I'm so behind in finishing stuff but I devoted the whole month of August to completeing everything. Here are socks 1 through 8 which will be donated to charity.
And pairs 9 through 12 are also done.

#5 - finally finished

This pair seemed to take forever.  The yarn is lovely, but I found it hard on my hands and it 'wormed' quiet a bit, especially, as luck would have it, on the second sock.   On to the next!  Going to use a fluffy, stretchy, wooly yarn next. One with lots of lanolin or maybe that stuff w/aloe added

Pair #9

Pair #9

Eleanor socks from Socktopia

Yarn: Shibuiknits in Breeze

Started on: Aug 3
Finished on: Aug 10

The pattern is a lot of fun to knit. It gets addicting after awhile. This is the second time I've knit this pattern. This was my first time working with Shibuiknits yarn. The yarn is incredibly soft and easy to work with. I think I need to go buy some more of it.

Delinquent Knitter :0...4/52

Seems I am a bit behind, but it's OK. Here is #4 I believe. Poor color choice for my first attempt at cable knitting. A nice soft solid or heathery color would have shown it off better. I also tried to get the socks to mirror one another, not so much...but I am happy with the results. It is the Celtic Cable Heel sock knitted with 4 full repeats. The yarn is Wildfoote Rhapsody...and I love the rich colors. These have already been sent to my eldest daughter and she likes a snug fit through the foot....and I changed from a size 2 needle from the leg to a size #1 on the heel to toe portion.It also makes them last longer. I had never knitted a patterned sock before other than a little heart here and there, but this is my first ever Cable. It was a fun learning experience. I still cannot knit toe-up, but Oh well....to everything there is a season. Happy knitting to all.

Terry Ross's Sock #12 reminds me of this :)

Terry, You are so creative!. I looked at your sock #12, unnamed, and thought of a plant I had on my patio when I was first married. It was so pretty. Your beautiful fuschia and green sock reminded me of it. It took me a few days to come up with the name of the plant....I really enjoy seeing your beautiful socks and realize how talented you are. Can't wait to see the front of your socklets. :)

Annual Get Together 2012 Mangla (Day-2)

The day-2 was a bright sunny day. The events planned for the second day included golf for the golfers. And for the non golfers and their families, a visit to the Mangla Fort was planned, followed by games/horse riding for children at the Army Water Sports Club, boat riding in the Mangla Dam Lake, followed by lunch abroad three rafts inside Mangla Dam Lake.

Since the golfers were too busy with their clubs to beat the balls, there is no coverage available (so far). I missed the visit to the fort and went direct to the AWSC for the lunch, therefore could not cover the events at the Mangla Fort and the games/boat riding at the AWSC. However thanks to Muazzem, who has sent me a few photos of these events which can be seen as herein under:

Followed by the Golf, visit to Mangla Fort and boating, everyone boarded the rafts, men and wives on one raft and children on the second and were slowly taken inside the Mangla Lake. Unlike last year, the water was clear and of sea green colour stretched for miles.

After the lunch, the seating plan was changed for a briefing by the course secretary Asif, who apprised the course mates of the latest news about the course and everyone listened to him very attentively. He started off with the news of the shahadat of Dr Sharjeel, son of Shahid Noor, who embraced shahadat in the Waziristan recently and everyone offered fateha and prayed for the bereaved family.

Thereafter, he also conveyed the good news of proceeding on haj by our course mates, namely Saeed Akram, Sami Ullah, Mohsin Amir, and conveyed their special greetings for the course. He also mentioned of Maj Arshad's absence, who is a regular participant in all course gatherings, as he had gone to Lahore on his nephew's marriage. The good news of promotion of Mohsin Amir in the grade 20 were also broken, who is presently working in NADRA.

The secret of sponsoring the lunch on the raft was also broken and it was told that Jamal Zia had borne the expenses of the lunch, on which he got a loud applause from everyone. All those who had not received or collected the shields, sponsored personally by Major Wasif were also asked to collect from Asif at the end of the ceremony. The efforts by Zaheer Ul Islam to look after the course mates were also apprised and lauded by everyone. Before handing over the mike to Agha Umer Farooq, who has recently retired, to say a few words about his settling down, Tariq Khan was thanked on behalf of the course for the wonderful get together arrangements.

Ihtesham got late and arrived after the ceremony was almost over - but it was pleasure to see him and everyone welcomed him with open arms and embraces.

Back on the land, there was a group photo of all the participating officers. As it happens with the photographer, no one is willing to give him a place to be in the group and take the shot instead. This happened in the following case too and I had to rush over to find a space for myself and almost falling over the commando Khokhar - to the amusement of everyone.

The gathering then started to drift away - thanking Tariq Khan for his two days long hospitality. Like his hospitality two times, the next two gatherings were to be hosted by Salim Nawaz - more of these next and next to next year.

Photo Credit: While most of the photos have been taken by me, some of the photos have been shared by Mushtaq and Asif Ilyas and

Square pegs

Ulaanbaatar has more than a few squares, an unsurprising love of the great Chinggis and the less well known hero Sukhbaatar (who led an uprising against the Chinese in the 1920's) and perhaps more surprisingly... a deep affection for the beatles.

