One of the nuggets of information found in CIO.com's annual State of the CIO Survey, which I blogged about last month, is that 41 percent of CIOs report to the CEO, which has long been seen as a sign of the relative importance of the role technology plays at a given company.
A Society for Information Management survey puts the number of CIOs reporting to CEOs far lower -- at 31 percent, down from 45 percent in 2006. At the same time, according to a CIO Insight article, the number of CIOs reporting to CFOs grew from 25 percent in 2006 to nearly 30 percent in 2007.
Though the actual numbers are a bit fluid, both the CIO.com survey and the CIO Insight piece point to an executive role very much in transition. How this will ultimately affect CIOs remains to be seen.
The job of maintaining existing tech systems, largely an exercise in cost control, increasingly falls under the purview of finance officers, say several experts interviewed by CIO Insight. Because technology is no longer the "big mystery" that it once was, finance executives are fairly comfortable with this kind of oversight.
Says Steve Player, president of the consultancy Player Group and North American director of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table:
... a vast amount of the typical IT budget is not subject to discretion. If 60 percent or more of the budget is locked in to keeping the phone system and the backbone up, then it should be under the CFO.
Another factor that appears to be bringing IT and finance closer together, notes the article, is the growing role of technology in helping companies satisfy their requirements for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other regulatory mandates.
So with some of the "boring stuff" being removed from their plates, CIOs are free to concentrate on more visionary initiatives, right? Not exactly. Instead, says CIO Insight, business units themselves increasingly call the tech shots. I blogged aboutthis trend in November, citing Forrester Research showing that 25 percent of non-IT executives select their own tech tools and negotiate directly with tech vendors.
Ian Campbell, president of Nucleus Research, tells CIO Insight that under this new scenario, a sales executive might create a short list of desired features for a CRM system and take it to the CFO for approval, before the project moves to IT for implementation.
Campbell's take is echoed by Rajiv Banker, a professor of accounting and IT at Temple University's Fox School of Business, who spoke to CIO Insight ina separate Q&A. Banker says:
Very often, (the CIO's) strategic role is supportive. For example, for companies with market-based strategies, aiming to deliver to customers, the strategy will perhaps be driven more by the marketing organization. IT will then follow up to make sure that strategy is delivered.
The concern here, of course, is that the CIO starts to seem superfluous -- at least to some companies. Back in August, I blogged about two British retail chains where CFOs assumed what had been CIO duties.
Taken together, the gist of the CIO Insight articles appears to be that IT's role will become responsible for implementing business strategies rather than creating or maintaining them. If that's true, maybe an entirely new reporting hierarchy is in order, one in which the CIO reports to the business executive who manages the division(s) most closely aligned with a company's strategy.
I found a May 2006 eWEEK article that offers an idea of how this might work. According to the article, the CIO of retail chain Ann Taylor reports to the supply chain officer. While unconventional, it hopefully encourages a tight connection between IT and the supply chain, a goal that makes sense at a company where much of its success is determined by how well it can move product.

Avison Young Picks Pittsburgh For U.S. Office No. 15
- Jun 19, 2012
There appears to be no end in sight to Toronto, Ont.-based Avison Young's growth spurt in the U.S. Canada's largest independent commercial real estate services company just opened its first office in Pittsburgh, Pa., marking the debut of its 15th location in the U.S.
Since embarking on its expansion plan three years ago, Avison Young has been moving full steam ahead. It's been a busy year for the firm, which has set up shop in several primary and secondary markets across the country. Within the last three months alone, new office have sprouted up in San Francisco; New York City; Charleston, S.C.; Reno, Nev.; Bethesda, Md., in suburban Washington, D.C. And with six more months left in the year, there is more to come.
"I think you're going to see at least another two East Coast office pretty shortly, and then the last city that's on our agenda is Denver, between now and the end of the year," Mark E. Rose, chair and CEO of Avison Young, told Commercial Property Executive. "We're working on several acquisitions of offices right now. We're just really busy; we're taking up appropriately the right amount of time and there will be a number of announcements between now and end of summer."
Leading of Avison Young's new Pittsburgh team is George "Duke" Kingsley, who will hold the titles of managing director and principal. Kingsley, an industry player for nearly the last 40 years, comes to the firm from Grubb & Ellis Co., where he served as senior vice president. He will be assisted in his efforts to penetrate the Pittsburgh-area market by principals Bradley Totten and James Kelly. It's a veritable Grubb & Ellis reunion; like Kingsley, Totten and Kelly both hail from the firm that is newly part of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. They bring to the table a respective 28 and 35 years of experience.

In the market to purchase a residential property? We recently spoke with Kevin A. Crichton, President and COO of E Mortgage Management LLC (emmloans.com) a privately held, direct-endorsed nationwide lender, who offered a briefing on home affordability in today's purchase environment.
Cherry Hill, nj, July 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Kevin Crichton of E Mortgage Management discussed housing affordability and low-down payment program options. Crichton, said: "Housing affordability is a critical factor for all residential homebuyers, especially in today's economic environment. If you are in the market, do your homework. Take the time to educate yourself in home affordability and especially in low down payment program options that might be available in your local demographic".
Crichton continued: "At the very least, I suggest a crash course on the essential elements of home-buying using easy research tools readily available online from RealtyTrac® the nation's leading source for comprehensive housing data, and DownPaymentResource.com. These sites offer a plethora of information, addressing key factors buyers need to consider when in the market for a home such as: affordability, median income, median home price and homeownership program options".
Low down payment programs are plentiful- however, awareness about these programs is typically not. Buying a home is thrilling, exciting, scary and awe-inspiring. It is for most, the single largest transaction one makes in a lifetime. Having the right people who provide an educational experience throughout the home-buying process makes for a less stressful, easier and more convenient process during the buyer's journey.
Crichton said. "We strongly believe in the importance of educating the consumer while helping them successfully navigate the home-buying process.
Spring is typically a busy time for real estate transactions. According to Realtor.org 45% of properties were on the market for less than a month in May of 2015. However, let's not discount the summer season, where homebuyers can benefit from less competition in finding their dream home. So what exactly does this mean? Now is a great time to buy!
"That's where we can help", Crichton said. "We strongly believe in the importance of educating the consumer while helping them successfully navigate the home-buying process. We suggest every buyer do research prior to any transaction and we point them to the resources we believe can provide the necessary learning tools about housing affordability and low down payment program opportunities available in the counties they are looking to purchase in". Crichton stressed, "The data we found during our research demonstrates that low down payment borrowers can find affordable housing and good accessibility to down payment help in a wide variety of markets nationwide. However, keep in mind that within many major metro areas, the most affordable and accessible markets for low down payment buyers are often those furthest from jobs and other amenities that many buyers seek".
"Each client we serve presents a new opportunity to build on our reputation in providing a high level of quality in customer service paired with years of expertise in mortgage lending- emmloans.com remains focused on helping borrowers first", Crichton emphasized. "We provide the right information, educational resources, tools and home loan options that best suit their unique needs".

