Checks, credit cards, and bank transfers work for me.
Rates will vary based on services and scope of the work. Though, I typically charge a project-based fee or an hourly fee.
After services and scope of the work are defined, several factors play into these rates: your business, the market, and competition. This will give me an approximate gauge of the time and resources that will be needed to complete your project.
A: No, results cannot be guaranteed or predicted in the ever-evolving world of Internet Marketing. For a more detailed response, see the question below.
A: The short answer is no.
Results in SEO cannot be guaranteed. The truth is digital marketing and SEO is constantly changing. It's at the whim of Google's algorithm (technologies that are constantly being updated) which is why it's impossible, and probably irresponsible, for anyone to guarantee results.
Furthermore, the execution of successful marketing campaigns will take time. If you expect to see results in 30 days, I can tell you that you'll be disappointed. Successful campaigns are born out of creative ideas. Those ideas need to be nurtured by testing the waters and re-evaluating strategies until you get it just right. Goldilocks didn't quit until she found the porridge that was just right. You shouldn't either.
My piece of advice: if another business claims to guarantee rankings, or overnight results for that matter, run the other way as fast as you can.
As for me, I always put my all into client work. You should be patient and confident in the strategy we devise. If you're not confident from the start or are unsure about my abilities, then we might not be the best fit for one another.
A: Yes, it's counterproductive and unhealthy to be forced into continuing a business relationship when you're unhappy. I'm happy to release you from your contract at any time. You will however, be responsible for paying for the work completed should you quit without 30 days notice.
Teamwork and collaboration. Consider our relationship a partnership; I'm unable to be successful without your cooperation.
If you want to be like one of those amazing brands that dominates the search results and earns links effortlessly, then you'll need to do great things.
I can guide you and even do some of the work, but ultimately this comes from you. Cooperation is one of the most important things in a client relationship and the success of your marketing campaign depends on it.
A: Rest assured, the quality of my work will compare with (and in many cases exceed) that of larger, more traditional SEO agencies.
Because I lack the overhead costs typically found at larger agencies, I'm able to offer you a more competitive price without sacrificing quality of work. With no employees or an office to manage, I can offer rates that leave more wiggle room in your budget.
Furthermore, I pride myself on being an honest and reasonable person. I'm not in the business of draining bank accounts. Just the opposite, I want to help you grow them. While SEO is certainly worth the investment, I want to help you manage those costs to the best of my ability.
A: Link building is an important and integral part of any online marketing strategy. In fact, links still form the very foundation of Google's algorithm and until that changes, they'll continue to be important.
What's changed is not the weight behind the links, but how Google polices the ways in which you acquire them. Over the years, Google has gotten increasingly aggressive in how they enforce their quality guidelines and penalize those participating in link schemes.
Google creates the guidelines. If you want to flourish in their arena and stay out of their holding cell, then you need to play by their rules. This means losing the hunter mentality when building links for your business and switching to a farmer's mindset, one that will nurture and grow a brand over time.
If you're interested in taking a natural and organic approach to building links, I can help with that.
A: The Internet is growing and progressing at tremendous speeds and so is the number of people doing business and searching for information online. The need to have an online presence for your business is stronger than ever.
Guess what else? The competition is only getting stiffer.
There's no doubt the Internet is transforming before our very eyes. With that change comes a change in the terminology we use as well. The nomenclature of this profession is dying, but the act itself is still very much alive. Sure, the labels will make way for fresher, more appropriate and all encompassing buzzwords that capture the bigger picture behind SEO, but that's all just fluff.
In the end, it's all the same thing. Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Internet Marketing, Digital Marketing, or Content Optimization. It's marketing, plain and simple. The need to market, nurture, protect, and grow your business online isn't going anywhere.

Well that was one of the most depressing things I have ever seen for being a win.
University of Utah:14
It should have been 24 and in fact I don't know why it wasn't 24 for our team.
This new rule about sideline violations negating the blocked field goal run back for a touchdown? Not my favorite. Especially when the coach is shooing everyone back as the clock winds down.
I wonder what sort of repercussions that will have when the celebrating comes from a change in winner? Tough call.
This is me and if things keep going like this it's not going to be a good season.

