This club is for marketers and business owners who want to better understand how to use blogs and other forms of content marketing like podcasts and videos
This club has 3,243 members.
My name is Vikki and I just finished the first blogging webinar with Mike
.My husband Jack and I own Flam's lock and Key, a 3rd generation locksmith business and I started blogging a few months ago on both our website a Thepatch.com in Sherman Oaks,CA,
Mike talked about blogging without selling and I am wondering how to keep it business related without selling security. Some of my blogs are on spot but how do I keep the ideas coming in the lockmith industry and how do we establish ourselves as experts in our field if we don't talk about security?
@luck7y providing information is always a good way to go. It demonstrates expertise, but you aren't selling your services. I personally think you can talk about security,but you just omit saying "like we carry". Mix up those topics maybe with some other ideas.
Some other topics come to mind:
Look at where you biggest business is and try to outline some ideas on how to be helpful to your core customers.
I would bet that locks are typically not a burning question for many until they are in new construction or renovation, or one breaks or they lose a key.
You also might try finding some related interior/exterior design ideas, good and bad and highlighting how the lock works (or doesn't) with the design.
Hope I've helped.
You were a tremendous help, thanks so much!
As @joanmuschampfagnani says, you can and should talk about security — just don't give a sales pitch.
Other ideas: Car keys (they only have a few keys for a model. I discovered this when I owned a Taurus and bought a used Crown Vic for business. The same key worked in both cars!
My personal utopia would be a keyless society. You can always muse on something like that.
Thanks @joanmuschampfagnani and @judithgotwald
You answered @luck7′s question very well
@luck7y You don't have to limit your blog to the talk of just locks either (although @joanmuschampfagnani had a great list). Talk about home security as well, and things that are tangentially related to the importance of good locks — having an inventory list of your good stuff, the importance of home owners insurance, how to keep your home secure when you're on vacation, should you lock your doors when you're at home, the benefits of home security systems.
Basically, this will help you be a resource to your community, and help people know who they should talk to for a lot of these questions.
@luck7y @erikdeckers offers some other great topics…and opens the door to more guest posts as well. Maybe a realtor talking about the value of good quality locks for resale.
Boy, sometimes it's so easy to help others, but yet we can get stuck in our own weeds.
great question and wow whee, Joan, what a helpful answer! @luck7y @joanmuschampfagnani

I came across a really funny German saying the other day: "It can be turned around as you like but it always looks the same." Apparently they say this about everything...Well, it might be true for a lot of things but not for Piyo Blocks 2.
Turn the little dice to get at least three of them the same color in a row, snapping them away. It's everything great about Candy Crash Saga but with robots (!!!) and fruits, no need to share everything on Facebook to get extra lives, and tons of different game modes!

A concessional credit is an export credit for mainly Finnish made deliveries, which is supported by an interest subsidy. The aim of concessional credits is to support the economic and social development of developing countries with the assistance of the know-how and technology offered by businesses. The interest subsidy is paid out of Finland's development cooperation budget.
Finland's new Development Policy Programme 2012 outlines the development of new forms of cooperation to replace the use of concessional credits. During the transitional period, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs will not process new project applications. Link to Ministry for Foreign Affairs website:

Evidence is mounting that Mitt Romney is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination because many Republicans think he's the best chance they have of defeating Barack Obama in 2012.
Business Insider says the reason Romney is moving to the front of the pack is "electability."
Consider these two questions (asked of Republican primary voters only) from the most recent Fox News survey:
How important is it to you that the Republican nominee agrees with you on most major issues?
- Very important 53%
- Somewhat important 43%
- Not very important 2%
- Not at all important 2%
How important is it to you that the Republican nominee can beat Barack Obama?
- Very important 73%
- Somewhat important 19%
- Not very important 3%
- Not at all important 3%
Republican primary voters may not agree with Mitt Romney on issues like "Romneycare," but they're willing to overlook almost anything in order to make sure that President Obama is defeated in 2012.

