How To Update a Live Website via SVN
Do you want to use SVN to update your website? This guide will help you and includes information not found anywhere else on how to get it working. Many websites give basic information and comments complain about it not working. If those other website didn't work for you. This will.
After digging around for hours and seeing everyone complain about having the same problems after being told the same solutions, I decided to figure it out for myself. If you read this carefully you too will have a website setup that can be updated via subversion.
Getting Started
I'm going to assume that your SVN server and website are on the same machine and that you are using Apache to serve both. I'm also going to assume that you are somewhat familiar with SVN and Apache. I'm not going to go into much detail on how to get everything setup from scratch.
The tools you will need to have installed are as follows (may need more depending on your configuration). Apache HTTPd, Subversion, and gcc.
Many Linux users and distributions use sudo. I do not, and I will not provide information on how to use sudo. My recommendation, before doing anything, is to type sudo su which will make you root. Do everything from there so you don't have to sudo anymore.
Setup a new SVN repository
Alright, now we are going to setup the new SVN repository. This can be done easily with:
svnadmin create <path to repository>
Place it in a good location that you will remember since you need to point Apache to it. In my examples we are going to use /home/www/domain/svn/website/ for our project location and /home/www/domain/htdocs/ for our website.
For user access controls I use a 2 part process. I have an authz and passwd file in the root of my SVN directory (/home/www/domain/svn/). The reason I do this is because I host several SVN projects and I don't want everyone to have access to everything. This way I can also setup (this comes later) Apache to have read-only access to the repository.
First, we need to create our authz and passwd files. Lets call them svn.authz and svn.passwd so we know what they are for.
In the svn.authz file we need something like this:
[groups] project = dkun other1 = dkun, someguy website = dkun, friend1 readonly = redmine,apache [project:/] @project = rw @readonly = r * = [other1:/] @other1 = rw * = [website:/] @website = rw @readonly = r * =
Looks a bit overwhelming. Let me explain.
Starting from the top, we have [groups]. These are groups of users that we give project names to. Notice that 2 of the projects have more that one user. There is also a read-only group. You can name the groups what every you want. I do it by project name to make it easy to read.
After that you see [project:/]. This is the project group. It has one user and is set to read/write. It also has a readonly group. This way I can setup both Apache and Redmine with read only access.
Lastly you might have noticed *=. What is that? It turns off anonymous access. So unless your project has code going out to the web, make sure to put this in.
Now we need to setup the svn.passwd file. This is pretty easy. Just type:
htpasswd svn.passwd <username>
You will be prompted for the password. That's it! Pretty easy right? Just don't forget to setup the user apache (keep it lower case, trust me), and any others you might need.
Setup Apache
Now that we have SVN and out new project setup, we need to configure Apache to serve everything. Setup your VirtualHost to point to where you want your website to be hosted from. So for me it would be /home/www/domain/htdocs/. I'm going to assume you already know how to do this. All you need to add is a little directive.
<DirectoryMatch "^/.*/\.svn/"> Order deny,allow Deny from all </DirectoryMatch>
This will stop someone from browsing your .svn folder on the website.
Now setup an SVN VirtualHost. This gets a bit more complicated. I'm going to avoid going into detail here. I want to assume you have some background.
In your Virtual host we need to set a few options and point to the SVN repository root. Here is an example of the options you need to put inside the VirtualHost section for SVN to work. Don't forget to set other items you need!
<Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /home/www/domain/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "My SVN Repository" AuthUserFile /home/www/domain/svn/svn.passwd AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/www/domain/svn/svn.authz Require valid-user </Location> <Directory /home/www/domain/svn> Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Note all the directories. Change them to match your server. Also, verify that your SVN modules are enabled in Apache. They should be in your apache.conf or httpd.conf (depending on your server). You will need to enable:
LoadModule dav_svn_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so
That's it! Now type apachectl configtest and you will get messages back if there is a problem in your Apache config. If it is a warning about your website directory missing, don't worry. Just create the directory and give full ownership to the apache user (We will get back to this in a moment).
Before continuing, restart Apache with apachectl restart and make sure your SVN works! If it does not then the next section will fail.
Do some weird stuff with Apache
Here is where things get a little weird. This is also where 99% of people fail because there is no good information out there. I will do my best to explain what to do and why you should do it.
The first step is you need to find out what user and group Apache runs under. For me, both are apache, but for you it could use www or www-user. You can find this by checking /etc/passwd and /etc/group, or by going through your apache.conf file and look for User and Group directives.
Now look in /etc/passwd for the apache user. The second to last option shows Apache's home directory. In my case it is /srv/httpd. Go to that directory and type:
chown apache.apache ./
Set the user and group to which ever Apache runs under. This will allow Apache to create new directories there without changing ownership of anything else. Also, that is just one (1) period before the slash!
Open /etc/passwd and find the apache user again. At the end of the line you should see something like /bin/false. This keeps the Apache user from logging in. This is for security reasons. We are going to temporarily change it to /bin/bash.
Now that you are already root, type:
su – apache
Once again I assume your Apache's user is apache. Adjust as needed.
Now you are logged in as the Apache user. You should see a new shell and be ready to go. Make sure you are in the /var/httpd directory (as stated previously as being Apache's home directory) by typing pwd. If you are, then you have created a new session and are ready for the next step.
Navigate to the directory where the website will be served from. So if the website is in /home/www/domain/htdocs/ then go one level up; /home/www/domain/. Now we are going to perform an SVN checkout and have subversion remember our credentials.
svn co http://<domain>/svn/website
Adjust the http directive as needed. If you use SSL have subversion permanently accept the certificate. You should see a prompt for apache's password. This is the password you created for it in svn.passwd. Type it in and when asked if you want to store the password, say yes!
If everything went as planned then you should see a successful checkout as revision 0. If not… well you did something wrong. Double check your paths, apache config files, and passwords. If needed, you may need to give ownership of the directory to Apache so that user can create a new directory and write to it.
Check to make sure a .subversion directory was created in Apache's home directory and that there is a .svn folder in /home/www/domain/htdocs/. If now you need to give ownership of that directory to the Apache user (you will have to be root for this). If there is so .svn directory, then change ownership of the htdocs directory to Apache and run the checkout again.
If everything went smoothly then we are done as the Apache user. Type logout to return to being root.
Last thing. Open up /etc/passwd and change /bin/bash back to /bin/false. No need to have a security hole.
Create an executable
Now that we have SVN, Apache, and a SVN checkout setup, we can finally finish this. The first thing you need to do is find where svn is located:
whereis svn svn: /usr/bin/svn /usr/man/man1/svn.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/svn.1.gz
As you can see, I used whereis to find the svn executable. It's the first one, /usr/bin/svn.
Navigate over to the htdocs directory. Open up your favorite text editor and dump this in it:
#include <stddef.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { execl("/usr/bin/svn", "svn", "update", "/home/www/domain/htdocs/", (const char *) NULL); return(EXIT_FAILURE); }
See where the directives of /usr/bin/svn and /home/www/domain/htdocs/ are? Just change those to match your server. Save the file as update.c and just back to the shell.
Now we need to compile the program:
cc -o update update.c
This will create an executable called update. You can call it what ever you want, just as long as before renaming it you type chown apache.apache update; chmod +s update. It should be owned by the Apache user.
Setup post-commit
Just over to your SVN repository, then into the hooks directory. So if you were following, cd /home/www/domain/svn/website/hooks. There you will see a bunch of .tmpl files. Rename of copy post-commit.tmpl to post-commit, then chmod 755 post-commit.
cp post-commit.tmpl post-commit chmod 755 post-commit
Open post-commit in your editor. You may see a bunch of stuff in there. Just put a hash (#) sign in front of any other commands there. They are examples. Add:
That's it. Don't add sh, or bash to the front, just put in the path with executable at the end. Save and exit.
Try it!
Now, as long as you followed along and I didn't skip anything. This should work. Try it out. Try committing something to SVN and see what happens! If you can view the website right away, they you did it correctly. If now, you should check your apache log files. Specifically error_log. If SVN threw an error you will have to see what went wrong there. Sometimes just putting a commit message in will fix any error.
That's it. I hope you found this informative. Please feel free to drop my a comment below if you have anything you wish to add or just want to say thanks for the info. I appreciate all feedback. Thanks for reading!

