That's what she is. No better words to describe her. She's all sweetness and sexiness. When we walk together along the river all eyes go right to her. They take in her tight rear twitching from side to side, the jaunty angle of her head, her amiable expression, her elegant carriage, her carefully brushed raven hair gleaming softly in the sun.
No one can resist her. Old ladies, young girls, they all look at her. But, above all, she's a guy magnet. Marlys warned me of this the first time she sent us off for a walk together.

In the same way that tenors and sopranos with lovely vocal qualities might not have enough ping in their voices to reach the back of the opera house, sometimes really great opera bloggers' posts go without a sufficient number of readers.
There are plenty of opera bloggers whose sites I've visited who have few or (even more commonly) no comments on their blogs. If these bloggers are anything like me, they've put hours and hours into posts that maybe a handful of people read. How frustrating.
If only there were something bloggers could do, to make us spinto bloggers, to help our blog posts reach the back of the house every time and climb to the top of organic Google rankings.
There is, dear readers and bloggers. There is.
It's called Triberr. The concept is simple: You join a tribe with bloggers you like. Everyone in the tribe (usually 8 0r 9 bloggers max) tweets out everyone else's links. What makes me really like this concept is that not only do you have control over what tribes you join, ensuring that you aren't promoting bloggers you don't want to promote, but you also have the option to moderate the links you tweet out. So, even though it's automation, it's automation with a lot of moderation.
Since I also have a writing blog, I tried for months to get myself invited to a writing tribe–to no avail. I was hanging out on Twitter one night and replied to someone who wanted to be invited to a tribe. Lo and behold, I got an invitation to a great tribe whose followers total 8,000 on Twitter. Now, I have 630 followers on my @Gale_Martin Twitter account. But now that I'm part of a Triberr tribe, my blog posts get Tweeted to 8,000 followers every time. I've tripled hits on my writing blog and increased the number of followers on all my social media sites as a result. It would take me at least seven more years of Tweeting to get to 8,000 followers. I have that large of a reach now for blog posts because of Triberr.
Make no mistake. I blog because I enjoy it. But I sure enjoy blogging a lot more when there are people reading and responding to what I've written.
Now that I've been invited to a tribe, I get to be a chief of my own tribe, which is what I wanted to accomplish all along, since there were no opera/classical music bloggers tribe. So, I started a tribe of Best Opera Bloggers and happily recruited two tribe members in @artlifestiletto and @taminophile. I have about a half a dozen slots left, and for Triberr to really be effective, you need a full tribe.
I'm looking for intelligent, thoughtful bloggers who post about 3-8 times per month. Since I'm the chief, it's my call regarding acceptances. I issued invitations to my Best Bloggers Tribe that sadly have gone unanswered. That means if you have an opera or classical music blog, have a Twitter account, and are interested in being part of my tribe, give me a shout. DM me on Twitter and let me know you are interested in the Best Opera Bloggers tribe. Or leave a request in the comments along with the URL to your blog so I can check you out. And if you become a member of my tribe, you now have the privilege of also starting a new tribe of your own.
I love blogging, knowing I have an audience who appreciates what I do. Thanks to Triberr, I'm a spinto blogger, and I've never felt more loved.

If you want more info on Triberr and how other bloggers feel about it, here's a great article!

As a child I heard my parents talk about how invasive it was that people on welfare in large city tenements had regular visits from their case workers. The tenants would hide their radios, children's toys and anything else that might suggest they were not spending the welfare money on necessities.
I heard that case workers would go so far as to check to see if their were any clothing or shoes that might indicate a man lived there and should be contributing to the income.
The article about restrictions on food stamps (TNT, 6-24) made me think of those conversations. It must be hard enough to explain to children why they can't have the latest toys or electronics, but to now explain they can no longer have a bottle of soda or any candy because they are on welfare will do nothing more than make them feel poorer.
How different is it from the welfare worker who had the right to examine closets and look to see if a man's shoes are under the bed and telling people using food stamps what they can eat? As it is, many sell a portion of their stamps to buy toilet paper, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products and other necessities.
It's wrong according to the laws, but some have no choice. Maybe that's the part of the law that needs to be changed, not what food items they can have.

