Bulletproof Home Defense Reviews
About Bulletproof Home Defense
Founded by Steve Walker, a self-proclaimed 22-year Army veteran, Bulletproof Home Defense is a series of home defense techniques that are intended to keep you and your family safe during times of civil unrest, which are accessible by complete beginners and seasoned preppers alike. The creator of Bulletproof Home Defense claims he realized that many of the most common "prepping" techniques, such as building perimeter walls and storing food in your basement, were completely useless after witnessing firsthand the devastation brought about by the Arab Spring in Egypt during 2011. In fact, he watched "Amir"—a friend who used all the traditional methods to make his home was safe and secure—being murdered by a hungry mob only days into the revolution.
There are minimal online reviews for Bulletproof Home Defense, and those that are available seem to contain mixed opinions about the usefulness of the information. There is no company information listed for Bulletproof Home Defense, so we were unable to confirm a Better Business Bureau rating. It's also interesting to note that when you click on the FAQ link at the bottom of the company's homepage, you're simply redirected back to the homepage. In other words, there is no FAQ to answer any questions you may have.
*Note: If you'd rather not sit through the whole Bulletproof Home Defense introductory video, without the ability to pause, fast-forward, or rewind, simply press your browser's "Back" button. This will prompt you to either stay on the current page or leave. Simply press on 'Stay' and then you will be redirected to a text version of the website instead of a video.
What's Included in the Bulletproof Home Defense Package?
The sales page for Bulletproof Home Defense includes several examples of what you'll find after downloading, including the effective use of ammunition, how to use situational awareness to your advantage, how to fool people into thinking you're out of food, and even how to convince your spouse to begin prepping your home.
The Bulletproof Home Defense website states that you'll receive four special reports with your order, including:
- Crash Proof: How to Survive an Economic Collapse: Includes tips and strategies from others who have survived economic collapses in Russia, South Korea, and Argentina.
- Doctor in a Box: Includes information on how to stockpile antibiotics, and to protect yourself from common infections such as cholera and dysentery.
- Boomer's Guide to Prepping: Aimed at individuals over 60, this guide claims to show how your age can be an advantage during societal collapse.
- Unlimited Power: 5 Cheap or Free Energy Sources for a Crisis: This report claims to provide you with information on how to use alternative power sources to maintain your food stockpile, and to keep you and your family comfortable.
The Bulletproof Home Defense package also includes a "newly released" bonus workbook titled "The Ultimate Prepping Coach," which claims to provide an "A-Z roadmap" for prepping your home in just 30 minutes per day. At the end of the sales page, it's also claimed that you'll receive "another bonus that's too powerful to mention" once your order is complete.
Bulletproof Home Defense Pricing & Return Policy
The Bulletproof Home Defense downloadable ebook, along with the four special reports and "The Ultimate Prepping Coach" workbook, are currently being sold for $37.00. If you're not fully satisfied with the information, the package comes with a 60-day, 100% money back guarantee—all you have to do is call or email the company, and they'll begin the refund process, no questions asked.
However, it's important to note that the website also mentions, "No matter if it's the 23rd hour of the 365th day... you'll get your money back." This could lead you to believe that there is a one-year refund policy, which directly contradicts the two-month claim. No additional details are provided, so this is something that remains unclear.
Bottom Line: Is Bulletproof Home Defense a Scam?
While Bulletproof Home Defense does appear to provide customers with what they claim (e.g. an ebook outlining alternative home defense techniques, in addition to four special reports), there is suspiciously little information available about the information contained therein. In our experience, this is something that raises a big red flag.
In addition, the Bulletproof Home Defense video uses some graphic fear techniques aimed at leading you into making a decision based purely on emotion, rather than on solid information. The company's homepage features only their sales video, and does not provide any additional information about the company, which raises yet another red flag.
Next, when searching for reviews about the Bulletproof Home Defense system, one of the top search engine results is the site www.bulletproofhomereview.org, which is clearly created by the company, and does not contain legitimate reviews from actual customers.
It's also important to note that Bulletproof Home Defense offers no proof to back up their claim that these strategies actually work, other than:
- A personal story about being involved in civil unrest in Egypt, and
- That the founder was an Army officer for 22 years.
With this in mind, if you decide to purchase the Bulletproof Home Defense system, we would recommend that you approach it as a gamble. In addition, you may want to closely monitor your credit card activity after purchasing.

Bulletproof Home Defense
This program is ok. You do get the product but it's wasn't worth it for me. If you don't know anything about home defense and survival, this program may be somewhat helpful. If you've already done a ton of research on how to protect your home and survival strategies, then chances are that you will know literally every idea that this guy offers.
Yes, I did use the "word" idea because he offers ideas and not really how to do things exactly. You will still need to look elsewhere to learn how to use a particular herb as medicine. Also, how to find that herb and not kill yourself once you think you have it.
Ok, for medicine, you pretty much have to look at a medical book or something with details as this program actually gives none. So if you are into stories, then sure this may be for you. If you want to learn things, then buy specific "how to" books because this does not offer it.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Taken down
I paid for this as advertised and I can't download any of the books. My Internet Explorer browser puts up a partially blank page saying the page cannot be found. I have tried the link numerous times and it is always the same. Does anyone know of a backdoor to get into this url so I can download the material? Thanks.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

LOTS of good info in these downloads
If you pay careful attention to the video or transcript, the author never actually says that these are books. They are NOT books, they are DOWNLOADS. You have to follow the instructions to download & save the files yourself, and you can print them out if you want to. Apparently the only reason you enter your address on the order form for credit card verification.
There was a lot of info, and much of it was new to me. Very solid, if somewhat unorthodox material.
If you want the whole set for $22 instead of $37, here's what I found: Go to the Bulletproof Home website, and when the video starts to play, hit the "Back" button. A pop-up will appear, asking if you want to leave the page. It will ask if you'd like to read the transcript instead of watching the video. Select "Stay on page". A transcript of the info will come up. hit the "back" button again. There will be another pop-up, and this one will offer you a 40% off deal. Select "Stay on Page", and you can now order the downloads for $22.00.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Never received anything
I ordered the books mid Dec. and I haven't yet received them, so I couldn't tell you. Here's my confirmation #2255475. Looking forward to reading my books. Thank you

Georgian amethyst and enamel mourning ring. A yellow gold oval shaped memorial ring set with a border of sixteen cushion shape old cut natural unenhanced amethysts in closed back claw and cutdown settings with a combined approximate weight of 0.80 carats, encompassing a central white ground enamel plaque detailing an urn in purple enamel with intricate yellow gold millegrain detail, inscribed to the conforming bezel in black enamel 'GEO NASSAU ARM OB:18.AUG.1823 AET:66', all to a finely ridged court shape shank. Tested yellow gold, English, circa 1823.
George Nassau (1756-1823) was an English country gentleman, and the brother of Henry, 5th Earl of Rochford. He was a historian and bibliophile and amassed an extensive library including many manuscripts on his home county Suffolk, with illustrations commissioned by him from leading artists of the time such as Thomas Gainsborough. His will notes that on his death, the following people were to receive mourning rings, valued at six guineas each: Reverend H.I. Berners, Sir William Rowley, John Wright Esq., Reverend William Gibson, Sir William Parker Bt., Sir Francis Hilman, Captain Hopkins, Reverend William Garratt, William Berners Esq., Reverend Dr Kilderlee, Colonel Dupuis, John Phillips Esq., Sir Robert Spencer Kilderlee Esq., James Saicer Esq., James Wenn Esq., Earl Ludlow, George Farrant Esq., John Butler Esq., and Reverend Samuel Jones Knight.
One other of George Nassau's commissioned mourning rings can be seen in the V&A Museum's collection, reference M.168-1962.
The abbreviation 'ARM' stands for the word 'armigerous' which meant that a person was literally a bearer of weapons or armour and thus entitled to use a coat of arms. In more modern terms, it means that you are entitled to call yourself 'Esquire'.