Mud Hens
You can eat a mud hen? I'm so glad you didn't know either. At first, I was worried mud hens were a Texas dessert that had eluded my childhood, given that a dessert with a funny name is most likely Texan (see Scotcheroos, Hello Dolly bars, Better Than Sex Cake, dump cake, divinity, petit fours, moon pies, etc). I almost called my Mom to declare I wasn't raised properly. Thank goodness I didn't because mud hens are a Deep South dessert, not Texan.
I discovered mud hens in Christy Jordan's wonderful Southern Plate cookbook. It was the first recipe I made from the book and it was delicious. And no, she didn't pay me to say that—I paid full price for her book and waited in line for her to sign it just like everyone else at Food Blog South in Alabama. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Christy is so sweet and charming and friendly and pretty and gracious and joyous and fun. Well, I feel this way about almost everyone in the South, but she must be the one teaching everyone their manners and niceties down there because she really sets the bar high.
I made these bars for a cook-out and made the mistake of setting them out before dinner—they were gone before the meat came off the grill.
Mud hens = chocolate chip cookie base + marshmallow-nut layer + brown sugar meringue.
If you would like to make a full 9×13″ pan of these babies, check out Christy's full recipe here.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon shortening, plus extra for pan
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg, separated
- ½ cup flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Grease a 9″ x 5″ x 3″ loaf pan with shortening. Preheat oven to 350.
- In a medium bowl, beat together with an electric mixer the butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat this mixture very well before adding the egg yolk and continuing to beat.
- Sprinkle the flour, salt and baking powder over the top and beat until the dough comes together in a mass. At first it will be crumbly, but keep beating and it will firm up. Spread the dough in the bottom of the loaf pan evenly.
- Sprinkle on top the chocolate chips, lightly pressing them into the dough. Next sprinkle the marshmallows and pecans on top.
- Next, beat the remaining egg white until stiff. Add the brown sugar and fold it in well. Spread it on top of the nuts and marshmallows. Don't worry if the marshmallows and nuts get all mixed up into the meringue–you want this.
- Bake for 23-27 minutes, until the meringue is nicely browned. Let cool in the pan for an hour before removing them from the pan (or else the bottom might get soggy).

I'm about to call my mom up and gripe about how I was raised — because despite living in the South, I've never had a mud hen! I guess my midwestern parents missed that boat. These look fantastic, though — can't wait to try them!
Mud Hens…I've seen other people make them before and always wondered about that name.
There's also a dessert called 'haystacks'.
Usually the funnier the name, the better the dessert tastes
when i first heard about the southern names for desserts i was a little afraid to try them. one day i did, and loved every bite!
i'm sure these mud hens would please me well![Reply]
I've never heard of mud hens before but these sound awesome with marshmallow, nuts AND chocolate?! winner in my book!
I can't believe I've never heard of a mud hen before! I was born and raised in the South, but this is completely new to me. Looks delicious! And I do love Christy Jordan!
i've actually heard of them before and made them, but yours look infinitely better! completely drool-worth
I have never heard of mud hens either but they look so good. It's always great to have dessert before the meal:)
Mud Hen sounds like a southern name… but once I looked at the ingredients I knew for sure this was a baby of the south. GREG
I have never had a mud hen either But I DO own that cookbook–and it's one of my all time FAVORITES!! And you're right–Christy is sweet and kind and a true example to southern women (have you made the sweet potato casserole from that cookbook yet OMGGOMAKEITNOW)
I've never had a mud hen but I know I would love that! And if most southern women are as nice as you, then maybe I should move to the south:-)
Brown sugar meringue? Yes, please! I've never had a mud hen and only heard of it when traveling to the south. These do NOT exist in NY!
Wow, these look interesting. I wonder where it gets the name "mud hen" oh well. It looks like a giant chewy cookie, which I happen to like.
I'm so glad you scale down desserts for two — I'd be in big trouble if I made a 9 x 13 pan of these!
Love the smaller recipe scalin, of course having leftovers to stash in the freezer isb't bad either. These sound wonderful!
Wow! {Just like everyone} I've never heard of Mud Hens before, but I am SO happy you introduced them to me… They look SO delicious !
How have I never tried these? They sound like everything perfect about a treat…they are definitely going on the Christmas baking list!

Why Help Underserviced US Communities
Compassion without Borders is founded on the premise that all animals deserve to be free of suffering, wherever they are. Geography doesn't dictate who merits our compassion and action.
Since we began, in 2002, the organization has been dedicated to the animals of Mexico, where assistance is scarce and the need so immense. We are passionate about serving animals in these traditionally under serviced communities.
Over the past few years, however, it became clear there is a real need for CWOB to reach out to under-serviced areas in the United States, as well.
The local Latino population in the US has a very high rate of relinquishment at local shelters, a large percentage of unsterilized and unvaccinated animals, and is severely underserved amongst animal welfare agencies and shelters , where bilingual services are next to non-existent and cultural barriers prevent meaningful outreach and education.
These communities have a higher than average rate of low-income wages and the need for affordable veterinary services and access to free and low-cost spay/neuter is critical.
With that in mind, CWOB developed a Local Latino project wherein we will set up monthly outreach and wellness clinics and coordinate free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries in Latino neighborhoods. We will also be creating Spanish humane education materials for schools and kids in the area and utilize the program as a vehicle to educate these communities and raise the status of companion animals. The effort will be a partnership with local animal control agencies and shelters.
This effort will in no way detract from our commitment to animals south of the border, which will remain our primary focus, however is a very logical extension of our work, which aims to help the animals that are at highest risk and in need of most assistance.
Interested in helping?
*Contact us to find out about volunteer opportunities in California.
*Make a donation: Donate today to this program and help us to provide veterinary services and spay and neuter to vulnerable dog and cat populations in Latino communities.

