Adventures in HB
Meet my adorable soon-to-be roommates. Aren't they the cutest! A couple Saturdays ago Allie & Katie, with their matching Costco mats and beach chairs, picked me up and made the drive to HB for my first real Huntington Beach beach experience. Can you believe it? Born and raised in Orange County and never been to the beach in Huntington. I know, I know. Ridiculous. Anyway, the beach was great. Too many people as predicted, but there was sand, water, and plenty of sun. Just the way I like it. Oh how I love these two!

QUIXTAR: Guerrillas in the midst
Guerrillas in the midst
October 12th, 2007
Yes, we did.
We filed suit this week in Ottawa County, Michigan seeking to learn more about a number of "John Does" who have cropped up online since our dispute with Orrin Woodward and TEAM began.
Because we believe we can prove that some of their sites and posts were engineered or directed by Woodward, TEAM, their lawyers or their PR agency. And that those sites were purposely used to post material that violates a court order.
To us, this is a necessary measure in a commercial dispute. Because we believe the TEAM machine has been fighting dirty, abusing the online discussion and end-running the court.
(It's also a necessary step in a technical sense – the companies that host these sites will not divulge information without a subpoena. You can't get a subpoena without going to court. So if you want to demonstrate that Blogger X's "spontaneous" site is actually part of a planned-and-paid-for strategy of commercial attack… that's the road you have to go down.)
So we are seeking to support the legal system – and not attack First Amendment speech. Tough line to walk, but we'll walk it. Because we believe in both principles.
It could very well be that some of these sites truly are spontaneous, just angry citizens independently voicing their opinions without direction from anyone else. We have no problem with those folks. We don't want their money, we regret wasting their time and we will even offer to reimburse their costs.
There are plenty of individuals out there posting critical comments about our company, on this site and others. We welcome the debate and value their opinions. (Don't believe that? Scan through the 4,000 comments of all stripes we've posted here since August.)
But e-guerrillas who won't own up to being bought and paid for in a commercial dispute so they can end-run a court of law are another matter. We invite them to come on out – and fight in broad daylight.
Here is the 30 John Doe suit. I *highly* suggest you read it. It is a really good read.

Are you kidding me!!! What do they have over there, a bunch of two year olds running the joint? I am so glad I resigned from these jerks...do they actually think people see them in a good light? I know from showing the plan night-in and night-out that Amway is not a positive move and now they just continue to embarrass themselves with childlike behavior. I've never seen anything like this before! Lets just bide our time and get this non-compete period behind us and move on! I certainly don't know what the future holds, but its way better than hanging out in elementary school throwing sticks and mud. Good Riddance Quixtar, Alticor, Amway...whoever you are at the moment. So long over-priced toilet paper…consider yourself flushed. Go IWIAATS! J-Dawg.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! If I were one of those bloggers I would gladly send them my name, address and phone # along with a statement saying...I was in no way compensated for my opinion except for the satisfaction of letting off steam at the injustice of being considered property, having my business destroyed by a name change, etc. I would mention that I am simply an ANGRY BLOGGER with a right to my opinion. I'd have it notorized for good measure.
but I am not an angry blogger (unless you consider the forum)
Oh well, can't wait for the future....

An open Letter to Quixtar/ Amway
My name is James Merritt.
I have posted my opinion on several blogs about "The Quixtar/Amway opportunity". And NO! I have not been paid to do so by anyone involved in your self-imposed legal quagmire. My opinion is mine and mine alone. However I can safely say that there are THOUSANDS of others that have the same view.
I will also add that I am not the "Hooded Angry Man" (although I think that it is a hillariously brilliant concept). I am not Shamus McWhatever, I did not write the Everybody's Leavin' song (wish I had) or make that incredible video. (I have however adopted it as my theme song). All of this is the creative effort of regular red blooded Americans exercising their GOD given right to free speech, and Three cheers to them for it! ----------I am merely an EX-Quixtar IBO that lost faith in "The Opportunity" after I saw the way you treated some of your best and brightest. I believe in the leadership principals of the TEAM, and have been blessed as a result of their leadership training system.
To wake up this morning and see the news story that Quixtar/ Amway is now going after people for blog posts and YouTube videos is BEYOND the depths that I previously imagined this "company" would sink to. I can't believe the "gifted" thinking on your behalf. Why don't you just let this go? This whole episode reminds me of Germany at the end of World War Two. You see they had to put up a wall to keep the residents of East Germany from seeking freedom in the west. This may ultimately prove to be a less expensive remedy compared to your ongoing legal expenses. Maybe you could offer PV on Razor wire.
What you knuckleheads don't understand is, YOU CAN'T STOP US! You CAN delay us, YES. You can throw heaps of money at your legal department and create mountains of paperwork where forests once stood. You can drag this into Hell and back and we will not quit. We will prevail. We already have. We are gone! You greatly underestimated the TEAM when you emailed the IBOs with your disparaging remarks about TEAM leadership. You are the root of this cluster**** and you will ultimately lose this ridiculous battle. All you need to do is blow us a goodbye kiss and it is finished. We are out of your hair and you can go back to building your happy little Amway Empire. You want to hold us to this fight? Well get used to the products of free speech. Yes, this is still America and that is what we are fighting for. You see, this is bigger than your precious little products. You still don't get it. I believe the longer you stay in this un-winnable fight the deeper your Amway grave will be dug. This is miserable PR, and maybe you should start listening to your marketing department instead of your out of control legal department. As If the name Amway doesn't carry enough baggage already… ?
So if you are looking for another person to sue… Add my name to your list. And maybe others that read the blogs will offer their name to the list and you can end up suing hundreds of thousands of us. So for the record, if you are looking for Spartacus…. Well then, I AM SPARTACUS!
"The good news is that there is a set of psychological traits, a moral mussel if you will that gives human beings the will, courage, and strength to do the right thing. This moral mussel, if developed and strengthened over time, enables human beings to put principal ahead of self, and to rise above self-interest and immediate gratification. This disciplined moral mussel subordinates those things that get in the way of doing the right thing. We have a name for this moral mussel. IT'S NAME IS CHARACTER".
James C. Hunter from his book "The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principal"

