It's been awhile man since we've seen your Tips.. Hope all is great with you :)
@Living Room Loft - Its a great place for a birthday in the summer. Nice view and a very intimate atmosphere.
Well it depends on what kind of a celebration you're looking for. If you just want to gather some friends, you can go to @56 Cafe in Rainbow street, cool place. you can go to Aqaba and rent a boat, go Parasailing. Spend the day at a dead sea resort. go karting at @Jordan Speed Center. It's all up to you
You can always celebrate it in a small place by booking up a certain area or even just a table. Some notable places that come to mind include @Bonita as well as @La Calle pub
@Atay Cafe & Restaurant They even sing a cool Birthday song ;)
I really like @Brick Lane it's always a great place to celebrate a birthday and the management there will be very accommodating to your needs. Another good choice thats more upscale is @Oz Boutique Restaurant but I doubt you can rent out the whole place or create much of a crazy time unless you are ready to spend big! Especially in the summer!
I might do mine in @Clava Lounge try it

Personal Commemorations
I've been thinking lately about the ways in which we choose to commemorate individuals--not necessarily famous ones, but just those who connect with others, but may not be famous or well-known. In the last few weeks, my own small community has seen the accidental--and unconnected deaths of three young people. Intriguingly, the way that high school and college students choose to commemorate those lives is a facebook site dedicated to the person. People "friend" the site, post pictures and videos, and write messages directly to the deceased. In a way, it's a collective "curation" of a life by friends. It made me wonder about what happens to those sites over time? Do they continue to exist in cyberspace?
In Toronto, I saw two other commemorations--both very different. At the entrance to the Bay, Toronto's big department store, is this window.
Long ago, this particular store must have been Simpson's, rather than the Hudson Bay Company--my somewhat fuzzy picture doesn't quite show it, but it's commemorating Simpson's employees killed during World War II. But I wondered about this window...is it always up? does anyone ever look at it? and who were all these people? what were their lives like before the war? what happened to them? How do their families remember them--and do they even know this was there? I was touched by whatever corporate entity still maintained this display.
We also visited Gallery 44, which had an installation by Ivan Jurakic. My photos don't quite express it, but he created, in an outline of electric bulbs, an outline of a Nazi plane shot down by Resistance fighters--including his father--during World War II. It's not about the plane, really, but seemed to me to be about commemorating that part of his father's life.
All of these made me think about how museums commemorate people. Well, we're happy to do plaques for people who give us money (or in the case, below, have big pictures of donors in your museum) but perhaps we could spend more time finding those individual stories, and telling them in compelling ways to connect them with larger themes and meanings. And, don't take those objects without compelling stories attached just because you don't know how to say no.

Good recipes for oatmeal streusel topping include uncooked old-fashioned or rolled oats, sugar and butter. Some variations include assorted spices. The spice choices are dependent on what the topping is paired with. Pumpkin pie spice is good with pumpkin muffins, and cinnamon is delicious with apple pie.
A basic oatmeal stresuel recipe calls for 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 cup old fashioned oats, 3/4 cup all purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt combined together in a large bowl. Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into pieces and mix in with hands. Squeeze gently until the mixtures forms moist clumps, then cover and chill until needed.
For a Dutch apple pie topping, add in ground cinnamon with the dry ingredients. Start with 1/2 teaspoon, and add more to taste if desired. Adding 1 teaspoon lemon zest also brings delicious flavor to apple pie toppings. Cover the top of the pie if the streusel topping browns too quickly during baking.
A very simple streusel recipe that is perfect for pumpkin muffins includes 1/4 cup old fashioned oats, 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, melted and 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl, and sprinkle on top of muffin mix before baking.

This theme was to create a Valentine's treat with something edible on or inside of it! I decided to make a little box and fill it with Hershey's Kisses. I think it turned out cute and it was my first time making a box! The prize for this contest is a Cricut Cake Mini and I would LOVE to win one! Here's hoping for a chance!

Went to a Mike Epps show saturday night. It was exactly what I thought it would be: A BLACK GHETTO POWER RALLY. Each black comedian tossed nothing but racist drivel out and the only white comedian actually had a comedy set. For a group of people who hate being called nigger they said it about 50K times all night. nigga this, nigga that, nigga nigga nigga every other word. Even had 4 black women bickering as to who was going to sit beside me. None of them wanted to sit beside the cracker wearing the SLAYER shirt. I saw what was going on and laughed at them. Once they saw I was laughing at them it pissed them off that some cracker was laughing at their ignorant mentalities. It was everything youd expect from a black show: racist cracks at whites and black power drivel, and they wonder why whites look at them as unevolved ghetto trash. NIGGA PLEASE.....Thankfully I didnt pay for the tickets.....