MoringielloWidener University - School of Law March 21, 2009 Florida Law Review, Vol. 62, p.159, 2010 Widener Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-08 Abstract: This is an article about how disputes over virtual world items, such as virtual money, Second Life islands, and even sex beds, can inform property law generally. Rights in these virtual world items, like rights in software and many other intangible assets, are transferred by standard-form agreements that are often designated as licenses. For many readers, virtual worlds need no definition; it has been hard to read a major newspaper in the past several years without encountering an article about virtual worlds. In the past several years, Second Life and other virtual worlds were featured in numerous articles in major American newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. Virtual worlds have captured the attention of legal and other scholars. The legal literature tends to focus on the application of real world laws to the virtual environment. Some have discussed how our property laws should apply in virtual worlds; others have questioned whether virtual worlds need their own governance institutions. In this article, I will take another approach. Rather than asking whether real world laws can or should apply to virtual worlds, I will discuss the ways in which the study of virtual worlds can contribute to real world law. Specifically, I will explain what the study of virtual world assets can do for property law. In this paper, I argue that virtual world assets are significant because they graphically illustrate the different rights that persons can hold in an intangible asset. Once we see that intangible assets encompass the very same rights that are embodied in tangible assets, we can understand that the law should not permit the unfettered customization of property rights in intangible assets by standard form agreements, just as the law does not permit the unlimited customization of property rights in tangible assets and real property. My thesis is that a study of virtual world assets can help us understand why the numerus clausus principle should be more rigorously applied to rights in intangible assets and that the numerus clausus can, in turn, assist us interpreting the standard-form agreements that convey rights in these assets.

Views of a new Catholic in an old world on the joy and inexhaustible meaning found in the Faith
It's Sunday morning in the aftermath of another national gun-related tragedy. We collectively lift up our hands in prayer as a nation, with weeping and lamentation. Even Saturday Night Live handled our mourning with class and dignity. And as we wonder "why?" we also say to ourselves "never again" and wonder how we can make the carnage stop. [Read more...]

What is public legal education?
Learning, rights, empowerment and community
Public legal education (PLE) equips people with the knowledge, skills and the confidence needed to successfully resolve problems encountered in day to day life.
PLE focuses on the early stages of a problem and sets out to help people avoid law-related problems, act more quickly when problems do occur and deal with issues more effectively including knowing when and where to get expert help.
Read our leaflet Public Legal Education : Improving lives, empowering communities (141 KB)
'PLE provides people with awareness, knowledge and understanding of rights and legal issues, together with the confidence and skills they need to deal with disputes and gain access to justice. Equally important, it helps people recognise when they may need support, what sort of advice is available, and how to go about getting it.
'PLE has a further key role in helping citizens to better understand everyday life issues, making better decisions and anticipating and avoiding problems'.
PLEAS Task Force definition of public legal education July 2007
PLE covers a wide range of activities aimed at increasing legal capability. It can be a citizenship class in a school, a theatre group, a website, a step by step guide, a leaflet or a campaign.
Better knowledge of rights and legal issues empowers individuals and communities enabling them to take more control over their lives and participate in the democratic process and get involved in shaping the decisions that affect them.
PLE complements legal and advice services and has links to both education and community development.
Why is PLE important
'Economists estimate that over a three to four year period unresolved problems cost the nation £13 billion.
'Helping people to avoid problems or solve them earlier avoids expense, stress and disruption and creates knock-on savings for the justice system and society as a whole.
'PLE can help people to understand and analyse the rules and systems they live with, and so be involved in the decisions that affect them'.
Extracts from Plenet's leaflet on public legal education
Over half of the UK population is unaware of their legal rights or the processes by which they are enforced1. This indicates that there is a serious gap in people's knowledge about how society works and about their role within in. Lack of legal capability alienates people and creates a barrier to effective communication and participation in civil society.
PLE helps people to solve everyday problems such as debt, benefits, consumer rights, discrimination, housing, employment problems and divorce. These issues have a massive impact on people's lives.
Research shows that many people worry about their problems most of the time, not knowing what to do or where to go for help. Many people do nothing and things get even worse.
Often, the people who are hardest hit are those who already experience some disadvantage, for example disabled people, people with literacy problems, the homeless and older people.
By building skills and confidence PLE can help people access services, get better homes and jobs and believe in themselves and their future.
Looking to the future
Over the last few years there has been growing recognition of PLE and its potential to improve the lives of individuals and communities. In 2011, a new independent education charity was set up. The new charity, Law for Life: the Foundation for Public Legal Education incorporates Plenet – the Public Legal Education Network. Law for Life is committed to furthering Plenet's aim to raise awareness, build legal capability and improve expertise in the delivery of PLE.
An appeal to support Law for Life was launched in January 2011. More information is here.
1Knowledge, capability and experience of rights problems (810 KB) Research conducted by the Legal Services Research Centre and published in May 2010.