To all of you & especially James - WOW! James you have taken words out of my mouth, my heart, my feelings, my opinion. I am so dumbfounded at this continual grasping at 'something' possibly just air by Quixtar that I'm not even sure how to respond. They were court ordered within 24 hours of the order to send an apology out to all IBOs for the slanderous degradation and threatening email they sent out to all IBOs. Has anyone seen or rec'd this apology? I haven't. I haven't even received a confirmation of our resignation but we are not in their system any longer. We even mailed our resignation by certified mail. So far, we haven't received that confirmation either. Knowing who they are, they can and will continue to stoop to the lowest level of battering innocent people, people of character, morals, principals, integrity, and credibiity. They have none of these qualities. They only believe in their court orders, in their own County where they won, not the other counties of Michigan where they lost, and other states. Guess they feel or think they are above those laws and don't have to believe or respect those. Know they said something about respecting or believing in the legal system somewhere in that extremely childish piece of jibberish. The only integrity that was, was the father's who developed Amway. They had the integrity and principals to build in a 'protection' for the IBO/Distributor first with the ADA originally then becoming the IBOAI, before even developing the Amway Corporation. The sons have gotten lost somewhere along the way, losing what Amway and their fathers stood for. They have become filled with Greed and Power, through marriage, other entities that aren't necessarily filled with the belief system we have all been taught by the great leaders of our time, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Dr. Rohm, John Maxwell, James C Hunger of The Servent, Bruce Wilkinson of The Dream Giver, Gary Chapman of The 5 Love Languages, even C. Mason Weaver of 'It's Ok to Leave the Plantation, and of course our own TEAM leadership and their insights and wisdom and Godly manners and thinking and giving. It is such a shame that the people of Quixtar do not see that we are people learning how to live a better life, learn leadership, help others become successful in life and business - it's not about products. One can get products and services anywhere. They are material things. We feel sorry for them and the road they have chosen. They only know about money & power and think that is the key to life, to control others vs leading others to a better way of life. We believe we live in the United States of America, the land of the FREE, and Home of the BRAVE. They've lost so many thousands of IBOs.....are they in a form of 'mental' shock? They're not intelligent enough to figure it out that there are just that many hurt, disgruntled, angry, frustrated ex-IBOs out here. All they know is their product/selling Amroids making a little bit of money off and on who are making money for the Empire. We are hurt people who've put almost 18 yrs of our life into believing in something only to get kicked and walked on by their total deception. We only hung in there because of our loyalty to our leadership and we will continue to stay loyal to our leadership, our TEAM. It is through them and them alone (God first, the TEAM) that we have learned to be better people, treat people better, understand people better, have a better family life, work at bring our dreams and the dreams of others to fruition.
Quixtar - why you don't you just leave well enough alone, pick up your toys & go home like good little kiddies. Take time to read your non-sense of a Code of Conduct that is full of contradictions - one rule contradicting another - it's absolutely nuts!
Leave us good people alone to go our own ways, wait out the illegal waiting period imposed on us within the last 2-3 yrs by Quixtar, so we can move forward into a bigger and better future.
Bloggers - Ex-IBOs who are sick of all this mess and control of Quixtar, what we all need to do is flood the Federal Trade Commission with complaints. With enough complaints, they will have to research the Company again - one would hope.
We are 100% with the Free, the Faithful, the Hopeful, the Believers, the Visionaries, the Leadership of TEAM!

