The grocery stores are filled with all types of convenience foods meant to save you time but they certainly don't save you money! My gosh, I was thumbing through the grocery store flyers and noticed a ready made, uncooked 1 kg tray of home style meatloaf for $7.99. Have we really become so pressed for time that the 5 minutes it takes to combine the ingredients for meatloaf can't be spared? Honestly, that same week extra lean ground beef was on for $3.28 per kg. The extra ingredients added to meat loaf certainly would not come to $4.71 and it is very doubtful the pre-made uncooked meatloaf would have been made with extra lean ground beef. So the price of convenience essentially cost $4.71 for someone to mix up meatloaf to be taken home and cooked. For close to the same price you could by 2 kg of lean ground beef, make two meatloafs (one for that night, one for the freezer) and still saved money plus you would have a ready meal in the freezer. I find it unbelievable that some folks will pay this price for convenience and yet if the grocery stores are any indication, they do! This week's Frugal Kitchens 101 discusses the price of convenience.
There are really two types of convenience foods. The first category is the frugal take-out, pre-made from the deli or freezer section and the other really isn't frugal at all. Shopping smart and stretching your food dollar means not paying for someone to do what you can do yourself. Here are a few types of convenience foods that really are not frugal:
- pre-made fresh foods - These include: vegetable trays, salads, meat mixtures (eg. meatloaf), fruit and dip trays, and that type of thing. These really are not a frugal choice but in all cases you will pay a higher price for them than if you made them yourself. You really are paying for someone to do the work for you. In addition to paying extra you are exposing yourself to a higher risk for contamination that can cause food borne illness.
- pre-made cooked foods - In some cases deli foods like rotisserie chicken is less expensive than buying a whole chicken and cooking it yourself. This does not happen very often and in fact the deli rotisserie chicken has been one exception to the rule that homemade is cheaper.
- pre-made freezer doughs and pastry crusts - In most cases homemade is cheaper. The two exceptions are phyllo dough and puff pastry. However, a homemade short version of puff pastry is less expensive to make than store bought and just as good. You can easily make a large batch of bread, pastry or cookie dough then freeze it for later use at a fraction of the cost of store bought.
- artisan breads - A loaf of bakery artisan bread can go as high as $6 per loaf. These types of breads with a little practice can easily be made at home for under a $1 per loaf.

The NLRB continues to assault address employers' social media policies with a recent ruling that appears to protect defamation. Huh? The employer's policy prohibited online postings . . . "that damage the Company, defame any individual or damage any person's reputation, or violate the policies outlined in the Costco Employee Agreement." I baked a fresh batch of Lawffice Links to mark the occasion (warning: employer-side bloggers are not happy):
I have yet to see a strong defense of this decision, but I'm a man of the people . . . got a link to someone who supports the ruling? Drop a comment.
Read additional employment law articles on Phillip Miles' blog, Lawffice Space.

Seinfeld Slaps Down Gawker Trouble Maker [Video]
Jerry Seinfeld backs down weasel interviewer from Gawker trying to use the race card.
Seinfeld's new web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" is a hit. I guess he should expect haters. It's a show about Jerry picking up a guest in one of his fancy cars and going to get coffee.
Not only did the writer embarrass himself but he blamed the question on people who tweeted him when they found out he would be sitting down w/ Jerry-
Jerkface Kyle Chayka starts out by saying: "I have noticed that most of your guests are white males."
I'd say Jerry handled himself just fine-

In Booming China, A Doctor Battles A Polluting Factory
Fouled Waters Lead to Flood Of Protests Nationwide; Officials' Mixed Messages
XIPING, China -- For the past five years, village doctor Zhang Changjian has rallied farmers here against a chemical factory dumping pollutants into a river.
This spring, they won a rare victory. A court found the pollution exceeded acceptable levels and ordered the Rongping Joint Chemical Plant to pay damages of about $85,000. But the farmers have yet to see any of the settlement. Mr. Zhang has been the target of police harassment, and the county government has closed down his clinic....

Another layer of the putrid, rotten onion that is the Penn State sex abuse scandal has been revealed: "Victim One," the first alleged victim of former coach Jerry Sandusky, was recently forced to leave his high school during his senior year because he couldn't endure any more bullying. The 17-year-old's psychologist says other students at Central Mountain High School in Pennsylvania were threatening the boy and calling him names. Unbelievably, they're incensed about the firing of former head coach Joe Paterno, and unfazed by by claims that a classmate was horribly abused.
The other victims are reportedly turning to each other for support because they're afraid that if they confide in other people their names will wind up in the media. The psychologist says Victim One is encouraged that other boys decided to stop keeping the abuse a secret after he came forward. "He feels good about that," he said. "That's the one good that's come of all this."