Autographed Bookplate
per item
A bookplate is, basically, a sticker (like the one you see here) that I sign & personalize to you & mail it to you. You then peel the backing off & stick it inside the front of your book.
These are only available, for now, to US shipping addresses.
I apologize that there is a cost for this at all - but there are lots of expenses involved - from printing the bookplates themselves to the envelopes & postage & the fees I pay to accept your payment securely. I hope you understand.

Little Planet: Time-lapse by Dubai360
A time-lapse video of Dubai International Airport in the space of 24 hours with every frame warped into a "Little Planet" projection.
If you watch carefully, you will notice that the Little Planet actually makes exactly one rotation over the 24 hours of real time. Terminal 3 at the airport acts as an hour hand on a 24 hour clock, with midnight at the top, and midday at the bottom, so you can tell exactly what time every single frame was taken!

GI, etc
We've made it into the 2nd section of the book that covers trauma. There's several that come before the actual GI for trauma. She made it fine with the first 2 in the 2nd section but Monday night I started the 3rd one. It's for softening pain so I thought that it would be easy peasy. Not. She was off kilter most of yesterday. About 9 last night it occurred to me that she had started a new one and that this might be a problem. You should have seen me sprint to her room to put it back on peaceful sleep. I was a blur.
This morning she was a little off too. Not bad....just off... Therapy day today. The AT & I discussed what I was worried about and she thinks that until we work through the trauma section that we'll do those in her office then I can go back to the recordings for the recovery section. She said it would be important to have someone holding her while we worked through this chapter. I'm single so we'll do it with Kristy (AT). She's gauging J's reactions and responses while we're going through it. So we cuddled on the couch under a blanket and when we got to the part that said to put her hand on the part of her body that hurt she put my hand over her heart. I almost burst into tears. I was already giving her Reiki while Kristy was doing the GI and I think it was extremely helpful in her processing and that intuitively she knew she needed Reiki on her heart.
I'm passing this info on to all of you if you are using this book (which I highly recommend) please hold your child while someone else is doing the GI during the trauma series and don't do random GI's. Allow them to build. So much of what our kids went through was pre-verbal so they won't have any idea why they feel the way they do so they need someone to comfort and hold them.
My friend, Sheri, took the words out of my mouth today. Go read here.

You really amaze me with all the techniques that you are able to use with her.

You truly are an amazing mom Lisa. Your intuition with J. is beautiful. When I read about J. putting your hand on her heart, I wanted everything around me to just stop and be, so I could absorb that. That probably sounds crazy. Thank you for sharing.

It kills me how much this child has been hurt, how much pain she carries. She is so blessed to have you.

I've just read many of the reviews at amazon on this book and I'm pondering. I'm intrigued. We have been wondering what direction to go in therapy because Little B is not suffering from behaviors often associated with R.A.D. (although some behaviors are CLASSIC). But maybe it's more PTSD....hmmmm

What is the update on Special K? Any word as to when the big day will be?
I am still a little cautious when it comes to the GI...just because I want to be careful where my mind and my kiddos minds are being led too...but I will check this series out.

Good work there Lisa! You are great at figuring out where she needs to go and getting her there in a way that is positive.

A sense of community and shared values are central to our school. Montessori education is suitable for all children but children benefit most when their parents take an active interest and contribute to the school.

Efi is maybe 1000.00 more but the conversion is going to run at least 500 with the state incentive. With the fuel economy of gasoline efi would it still pay off? Can we do an efi propane? Probably big bucks.

Madly in Love Monday
I am madly in love with my Engineer because he is my hero.
Engineer stands up for what is right and does the right thing even when what is right is not necessarily what is popular. (That goes for within as well as without our household.)
He articulately defends his choices and I trust his discernment.
I adore my Engineer this Monday because he champions his cause with conviction and wisdom.

A major limitation of the field is the lack of a gold standard for assessment of cerebral blood flow autoregulation (CA). In the meeting of 6th July 2011, a proposal was discussed as a starting point of an international collaborative project on sharing data and analytical techniques with the objective of improving the reliability and developing multi-centre agreement on recommendations for estimates of dynamic CA.
The current literature on dynamic CA shows considerable diversity of analytical techniques, such as transfer function analysis, ARI, Mx and Px indices, neural networks, ARMA modelling, multi-modal pressure-flow, and others. Combined with the different protocols that have been used for assessment of CA (spontaneous fluctuations, thigh cuff manouevres, changes in posture, synchronised breathing, lower-body negative pressure, etc.) and the many different biological factors that can influence CA (posture, blood gases, temperature, sympathetic activity, CMRO2, pathology, etc.) this methodological diversity does not facilitate translation of CA studies to routine clinical use. Furthermore, we currently do not have sufficient evidence from comparisons of methods to support general recommendations for specific experimental protocols and analysis methods. To address this issue, the proposal would involve:
The CARNet committee will soon be inviting demonstrations of interest for participation in this project.

