Beets are delicious and nutritious from root to leaf! Rather than throwing away the beautiful beet stems from your bunches of beets, create a vibrant pickled beet stems side-dish.
Why Eat Beet Stems?
Filled with nutrients, such as betalain (what gives the beet its beautiful color that leaks onto counters, hands, and cutting boards), beet stems are a powerful source of antioxidants, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress (both linked to heart disease). Also high in fiber and minerals, beet stems are nutritious and versatile in recipes. Stems may be blended in smoothies (with a quality blender), juiced with fruits and veggies, sauteed with seasonings, or steamed in soups.
When eaten raw, the stems have a satisfyingly refreshing crunch like biting into a cold pickle or crisp celery stick. Although the stems may have a slight bitter flavor for some, the pickling ingredients enhance the stems' unique taste. This is one of the many beet recipes that I love preparing for my grandpa (who is reaching his 100th birthday this month). He is an avid beet eater, who enjoys beetroots and beet greens. Quick-pickled beet stems was a new dish for him to experience, and he loves it. A side of beet stems is the perfect addition to my grandpa's mashed potatoes and roasted chicken (his favorite)!
Quick-pickled stems work best when they are eaten within a few hours or day of pickling; otherwise, if soaked too long, the stems become tough and chewy.
Not sure what to do with beet greens or beets? Stop by "Eating the Beet from Root to Leaf" for ideas for eliminating waste and enjoying the amazing beet from its root to its gorgeous leaves. Plus- you can peruse an index of over 20 un"BEET"able recipes. Enjoy!
What are your faovrite ways to eat beets? I would love to hear from you!
INGREDIENTS (2-4 servings as a side dish)
- Stems from 1-2 large bunch of red and/or golden beets*
- 4 Tbsp red wine or apple-cider vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar or honey
- 1/2 tsp salt (add more to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper
- Leaves from 2 thyme or rosemary sprigs
*Stem colors will vary due to diverse beet varieties.
1. Cut stems on the bias into ¼-inch slices. Place stems in a small bowl.
2. Bring vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in sugar or honey, salt, pepper, and thyme; pour over stems.
3. Let stand at least 20 minutes. Yields ½ cup.
Recipe adapted from Chef Clayton Chapman

Cox : Hattery Family -- Whole Home Partay
A new kind of sitcom.
Editor's Pick
For all of you who can't sit through a 22 minute sitcom, Cox Communications has your back. Via DraftFCB, the brand has been running a series of spots called "Home With the Hatterys," which chronicle the adventures of a family with and without Cox services.
Filmed like a short, 60-second sitcom, the campaign began with an ad that showed Paul Hattery, the dad of the family, using the buffering time afforded by non-Cox services as the perfect opportunity to bond with his embarrassed teenage son.
In the two new spots, the adventures of the now Cox-equipped family continue. In "I Called Them," Mr. Hattery is overjoyed at how cheap Cox's phone service is, and can't wait to tell the world, while in "Whole Home Partay," he thinks every opportunity is the opportunity to have a "Partay!" And check out the older episodes on YouTube.

Founded in San Francisco in 2009, Betts Recruiting is a fast-growing agency that partners with the world's most innovative companies to build their sales, marketing and business development teams. With a specialisation in tech and digital media startups, Betts seeks out and personally vets candidates to provide companies with the talent they need to lead their markets.
With an initial team of three recruiters led by founder Carolyn Betts, the firm began with simple technology. Printing documents and filing them manually was the norm. However, as Betts grew, the firm needed a digital solution. In 2011, they implemented recruitment software, but it was designed for internal rather than external recruiters. It could not manage both the sales and recruitment sides of the business. There was no way to track leads and break down which recruiters deserved credit for which placements.
"We were struggling with the solution and needed much stronger support and customization than our software provider could offer," said Carolyn Betts, founder and CEO of Betts Recruiting. "We wanted to partner with a software provider that actually understood our challenges and needs."
Switch to Talent Rover
After a year of disappointment with their recruitment software, Betts began to search for a new solution that could accommodate their external recruitment workflow. Amber Banks, now Regional Director at Betts' New York office, connected with the team at Talent Rover.
"We wanted a way to organise and search for candidates and keep tabs on our network of past candidates," said Banks. "We also wanted a CRM system designed specifically for both sales and recruitment, not just one or the other."
Talent Rover provided exactly what Betts found lacking in their current recruitment solution — and ultimately offered much more than they ever expected. Betts signed with Talent Rover in December 2012 and was up-and-running in early January 2013.
"Implementation was beautiful," said Betts. "We left the office one Friday, came back Monday, and our database with thousands of resumes had been migrated to Talent Rover perfectly. Their team came to office, showed us how to use the system and scheduled follow up training. There was lots of hand holding, and that was exactly what we wanted."
International Expansion with Talent Rover
Over the course of 2013, Betts nearly doubled in size. The company opened a New York office in early 2013 and soon began to plot bigger expansion plans. Talent Rover had helped Betts dial in a fast and efficient workflow tailored to a firm that must manage both sales and recruitment. This not only led to gains in efficiency and productivity, but also generated better business intelligence and minimized administrative hurdles and busywork on the back end. With complete payroll and accounting integration, Betts' finance team also reaped the benefits of the new solution. The company had the technological foundation for growth anywhere in the world.
The full benefits of Talent Rover — and the power of having a true business partner, not just a software provider — became apparent when Betts made the decision to expand internationally. Responding to expressed need from current clients, Betts planned to open an office in Dublin, Ireland. As an established specialist in revenue-generating talent, Betts would also have an edge in serving Europe's booming tech market.
The discussion about launching a Dublin office began in January 2014 and the team set up shop just two months later on St. Patrick's Day.
Talent Rover was one of first calls we made when we decided on a European presence," said Emily Mattos, Director of European Sales. "Their response went well beyond the bounds of a traditional software vendor. They quickly customized the fields we needed to do business abroad, they advised us on how to proceed with expansion based on their experience and we were ready to roll quicker than we ever expected. Opening a new office anywhere is hard, and Talent Rover took huge piece of stress off our plate."
Talent Rover has adapted Betts' solution to accommodate information, passport types and languages they need to be compliant and competitive abroad. As a cloud-based solution, Talent Rover provides the same consistent performance anywhere in the world. The Dublin team has access to the same database, tools and processes that have proven to be of such value to Betts in both San Francisco and New York.
A True Partnership with Talent Rover
With future expansion almost certain, Betts will bring Talent Rover wherever clients go and wherever the tech scene presents opportunity.
"Talent Rover will be a huge asset in getting set up, understanding local needs, staying compliant and staying on top of the talent pool," said Betts. "They're a huge piece of our success."
"Customer service has been fantastic," added Mattos. "We can live chat through the database if issues come up, and we're always able to get someone on the phone same day. Any modification we request has been made in a day or two. It's just nice to always get a real person on the phone who understands our needs."
"We strive to be more of partner to businesses than just a traditional agency," said Betts. "We love working with Talent Rover because they share that approach. We looked for software and ended up with a partner who helped us expand to Europe."

