Illegal dumpsites pilling up
WISE COUNTY, Va. - More than 1,000 illegal dumpsites have been mapped out in Southwest Virginia, with hundreds of them in Wise County.
It's an ongoing fight for Wise County litter control. Many of these dump sites have been found only a quarter of a mile from the convenience center where people can dump their trash.
"It's always been a problem," said Jim Stanley.
Stanley showed us an illegal dumpsite where left over asphalt, trash and debris was left for someone else to clean up. Stanley says the longer the trash sits, the more people add to it. "They'll come down, they'll see this and say, ;okay we can dump here,;" he said.
"Once you see something start to go down, everybody feels like it's ok; 'that's the acceptable place to dispose of my product,'" said Greg Cross, Litter Prevention and Recycling Coordinator.
Cross says it doesn't just happen there; he told us Southwest Virginia has mapped over 1,200 illegal dumpsites and 400 of them are in Wise County alone. "We're managing to clean up about 50 a year, but there's always new ones that spring up, sometimes in the same place," said Cross.
But Cross says there are some things they can't clean up, like asphalt, especially after it's hardened. "We have no way of getting that up, our department doesn't have the resources to handle that," said Cross.
He tells us if a person is caught, it is a class one misdemeanor; and the person can get up to a year in prison or a 5 thousand dollar fine. But many never are caught and continue to pollute the community. "Littering is the hardest crime to catch someone at," said Cross. Especially when the things that are left are hard to tie a name to.
Cross says they'll continue to press forward and clean the dumpsites, in hopes to eventually rid the county of them all. "Of the 430 we've located here in Wise County, we're probably down to 200-250. So we're moving headway," said Cross.
Cross says it's up to the community to report illegal dumpsites and then testify in court to help stop the problem.

Momentum And The Stanley Cup
Jonathan Willis
April 04 2009 11:10AM
There's an idea floating around out there that a team needs to be hot going into the playoffs. That idea is totally and completely wrong. What I have here is a chart of the last ten Stanley Cup champions. Using Hockey-Reference.com, I went back and reviewed their respective records over the final ten games of the season. Than I calculated the winning percentage and compared it to their winning percentage on the season. The final column is the difference:
Team | WN% - Last 10 | WN%-Season | Difference 1997-98 Red Wings | 60% | 54% | +6% 2007-08 Red Wings| 70% | 66% | +4% 1998-99 Stars | 60% | 62% | -2% 2000-01 Avalanche | 60% | 63% | -3% 1999-00 Devils | 50% | 55% | -5% 2003-04 Lightning | 50% | 56% | -6% 2006-07 Ducks | 50% | 59% | -9% 2005-06 Hurricanes | 50% | 63% | -13% 2002-03 Devils | 40% | 56% | -16% 2001-02 Red Wings | 10% | 62% | -52% Average | 50% | 58% | -8%
Teams that go on to win the Stanley Cup are generally very good in the regular season; no team had a lower number than 54% over that span, and the average was 58% (48 wins on the season). However, over the final ten games of the season the average squad won only five of them, meaning that their winning percentage dropped an astonishing 8% on average over those final ten games.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think this shows rather definitively that expressions like "clicking at the right time" are in fact not based in reality – momentum entering the playoffs means absolutely nothing when it comes to winning the Stanley Cup.
Oh, and that picture above? That's the presentation of the Stanley Cup in 2002; the Detroit Red Wings won it despite one win in their final ten games.
What might be more important and albeit more difficult to find, is how often these teams rested crucial players down the stretch. The rest and time to heal nagging injuries might be the difference between teams in a long and protracted second season.
Good post. Momentum is such an abstract detail, but it's not hard to see how top-tiered teams tend to not dominate near season's end. If you've clinched your division, you rest your top forwards, get some prospects called up to get some experience against teams that are going to be playing hard against you... that's the best thing to do.
What about the underdogs though? In the 05-06 run, do you think squeaking into the playoffs near the end gave the Oilers momentum to pass Detroit?
April 04 2009, 12:03PM
@ nickxero:
At some point in the future I'm going to take every post-lockout team and compare their record over the final ten with their playoff results.
I haven't done it all yet, but things look pretty random so far.
Jonathnan, I like your stuff but sometimes I wonder if you put a set of numbers together to invoke controversy. It's not momentum being discussed here as much as confidence.
The teams you mentioned above were strong enough to discount the final ten games of the season as a preparatory phase to their cup runs. They rested key guys and slid into the post season because they had the confidence in their team game beforehand. I mean, when you're at the top of the conference, what's to play for? Generally speaking, most contending teams full of the veterans you need to go the distance would probably not be able to sustain a torrid pace and still be able to maintain top form in the finals.
The playoffs are a mental and physical grind. Those teams that pace themselves going in will have made best use of their assets and give themselves the best chance win. The smart coach knows that playing well when it counts is what it's all about. Fans on the other hand would have top teams playing their guts out all the time. Why should they?
April 04 2009, 12:46PM
How would you reconcile your article with the fact that only twice since 1990, the team with the shortest break going into the Stanley Cup finals - that played the longer series in the Conference Finals - did not win the cup. The exceptions were the 96 Panthers, losing to the Avalance after going the full seven games against Pittsburgh, and the 93 Kings, again going the full seven games only to lose to the Canadiens.
It would seem that the longer break causes teams to lose momentum, and subsequently lose to the teams that just get to keep trucking along. See also: Hemsky, Ales, and the All-Star break.
There's a very long time frame between the last 10 games of the regular season and winning the Stanley Cup. I don't know why anyone would expect to see a significant correlation there.
One thing that might be more interesting to look at, in my opinion at least, is the First Round success of teams related to their winning percentage in the Last 10 games of the regular season. Do the underdogs have a better chance at an upset if they're hot in the last 10 games? Are the favorites more prone to be upset if they're cold in the last 10 games?

