The Disney Vinylmation Blog: April 2011
60th Anniversary of Walt Disney's Cinderella Vinylmation Figure
60th Anniversary of Walt Disney's Cinderella Vinylmation figure at Walt Disney World, the figure was only available at Magic Kingdom Park
This was a 3" limited edition figure and had an edition size of 800 and came in a collectible tin that we just love. Here's a look at the beautiful artwork that went into the creation of the tin:
And here's a look at the finished tin itself:
Walt Disney's Cinderella premiered on February 15, 1950 and ushered in a new wave of Disney classics. It's amazing that sixty one years later the film seems just as beloved as ever.

9-inch plus 3-inch set released today
We just learned that a new 9-inch plus 3-inch set will be released today via the Disney Parks On-Line Store. Part of the Urban #6 Series, this figure features a Gumball Machine and a boy blowing a bubble. We spoke with Caley Hicks about her work on designing the nine-inch gumball machine figure.
"The original design for the machine called for way more colors than what was produced," explained Caley. "I had to limit the colors and shading due to the manufacturing process. Yet, I'm happy how the final piece turned out as the simplified graphics look better than I imagined."
The figure compliements the recently released Disney Ear Hat that resembles a Gumball Machine.

Released Today: Muppet Series 2
posted at the Disney Parks Blog on April 11th, 2011 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager
As a child, one of my favorite segments from The Muppet Show was “Pigs in Space” (followed by “Veterinarian’s Hospital” and the “Muppet News Flash”). I can’t get the announcer’s voice out of my head – “Piiiiigs in Spaaaace!” So, I was super thrilled to see Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork and Miss Piggy come to life as new Vinylmation figures in the second Muppets series. It was more than a year ago when I first spoke with Monty Maldovan, the Disney Design Group Artist responsible for the Muppets Vinylmation figures. I caught up with Monty to learn about what we can expect from the new series arriving at the D-Street locations in California and Florida on April 15, 2011.
“I had so many ideas that spilled over from series one into series two,“ explained Monty. “The biggest difference from the first series is the use of accessories. I actually redesigned several figures to include them.”
Zoot the saxophone player is one of the figures with an accessory (his hat is removable). I always liked that character probably because I once played the sax. Monty’s favorite character from the series is Dr. Teeth (he still has a fondness for Kermit the Frog though – who doesn’t?).
“Dr. Teeth is very colorful,” laughed Monty. “After seeing the first concept, Thomas Scott, one of the lead artists for Vinylmation, had me reduce the number of colors I selected to help with the manufacturing process. Despite the reduction, he may be the most colorful three-inch figure ever!”
The other big difference in series two is the addition of nine-inch figures. Three words – Sam the Eagle! The nine-inch figures will be released at a future date (not April 15); they include Animal (with drumstick), Gonzo and his chicken Camilla (awesome!) and Kermit the Frog sporting 3-D glasses.
“The Kermit with 3-D glasses design was originally planned to be the 3-inch mystery chaser figure for the first Muppets series,” said Donald Ferro, developer for Vinylmation. “We saved the artwork for series two after we changed the mystery chaser to tuxedo-clad Kermit to celebrate his 55th Anniversary.”
Monty told me that nine-inch figures were once considered for the first series.
“Rizzo the Rat and Gonzo with Camilla were originally planned to be nine-inch figures for Muppets series one,” explained Monty. “Rizzo became part of a Park series and we saved Gonzo until now.”
Fans in California will have the opportunity to meet Monty on Friday, April 15, at D-Street at Downtown Disney District in California. He will be signing figures from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. that afternoon. For fans in Florida, we are also holding an event on April 15 (sans Monty as we haven’t cloned him…yet. Calling Muppet Labs!). Guests can meet Disney artists Maria Clapsis, Casey Jones, Doug Strayer and Eric Caszatt from 10 a.m. to Noon at D-Street located at the Downtown Disney West Side in Florida.