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces of Egypt mentioned Tuesday that work will soon begin on a new national constitution. Efforts continue to encourage protestors back to work. They are now arguing for labor rights and higher pay. After protests were put down by force in Iran, Iranian MPs call for the death penalty for opposition group leaders Mehdi Karroubi and Mirhossein Mousavi. This time, the US is strongly and quickly standing behind the protestors. On the other hand, the US reaction is not likely to be as eager in Yemen, where protests have continued into their fifth day. Protestors are not terribly happy about the US-back President, nor are they very happy about the American drone strikes against Yemeni nationals as part of the "War on Terror". All of the strike activity continues to bring up the question "Where next?" While all eyes are on Pakistan, whose push for nuclear arms gives it one of the larger nuclear arsenals in the world, fears are rising that some nuclear weapons may be lost in this very unstable country. Oh, and one source of angst against the government in Pakistan is its cooperation with the US drone attacks that have led to a large number of civilian deaths. But Democracy is winning the day as protests continue in Baharain, despite the King's gifting every family in the country with $3,000 to soothe the nerves. Sadly, America finds itself in the ironic situation where it is not the self-avowed bastion of democracy it once claimed itself to be. Perhaps this is a problem with marketing.
Few Americans know very much about the drone strikes in different countries, but it turns out they may not care. Many Americans, including a majority of Republican primary voters are preoccupied with whether Barack Obama is an American citizen. (He is.) Despite the falsity of the claim, House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor do not believe it is their job to correct their constituents. This comes even as Republicans plan to attack the 14th Amendment which argues that anyone born on American soil is a US citizen. This seemingly innocuous guarantee prompted an outcry from Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Tx) last summer. On the other hand, they are not very helpful on the economy either. After the Republicans campaigned on jobs, jobs, jobs, John Boehner says that if the proposed draconian cuts to the federal budget cost jobs, "so be it." The loss of more jobs, would of course limit future federal revenue, creating more budgetary problems in the future.
Despite several costly provisions, the House succeeded on its third attempt in one week to extend several provisions of the PATRIOT Act. 27 Republicans voted against it and 65 Democrats voted for the extension which includes "roving wiretap" court orders and allows authorities to seize "any tangible things" in a search. See how your Representative voted here.
In other portions of the US Government, Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Thomas are taking heat for failing to recuse themselves from apparent conflicts of interest revolving around their involvement with the Koch Brothers prior to the Citizens United ruling last year, in which the two justices argued slavishly in favor of corporate interests such as those of the ultra-libertarian Koch brothers. Clarence Thomas' wife is also head of a Tea Party group. While many Tea Party groups are financed in part by the billionaire Koch brothers, Clarence Thomas has failed to report income from his wife's political activities for more than a decade now, prompting the Supreme Court Justice to uncomfortably claim that he did not understand the corresponding tax law when the news became public. Oops.
The US government is asking Twitter to divulge information pertaining to the whereabouts and names of people associated with WikiLeaks in a move that bodes poorly for internet privacy rights. This and other issues related to first amendment rights may be reasons that Julian Assange has brought civil liberties advocate Alan Dershowitz onto his legal defense team.
The New York Stock Exchange is being purchased by the German Börse, all while Republicans across the nation continue to argue against Socialism. Not to worry, the two leading shareholders in the Börse run an American hedge fund. The NYSE is struggling to maintain profitability by leaving retail investments for derivatives trading.

Welcome! For those of you just tuning in: Last week I attended Klaviyo: BOS, a two-day summit focused on growth tactics and business strategy for online merchants and ecommerce brands. Session topics ranged from Facebook Messenger bots and segmentation to email design and marketing automation. I took a ton of very squiggly, sometimes illegible notes and thought it would be a shame to keep them on paper, so I sat down and started writing a blog post titled "Expert SEO and CRO Tips From Klaviyo's Ecommerce Summit." I was at about 2,000 words when I had to take a break, so here…

Video: Woman Walk Her Dog While Driving Car
Stockton, CA - A woman in Stockton, California capture a woman on camera while she was walking her dog by driving her car which really stress out the dog since it needs to run faster just to keep up.
Amanda Brajkovich capture the incident on video, as she confronted the dog owner. "She's driving her dog down the road." "Disgusting!" She said on the video.
In the video a dog runs alongside its owner's car, tied with rope.
"If you're going to be a dog owner, a responsible dog owner, then you need to get out and walk your dog, you know?" Brajkovich demanded. "Don't be lazy."
She confronted the woman pulling the dog along the car, but the dog owner defended her actions. "He wasn't being dragged," she insisted. "I was watching his leash, there was no tension."
The Stockton Police Department looked at the video but say this is not animal cruelty. However, they added that the driver would have been cited for distracted driving.

A Pop Star in Indonesia Dies After Cobra Bite
Irma Bule, 29 a pop star in Indonesia who is known for wearing snakes during her performance thought the king cobra had been defanged. Unfortunately, it was not and it bit her while she was performing on stage. Despite being fatally bitten she went on singing for 45 minutes before she collapsed in front of a shocked audience.
Bule was performing in the village in Karawang, West Java, in Indonesia. She accidentally stepped on the cobra's tail. The cobra named Rianti, lashed out, sinking its fangs into her thigh.
The singer reportedly refused an antidote from the snake handler but later began vomiting on stage and suffered a seizure.
She was rushed to hospital where she died.
King cobras are the world's longest venomous snake and grow to around 18 feet long. They can release enough venom in a single bite to kill 20 people or an elephant.