Being present, carrels, equal and starting again.
A book review of Present over Perfect, by Shauna Niequist.
|Carrels are lonely.
|What is this, really? It's cancer.
Just silence.
Just me.
There's healing in blankness.
The surrender is where it's at.
A deadline needed an extension? We're still alive.
In my world, it was my outer bands, not my inner circle. I was kind of ignoring my sweet little circle that makes me the happiest. And it's easy to do this! Why? Because I know they'll still love me, even if I ignore them. But it's time to reverse my behavior; it's time to focus on the people who MATTER FIRST, and then... with my leftover time, work on those other relationships.
"I can't. I need to put this load of laundry in the washer, fold what's in the dryer and put away the dishes. I can play with you when I'm done."
It was a delightful and inspiring reminder.

A hit-and-run driver crashed a car into a KinderCare in Orlando on Wednesday afternoon, injuring at least 11 children and one adult. The daycare center offers childcare for children as young as 6 weeks old. There are no reports yet on the ages of the children harmed nor their severity, but Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sgt. Wanda Diaz said some of the injuries are "very, very serious."
Diaz said the accident was part of a hit-and-run that began when a vehicle believed to be a silver or gray Dodge Durango crashed into a car, which then subsequently was pushed into the daycare.
The driver is still at large, and troopers are asking anyone with information to call 407-737-2300. They believe the truck to be damaged and missing its front bumper.
The victims were taken to five local hospitals, and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs has asked people to pray for them. She said, "Keep them in your prayers ... together we will find whoever is responsible for this."
Another FHP official, Major Cynthia Williams, warned, "If the person out there is watching this, please turn yourself in because we will find you, and I promise you that."
Early reports indicated one fatality, but it's unconfirmed. Witnesses say that parents were gathered outside the building, going in and carrying children out one by one. Some were crying, some were being treated by emergency workers or talking to the police, and I'm willing to bet they were all pretty shaken.
How freaked out would you be if this happened at your child's daycare?

Reports by Captain Obvious masquerading as various Detroit media personalities indicate that Henrik Zetterberg will be the next captain and that Tomas Holmstrom will retire.
Z getting the C has been the assumption since Lidstrom retired months ago. Still, it's nice to get this semi-official (but unsourced) confirmation, even if it's a reminder of strangeness of two formerly embattled sides coming back together like nothing happened. Congrats, though, Hank. Lead on!
As for Holmstrom, it'll be a sad day for the organization when the official announcement is made. I'll always consider him to have been a major cog in the Big Red Machine and a key to its success over the years. He's been the point of the spear for so long, even if he'd gotten a little duller recently, so his absence will be felt. Formal goodbyes to come when the day comes, Tomas.
Fortunately, Mike Babcock and Co. have had a lot of time to prepare for this.
By the way, anyone notice anything mission from the media reports on these two stories? Nothing about anonymous sources in the organization…just reported as fact. A little different.

Taunting children?
Members of the protest group Code Pink taunt local school children with chants about the war in Afghanistan as the children and their families arrive for a Halloween reception by U.S. President Barack Obama and his family at the White House in Washington, October 31, 2009. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst
I must strongly protest your caption on the photo of protesters outside the White House. Using the verb "taunt" with "local school children" as its object is inaccurate, pejorative and unwarranted.
Who is paying you to run such captions?
Nobody is paying us to "run such captions." Our photographer says the protesters said things to challenge and confront the children and their parents. For example, one protester dressed as a Wicked Witch was saying things like, "More pretties to die in my war! More pretties!"
He said they were not just protesting the war in general but were, in effect, telling these families that their children were going to die at war. That sounds pretty much like taunting to me: GBU Editor
We welcome comments that advance the story through relevant opinion, anecdotes, links and data. If you see a comment that you believe is irrelevant or inappropriate, you can flag it to our editors by using the report abuse links. Views expressed in the comments do not represent those of Reuters. For more information on our comment policy, see http://blogs.reuters.com/fulldisclosure/2010/09/27/toward-a-more-thoughtful-conversation-on-stories/
I was actually at this event and the majority of the kids and their parents were amused by the little parade. The line was blocks long to get into the event and it was raining. That was the worst thing about that event. The parade of protesters was small and quite cartoonish. I heard nothing from any of them that was worse than any other Halloween type activity.
I wonder where the truth lies in all of this…one person states that innocent people are being heckled, another states it was not a big deal. I think part of the whole debate is perception..One has a hard time seeing this objectively when their "filter" thfouhg which they view the world is skewed on way of the other. Maybe the protesters said some inappropirate things, but in what they thought was a humorous way…and if you hear with angry ears, then everything sounds worse..Or if you are feelin happy and excited, those remarks are more easily brushed aside…I really with I could figure out what the "truth" is in some of these article I read…
Seems like taunting to me. I concur with the editor.
[…] days later, Reuters posted a blog entry responding to criticism of the caption by a Code Pink supporter: "Nobody is paying us to […]
I have to start out by saying my turing word was "broad" which I think is awesome. As in, "look at these dumb broads – why aren't they at home doing something useful, like taking their kids to soccer practice?" Probably because they don't have any – it's hard to imagine a mother saying things like this to children.
Not taunting? What exactly would you call it then? Code Pink is an absolute disgrace. Showing up to taunt a bunch of kids? What next going to funerals and mocking the families of the dead? Medea Benjamin is the Fred Phelps of the left.
Here's one instance where the Obama WH is doing something supportative of military families but Code Pink tries to ruin it. If Code Pink doesn't appreciate their perception in the media, they should choose more appropriate events to protest. Most of families probably thought it was a big joke because it looked like one.
"Medea Benjamin is the Fred Phelps of the left."
The problem with this statement is that Fred Phelps is a registered Democrat. He IS the left as well…
Where is the adoring media coverage of these "heroic" wretches protesting Obama? Oh, the media only adores them when they are protesting Bush.
Harassing children? Get a life…
[…] the Reuters reporter was appalled and used the word "taunting" in his photograph caption to describe […]
I can understand someone trying to get thier point across but using kids to get that point across is wrong i do not really care what he or she said. they should have shown more class than to use kids in thier political banter. And some people wonder what is wrong with america today!!!! mainly it is that so many "adults" act like adolescents so why should the the teens act like adults.
Grow up and leave the children out of it.