Movie review: Dreamy undead in 'Twilight'
movie review
"Twilight" will probably be a huge disappointment to those expecting a horror film, a lot of good special effects, a kinky, sexual vampire picture or any combination of the above. More time during this movie is spent talking about going to the prom than drinking human blood. The climactic battle takes place in a ballet studio.
But for the legion of fans of Stephenie Meyer's book, this entertaining adaptation provides at least three movies worth of teen angst, dreamy good looks and sparkly-skinned vampires (more on that later). Although you may not get sucked into the world of "Twilight" after watching this movie, you will at least understand what all the fuss is about.
"Twilight," for those who didn't nearly get crushed last week during a cast member's publicity-tour stop in San Francisco, is the first in a series of hugely popular books that seem aimed primarily at a teen female demographic. It focuses on a human girl named Bella who falls in love with Edward, a member of a group of teenage-looking vampires living in Washington state. Don't worry, Pacific Northwesterners: These awkward-acting but benevolent vampires have trained themselves to drink animal blood.
Themes range from a mysterious pattern of killings to who's going to wear what dress to the aforementioned big dance. Will a second group of human blood-swilling vampires strike Bella and her family? Will Bella's friend Angela get enough guts to ask nerdy Eric out on a date?
"Twilight" was filmed with a small budget, which may have been the best thing for the project. Catherine Hardwicke, director of the underrated "Lords of Dogtown," has a knack for making her young actors seem unpolished and real, even when the events from the book and even the dialogue are inherently ridiculous. This courtesy extends to the adults in the movie, who are rarely dumb, naive or mean. Bella's town sheriff dad, Charlie (Billy Burke), is a pleasant cross between Harry Dean Stanton in "Pretty in Pink" and Andy Griffith.
Although this film will seem bloated to newcomers, and the plot kicks into gear slowly, "Twilight" never has the rushed or stilted feel of a 500-page book that's been adapted into a two-hour film. Small things seem to be missing, but considering the number of characters introduced and themes that are explored, it's a credit to Hardwicke and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg that the movie remains coherent throughout.
The production also benefits from two good leads: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, as Bella and Edward. Pattinson in particular is convincing as a 100-year-old vampire stuck in a "Groundhog Day"-style existence that has him going to high school after high school, surrounded by a supermarket full of the young blood he craves but cannot eat.
"Twilight" has its Jason Patric and Jami Gertz, but it needs a Kiefer Sutherland. The bad guys are an afterthought in this movie, and when they show up they're only slightly more menacing than a class bully. The special effects are also borderline ridiculous - particularly when the vampires are either running super-fast (you'll want to fill in your own "Six Million Dollar Man" sound effects) or exposed to the sun.
Which brings us to the sparkling, a phenomenon that causes light-stricken vampires to suddenly look as if they've had a horrible accident involving a glitter truck and an angry mob armed with Bedazzlers. What may have seemed cool in the book looks like a human disco ball onscreen.
Still, it's very easy to forgive the dopey parts of this drama, especially if you're a parent whose teen daughter will be among the screaming pack of "Twilight" fans who will see this movie five times during the first weekend alone. "Twilight" has a few gory plot turns - mostly offscreen - and one near-sex scene that may offend a few Amish people, but the rest is maybe 33 percent less wholesome than "High School Musical." It's almost certainly less risque than what you were watching when you were 14. (Cue the soundtrack to "Risky Business.")
One more small note, which is very important for the future of our economy: Several characters in this film have George Michael's gravity-defying bird's-nest hair from the Wham "Make It Big" sessions, which looks only slightly less ridiculous now than it did in 1984. Invest any spare cash you have in companies that deal in hair gel. I have a feeling this film is going to be huge.
-- Advisory:This movie contains some violence and sensuality. This material also attracts packs of girls with extremely high-pitched voices, who will scream every time their favorite character comes onscreen. Bring earplugs, or at least sit at least six rows away from anyone female between the ages of 12 and 15.
Twilight: Romantic horror drama. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Billy Burke. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke. (PG-13. 122 minutes. At Bay Area theaters. To see complete movie listings and show times, and to buy tickets for select theaters, go to sfgate.com/movies.)

a whole lot of goodness
wow. i have had an amazing week, and it is only wednesday! on monday i went over to karin's house for craft day with mary jane butters of mary jane's farm. it was amazing. i met some wonderful ladies and i gained some invaluable crafting knowledge. this is a picture of me with mary jane, her daughter, meg, and meg's daugther, stella. there are some more pictures of our fun posted over at karin's here and here. so, the first thing i learned was how to make a rag rug. which meant i also learned how to crochet. you can't beat learning two things at one time, especially learning them from mary jane!
next, it was on to tatting. i love to find old pillow cases with tatting on the edges. but now, i can do it myself. (however, that doesn't mean that i will cease to buy the old ones!)
i tried to get a close up of the tatting, but the lighting here was not cooperating, so it just kept coming out blurry. sorry.
some of the other girls brought goodies for everyone at the gathering (thanks jess, kathie and jeannie!). here is the loot...
and if that wasn't enough, last night i received my package that i won from samantha. thank you so much! i got to get to knitting!
i have more fun stuff to post this week. but you will have to wait...

Amy- I love that picture of you MaryJane and Meg!! You all look so cute!
How big is your rug? I still do not have strips made. :( But I did pull out some sheets today to start making one. Have to finish the tatting first before I move on.
It was so nice to finally meet you!I really loved having all of you here. It's a bit sad here now that the excitement of the day has worn off. So, we have to do this again!

sounds like so much fun! I am looking forward to going to Amy Karol's (Angry Chicken) booksigning party for Bend the Rules Sewing in November at Bolt Fabric Boutique in Portland OR. It's so much fun to get together with like-minded people. Especially those you have admired from afar via blogland.
- October 10, 2007 at 2:16 PM
There you are! I miss your face :(
So, are we going to restart the knitting club or what? Just knocked the dust off my unfinished project last week.