Email Thom Gibbs with the answer to this question: Which football matches would you like to watch again and why?
19.30 Two very shocking things in that second half: Number one: Peter Crouch chanelling the spirit of Matt Le Tissier and Tony Yeboah's fictional lovechild to score the probable goal of the season. Number two: How little City threatened Stoke. That was most palpable after their equaliser, when they almost seemed to be playing for the draw. They look tired, jaded maybe. If United thump Fulham on Monday as they very well might the dream looks increasingly over for Mancini's outfit. Over and out from me, thanks for your company.
90+5 min Yaya Toure is booked for complaining too enthusiastically about being judged to have fouled Palacios. Free kick is humped into the box, Hart can't get there... Stoke foul. City free kick.
90+3 min Stoke make a mess of a short corner, Palacios trying to play it back to Pennant and missing the target. Goal kick to City. GAH. Is there anything more annoying in football than the botched short corner?
90+2 min Kenwyne Jones on for Goal of the Season 2011-12 winner Peter Crouch.
90+1 min Five minutes of added time.
90 min It's still Stoke doing all the pressing. Palacios tees himself up for an excellent curling shot from the edge of the area. Hart diving acrobatically to try and reach it. He fails. It's just over.
88 min I'm just going to leave this here for your enjoyment:
87 min Pennant takes a corner... Encourgaging late signs for Stoke here. It's a rubbish corner, and crosses the byline on its way into the box. Oh.
85 min Milner on for Zabaleta in City's final change.
84 min Pennant is urged to shoot when he receives the ball on the edge of the box. Instead he accelerates and serves up an excellent cross from the byline. Palacios is there, he tries to head it back across but Barry turns it behind off his thigh for a corner.
83 min Mark Ogden is struggling to understand Roberto Mancini's thought process:
81 min Palacios is on for Stoke, taking Etherington's place.
79 min Here are the liveblog emailing power couple The Watsons with their match they'd like to see again:
City versus Spurs when Balotteli scored with a last minute penalty. Come on Blues !!
76 min GOAL!! Stoke 1 Man City 1 (Yaya Toure)
Toure unleasehes a violent shot from extreme long-range. It takes a slight deflection off Shawcross, but still ends close enough for Begovic to parry. He can't, only helping it into his net.
74 min Carlos Tevez is on! Great times! Barry is off.
73 min Walters tries his Peter Crouch doing an impression of Matt Le Tissier impression, cutting across the edge of the box and trying a shot from improbable range. Well over.
72 min City have men forward, right, and they're playing with more width than in the first half, right, but it's not good width, right, because they're just lining up in a static, flat line, right, so Yaya Toure tries a shot, right, with his foot, right, and it's not that great, right, and Begovic catches it, right? Right.
70 min Johnson wins City a corner. Little comes of it.
66 min In the excitement of #crouch #screamer #goaloftheseason I forgot to tell you that Adam Johnson has come on for David Silva.
65 min Richard Beards brings us back down to earth with a bump:
Stoke put all this effort in to achieve what? They did brilliantly to qualify for the Uefa cup this year then Pulis plays his reserves just as they were getting close. They're never going to qualify again so what's the point of them being in the league-it's not for their entertainment value is it!
64 min "1-0 to the rugby team," crow the Stoke fans. You've got to take your hat off to them, that was a beautiful conversion by Stoke.
61 min Ironinc Poznan alert from the Stoke fans. Genuine shades of Marco van Basten from Crouch there. It's being pointed out that the ball didn't hit the ground from Begovic's goal kick.
59 min GOALLLL!!!!! Stoke 1 Man City 0 (Crouch)
AAAAGGHHH!! CROUCHY! That's a RIDICULOUS goal! What a strike! Crouch wins a header from Begovic's goal kick, Pennant nods it back to him, Crouch controls it on his toe and he absolutely leathers a dipping volley into the far corner from 30 yards. Unbelievable technique. Wow.
57 min Paul Kerton has decided which game he would like to watch again:
Both recent. Either Spurs v Arsenal; or Chelsea v Napoli. Compelling games to watch with a twist.
Like a delicious Martini.
55 min City have a free kick in line with the wide line of the penalty box, and five yards from it. Balotelli takes it, and finds only the wall. He does, however, win his side a corner. Stoke get is half-clear then Howard Webb spots a City handball.
51 min Pennant on for Jerome for Stoke. Boos from the home fans.
50 min Etherington tries to do something by running down the left flank with the football. He crosses. He wins a corner. Stoke take it short. Repeat: STOKE HAVE TAKEN A SHORT CORNER. Wehlan eventually delivers it towards the far post. It's nodded back across goal and Huth has a go. Straight at Hart, who's come off his line, who bats it clear.
48 min Here are thoughts from the mind of Andy Holgate expressed as English words:
Is Etherington playing fly half? Only thing it is missing is a classic 1970's rugby punch up.
47 min Nicely judged ball over the top by Narry finds Dzeko in space in the box. One on one with Begovic... And it's a great save by the Stoke keeper! City corner, taken short, and they're still in possession.
46 min Manchester City begin the second half with a lovely kick off. But do they have the big kick-off experience to beat Manchester United? How will Fergie's kick off mind games affect them?
18.20 Stoke stereotypes here: Brutal, bruising, efficient etc. All of those things describe their performance, and they've been coming more and more into the game as it has gone on. City are getting sucked into a battle of niggly fouls which they cannot win, and have been criminally narrow. The one time they showed some genuine width Clichy was able to deliver a beautiful cross for Dzeko on the overlap. They need a re-think. Stoke need a set piece goal. See you in 15.
45+3 min Mostly Stoke possession for the last five minutes. City look just as listless as they did against Chelsea in the week.
45 min Rubbish free kick from wide on the left by Etherington. Out for a goal kick. Three minutes of injury time to enjoy.
43 min I probably shouldn't be surprised, but Stoke are just cheating here. So many niggly pulls and tugs at City players, mostly Balotelli, every time they're on the ball. Howard Webb's spotting them all, but is yet to book anyone in red and white. To be fair to Stoke, City are getting involved in the battle of fouls too. Nasri just left a foot in needlessly on Jerome. Not much fun to watch.
41 min Off the line by Zabaleta! A Stoke corner evaded everyone and the City defender scooped at the ball suicidally. It briefly looked like it was going to loop into the roof of the net. It did not.
39 min Barry with a definite but very minor foul on Jerome. The tiniest of pulls at the Stoke player's shoulder, and he's booked! That's more than a little odd given Wilkinson's assault on Balotelli's chin not long ago.
37 min Andrew Shaughnessy wouldn't mind seeing a football match again. He will tell you which... right now:
1994 World Cup Eire v Italy
Well Andrew, you're bang in luck:
34 min Poor header from Dzeko as Clichy delivers an excellent cross after Nasri slipped him in wide on the left. The Bosnian can only steer it wide. Not good enough Edin.
32 min I think the City fans are singing "We want football! We want football!" at the Stoke fans after another aimless high ball is humped into the box by the home side. Stoke's supporters respond with "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," excellently.
30 min Balotelli is being held by his chin by Shawcross. That's... not allowed. He goes down clutching his face which is... allowed, but just not very cool. City (Manchester, as they will be whenever I am using "City" today, pedantry fans) get the free kick. Begovic claims the cross.
29 min Here's your friend and mine David Prentice:
Which football game? Stoke versus anyone. The way Pulis has welded that tight five into such an effective scrummaging unit, the loosies hunting as a pack...a thing of beauty. Tony Pulis doesn't get the credit for the artist he is, deep down.
28 min City actually got a free kick after that coming together, which seems off. Balotelli is pulled down by Wilkinson shortly afterwards on the other flank. Free kick. Much whistling and booing and rude words from the now-furious Stoke crowd. Silva puts a high cross into the box, looking for Dzeko. He heads wide.
25 min A heads and arms between Whitehead and Silva as they go up for a high ball. Physios on but no harm, no foul. I say "no harm", Silva's still getting treatment off the pitch. He's bleeding but is going to be alright, I reckon.
24 min So with the game failing to prove hugely interesting, we have an "interesting subplot". Joe Hart wants the floodlights on. It was dead bright earlier, now the sun has gone in and it is less bright. Hart is gesturing. He is shouting. He is pointing. His lips visibly make the words "floodlights!" He looks towards the floodlights, on top of the stand and makes the same face as his manager:
21 min Tippy-tappy stuff from City just inside the Stoke penalty area. There's a phalanx of players in a line waiting for one of the others to make a run. In the end Toure tries a dipping shot. It never looks like it's going to trouble Begovic and guess what? It doesn't.
20 min City corner. Silva tackes. Crouch heads back to him. That's nice. Another City corner. Huth deals with this one.
18 min Etherington is caught painfully on the ankle by a too-eager Barry slide tackle. He's back in the game after some top notch physioing. Big assist to the water bottle there, very much the modern magic spray.
16 min Poor corner from Nasri, Dzeko tries to control but Jerome is able to bring it forward. Not many City players back, Walters is up with him to his right, but Dzeko makes an excellent recovering tackle for his team.
15 min City conclude an impressive, dominant spell with Silva having a go from 25 yards. It deflects behind for a corner.
13 min Jerome is close to connecting to a Stoke cross with an awkward volleying thing. Pleasing openess to the game, the Britannia pitch seems somehow bigger than usual.
11 min Balotelli's already having something of a nightmare. Miscontrolling, taking it round players when there's none of the pitch left to run into... He was dreadful against Chelsea in the week. That "is he better than Cantona" debate has died down rather, hasn't it?
8 min Rob Williamson has responded to the question above, and opted to drive down a Lol-de-sac:
Mangotsfield 0 - King's Lynn 0
BUT WHY, Rob?
6 min Mario Balotelli is being accused by the Stoke fans, loudly, of being a man that frequently gives himself "some relief" if you catch my drift... He looks nonplussed.
3 min Nasri delivers an excellent free kick from deep on the right. Dzeko's close to connecting to it. Close, but no cigar. No telling header, either. Goal kick to Stoke.
2 min The talk is of "amusement and bemusement" from the City medical staff about Sergio Aguero's injury. ESPN's Jon Champion said he asked what was wrong with the striker, and "wasn't enlightened any further". This to me (and Champion) suggests there is a LOLtastic explanation for Aguero's absence which will materialsie soon.
1 min Stoke get us started with a glorious kick off. Excellent singing from the home fans, as is their style.
17.26 The teams are in the tunnel. Mario Balotelli's yet to do anything exciting.
17.20 Sergio Aguero's injured. I know because these guys told me:
17.00 So Tevez on the bench again for City. What odds for him to score today? Well, I'll tell you. He's best priced at 4/1. Worth a flutter? I won't tell you that. That's up to you.
16.46 Here are the teams:
Stoke: Begovic, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson, Jerome, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.
Subs: Sorensen, Jones, Pennant, Upson, Delap, Shotton, Palacios.
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Toure, Clichy, Toure Yaya, Barry, Silva, Balotelli, Nasri, Dzeko.
Subs: Pantilimon, Milner, Johnson, Kolarov, Savic, Tevez, De Jong.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)
16.30 Afternoon liveblog lauders.
And so to the Britannia Stadium, home to Stoke City and mortgage adverts, for a replay of last season's FA Cup final.
Remember it?
It was alright, not a classic:
My highlight of the day was the post-match interview with Liam Gallagher and his son. I'll buy you a Kinder Bueno if you can find a greater voice-poshness difference between a father and son in history (and on YouTube):
Manchester City have rather a lot to play for, what with that Premier League still very much up for grabs.
They can go tantalisingly above United with a win today, in what is the latest in a series of Stern Examinations of their title-winning credentials.
Will they pass it? I don't know.
Let's find out together, shall we?
Team news and a lot more to follow. Stay tuned:

Stoke winger Matthew Etherington is fit to return against Manchester City after missing the midweek draw against Tottenham with an ankle problem.
Midfielder Salif Diao (hamstring) is likely to miss out but defender Jonathan Woodgate, who has not played for a month, could come into contention for a place on the bench.
Striker Ricardo Fuller misses out as he completes a three-match suspension.
Meanwhile, title-chasing Manchester City hope to have captain Vincent Kompany back for the trip to Stoke.
The Belgium defender has an outside chance of returning after missing three games with a calf injury but centre-back partner Joleon Lescott (hip) is ruled out.
Striker Carlos Tévez is again expected to be on the bench after making his first appearance for six months in the midweek win over Chelsea.
Betting: Home 5-1, Away 8-13, Draw 13-5.
Stat of the game: Manchester City last won at Stoke in the top flight in February 1977, more than 35 years ago.
Match Notes
This is a fixture that City will approach with some trepidation – they have not won in their last four trips to the Potteries.
And yet they have dealt with Stoke well at their own stadium.
City must win to keep up the pressure at the top and that desire may be a decisive factor either way. It could be a nervy affair.
Carlos Tévez's last goal was against Stoke; maybe his next one will be also.
Jason Burt's prediction: Stoke City 1 Manchester City 2.

Board of Directors member Jeff Conyers to serve in interim capacity
GATLINBURG, TENN. (Wednesday, July 19, 2017)- Mountain Tough Recovery Team Executive Director Janice Hendrix has stepped down effective immediately from her role with the Gatlinburg-based program. The Board of Directors appointed Jeff Conyers to serve as the Interim Executive Director while the search for a replacement is underway. Conyers currently serves on the Mountain Tough Recovery Team Board of Directors.
Mountain Tough focuses on a three-pronged approach as it supports Sevier County residents through their rebuilding efforts. First, the program focuses on case management and financial assistance to renters and homeowners affected by the fires. The goal is to help remove obstacles that stand between the family and their goal of stability and recovery. Since July 1, nearly $30,000 in assistance has been disbursed to assist individuals with stable housing options, medical issues and transportation needs.
The second effort of the Mountain Tough Recovery Team is to conduct the vetting process for those who are candidates for home rebuilds. The project, led in conjunction with the Appalachia Service Project and other organizations, helps bridge prospective candidates and groups constructing new homes to replace ones that were lost. The Appalachia Service Project completes its first house later this month.
Finally, Mountain Tough Recovery Team is focused on clearing build sites and prepping land to make it ready for the rebuilding of homes. Mountain Tough will release more details about this initiative early next month.
Anyone seeking assistance should complete a pre-application at www.mountaintough.org. Anyone without internet access may call the Mountain Tough office at (865) 436-8112 to start their application. Once an appointment is scheduled, applicants will meet with case managers to review their circumstances, determine eligibility and set goals to advance their recovery process.
Mountain Tough Recovery Team is an independent, tax deductible, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Tennessee. It is governed by a Board of Directors. The list of current board members may be found at www.mountaintough.org
The Gatlinburg office of the Mountain Tough Recovery Team is located at 906 East Parkway, Suite 2, Gatlinburg, TN 37738. Funds from public and private sources cover the operational expenses thus allowing 100% of donations to directly benefit affected families.
Anyone who wants to help the Mountain Tough Recovery Team with their efforts should visit www.mountaintough.org for information on how to donate, how to volunteer and more. The website is the official source for all information regarding the recovery effort.

New Delhi, Oct 13: US-based diversified healthcare benefits firm Aetna International on Thursday announced an investment of Rs 100 crore in India to offer new health and wellness solutions.
The company, which operates in the country through a wholly-owned arm, Indian Health Organisation (IHO), launched a 'Classic Family Consultation' membership offering facilities such as unlimited tele-consultation with doctors and ten free doctor consultation vouchers which can be utilised at top hospitals and clinics.
"With a total aggregated investment of over Rs 100 crore in India, Aetna International aims to increase access to quality healthcare by building new health and wellness solutions," the company said in a statement.
Commenting on the development, Aetna International President Richard di Benedetto said: "India is a key market in our future growth strategy.