SOLIDWORKS has two different methods to help you recover from an unexpected crash or loss of data, find out about these in this blog.
A support call cropped up this week which I thought was worth sharing in a blog post. Quite simply a customer was reviewing their Assembly Bill of Materials (BOM) and finding an incorrect value for the Quantity column against a certain part. Clearly this column should simply sum up the number of identical components found in the assembly and report the value- so how can this go wrong?The answer here is that you can, on a part by part basis, set the quantity to report a different custom property.....
After my previous blog regarding setting drawing standards to adhere to document and layer preferences, another support call came in last week with respect to colour not displaying with drawing annotations. Basically despite a defined layer being applied to the dimension, a different colour was showing through. The reason behind this is that there is a hierarchy in a drawing sheet which can allow colours to be applied in one of three ways- below each of these are discussed.1- System OptionsUnder....
On our help desk we get asked numerous times about best practice for managing service packs and installations.

Many SOLIDWORKS users still maintain layers in 2D drawings and there are a number of settings to allow you to control which type of annotations can take on layer properties such as line colour and font styles. Much of this can be setup at a template level, but following a support call this week, there is one key thing to bare in mind if you want this to work successfully.So firstly you have to create your layers- this can only be done via the "Line Format" or "Layer" toolbars, so ensure you acti....
We are often asked if it is possible to run SOLIDWORKS on a Mac computer – the answer is YES you can! We know quite a few users running SOLIDWORKS successfully on a Mac however it isn't supported by SOLIDWORKS.

Washington: A new research has revealed that household air pollution, sourced by the use of plant-based or coal fuel for cooking, heating, and lightingaround, could cause 3 million people to suffer from health risks and early death worldwide.
A third of the world's population use plant-based solid fuels such as wood or charcoal, or coal, to cook, heat, and light their homes, primarily in Asia and Africa. These smoky, dirty fuels are often used in an open fire or simple stove, resulting in high levels of household air pollution in poorly ventilated homes.
Studies in India have found that in some areas, household air pollution was so high that it actually increases outdoor (ambient) air pollution, leading to pollution levels more than three times higher than a typical London street, and well above WHO-recommended safety levels.
The study led by Professor Stephen Gordon, from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK, and Professor William Martin, from The Ohio State University, USA, examined evidence for the effects of household air pollution on health. They concluded that an estimated 600-800 million families worldwide are at increased risk of illnesses such as respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, COPD, asthma, and lung cancer.
Estimates suggested that household air pollution killed 3.5 to 4 million people in 2010. Although overall rates of exposure to household air pollution have been declining slowly in recent years, population growth means that the number of people exposed has remained stagnant, at around 2.8 billion people worldwide.
Professor Gordon said that, although a number of clean cooking technologies, such as advanced cook stoves, LPG or solar power systems, exist, providing affected homes with cleaner ways to cook, heat, and light their homes with biomass fuel would not be the long term solution.
He further added that in communities where solid fuel cooking methods are currently the norm, cleaner fuel and cooking methods need to be at least as affordable, efficient, and long-lasting as the traditional style methods they replace and they also need to be fit for the different cultures and regions in which they're used.
The study is published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal.

Samia Ghadie worried about returning to work
- Bang Showbiz
- 18 February 2016
Samia Ghadie admits she is worried about leaving her son Yves with a childminder when she returns to work on 'Coronation Street'
Samia Ghadie is reduced to tears when she thinks about leaving her baby for work.
The 33-year-old actress is gearing up to return to 'Coronation Street' in two months' time but she has admitted she's worried about leaving her six-month-old son Yves, whom she has with her fiance Sylvain Longchambon, with a childminder when she rushes off to set to film her scenes.
She explained: "It will be hard, as I've not left him at all. But we've found a lovely lady who will do some child-minding. She'll work more round Sylvain's hours as mine can be erratic."
Sylvain added: "She got a little upset the other night just thinking about it."
However, the blonde beauty is looking forward to reprising her role as busybody Maria Connor on the long-running soap after she left last year to have little Yves and she has teased her comeback storyline, which will see her alter-ego return from Cyprus, is set to be explosive.
She explained to Britain's OK! magazine: "Maria will return with a secret that will shock her boyfriend Luke and all other residents on the street."
However, Samia - who also has daughter Freya, six, with her ex-husband Matt Smith - is concerned her acting may be a little rusty following her career break.
She said recently: "I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone at work, a part of me is a bit nervous though; I've not acted for six months. I'll have to get back into the swing of things quickly."

