Every week -- often with your help -- Food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: A genius trick for oven-crisped chicken wings that might be even better than fried (plus a magic dipping sauce you're going to use on lots more than wings).
This Sunday, a supply of world-class snacks is going to be the difference between an epic party and a day of too much TV and a bad Dorito hangover.
A platter of blistering, toffee-skinned chicken wings would clinch it.
But that doesn't mean you need to be orbiting a deep fryer moments before your house is filled with people -- not unless you want to (I don't).
If you're smart about it, you can make your wings almost entirely the night before, sending them into the oven just in time to make the house smell cozy in the way that only roast chicken can. But you do have to be smart about it.
You'd think wings -- bundles of mostly skin and fat -- roasted in a really hot oven would crisp up by default, but baked wings tend to either dry out before they develop that taut snap, or stay slack and a little chewy. See Melissa Clark's admission here. They're not bad, but they could be electrifying.
This is where Ideas in Food's Aki Kamozawa and H. Alexander Talbot, in their latest book Maximum Flavor, changed the game. They developed a low-impact at-home version of Korean-style chicken wings (if you're not familiar, they're normally twice-fried and have the power to turn people into starved coyotes with one bite).
"Alex spent weeks on the wings, roasting and re-roasting a million different ways until we were satisfied that they were perfectly crispy, juicy, and seasoned," Kamozawa told me.
The solution he landed on was a 3-ingredient marinade: egg white, salt, baking soda. And one more unofficial ingredient: time.
The egg white was borrowed from a General Tso's recipe Kamozawa was developing using velveting, the traditional Chinese technique in which chicken (or other delicate ingredients) are coated in egg white and cornstarch and par-cooked to keep them from drying out, leaving them soft and velvety.
They combined this with the seasoning and texture-improving powers of salting ahead (a.k.a. dry-brining), made famous by Judy Rodgers, along with the secret side of everyone's second favorite leavener, baking soda -- "often used for its browning effect in many recipes from pretzels to stir-fried shrimp," Kamozawa explained. (For more on tweaking browning effects by varying pH levels, see López-Alt.)
Thanks to Ideas in Food's legwork, this method is virtually hands-off -- just tumble the wings in those 3 ingredients, then leave them on a rack in the fridge to dry overnight. (Leave a note so nobody panics when they go for the milk.)
The next day, the tray goes straight into the oven. 35 minutes and a couple of flips later, it's party time.
For yours, you can use the tinier sections called drumettes and flats or wingettes -- they might be easier to find and to dunk. But Kamozawa and Talbot prefer the whole, unclipped wings, which they find are slightly juicier and have more crispy bits.
Whichever way you go, you'll need this dipping sauce, which provides a last minute wash of brightness and spice -- meaning the wings can actually sit out and stay crisp, unlike that half-eaten tray of Buffalo wings, which is never coming back.
"You can also use the sauce with fried dumplings, roasted vegetables, fish, or even drizzled over a grilled steak. It goes everywhere and makes almost everything taste better," Kamozawa told me. I can vouch that we've put the sauce on most of the above.
Just think of all the other stuff you can dip at your game day party -- I'd only hold back on the Doritos.

On April 1 I had the joy of being in the audience at the New School in New York City for a reading by six poets of the Oulipo, or Ouvroir de littérature potentielle ("workshop of potential literature"), a writers group founded in France in 1960 by writer and mathematician Raymond Queneau and scientist François Le Lionnaisnown. The writers of the Oulipo, known as Oulipians (and to tackle some of their projects, the writers truly require a kind of Olympian athleticism) are a self-ordained group of poets, novelists, story writers, and mathematicians, most of them living and working in France, writing within invented constraints in an attempt to discover "potential" ways of making literature. While new forms are always being conceived, the Oulipians have their classics—the perverb, which combines the beginning of one proverb and the end of another; or the lipogram, a text that wholly excludes one or more letters of the alphabet. Above all, each structure must be enjoyable to write. The active group holds meetings and frequent public readings—"Oulipo Thursdays"—at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris.
Last Wednesday night's reading featured Oulipians Marcel Bénabou, Anne F. Garréta, Jacques Jouet, Herve LeTellier, and Jacques Roubaud, all of France; British expat Ian Monk; and the Oulipo's newest adoptee, U.S. writer Daniel Levin Becker, who stood in for Harry Mathews, the only other American member, who, unfortunately, couldn't make it. The event commenced the four-day Oulipo in New York celebration, which ran through Saturday and featured a roundtable discussion as well as a workshop with Bénabou, both in French; a book party for Roubaud's The Loop in English; and readings in various venues throughout the city. The series of events was sponsored by Poets House, the French Embassy, Columbia University, Yale University, and the New School.
With limited exposure to Oulipian literature, one could make an abrupt dismissal of the work—as I was admittedly braced to do—as a mere exercise, lacking stakes, disengaged from the pulp and problems of human experience. But what I found, or rather, what I felt, was the lightness that arrives only after one has accepted that something is problematic and then transcends it. In the case of the Oulipians, that buoyancy occurs via play—organized word play—as in the best comedy.
Wit certainly permeated the group reading of Mathews's poem "35 Variations on a Theme from Shakespeare," each section of which restructures the phrase "To be or not to be" using a different constraint, illuminating the range of imagination and insight that such play with invented forms can initiate. Using the N+7 formula, in which each noun in a given text is replaced by the entry that follows seven words away in the dictionary, results in a line like, "To be or not to be, that is the quibble." Similarly, using a formula called triple contradiction results in something like, "You call this life? And everything's happening all the time? Who's asking?" Or the reductive constraint, which breaks the original line down to an oversimplification, produces a like like, "One or the other—who knows?"
While there was delight in tasting the fruit of Mathews's endeavor, other works read during the program were equally pleasurable because they demanded of me a shifting of my everyday processing of language. When Bénabou read from his book Pourquoi je n'ai écrit aucun de mes livres (Why I Have Not Written Any of My Books) in French, a language that, although foreign, feels viscerally similar to my own, the words ran through me, electrified, as I gazed at the ceiling of the latticed-stone amphitheater. Monk then read an English translation that was equally challenging: The piece was essentially a prologue reflecting on its own making.
The brightest moment of the program, though, was when Garréta read from her essay on imposing order on one's rapidly growing book collection and creating a systematic library. "Books invented humans in order to multiply," Garréta read. She went on to explain how books have infested her apartment, accumulated on chairs and at the foot of the bed with a sort of feral willfulness, making the routine tasks of home life, like doing laundry, unnavigable. They beg for order. But the problem, shared by many—as evidenced by the collective sigh of the audience as Garréta read—is in the fluidity of organizational categories, particularly extant ones such as those prescribed by the Library of Congress, with their overlaps, imprecisions, and failures, so that it becomes necessary to invent one's own.
Here is a sample of Garréta's principles of organization for ordering bookshelves, or, as she put it, bookselves, those meandering book-fed landscapes of the mind: "Books in which one encountered even once the word book," or, conversely, those in which the word never occurs; "books that would have fit in a room of one's own"; "books doomed to fall on dead ears"; and the "most important" set of principles, all of them permutations of the following classification: "Books given to you by someone you love."
Monk concluded the night with a reading of one of his conceptually ambitious projects: a serious limerick. Not exactly solemn throughout, but more true and human than the mischievous hit-and-run quality of most limericks, the poem ended with this shining fragment that illuminated the texture of the evening, and of the project of the Oulipo:
…just dreams
madness schemes
our what
and our why
and our how.