Sukhbaatar Square is the biggest and most famous, it is a place of gathering, a place to protest and to play. It really is as big as it looks. It is hard not to imagine a soviet style military parade goose stepping past the statues of Chinghiss and Sukhbaatar.

These days however the statues are places where the nippers ride around on electric cars or get a bit of a ride around on a tandem.

It's also a place to have your picture taken after your wedding and drink your champagne out of paper cups.

and while it is a huge place with some imposing buildings surrounding it, perhaps the most impressive of them is the big glass sail of a building that provides a landmark from just about anywhere in the city.

Sukhbaatar may be the most impressive of the squares but my favourite idea what it's called, lets just call it  Beatles Square.
Not quite sure why there appears to be a window frame leant up against John and Ringo but they have clearly decided that the apple is not quite right and it is being resized. Perhaps they'll take a bite out of it as well.
The view the other way is not quite as impressive but does point to the circus, yep the big yellow place is/was a circus, now it's more of a multi purpose venue but is still referred to as the circus.

Sadly the picture just missed a teenager surfing the crossbar and handlebar of his knackered old mountainbike, a bike with one brake and a home made single speed gear. Brilliant. I nearly had enough bottle to ask him to do it again but sadly...
Maybe I need to get braver!

help with editing 5-paragraph essay

5-Paragraph Essay Editing Help

5 –paragraph essay is one of the most clearly defined and easy to master forms of academic assignments for the sheer fact of its pre-determined structure upon which you are supposed to base and construct everything else. Some people, however, experience problems because of the very fact of this formalism and have to ask someone to help editing 5-paragraph essay for them. Really, not everybody is comfortable with the idea of putting their thoughts into the boundaries of format. Of course, you can surf the internet for individuals and agencies offering help with editing 5-paragraph essay – it is not difficult to find them, for this format is very wide-spread.

If you want to do without 5-paragraph essay editing help, you have two remember a few things.

We are speaking about the text with a very clear structure; it is one of the cases when it is best to determine what and where you are going to write before you start. If something seems out of place when you finish, you may either ask for help with editing 5-paragraph essay or cut off everything that doesn’t fit in. Remember about the structure: introduction, 3 supporting or proving paragraphs, conclusion. If you are unable to write in this manner from the very beginning, try writing your general thoughts at first, then bring them to common denominator of a 5-paragraph essay.

Try reading the first sentences of every paragraph and think whether you can understand the main thought without everything that is in-between. It is the best way of checking internal connections between the paragraphs in a 5-paragraph essay.

If you are dissatisfied with the already finished essay, don’t hesitate to throw the parts of it away; up to the extreme, sometimes the best way out of a badly-written essay is not editing it but rewriting from scratch.

It's good to have a hobby, but we're not so sure if Jonathan Lee Riches' penchant for filing ridiculous fake lawsuits against celebrities and public figures is a productive one.

But amusing? Sometimes, since the latest one punked Radar Online and everyone -- including us -- who repeated it. (Mea culpa.)

Riches has a long history of crazy lawsuits and such (we'll get into that in a minute), but his most recent suit came to light yesterday. In it, he claimed to be Chris Federline, brother of Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin, and said he himself fathered their son Sean Preston. He also accused Spears of credit card fraud.

The lawsuit was real, but the charges themselves were not, and they were dropped on Dec. 20 -- two days after the suit was filed.

Riches was recently released from federal prison earlier this year after 10 years behind bars for conspiracy and wire fraud. He recently had his five-year probation revoked for leaving the state of Pennsylvania to visit the home of Adam Lanza -- who was responsible for those horrific school shootings in Newton, Conn.

Not only did Riches videotape that visit and put it on YouTube, claiming Lanza was under mind-control by the Illuminati, he also said he was Jonathan Lanza, the shooter's uncle. The news media was sucked in by that one, and he gave on-camera interviews, created a memorial site and prayed for his deceased “nephew."

During his first incarceration, Riches spent his time in the clink filing hundreds of fake lawsuits, and continued the practice after his release -- including one in which he claimed to be Selena Gomez's father and sued Justin Bieber for a variety of things, including stealing Riches' credit card to get himself a penis enlargement.

The fake Chris Federline suit had some similar characteristics in that it targeted a high-profile celebrity and included Riches' obsession with his obviously small peen. In the suit, the faux Federline alleged that Britney Spears mocked his tiny member.

(The lawsuits may be bunk, but we liked that part so we don't care if it's true. We're going to believe it anyway.)

A judge dropped the latest charges based on three other court documents he had in his possession from Riches. Two of the cases listed members of the Kardashian family as defendants, and a third was filed under the false name Jonathan Jolie (a supposed cousin of Angelina Jolie). He was suing Brad Pitt, John Travolta and the Church of Scientology for assault.

In that suit, Riches claimed to be “hiding at the Italian Embassy in New York for protection" and "wearing a mask,” and he included a photo of himself in the aforementioned mask holding a copy of his own mug shot.

Someone needs to cut off this guy's access to legal documents and give him a padded cell. Or at least a reality show.

The thought of a man eating, chew-you-up-and-turn-you-into sea poo brand of Great White is frightening enough to keep us out of the ocean during spring break; however, scientists say that the sharks of our time are goldfish in comparison to this fiendish 25-foot chainsaw-toothed, prehistoric killer known as Helicoprion.