Bet you're wondering how a book without pictures has managed to land on a website devoted to books with pictures.
Well…How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba-Sized Trophy is just one of those books. It is…gasp, pictureless, but it's so wonderful, it doesn't need them to be featured here. It's so funny and well-written, you won't be able to put it down. Really! So it is with a chest-full of pride and admiration that I present this hilarious, "pictureless," cream-cheese-filled debut book by talented African American author Crystal Allen!
Black History Month is a time to celebrate the monumental strides African Americans have made in their personal, professional and academic lives. It's also a time to celebrate great books written by, for and about African Americans—especially when one of those books features a smooth-talking 13-year old African American main character who happens to be a bowling protégé with a bad case of asthma and a propensity for pranks.
I am, of course, speaking about the undefeatable Lamar Washington—the confident, ever-optimistic hero of debut author Crystal Allen's unforgettable 'tween novel, How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba-sized Trophy.
Allen's first novel has everything a 'tween or teen could want in great reading: Humor, sadness, sibling smack-downs, sports…and a healthy dose of lip-smacking lip-action underneath the middle-school bleachers.
The book opens to Lamar falling—hard—for pretty Makeda Phillips. Unfortunately, Makeda doesn't take Lamar seriously, because last year, Lamar and his best friend Sergio said Makeda's forehead was so big, it was actually a "five-head!" The joke seemed harmless at the time, but when Lamar realizes how much his words have hurt Makeda, it's not funny anymore. Now all he wants is to change his image from prankster to potential boyfriend.
To undo the damage, Lamar tries to show Makeda his serious side. That's not easy to do without money, though, so when resident bad-boy Billy Jenks devises a bowling scheme to make fast money, Lamar—the hottest bowler at Striker's Bowling Paradise—is all for it. The money is so good, Lamar even feels better about the fact that he's never won a trophy to place on the mantel, like his trophy-winning brother, Xavier the Basketball Savior.
Things go so well, Lamar ignores Sergio's warnings about Billy's dangerous side. Then things suddenly go sour. With Billy egging him on, Lamar pulls the worst prank ever. In a flash, his brother's scholarship is in jeopardy, Makeda wants to break up, Sergio isn't speaking to him, and the whole town thinks he's a jerk.
How's that for excitement?
Allen's characters are well-rounded and believable enough to make you laugh, cry and keep flipping those pages until the story is done. The pacing is good, the plot and sub-plots are fresh and meticulously-written, and the voices ring with authenticity. I especially love the warm and fuzzy images Allen weaves throughout the story: Grannies nodding off in their rocking chairs on the porch; bowling balls making their unique thunder-rumble as they roll down the lanes and topple the pins; and fathers working so many hours, they don't see what's going on right under their noses.
For a touch of the sentimental and a giant glob of laugh-out-loud, be sure to read, How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba-sized Trophy. Just click on the icon above and reserve your copy.
Holy crackers and cream cheese, it's good!

Awake, My Soul (Nephi's Psalm)
Submitted Hymn Texts, Submitted Music (2007-2011)
My God hath been my strength through all my days.
He's filled me with His love; His name I praise.
Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin.
Rejoice, my heart! Give praise to God again.
Why should my soul then linger in despair?
Why should I weep, and sin my soul ensnare?
Give place no more to anger, sloth, or pride.
In God I'll trust; in Him I will abide.