"Hang" on to your seats, Hang Togetherites. We're going to experience a Great Conjunction this week, as I'm about to propose a unified field theorem that ties together the three lines of discussion that are emerging on HT:
1) Religion and the social order. We have been asking to what extent the idea that every human person has intrinsic dignity is dependent on religion, rather than on the more universal bases of reason and experience. As a larger share of the population goes in for a highly individualizing and subjective Romanticism, Karen is challenging us to think about the role of religious institutions in shaping society.
2) The church and the poor. We have agreed that the church can't wait for the welfare state to get out of the way; it must follow the lead of our Mormon friends and create a superior system of poverty alleviation that runs parallel to the welfare state. In a series of posts, Kyle has been giving us a front line pastor's perspective on what that means.
3) Political theory. In another series of posts, Dan has been laying out his perspective on the most basic ideas underlying the liberal-democratic order, such as free enterprise and rights.
Ready to have your minds blown? Here we go.
As I have already commented over on Karen's post, the rise of Romantic individualism has led to a decline in understanding of the social nature of religion among those who are not Romantic individualists. Rousseau understood very well that the chief danger to his project was not the abstract idea of "Christianity," which could be refashioned through a judicious reinterpretation of its meaning, but the institution of the church. "The Profession of Faith of a Savoyard Vicar" is really aimed not at displacing "Christianity" but at displacing the church. It attacks Christian doctrine, and in that sense it does attack Christianity, but the goal is to change the meaning of "Christianity" to something else rather than to overthrow it and set up "natural religion" in its place. What Rousseau does very much want to overthrow is the church. Hence in the Social Contract a politically controlled "civil religion" replaces the independent church.
The long-delayed spoils of his victory are today's "nones." They are not really in rebellion against Christianity; they don't know enough about it to be in rebellion against it. They mostly believe in God and have what we would recognize as spiritual lives – not Christian ones, but not militantly anti-Christian ones, either.
What they are in rebellion against is institutions. I think numerous people have made this point, but I will quote the ever-valuable Ross Douthat:
The liberal image of a non-churchgoing American is probably the "spiritual but not religious" seeker, or the bright young atheist reading Richard Dawkins. But the typical unchurched American is just as often an underemployed working-class man, whose secularism is less an intellectual choice than a symptom of his disconnection from community in general. [ea]
See Charles Murray's last book for more on this.
Here comes the unified field theorem that will bring about the Great Conjunction. I see two challenges arising from the disconnection of the nones from institutions. The first connects to Kyle's discussion of the church needing a new approach to poverty; the second connects to Dan's discussion of the political ideas necessary to liberal democracy.
The immediate challenge is to the religious freedom of we who practice a social religion. The nones fail to understand that other people's religions – ours, for instance – presuppose institutional embodiment. Our religion cannot be what it is if it is only a matter of personal belief. So the nones disallow the claims of our institutions to be what they are, not out of hostility but out of an inability to grasp that something important is at stake in those claims. They have no frame of reference even to understand the nature of our claim, much less to make that claim plausible.
In the lawsuits over Obamacare, the administration has asserted the theory that a profit-making business or a hospital or a school cannot be said to exist primiarly for a religious purpose or mission. If the courts endorse this claim, Christianity has been made illegal. Christianity cannot be what it is if the total primacy of God's claim on our lives and the mission he has given us in the world is not permitted to achieve institutional expression in all areas of life, rather than simply in churches narrowly defined. This is not to say that all Christians must attend distinctively Christian schools or work in distinctively Christian businesses; far from it. However, if the formation of such institutions is illegal, Christianity is illegal.
Who has a solution to such a dire predicament? Kyle Ferguson, of course!
While there is much important work to be done on this issue, the most immediate need is for Christians to start demonstrating the unique value of Christian institutions. Kyle is exploring one of the ways we can do that. Christian nonprofit minitries and (just as important) Christians in for-profit business can beat the welfare state at its own game. The ministries can provide the poor something no non-Christians are currently providing them: personal development to help them become good workers; and Christian businesspeople can provide another thing no one else is currently providing: job-creating businesses that are ready and willing to go into depressed areas and employ the poor, providing them the dignity of work and self-support.
But it won't be just poverty. What can Christian institutions do to provide unique contributions to the flourishing of our non-Christian neighbors and society at large in arts and entertainment? In business? In neighborhoods? Even in politics?
That, however, is only the short-term need. The long-term need is not to rescue the church from the threat of persecution, but to rescue liberal democracy from the threat of moral fragmentation.
Religions and quasi-religions (let's not reopen the debate over what counts as a religion) can't be sustained without institutional embodiment. This is just a basic feature of human behavior. We need to have institutions that teach us, structure our behavior and hold us accountable. And since liberal democracy depends on a virtuous citizenry, in the long run it depends on religious and quasi-religious institutions.
Romantic individualism has a contradiction at its core: it is not as individualistic as it thinks it is. It has always sought, and achieved, institutional embodiment – all while denying to itself that it seeks this. The two chief places it has been embodied are in the state – hence the need for a state-controlled "civil religion" in the Social Contract – and in educational institutions. The near-total triumph of Romantic individualism in these two sectors has coincided with a continual contraction of actual liberty for the individual, as both these types of institutions have become more rigid in imposing Romantic individualism as orthodoxy.
Rousseau foresaw all this and laid it out plain and simple in the Social Contract – those who do not voluntarily find their freedom in submission to the general will must be "forced to be free." Those words are widely misunderstood and abused – Rousseau was no totalitarian – but the indifference to the individuality of the individual was very real and deliberately chosen.
Who has a solution to such a dire predicament? Dan Kelly, of course!
What will be needed in the long run is a restoration of the idea – which predominated at the American founding – that participation in and voluntary financial support for religious institutions is a necessary virtue of good citizenship. We can't impose this by law consistent with religious freedom; but in the long run we also can't sustain religious freedom unless society once again sets the expectation that all good and decent citizens will be part of religious institutions. This principle must be incorporated into the premises of liberal democracy at the same level as free enterprise, rights, etc. Get to work on that, Dan.
A parting question for Karen: can we extend this principle to include quasi-religious institutions? Would that be sufficient for liberal democracy, or does it have to be "religion proper"?

