From Ethnomusicology, Spring/Summer 2014

Review by Robert W. Fry, Vanderbilt University
Troubadour Blues. Directed, produced and edited by Tom Weber. 2011. DVD, 91 minutes. Distributed by Tom Weber Films, LLC, website: http:// tomweberfilms.com.
The film Troubadour Blues follows the careers of modern day American folk musicians as they travel through the country and document their experiences and the stories of those they meet along the way. The film opens by linking musicians, including Peter Case, Chris Smither, Dave Alvin, Mary Gauthier, Garrison Starr, and Slaid Cleaves, to a long history of musical storytelling, most notably the American blues, a connection that is suggested in the title of the film and reinforced by the musicians who, in interviews, praise the honesty and realness of folk musicians such as John Lee Hooker, Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, and Ralph Stanley.
In the process, these musicians authenticate their own musical path through personal and artistic connections to these legends and their craft. Their honesty as folk singers is further reinforced in the opening scene, where the viewer is first introduced to Peter Case performing a song about homelessness. In the following montage, the song stays the same while the venue's location and decor, and Case's dress and hairstyle, continuously change, reinforcing not only themes of travel, but also the authenticity of the performer and his role as a travelling storyteller. Case supports this in the opening interview, where he states: "You've got to look inside your heart. You've got to look in the eyes of people around you, listen to their voices. You've got to find a song in there worth singing, and you've got to go wherever it goes."[ Read More → ]
Although this site mainly showcases acoustic singer-songwriters, here's a little change of pace, two songs by Buffalo, NY, Hall-of-Famer MARK WINSICK and his fine band. The songs pretty much speak for themselves. Recorded live at Sportsmen's Tavern in Buffalo, NY, on a wintry Wednesday night in January 2014.[ Read More → ]
The Troubadour Blues Roadshow, a unique blend of film, poetry, acoustic songs and plugged-in rock & roll, visits three cities in Tennessee this month. The show features singer-songwriters RB Morris and Nancy Apple, roots-rockers the Tim Lee Three, and a special preview of the film Troubadour Blues (which will be on sale at all shows). We'll be at the Pilot Light in Knoxville on Thursday, Oct. 10, the Family Wash in Nashville on Friday, Oct. 11 (with special guests Amelia White and Julie Christensen), and Kudzu's in Memphis on Saturday, Oct. 12. Click the links for details.
Hope to see you there! We'll be undertaking similar mini-tours in other parts of the country over the fall and winter, with a rotating roster of great performers.[ Read More → ]
You may not know this, but a film's "star" rating on the IMDB database is an important factor for streaming video services like Netflix and Hulu, who use it to decide what films to license and for how long.
The process is simple and you don't even need to have an IMDB account to do it. Simply go to the film's IMDB page and click where it says "rate this film. Here's a screen shot to help you.[ Read More → ]
Mine is definitely the one with the longest title:
The Man with the Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar — Blue Guitar, for short.
I was with Peter the other night in Carrboro, NC, when he played, back-to-back, two of the 10 classic songs on that album — which has been in and out of print for a long time; I included the link to Amazon.com because they list used copies available. The lighting was just right, the sound was good and the crowd was small but appreciative.[ Read More → ]

Southington High School's senior class was given a dire warning about the dangers of distracted driving, during an assembly that was put together by community volunteers.
Usually done shortly before the senior prom, warning students about the risks of drunk driving is something of a tradition at high schools. However, the rise of accidents as a result of drivers sending text messages rather than paying attention to the road has prompted local administrators to try and address this issue as well.
"We want the kids to understand the risks involved with distracted driving," said SHS Principal Dr. Martin Semmel. "We care about them and we want them to make the right decision. The prom may be this weekend, but this is important every day."
School resource officer Don Mackenzie said that texting distracts a person's eyes, hands and brain all at once, making it a terrible activity to do while driving. There were several videos that depicted the aftermath of serious accidents, along with a totaled car sitting in front of the school.
"You might say that it's just a video and that won't happen, but I've been a police officer for ten years and I've seen it," Mackenzie said.
One of the first videos depicted simulated violence and even had a figure wandering around the scene dressed like the Grim Reaper. This got some laughs from the students, but the videos got progressively more intense and included real footage from accidents and emergency surgeries. A handful of students found the scenes too visceral and left the room.
"I've seen hundreds of teens who have been injured in car crashes," said Dina DeGumbia, a registered nurse who is also co-president of the high school's PTO. "Most of them are as a result of distracted driving."
In addition to the physical risks of drunk or distracted driving, there are also considerable legal ones. Town Councilor Lou Martocchio, a local attorney, spoke about Connecticut's strict driving laws and the massive financial consequences that can come after an accident where the driver was behaving irresponsibly.
"Assuming you make it through the accident and the trauma, then you have to deal with me," Martocchio said.
To further drive home the consequences, a woman sitting in the auditorium surprised the crowd by recounting the death of her parents at the hands of a drunk driver.
"It's scary to get a reminder that these things happen in real life," said SHS senior Taylor Waters. "Her story really got to me. It's horrible that a single act could do that."
Fellow student Bryan Davis said that the presentation "definitely had an impact. The videos they had really showed the dangers of distracted driving and the speakers were really interesting."

Post subject: University - Which One?
I will be moving to Melbourne next year and am starting to research universities. I am looking for people's insights on the universities. Pros or Cons. Do certain Uni's offer more than others? Do they have a good rep, good support system. What kind of resources do they have that are accessible? Being from Canada if I was applying here I would know in a heart beat which school to apply to, however being out of country you don't know the litte ins and outs of the schools. Therefore if anyone can help guide me in a direction so that I can make the best informed decission, I would be very thankful.

ICG Programs,
Philosophy, and Content
Our programs are characterized by candid discussions in an interactive forum with officers and directors with substantial responsibility who are leading corporations and organizations through promising opportunities, challenges, and crises. These are individuals who have thoroughly revised governance practices in the cultures of their respective organizations, and markedly improved the effectiveness of their boards, their advisory groups, and their institutions. An important outcome for participants is the development of a strong network of peers—leaders and directors who share similar responsibilities and experiences and who routinely confront contemporary governance issues. While many issues in corporate governance remain controversial, the objective of the Institute for Corporate Governance is to acquaint participants with their governance options, their implementation, best practices, and their consequences.

I am happy to say, with a couple of days of resting, my flare-up has had mercy upon me. This is like a dog who chases their tale. I will be up and active, until the next flare-up begins, from activity. Days like today, I can enjoy! I have a lot to do though. Chores! Nothing to fun, but necessary. This will help me relax. I like things cleaned. Remember the note to my roommates? Well, it has gone unnoticed! Yay! I just love my family so much, that I continue to let them get away with their behavior.
I received so many well wishes, that it lifts my spirits, especially when I'm experiencing a major flare-up. I thank you all for this. For the people who suffer from chronic pain, my heart is with all of you, too! I'd like to thank all for the encouragement and information supplied to me.
So, I'm going to celebrate with what? Need you ask? A music video! What joy! Here is a very nice video by The Red Hot Chili Peppers : Snow (Hey Oh)!