Yogi Bhajan Lecture: Mother - The First Teacher
Excerpts from a lecture on 7/4/96 at Women's Camp, New Mexico
Why does the male child stop listening to you in the third year? And why does the female child stop obeying you in the eleventh year?
As a mother, you always try to tell the child what to do. The girl child, because of her double brain and her balance, can tolerate it a little more than a male child. The male can't tolerate it. Your first tragedy is that you tell your children what to do. All of you, from A to Z, are guilty of it. That is why the world is absolutely horrified.
You have no right to tell the child what to do. The child has the right to know what is good and what is bad. If you teach the child good and bad, the child will never leave you. There's no better student. You have never accepted a child as a God-given student. You always accept the child as your possession. That's your mistake.
Now, let's look at this shabad, Guru Dev Mata. Guru Dev Mata: that's the first line. Guru means the one who brings you from darkness to light. Dev means transparent. "Transparent" is a definition of God – everywhere but seen and unknown – it is the power of the Unknown.
"Oh Mata." Ma means moon, Ta means sun. "Oh, the combination of my moon and sun, you are my Transparent Enlightener." Guru Dev Mata. A mother who does not play this role should never have a child. All conflict in this entire universe is caused by the role of the mother. It's a very painful and unfortunate role. A mother is not a person. A mother is a Guru Dev Mata.
This shabad says, "Guru Dev Mata. "Oh mother, you are the Guru Dev, from the day of the first breath to the last day. That's the relationship you must have with your child." Now look into yourselves. You are mothers. How many of you have acted that way? Are you not supposed to be responsible and shouldn't you be punished for bringing children to this Earth and not discharging your responsibility? I apologize to you. I don't want you to take it personally. You should absolutely not take today's lecture personally. You bring forth a life, and then after 3 years, you own son tells you what to do. His first word comes out, "No," and after 11 years, your daughter starts telling you, "No." It's a fundamental truth. And then you buy and bribe with gifts. You are the biggest, most corrupt, most cruel institution on this Earth.
The first line of this Shabad, Guru Dev Mata, is: "You are my true Guru, pure, transparent, angelic. You are my angelic Guru. Oh, mother, the combination of Ma and Ta…Oh, my mother, you are my transparent guide, my God, you are my beauty, you are my bounty, you are my everything." Guru Dev Mata. A mother who is not Guru Dev Mata is going to lose her child, her man, her life and her opportunity on this Earth. You have 16 times more intuition, 16 times more intelligence. But you are a joke!
You were given that 16 times more by God itself, so that you could cure the Earth, because you are also a janani. Nothing can be without your psyche. It's not given to you to be sensual and sexual, to put yourself up for sale, or to become models and remodels and socialites. You are the first teacher. You have never understood that you are the most perfect source of God to create Divinity – and that through Divinity, you create identity; from identity you cannot create Divinity. But Divinity is taboo to you. Instead, you show your breasts, wear miniskirts, and put your sex on sale.
That child has a 108-element sensory system. Try to see a child and figure it out. Understand it. You never gave the child its place. You never gave the child its discipline. You never gave the child its value. You never did a thing, and then you blame your children for going nutty, because they have become drug addicts, or they are not in a position to make something of their lives. How many of you sat with your one-year-old child in your lap, and through the power of your meditation put that child to sleep?
The child knows you. In his psyche, he wants to be important. He wants to sit up here and lecture you instead of me. It's true. He doesn't want to be played with. Force doesn't work with him. You say children don't know? Who has told you children don't know? Children know so much. There are 108 elements, and their mega-power is 30 trillion per unit.You are ten trillion cells, with three living components, which means 30 trillion cells. So, you are 30 trillion cells and the child's psyche is 108 elements. Multiply that by the magnetic power and a child has the power of a sun. As the sun's rays can spread to the universe, so the child's vibration, in his psyche, can study the whole situation better than you.
You don't understand. Your strength is not your ability to sell yourself. Your strength is your elevated spirit – when the face of a woman is so dynamic, so saintly, so pure and so nice, a man has no power to even speak. You must have seen that with some women, a man cannot say a word. There's a strength – and that strength is very strong. That's the real strength of a woman. Today, tomorrow and every day, your life will be nothing but sorrow if you do not rise above your attachment to yourself and understand that you are born to be Guru Dev. That's why the Guru said, "Guru Dev Mata."You don't have to learn anything. I am not asking you to read books. I'm not asking you to do anything. Just understand this one line: "I am going to be Guru Dev. I am what I am." See how your life changes.