The question occurred to me a few days ago as I was helping a reader set up her Check Register spreadsheet. She is an absolute beginner to the task of tracking expenses. So the idea of creating spending categories was a bit daunting.
Part of the problem was that I'd emailed her a copy of my own Category List from Quicken, just so she'd get the idea. It gave her the idea, all right — the idea that categorizing one's spending is a nightmare of epic proportions.
Well, it really isn't, and I didn't intend it to look that way.
The problem is that my Quicken Category List is extensive. It's super-long, having been constructed over the course of more than nine years. It's chock full of categories, subcategories, sub-subcategories, and sub-sub-subcategories. Some of these have been used maybe once or twice, tops, in the last several years. But they're all there, nonetheless, and they tell me what I want to know.
However, when someone who isn't me finds spending categories like "Food - Dining" not exactly delineating themselves from "Entertainment - Dining," and "Household" seeming a whole lot like "House - Miscellaneous," well, things can get muddy.
Glimpsing that whole mess had to make Dear Reader / Spreadsheet User question the reward — nay, the sanity — of it all. What Budgeting Newbie could get a good, honest start in Spending Control 101 with something as nasty as THAT staring straight at them?
Here I was, a huge advocate of Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS) methodology, and my own spending Category List looked pretty much like a chapter from War and Peace.
If you're just starting to track your spending, looking to get some starter spending categories in place, then War and Peace is most assuredly NOT the idea.
A Spending Category Beginning
I don't remember where I started with my own spending categories, obviously. It was just too long ago. My life has changed too much since then, anyway. So I set about throwing together a usable list of starter categories, as it were.
The idea is to cover the basics, to give someone new to this game a place to start. Obviously there are zillions of things we could spend our after-tax earnings on, but I like these categories as a starting point:
Now, if you were looking for something that's more detailed and extensive, you might wish to see this longer Excel list of spending categories. It's from Mary Hunt's book, the Cheapskate Monthly Money Makeover.