PLE Improving lives, empowering communities
In 2009, Plenet published a short leaflet about public legal education explaining how it works and the benefits of PLE. It also has a handy Q&A page.

This is an amazing lecture and it has way too few views! The talk covers the way biological life is organised in respect to the role of cannabinoids as biochemical balances. There are some technical terms but it is generally worded in a non-technical format which is understandable to almost anyone. :)
A new memo from the Department of Justice could threaten production of medical marijuana, even in states like California, where cultivation of marijuana for sale to people with medicinal licenses is legal. This seems to be a response to plans among marijuana growers, advocates, and even some city politicians, to create authorized commercial centers of cultivation.
By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ in News
Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at 4:20 pm
Police in Florence, Alabama say a woman was arrested after her newborn baby tested positive for having marijuana in her system.
Just an idea: A licence system which people who buy or grow cannabis can obtain in order to indicate to authorities they have cannabis and will act responsibly with it. This would help stop cannabis commersialisation; it would help stop kids from using it or help find those who are supplying them; It would give protection to the user; users will start to have more respect for authority since they are no longer considered criminals; It would better use police resources to stop the real criminal elements in the cannabis industry; It would allow greater utilisation of hemp for agrculture which would increase New Zealands resource production;
Wouldn't this be a safer/ smarter alternative to continuing this idiotic drug war or complete legalisation which would be chaotic at the begining???
Today I watched the docomentry "In Pot We Trust". I thought it conveyed a strong sense of how the political system gets in the way of people (legally) having happy lives and how the whole brutal war is fought over blind asumptions.
If you want to watch it: watch it online at (no bullshit web site stuff just the film)= http://www.phillynorml.org/videos/aaf-ipwt.avi ; or find a site that can download internet videos for you (as I did, it was only 250mb approx).
We need to start 420 art days in which a group of creative individuals get together and create signs, props and utensils.
It would be ideal to start this before O week. This would mean we could start the academic year armed with visual aids for the message we are promoting.
This would not only help people identify our cause but it would show people we are organised and commited to this protest.
I will try speak to people at 420 about it and will also contact friends for assistance.
So if you are interested in being appart of 420 art day let me know by commenting on this blog or the forum I just posted about O week. Alternatively talk to me at 420 :D
Stirring device (for stirring on stove top); pot (idealy crok pot (definitely not aluminum!)); Fine strainer (coffee filter, cheese cloth or sieve); Bowl (fits in fridge).
Butter, prefferably pure non salted butter (the fat bonds with cannabinoids); water, prefferably pure (stops butter from burning); buds and/or other plant material (leaves/ stalks).
5 grams of good bud = 1/2 oz - 1 oz of plant matter (leaves and stalk).
Per 5 grams (or 1/2- 1 ounce of cab) = 250g of butter = 2 cups of water.
1. Set the stove top to low heat and put your water in pot.
2. Place your butter in with water and let it melt together.
3. Grind up all the required plant material as fine as possible (coffee grinder ideal but scissors work just as well if you have the time)
4. Pour plant material in to pot and place lid on.
How to purify THC from leaves?
Use acetone instead of alcohol. THC is SUPER soluble in acetone - soak the ground-up leaves
in acetone, then distil it off. Best purity from any solvent I've ever tried. Next best choice is petroleum
ether. Seriously, alcohols are too H2O - soluble for really good purity - lots of other nonpsychoactive
stuff gets in the oil.

Filip Krnja's Statement
I wanted to deviate from the usual way of exhibiting and have created a whole world envisioning a not-so-distant future in order to tell the story surrounding the vehicle. I teamed up with film director Yoaf Parish in order to visualise this world in a short movie in the form of a digital anime.
As a tribute to Otaku and Hong Kong cinema, and to be able to show the vehicle and characters in a frozen action shot I decided for the model making to collaborate with a company based in Hong Kong which specialises in the manufacture of Manga-style figurines.