With the wedding date closing in, March has been designated by Mike as a crash diet month. It doesn't sound nearly as bad as you think but we are allowed two cheat meals a week, everything else is fresh, homemade or low calorie/low fat- we are not perfect and love our comfort food like pizza and Chinese food, therefore a super strict diet is not going to work for us. And we are not feeling like we need to do anything too drastic just clean up our eating habits and eliminate the weekly last minute pizza and burgers.
Now I am on a mission to find healthy easy to make meals that we both enjoy (I am a very picky eater). Below is my current go to list for keeping things interesting, tasty and healthy. As we make them this month, I will post pictures and recipes and let you know how they are received.
- Leeann Chin- Peking Chicken
- Sushi-California Rolls
- Turkey Tacos
- Spaghetti with meatballs
- Fajitas
- Garlic Lemon Chicken
- Lemon Salmon with Asparagus
- Beef and Broccoli
- Balsamic Chicken with Asparagus and Tomatoes
- Beef Lo Mein
- Tomato and Pesto Chicken Pasta
- Seasoned White fish
- Spinach stuffed Steak with baked potatoes

Having just completed a 3 day workshop at Lumina Learning understanding how Lumina Emotion, their new emotional intelligence tool, works, it got me thinking about how as individuals we can develop our emotional intelligence.
Stewart Desson at Lumina Learning has identified, through his research, that there is a strong link and overlap between personality qualities and the factors traditionally measured to determine emotional intelligence. Common wisdom has been that personality is reasonably static, but that emotional intelligence is a skill that can be learnt.
I have always been slightly sceptical of this approach.
I accept that your underlying personality, once fully developed, tends to be relatively consistent. However, through my coaching, I have seen some big shifts in the capability of individuals to adapt both their everyday behaviour and how these qualities overextend when they are under pressure or stress.
My big take away from last week is that Emotional Qualities (Sparks) and Reactors are simply an extension to our personality. Lumina have defined these qualities and reactors in our underlying, everyday and overextended personas. The research seems to indicate it is how we choose to react to stimulus that makes the key difference between emotional intelligence or lack of it.
Victor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) said:
'Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom"
Many people feel that they are hard wired one way or another, i.e. when they receive the stimulus the only option they have is to respond in the way they are pre-programmed to respond.
I am not saying that it is easy to use that space and make a choice. The easiest option is simply to react.
However, as human beings we do have a choice in how we react to a situation. It is whether we are self-aware enough to recognise the space exists and to use it. Knowing our likely default behaviour by understanding the personality qualities we prefer, enables us to consider whether the reaction this encourages is appropriate for the situation or not.
The skill comes from the ability to tune these reactions up and down to suit the presenting situation. Lumina Emotion gives me a language to explore this with people to help move from intellectual acceptance of emotional intelligence as a concept, into action (ie doing something about managing emotional reactors) to truly develop emotional intelligence.

Kroger's trays include those with mini-subs, breakfast, vegetable, dessert, fruit, meat and cheese, kids, and an assortment of wings. With the exception of the Weekender and Party Sub trays, most deli trays at Kroger serve 10-16 people. Weekender trays serve 6-8 and Party Sub trays serve 4-5 people per foot.
Party planners should take care to accurately assess the number of people attending an event before placing an order for trays. Orders can be placed online and then scheduled for pickup in the store. Kroger asks that all orders be placed 24 to 48 hours in advance to allow time to make the items.