New Shapes for Disney's Vinylmation
Yesterday, we shared some images from the upcoming Sea Creatures series that is being released on April 22, 2011 at the D-Street locations in California and Florida. This will be an open window box series featuring 12 different creatures from the sea. The figures were designed by Florida-based illustrator Billy Davis. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog in the coming weeks as Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager, has an interview with Billy about the new series.
Today, however, we wanted to discuss one thing that some of you may have noticed about the figures. They are the first series to use a slightly modified Mickey Mouse shaped canvas. For example, see the Blacktip Reef Shark image below.
Donald Ferro, developer for Vinylmation, and Thomas Scott and Eric Caszatt, lead designers for Vinylmation, has talked about the form.
"We are always striving to make the best possible figures," explained Donald. "The first form was introduced in November 2008. As the artwork has become more complex, there were elements of the first form which made it challenging from a manufacturing perspective."
The team showed us the Hawksbill Sea Turtle figure as an example of how this form allows for improved art application. The colors and design really pop when applied to this form.
"We have learned much since the introduction of Vinylmation," said Thomas Scott. "We can draw anything, but the art has to translate into printing pads and spray masks, so there are limitations. And since we are not present at the manufacturing facilities, we can't always predict how they will choose to execute our designs. This revised form addresses a few of those more challenging areas to apply artwork. One challenging area was the space where the underside of the belly and top of the feet meet. The feet are now removable which leaves the door open for improved artwork and future accessory opportunities."
We disassembled the Maine Lobster figure to give you an idea of what to expect.
Eric Caszatt shared with us a look at an upcoming figure that also illustrates the reason the form evolved.
"Continuous improvements are part of our Disney philosophy," explained Eric Caszatt. "We are excited to use this form as it combines the root of Vinylmation - the Mickey Mouse shaped canvas - with design enhancements that will make future figures look even better than today."
The team shared with us a look at an upcoming 3-inch figure designed by Casey Jones. It features that classic pirate from the Pirates of the Caribbean® Attraction - the dirty foot pirate. The thing we noticed the most is how the details on the figure really shine - the facial expression, the clean lines, the colors and more. We wants this figure!
Finally, the team explained that you will begin to see this form used for future series. Yet there may be a combination of the original form and the newer form over the next year (based on where the figures were in development process).

Tron: Legacy Series
Greetings, Programs! This is the Vinylmation™ Series featuring characters from Tron: Legacy that arrived at the D-Street locations on March 25. These figures are also available on the Disney Parks On-Line Store!
Let's remember an article about it from November 2010:
Vinylmation – ‘TRON: Legacy’
posted at the Official Disney Parks Blog on November 17th, 2010 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager
Greetings, Programs! I have added this article to the “Never Thought I’d Be Writing About This” bucket. I actually get to write about my favorite Disney film, “Tron.” I recently took my son to Tron Night in central Florida. We saw about 23 minutes of the new film, “TRON: Legacy,” and all I can say is, “Wow!” It was surreal (and awesome) to see my son pretending to play “disc game” after the preview (seriously, I did that as a kid too!). Speaking of awesome things, we have created some super cool merchandise inspired by the world of Tron (and I get to share it with you). Up first, it’s Vinylmation. I spoke with Eric Caszatt, one of the lead designers for Vinylmation, about these figures coming in 2011.
“We are releasing eight, 3-inch figures inspired by ‘Tron,’” explained Eric sitting behind his desk with “TRON: Legacy” wallpaper on his computer screen. “I started designing the figures about eight months ago. At Disney Design Group, I work closely with the Walt Disney Studios to get live action film reference materials. My great partners at the Studios provided me with complete turn-around images of the characters. The film makers reviewed and approved each of [the figures]. That was pretty cool.”
Eric designed six figures featuring characters from “TRON: Legacy” like Sam Flynn, Clu, Quorra and others. Thomas Scott designed the remaining two figures inspired by Kevin Flynn – one from 1982 and one from 2010. Originally, these figures were planned as two different limited edition sets.
“We changed the release of these figures to an open window box,” continued Eric. “We thought it would be a mistake to limit their production as they look outstanding. We believe in them like we believe in the Users [laughs].”
I asked Eric if he had a favorite figure from the series.
“I like Clu,” said Eric. “Everything about him turned out perfect – the color, the design, the artwork. [The figure] really pops. The most challenging figure was Castor as he is all white. I added shading to give the figure some definition and adjusted his face to give him an expression. It took several reviews from the Studios’ team before we were both happy with the final design.”
As mentioned, these figures will be released in 2011. But coming sooner to the “Game Grid” is a special event on November 21 featuring Noah, a local Southern California artist who is no stranger to Vinylmation. Noah has created 24 custom, 9-inch figures to be released at D-Street in Downtown Disney in California, and 12 custom, 9-inch figures for D-Street in Downtown Disney Marketplace in Florida. Each figure will retail for $595.00 and comes with a “TRON: Legacy” inspired display case standing 22-inches tall. Noah will be attending the event in California from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to personalize the figures.
I still recall the meeting that Donald Ferro, developer for Vinylmation, and I had with Noah at the end of July in California. Over breakfast, Noah explained his concepts for the figures. Seeing the final custom figures, like that preview of “TRON: Legacy” at Tron Night, blew me away! I just found the number one item for my holiday wish list this year. End of line.

U2 Sermons: Send Your Message to the G8
Send Your Message to the G8
A volunteer for Jubilee USA, who coordinated almost half of the Jubilee information tables during the Elevation Tour, has written a fine report on the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on AIDS on May 18. This (plus an interest in testing the new Blogger photoblogging capacity) prompts me to upload this picture of a few members of my congregation clumped together rather haphazardly, but still proudly participating in Jubilee USA's May 2004 Monthly Action: "Send Your Message to the G-8."
The G-8 is the meeting of the leaders of the world's 8 richest nations, coming up from June 8-10 in Georgia. If you'd like to participate in this action by sending Jubilee a photo of yourself (it doesn't have to be church groups, it can be anybody, even individuals), instructions are here. You need to do it this week, though; the deadline is June 1.