Neither do I, yet somehow they do.
highly scientific and exactly the kind of journalistic fudgery that say .... Mark Spector would delight in reporting .... or, maybe that other wunderkind of subjective statistics, David Staples.
.... but just maybe(?) ...wait a minute(!) .... was this asinine post just some misdirection to take our minds off of the national humiliation being played out at Rexall?
if so .... well done Willis, well done.
Momentum is built during the playoffs, not over the final 10 meaningless games for most of these clubs.
April 04 2009, 05:33PM
@ jk: @ Peter Pan: @ David S:
I said exactly what I meant - that record going into the playoffs seems to have no connection to winning the Stanley Cup.
I'm not the one who labelled record down the stretch as "momentum" initially; I used that word because I've heard it described as such by journalists. If you'd like, I can dig up links.

Comment Period for Gateway West Transmission Line Project Continues
The comment period on the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the Gateway West Transmission Line in Wyoming and Idaho continues through Friday, June 28, 2013. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) encourages interested individuals to review and comment.
The Gateway West Transmission Line Project, proposed by Idaho Power and Rocky Mountain Power, would construct nearly 990 miles of high voltage transmission lines across southern Wyoming and southern Idaho adding 3,000 megawatts (MW) of transmission capacity. The transmission lines would originate at the proposed Windstar substation near Glenrock, Wyo. and terminate at the Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho, approximately 20 miles southwest of Boise.
The FEIS responds to comments received on the draft EIS and agency-preferred alternative by making clarifications and changing some segment routes. The FEIS also explains that the BLM is considering a phased decision for this project, which would allow for approval of certain segments of the project while providing an opportunity for various Federal, State and local permitting agencies to collaborate on final siting for one or more other segments.
Potential phased decisions could only occur for segments that have independent utility – those portions of the entire proposed line that could be built and put into service regardless of later decisions on other segments. If the BLM chooses to approve only a portion of the project in an initial decision, this would not preclude the agency's ability to choose the "No Action" alternative for the remainder of the project. It is expected that segments located in Wyoming will be reviewed first.
Copies of the FEIS are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations in Wyoming:
Copies of the FEIS are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations in Idaho:
Copies of the FEIS are also available in public libraries in project-area communities and to interested parties that previously requested a copy. A limited number of copies of the document are available as supplies last. To request a copy, contact Walt George, Project Manager, BLM Wyoming State Office, P.O. Box 20879, Cheyenne, WY 82003, 307-775-6116.
Comments may also be made to the BLM via the project Web site at: www.wy.blm.gov/nepa/cfodocs/gateway_west, via the project e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) or in writing to BLM, Gateway West Project, P.O. Box 20879, Cheyenne, WY 82003. To be most useful, public comments should be received by Friday, June 28, 2013.
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your protest, you should be aware that your entire protest – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you may ask us in your protest to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Oh man, I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to enjoy Yo Gabba Gabba!.
Until then, I'll just have to watch the delightful kids' show myself, which is very easy to do when it's is filled with super-cool guest stars.
This weekend Jason Bateman pops up on a new episode of the series. He plays a spy who "runs off with the Gabba gang's balloon art." Also featured on the ep is musical guest Peter Bjorn and John, so set the DVR.
Here's an adorable scene where (spoiler alert) the Gabba gang surprises Bateman in his secret lair:

It's now impossible to tell a Versace apart from a Cavalli. You know who this dress is for? This dress is for people who graduate in style from Ed Hardy. This dress is the natural progression. Why is Halle Berry dressing like she's Christian Audigier's wife? Check how it's billowing on the right side of her chest, making it look like she's swollen in one breast. Check the hip skin on one side, giving the illusion that she has a tattoo there, like she's climbing out of a pool in Vegas. And it is such a shame, isn't it? Because, God, from the shoulders up, the hair, her skin, her FACE, she is... spectacular.