After a week one win against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, the Patriots travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills on Sunday. The Patriots and Bills both look to improve to 2-0. We know what the obvious factors in this game will be, most notably the battle against Rob Gronkowski, but let's take a look at three potentially overlooked keys to a Patriots' week two win.
Secure The Edge
Star Steelers' running back Le'veon Bell was suspended for the Patriots' season opening game, forcing Pittsburgh to start veteran back DeAngelo Williams in his place. At this stage in his career, the 32-year-old Williams is considered nothing more than a solid backup.
In the Thursday night season opener, that same backup rushed for a whopping 127 yards on 21 carriers against a Patriots front seven that is thought to be among the best in the league. The New England defensive front did an extremely poor job of securing the outside of the line of scrimmage off the snap, getting beat play after play.
If the Patriots are to get a win in Buffalo, that must change. Rex Ryan's Bills offense features Tyrod Taylor, a mobile quarterback who was able to rack up 41 yards on the ground on just nine carries last week against the Colts. With the always dangerous LeSean McCoy alongside him in the backfield, beating the Buffalo offensive line at the snap and getting to the edges to contain McCoy and Taylor will be huge step towards escaping with a win.
Force The Pass
This goes along with the last one, but it will be crucial for the Patriots defense to force Tyrod Taylor to throw the ball. It starts with keeping him in the pocket by containing the edges, but a nice mix of blitzes will also go a long way towards getting the job done.
Like many mobile quarterbacks, Taylor's biggest asset is his legs. He is a decent passer, but most of his big plays in the passing game come as a result of plays made with his legs or off of play action. If he is effectively contained and the run game is stopped consistently, it will be very difficult for Taylor to put up any kind of big play throwing the ball.
With Taylor and McCoy, shutting down the run is easier said than done, but it is not impossible. Bill Belichick and the New England coaching staff will need to dialup consistent blitzes to keep McCoy and company at bay and force Rex Ryan to attack the defense through the air. The Patriot secondary is not anywhere near as talented as the one they started a year ago, but if Taylor's legs are neutralized and he is forced to throw from the pocket for much of the game the Patriots may just runaway with it.
Offensive Line Communication
The Buffalo Bills have one of the best, if not the best, defensive line in football. With Marcell Dareus, Mario Williams, and Kyle Williams all on the defensive front, the Bills present a lot of matchup problems for any offensive line. With Rex Ryan running the defense in Buffalo, that defensive line gets much scarier.
In case you are not familiar with Rex Ryan's work, he is an extremely aggressive defensive play caller. He runs a lot of blitzes, and with the weapons he has at his disposal, you can expect many of those to at least result in a hurried pass.
Hurried passes won't have a devastating effect on Tom Brady, who is one of the best in the business at getting the ball out quickly, but sacks will. The key is to keep pass rushers off of his back and limit sacks. With three rookies likely starting on the New England offensive line, the Patriots have their work cut out for them. With an inexperienced line, communication will be critical as they face one of the best defenses in the NFL.

If you're going to treat yourself to just one memorable outing in Alsace in the next weeks or months, consider the Villa René Lalique, north of Strasbourg in the little town of Wingen-sur-Moder. Silvio Denz, Swiss entrepreneur, vineyard owner and now CEO of Lalique, first created the Musée Lalique in town – which itself is well worth a visit. Then he set about restoring the celebrated glass-maker's 1920s timbered and gabled family home and commissioned star architect Mario Botta to build a brand-new restaurant right next door. It's a luminous glass pavilion braced by pink sandstone pillars and it serves as a glittering showcase not only for the famed Lalique crystal and glassware but also for some jaw-dropping kitchen fireworks by Chef Jean-Georges Klein, lured here by Denz from the triple-starred Klein family restaurant L'Arnsbourg in nearby Baerenthal.
I visited last September when it had just opened, for a piece in Decanter on the best places to eat out in Alsace today. There are several menus: Signature @ €180, Création (with 3-4 courses) @ €98 – 128, Végétal @ €149 and a Menu du Jour served at lunch only @ €78. Our meal was a magical succession of tiny surprises that combined and contrasted crunchy with silky-smooth, spicy with sweet-sour, piping hot with ice cold. The menu (fully annotated, above) will be different now, of course, with summer dishes to the fore, but my scribbled notes and memories of the standout dishes detailed below will at least give you a taste of what's in store….
The éveil des papilles (palate-awakener) consisted of 3 tiny tapas in which smoked salmon, crusty polenta, a sliver of pork scratching, chutney, mussels and cream cheese played various parts:
Next came the oeuf argenté, a soft-boiled egg inside a silvery varnished shell topped with a warm whisky mousse and accompanied by a toasty "soldier" flavoured with squid's ink for dunking into the runny yolk. (Dontcha just love that mother-of-pearl spoon?)
The déclinaison autour du fruit rouge turned out to be an intensely shellfishy shrimp bisque with a splodge of raspberry and a jaunty sprig of purple basil, accompanied by a sort of cannolo consisting of a jellied raspberry sheet wrapped around something savoury and white (?fresh cheese ?ricotta). (My notes also record that foie gras played a part, though you can't see it in the picture.)
My favourite dish featured a chunk of snowy-white sea bass gently flavoured with bergamot and draped with a slender, jellied sheet of polychrome peppers, the whole floating on a warm elderflower vinaigrette enlivened with white Balsamic vinegar. On the side was a sinfully rich truffled mashed potato shaped like a spoon – difficult to eat tidily but mighty good. A tiny splodge of lemon jelly introduced a sharp, intensely delicious citrus note to the whole thing – a delightful play of contrasting colours and flavours.
The duck breast with a quetsch and almond layered creation and a jus infused with cardamom had rich colours and gorgeous flavour but it lacked a bit of crunch for contrast (cue for breadcrumbs? toasted nuts? crusty, not soft, skin?).
Cheese (from my neighbour in the Sundgau, the celebrated cheese affineur Bernard Antony) is served from an eye-catching, ultra-modern, black and white Lalique trolley. All I could handle was a thin slice of 2012 Comté punctuated with tiny crystals (of the kind found in aged cheese, not the Lalique variety), shaved from a generous slab – love it when they serve it like that, as you get an even better flavour hit than from a chunky piece.
The pré-dessert was like a crackly nest of sugar enclosing a grape sorbet while the signature sucrée was a half-crown of poached mirabelles sitting on a mousse which in turn sat on a kind of tuile with a mirabelle coulis: sweet alternating with sharp, soft with crunchy – and beautiful to behold.
The wine list is a hefty bible and is worth a detour in itself. It neatly dovetails Denz's own formidable cellar (big on Bordeaux, where he owns vineyards, and the US) with award-winning sommelier Romain Iltis' hand-picked Alsace selection. Rieslings are writ large, from headline-grabbing new wines from old-established names (Trimbach's Grand Cru Geisberg, Hugel's Grosse Laüe) to grands crus from relative newbies Paul Ginglinger and Henry Fuchs, whose GC Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé proved a satisfying partner for our various fishy dishes.
If you eat out regularly in Alsace (forget the rest of France), you'll know that it's extremely rare to find more than one or two Pinot Noirs on offer from the region. Romain Iltis is a fervent believer in Alsace's Pinot potential and has persuaded Denz that it's worth devoting cellar and list space to the best bottles. He has thus devoted an entire page to the subject of Rouge d'Alsace, venturing beyond the territory once exclusively the monopoly of Albert Mann, Muré, Zusslin & Co. to reveal budding Pinot craftsmen like Jean-Paul Schmitt and Schoenheitz. The latter's Pinot Noir Linsenberg, grown in the granite soils of Schoenheitz's vineyards above Wihr-au-Val (reserved, to my great chagrin, only for the restaurant trade) is a delight and did a fine job with the duck and its sweetish quetsch accompaniment.
Remember I said this is a temple not only to food but also to Lalique glass and crystal ware? The super-elegant contemporary Lalique glassware, from variously shaped wine glasses and water glasses through to the little glass bridge which cradles the corks from your bottle(s), provides the perfect complement to Jean-Georges Klein's elegant, modern style of cooking.
Note that there's a train from Strasbourg to Wingen-sur-Moder so you can make a day trip of it, take in the museum, feast on lunch at the Villa and not have to worry about taking the wheel afterwards.