From the Top of the Stairs: I Lived To Tell!
I have lived in the mountainous West all of my life, many years in southern Idaho and the longer part in Utah, home of the "Greatest Snow on Earth." In junior high, living in Idaho, I got frostbite on the fingers of one hand waiting for a schoolbus that never came (as cold as it had been that day, it probably froze to the road!). I forget now why it didn't ever come, but I do remember the incredible pain that I endured for weeks after those poor frozen fingers warmed up again. Honestly, I think I'd rather endure childbirth (albeit with an epidural, thank you very much) than have that again.
Anyway, since then, I have not exactly been your poster child for outdoor winter sports. My idea of a good time in winter is to curl up in front of the fireplace (even the imaginary one I now have) with a good book in one hand and a cup of hot tea in the other. Quick, close the door as you go out because you're letting in a draft...!
When we got married, one of the first things Tom did that first winter was to haul all of us (tiny kids included) every Saturday morning up the canyon to go snowmobiling. Braden, who was only about two at the time, rode with Tom while Evan rode with me. Unfortunately, Evan was about four, making him a little taller and just the right height to make the top of his helmet bash me in the collarbone and/or chin, depending on the size of the bumps in the trail. While I have to say that I enjoyed those trips for about the first two hours, after about the 15th time that I got stuck in the snow or ran into a tree, I was done. Tom, on the other hand, didn't feel the need to quit until the sun was going down, QUITE a few hours past when I was ready. Nothing like trying to find your way back through the woods with little or no light, and if an after-hours blizzard happens to kick up, all the better!
Although I was always a good sport (even Tom will attest to this), I think my dear new hubby realized that he'd have more fun (and less work) if he left me home, at least most of the time. My brief stint with a winter sport had come to a blissful end! This set-up has suited me JUST FINE for years now, and I have to admit that it was a point of pride for me to live in Utah and never have been skiing. As I've mentioned before, I'm not the most graceful creature that ever walked this earth, and I honestly couldn't fathom strapping myself onto sticks of death and throwing myself down the face of a mountain. Really? Could I??!!!!
And then two weeks ago. Every year, starting in 4th grade, students in the area have a ski day where they can attend with their class, take lessons, and ski for a reduced rate. Not wanting to prejudice my children with my hatred of snow and all things cold, I have always ponied up the money and let them go on their merry way, letting their teachers be the first and only to see them reach this milestone. And I was fine with that, really. Last week was Savannah's first time, and Tom decided to sign up as one of the class chaperon's, even though he hadn't been skiing in 17+ years. I figured they'd go, ski down the bunny hill a few times, and then have it out of their systems.
Of course, that wasn't how it happened. Savannah loved it and took to the slopes like, well, like every other tiny kid you see up there. I swear these kids must come out of the womb with tiny skis and an innate knowledge of doing the pizza and french fry moves! Tom enjoyed it too, and since that day the whole family has been plotting my demise - oh, sorry - I meant to say planning a fun family outing!
Today was the day and it couldn't have been more ideal weather-wise; it was cold, but the sun was out, the skies were blue, and we were up out of the valley smog where you could actually breathe. I had immediate reservations as I tried to walk down the lodge steps in the rented boots without killing myself. Once I got the skis strapped on, my fear increased (especially when Evan tried to push me down a small slope, before anyone had even explained to me how to stop - thanks Ev - I owe you one!). A few pointers and many funny-looking runs down the bunny hill later ( where I'd go ten feet or so and then throw myself bodily to the ground to stop) I felt confident enough to go on the lift higher up the mountain. Actually, I was just desperate to get away from the tow rope which narrowly missed conking me in the head as I got tangled in one of my attempts to grab hold of it.
Anyway, Evan (are you seeing a pattern here?) assured me that the lift run was just like the bunny hill, only in two stages. What. A. Liar! I managed to make it in one piece to the bottom (only inwardly cursing small children who whizzed past me like future olympians) and after the adrenaline finished pulsing through me, I decided it hadn't been that bad and went on it again... and again... and again.
Towards the end of the day, feeling pretty good because I could ski slowly down the hill without having to flop over like a fish, a little boy about Savannah's age kept coming behind me, no matter how I tried to turn to get out of his way. It finally became apparent that he was trying to tell me something.
"What?" I finally said, turning to look at him and praying I wouldn't crash in doing so.
"My sister could teach you how to ski! She's REAL good!!" Said sister was just feet behind him, grinning from ear-to-12-year-old-ear.
Guess I'm not as good as I thought, but it was still a lot of fun. Any guesses as to what I'll be searching for at yard sales this summer?
That's awesome! I am so glad that you made it back alive! Just kidding I knew you could do it!