Chicago (PRWEB) October 2, 2008
The new travel reality of unfavorable exchange rates, high fuel costs, and a fragile economy has led honeymooners to deviate from established planning norms. Simply choosing a dream destination is no longer "the key factor" for many couples, as planning behavior has changed in a number of important ways over the past year.
While cost has always played a role in the choice of destination, a weak dollar and lofty airfares are forcing some honeymooners to consider their options more carefully, often including locales that may not have been on their original list. Countries aligned with the Euro, in particular, appear to be feeling the effects as newlyweds seek out better-value alternatives.
"While our clients are showing less interest in perennially popular honeymoon spots like France, Italy and French Polynesia," explains Howard Green, CEO of MoonRings, "Interest has increased in more unusual locales, like Argentina, Croatia, and Bali, which still offer bang for the buck."
Today's financial uncertainty is also impacting the way honeymooners approach the use of loyalty programs. Once a secondary concern for many, trying to utilize frequent flier miles or hotel points has now become a top priority.
"In the past, couples seemed to make use of loyalty programs primarily when they fit with their ideal itinerary," says Green. "Now, however, we are seeing additional flexibility with more people settling for second or third choice destinations and/or hotels if there are loyalty program options available."
The less-than-predictable state of travel has had another unusual effect - an apparent change to the traditional planning timeline. On one hand, honeymooners with frequent flier miles to burn are initiating the planning process earlier than ever in an effort to secure hard-to-get seats. On the other hand, many couples are moving to a last-minute strategy, possibly compelled to wait until their wedding costs are finalized, or perhaps in hopes of finding a deal at the eleventh hour.
Even in an unstable travel environment, there is still hope for those desiring a trip of a lifetime. Mr. Green offers honeymooners the following five suggestions:
Don't procrastinate - Plan early to maximize flight and hotel choices and have the best opportunity to use miles/points.
Remain loyal - Earn as many points as possible within one airline, hotel group or credit card program. Choose programs, such as Starwood Preferred Guest, that offer a broad range of hotel types around the world. Charge wedding expenses to chosen loyalty card.
Utilize a wholesaler - In addition to discounted airfares and room rates, many wholesalers have the ability to lock in current exchange rates now, while still allowing travelers to take advantage of better exchange rates in the future should rates move in a favorable direction.
Stay flexible - While not always desirable or feasible, shifting travel dates to the shoulder or off season can often result in better value.
Get creative - Consider setting up a honeymoon registry to help defray costs.

I used to have a pothos plant hanging in our bathroom many years ago, but we removed it and the bathroom has had no plant for maybe 10 years or more now. I was wondering if i could use the hook on the chieling to hang some sort of bromeliad in front of the window? i think the window faces North, does not get direct light obviously, but it gets some reflected light from outside. do you think this will be enough for any bromeliads? maybe some Tillandsia species can be suspended from the ceiling in a humid bathroom environment? or can any of the broms i already have be suspended like this? I have aechmea and guzmania. both are supposed to grow a bit too big, and i think their shape makes them awkward for hanging since they would want light hitting them from the top not the side, but Tillandsia might like light coming in from the side and can bend towards it right?
just wanting to hear everyone's suggestions. thanks!


text: A couple of weekends ago we were in the North of England; more about that at a later date. I was surprised to see so many Great White Egrets around that far north. One settled. It was against the light, a bit 'sticky' and still quite distant but I thought it made an effective subject.

Another wet Sunday when I never stepped off the boat. David got the papers and breakfast and I read the papers in bed with tea and croissant.
We had the ransom demand from Columbia last week - we'd been expecting it. Caroline left work for South America last September so she would be getting short of cash eventually.
The picture is of one of Santa's little helpers from the illuminated boat parade earlier this month.
This card I made as a leaving card for an Asian girl who was moving to a new job. The likeness was quite striking. The stickers are sort of cushioned so they stood out from the card. The backing paper was made on the computer and said "Girls just want to have fun".

Ireland is so pumped about the new Star Wars film that they've turned their monument "The Spire of Dublin" into a giant blue lightsaber, and it's wicked cool.
The 350 foot tall spire was built in 2002 and commissioned to be "elegant and dynamic simplicity bridging art and technology."
Based on its current form, experts believe it's now bridging delicious Guinness with unbridled nerdity.

Nutrition month is about personal choices
Published 4:16 pm, Friday, March 22, 2013
The theme of this year's National Nutrition Month is "Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day," and according to a nutrition expert at Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu), nutrition decisions come down to each person's individual tastes.
"Losing weight is all about calories, portion control and physical activity, but it all comes down to your tastes and what makes you happy," said Molly Gee, registered dietitian with BCM. "You have to ask yourself if you'll be happy with the reduced fat or lower fat version of certain foods, or if you'll be happy eating a smaller amount of a specific food."

Gee said that if you're making sacrifices on your favorite foods but are not satisfied, sticking to the nutrition plan becomes increasingly difficult.
The food industry has been responsive to people's needs to eat healthier, so there are multiple versions of foods in the grocery store, such as low-fat and low-calorie options. It's up to each individual to decide which foods they are willing to sacrifice, whether skipping some foods altogether or simply passing over the full-fat or full-calorie versions.
"Each person has something they're watching out for, whether it's sodium or sugar or fat, and there's not a single perfect food out there that will help everyone achieve their goals," said Gee.
She also emphasizes that there is not one single food that will totally destroy your health or waistline - that's where portion control comes in.
Gee also offers the following reminders for maintaining a healthy diet:
•Establish regular meal and snack times
•Don't go without eating for longer than four hours
•Don't skip breakfast
•Fill up on fruits and vegetables
•Try to drink water every time you eat and in between meals and snacks
Gee emphasizes that although there is a trend toward more natural and organic foods, these foods are not necessary to maintain a healthy diet.
"There is no research to show that they are better for you, but if they make you feel better and if you can tell a difference in taste, then go for it," she said.
To make a healthy diet sustainable, it has to meet you and your family's lifestyle, Gee said.
"Sometimes people get confused about healthy eating decisions, but there is no right or wrong, just be practical and not perfect," she said.
She also said to check with your physician to be sure that your diet is fulfilling the micronutrients that your body needs.