Outside of Port City Java, Scott Luetgenau and Chris Campau, the co-founders of the Collegiate Recovery Community here at NC State, sit, their voices muffled by the rumble of a nearby train and the generalized gray noise of students enduring a rainy day on campus. According to Luetgenau and Campau, many of these students who seem as though getting to class is their only problem fighting deeper, unseen battles—an estimated 500 students at NC State that are in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Luetgenau and Campau, both seniors majoring in social work and both recovering from drug or alcohol addictions explained proudly that the year-old chapter had just been selected for a $10,000 grant from the Stacie Mathewson Foundation, as seed money to get Collegiate Recovery Community started at NC State.
Campau spoke of his struggle to be accepted into NC State because of poor performance at Western Carolina University and a spotty legal history due to his past addictions.
"After they denied my initial application, I began researching collegiate recovery and ended up with a bunch of opportunities and scholarships from major universities around the country," Campau said. "I came back to NC State and realized that this was something that we needed to be doing at the largest university in the state. I just want students with a past like mine to have a second chance."
Campau further explained his time spent at Western Carolina, where his addiction really took off. He faced many legal and academic consequences because of his addiction.
"My peer group entirely changed," Campau said. "My friends grew up and made the decision to stop partying and graduate. I began hanging out with freshmen and sophomores who were still interested in partying all the time like I was."
Luetgenau got involved in the Collegiate Recovery Community at NC State when he began dealing with personal realizations regarding his addictions.
"For me, it was realizing that I needed to use every single day, and that was the thing I looked forward to the most," Luetgenau said. "So as a college student, if you feel like you can't function or deal with stress without getting high or drinking and feeling like you can't have a good time or go out without drinking or using, those are some pretty big red flags when you should probably begin doing some self-evaluation."
Luetgenau said he had to realize that he could still have a life without drugs and alcohol.
"When I stopped, it was like 'what am I going to do?'" Luetgenau said. "It was everything that I did, especially in a college culture. It is important for people to realize that they can still live their lives while making that choice to disengage from drugs and alcohol."
It is important for college students to understand the warning signs of drug and alcohol addictions. Warning signs are often overlooked in a college environment because overuse of drugs and alcohol is so culturally normalized.
Campau explained that it is important to evaluate behaviors such as, "Do I drink to get drunk?" in order to determine whether or not a student needs to seek help.
Luetgenau and Campau agreed that it is a personal decision to get clean. The Collegiate Recovery Community focuses on the recovery part of addiction, and professional organizations on campus such as AlcoholEdu and the Counseling Center are great with helping students dealing with initial acknowledgment of drug or alcohol problems.
Luetgenau and Campau explained that focusing on recovery is of the utmost importance because there are organizations and help available for people who are making the decision to confront their addictions, but there is not a community for people who have actually made that decision and are in recovery.
"There are certain things that happen on campus to me that only people in recovery would understand," Luetgenau said.
Luetgenau explained that the same thing can be said about mental health because college is an atmosphere with lots of different stressors.
Luetgenau said one of the goals of the Collegiate Recovery Community is to provide activities for students, such as retreats and tailgates. They also want to get a logo designed and gain a professional web presence. Most importantly, they want to build a recovery community and grow closer to other collegiate recovery communities.
The Collegiate Recovery Community caters to people recovering from any sort of drug or alcohol addiction and is also open to people with eating disorders and self-harm. All of these issues can be isolating, and no one really wants to talk about them. The Collegiate Recovery Community wants to create a community so nobody has to feel alone on a campus with more than 34,000 undergraduate students.
"If a student is looking and asking for help, we want to get them help immediately," Campau said. "That moment of realization that they have a problem and the desire to reach out might be very fleeting. For example, it might be on a Sunday morning hung-over."
The Collegiate Recovery Community offers "All Paths to Recovery" meetings every Tuesday evening from 5–6 p.m. in room 126 in the 1911 building. Luetgenau and Campau explained that there are no rigid standards. They are not working a program, but just hanging out and sharing experiences.
"We lean on each other when things get a little bit stressful," Luetgenau said.
Additionally, there are meetings on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. that work toward creating a recovery community at NC State.
Luetgenau and Campau illustrated what it means to have support during recovery. Last weekend, while attending the tailgate before the Boston College football game, they experienced solidarity when facing people who still engaged heavily in substance abuse.
Luetgenau began, "It's not that we are scared of walking into a tailgate where …" Campau interrupted, "… everyone is getting wasted." They laughed warmly as Campau continued, "I mean where binge drinking is so socially accepted. It's just nice to have someone there that understands."
Campau advocated for a better connection between the Collegiate Recovery Community and the admissions board.
"If someone who looks like me on paper shows up at the admission board, I would like for them to not have the same headache that I had," Campau said. "I want the administration to have more information about recovering students."
The first step in initiating a better world for people in recovery is talk about it. They spoke of the suicide prevention vigil that occurred recently on campus, and agreed that they hope to bring awareness similarly to addiction. The Collegiate Recovery Community wants to normalize the conversation around addiction.
"Everyone knows someone dealing with addiction or in recovery," Luetgenau said. "We are battling stigmas. We turn on the TV and see people like Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, and we never get to see people like [Campau] and me who got a second chance at life."
Campau said he wants recovery success stories to be appealing to the public.
"We want to make the recovery success story just as sexy as the train-wreck addiction story," Campau said.
Luetgenau said he wants people to know that people do not choose to be alcoholics.
"When you normalize recovery, it makes people realize that it is a neuroscience and medical issue, not a moral failing," Luetgenau said.
Campau explained that discrimination against people battling addiction and living in recovery is a civil rights issue.
"When I re-entered society, there were a lot of barriers because of how I looked on paper, and this is very destructive," Campau said. "We are not who we are on paper. We are just people living a life where drinking and drugs is no longer an option."
Campau and Luetgenau encouraged students to come out tonight, Oct. 15, to watch the screening of the powerful documentary, Anonymous People, which shows the science behind addiction and gives a face to addiction. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. in the Erahl-Cloyd Auditorium in D.H. Hill Library.

