Pro Speaker U
Pro Speaker U —
The go-to site for speaking professionals!
"Do I need Pro Speaker U?"
If you've ever considered making a living as a professional speaker (or if you're already an experienced speaking pro), there's no doubt that you will benefit from Pro Speaker U!
(If you're not yet certain if pro speaking is right for you, then take this little 10-question quiz, or watch this 2-minute video.)
"What will Pro Speaker U do for me?"
Pro Speaker U serves professional speakers in two essential ways — career guidance and promotional opportunities.
Just for Fun!
Since pro speaking excites you, you should try:
- Do you have what it takes to be a pro? Try PSU's Quick Assessment Tool!
- Do you already know about pro speaking? Try this little "Do You Know the Score?" Quiz!
- You should certainly check out "Why Pro Speaking is a Great Career!"
- If you wonder how you'll make your dream come true, there's "How Can Pro Speaker U Help Me?".
- Finally, you're welcome to browse the Library's Table of Contents or even check out some actual modules — free!
Here's the bottom line — if you're satisfied with just being a public speaker, you don't need all the benefits that Pro Speaker U provides.
But if you're a professional who's paid to speak (or if that's your dream), you owe it to yourself to invest in your career!
Don't wait —
Join PSU today!
The heart of PSU's career guidance is The Library, composed of over 200 information-packed modules exploring important issues like:
Why should you always use a speaker's contract, even for non-paid speeches? (If you don't do this, your "free" speech can end up costing you a lot of money!) What about an Agreement to Video Record – Archival? (Protect your reputation! Adding one simple phrase to your contract can save you from years of Internet humiliation!) What item does a standard Video Recording Agreement typically not cover... and leaves you vulnerable to being ripped off? (Adding a few simple words to your agreement can save you thousands of dollars!)
The Library contains over a dozen fully-customizable speakers' contracts, each one created specifically to meet the needs of speaking pros like you!
How much should you charge for your speeches and products? (There's nothing worse than charging too little... except, of course, for charging too much!) Should you ever negotiate your fee? Do you know how to calculate your actual costs of developing a keynote or training program? (If you don't, you could easily "succeed" yourself into bankruptcy.)
Sad but true — you can't copyright book titles. So how can you protect the title of your book without copyrighting it? (It's sneaky, but all best-selling authors know this little trick!)
Of your book, your speech, your brochure, and your business card, which one can you not copyright? (You might be shocked at this one!)
Why is it crucial to use a PPQ (Pre-Program Questionnaire) before every speech? (You do have a PPQ, don't you? What's the most important question in your PPQ?)
As you can see, The Library is chock-full of savvy career guidance that's essential to your career success! (To explore The Library further, you can sample a few actual modules, or peruse the complete Library's Table of Contents.)
The Library is valuable for pro speakers at all levels of their careers:
Aspiring and beginning speakers understand the importance of owning a road map to success — knowing what to do and when to do it. And The Library is stuffed with suggestions, warnings, tips, and guidance, all designed to help you succeed in this challenging — but very rewarding — industry.
Of course, veteran speaking professionals already recognize that the speaking industry is changing more rapidly than ever, and the only way to thrive is to continually re-educate yourself! The materials in The Library are constantly being expanded and updated so PSU members can stay on top of the latest changes in this chaotic industry!
"Is that everything I need?"
Career guidance is only part of what you need. The biggest bugaboo facing all professional speakers — from beginners to experienced pros — is the challenge of marketing and promotion. The sad truth is, you can have the greatest speech, product, or service in existence... and if nobody knows about it, you'll starve.
That's why Pro Speaker U also provides you with a powerful marketing capability through its exclusive association with Finders Speakers, the site where event planners come to find the speakers they need. Your PSU membership comes with a free full-page, customizable listing in Finders Speakers, so meeting planners can find — and hire — you!
"Is all this expensive? (Please tell me it's not!)"
There's the big question: How much does all this cost? Since Pro Speaker U uses a budget-friendly pay-as-you-go system (with no long-term commitments), you get everything described above — unlimited access to all the resources in the PSU Library and a fully-customizable web page to market yourself in Finders Speakers — for an entire month for only $19. (It's even cheaper if you sign up for 3 or more months at a time, but you don't have to — signing up for a single month is just fine, and it may be long enough for your needs. You decide!)
(Here's an option that might interest you — If one full-page listing in Finders Speakers is not sufficient for your marketing needs, you can choose the Premium package instead and receive all the benefits of the Standard package plus four additional PromoPages for only $5 more. Now frankly, most beginning speakers don't need this, but for established speakers with multiple keynotes or who already have product to sell, the Premium package is an incredible bargain!)
"OK, I'm ready! How do I get started?"
When you're ready to move your speaking career to new heights, it takes less than 5 minutes to join Pro Speaker U. Then you can immediately delve into the valuable guidance in the Library and create your own PromoPage(s) to promote your speeches, products, and services!
So what are you waiting for? Join PSU right now and start turning your dreams into reality!
I look forward to our adventure together!

Khaled Mashal, leader of the Palestinian group Hamas, described Israel as the aggressor in the bloody conflict between it and Hamas, and called on Israel to stop attacking Palestinians in the Gaza region.
There may be or may not be an agreement, but that is up to Israel. There are efforts by Qatar and Egypt, we are meeting with them every day. But we will not accept any Israeli conditions. If they want a ceasefire, let them stop attacking us. The one who started the violence should end it.
Mashal also said that Israel had asked Hamas for a cease fire, saying that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Netanyahu asked for calm and not us." Mashal's view is that Israel can have a cease fire if it ceases firing missiles into Gaza.
Egypt has led peace talks in recent days. It will be the job of diplomats to move the conversation away from who started the conflict and towards how to end it.