text: Maestros of Messaging August 31, 2017 The 2017 Independent Banker Social Media and Marketing Leaders are shining examples of the power of effective, creative messaging. By Carissa Hampton The 2017 ICBA Independent Banker Social Media and Marketing Leaders are sponsored by WebbMason Marketing For decades, community banks have reigned as leaders of relationship building (and lending). But with a range of new marketing techniques and digital channels, community banks are proving just how powerful their stories of camaraderie, friendship and trust can be when they are shared across social platforms. The four community banks chosen for recognition in this year's Independent Banker Social Media and Marketing Leaders, sponsored by WebbMason Marketing, did much more than tell a story to their audiences. Instead, these banks became immersed in their communities by marrying digital communications with the relationship building ingrained in community banking. The marketing efforts of these community banks are not only driving new business and creating powerful branding for the banks themselves; they are also inspiring other local and small businesses to experiment with new digital strategies. Themes of tight-knit communities, friendship and coming together during trying times continue to resound in community bank messaging, but our winners demonstrate that the industry is grabbing the attention of online audiences in increasingly captivating ways. Congratulations to our 2017 Social Media and Marketing Leaders! FNB Bank, Inc. Mayfield, Ky. Marketing Leader: Website Relaunch and Partner Stories Videos While a website relaunch might have been FNB Bank's goal, its visual depiction of community banking, the customers served and neighbors affected goes above and beyond. From farmers to florists to hair stylists, FNB Bank's Partner Stories videos welcome viewers into bank customers' lives and highlight the extraordinary impact the $454 million-asset community bank's network has on the region. FNB's video series illustrates the range of customers that community banks service, a task that can be difficult to depict in plain text. "Whether it be having a trusting relationship with their lender or giving a startup company a chance to succeed, we want to highlight both sides of the relationship," says Brooke Wiles, associate vice president and director of marketing at FNB Bank. The video content was developed for specific pages throughout the fresh new website, but it has proved to be evergreen content that the community bank can share gradually across its social media channels. "Partner Stories have allowed FNB to highlight our local business community," says Wiles, "all while successfully increasing our social presence on our Facebook page." thinkfnb.com OneUnited Bank Boston, Mass. Marketing Leader: Pride Campaign By immersing itself in a cause close to its heart, OneUnited Bank connected with its audience in a profound way. The $661 million-asset community bank, which has branches in Boston, Miami and Los Angeles, aimed to bring awareness to the growing social and collective economic justice movements in the African-American community through live video, compelling art and fresh content. It challenged its audiences to consider their communities and local economies in a new way. "It's critically important to make sure that the community you serve—both locally and online—understands the causes and ideals that are of value to the bank," says Rochelle Hinds, social media marketing manager at OneUnited Bank, which bills itself as "the nation's largest black-owned bank." The social media and marketing campaigns, spearheaded by the #BankBlack and #BuyBlack hashtags, helped OneUnited grow its Facebook community by 1,227 percent. Debuting its "Amir" debit card art, by artist Addonis Parker, in Times Square for the world to see was a highlight of the campaign, but tracking more than 1.75 million engagements will help it nurture the resulting relationships and interactions for years to come. oneunited.com River Valley Bank Wausau, Wis. Social Media Leader: Victims Family Fund Campaign It's no secret that community banks are vital to their communities during times of need. Earlier this year, after a tragic event, River Valley Bank went further by using social media to drive outreach and support from neighbors, media and other businesses in the region. When four people, including two tellers from a neighboring bank, were killed in a shooting in March 2017, River Valley Bank sprang into action, developing a plan to bring the region together in support of the victims' families. Throughout the 10-week social media campaign, the $1.14 billion-asset community bank used its social media channels as a platform to raise funds for victims and organize fundraising events, increasing its reach by more than 1,333 percent. rivervalleybank.com Fidelity Bank Social Media Leader: #FidelityFam Campaign Fidelity Bank's commitment to "helping Louisiana small businesses grow bigger, and better than ever" is evident in its feel-good videos, which entertain while tugging on the heartstrings. Cheers!