To visit The Pedestal Magazine
John Amen's poetry in this issue.
For more Features
by Cindy Ballaro and John Amen
The Pedestal Magazine, online since December 21, 2000, is the vision of writer and entrepreneur John Amen. Mr. Amen's mission for the magazine is to publish a high-quality literary publication, exclusively online, featuring new and established writers and visual artists. Each bimonthly issue includes an in-depth interview with a featured writer and visual artist, along with examples of their work, as well as poetry, fiction and non-fiction from writers around the world. The magazine serves as a publishing outlet for writers, as well as providing quality literature and art for its readers at no charge. The website can be accessed at www.thepedestalmagazine.com.
The Pedestal Magazine's accomplishments include establishing itself as a premier literary presence, as evidenced in the critically acclaimed writers it has featured and published during its first year: Stan Rice, Susan Ludvigson, Sharon Olds, Michael McClure, Willis Barnstone, Fred Chappell, Nikki Giovanni and Thomas Lux. "Having this level of writers join us in our first year is a coup for the magazine," Mr. Amen says. "In addition, it has helped raise the bar for online publishing in general."
Other writers that have been published in The Pedestal Magazine include Alan Shapiro, Bruce Boston, Sarah Lindsay, Janet Buck, and Arthur Nersesian. The Pedestal Magazine receives approximately 500 submissions of poetry, fiction and non-fiction per month, and publishes 10-12 poems, as well as 2-3 pieces of fiction and non-fiction, per issue. A special issue, published in October 2001, included a worldwide collection of 100 writings and 74 images, all related to the 9/11 tragedy. All past writings can be found in the site's archive section.
Also committed to the field of visual arts, The Pedestal Magazine has presented the artwork of established visual artists including David Harouni, Francis Eck, James Michalopoulos and Tantra Bensko. The Pedestal Magazine opened its online art gallery in July 2001. The gallery includes works by both featured artists and others.
Submissions are accepted through an online submission form. The Pedestal Magazine is receptive to a wide variety of poetry, ranging from the highly experimental to the traditionally formal. The Pedestal Magazine publishes both mainstream and genre fiction. In the non-fiction category, The Pedestal Magazine is open to academic/scholarly works, as well as works that focus on issues of aesthetics, psychology, philosophy and religion. The Pedestal Magazine pays $30-$60 per poem and $.05 per word for fiction and non-fiction.
The current issue of The Pedestal Magazine, released on June 21, 2002, features writer Gary Soto, as well as the artwork of Kevin Hasson, Tom Kelly, and William Kelly, collectively known as The Bogside Artists.

A man who says he was too high to remember the removal of a backpack from the college dorm room of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect was alert enough to win a video game that same night, a key prosecution witness testified on Wednesday.
Azamat Tazhayakov, 20, recounted how he lost an Xbox NBA video game to his friend Robel Phillipos, before they went to the dorm room of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
"I don't remember him having a problem," Tazhayakov said of Phillipos' victory in the game.
Phillipos, 21, is on trial after being charged with lying to investigators probing the April 15, 2013, attack that killed three people and injured more than 260. His defense lawyer told a jury on Monday that Phillipos could not have lied to the FBI about visiting the room and removing a backpack because he was too intoxicated that day by marijuana to remember his actions.
Tazhayakov testified that Phillipos smoked pot that night.
Phillipos, of Cambridge, is one of three people who prosecutors say went to Tsarnaev's room at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth on April 18, 2013, after the FBI released images of the Tsarnaev brothers, and removed a backpack containing empty fireworks shells.
Tazhayakov already has been convicted of obstructing justice for removing fireworks from the dorm room. He said Phillipos was sitting next to him in the dorm room when another friend, Dias Kadyrbayev, opened the backpack and showed them empty tubes of fireworks. Kadyrbayev openly speculated that the contents of the fireworks could have been used to make a bomb, Tazhayakov testified.
Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev were both Kazakh exchange students at the university. Tazhayakov said they spoke to each other in Russian, but also frequently used English around Phillipos.
Tazhayakov said he didn't remember what language was used when Kadyrbayev talked about the firework shells. But he did say Phillipos was with them when they took it. Earlier in the day, they realized that Tsarnaev was a suspect in the case after his picture appeared on news broadcasts, Tazhayakov said.
FBI agents testified earlier this week that Phillipos initially denied visiting Tsarnaev's dorm room three days after the bombing attack. He later changed his story and admitted to being there, prosecution witnesses testified at U.S. District Court in Boston.
But defense lawyers argued that Phillipos had no memory of his actions, suggesting that investigators badgered him into a confession.
On Tuesday, Tazhayakov said prosecutors told him that testifying in Phillipos' proceedings could lower his sentence. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
Kadyrbayev pleaded guilty in August to obstruction charges after reaching a deal with prosecutors that would cap his sentence at seven years.
Phillipos could be sentenced to up to 16 years in federal prison if convicted of lying to investigators.
Neither Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev, nor Phillipos is accused of playing any role in the bombing.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faces trial in November on terrorism charges. His brother, Tamerlan, died in a shoot-out with police after the bombing.