Schedule: Women's Round 4 (Heats 1-4)
Conditions: 3-to-5-foot faces at Lower Trestles
Opening Day Recap
Round 4
Heat 4: Alessa Quizon (HAW) vs. Johanne Defay (FRA)
Heat 4 pitted two Tour rookies against each other in bumpy conditions. Alessa Quizon took the early lead, with a 7.33. Johanne Defay logged a midrange 5-pointer, as they each scouted the horizon for a set wave.
As the minutes ticked down, the ocean went flat and each surfer sat waiting for another wave. With fewer than five minutes left on the clock, Defay finally found a wave that earned her a 3.00. Despite the small score, it moved her into first place. Quizon found the just the lip of a wave, but didn't drop in. When the horn sounded, the Hawaiian was still without the score she needed and her run at Trestles was over.
Results: Johanne Defay 8.83, Alessa Quizon 7.63
Heat 3: Dimity Stoyle (AUS) vs. Bianca Buitendag (ZAF)
South African Bianca Buitendag started out strong with a 9-pointer than put her in the lead. As the arguable dark horse of the competition, she worked her backhand hacks in crumbly waves. Aussie Dimity Stoyle tallied two midrange scores, but left her trailing her opponent.
After the midway point, Buitendag backed up her 9-pointer with a 6.60, putting Stoyle in a combo situation where she needed two new scores to catch up. Buitendag again scored big, with an 8.63, and putting further pressure on her opponent. Stoyle made a valiant effort to fight back, with a solid frontside ride. She earned a 7.03 before it was over, but it wasn't enough to keep her in the game. Buitendag won and advanced.
"I made the biggest mistake," said Stoyle. "I paddled for the first wave of the set. I missed the wave, and the one behind it, Bianca got that 9-pointer on it. I was pretty frustrated w myself. I tried to shake it off. I loosened up toward the end of the heat, but I missed my opportunity. I knew it was going to be a tight battle between us."
Results: Bianca Buitendag 17.73, Dimity Stoyle 15.13
Heat 2: Carissa Moore (HAW) vs. Lakey Peterson (USA)
In a highly-anticipated matchup, reigning World Champion Carissa Moore faced off against California charger Lakey Peterson. The competitors spent most of the opening minutes hunting the lineup until small sets allowed for similar opening rides, a slight nod going toward Peterson.
The late exchange also went Peterson's way when she put up an air reverse for a 7.50 and a solid lead over the current rankings leader. An excellent 8.17 for Peterson sealed the deal. The Santa Barbara native pulls off the upset and advances into the Quarterfinals. The win not only ended Moore's campaign at Trestles, but bumped her from her top spot in the rankings. Sally Fitzgibbons was trailing Moore by 200 points, but her Quarterfinals advance moves her into No. 1.
"You have to surf the best you can surf to beat her," Peterson said of her opponent. "My whole thing going in was just to stick to my game and not worry what she was doing."
Result: Lakey Peterson, 15.67, def. Carissa Moore, 12.76
Heat 1: Pauline Ado (FRA) vs. Laura Enever (AUS)
After a day off, the women were back in the water for the second elimination round. Pauline Ado drew first blood, notching a midrange five to open her campaign. Laura Enever, however, earned the better score of the exchange, throwing the tail of her board out on a series of powerful carves.
Both surfers mistimed their mid-heat takeoffs, but Ado managed a few clean carves and matched her opener for the lead change. With a big opening turn and a layout to close, Enever took it back, earning a 6.07 with eight minutes remaining. Ado had a few opportunities for scores but was unable to find the excellent eight-point ride needed to overcome the gap. Ado's equal ninth finish is her second this season.
"I was pretty nervous because we've been watching the boys surf all day, and they've been doing amazing, so being in that first girls heat I just wanted to get good waves," Enever said. "We didn't have many waves but I'm psyched I got what I did."
Result: Laura Enever, 13.90, def. Pauline Ado, 11.23

There are times when I am blessed with a non-English speaking client and it is usually a bitter-sweet experience. I say that I am blessed with these clients because I always look forward to the times when I get to meet new people through my work experience, does not matter if they speak English or not! However, the experience is bitter-sweet as communication can be difficult.
I utilize an interpreter (via telephone), and while I am grateful for a service provider that can be available whenever I need it, it can be frustrating at times. Besides the fact that your call can get disconnected, I find it difficult to maintain eye contact with the client as I try to speak to the interpreter.
Eye contact is important, says a lot and means a lot in a therapeutic setting. Strong eye contact can mean they are engaged, understand what you are saying, aware and focused, to name a few. Minimal to no eye contact can indicate an internal struggle, shame, guilt, avoidance, deception, to name a few.
When using an interpreter, you are encouraged to maintain eye contact with your client, not the interpreter. You should continue observing the client's body language and look for non-verbals. However, I find myself trying to make more eye contact with the telephone and less with the client!
I decided to pay closer attention to what happens during the session when using an interpreter and one thing stood out for me: the client mirrored my behavior. They would look at the phone when I did, but if I happen to remember to make eye contact with them while talking to the interpreter, they also made eye contact with me when responding.
An interpreter provides a valuable service as they help you to understand what your client is saying and allows the client's words to be interpreted. An interpreter acts as a guide throughout the session. I certainly value their service. Since I do not use an interpreter frequently, it always seems like a new challenge when the need arises. However, it is important to remember that the client is the main focus in the session.
If you have used or frequently use an interpreter I would love to hear your experience.

OpenGL video capture application. Easy and fast. Totally worth the try.
Created by Pyry Haulos
Cons: GLC is not always good with sound. It is highly dependent on the actual game being played. You may get great sound, or you may get seriously messed up sound.
It is completely operated from within a Terminal, thus meaning it is only CLI. Not exactly user friendly. GLC guides/tutorials are rather scarce. Its official website is down as well.
Pros: High quality videos of the games it records. The only way I am currently able to record fullscreen games is with GLC. Seems to work great with Opensource games, not so much closed source games.
Best thing, it is capable of recording Wine games as well. PlayOnLinux also has a new feature that uses GLC to record gameplay from Wine games. Very nifty, but rather difficult to setup.
GLC is the way to do high-resolution, high-fps recordings of games that run using OpenGL and ALSA on Linux (I use Arch).
If you use PulseAudio or OSS instead, there should be ways for you to capture the audio separately for adding it to the video later.
I use FFmpeg for converting it to video. In the past, I used Mencoder.