By: Rita Gipp and Travis Duffy
What is the most frequent question asked in the Algebra classroom? It very well might be, "When are we ever going to use this?" Making connections between the classroom and the outside world prove to be beneficial in motivating students to an elevated level of performance.
The Need to Make Connections
While the question might seem to ring in the air of defiance, a quality educator realizes that a student's need to make connections between classroom concepts and the world in which they live ias actually a desirable quest. It demonstrates higher level thinking -- a desire to give reason and purpose to the task at hand. By providing answers to the question, and making worthwhile connections, the teacher has the ability to turn the question into a highly valuable inquisition.
A Teacher's Point of View
The task, then, is to answer the question in a manner in which students find purpose. I pondered. In making connections between what is being taught and the real-world around them, a valuable tool to use is role-modeling. There are many examples in the community in which surely career-minded individuals would be able to relate how Algebra is used in the working world. I could bring in a guest speaker to relay personalized examples. I began my search on www.careercruising.com, a site our school district uses to make connections between volunteers in the community and teachers who could use their role-modeling resources.
In the midst of my search, trying to decide which careers to pull in that would provide the most connections between my student population and adults working in the community, I had a revelation. What I really needed was someone with whom my transescent students could most closely relate, and for this age group, the one most important influence in their lives lie within the values of their own peer groups. Who among them might be able to talk with authority on the value of Algebra?
It took me two seconds for the name Travis Duffy to enter my mind. Travis had been s student of mine two years earlier I had continued connection with my former student, keeping in frequent connection with what was happening in his life in terms of his ongoing quest for technology and development of his skills.
There were an abundance of examples I could think of immediately with which Travis would be able to relate real application of Algebra to his everyday world. Even better, I knew the examples Travis would be able to provide were in areas of high interest to my students. Travis had been (and still was) a member of our county's Rock N'Robots club. Through communication with the leaders of the club, I knew that raw coding was used to program the robots. Any programming language can easily be connected to the application of Algebra with its systematic lines of code.
While still in middle school, Travis has intermittently shown me his progress with his ongoing quest to create his own operating system. He even created a business name, "Galaxy Programming." Since middle school, Travis had published at least one app on the Windows Store that I was a ware of. That would surely impress my students!
I talked to Travis. He was all for helping to make connections for my students and we scheduled a time for him to share his view of how Algebra is used in his daily life. I gave Travis a little outline of my ideas of how I knew him to use Algebra in his world and left it up to him to put together a quality presentation. That he did!
I talked to Travis. He was all for helping to make connections for my students and we scheduled a time for him to share his view of how Algebra is used in his daily life. I gave Travis a little outline of my ideas of how I knew him to use Algebra in his world and left it up to him to put together a quality presentation. That he did!
The Presentation
Our plan was to have Travis speak to us via a Cisco Telepresence machine, a video conferencing tool that allows physically distant participants feel as though they are in the same room with one another. As luck would have it, we had a glitch with that plan on the day of the presentation, but in a perfect example of quick problem solving, Travis took out his phone and connected us via Google Hangouts. I attached a webcam and microphone to the classroom desktop, and we had Travis projected up on our Smartboard. For subsequent presentations that day, Travis was able to connect to us from a computer in the high school library for a clearer view of his presentation.
The following is in the words of the classroom guest speaker, Travis Duffy:
The following is in the words of the classroom guest speaker, Travis Duffy:
I am a member of the "Rock N' Robots" robotics club. Participating in that gropu requires a lot of skills, including engineering and math. Because we have members that are really good at math, we won the 2014 Lake Superior Regional competition in Duluth, MN. Additionally, our team competed in a copmetition at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where we finished fourth in the nation. The MIT competition featured code from Rock N'Robots being sent to the International Space Station where it was used to control robots.
We use math in many ways in our robotics group. Programming the robots requires application of math in many ways, most notably with the use of mathematical formulas within lines of code. Additionally, analyzing lines of code is similar to working step-by-step through lines of solutions in algebraic equations. The process of locating an error in code replicats the process of finding an error in lines of algebraic solutions. Building the robots also requires math as it applies to the engineering of the design.
During competitions, we had to use math in order to help the robot make decisions that would ultimately get us points. Our team also used math while building the robot by planning dimensions and angles for different apparatus on the robot. Calculations were made to determine correct speeds and angles when throwing things like balls and Frisbees to make goals during competitions.
Shape Helper
I also made a program that helps people solve equations for shapes called Shape Helper. Shape Helper can find the area, width, surface area, and volume of any shape that has 3-9 sides. All you would need to do is enter the height and width of the shape to get the area and perimeter, If you wanted the volume and surface area, you would type the length, width, and height. I used math while developing this program by converting equations to simplified versions a computer would understand. All of the code I made to solve problems for the user was written step-by-step. When I developed this program, I separated every part of the fraction in order to easily find errors that could occur during the debugging process. If I had crammed everything together in one line, it would have been hard to figure out where I made my error. It is the same in Algebra; if you make a mistake without writing everything out and showing your steps, it will be very difficult to find where you made you mistake and fix it.
There are so many careers out there that require math, even if you are a chef or fashion designer! Chefs have to be good are measuring and adding fractions, while fashion designers have to be good at algebra and measuring. Below is a list of careers that require a strong math background:
Fashion Designer
Jewelry Artist
Science Journalist
Special Effects Director
Environmental Consultant
Computer Scientist
Stock Broker
Game Designer
Interior Designer
Car Designer
Petroleum Engineer
Aeronautical Engineer
And many, many more
Unexpected Takeaways
While speaking with Travis during the presentation, there were a number of valuable takeaways that took the initial desire to simply provide examples of math in use to a level beyond application of course content.
Travis now works part-time for our school's IT department. I brought this up during the presentation so that students might witness the potential monetary value of hard work and development of skills. Most of these fourteen-year-olds can't wait until they have a job and their own spending money. I remembered a conversation I had with Travis over the summer about how he had spent the day ticking and un-ticking check boxes within a new program the district had installed. Surely this was a mundane, yet necessary, task and provided a wonderful example of how all jobs come with some less than desirable duties.
Travis was able to reiterate that he loves his job with IT, and that yes, it does at times come with responsibilities of providing service wherever service is needed, not just what he wants to do. I included in discussion some of the tasks that come along with my job as a teacher that I don't enjoy doing, and summarized by making a connection to their role as students. Some classes naturally interest them more, but in proper preparation for future success, it's important to complete the daunting tasks along with those that excite them.
Another valuable point of reference came on the tails of talking about the application Travis had published at the Windows Store. According to the Stanford University Marshmallow Experiment (1970), it is innate to prefer immediate gratification of lesser value than to delay the gratification, even when the delay is short term and the reward is doubled in value. This is a concept that needs to be taught and experienced to be understood and valued. Travis was able to discuss his purpose for making his Shape Helper app available to download for free, drawing attention to the end reward once a newer, more robust version of the tool was made available for purchase.
A final connection I found necessary to make was in respect to Travis being an average, but hard working student. I wanted to eliminate the possibility of my students viewing Travis as someone who must be skilled beyond their own potential; a born genius, if you will. Travis is a good student, and as I remembered, he was part of the Algebra class. That year, 8th graders participated in either 8th grade Math, Algebra, or Geometry, with a large majority assigned to 8th grade Math, the class targeted for average achievers of their grade level. A few mathematically gifted students participated in the 9th grade Geometry class while students showing promise were advanced more subtly, to Algebra. Travis was an Algebra student, the same as those in his audience the day of the presentation. The desired message was that Travis was simply a dedicated student, reaping the successes of his own hard work.
Summary and Closing
An experienced teacher is able to tell when students are engaged in a presentation or lesson, or when they are simply participating idly as polite audience members. There was no doubt at presentation end each hour that students were completely engaged. In fact, Travis sent me a copy of a message he received from a student the evening of the presentation. It read, "Do you REALLY use Algebra every day?" In response, I'm compelled to pose a follow-up question. Do you think this student would have felt comfortable sending the same message to an adult speaker who was brought in to share how he uses Algebra in his career?
In making ongoing connections with students, it is most valuable when those connections relate not only to the world they see around them, but the values they exhibit within. Role modeling is proven to be an effective tool in helping students to develop an intrinsic idea of what is possible for their own futures. If the opportunity exists to provide role-modeling from within their own most valued and influential group – their peers – the lasting effects of the messages conveyed are multiplied. In the experience shared herein, mission accomplished!

