeffrey Maier -- reached over the fence and tried to catch the ball before Tarasco could do so. Umpire Rich Garcia ruled it a home run despite vehement protests by Tarasco, Benitez and Orioles manager Davey Johnson. The outcome: The game went into extra innings, and Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams won it in the 11th inning with a solo home run. New York went on to win the series in five games en route to its first World Series title since 1978. 3. Shane Victorino (2009)The situation: Two outs, bottom of the eighth inning of Game 5 of the 2009 National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, with Philadelphia leading 9-4. What happened: With a runner on first base, Philadelphia's Shane Victorino hit a deep fly ball to right field off Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario that caromed off the top of the fence. Umpire Ted Barrett quickly ruled that a fan had touched the ball, limiting Victorino to a double. The outcome: The runner on first, shortstop Jimmy Rollins, scored the final run in a 10-4 Phillies victory that clinched the NLCS and sent Philadelphia to its second straight World Series. 4. Robinson Cano (2010)The situation: Game 4 of the 2010 American League Championship Series, scoreless in the bottom of the second inning at Yankee Stadium. What happened: Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano hit a towering drive to right field that bounced off the top of the fence and into the seats for a home run. Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz leaped at the wall trying to catch the ball and claimed that a fan interfered with the play. The outcome: Umpire Jim Reynolds ruled that the home run would stand. The Rangers, however, would rally and pull away for a 10-3 win and would go on to win the ALCS in six games on the way to their first World Series berth. 5. Nelson Cruz/Matt Holliday (2011)The situation: Game 3 of the 2011 World Series, with the Cardinals leading the Rangers 14-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning. What happened: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz hit a sacrifice fly to his Cardinals counterpart, Matt Holliday. As Holliday camped under the ball, a fan in the left field bleachers tossed another ball onto the field. It landed several feet to Holliday's left. Holliday made the play. The outcome: The fan was ejected from the game, and the Cardinals went on to a 16-7 win. St. Louis would capture its 11th World Series championship after rallying twice to win a memorable Game 6, then capturing Game 7, 6-2. |