This Longo's recipe (paired originally with a Thai-spiced pork roast) shows you how easy it is to take two ordinary veggies, cut them in an unusual way, and create something special.
Cucumber & Carrot Ribbons
1/2 English cucumber (don't peel)
1 large carrot, trimmed, peeled
1 tbsp (15 mL) each: chopped cilantro, chopped mint
2 tbsp (30 mL) seasoned or unseasoned rice vinegar
Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber into long strips. Place in large bowl. Repeat with carrot. Add cilantro, mint and vinegar. Toss well.
Makes about 4 cups (1L) for 4 side servings.

The atomic submarine Dolphin has impossible orders: to sail beneath the ice-floes of the Arctic Ocean to locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle.
But the orders do not say what the Dolphin will find if she succeeds – that the fire at Ice Station Zebra was sabotage, and that one of the survivors is a killer….

My Mistake - Abridged
- Kevin der Kinderen
Son of a B#*&^!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION.
Abridged? Really in this day and age the only listing I could find turned out to be an abridged version, which I did not realise until AFTER I had purchased. Honestly abridged audiobooks should be a separate section that has 75 pop up warnings before you can enter it (maybe 76 just to be sure)
It was ABRIDGED, I only got half the story, less than half in fact, less than half the action, less than half the intrigue. The only valid reason to listen to a 2 hour abridged version of anything is if I was on my death bed with less than 3 hours to live and REALLY wanted to hear that story before I croaked.
The narration was fine, but there was not enough of it, you know why? Because it was an ABRIDGED version.
This version of the story had been cut so much it died on the operating table from loss of blood. It needed more not less.
I have never been unhappy with an Audible purchase until now; this should not have happened, I trusted the service too much and did not realise that crappy abridged version lived in the happy world of full unabridged audio I have come to know and love. Yeah I should have read more carefully but I did not because I had come to trust the service did not have these monstrosities in it's library.

I dont think anybody would be a big fan if they dont take the time to listen to whole albums, and even then I can get why people dont like them.

CUCM Locales
If I install various locales including English, French and German I cannot search for French and German users from an English locale.
If I configure a German User Hans Böttcher, this is not searchable from an English Locale. Strangely German and French locales contain each others accents. Is there any fix to this or way around this
Many Thanks

I am running EX07 and when users log into OWA and try to compose or reply to an email the address book that is the default is the Company distribution list called "ILM Departments" I have another "Address List" that I would prefer be the GAL called All Users.
I just want it easier for my end users to use OWA to email each to each other with out having to "figure out" which address book to use.
How can I make the All Users......Address List into a GAL and then make it the default one listed when using the address book with OWA?
Sep 27, 2010 at 1:17 UTC
This looks promising:
8 Replies
Sep 27, 2010 at 1:05 UTC
I know in Outlook you can change your default address book, but with OWA, not sure of any way to change it to a personal contact list. This sounds like a server setting, but I'm not sure how you would do it if it is even possible.
Sep 27, 2010 at 1:12 UTC
Yes i believe it is a server setting and I cant seem to find where it would make that list the default for all who use OWA... and I am still an extreme newbie with powershell.
Sep 27, 2010 at 1:18 UTC
Make Distributions lists and that will be accessible to both client and OWA users.
We create lists by district and add the according people to the list accordingly.
To make a address list in Exchange Management Console
Open Organization Configuration -> Mailbox -> Address Lists
And you can create custom address lists accessible by both client and OWA.
Now the address lists will only give a list of the people that you create for the list if you want a click able group easy for them to just click and send then make distribution lists.
Sep 28, 2010 at 9:12 UTC
I have Dist-lists and those are what shows up as default when using OWA. I'd like to have the ALL USERS list be the default...
This came about because Executives don't like having to drill down to find the ALL USERS to be able to pick one or two people and want that list to be the default
Sep 28, 2010 at 9:34 UTC
Okay take a look at the following.
In Exchange Management Console
Under Organization Configuration -> Mailbox -> Offline Address Book
Select the properties on the Global Address list.
Under the Address lists tab.
I have the Include the default Global Address list and Include the following address lists check with "All Contacts" for the address lists.
Does that help any? Or the right path maybe?
Sep 28, 2010 at 9:47 UTC
I think you are on the right track TM-IT... this is what i have in under address list showing
Name Container Type
All Contacts \ Address list
All groups \ Address ist
All Rooms \ Address list
All Users \ Address list
Default Global Add \ Global Address List
ILM Departments \ Global Address list
Public Folders \ Address list
I think it must be a powershell thing to get the All Users to change from address list to Global address list .
also for all th efolders the Global address list in included in the properties
Sep 28, 2010 at 10:04 UTC
So what I understand it is defaulting to the distribution lists?
Can you attached a picture of what the default is so we can have a visual of what you are seeing.
Because I have just All Contacts address in the container. But I can select the other address lists if need be.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

- Description
From the piste to the powder, The Kästle FX84 is an all-around, adaptable ski for the first chair, last lap crowd.
An 84mm waist gives the FX84 outstanding handling characteristics, being narrow enough for the piste and wide enough to explore beyond the groomers. In comparison with a classic terrain ski of comparable length, the running surface is approximately 30 % longer. The single radius masters changing conditions and difficult circumstances, while the harmonious sidecut enables a smooth and exceptional ride. Poplar (0.4 kg/dm³), silver fir (~0.55 kg/dm³) and ash wood (~0.7 kg/dm³) are combined for the wood core, providing the ski with a very low weight. The core construction has been bonded in one block. A 45° aluminium bevel at the surface of the ski distributes impacts and protects against wear.
By using a titanal base and top sheet of 0.3 mm each, which is unusual in ski construction, a very high stability could be achieved while reducing weight. Additionally, this ski is equipped with extremely resistant ABS sidewalls. A further reduction in weight has been achieved with the HOLLOWTECH technology that is not only applied in the shovel zone but also in the tail zone of the FX94. Core construction, sheeting and the Hollowtech technology all result in a very low overall weight of this freeskiing product, leading to high touring performance.