A racing shoe built for distances up to the marathon, the Saucony Fastwitch 6 gives you a fast ride with a touch of support.
Though the Fastwitch has long been a popular option as a fast and lightweight shoe that doesn't scrimp on support, many felt that Saucony missed its mark with version 5. With this latest update, Saucony looks for redemption, and we think this version is a big step in the right direction.
The midsole may appear unchanged at first glance, however Saucony subtly tweaked the midsole composition, resulting in a softer and more resilient ride, as well as a smother transition. Testers appreciated the change, especially over longer distances where firmer cushioning may be undesirable.
Fit-wise, the Fastwitch 6 features an upper that sits close to the foot for reduced slippage during fast running. The shoe never feels overly tight, however, and testers had no problems with blisters or discomfort, even during longer distances.
With a 4mm heel to toe offset, the Fastwitch 6 certainly promotes a fast and efficient run. Combined with balanced cushioning and a bit of support, expect this shoe to be a popular choice for half and full marathon distances.
"This shoe definitely packs a decent amount of support for a racing shoe. Its great for mild overpronators, though I think moderate overpronators might want to save it for race day only."
"This version is definitely softer than the previous. I think those who thought the Fastwitch 5 was too firm should give version 6 another try."
"I like this shoe for the half marathon distance. It's a little less shoe than I'd want for a full marathon, but it can definitely be done."

Chapter 42
Jeremiah promises Johanan and the remnant of Judah peace and safety if they remain in Judah, but the sword, famine, and pestilence if they go to Egypt.

ReGeneration Chair by Knoll
designed by Formway Design
At a Glance:
Like the original Generation Chair, the Knoll ReGeneration Chair is pared down to the essence, the spirit, the elemental level. Simple to use and incredibly comfortable, the ReGeneration Chair is one of those chairs you get, sit and go. The adjustments are simple and minimal, yet provide functionality and responsiveness you expect from a top-quality office chair.
What's to Like:
The ReGeneration Chair is designed to support you as you work and move. With a minimal design, the ReGeneration Chair weighs in at only 26 pounds. That lightness lets you move about with ease and gives you assurance that no materials were wasted in your office chair's construction. With a slim back and flex seat that responds to your movement the ReGeneration Chair is a new beast in the ergonomic office category.
What's Not to Like:
When a company with the proven track record of Knoll produces such an ergonomic and environmentall friendly office chair its tough to find negatives, but we'll give it a try. With simplicity and ease of use you lose the adjustability and customization that many other office chairs can provide.
Bottom Line:
High-performance, easy to use, environmentally friendly, and oh yeah the Knoll ReGeneration Chair looks great too. In the past Knoll may not have been known for its ergonomic office chairs, but with the Generation Chair and now the ReGeneration Chair it won't be long until they become a staple in the ergonomic office chair industry.

Comments about Knoll ReGeneration Chair:
I use this as my desk chair, and I sit at the computer too long. I usually walk away with pain in my left thigh--a longtime and chronic problem. I was skeptical when I received the chair, partly because for such an expensive chair it lacked lumbar-support adjustment. But after I sat in it for the usual length of time, I stood and was surprised that I didn't experience pain in my thigh. That alone is worth the price of this expensive but attractive chair.

In 1971, the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act officially recognized that the wild horses and burros are living symbols of the pioneer spirit of the American West. Congress decreed "...that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death...and [that] they are...an integral part of the natural system of the public lands."
In 1972, Congress further determined that the public could help BLM manage the growing population of wild horses and burros by adopting animals. To date, over 140,000 animals have been successfully adopted. Many are family pets, some are working horses and others give their domestic peers stiff competition in show arenas and on competitive trail and endurance rides. A few of the more celebrated horses are used by the US Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard and the US Army Caisson Platoon's 3rd US Infantry (The Old Guard) based in Washington, DC.

The event is free to the public. There is no pre-registration. Sheep watchers are encouraged to bring a pair of binoculars, spotting scope and camera.
The DWR will guide participants up the Green River, adjacent to the town of Green River. Biologists will have extra spotting scopes and binoculars for public use. The DWR will also provide a large passenger vehicle for those who wish to ride along.
The event begins on Friday evening at 7 p.m. at the Carbon County Events Center at 393 S. Fairgrounds Road. To get to the fairgrounds, exit State Highway 6 at the west Price exit, which is Exit 240. At the off-ramp stop light, turn right. Travel west. Follow the signs to the fairground.
Justin Shannon, DWR regional wildlife program manager, will present a PowerPoint program on bighorn sheep ecology and life history. Mr. Shannon's graduate thesis was on this very subject. Bighorn skulls and horns will be displayed as part of his presentation.
The following morning, participants will meet at the John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River at 8 a.m. The museum is located at 1765 E. Main Street.
From there, the group will travel up the Green River in search of bighorn sheep. The road up the Green River changes from asphalt to gravel and then to packed dirt, but is suitable for passenger cars.
Bighorns are in the rut at this time of year and are less wary of human presence. They allow closer approach by vehicles as their attention is turned to courtship and breeding. Occasionally, equally matched rams engage in head-butting. At other times, a superior ram will harass or drive off a smaller ram.
Because bighorn sheep are wild and unpredictable, the DWR can't guarantee that sheep will be seen. Participants need to be aware of that possibility at the outset. Regardless of the outcome, the beauty of the Green River will make the trip worthwhile for everyone who attends.