Graco Double Stroller
A Tandem, Side-by-Side or Two Stand-Ons to Choose
Graco Double Strollers come in four different models to suit your family's busy lifestyle.
A Graco double stroller has the reputation for affordability and good quality and to suit your growing family's needs, several options are available. To make the best choice, you must be aware of your needs and the most important factor is the ages of your children. Are they twins who are the same age or are they an older and younger sibling?
Graco gives you lots of double stroller options. The first is their newer side-by-side twin stroller that can actually accomodate two car seats for twins. Not many side-by-side doubles can do that.
The next one to consider is a tandem, which is front to back. Graco's only tandem is the DuoGlider, which as been around for years and has consistantly gotten good reviews.
Two more options in Graco's line are sit and stand strollers. If you have an older child who likes to get out and walk around, then one of these stand-on products is the sensible choice. Check out the Room For 2 or the Ready 2 Grow that has a couple more features.
Whichever style you choose, know that owning a Graco double stroller means you have something that is quality and has stood the test of time.
Fastaction Fold Duo
You want an easy fold, a side-by-side double stroller? You got it with Graco's FastAction Fold Duo Click Connect. The sturdy frame is narrow enough for standard doorways, and it holds your children up to 50 pounds in each seat. Your children will love riding in this stroller because of the comfortable seat padding and deep recline. Each seat has a generous sun canopy with pop-out visors and mesh viewing windows that encourage air circulation. Pivoting, removable cup holders keep your little ones happy.
Most side-by-side twin strollers do not take two car seats, but the FastAction Fold Duo does. Two car seat adaptors are included, so you have no additional pieces to purchase and it's compatible with all Graco Click Connect infant car seats. (See more top-rated strollers for twins.)
Mom enjoys lots of storage space beneath the seats that are easy to access, even with the seats reclined. Cup holders and a parent tray hold your essentials. The easy fold is very important, who wants to wrestle their stroller into the car? Ease of fold is getting mixed reviews, but most say it's pretty easy. While all double strollers are bulky, the FastAction Fold Duo Click Connect fits well into most standard car trunks with ease. This product weighs 33 pounds, and for a double, that's a lighter weight than many that are full of features.
Reviews online give this stroller an average 4-star rating for being easy to maneuver and for having lots of storage space.
The DuoGlider is the more economical model compared with the Quattro Tour Duo. Only 20 inches wide, this duo stroller can fit easily through doors and is also a lighter weight. It is still a very popular choice as a tandem seat stroller and like the Quattro Tour Duo, the second seat is elevated for both infants and toddlers and can take the car seat on either or both seats.
This is one of the best value for money tandem Graco strollers on the market. Parents prefer this full-featured duo/tandem stroller because it is more narrow than many tandems and can maneuver in tight spaces. However this becomes more difficult as children become heavier. This stroller is also known for its durability and sturdiness, especially considering the price.
Parents give this stroller a 3½ or 4-star review across different online retailers. Find out what else this stroller can offer you and what parents like you say by reading the Graco DuoGlider stroller review.
The new RoomFor2 is a basic sit and stand stroller but it is packed with all the features a busy family with two children needs to get around. Both bench and seat accommodates up to 50 pounds each, allowing lots of room for growth. The seat takes any Graco car seat so that you can have a travel system for your newborn baby. The seat also has a multi-position recline, including flat, so baby can nap comfortably.
Your older child has a padded bench with a 3-point harness for safety when a rest is needed. Handles on either side of the frame provide a place to hang on to for your big kid when standing.
For parents, a once-handed fold is essential, and an auto-lock holds the frame together for quick storage. You get lots of storage space with a large basket beneath the seats, and a console with cup holders at the handle. The seat has a child snack tray that pivots outward for easy ins and outs.
The RoomFor2 has been getting fantastic reviews so far, with the average rating being 4½ stars. Customers rate this item on the large tires that makes it easy to steer and the compact fold. One mom stores it in her Ford Escape with room to spare. They like the ease at which a Graco car seat can be attached without any extra accessories needed. Overall, parents are very happy that this quality brand has come out with a sit and stand style stroller.
Ready 2 Grow
While the RoomFor2 is the more basic stand and rides, the Ready2Grow has more options. The most obvious upgrade is that you can attach two Graco car seats which is an ideal for twins (see more strollers for twins here). With the Ready2Grow, you have 12 seating options for children of any age. The front seat holds up to 50 pounds, as does the bench, and the second parent-facing rear seat can hold up to 40 pounds.
The bench and seat have the same features as the Room2Grow, but this model has two sun canopies that pivot at any angle to keep your children shaded. This stroller is easy to steer and maneuver with large wheels and a suspension system.
For parents, a once-handed fold is essential, and an auto-lock holds the frame together for quick storage. You get lots of storage space with a large basket beneath the seats, and a console with cup holders at the handle. The seat has a child snack tray that pivots outward for easy ins and outs.
The Ready2Grow has been getting fantastic reviews so far, with the average rating being 4½ stars. A helpful review mentioned that both her children were able to sleep at the same time and this mom says that this is much smaller than your average double stroller.

Godiva Case Study
Strategic Issues, Problems, and Opportunities
Godiva aims at increasing its market presence all over the world. There are numerous issues that stand in Godiva's way, but certain ones need immediate attention. They present themselves in order of importance. First, there is a need in Belgium to increase and maintain their market share. Secondly, as a worldwide company, Godiva must concentrate on the lack of uniformity and inconsistency within its image. With a saturated market, Godiva faces another issue as it lacks the competitive advantage within Belgium that's necessary to expand and capitalize on opportunity. Next, no beneficial balance is struck between automation and handwork in the production of the chocolates. Another important strategy implication is the need for a common advertising plan targeted at the triad regions that takes into consideration the inevitable cultural differences among countries. Pricing policy is another factor for Godiva because inconsistency limits potential in sales. The plan for managing the highs and lows of seasonality are not as effective as possible. The next issue is that Godiva is not maximizing the value of the productivity frontier in the Belgium factory because there is a significant amount of capacity not being utilized. Lastly, trends in the market have a serious impact on Godiva and it would be extremely beneficial to be flexible to these circumstances as a stronger management plan.
Decisions Recommended
The bottom line for Godiva is the necessity for it to revamp its global image. This is the underlying issue throughout the company's case that is overall causing the sales to struggle in the effort to reach profitability potential. As long as inconsistency in image is present the less Godiva will be identifiable and therefore, the weaker its message is across the market. With a more uniform image and stronger message consumers will be able to develop a firm grasp on the company's personality and what makes it stand apart from the rest.
Godiva must concentrate on its unique attribute that will define its character, luxury. With chocolates as an essential for gift giving and the intricate details of Godiva's handmade creations, luxury is the feeling that should apply. This will strengthen the differentiation between the leading competitors and itself, producing a competitive advantage. Between creating uniform boutiques, prices and advertising, the image can become stabilized and reinforced. Specifically this will help alleviate the situation in Belgium where confusion surrounds the Godiva brand and the other European countries that are new to the chocolatier.
Further recommended decisions involve maintaining flexibility in conjunction with the uniformity as market trends are inevitable. With chocolates so closely related to gift giving, seasonality plays a major role. As a result, Godiva must develop a plan for managing the fluctuations in production. Attention to utilizing production capacity, uniform production across nations, forecasting and new methods of inventory are crucial. Implementation Strategy
At the major factory in Belgium, innovative measures are to be taken to take advantage of the capacity for production. New methods of preserving freshness in order to make stock in advance for seasonal demand possible are important for solving the issues of production capacity and market trends. Time strategies of producing specific chocolates to fit the needs of the cultures and seasons will also apply to the market trends. Once the production line at the other factory, located in the United States is equivalent, the Belgium factory may also exploit the production capacity by exporting more to them.
Advertising will progress more toward the desired, unified image of luxury to be implanted throughout all cultures of the triad. Boutique modification and other measures of uniformity will also be put into play in all areas....