Dali Rubicon 8 Floorstanding Speakers
The floor standing flagship of the RUBICON series, the RUBICON 8, will provide you with a mind blowing large soundstage and an impressive deep, physical bass. The RUBICON 8 has no less than three drivers that all kick in at different frequencies. This setup ads up to what in effect is a 2½+½+½-way construction, and generates an amazing range and impressive sound pressure. The RUBICON 8 is for those seeking the extraordinary in size and sound.
Upping the audio ante to the extreme, the RUBICON 8 is quite simply stunning in terms of the epic soundstage it presents. The trio of woofers work by kicking in at different frequencies, making the RUBICON 8 the pinnacle of your entry into the world of high-end audio at a mid-range price.
Delivering a totally transparent image with a richness of detail that recreates the passion of a live performance, the wider sound dispersion afforded by Dali's hybrid tweeter helps the RUBICON 8 fill even the most sizeable of spaces with the purest audio your ears will ever witness.
With the introduction of the SMC based "Linear Drive System", we've broken new ground in the loudspeaker industry. Utilizing the technologies behind the SMC in the RUBICON 8, we aim to create an extremely low distortion and maximize the level of details, even at low volume. With the drivers manufactured in-house at our Danish factory, and featuring the latest in magnet motor technology, the RUBICON 8 is ready to set new standards for audio quality for Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
The RUBICON 8 draws upon the heritage from the SMC based 'Linear Drive System, which was introduced with the EPICON series. With the use of the technology from the SMC drivers, we have taken a step closer to remove a very large part of the unwanted distortion. The bass drivers are optimized for long excursion, and the midrange driver for a large useful frequency range insuring that the roll-off is handled in the crossover and not in the driver. All this ensures that the benefit from SMC can be enjoyed by even more Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
In the RUBICON 8, DALI makes use of both the soft dome tweeter working alone, and the hybrid tweeter configuration an amazing rendering of the high frequencies. The voice coil used in the RUBICON 8 is designed to be very light and agile in order to achieve a broader bandwidth. This lighter voice coil is placed inside a powerful ferrite magnet that keeps a tight control of its movements.
The ribbon tweeter is the master of wide dispersion and combining it with the soft dome, the tweeter module starts working as low as 2.5 KHz. This extreme bandwidth combined with the ultra wide dispersion is an important part of the DALI sound philosophy.
Assembled in-house, every driver in each of the RUBICON models are configured to match the model they are destined for. The three 6½ inch drivers used in RUBICON 8 all work together to reproduce a clean, detailed sound with no colouration.
The cones used in the RUBICON 8 draws upon the heritage from the EPICON technologies, and has a light, rigid and randomly uneven structure. This lower the complexity of the central part of the motor, ensures even piston like movements, reduces the possibility of surface resonance greatly and creates an extremely low distortion within the RUBICON 8.
The soft low-loss rubber surround is designed and bespoke specifically for the RUBICON 8, and all of the components are situated in an aluminum chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.
The gracefully elegant exterior of the RUBICON 8 works as the base for the low-loss drivers. In every cabinet, the mid-range and bass drivers are separated into their own chambers. Turbulence is minimized through a bass reflex port, which is placed directly behind every woofer, and the timing between the woofer and the bass port is thereby also optimized.
Standing over a metre tall, the elegantly styled RUBICON 8 is constructed from solid MDF and is available in four striking finishes: High-Gloss White, High-Gloss Black, Rosso and Walnut. As with its floor standing siblings, it also comes complete with both spike set and rubber feet plus a polishing cloth to keep your new pride and joy fingerprint free.

Signs of Autism in a 9 Month Old
According to Jeanne Segal, PhD, signs of autism become evident between the ages of 18 and 36 months old, with diagnosis typically taking place by the age of three 1. However, symptoms can be noticed as early as infancy. The early signs of autism can be easily missed simply because you are looking for the absence of normal behavior rather than the presence of abnormal behavior. The sooner you recognize the symptoms, which can present themselves in a number of developmental areas, the more effective the treatment may be for your child.
Verbal Signs
According to the Harvard Medical School, babies who are passive at six months then irritable at 12 months are at higher risk for being autistic. One of the most common symptoms of this is your child's verbal development.
Children at nine months of age are usually beginning to babble or trying to form simple words such as "mama" or "dada." If your child has begun doing this and suddenly stops, this may be an indication of autism spectrum disorder. He may also be having difficulty forming or learning new words or may not be able to express what he wants. Many babies will point to what they want; a child with autism is unable to do this due to a lack of comprehension.
Physical Signs
Your child may display a lack of emotion or become rigid when you attempt to hold her and kiss her. This is atypical of children who are nine months of age. Many toddlers enjoy personal contact, yet a child with autism doesn't understand emotion. This is why she may pull away from you.
She may also show an indifference to being held by other adults or people she doesn't know. Typically, children at this age will cry for a caregiver when held by a stranger. Children with autism generally do not become upset when taken from their parents.
Non-Verbal Signs
Just as your child may display verbal symptoms, he may also display non-verbal signs as well. One sign which should be a red flag for you is calling his name and receiving no response. Generally by nine months of age, a child will turn and look when his name is called.
He may also refuse to make eye contact with you, another red flag for concern. This is especially true if you try to play games like peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake with him. These are games most babies love, as gales of laughter are emitted from their mouthes. No response or interest in these games should be a major cause for concern.
Obsessive Signs
Many babies move from one toy to another when they are playing alone. However if your child is autistic, she may be obsessed with one toy or particular type of toy for hours. If she has lined her blocks up in a perfect row and one accidentally gets knocked out of place, she may become uncontrollably upset.
Another common symptom is the need for the same routine every day. She may like her meals at the same time, her bath at a particular time and expect bedtime at the same time each night. If her routine is broken, you may notice her becoming inconsolable or, in some cases, out of control with her behavior.
The last thing in this category to watch for are repetitive movements such as rocking back and forth for long periods or flapping her hands.

E agora vocês vão me pedir para tirar estes sapatos da vossa vista e, este choker também. Mas vá, eu com os sapatos ainda vou tentar. Mas o choker? Não consigo! Provavelmente só quando encontrar um mais giro. Se virem um girinho que achem que é a minha cara deixem o link. Quando tiver outro combino os dois, ou três o que for. Moda é assim, sem regras :P
Morning! Good morning with a beautiful sunny day here in Lisbon and a taxi's manifestation on my door! I have a feeling that this monday is going to be a nightmare in transit!
When I wore this dress I saw three other girls with it. I know it's from Zara and the probability of someone wear it is huge but it never happened to me in the specific day that I wear a piece finding three other girls with it too ahahah! I wear this dress with the shouldrer down all the time and my sister wear it with the shoulder up and it looks great in both ways. It's one of those versatile dresses that I love.
I know that we're in October and fall is here, but on this day was so hot! Well, I guess is going to over this week because from what I saw the temperatures will get low. Are you excited for the boots season? I have to say I miss my black booties all the time :P
I was never a big fan of sunglasses with an aviator style. I always prefer the oversized cat eye sunglasses on me. But my mom who is a box full of surprises bought these ones for here. And since I'm a good daughter I have to stole them from her just to check if I don't like them. And yes. I don't think I can pull off the aviator's sunglasses that well :P
I hope you have a great monday!
One big kiss!