Zoom Centipede 4" 20pk
The Zoom Centipede is an excellent choice for heavily pressured fish. These are "do nothing" worms that can make the difference between a good day or a bad day on the water. The Zoom Centipede has been used for years on a Carolina rig, but also is a great bait for shakey heading as well as split shotting, darter heads, Texas rigging or drop shotting. Its muted action and deadness appeals to fish, especially in cold water. The Zoom Centipedes slow life-less glide is indicative of the way the underwater world behaves at colder temperatures. All Zoom Baits also feature super soft, salt-impregnated plastic that bass will fight to hold on to.

Customer Reviews
Comments: If I was going to take someone bass fishing for their first time this is what I would give them. Carolina, Drop Shot, Flick Shake Head it doesn't matter, they will eat it. So simple to fish and so deadly. Love 'em!!!!!
From: Geo: MI 3/21/15
Comments: a wacky rigged June bug colored zoom centipede might be the best finesse lure out there for the potomac river when the fish have seen 1000 lures from the almost daily tournaments they have. I've made about $8500 on this lure alone.
From: The Frog: VA 7/2/14
Comments: A great choice on a mojo rig or carolina rig when the bass are turned off. It doesn't look like much but it flat catches bass, especially during poor bites.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 4/18/14
Comments: Works great any way you rig it. My favorite way is to put it on a 1/0 or 2/0 straight shank and use it as a finesse punching bait.
Comments: I like this bait rigged any way, but i actually like it wacky rigged.
From: Riley: Atlanta
Comments: Best bait in the world. Cast this right to the tip of a pier in the bassmasters invational(my first cast of the tourny) let it sit for 3 seconds and wham 6.9 pounder in the boat. Took third over all the best is green pumpkin or somekin blue.
From: Bob: Detroit
Comments: Fished for 3 hours on a fluke with no bites today. Out of frustration, I remembered I had a bag of some of my, "old go to Zoom Centipedes" and decided to rig one up on a carolina rig. Bam, 6.7 lb bass in the boat!!!! I love em and thank goodness I was reminded again why the were once my soft plastic of choice.
From: David: Pflugerville, TX
Comments: These baits are simply amazing and they flat out catch fish! I use these for dropshotting and flickshaking. I've caught smallmouth and largemouth just using them straight out of the package. However, I got creative and "modified" them to increase the action and change the presentation for both dropshotting and flickshaking and I have seen noticeable results in both the number of bites and hook ups. As always, Zoom Plastics are pretty durable compared to a lot of soft plastics. I've caught 5 smallmouth on the same piece before it tore off the hook. That's testament enough to the durability. I bought them in Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Candy, and Smokin Blue and all 3 colors have produced for me.
From: Elijah: Seattle, WA
Comments: I can not believe no one has written a review on this.This bait is money in the bank.When things are tough use this bait.I can not tell you how much money or how many bass I have caught on this bait.To much and to many to count.Great bait

text: Monday's Boston Marathon explosions have devastated the city and its residents. Lost in the tragedy's aftermath was the typically joyful post-marathon celebration – a payoff for the participants' months of training. UMass Amherst economics lecturer John Stifler was at the race. He also writes about running for New England Runner Magazine and the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Stifler spoke to New England Public Radio's Henry Epp about the future of the race's security and what it was like for runners who were stopped short of the finish line.