- 1 Protocols
- 1.1 Cell Count v Optical Density Curve Calibration
- 1.3 Preparation of XL1-Blue Electrocompetent cells
- 1.4 Protocol X
Here will be placed any finished or currently worked on protocols until they are deemed of a high enough standard to be put on the Imperial iGEM 08 wetware wiki.
Cell Count v Optical Density Curve Calibration
To produce a calibration curve to aid in the normalising of fluorescence values to allow proper characterisation of Promoters and RBSs for B.subitlis. This protocol must give results that are as accurate as possible over a considerable range of Optical Densities.
P20, P200 and P1000 Gilsons
50mL flask (an additional one for each repeat)
LB Medium LB Agar plates (x )
1. Grow up a culture of B.subtilis overnight
2. Prepare a 50mL flask of LB medium, adding the required antibiotics and take 1mL to use as a blank
2. Pipette 500μL into the 50mL of LB medium and mix thoroughly
3. Immediately take 1mL of the new culture and measure the OD against the blank
This protocol is desgined for use with the stratagene PfuUltra II Fusion DNA polymerase and is according to the DNA polymerase usage manual. PfuUltra II Fusion Manual
To produce clones of two genes from B.subtilis that are too big to have synthesised by GeneArt; for use as integration sequences (AmyE and PyrT) or for their original purpose (XylR).
Heated lid PCR machine
Thin walled PCR tube
|Distilled H2O
|10Χ PfuUltra®II reaction buffer
|dNTP mix (12.5mM each dNTP)
|B.subtilis genomic DNA (50ng/μL)
|Forward Primer (5μM)
|Reverse Primer (5μM)
|PfuUltra® II fusion HS DNA polymerase
|Total Reaction Volume
Note. Template DNA should be diluted to 100ng/μL. If template DNA concentration is below 100ng/μL, 50ng of DNA should be added and the volume of H2O to be added should adjusted to maintain a reaction volume of 25μL
The forward and reverse primers should contain the Biobrick prefix (forward primer) and the complementary sequence to the Biobrick suffix (reverse primer) 5' of the beginning of the annealing sequence
Add all the reagents in order (down the list) sequentially to the PCR tube mxing after each addition. Place PCR tubes into th ePCR machine and set the programme to the following set-up:
|Initial Denaturation:
|2 minutes at 95°C
|30 Cycles of:
|20 second denaturation at 95°C
|20 second annealing time at Primer Tm - 5°C
|15 second extending time at 72°C
|Final Extension:
|3 minutes at 72°C
The resulting solution can then be purified using a PCR purification column or by gel electrophoresis followed by spin purification.
Preparation of XL1-Blue Electrocompetent cells
Prepaeration of E.coli cells for cloning of Biobricks and construct construction
Sterile Centrifugation bottles
50mL Tubes
Large Flasks
Eppendorf Tubes
1 Litre of LB medium (and appropriate antibiotics)
1-2 Litres of autoclaved and chilled ddH2O
10% glycerol in ddH2O, autoclaved and chilled
Dry ice bath
Keep Everything Cold where possible
Set aside an afternoon for this, starting the culture in the morning
Check the culture while growing frequently
- Grow up a culture of E.coli XL1-blue cells overnight
- Add 20mL of overnight culture to 1 Litre of LB medium (containing appropriate antibiotic)
- Grow cells while mixing at at least 225rpm until the culture reaches an OD600nm of 0.5-0.6 (1.6-1.9×108cells/mL)
- Test OD immediately after innoculating the Litre flask.
- First doubling may take 1 hour but doublings after that should be very 20-30 mins, so check often!
- When OD is 0.5-0.6, transfer the culture to 2 sterile 500mL centrifugation bottles and cool on ice for a few minutes
- Pellet cells in a centrifuge at 4000×g for 15 mins
- Quickly but carefully pour off the supernatant then carefully resuspend the cells in 10mL of ice cold ddH2O
- Fill both tubes to about 350mL with ice cold ddH2O
- Make sure the pellet is fully resuspended!
- Repellet the cells (as before) and again discard the supernatant
- Resuspend cells again in 10mL of ddH2O, then fill both tubes up to about 150mL with ice cold ddH2O
- Repellet the cells (as before)
- While repelleting, fill the dry ice bath and set up eppendorf tubes (approximately 50) in a rack in the dry ice bath
- Pour off the supernatant and resuspend the cells in 20mL of 10% glycerol (resuspend one pellet then transfer the solution to the other bottle and resuspend the second pellet)
- Transfer the cells and glycerol solution to a sterile 50mL centrifuge tube and pellet for 15 mins at 4000×g
- Pour off supernatant and resuspend pellet in 2mL of 10% glycerol
- Pipette 50μL aliquots into the eppendorfs in the dry ice bath
- Feeze on dry ice
- Depending on pipetting accuracy, between 50 and 60 aliquots should be made
- using a repeating pipetter makes this proces much faster and reduces risk of contamination
- Store at -70°C

Bone: Uses Wrist Grab. 2003. Cuneiform Records: rune 176.
Nick Didkovsky: guitar
Hugh Hopper: bass
John Roulat: drums
Remote multi-tracking (Didkovsky and Hopper still had not shared the physical proximity of playing with one another at the time of this release) that reconciles a brainiac restlessness with a hard edge. The collaborative sound that ultimately emerges from Uses Wrist Grab is an updated take on progressive rock impulse. And it's one that absolutely requires taking the whole thing in in one sitting. Perhaps a couple of times through just to get the ears acquainted with the jagged edges and sharp corners of these compositions. It says something that hearing such rigorous composition that rocks this hard is so disorienting. Plenty of guitar front and center in this one.
Cristian Amigo: Kingdom of Jones. 2007. Innova: 671.
Cristian Amigo: composer, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, lap steel, prepared tiple, pianos, synthesizers, beats, loops, processes, programming, soda cans, miscellaneous percussion, soundscapes, voice, lyrics
Izzi Ramkissoon: bass, laptop, processes