text: Deano 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Hi all, i might as well start from the beginning. I have recently discovered that i had a water leak in the passenger footwell. I lifted up the foot mats and discovered that the carpet was soaked underneath, with further investigation i found that the passenger rear was in a similar state and i had a small damp patch in the drivers side where the fuel cap release lever is. I did a bit of research on various forums and found that most people were advising to remove the inside door panels and check the seals that hold the card inside on to the door. I did this simple procedure and found that the sealant was coming away from the top and the bottom, not completley but there were obvious holes, plus i found that the sponge door card at the bottom was soaked in water (just the edge). I lifted the main carpet right up out of the way and there was puddles of water in the footwell right up to the sound proofing. I went and brought some more sealant (asda's bathroom selant to be precise) and re-sealed all of the seals that were broken. I am just waiting them to dry, i have the car parked under a shelter out of the rain, i also have the carpet lifted as high as i could get it and have the dreaded task of drying everything out now. This led me to wonder, why should there be water on the inside of the door panel anyway? how does it initially get in? what does the sealant do, as in does it stop the water from intruding from inside the door or what? Does anybody else have any input on this problem i have? Is there anyone who thinks it could be something else? my first thoughts were that it was the door seals themselves, but they looked dry? I may go around for a couple of days (or until its dry) with the air-con blowing heat at the footwells, if this all work i will start on the drivers side, and maybe the o/s/r. (which is actually dry but i can still check the seals) thanks MONDEO 2.0 TDDI 52 PLATE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northside Baptist music Minister John Woods first organized the camp three years ago. Woods talks about the students' performance and why he thinks it's important for kids to come together through the arts and the church.

'Every Day': UnextraordinaryJanuary 14, 2011
You can see what writer-director Richard Levine is going for with "Every Day," a movie that wants to capture an American marriage in all its mundane detail.
Well, strike that – while this is an American marriage, it involves a highly privileged couple. They live in the Long Island suburbs; father Ned (Liev Schreiber) is a writer for a lurid night-time soap (that looks like it could be a second cousin of "Nip/Tuck," Levine's alma mater). He obviously makes enough that wife Jeannie (Helen Hunt) doesn't have to work, though she wants to.
Still, Levine wants to show that even the affluent have problems that stretch beyond the bounds of what money can solve. Ned is embarrassed by his job – and tense because his producer, Garrett (Eddie Izzard), keeps rejecting his scripts as boring, even as he demands at least four major shocking moments per episode.
Ned is also uncomfortable with the fact that his older son, Jonah (Ezra Miller), is both gay and out – and wants to attend a gay prom. But Ned can't actually bring himself to talk about this with Jonah, though he keeps threatening to.
Meanwhile, Jeannie has just returned from the Midwest with her depressive father, Ernie (Brian Dennehy), who is wheelchair-bound and incontinent. His medical issues have reached a level where Jeannie has brought him back east to live with the family, so she can take care of his declining medical condition – despite the fact that he has only ever criticized and otherwise deflated her.
And that's pretty much it. Levine wants to make this period – of transition, of adjustment, of coming to terms with the way life has suddenly become –significant. Yet he expects the behavior of the characters and the things that happen to them to carry all the weight, without creating much of a plot.
In the world Levine has created, these people aren't able to articulate their feelings with any real clarity. We're expected to watch the repetitive, grinding lives in which they temporarily find themselves stuck and extract the greater meaning for ourselves.
Certainly, we've had too many movies like this, where people suddenly announce their feelings with note-perfect expression. They not only understand their own feelings but they're able to explain them to the people closest to them, who, up to that moment, have been too self-absorbed to notice.
But Levine errs by going too far in the opposite direction. Even when Ned strays with a coworker, played with juicy enjoyment by Carla Gugino, he mostly looks glum and, aside from an early effort to turn her down, doesn't seem to either learn anything or suffer any consequences for his actions.
Levine has similar problems with the grandfather Ernie, who Dennehy strips of all lovable qualities. He's an old pain in the ass, who thinks nothing about kvetching loudly in public about how much a rash is making his balls itch. And yet he's able to calmly explain legato to his violin-playing grandson.
Hunt and Schreiber are both strong actors who, here, make the most of the little they've been given. Which means that they both spend much of the film looking clenched and miserable.
"Every Day" swims in mock profundity and has the feel of a movie made specifically for a forgiving festival audience. Its good intentions are largely wasted.