On Tuesday, the state of California charged David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress on 15 felony counts over their undercover reporting regarding Planned Parenthood. In 2015, Daleiden and Merritt released video showing high-ranking Planned Parenthood members joking about selling baby body parts for market rates and picking through baby body parts in order to demonstrate which sorts of body parts were available for sale for medical research, as well as talking about the best methods of abortion for procuring those baby body parts. The California Department of Justice, under the auspices of now-Senator Kamala Harris, raided Daleiden's home for footage in April 2016; last year, the state of Texas pursued charges against Daleiden and Merritt, but those charges were thrown out.
So, here's the question: where's the media, rushing to the defense of these undercover journalists?
They're silent. Or they're celebrating, since they think that Daleiden and Merritt were evil conservatives out to target the saints at Planned Parenthood. They buy the lie that the tapes were deceptively edited so as to implicate Planned Parenthood in nefarious activity – but the tapes show precisely what the tapes show.

Scott Eastwood, John Boyega Feuding On Movie Set?
Are Scott Eastwood and John Boyega feuding on the set of their new movie? That's the claim in one of this week's new tabloids. Gossip Cop has the truth!
According to OK!, the two actors are clashing while filming the sci-fi sequel, Pacific Rim: Uprising, because Boyega has a big ego and won't stop bragging about his Star Wars role. A so-called "source" tells the magazine, "At first, Scott tried to glean a few secrets from him about The Last Jedi, but all John talks about is how he's going to blow everyone away."
The outlet's dubious insider adds that Boyega "seems to think he's the star of those films, and it's just exhausting to listen to him." The "source" further purports that Eastwood "wishes John would just concentrate on the film they're shooting."
Gossip Cop, however, checked in with a trustworthy source on set of Pacific Rim: Uprising, who exclusively assures us that the two actors get along well and there's "absolutely no truth" to the tabloid's claim otherwise. We're further told that the allegation about Boyega having a big ego is "completely inaccurate."
In fact, Gossip Cop previously busted OK!'s sister publication, Star, for falsely claiming that Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley was refusing to do interviews with Boyega because of his supposedly oversized ego. That story was completely untrue, and the same goes for this latest one.

Globe Education began its series of staged readings of plays in 1994. Since then audiences have been able to see and hear over 150 plays written between 1567 and 1642. These 'performances with scripts' are staged by professional actors and directors.
Staged reading of Gorboduc by Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville (1562).
The aging King Gorboduc decides to resign his crown and to divide his kingdom between his two sons, Ferrex and Porrex, in order that 'they may both learn to rule,/ And I may joy to see their ruling well'. The division of one's kingdom, as Shakespeare's King Lear also reminds us, is usually a mistake. Originally performed before Elizabeth I by members of the Inner Temple, Norton and Sackville's stark and powerful political tragedy illustrates the consequences of a ruler's mismanagement of his succession, and his kingdom's subsequent descent into civil war.

Wild Target
A charming movie with likable characters and some funny scenes, but what I really couldn't peel my eyes away from were the outfits worn by Emily Blunt's character, put together by costume designer Sheena Napier. Real effortless style and accessorizing with a touch of hard rock glam softened up by her natural makeup and slightly tousled hair. Even her luggage was sublime. Love, love, love.

This product is currently unavailable for delivery to your country
Product Ref: 36558
The Vintage Reissued V6 is crafted from high-quality tonewoods, creating an incredibly comfortable instrument with versatile tones for players on a budget. Its body is crafted from solid American alder, delivering a strong, full-bodied sound with excellent clarity and plenty of depth. The addition of a maple neck enhances the overall tone with a beautifully bright character, while its rosewood fingerboard offers a mellow quality. Rosewood also helps to smooth out the maple's harsh edges, delivering sparkling highs, thick, creamy lows, and a punchy midrange attack.
The Vintage V6's attention to authentic tone continues with the addition of calibrated Wilkinson 60s style WVS single-coil pickups in the bridge, middle, and neck positions. Constructed with chamfered alnico V magnets and staggered polepieces, these pickups deliver incredibly clear and dynamic tones, with plenty of focus and definition across the entire frequency range. While its chamfered design enhances the pickup's high-end, it still allows the mids to shine through to prevent the overall tone sounding too thin. The middle pickup also features a reverse wind reverse polarity setup to reduce noise and hum when used with the bridge or neck pickup. The electronics have also been configured for maximum tone, resulting in an even response and output for supreme versatility.
The Vintage Reissue V6 features a Wilkinson WVC original specification vibrato bridge, with authentic bent steel saddles for that classic sparkle and tone. Precision machined pivot points provide a total return to pitch accuracy, and a stagger drilled sustain block to prevent string hang-ups. Wilkinson WJ55 tuners feature their E-Z-LOK string lock system, offering a quick and easy way to hugely enhanced the guitar's tuning stability, while offering super quick string change times.