Wojciech Kosma: samples
Philip Blackburn: samples
Jeff Schwartz: upright bass
David Martinelli: drums
Andy Connell: clarinet
Robert Reigle: alto saxophone
Jonathan Grasse: electric guitar
Manoocher Sadeghi: santur
Nikos Brisco: guitar, Tibetan prayer bowl
Guitar is occasionally front and center in this one. Or off to the side or completely submerged beneath the wide ranging stylistic textures Cristian Amigo is willing to fashion. When the acoustic guitar comes to the foreground for the "Guitar Gestures" pieces one is treated to the mad chops of this sound artist when focused upon his instrument. These are embedded within a larger frame of sounds that embrace dance even as grooves come and go fleetingly at times. At each turn the sonic space is thoughtfully devised as it steers well clear of predictable turns. A sonic language without borders that carves out its own sense of form. And a thoughtful creative voice clearly operating beneath all of it.
Killick Erik Hinds/Dennis Palmer/Bob Stagner: A.S.A.P. Wings. 2007. Solponticello: SP-019/SRR CD-005.
Killick Erik Hinds: h'arpeggione
Dennis Palmer: synthesizers, drum samples, moogerfoogers
Bob Stagner: drums, found objects
This trio marks an incarnation - and recorded documentation - of the Shaking Levis collective. Which pulls together improbable strains of American sounds to arrive at a folksy free improvisation. The raw materials of sound folded into an inviting concoction that compromises neither the challenging quality of experimental music or the approachability of roots-based music. In short, these guys are having fun and it sounds like it.

It has long been known that resveratrol, a chemical found naturally in plant products including red wine, can prolong the lifespan and mimic the effects of a low-calorie diet.
But it was previously unclear exactly how resveratrol causes the boost of energy in our cells that provide this health benefit.
Now a team of researchers has shown it works by tricking the cell into thinking it is deprived of energy, causing it to increase production of energy-producing proteins.
The discovery could lead to new treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's, heart disease and diabetes either using resveratrol or stronger agents which work in the same way, US researchers said in a study published in the Cell journal.
Dr Andrew Murray, of Cambridge University, who was not involved in the study, said: "Although you can get resveratrol from red wine, you would need to drink about 700 bottles to get a meaningful dose.
"This study is important because the effects of resveratrol on the cell were identified, so that more potent drugs could be developed to mimic its effects."

As I said before, this class is magic.
I think we must have this as a standard class
every two months.
On Saturday Nicolette, Else, Marlene,
Michelle and Marlene had great fun.
These tiny, tiny baby tekkies were gorgeous!
Decorated with Beatrix Potter pictures, everyone
wanted to have them and they were the hit of the day.
The music notes were popular and as you can see,
most of the girls used them.
Using a black and white serviette can also be very effective.
This can be combined with a little bit of gold and silver paint
for extra interest.
To colour the shoe laces, I sprayed each pair with some water and then
sprayed the Sun paint onto the laces.
By squeezing the paint into the laces, you use less paint and
your drying time is much shorter.
A contrast colour for the laces looks stunning......
But as you can see, the same colour also is a perfect match!
The next class ia a Recipe Book at Sweet Scrappins.
Thanks for visiting!

"Vodun practitioners worship a pantheon of gods and lesser deities that inhabit objects ranging from stones to waterfalls."Here's a short video made of moving images and stills by photographer Frederic Vanwalleghem made in Ouidah (Benin)of the ancient belief system of vodun.
Despite concerted efforts of Christian missionaries, this ancient belief system still has millions of adherents along West Africa's former Slave Coast, from Ghana to parts of Nigeria, and especially in Benin. In 1996, Benin's democratic government officially decreed vodun a religion, and ever since, thousands have openly practiced it. It's estimated that 20 percent of the population of Benin, or about a million people, practice pure vodun.
The belief system is called vodun in Benin, vodou or voodoo in Haiti and vudu in the Dominican Republic.
Frederic Vanwalleghem is a Belgian photographer; deeply interested in African religious traditions, and especially in vodun, a topic he has researched for years. He became interested in vodun when he first traveled to Cuba and discovered santeria, the Afro-Cuban religious tradition, and was subsequently introduced its secret ceremonies in Trinidad. Later, he traveled to Nigeria and Benin, to look for the roots of diasporic traditions like santeria, condomble and vodun.
An interesting article on vodun was recently featured in The New York Times, and a full interview with Frederic Vanwalleghem was featured in The Leica Camera Blog.

Our Projects
At ARG, we believe that "We must be the change we want to see in the world." To that end, a core component of our work is to develop & promote projects for the social good.
Portland Local Food.com
Portland Local Food.com is a "one stop" online guide to finding local & organic food in/around Portland, Oregon.
The rationale for Portland Local Food.com is that the more convenient it is for people to find and purchase safe, healthful, local food, the more likely they will do so. Conversely, the more difficult it is to locate and the more hassle it is to get, the more likely we all are to opt for what's fast, easy and convenient.
By bringing together as many local food resources as possible on one site and organizing them geographically, the Andlers' goal is to make it easier for Portland-area residents to make healthful, local food choices.
Launched in late 2011, the purpose of VillagePDX is to help jump start the process of creating multiple aging-in-place "villages" in Portland, Oregon, by using the Internet to identify and connect potential "village founders" and surveying prospective "village members" about what they would want from a village serving their neighborhood.
It is also intended to:
- Help neighbors in other parts of the city connect with each other and begin the process of envisioning the villages they would like to found.
- Develop a resource website for Portland "villages-in- development" which brings together village-related quotes, articles, videos, links & blogs, as well as a survey for assessing potential members' needs & interests.
- Provide a place for all the Portland Villages (which will someday exist) to share inspiration, tools, resources, marketing collaterals, bylaws, organizational designs, provider referrals, and the stories of their successes & challenges along the way.
Our Blogs
We have recently launched two blogs to complement each of our project websites
The Local Omnivore
The companion blog for Portland Local Food.com, The Local Omnivore is a vehicle for sharing information about food policy, food resources, and the merits and challenges of growing local, buying local, and eating local.
Independently Aging…….with friends!
The companion blog for VillagePDX.org, Independently Aging provides Chana (the principal blogger) with the opportunity to reflect on the aging options currently available, and to champion better alternatives—whatever and wherever those may be.

Of historic tractors, fire engines, and a classically dressed firefighter!
There were several historic tractors that were being shown in the town during the 650 Anniversary celebration, many of which were later in the parade through the town. Here, too, are some of the historic fire engines from Plastovice. The one from 1925 was later started and used to actually put out a demonstration fire down on the main field in an event later (see later posting).
Our friend Marek was one of the firefighters who rode the historic engine in the parade and later started it up and put out the fire! It was a wonderful thing to watch...