By PATSY STODDARDStaff, Emery County Progress
At the recent rangeland and livestock conference held in St. George, Attorney Glenn Davies gave the attendees advice on the legal system as it pertains to them and grazing rights. Davies is counsel for the Farm Bureau and also for many permittees. Davies was described as being a defender against environmentalists.
Davies began by examining the appeal process for the Bureau of Land Management and for the forest service. He described the BLM as having a reasonably independent line of authority to review and examine appeals. He described the appeal process at the forest service as being all within the agency and the appeal usually goes back to guy who gave the instructions in the first place. The only information used in their review is the ranger file with no outside information.
Davies encouraged ranchers to get involved early in the administrative file and make sure your record is in the file. This will give you a leg up. "Meet with the BLM manager and discuss ideas and tentative agreements and then make a record of things you have discussed and plans of action you intend to take; then send a copy of this letter to the manager so it can be included in your file on your allotment. The manager will make a memo of your meeting and if you have not sent a letter; should a dispute ever arise he has a memo and you have nothing. Now, who is the judge most likely to believe? Write out a letter, get a record it saves problems down the road.
"In the disputes with the environmentalists they always have paper documentation. You need to send your manager information on your allotment, studies, anything that pertains to it. You need to paper your record with your information. You have 15 days to protest a proposed decision. An individual group or organization can submit a written request to be involved in the process on specific grazing allotments. Anybody can submit a written request to participate in decision making on your allotment.
"Joe Feller, an environmentalist years ago encouraged his group and other environmentalists to adopt an allotment. Have any of you checked to see if anyone has filed on your allotment to be involved in the decision making process? Be aware and be advised," warned Davies.
Southern Wilderness Alliance and Western Watersheds are appealing each renewal as it is made. The permittee is not a party to the appeal. He will have no right to participate and can submit no evidence or call any witnesses. The right to intervene is not automatic. The BLMs final decision is suspended for the 30 day appeal period on the 31st day the decision will be put into force and effect unless there is a motion to stay. SUWA is protesting every one of the renewed grazing permits. They want to deny BLM the right to issue your permit.
Getting a stay is not easy. Grounds must be demonstrated in four areas. It is difficult to get, similar to getting an injunction. Providing that the Office of Hearing and Appeals stays the decision the permittee is granted use according to preceding use and can continue at that level. The effectiveness of the stay is that the permittee is protected and can graze according to the preceding grazing season as long as the stay is in effect. SUWA does not like that statement. There are two judges employed by the Office of Hearing and Appeals who are independent of BLM. They have a backlog of cases.
Davies went on to explain the appellant process and the need for permittees to become involved in the process as an intervening party. Should a trial become necessary, the permittee will be able to submit evidence and call witnesses and make exhibits. The decision of the law judge will be based on the condition of the resource and by looking at the facts. They will try to use what's available to make a decision. The decision is final with a 30 day window of appeal. "If you did not become a party to the appellate law judge's decision proceedings you will have no right to appeal. File as an intervening party to keep the right to appeal," stressed Davies.
"It's you against the environmental parties, get some public interest on your behalf, county commissioners, SITLA, Farm Bureau; get groups on your side. You need an additional voice of your positions. When the case is closed no new evidence or new ideas can be submitted, the record is closed.
"Environmental groups are attacking NEPA policys and challenging whether NEPA procedures are being followed. Before the federal government or agencies can take any action which potentially impacts the environment they must examine the impacts. An environmental assessment must be made if it is a significant impact. Before proceeding to make a decision an environmental statement must be made assessing all impacts. Back in the 70s this study determined that grazing livestock were in NEPA compliance. Environmentalists are challenging the decision of the agency whether it followed law and they will look at it brand new with regard to compliance. This is SUWAs primary attack," said Davies.
Davies pointed out that the BLM lacks the manpower or the resources to do assessments on an area by area basis. Which SUWA interprets as a readymade appeal of every grazing decision. "BLM cannot meet those standards. It is SUWAs goal to shut down grazing on the public lands, that's what they want to do. That's the direction they're going. We need to get involved. to make sure BLM is making good decisions. To stand and say it's good enough and here's why. It's practical and meets everything the law intended. The ranchers and the wool growers need to make a commitment. It is of grave importance to the ranching community to be involved. It is SUWA's goal to do away with all grazing in the next 10-15 years. SUWA will not compromise. Some of the environmental community will work with you and when they do it is a win-win situation. Look for the positive, grazing is good for the environment, publicize the positive," said Davies.
Ranchers were invited to ask questions and one rancher expressed his concern that they (ranchers) are always trying to improve the land and they are looked at as the bad guys. One rancher said the ranchers are not selfish with public land but the environmental movement is and they try to tie the land up which is selfish. "It is difficult to develop partnerships with the environmentalists when they are not interested in making concessions. We're the good guys and the media will not print our stories," he stated.
One rancher issued the challenge to environmentalists to take the barren land and do something productive with it like the ranchers have done.
One rancher brought up the American Disabilities Act and what would happen if someone who qualified for ADA filed a lawsuit because their access to public lands is denied and will be more so if more wilderness is designated. Davies commented that access by disabled Americans poses a very interesting question but to his knowledge no suits of this kind have ever been filed.
One rancher spoke in support of his environmental specialist who keeps them on their toes and helps them do honest evaluations. The need for getting the word out on the good things the ranchers are doing on their allotments was stressed at the conference as well as the need for documentation of their files on individual allotments.