Charles P. Ouletta, Appellant, v. Charles Robert Sarver, Commissioner of Corrections, State of Arkansas, and Ted Hood, Surety, Appellees, 428 F.2d 804 (8th Cir. 1970)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 428 F.2d 804 (8th Cir. 1970) July 10, 1970
The defendant's conviction was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Arkansas. Ouletta v. State, 246 Ark. 1112, 442 S.W.2d 216 (1969). The Arkansas Supreme Court specifically considered and rejected the defendant's contention that the statement should have been excluded because he was not warned of his rights in accordance with Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 (1966).
The Miranda issue is the only one raised by the defendant on this appeal. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and find that the trial court's conclusions are supported by the evidence. We further hold that it correctly relied upon this Court's decisions in Cohen v. United States, 405 F.2d 34 (8th Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 394 U.S. 943, 89 S. Ct. 1274, 22 L. Ed. 2d 478 (1969), and White v. United States, 395 F.2d 170 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, Hubik v. United States, 393 U.S. 844, 89 S. Ct. 127, 21 L. Ed. 2d 115 (1968), in denying the defendant's petition.

Swiss cheese, Innocence and a question of guilt: Garcia v Google explained - The IPKat
Home / Garcia v. Google; copyright interest; irreparable harm; right to be forgotten; audiovisual works; authorship; Article 17 USC Digital Millennium Copyright Act / Swiss cheese, Innocence and a question of guilt: Garcia v Google explained
valentina torelli Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - Garcia v. Google; copyright interest; irreparable harm; right to be forgotten; audiovisual works; authorship; Article 17 USC Digital Millennium Copyright Act
For those who thought that the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had embraced a new theory of copyright in Garcia v Google in February 2014 (here), such expectations were disappointed last month when the Court reversed its decision, denying Garcia's copyright interest in her acting performance within the highly controversial video Innocence of Muslims.
In brief, actress Cindy Lee Garcia, right, featured a five-second clip for a film entitled Desert Warrior. Her performance was subsequently used by the film's producer, a Mark Youssef (formerly known as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula), in Innocence of Muslims, a movie that was offensive to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Youssef introduced the dubbed version of Garcia's performance into the video, thus making her a participant in his anti-Islam message. Then he uploaded the video on to YouTube, securing a volume of viewers' visits which ran at the rate of more than one billion per month. The video, translated into Arabic, spread throughout the Middle East where it generated violent protests. As a result Ms Garcia received several death threats.
Garcia tried to get the video removed from YouTube by sending a take-down request to Google alleging violation of her state law rights to privacy and to control her likeness. She also sent Google five take-down notices under Article 17 USC, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, all in vain. Garcia then sued Google and Youssef before a Los Angeles State Court on the basis of a selection of torts that included invasion of privacy and violation of her right to publicity. After dropping that action, she sought a temporary restraining order and an order for a preliminary injunction against the same co-defendants before the District Court of the Central District of California on the basis of copyright infringement, which is where the copyright story begins. The court held that Google was not prohibited from hosting Innocence of Muslims, either because Garcia's copyright interest in the video was not established or because she was taken to have granted an implied licence of her contribution in the video to Youssef.
All in all, Garcia did not prove that the injunction would have prevented any harm, since she did not act promptly by commencing legal proceedings as soon as the video was online and did not establish that she had a copyright interest that was enforceable in the proceedings on the merits. On appeal the Federal Court granted Garcia an injunction, ordering Google to remove all copies of the video. The Court subsequently amended this injunction, instead allowing only versions of the video which did not include Garcia's performance to be distributed on YouTube.
On 18 May last, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reheard the case and took a different view. The importance of this final decision in Garcia v Google can be explained in relation to three main points:
* definition of what is copyright-protectable in audiovisual works, refusing to accept that the existence of an autonomous copyright interest in a single acting performance constituted authorship of the whole work;* the exercise of seeking to balance copyright with freedom to speech and * the consequences of copyright claims on the monitoring of uploaded materials by internet service providers (ISPs).
In holding that no preliminary injunction should have been granted, the Court applied the factors construed in Winter v NRDC, which would require the plaintiff to show (1) that she is likely to succeed on the merits, (2) that she is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a preliminary injunction, (3) that the balance of equities is in her favour and (4) that granting an injunction is in the public interest. On this basis, said the Court, neither the law nor the facts favoured Garcia's application for relief.
Why couldn't Garcia's copyright claim prevail? Said the Court, Innocence of Muslims was a motion picture, this being an “audiovisual work ... consisting of a series of related images which, when shown in succession, impart an impression of motion, together with accompanying sounds, if any”. However, citing the Copyright Office's expert witness, it affirmed that for the purposes of copyright protection a motion picture is a single integrated work and that the Office recognises no copyright claim by an actor or actress in his or her performance within a motion picture. This being so, Garcia's contribution in Innocence of Muslims could not be considered as joint authorship in the video. If it did, it would pave the way to a dispersion of copyright interests by recognising as many works as the number of contributors involved in them, making "Swiss cheese" of the copyright (at p.20).
Equally, Hollywood relies on contract law to limit actors' copyright claims, and actors are deemed to have given implied licences to film-makers in the absence of a contract. The Court took the view that Garcia's performance was a work-made-for-hire and that she thus granted an implied licence to Youssef.
The Court emphasised that, from the perspective of third party content distributors, it would not be easy to access any implied licences, meaning that no previous knowledge of possible copyright infringement can be required of them, nor any obligation to monitor the content uploaded. Finally, the fact that Garcia did not fix her performance on a tangible medium of expression ran counter to recognising her as having made any authorial contribution to Innocence of Muslims.
Although the Court might have stopped there, it went on to rule on the irreparable harm requirement. The Court did not disregard the seriousness of the death threats to Garcia but, even conceding that she suffered emotional distress because of the danger to her life, such harm was not connected with her copyright claims. Copyright serves to reward an author's creativity and to boost new creation, not to protect privacy.
Garcia might better have sought an injunction on the basis of breach of privacy or fraud, said the Court, to provide some relief from her alleged personal and reputation harm. However, in the US there is currently nothing like the EU right to be forgotten [France has recently asked Google to expand the right to be forgotten: see here], as articulated by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-131/12 Google Spain v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) [noted by the IPKat here]. Likewise, the Digital Millennium Act, Article 17, excludes moral right protection in respect of audiovisual works. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit therefore concluded that no take-down order should have been ordered against Google, especially since that would entail a 'prior restraint of speech' which clashes with First Amendment rights. As the Court stated: "copyright is not categorically immune from challenges under the First Amendment"; the injunction had the effect of depriving the public of "the ability to view firsthand, and judge for themselves, a film at the center of an international uproar".
Judge Kozinski, dissenting, held that Garcia's acting performance was fully copyright-protected and that she acquired copyright at the moment when Youssef fixed her performance in Desert Warrior. Of the majority decision, he considered that it sacrificed copyright interests for the sake of simplification of film-making productions and service providers' activities.