Spring Into Comfort with Window Film This Year
Spring has sprung and it is Window Film season! There are so many reasons more people than ever think of this time of year as the perfect time to address the issues window film helps to solve.
As weather warms up, window film is proven to be an excellent way to reduce the transmission of solar heat into your home through glass. Everyone enjoys warmer weather, but without professionally installed window film, the price we pay to stay cool inside can add up quickly.
For Mothers Day, think about a gift of professionally installed window film. Window film, once installed, may hardly change the look of her windows – and she can still enjoy the benefits that today's advanced window film offers, such a more comfortable, consistent temperature inside (even with large windows that let in a lot of sunlight), and how her eyes aren't straining due to the glare that sometimes can result from direct sunlight through a big window. The beauty is sometimes in what you don't notice – harsh glare, hot spots and fading!
Another great Mother's Day idea is professional window film installation for her vehicle. This can make a nice ride a really wonderful one, by keeping the cabin temperature more comfortable and consistent, reducing glare and helping to protect the vehicle's interior from UV fading (not to mention the important protection of mom's skin and eyes). She won't have to worry about applying sunscreen before a long drive, because window film blocks up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays.
Happy Spring and Happy Mother's Day! If you have questions about professionally installed window film please don't hesitate to ask us. That's what the IWFA is here for. We are the resource for consumers for data and factual information about a great improvement for your home or vehicle.

Villanova Wildcats Basketball Details
Coming out of the Big East Conference, the Villanova Wildcats are led by head coach Jay Wright, who took the team to a second straight NCAA tournament bid after a phenomenal buzzer-beater win in the 2016 National Championship game. When Kris Jenkins hit that 3-pointer to beat UNC and win the title, it put the Villanova on the map as a force to be reckoned with in men's basketball. The 2016-17 season saw another brilliant regular season campaign, as the team finished 1st in the Big East, winning the conference tournament and grabbing the automatic bid for the Tourney. Unfortunately, the tourney run was short-lived, as the Wildcats lost 65-62 to Wisconsin in the second round. Looking forward to this season, the Wildcats lose seniors Josh Hart, Kris Jenkins, Denny Grace, and Darryl Reynolds. Hart and Jenkins are the major losses, as Hart averaged 18.7 points per game while Jenkins averaged 13.1.
In the upcoming 2017-18 season, the Wildcats will look to junior Jalen Brunson for leadership on and off the floor. The guard averaged 14.7 points and 4.1 assists last season. Junior Mikal Bridges (9.8 points per game) returns as well as sophomore guard Donte DiVincenzo (8.8 points per game). Incoming freshmen Jermaine Samuels, Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, and Collin Gillespie will look to make big impacts on a younger Nova squad. The Wildcats will look to have another wonderful season at home, playing in The Pavilion – or Wells Fargo Center for high-attendance games – in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Nova went 14-1 at home last season.