Digital marketing is a complex subject that can be divided into multiple subtopics. To put it simply digital marketing is marketing via electronic devices such as cellphones, personal computers, tablets, or smartphones. Digital marketers use these devices to reach to potential clients or to stakeholders in a quick and efficient manner.
The technologies that are currently applied by digital marketing include but are not limited to e-mail, classic and mobile apps, websites, social networks, SMS, and more. Most successful business use a combination of any of these options, if not all of them.
Hire an Internet Marketing Consultant
If you are just starting with your local offline business, or have established it already but your understanding of digital marketing needs polishing, a great investment that you may want to consider is hiring an expert. That's right, a great internet marketing consultant. Nobody expects you to know everything! Marketing is a separate skill from your business, unless you earn a living as a marketer. Trying to do everything yourself, including your business and your marketing, will likely result in poorer overall quality of everything you do, simply because you will not have time to accomplish all the tasks with the high quality that is required to keep your clients happy, and gain new clients. These two parameters, keeping clients and getting more clients, are two different sides of the same coin, which is your business!

Lambert drew this remarkable pencil study of an unidentified Light Horse officer while he was a patient at the 14th Australian General Hospital in Abbassia. He emphasised the subject's features with pencil outline and then built up his face with shading. He captured an image of a man physically at repose, but also seeming to be in a state of calm and at peace with himself.
In depicting this head in an unusual fashion – lying down – Lambert gave it an added interest. By showing the officer in close focus he created a sense of intimacy, looking at him with a greater intensity than we might usually experience with a stranger. As in so many of his oil portraits Lambert used his pencil not only to capture the structure of the face, but also to evoke the pulsating sense of life under the skin.
Lambert's inscription 'PENCIL PORTRAIT of L.H. Officer' in formal capitals signifies that this is more than a sketch; it is a formal portrait, like those he made in pencil of society ladies and gentlemen in London.

Evolv Kaos Shoe Review
Evolv Kaos, $115
- Steep rock: 2 Star
- Face climbing: 3.5 Star
- Long routes: 1 Star
- Upper: Synthetic, lined
- Rubber: 4mm Trax XT-5
This moderately stiff Velcro shoe is a good face climber, with an Anasazi-type flat last and good forward tension. It would have scored higher if it hadn't been such a bear to wear. The heel cup is exceptionally deep and the slingshot rand yanks against the Achilles tendon. Evolv offers split pairs with different left and right sizing for a small extra charge.
+ Edges well.

This morning talk show host sipped booze out of a flask all morning yesterday and had her assistant fill it back to the top during every break. The very attractive host was hammered by the end of the show.
Jenny McCarthy
Don't blame herReplyCancel
At least she's enjoying The View.ReplyCancel
Why wasn't this idiot just irishing up her coffee?ReplyCancel
Drinking too much might cause people to think you are autistic.ReplyCancel
Well, I guess if you find idiocy attractive…ReplyCancel
Funny Jenny doesn't seem like a drinker or that she'd be so unprofessional to drink and work. Although I gotta say, I'll bet she'd be funny to hang with if she was drinking. I just can't see a producer or director putting up with this. She needs the job too bad also.ReplyCancel
I call bullshit.
Jenny is not "very attractive."ReplyCancel
Jason has very good taste.ReplyCancel
Impaired communication skills is one type of autism. Someone who is drunk can have impaired communication skills.ReplyCancel
I say let the girl drink. And then we can all watch her take a bath.ReplyCancel

Yesterday I received a call from one of my high school teachers who I remain in touch with. She wanted to ask me about my Bell's Palsy as she now has a friend who has been diagnosed with it.
Nine years ago today I diagnosed my Bell's Palsy. I still recall that summer day well. It was a Saturday. A beautiful sunny summer day.
I was home alone with my dogs (Columbo, Girlfriend, and Ladybug) as my husband was working out of town. I was on ER call. I had had a horrible headache the past few days with severe pain in my right ear.
I can recall noticing my face in the bathroom mirror mid-morning and thinking my mouth didn't look quite right. I ignored it. Later that day as the ascending paralysis of Bell's Palsy progressed, I would not be able to ignore it.
As far as the world can see now, all my facial function returned. There are some very minor things that still bug me – the teeth on the right side of my mouth are very sensitive (I use Senodyne toothpaste which helps but find I avoid professional cleaning on a regular basis). Sometimes the right facial muscles feel tight so I will try to discretely massage them. When I am really tired, my right eye gets an odd "itching" sensation.
One of these days I want to do a self-portrait quilt (ala Picasso) that reflects my face (or my perception of it) during the Bell's Palsy episode.
I disliked speaking during the weeks when my mouth didn't work. I never drooled but the poor control over the right side of my mouth made some words difficult to pronounce (plosive constant's need a good lip seal). It seemed to me that people had more trouble understanding me over the phone than in person.
My friend's phone call brought it all back so very clearly.

Really nice looking shoe
"I wear flats most of the time and find it hard to find attractive flats that aren't classic ballerinas. These are really elegant and make a pants suit more dressy. DSW ran out of the grey in my size, the grey was particularly awesome, however the navy is also very nice. One thing, they do run a little small so you might consider going up half a size."