—Justin Boswell of Wayward Owl Brewery (l) was the subject of one of Fidelity's "Fidelity Frenzy" videos. The videos, which feature the $781 million-asset community bank's small-business customers, draw audience members into a world of local salons, rare-coin dealers and breweries. The stories are simple and authentic, revealing as much about the wider community as they do about Fidelity Bank's friendly employees. "Social media has helped to build our brand internally and externally," says Tammy O'Shea, chief marketing officer for Fidelity Bank. "Our social media strategy is to educate, humanize our brand and showcase our commitment to the communities we serve." bankwithfidelity.com A word from our sponsor, WebbMason Marketing—an ICBA Preferred Service Provider Innovation takes courage to fail Why disrupting the status quo is an effective marketing strategy. When people hear the word "innovation," it conjures coolness: an amazing scientific breakthrough, brilliant in its simplicity, from the mind of a genius. It feels like the business synonym for "sexy"—the Silicon Valley world of deep pockets, cutting-edge products and shrewd millennials—with little place in the more traditional, risk-averse marketing departments of the banking and finance industries. Fortunately, that's not what innovation is. Innovation is dustier, scrappier, tougher and slower than that. It's the ongoing process of mistakes and lessons, incremental failures and advancements. Innovation always begins with a smart notion but has unexpected results, with important twists and turns along the way. When we assume it comes quickly and naturally, we are set up for failure and frustration. So here's the question: Do you have the courage to fail? Does your institution encourage the notion that small mistakes can lead to giant successes? Think about your next company meeting: Will employees share ideas that might fix an internal issue or help your organization grow? If that happened, how would the room react? If your boss encourages employees to be correct, if the status quo takes precedence over risk and whiteboard ideas are stifled by red tape, you're in the majority: thinking and, perhaps, growing, but not innovating. Innovation is a by-product of courage: Leaders and teams who aren't afraid to fail, each time inching closer to an answer that eventually feels like an aha moment. Innovators keep pushing, because they know the right solution is out there. Social media: What works (and what doesn't)? Social media can be a powerful tool for community banks—but it's not as simple as sending out a few tweets. Our dos and don'ts will guide you. By Carissa Hampton If your community bank is used to advertising in traditional media like local newspapers and billboards, the fast-paced world of social media can seem a little like the Wild West. But platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter actually fit well with the community bank ethos: They allow direct contact with customers and the chance to build a community online. And just as with traditional media, there are best practices that community banks should follow when building a social presence. DO think about where your customers are Platforms like Instagram and Snapchat can be a great way to reach millennials and younger customers, while Facebook has the widest reach. LinkedIn is a good platform for targeting small-business customers. Pro tip: Stick to an 80:20 ratio, with 80 percent of your posts comprised of added-value content and 20 percent made up of promotional messages. DON'T think one size fits all While it can be exciting to try out newer social media channels like Snapchat, make sure you're posting tailored information, images and video for each channel's audience, and be sure to commit to a new channel rather than dabbling in it and then letting it fade away. DO interact with local and small-business content To encourage engagement and attract followers, make an effort to interact with the social media accounts of your small-business customers, local leaders and nonprofits. By showing an interest in community members' lives and work, your bank will highlight exactly what makes community banking so great: relationships. DO spice up your posts with images Social media posts with images, videos or even animated GIFs can attract up to five times more engagement than those with no image. And, these days, it's easier than ever. Free and paid tools make it simple to create perfectly sized images and GIFs. My favorite tool is drag-and-drop graphic design software Canva, which offers limited capabilities for free, and enhanced options for a reasonable monthly fee. DON'T stick to product news Having great new products and resources to share with your customers and prospects is never a bad thing. But mixing in valuable information, articles, blog posts, quotes and community involvement opportunities will improve your engagement and make your audience more receptive to your promotional posts. DO get the word out Your team is busy. Consider keeping a running list of news, events, sponsorships and fresh offerings that you can share internally by email or on your bank's intranet. Employees can then easily find things to post using their own accounts. Consider providing some context and links to make sure they have the information they need. Pro tip: Don't post the same exact content across every social media channel. Instead, customize your content with platform-appropriate images and words, and vary the times when posting similar content. DON'T do it yourself Make it easy for employees to share your bank's content by providing pre-made posts for them to use. Want to make it even easier? Take advantage of tools like ClickToTweet, which allows you to paste your premade tweets into the tool and generate a link that will then paste the tweet directly into your colleagues' Twitter editors. All they have to do is press "send." No more copying and pasting. Pro tip: GIFs and emojis are big right now. Try asking your followers to respond to a question using only emojis or a GIF. DON'T talk at your audience Create more engagement with questions and polls that promote conversations and sharing right in your community bank's feed. As a bonus, you'll get to know your customers and prospects even better than you already do! Carissa Hampton (email@example.com) is content marketing manager for ICBA.