We are now entering pasta salad season, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere. Easy to assemble and delicious at room temperature, at first glance you might think that pasta salads are perfect in bentos. There are a few things to watch out for though, in order to make sure that your salad is as safe as it is delicious at lunchtime. I also have a super-easy Chickpea and Pasta Salad recipe that is very bento-friendly; t's vegetarian (easily converted to being vegan), to fit in with the theme for this month.
A lot of people probably make a pasta salad for dinner, and bring the leftovers for lunch the next day, since it's so easy to make a little extra. If you do this, the following safety tips are particularly important.
This is a very easy, bento-friendly vegetarian pasta salad. It's bento-friendly since it has no mayonnaise or onions in it. It becomes a vegan salad just by omitting the goat cheese.
This makes about 4 cups of salad, enough for 2 bentos (or 1 very generous bento.) However, you could make a quantity of the marinated chickpeas and store it in the refrigerator for a few days.
The marinated chickpeas:
Drain and (if you're using canned) rinse the chickpeas. Pat dry with paper towels. Combine all the ingredients and toss well. Let marinate, covered, in the refrigerator overnight or up to 4-5 days.
For the salad:
Cook the pasta in salted water (the method using just a little water works well here). Add the snow peas at the last minute or two to cook them too.
While the pasta is cooking, cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Cut or crumble the goat cheese.
Drain the pasta well, and take out the snow peas. Slice the snow peas into slivers.
Toss the still hot pasta with the marinated chickpeas, including the marinade (take out the raw garlic). Add the tomatoes and toss more. Since the pasta is warm, it will slightly 'cook' the tomatoes, making a sort of sauce. Add the cheese and the snow peas, and taste to see if you need to add any seasoning (a little extra grind of pepper may be needed). Let cool completely. (Putting it into a metal tray or bowl will help to cool it down faster.)
Make sure the lettuce leaves are completely dry (pat dry if needed with kitchen or paper towels) and line your bento box. Add the pasta salad and the optional radishes.
I used the type of radish called French Breakfast in the U.S. here - they have a sort of watercolor quality about them, which make them much prettier I think than regular round radishes (though I love those too). I cut them into little tulips, by making little diagonal cuts into the middle of each, in the way devilled eggs are often cut. After cutting, I salted them lightly (which enhances the flavor while cutting the sharpness a bit), and packed them into the corner of the bento. I didn't mix them into the pasta salad because the radishes do exude some moisture.
If you don't want to bother with cutting the tulip shapes, just slice the radishes - or even leave them whole.
(Incidentally, it's tough photographing pasta salads so that they don't look like a mess! This one looks a bit messy, but it is tasty I promise.)
Follow and Like our Facebook Page! And visit our sister site, Just Hungry
This looks so tasty and colorful! I'll have to try making those radish tulips soon! My grandma taught me how to make radish roses once upon a time, so now I can make a whole bouquet out of vegetables, haha ^_^
Wow! It looks and sounds REALLY good! Thanx for sharing the recipe! Can't wait to try! ^^
This salad looks amazing! I love radishes - yum! And thanks for all the handy tips!
I made this for lunch today, though I did not let my chickpeas marinate overnight. I think it will be absolutely delicious though. I also made a few changes, but hope to have kept with the spirit of the salad. I added some dill and basil and used chardonnay vinegar for the lemon juice (we didn't have any!) I am looking forward to more fresh bento recipes like this! Thanks for sharing!
I like the colours and the tulips, of course, they add a little bit of magic in this hard life!
1 c. rich soy milk
4 tsp. honey or rice syrup
1 to 1 1/2 c. safflower oil
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Blend first 2 ingredients on a low speed, gradually adding oil until it whips up and no longer agitates. Scoop into a bowl and whip in (with a fork or whisk) the next two ingredients, adding gradually. Mixture will stiffen. Add last two ingredients. Mix well and chill. Serve just like mayonnaise.
I have made many salads for our bentos, but this one is the BEST!

Among the things I didn't expect to receive in my inbox this week was a press release about an Irish animated horror movie, made by children but distinctly non-child friendly. Here's the story, and here's the complete film on YouTube.
THE GREEN MARKER SCARE is an Irish horror movie animated by children that contains virtually no sex or violence but which according to Jones may be even scarier as a result.
"Explicit or effects-driven stuff has never interested me as a filmmaker," Jones says. "It's always been my sense that what you don't show is more powerful. I'd wager THE GREEN MARKER SCARE is more disturbing than any big-budget American horror this year because not only does it deal with people who prey on children but was actually animated by a group of children. It has a terrible authenticity."
A father of three himself, Jones ensured that he was ethical in the making of the film and has a history of dealing provocatively with challenging issues like suicide, nomadic communities and schizophrenia in his movies and books. He also favours female protagonists. The main character in THE GREEN MARKER SCARE is an Irish girl-sleuth called Noreen who discovers that something very sinister is taking place in her small country town.
"We decided to start with the old mold of the girl-detective," Jones says. "But instead of giving her harmless art burglars to deal with, throw her the worst thing imaginable and watch her mind grapple with it. The penny still hasn't dropped about Ritual Abuse in the 21st century and that made it interesting for a naïve cartoon character to stumble across."
Jones' new film is also unusual in terms of distribution which is testament to how much the media landscape has changed since he began making films. His debut HOW TO CHEAT IN THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE went on general release in cinemas all over Ireland, his second movie FUDGE 44 offended Japan on DVD and now his third THE GREEN MARKER SCARE is premiering online until the end of November - link jumps straight to trailer:

From the time of Cold war the Capitalist's and communist's were contravene each-other.But whose Ideology and main motto of work is good.
Views: 300
Neither. Both lead to extremes. Stalinist Communism and Lenonian Communism are both a failure. Currently we live in a country where we are following Crony Capitalism which pretty much is corporate oligarchy and plutocracy.
I rather go for reformist democratic socialism with anarcho syndicalism. It seems to be in the middle of capitalism and socialism
Anarcho syndicalism? I'm not familiar with that.
Random ruler-less small clusters of people with common interest.
Which is better?
Define better... What does better mean when we are discussing a political ideology? What is the purpose of the system? What is the purpose of a society? Would "better" mean better fulfilling those purposes?
If the purpose of society is to provide for the population, communism is clearly a better choice. Whoever is in charge just orders things around until everyone is provided for. In practice, this has stereotypically resulted in a ruling elite and a starving populace. The other side of the coin is capitalism, where nothing about the ideology says people should be provided for: epic fail as far as our purpose is concerned. In practice, capitalism is what we have and the most effective countries in terms of our purpose are the ones where the government steps in and provides (or at least assists with providing) basic human services like health care and education.
Personally, I would like to see how a direct democracy would work. I don't want elected officials to speak for me, I am educated and informed and would like to speak for myself. I would also like to live in a utopia where everything is free. With no need to support a family, people could pursue things that actually interest them. Farmers can farm, engineers can engineer, etc.
A pox on both, with the greater pox on the current corporate screwing of the western world.
If the basic tenet of communism could be really implemented, that is the way I would go. "From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs." Notice the word each. there would be no more welfare parasites. Everyone would have to contribute.
Everyone would be assured of enough food, shelter clothing. We wold get rid of this totally inequitable distribution of wealth. Just look at some of the super wealthy. Let's take a billion dollars as a measure of wealth to consider. You can't convince me that anyone on this planet has earned a billion dollars. You just arent' worth that much.
How can a sports figure be worth 20, 30 million dollars for a year of hitting , carrying, or catching a ball? It's ludicrous.
So I agree with Adam who is for a reformist democratic socialism. THat would at least have a chance of being fair to a child born in Africa, or a child born to a crack mother here in the US. At least the baby would have a chance.
If the basic tenet of communism could be really implemented, that is the way I would go. "From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs." Notice the word each. there would be no more welfare parasites. Everyone would have to contribute.
And who is going to be in charge of deciding when you have contributed enough? Who is it that people will have to go to when they need something? I sure hope that person has a shitload of integrity and doesn't use that power for his own gain, either monetarily or just to accumulate power. His job will come down to dispensing favors, to deciding that YOU get a house, Joe, and Bob, well you don't, you will settle for an apartment, and the decision maker will be the absolute dictator. Some system. It will inevitably come down to people exercising political pull, because absolutely every decision will be a political one. If you hate wrangling with theists over what a political system will dish out to whom, all of your life would be like that under this system.
How can a sports figure be worth 20, 30 million dollars for a year of hitting , carrying, or catching a ball? It's ludicrous.
He entertains millions of people, each of them willing to pay some relatively small amount of money to watch him do it. I don't particularly like it, but he is giving value for that money; no one is stealing it for him (leaving aside taxpayer subsidized stadiums, which the electorate insists on approving when they are asked).
Hmm the intenet ate part of this somehow.
Just look at some of the super wealthy. Let's take a billion dollars as a measure of wealth to consider. You can't convince me that anyone on this planet has earned a billion dollars. You just arent' worth that much.
How much would someone have to offer you to get you to give up your computer, or Ipad or whatever it is you do your internet on? That's how much value is added to your life by that device. You surely paid much less for it, or you wouldn't have paid that much; it adds more value than it cost you. Multiply that by the hundreds of millions of people who use those devices and the people who invented, got manufactured, distribued and marketed the devices have easily added trillions of dollars of value to the world, and that would not have happened without a few key people at the top innovating. And you want to begrudge them a tiny fraction of what they have added to the world as a reward, just because it's a lot more money than you make?
I read over and over again people with the attitude that they'd rather be starving in abject poverty than not be starving but see someone else make a hundred times what they do. I put it to them like that as a hypothetical and they choose equal misery over unequal prosperity without fail. (But make no bones about it that is the actual choice reality offers.) I find this incomprehensible bordering on psychotic.
that would not have happened without a few key people at the top innovating.
You think the people who are innovating are the people who are getting rich? how quaint...
Our current system sucks. (On the other hand a lot of other systems suck far, far worse.)
But it's not in fact capitalism. It's government dispensing favors to politically favored individuals (many of whom happen to run businesses), and harassing others (also many of whom run businesses by the way, or are trying to), and sometimes they help and harass the same person at the same time.
The fundamental problems with that concept won't disappear just by changing the list of who is politically favored and who isn't. Which is what discussions like this usually come down to.
That is indeed a very interesting question.
I alluded in an earlier comment to a rather interesting (and to me inexplicable) phenomenon: People who would rather all be equally miserable than unequally prosperous. If equality of wealth is an overwhelming value to you (you cannot stand the thought that someone else might be ten or a hundred times richer than you are even if the other option is you are both starving to death) then you will be unable to tolerate capitalism; it makes no claim to equality of outcome, it just makes a claim to a better average one, and even a better lower end than the average of other systems.
They are equally good and bad. Capitalism is good because it is a better economic engine for creating wealth. Communism is good because it is a more humane philosophy that says all people deserve a substantial piece of the economic pie. Communism is bad because it usually requires an oppressively authoritarian system of controls. Capitalism is bad because it often stratifies society, thus creating a deeply poor underclass. Both suffer from the same fundamental weakness: GREED.
But there is a third option: socialism. Ask just about anybody living in Canada, Sweden, Finland, the UK, Norway, France, and any number of countries which would be their choice among those three options and they would nearly all choose socialism.
Personally, I have a strong preference for socialism, which is a balance of the two extremes. There is a reason that, in virtually every survey ever done on the attitudes of people around the world, socialist countries always come out on top in terms of perceived happiness. That is because everyone is guaranteed a decent level of subsistence; and people have NOT been brought up, as have
Americans, to worship the accumulation of wealth as the ultimate objective. In socialist countries, most people adhere to the idea that we are all our brother's keeper.

Cornyn Responds to New Pentagon Contract
with Russian Firm Arming Assad
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued the following statement in response to the Department of Defense's announcement of a new $171 million contract with the Russian state-controlled arms export firm Rosoboronexport, who continues to arm the Assad regime in Syria:
"As we speak the Assad regime continues its murderous campaign against its own people with the implicit blessing of Moscow, and the Pentagon's refusal to seek out alternatives to Rosoboronexport cements the utter disconnect between the President's stated policy in Syria and our actions abroad."
In June Sen. Cornyn sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta again expressing concerns with the U.S. Government's relationship with Rosoboronexport, who has for years been arming the Assad regime. Sen. Cornyn asked Secretary Panetta for a commitment that the Pentagon conduct a full and open competitive process for any future procurement of Mi-17 helicopters, which the U.S. has been buying through Rosoboronexport on a no-bid basis to equip the Afghan military. He asked for a full audit of the Pentagon's contract with the Russian arms broker, emphasizing its importance in the context of the stalled nomination of Heidi Shyu to serve as the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology.
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance, Judiciary, Armed Services and Budget Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee's Immigration, Refugees and Border Security subcommittee. He served previously as Texas Attorney General, Texas Supreme Court Justice, and Bexar County District Judge.