About Us
A Connecticut based 501(c)(3) that works endlessly to save dogs from situations in which dogs are picked up as strays, abandoned, or set for euthanasia. A rescue who's commitment continues and will never change.
Our Mission
One More Dog Rescue believes that animals deserve our love, compassion, and respect. Our purpose is to rescue dogs and to provide care for orphaned, stray, and abused dogs. Through rehabilitation, socialization and adoption, we strive to provide a humane service to all dogs that come into our rescue. Additionally we provide awareness about the prevention of animal abuse and neglect as well as spay/neuter programs and their important effect on the dog overpopulation crisis.

One More Dog Rescue, Inc. does not have a shelter and relies solely on a network of foster homes and volunteers. We receive no public funding and count on the generosity of others to help defray our costs, which include vet bills and other medical expenses.
Wise Words
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?" The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die." " Son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!" After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said...... "I made a difference for that one."

Koh Lanta | Krabi | Thailand
Over the years we have remained loyal to our clients and our core beliefs of honesty and integrity remain as strong as ever. Over the last ten years, we have helped many happy & satisfied Koh Lanta property owners; in fact we have even assisted property buyers who have been mis-sold by other agents. That is our determination to ensure that everyone enjoys Koh Lanta as much as we do.

LIP Signature Property Collection
Finding an idyllic dream property in Thailand is not difficult. However, as an overseas investor it can be difficult and it is therefore critical you have someone you can trust to act on your behalf. Iain and Darren from Lanta Island Property sourced a beautiful cliff-top property for us before it even appeared on the market. Their in-depth knowledge of the local property business and the process of how to navigate through often complex Thai laws proved invaluable. They both provided reliable referrals of reputable law firms and architects and constantly followed up and kept us informed throughout the entire process from start to the final legal closing. A sincere thank you to both of them for their professionalism
Niall Lawlor, Perth, Australia
Iain Tiltman. Jag skulle kunna skriva en hel bok om den här killen. Han har visat mig hela Koh Lanta – med bil och på motorcykel - och med hjälp av honom känner jag nu till hela ön. Oavsett vad du är ute efter så kommer Iain att hitta det som är helt rätt för dig - oavsett prisklass – men han kommer aldrig att pressa dig till att göra ett oavvägt köp – än värre bli lurad – vilket är något som i värsta fall kan hända i Thailand.
Carina Rydberg – Stockholm
As always, thank you for your hard work and your professional - yet friendly - demeanor.