The picture of new Lenovo P770 smartphone similar with Lenovo K860
by Oct 30, 2012 5:56 pm4
Today we've ever release a new rumors about Lenovo P770 smartphone without a detailed picture, and now we have a picture of those phone.
Lenovo put more energy into the smartphone device. After following Lenovo K860, it's also a dual-core phone exposure. The phone, codenamed P770, which will be equipped with a 4.5-inch touch screen, a resolution of 960 × 540 pixels, equipped with a MT6577 chipset running on 1.2GHz dual core processor, built-in 1GB of RAM and a 8 megapixel camera.

The sources claimed that Lenovo will be released this phone at the end of November and its price is not more than 1299 yuan.

The Daily Mail ran a piece today about how advances in cancer treatment could help cancer-stricken celebrities like Patrick Swayze, and it got me thinking about the cancer-fighting innovations we've featured on TrendHunter.com.
Sure, there's the merchandise you can buy that goes towards cancer research, but that's for another cluster. These scientific discoveries are tangible breakthroughs like the Daily Mail's Patrick Swayze piece alluded to, from genetically-modified superfoods to light bandages.
Implications - What I particularly like about this series of innovations is that, collectively, they have the power to impact the quality of people's lives for the better. Leave your thoughts in the comment section below to join the conversation.

This I believe….I believe in happiness. I believe in elation and having absolutely no worries. I believe in living in the moment. Happiness is about drinking orange juice directly from the carton and stuffing clothes in the back of your closet instead of folding them. Happiness is singing at the top of your lungs and actually thinking that you're pretty good. It's discovering that your Government paper isn't actually due until the next Tuesday. It's having crazy friends that make you contort, quite embarrassingly I might add, in laughter. It's about eating all the tops of the muffins (the best part!) at that holiday party and not getting caught. I had to learn to appreciate all of these moments the hard way. I had severe mood swings and anything that happened could send me into a severe bout of depression. I was so cynical and critical of everyone and anything around me. Nothing was right and everyone had too many flaws, in my eyes. It reached a point in which I felt I had nothing to live for and that my future was grim. I attempted suicide and failed. After I failed, I wanted to succeed to spare myself the shame, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of failing again. Everyone asked me, "Why would you ever do that when you're smart and beautiful and you have everything going for you?" I hated that question. I think that I resented that image of perfection that I had created for myself. The people I love in my life pulled me out. I was selfish, but I learned. I learned that the only thing really left to do is be truly and utterly and undeniably happy. I learned to eat one too many cookies, be a little too crazy, laugh a little too loud, and love just a little too much.

Carly Kadlec is the Green Coffee Buyer at Equal Exchange, and one of the women that inspires me in our work toward trade justice. I've been fortunate to travel with Carly on visits to coffee farms in Honduras and Guatemala. Since March 8 is International Women's Day, I wanted to sit down with Carly and talk about her work with coffee producers ... but, she's on the road, as she often is, so we bring you this Q&A, across 2,500 miles.

Equal Exchange has worked in the tea industry for more than 20 years. Our tea program is still relatively small, but we have leveraged our limited volume to support and strengthen a number of small-scale farmer groups in India and Sri Lanka. Small farmer cooperatives are incredible rare in the tea industry which was built on colonial plantations from the ground up. When considering the larger industry context, it is remarkable that our small-scale tea co-op partners exist at all.

At Equal Exchange, we think about food every day. We think about the foods we sell, the farmers we purchase from, shipping logistics, the marketplace, and other day-to-day details. We are also deeply consumed in thinking about the broader food system: what is working, what is broken, how ownership and power are distributed, and how to develop alternative models. Ultimately, we are working to bridge the gap that exists between farmers and consumers.

For me, this Valentine's Day feels different. Yes, I've got chocolate on the mind—as Chocolate Products Manager, I think about it all the time—but there are two other things I keep coming back to. First is the current state of U.S. politics and the division that seems to be the defining character of our country at this time.
Equal ExchangeFebruary 7, 2017
Over the course of our first 30 years, Equal Exchange has set out to do essentially three things: Build supply chains that work for small-scale farmers and their democratic organizations. The manifestation of this work in the U.S. market is high quality products at prices that can compete with the corporate-controlled food system. But to arrive at that point, countless hours and dollars have been expended, and many failures have been experienced along the way.

The Women's March on Washington (and elsewhere) on Jan. 21 brought many of us to the streets, to stand in solidarity with those most vulnerable to systems of oppression and prejudice. Our daily work to build supply chains for small-scale farmers touches many of the issues that were marched for, from climate change to gender justice to indigenous people's rights. Here are some of the reasons we marched, in our own words.

It may seem like a distant memory at this point, but you may recall that Ecuador was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in April of 2016. The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the town of Muisne – a community that is part of our partner organization UOPROCAE, or the Union of Producers of Cacao of Arriba Esmeraldas. One of the cities that suffered the worst infrastructure damage was Portoviejo, close to our other cacao partner organization Fortaleza del Valle. We reached out immediately to both groups and were very relieved to learn that there were no fatalities among the members and staff of the UOPROCAE or Fortaleza del Valle. However, damage to personal property and the property belonging to the farmer organizations is significant and will be slow to fully rebuild.

Four years ago, the Equal Exchange banana team launched an avocado program knowing little about the avocado market and the realities of the industry in the U.S. We started our work in avocados because we met a small farmer co-op fighting for market access in an industry where farmer voices were absent. Equal Exchange has always had a non-traditional approach in the way that we craft our producer relationships and introduce new products. Not the typical, "there is a need in the market, let's fill it;" instead we build through relationships.

The world was shocked when Jesuit magazines across the globe simultaneously released an exclusive interview with Pope Francis, just six months into his historic papacy. Within minutes of its release, the interview dominated the worldwide media. In a wide-ranging conversation, Pope Francis spoke movingly about his spiritual life, his hopes for church reform, his open-minded stance toward gays and lesbians, his views on women, and even his favorite movies.America magazine, where the idea for the interview originated, commissioned a team of five Italian-language experts to ensure that the pope's words were transmitted accurately into English. Now this remarkable, historic, and moving interview is available in book form.In addition to the full papal interview conducted by Antonio Spadaro, SJ, on behalf of the Jesuit journals, A Big Heart Open to God includes an introduction by the editor in chief of America, Matt Malone, SJ, describing the...