Outsider Games have launched a Kickstarter for their new project, Jennifer Wilde.
At the start of the Jazz Age in Paris in 1921, young French artist Jennifer Chevalier becomes embroiled in death, espionage and revolution which takes her across the three nations of France, England and Ireland – ably assisted by the ghost of Oscar Wilde.
Jennifer believes the recent death of her father was no 'accident'. Finding a chained locket in her father's hotel, Jennifer attempts to use her childhood gift for talking to ghosts to call his spirit back. Unwittingly, the ghost recalled is that of Oscar Wilde, famous Irish playwright, whose affair with Jennifer's father has bound his ghost to the locket.
Jennifer and Oscar find themselves involved in schemes of murder, ghosts and intrigue as they attempt to solve Jennifer's father's murder, and develop a deep friendship along the way…
Based on the best-selling and award winning comic from Atomic Diner.

Not to be outdone by the Republican National Convention last week, the Democratic National Convention convening today in Philadelphia will also have roughly 50,000 attendees and, like Cleveland, roughly 1 restaurant for every 5,000 people coming to throw the confetti around.
While the City of Brotherly Love may be the place where Rocky scaled the Philadelphia Museum of Art's steps, it's also known—and beloved—for its cheesesteaks. Those are hard to eat for three days in a row, especially when you're trying to eat healthfully, so Clean Plates asked Philadelphia Inquirer Restaurant Critic Craig LaBan where diners can go to find better-for-you fare. Here are his insider picks:
Several Spots Where You Could Run Into Bill: Farmer's Markets
The covered brick arcade of the shambles at Headhouse Square in Society Hill has been a market destination since Colonial times, and since it was revived in 2007, its Sunday markets have become the region's premier showplace for ripe heirloom produce, grass-fed meats, cheeses, artisan ice cream and vegan food trucks—the latter of which vegan and potential First Dude Bill Clinton would no doubt want to check out. If you're looking for local produce on Saturday, the market at Rittenhouse Square (which also runs Tuesday) is the place to go. Meanwhile, the Fair Food Farmstand, inside the Reading Terminal Market, has done a great job of gathering a wide assortment of seasonal local foods and products. For a complete list of farm markets in the region, here's a recently updated complete list from Philly.com.
When You Just Want Veggies: Vedge
Serious vegetable gourmets likely already know about Vedge, the pioneering fine dining restaurant from chef-couple Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby that is considered by many to be the best vegan restaurant in America; it requires planning months ahead to get a table, so just tell them Hillary sent you. V-Street, their more casual concept across town near Rittenhouse Square, is a perfect spot to experience their produce-forward spins on international street foods, from smoky "carrots as ado" to spicy trumpet mushroom bulgogi. The inventive cocktails are also fantastic. Here's Craig's review. (See this link for the complete round-up of Philly's creative and burgeoning vegan scene.)
Where to Go For Pho—And Not Feel Faux—Near the Convention Center: Chinatown
Conventioneers are just a block away from one of the best Chinatowns in America, which showcases a wide range of Asian specialties, from soup dumplings (Dim Sum Garden) to hand-drawn noodles (Spice C), to spicy Burmese tea leaf salads (Rangoon), ramen (Terakawa) and old-school Cantonese favorites (Lee How Fook). One old standard that never fails to impress, however, is Vietnam Restaurant, a family-run homage to Vietnamese classics served in a multi-floor townhouse redone in evocative French-Colonial style. Don't miss the BBQ meat platter sampler.
When You're Sick of Your Fellow Conventioneers: Fishtown-Kensington
Take a short Uber ride or simply hop the Market-Frankford El and head east to begin exploring the hip and happening Fishtown-Kensington neighborhoods, the most exciting and fast-evolving food zones in the city. Full of gastropubs, half a dozen distilleries, coffee roasters, grass-fed whole butchers, brewers, an artisan bagel shop and a rapidly growing collection of ambitious restaurants, this is Philly's strong and distinctive answer to Brooklyn. For a complete guide of what not to miss, check-out Craig LaBan's 47 favorite spots.
The Ultimate Dine-In Your Hotel Room Food: Di Bruno Bros.
This has been a fixture in the Italian Market since 1939, and the tiny original store on Ninth Street, jam-packed with imported cheeses, olive barrels, pastas, oils and salumi remains one of Craig's favorite places in the city to linger and taste. The current generation of family ownership has taken the company to the next level, spreading their craft cheese gospel to multiple locations around the region, including a mega-store near Rittenhouse Square that—especially for cheese—could compete with any specialty market anywhere.
Starting the Day Right, Right Here: Talula's Daily
An all-day market-café on leafy Washington Square attached to Aimee Olexy's beautiful Talula's Garden, is a perfect place to linger around a communal country table over a "Healthy Start" scone, bowl of housemade granola or daily frittata, with a cup of La Colombe coffee and fizzy glass of local Baba's Bucha kombucha to wash it down.
The Farm in Philly: Russet
The farm-to-table movement has become such standard practice in recent years, the legit chefs no longer mention it. But a couple places bring an especially unique approach, including Helm, a BYOB in fast-emerging lower Kensington that is drawing on seasonal produce from formerly blighted plots of North Philly's urban farms. Chef Andrew Wood, meanwhile, has the city-country situation down pat. He serves hyper-seasonal, locally-sourced meats with a rustic Italian flair at Russet, his charming BYOB near the Kimmel Center, and also directs the menus at bucolic Wyebrook Farm, an idyllic sustainable meat farm with rolling vistas of the Brandywine Creek from its stone barn terrace in Chester County that's worth a visit if you have time for a detour to the country.