Delinquency Fight Drags in Arkansas LITTLE ROCK (AP)-A consultant to the United States Children's Bureau told the Arkansas Training School Board Tuesday that the state was "dragging its feet in this war to oombat juvenile delinquency." Raymond L. Menella o.f Washington, D.C., who was asked by the board to help it work out a plan for desegregating the four training schools to comply with a federal court order and reorganize the training program, said, however, that other states had similar problems. ManeJUa,;Said. the. i ormation of a Diagnostic and classification center through which all juveniles committed would be chan- nelled, was an important innovation, which the board had already proposed. The consultant visited the four schools and said he would send his suggestions to the board in a few days. Manella said a major obstacle in Arkansas is the lack of funds for establishing new programs in the schools. Honorary Colonels Hurt SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) New Mexico Secretary of State Ernestine Evans, a Democrat, says the number of honorary colonels in the state is damaging her budget. She says Republican Gov. David Cargo has comm'ssioned 4,600 honorary colonels as aide de camp to the governor since he took office in January 1967. He sent another batch of 250 commissions to her office this week, she says.

The question of the stay arose at the governor's meeting with Negro leaders Tuesday when attorney Edward Trimble asked Rockefeller if he would commute the sentences of three o* his Negro clients on death row. "I can assure you those sentences will be stayed until we see how the Supreme Court rules," Rockefeller said. "I will not set a date for an execution."

I had a great dinner with the couple who's going to be doing a committment ceremony. They are such sweetness. It's amazing how they are still themselves even while together. Is it just me who completely loses my personality and fire when I'm with someone?
Well, I'm on fire now.
Not done writing but I see the manuscript now. About half assembled, the rest already seems to have its place, you know?
I knocked out last night after dinner, after reviewing some pieces I only have hard copies for. Woke up this morning at 4, 4:30, 5:15 and finally 5:30 to get back to work. I feel like I should have stayed up later but I'm not torturing myself. Worse, it took me forever to get to sleep anyway. I was missing Cliffy and wanted to call her. I wanted her to be a part of my completing this manuscript and, when I saw my initial cover page and working title [The Year of the Soup] I realized I had dedicated it to her. I realize though, that, it seems more appropriate to dedicate it to this last year. More than anything, this year was like the kind of teachers you hate but you realize, after, that they taught you more than any other had before. So, despite missing her, I did stay in bed and did not call her. I truly needed sleep. When I was young I could stay up 2 or 3 days, on fumes, and get my work done all while hitting the subconscious. Now, mama feels it!
I went to Tigrette's school this morning to pick up her materials and books. Her teacher is going to miss her. She even gave me a hug. She did tell me the little one made Honor Roll (woo hoo!) and would mail her certificate to her.
Okay, so I have to go - heading to SA to finish the winning manuscript and make some copies at a "borrowed" copier. I think I can "borrow" a postage machine too... Need to do a search on the 24 hour post office down there. Tigrette already told me she'd help me mail it off, put a blessing on it. Help me out - lift you hand, bless my package from wherever you are. Blessings back to you too.

PFC Nathan Edward Marks was born 3 Jan 1921 in Jackson County, Ohio. He was the oldest of 3 children and only son born to Issie and Mae Elizabeth (Heading) Marks. Nathan was named for his grandfather who had immigrated from Russia in what is now Poland. The family name was originally "Marx" but was apparently changed to the more "English" "Marks" in reaction to the anti-German sentiment that swept the United States during WW1. Nathan attended Oak Hill High School and the family lived in Oak Hill, Ohio. Nathan's father worked as a brick mason who reported a 1939 income of $900. By that time Nathan was working as a laborer in a nursery and he reported a 1939 income of $180.
Nathan entered the Army in August 1942. After training he was sent to England and assigned to L Company 116h Infantry
and trained with the unit for the invasion of Nazi occupied France. He landed with the unit on Omaha Beach and fought with them until he was killed in action on 8 Aug 1944 near Vire, France.
PFC Marks rests in the Brittany American Cemetery.
Sister, Maxine Elva Marks, joined the Cadet Nurse Corps. Grandfather Isaac Headings served in A Company 1st Ohio Artillery during the Civil War.

There are five nest boxes, only two are being used by all 13 hens. The reason I think it is the leghorns taking too long, it seems there is blood around the nest boxes after they lay an egg. They are bloodied around their combs and eyes. I fell horrible, I'm not sure which one of the remaining 11 is doing it, and have no clue as to how to find out. The latest battle was this morning, within an hour after I went back in the house. I see no fighting at all when I peruse thru the window checking on them unnoticed, and when I observe them in the coop, so it's not a matter of them seeing me and backing off. SHould I isolate just the two leghorns? I have a large dog cage in the coop to isolate a few, but I fell awful about the two bloodied ones. I mean, they are flighty anyway, but still they are good hens. They also have the largest combs of all the hens, maybe that could be why? Help

I signed up for Jessica and Ashlee's super fun 'Just Add Color' fall swap. We were matched up with one other blogger and we had to send each other a scarf and a nail polish. How fun is that?!!
I was matched up with Mariah..a fellow OOTD girl.
When the UPS man dropped off my package I swear I 'squeed' and did a happy dance right in the living room. My husband shakes his head at me a lot. I can't understand why. I had also received my first birchbox that day too. So it was a FABULOUS mail day.
The package came at the perfect time because the weather dipped the very next day and I was able to sport my brand new plaid scarf. I love the purple and blue in this scarf. So fun! It was exactly the POP I needed for my outfit.
I'm sure you notice in the above picture (AND in the pictures below) that my nails are blue. In my birchbox I received a sample size bottle of Zoya polish in Noel. I had TWO new nail polish to try. What was I suppose to do but paint my nails one color and my toes another?
I am currently sporting my swap nail polish, Sally Hansen 'All Fired Up', on my toes.
My FAVORITE thing about this polish is the wand. I've never seen one like this, but they should ALL be like this. It's short and wide..instead of long and thin. It made painting my toe nails super easy!
|GGrrreeaatt picture of my double chin and the polish wand.
I was beyond thrilled with my package! Mariah was a great swap partner and I cannot wait to see her post about how she styled the scarf I sent her!!