S/Sgt Ingwal J Hermanson, KIA on 51st Combat Mission
10 Dec. 1944 | Italy
Ingwal Hermanson was born and raised in Crosby, ND.... Near Fargo, having gone to Fargo High School and we have his photo in the 1938 "CYNOSURE" Yearbook, "The DRUM section of the "Gold Band". CYNOSURE (capitolized) literally means "North Star" ! Fargo High School and Grade School was built in 1882 on a full city block bounded by Second and Third Avenues South, between 10th and 11th Streets. It cost $40,000 to build. It was used for all grades 1-12. In 1899, the High School building provided six teachers in the high school (grades 9-12) and ten teachers for grades 1-8. The three story building had 21 rooms. The original building built in 1882 was expanded in 1900. The high school offered two courses of study. The college preparatory curriculum included history (ancient, modern, and American), languages (English, Latin, and German), physics, physiography (a combination of astronomy, geology, and meteorology), biology, zoology,chemistry, and mathematics (algebra, trigonometry, and geometry). The high school also offered a commercial course of study that included bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, shorthand, typewriting, commercial geography. The high school was destroyed by fire in December 1916. Fargo Central High School was built on the same site in 1921. It too was destroyed by fire on April 19, 1966.
Ingwal J Hermanson was an original member in the 446th Bomb Squad, he was an Armorer/Gunner and completed 50 Combat Missions out of Africa in the 321st Bomb Group. He went "Home" for over a year, then returned to his original 446th Squadron, but was KIA on his 1st Combat Mission. The ship #43-27895 J-5-NC The "Haulin' Ass" and it was shot-down over the Target, 10 December, 1944.
Ingwal has the Purple Heart, the Air Medal with 8 Oak Leaf Clusters ! (and other Awards)
(Several Places it says S/Sgt, and several it says T/Sgt)

New programs, some new teachers and plenty of enthusiasm will greet students when they return to Marion L. Steele High, Nord Junior High, Shupe Middle, Powers Elementary and Harris Elementary schools tomorrow. Here is a rundown of information parents, and students can use: New reading lab will put kids in gear At the high school, students are led by three administrators: Fred Holland, who returns for his third year as principal, associate principal Tom Lehman and assistant prin cipal Jeff Riesen. During the summer months, the high school doesn't slow down much. "With summer school here, we're never closed," Holland said. In the last month, hundreds of student athletes, participants of a cheerleading camp, and marching band squads have been filtering in as practices and special events have been held at MLS. Classes start at 7:35 a.m. at the high school and end at 2:40 p.m. Holland said the overcrowded school ended the 1999-2000 school year with 1,234 students. He expects that number to swell but won't have exact figures until the school year officially starts. New teachers at the high school will include social studies instructor Brian Kelley, science teacher Mitch Gillam and network communications instructor Holger Penton. Also, filling in for a maternity leave is Lorraine Millhorn, English teacher, who will be in the class for first semester and possibly the entire school year.

Inside the high school, Holland said the building has been rewired to accommodate present and future technology improvements through a Power-Up grant, which has been granted to many Ohio school districts. "The needs of this building have grown so much," he said. "This puts our infrastructure in good shape." Also new to the school this year will be a mobile writing lab. During a five-year curriculum update, Holland said the English department called for a writing facility or lab. But with every "nook and cranny" in the building being used, the only way to provide a writing lab was to make it mobile. The cabinet will hold 30 laptop computers which can be moved from room to room, he explained.

MetroPark project showing progress by JASON TOMASZEWSKI News-Times reporter What started as a Bender Construction schematic is gradually becoming a reality. Bender is working feverishly to make the area next to and around the new police station on North Lake Street look more like a park every day. Driving by the site one can see that there is indeed work being done, however, you can't really appreciate the magnitude of the project unless you tour the entire site. The project is the first of its kind in the county, a city/Lorain County MetroParks joint project, which will result in a large park for use by the public. MetroParks director Dm Martin granted the News-Times a tour of the project last week. The area of the park that is visible from the street will be home to a regulation size soccer field, playground, and picnic area. From there the park stretches back with an eight foot wide circular asphalt trail that winds around the 72 acre property. e mil will boast two bridges that exceed 115 feet in length.

They will all be admitted and receive the surgery on Monday, with Tuesday set aside for recovery. The rest of the week will see the patients go through intensive physical therapy. Friday will see the patients discharged as a group. The center will focus on specialty services as opposed to working as a general hospital. "There will be a need in Amherst for a medical facility like this," stated Capretto. This new center will be located in the long closed Family Birthing Center area of the Amherst Hospital.