Keys to Local Photography SEO: How to Get Your Business on Google Maps & Yelp
If you're a regular reader of our blog here at Photographer Marketing Academy, you'll know we just did a post on how important local SEO is to your photography business. If you haven't read that one yet, please give that a look before going ahead – it contains some necessary background information about what local SEO really means and how to do it.
Once you've read that article and possibly done some other research on why local SEO matters and how to do it, you'll need a little more detail to help put all those tips into action. I'm here today to help you put some of the most important work in when it comes to local SEO – getting set up with Yelp and Google.
If you don't know already, Yelp is a hugely popular review site that often appears very high on Google results pages and can strongly influence customer opinion one way or the other.
If anyone has written a review for your business already, then it's on Yelp and all you have to do is claim the business as your own. If you're just starting or your clients haven't written any reviews yet, you can also start your own business page (and then start encouraging customers to give you reviews).
You can do either of these things by going to this page on Yelp's official site and typing in your business name and location to get started. The process is easy and Yelp walks you through it step by step.
They will probably try to sell you some advertising during this process, but I wouldn't take that option just yet. Try doing local SEO on your own or with an SEO professional before paying a big company that doesn't know your business personally to advertise – you'll likely get better results that way.
Google Maps
To get reliable information about your business on Google Maps (while also opening it up for Google Reviews and a few other business perks straight from the search engine giant), you also need to register your business with Google. Luckily, this is an even easier process than registering for Yelp.
Go to the Google Business page to get started, and the site will easily walk you through the process. Within a couple of hours at most, you should be entirely set up to get business on autopilot through Google.
What are the benefits of each of these sites?
Having your business on Google will help customers find you, especially local customers or potential clients traveling through your area (because Google has all the other search engines beat when it comes to local and mobile search).
Having your business on Yelp won't necessarily steer customers to your site (although it certainly can't hurt), but can show the level of respect and admiration the community has for your work. You can also use it as a platform for directly interacting with customers, which I'm sure we'll have a post about in the near future.