Campaign Spending Heats up in Supreme Court Elections
February 20th, 2013
The last week before the election typically sees a dramatic increase in the amount of spending, but preliminary figures are already in for a number of high-profile races:
In Iowa, groups seeking to remove three Justices for their votes overturning a same sex marriage ban have spent $539,000, while those supporting retention have spent $117,000.
In Illinois, supporters of embattled Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride have raised $2.1 million,
while conservative groups seeking to unseat him have raised $561,000.
In Ohio
In Colorado, an anti-tax group seeking to remove some of the Supreme Court Justices seems to be out of money after having raised barely$33,000.
To compare these figures, it is important to consider the size of the state where the advertisements are running:
Iowa: Spending = $656,000; Population = 3 million;
Ratio = 22 cents/citizen
Illinois: Spending = $2.6 million; Population = 12.9 million;
Ratio = 21 cents/citizen
Ohio: Spending (TV ads only) = $1.1 million; Population = 11.5 million;
Ratio =10 cents/citizen
Colorado: Spending (opponents only)=$33,000; Population = 5 million;
Ratio = .6 cents/citizen
Iowa, Ohio, and Colorado are races involving multiple judges, whereas the Illinois numbers are from one specific race. So at this point it looks like Illinois is "winning" the campaign spending contest.
In other election news, the organization Justice at Stake has compiled current examples of attack advertisements from the judicial races in Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois. Of particular interest is an ad from the Iowa race, which begins by criticizing the "ruling class" who "say it's wrong for voters to hold Supreme Court justices accountable for their decisions." This is indicative of the divide between the populists, who want to treat judges as politicians and punish them for unpopular decisions, and the "elitists," who believe judges should be somewhat insulated from politics.

A limerick is a wee bit more complicated. Here's one description.
Kindly post your haiku or limerick in the comments, below!
We had an aluminum tree
moderne to the highest degree.
When the colored lights twirled,
reflections all swirled
just like tripping out on LSD.
Oh Roxie! You do make me laugh! :-DReplyDelete
Where is this statue-
squirrel in stump among oak trees?
Please reveal it Pat!
Ms. Lichen tell us, oh please,
where did you find the oak trees?
You gave us clues very few
about a cute squirrel statue,
and now I beg on my knees.
Boots are made to walk
'neath trees and wide open skies.
Bare feet swim in stream.
Rose, I hate to even mention it now,
(you did your best to answer, and how!)
But the very first guess
(and her only, no less!)
by Murr Brewster was correct! (Ow!)
oh lover of nuts
and seeds and maybe worms too
furry squirrel, eat
sparkle and crimson
satin and lace, shining bright
glowing Christmas tree
will we ever find out the one thing you never did on the list ? i am interested. i loved your book, kidnapping the lorax, hated the ending, then after pondering, realized there could be no other ending and that it was perfect.ReplyDelete
Oh, I thought I'd 'fessed up about that one thing I hadn't done on the list (to the right, above, and also on the back "Kidnapping the Lorax").
I never learned how to tap dance. Rusty Frank and I thought we would likely be arrested when I climbed aboard the Japanese whaler and chained myself to the harpoon gun--meanwhile, Rusty went into the whaling station itself and handed out pamphlets written in Japanese that we'd prepared to explain our action. We figured we'd be sharing a cell for months while awaiting a trial, and during that time Rusty would teach me to tap dance. But that didn't happen after all.
Rusty has gone on to do amazing things over the years, including starting Rusty's Rhythm Club in CA: http://rustyfrank.com/