On Sunday, Sept. 17 at 3 p.m. at the Fomento Club, 522 38th St., in Union City, four young pianists from Hudson County's Altamura Studios will debut their year-long musical collaboration in a jazz-inspired ensemble performing themes from West Side Story.
However, the twist to this performance is that the four students will play two pianos in unison.
"This is their first big project, which is part of some of the work that I am doing as a piano teacher," said Christina Altamura, who is a professional tenured pianist and a long-time Union City resident with teaching studios in Hoboken and Weehawken.
Altamura has taken her students one step further - she is helping them utilize their musical skills to get into college, even if they are not pursuing a degree in music.
"I'm trying to stimulate students to stay in music through high school, especially because that is when you really start to try out really juicy repertoire," said Altamura.
Multiple players
Making their grand debut as collaborating pianists are Lester Castor, 17; Giana Ramos, 17; Jobee Buenaventura, 14; and Kurt Penaflor, 13.
The students hail from the private studios of Altamura and Jackie Salvia of Bergen County.
However, the idea for the ensemble first came about a year ago from Castor, who is one of Altamura's students.
Castor is a classically trained pianist who Altamura introduced to the piano stylings of the 5 Browns, a group of five brothers and sisters who perform musical arrangements on five pianos in unison.
"The sound was absolutely inspiring and it blew me away," said Lester.
"He was so amazed and he said, 'I wish I could do this with my friends,' but he thought it was beyond them," said Altamura.
Altamura knew that collaboration on a slightly different scale was possible. "We may not be able to get five pianos but we can certainly try for two," said Altamura.
"She came up with a compromise and the whole dream turned into reality," said Lester.
Lester was assigned to lead the ensemble during the performance.
Altamura then contacted revered Canadian-born and American-trained jazz composer Derwyn Holder.
"We commissioned him a year ago and the kids started learning it this summer," said Altamura. "Luckily, I have enough contacts, which is also why I'm going into consulting music students."
Holder created a jazz arrangement of popular pieces from the musical West Side Story.
Holder also oversaw the last few rehearsals.
"I was totally impressed by their playing and musicality. Basically, they just have some ensemble problems such as clarity and rhythm, and that's corrected in rehearsal," said Holder.
Lester had begun studying jazz with Altamura a few years ago. He was almost ready to give up on music making until Altamura introduced him to jazz.
"With jazz, a whole new place has opened up for me, and I wouldn't be playing [today] if it wasn't for that," said Lester, who had played classical for about nine years. "Classical helps me build up my skills, but what attracted me to jazz is that it was more upbeat. This is a major step in my learning the piano and how to play with others in an ensemble."
Inspiring musicians
"They've got their first taste of jazz and they're exploding about it," said Altamura.
"This is about keeping high school students involved in classical training and helping to make music relative to their needs," said Altamura. "Everything they learn during music lessons builds this character and preparedness for the real world, from deadlines to organizing time."
Altamura made her Carnegie Hall debut as a pianist at the age of 19. She has played in various venues throughout the world, and was recently named the principal soloist of the State Philharmonic of Romania, Bacau.
She hopes to inspire students who have begun to lose their interest in the arts.
"I can get them jumpstarted again, and I'm dedicated to this project to help college-bound students beyond music," she said.
Sunday's performance will begin with six other young pianists for the first half of the program, as part of Altamura's annual student recital. Holder's jazz arrangement will be the grand finale.
The sponsors for the event include Altenberg Pianos in Elizabeth, who is loaning two pianos free of charge, and Union City's Fomento Club, who is donating the concert space.
Suggested donations for the concert are $10 for adults and $5 for students, and free parking is available next door to the hall.
Since the four pianists in the ensemble are of Philippine descent, Altamura is hoping to have the teens featured at the Philippine Consulate in New York this year.

Appendix C
Conservation Supply Curves for Buildings
Conservation supply curves relate energy savings achieved by
implementing a given efficiency measure, to that measure's ''cost
of conserved energy" (CCE).
The initial investment in an efficient technology or program is
annualized by multiplying it by the "capital recovery rate"
where d is the real discount rate and n is the
number of years over which the investment is written off (i.e.,
Conserved energy is liberated to be "supply" for other energy
demands and therefore may be thought of as a resource and plotted
on a supply curve. There are two different kinds of conservation
supply curves. One shows technical potential, based on
engineering and economic calculations without concern for the
probability of successful implementation. The second type of curve
shows achievable scenarios based on actual experience;
typical utility conservation programs have captured only about 50
percent of the technical potential.
On a conservation supply curve, each measure or step (such as
"efficiency improvements to residential refrigerators") is defined
as follows:
Height = CCE (cents saved per kilowatt-hour),
Width = annual kilowatt-hours saved,
Area under the step = total annualized cost of investment.
OCR for page 709
Page 709
The steps are ranked in order of ascending CCE, with the
cheapest options plotted first, causing the curve to be
To decide whether a step is profitable (and how profitable), its
CCE is compared to the "price" of the avoided kilowatt-hour. Table
C.1 shows that "price" varies from different viewpoints. The
average 1989 price of electricity in buildings (line 1) is 7.5
cents/kWh, whereas industry (line 2) pays only 4.7 cents/kWh.
Because one cannot anticipate where a conserved kilowatt-hour will
ultimately be used, the societal price is taken to be an all-sector
average of 6.4 cents/kWh (line 3). One could then subtract the tax
(1.1 cents/kWh), but tax would also have to be subtracted from the
cost of conserved energy. However, both the competing utility and
the conservation industries pay taxes, and only the difference (if
any) in tax rates should be corrected for. To simplify, one will be
assumed to cancel the other.
Line 4 addresses the fact that the short-run marginal cost of
electricity may be lower than its average price. In some parts of
the United States there is still a glut of electric generating
capacity, so that the marginal cost of a kilowatt-hour is low. In
such areas, the "rock bottom" price of generating a kilowatt-hour
from coal and delivering it to the building meter is about 3.5
Line 5 addresses externalities, although they will not actually
be used now. Today, many jurisdictions require a theoretical
"environmental adder" of 1 to 3 cents/kWh; that is, they give
efficiency an advantage of 1 to 3 cents/kWh over supply during
resource planning. For example, New York has recently adopted a
point system for evaluating competing resources in which the most
environmentally disruptive resource (a new coal plant) under the
most unfavorable circumstances is given. This point system provides
an "environmental adder" of 1.4 cents/kWh. Desiring to be
conventional and conservative in its claims for the profitability
of efficiency investments,