Photographer: Mrs. Obama not upset over selfie
The photographer who took the viral picture of President Obama's "selfie" with two other world leaders says Michelle Obama's expression has been distorted.
The AFP picture — shot Tuesday at Nelson Mandela's memorial service — shows Obama posing with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt, and Mrs. Obama off to the side with a disapproving look.
But, as AFP's Roberto Schmidt pointed out in a blog, "photos can lie."
Writes Schmidt: "In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance."
Schmidt also discloses that Thorning Schmidt, the Danish prime minister, produced the smartphone in which the selfie is now presumably stored.
NEWS: Click! Obama, Cameron take a selfie
The photographer describes the incident, which occurred just after Obama's eulogy for Mandela:
"So Obama took his place amid these leaders who'd gathered from all corners of the globe. Among them was British Prime Minister David Cameron, as well as a woman who I wasn't able to immediately identify.
"I later learned it was the Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt. I'm a German-Colombian based in India, so I don't feel too bad I didn't recognize her! At the time, I thought it must have been one of Obama's many staffers.
"Anyway, suddenly this woman pulled out her mobile phone and took a photo of herself smiling with Cameron and the U.S. president. I captured the scene reflexively."
Schmidt also pointed out that this was a memorial service, not a funeral: "All around me in the stadium, South Africans were dancing, singing and laughing to honor their departed leader. It was more like a carnival atmosphere, not at all morbid. The ceremony had already gone on for two hours and would last another two. The atmosphere was totally relaxed -- I didn't see anything shocking in my viewfinder, president of the U.S. or not."
The photographer also bemoans the viral attention — and criticism — the selfie has received:
"I took these photos totally spontaneously, without thinking about what impact they might have. At the time, I thought the world leaders were simply acting like human beings, like me and you.
"I doubt anyone could have remained totally stony faced for the duration of the ceremony, while tens of thousands of people were celebrating in the stadium. For me, the behavior of these leaders in snapping a selfie seems perfectly natural. I see nothing to complain about, and probably would have done the same in their place."
He also said: "I confess too that it makes me a little sad we are so obsessed with day-to-day trivialities, instead of things of true importance."

I remember once going on a visit to my grandparent's house. My grandmother took me grocery shopping and allowed me to pick out any cereal I wanted. With my new freedom, I headed straight to the sugary cereal and picked out the best (read: worst) one I could find. To this day I remember that first morning of sleepily walking out to the kitchen and pouring my sugary cereal. After a large bowl, I felt terrible.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the cereal. It was definitely an unusual treat for me. While my mother would buy us cereal, she didn't let us get the super-sweet versions, and often fed us eggs or oatmeal for breakfast as well. But when I got home two weeks later from that visit, I was more than happy to return to more wholesome fare.
So, I wasn't surprised when EWG (Environmental Working Group) investigated cold cereals, they found that many contain an alarming amount of sugar. For example, a one-cup serving of Kellogg's Honey Smacks contains 20 grams of sugar. For comparison sake, a Twinkie contains 18 grams of sugar. Other top offenders include Post Golden Crisp, Quaker Oat Ohs! and Kellogg's Apple Jacks. If you wouldn't serve your kids a Twinkie for breakfast, should you really let them pour a large bowl of one of these cereals?
One has to wonder what the effect of all of this sugar is on kid's system. How does it play into a child's performance at school, his ability to concentrate, and his general sense of well-being?
Going back to my own story from childhood, when I had the opportunity, I jumped at buying the sugary cereal. Your kids probably will, too. But in my case, I quickly realized that I didn't feel very well after eating it — but I couldn't quite seem to stop myself. I still needed some parental oversight over my eating choices. I am grateful that my mother fed us nourishing breakfasts on a consistent basis, because, if left to my own choices, I would have certainly been reaching for more sweet versions.
Thankfully, it's an easy fix for American parents. Stop buying sugary cereal and start buying less sweetened cereals (check out EWG's best cereals section on their report). Better yet, start making them a "real food" breakfast. Options include scrambled eggs and toast, oatmeal, fruit smoothies (made with yogurt and frozen fruit) and much more. When you include fiber and protein with breakfast, your kids will feel full longer and I think that we all know that the nutritional value of these homemade breakfasts beats cereals any day. (No, the low-quality vitamins sprayed all over cold cereals do not make it nutritious, in my opinion.)

MAXIMIZE YOUR ONLINE TRAFFIC FOR Delaware
Sapid Agency Is a Leading SEO Company in the Following Areas
If your specific city is not listed, just let us know and we will be glad to add it.
OUR PROVEN SEO SYSTEM IN Delaware WILL RANK YOUR WEBSITE ON GOOGLE PAGE 1
Contact us today and we can analyze your website options. We have competitive pricing and will give you a realistic time-frame for results. Keep in mind that you are seeing this page because we are ranked high in Google for SEO related terms. These are the most competitive since we go head-to-head with our competition to get the opportunity to work for you. If you're finding our site, this is a sign of what we can do to enhance exposure for your business.
HIRE THE BEST Delaware SEO EXPERT RIGHT NOW
How to Analyze Your Onsite Website Performance
Okay, so you went to the trendy web designer and you've got a website now… But you haven't had a single visit aside from a few friends and maybe your mom. You paid a lot of money (right?) and you thought that you would have web site visitors and your business would pick up, but it hasn't. Welcome to the reality of internet marketing. First of all, your website designer probably doesn't know a damn thing about onsite search engine optimization (this elegant phrase essentially means preparing a website to be shown as a result in the search engines). Let's test this theory of ours.
- Go to GTMetrix.com
- Analyze the performance of your web designer's website (or other digital marketing agency you are considering)
- Do they at least have "B" scores? If yes, maybe you're okay. If not, you've find the right USA SEO agency to help you to the next step.
- Check out our website performance score: www.sapidagency.com
If your website is not search engine optimized, then it is unlikely that you will achieve Google page one ranking for your keyword phrases. If you're currently positioned on page 1 Google because of good backlinking practices, but your site is not optimized, you have a small window of opportunity to ensure that your website stays on page 1. If your site is stuck on page 2 in Google, you're going to be fighting over 1% of the traffic along with all of your other under-optimized competitors. This is why it is imperative that you work with a top marketing firm.
What Exactly Does An SEO Agency Do?
SEO stands for search engine optimization and when you work with a top SEO agency you should expect that they will make onsite optimization changes and also conduct offsite optimization campaigns. This is a process of enhancing the performance of a website and associating keyword phrases (search terms) with pages on a site that is targeting visitors in Delaware. There are two major components to SEO: onsite optimization and offsite optimization.
Onsite Optimization Strategies
The first – and perhaps most often overlooked step – is optimizing a website. If you want your website to be competitive and to essentially qualify for Google to list it on page 1, it needs to be the fastest site with the most thorough content. In the past few years, the criteria has changed greatly and even though you may occasionally see under-optimized websites on page one Google, they will not last very long as the competition is increasing on a daily basis. We have to ensure that the appropriate title tags (H1,H2,H3, etc.) are used, meta content is optimized, content includes LSI keywords, image optimization, caching, minification, and compression are activated. These are just a few of the required factors that add to a website's considerations for being ranked. Simply having a fast site that meets GTMetrix or Google PageSpeed requirements is not enough. This is only one half of the equation but it is a significant portion. Often testing is required to determine what mix of keyword phrases and headers generate the best results in Google.
Offsite Online Marketing Strategies
Search engine optimization can include some overall server optimizations and having a decent server is important, but for the most part it has to do with the way that Google algorithms evaluate your website based upon the sites that link to it. For example, if your website has a lot of links on it from other sites that all use the keyword phrases that coincidentally your website pages are optimized for, then that is an immediate red flag for Google. This makes your site look like you've been attempting to game their ranking criteria and they don't like that. On the other hand, if your website has a variety of backlinks and social sharing on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. then it seems like an authority site within your specific niche. Without telling you our exact secret ingredients, our job is to get your website to rank on page one Google for your keyword phrases using a mixture of strategies that make it impossible for Google to ignore your site in the rankings.
Key Considerations for Search Engine Optimization and Local SEO
Work With Our Global Internet Marketing Team
As internet marketers, we know for a fact that if your business is not on the first page of Google for your keyword phrases you will be receiving less than 1% of the overall search traffic for your relevant terms. There is a lot of misinformation about doing internet marketing and in most cases the worst approach is to try to do-it-yourself because of the amount of time it takes, the necessary systems to have in place, and the COST of making a mistake. In our comprehensive internet marketing services, we proactively move your site upward in the rankings and if/when we stop seeing upward movement we adjust our techniques and adapt to the feedback Google is giving us directly and indirectly. SEO is a fluid, adaptive process and search engine rankings will always move around on a month-to-month basis as Google algorithms are updated.
Identify the issues that are preventing your site from being on Google page 1.
Our proprietary SEO system will optimize your site for FREE organic search traffic.
Start Online Marketing Campaigns Now With the Leading Delaware SEO Firm
One of the biggest emotional blockades that business owners or online marketing managers have is that feeling of not wanted to be scammed or anxiety about wasting money that can't be accounted for… When you work with our expert team, you will have access to weekly reports and obviously, as our clients, we will set up your Google Analytics account that you can check at any time. Google Analytics will help you to track website visitor demographics and search terms from Google's perspective. Our internal reporting will tell you search results position for ranking a site in and the Google Analytics reporting will share with you the site visitors, website impressions and website CTR (click-through-rate) when your site is displayed in the Google search. You will also receive a monthly summary of our search engine optimization activities in the form of direct website links or images that show offsite work (in many cases, our network of marketing experts do not reveal their direct websites for various security reasons but we will share images of the work posted on their networks).