Last year, when Dale Torok started thinking about building an addition on the back of his house, he didn't have a design in mind. He just knew he didn't want a big box slapped on the back. He wanted it to be unique and fun.
What Torok ended up building, he said, was more beautiful and architecturally stunning than he could have imagined.
The addition comes to a point off the back of his traditional two-story brick house, like the bow of a ship. Its exterior is clad in California redwood and features large expanses of glass.
It was adapted from a house designed in 1948 in Altadena, Calif., by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. — not to be confused with his more famous father, Frank Lloyd Wright.
The inspiration came from Torok's aunt, Ila Wareham, a real estate agent in Glendale, Calif., who sent her nephew a photograph of the Altadena house. It immediately captured his imagination.
Torok hired designer Melody Farris Jackson of Winchester, whose firm, Metafour Designs, specializes in sm all-scale residential and commercial projects.
Torok and his late wife, Kathleen, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2006, often had talked about adding an entertainment space to their house at 1105 North Broadway.
The home was built in 1951 by Elmer Sandusky, owner of Savage Lumber. The 4,400-square-foot house was built with the second floor divided into two apartments, so when Sandusky's two daughters went to college at the University of Kentucky, they could live at home but each have their own private space. The first floor is one apartment. Now, Torok has his living space on the first floor. The office of his business, a payroll-processing company, is upstairs.
Jackson said, "We took a lot of the look and feel (of the Altadena house), but adapted it to Dale's house. As a designer, you don't want to copy directly. Very rarely do you have a situation where you can do that anyway. Size and scale are always so different."
That began a remarkable 14-month collaboration among Torok, Jackson and a crew of skilled carpenters, stonemasons, woodworkers, electricians and a blacksmith. They hand-crafted every element of the addition, including the 52-foot beam that spans the room, the rough-hewn limestone window sills, the mahogany cabinets and custom windows, and the wrought-iron cabinet and door pulls.
"Everything in this addition is custom. Nothing came from Home Depot or Lowe's," said Jackson, who taught at the University of Kentucky College of Design for 11 years and now teaches a course on interior design at Eastern Kentucky University.
"At an initial glance, the addition looks simple because it is just one big room. But it was very complex," Jackson said.
"We had to employ a structural engineer because that center beam is over 50 feet long. The city wanted to make sure of the integrity of the beam, and that the walls would support that weight." The beam weighed 11/2 tons.
Problems were solved on the spot, she said. "To make something so complex look simple is not easy. But everybody on site had such a can-do attitude."
Many of the workmen were well into their senior years.
The framing carpenter, Rocky Hall, 74, his grandson Joe and crew "looked at the crazy plans and brought them to life," Jackson said. They set the long beam in place and framed the entire structure.
Torok said, "Terry Craycraft did the amazing custom woodworking: The window frames, the raised wood paneling and all the cabinets, crown molding, bathroom vanities — everything was custom made in his shop."
Each stone for the fireplace and foundation was shaped by Stanley Kelly, 78, of Harrodsburg and his grandson, Clay. Stanley Kelley had done the restoration stone work at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill 50 years ago.
Blacksmith David Shadwick, 62, a retired Lexmark engineer, designed and made the cabinet pulls. The electrical work was by Roger Bailey, 76. And the woman who inspired the addition, Torok's aunt Ila Wareham, is 90.
"Design is a team sport," Jackson said. "I just drew up the plans. But the men whose hands made this were very impressive."
She added, chuckling, "You work with a crew that's twentysomething, they give you so many reasons why something can't be done. How can I now go back to working with a younger generation and not roll my eyes?"
Torok was an active participant in the design process.
"Dale is very creative and imaginative," Jackson said. "He offered up his ideas. He did his homework when I gave him things to do."
She drew up numerous designs. Three times she built models on a computer. "We scooted the addition 5 feet to the right, 6 feet to the left. How does it touch the house? How does it fit into the yard?" Jackson said.
One goal was to preserve Torok's 1-acre yard and garden, designed by Jon Carloftis. A two-tier pond has 25 colorful koi, some weighing 25 pounds. Torok shows the koi in competitions.
The exterior, California redwood with Douglas fir beams, came from Buffalo Lumber Co., a specialty company in Woodbury, Tenn.
The interior wood is mahogany. Window frames were custom made to hold glass panes about 7 feet by 6 feet. The 16-inch square saltillo floor tiles were made to order in Mexico.
Construction started in May 2011. It was a push to finish in time for a big party Torok threw over Memorial Day weekend this year for family, friends and everyone who worked on the project. "We were running hellbent for leather, but we made it," Torok said.
The 1,200-square-foot room with a 161/2-foot ceiling achieved Torok's goal as an ideal space for entertaining. There's a baby grand piano, a pool table and a bar with a pass-through window to the outdoor grill next to a granite counter.
Torok's sculpture collection is on display, including a brass eagle on the bar and a 7-foot carved mahogany panel of galloping horses.
As guests mingled in the large room and walked into the yard, Torok looked plenty pleased. "It came out even better than I ever anticipated," he said.

The idea behind this 'series' is that once every two weeks another year will be brought into attention, starting with 1963 and moving onward chronologically. One and only one album will be selected and written about from each year, the criteria being a mix of personal preference and historical relevance. If you stumble upon this article by any chance and end up not clicking the 'x' button in disgust, keep in mind that I would love to hear your choice for the respective year – from a simple comment stating the album's name, to detailed analysis that will destroy my argument and make me reconsider my reasoning. Remember, one of the main reasons I'm doing this is to get a better perspective of what albums I've missed out on, from each period of time.
Today's Pick: Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited
I've kept postponing Dylan for two posts now, but it was inevitable that sooner or later he'd be featured on this series. I mean, I'd love to go with something like Beach Boys' Today just to be different, but that'll feel like trying to bypass a huge mountain. Yes, I feel that Dylan's (especially mid-) 60's albums are of that colossal importance.
By the second half of 1965, Bob's approach to song-writing has morphed into something that I've yet to encounter in any other artist's work. Musically, he still draws his influences from blues, folk and country, with the electric backing band providing a needed rock 'n' roll edge. Only this time around, the session musicians contribute with their own artistic input, resulting in plenty of memorable instrumental touches. It's actually quite impressive how they all sound like the perfect choice for the song in question.
The words may or may not make sense when taken literally, but that's not important. What truly matters is how they are put together – Bob has developed a sponge-like ability to absorb information from literally hundreds of sources and then combine it in a drug-fueled, stream-of-consciousness manner. But please do not get the impression that it's all random. The brilliance of the lyrics doesn't necessarily lie in some hidden meaning they may have, but rather in how the actual words flow together and follow one another. The visual images they paint will be stuck in your head, the syntagmas they create will be memorized automatically, whether you want it or not. It also doesn't hurt that they are sung by a voice that has by then become as recognizable and as personality-filled as they come. There are few musical clichés that are more annoying than the "Bob Dylan can write, but he can't sing" one, and those who believe that need to look no further than 'Highway 61 Revisited' to be proven wrong: the tone he adopts is always fitting the mood of the song – from the angry sneering to the laid-back mysticism and everything in-between.
The thing is, this is one of those albums that words won't ever fully do justice to. Although all the elements that I described above are impressive on their own, it's only the unique mix of them all that ultimately makes 'Highway 61 Revisited' such an influential and enjoyable work that stands above the rest of its contemporary records. A true milestone, an album that could come out only at that particular time from that particular artist, never to be duplicated again.