Annie Lennox's daughter in kayaking accident, boyfriend missing
Annie Lennox's daughter's boyfriend is missing following a kayaking accident.
Police are still looking Tali Lennox-Fruchtmann's significant other Ian Jones after the pair's kayak capsized in the Hudson River in New York on Saturday morning (08.08.15).
Tali, 22, was rescued by a passing vessel but investigators have still yet to recover Ian, 32, following the accident at 9.30am local time.
Dutchess County Sheriff's Captain John Watterson told PEOPLE.com: "The current in the Hudson River is very strong and we believe the current played a role in the kayak capsizing, and once the two got in the water it was difficult for them to stay together."
Police say they believe alcohol may have also played a part in the incident.
Tali is one of the legendary Eurythmics singer's daughters with ex-husband, music producer Uri Fruchtmann.
It's thought that neither Tali or her boyfriend were wearing life-preserving jackets during the trip.
Tali was assessed at the scene and was found to be fine. She aided much of the rescue effort which continued until 10pm on Saturday night.
Captain Watterson added: "We're doing everything we can to find him. We hope to find him alive and well."

Time and space aggregation of the labor market flows
I present new empirical evidence on the relationship between the job flows, worker flows, and the time horizon at which these flows are measured. In particular, I show that worker flows grow linearly with the horizon at which they are measured; job flows grow approximately with the square root of the horizon. Further, I show that these patterns hold for all firm size categories separately, and that the magnitude of the job and worker flows decreases with employer's size. To interpret these patterns, I explore simple models of a representative firm which faces employment adjustment costs. I show that such a model can replicate some of the observed patterns. I discuss the implications of presented facts for interpreting the differences in the characteristics of the labor markets in Europe and the U.S.

Zoryan Institute
The Zoryan Institute is an American non-profit organization[1][2] and think tank first established in 1982 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that focuses on genocide, diaspora, and Armenian studies. It sponsors, supports, and encourages multidisciplinary scholarly research and documentation, including conferences and publications.
It comprises two sub-organizations: the Zoryan Institute for Contemporary Research and Documentation, established in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1982, and the Zoryan Institute of Canada, Inc., which was incorporated as a nonprofit research institute in Toronto in 1984.[3]
The Zoryan Institute developed a course entitled "The Genocide and Human Rights University Program" in 2001. The International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (IIGHRS) was assigned as a division of the Zoryan Institute of Canada in December 2003. The Institute entered into a partnership with the University of Minnesota through Dr. Stephen Feinstein, Director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies (CHGS), University of Minnesota. As of 2012, over 275 graduates from at least 25 different countries have completed the program in Minneapolis and Toronto.[2]
Research areas[edit]
The Zoryan Institute is involved in three main areas of research: Genocide studies, diaspora studies, and Armenian studies.

There are some crazy women out there, just as there are some crazy dudes. I don't think women in general are vengeful creatures, but they have LONG memories. If you say something today that contradicts something you said ten years ago, they'll notice and point it out to you.

I am Russell P. From, proprietor, winemaker and waste water specialist at Herman Story Wines.
Herman Story Wines are made, schlepped, peddled, and drunk with friends by me. The basic web design books tell me that you're probably here for the basics: to find release schedules, ordering information and tasting opportunities for the wines I make, which sounds pretty good to me. The less time I spend writing this stuff the more time I spend in the cellar. So here you go, all the facts with none of the filler. An aesthetic I stand by and believe my wines do too.
I release my wines twice a year, in Spring and Fall. The wines listed below were set loose right around mid-March in 2017. Our wine club is currently full. However, if you want to get in on the action and try some of my stuff, you can scroll down and join the MAILING LIST, or come visit me at my Tasting Room in Downtown Paso Robles at
1227 Paso Robles Street, Paso Robles, CA 93446.
It's open Thursday - Monday from 11AM - 5PM and I would love to see your shining face there.

It's got to be that element of Wabi Sabi, that piece that makes Dolly Parton's voice unfit for opera but perfect for tears. This is listening to Jolene on a cassette deck in Joshua Tree. Rare tar, sun warmed blackberry, red-oak grilled cherry, sage smudge, spiced blackberry compote and violin resin. (DRINK NOW: 30 minutes, CELLAR: 4+ years.)