On Friday, May 13, Highline Public Schools Superintendent Susan Enfield sent out a notice to parents about the recent shooting of a Des Moines man by two boys who attend Pacific Middle School.
The boys – age 14 and 15 – were arrested for the shooting death of a 41-year old man in Des Moines on Friday, May 6 (read our previous coverage here).
In the letter, Enfield says that the district wants "to assure you that your student's safety is our top priority every day." She then lists four ways the district is attempting to deal with recent security concerns in Des Moines.
Here's Enfield's full letter:
Dear Families,
We want to inform you about a development that is impacting our community. Criminal charges have been filed against two boys who attend Pacific Middle School in connection with the shooting death of a man at a Des Moines apartment complex last Friday.
This is unsettling news, but we want to assure you that your student's safety is our top priority every day. Here is what our school district is doing in response to this situation:
- There is extra security and police presence at Pacific and Midway Elementary.
- Pacific and district administrators and staff are working closely with our School Resource Officer, a Des Moines police officer assigned to Mount Rainier and Pacific. He is stationed in our schools during the school day and is our direct line to local police.
- We are paying close attention to students who may be at risk of gang involvement or criminal behavior. With the help of community partners, we are intervening with students to keep them on track for success.
- Pacific administrators have and will continue to remove from school any student who poses a safety threat to our students.
We also want to work together with you to keep all students safe. We strongly encourage you to talk with your children and remind them that if they hear or see anything that concerns them, they should tell any adult at school. We will listen and protect their confidentiality.
This and other recent incidents of gun violence in our community are unsettling to us all.
I have personally reached out to Des Moines Police Chief George Delgado and King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, and will be meeting with them to talk about how we can join with our community to address these tragic circumstances.
Please know that we will continue to do everything in our power to keep our students safe at school.
Susan Enfield, Ed.D.

How To Travel For Free

The following is a contribution from Jason at The Card Journalist.
How do you turn a financial bloggers convention into a travel hacking seminar? Speak to a bunch of bloggers for five minutes on the subject of "How to travel for free." That's what I did recently in front of 150 personal finance bloggers at FinCon in St. Louis, and afterwards, I was besieged by my colleagues who wanted to get in on the deal.
My fellow bloggers were impressed that I covered almost all of the expenses for my trip to St. Louis using credit card rewards, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. By the end of 2013, I will have used points and miles to take about a dozen trips around the country and across the world, many with my family of four, and all of the overseas trips in business or first class. The retail value of these rewards will approach $100,000, yet the cost to me and my family was only pennies on the dollar.
How do I Travel for Free?
There are many tricks that I use to earn, and spend, points and miles towards award travel, but here are my favorite:
1. Credit card sign up bonuses. This is the real low hanging fruit of the points and miles world. Card issuers are so eager to acquire new customers, that they will offer you tens of thousands of points and miles, just for the opportunity to earn your business. Importantly, signing up for a new credit card will increase your credit history and reduce your debt to credit ratio, which will help, not hurt your credit score. One of the best cards currently for this is the Barclaycard Arrival World Mastercard, or if you're looking for somewhere specific, like Hawaii, then the Hawaiian Airlines credit card allows you to earn at least one free coach ticket for spending $1,000 within the first 90 days after opening the card.
For example, I signed up for both the business and personal versions of the Southwest Airlines credit card, which helped me to earn their companion pass, which is the best deal for domestic travel. I used those points to pay for the airfare to the FinCon convention, and used the Companion Pass benefit to bring a friend of mine along for free (other than $5 in taxes). Editor's note: I can vouch for this card as Mrs. Frugal Rules and I did the same thing to fund flights we'll be taking in January.
2. Promotions. Airlines, banks, hotels, and other companies often give away thousands of frequent flier miles, just for making a token purchase. It is up to you to browse their web sites and register for these offers.
3. Buying miles. If you don't have the time to look for the best promotions, sometimes you can simply buy airline miles. While it is usually too expensive to do this, airlines will sometimes offer their miles at a discount. For instance, US Airways frequently sells miles at such low rates, that you could book an award ticket in business class for less than the price of a coach seat.
4. Credit card reward bonuses for spending. Of course, you can earn miles from an airline credit card, but the way to really earn a lot of free travel is through spending bonuses. For example, you can earn 5x Chase Ultimate Rewards points per dollar when you use a Chase Ink card at office supply stores or for telephone, television, or Internet service purchases. You can also get the same thing with the Discover it® card which offers rotating quarterly bonuses of 5x points.
5. Spend your points wisely. This may be the most important factor in my free travel. There are lots of ways to redeem points for one cent each towards travel reservations, but the real value comes when you find luxury hotels or business class international flights where your points and miles are worth 4-8 cents each. In fact, if you are earning 5 points per dollar on some purchases, and you receive another 5 cents per point in value, it is like getting a 25% return on those purchases!
Finally, it is important to understand that earning miles with your credit card is only for those who pay their balances in full and on time, every month. Those who are carrying a balance on their credit cards should avoid reward cards and focus on other mileage promotions while paying off their debt. But by using every available technique for earning points and miles, and a sound strategy for redeeming rewards, you too can stop paying high prices for travel, and start seeing the world for free.
Do you like to churn credit cards? Have you been able to travel for free?
Additional resource: If you're interested in travel hacking so as to earn free travel, there are many cards to consider when doing so. Each card has a little different spin with regards to if they offer cash back or travel rewards – both of which are valuable in their own right. You can check out some of my favorite credit cards here that can get you started on racking up rewards. If you have any questions as to how to start or what to look for in a card, feel free to contact me.