Cat has had a life-changing concussion. She has lingering headaches, trouble focusing, and dizziness. She is unable to do many of the outdoor activities that she has loved her whole life. When she and her mother learn about a cutting edge brain-injury center in the Florida Everglades, they jump at the chance to send her. Cat is nervous for her mom to leave her, but she really wants to get better. When she arrives, she meets three other kids her age who are also being treated for similar brain injuries. Things look great at the start, state of the art labs, two smart doctors, kids who say they feel better already. But Cat is observant. She notices everything. She starts to get a funny feeling when she learns about two other kids who are supposedly there, but she never sees them. She overhears the doctors talking about the DNA of dead scientists and a girl who isn't getting better. Cat knows something is up and has to convince the others that things might not be what they seem.
Just like Eye of the Storm, this book is fast-paced and exciting. I read it in one sitting and was sad for it to end. Kate Messner does a fabulous job researching her books...this book taught me about the science of brain injury and also a lot about the Florida Everglades. I hope she has some more of these sci-fi type novels to come!
This books comes out on September 10th! I can't wait to get a copy for my classroom!
Here are some other Kate Messer books I love:
Capture the Flag
Over and Under the Snow
Marty McGuire
Real Revision
Have you read Wake Up Missing? I'd love to hear what you think!

When it rains, it pour with the gale forces of a so'wester off the Barbary Coast! Another post comes your way, Hornies! In the wake of the news so recently posted on this site, esteemed actor Iaon Gruffudd has cast doubts on the ability of young Shia LaBeouf to accurately capture the essence of Hornblower. True Hornies will remember Gruffudd for his role as young Horatio in the regrettably short-lived A&E miniseries Horatio Hornblower. If you are as interested in comic books as I am (and I suspect that you are), you will also know him as Mr. Fantastic himself, Dr. Reed Richards!
Sire Gruffudd is doubly miffed becasue the producers of Hornblower have asked him to appear in the film...but in the minor role of Jackson the irritable coxswain, rather than his accustomed part as the fresh-faced Horatio! The pistols are charged, the steps are paced, and the duel is about to commence! I put the question you : who is the better man to grasp the sword of Hornblower, a veteran Blower like Guffudd, or a fresh-faced up-and-comer like LaBeouf? Keep your responses flowing like rum in the Virgin Isles, my Horned friends!

Join Todd Dewett for an in-depth discussion in this video Elements of effective goals, part of Managing Teams (2013).
Likely the most important part of the goal setting process is actually defining …great goals. The most famous and I think the most …useful approach to crafty goals is to use SMART Goals. …This stands for Specific, Measurable, Aligned, Reachable and Time-bound. …Let's briefly consider each element. S is for specific. …Great goals are not vague, unclear or otherwise ambiguous. …They strive to be very concrete. For example, instead of telling an …employee they could provide better customer service, you might set a goal to …increase customer satisfaction survey results by 10% over the next two quarters.…
The more specific the goal, the more useful the goal. …Next, M is for measurable. It has often been said if you can't …measure it, you can't manage it, and that's true. …We don't monitor goals through intuition. Measures matter. …But as noted a moment ago, be sure to use a small number of measures to capture any …truly needed information. The idea is to track progress, but at the …same time, we must be careful to not create an unnecessarily huge measurement burden.…

SOURCE: Frost & Sullivan
March 23, 2011 01:30 ET
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2011) - Convergence presents opportunities for overcoming declining revenues of voice only services and promoting usage of broadband data services, where the current focus is on investments. Convergence turns networks into customer-centric services-oriented platforms that promote subscriber retention and revenue growth.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.wireless.frost.com), Sub Saharan African Network Convergence Market, finds that the market had 19.12 million dual play subscribers in 2009 and estimates this to reach 161.02 million in 2016.
Declining voice revenues due to price differentiation are pushing investments into broadband data services. This will promote convergence.
"The demand for converged services will grow in all market segments and will be driven by increasing broadband penetration," notes Frost & Sullivan ICT Senior Research Analyst Dr. Vitalis G. Ozianyi. "Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are investing in broadband data services to create new revenue sources to overcome declining voice average revenue per user (ARPUs)."
Broadband will support new services like TV and Web services that will be effectively marketed as converged products rather than individual services. These products will foster CSP competitiveness based on service differentiation.
Lack of concrete business models to support the adoption of convergence is likely to slow down the migration to converged network platforms. CSPs in the region depend on mobile voice revenues and prefer to introduce independent services that will not influence income from voice.
"The lack of proven successful converged networks and services business models for the SSA market means that independent service offerings are preferred by CSPs," remarks Ozianyi. "Broadband data services are being introduced as separate subscriptions from voice; the same trend is expected for video services like mobile TV."
The motivation to migrate to IMS service control platforms for converged IP networks is hindered by the lack of business models that will ensure continued offering of niche services. This is true especially for circuit switched voice and SMS.
Gradual adoption of convergence will enable operators to seamlessly offer niche services and benefit from offering of new services bundled in enriched products to gain a competitive advantage in the market.
CSPs need to take advantage of convergence to prepare their networks for subscriber demand for rich multimedia services that will overtake the demand for current niche products for both business and consumer segments.
"They should ensure that investments in network infrastructure go towards build capacity for subscriber and service management, and data transport," concludes Ozianyi. "This will position the networks appropriately for evolution to next generation networks (NGN)."
Sub Saharan African Network Convergence Market is part of the Mobile & Wireless Growth Partnership Services programme, which also includes research on the following markets: West African, East African and Southern African markets. All research included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

After my pathetic rant about a listless New Years, and after a good 2-3 inches of snow fell here in the east, I thought the only way to excite myself for warmer - at least more sunny - weather is to talk about all the things that remind me of spring. And first on this list of top 5 - Florence + the Machine.
I discovered Florence last Spring -- about 6 months after everyone else as I do with most things -- and since then have had her albums on my go-to playlists; Howl is my top played itunes song with 160 plays, just in case you're wondering. There's just something about Lungs that I can't get out of my head. The songs embody spring with rose colored glasses; or they just reminded me of the California sun in a 1970's picture.
While I haven't found as deep a devotion for her new album Ceremonials as of yet, I blame that on having no time to listen to it, and even less time to blast it in the car. Unfortunately (but completely okay with me), this means all my song choices and recommendations are from Lungs.If you want to listen to the songs featured, you can hear them over here.
Listen to Raise it Up if - Every time I hear Rise it Up I think Greek mythology and early morning sunlight. It's normally my go-to first song in the car on the morning drive.
Listen to Howl if - Do you have a warewolf thing? Then this is your song. Trust me, vampires don't have an anthem like this, and they never will. And the reference to classic Wolfman? Priceless.
Listen to Drumming song if - Borgias fans - this is your song. More specifically, Cesare and Lucrezia OTPers I dare you to listen and not have an entire plot line develop in front of you. Go on. I dared you. I'll wait till you're done. ... ... ... I was right, wasn't I?
Listen to Cosmic Love/Binding if - These are completely meant to be apart of the 'Once Upon A Time' inspired-by soundtrack. Just saying. These two certainly rival each other to be my favorite Florence song and often, I simply refuse to pick my favorite.
Listen to My Boy Builds Coffins/I'm Not Calling You a Liar if - You know that saying "Sweet; creepy, but sweet"? They were talking about these songs. Indulge your slightly morbid song tendencies with these two selections. They really are sweet...creepy, but sweet.
"I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you're being sucked down into the ocean and you can't breathe,...It's something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you're either going to explode with it, or you're just going to disappear." -Florence Welch