Chief Judge Kozinski is due to the deliver the Sir Hugh Laddie Annual Lecture at UCL (IBIL) in London next Wednesday 24th june. Although the title of the lecture is "IP and Advocacy", he may well touch on the Garcia case.
I'm not sure if there are still places left, but if anyone is interested in attending they need to book through the Eventbrite site

Some of us reading this are patent attorneys, and thus allergic to imprecise use of language. In contrast to your second paragraph, I suspect that it's true to say that the movie wasn't "offensive to the Islamic prophet Muhammad", the gentleman in question having departed this vale of tears some while ago, and therefore being quite incapable of taking offence from the movie in question. Whether or not it may have been offensive to some Muslims may be a different matter.

Alcohol and drug treatment for women: Clinicians' beliefs and practice — Northern Arizona University
Clinicians' beliefs and practice
Lois Cowan, Daryle Deering, Marie Crowe, Doug Sellman, Ann D Collier, Simon Adamson
The present paper reports on the results of a telephone survey of 217 alcohol and drug treatment clinicians on their beliefs and practice, in relation to service provision for women. Nurses comprised the second largest professional group surveyed. Seventy-eight percent of clinicians believed that women's treatment needs differed from men's and 74% reported a range of approaches and interventions, such as assisting with parenting issues and referral to women-only programmes. Several differences emerged in relation to approaches and interventions used, depending on clinician gender, work setting and proportion of women on clinicians' caseload. Implications for mental health nursing include the need to more systematically incorporate gender-based treatment needs into practice and undergraduate and postgraduate education and training programmes.

Tag Archives: Boys Noize	Boys Noize – ‘XTC’ + MMM Remix
August 15, 2012 by barrygruff	Boys Noize never manages to disappoint. He hasn’t changed the script with his brand new single ‘XTC’, taken from his forthcoming new album Out Of The Black. ‘XTC’, cheesy song title aside, pits a catchy synth, robotic vocals and a powerfully bassline together into a techno infused electro beast. That’s not all, check MMM‘s stunning remix, fleshed out to over 7 minutes, it is more minimalist, sinister and packs a serious punch of its very own.
Everything is looking good for the new album which will be with us in October.

ZooTennis: Kyrgios Wins Australian Boys Title; Bellis Reaches Les Petits As Final; Capra Dismissed From Duke
Disastorious story for Capra who is a genuine person. Sadly she will have this story with her forever and another dark cloud on Duke womens team. Hopefully she can return to College Park for great training during this suspension. I wish her the best.
Alfredo Perez with a match default - isn't it a bit ironic that his coach is the tournament director and playing at his hometown club?
leadership? said...
After reading the Jamie Ashworth's quote, unfortantely he seems like he is more concerned if Beatrice will go back to Duke, then the nature of her actions and the serious violation in which she committed.
College Tennis: what do you mean 'another dark cloud'?
leadership?: yes, I got the same impression.
Absolutely nothing ironic about alredo Perez default. My guess is that these umpires know him. He's been a disgrace to the sport for years,. Kudos to theses umpires.
What was Capras rule violation?