Late winter is a wonderful time in the San Joaquin Valley: leafy winter crops are in seasonal full force, and citrus fruits are in ripe abundance, their trees scenting the air with the blossoms of next year's crop. I'm fortunate to have Meyer lemon and navel orange trees on the property I rent, and there are still the fruits of both to enjoy even as the fragrance of their pale blooms fills the house through windows and doors that can stand open on the spring-like days we're having now.

Crown of brussels: the tastiest green you've probably never eaten
I get a weekly CSA box of organic fruits and vegetables from though Ooooby, which is administrated here by Fresno Food Commons. Because California's San Joaquin Valley has mild winters, crops grow here year round, and you can eat seasonally yet lavishly in great variety. A recent box contained a vegetable called crown of brussels, which as you might suspect, is the top of a brussels sprout plant. [Read more…]

What Happened To Target's Canadian Brand?
Let's first ask the question, " What Is A Brand?".
It's not a Logo , it's not a Name….a brand is a series of expectations that people have of your product or service, based on the promises you've made.
Using that as the definition of a brand, answering the question of what happened to Target's Brand in Canada, it was broken from the moment they opened their doors. They didn't keep their promises, lower prices, more selection, and so on.
They broke their promises, and now they are closing 133 stores in Canada….why? Because you didn't trust them when they said they would make good on their promises. You had a bad experience with Target Canada.
So what's your businesses Brand? Have you gone the traditional Industrial Age way of thinking, where your brand is a logo or a name, and don't really care, or have you decided to give your market positive experiences, based on the promises you kept, reflecting how much you do care. The later is the new connected business model, it's open & it's free….The Open & Free Business Model.
Do You Have Business Faith?
There it is…. the question, do you have business faith? That question leads me to the very core of your fear, the fear of what it means to be Open & Free. It ultimately means, you must trust the people formerly known as consumers. How do you do that, how do you trust people you may never know on a personal level? And what does faith mean to you?
Faith is described in the dictionary, as taken from http://dictionary.reference.com:
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
3. belief in god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.
4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty.
5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith.
6. the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith.
7. the observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath, allegiance, etc.: He was the only one who proved his faith during our recent troubles.
8. Christian Theology . the trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.
The best description of faith (to me) is taken from the Bible: Hebrews 11:1 – Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
I like that statement on faith for primarily one thing, it means we believe that something good is coming, something good will happen, and we want to hang on to that notion because it actually is a driving force within us.
If you didn't have faith, why are you in business? You are in the business your in because you have hope, faith for a result better than what you have now. The Open & Free Business Model practices just that, it forces you the business owner to trust people, to have faith not only in them, but in yourself. We have a desired outcome in most everything we do, but we can't see it physically, we do however see it as a vision, maybe what you might call a dream. My good friend Rick Rake is a dreamer, and he practices dreaming (see his Blog), he can see a better world, a better way, and a better place to be in life, and in business. He says, don't stop dreaming! I love it, he is always forward thinking. To me, I think, the dream never dies, just the dreamer.
Business faith needs to happen on many levels, you have to risk on those levels, only you can decide what that might be. I encourage you to look deep inside and try to identify what fear is preventing you from having business faith, what is stopping you from trusting people to actually use your product/service. I would suggest to you that fear is root in a lie. Why? Because people are creatures of habit, you already know what they're going to do and what risk they will take. It's a calculate risk on your part! You also know, in the future (the next 3 -5 years), those very people will not be forced to do what the business world at large does today, it forces people to pay before getting any value. That's the old model of business faith, you pay first, then they have faith.
The Open & Free Business Model requires that you have true business faith, that you have confidence in your product or service, that you would even dare to give some of those products and services away for free. This kind of business faith takes a longer span of time to see the results you have hope for, but in the long run, you will get followers of your business, you will get the attention of enough people, that will crystallize what it means to have business faith. Having an Open & Free Business Model = Business Faith.
Are you sure of what you hope for? Are you certain of what you can not see?