A Very Geometric Christmas
When it comes to embroidery, the most math you probably want to do is estimating how much embroidery floss you'll need for a project. But you'll love the look of simple Christmas designs made with a touch of geometry or at least embroidery with a geometric look.
These six motifs are perfect for Christmas and winter and they are so easy to stitch. If you can make a straight stitch, you can embroider these designs.
Because of their simplicity, these patterns will be quick to stitch, which is helpful when the holidays come close. They are very suitable for embroidering on paper to make cards and tags and they would also make perfect ornaments.
You might even use them to help a child learn how to embroider for the first time or to create a modern embroidered quilt.Continue to 2 of 3 below.
02 of 03
Geometric Christmas Patterns
To use this pattern, download the full-size image, size as desired, and print. Then, trace the motif (or use this easy method) and start stitching.
Another way to trace or transfer these patterns is to mark them only with dots where the lines will connect with each other. Think of them as a stitchable dot-to-dot design.
These simple geometric designs are perfect for embroidering on wood. If you do that, be sure to follow the embroidering on a wood guide when transferring the patterns. The embroidered wood can become an instant ornament.
Please Note: These patterns are copyrighted © by Mollie Johanson. The patterns are free for your own personal use and creating finished embroidery available for sale in small quantities, but please do not redistribute this pattern in any way.Continue to 3 of 3 below.
03 of 03
Stitching the Geometric Christmas Designs
When embroidering these designs, choose whatever colors suit your taste. Color suggestions are shown only to help define the different areas of the motifs. You can use very traditional colors or something much more modern.
And although some of these have multiple colors shown on one design, you could stitch each one in all one color and still see the different parts of the motif.
Stitches and Sizing
Although each pattern is made up of straight stitch lines, you'll most likely want to stitch them using back stitch with each line segment as a single stitch.
You can embroider these at just about any size, so consider shrinking or enlarging the pattern. If you make the patterns smaller, use just a few strands. If you choose to work in giant embroidery try stitching with Perle cotton or even yarn.
Another option would be to stitch each section of a design with satin stitch, altering the direction of the stitch for each segment. The filled-in look would make a bold, colorful statement.
Stitch Length and Other Considerations
You can use these designs just about anywhere you might embroider something. Just remember that, depending on how large you size them, these patterns will have some longer stitches that could catch and pull.
If you want to stitch these on things like clothing or kitchen towels, consider using a basic outlining stitch (such as stem stitch, split stitch, or even back stitch), but taking shorter stitches to create the line segments.
May these designs give you the opportunity to enjoy some relaxing, no-stress holiday embroidery.

As we come to the end of another year and as I look back on all the wonderful opportunities I've been so fortunate to be a part of. Rather than do a top 10 or 25 list, I wanted to just mention one aspect of my almost daily life that really resonates with me. Often times stopping me dead in my tracts. That is the art, the private art collections that I have been privy to in New England.
About a month ago I was visiting/scouting an upcoming project I'll be photographing and there was the Designer and myself; just the two of us, alone standing in a home surrounded by more Kandinsky's than I'd ever seen in one place. If there is one single solitary aspect of my daily life that is truly priceless, than it is the opportunity to view and take pleasure in the collection of art that most will never see in their lifetime. That privilege is truly meaningful and it's impact often stays with me for a very long time.
One of my personal favorite elements of all Design Publications is not necessarily seeing how someone lives or how their home is decorated. I look to the art, the private collections that are generously shared by their owners in the photographs that grace the wonderful Design Magazines we all love.
When I first scouted the home of Craig Tevolitz and Richard Baiano this one cibachrome print by Vee Speers stopped me dead in my tracks. There is just something about it. This is the scouting shot taken and when I scout I use one lens and so at 35mm with my back to the wall this was as much as I could get of the stair landing…
On the day of the photo shoot after Editor Kyle Hoepner and I had gotten settled we discussed the shots for the day and decided I would start setting up this shot first. Primarily because there was very little styling to do and that allowed Kyle to start styling other aspects of the home with Designer Craig Tevolitz. For me this shot had to be absolutely perfect, not just through it's composition but from a technical standpoint as well. There where so many parallel and perpendicular lines that all had to line up. In order to get this shot, I would use my 17mm Tilt Shift lens which allowed more information in the framing of the shot and the tilt shift aspect made certain all the many lines would be perfect.
This is the shot as it appears in the magazine:
And sorry about the screen shot, but when you shoot for a magazine they technically "own" the photographs until after the issue has outlived it's shelf life. So even though it would be very easy for me to use the unmarked photograph in this blog, I believe in playing by the rules and honoring my contract with New England Home Magazine :-)
Please be sure to pick up the January/February issue of New England Home Magazine to view the rest of this home's beautiful artwork, stunning Design and thoughtful Architecture which really becomes art in and of itself.
I am very proud this feature made the cover, please look for your copy on news stands.
Happy and Healthy New Year

Police in south suburban Park Forest are searching for a suspect who may have groped several women in the area over the last few months.
Police are investigating after two incidents were reported within two days of each other this month.
The first incident took place just before 11 p.m. June 22 in the 300 block of Gettysburg Street.
Police said a woman, who had been walking her dog in the neighborhood, was approached by a man who walked up behind her, hugged her, and kissed her neck.
The man then grabbed the woman's chest and said he had a weapon, police said.
"He told me 'don't fight,' he had a gun," Essence Williams told NBC Chicago. "I started yelling to see if anyone would help me and he finally ran off."
The 18-year-old described the attacker as a black male in his mid-20s, around 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a medium-brown complexion, stubbly facial hair and sideburns. She also said he had crooked teeth with gaps between them.
Two days later, around 8 a.m., a female juvenile reported to officials at Rich East High School that she was grabbed by a man fitting the same description as she walked to school.
The victim said she was walking in the 200 block of Westwood Drive when she saw a man running toward her.
The man grabbed her buttocks before running away, police said.
Witnesses said the offender may have also had short braids or dreadlock-style hair, police said.
Authorities say the man described in the recent incidents matches the description of a suspect in several similar incidents from early spring.
Area residents said they're concerned about the increase in incidents.
"It bothers me quite a bit since it was on my street," said resident Kenneth Mood.
"It's a safe neighborhood, it really is, but one person is making it bad for everyone," said resident Angie Jackson.
And Williams is concerned the suspect will strike again.
"If I wouldn't have fought back or gotten loud I think he would have done more," she said. "If he didn't get to finish what he wanted with me, then he will probably get someone else."
Police are asking anyone with information surrounding the incidents to call (708) 748-1309.

During World War II, the War Department realized the importance of not only keeping up the morale of America's fighting forces abroad, but the morale of those at home. The result was an unprecedented push by Hollywood to contribute morale-building war dramas, troop entertainment, and training films to the war effort. Special radio programs, documentary films, and live performances told Americans at home that they too could serve in the defense of their country by purchasing war bonds, participating in scrap drives, planting Victory Gardens, and volunteering.
Experience the still-powerful images, radio, and film that emerged from this dramatic time in American history. Audio historian and former broadcaster John Jensen shares rarely known stories and anecdotes from Hollywood's war effort, and shows examples of wartime propaganda through various media that was used to educate, inform, and sway American public opinion.
A former San Francisco broadcaster, John Jensen has been an avid collector of music, movies, and radio broadcasts of the 1930s and 40s. Early fascination led to employment as general manager of KMPX, a radio station devoted to playing the music and radio broadcasts of those years. He produced a world-wide radio broadcast honoring the US Navy 200th Anniversary, starring Bing Crosby, Mel Blanc, and other radio stars from the 1940s. In 1992, he directed the 50th Anniversary Salute to Armed Forces Radio broadcast, heard world-wide. As an audio historian, he has provided research and assorted media to filmmakers, such as Jack Haley, Jr., Frances Ford Coppola, and George Lucas. He recently retired as senior director of public relations for World Vision. Since then he has been lecturing at various venues throughout the Puget Sound area on the Great Depression era and World War II.
Jensen lives in Federal Way.