Researchers say that this half-ton monstrosity roamed the open seas nearly 270 million years ago, and used its conveyor-belt-like set of chompers to rip prey to shreds, instead of using the bite-and-chew method commonly shown during Shark Week. Yet, it wasn’t until after scientists put together a virtual reconstruction of this beasts jaw that they began to understand the complexities of the saw-like mouth.

The most perplexing question scientists had about this ancient hell-fish is how did it fit its teeth back inside of its mouth after giving its prey the old chainsaw massacre of the sea treatment. What they found was that the creatures teeth rolled back inside of its mouth and fit next to the back joint of the jaw. When it came time to get into kill-mode, all the beast had to do to unleash its aquatic Leatherface is to simply allow its jaw to unfurl and devour.

Fossils of this gargantuan chainsaw fish have been unearthed in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Incidentally, a Helicoprion exhibit is scheduled to open this summer at the Idaho Museum of Natural History, which will have a thirteen-foot reconstructed version of the sea beast on display.

We think this creature would make one hell of a worldwide nemesis in a new 'Jaws' movie. Steven Spielberg, have your people call our people.

One of the things that keeps cooking interesting for me is stumbling upon new and unique ingredients. For example, one of my recent finds at my local grocery store was a mysterious-sounding rice by Lotus Foods called "Forbidden Rice."* The name was just so cool and the color so intriguing, I couldn't resist picking up a small bag to play around with. As it turned out Forbidden Rice is a heirloom short-grain rice with a bit of a nutty taste, chewy texture and an intense inky purple hue (once it's cooked). This Thai black rice is pretty versatile and you could use it in many of the same dishes that you would use wild rice in. Additionally, it's quite the healthy addition to any diet as it's high in antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, iron and is a good source of fiber.  For my first attempt at using it, I wanted to keep it uncomplicated so I opted to make a rice salad. Prowling around the Internet, I found an easy recipe by Charlie Ayers utilizing Forbidden Rice. (Charlie Ayers is the former executive chef for Google.) I liked that it had a spicy dressing, so I used that for my salad and just changed up the ingredients to what I had on hand or preferred. The result was a tasty, eye-catching salad with a bit of a kick.  Now you could also jazz this salad up by adding some chopped sweet potatoes, mandarin slices or even some shelled edamame. Or you could top it with a protein such as a ginger-sesame salmon fillet or some sliced citrus-soy marinated flank steak to make it a full meal.
[* Supposedly in ancient China, black rice was reserved only for the emperor/royal family and was not available to the public; hence, the name "Forbidden Rice."]

Spicy Forbidden Rice Salad

1 cup Forbidden Rice

1/4 cup scallions, green & white parts thinly sliced

1/2 cup Sweet Twister pepper, diced

1/2 cup English cucumber, diced

1 cup roasted/unsalted cashews, chopped

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

juice of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek

1/2 teaspoon honey

salt and ground pepper, to taste

1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

1. Put the rice, 2 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt  in a small pot or saucepan and bring to a quick boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes (until liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender).

2. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, sambal oelek, honey, salt and pepper. Set aside and allow flavors to meld.

3. When the rice is ready, remove from heat. If there is any excess water, drain. Allow to cool.

4. Once cool, place the rice in a large bowl and add green onions, Twister pepper, cucumber and cashews. Mix together thoroughly.

5. Give the dressing a quick whisk then pour over the rice salad. Mix it up really well. Taste. Add more salt, pepper, lime juice, honey or sambal oelek if needed. (If you want it spicier, up the sambal oelek.) Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
6. Serve at room temp or chill in fridge.
(with Gruyère and wheat bread)

108 degrees! Ugh! I dunno about you all but I was sweating like a pig all weekend. We had a Catholic school graduation to attend Friday night and it was balls hot in the church. They said the AC was on, but I have my doubts. On the bright side, maybe I sweated off a pound or two. Saturday night, I ended up at the Endurocross racing at The Sleeptrain Arena (is that what the name is this week?) with Mr.S. and the kidlets. I know, I all can't picture me at an event like this but I ended up having a good time. Endurocross is a super fast, intense, high endurance sport. It's similar to motocross racing but instead of just speeding around, they race over large rocks, logs, tires and even through a water pit. I especially liked watching Wally Palmer race (unfortunately, he didn't win).

Sunday cooled down considerably, thank god! Mr. S. took me to Green Acres Nursery to buy some veggie plants for the raised garden bed he made for me. How awesome is he? What was really impressive was that he made the whole thing from scratch. I absolutely love it. We planted peppers, cherry tomatoes, Japanese eggplant, cucumbers, basil and squash. Kidlet #1 wanted a watermelon plant so we planted that too. Now if they'd just grow overnight, I'd be a happy camper. (I'm soooo impatient!) Grow! Grow! Grow!

Lately I've been watching Rachel Khoo's show, "Little Paris Kitchen" online. I had checked out her new cookbook from the library recently and found that I liked the simplicity of her French recipes and how she gives each one a neat twist. (Plus she's a hapa like me and cooks in a teeny-tiny kitchen, gotta love that!) This morning I made one of her recipes for breakfast for Mr.S. and the kidlets, the Muffin Tin Croque Madame. The snack-sized savory treat got an enthusiastic thumbs up all around from my favorite little taste testers. I made some small modifications to the recipe to suit my taste but followed the recipe as is for the most part. You can see the original recipe here:  Croque Madame Muffins. By the way, the leftover Mornay sauce is absolutely delicious on a side of grits or as a dipping sauce for biscuits.