Lessons From Fashion's Free Culture – Open & Free!
I love it when I find evidence that Copyright Protection doesn't generate the same kind of revenue that an Open & Free Business Model does, it puts a smile on my face. No it's not perfect, but neither is Copyright Protected sectors, they are failing miserably in this new open business model, they are trying to function within it and still can't figure out what to do. Why? They are trying to use old industrial age thinking on a model that doesn't require alot of control. Some control yes, but not nearly enough to keep everyone comfortable.
Companies that practice or use the big C (Copyright) are struggling to function in the New Open Marketplace, where FREE is almost impossible to compete with, so don't compete! There are many, many sectors that do not qualify for Copyright Protection, and they generate more revenues than most with Copyright Protection. Copyright is about one thing and one thing only, control! I'm generalizing of course, but that's the core motive when you strip all away.
Here is a TED Talk that is very interesting, with much to think about, food for thought.
Johanna Blakely: Lessons from fashion's free culture.
The Two Most Misunderstood Words On The NET
A lot of words are misunderstood, that's a given, but here online there are two that really mess people up. Now, I see tough times ahead for TV, Newspapers, Magazines, Music Stores, Book Stores and so on, these are the obvious ones. In fact, most major corporations are trying to figure out how to make these two words work for them. The problem isn't the words, the problem is in the past, it's called the Industrial age.
Remember when Social Media first came on the scene, your boss heard the words Social Media and freaked out. The picture that came to mind was people standing around a water cooler and not working, just shooting the breeze. I'm certain that is still a problem in most businesses, but they are dead wrong. Yes, Social Media is misunderstood, but those aren't the two words I'm talking about now.
The two most misunderstood words are, Open & Free. Open & Free is a business model, and they are completely taken the wrong way, much like Social Media was and is still today. Open means many things, here online, they can mean, open systems and transparency. Free does not always mean free literally, but sometimes it does, and that's where the rub is for business owners.
Open & Free are trying to achieve a balance the same way Sharing vs Piracy is trying to gain credibility. The problem as I mentioned earlier is, old thinking, we have to unlearn most of what we understand in the old business model of control. How you ask. The best way is to hire someone like myself that sees the world of business online as it will be, not as it is. I don't mean someone who is guessing, someone who can show you in a methodical way that makes sense, in a simple way you understand. The future of business is not that hard to see, but it is if you're using old eyes, the way you've always done things. Remember a primary principle, you don't know what you don't know.
Using the Open & Free Business Model in your business takes work, starting with looking at your business in a new and exciting way. Open may mean that you are giving your customers access to you, if you have been hiding from them before. In this new world business of commerce, you can't hide anymore, you must connect with those who are buying and using your product and services. This isn't new to some, but most still try to control who gets to them, and I'm betting it's not going so well.
Free may mean you are selling a three part product or service, and you are giving part one away for free, and then charging for access to the other two parts. It could be a product, or it could be a consulting service. I have over simplified it here for you but it's not this simple really, there's much, much more to this model than described here.
If you want to learn more about The Open & Free Business Model, snoop around this blog for more posts, attend my workshop if you are local to me, hire me as a think-tank leader, and lastly, you can wait for my book to come out.
Open & Free are lonely words because they are The Two Most Misunderstood Words On The Internet Today.
When Bright People Meet
I recently held a workshop and some of the smartest people in my community were there, great things happen when smart people meet, all you have to do is get out of the way. The workshop was on the topic of how to give your content away and generate revenue, the open & free business model, or free content business model. We discussed what was happening out there on the interweb, and we talked about what it meant to each one of them. The reality is, many of us are still trying to find our way, and most of us don't know someone with arms length that has figured it out. Maybe it's not important, maybe it's more important to participate, build your plan, and then work your plan.
One of my goals in 2010 is to help 100 businesses with the new (old) business model, to show them which direction the tidal wave is coming from, and then help them ride it rather than get wiped out because they were looking the other way, Denial to foresight. When talking to business owners, the Internet is still just an add-on to their existing business. The concept of a social business or an open business is so foreign to them, a glazed look comes over their eyes after a few moments, which tells you they don't understand. I suspect, many of these business owners don't want to look stupid, or be viewed like they don't know, so they act like they do. But when a business owners says ya I need to learn this stuff can you help me, I get pretty passionate about sharing and helping them.
I can tell you this, if you find business owners with an open mind, with a little humility, a desire to improve, feel they aren't using the Internet effectively just yet, be gentle, then share the future with them before the details of what to do next. The future is actually easy to see if you're looking at the world of business with the right perspective. Being out of the box means you are willing to adopt new ideas, it doesn't mean you make poor decisions. Some things are right under your nose, like cell phones, everything is going mobile. In the future this mobility will be embedded into everything, your prescription glasses, contact lenses, even our blood stream once Nanotechnology matures. Our automobiles will be driven by computers not us, they will have sharper senses than we do. It's already happening, just look around, the challenge is that this technology is not in the mainstream. It's over most of our heads, so we tend to stay in and work with things we understand. Why, we are wired to be in control, being out of control feels like CHAOS, so we are very uncomfortable in it. The open & free business model promotes that chaos, we don't know how to embrace it and more importantly trust it.
The best way to learn this new way of doing business is collaborate, to connect with those who are working on it, understand it, and show you how to get comfortable with the chaos. Is to create an environment where people can succeed, it's as simple as putting a team of smart people together in a room and asking some key questions, then sit back and listen. Just get out of the way and take notes. When smart people meet, great things happen.

Thee is no much left to say about these stinking crusties when there are a few ep's posted already here so there is no space for much ranting. This is a classic moment in Misery's long long history, Next time/Midnight was released by Profane Existence and Skuld Releases in 1997, 4000 copies were made, (a great number comparing the 500 or 1000 copies of records that come out nowadays) and its a long out of print. It came in gray vinyl,there were also a red version, Next time and Full on side A are heavy and emotional stenchcore songs while Midnight on side B is taken from an old recording of 1988 when Al Ternative was still in band (he joined Nausea a few years later).

You Can Now Have Alcohol Shipped Straight to Your Home
If you love alcohol, you'll be excited to know that you may no longer have to step out of your house to get it.
UPS now ships wine, beer, and liquor to consumers and businesses in 11 countries, including Canada, where residents across five provinces can now have alcohol delivered to their doorsteps.
That means that if you live in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, or our home, Ontario, you're pretty much covered for alcohol delivery through UPS.
These five provinces cover 95 per cent of all alcohol imports in Canada, according to UPS.
Wine connoisseurs will be pleased to know that they can have their favourite cases of wine shipped directly from the vineyards to their home, as beer lovers will be excited that they can have beer straight from their favourite breweries to their home using one of the UPS Express shipping services.
UPS says that shipments can arrive in as little as three days, depending on the destination. Alcohol shipments do require an adult signature upon delivery.
Wineries in particular can now reach 39 wine importing countries, including top markets like Canada, China, India, Mexico, and the U.K.
If you were curious about which countries produce and export the most wine, those include Italy, Spain, France, Chile, Australia, South Africa and the United States.
Europe is the market leader in wine production and consumption.
One small family-owned winery in Northern California that just started global shipping is called Boeger.
"It was hard telling our international visitors they couldn't have our wine because we couldn't get it to them," said Tara De La Rosa, hospitality and logistics manager at Boeger. "We are always looking for ways to expand globally and have our wines on tables around the world."
In terms of the delivery process, wineries, distilleries and breweries use UPS's Paperless Invoice system to simplify customs clearance.
Then, UPS provides automatic tracking and visibility allowing the consumer to follow an order on its global journey.
Finally, customers receive an email notification, in their own language, the day before the scheduled delivery.
While five provinces are covered, UPS says that some areas are restricted.