Iain did a fantastic Job - it was comforting to know he was genuinely looking after any issues that came up. He checked in on us every day to make sure all was OK. Please pass on our appreciation to Iain. We left in such a rush we didn't' get a chance to buy him a thank you gift for taking such good care of us.
Danielle, UK
You have managed my Klong Nin Villa now for over a year and I can honestly say it has been an enormous pleasure working with you. You have always been there when things need sorting out, you are competent and reliable, and, not insignificantly, English is your native language. Because you have lived in Lanta for a number of years, your contacts and local knowledge have always enabled me to get the best service for my Villa when anything needs sorting out. As you know most of my guests have sent me e-mails after their holidays to say how helpful you were to them.
N Ranken, UK
I've just purchased a 3 rai property on the East Coast of Koh Lanta with the help of Iain. He did in fact help me right from the beginning to the end of the process as this was my 1st experience doing so. Iain always answered my questions and replied back to me once he was able to source any more difficult answers to the issues I faced.
S. Kilarski, Canada.
I have known Iain Tiltman of Lanta Island Property for nearly three years now and have found him to be very trustworthy and honest with everyone. I have bought some land here he introduced to me and everything went very well. He sorted all the legal work and got the translations done for me. It worked like a dream. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for his services in the property market.
A. Butler, UK.
Last year I was looking to buy land on Koh Lanta and used a few agents to do so. I have to say Iain was by far the best in many respects. Iain bent over backwards to help me, as it took me several months of searching to buy the right land plot and he was always patient, trying to give objective advice, putting together a detailed business plan. He is totally on the ball, knows his stuff having been here many years and has a great reputation within the ex-pat community on the island in general. Iain turned out to be a good friend too whom I can trust and have no doubt he will do his best for you.
L. Breen, Scotland.
Without a hard-working and capable agent a process of sale ( for instance as in my case of vendor Sweden and myself New Zealand) could be challenging. Mine has been a steady, relative simple and stress-free process because of Iain's and Darren's quick, accurate and informative responses - all carried-through in a genial and consistent manner. I have dealt with many Real Estate agents through the years: None better than these facilitators of Lanta Island Property. I am extremely grateful.
Adrian Kerr, Chalk Farm, Maungati, Timaru, New Zealand

Is Board Wax About to Become a Thing of the Past?
Waxing the board for traction has long been the norm. Grip pads at the rear of the deck have become pretty standard, but alternatives for the front peg have come and gone, usually disappearing as quickly as they arrived. And the reason for their rapid vanishing act? The truth is that nothing really works as well as a good… Read more

Latest & Greatest: Back Wall Paint Job
We have been steadily updating and upgrading the gym for the last couple years. Starting with extending the overhanging boulder feature in the back and continuing with installing new floors in the front and back bouldering areas. Then we installed new flooring in the workout area and now we have repainted the back wall.
This has been a goal for the last year and we have done many experiments with different paints and gotten input from many sources. We ended up using the Nicros texture paint and mixing the color ourselves. The design was sketched on the spot, planned and installed by a awesome team of people. Thanks to Janice, Matt, Evan, Dwight, Nolan and Jamie as well as three kick ass members who donated their time to help us out; Jamie Macedo, Phong Tieu and Sam Traggis.
The main boulder feature is next up to be painted. Its gonna be radical!!!

RadioShack Combines Promos To Offer The iPhone 4S (AT&T) On The Cheap
So you missed out on getting the new iPhone 4S when it came out. Worse, all your friends got the new Apple flagship and make fun of your 3GS at every possible opportunity. Plus, all the holiday shopping you've been doing has made it nearly impossible to afford the 4S without giving up every shred of financial responsibility. If that description fits you, even a little bit, then rise… Read More
RadioShack's Trade-In Program May Just Get You A Free iPhone 4S
RadioShack has a trade-in program for used gadgets that (circumstances permitting) may just save you quite a bit on an iPhone 4S. Even better, if you trade in a undamaged 32GB iPhone 4 (scratch free, no battery issues, etc.), you'll get enough store credit back from RadioShack to purchase a 16GB iPhone 4S and still have money to burn. Well, not burn so much as spend on accessories or… Read More
Sprint-Bound HTC EVO 3D Nabs FCC Approval
The HTC EVO 3D is possibly one of the most anticipated phones of the summer, and both Sprint and HTC have done an excellent job of teasing out its launch date. Thanks to a RadioShack flyer discovered a few days ago, we were pretty certain the 3D-capable smartphone would hit shelves on June 24. Today, however, we've been given a little extra confirmation that the smartphone is on its… Read More
The iPad 2 To "Be Available At 500 RadioShack Locations" Tomorrow
Yay for easily-confirmed Internet rumors! MacRumors just posted a photo claiming to come from a RadioShack internal memo, which states 500 retail locations will start selling the iPad 2 on March 29th. That's tomorrow if you happen to be reading this the day I hit the publish button. This comes as a bit of a surprise as a RadioShack has yet to officially announce iPad 2 plans even… Read More
RadioShack looking for a buyer, possibly Best Buy
We could be looking at the end of RadioShack, boys and girls. The company is said to be exploring a strategic partnership, or outright sale, possibly to Best Buy. I don't see why Best Buy would be interested: what does RadioShack sell that's either A) not already available or B) entirely too niche for its Wal-Mart approach to selling consumer electronics?