(with Cheddar and white bread)

"Muffin Tin" Croque Madame

For the Mornay (cheese) sauce:
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp milk, lukewarm (whole or 2%. Skip using nonfat, soy, almond, etc. for this recipe)
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or cheddar)
  • 3 tbps grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 6 large slices of bread, no crusts
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 oz ham, cut into cubes or thin strips or 3-4 strips of bacon chopped into small pieces
  • 6 small eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add your flour, and beat together until smooth.

3. Gradually add your milk, whisking the entire time. Add your Dijon mustard and nutmeg. Let it all simmer together for about 10 minutes. Give it a whisk every few minutes so it doesn't burn.

4. Add about 90% of your Gruyere and all of your Parmesan. Continue whisking the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Remove the crust from the bread slices and flatten each slice. You can brush both sides of the bread with melted butter, but I found just doing one side was fine.

6. Spray your 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Press each slice of bread in the muffin hole. You can used the bottom of a drinking glass but I found it just as easy to smoosh it down with my fingers.

9. Place a few pieces of ham or bacon in the bread "cup". Followed by one egg on top (you may have to pour out a little of the egg white before adding the egg, so that it fits). Top with 2 tablespoons of the Mornay sauce. Sprinkle with your leftover Gruyère. Season with some black pepper, if you wish.

10. Place the muffin tin in the oven. And cook for 20 minutes (a few minutes less, if you like your eggs on the runnier side).

11. Remove tin from oven. Use a fork or knife to pop the croque madame out. Serve while hot.

I hadn't planned on doing a post for the Hawaiian Mac Salad that I made on Sunday, but after I posted about the Kalua pig, I got about a dozen emails requesting the recipe for the macaroni salad I made to go with it.

Note, for those who haven't had it before-  Hawaiian Mac Salad is not your normal macaroni salad from the deli counter. It's tangier and sweeter, the mayo is thinned out by milk and its only extra ingredients are grated carrot, sliced scallions and small bits of celery. Also, you have to use real mayo to make this, not the lowfat stuff or Miracle Whip (gack!).

The recipe I use is from Cook's Country Magazine, from a printing that I clipped from a Bay Area paper a few years ago. It most closely replicates the Hawaiian macaroni salads I ate while on vacation in Hawaii.

Give it a go...Hawaiian Mac Salad is the perfect accompaniment for a plate lunch of Kalua pig, Huli Huli chicken or your favorite BBQ dish.

Hawaiian Mac Salad (from Cook's Country Magazine)

2 cups whole milk, divided
2 cups mayonnaise, divided (I like to use Best Foods Real Mayonnaise)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 pound macaroni elbows
1/2 cup cider vinegar
4 scallions, sliced thin
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 celery rib, chopped fine

1. To make dressing, whisk together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup mayonnaise, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper (or pepper to taste). Set aside.
2. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta and cook until very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain pasta and return to pot. (You want the pasta to be fat and soft, not al dente)

3. Add vinegar and toss until absorbed. Transfer to a bowl. Cool pasta, then stir in dressing until well-coated. Cool completely. (Don't worry, the macaroni will absorb the dressing)

4. To assemble salad, add scallions, carrot, celery, remaining milk and remaining mayonnaise to pasta mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste. Refrigerate covered for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Serves 8 people.

Man, when did it become so incredibly HOT outside? I'm definitely not one of those people who loves the sweltering heat. What's there to like? Burning my hand on my steering wheel? Sweating like a pig? Ugh. If my little cottage didn't have CH&A, I don't know what I'd do. Seriously. I don't care if that makes me seem like an entitled brat. Whenever that thermometer starts climbing past 75 degrees, my air goes on- STAT. I would never survive in the South, where they have the double whammy of heat and humidity. I'm a total wuss. So this weekend when it reached over 100 degrees,  I tried to minimize my time spent in the kitchen. On Friday night, I convinced Mr. S. that we should go out to eat...I called it a date night but in all honestly, I just didn't want to cook. We tried the new Turkish restaurant on J Street, Istanbul Bistro. Not bad. The lamb beyti kabob was heavenly. The chicken shish plate...meh, probably wouldn't order that again. It was a bit bland and the portion was skimpy for the cost ($15).

Saturday night, I headed to the wilds of Rocklin for a wonderful get together of a few food bloggers in the area, including- Bake It With Booze, Guava Rose and Tate's Kitchen. There was such a delicious array of foods and cocktails. Man, can those ladies cook! I even got to try some tasty homemade orangecello that made my made my eyes bug out on the first sip. Those Bake with Booze girls aren't messing around with their booze. That orangecello may have put some hair on my chest, it was hardcore! I loved it though. :) Sunday was spent helping Kidlet #2 with his report (I now know more than I ever wanted to about FDR), reading  my book for book club (Home by Toni Morrison, which I'm enjoying immensely) and cooking. Yep, I said cooking. I cranked up the AC and ventured into the kitchen...and I even used the oven! I guess I just can't stay out of there. I thought a little luau food would be fun for the kidlets so I braved the heat and made Kalua pig, Hawaiian mac salad and coconut rice. The kidlets and Mr.S. loved it.  It was such an easy dish to make and pork butt is so cheap, I think we'll be making it more often. We even had enough for leftovers for the next day. Kalua pork is so versatile- you can throw the leftovers in tacos and quesadillas, stuff them into sandwiches and even toss some onto a pizza. It also freezes well. The only thing that would have made that meal better, would have been a GIANT mai tai. Um...for me (not the kidlets).