Morgan Stanley will pay $275 million to settle the charges that three of its entities misled investors in a pair of residential mortgage-backed securities the firms underwrote, sponsored and issued.
The Securities and Exchange Commission approved the settlement with the filing of an administrative order on Thursday. Morgan Stanley neither admitted nor denied the allegations in the settlement, which does not require court approval.
A spokesman for the firm told the Wall Street Journal it was "pleased to have settled this matter."
An SEC investigation found that Morgan Stanley understated the number of delinquent loans in two subprime RMBS securitizations, Morgan Stanley ABS Capital I Inc. Trust 2007-NC4 and Morgan Capital I Inc. Trust 2007-HE7. Disclosure of delinquency information is required under federal regulations.
In a regulatory filing in February, Morgan Stanley disclosed that it had reached an agreement in principle with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve the investigation.
"The delinquency status of mortgage loans in an RMBS securitization is vital information to investors because those loans are the primary source of funds by which they potentially can recover and profit from their investments," said Michael Osnato, chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Complex Financial Instruments Unit, in a statement. "Morgan Stanley understated the number of delinquent loans behind these securitizations during a critical juncture of the financial crisis and denied investors the full extent of the facts necessary to make informed investment decisions."
According to the SEC, the offering documents from these securitizations inaccurately stated that less than 1% of their loan pools' principal balances were delinquent at the time the securities were formed. The SEC said Morgan Stanley had a chart showing 17% of the loans in the HE7 securitization were delinquent on its cutoff date, but described the issue to investors as containing 1% delinquent loans by using payment data from a different date. Morgan Stanley also did not tell investors that it had to delay the closing of the NC4 securitization by a month, at which time the number of delinquent loans made up 4.5% of the total. Instead, it continued with the 1% figure.
With the fees paid in this case, a fair fund will be created to return money to harmed investors.

Each year, the last full weekend in June is designated as Free Fishing Days in New York State. During those two days, anyone can fish New York State waters and no fishing license is required.
This event started in 1991 to allow all people the opportunity to sample the incredible fishing New York State has to offer. Since no license is required, it is the perfect time to take a friend or relative fishing. In 2013, New York State's Free Fishing Days are Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30.
This is the perfect opportunity to try fishing for the first time or take a friend or relative fishing. With more than 7,500 lakes and ponds, and 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, there are plenty of places to try fresh water fishing in New York.
Saltwater anglers may also fish in marine waters or for migratory marine fish species without enrolling in the Recreational Marine Fishing Registry.
In addition to the June Free Fishing Days weekend, there are a number of "Free Fishing Events" held in various locations across the state. Free Fishing Events are DEC sponsored events (such as family fishing clinics) where participants can learn about fish identification, fishing equipment and techniques, fisheries management, angling ethics and aquatic ecology. Each of DEC's nine regions can sponsor up to four free fishing events per year. Most free fishing events occur during the period from April through October.
For a listing of currently posted events, please go to http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/27123.html, but be sure to check back periodically to see if additional events have been added.
So, first time anglers, as well as those who have drifted away from the sport, should take advantage of this opportunity to see how much fun fishing can be. For more information about Free Fishing Days, call the Buffalo fisheries office at (716) 851-7010 of the Allegany fisheries office at (716) 372-0645.

Promise, Peace, Prosperity
Published December 2011
While New Bremen, Ohio, is a village focused on shaping a prosperous future, it has never lost sight of its heritage or its history.
Founded in 1833 by a small group of settlers consisting largely of Bavarians and Hannoverians from what is today Germany, New Bremen occupies a prominent spot on the historic Miami and Erie Canal. Built between 1825 and 1845, the canal ran 249 miles between Cincinnati and Toledo, moving goods and people to ports all along the line.
Long past being the vital transportation link it once was, the canal today is valued for providing history lovers a glimpse into Ohio's past, as well as for offering recreational and sight-seeing opportunities to hikers and bikers. Thanks to the vision, hard work and financial support of the New Bremen Historic Association and the residents of New Bremen, assisted by state funding, the village is home to two major canal attractions:
Business and development
New Bremen's commitment is a proactive, focused approach dedicated to helping business and the 3,000 residents of this west-central Ohio community enjoy prosperity and quality of life together. Leading that effort are the New Bremen Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and the village's part-time economic development director.
Exemplifying New Bremen's pro-business economic climate is its Bunker Hill Industrial Park, just 10 miles from 1-75 and adjacent to the RJ Corman rail line bordering its east side. The 30-year-old CIC's first development effort, this shovel-ready park is zoned for light industrial operations and features fully developed sites ranging from 2 to 50 acres.
Bunker Hill's growing list of residents boasts companies that have found success in regional, national and international markets. Among these are:
Another prominent regional business operating in New Bremen, although not located in Bunker Hill, is the agricultural and energy cooperative TruPointe Cooperative, Inc. The 4,300-member, Piqua, Ohio-based organization operates a feed manufacturing facility.
Besides the historical charm of its canal history, New Bremen offers residents and visitors fun and entertainment in a variety of other ways, including:
Arts and culture
New Bremen residents and neighbors enjoy a variety of professional music, comedy and theatrical performances at New Bremen High School's James F. Dicke Auditorium, thanks to Lock One Community Arts. This volunteer committee supports the arts in Auglaize County, as well as neighboring Mercer and Shelby counties. For local movie buffs, the village hosts a wonderful jewel rarely found any more in small-town America: a state of the art, single-screen theater. Lock One Theater offers first-run movies and Hollywood classics.
Village of New Bremen Utilities
Established in 1908, the Village of New Bremen Utilities serves nearly 1,500 residential, commercial and industrial meters. Besides providing service to retail electrical customers, the five-member Electric Department also maintains traffic signals and street lights, and is heavily involved in the Village's extensive Christmas Lighting program.
As a member of AMP, New Bremen actively participates in numerous AMP programs and projects that help provide reliable energy and other benefits to the community and its citizen/owners. These include:
For more information on all that New Bremen has to offer, visit its website. www.newbremen.com
The Lock One Park features walkways containing "memorial" bricks that follow the diagonal lines of the canal.
Reconstructed Miami & Erie Canal Lock 1, completed in 2007.
Spanning the Miami & Erie Canal near Lions Club Park, the 147-year-old Morrison bowstring bridge is the oldest of its type in Ohio.