CAMP PENDLETON – Capt. Brian Scott joined the Marine Corps eight years ago to help stop what he calls a threat to the nation.
"I was a gung-ho 20-something and I wanted to change the world," said Scott, of Cypress. "I had a desire to be at the tip of the spear."
As an air traffic control officer, Scott served in Japan for three years. Now, he's going to Afghanistan for a year.
As the U.S. pullout continues, Scott's job will be planning how thousands of Marines and a huge amount of equipment, infrastructure and vehicles used for the fight against the Taliban will be brought home.
Before dawn Monday, Scott was among 140 Marines leaving Camp Pendleton for Camp Leatherneck and Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The departure marked the first wave of the Marine Corps' last combat deployment in support of the more than 12-year campaign called Operation Enduring Freedom. The members of Camp Pendleton's 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) are led by Brig. Gen. Daniel Yoo, the Marine Corps' first Korean American general. The Marines will oversee the Afghan elections in April and then work on a plan to leave the country.
Scott, 32, follows tens of thousands of Marines who fought with the 1st and 2nd Marine Expeditionary Forces and secured the forbidding terrain of Afghanistan's Helmand province, one of the world's largest opium-producing regions.
In 2010, Marines from the 1st Expeditionary Force went to Afghanistan and directed counterinsurgency operations targeting Taliban and al-Qaida forces in some of the most war-torn areas.
That year, Lt. Col. Jason Morris led the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, a unit of the 1st Expeditionary Force, into Sangin, a town in Helmand province. During the seven-month deployment, 25 Marines and five members of the international coalition force died. The battalion suffered the highest number of casualties of any Marine unit in the war in Afghanistan.
By early spring, an estimated 4,600 newly deployed Marines and sailors will be taking over tasks in the Helmand and Nimruz provinces from 8,000 troops from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force and coalition forces. That's down from a high of 19,000 in 2011. The 2 MEF – based at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C. – will be transitioning out as more deployments from Camp Pendleton go to Afghanistan. The Marines will work with British forces.
Lt. Gen. John Toolan, commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, cautioned his departing Marines on Monday about the dangers in Afghanistan. He reminded them to never give up responsibility for their own security, despite the fact that Afghans are now leading security patrols.
"Stay vigilant – always keep a guardian angel with you to watch your back," said Toolan, who led the fight in Afghanistan during the height of the troop surge in 2011.
Connie Werner, Scott's mother, said she was surprised when Scott, whom she describes as a laid-back surfer kind of guy, decided to join the Marine Corps. At first, she didn't take him seriously. But his desire to make a contribution to the country won her over.
"He's a man of integrity and purpose," she said. "I hope he gets to come back from this."
Scott had been scheduled to leave Sunday morning. But when he and his wife of seven years, Sheramy, showed up at the base, they were told plans had changed.
Werner had taken the Scotts' two young daughters back to Cypress on Saturday so the couple could spend some time alone. After the deployment was delayed a day, the Scotts went to church and spent the afternoon in Temecula with their miniature dachshund.
"Marriage is a team, and we each have a role," said Sheramy Scott, who has a master's degree in psychology. "His most important role is that he makes me better."
She said the two have been lucky they haven't been separated this long before. Brian Scott's deployment to Japan meant the family could go together. Their second daughter was born there. They returned from Japan in May.
"It's a big relief to hand it over to God," Sheramy Scott said. "If he's meant to come home safely, he will. If not, God will give us the strength to deal with that, too."

Throughout its history, South County Hospital has benefited from the generosity of many friends who have provided support through their bequests and other forms of planned or deferred gifts. Planned gift arrangements offer "win-win" structures that help you provide for the Hospital while advancing your own financial and personal objectives.What is Planned Giving?
A planned or deferred gift is a type of charitable gift that requires some planning, usually with the assistance of a financial advisor and development officer. A donor may fund his or her gift with cash or other assets. When you create a planned gift, you potentially increase your income, reduce taxes, avoid capital gains tax, pass assets to family at a reduced tax cost, and make a substantial donation to a charity. Planned gifts include bequests, trusts, real estate, charitable gift annuities, and retirement assets.
Benefits of Planned Gifts:
Including South County Hospital in your will or trust is one of the simplest ways to support continued excellence in healthcare after your lifetime. A bequest can be structured to suit your family needs, such as providing income for a loved one, before it is distributed to South County Hospital.
The value of your charitable bequest is deductible for estate tax purposes and may offer significant tax savings, depending on the size of your estate.
Language for General Purpose Unrestricted Bequest:
I give and bequeath to South County Health, a Rhode Island corporation,
the sum of $__________
(or) the following described property__________
(or)__________ % of my estate
(or) the residue of my estate
Federal Tax # 05-0445136
South County Hospital is happy to work with donors and their legal advisors on the phrasing of a specific bequest or creating a named fund through a bequest. If you would like additionally information regarding bequests, please contact Claudia Swain, Vice President of Development, at 401 788-1608 or email@example.com.
A gift annuity is an agreement between an individual and South County Hospital. The donor transfers assets, cash, appreciated securities or other property, and receives a guaranteed fixed income for life, or the life of a loved one. The rate of return is determined by your age(s) at the time the gift is made. Charitable gift annuities offer the security of an income, as well as tax benefits since part of the transfer is treated as a gift.
Benefits include:
If you would like additional information regarding Charitable Gift Annuities, please contact Claudia Swain, Vice President of Development, at 401 788-1608 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many individuals have life policies that can be used to benefit charities when the insured dies or in some cases, during the insured's lifetime. Life insurance can be used to benefit charities in two primary ways:
Name South County Hospital as a primary beneficiary or as a contingent beneficiary. Changing your beneficiaries is easy. Simply contact your insurance carrier and request a beneficiary form.:
Policy owner can irrevocably assign the ownership and beneficiary designation to the South County Hospital, guaranteeing that the death benefit will pass to the charity. If the policy has cash value, the Hospital would have the option of either holding until the maturity date or surrendering and receiving the policy's present cash value.
We like to honor donors who include South County Hospital in their estate plans with induction into The Flagship Society. The Society was established in 1994. If you have made a planned gift to South County Hospital, please let us know so that we can thank you.
For more information about planned giving, contact Claudia Swain, Vice President of Development, at 401 788-1608 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
First hospital in N.E. to achieve Pathway designation