Kalua Pork

5 lb. pork butt, bone in
1.5 tablespoons Liquid Smoke
2 tablespoons of Hawaiian Alaea sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Score the pork butt on all sides.

3. Rub liquid smoke and salt onto the pork butt. Use your hands to pat it into the meat.

4. Place the pork butt on a large piece of heavy aluminum foil, fat side up. Wrap the foil tightly around the meat in a tent-like fashion. Place in a roasting pan or baking dish.

5. Cook for about 4-5 hours (about 45 minutes per pound of meat).

6. When it's done, remove the pork butt from the oven and let it sit, untouched, for another 10-15 minutes.

7. Open the foil. Remove the meat from the foil and shred the meat with two forks. It'll be really tender and will fall apart easily. You can also use some of the remaining roasting liquid to moisten the pork (optional). Serve.

I know, 1st update in forever

So.. a lot has changed, and a lot is going on, but lets keep it interesting and i'll tell you about my latest news. I met someone (work related) who I think could really manage our public profile, and could give our public face the perfect female touch. The part that intrigued me the most is how much experience this person has, and how similar they are to me. Its a small world after all

The 3 ways Aaron Bitler is going to change the world in 3 years

First, I owe it to everyone who reads or might read my blog an update. I recently graduated from VA Tech (may of 2011)... something that I never thought would ever happen. Life is good.. Life is new, and exciting, and I am loving every second of it. After graduation I left good old Blacksburg and moved to Orlando where I teamed up with a company called Crunchy Logistics as the Director of Interactive Systems :) So I guess hard work, innovation and a little luck really does pay off!

So Aaron.. you have a "new life".. what are the 3 ways you are going to change the world in the next 3 years?

#1 Way I am going to change the world: Home Automation/Natural User Systems
Well first, I plan to revolutionize the way humans talk.. (actually interact) with computers. I have previously used the term NUI or Natural User Interface to describe this up and coming phenomena, but now.. after brainstorming with the real talent of this ambition, I will be using the term Natural User System.. because we have moved beyond a more natural "interface" and have made significant progress towards a more complete system that encompasses all aspects of a users life. What?!?! Ill explain...

...You wake up in the morning, about the same time you normally do.. and the shower is warming up, the fan attached to the vent is running, you get into the shower and over the speaker you just installed, a voice tells you the latest news from Hack-a-Day, Endgaget, and Popsci... after getting ready.. your about to walk out of the door, when that same computer voice says "Aaron, just to let you know there is a 70% of rain this evening, you might want to grab an umbrella"... you respond... "Computer.. (or Alice ;)... I don't have an umbrella" ...(later that day, on your way home from work, Alice reminds you to pick up an umbrella).
...get the picture?

If you have ever seen the movie Iron Man.. which I am sure you have, this narrative might remind you of that movie where the main character "talks" with his computer. Well, what you saw in that movie.. and what I just described to you might sound like science fiction.. well I can assure you it is not, in fact we are extremely close to this. All of the pieces are there.. its just that no one has put them together... until now. And that is why I am excited for the Townsend/Bitler team to demonstrate this concept and technology to the Crunchy team this Thursday/Friday.

#2 Way I am going to change the world: The STAT Box
It's late.. I have work tomorrow.. not really in the mood to explain this concept to the fullest and not sure I even could :P
In a nut shell, Imagine the xbox kinnect and all of it's glorious power, now take that power.. plug it into a statistical program with some smart algorithms.. add a cheap computer or maybe even to some computer cloud. What do you have? ...well what you have is a box that you the business man, the PR person, the researcher, the professor, can set anywhere.. add a couple of parameters, and in a few hours get un-bias, reliable statistical information. What? Ask yourself, how many people and human hours would it take to do a study on.. lets say.. "what the difference is in Orlando between the people who drink diet coke and regular coke?".. it would take a lot of human hours and a decent amount of undergrad students... yea. Now what if you put a box in front of the fountain machines, the soda aisle in the grocery store.. and in 2 weeks you came back, plugged in your little black box to your PC/MAC (through USB of course) and up came a spread sheet that told you all of the things you were looking for? Pretty powerful in my book.. but who am I to give an opinion.. I only grew up during the Internet

#3 Way I am going to change the world: The mtBAR
:) I think the title says enough

Thursday, May 5, 2011

Thank You e-mail to Gary Vaynerchuk

I would first like to say THANK YOU for...
1) coming to VA Tech
2) speaking at Tech pro bono
3) being the most interesting speaker I have heard in a long time
4) bringing charisma
5) the cool & creative stuff you gave to the students
6) ..and for really caring about the students, and staying up until every single student had a chance to talk to you, it really shows a lot of character.