The Department of Classics is devoted to the study of the languages, literature, and cultures of Greece and Rome, focusing on Antiquity but including all periods from the Bronze Age to Modern Greece. This study is important, as the origins of western and much Near Eastern literature, philosophy, art, religion, and social forms lay in the ancient world, making Greece and Rome vital contributors to ongoing discussions of "who we are" in a broader sense. The aim of our scholarship and teaching, however, is not only to document origins but to question the relationship between texts and social practices in both antiquity and modern times as well as to challenge current assumptions. The cultures of Greece and Rome provide us with provocative standpoints from which to understand our own very different world of rapid social and technological change. Conversely, we also recognize that our ways of looking at antiquity are evolving in response to the changes in the world around us.

President Obama has finally brushed against the cold, hard reality of budget politics in Washington, and that encounter may spell real progress on spending reform.
President Obama has finally brushed against the cold, hard reality of budget politics in Washington, and that encounter may spell real progress on spending reform.
Poll numbers show public sentiment about the budget is changing. While people are not enthralled with the leadership of either Democrats or Republicans, Obama is losing his edge against the GOP in the prolonged budget battles.
The silver lining to this is that political pressure usually brings the two parties together more surely than noble sentiments about compromise and bipartisanship. With his polls dropping, Obama is starting to actually talk to GOP leaders in Congress. The president�s �permanent campaign� could soon give way to real budget bargaining.
Such bargaining on spending issues � especially entitlements � is good news for the taxpayers and good news for the fiscal future of the nation.
Obama�s new strategy emerged recently as he held high-profile meetings with congressional Republicans. He wined and dined a few Republican senators at a D.C. restaurant. He also met with U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman and Wisconsin Republican.
Obama had been trying to win the budget debate while staying behind a campaign lectern. His strategy seemed to be to scare people into believing that the $85 billion cut in federal spending, known as sequester, would cripple the nation.
The sequester is a bad way to cut spending, but these relatively modest budget reductions aren�t a disaster for the country. The president was using exaggeration for political effect. It backfired, causing even some in the media to challenge his sincerity on the issue of deficit reduction.
The backlash appeared to catch President Obama by surprise, as he floated into 2013 on his triumph over Republican Mitt Romney in November.
Second-term presidents tend to read too much into their re-election and then overreach. President George W. Bush did this in 2005 when he made a partial privatization of Social Security a priority when the nation had far more pressing problems. Bush insisted he had earned the political capital to set the agenda in Washington.
Obama wanted to push his agenda of expanding government, despite the weak economy and the fact that the Republicans held the House.
Reality hit Obama, as it did Bush, in slumping poll numbers. A recent McClatchy poll shows Obama�s approval rating below his disapproval rating, by 3 points. Further, 44 percent of respondents prefer the Republican approach to curbing the deficit, with 42 percent favoring Obama�s approach.
Other polls show similar results. Obama and his White House staff have been awakened to the reality they are not on Mount Olympus. They will not dictate the terms of the national political debate.
The American people want a true bargain on the budget. They do not wholeheartedly embrace the agenda of either party. They want meaningful compromise.
Republicans showed they got the message when they threw in the towel on opposing tax hikes for the wealthiest Americans. Now Obama seems to be listening and hearing that he must strike a bargain on the spending side of the budget.
We�ll see. But hope and change are in the air in Washington.