As reported, Prostitutes in Lusaka's Kanyama, John Laing, Chawama and Kalingalinga compounds last night offered themselves free of charge to every Jim and Jack as part of their celebration after Zambia beat Ghana 1-0.A check by The Independent Post (TIP) at nightclubs such as Kanyama's Kanchembele and Chine Chikayeba found long queues of men waiting to have sex with a limited number of prostitutes.
A single prostitute served nearly 11 men and there were more than 200 men wanting to celebrate Zambia's first qualification to the Africa Cup final since 1994 in style.
The situation was the same at John Laing's Corogo night Club which is situated just opposite John Laing Basic School. But at Corogo, a man in his mid twenties was beaten up after he took long to attain orgasm when his turn to have sex with the prostitute came.
"Yes, we beat him up because he took too long to ejaculate. We were too many of us on line and the guy kept on wasting time on top of the prostitute," said an eye-witness, identified only as James.
And in Chawama as well as Kalingalinga, TIP correspondents say only a handful of prostitutes were made to serve tens of Chipolopolo fans.
But another soccer fan who claims not have taken part in the 'mass servicing' of prostitutes said the development was unfortunate. Mike Tembo suspected that many young people might have contracted the HIV virus and other STIs during the 'sexual celebration. '
"I think when Zambia plays the final, free condoms need to be provided so that we can protect our young men. Many of them had sex with the prostitutes without condoms," Tembo said.
Zambia's win over Ghana sent the whole Zambia into wild celebration. Soccer fans celebrated the win in all manner of ways. Fortunately, no deaths were recorded at the time this story was published.
Coach Herve Renard said that he was happy that Zambia has told the world through the beating of the Black stars that Ghana are still toddlers.
"We've won and I am very happy. At least we've shown the world that Ghana are toddlers," Renard said.
He added that Zambia will now be aiming at beating Ivory Coast on February 12.
Ghana paid the penalty as Asamoah Gyan saw a penalty saved before Zambia scored with their only attack of the second half in a 1-0 win in their African Cup of Nations semi-final in a sodden Bata.
Zambia substitute Emmanuel Mayuka completed a smash-and-grab victory for the Chipolopolo boys as he tucked the ball beyond Ghana keeper Adam Kwarasey from 22 yards on 79 minutes to complete a miserable day for the 2010 World Cup quarter-finalists.
Zambia will return to the Gabon capital of Libreville for the final, 19 years after the fallen heroes were tragically wiped out when a plane crashed heading towards Dakar for a World Cup qualifier with Senegal in 1993.
Under coach Herve Renard, Zambia is certainly physically strong enough to provide a stern test for Ivory Coast.In any case, the society should be aware that indecent activities such as prostitution is not supposed to be celebrated and understand that AIDS is real. Source: myjoyonline.

Contraception and Protestantism
1) If contraception has been banned since the beginning of Christendom and soundly condemned by the reformers Calvin and Luther, why has it become permissible after 1930 when the Anglican's voted to allow it in "special circumstances only?" Can a majority vote make something not a sin?
2) Using the bible alone, can you come up with a reason why you can contracept when 1900 years of Christianity forbade its use?
3) If Dr. Moehler, head of the Southern Baptists says that the contraceptive mentality is evil, why does your church/denomination encourage contraception? My issue here is not to harp on contraception but to point out the danger that is inherent in a theology based on the personal interpretation of the bible. As an aside- Do some Catholics contracept? Yes, many do, but that doesn't and won't ever change the teaching of the Church regarding contraception. In Protestantism, every denomination changed their view of contraception to accommodate the changing mores of society. Despite bad bishops, liberal priests, errant theologians, the teachings of the Church cannot and will not ever change.

Caring for your dental veneers
If you recently had new dental veneers applied, you should be beaming with pride over how beautiful your new smile looks. Your new teeth should now look pristine and perfectly sculpted. However, like most good investments, proper maintenance is central to maximizing your long-term returns. Even as the dental restoration is working wonders for you – and I'm sure earning heaps of praise while at it – you would need to take good care of them to make sure that your veneered teeth retain its bright and healthy state for the long haul.
The good news is, your dental veneers are not only stain resistant they are built to last for many years. It doesn't mean, however, that you don't need to maintain an active oral hygiene regime – which includes daily at-home routines like brushing and flossing as well as a minimum of twice yearly regular checks for professional cleans. If that sounds familiar, it's because the key to looking after your veneered teeth is to treat them like you would your own natural teeth.
Dental veneers are thin shells of tooth coverings that are held in place with a special bonding agent – that adheres them to your existing teeth structure to hide your dental flaws. It is therefore important that you allow some time – about a week or so – for the bonding effect to set in. During this period, you should avoid hard chews as well as foods and beverages that are too hot or cold. You should continue to brush and floss as you would with your natural teeth. The same dental problems that affect your natural teeth – like plaque and bacterial build-up leading to tooth decays and gum diseases – can occur with your veneered teeth as well. It is also a good idea to visit a dentist every six months to make sure that your veneers remain intact and are not loosened or twisted in any way, as such distortions may render the veneers vulnerable to decay.
The two major things you should protect your new veneers from are grinds and stains.
If you suffer from bruxism – that is, you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping – you may ask your cosmetic dentist for a protective mouth guard to be worn before going to bed. If your veneers are made of porcelain, they are very durable compared with those made form composite resins. Nonetheless, excessive pressure like grinding may still cause chipping even with the high-strength porcelain laminates. That is why the protective device is highly recommended for bruxists.
To protect your veneers from stains, it is highly recommended that you use gentle whitening toothpaste with a special formulation that removes stains without any abrasive action. The gentle whitening products also prevent the build up of stain films and plaque on the veneers. Of course, you should also avoid stain-causing substances, foods and beverages to maintain the pristine look of your veneered teeth. Smoking, excessive coffee, tea or wine drinking should be greatly reduced or stopped where possible. These habits will stain your veneers the same way they would the rest of your pearly whites, so kicking them would prove a win-win-situation for you.
Not only are dental veneers a superb aesthetic solution, they look and feel just like your own teeth. If you curious to find out what dental veneers can do to beautify your smile, speak to a dentist at Dentistry@Ballarat.