In all honesty, it is people like you.. who saw an opportunity, worked their ass’s off, had a little luck, kept working their ass’s off, made it big, AND THEN “paid it forward” ..that people like me, look up to.

I really think more college kids should hear your story because I think you hit the nail on the head, on so many topics. Coming from someone who takes pride in being involved with technology before most other people, you really know your stuff. I could talk all day with you about what and how technology is going to be used in the future (near future). Coming from someone who is also an Entrepreneur, you have a great story that can/will encourage others to do something other than the 8-5 job.

I started my own company about 2 years ago.. and things worked out pretty well in the end, (I merged with another company, Crunchy Logistics.. didn't make any financial profit off the merge, but I am profiting very well in experience/knowledge.. lol) And although I am not making it big, when I share my story with other people, especially the students in the E-Club (Entrepreneur Club), their eyes light up and I can see the wheels turning.. what I am trying to get at, is that when I was in their shoes and heard other peoples stories, and when other people hear our story of how we became an entrepreneur, it helps them figure out what they want to do and encourages them.

I just thought you should know that :)

**This is the 1st half.. the rest is business**

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

Okay guys, I was going to tweet this, but after trying to break up my tweet into 2 tweets (because I was over the limit), I needed to do justice to the cause and explain whats going on.

I was lucky enough to meet GaryV in person after what I am sure was a long day, and I was told I should e-mail him... Well if you have been doing PR for as long as me.. which isnt that long at all, you have quickly learned that trying to talk to the people in charge.. the people who ultimately make the decision, basically the head honchos, is hard.. it is hard to be able to talk to them.. ill tell you another story later down the road about Jeff Han.. basically how the father of multi-touch blew me off and I will never forget it. He PROMISED me an interview for a school project... while on the phone with Jeff he said "Just e-mail me the questions you would like answered"... I e-mail them to him, a week later nothing, so I e-mail him again and a week later nothing.. So I start calling.. my project is overdue, not like he said he would do it for me or anything. It got to the point where I called him everyday, multiple times.. and left messages, and still nothing, I would have gladly taken a "no, aaron, Im busy" ..I would have even taken a Fuck you answer. It was just the simple fact that he never got back to me, that I will never forget about. (Well jeff, move over because you made me just that more determined)

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. Unless you are talking to a small company, that you will get a chance to have direct conversations with the CEO, and that is why I think this whole concept is of "Husitle 2.0" f-ing cool.

Because it is now 3:39am and it is taking me 2453451324512x longer to write I am going to wrap this up with this: The 24 hour promise is bold, and in principle freaking awesome, but with a auto response video explaining that he is just one person and cant always get to your e-mail right away, we will double the amount of hours to 48.

SO if I/we get a response in 48hrs, it is just as good as if I we got it in 24hrs, at least in my book.
I sent my e-mail at 1:45pm.. so lets see what happens!!

my Next big shift in life

Wow... Things are going to be different,

After my little adventure to Orlando this past weekend, meeting Gary Vaynerchuk, and finally taking my prescribed medication for ADHD.. which I had stopped taking for awhile to give my body a break, I came to the realization that I can + should get more out of life. From now on, I... am going to keep a better web presence!

Here is what I am going to do:

1) At least twice a week, I am going to host a online show, that will last at least 5 mins. I am not 100% what its going to be about, but it will most definitely involve technology. I realized this weekend that, I have a lot of shit to talk about, and its actually interesting and useful.

2) I will update my Blog.. this blog... at least twice a week, and it will be primary focused around my opinions and ideas.

3) I will update my twitter... which I don't even really know how to use very well (they recently made some changes) at least ONCE a day. My twitter will act like my "status update" what I am doing, what project I am working on, random ideas that suddenly pop in my head.

4) I will use facebook for primary personal reasons.. except the fan pages, which are for work. I will upload my pics to facebook. My rules for facebook are.. and have been, that I will only be your "friend" on facebook if I know you.. and are someone I could have a beer with.. or any other adult beverage.

5) Youtube and Viemo... I will be using you guys to upload my show to.

6) Blogger.. I am going to use you as my website until I figure out what I want to do about a website.. I am thinking Wix or Wordpress

7) Phone.. you as well as blogspot/blogger will keep the glue together. You guys are my central means of communication. I promise to use my phone in the most efficient way possible, with apps and settings that only help that efficiency. And.. I will try... to never let you die

8) Phone.. I am already very good at this, but just to share with the world, I will never let a miss call happen... unless I either cant hear you.. or I am in a situation where answering my phone would not be acceptable, I will always answer my phone... so I guess its a good thing I have Verizon.. sorry at&t your not reliable.

9) E-mail accounts, I am going to have you all forward to the same account, I only want 1 that I have to check.

10) E-mails! Don't worry! It's called "Hustle 2.0" and it means I will read every single e-mail I get (send to and respond within 24 hours. (If I don't.. and I can afford it, I buy you a case of beer and overnight it within the next day*)

And because I feel like 10 is a good number well stop there.

*NOTE: I cant afford to buy myself.. let alone anyone else a case of beer, but I will still answer you within 24 hours.. pinkie promise

the mtBAR comes alive!