Fairfield American LL advances to New England regional
HARWINTON -- On an afternoon when its usually reliable fielders who often come up with sparkling plays were prone to a case of the yips, the Fairfield American all-stars were forced to depend on solid pitching, timely hitting and aggressive base running to capture the 2014 Connecticut Little League championship.
Fairfield (12-1) earned a berth in the New England Regional for the third time in five years on Sunday when it defeated South Windsor National 12-2 in four innings at the Harwinton Sports Complex.
South Windsor (12-2) scored single runs in the first and third innings for a 2-0 lead. Then the Americans' batters began to solve the Nationals starter, working deep into the counts to get the pitches they liked, beginning in the bottom of the third inning to rally all the way for their second mercy-rule victory in as many days.
They combined to piece together six hits, six walks and a South Windsor error to score eight runs in the third inning and four more in the fourth two wrap up the state title by opening a 10-run lead after the fourth inning had started.
Fairfield shortstop Brian Howell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring in the 12th run, which ended the game; Jamie Flink belted his eighth homer of the summer, a three-run opposite-field shot to left field, in the third that gave the Americans an 8-2 lead. Earlier in the third, Ian Bentley singled home two runs to make it 2-2.
Americans' starter PJ Egan, their ace, couldn't quite match No. 2 starter Sam Davenport who stung the Nationals with a two-hitter in Fairfield's 10-0 win on Saturday. But he battled throughout and shut down South Windsor after Fairfield went ahead in the fourth.
"PJ didn't have his perfect stuff," said Fairfield manager Michael Steed, "but he had real good stuff. PJ has the ability to dig deep. He made some clutch pitches. He has pitched out of jams multiple times this season.
"We played good at times and not so good at times," Steed said. "It was a typical Little League game. There were a couple of errors, and a pitcher who has been lights out for us walked some batters down in their lineup."
Egan gave up six hits and two walks. He stranded four runners and struck out five. He pitched a no-hitter through 4 2/3 inning in his last outing, on Wednesday in the Section 1 championship game against Farmington.
"It's kind of a surprise each time you hit one over the fence," Flink said. "He threw a couple of fastballs and a curveball. He fell behind in the count. Then he threw it outside. Luckily it went out."

Now, we have different interest and we are willing to carry different amount of stuff, that's OK I think?
Of course! That is why we all use different tools. Medium format though does not necessarily mean heavy and my Hy6 is still heavier than Mamiya 7. Leica M is of course lighter...
I also assume that you are not that much interested in images like this: http://vimeo.com/user13834009/review/52012348/534f46deb5or this: http://echophoto.dnsalias.net/ekr/Demos/2012_09_15_CratersOfTheMoon_01_crop1_VC.jpg
M8 & M9 had Kodak CCD sensors that were very medium format like. Monochrom which removed the RGB filters has even more such character, and B&W hues similar T-Max. No idea what character the new M CMOS will have, except... will be interesting. Mere tad differing species Erik...
Hello,Interesting our different takes on equipment. For me the Mamiya RZ winder is indispensable and I have never shot without it. Yes its noisy but like all RZ gear it just keeps on going and going and going and going and going and going.......CheersSimon
Love my Hy6 w/80/2.8 Schneider Xenotar AF PQS, low weight, nimble, balance, lovely 6x6cm WLF view......did look close at Hassy V...even w/ just 80/2.8 Planar seem such a joy... still low weight. (prior had Mamiya 7, mere like tad beefed up Leica yet 6x7, lesser weight than above)
Chose the heavy Hy6 lenses (such as the 110 f2, 180 2.8, or the 55 PCS, and you'll be sweating bullets. Of course, there are the two zooms (60-140 or 140-280) for those who really like to pile on the pounds.
You only mentioned one aspect of those lenses: weight. The other is they are $$. Those are two advantages of Hy6 system that keeps you from buying many lenses, thus spending less and carrying less in your bag!!!!!!!! Serious, it works for me.
Rollei lenses 2100-4000 $US
Fun discusion you've been having... Got my 65mm l-a and it's a bit heavy to handhold as TMARK was warning about... Although I am not sure where the weight really is.. Almost curious enough to put all the pieces on the scale. Funny, set up on tripod no winder and my 4 year old son pulled up a stool and started to crank the winder and fire the shutter. So if a 4 year old can do it.. How difficult could the RZ67 be... ISO 200 f/4 about 1/3s with just lighting from tungsten fixture. Noise wise, i really hate it past 200 ISO processing in LR quickly. Downsized, images are OK. How far do you guys push the ISO/noise reductions? Regarding cost, I got lucky to have found a rich dentist (ok i don't really know what he did, something medical) that only took 200 shots, none good i don't think (i really didn't believe he had this camera from the samples he sent me, except for the EXIF info saying it was a Leaf), before he decided the AFD/Leaf wasn't for him and let me have it. Adding the RZ kit was even less painful on the wallet. But don't feel bad for him, he said he was getting the S2.
Nah, not if you shop around for used... and avoid the most exotics such as 110/2, shift lens etc...At least in Hong Kong that is way too much for a AFi-II 10, sure is worth to shop around and negotiate ask...
Erik, in Hong Kong there is only one good place to buy good condition used at low prices: Ebay.com. Local market is in general too high price and condition not good. Also selling is Ebay. Advantage is quick EMS and no import duties.
Hello,I am fortunate to have a complete Mamiya RZ/Leaf Aptus 75 kit and a Nikon D3x/D800E system both of which you would have to price from my cold dead hands.The great thing about the RZ is they are built like tanks and the lenses are so cheap, hell I just bought a immaculate Mamiya RZ 150mm lens on EBay for $269.00 US and didnt even need it. CheersSimon

Environmental Studies
Program Information
Professors: Girdler, Hussen (Co-Directors)
The concentration in environmental studies is based upon the recognition that environmental and resource problems are not just biological, geological, economic, or political. Therefore, the concentration is structured as an interdisciplinary study by selecting appropriate courses from the natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities, in order to pool knowledge from across traditional disciplinary lines. This information is essential for an interdisciplinary assessment, analysis, and evaluation of environmental problems.