A Weekend, in Food: Sunday Dinner Series
Ahh, the adjustment to married life continues. Not that it's a big adjustment, mind you, but it does give me an excuse to cook up some dinners that take a little extra time, thought, and love. This was a rare occurrence when I was living alone, but now that Hubs is here, it seems appropriate to lay the groundwork for a well-loved tradition: Sunday dinner.
Sundays were very important days in my house growing up. Of course, the day would start bright and early with a Roman Catholic service. Once we were old enough to not throw hissy fits in the store, this would be immediately followed by grocery shopping, since the large grocery store was across the street from our church. I have some great memories of food shopping with the family, which eventually turned into waving hello from behind the deli counter as I rushed to work at the store immediately following mass.
Just had to include a shout-out to St. Paul's, even though my old elementary school next door is now a pharmacy...
It was a rare Sunday where we didn't make a special dinner (or "lupper", as my dad usually calls it, since we typically ate around 2-3 pm). Nonna would often be invited over to dine with us as well. Things like pot roasts with root vegetables, homemade egg-based pasta or gnocchi with meatballs and long-simmered sauce, beef stew, oven-roasted chicken pieces in some sort of delicious sauce, or barbecued ribs or pork loin in the summer would be the typical fare. It wasn't just the food that was important, though... it was the sense of togetherness and family.
So, now that I've officially started our own little family, I'm finding that I'm gravitating towards a similar tradition in our one-bedroom apartment. Our dear friend/neighbor Deb often fills the role of Nonna, coming over to share with us and visit. The past few weeks, I've really enjoyed my Sunday creations... enter the Sunday Dinner Series on A Weekend, In Food!
Part I: Can't Beet This!
Blame my father for my terrible puns. I'm just a product of my environment.
Manitoba. Beets. They're kind of a "thing" here. I've seen them on all sorts of upscale restaurant menus: in hummus, on burgers, etc. I honestly didn't really grow up eating them. I do remember trying the pickled variety at one point, but they weren't a staple. I saw some lovely local bunches at the market, and couldn't resist trying them. I'd heard that they became very sweet when roasted, so I followed this recipe from Allrecipes.com to give it a shot.
"Breadmaker bread", on the other hand, WAS a staple for Sunday dinners. I can distinctly remember filling up the machine's "pail" with all the necessary ingredients and lugging it downstairs. Magically, some hours later, bread emerged. To a 12-year-old, this is pretty amazing. My grandmother always marveled at how much we loved it, hot from the appliance, commenting, "you seem to like it so much that you don't even put butter on it!" True enough. The fresh flavour was all we needed. I bought a breadmaker from a yard sale for a bank-breaking five dollars... and produced this lovely half-white, half-whole-wheat loaf to accompany our dinner. I think the recipe produced a bit too much dough for my machine, though, as you can see by the "mushroom top" loaf that resulted. I didn't have any bread flour, so I used 2 cups of all-purpose and 1 cup of whole wheat flour in this (again, Allrecipes.com) recipe. Good results overall, and very simple to pull off.
Now what to do for the main? Pork tenderloin has become a pretty frequent Sunday dinner star. Now, I love my father to the very depths of my heart. Really. But his PTs are frequently seasoned with his special "rub"... which I'm convinced consists of a generous dumping of every spice and herb in the rack. Even those that might not...err... "play nicely" together on the palate. I will admit, though, that it forms a good, functional crust on the meat when he grills it on the barbecue. Being 'cue-less, and preferring time-honoured combinations like oregano, garlic, and olive oil on my pork, I followed this recipe to make both roasted potatoes and a Mediterranean-inspired oven roasted pork tenderloin, with delicious results. Three-for-three for Allrecipes.com! It's becoming a good friend for hearty, down-home flavour ideas.
Mmm, pork. A little bit pink in the middle, just the way I like it... which is PERFECTLY SAFE by today's swine-rearing standards.
Wondering what I did with the roasted beets? I tossed them with mixed greens and feta, then drizzled with an olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper vinaigrette. Hello salad course!!
A delicious plate overall.
I'm really hoping that nice Sunday dinners become a tradition in our family, especially as it expands (NOT YET!) with children. Even though our lives aren't super-hectic at the moment, it's still nice to set aside time to sit down and really enjoy a nice, well-prepared meal that takes a bit more effort than our standard weeknight stir-frys and pastas. Stay tuned for further installations of the Sunday Dinner Series, and let me know how I'm doing!!
Part professional, part aspiring household/gastronomic goddess, I remain,
Labels: beet, bread, garlic, pork, potato, salad