Hi all,
I thought I take this opportunity to open a sketchbook and start by posting a portrait I made for the beta 4R2B (sounds like a droid from Star-Wars).
It's a version of rock legend Gene Simmons (bass) from "the hottest band in the world" Kiss. The head model doesn't really resemble Gene Simmons, but it is clear that with make-up, long tongue, wild hair and pony tail, it is the demon from Kiss.
I've rendered a potrait and an "in concert" version, using a simple LightCap light set-up (not the background image was used as HDRI source).
FiberMesh... man that was fun. It's really quick and responsive. I run ZBrush on an early 2009 iMac and it handled the fibers real smooth. The GroomBrushes are so much fun too and during the beta lots of new cool GroomBrushes where added. Just like more other cool new features Pixologic gave us for free... again :P
Thanks everyone at Pixologic, especially Ofer for being a genius and Paul for being the best help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MommaKcooks from Our Go To Pan in our kitchen! I do not actually have great cookware, I need to bite the bullet and buy new cookware but I just haven't wanted to part with that kind of money all at oncr. However, I purchased this pan for myself one day because it was on sale and I was already purcgasing other items anyway and ran acriss it online. I am so glad I did! I did not think I would use it as much as I do actually, but it turns out we use it almost every night! Frying, yep, sautéing, yep, pastas, soups and stews for my husband and I, any and everything, braising. Just love it. It cooks perfectly, distributing heat evenly and never letting me down. How did I cook without it before? Now I need all the rest of its cookware family :) It is so easy to clean as well. I hand wash mine, its just too easy. The handle is very comfortable when cooking and after i clean it, i hand it on my pot rack as it has a hole for it in the handle. Love this pan.Date published: 2014-07-28Rated 5 out of 5 by CathleenA from Go To Pan for Everyday Use! This is the pan I pull out most frequently for dinners. It heats evenly and cleans easily. The size is perfect for many main dishes. I listed weight as a pro and a con because I love the weight but it is too heavy for my mother in law to use.Date published: 2012-11-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackkie from Versatile Value This is excellent for brown and braise, pasta sauce making and pasta tossing, larger quantity side dishes, and simmer dishes. This is extremely high quaiity at a value price. A must have.Date published: 2012-05-09Rated 5 out of 5 by EveryoneEatsHere from Very Pleased This is a wonderful pan! This is my very first purchase of All-Clad SS....a very luxurious, expensive, once-in-a-lifetime purchase for me however i couldn't resist. My first use, tonight, was my family's favorite mexican chicken chowder and it came out just beautifully. I was able to keep the stove at a medium temp and the butter and heavy creme NEVER separated even while cooling down. It may take me a while to justify in my mind spending this much money on a pan, but if my dishes come out this great everytime this is an easy sell. Chef's, home cooks, family cooks, those who love to cook for their loved ones, and all of us who love to play in the kitchen, please treat yourself to this pan...even if you cannot afford any other pan. This is the one to have and you will use it everyday. A lovely joy and I can't wait to use it tomorrow!Date published: 2012-02-05

Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor has pleaded not guilty to charges that he had sex with a 16-year-old girl at a Rockland County hotel in Many.
The former NFL star smiled as he arrived at a Rockland County courthouse on Tuesday for arraignment on charges that include third-degree rape. He's also charged with patronizing a prostitute and endangering a child.
The 51-year-old Taylor pleaded not guilty through his lawyer. Earlier, when this reporter asked if he was guilty, Taylor responded, "Grow up.''
During the 15 minute hearing, Prosecutors Judge Nelson approved an order of protection preventing Taylor of having any contact with the alleged victim in the case.
Taylor's attorney, Arthur Aidala, said the alleged victim was an "absolute stranger" to Taylor and that he "does not know this person's name"
Taylor allegedly paid $300 to the girl, a Bronx runaway, for their encounter in May in a hotel room in Montebello. He could be imprisoned for up to four years if convicted.
One potential witness is a 23-year-old woman who told defense investigators that she heard the girl say after meeting Taylor, "It was weird. ... We didn't even have sex.''
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have filed a complaint against Rasheed Davis, who is accused of acting as the girl's pimp and who allegedly assaulted her and brought her to Taylor's hotel room against her will.
Court papers in that case say Taylor admitted to sex acts with the girl but was told the girl was 19. Ignorance of a minor's age is not a defense to third-degree rape, said Peter Brower, chief of the Ramapo police force that arrested Taylor.
Taylor led the New York Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. He was the National Football League's MVP in 1986 and Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986.
Taylor and his lawyer do not deny the young girl was in the hotel room that day, but maintain he did not have sexual intercourse with her as it is legally defined.
After the hearing, Aidala said Taylor is "very much looking for this process to move forward" and to "putting this behind him"

Gaza militants launch rocket attacks in effort to derail peace talks By Catrina Stewart in JerusalemShort-range rockets and mortars rained on southern Israel yesterday as militants sought to derail the revived peace process on the second day of talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
Militants in Gaza, the coastal enclave controlled by Hamas, fired at least nine projectiles into Israel, causing no injuries. Israel responded with an air strike on Gaza, killing a 23-year-old Palestinian man.
The upsurge in attacks came during talks in Jerusalem, where Washington is pushing for a breakthrough in the peace process, launched a fortnight ago after nearly two years of stalled negotiations.
At the end of the second day, George Mitchell, the US envoy, sounded a cautious note of optimism, hinting that the two sides were making progress over the extension of a construction freeze in the Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.
"We continue in our efforts to make progress in that regard and believe we are doing so," Mr Mitchell told reporters after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met in Jerusalem.
"The two leaders are not leaving the tough issues to the end of their discussions," he added. "We take this as a strong indicator of their belief that peace is possible."Ahead of a packed day of meetings, Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, had reiterated...(click here to read the full article source)

nobody knows you when you're down and out
maybe,That's life but the best is, yet to come (syncopated)
together in stormy weather or autum in New York
moanin' over the rainbow at last as time goes by
I can't escape from you, sophisticated lady,
It ain't misbehaving, you're mine you, that's all
The lady is a tramp, tonight Mona Lisa now I rest my case
Come rain or come shine
I've got the world on a string and it don't mean a thing
Ain't got nothing but the blues without the touch of your lips
Cause you are my everything night and day
with your sway and my way they can't take that away from me,
from me
Jazzy come to me Jazzy you made me love you as long as I live
There will never be another you unforgettable
Time after time the way you look tonight it had to be you un poco loco
Jazzy stay with me Jazzy come fly with me, fly me to the moon
In a sentimental mood I get a kick out of you isn't it romantic
For all we know I've got you under my skin
Jazzy stay with me Jazzy come fly with me, fly me to the moon
In a sentimental mood I get a kick out of you isn't it romantic
For all we know I've got you under my skin
(Jazzy come to me, Jazzy stay with me Jazzy)