So on Saturday Hermana Webb wasn't feeling good enough to go out so we took her to stay at a member's home for the day. Sadly, she's still sick. She stayed with an older couple that goes to one of the English wards and they were really nice! So when Hermana Webb stayed there Hermana Peacock and I went out to our set appointments.
One of the appointments we had set was at 8:00 with the Hernandez family. They are the members that introduced our investigators, the Ayalas, to the church! Which is awesome because the Ayala's are GOLDEN! Their baptismal date is set for February 28th!!! :)
Anyways, we wanted to help the Hernandez family continue with their missionary work and try out some of the tips we just received from training. BUT, when we got to their house at 8:00 nobody answered the door! No one was home. :(
We heard the neighbors talking and we decided to go over and talk to them on the porch. We ended up talking to Ricky and Jermaine who are father and son. Jermaine especially had a lot of questions and he already knew some stuff about our church. We ended up giving them the information for other missionaries and the address of the church. We also gave Jermaine a Book of Mormon. They also said we could come back and teach them any time. Hopefully missionaries can teach them real soon!
I can't tell you enough how much I am learning and growing on my mission. One thing I've learned recently is that members working with missionaries is the key! Please, don't be afraid to try to share the gospel with others. It really is part of our purpose to share the gospel with others!
Moses 1:39- "For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
I also want to share the scripture 2 Nephi 5:27 in the Book of Mormon,
"O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?
And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am I angry because of mine enemy?
Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.
Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation."
When I read this scripture I thought of a lot of things but one of them was that we shouldn't just give up when we go through hard things. We need to always try to follow God and never give up hope. This scripture also made me think that we have the power to choose.
The scripture says, "Oh my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul." The enemy is Satan and he will try to get into our hearts but we can choose to not let him in. And if he does get in, we can choose to allow him to stay there or not. I think this scripture says a lot about our personal responsibility for our own actions and persevering to the end.
I just love scripture study! There's so much to learn. Oh and I was asked to give my testimony in church this past Sunday. That was fun :)
Les Quiero Mucho!Hermana Soliz
|We're infected!! JK, Hope me and Hna Peacock don't get sick too!

NEW BRITAIN — Tamika Humphrey cruised down Stanley Street Friday morning on the road to a brighter future.
With her 6-year-old daughter, Kaira, in the back seat, the 21-year-old single mother took the wheel of the silver 1994 Ford Escort that will enable her to begin college and make the 4-mile commute to her job. She no longer will have to take multiple buses or trek across the city on foot to reach her destinations.

If you're having a bad day and wish you were somewhere else, look away – because these photos will probably make it worse.
What do you look for in a luxury holiday? The destination? Sure. Experiences? Definitely. But most importantly? Your luxe accomodation.
Villas have become some of the best, most private luxury accomodation around, and for good reason – who doesn't want a home away from home with a king size bed and spa bath? And who cares about heading to the resort or hotel pool when you have one all to yourself?
These are just a few of the perks luxury villas provide – and we've got the best of the best, right here. No one does villas better than InterContinental Resorts, (did someone say award-winning?) so we've got some killer snaps of their South East Asia crown jewels.
Try not to cry with jealousy when you look at the pictures though, kay?
1. The InterContinental Pattaya Resort
This beach front resort overlooks the glittering Gulf of Thailand, and merges traditional Thai inspirations and elegant modern amenities to provide an amazingly authentic resort experience.
Seriously, just look at these oceanfront views.
The spacious Oceanfront Villa offers a luxuriously exclusive beachfront experience. Separate living and dining areas lead to a sun-soaked deck where, via a private infinity pool, you can take in the majestic unsurpassed views to Koh Larn Island. And did we mention the open-plan bathroom with the huge terrazzo bathtub for two?
2. The InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort
A fave among honeymooners, this Thailand resort lies on the unspoiled west coast of Koh Samui – and is perfect if you want an intimate escape complete with stunning panoramic views of the Five Islands.
The Club Beachfront Pool Villa has everything you've been missing – from a private pool, deck and spa amenities to a fully stocked wine bar. Yes. Please.
Pair that with round-the-clock butler service, a personal chef and the resorts huge infinity pool and you've got relaxation and luxury sorted.
3. The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort
Head to Vietnam and find this award-winning resort, nestled in a secluded bay on the Son Tra Peninsula. It has excellent views of the East Sea – and it's beachfront villas are the star of the show.
The best of the best is the Sun Peninsula Residence Villa, which has not one but two infinity pools and private beach access. Compare this with a personal balcony, en-suite bathrooms and a fully equiped kitchen and you'll never want to leave.
4. The InterContinental Hua Hin Resort
Head to this beachside resort on the Gulf of Thailand to be treated like royalty; literally. This paradise is a fave among the Thai Royal Family – and blends modern-day sophistication with local cultural elements.
The resort has two VIP Villas, with private pools and marbled bathrooms. Nothing says luxury like marbled bathrooms (or bath amenities by Bvlgari). And if you feel like you need even more of the royal treatment – fly straight from Bangkok on the resorts own private jet.
5. The InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa
Okay, this one's not technically in South East Asia, but it definitely deserves a mention. Just look at this aerial view:
Just send us there. In a private villa you're surrounded by crystal clear water, while the resort itself overlooks the lagoon and is enveloped by lush greenery.
The Overwater Motu Villa Suite has floor-to-ceiling windows for optimal views and is inspired by traditional Polynesian fare houses. We haven't even been yet and we already don't want to leave.