Savoie scrambled into the impromptu bunker after hearing the pops of multiple gunshots and the shouts of an RCMP officer urging him to run home as fast as he could.
"I didn't sleep at all," Savoie said Saturday of how he spent the next 30 hours under lockdown as the RCMP hunted for a suspect who shot five of their colleagues, killing three.
"It made me more comfortable to know that I had that hunting rifle in the house. That was my security system."
One of the officers killed Wednesday was the man who had warned Savoie about the danger.
RCMP officers arrested a suspect on Friday not far from Savoie's house. Justin Bourque, 24, is facing three charges of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in the shootings, which besieged a large section of Moncton.
He appeared in court on Friday to face the allegations and his case was adjourned until next month.
On Saturday, people in the area shared stories about their traumatic experiences and expressed their gratitude to the RCMP for keeping them safe.
Savoie, a banker, said he was so impressed by their work that he signed up to take an RCMP entrance exam at the end of the month.
"This kind of intrigued me a little bit, and some other people actually, to join the RCMP," he said.
A parade and a regimental funeral is be held Tuesday afternoon for the three officers killed in the shootings: Const. Dave Ross, Const. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, and Const. Douglas James Larche.
The force said in a statement that assistant commissioner Francois Bidal will oversee preparations for the funeral, which will follow the parade at the Moncton Coliseum.
Signs of widespread appreciation for the RCMP were visible Saturday in Moncton, where people were invited to sign books of condolences for the fallen officers at city hall.
But the gratitude was particularly prominent in the city's northwestern end where the shootings took place.
Messages of thanks were posted on businesses along the bustling Mountain Road, scrawled on colourful homemade banners outside residences and a few were even drawn in chalk on driveways.
People who live in the area also recognized the Mounties by hopping on their bicycles — en masse.
More than 200 locals, most of whom were children, raced up and down the streets in a bike rally that passed some of the spots where the officers were shot.
Many of the bikes had colourful, handmade signs hanging from the handlebars that featured messages like, "Thank you RCMP" and "Thanks to our officers." The children also planted red and white flowers in a garden as teary-eyed parents looked on.
"We wanted to sort of show people that this isn't a crime scene, it's our home," said Angela Gates, who helped organize the rally with her children.
"This is where we live, this is where our kids play and we just wanted to do something to say our streets are safe again."
At the end of the event, dozens of people lined up to shake the hands of two on-duty RCMP officers guarding one of the crime scenes. Some even gave them hugs.
Across the street, a curb was still stained with blood that hadn't been completely washed off.
Gates said she thanked the officers for their work during the lockdown.
"We felt very safe here," she said. "When we looked out our windows, there were police everywhere in our neighbourhood."
A woman who lives across the street from the scene of one shooting said she was impressed with how officers stood outside her home, guns drawn for hours.
She said she couldn't believe how dedicated they were, particularly after five of their colleagues had been shot.
"I can say that our officers were amazing — amazing," said Diana, who would only give her first name.
"They were scared out of their wits, too, just like the rest of us."
Diana, whose husband, Floyd, witnessed the shooting and saw the suspect, said the whole neighbourhood has been traumatized.
She said she was still trembling Saturday.
"It was scary as hell," she said.
Police continued their work in the area on Saturday.
A few dozen Mounties scoured a ballpark, a wooded area, and a field close to where officers arrested Bourque.
In the field, which runs behind the neighbourhood where Bourque was apprehended Friday, more than 20 officers walked nearly shoulder to shoulder, carefully sifting through the long grass in search of clues.
Police have said Bourque was not armed when he gave himself up to police on the lawn of a home close the field.
Longtime Mailhot Avenue resident Bob Leblanc said the town will overcome these events.
"I feel that the community is strong," he said.
"We'll get through this."
Leblanc said he saw a man carrying a rifle walk right past his house "nonchalantly" and slip between some hedges before the gunshots rang out.
The officer killed near Leblanc's house was the same one who warned Savoie to run away.
Savoie said he was the second-last person the Mountie shouted a directive at before being fatally shot.
The officer's final command, he said, told the shooter to get down.
Moments later, Savoie said he heard what he believes were the fatal blasts.
He's confident people in the community will eventually recover.
"You can only take things one day at a time and you can't assume that this is going to happen twice in a lifetime," Savoie said.
"Obviously, it's still something that's always going to be in the back of your mind."

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker claims that Ohio's overwhelming rejection of anti-labor legislation modeled on the measures he developed and promoted in the Badger State will have no bearing on the debate about whether he should remain in office.
The governor is in full spin mode.
No surprise there. The governor faces the threat of a recall drive that begins at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday — a grass-roots initiative organized by the same sort of labor, farm and community coalition that overturned the Ohio law.
By any measure, last Tuesday's election results from Ohio represented a devastating rejection of the agenda Walker and his allies have been peddling since February. Offered an opportunity to endorse a Walker-style attack on collective bargaining rights for state, county and municipal workers and teachers, Ohioans voted "no" by 61-39 percent.
Of Ohio's 88 counties — with big cities, small towns and rural areas — 82 voted to defend public employees and their unions.
More Ohioans took a pro-union position in 2011 than voted for the governor who promoted the anti-labor legislation, John Kasich, in 2010.
Faced with the facts, Walker's political team claimed that comparisons of Wisconsin and Ohio were "ridiculous." The governor, appearing at a hair-styling school in Green Bay, said of the Ohio results: "I don't think they will have any correlation (here in Wisconsin)."
Funny, that's not what Wisconsin's governor was saying back in February, when he refused to negotiate with unions representing state employees, and when he and his aides tried to lock hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites out of the state Capitol.
Back when he was refusing to talk to state employees and citizens, the governor did take a call that he thought was from billionaire political donor David Koch.
During that call, Walker and Koch spoke at some length about how the fights in Wisconsin and Ohio were the same, and about how Walker was guiding Ohio Gov. Kasich through the process of undermining labor rights and unions.
"I talk to Kasich every day — John's gotta stand firm in Ohio," Walker told the caller he thought was David Koch.
Walker said that Kasich was one of the new Republican governors who, like the Wisconsinite, "got elected to do something big."
"You're the first domino," the Koch caller said of Walker's anti-labor push in Wisconsin.
"Yes," replied Walker. "This is our moment."
Throughout the conversation, Walker portrayed himself as the quarterback of a national push to cut pay and benefits for teachers and other public workers, and to crush unions. And he suggested that Kasich was on his team, carrying out the same mission in Ohio that Walker has undertaken in Wisconsin.
"Little did I know how big it would be nationally," Walker chirped. "This is our time to change the course of history."
It is true that this is a "change the course of history" moment. Ohio started the change with the referendum vote. Wisconsin will take it the next step with the recall.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it sent warning letters to more than 1,200 retailers, most involving selling tobacco to minors.
Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA, said most retailers inspected by the FDA were in compliance with the law, but some are still selling cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to minors. Warning letters may be followed by civil money penalties if retailers continue to violate the law, Hamburg said.
"It should worry every parent that 20 percent of U.S. high school students smoke cigarettes," Hamburg said in a statement. "President Obama and the FDA are committed to preventing children from smoking. For many young people, that first cigarette or use of smokeless tobacco will lead to a lifetime of addiction, and for many, serious disease. More than 80 percent of adult smokers begin smoking before 18 years of age."
As of today, FDA-commissioned officials have conducted more than 27,500 compliance checks, Hamburg said.
Retail inspections focus on sale and distribution restrictions, including:
-- Age and ID verification.
-- Requirements for labeling and advertising of smokeless tobacco products.
-- Restrictions on the sale of single cigarettes.
-- A ban on certain candy and fruit-flavored cigarettes.
-- Prohibited self-service displays and vending machines.
In 2009, President Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act that gives the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products to prevent use by minors and other tools to prevent smoking such as graphic warning labels.