Latin American History Scholar, LIU Dean and Former Citibank Vice President Named Next President of Baruch College
CUNY Appoints Kathleen M. Waldron to Succeed Ned Regan on August 2
NEW YORK, NY -- Citing her strong experience as a scholar,
executive, and educator, the Board of Trustees of The City
University of New York today appointed Dr. Kathleen
M. Waldron, Dean of the School of Business, Public
Administration and Information Sciences at Long Island University
and former President of Citibank International, to become
President of CUNY's Baruch College, effective August
2, 2004.
In accepting the Board's appointment at its evening session today, Dr. Waldron said, "I'm thrilled and honored to receive this opportunity and I'd like to express my gratitude to the CUNY Board, to Chancellor Matthew Goldstein, and to the enormously generous alumni, faculty, and students of Baruch College. I was extremely impressed by all of them as I met them throughout the search process. Their energy, scholarship and commitment make Baruch the great institution it is."
A Fulbright Scholar who received her doctorate in Latin American history from Indiana University, Dr. Waldron held numerous senior management positions at Citibank over a 15-year period, including President of Citibank International in Miami from 1991 through 1996. Dr. Waldron is Dean of the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus, responsible for academic quality, curricula, the development of alumni and corporate relations and student advising.
As President of Baruch College, Dr. Waldron will lead an institution with 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Baruch, comprising the Zicklin School of Business, the largest accredited business school in the nation, as well as the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Public Affairs, is one of the most selective public colleges in the northeast. It is also consistently ranked the most diverse college in America by US News & World Report, with students whose families come from more than 120 nations and over ninety language groups.
Ned Regan, the former Comptroller of the State of New York who served as Baruch's president from 2000 to 2004, steps down to take a chair as University Professor. Under Regan's leadership Baruch students' test scores have risen, retention has improved dramatically, and student services, especially in advising and employment, were significantly overhauled. The campus opened its award-winning Newman Vertical Campus complex in 2001, and in 2003 The William and Anita Newman Library was named by ALA's academic arm as the best college library in the nation.
Dr. Waldron comes to Baruch College after serving for six years as Dean of the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus, where she had responsibility for a student body of 1,000 and more than 70 full-time and adjunct faculty. In her tenure at LIU, she established endowed scholarships and obtained the first corporate foundation awards in the school's history.
Immediately prior to joining Long Island University in 1998, Dr. Waldron worked at Citibank for fifteen years in senior management positions. From 1996 to 1998 she was a member of the policy committee for Citibank's Private Bank, which managed over $100 billion in assets of clients from over forty countries and offered a full range of investment, credit and corporate finance products. She was in charge of Global Strategic Planning for the Private Bank as the group achieved revenues of $1.4 billion. She also served on a transition team when Citicorp merged with Travelers Insurance to form Citigroup in 1998.
From 1991 to 1996, Dr. Waldron was President of Citibank International in Miami, where she managed a $25 million business. From 1988 to 1991, she was director of Citibank's International Agencies Division responsible for providing investment and credit services to large not-for-profit entities in the United States, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Prior to joining Citibank, she worked at Chemical Bank in the Argentine area of the Latin American Division, with responsibility for government and private sector lending.
Dr. Waldron received her doctorate in Latin American History from Indiana University in 1977 and a Certificate in Business from New York University in 1983. Before her banking career, Dr. Waldron was an assistant professor at Bowdoin College in Maine and, from 1980 to 1981, a Fulbright Scholar at the Universidad Católica Andres Bello in Caracas, Venezuela. She has published articles on Latin American finance and Latin American history and she regularly delivers papers and presentations at academic and professional meetings. She serves on the board of Acción International, a large global, nonprofit microcredit lending organization.