Because it's been about a week since I railed against them. And you've gotta keep those people on their toes, right?
Because it's been about a week since I railed against them. And you've gotta keep those people on their toes, right?
UPDATE (1PM ET): I'd like to send out a special welcome to all of the PA State government folks who, according to my site stats, have been reading this post. The wine world wants to know your viewpoints on these topics, so please shout 'em out in the comments section of this post if you're inclined.
I suppose by now it's no secret that I can't stand the archaic, and probably unconstitutional three-tier monopoly wine distribution system still in effect in some states, including my hometown in the "Communistwealth" of Pennsylvania. The lucky numbers of you out there in blogosphere-land that are allowed to purchase the wine of your choosing, for a fair price, and have it shipped directly to your doorstep don't really know the suffering that we unlucky hordes in PA have to deal with when shopping for wine.
Most readers will remember the board game Monopoly, in which players compete to take control of the highest amount of properties and services that they can, resulting in fees so high that the other players go bankrupt trying to pay them. States that operate under a monopoly of wine sales and distribution (like PA) are kind of doing the same thing, but in real life.
These stats should be abiding by the decisions of the Supreme Court and open up their borders to competition from wineries and direct shippers. The trouble is, the State monopolies have a crap business model, and they'd get handed their own jock straps in a fair capitalist marketplace. So instead, they are willing to go to extremes to protect their monopoly position.
Let the Dude enlighten you by way of an example…
"The Direct Wine Shipper will have a shipping charge, and must add a $4.50 handling fee, Pennsylvania's 18% liquor tax, 6% sales tax (and 1% sales tax in Philadelphia & Allegheny counties)."
Following is a rough estimate of what this would cost me, before shipping charges are added:
That's an extra $13.25 out of my pocket. The additional charges constitute nearly a 40% premium above the sales price. At that level of markup, I might as well buy the wine in a restaurant instead of trying to have it shipped to me home. Imagine trying to buy something really pricey to being with, such as a case of Ch. Petrus (at upwards of $700 per bottle) with that kind of markup. Most PA state residents simply wouldn't bother. And neither would the on-line wine sellers – it's just not worth their time, because the state customers are unlikely to view it as a reasonable expenditure. That's a "Lose – Lose" situation. Except for the state of PA, who are winning. At my expense.
The bottom line is that this system does not support real competition or competitive pricing – it amounts to a token gesture to appear to be opening the borders of the state to direct shipping (in this case, "direct" means shipped to a PLCB store, where you then have to go to retrieve it). In reality, all this system does is bolster the existing state monopoly on wine sales and distribution.
And finally, consider also that many high quality wine producers are shunning the State of PA because of state regulations that require them to add PA labels and bar coding to their wines. Why? Well, according to sources quoted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, PA wine labels actually reduce the value of high-end wines because of the state's reputation for poor wine storage, bad customer service, and overall expense of doing business.
In the words of Public Enemy, we've got to Fight the Power!
Here's a little quiz for all of you out there in wine-land. What do you call a government that:
In most circles, the first two points could be considered Communism.
Technically, the later two points aren't Communism, but I'd like to think that most people would at least consider them reprehensible…
Unfortunately, what I've described above is more-or-less what the state of Pennsylvania is doing in its wine trade, which is controlled by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, right here in the good ol' U.S. of A.
Bucking the Law Means Big $$$ for States
Actually, now that I consider it, I haven't been entirely honest with you so far. Since the Federal government ruled that PA's liquor laws banning interstate trade were unconstitutional in 2005, the PLCB has done something. It's made money. Approximately $3 billion dollars in sales (that's Billion, with a "B"), in fact. That is roughly twice the GDP of the country of Liberia.
That's big, big money. In the case of the PLCB, it's record-setting sales money, all achieved while operating what has been determined an unconstitutional system.
This is not just impacting PA wine lovers (& wineries) – similar situations are playing out in other states. The ones who benefit are the middle-men (distributors and state governments). The ones who get the short end of the stick? That's you & me, baby (and the people making our favorite beverages!).
Distributors are – not surprisingly – paying big money to protect this windfall. What is surprising is that those same groups are claiming that money is not the motivator in their efforts to protect the "three tier system" of wine shipping. $3 billion in 2 years, seemingly operating unconstitutionally, and it's not about the money?!?? I don't know how they can even say that with a straight face…
Whether You Know it or Not, You're Being Taken for a Ride
If you live in one of the States that prohibits (or seriously discourages) direct shipping of wine, and you buy wine, then you're getting screwed. Your wine choices are probably limited. You might have little (if any) recourse to purchase the wines that you want. And likely, you're paying too much for the wines that you are able to get.
What You Can Do About It
Big money issues like this one will not go away on their own. They require that wine consumers who want a fair deal – people like you (and me) – fight back:
Any of you that have ever purchased wine in one state and tried to ship it to another will surely appreciate the efforts of Free The Grapes, a grassroots coalition of wine producers, retailers, and consumers that are fighting the sometimes arcane and always anachronistic state laws that prohibit the direct-to-consumer wine sales.
What I've always found especially troubling (and I have it worse than most, as I live in PA where the laws are really prohibitive and the state has a powerful monopoly on all almost wine buying) is that the wine wholesaler industry is so woefully behind the times. Anyone who has ever shopped on Amazon.com should appreciate the power of direct-to-consumer sales. It's not the wave of the future, it's the status quo of the present.
And yet, the state-run and wholesaler industries refuse to adapt their business models, in an effort to protect their profits. I'm not necessarily against protecting a company bottom line, but not when the trade-off is reduced service and choice for the average Joe wine consumer. It's like we're being held hostage – and in PA, they not only restrict the choices of what wine you can buy, they charge you a premium for the inconvenience!
If, like me, you live in a state that trends towards Communism in its wine buying options, you should check out Free the Grapes and use their website to contact your state legislators to let them know how you feel.
Finally – if you are lucky enough to live in one of the more enlightened states that does allow you to purchase wine from wherever you like, I recommend checking out NY Chateau Frank's Celebre Rose (a nice and fun bubbly), as well as the stellar Napa 1999 Pine Ridge Cab Sav (excellent balance overall and a magic dried prune fruit profile).