Wow, the mtBAR! It was a huge hit at the Automate 2011 and I really think it opened everyones eyes to the potential of this technology. I could write a book about just this past week but I will keep it short. Since my first multi-touch.. about 2 years ago, I have wanted to work on a project like this.. a multi-touch bar. With a lot of hard work from a lot of different people and with some luck, the mtBAR became a success story! I have to give credit to the Crunchy Logistics team, Neil Dufva, Brandon Hill, John Hargrove, and of course myself (Aaron Bitler), for coming together to make this happen, we spent many nights and many hours to make it all work. And also the Imaging Source for allowing us to unleash our full potential.

Challenges in PR (Public Relations)

First Post!

I created this Blog so that others could learn from my experience. I recently was asked to handle all of the Public Relations for the company I work for and what a challange has it been.

After gaining some traction and booking some notable news outlets I have been struggling to book more. So far the G4 channel, and Hak5 show have confirmed they will be featuring our company's new product, the mtBAR. I also was able to get a story published in the Collegiate Times and Daily Press, but those stories were more about me than the product or company.

Although I have contacted over 50 media outlets and have sent 100's of e-mails my most recent focus has been on 4 news organizations.

Number 1: CNET, I've called them at least 10 times now, and left several voicemails, and even spoke with Molly Wood for a brief second (she thought I was someone else and said she was waiting for someone and told me to e-mail her).

Number 2: AMD, yes the same AMD that owns ATI, we are using some of ATI's best hardware, you think they would want some free publicity. NOPE.. cant get in touch with anyone. I've called and e-mail both the Public Relations person and the Marketing person and no one will answer. :(

Number 3: Orlando Sentinels Newspaper.. I am having some luck

Number 4: Chicago Tribune.. Since the trade show is in Chicago you would think they would want to cover it.

Introduction in the world

ViVi :

Yesterday we went with Uncle's U to the introduction of Sei Chan in the big world.
First we had to follow the protocol of reverence to the Princess:

Then salute Tom and make face to his demonstrative love

But te great moment of emotion was when the little girl cames from the back room:

She , first inspected the quality and quantity of the storage, so she is assured to stay in a good house,

Then looked interested in Art, after all a young lady needs some culture....
But living in France you cannot avoid the culinary tradition...

And specialities, at least the few left by the two legged

Then it's time to find some new games....

Or a big prize.....
And it's time to take your chance at the "Roulette"?

But it's important to kept the close protection with a body guard:
(After all: I'm a Princess too !)

Tom and Tama-Chan said...

Hi Uncle U! When I saw your post, I was so excited kkkkkkkkkkklk (that's me!) I tried to climb up the computer screen!

I'm discovering so many things today. The big woofie is sweet and I am having a lot of fun snarling at the other kitty princess. But the safest place still is on #1!

How is my mummy? Please give her a kiss for me!

Cheysuli and gemini said...

She is lovely!

Kaze, Latte, & Chase said...

Does mummy miss her baby? We love that you get to visit the Princesses!

AB clan said...

Mummy is happy to be home, she knew hollidays are too short and Baby has a new family

ViVi & AB

The Island Cats said...

Oh Sei Chan is so beautiful! We know she will love her new home!!

Misha said...

What wonderful pics of little Sei-Chan. I hope her fur mummy isn't missing her too much.

That One Summer Release Day Event Banner release day event one summer 6
Book: That One Summer Author: C.J. Duggan Genre: New Adult Romance Release Date: December 17, 2013 Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
 Loving Chris Henderson would be wrong. Diabolically disastrous. I mean, what is there about him to love? He’s moody, bossy, brooding, a control freak, and that’s on a good day … but there was one achingly obvious fact that haunted my every thought, every minute of every day … He sure could kiss. As the countdown to the new millennium begins, there is one thing everyone agrees on: no one wants to be in Onslow for New Year’s Eve. So that can only mean one thing: road trip! No longer the mousey, invisible, shy girl from years ago, Tammy Maskala is finally making up for all those lost summers. A new year with new friends, which astoundingly includes the bossy boy behind the bar, Chris Henderson. She likes her new friends (at least most of them), so why does she secretly feel so out of place? After chickening out on the trip, a last-minute change of heart sees Tammy racing to the Onslow Hotel, fearing she’s missed her chance for a ride. The last thing she expected to meet was a less-than-happy Onslow Boy leaning against his black panel van. Now the countdown begins to reach the others at Point Shank before the party is over and the new year has begun. Alone in a car with only the infuriating Chris Henderson, Tammy can’t help but feel this is a disastrous start to what could have been a great adventure. But when the awkward road trip takes an unexpected turn, Tammy soon discovers that the way her traitorous heart feels about Chris is the biggest disaster of all. Fogged up windows, moonlight swimming, bad karaoke and unearthed secrets; after this one summer nothing will ever be the same again. Warning: sexual references and occasional coarse language Meet the Author 1657259_origC.J Duggan is a Number One Best Selling Australian Author who lives with her husband in a rural border town of New South Wales, Australia.For more on C.J and her highly successful ‘Summer Series’, visit   Social Links

Matchstick Media Production

Online Portfolio for the Web Sites Built and Managed by Matt Slaybaugh

What I Do

My company, Matchstick, has been around since 1999 and since then we’ve created many small- and medium-scale websites and consulted for many others.