Free PR resources for your small business | PR Over Coffee
Free PR resources for your small business
February 3, 2014	PR over Coffee	0 comments	Austin PR Firm, Free PR Tips, PR for Entrepreneurs, PR help, pr over coffee, Small Business PR, Startup PR	As a small business owner myself, I understand the need to do more with less. A lot more, for a lot less.
But if your dreams are as big as your heart, and you have a never-say-die attitude, then you can promote your business to the media and grow its reach and revenue over time.
Here is a list of free resources that small business owners like you and me can take advantage of when trying to get media coverage for our latest accomplishments:
Help a Reporter Out: originally started by Peter Shankman to connect reporters with expert sources, now owned by Vocus, Help a Reporter Out, also known as HARO, continues to offer small businesses a chance to get an interview with a Tier 1 media outlet like CNNMoney, Forbes.com and Entrepreneur. Click here to sign up for the service, which will send you three daily emails filled with lots and lots of source requests. CAVEAT: the service can be a little overwhelming to follow, so be sure you’re ready to spend a little time each day combing the quote leads, some of which are from unknown blogs, “authors,” and the dreaded “anonymous.”
USNPL: this handy website is a massive list of newspapers complete with links to the newspaper website and contact information. For example, say you want to know the name of the newspaper for Arab, Alabama. Click here and you’ll get access to information like the editor name, phone number, address, and more.
The Business Journals: Biz Journals owns business journals in over 40 cities across America from Albany all the way to Albuquerque. Each city journal is managed locally and does a great job of covering local business. Each journal accepts story pitches directly from small businesses, and often they even hold breakfasts and special events so you can meet their reporters face-to-face. To find the Business Journal near you, click here.
Twitter: don’t overlook Twitter as a way to find, follow and engage reporters that write about what you do. One pharmacy owner in Austin, Texas tweeted a local TV news reporter about one of its natural allergy products as a way to help cedar pollen sufferers. The next day the pharmacy was featured in the news along with the product he pitched.
Online publications: you can also read virtually any media outlet online today for free, or very nearly free. Get to know which media outlets cover your community (or industry) the most to discover which reporters and bloggers to whom you should direct a pitch. Be sure to read what they write to make sure you are a good fit for their “news beat” (e.g., restaurant critic as opposed to a healthcare reporter) or all your work will amount to nothing.
Coffee or lunch: you can always ask a reporter out for coffee or lunch. It’s a low-cost and effective way to get plugged directly into a media outlet. Plan out several story pitches about your business to see which one sticks the most. And don’t get your feelings hurt if the reporter says the pitches aren’t ready for prime-time just yet. PR is about building trust and long-lasting relationships, not instant gratification.
Online press release distribution: many services like PRWeb and PRLeap will distribute your press release online for a fee. But one allows you to post a press release for free. It’s called PRLOG and is found here. Essentially, an online press release distribution outlet like PRLOG is primarily for your SEO (search engine optimization) strategy, which will help improve your Internet search engine rankings. In other words, reporters are not scouring these websites for breaking news. It’s up to you to contact them directly to pitch your story. Sorry. But at least it’s free!
Networking: don’t overlook the opportunity to run into a reporter at an event like a trade show or local economic forum. You can also ask your friends and business associates if they know any reporters covering your industry or community; one of them could live next to the 6 o’clock news anchor for the CBS affiliate in your city.
Last but not least, the PR over Coffee blog is a free resource that helps you figure out new ways to get noticed. Keep reading and I promise you will come away with some sure-fire ways to get your business the media attention is truly deserves.
About Dave Manzer: Dave Manzer founded his own tech PR agency in Austin in 2009. Dave Manzer PR and Marketing helps startups and emerging growth companies become recognizable brands through innovative, value-driven PR campaigns. He also launched PR over Coffee to provide small business PR advice so that entrepreneurs and startups could practice “DIY” PR and promote themselves to a much wider audience.

Picture More Recruitment Blog: August 2009
Hello again.Pace SetterDid you see Usain Bolt this week? He’s come from nowhere to dominate world sprinting! Well actually he hasn’t, he’s been well known to most pundits for 9 or 10 years and he’s been training very hard and improving all the way.This week we’re talking about preparation: Interview Preparation.We are sending some excellent IT candidates and marketing professionals off for interviews this week and many of them have had doubts and questions. There are some great tips on our website but we want to give you access to extra information that will really help you to be the best you can be. Remember, the best candidate doesn’t always succeed: the best interviewee does.4 Key AreasLet’s look at 4 areas to help you arrive feeling ready to dazzle:· Make sure you’re going for a job you really want· Treat every conversation in your search like an interview· Be ready for any question· Practise!AmbitionIf you’re not going for a job you really want the chances are you won’t get it. You may feel under less pressure because the stakes aren’t so high but the lack of enthusiasm is likely to come through. If you’re suffering from a passion gap then How to Get a Job You’ll Love is a great guide to help identify what gets you enthusiastic.CommunicationOnce you’ve found that source of enthusiasm then start communicating it. In all your networking activities and conversations with friends make sure they know what you want to do. Treat anyone new, who may be able to help you, with the respect you would reserve for an interviewer, even if they called you first. You need people on your side.Standard AnswersThere is a relatively standard list of about 200 interview questions, including ice-breakers, toughies and competency-based. As part of your ongoing career development strategy you can prepare stock answers to these questions that can be upgraded as required.