Basic Info
Yay! Registration is now open for 2018 Summer Camps!
Camps will begin the week of May 21st and run for 12 straight weeks from 9 a.m. to noon.
The cost is $150 for tuition plus materials fees ($15 for 4-6 year old camp and $25 for the other camps). The materials fees cover the cost of clay, slips (paints), glaze and firing.
We offer camp for three different age groups each week: 4-6 year olds, 7-9 year olds, and 10+. There is some flexibility to this if you want siblings to stay together - just ask us ahead of time!
Every week has a new topic that will guide the creative process. We've tried to represent all manner of interests from sculpting to throwing to environmental topics to Pokemon. We hope you'll find one that speaks to your child's personality.
So, who's teaching your kids? We are very very fortunate to have professional Art Educators as the teachers for your child's Summer Camp. Their "day jobs" are as local art teachers in the elementary and middle schools in the area. There's a good chance that the teacher might even know and already have a relationship with your child!
Good Dirt Campers will get a free tee as a thank you from us! Just make sure you let us know what size (we're getting adult sizes this year) when you're checking out.
Making pottery works up an appetite! Please pack a snack and a water bottle every day to nourish your child's creativity. We'll take a few play breaks, so make sure footwear and clothes are appropriate for mess and play (no flip-flops, please!)
If the camp you're interested in is full, shoot us an email and we'll add you to our waitlist for the week. You never know - sometimes there are cancellations.
Ok. Ready to register and start your artistic journey? Just click here or on the blue "Sign Up" button and find the camp you want. Want to see the whole schedule as a PDF? Click here. See you this Summer!
Still have questions? Then shoot us an email and we'll be happy to answer them.
Where's my stuff?
What happens after camp? We'll dip the pieces in food-safe glaze and fire them in our kilns to create lasting keepsakes of your child's experience. The process of drying, glazing and firing the artwork in our kilns takes awhile, especially given how prolific our campers are! Usually, our turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. We'll give you a call or email to let you know when the pieces are ready to be picked up. They'll be labelled and stored outside on our shelving unit so you can swing by when it's convenient for you!
i need to cancel...
That's ok. We know that sometimes life gets in the way and stuff happens. Just let us know two weeks out that you can't come and we can either switch you to another week of camp or refund your money minus a $35 cancellation fee. If it's two weeks or less before the start of your camp, unfortunately, there is no refund. We turn away a lot of campers each year, and it's tough to fill a spot last-minute.

Looking for the hottest wagon to hitch onto? Forget Google. That is so 2.0 minutes ago. IT Business Edge blogger Ann All pointed out this week that the up-to-the-minute social networking site is bound and determined to become a portal with the potential to "devour the whole Internet." Open invitations to third-party developers mean that we may very well see The Next Big Thing on Facebook first, say observers. Take that, Google Apps and Google Gears.
But wait, if you're not Microsoft, you're too late. As usual. Just under a year ago, Microsoft's adCenter scooped up a three-year advertising deal with number-two social networking site Facebook. At the time, the agreement was seen pretty much solely as a perhaps less-than-perfect answer to Google's deal with number-one social networking monster MySpace.com.
Why are we talking about a year-old deal? Because today, Web 2.0 darling Digg.com announced that it was dumping Google as its advertising partner in favor of Microsoft; a three-year deal, Digg founder Kevin Rose said, was important more for the broad technological expertise Redmond would make available to Digg than for the immediate ad provision switchover.
For Microsoft, a Sterling Market Intelligence analyst told CIO Today, the most important benefit of the deal is brand building and street cred in the Web 2.0 world.
That also-ran deal doesn't look so puny now that Facebook is booming, MySpace is slipping, and Steve Ballmer's vision, if you will, of a Microsoft future based on increased participation in Web services and consumer technology may very well be taking root.
Of course, we all know that no deal of this sort could ever be divorced from the Microsoft-Google battle for dominance on the Web as a platform, as many, like Boomtown blogger Kara Swisher, say, even if Digg.com hadn't left Google holding the bag. But it did and, as Fake Steve said this week of the juggernaut that is Microsoft (or, alternately, the Borg), "...They've got a lot of money, and they're very patient and persistent. They keep pushing and pushing and pushing. They study you. They copy you. They wait for you to make a mistake. ... Eventually, they get their hooks into you, and it starts to wear you down. Not in a big way. Just a little tear at first, way out at the edge of your fabric, so slight you almost don't notice it."

I hit the 30 lb. milestone yesterday! In the last 14 weeks, I've lost 30 lbs.! That averages over 2 lbs. a week, but who's counting? LOL!
I haven't really set a number goal for the second twelve weeks, which ends in late February. I don't know if I can continue losing at this rate – won't I eventually hit a plateau? – but I could feasibly be down to the 170s. Yikes, I know I will look and feel so much better, but that still seems so heavy! But, the 170s is WAY better than the 220s, no?