"I have narrow feet, so jumped at the chance to order this shoe online when I saw it came in that width. The fact that it was actually fashionable -- and had unique detailing, to boot -- made it especially appealing! I was dismayed, however, when I tried it on and discovered that the narrow was TOO narrow. My toes felt crunched. The shoe is also very stiff, making it difficult to flex the foot as you walk and rubbing against the ankle. And maybe it was just me, but the narrowness made my foot look awkwardly thin and long. I sadly returned it. If you go with this shoe, I suggest maybe ordering a size larger than you would normally."

Pretty and Unique!
"I was looking for some dressy flats for work when I stumbled across these shoes online. I have another pair of VanEli shoes in the same shade of grey suede that I love but don't wear as often because they're a pretty high heel. I als really liked the detail on the toe. And while I liked them online, I loved them once I saw them in person! The almond shaped toe plus the grey suede is so pretty and they don't look like any other flats in my closet.I'm always an 8.5 or a 9 in flats, depending on the style of the shoe. They were out of 8.5 in grey so I gave the 9 a shot and they're perfect! My foot feels secure in the shoe but not squeezed and I have just enough wiggle room for my toes. The only downside is that the shoe itself is very stiff, so it rubs against the back and the sides of my ankle. But since these aren't meant for a lot of walking, I think they'll be fine with a little moleskin along the edge for padding"

The Grape One
December 10 2007 10:54AM
Wayne Gretzky, Edmonton's prodigal son and corporate shill, has moved to the business of wine-making. Or, rather, he's asked someone else in the Niagara region to do it for him.
We went out to the liquor store the other night with a mission: buy beer. And we accomplished this mission. But we accomplished another, more important, mission: buy a bottle of the Great One's wine. So we did. And as Christmas is on its way, the OilersNation team is going to consume this wine, and rate if for you.
What do we know about wine? Well, generally, it contains more alcohol than beer. And it enables one to play hockey as good as Wayne.
And we will prove this to you. So stay tuned.
Wayne is totally annoying, what with his multiple stunts to cash in on his stupid fame to sell pants and wine. ARG!
December 10 2007, 02:12PM
I own a Gretzky Collection sweater. It's made of kevlar and if someone ever shoots a puck at me while I'm wearing it, the puck bounces off the sweater, hits the assailant and EXPLODES.

A hundred student-actors, countless others building, painting and creating sets and props and four big backdrops are the recipe for New Albany High School's production of "Annie."
It's an entire high school effort, bringing together many freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors as they work together toward the show.
"It's a combination of everybody working together," said director Sylvia Nanney, who's directing the play with her husband, Phil, and their daughter, NAHS teacher Mary Beth Muncie. "They're gonna do a fabulous job. They've worked hard."
In the musical, little orphan Annie is searching for her parents when her path crosses that of the serious millionaire Oliver Warbucks. Annie finds the father she was always looking for in "Daddy" Warbucks, and gets out of the clutches of cruel orphanage director Miss Hannigan.
Lyndi Stokes, a senior, stars as Annie, complete with red dress and bright orange curly hair.
"Annie is always optimistic," Stokes said. "I want to be more like her and be more optimistic in life."
Walter Smith, also a senior, stars as the millionaire Warbucks, who comes to love little Annie.
He's having fun in the play, even singing and dancing.
"Fortunately, I don't get to do as much dancing," he said, laughing.
Students like Smith have worked since November to bring "Annie" to life. Art students have created props and painted sets, while construction students have overseen the creation of parts of the stage.
Stokes invites all "Annie" fans to see what the high school has done with the classic story.
"It's a hopeful play," she said. "It will bring joy to their hearts."

I may change your mind about your role as a nurse. Because my journey in nursing has been so rich, including working as a helicopter transport nurse, high-risk neonatal nurse, maternal-child nurse and nurse-midwife, you can see that nursing takes you to a lot of different places.
It's a great profession because there is so much you can do. We're on the brink of a revolution in nursing. Nurses are at the table now with healthcare reform. We have the opportunity of a lifetime to make the changes in how healthcare is provided to our patients. We can step up to the plate and do great things. I want you to be inspired to do that.
I see you through the learning process where you evolve from a student to a student nurse to a nurse. It's great to see you grow and mature.
I learn so much from teaching. I can't give the same lecture every semester since nursing information changes all the time. I constantly have to review all the drugs and diseases to see what's new. And because of the Internet, you are very savvy, and often, you give me places to look for information. So you will teach me a lot.
That as a nursing midwife in private practice, I attended the birth of 600 babies.
Also, I used to weigh over 300 pounds, and several years ago I lost 130 pounds. Since I was inspired to take my health in hand, I have run in the Detroit Free Press Marathon twice. Maybe you can inspire someone to become healthier.