TENNIS: Bianca Birkenstock - A Glimmer of Hope
Not since the days of Amanda Coetzer has South Africa been able to proudly proclaim that it has a female tennis player to write home about. The allure of the USA and the institutional indifference to developing young talent has meant that youngsters either fall through the proverbial cracks into obscurity or seek greener pastures.
Tennis: HeronBridge Tennis Tour
On the 22 of February during the mid-term, the boys and girls first tennis team went on the first ever HeronBridge Tennis tour to Mpumalanga. We stayed in Karula Hotel where we had such a stunning time.
We set off on the Friday on a six hour bus trip to arrive excitedly at our destination. After quickly unpacking and taking a look at the Hotel, we all piled back on the bus to go and play Ten Pin Bowling at Riverside Mall. We played in two teams, the Aces, and the Love team. The Aces got shown how real bowling is played. We headed back to the Hotel and were rewarded after a long day with a five course meal. With full stomachs' and weary eyes, we all met in the games room where we quickly regained some energy for some very competitive games of Table Tennis and Pool. After all being defeated by Tara and Michael, we retreated to our rooms for a very much needed rest.
The following morning started bright and early with an amazing breakfast. Arriving at our first opponent's school, Penryn College, the twelve of us set out for the first day of tennis with sheer determination. We played doubles as well as mixed doubles. The mixed doubles were lots of fun. The girls won by 3 points.
The rest of the day was filled with lots more fun. We enjoyed a refreshing swim and headed back to the Mall where the male teachers and boys showed us what they were made of on the go karts. We ate ice cream and spent our money at the arcade. Again we had a delicious five course meal when we returned to the Hotel and spent the evening playing games and having lots of fun.
On the last day we woke up early to a rainy grey morning and started packing, unsure if we were going to be able to play tennis. We headed out to Uplands, where we swept the rain off the courts, determined to play our last matches. We played doubles, singles and mixed doubles. The girls won and unfortunately, the boys had very challenging opponents and lost, but with great sportsmanship. After everyone had had a shower and lunch at the Boarding House we returned to the bus, ready for our long trip home. It was filled with lots of sleep and a very good movie!
We all had lots of fun on this tour and enjoyed the experience touring as a mixed tennis team. All the boys, girls and teachers shared many funny and memorable moments that all contributed to great team building. We look forward to next years Tennis Tour and would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Braithwaite, and Mr. Jannekar for organizing and sharing this unforgettable tour with all of us.

Tennis: Glenwood and Stellenbosch Share the Spoils
On Wednesday, 4 May 2011, the Glenwood 1st Tennis Team travelled to Johannesburg for the annual Wayne Ferreira Tennis Tournament, hosted by Parktown Boys' High School. The 8 competing schools were divided into two pools of 4 teams each, with each pool playing a Round Robin to determine the top two schools in each pool. Glenwood's first match was played on Thursday morning against last year's winners, Stellenbosch High. The game was a tough one, made worse by the absence of Jeandré Hoogenboezem, last year's School Champion, due to a hockey injury.
Stefan Fortmann - SA's Young Tennis Ace
The older among us will remember a time when South African tennis held its own on the world stage. Amanda Coetzer, the gutsy Free Stater who competed with the best on the women's circuit; Wayne Ferreira breaking into the men's top ten and South Africa-born Kevin Curren reaching a Wimbledon final. The last ten years have seemingly spelt the end to South Africa's claim of being a tennis power on the world stage. Unable to cope with Russian professionalism, American brute force or European panache, the future of South African tennis looked look-warm to say the least.
Top Tennis School Serve Up The Aces
Kearsney College successfully hosted their 15th annual Schools invitational tennis tournament at the weekend in which eight of the top tennis playing schools in South Africa participated.

Welcome from the Director
As Director of the Educational Pipeline Program, I love the chance each year to meet and work with Sayre and West Philadelphia high school students, and Penn undergraduate and medical students. Every year we all get to learn from each other and have fun!
I feel that I would not be here today had someone not taken a special interest in me and I want to make sure that I give back. I want to make sure that mentors are available for minority students who are at any point along their educational and career path. I want students who come from challenging backgrounds to have someone to talk to who may have a similar perspective or experience.
My service to the Pipeline Program allows me to return the favor of help that I have received, and continue to receive, in my education and career. But even more, the Pipeline Program helps all of the students – high school, college, and professional students – have exposure to mentors that they can take with them for life.
I hope this website helps to answer any questions you have about the Pipeline Program. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com should you need any further assistance.

Dear Amy,
I am new to feminism and there
is a lot I need to learn. At my school
there never were any feminists that spoke
out, now that I do I am getting singled
out to explain and often defend these beliefs.
Since people found out that I am feminist
they make sexist comments to see how I
respond and start debates to discuss my
Recently more people in my year
group have agreed with my views and help
me in defending them when I need to. The
problem is that a teacher has asked me
to write a speech for the class on "The
importance of feminism" I know I should
try to use points on how feminism has changed
things in our lives and show how important
effects these have had, but I'm
not sure where to start. Could you please
send me some ideas and points? It would
be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
A Newcomer to Feminism, 16
It's great that you are leading the
way for feminism in your community.
on my own experiences, I think it's really
important to not just react to what people
are saying. I think that people will continually
try to egg you on or get a rise out of
you and it's important to hear them and
be responsible to your opinions without
just reacting. I have been more persuasive
when I can do so quietly or more one-on-one.
In terms of how feminism has changed
our lives, it's both big and small, noticeable
and mundane. For instance, women and
girls in sports; men helping with raising
kids; and just our attitudes about what
is possible and how much responsibility
we have to make that happen.
I hope that helps.
-- Amy