Itteringham is a picturesque village in Norfolk, with just over 3 miles and 60 or so homes. And in this pretty little town there's a pretty little historic shop that offers local produce and plants, cakes and pies, wines and groceries.
The market, opened in the 1630s, is one of the oldest stores in Britain.In recent years big supermarket chains started to open up in nearby towns, and, as often is the case, that made it tough for the little shop to survive.
But then something happened.The villagers took over the shop.
A Yahoo News story tells the story:
In 1994, Itteringham residents rallied in support of their pretty little historic shop. They got together and raised just over $8,000 to keep the shop from
closing after its owner died.
Then, one by one, local residents came by and offered to help stack shelves, deliver orders, mop the floors. These days, 50 of the town's 120 residents work for free in the shop, Yahoo reports. The free labor saves the shop about $570/week, allowing it to break even and stay open.
"It is such a closely knit village," shop manager Mike Hemsley, 55, tells Yahoo News. "We are all friends."

The Titan Peeler, sold through television infomercials, peels fruits and vegetables. The Titan Peeler uses microblade technology, where the blade has tiny serrations designed to make peeling produce easier. This means the peeler can work on tough butternut squash skin. When you attach the board, the Titan Peeler turns into a mandolin to slice vegetables thinly. The Titan Peeler is extremely sharp, so pay close attention when you're using it.
Basic Titan Peeler Function
Wash your produce and pat it dry. Set the produce on a standard cutting board.
Hold the Titan Peeler firmly with one hand, and hold the end of the fruit or vegetable with the other hand.
Push or pull the Titan Peeler over the produce, away from your hand. Do this slowly because the peeler is sharp.
Turn the produce over. Begin peeling the other side. Repeat the process, until the produce is completely peeled.
Use the garnish feature on the side to cut any bad spots from your produce.
Mandolin Titan Slicer Function
Insert the board through the middle part of the peeler, with the arrow facing the direction of the handle.
Pull the peeler up until the blade is situated in the board notch.

Fun Date Ideas Philadelphia http://www.synergybyjasmine.com
Yoga for couples is a fun adventure into intimacy, play and relaxation and make fun date ideas for those in the Philadelphia area.
The poses are simply a doorway for you both to step deeper into your connection. When you stretch with you partner, your bodies melt each other's tension and tightness. Whether your relationship is new or old, partner yoga will reinvigorate your life and renew your connection.
Partner Yoga is a great way to learn surrender, build trust, and deepen intimacy. Partner Yoga can be practiced by anyone - no previous yoga experience is necessary. Some poses challenge your balance, strength and flexibility, others require your total trust and surrender. Each exercise and breathing technique uses the power of the partner dynamic to achieve more than one person could alone. From creative exercise to profound spiritual work, Partner Yoga delivers a diverse range of benefits to a wide array of people. This well rounded practice requires no special equipment and can be done in any open space (the living room, gym, or park).
For couples who want to explore safe, playful ways of being tender and loving together. You will take turns placing each other in restorative poses and then massaging your partner's hands, feet, neck and face while they simply get to relax and melt. In poses and exercises, partners rely on each other's support to keep correct body alignment, balance, and concentration. In a deeper sense, this physical support fosters deeper feelings of nurture and acceptance. Couples are reminded to respect their own and their partner's limitations of stretching and physical fitness and not push beyond them to the point of discomfort.
When you feel safe and supported you develop the courage to trust others and the strength to confront your fears and embrace your true self. No previous yoga experience is necessary. Beginners and the inflexible are especially welcome. Partner Yoga uses various movements and poses to focus the mind and increase strength, stamina and flexibility which are done in the spirit of nurturing and play. Since yoga is usually such an internally-focused practice, being focused on your significant other is a way to enrich not only your own spirit but your loved one's as well.

In his 14 years with the company prior to becoming ESPN President and Co-Chairman, Disney Media Networks on January 1, 2012, John Skipper was a key architect of ESPN's explosive growth. He played leadership roles overseeing the company's television, digital, print and advertising sales initiatives, as well as ESPN's focus on brand extensions, bringing the company's "best available screen" philosophy to life across more platforms and with more wide-ranging major rights agreements than at any time since ESPN's launch in 1979. This strategy, along with an emphasis on live sports, has strengthened ESPN's unparalleled relationship with fans while meeting the growing business needs of ESPN's distributors and advertisers.
Under his leadership, ESPN has consistently set records for television ratings and digital consumption, and negotiated several wide-ranging, major rights agreements with the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, the BCS, FIFA, the Masters Tournament, the British Open, the USTA, Wimbledon and several college conferences. Each of those agreements was marked by a significant change that took hold under Skipper — a wide swath of multimedia rights that went well beyond just television to include all forms of media, and terms that extended for a much longer period of time, sometimes a decade or more. This change of approach envisioned an evolving media world driven by the marriage of technology with content, and established stability for ESPN and all of its business partners for years to come.