I think it's safe to say that I have not yet had enough coffee to keep me awake this morning. Because of that, this tip may turn out to be more normal than anything else I've ever written. Does that mean you guys are lucky today or unlucky? I don't know. But I do know that I'm going to write about how to share reminders easily using iCal's built-in commands. And if I go off the rails halfway through, you'll know more coffee has been acquired.
First, open iCal and check to see if your reminders drawer is showing on the right side of the window. If it's not, hit Option-Command-T to open it (or choose View > Show Reminders). When you do, you'll see a list of all the things you should be taking care of but aren't because you're reading this tip.
If you want to send any of your reminders to someone else, you have a couple of ways you can go about it. As I mentioned in a previous tip, it's pretty easy to just drag and drop an event (or a reminder in this case) onto Mail's icon in your Dock to create a new message with the item's information.
Drop your reminder on Mail…
…to create a text version of it in a new message.
However, iCal has a built-in method for sharing reminders that'll even write your recipient a little note to go along with the included information. To use this feature, just right- or Control-click on the reminder you want to share and choose Mail Reminder.
After that, iCal will create a message for you, all nicely formatted with text to the recipient telling him to kindly get off his butt and do stuff. Also included will be an .ics file with a link that he can just click on to automatically add the data to his own reminders list.
It really couldn't be simpler. And for those of us with fuzzy-brain-no-coffee syndrome, that's necessary.

(LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND) – The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced yesterday that Buenos Aires (ARG), Glasgow (GBR), and Medellín (COL) have been shortlisted in the bid to host the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2018. The three cities were chosen from among five Candidate Cities vying to host the YOG. Guadalajara (MEX) and Rotterdam (NED) did not make the final shortlist.
The IOC Executive Board determined the composition of the shortlist at a meeting in Lausanne after it had reviewed a report by the IOC Working Group, chaired by Claudia Bokel. The Working Group report was based on the Candidature Files and relevant documentation submitted by the five Candidate Cities.
The IOC takes this opportunity to thank all the Candidate Cities for their hard work, dedication and support of the Olympic Movement.
An Evaluation Commission will now conduct further assessments of and hold video conferences with representatives from the three shortlisted Candidate Cities before submitting a report to the IOC members, who are scheduled to elect the host city at an Extraordinary Session in Lausanne on 4 July 2013.
The following timetable has been established for this phase:
- Report by the IOC Evaluation Commission: June 2013
- Election of the host city of the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2018: 4 July 2013
The bid to host the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2018 follows successful summer and winter editions of the Games (Singapore 2010 and Innsbruck 2012) and demonstrates the growing interest from cities around the world in staging the event. The 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held in Nanjing in 2014, followed by the second winter edition in Lillehammer in 2016.

I have been to several flea markets and antique stores and have seen many different door knobs for sale. The beauty of the old glass knobs has me tempted to switch out all of our knobs at home but this wouldn't be real practical and I have never seen a whole set of matching knobs anyway.
So….this leads me to thinking about other ways to incorporate the beautiful knobs into my home. I know they would make great hanging knobs when attached to a board but I also found some other interesting door knob crafts that would be fun to try.
After seeing some of these ideas, you may want to start collecting vintage door knobs yourself! You can see all of the tutorials by clicking on the images. Here is the list of some of my favorites:
I love the contrast of the pretty knobs against the weathered wood in this fun jewelry holder. The decorative knobs make the perfect hangers for the glitzy necklaces.
If you happen to have wine left in your bottle and need a stopper, then a door knob serves a great second purpose for the job! Just attach the knobs to a cork, add a little embellishment if you want, and you are all set.
These wall hooks make quite a statement with the added decor of the door knob end.
Here is a door knob craft that is perfect for Halloween! This little pumpkin patch will add some festive decor to your holiday and the rest of the Fall season.
Another wall hook idea with shiny glass knobs and a decorative wood back.
Old door knobs with a little hole work perfectly as tiny vases for those small flower arrangements that just don't fit in the average sized vase.
Happy Crafting!

We have operated for years with the goal of expanding our Voice Broadcasting network to be Carrier Grade.
(PRWEB) July 17, 2012
Voice Broadcasting companies can be found all over the internet. Many of them are resellers for an established service provider while others are operating with their own source code. For all the companies that operate with their own source code, how many of them have expanded their network to be carrier centric?
It is a major challenge that is not typically focused upon by a company offering Voice Broadcasting Services. Dialtel feels they are in a good position to meet this challenge.
CEO, Erik Scanlan said in a statement, "We have operated for years with the goal of expanding our Voice Broadcasting network to be Carrier Grade. We have been using our own home grown billing system with great success and now its time to expand this further to the advantage of our customers."
The biggest challenge for Dialtel is the implementation of a new distributed database schema to handle the intense traffic profile that will be faced. Every call that is placed needs to dip into both an LRN/LNP database as well as a LERG to determine proper jurisdiction of the call. After those two dips are performed the LCR Look-up and Carrier Order for that single call is generated.
Remember Voice Broadcasting itself presents a challenge because of the high volume of short duration calls. It is much easier to ignore the challenge of LCR and plug into one major carrier that has all this technology. Dialtel feels however this it is in the best interest of its customers to have all this technology in-house.
New products will be available to customers in the days after the new platform is released. Customers will be able to choose from limited flat rate decks, full flat rate decks, limited variable decks, and full variable decks. Dialtel will assist customers in choosing the appropriate dialing plan based on the traffic profile they present. This will equate to bigger savings for the customer as well as increased termination from the full range of carriers that Dialtel will host in its LCR.