Kim Jong-un Has a Hot Wife
Well, we now know who the sexy mystery woman Kim Jong-un was spotted with at the big Disney concert this month was: His wife, Ri Sol Ju. North Korean media confirmed Kim Jong-un was married and identified his wife for the first time today. Now the real question: Is she hot?
The entire world hoped rumors that the woman was Kim Jong-un's married mistress were true, thus revealing Kim Jong-un to be the North Korean equivalent of the highly entertaining horn dog Italian ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Alas, buried deep in a Wednesday North Korean state media report on Kim Jong-un's visit to a resort was the revelation that the woman who has been seen with him at numerous public events was his wife. The two are rumored to have been married in 2010. Ri Sol Ju "studied science and is from an upper-class family, her father being a professor and her mother an obstetrician," according to the BBC. Boooring.
As North Korea analysts have debated the political ramifications of the announcement, Twitter has, of course, debated Ri Sol Ju's hotness. And Twitter says yes, she is hot:
she's hot, he's so not. oh wait, he's a dictator. RT@YahooNews North Korean state TV says leader Kim Jong Un married. yhoo.it/OZrBIf
— Kristen Sze TV News (@abc7kristensze) July 25, 2012
Hey, Kim Jong Un's wife is kinda hot. #lemmegetdat
— Dan_Marr (@Man_Darr) July 25, 2012
Kim Jong-un got married! I'm actually happy for him lol his wife is hot too. And hes whipped to the point where hes doing fairly good things
— Eduardo Rodriguez (@Eddie_Gravity) July 25, 2012
Kim Jong Un's new wife is UNbelievably hot. #IHateMe
— Jeff K (@GeoffConwrath) July 25, 2012
(The first video of North Korea's first lady to must have helped sway the vote.)
So Kim Jong-un managed to find an attractive wife, despite sporting about 50 extra pounds and a haircut that hasn't been in style since the Dream Team. Just goes to show there's hope after all for all the chubby nerds with a nuclear arsenal and absolute power in their country.

(April 18, 2012) -- Fiesta San Antonio officially kicks off Thursday, and UTSA will reign over the festivities with the best Fiesta medal for 2012. WOAI TV announced Wednesday that UTSA won the online competition as part of "Best of San Antonio" Fiesta edition.
The honor for best Fiesta medal was a special treat for President Ricardo Romo who designed the UTSA medal.
"I'm not surprised, because so many people love UTSA and this medal represents the spirit of UTSA," said Romo. "Our students deserve the credit because they voted and got others to vote. Without them and the great work they do in the classroom and on campus, this would not be possible."
Medals are an essential part of Fiesta. Organizations across town create medals to sell or give away with the goal of collecting as many as possible. King Antonio XLIX is credited with starting the tradition in 1971 when he put 200 royal coins on ribbons and distributed them at Fiesta events.
The Department of Biology and the Be the Match Team will collaborate to engage and educate our students in the importance of a life saving donation through peripheral blood stem cells and a marrow harvest.

Pitted against powerhouse vocalist Adam Lambert during the show's finale, Allen emphasized his wide-ranging abilities as a musician, playing piano during a cover of "Ain't No Sunshine" and strumming the guitar for an acoustic take on Kanye West's "Heartless." The instrumental accompaniment paid off, as Allen won the competition on May 20, 2009.
Born in 1985 in Jacksonville, Arkansas, Kristopher Neil Allen embraced music at an early age. He took up the viola during middle school, earning a spot in Arkansas' all-state orchestra before teaching himself to play guitar several years later. While studying business at the University of Central Arkansas, he also focused on songwriting and recorded an EP, Brand New Shoes, with the help of two classmates. The EP's material showed traces of Jason Mraz's folk-pop. Moreover, it gave Allen enough confidence to audition for American Idol in mid-2008, and he returned early the following year as part of the show's cast.
Hailed as the competition's dark horse, Allen slowly amassed a TV following with performances of the Swell Season's "Falling Slowly," Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time," and Donna Summer's "She Works Hard for the Money." Although he shared a room with Adam Lambert throughout the season, Allen proved to be the stylistic opposite of his contender, whose theatrical performances often contrasted with Allen's unassuming demeanor and laid-back, guitar-driven arrangements. Such differences contributed to Allen's first-place victory, and the singer hit the road shortly thereafter on the annual American Idol tour. He also prepped his debut album for release in late 2009, working with songwriters and producers including Eg White, Chris Daughtry, and David Hodges. The album's first single, "Live Like We're Dying," was released in September and peaked at number 89 on the singles charts, followed two months later by Allen's self-titled debut album.
Allen returned in 2012 with his sophomore album, Thank You Camellia. Purportedly named after his house in Los Angeles, the album finds Allen working with a handful of producer/songwriters including former Sugarcult singer Tim Pagnotta, Nasri & Adam Messinger, and Boots Ottestad, among others. Included is the lead-off single, "The Vision of Love."