Former Alex and Ani exec files wrongful termination lawsuit
Robert Rainville, a former corporate executive with Alex and Ani has filed a lawsuit against the Rhode Island-based jewelry company, alleging{}breach of contract and wrongful termination for his firing in November.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. Federal Court on Wednesday in Providence.
In the lawsuit, Rainville claims Alex and Ani has failed to pay him $1 million in compensation for his role in connection with the company receiving $75 million in financing in 2012 from the private equity firm JH Partners in San Francisco.
Rainville also alleges he was promised additional compensation, 2 percent of corporate stock set aside for company executives.
Rainville attached an exhibit to the lawsuit, which appeared to be an email from Alex and Ani CEO Giovanni Feroce to several of those executives, including Rainville. In the email, Feroce allegedly wrote, "The JH deal has closed!{}As a result, you all just became shareholders in AA. Congratulations, if you don't bust my balls you will all{}be wealthy someday soon"
In the pages of the lawsuit, Rainville said he had requested his bonus and stock options on several occasions since September 2012, but never received them.
The lawsuit claims in February that Feroce transferred Rainville's position from Alex and Ani's General Counsel to Senior Vice President of University Relations.
And on Nov. 25, Rainville claims he was fired without notice and without cause. Rainville's lawsuit said Feroce, "acted in a deceitful and fraudulent manner with regard to the payment of the transaction bonus and the issuance of corporate stock."
Rainville alleges that prior to his firing he "raised concerns and voiced his opposition" with Feroce and company founder Carolyn Rafaelian over him "performing personal legal work" for corporate offices and directors Feroce and Rafaelian, unrelated to Alex and Ani business.
Rainville also alleges the existence of a "hostile work environment," including the Feroce's violation of the company's sexual harassment and substance abuse polices.
Feroce called the lawsuit "ridiculous." He said he couldn't comment on why Rainville was fired but wished him the best and said, "at the end of the day people know me and people know him."
Attempts to reach Rainville were unsuccessful.

Tips for Maintaining Site Content
Tuesday, July 17, 2007 Comments (0)
Web site content is not always the easiest thing to master or even maintain, but following a few of the following tips can make it a little easier:
• Use dates sparingly and keep copyright year updated.
• Create and use Content Panels with publish and expiration dates to make management easier.
• Identify links to non-HTML documents with an icon (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.).
• Limit or eliminate divider bars.
• Use content layout templates and page layout styles which provide a clear focal point for the viewer.
• Avoid jargon or unexplained acronyms.
• Update content on entire site continually (but especially the home page).
• Use the Statistics Manager along with Google Analytics to track page views and know which content is getting good results - and which content isn't.
• Avoid anything that causes horizontal scrolling (i.e. images or tables or other objects that are too wide for the page).
• ALWAYS, always perform a spelling and grammar check on your content before making it live.

The Poll Manager (available with Silver plans and above) enables you to create a simple question-and-answer exchange with site visitors. It works like the other managers, which means you access it through the Control Panel and click the "plus" sign to add a poll. The Page Editor opens, you type your question and click "save".
Next, tabs for Poll Answers and Poll Placement will appear. To create answers, click the Poll Answers tab and input them one at a time. Click the "save" icon after you input each answer.
Most polls list two to four possible answers. The results, which appear directly on the site, are updated as each visitor makes a selection. (Note: visitors are only able to vote once from the same computer.)
The Poll Placement tab enables you to choose the page or pages where you want to place the poll. The poll will appear in the left or right column depending on the template used.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Friday, June 29, 2007 Comments (0)
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that technology is driven by a need for speed. While "faster, quicker, sooner" is the impetus behind software or programming developments, there are also ways to shorten the time it takes to complete individual tasks. Keyboard shortcuts, for instance, give you the opportunity to eliminate a step and reduce typing time without ever removing your fingers from the keyboard. With E-zekiel, you can use any of the following shortcuts in the Page Editor:
Control+c: Copy selected
Control+x: Cut selected
Control+v: Paste selected (Use the Paste from Word icon to remove formatting from copied text.)
Control+a: Select all the items in the current window
Control+z: Undo the last action
Control+p: Prints whatever is in an active window.
If you're using a Mac, use the Command (Apple icon) key instead of the Control key.
For those who spend a significant amount of time at the keyboard, the practice of using keyboard shortcuts can be a great time-saver over the long-term.

For web pages especially, selecting a title as a part of a "marketing strategy" is no small matter – because it's one of main elements given weight within search engines. In fact, when visitors view their search results, they typically decide whether to visit the site based on the page title.
In E-zekiel, you designate your "Site Title" under the Home Page Settings tab in the Site Manager, and it becomes that piece of text that you see on your browser's title bar.
For an effective title, start with your chosen keywords. Remember, meaningful information – like church name, including denomination, city and state – are far more useful than something like "Welcome to Our Church" could ever be. You've got about 60 to 80 characters to work with – that's often all that fits in the display – but that's usually enough for the main information.
Promote Your Summer Activities With the Event Manager
Friday, June 15, 2007 Comments (0)
A tool that comes with every E-zekiel package, the Event Manager provides a way to schedule and promote your events, while removing them once they've gone by. And with so much happening in the summer, now's a great time to fill up your event calendar with everything you want people to attend.
You can list events that occur one time only, or events that recur (every Tuesday, for example). And if you prefer, with Silver and above packages, you can limit the viewing of events to registered members of your site.
Whatever options you choose, all you need to enter a new event is a title, a start date, end date, time, location and, for repeating events, the frequency of the event.