TABLE C.2 Unit Energy Consumption for a New
Base (kWh/yr)
Target (kWh/yr)

2. Anticipated efficiency resulting from the
1993 National Appliance Standards for refrigerators
3. Better efficiency in year 2000 achieved
by 1980s-type utility efficiency programs
4. Most efficient refrigerator in year 2000,
including all technical improvements with cost of conserved energy
(CCE) less than 6 cents/kWh
the Mitigation Panel has followed the standard sin of setting
the adder tozero, but line 5 at least points out that if 1 to 3
cents/kWh is added to theall-sector average price, one arrives at a
societal after-tax price of 7.4 to9.4cents/kWh, which brackets
nicely the present 7.5-cent/kWh price to buildingsdrawn on all the
supply curves in Part Three of this report.
Each of the energy prices above can be drawn as a horizontal
line across a supply curve. All steps located below a selected
price line are cost-effective, and the rational investor should
take each of these steps, stopping where the staircase crosses the
line. Of course, different price assumptions drastically alter
estimates of dollar savings.
Having addressed the uncertainties in price (y-axis), the
panel next addresses the uncertainties in savings (x-axis).
To do this, in Table C.2 the unit energy consumption of an average
new 1990 refrigerator (1000 kWh/yr) on line 1 is compared with the
consumption of an optimal refrigerator (200 kWh/yr) on line 4. From
an engineer's point of view, the potential savings from replacing
line 1 with line 4 is obviously 800 kWh/yr. However, from the point
of view of the utility forecaster or program manager, whose
programs never achieve more than one-half to two-thirds of the
potential savings, line 3 is more realistic and reflects a
sales-weighted average of refrigerator efficiency that is below the
optimum. The program manager would target an "achievable" savings
of only 400 kWh/yr.
An additional complication should be noted. Many efficiency
studies start with a year 2000 base case that has already been
reduced by about 30 percent for anticipated efficiency gains, as a
result of standards or occurring naturally (see Table C.2, line 2).
They then subtract about 300 kWh/yr from their estimates of the
savings. The problem with using this "estimated"

base case is that estimates frequently change, thus muddying
cleaner technical potential calculations.
Table C.3 shows how an energy savings of only one efficiency
measure on a supply curve can be reported in four ways. In supply
curve literature, each of these ways is used, often without
explicit distinctions being drawn between types.
Figure C.1 displays the costs and technical potential of the
11-step EPRI conservation supply curve, with an additional first
step for white surfaces/urban trees to save air conditioning. To
transform these electrical savings into units of avoided CO2 as displayed in Figure C.2, two
conversions must be made (see Table C.4).
First the x-axis is converted by using the CO2 produced from the mix of fuels burned by
U.S. power plantsestimated to be 500 megatons (Mt) carbon (C)
for 1990 electric sales of 2610 billion kilowatt-hours (BkWh)
(Edmonds et al., 1989).1 To get tons
of CO2, multiply by 3.666.
1 kWh = 0.7 g CO2,
1 TWh = 0.7 Mt CO2.
Then the y-axis is divided by 5; so
1 cent/kWh = $14.3/Mt CO2.
Figure C.1 has two y-axis scales: on the left,
direct CCE for the investment in efficiency; on the right,
net CCE, which accounts for the price of avoided electricity.
By using equation (5a), net CCE can then be converted to net cost
of conserved CO2 (CC CO2). The reason is that the ultimate goal
is a "grand supply curve" of avoided CO2 from conserved electricity, oil, natural
gas, and so forth. When these fuels are combined, it is no longer
possible to track their individual prices; thus one can work only
with net savings. Accordingly, Figure C.2 uses the all-sector
electric price of 6.4 cents/kWh to create the net scale.