The Issue: Clint Eastwood's speech at the Republican National Convention criticizing President Obama.
Clint Eastwood made my day with his "Invisible Obama" speech at the Republican National Convention ("'Dirty' Dishes It," Aug. 31).
Four years ago, President Obama campaigned on the audacity of hope.
Now that his mask is off, Americans can no longer sit on the sidelines and allow themselves to be ruled by a president drunk with power.
They must engage Obama's challenge and take up the good fight to ensure that he is not given another term in which to destroy the very soul of America.
It's nice to see that there are still some "beautiful people" left in Hollywood who have not been totally taken in by Obama and his agenda.
Hopefully, more stars will follow and become a "Magnum Force" for Mitt Romney to take the White House in November.Paul Kokoski
Hamilton, Canada
I have watched every Republican and Democratic convention on TV since 1960. Eastwood's unscripted stand-up routine Thursday night in Tampa was downright bizarre.
All I can say is, wait until Charlotte. Obama is no empty seat.
Denny Freidenrich
Laguna Beach, Calif.
Like something straight from "Dirty Harry," Obama must be asking himself how many times Eastwood insulted him: "Was it five or was it six?"
Is Obama still "feeling lucky?" It doesn't matter, because Obama's time is up in November, no matter how he feels. America has had enough.
William L. Gensert
The Bronx
Eastwood was so refreshing.
Democrats and some Republicans are so twisted out of shape that they missed the humor and the Reaganesque simplicity and succinctness of all the fine points he made about Obama's failed presidency and his own shortcomings.
All they want to do is belittle the delivery. I think it added a little genuineness to a solid speech.
Richard Balconis
The empty chair next to Eastwood was quite appropriate, but the left-leaning, Obama-loving media don't get it.
It might just be above their intellectual capacity.Polly Mikelis
Old Tappan, NJ
The only reason Eastwood used an empty chair is because he couldn't get an empty suit to stand on the stage. It's too bad Obama was out of town — that would have been much more appropriate.
Louie Rey
East Meadow
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, musician Kanye West declared that President George W. Bush didn't care about black people. And then "Bush Derangement Syndrome" hit an all-time high when a movie was made depicting the assassination of the president.
What was worse was the deafening silence by our celebrities when these horrific, over-the-top actions were taken against a sitting president.
Four years later, Eastwood, a Hollywood icon, makes a few innocent jokes about Obama and the lefty, loony, hypocritical liberals claim Eastwood's remarks went too far.
I guess BDS is not curable.Matthew Nugent
Staten Island
The decision to have Eastwood speak for 13 or so minutes was definitely a stroke of bad luck.
His speech was sometimes mean-spirited or just plain weird and it took attention away from Romney's important political message.
K. Zimmerman
Huntington Beach, Calif.
What a great array of speakers at the RNC. How in the world will the Democrats trump it?
Who is going to announce Obama? Sandra Fluke? Rev. Jeremiah Wright?
They could tell of all his accomplishments the last four years, except that gas prices are still high, millions are on food stamps and out of work, debt is out of control and the real-estate market hasn't recovered.
Eastwood nailed it: If you can't do the job, you must be let go.
John Van Acken

The public have been invited to choose which popular heroes and heroines of Northern Irish public life should appear on a double-decker Metro bus in Belfast.
The Translink scheme will see the faces of nominated figures appear on a "bus of legends" – although the public transport body has stated nominees must be "non-political".
Nominations are open until Sunday April 17. A shortlist will then be announced on Thursday April 21.
Translink Group chief executive Chris Conway said it will be unveiled during "Bus and Train Week", from June 6 to June 12.
He said: "Perhaps it's a sporting hero, an acclaimed actor or a rock star – we're encouraging everyone who's proud of Belfast to make their nominations – if they're a great ambassador for the city, we want to know!"
Following the nomination period, an independent judging panel will create a shortlist.
Then the public will be asked to vote online to decide the final two 'Metro Legends' who will receive the official recognition.
Judging panel chair, Anne McMullan, director of marketing and communications at Visit Belfast, said: "This is a great opportunity to celebrate the best of Belfast – a mobile tribute to home-grown talent that will be seen by both local people and visitors."
The criteria is that nominees must have "made a positive impact in their field of expertise", have been born in Belfast or have a strong association with the city region, must be alive, and must be non-political.

Although stocks ended higher on Tuesday, Cramer recommended investors still have some protection against the downside. Home gamers should look for dividend-paying stocks with a high-yield, like real estate investment trusts.
"It's important to remember that not all REITs are created equal," Cramer noted. "Different REITs own different kinds of properties."
Brandywine Properties , for example, owns predominantly suburban office space. Being as the deamand for offices hasn't been as strong as other kinds of commercial real estate, Cramer said Brandywine sells at a discount to other REITs. Brandywine ended 2010 with an 85.6 percent occupancy rate. To obtain pricing power, Cramer said Brandywine will need to raise the occupancy rate to 90 percent.
The Radnor, Pa.-based company gets 75 percent of its rent from Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., but also operates in California, Delaware, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia. In many of these markets, Cramer said Brandywine is taking share.
When Brandywine released earnings last month, it reported a better-than-expected quarter and raised 2011 guidance. With the office market improving, Cramer likes where Brandywine is going and thinks it's a good time to buy shares. He doesn't think the market appreciates the progress Brandywine has made, or how an economic expansion could fill vacant office space at high prices. To get a better sense of this story moving forward, he spoke with Brandywine CEO Jerry Sweeney. Check out the video to see the full interview.

This preamp/direct box is so strong and powerful it could only be called the "Tone Hammer"! Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer® features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set for the studio or the stage. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS).

You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven. 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer® plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate Gain and Master controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument. The Tone Hammer® is the essential preamp/direct box for every bassist's tool box.

U.S. Americans and Banking and Federal Reserve (Tunis)
I want to open a bank account in Tunisia. I want an automatic deposit into my account. My agency that deposits the check told me if my bank has the 9 digit routing number AND the Federal Reserve recognizes the bank it would work.
Do any of you know what it means to be recognized by the Federal Reserve? That is, are any banks here recognized?
Do any of you U.S. Americans have an automatic deposit made to a bank here?