You may know by now that digital marketing is oriented towards results. Its purpose is to satisfy customers while promoting your business/ideas/company.
Within this context, your content marketing strategy should be focused on delivering your desired results. You can measure results by conducting a content audit. This will help you determine how you rank in Google's searches results and help to identify what improvements you may have to undertake.
Tip: set yourself daily milestones in terms of content writing. Try to write new, engaging content on a daily basis. Filter your content with the help of a content audit.
The first step that you need to take in terms of marketing is to establish your audience and afterwards you may write your content. More specifically, know the person that you are selling to; your buyer persona. One way to achieve this is by interviewing your existing customers to identify what encourages them to purchase your product or service and what led them to visit your website in the first place. I, for example, am using a tool called typeform when conducting my interviews.
Once you have identified your buyer persona, you can create your content. But, you should never forget what your audience is looking to find out from your content. Afterall, you are writing for them and, through your content, you should be able to answer their questions and bring them solutions to their problems. Most of the time, your audience is looking for content that matches their needs. They are looking for answers and results without wasting too much of their time.
Below, you may find some examples of what topics to write about:
- Trends in the industry
- Advice about a certain issue/matter
- Events that are taking place in your industry, both locally and internationally
- Changes that may affect the industry (these may be technological, political, environmental or economic)
- Reviews of various products
- Answers to your audience's questions
- Comments on your audience's posts
- Important people from the industry
- Pros and cons
- News
- Interviews with specialists
- A beginner section
- Statistics
- How-to guides
- A list of necessary tools
- Important and useful books and articles
- Case studies
- Myth Buster
It is necessary to write about a single subject from those mentioned above and use it to create content for a couple of months. And, if you use content atomization, then you may not need to look for another subject for a long period.
Another important element for you to take into account when producing content is that your writing should be relevant, engaging and will convert your readers into customers. Your goal is to have a content marketing strategy that generates leads and sales.
Tip: before setting your content marketing strategy answer yourself the following questions:
- How can I get more users?
- How can I increase the rate of email subscriptions?
- How can I sell more to the people that visit or subscribe to my blog?
Steps to take for an effective content marketing strategy:
1. Include keywords in your writing
They will help this content to be found in a Google search (just don't abuse them). Focus on your SEO to ensure that your article is as visible and researchable as possible.
When doing on-site SEO you should keep the following in mind:
- The keywords that you intend to include in the content
- Ensure that your title includes an established keyword
- Short URLs that include keywords
- Subheadings with keywords
- Images
- Meta-descriptions with keywords in the beginning and a call-to-action at the end
- Links to other websites
- Links to previous content that you have produced to create a connection between your writings.
2. Look for pages or groups where people are asking questions about the topic that you are writing about
Link the audience to your content by including a link in your answer. This action is called link-building.
3. Don't let your content go unpromoted
Every new piece of content that you write and each update that you make to an old piece of writing, should be promoted to ensure your audience is aware of the changes. The best place to do this is social media. You may promote your content on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, and others. You may also include push notifications on your website or send an email update to your list when you publish new content on your website. Other useful methods of promotion are blogs, forums, and industry websites.
4. Convince people to buy what you are selling
You should never forget that the ultimate goal of writing content is to promote a product or service. That's why you need to include a link to your products or services in your content. You can offer the opportunity to download a demo, brochure, guide, or manual. This will help you to create engagement and interest while increasing your email list and your subscribers. The greater visibility that you have in a certain market, the greater the level of interest will be you and your products or services.
Tip: no matter what your area of activity may be, try and transform yourself into a brand and a specialist that people will follow.
5. Keep track of your results
Use analytical tools to measure the traffic to your website gets, the level of engagement, and the leads generated. One way to do this is through Google Analytics.

Two recent stories in the local news came to opposite conclusions regarding the changes in mass transit ridership in Princeton since the Dinky station was relocated. Both stories were overly simplistic in their analysis of ridership trends when comparing ridership at the old station on University Place with ridership at the new temporary station on Alexander Road.
The Princeton Packet reported last month that Dinky train ridership is down 13 percent when September and October of 2012 are compared with the same two months in 2013. Members of the group Save the Dinky had pointed out the lower ridership figures in a public forum attended by the new president of Princeton University a few weeks earlier.
But the story by the Packet reporter failed to account for the ridership on the free shuttle that Princeton University has provided (called the Tiger PaWW) between the old Dinky station on University Place and Princeton Junction.
According to data supplied by Princeton University officials, if Dinky train and Tiger PaWW ridership are combined, there was a net increase of 665 one-way "trips" when September of 2012 is compared with September of 2013.
September 2012 NJT passenger trips: 49,939
September 2013 NJT passenger trips: 43,223
Decrease of 6,716 passenger trips
TigerPaWW trips in September, 2013 7,381
Trip net increase 665
According to data for October, if Dinky train and Tiger PaWW ridership are combined, there was a net increase of 1,703 one-way "trips" when October of 2012 is compared with October of 2013.
October 2012 NJT passenger trips: 58,597
October 2013 NJT passenger trips: 50,759
Decrease of 7,838 trips
TigerPaWW trips in October of 2013 9,541
Trip net increase 1,703
Yesterday the student newspaper at Princeton University, the Daily Princetonian, ran a story with the headline "Mass transit users up by 15 percent despite fall in Dinky ridership."
The story attributes the increase in ridership possibly to people not wanting to drive to the Princeton Junction station in West Windsor to park, but does not offer any concrete data regarding parking figures at the Princeton station or the Princeton Junction station to back up the theory.
The story does not account for the fact that Hurricane Sandy happened on Oct. 29 of 2012. Ridership dropped significantly ahead of the storm that Monday as the winds picked up speed and people hunkered down in their homes. The New Jersey Transit system was shut down at midnight and did not operate the last two days of the month. The storm affected the last three days of the month, all weekdays, which is almost 10 percent of the month and 13 percent of the weekdays the train was scheduled to operate in October of 2012.
The story also does not account for the fact that some people take both the Dinky shuttle and the bus, and thus are possibly double-counted.
One also has to look at the number of trips the TigerPaWW makes to measure its success. On weekdays in the fall, the Tiger PaWW made 80 trips between the temporary Dinky station and Princeton Junction, according to the fall schedule. On weekends the Tiger PaWW made 56 trips a day.
Based on that schedule, for September of 2013 the Tiger PaWW made 1,680 weekday trips between Princeton and Princeton Junction, and 504 weekend trips, for a total of 2,184 trips. That is an average of 3.37 passengers per bus trip.
For October of 2013, the Tiger PaWW made 1,840 weekday trips between Princeton and Princeton Junction according to the bus schedule posted online, and 448 weekend trips, for a total of 2,288 trips. That is an average of 4.17 passengers per bus trip.
During peak times like Sunday nights when students are returning to campus, it is common to see 10 people riding the shuttle. During weekend and weekday daytime hours, it is common to see one or two people riding the shuttle.
The municipal FreeB shuttle commuter service suffers from the same low average ridership-per-trip problem. The shuttle travels between several points in Princeton and the new temporary Dinky station between 5:15 and 8:30 in the morning and evening.
The shuttle makes 322 trips a month. In October, 891 passengers took a one-way trip on the shuttle. That averages out to 2.8 passengers per trip. It would probably be cheaper for the municipality to pay for a taxi ride for each passenger than to run the shuttle service.
The daytime FreeB, which makes seven one-hour loops through town, fares a little better. In October the shuttle made 189 loops and logged 1,659 passenger trips, for an average of 8.7 passengers per trip.