A dozen Burnaby residents want the chance to intervene in National Energy Board hearings for a commercial tolling application linked to Kinder Morgan's pipeline expansion plan.
"We're not going to passively sit by while you guys jam a pipeline down our throats," said Forest Grove resident Lou Kaiser. "We are just a bunch of neighbourhood people. We are not corporations. We just want to live peacefully in our neighbourhood."
Kaiser is one of 11 people and one housing co-op represented by Ecojustice, a group of lawyers and environmental activists. Ecojustice submitted a July 20 letter to the National Energy Board, formally asking that the residents be allowed to participate in the hearings as intervenors.
According to Kaiser, the group of residents (many of whom are neighbours) banded together after attending community meetings on Kinder Morgan's expansion plan.
The company wants to twin the existing pipeline, more than doubling capacity, from 300,000 barrels of oil per day to 750,000. The current line, in place since the 1950s, transports various oil products from Alberta to Burnaby and runs through the Forest Grove neighbourhood at the base of Burnaby Mountain, just 30 feet from Kaiser's home.
Kaiser is worried Kinder Morgan will create a larger right-of-way and remove trees or even homes.
"We are also concerned about the safety hazards of a pipeline in the neighbourhood," Kaiser said. "Most people don't want to be living next to a pipeline, let alone a dual pipeline."
According to Kaiser, the pipeline was originally built for sweet crude to supply local refineries. Kinder Morgan's expansion is tied to the rising demand for Canadian crude in Asia and, if the pipeline goes through, much of the oil will likely be diluted bitumen for export to Asia.
"They're going to be making millions of dollars transporting this sludge to China or wherever," he said.
But Kinder Morgan's commercial tolling application is not about the pipeline expansion or route of the twin line; it's a hearing to seek approval from the National Energy Board on how much the company can charge its customers. (Kinder Morgan doesn't own or sell the oil, it just charges companies a toll to use the pipeline.)
"One of the ways of addressing the concern is making sure Kinder Morgan has liabilities to cover the kind of potential damages that arise in the event of an interruption, and this will force them to include that in their rates," Kaiser said. "That way, their rates are going to have to increase to address that. We want insurance from Kinder Morgan in the case of any kind of problems (that) there are adequate funds to cover any kind of damages that occur. That means that's going to have to be paid for by whoever's using the pipeline."
Kinder Morgan already had a spill in Burnaby in 2007, when a city-hired work crew accidentally broke the pipeline, releasing 224,000 litres of oil.
Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield said it's up to the National Energy Board to decide what the process will be.
"We will abide by all regulations and requirements that are set out by the National Energy Board. We look forward to meeting with the local stakeholders and listen(ing) to their concerns," she said.
The National Energy Board is still reviewing Kinder Morgan's application. As for when the hearings start and who will be allowed to participate, details will be announced online at www.neb-one.gc.ca.

Frozen Shoulder SymptomsA frozen shoulder may or may not be associated with pain in the shoulder. Initial pain and tenderness may resolve and leave the shoulder with painless but limited range of motion. The scarring of the shoulder joint capsule may limit the ability to move the shoulder fully in all directions.

Minority Rapport
This mix is about minority-loving minorities.
Why It's Pretentious: So if you follow me on Twitter, you may have realized that I only like to talk about two things: Sundance and my Asian roommate. This mix encompasses (or, at the very least, vaguely touches on) both of these things!
As an Honors student — ding! goes the pretentious bell — this is my only free semester to study abroad or "away" at our New York or LA campuses. Instead, I decided to fake-study-abroad and take a trip each month. January, I volunteered at Sundance for five days (One of the films I got to see was Ice-T's rap documentary "Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap." That means I've been feeling the West Coast rap since I got back last week. Keep that in mind as we continue on this journey.)
So my Asian roommate Sarah (obviously also Honors) decided to use her free semester to book it to LA for the spring semester. Before she left, I made her a few going away mixes. This one is comprised of hip hop/rap songs that mention Asians, bookended by songs about California. (In the interest of featuring multiple artists, there is only ONE song by Childish Gambino.) I didn't tell her the theme beforehand, but since she has a highly-tuned Asian-dar, she was able to guess it by the second song, i.e., the first song that mentions Asians. Priceless. Anyway, we've all missed our little Japanese rose, but GUESS WHAT. February's trip is to the Grammy's, so I will see her next week! So this mix is in honor of Sarah Champion! Of Asians! Of LA! Of Ice-T (who is not actually featured in this mix)! Of friendship!
Maybe the next mix I post will not be about race, but I find that highly unlikely. This blog is slowly but surely becoming "ridiculous race-related mixtapes I made in college." BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN NICHE MARKETS.