Prior to launching the company, former McCann agency producers Knowles and Ryant had been coming off a bad spell on the production side. Both had worked at Propaganda/Satellite and then as executive producers at Reactor Films, and they'd become jaded witnessing jobs disintegrate creatively just to "feed the machine," or being saddled with lofty, profit-driven standards. The two were fired from Reactor, but they decided to remain partners, and soon after they had the good fortune to be reunited with O'Grady, a Florida production vet Ryant had befriended during his agency days, and whom he admired for his ability to transform every penny, even on a low-budget shoot, into gold on the screen. "We told ourselves, if we have to get out of bed in the morning and do really terrible commercials, this will never be worth it," Ryant recalls. "So we set the standard that we were only going to do great work. That was it. If we succeeded, then that was great. If we didn't, we'd at least given it our best shot at doing it our best way."
The three founded Bob Industries in Venice, Calif., in November 1998, with several directors who followed them from Reactor. Since then, the shop has steadily gained a position among the industry's creative elite, thanks to a mix of luck, hard work, and, of course, directorial talent. The unboxable Dayton and Faris continue to deftly transcend genres, as in effects-intensive clips for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the visually and emotionally stunning "Milky Way" VW spot, and the clutter-busting bottle-puppet campaign for Snapple. The shop also boasts the talents of Peter Care, one of the funnymen behind the Sprint PCS laugh-a-thon; MTV-vet Lisa Rubisch; Kim Geldenhuys; Mark Kohr; Jason Smith; and Spencer Susser. Last year, Bob also signed Chris Hooper, the former Goodby creative and Tool director, who helmed this year's crowd fave at the Super Bowl, Budweiser's "Satin Sheets."
The homey beachside residence of Bob headquarters, as well as the New York branch's apartment digs befit the close-knit way things are run. "Anybody who is going to be at Bob has to know it's a family," O'Grady asserts. "We wouldn't want to bring a director in just to be a day player." Ryant adds, "If you come here, usually it's more work. You have to involve yourself more, care more and participate. It's a different kind of psychology than what other companies offer. Others will say, 'Come in, your world will be solved! I'll give you a $100,000 development fund. You'll have three assistants.' For us, it's quite the contrary. We are always very responsible about saying, 'Come here, here's what we can achieve together.'"
At the crux of Bob's ongoing struggle is keeping the creative doors open for all its directors. "We're doing our job properly when you look at any of our directors' reels and they have as much of an executional breadth as possible, but at the end you still feel there's a signature behind the work of, say, Lisa Rubisch or Peter Care," Ryant explains. He remembers in the early stages, struggling to break through agencies' befuddlement even with the reel of husband/wife team Dayton and Faris, "I would show this very eclectic reel and the agencies would say 'God, they're all over the place! What the hell do these people do?' " Ryant recalls. "Exactly!" pipes in the voluble Knowles. "We're not a company of off-sell. There's nothing more exciting than when a director not necessarily considered for a job ends up blowing agencies away."
So far, the strategy has worked. "Every year we've been able to do better than the previous year, financially and creatively, and we've never had to ask one of our directors to do a job they didn't want to do," Knowles boasts. Moreover, sticking to their creative guns is the only way to make things worthwhile considering the industry's capricious tides. "Margins will continue through the volatility of the business," Ryant explains. "There's no indication that everything's going to stabilize. People will work harder for every buck they earn. In years past, some production companies had the capabilities to be wildly profitable. Now it's much more of a labor of love, a life-long career that you have to work every minute for."

i feel if this game should be redone, that this music should be used.
i feel if this game should be redone, that this music should be used.
nice and relaxing
Very well made!
Loved this game!
A wonderful reorchestration
I love how you pan the...what do you call that again...pizzicato? This has always been one of my favorite loops in video games. Honestly, I sorta felt like it was missing something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I still can't. I was going to give it five stars, but just before I clicked the button, the song ended, and I heard it loop. It looped so utterly perfectly, I gave it another star. After all, I can't figure out what it is I don't like, so I don't very well have much right to take off for it now do I? If I were to take a guess, I'd say it's the rhythm. In my favorite versions of this loop that I've heard, it had a little bit of syncopation, and I loved the feeling it added to it. Hearing it now playing so smoothly, I miss that feeling. I honestly don't know enough about music to describe this properly to you. The only way I could think to describe exactly what I'm thinking would require hand gestures and an attempt to hum it. Sorry I can't really figure out how to tell you what I mean. :( Really good piece though!
Isn't this song on VGmusic?
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

What happens when the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing?
Unfortunately, this phrase often accurately describes the data and IT situation at many large corporations. With data coming in from so many disparate sources or being handled by different departments, internal groups don't know what data is actually available to them. Even if they do know where all their data comes from, they may not have the capability to incorporate the data in a meaningful way that provides true business insight.
Alternately, even if they do know where their data is, internal pricing groups often face the problem of being a small fish in a big pond. While pricing and Revenue Management can have a major impact on the bottom line, the small personnel size of these groups causes their internal IT requests to be pushed down the list of priorities or constrained by larger enterprise initiatives.
How bad can it get? Some retail pricing groups do not have direct access to data that drives the prices on their own website. Instead, a third party vendor is leveraged to scrape the retailer's own website and provide current pricing back to them – and at a cost.
This type of issue is not uncommon and often stems from how companies initially built their data architecture. Understandably, companies are focused on what is needed for their core business. Pricing and Revenue Management analytics are typically an afterthought when building a corporate data strategy, and are either not initially included or are not in focus until much later in the design.
So, what can companies do to combat this, yet remain competitive at the same time? In the past few years, there has been an increasing focus on the "Cloud" and "As a Service" providers. Storage, computing and networking advances have made it possible to offload infrastructure overhead and to shift data and processing resources to on-demand services.
A Revenue Data Cloud (RDC) takes full advantage of this shift. The RDC allows automated consolidation of information sources such as pricing, inventory, product, customer, and web traffic data. The RDC also provides ongoing data curation and Master Data Management for long-term stability and data accuracy, providing Pricing and Revenue Management teams with a single version of the truth. Best of all, using an RDC minimizes internal corporate IT costs, allowing pricing groups to maximize budgets and deliver insight on the questions they truly need answered.
By creating a Revenue Data Cloud, companies can consolidate and standardize their fractious data sources, glean business insights from historical data, and manage data sources that were previously impossible to fully maintain. The RDC empowers Pricing and Revenue Management groups, giving them a powerful tool to produce long term benefits.