text: Setting the Scene arrives! Mon, Nov 14 2011 08:19 | Permalink Just received my copy of Fraser Maclean's Setting the Scene: The Art & Evolution of Animation. If you are in animation or looking to enter the world of animation - this book is a must. Layout is an integral and extremely important part of the animation process. The better a scene or sequence is planned out in layout, the better prepared it will be for animation, background painting and eventually final camera - or what would now be compositing. I have only just started to peruse the book, but I can already tell Fraser has done his homework. It's an awesome resource to have and will benefit anyone not matter what your job is in animation.Great job Fraser!! -steve Comments (2) Fraser's new book!

This is definitely one for the pantheon of great character animation books. I put it on my must have list for any serious student of the craft: along with the Illusion of Life, Richard William's Animators Survival Kit and the Preston Blair books. If you have these you pretty much don't need much else. The best thing by far with Eric's book is the included DVD which includes clips illustrating each animation concept. It really helps to see all the various animation concepts so clearly articulated on paper and then see them in motion. I thought it was brilliant that he also put the charts on the dvd clips so you could figure out the timing as you stepped thru each clip.Most of the material has been covered in the other books mentioned above but it is always good to have another reiteration of the rules of good cartoony animation. I always discover something new either when re-reading these books or getting a fresh new take like Eric's on the subject. I think the chapter on dialog is especially good, since pretty much the only other info out there is pretty much just a couple of pages in the Preston Blair books. Unfortunately if a young animator just follows the Blair examples the results are usually not pretty. Eric shows how it is important to figure out the accents and how to properly figure out what is important for the dialog to read. He makes clear that the lips are the last thing to think about and that acting and body attitude are much more important. But he doesn't give short shrift to the actual lip sync and has several tips that will help any mouth action look better and animate more smoothly.At the end of the day this book is chock a block with great little animation tips that are sure to set your animation above the run of the mill. If you haven't added it to your animation library go and order it today. Now I can't wait for Eric's book on directing, whenever that comes out.-hoops -hoops Comments (1) New Look! Sat, Nov 8 2008 10:57 | Permalink Same great info! -steve Comments (2) Eric Goldberg's Animation Crash Course Coming Soon!!! Fri, Jun 20 2008 07:54 | Cool Stuff | Permalink About eight years ago we had just completed an opus work of note recompilation having taken the gritty xerox copies of Eric Goldberg's famous animation notes, and turned them into nicely formatted PDF's with searchable text. We had posted the first couple chapters up on the site when I got an email from my good friend Mark Pudleiner who was working with Eric at Disney. It turned out that Eric had finally started turning his notes into a book and had asked us to take down the notes. We ended up giving Eric all our PDF's hoping that it would speed up the production of his book.Unfortunately the book took another eight years to get from Eric's mind into our hands, but I think the wait will have been worth it. I just got email from Eric and his book , Character Animation Crash Course! is coming out on Amazon next month. You can pre-order it now. The bonus is Eric decided not to just recompile his notes, he is giving us a cd full of animation tests and x-sheets to go along with all the examples he had to begin with. You will be able to examine stuff frame by frame, and see in real time all of his fabulous animation examples.From the looks of it this will be probably one of the most informative books on animation to ever be produced. If you are a student of animation I would run, not walk, to get this book. Eric is a master of the cartoony style of animation we all know and love, and if you want to master cartoony animation there is now a way to see inside this master cartoonists brain. It will go alongside The Illusion of Life, Richard Williams' Animators Survival Kit, and the Preston Blair books as one of the go to books for learning the craft of cartoon animation.Here is a blurb from the email Eric sent out today announcing the availability of his new tome:"Well, the animation book I've been writing for 25 years, based on my animation notes, has finally arrived! Well, almost... Character Animation Crash Course!, published by Silman-James Press, is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. It's 240 pages of cartoon goodness, all geared to getting great performances from your characters on the screen. It comes with an accompanying CD that has animation movie files of selected sequences in the book. You can watch them in real time, or frame-by-frame, and they all include X-sheets, inbetween charts, circled keys, and underlined breakdowns, so the tests can be analyzed while you read the book, revealing how the principles actually look in movement and why. Shipping date might be as early as mid-July. Also, I'll be premiering it at the San Diego Comic-Con, signing copies at Stuart Ng Books, Friday July 25th from 2 - 4, and Saturday July 26th from 11 -12. Also, the book provides examples from classic cartoons that can be pretty easily-accessed"Anyway I'm about as stoked as anyone can ever get about this book. I can't wait.Pre-Order it on Amazon-hoops -steve Comments