Display Your Slogan and Increase Site Traffic at the Same Time
Friday, June 08, 2007 Comments (0)
When you fill in a "Site Title" in the Site Manager, that information plugs into the strip across the top that serves as your browser's Title Bar. If you'd like, you can also add your organization slogan (think short mission statement, tag line, or community information) in that same strip. To make this addition, access your Site Manager, then click the "Home Page Settings" tab. In the "Motto/Slogan" field, enter the text of your slogan.
Because the Motto/Slogan immediately follows the Site Title, you may need a dash, period or other mark to separate the two. In other words, the Site Title could be similar to "Grace Baptist Church." The Motto/Slogan could be similar to "A friendly, missions-oriented church in Williams, North Carolina."
Adding information specific to your church, your denomination, your mission and your community will also help improve your search engine rankings. That way, more potential visitors can find you – not only on the web but also on Sunday morning!
How to Display Copyright Information on Your Site
Tuesday, June 05, 2007 Comments (0)
Did you realize that you can add your organization's copyright information next to the "Powered by E-zekiel" tagline? It will appear as automated content at the bottom of each page and often looks something like this: © Copyright 2007 "Your Organization Name Here". All Rights Reserved. Powered by E-zekiel.
To add this type of information to your site, access the Site Manager, then click "Home Page Settings." Enter the appropriate information in the "Copyright" field, then click "Save."
If you'd like to add a symbol – such as © or ® – please be aware that these symbols cannot be input directly into the copyright field. To add a symbol, we recommend that you type the copyright content into your word processing software, copy it, and then use your browser paste icon to paste the content into the copyright field. Now, when you click save, the copyright information will now be displayed just before "Powered by E-zekiel".
One other important note: If the "Powered by E-zekiel" tagline is removed during the customization of an E-zekiel design template within the Design Manager, neither the E-zekiel copyright information nor your organization's copyright information will be displayed.

Commercials these days can be found everywhere. They are now almost at every corner of our modern lives, both in the external physical world and inside our internal worlds.
From large flashing lights that draw attention too a store that wants to sell you "goods", to advertisement in magazines and all kinds of media; where contrast, color,focus and other elements that you can relate to and sense are used to win your focus over all the other elements in your head, to gain your attention, to gain your focus, then bias/influence you.
The more frequent this happens, the more familiar it becomes, more "normal/right" you feel it is.
"Your meaning-making begins most fundamentally by using some reference for how you reason, interpret, and construe the world. Ultimately all of us use our sensory experiences of seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling, and tasting as our first point of reference. To create meaning you cannot select every experience, so you first have to select some experience."
― L. Michael Hall, Neuro-Semantics
We cannot perceive everything that is going on in my sensual reach at once, we therefore have to focus at a selected few at the time.
It's here where advertisement come in, and try to be as flashy as possible, to get your spontaneous attention. They're fighting to with all their might and power, to make your eyes spontaneously jump to something that you're instinctively told sticks out.
Now they have your attention, it's time to make some meaning.
"Appreciating How You Create Meaning By way of summary, you at first link and associate to reduce the amount of confusion and chaos in the world. You construct your first mappings of what things mean in this way. "What does something mean?" It depends what you or another person has connected to a thing, event, or word. How do they represent it and, given that representation, what is that linked to? "Meaning" does not have to be logical, rational, or valid in this sense. That's why associative meaning can be so idiosyncratic and unique to a given individual and that without understanding the historical context within which the person linked up the connections, we have a difficult time understanding the person's "logic."
― L. Michael Hall, Neuro-Semantics
When we experience something new, we connect other things(relations,values, mechanisms etc.) we are aware of and perceive at that moment to the new "thing". We give it values, purpose and a meaning.
Affection Theory: the more frequent you think or do something, the more likely it would be to become a habit, therefore "normal". So the more normal things become in the masses like, items, gestures, rituals or what not, the more likely are an unfamiliar entity which are to accept this new "thing" without giving it much thought. You're more likely to be "you're OK" if it's more frequently or shown trust by in large doses/having a lot of similarities / normality.
Getting this out there is important for me, because advertisement isn't only to sell you commercialized goods, but also to influence and "program" your daily lives. And as these things become more normal for people, they start to digest it without giving it thought, like previously described. This can be dangerous in large masses. Where someone can "brainwash" a whole nation to a certain belief, just by repetitively saying/exposing them, for what they want to be "right".
Look at how large of an effect Vogue and the other top-notch fashion magazines have on our daily fashion, and how these well-known products shape what's hip or not.
So, let me ask, to what extent do you believe any of the effects you?
To what extent do you believe you know this affect you?
Whatever conclusion you might have, don't get to certain on it, you're an ever-changing entity influenced by internal and external influences, so instead of using time on finding a reason to it, which is craft-able at will, use the time to become more aware of this on a daily basis, and be at guard from all these "attacks".
Let's take it up a notch and talk about how I believe it have affected sexuality. Since everything sex related, porn, soft porn, strip clubs etc. have become more and more legal, less filtered out, it have made us believe it's OK/normal to have sex on a regular basis. For some it might be, but to me, sex should be considered more "holy". Something that's done in more special occasions with someone you have a deep and open connection with. Instead of having one night stands every weekend.
It's not only this, but when ejaculating, chemicals are released that rewards your body, tells you it's OK to relax, since you've done your job to "reproduce" yourself. These chemicals relax your body and way of functioning to such a way that you become very comfortable, therefore having it hard to let go on this, staying conservative, less open for change.
So ejaculating is a bad thing for me, some could call it a sin. As it drains my focus, concentration and makes me less productive.
But the problem isn't that we're exposed to sex, and that we consider things that happens frequent as normal, even to this makes it harder, rather that we're not questioning our own awareness and comfort, and what it would cost us in the long run, if we let it take control.
This is only one factor which is affected by this all, just think about how much influence organisations have over you, even when you're not aware of it.
Stop looking for answers, start to look for questions.