Can You Identify the One Peculiar Thing All These Rooms Have in Common?
All these rooms have one, slightly unusual, thing in common. Can you figure out what it is?
What unites this all-white living room from Sight Unseen...
This moody black space from Desire to Inspire...
This lovely pink room by 2 Lovely Gays...
This living room in a Barcelona home from Dwell...
And this simple black and white space from Bo-Laget, via My Scandinavian Home?
Did you guess it? The one thing that all these rooms have in common isn't something they have: it's something they don't have. Every single one of them has no art on the walls at all. While we've always advocated art as something that brings liveliness and personality to a room, it's possible to pull off a space without any art at all. And, as the examples above show, it can actually be a really nice look, provided you have the chops to pull it off. Here are a few pointers.
Add plants and books
This room from Sight Unseen has no art on the walls, but still, it's anything but boring, thanks to a rather large houseplant and a rather prominent bookshelf. An absence of art means there's room to add plenty of other interesting elements without overwhelming the space.
Focus on the furniture
In this dark space from Desire to Inspire, interesting furniture selections take center stage. The black walls complement the dark leather sofas, and the lack of art (with the exception of that one leaning piece) helps to emphasize the room's horizontal element, and the long, low lines of the furniture.
Paint the walls an interesting color
No art on the walls means this space by 2 Lovely Gays is all about the soft pink, beautifully detailed walls—and that gorgeous floor.
Let your space's natural beauty shine
In this Barcelona apartment from Dwell, blank walls balance a room whose bottom third is full of interesting elements—and draw the eye up toward a stunning ornate ceiling.
Add texture and contrast
The play of the black and white furniture and the texture of the leather pouf and rug add plenty of interest to this space from Bo-Laget (via My Scandinavian Home), even with blank walls.
Use a rug to tie the room together
This room from My Scandinavian Home gets an honorable mention, for eschewing art save for the piece leaning against the wall on the floor in the far corner. The effect is similar to the spaces above, with a great expanse of free wall above lending a spacious, lofty look. Closer to the ground, elements like the patterned rug and plants ensure that there's still plenty to look at.

Grovemade was born from friendship and the spirit to create in 2009 by Joe Mansfield and Ken Tomita. As friends and neighbors, they had no other vision than to "make cool stuff and have fun doing it". They never could have expected it turning into what it is today, with global reach and a crew of 20 fun-loving, hard-working trail blazers.
Over the last six years, we've been on a winding path to find our way. With no outside investors, our bootstrapped venture has had the freedom to become anything we want it to be. As self-started entrepreneurs with backgrounds in digital art and furniture making respectively, Joe and Ken founded the company in the spirit of DIY, and as our team has grown over the years, we've never lost that spirit. Rather than obsessing with growth, we pursue the greatest product possible. For us, that means taking control of the whole process, staying small, and revolutionizing how manufacturing can be done.
All Hands On Deck
Rather than the traditional separations between design, manufacturing, and administration, we blend all departments together. Our marketing, photography, writing, and customer service are all done mere feet away from our woodshop. We encourage dynamic roles where jobs intersect, collaborate, and evolve every day. The crappy manufacturing job doesn't exist here; we all take part in making, and we all contribute in other ways, too.
There are traditionally two ends of the spectrum: Mass produced items are made in sprawling factories by anonymous workers creating efficiency through scale; Crafted products are produced in tiny quantities by skilled individuals with a small audience and limited technical capabilities. We've carved out a place for ourselves somewhere in the middle, shipping the highest quality, handmade products worldwide, directly from our hands to yours.
Visit Our Shop
Occupying a former auto repair shop, our workspace spans nearly 5000 square feet and houses our workshop and operations center, as well as our product showroom. We're proud of the things we make and the processes required to manufacture them. If you're interested in taking a look behind the scenes or making an in-person purchase, send us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to make an appointment. We look forward to seeing you!
The world has changed dramatically in the last ten years. A company like ours can stay small and special, yet have a global reach, and, hopefully, an impact beyond our size. Physical goods can only do so much to make the world a better place. We like to think that our greatest contribution is through sharing our way, whether it's through collaboration, our products, or our story.
We hope you find what matters, too.

I took this photo of Madison a week or so ago. I love it so much. I was talking to her about Santa and her Elf, "Elfie." Tyler was still sleeping and I took the opportunity to get her picture.
Madison and Tyler's preschool held their Christmas program this past Thursday. It's very short and very very sweet. Before school I attempted to get their picture together in their little Christmas outfits.
It started off something like this...
with a lot of this mixed in...
and only after a sucker WITH a sucker did I get this...
and finally this... (I promised Madison chocolate)
So I wiped the sweat from my brow and loaded the kids along with the sucker and chocolate into the car to head to school. (I said a little prayer it would stay off their clothes. Tyler's sucker color is no mistake.. I dug out the lightest color I could find.)
The Christmas program began with the toddlers and twos. I don't have a zoom lens and so this was the best I could get with my 50 mm. I zoomed in photoshop and cropped for the rest of the photos.. that's why they look so grainy and blurred.
Tyler LOVES his teachers and I love this moment I caught... (they are singing about baby Jesus.)
I stood up for this picture and he spotted me!! I quickly sunk back into the pew and prayed he'd stay put!
Sweet boy reached around and gave his teacher a big hug. She later told me that she faced him forward because she knew I was out there taking photos and figured I'd like them of his face and not the back of his head!
Tyler's class sang three songs and then were quickly ushered back to their rooms to start the day. So then the threes came out.... Can you spot Madison?!! :)
I love that girl!
After the threes finished up their three songs they were seated to watch the fours perform. Madison was too excited that her dad and I were there!
Ohhhh my camera was set so wrong for this shot, but the only one I took of the threes and fours doing one final song together.