It was an absolute pleasure to take part in the Michigan Sports Business Conference. The panel discussions were engaging and I enjoyed interacting with both students and industry leaders in a University setting. What impressed me most about the conference was that it was entirelystudent produced and organized, yet it had the look and feel of an industry level conference – a true example of the Michigan Difference!
I definitely got a lot of value from attending the MSBC. Gathering with senior sports execs to talk through the issues of the day, engaging with brilliant students and taking in the legendary Michigan warmth and charm together made it a breakthrough experience.
I really enjoyed the entire experience. It was without question the finest student-run conference that I have ever participated in. You guys did a wonderful job with the logistics, the topics and the speakers. It really was quite impressive and resulted in a lot of meaningful dialogue and discussion.
The MSBC is one of the finest sports conferences in America, period. Great content, terrific speakers, first class environment and well-attended. That students organize and stage such an outstanding event makes it even more impressive!
Had a great experience. It is great to catch up with so many alumni that all work in the same business while also rewarding talking to students about our career paths/choices and the future of the business. I highly recommend it to both speakers [who have U-M ties] as well as students in terms of attendance.
I am proud to have been an MSBC Board member since its inception and continue to be impressed by the students who run this organization. Each year they take it to the next level and have established the MSBC as one of the premiere conferences in the industry.
The MSBC is run as well as any conference I have been associated with in my career. They attract a "who's who" of everyone in the sports industry.
I was thrilled to be invited and to be part of the MSBC. The student leaders put together a smart and innovative agenda, touching various facets of the sports business industry. I look forward to future conferences, and seeing how the students continue to build on the sport business conference's great success.
The MSBC is a truly exceptional conference. The fact that it is put on by undergraduate students is a testament to the caliber of students that come out of U of M. Despite only being two years old, the MSBC executed a flawless run of show, impressive list of speakers and subsequently, has gained recognition throughout the industry.

The Grayson County Middle School gymnasium was filled with vendors and admirers of the uniquely diverse arts and crafts at Art in the Park this past weekend. Due to the rainy weather the area has been experiencing, the Fourth Annual Art in the Park was moved to GCMS.
"We made the decision on Tuesday just a few days before the show. The word got out very quickly and most everyone was happy with the alternative venue," said Rita Stevenson, head of the show's planning committee.
The change in location did not deter the public this weekend, with many coming to support the Grayson County Alliance and to enjoy the music, food, and arts provided for the event.
"There's a lot of support in the community, and a lot of people support the Alliance," Stevenson said.
There was positive feedback from both the public and the vendors. The vendors come from all over the state, including a few local artists in the county. Many were returning from previous years. "Some come back every year and it's like a reunion," Stevenson said.
The artists this year were very unique, according to Stevenson, crediting the event's success to the artists themselves. "It's not the largest art show in the area, but it's unique," Stevenson said.
There were ten award categories this year for artists, as well as a People's Choice Award. The award for the Best in Show was "Your Choice Will Make Your End" from Paula's Originals, made by Paula Haynes from Clarkson. The People's Choice award was given to The Artist's Workshop in Leitchfield.
The Artist's Workshop also won in the category for Jewelry. Other awards were given to Lady Alyssa Designs in the Textile/Fabric (wearable) category, Bradley Cox for Sculpture/Metal, Mulligan Pottery for the Pottery category, Fred Aspin for Upcycling, J & L Glassworks in the Glass/Stained section, S and S Wood in the Wood/Basketry category, Barry Thomas Photography for Photography, Jeannie Kittinger for Painting/Drawing, Talotam Hallow in Mixed Media, and Best New Artist was awarded to Loose Change.
The student's art portion also had success. In the elementary school category, first place was given to third-grader Scout Cannon from Caneyville Elementary for "Fancy Zebra," second place was given to fifth-grader Lillie Payne from the Leitchfield Christian Academy for "Ricky the Rhino," and third place was fourth-grader Allie Franich from Wilkey Elementary for "Folk Art Guitar." In the middle school category, eighth-grader Ethan Pierce won first place for "Spider," eight-grader Grace Bernhard won second place for "Fishing in the Dark," and sixth-grader Ava St. Clair won third place for "Cats." In the high school category, Junior Kayla Dodd won first place for "Untitled," Senior Amy Dolen won second place for "Reliquery," and Senior Gabrielle Thornton won third place for "Cool Orchid."
There were children's art activities happening throughout the weekend as well. The highlight of these activities was the Jackson Pollock style splatter painting, which will be displayed in a number of schools over the next few months.
With the success of this show and those of years past, the event's committee is looking forward to another Art in the Park next year.
"We love to do it. We're going to be getting together to plan next year's event this week," Stevenson said.

"Emergency Admission & Surgery"
About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Gateshead NE9 6SX
Posted by Mandy Tellyn
Anything else?
I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I received at the QE recently. From being admitted to the Assessment Unit, admission to Surgery Centre, major sugery, High Dependency Unit and post op care back on Level 2 of the Surgery Centre, I was looked after with such skill, care and compassion. I was kept fully informed at all times and felt confident that I was receiving the best of care. Every member of staff was friendly, respectful and caring from the nurse who met as in the Assessment Unit, the Junior Doc and registrar , the brilliant nursing staff, assistants and trainees in the Surgery Centre, the fabulous anaesthetist and team just before surgery, the brilliant consultant and the exceptional care in the High Dependency Unit. It was a very difficult week for my family but it was made a lot easier thanks to the support of the QE team. I face an onward battle with chemo starting soon but I know that I have every confidence that I will be well looked after. I know that the NHS faces many challenges and there are areas for improvement locally and nationally but I cannot fault my experience. Thank you all.
Response from Queen Elizabeth Hospital 3 years ago
Thank you so much for letting us know of your experience at the QE, we have passed on your comments to the areas involved. We aspire to make sure that each and everyone of our patients in 2014 receive the highest standard of care and ut is sincerely hoped that your chemotherapy is successful and creates minimal upset to you and your family. Our best wishes and thanks once again - Keith Godfrey, Medical Director