The Nation Wanderers will tackle Eko FM today in one of the opening matches of the 5-a-side football event of the NUJ Games at National Stadium, Lagos.
The encounter which holds at the indoor hall of the National Institute of Sports, NIS, and gymnasium hall of the National Stadium,will kick-off at about 11 am and is expected to see the best of The Nation Wanderers who recently took a trip to the Super Eagles' camp in Abuja for tactical lessons.
Interestingly, the Group Sports Editor of The Nation/SportingfLife Newspapers, Ade Ojeikere, who will be on hand to cheer the squad, has also promised that his 'boys' will smile to the bank if the squad sinks Eko FM at the end of the hostilities.
Speaking on the match, SportingLife's Uchenna Ajah warned that The Nation Wanderers will be out to give Eko FM a run for their money.
He said: "We are not just the fastest selling newspapers on the stand, we are also eager to show that we are here to improve on our previous fourth place finish. Come Saturday, we are going to give Eko FM a bit of what the Super Eagles will do to Liberia in the final AFCON qualifier in Calabar next weekend."

The FSA intends to release a paper by the summer aimed at enabling the industry to deliver simplified advice.
Giving evidence to the Treasury select committee last week, FSA chief executive Hector Sants said the industry does not feel "sufficiently comfortable" with the regulatory environment to launch simplified services.
He said: "We are committed to publishing a further paper in summer, or earlier if we can, in which we hope to give firms the certainty they need in res- pect of the regulatory questions to enable them to deliver the service."
Concerns have been raised in the past about how the system will function and who will be liable for any problems arising from products sold through a simplified advice structure.
Sants was responding to questions from TSC member Andy Love, who subsequently asked whether difficulties with the simplified advice regime could lead to the RDR being delayed.
FSA director of conduct policy Sheila Nicholl said: "No, I do not think it is that critical."

Arizona Woman Sentenced for Meth Possession
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Senior United States District Judge Richard G. Kopf sentenced Debbie Neumann, 52, of Tucson, Arizona, to 120 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release.
Debbie Neumann was a passenger of a vehicle driven by her husband, Troy, when they were stopped for speeding in Nebraska. Troopers searched the rented vehicle and found a small lock box hidden within the clothing of one of the duffel bags located in the trunk. Inside the lock box were eight baggies containing 7.6 ounces of methamphetamine that was greater than 95% pure. Neumann pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute on July 17, 2013.
This case was investigated by the Nebraska State Patrol.

Full flights come with the Holiday season. Most frequent travelers appreciate an opportunity to get "bumped" from a flight for an airline voucher. Although bumping can be an easy way to earn credit toward future flights, involuntary bumping can delay seeing a loved one, a missed opportunity, or a bad start to the Holidays. To ensure you know your rights regarding involuntary bumping the following from DOT's website should help:
Involuntary Bumping
DOT requires each airline to give all passengers who are bumped involuntarily a written statement describing their rights and explaining how the carrier decides who gets on an oversold flight and who doesn't. Those travelers who don't get to fly are frequently entitled to an on-the-spot payment of denied boarding compensation. The amount depends on the price of their ticket and the length of the delay:
* If you are bumped involuntarily and the airline arranges substitute transportation that is scheduled to get you to your final destination (including later connections) within one hour of your original scheduled arrival time, there is no compensation.
* If the airline arranges substitute transportation that is scheduled to arrive at your destination between one and two hours after your original arrival time (between one and four hours on international flights), the airline must pay you an amount equal to your one-way fare to your final destination, with a 200% / $650 maximum.
* If the substitute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (400% of your fare, $1300 maximum).
* You always get to keep your original ticket and use it on another flight. If you choose to make your own arrangements, you can request an "involuntary refund" for the ticket for the flight you were bumped from. The denied boarding compensation is essentially a payment for your inconvenience.
Like all rules, however, there are a few conditions and exceptions:
* To be eligible for compensation, you must have a confirmed reservation. A written confirmation issued by the airline or an authorized agent or reservation service qualifies you in this regard even if the airline can't find your reservation in the computer, as long as you didn't cancel your reservation or miss a reconfirmation deadline.
* You must meet the airline's deadline for buying your ticket. Discount tickets must usually be purchased within a certain number of days after the reservation was made. Other tickets normally have to be picked up no later than 30 minutes before the flight.
In addition to the ticketing deadline, each airline has a check-in deadline, which is the amount of time before scheduled departure that you must present yourself to the airline at the airport. For domestic flights most carriers require you to be at the departure gate between 10 minutes and 30 minutes before scheduled departure, but some deadlines can be an hour or longer. Check-in deadlines on international flights can be as much as three hours before scheduled departure time. Some airlines may simply require you to be at the ticket/baggage counter by this time; most, however, require that you get all the way to the boarding area. If you miss the ticketing or check-in deadline, you may have lost your reservation and your right to compensation if the flight is oversold.
* As noted above, no compensation is due if the airline arranges substitute transportation which is scheduled to arrive at your destination within one hour of your originally scheduled arrival time.
* If the airline must substitute a smaller plane for the one it originally planned to use, the carrier isn't required to pay people who are bumped as a result.In addition, on flights using aircraft with 30 through 60 passenger seats, compensation is not required if you were bumped due to safety-related aircraft weight or balance constraints.
* The rules do not apply to charter flights, or to scheduled flights operated with planes that hold fewer than 30 passengers. They don't apply to international flights inbound to the United States, although some airlines on these routes may follow them voluntarily. Also, if you are flying between two foreign cities-from Paris to Rome, for example-these rules will not apply. The European Community has a rule on bumpings that occur in an EC country; ask the airline for details, or contact DOT.