Columbia County has "become ground zero" for Lyme disease, Rep. Chris Gibson, R-19, said recently.
It's a "major public health scourge," he said, especially in the Northeast — and it's spreading across the country.
During a Lyme forum held in early March, he said ever since he took office, Lyme disease has been at the top of his constituents' minds. During an April 18 phone interview, he said a symposium held in May 2012 in Saratoga on Lyme disease was "constituent driven."
But this "public health scourge" also weighs heavily on his mind. Gibson grew up in Kinderhook and after retiring from the Army in 2010, he, his wife and three children, moved back to his hometown. He said he's "very concerned on a personal level," as he has family and friends afflicted with Lyme disease.
As a resident in "ground zero," this may make him one of the best champions for better Lyme disease awareness, testing, treatment and research.
Gibson has teamed up with U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, who called Columbia County home not that long ago, and Richard Blumenthal. The three legislators have partnered with the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance (TBDA) to build support in the fight against Lyme disease. The alliance is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and promoting advocacy to find a cure for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.
The forum held in March brought together a panel of doctors, experts, advocates and even nationally syndicated cartoonist John McPherson, creator of the "Close to Home" comic, who has had Lyme disease since 1998.
During the forum, Gibson noted some of the investments are starting to take root and that last year, there was $8.75 million in appropriations for better testing.
Calling from his Washington, D.C. office, he said the five areas of Lyme he's focused on are awareness, testing, treatment, health care coverage and tick suppression.
With awareness, he said, there are steps individuals can take to lessen exposure, like wearing clothing in particular settings or when returning from certain areas, take a shower, check vulnerable areas on the body and tumble-dry clothes.
Testing is a major focus area. Gibson said there isn't a test to detect half of the Lyme cases. However, last summer, a hearing on the U.S. Capitol resulted in "encouraging developments," he said. And there's a researcher, he added, who's making progress on testing that goes beyond drawing blood for antibodies.
Richard S. Ostfeld, senior scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, as well as a disease ecologist specializing in Lyme disease and West Nile Virus, said while "large advances have been made even with rather paltry funding," there needs to be "rapid improvements," such as better diagnostics for early-stage Lyme, "so that when patients see their doctors in the first few days or weeks after exposure, they're not incorrectly considered uninfected (based on a negative blood test) and go untreated."
Gibson said Lyme spirochetes can hide deep in the body. Lyme, he added, is a "pernicious disease."
If early-stage Lyme is missed, it could lead to late-stage Lyme. With better diagnostics, Ostfeld said, doctors can determine whether patients suffering symptoms are infected, experiencing post-infection, autoimmune syndromes or neither.
"Distinguishing these is critical for prescribing appropriate treatment," he said.
To address chronic Lyme, there needs to be better treatment, Gibson said, but researchers and particularly doctors loath to send in data because it could expose them to liability. They're going against the guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Gibson added.
The CDC's guidelines are narrow and need to be improved to provide better treatment, he said.
He's been working on changing the guidelines for more than a year, he added.
The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) even has a better set of guidelines, noted Gibson. Treatment would go a long way, if "we can change guidelines at a federal level," he said, adding the CDC guidelines should be rewritten every five years.
There has been success in the experimental field, he said, but there's "no repository for data collected" because doctors fear working "outside of the guidelines."
And then you have health-care coverage, or a lack of it because insurance companies also follow the CDC guidelines. Gibson said that it can cost patients afflicted with Lyme as much as $1,000 out-of-pocket costs for a first consult and thousands more for treatment.
Regarding tick suppression, Gibson said avoiding a tick bite and/or early discovery are key to the fight against Lyme.
Ostfeld added there needs to be more effective, safer methods of controlling ticks in the environment. With new tick-borne diseases emerging, he said, "a better understanding of tick-host-pathogen ecology is needed for devising effective and environmentally safe tick control."
Gibson said his office was instrumental in getting language regarding Lyme disease included in recent legislation. The "Continuing Resolution," which was signed by President Obama on March 26, includes language that "acknowledges both the necessity of ongoing research efforts to combat tick-borne illnesses, as well as encourages the Agriculture Research Service (ARS) to maintain its efforts related to Lyme. The amendment urges ARS to consider the human and economic impacts of Lyme disease," according to a press release from Gibson's office.
This language regarding Lyme has been made a priority in the U.S. Congress and can now be considered by the ARS as it allocates federal funding through Fiscal Year 2013.
Gibson said with the legislation, doctors and scientists, such as Ostfeld, can compete for funding, which is yet "another avenue to attack tick-borne illnesses."
While the CDC has not yet released statistics on Lyme cases for 2012, data from 2011 shows New York state coming in second (behind Pennsylvania) for reported Lyme disease cases. In 2011, 96 percent of Lyme cases were reported from 13 states — New York included. However, as Gibson stated, cases in New York are underreported.
In a Hudson-Catskill Newspapers article last May, Dr. Ananthakrishnan Ramani, chairman of the Columbia-Greene Lyme Task Force, made the same comment. He said, "A lot of physicians are becoming so good at Lyme, they're diagnosing and treating it without reporting it to the county."
One reason, he noted, is the cumbersome forms that have to be filled out. Compared to other New York counties, Columbia has been ahead in the number of cases, according to the state Department of Health. Based on figures for 2007-09 (released in April 2011), Columbia had 792.4 cases per 100,00 population, compared to 593.3 in Greene, 304 in Dutchess and 285.8 in Rensselaer.
The Health Department states that ticks are active May through July, but May is when most people who get Lyme disease are exposed to it. This is why May has been declared Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
Gibson drove home two major points: tick-borne advisory groups "will make breakthroughs, much like the AIDS groups" and "CDC guidelines need to change." Gibson plans to continue to advocate for his constituents' peace of mind concerning Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

This guest post is by John Trayhorn of the ECHO Affiliate Blog.
This post describes a problem that affects almost all bloggers, and almost certainly affects you. Implement these changes, and you should see page views, revenues and social sharing soar.
How it begins
You start off a great blog.
To start with almost nobody reads it. Hey, it takes time to build up an audience. (If you've just started, don't give up—longevity is one of the keys to a successful blog!)
As time passes, you slowly gain an audience. When you publish a new blog post, you get a surge of readers.
- Most of those readers will never see your old blog posts.
- Despite your increasing popularity, many people who do visit your blog and like it will miss many of your new blog posts.
- The readers never see your blog organised into a logical and coherent sequence.
There's a solution.
What's more, it's easy to implement, has huge benefits and doesn't take a lot of your time.
The solution to the problem
I first found the solution when I ran an Adsense website.
I noticed that most of the revenue came from our articles about jobs. We were already using an autoresponder website to send out our newsletters. But to maximise revenue, we needed to do something more.
Email blogging, done right
You may well have heard of autoresponders, or use one yourself, but hang on in with me—there's more to it than sending out a few emails when you write a new blog post, or have something to sell.
Instead, you send out an email about every post you have ever written.
Not at the same time, of course. If you have an old blog with a lot of posts, the process could be spread out over years! And don't include the post in the email—the aim is to get the reader back to your blog.
Instead, explain how each blog post will create value to your reader, and then include a link with a call to action back to the post. Remember to use a fantastic headline and to test these over time, so you get more and more opens—and more and more clickthroughs.
In my case, I took all our jobs articles, organised them into a logical sequence, emailed users about them over a couple of months, and watched our Adsense revenue explode from a few few hundred dollars to a peak of just under $3000.
You can see an example of one of our autoresponder emails here:
As I found out later, this approach works even better if you have a high-value product to sell.
Benefits for you, benefits for your readers
Think of this:
- Everyone you sign up gets to see every great post you have ever written (if any have bombed, you should cut them out of the email sequence—if not your blog).
- A one-off visitor can be turned into a person who visits your blog multiple times over the years using this technique.
What's more, an increase in regular visitors leads into other benefits, such as:
- more social sharing
- more links
- more comments
- more revenue
- and the much greater relationship you get with long-term readers.
This approach does require a change of emphasis on your blog. If you use this technique, your primary goal should be to get readers to sign up, not just to read.
You will also need to create a clear benefit to signing up, such as a free guide, an email course or, if you are selling a product, discount codes. (An email course can be as simple as your existing blog posts organised into a more logical sequence.)
Don't think you are being selfish, either. There are clear benefits to the reader, who gets an organized sequence of free blog posts about a topic they're interested in.
Have you used autoresponders to get traffic to your old posts? Tell us how it worked in the comments.