The Shack to sell the Palm Pre for $150 this weekend

Yeah, RadioShack is turning into the Shack
So RadioShack is now the Shack. They're also going to put a huge laptop in New York and one in San Fran. You'll be able to chat with people on these laptops. Homeless people will eventually pee on both. Read More
RadioShack stores now accepting trade-ins of old gadgets
Good for RadioShack. All 4400 stores are now drop-off locations for the company's trade-in program, which sounds like a natural fit. Previous gadget trade-in programs generally involve sending your gear away to a random website where you just *know* that you will not get in return what the website advertises. Now you just head to your local 'Shack and the associate determines… Read More
RadioShack to sell 3G Aspire One for $99 with AT&T
And the subsidization of 3G-equipped netbooks starts to slowly take shape here in the US. Starting Sunday, RadioShack will be selling the Acer Aspire One for $99 with a two-year contract from AT&T at $60 per month for 5GB of high speed data. If $60 sounds like a lot to be paying for 5GB of wireless data each month, it is (if you ask me). Maybe you could wait for future offerings with… Read More

By Ruthie Robison The Winston County Journal
The Noxapater Tigers are ready to host their toughest opponent yet, the Pelahatchie Chiefs, this Friday night.
After an open week, the defending Class 1A champions have been prepping for another big Class 1A, Region 3, District 4 win.
The Tigers recently traveled to Crawford to face the East Oktibbeha Titans and won 48-6, the highest margin Noxapater has won by all year.
The Tigers took a pair of back to back losses early in the season from two tough Class 2A teams. However, Noxapater recovered the following week of play routing the Class 3A Kemper County Wildcats, 19-0. Since then the Tigers have been unbeatable outscoring their opponents 228-19, which included three shutout wins.
Noxapater plans to continue their dominance on the field facing their biggest challenges of the season.
The Tigers are currently undefeated in division play and ranked at the top of their district standings alongside the Chiefs and West Oktibbeha Timberwolves (7-1,5-0), who are also undefeated.
The Tigers hold a 6-2 overall record and are 5-0 in district play.
Pelahatchie (8-1, 6-0) recently defeated the East Oktibbeha Titans, 56-16.
After this week's battle with the Chiefs, Noxapater will travel to Maben to square off with the Timberwolves. Then the following week, the Tigers will finish their schedule at home against county rival the Nanih Waiya Warriors.
Noxapater's upcoming matchups will decide who will take the district title before entering playoff action.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.

I'm tight on time for this week's column, so I thought I'd share some links to other people's wisdom.
On Becoming Better:
Matthew Paul Turner, of Jesus Needs New PR, shares 9 Ways to Become a Better Blogger. I'm a big fan of #3: "Be funny, sensational, opinionated, over-the-top, interesting, deep, provocative–just be SOMETHING that sets you apart from others."
And #4: "Stop complicating blogging. People over-think blogging all the time. It's just a blog! Simplify your process."
Oh, and…well, pretty much all of them. Go read it and see what you think.
On Mistakes You Make:
Michael Hyatt asks "Do You Make These 10 Mistakes When You Blog?" I do. Which is why I have this post bookmarked to revisit from time to time.
For Novelists (and the rest of us, too!):
I'm an avid reader of fiction, but not a writer of it. Even so, I found this listing of 25 blogs every aspiring novelist should read to be interesting and, well, addictive.
Because She ROCKS:
I make no secret of the fact that I'm a BIG fan of Jen Fulwiler, the blogger behind Conversion Diary. She's quite a writer, and her posts about running two blogs in the midst of a busy life (she has four kids under 7 and is pregnant with #5) and her series on building traffic to your blog (part 1 and part 2) are great.