I have participated in hundreds of formal blessings in my life with the LDS Church - and some of them have been extraordinary.
I love those experiences, even though they don't happen every time I
participate in a blessing. I love the fact that "we" believe in
practices like that, where people get together and pray over someone. I
love the principle that underlies it and the communal faith-joining it
provides. Also, there have been a handful of times over the course of
my life when I really do believe the heavens were opened, so to speak,
and I caught a glimpse of what being a conduit for pure revelation
really means. I really cherish those experiences - but I had to
participate in the mundane many to taste those unforgettable few.
Do formal blessings mean anything more than that - and are they possible elsewhere? Maybe,
maybe not, but, deep down, I don't care all that much. I just appreciate the opportunity - and the fact that the
opportunity is institutionalized in a way that gives me plenty of
chances to be there for the special moments when they occur.
really is a lot of unique beauty in this faith tradition of Mormonism - and the
irony is that the more available we are to experience the beautiful, the more
exposed we will be to the ugly. When we run away from the ugly, we also
are, in a very real sense, rejecting the beautiful and settling for the
Opposition in all things drives some people batty, but I've learned to appreciate the "fullness" of such a journey. Thus, even though I want it eliminated, the ugly is just as important a piece of my faith as is the beautiful - and experiencing the beautiful makes the ugly bearable.

New maritime risk rating system launched
Written by Deborah Ritchie
A new maritime risk rating system has been launched. The International Maritime Risk Rating Agency (IMRRA) was founded with the support of a number of major oil companies in their attempts to unify areas of marine risk assessment and management, making them more transparent and comprehensive. The commercial shipping industry transports more than 90% of the world's cargo, and with this new system, IMRRA believes it can reflect unprecedented transparency in marine risk.
The new site has gone public with its oil tanker risk rating system, employing numerous major industry databases that are then compiled and refined into one field for further analysis and calculations before being assessed against a Risk Criteria Matrix. Key factors related to tanker safety are pinpointed, assessed and assigned numerical weighting values.
London-based IMRRA provides information on almost every tanker vessel currently operating in the oil shipping industry, allowing direct comparison with aggregated data, industry standards and the average risk calculation to provide an accurate overall score of any given vessel's risks.
Five international oil majors support IMRRA including LUKOIL Oil Company, Primorsk Oil Terminal, Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port, Gazprom Neft Trading GmbH, and OTEKO Group (Tamanneftegaz Terminal). These companies have cumulatively shipped over half a billion tons of hydrocarbons per year under the Risk Rating System – with a record of zero spillages and zero accidents.
Chairman of IMRRA, captain Andrey Voloshin said: "Amid growing safety and environmental concerns, effective marine risk management requires a structured, comprehensive and sensible approach to ensure that all industry-related risks have been reduced to appropriate levels.
"Thanks to our diverse knowledge, IMRRA prides itself on providing top level advice to support risk-informed decision making that satisfies the most demanding requirements.
"Our risk rating system is completely unique. We came up with a system based on how risk rating was calculated in the financial market. We created a mathematical model which has never been done before in the industry – you won't find it anywhere else. It's this model that calculates the risk rating, which then goes out to the public in the form of a reliable figure.
"The division of risk factors enables our users to weigh and emphasise the factors that are more significant for the business and identify the key 'driving' factors that are controlling the result."
He added: "Our objective is to establish an industry standard that promotes better global shipping practices, places health and safety and regulatory peace-of-mind at the top of the agenda, while raising environmental expectations.
"The accumulated knowledge of oil majors' and oil terminals' marine experience and risk-based control methods may be effectively applied to other marine sectors such as bulk and container shipping. We see great future potential in the development of this significant store of data."