What a pathetic nation of loser football fans we live amongst where two criminals or alleged criminals are more likeable than one who is a good citizen.
In one of the latest ESPN SportsNation polls, fans are asked: Which of these is the least likeable person? The choices are: Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, and Michael Vick.
That's right, Cutler was linked in a poll about likability with an alleged rapist and a convicted dog killer.
And Cutler leads the voting among the least likeable candidates.
Results of the 56,524 respondents (as of 1:25 p.m. on Tuesday):
Jay Cutler – 43%
Ben Roethlisberger – 35%
Michael Vick – 22%
Just a sad, dark day for intelligence and common sense in this country.

Note: If you came here expecting information on visiting all 13 Malai Naattu Divya Desams, then read the blog in Tamil here. This blog entry only covers the six dhivya desams bordering Kottayam.
Having completed a visit to the six Malai naadu divya desams over the weekend, adiyEn would like to share some personal experiences and notes that might help devotees who plan to visit in the future. Though adiyEn travelled alone, the recommendations provided here are from the perspective of those who travel with their families. The places covered were as under:
- Thirukkadiththanam – Changanassery, Kottayam District
- Thiruvallavaazh – Tiruvalla, Pathanamthitta District
- Thiruvanvandoor – Thiruvanvandoor, Alappuzha District
- Thiruchengundrur – Chengannur, Alappuzha District
- Thiruppuliyur – Chenagannur, Alappuzha District
- Thiruvaranvilai – Aranmula, Pathanamthitta District
These places collectively represent the kutta naadu divya desams. Although these places apparently look to be spread across three different districts, they are fairly close to each other and can be covered even in half-a-days' time if we start as early at 6 AM. The places mentioned above are located from top to bottom on the map in the order mentioned. Hence, it makes sense to cover them in that order.
To cover these places, one must pick a Trivandrum/Kollam bound train that goes via Kottayam. All Trivandrum and Kollam bound trains from Chennai go via Ernakulam (Kochi). However, beyond Ernakulam, there are two routes leading to Trivandrum/Kollam – one via Aleppey (Alappuzha) and the other via Kottayam. To visit the six places, one has to take the Kottayam bound train and get down at Kottayam. Bhagavathas travelling from Madurai and nearby places can directly take a bus to Kottayam that goes via Kumili.
Kottayam is a buzzing town, and is easily a vegetarian's haven in Kerala. Considering the state's Muslim domination, there are a countable few towns like Kottayam where one can find enough vegetarian dining options. Hence, if tourists are required to stay overnight, they should prefer Kottayam over Changanassery or Chengannur. Alternatively, the tourism department of the Government of Kerala runs a decently-maintained guest house just outside Tiruvalla temple. This place can also be chosen for overnight stay. To cover the divya desams, one can negotiate an auto or a cab from Kottayam/Tiruvalla. Most auto-drivers are aware of the temples and the travel routes to reach them as they have been routinely taking Srivaishnavas around. An auto-ride to all these places is expected to cost around Rs. 700-800.
It is also worth noting that most of the malai naadu divya desams are referred to by different names in Kerala. So it is better to get the local names right before venturing out. As is the norm in other Kerala temples, gents have to adorn a veshti, leaving their upper body part uncovered to gain admission into these temples. Hence, it is always better to carry a pair of them in your travel bag pack.
Almost all these temples have granite slabs in which a select nammazhwAr pAsuram of that kshetram is inscribed. Other than Thiruvalla and Thivaranvilai, which are seats of commercial activity, the other temples in the list hardly had any visitors. Hence, adiyEn was able to spend a long time (full fifteen minutes) enjoying the beauty of emperumAn and thinking of nammAzhwar pAsurams written about the Lord. In the case of Thiruvalla, there were an additional 11 pAsurams of Thirumangai AzhwAr which adiyEn enjoyed in admiration. nammAzhwAr glorifies the sylvan surroundings of these places in his pAsurams and it is a tribute to the people of Kerala that much of it is preserved even today. Especially, nammAzhwar glorifies Tiruvalla as a place where the smoke from vedic rituals adorns the sky. One can feel a divine calm in his/her heart by entering the temple's prahAram itself. Similarly, in the pond adjacent to Thirukkadithanam temple, adiyEn was witness to ugaLum kayalgaL and turtles attempting acrobatics, which are definitely a treat to the nature lover.
The namboodris in all the temples mentioned appeared to have a lot of respect for Srivaishnavas. That was evident from their fond enquiries and their generous offering of prasAdams (flowers, chandanam and tulasi leaves).
Since adiyEn temporarily resides in Kerala and has covered almost all malai naattu temples now, adiyEn would be more than interested in helping bhAgavathAs out with travel directions. However, adiyEn's recommendation is avoid these places from November to January as there will be a huge deluge of Sabarimala tourists, limiting one's boarding/lodging options.