Its every parents personnal choice, but my son slept in his own room the same day he came home from the hospital. We are expecting our second child and our daughter will be sleeping in her own room.
When should I move my baby into their own room?
When babies are newborn, it can be convenient and more comforting to have them in the same room as you. When should you let them sleep on their own in their own room?
First day home from the hospital. Our son has always slept in his crib in his room.
id say about 2 years old
When you are BOTH ready. Don't push a kid out, ease them into their own space by letting them help decorate and getting them really excited about their new space and don't feel upset if they creep back into your room fairly often. lol
So glad to have read this my son is 2 and were in the same room his crib is in there of course
Children cannot self-soothe until about 6 months old, from a developmental standpoint, so that is the answer I believe is best, at BASE MINIMUM. Before that, a child might wake up, be unable to soothe themselves back to sleep and feel alone and panicked.
Personally, I breastfeed and if my child was in a different room, I wouldn't be getting any sleep, so I'll probably move him when he night weans, whenever that may be.
I think it is a personal choice. My LG is 11 months and sleeps in her crib in our room, mainly because my husband works away for a month every 2nd month. Selfishly I like having her company when we're alone. Hopefully when the time comes to move her to her own room, it wont be too difficult.Only time will tell though...
I moved 1st at 1 1/2 2nd at 3 months. They do fine and stretch out!
i definatly agree that it is a personal choice. My 1st went into his cot at 3 months. he had been sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and he was just too long for the bassinnet and was rolling over so it was a safety risk too. My daughter on the other hand turns 1 in a week and is still in the bassinet in our room. she has alot of medical issues including having a apnea attack where she had to be revived and she required home oxygen untill she was 9 months old. My partner wants her in her room on her 1st birthday but when she moves she has to share with her 12 year old half sister and im not comfortable with that as i know she will be disturbed all night by her half sister wanting to play mini mum plus she does still occasionally wake for feeds and i dont want to have to go into another room to feed her and settle her back down.
Its really a personaly prefference at times. I like to make it though flue season only because with my 1st we had only a 1 bed room so she was in our room. But she got the flue and could not role over so I herd it right away :). Right now my second sleeps though the night and is in our room. I like it this way. I think we will move him around 9 months to a year.
Both my boys came home from the hospital and slept in their cot in their own room. We just have a monitor and we are comfortable with this. It elimanates problems when they have to move into the cot and their own room later on
with all the sleep problems I read here I'd say asap. I put my kids in their cribs the day they came home from the hospital. All but for my last baby, we shared the daybed until he was around 2 months old and sleeping throughout the night....but I didn't wait too long and create a monster that needed me in order to sleep.
They had plenty of cuddles/holding time during the day, were tucked snugly in their beds and were tended to if they woke up.
Just because they are in their own beds does not mean ignoring them when they waken.
I never co-sleep with my kids as I needed some adult time.
Its all personal choice, some mom's get better sleep if babe is by their sides (especially breastfeeding) as there is no need to get out of bed.
its all on your personal comfort but u can asap... but if u want to wait till they are older 6 months is a good start because the risk of SIDS goes down dramaticaly after 6 months
we did after 7 months, but with any baby and any parent is different. it is whatever is best for everybody that counts.
my daughter is 10 1/2 months and i'd love to move her to her own room, however, she needs mommy to put her binky back in her mouth (several times per night!). if i could go back in time, i wouldn't give her a binky at all. she's now growing out of her bassinet and just started pulling herself up, so today we're bringing her crib into our room. i'm hoping she'll adjust okay. i'm also trying to figure out how to teach her to either not need her binky at night or to put it back in herself (!). any advice, i'd greatly appreciate! :)
I heard that cutting the tip of the binky off will make it less appealing. My daughter also uses a binky but she keeps it in at night now and she stays asleep if it falls out. Do you let her have it during the day? To play with and figure out how to put it in herself?
thanks so much lacienn! my daughter used to use her binky all the time, so she's good at putting it in her mouth when she wants it. now, it's mostly used at night because i'm trying to wean her off; but sometimes i give it to her during the day if she's teething (it seems to help her to feel better). i might try to cut off the tip and see what happens... :) she naps without it most times, so i'm surprised she needs it so much during the night. it's SO annoying waking up so often to help her find it and put it back in! i don't think i could just take it away all together, but it might come to that... :(
try putting a sippy cup of water in her bed instead of a nuk, it worked for me. see what happens! it worked for all of my 4 kids and my youngest who is now 16 months old and she is still in our room with us in a crib. She will be in with us until 2 just as her brother and sisters were and we have no bed time problems with any of them when we put them in there own rooms at 2. Good luck!
I moved my daughter to her crib at 8 weeks. She still woke up at night and I still went and checked on her. but getting up was worth her learning to feel safe in her own room instead of needing me to be next to her to go to sleep. It also depends on your partner, and how they feel. I'm mama to two step children and their mom co-slept with them until they were 2 and 3 and when they weren't co-sleeping they shared a bedroom. When I came into the picture they were still trying to crawl into bed with their dad and me. They weren't comfortable sleeping by themselves until just this year and every once in a blue moon they still want to sleep with us or each other. (We bring them in for a little while if they have a nightmare or it's stormy outside) I think the later you move them the more likely they are to be uncomfortable in their own bed. I don't think this is true of all children and also not for those who need a careful watch due to medical issues. In the end it depends on the attitude of the baby and the parents, but once you decide to do it be firm. Don't create dependency issues. (not that you would)
Our kid's rooms are all upstairs while our room is downstairs so I had ideas of keeping them in my room until they started sleeping thru night and I felt comfortable with not having to do "breath" checks when I had my first two babies. I always figured 5 months or so would be ideal. However, I quickly learned, especially with baby #3 & #4, that they tell you when it might be time by purely just growing out of their bassinet! My youngest is 4 months and I had to move him to his crib several weeks ago bc he is just too darn long for the bassinet! I miss him down here but he's stretching out up there :-)
move them into there own bed by end of 1-2 week cause they need to learn to fall asleep and sooth them self back into sleep or else there gonna want you 2 do it for them that IS A BAD HABIT TO GET INTO!!! i had this EXACT problem with my son ! my girl was in her crib after the first week and she was alot better as she got older was able to sooth herself back to sleep on her own!!!!