FAQsWhy do you take an hour for the first exam, when other dentists don't? There are many problems that a patient can present with on their first appointment. Sometimes the health of your teeth and all the structures that surround your teeth are perfect. But we don't know what we will find when we're seeing a patient for the first time. So before we can give you the "all clear" we feel that we have to set aside enough time to explore all your presenting issues (and not just the obvious ones that are quick to spot.) You can rest assured that our standard fee is charged for this comprehensive 1 hour appointment.
Comprehensive Exam Why do I need to see a hygienist? Can't the dentist just clean my teeth? Will they cost more? Hygienists' training is dedicated to caring for gums, whereas dentists cover a much wider field of diagnosis. A narrower, more detailed focus generally means that more problems can be diagnosed at an earlier stage when treatment is easier, cheaper and with a better prognosis
Hygienists usually spend more time with you, thoroughly cleaning your teeth. They also can provide you with advice on how to take really great care of your smile. And, it doesn't cost any more to see a hygienist!
Gum health requires more regular checking than the teeth. The hygienist is an economic way for you to have your teeth cleaned regularly without having to see the dentist every time—similar to seeing your GP when you have the flu, rather than getting an appointment with a specialist surgeon.
Maintaining Healthy Gums I haven't been to a dentist in years & I'm worried about what they might find. At Dentistry @ Ballarat our team understands that fixing dental problems that may have been brewing for years can see the bills mount. That is why we'll make certain that you get a treatment plan that allows you to be aware upfront of indicative costs and time. We also offer GE credit to assist with payment plans so that you can rest assured that you can budget accordingly.
We always focus on preserving teeth as much as possible and practicable. Dental problems compound if left untreated and that generally means the optimal time to start is straightaway. While the prospect of getting a number of procedures to fix your dental problems can be worrying, the best place to start is with a roadmap that will let you know where we need to go.
Services What's the difference between a porcelain filling
and a cheaper one? Porcelain fillings are incredibly strong. A porcelain filling gives the tooth back its strength. Research has shown that the strength of the tooth is restored by porcelain to between 80–100% of its original strength. A usual (composite) filling comes nowhere close to that. Amalgam (silver) fillings are even worse—actually sometime causing teeth to fracture.
Porcelain fillings are more compatible with natural teeth than any basic filling material. Composite wears much faster than enamel and can break down base of the tooth, allowing decay to get into the tooth. No filling carries a 100% guarantee, but porcelain fillings come closer than any other basic filling material.
Cosmetic Dentistry How do our dentists look
aftertheir own teeth? You can read about Dr Ian Harper's personal experience here. Why do I need X-rays?
Do they do me any harm? The fear of X-rays is understandable. However, the dosage of dental X-rays is very low compared to medical X-rays. In fact, X-rays surround us constantly whether we are at the dentist or not, in the form of background radiation, something which is given off by every object. You would need to take nearly 100,000 dental X-rays to equal the dosage of background radiation you experience over an average lifetime. Our digital X-ray system makes them even safer, reducing dosage by 50%.
We cannot always see where decay has managed to enter the tooth. X-rays prevent unnecessary fillings and allow us to do only the fillings that need to be done. Early diagnosis of decay also prevents the need for root-fillings into the future. If it isn't currently broken,
do I need to get it fixed? A "stitch in time saves nine" describes our approach perfectly.
Our teeth have to serve us from when we are 6 to 106, and while the rest of the body can repair itself after being damaged, our teeth depend on us to be fixed.
Sometimes a tooth can be fixed after it has fractured; then again, sometimes the fracture is catastrophic and the only alternative is to extract it. No matter how easily it can be fixed, the prognosis for the tooth is always better if there is more of the tooth left to fix. That implies that the dentist and any assisting team members should use their experience and knowledge to identify those teeth which are heading in the direction of catastrophic failure and advise the patient accordingly.
The same preventive principles also apply to the other two most common causes of tooth loss: decay causing abscess and gum disease.

I DON'T like Spiders! Now, since I've said that, there was a beautiful spider web with 2 spiders on it on my brother's deck steps. I used the flash on my camera to get the web in the picture. The spiders never moved the whole time I was on the deck (THANK GOODNESS).
I have lots from our trip to Texas. I'll probably blog about it for days. I brought home some goodies from the trip.
PS: I mitered the borders on the 'Fat Cats in the City' quilt for Betty the morning we left on the trip. Betty has seen the quilt top and loves it. Now to finish the quilt on the quilt rack so that I can get it quilted.

What are your thoughts about orphans and homeless people? Do you think they should be given a chance or should they just make do with what they have or don't have and strive to be happy with their lot?
We get a lot of criticism for giving brand new items to the orphan Chatanim and Kallot we assist. Many believe an orphan should just make do with what they have and if they don't have, well that is their problem. So we are told, but is this the right way to think? Is this the Torah way?
In the video that follows, you will find the ambition of an orphan who ended up on the streets, through no fault of his own. Listen to his talent and let us know your thoughts. Is he worthy of being given a chance, or should he just strive to make peace with having ended up as a homeless person?
If you agree he is worthy of being given a chance, what would you do to help an orphan? What kinds of assistance would help him to achieve and use his G-d given talent for good.Does it really help the world if he is on the street and no-one gets to hear his beautiful singing?

My Best Shot -- Lake George, New York
Deep summer blues on Lake George: While Molly Kane of Maitland was visiting New York in July, she snapped a picture of Lake George from the outdoor dining area of The Algonquin restaurant in the tiny town of Bolton Landing. Lake George, often referred to as the Queen of American Lakes, stretches 32 miles from Lake George Village north to Ticonderoga and is three miles across at its widest point. The crystal-clear water is dotted with islands of all sizes that accommodate facilities from primitive campsites to the luxurious Sagamore Resort as well as private homes that range from seasonal cabins to mansions. In the foreground is an area of Lake George knows as Huddle Bay. The first land mass visible is Clay Island, and beyond that are the open waters of Lake George. The area is so beautiful that taking incredible scenic pictures is fairly easy:point and shoot, Molly said. The real task is picking the best shot when everywhere you look you are surrounded by beauty!"