Asus Zenbook UX21 teardown
In late 2011, Asus launched their Zenbook series of Ultrabooks. These super-thin notebooks, offer more processing power than netbooks, but weigh less than traditional laptops.
They are designed to be a Windows alternative to Apple's MacBook Air. Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Acer, Asus, and Toshiba are all jumping on the Ultrabook bandwagon (thanks in part to a significant push from Intel).
As of this writing, the Zenbook is available in 11-inch (UX21) and 13-inch (UX31) models and a variety of hardware configurations. Follow along as I crack open the 11-inch Asus Zenbook UX21.
For a detailed analysis of the teardown, check out my article and video, Zenbook teardown: Blatant copy of MacBook Air.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Mikel Leshoure ran for three touchdowns, Calvin Johnson got involved early and the Detroit Lions turned in their most complete victory of the season, 31-14 over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Detroit dominated from start to finish, building a three-score lead before halftime and coasting after the break. It was a much different feeling for the Lions (4-4), who trailed in the second half in each of their other wins.
Leshoure finished with 70 yards rushing and scored on runs of 7, 1 and 8 yards, becoming the first in franchise history to run for three touchdowns in the first half. Not even Hall of Famer Barry Sanders accomplished that feat.
Johnson, who got off to slow starts in Detroit's last three games, had five receptions for 99 yards before the Jaguars (1-7) even recorded a first down. He finished with seven catches for 129 yards despite playing through a knee injury.

One of the most requested features for Netflix for iPhone and iPad is the "Just for Kids" section that's available on most other platforms -- and now it's finally here on the iPad! Even better, you don't have to do anything to get it. Netflix pushed a backend update and now you should see a "Just for Kids" button at the top left of the screen next to the Browse button. Unfortunately, Just for Kids is only available on the new iPad and the iPad 2, although Netflix has promised that the first generation iPad should receive support soon. No word yet on Netflix for iPhone.
The Just for Kids section of Netflix is filled with movies and TV shows suitable for children ages 12 and under. It's great for parents because it gives the peace of mind that your child won't accidentally stumble across something inappropriate, and it's great for kids because it's easy for them to find something they like. Keep in mind, however, that there isn't a way to lock your kids into Just for Kids, so adult supervision may still be required.
How many parents out there are excited about Just for Kids for Netflix on the iPad?

We're all in this together. Whether you believe that pollution and global warming are serious issues, I think we're all in agreement that waste is unnecessary and can be avoided. Here are ways that you can cut your carbon footprint by reducing waste and doing something great for you and your environment.
1. Turn off appliances and electronics that are not in use.
You may not have really thought about it before, but unless you're using a smart charger strip or you've turned off the outlet at the wall, your chargers or plugged in appliances are using energy. So called "vampire power" equates to around 5-10% of residential energy use. Coffee makers, washing machines, dishwashers, TVs on standby...these can all be unplugged or turned off at the socket. You might not cut your energy bills in half doing this, but collectively it's a big deal, and very easy to implement.
2. Compost
Think that throwing food scraps in the bin isn't such a big deal? Did you know that around 40% of what goes into landfill is compostable material? That's huge! Rather than having those valuable scraps rot in a landfill, why not prepare them to go back into the soil to make it rich with nutrients for growing all things green? You're also helping bees and wildlife as compost is a great natural fertiliser that doesn't contain chemicals that can be harmful to wildlife and get into our water. Get started here: http://www.homecomposting.org.uk/home-composting-mainmenu-26
3. Try Meat-Free Monday!
According to many sources, cutting down on meat consumption is one of the most effective ways to cut your carbon and do something good for the planet. According to www.earthday.org if you:
- Ate one less burger a week, it would be the equivalent of taking your car off the road for 320 miles.
- Skip meat and cheese one day a week with your family, it would be the equivalent of taking your car off the road for five weeks – or reducing everyone's daily showers by 3 minutes.
- Skip steak once a week with your family, it would be the equivalent of taking your car off the road for nearly three months.
4. Walk, Cycle or Take Public Transport
Not only can cars can be a really slow way to get to work, but we worry about them constantly. The cost of owning one, theft, damage, rising fuel prices. Sharing a car with some friends, using a car club, or just giving being carless a try are great ways to reduce your carbon footprint. The best part is, you can save thousands of pounds per year! Here's a story about Anne who works here at BetterPoints who decided to give up her car. Why I Scoot the Commute.
5. Drink Tap Water from a Re-useable Bottle Every Day
According to researchers at The Environmental Technology Centre at the University of Nottingham, people in the UK consume over 3 billion litres of bottled water each year, which can cost up to 500 times more than tap water. Some of these bottles can contain dangerous chemicals that leech into the water and only around 1 out of three in the UK are making it into the recycle bin.

Going Green
Posted By materialgirls | Jan 22, 2013 | 5 Comments | Category: Uncategorized
As I begin to shop and scheme for a new client I have to keep in mind her mention and love for the color green. It just so happens that emerald green is Pantone's color of the year, so lucky for me, there's some inspiration out there. I've always loved green — it's a color that surrounds us and makes our gardens, lawns and forests as pretty as they are. It's refreshing and relaxing which is why I can't wait to get started and create a wonderful space for my client using green. Take a look at some inspiration I've found while cruising the web:
love the black and whites against the emerald green walls
i love this bold leopard carpet against the emerald green built-ins
a lovely green chinoiserie
a splash of emerald green curtains
inspiration and colors can come from anywhere – if you like it on a door you'll like it on your walls
mix your greens!
nothing better than a tufted sofa with a pleated skirt in emerald green
mixing geometrics with patterns and various greens
playful and bold moments of green!

DAHLONEGA, Ga. --- Matthew Cureton (Waxhaw, N.C.) netted his first collegiate goal in the 11th minute to propel the Lees-McRae College men's soccer team to its third straight win with a 3-0 victory over the University of North Georgia on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference action.
Lees-McRae (3-3) controlled the run of play for much of the match, outshooting North Georgia (1-7) by a 15-9 margin, including a 7-3 advantage in the first half. The Bobcats also held a 5-4 edge in corner attempts, as the teams combined for just 14 fouls and one caution.
Cureton paced the Bobcats with his first career match-winner, as Jordan Wright (West Lothian, Scotland) added an assist to go along with his third goal in the last two matches. Yago Xavier (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) tacked on his second strike of the season. Thomas Rusling (Sheffield, England) made one save to keep his second clean sheet of the campaign, and 16th of his career. Cureton and Wright each put three shots on frame.
Carlos Reyes led the way for North Georgia with two shots, one on frame, as Kris Alonzo made seven saves between the pipes.
The Bobcats got off to a flying start in the 11th minute, when Wright found Cureton with a perfectly placed cross for the finish and a 1-0 lead. Wright doubled the advantage less than a minute later, netting his third of the season with a free kick from 25 yards out. Xavier would cap the scoring early in the 32nd minute with a textbook penalty.
Wright nearly netted the double on two separate occasions in the 74th and 85th minutes, forcing a pair of saves from Alonzo as the Bobcats outshot the Nighthawks by an 8-6 margin in the final 45 minutes.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Saturday when the Bobcats resume their Conference Carolinas slate against North Greenville University at 5 p.m. on Tate Field.