This summer, the Stanley Cup has been on quite an adventure.
It's been a big sippy cup for chocolate milk, traveled in a boat across the waters of Slovenia's Lake Bled and visited Russia, to name a few.
But on Tuesday, NHL's storied trophy made an excursion into Orange County.
Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Penner brought the Stanley Cup to the Newport Beach Police Department at the request of K-9 Officer Mike Fletcher, a lifelong Kings fan, according to police.
Penner, who has an off-season home in Newport, met with members of the department and their families and posed with the coveted cup.
Since the Kings won in June, the trophy has also traveled throughout Southern California, Canada and the northeastern United States.
To read more about the cup's travels, visit the Stanley Cup Journal on the NHL's website.

hey all
I am just getting a little confused as to where you are legally permitted to drive 4x4's in my area, i have read up and now know that BOATs are a yes (unless signposted) and routes with other access are a maybe depending on signage etc so armed with this knowledge, i bought some ordinance survey maps and began searching, simply put, there arent any! i managed to find one little stretch with no clear byways to or from it, and it was miles away from me! now having looked on various 4x4 forums and websites, it is clear that there are open roads for 4x4's around, one of which is between grosmont and levisham up on the moors, though looking at the OS maps, i cant see one, only footpaths and bridleways, the same applies to a village called wetwang, has been noted there is a green lane here, yet does not appear on the OS map, or any other online maps i have come across
Is their anyone in the malton / york / scarborough area that has any local knowledge? the best i can find are 2 fords in a local village!
Cheers all