The saga continues…in the story of Toke Makinwa and her estranged husband Maje Ayida who she is about to divorce.
On Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Maje Ayida's longtime mistressAnita Solomon shared photos of her one year old son. She did this two weeks ago but it's a tag in her caption that has caught the attention of everybody.
In the caption Anita Solomon used the hashtag #singlemom which kind of raises eyebrows.
"The gift of motherhood is every moment to Cherish. Though I'm not worthy, but I'm thankful. I love you bambi, you are such a blessing to me, and you make mama proud! #micah #myheart #mypride #myjoy #mymostpreciousgift #blessed #growandshine #toddler #lovemyson #godsgift #mummysprince #singlemom motherhood," she captioned the post" Anita Solomon captioned the post.
Hmmm…When Maje Ayida left Toke Makinwa to be with the mother of his child last year we all thought it would end up in a union. If that hashtag is anything to go by then those plans have ended up in smoke.
Anita Solomon's post two weeks ago did not even have any trace of Maje Ayida's presence. "Happy Birthday Micah, my sweet boy! You are blessed and highly favoured. You will always bring joy to the hearts of many, and you will serve God and give Him Glory. I love you so much and I can't imagine a life without you, and I am blessed to have you! May God's grace abound in your life and may his spirit guide your path through this life always. Words can't express how proud I am of being your mom today. I love you – always and forever!" Not even a "and daddy loves you also" line made it into the caption.
Even Tiwa Savage with all her marriage troubles still wrote "You are my reason for everything … Dada and Mama love you so much" when she celebrated her son Jamil as he turned one.
Maje Ayida's Instagram does not feature his new son's photo which is rather strange for a man who used to put up Toke Makinwa's photos regularly. Maybe he does not want to grab headlines when he shares a photo of his son.
It seems the intended paradise didn't turn out to be paradise at the end of the day. While the cookie crumbles (or stays intact) the winner in all of this is Toke Makinwa.
The media celebrity is still slaying and lining up projects without much fuss or drama. For months she has been hinting that she has been working on something big that will soon be out.
As the story of her and Maje Ayida takes on a new shape- Toke Makinwa is still maintaining her upbeat and confident stride.

Five Wedding Cake Ideas for Your Special Day
July 21, 2010
All eyes are on the bride during most wedding ceremonies, but after the guests have relocated to the reception area the first thing that everyone wants to do is check out the cake! Wedding cakes aren't a new tradition; they've actually been an important aspect of wedding celebrations since the days of the Roman Empire. Times have changed, of course, and wedding cakes are much more elaborate today than they ever were back in Roman times, but they remain a focal point of wedding festivities.
Most couples have dozens—if not hundreds—of decisions to make when planning their wedding and reception. The bride's biggest hurdle is usually the task of finding the perfect wedding gown, but once she's located her dream dress it's time to think about the cake! Wedding cakes can be simple or complex, chocolate or vanilla, big or small—the choices are almost endless, but here are some popular cake trends and wedding cake ideas that will come in handy as you decide on your ideal cake.
Fondant Wedding Cakes
Fondant, a confection that's used as a filling or coating for pastries, candies, and other sweets, is a popular alternative to the traditional buttercream icing that's often used to frost wedding cakes. Fondant has an almost dough-light consistency which allows it to be rolled out and used to cover a cake.
Thanks in part to reality television shows that profile bakeries; rolled fondant has experienced a recent surge in popularity. Fondant gives wedding cakes a sophisticated, elegant appearance, and it's able to be decorated in multiple ways. Some bakeries and decorators are extremely talented with fondant, giving you the ability to have a truly unique wedding cake.
Square Wedding Cakes
Beautifully-decorated three tiered cakes that consist of round layers remain a traditional favorite of many brides, but square cakes have also made their way into the wedding limelight. Square wedding cakes can consist of layers—or tiers—that sit directly on top of one another, but they're often placed on cake stands which separate each layer from one another. Not only does a cake stand give the cake a taller appearance, it provides more room for decorations, such as flowers.
Square wedding cakes can be as simple or as intricate as you desire because they can also be decorated in so many different ways. Rolled fondant is always an option with a square cake, as is buttercream icing in multiple colors. A square wedding cake can be one solid flavor, but some couples prefer to offer variety to their wedding guests and select a different type of cake for each tier.
Wedding Cupcakes
Wedding cupcakes are a trendy replacement for traditional wedding cakes for quite a few reasons. It's normal for the wedding cake to act as decoration, but cupcake towers are a fun twist on the expected standard. Cupcakes can even be iced in your wedding colors in order to match your bridal party's clothing!
Offering a wide variety of cupcakes at your wedding reception gives your wedding guests the ability to choose their own favorite flavor of cake for dessert. They're also a great choice if there will be children at your reception, and a server won't have to waste time slicing the cake.
Chocolate Wedding Cakes
In the past, chocolate wedding cakes were almost unheard of, but the times are changing and more and more couples are deciding on chocolate wedding cakes. Besides, who says wedding cakes have to be white? Your wedding day is supposed to be your special day, so if you prefer chocolate over vanilla you shouldn't be afraid to have a chocolate wedding cake.
If you'd like to stick with tradition and have a white wedding cake for the sake of your family, you can always have a second smaller cake or a groom's cake that is iced in chocolate.
Fruit Topped Wedding Cakes
Organic fruits and vegetables have become popular in recent years thanks to the "going green" movement, and what better way to eat fruit than on top of a cake? Fruit topped wedding cakes are becoming extremely popular because the fruit itself acts as decoration.
Fresh strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and grapes are good choices when thinking of fruits to use on your wedding cake. The fruit can be placed on each individual cake layer or only on the top—the choice is up to you. If you'd like to incorporate fruit into your cake without altering its appearance, ask your baker about the option of a fruit filling.