Hello again, I hope you are well.Personal InterestsDo you remember back in blog 1 when we talked about your CV having at least 3 personal interests which aren’t work related but do include:· Evidence of teamwork· Something eye-catching· Something you really enjoy and can enthuse aboutMr XWell this week I met a contact, let’s call him “Mr X”, with the following personal interests:Regularly enjoy sailing, skiing, singing and reading. Ran the London Marathon and sailed in the Fastnet race. Public Relations Officer for Oxford Harmony. Played rugby for Leicester Tigers, Richmond and Henley.The MessageIt’s got it all! If you know this person you’ll recognize him from this. If you don’t know this person what would you expect? Someone who looks after themselves and is confident and outgoing? An enthusiastic team player who is ready to help others and push themselves to the limit whilst still having fun? Well you’d be right. He sounds quite employable doesn’t he?I asked Mr X about the Fastnet race and got an entertaining answer. Based on his time on the yacht he came up with a new management concept: Engage, Transform, Energise.First I got everyone to buy in to me by doing all the horrible jobs – EngageWhen that spirit of trust was built up people took notice of me and I could lead by example – TransformOnce that started to happen my enthusiasm became infectious and the team became energized, I know that because they told me! – Energise.I wanted to put this on the blog because I too got energized by Mr X and felt there was something here worth sharing.Set an ExampleFirstly this story underlines my advice to have that rounded package of personal interests, not just on the CV but in your life. Having a positive message tied to those activities is the icing on the cake.Secondly it’s worth thinking about times when we can implement Mr X’s very transferable idea. Skipping the steps will lead to resistance. When could you use this model?
Have these blogs been a bit lengthy for you? We’ve had some feedback to suggest they were, so this time we’ll try and be punchier, which will leave us more time for getting people placed...and predicting football scores http://predictthescore.net/That last line may look slightly “off topic” but it’s part of a serious point. Whilst seeking inspiration for a softer blog theme we typed “how I got the job” into google and came up with this link that we posted on our twitter feed at the weekend.It’s American and very marketing focused but don’t be put off if that’s not your country or industry, Ann Handley’s advice is great. There are 4 key courses of action to help you find a job you’ll love:· Google yourself to check your online profile· Reach out online· Make meaningful personal contact· Forget networking > Start providing valueThe first point is simple. Increase the professionalism of your online profile. Edit any inappropriate content from social networking sites and generally increase your marketable presence.Second, reach out for advice online and keep all communication channels open.Third, make personal contact with industry players and strategically manage any posts you’re making……and fourth. Now we don’t really want you to forget networking but you do need to remember it’s a two way street and that’s what leads to “providing value”. Answer people’s questions, share useful tweets or posts and support people’s projects. Helpful, collaborative people are more likely to be helped.On that note, thank you so much to our first few followers for signing up. The website still says one but we know you’re out there! We don’t want to overload you with links but Predict the Score is great fun and here are a couple of well followed twitter feeds that our contacts are running to show what can be achieved: http://tinyurl.com/ksv9jz posts marketing product manager roles and http://tinyurl.com/mofux2 is just generally fun and informative.What could you do?
First: ContactsAt Picture More we understand the importance of strong business relationships for long term success in this industry. We have a large network of professionals that we have known for years; many of these are now personal acquaintances as well as business partners. This is essential for us and, as we suggested in the last blog, good practice for any ambitious professional aiming to advance their career. A lot of our longest standing contacts are in IT related disciplines but we also have a rapidly growing marketing and sales network due to our new division that specialises in those areas. No matter which contacts we talk to we are always asked what trends we have noticed in the employment market. As the media continues to talk of “green shoots” of recovery we’d like to use this week’s blog to give our opinion.Prospects for GrowthOn a day to day basis our view of the market is framed by our activity with clients. From this comparatively narrow perspective the news is good and as we have clients in many different sectors it’s certainly a positive indicator. Some organisations that had become dormant from a recruitment point of view have become active again and we have seen some senior roles come in. Importantly, the contracting market is also opening up. Looking at the market beyond the frontier of our client base the last year has been pretty bleak and there have been consistent month on month falls in advertised positions. Depending which source you looked at, the number of new IT roles fell by 60-70% and sales and marketing roles fell by more than half. The good news is that this trend seems to have levelled out now and the numbers are even starting to climb gently in certain sectors. Recruitment "Bounce"We had felt that this bounce would have to come soon and improving performance from banks, mining stocks and house builders may boost confidence enough to spark a recovery in recruitment. Many companies have imposed recruitment freezes, removed all contractors and made heavy cuts in IT and marketing staff. In some cases it is felt that these cuts went too far and there will need to be a mini recruitment drive to redress the balance. At the same time we have seen other companies that haven’t cut back so far and are actually using this relatively quiet time to look at their infrastructure and systems architecture. All this requires specific expertise which brings us back into play.Another trend that arises out of this climate is a push for exact fit. Companies justifiably feel they are in a market where they can hold out for the “perfect” candidate. Professional consultancies like Picture More will always strive to find perfect matches anyway but the bar is clearly being raised.DifferentiateSo how should our candidates feel and what should they do? Feel positive! No-one was immune from redundancy or pay freezes over the last few months. Manage your CVs and on-line profiles to include an increased level of detail of relevant, recent experience. Make sure to mention anything that differentiates you, including prestigious former employers. Think strategically about the positions you want to find and make sure to package profiles accordingly. Realistically that is going to mean doing some in depth research on prospective employers. It’s a tough market but when the going gets tough....