Greenshell Mussel Festival - Havelock
The greenshell mussel capital of the world each year puts on one of the best food festivals in New Zealand. Stalls full of great food, wine and beer here.
Greenshell Mussel Festival - Havelock
Ever since Paula introduced me to greenshell mussels wrapped in bacon cooked on the barbecue I've been a fan. My wife, Paula, and I have been fortunate to have been a part of the festival since its inception in 2005 mainly because it was a part of her personal history. Paula was living in the Marlborough Sounds during the early days of the beginning of the mussel industry working with Beryl Archer seeding the lines with wild mussel spat. The Festival has become like an annual gathering for those who were there in the early days.
One of New Zealand's top quality sea food delicacies, the green shell mussel, has been lifted to the national festival level . The event takes place in the small Marlborough village of Havelock, known internationally as the Green Shell Mussel Capital of New Zealand.
The past several years has seen the Festival hosting thousands of people enjoying the many styles of mussel preparation being offered and other exciting foods plus a day packed full of entertainment and activities for all ages. It is held on the green down by the waterfront in Havelock.
Over ninety stalls, including arts and crafts, with specialty food stalls serving whitebait, oysters, venison, wild pork and numerous styles of mussel offerings. Monteiths Brewery along with several wineries provide the beer and wines to match the foods available.
While enjoying the fabulous food and drink everyone will be able to experience non-stop entertainment with guest celebraties serving as the MC's and as the
celebrity judges for the Mussel Industry competitions and on stage the music and dance go on throughout the day. For the children there is a special Kidzone starring Walnut the Clown Show, along with bouncy castle, inflatables, balloon animals, face-painting, and Mr. Whippy.
Don't miss the popular special mussel events such as the Marlborough Mussel Munch, the Golden Greenshell Mussel Opening Contest and the Sealord's Mussel Hustle. There will be another Guinness World Record mussel opening attempt. A new record was set at 100 mussels opened in 2 minutes 38 seconds.
You can stroll over to the Mussel Harvest commercial docks to enjoy a first hand demonstration on how the vessels harvest the Marlborough mussels.
The Aoteroa Seafood's marquee will be where Bill and Sandee Floyd divulge the secret art of creating the "mussel and beer matching" cuisine plus a celebrity chef will be providing details on how to prepare and present the greenshell mussel in order to encourage its finest taste at your table.
The greenshell mussel actually began its commercial days from 1927 being dredged from the muddy bottoms of the Hauaki Gulf and the Firth of Thames peaking in the 1960's with a catch of around 1000 tons before the beds became overfished. Fishermen in the Tasman Bay, Golden Bay and the Sounds then began mussel dredging operations. When the dredging mussel operation began to run out hand picking from the beaches became the source. It seemed everybody and their brother got into the act.
The marine farming of mussel in New Zealand generated from MAF officer Duncan Waugh visit in 1963 to Spain where he was taken a tour of their blue mussel farming rafts.
On our way to Havelock this year I decided to stop and have a chat with Graeme Coates, the executive officer for the New Zealand Marine Farming Association, at his office in Blenheim. I felt everyone would like to have more information about New Zealand's only native farmed seafood and its largest seafood export.
Graeme's background is well suited to represent the industry with a background as an aquatic botanist during the 1970's and involved in the mussel industry since the late 1980's. Graeme is a very personable and approachable person. It was indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to spend time in knowledgeable discussion and be filled in to what happened and is happening with New Zealand's most internationally famous seafood.
I asked Graeme where he thought the industry was at today and where it was going internationally and here in New Zealand? What are the problems?
The following information was provided:
"The mussel business is booming with last year's production totaling 95,000 tons with 75,000 tons of that coming from the Marlborough region. There are 645 mussel farms and associated work employing aound 2000 full-time jobs in the district.
Due to government moratoriums on new space the revenue stalled at $300 million
in export dollars. With the new legislation they look for by 2020 earnings in excess of $1 billion.
One of the serious problems faced constantly is in the biosecurity area keeping out the contamination by various organisms that invade the mussel growing and thriving on the mussel farm lines.
The mussel industry is at the forefront of water quality check, control and management with extensive research. The water is so pure, in our farming areas, that we are the only country that can process our mussels direct from the lines to exporting. It is cleaner and greener than organic farming and recognized as the most 'Ocean Friendly' shellfish in the world by American environmental agency Blue Ocean Institute. "
With our desire today to find and enjoy food that is healthy, flavorful and enjoyable
the Greenshell mussel far exceeds any other food. It provides almost everything that is good for you. Low in calories, low in cholesteral, high in the good Omega 3's and 6's with 47% of our daily required iron and a perfect source of protein.
The mild and sweet flavour of the greenshell mussel is a compliment to a diverse number of cuisine styles from tapas, paellas, curries or with pasta. We enjoy ours cleaned and wrapped with bacon and barbecued. Only your imagination limits their use. They can be steamed, boiled, baked or fried and still provide an excellent meal.
A Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a pleasant companion or a Mac's summer ale.
However you may wish to try the Greenshell mussel you will be rewarded with excellence.
So if you are lucky enough to be here during Festival time make sure you drop by Havelock and enjoy the day.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Norman, Okla. Sandwiched between an emotionally charged victory against archrival Kansas University and a top-10 showdown with first place on the line, No. 4 Missouri faced a test of its collective focus.
The Tigers got a passing grade — barely.
Marcus Denmon scored 25 points, Ricardo Ratliffe added 15 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 4 Mizzou claimed first place in the Big 12 by edging Oklahoma, 71-68, on Monday night.
"We understand that this game was just as important as the last one," Denmon said. "Pretty much, we have a veteran group and we just wanted to make sure everybody came out and understood how important this game would be for us to play after a big win like the one at home against Kansas."
Coach Frank Haith required his players to report to a hotel by 2 a.m. after their late-night victory against the then-No. 8 Jayhawks, trying to temper the celebration and get a head start on a road game less than 48 hours later against an opponent they had beaten by 38 points earlier this season.
Asked whether it was the right move, Denmon and Ricardo Ratliffe looked at each other and didn't say a word.
Finally, Denmon answered and got a pat on the back from his first-year coach.
"Whether I wanted to go to the hotel or not, I understood," Denmon said. "I understood that it was a good decision by Coach and it seems like it helped us."
The Tigers host Baylor on Saturday.
Oklahoma (13-10, 3-8) still had the ball with a chance to tie with 5 seconds left. Romero Osby was fouled with 2.5 seconds left and missed both free throws, and Steven Pledger missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer when the offensive rebound was tapped back to him.
Pledger slumped to the ground and put his hands over his face after his potential tying shot clanged off the rim to end the game. He stayed on the floor until two Missouri players and teammate Barry Honore came over to lift him up.
"It was perfect. The play was designed to miss the free throw and get the tip-out and we actually got the tip-out," said Pledger, who led Oklahoma with 22 points.
"It was on line. It felt good when it left my hand. It didn't go in."
Sam Grooms had a career-high 17 points and matched his career-best with 10 assists, and Andrew Fitzgerald scored 12 points for the Sooners.
Michael Dixon chipped in 13 points for Missouri.
The Tigers (22-2, 9-2) moved a half-game ahead of No. 6 Baylor and No. 7 Kansas in the standings. Those teams meet Wednesday night for a chance to pull even with Missouri, and the Tigers host the Bears on Saturday.
This one was nothing like Oklahoma's previous meeting with Missouri, won 87-49 by the Tigers on their home court. Missouri held a 15-rebound advantage in that one but Oklahoma came out ahead 36-22 on the boards on Monday.
The Tigers made up for it by holding a 28-12 scoring edge the paint and getting the only 10 fast-break points of the game.
"There's no question you had to fight against all of that — the emotional win and then you have a game at your place where you just played incredible and they didn't play their best game," Haith said.
"So, you get a false sense. You worry about that false sense of what it's going to be like when they get here."
In Norman, they found a half-full Lloyd Noble Center and a student section with dozens of empty seats that had newspapers draped over the backs that the occupants would usually hold up during pregame introductions.
It still got loud when the Sooners pulled within 66-64 after Pledger's 3-pointer from the left side with 3:33 to play.
Denmon followed with a jumper from the right side with 2 seconds left on the shot clock before Grooms and Pledger both went 1 for 2 at the free throw line to get Oklahoma back within two.
Kim English then hit a 3-pointer from the right side off Phil Pressey's seventh assist to provide what proved to be the game-winner with 53.6 seconds left.
Fitzgerald hit two free throws for Oklahoma with 41.6 seconds remaining and Dixon missed on a drive to the basket to give the Sooners their last chance with 5 seconds left.
"We never let them take the lead, and that was a sign of a good team," Haith said. "I think once they made runs, we executed when we needed to make a shot."
Oklahoma connected on its first six shots, and eight of 10 to get out to a 17-12 lead before Missouri surged back with seven straight points to take its first lead. The Sooners had an answer a few minutes later, getting two jumpers from Fitzgerald and a 3 by Pledger to go back up 29-23 with 5:27 left before halftime.
At that point, it didn't seem like the hotel strategy was working.
"I felt like we came with energy," Denmon said, "but it has to be on both ends."
As hot as Oklahoma started from the field, it was equally cold at the foul line — missing all seven of its free throws in the first half.
The Tigers finally took charge, scoring the final six points of the first half and the first six of the second to build a 42-33 lead after Denmon's three free throws.
Dixon's jumper from the right side of the key gave Missouri a momentary 10-point lead before Pledger hit consecutive 3-pointers to get the crowd involved. Oklahoma got within 55-52 after Grooms' jumper from the right wing with 12 minutes left before coming up empty on three possessions with the chance to tie it.
"You want to win at this point in time," Grooms said. "We just have certain plays and certain mishaps on the court that don't allow us to do that right now. ... When we're ready to do it, we'll do it. It's up to us at the end of the day."

The wait is finally over, as the Yamaha YZF-R25 has been revealed to the world, at a press launch in Indonesia. Based aroun a fuel-injected 249cc parallel-twin engine, which makes 35.5hp and 16.7 lbs•ft of torque, the YZF-R25 is Yamaha's response to the newly revived 250cc sport bike category, which Honda and Kawasaki have been dominating, as of late.
Built in Indonesia, and being released into that market in July of this year, Yamaha sees 12,000 units being sold worldwide in the next 12 months for the R25 — a number we suspect will grow as more markets added.