Does he even need an introduction?
I'm going to do one anyway. This episode is all about growth with Lee Jackson!
I met Lee about a year ago when he first launched his podcast. We did a great interview and you can check that out here!
Lee is no stranger to growing businesses. He started with a small event agency which he helped grow substantially in a few years.
He later moved on to his own agency Lee Jackson Dev, which is on a continual pace to grow!
From a freelancer to a full-blown agency, Lee isn't slowing down anytime soon.
We chatted about growth strategy, a few do's and don'ts, and had an overall great conversation.
Lee runs a white label development studio for design agencies and is a truly genuine person and I was honored to have him on my podcast.
NOTE: This episode had a few technical difficulties, but we made it through.
Enjoy the show!
I called Lee the Angled King because his new branding will be called Angled Crown. 🙂

I came across this information. Looks like a high level summer rec bball league in Columbia area. Many of our guys are playing in it on various teams as are a number of other local college players and former players. Only 1 game into the season. Looks like there is a link on the homepage to actually watch some of the games.
Notables: Storm Murphy scored 15 pts with 7 assts in first game. Aluma with 9 pts and 6 rbs, Lowery with 9 pts and 5 rbs, Trey Hollowell was 2 for 2 from the 3 for 6 pts.
Good competition. Will only help them develop their games. As best I can tell, no sign of Fletcher or Cam.

I love thinking of unique ways to upgrade something basic and turn it into something custom and special. When it comes to window treatments a small customization can go a long way. I've rounded up some of my favorite ideas to take your window treatments to a whole new level!
1. Another take on the striped curtain is to do it with smaller stripes. I really like how these stripes are spaced far apart and kept really thin. It seems like you could create this look with some Ikea curtains and ribbon.

2. I love the way this roman shade is trimmed. It's a fun idea to keep the valance and the trim the same.
Miles Redd for House Beautiful
3. I think adding a color block to plain white curtains makes them extra dramatic!

4. This idea takes the bottom banded color look to a new level! By adding a thinner separate band it breaks up the bottom color and the white curtains.
5. I am so blow away by this scalloped detail in a contrasting color on these window treatments. If you look closer you can see the scallop was even trimmed out in another color. I love attention to detail like that.

6. Who doesn't love a good grey key trim! You could add it in any color to a pair of white curtains and get a luxe look!
7. This curtain concept is really interesting. It looks like they did a sheer up top and maybe a silk for the rest.
8. I think we've seen that you can add color stripes any which way on curtains and it always looks fabulous! I like this idea of adding the bands of color to the top and bottom.

9. I think the unique shape of these roman shades makes them so beautiful and I love how they are trimmed out in red to add even more drama!

10. Although you don't often see the lining I think it's a fun idea to add a bright color for a little wow factor.
11. We've seen stripes all the way up a panel but this take on the striped curtain is really unique! What a good idea to just do stripes on the lower half of the panels.
image via Lonny
12. A great pattern can really be enhanced by a dramatic color. The red on these shades totally pops off of that floral fabric.
photo via Bijou and Boheme
13. I thought the idea of adding a ruffle hem to the bottom of a curtain panel was genius! How sweet would this be in a nursery.
image via Kate Coughlin Interiors
14. It looks like these sophisticated roman shades got a little dose of fun with a pink ribbon fringe.

The four projects, developed by the four teams, confront a wide variety of economic, environmental, social and cultural issues related to rapid and extensive urbanization in China. Furthermore, they can be said to cover a broad spectrum of urban situations as they describe a crosssection through "urban China" – from its historic center in Xi'an, to the new CBD across the river from the existing downtown in Chongqing, to the postindustrial periphery between the 4th and 5th ring road of Beijing and beyond to the postmodern subcity 30 km outside of Shanghai.

Shadybend Elementary School has received three grants totaling almost $19,000 from the state Department of Education to purchase computers and software for each classroom in the school as well as other equipment for programs that stress the development of critical thinking in the natural and social sciences.
Principal Amy Baumann said the school submitted a proposal for the computer grant and two groups of teachers turned in proposals for grants for teachers to develop innovative educational programs.
One teacher group received funds for additional computers to encourage problem-solving and critical thinking in such areas as biology, chemistry and history, and the other got funds to purchase astronomy kits, weather kits, binoculars and other materials for the study of astronomy.

Hello Ladies!
As some of you may now, I recently moved, so I thought I'd gave you a little peek into my new house. Up now: my kitchen!
The cabins, fire and hood are all from Ikea. The stainless steel backsplash is costum made in a local shop, the freezer is from Bosch. As you can see there are still some little details that need to be fixed. The electric wire hanging on the hood for example is intented for a litle spot, next to the hood I would like two shelves and the light switches still need to get their cover. That being said, I really like how it's all come together. I must say, that cooking has become much more fun since I can do it in the kitchen of my dreams.
What does your dreamkitchen look like?

Hey there readers! Perhaps it's me just getting ready too early, I mean ... it is 1:30 AM. But I just went and made a couple additions to the side navigation. First off is the new "Comics, Etc." section, which as you could probably guess, will be where you can find reviews for comics, graphic novels, manga, and art books.
The other new addition is the "Seal of Approval" button. While the button may be new, the page it leads to is not. It's just, we didn't have a link to the VFH Seal of Approval listings yet, and being that we've awarded a third title with it, I felt it was time it got its own representation. You may also notice it has a different font than the other options, that's because it matches the font of the award itself.
Hope these two more options don't blow your mind. But none the less, I just wanted to get the blog ready for our first reviews in the Comic/Art book category. See you soon!

Mayor Gavin Newsom's rival in the Democratic primary race for lieutenant governor says she is still running a strong race despite today's poll that showed Newsom well-positioned to win next Tuesday's race.
Newsom holds a 17-point lead, according to poll released by Tulchin Research today. The poll shows that 46 percent of likely Democratic primary voters support Newsom compared to 29 percent who say they will support Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn. Newsom also leads by a wider margin among voters who have already cast their ballots as he garners a solid majority, according to the poll.
But Michael Trujillo, campaign manager for Hahn, responded saying "We believe with our campaign ad up and running in California we can get our message out, fixing the education system, protecting our environment and fighting for all communities."