In order to understand the differences between Microsoft Windows Azure Solutions and Amazon services, to know which is more beneficial for you, it's essential to first understand the basics of cloud computing.
Cloud based computing includes storing files on an Internet server in place of storing them on the hard drive of a computer. For the reason that they don't need to be stored on a server within the users' office, the files may be retrieved from everywhere a computer is used. Since many companies have large amounts of information stored on computers, the need for memory as important. Cloud computing eliminates the need to install dedicated software to the computer, thereby decreasing the amount of memory needed.
Now as you come to know about what cloud computing actually is, so let's have a look at the features of Azure and Amazon web services which will help you to decide the right cloud.
Azure is more handy for developers:-
Microsoft WindowsAzure Services are considered more handy for developers who are familiar with.NET and Visual Studio. So this becomes simpler for Windows developers to use. Amazon offers Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Besides this, they have necessities for storage and developers must keep in mind the computing time and bandwidth of the applications.
Azure is designed for more security:-
Microsoft has matchless experience running trusted online services around the sphere and operates pioneering centers of excellence on digital crime, safety response, and malware safety. Azure was designed and made using the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle. So it provides more security as compared to Amazon web services.
Integration is possible with Azure:-
Unlike Amazon Web Services, Azure doesn't bind you to third-party integration solutions so you can take full benefit of the cloud at every layer of the stack. Azure enables customers to extend on-premise integration solutions to the cloud, and moreover provides business-to-business, organization application integration, and hybrid linking competences.
Microsoft has been more cautious in an effort to establish the development of Windows AzureSolutions and Services. They trust, as several analysts do also, that consumers want the files stored on the site. The forthcoming of cloud computing remains to be seen. Even so, with the differences mentioned above, users interested in this technology should be able to make the choice between Amazon and Azure Services.

L.A. Woman, late again: Precious Tries to Make It To School On Time
I'm not the most punctual person. I try. I do try. But it doesn't come easy to me. Like math — or packing — I have to really work hard at it. At being on time.
I have Jack all week during the next while because Wes is directing a show in Niagara Falls. This means I have five more opportunities to be late again getting Jack to school, instead of just the usual two or three. I don't know about you, but I find it really disheartening when my bad habits start to reflect on my kid. I hate it.
Ideally, we should be there at 8:45am. That's when the first bell rings and there is a teacher standing by the side door to let the kids in. But they only hold that door open for about 55 seconds. We don't live close enough to his school to walk, so we need to drive. And let's be real: even if I did live close enough, I'd probably drive. Go ahead judge me, I grew up in Los Angeles.
There is a parking lot adjacent to the school but it's a mess by that time. First bell is a five minute window of utter chaos and potential destruction.
All of this is directed by our trusty crossing guard. He's like a musical conductor. Letting cars pass, stopping cars to let kids cross, stopping cars to let other cars pull out. And he's nice, too.
I like him. I'd like to think the feelings are mutual.
So, back to the parking lot. For some reason there is a gate that separates the school from the lot. And they keep the entrance locked. To avoid walking all the way around, people jump over the fence. Why do they lock it? Security? It doesn't really add to security. Maybe from very, very short pedophiles. It's just tiresome. You have to lift your kid up over this gate in one particular spot where they've filed the spikes down (for this purpose?). And then hand over your kid's backpack. When I go to pick up my son, I jump over it myself. And if I'm wearing a dress, I flash the daycare in portable one. Good times.
If we miss first bell and the side door closes, we have to go through the front. And if we miss the second bell at 8:50am, we need a note at the office. At first this was a novelty. Getting a little slip of paper from the attractive school secretary who always has a tan. Walking Jack to his classroom. Being a part of this whole other life my son has! A brief whiff of his day job.
But now the secretary knows Jack by name. "Hi Jack!" she says, and then she glances up at me. Is that a reproachful look?
Once we arrived just as "Oh Canada" was playing and everyone had to stand still. As a child I always went to weird foreign or alternative schools, and I never had to pledge allegiance, so this is all faintly embarrassing to me.
I'm such a fake Canadian. At least I'm early for my 9:15 a.m. boot camp at Extreme Fitness.
Ugh. Tomorrow is another day. We WILL leave the house at 8:25am. We WILL be on time. Hope springs eternal.