Word Count
Writers Talk About Writing
Word Tasting Note: "Lagniappe"
A baker's dozen of reasons I like the word lagniappe:
1. Who doesn't like a little something extra, such as a tip or a bonus or that little extra baked good that used to sometimes be slipped into my bag at Pop's Bakery? That's what lagniappe means, after all.
2. It's borrowed from French, which borrowed it from Spanish, which borrowed it from Quechua, which is what the Incas spoke.
3. The Spanish version is la ñapa, which makes me think of Napa, which is a nice place in California where they make wine. (I do not care about NAPA Auto Parts.)
4. That tilde on the ñ looks like a toupée, or a spoiler on a car. Or a scowling or skeptical eyebrow.
5. The Quechua source word is yapa, meaning "that which is added", and I think it's a nice, happy-looking word, even if it does make me think of little dogs.
6. The /njap/ sound makes me think of the "nyup nyup" sound the Ewoks make in Return of the Jedi.
7. The sound of the word makes me think of "line ya up on the lawn, yup, for a long nap." And who doesn't want to be lined up on a lawn for a long nap? It sounds lovely to me. Provided the weather is warm.
8. Looking at it makes me think of apple lasagna.
9. For whatever reason, I associate it with Louisiana, and especially New Orleans. I have never been there. But it seems like a term that should be used in stores and restaurants there, and to refer to what you give the dealer at your baccarat table on the riverboat.
10. Lagniappe doesn't easily lend itself to a fake acronymic etymology, unlike tip, which has the inane and false supposed origin to improve performance being passed around like a doobie at a high-school beach party.
11. It has nine letters but only five phonemes — or six, depending on whether you say it as "lan yap" or as "la ñap" (a palatalized n is really a single sound just as a diphthong is). And you know how classy "silent letters" seem.
12. It can anagram to pagan pile or leaping pa or apple gain. Please write a 250-word story involving these three things, due on Friday. We will read them in class.
13. Constance Hale, @sinandsyntax, recently tweeted, "I don't know why I love the word lagniappe, but I do. Maybe I just like freebies?" And if it's good enough for Constance Hale, it should be good enough for anyone.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Video Learning Network, a system of 28 identically equipped high-technology classrooms at campuses statewide, has won the Association for Continuing Higher Education's (ACHE) Northeast Metropolitan 2013 Exceptional Program Award for excellence in credit programming.
ACHE is dedicated to promoting lifelong learning and excellence in continuing higher education. Penn State's award was presented June 14 at ACHE's Northeast Metropolitan Region spring conference in New York City.
"This award recognizes the VLN education delivery model, which is designed to make it easier for adults to access education close to home," said VLN Director Rosemarie Piccioni.

Officials said they suspect lightning started a house fire in Richlands Monday afternoon.
Officials said they suspect lightning started a house fire in Richlands Monday afternoon.
The fire broke out around 5 p.m. at 301 Legato Lane off of Harmony Way, an empty home up for sale, officials said.
Richlands, Half Moon, Rhodestown and Hargett�s Crossroads volunteer fire departments all responded to the blaze.
Richlands Assistant Fire Chief Michael Jarman said they suspect lightning hit the home, because a lightning storm was moving through the area at the time, and a neighbor told officials they had seen lightning strike near the home.
The fire was contained to the attic in the single-story home, Jarman said, except for one corner where the fire burnt through to the roof in a 10-by-10 area.
He said the responding departments had to pull the sheetrock ceiling down to fight the fire, which they extinguished within approximately 30 minutes of arriving on the scene.
They cleared the scene around 8 p.m.
Jarman said the house was not occupied by anyone, and it would be up to the realty company if it wishes to rebuild the roof or start from scratch.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher and motivational speaker Brian Holman will speak at the performing arts center at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in Marion as part of the Chingawassa Days worship service sponsored by Marion Ministerial Alliance.
"He was one out away from throwing a perfect game," Marion Christian Church pastor Carl Helm said. "He starts out his talks by showing a video of the ninth inning of that game. He's just a really, really good motivational speaker."
Holman knows the pain of personal loss. He and his family have overcome great adversity. He uses his life experiences to encourage and inspire a host of audiences.
He pitched for the Montreal Expos, Seattle Mariners, and the Cincinnati Reds before he was forced to retire because of an arm injury.
He is involved with a number of non-profit and philanthropic organizations and currently serves on the board of directors of Esperanza International.
He also participates in and supports the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Young Life, Pro Athletes Outreach, Children's Hospital, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the National Christian Foundation.
Holman is also a member of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association and works as a special assistant to the general manger for the Wichita Wingnuts Professional Baseball Club.
In 2007, Holman was inducted into the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame.

Lawford, the son of President Kennedy's sister Patricia and actor Peter Lawford, married Mercedes Miller in Maui on Sunday
Christopher Kennedy Lawford, the son of actor Peter Lawford and President John F. Kennedy's sister Patricia, married Mercedes Miller in Maui, Hawaii, over the weekend.
Lawford, 59, met his bride, a yoga teacher, 34, in Maui, where they both live part time. It's his second marriage. (He has three children from his first marriage to Jeannie Olsson.)
The theme for Sunday's wedding was Hawaiian, from the food to the flowers.
The décor featured tropical and native plants from Maui, as well as orchids, peonies, roses and a bleached driftwood arch, which the couple stood under as they exchanged vows.
The groom, whose father, Peter, was a member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack, wrote a best-selling memoir Symptoms of Withdrawal in 2005 about his near-fatal addiction to alcohol, painkillers and heroin and his path to sobriety.
Today, Lawford, who has been sober 27 years, is grateful for how far he's come. "God must love me a lot," he says, "because I was able to find this amazing woman on a rock in the Pacific!"
His new bride is equally effusive.
"Marrying Christopher Lawford is knowing that I have my best friend for life," says Mercedes Lawford. "And that is the best feeling in the world!"
Family and friends of the couple dined on a Hawaiian-inspired menu prepared by Chef Dan Fiske featuring Ahi tuna sashimi salad, Maui beef carpaccio and locally caught fresh fish steamed with lemongrass and ginger, followed by an array of desserts including mango and strawberry shortcake, macadamia nut shortbread and a raw wedding cake with chocolate, lilikoi (the local name for passionfruit) and coconut.
Lawford was only 8 when his uncle, JFK, was assassinated in Dallas. After his second uncle, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968, he began to self-medicate with alcohol and drugs.
Since Symptoms of Withdrawal, he's written three books about addiction and healing, including his latest What Addicts Know: 10 Lessons from Recovery to Benefit Everyone.