– Strategy
My primary focus now is on strategy. By looking at log files and using tools such as Google Analytics, we can see who is using a site and in what way, and then we can make decisions about how to improve the site to best achieve the goals of the site.

– SEO – Search-Engine Optimization
Search engines – specifically Google – are often the primary way new readers find sites. There are techniques we can use to make sure that people find your site.

– Site Maintenance
Development is only one part of running a website. Once the site is live and the developers have gone, there are still the weekly or monthly updates and tweaks that your current staff are too busy to do. But at the same time, there isn’t enough work to justify hiring someone even on a part-time basis. In that scenario, I can work on a regular arrangement to do a monthly or quarterly “tune-up” where I make sure your Drupal or WordPress site is up-to-date and make any content changes you need.

– Media Production
I make and maintain websites. These days I do far more customization of existing content management systems (CMSs such as Drupal, WordPress, etc.) than I build sites from scratch. Also, I now do as much user experience design, content development, and usage analysis as I do coding.

I am a generalist and think of myself more as a “web mechanic” than “web engineer”. I develop web applications and also troubleshoot other people’s applications when they don’t work.

In terms of specific skills:

I use everyday:
PHP, MySQL, CSS, Photoshop

… every month:
Flash, JavaScript, ColdFusion

… and have used:
ASP, Perl, shell scripting, AfterEffects, ProTools, and lots more

Turning Your Excitement into Action

ACN President Greg Provenzano

Wow – what a week!  We are one week into our U.S. launch of Merchant Services, and this product is already taking ACN by storm.  In fact, the idea of getting paid every time someone swipes a credit or debit card is creating momentum that we can’t possibly contain by our U.S. borders, as IBOs around the world are joining in on the excitement.  But that excitement means nothing if you aren’t turning your excitement into action.  How do you maximize Merchant Services in your business?  It’s simple: Talk to people, talk to more people and then talk to the same people again!

Step 1: Talk to People:

As soon as Merchant Services hit your storefronts, many of you immediately went out and visited the local business owners you know in your area, and understandably so.  Every business owner is looking to save money on their bottom line, and with Anovia’s no risk, no obligation rewards card promotion, a business owner would be crazy not to at least take the next step.  But don’t stop with the business owners you already know – get out in your community and talk to the owners of the businesses you frequent every day.  After all, you’re already their loyal customer – isn’t it time they became yours?  You are going to be visiting these places anyway – you might as well build your residuals in the process.

Step 2: Talk to More People

It’s not just about customer acquisition; the excitement around Merchant Services is a powerful recruiting tool as well.  Everyone swipes their credit or debit card countless times a day without even thinking about it – so anyone can understand the potential of getting paid on these swipes.  Merchant services has incredible potential to turn someone who might have previously been a “maybe” into an “absolutely”!

Step 3: Talk to the Same People Again

Speaking of recruiting, we spend a lot of time talking and training on how to approach new prospects, how to properly pique someone’s interest.  But what about people you have spoken to previously about ACN, people that perhaps weren’t interested at the time?  Those people represent a valuable recruiting resource – more so now than ever before.   We’re already hearing countless stories of people who weren’t interested in ACN before, for one reason or another, now signing up given the potential with Merchant Services.  Just because someone said “no” in the past, don’t let that stand in your way of getting them to say “yes” now.

Don’t discount what Merchant Services can mean for your business and your future.  Yes, you are excited – we are too – but being excited is just an emotion, albeit a powerful emotion, but an emotion nonetheless.  It’s easy to sit up and take notice, but it’s only when you get up and take action that your life will truly change.  Remember, if you aren’t talking to people about Merchant Services, someone else certainly is.

Until next time,

One thought on “Turning Your Excitement into Action

  1. Raymond Carter

    This is awesome and exactly what I needed to be reassured of! I know that excitement is the key but since this Merchant Service has been made available I have had a hard time sleeping knowing that so many people can benefit from this even if they don’t have a Business they may know someone who does which ultimately makes this a win win. How I wish I had more hours in a day to tell more people. I am so glad to be apart of a company that gives so much when you work hard and stay focused! Future SVP Raymond Carter.

Input Sought on Updated Vermont Outdoor Recreation Plan

The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation seeks public comment on updates to the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Plan, 2005-2009, which has expired. The document is a component of the National Park Service (NPS) planning process known as “SCORP,” which stands for Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. The new document provides a vision, goals, and actions in support of outdoor recreation endeavors throughout the State for 2013 through 2017. The draft SCORP is available for review at, or contact the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation for a printed copy. Any suggested changes, additions, or corrections should be submitted to:

Ed O’Leary at the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (; 802. 241.3683) before November 30, 2012.

Ed will also answer any questions you have about the plan. In addition, a webinar will be held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. that will include a review of the plan development process. Please follow the link above to login to the webinar 10 minutes before it starts. The public will be provided with an opportunity to ask questions and provide input.

This SCORP is required for the State to receive Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) dollars. Applicants to the LWCF will be asked to refer to the SCORP in their proposals. Since 1965 the LWCF, administered by the NPS, has provided Vermont communities and State agencies with more than $27 million towards acquisition, conservation, and development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Hundreds of recreational facilities have been developed in Vermont with more than 500 projects using funding from the LWCF. These projects include public parks, town greens, ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, skateparks, picnic areas, and playgrounds.