Indian primary market promises to be full of action in coming months with several Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) slated to hit markets due to improving market sentiment leading to investors coming out of their shell and buying quality offerings.
Taking cues from Dr. Lal Pathlabs Ltd., and Thyrocare Technologies Ltd., Metropolis Healthcare Ltd., one of the largest diagnostic chains in India, plans to sell shares in an IPO to raise about Rs 1,000 crore, according to media reports. The IPO will target those investors seeking to invest in healthcare sector. Investors find healthcare sector attractive as there is shortage of healthcare infrastructure in India.
Recently Dr. Lal Pathlabs and Thyrocare Technologies Ltd., listed successfully on bourses which saw robust investor demand for the public issue of shares. Dr. Lal Pathlabs and SRL Diagnostics are Metropolis' two biggest competitors. The IPO, as has been the trend recently, will provide an exit opportunity to early investor Carlyle Group.
Metropolis, through its 20,000 laboratories, hospitals and nursing homes conducts over 30 million medical tests a year. The company boosts of 130 laboratories in India and six other emerging markets with 750 collection centres.
Metropolis' IPO will be bench-marked to the Dr. Lal Pathlab and Thyrocare's performance. Dr. Lal Pathlab and Thyrocare have given approximately 54 per cent and 27 per cent respectively since its IPO. The market opportunity is huge for diagnostics businesses with larger cities witnessing a increasing awareness level leading to higher spending on preventive healthcare. Another aspect aiding the business growth is the increasing health insurance penetration that encourages higher spending on healthcare.
The fragmented diagnostic domestic market is estimated at Rs 37,700 crore per year. The growth rate for the industry is estimated at 16-17 per cent as per Crisil Ltd.

County's New Towing Law Takes Effect
Montgomery County's new towing law, Bill 17-15, passed unanimously by the County Council on July 21 and signed into law by the County Executive, takes effect today, Nov. 30. The new law is designed to address overly aggressive and predatory towing practices and restore regulatory balance in commercial and residential parking lots.
Montgomery County's Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) typically receives more towing complaints each month than any other single category of complaint, according to a county news release.
Montgomery County's new towing law is now closely aligned with the State towing law and includes the following provisions:
• Prohibits the use of "spotters" to identify vehicles for towing;
• Requires signs that are 24 inches by 30 inches be posted at entrances and in parking lots;
• Requires property owners to authorize each tow in writing (except between 2 and 9 a.m.);
• Requires photographic evidence of violations or of events precipitating the towing of a vehicle and requires a copy of photograph to be provided to the vehicle owner when retrieving a vehicle;
• Requires towing firms to notify the Police before leaving the parking lot;
• Requires towing companies to accept credit cards as well as cash for the redemption of vehicles;
• Requires towing companies to have personnel available 24-hours-a-day at brightly lit impound lots so vehicle owners can safely retrieve cars at any time;
• Allows vehicle owners to retrieve personal property without charge from a vehicle that has been towed;
• Allows consumers to see the contract between the towing firm and property owner;
• Authorizes the County Executive to set flat rates;
• Limits the amount a towing firm can charge for an incomplete tow; and
• Gives OCP subpoena and enforcement authority.
In addition, commercial parking lot owners that elect to engage in trespass towing are now required to electronically register their parking lots with OCP and to provide annual reports to OCP regarding towing activities. The online registration, as well as additional information about towing, is available on OCP's website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/consumer. Commercial parking lot owners have 30 days from the effective date of the new law to register.

Modern Physics
I. Course Prefix/Number: PHY 223
Course Name: Modern Physics
Credits: 4 (3 lecture; 2 lab)
II. Prerequisite
III. Course (Catalog) Description
Course continues PHY 222. Content includes special relativity, classic experiments leading to the development of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, wave motion and wave packets, uncertainty principle, Bohr model of hydrogen, Schrödinger equation, infinite and finite square well, quantum harmonic oscillator, tunneling, angular momentum and the hydrogen atom, atomic structure, and basic nuclear physics.
IV. Learning Objectives
After successful completion of this course, students should be able to do the following:
- Outline the historical background relating to the development of modern physics.
- Describe the key experiments of the nineteenth and early twentieth century that could not be explained by classical theory.
- Explain the difference between Newton's and Einstein's approach to relativity.
- Explain how the concepts of relativity of simultaneity, time dilation, and length contraction are the results of the Lorentz Transformations and apply the Lorentz Transformations to calculate differences in time and space measurements between inertial reference frames.
- Solve problems such as collisions, nuclear fusion and fission using relativistic dynamics including conservation of momentum and total relativistic energy.
- Explain how blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering required a new way of thinking about light and energy.
- Explain features of the single and double slit diffraction experiment that require both a particle model and a wave model of both light and matter.
- Describe the Bohr model of the atom, the assumptions it makes, and the observations that it can not explain. Use the Bohr model to calculate the various wavelengths of light that the hydrogen atom can absorb and emit.
- Explain how the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a natural consequence of the wave nature of matter.
- Solve problems related to the particle in a box, the finite square well, and the quantum harmonic oscillator.
- Calculate expectation values and explain how they are related to observables.
- Explain how the Schrodinger equation is solved for the square potential barrier and how quantum tunneling arises.
- Explain and calculate quantities related to quantum mechanics in three dimensions such as the particle in a box, components of angular momentum, energies and wave functions of the hydrogen atom, and expectation values of position.
- Explain basic properties of the atomic nucleus such as stability, spin, binding energy, and radioactivity.
V. Academic Integrity and Student Conduct
• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,
• pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
• making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
• any other behavior that violates academic integrity.
There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton's policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.
Please review the Code of Academic Conduct and the Code of Student Conduct, both located online at
