You heard of business plans and marketing plans and if you have been in business for a while, chances are you have gotten so wrapped up in operations, finances or growing HR needs you let the marketing tend to fly by the seat of its pants. How weird would it be to handle your purchasing or pricing in the same fashion? So why do it with marketing? Marketing is perhaps one of the most important areas of your business because it keeps you pipeline full, prospects walking in the door, closing deals easier, and keep current customers to keep buying from you.
Lets break marketing down into the two simplest parts:
- How to start
- How to follow through
Simple Simon, right? Wrong. While most businesses entertain the idea of putting their marketing plan on paper, once on paper businesses seems to have a harder time committing to the execution. Just as important as any area of operations it seems easy to forget that marketing needs real attention. But the dividends from time spent on marketing drive dollars to your bottom line exponentially if you can remember how closely marketing and sales are tied together.
What we tend to see is that business owners are concerned to throw good dollars at a plan that has no guarantee to show a return. The success of a marketing plan is similar to swinging a gold club, without following through on the swing balls go flying in every direction
Why is it that so many small business owners do not appreciate the importance of a marketing plan? After all, most of you would not begin an across country trip without mapping out your route nor would you let a contractor build your dream home without hiring an architect to design it first. You understand that without a plan, you're likely to experience costly delays and frustrations and not achieve your goal, whether it's getting to your final destination or ending up with the home you hoped for at a price you can afford.
Planning is equally important when it comes to small business marketing, yet many small businesses make up their marketing as they go along with no real focus or rationale for their actions, much less any consistency and follow through. Too often in other words, their marketing is hit or miss, and then they wonder why their marketing dollars don't get them the results they want.
Benefits of a Marketing Plan
A marketing plan helps your business take a systematic, coordinated approach to its marketing and makes it more likely that your business' marketing activities will succeed. It's your business' marketing road map or blueprint.
Here are some other benefits to developing and implementing a marketing plan:
- Gives you an opportunity to help everyone in your business understand that although they may not be directly responsible for marketing, how they do their jobs can affect the success or failure of your marketing activities. The most effective marketing programs are top to bottom efforts.
- Provides you with an opportunity to improve communication and teamwork among your key managers. All of them should be involved in the plan development and implementation process.
- Helps ensure marketing consistency over time. Although your employees may come and go, your business plan remains, providing everyone with a written record of what you want to accomplish and how you intend to do it.
- Makes it more likely that marketing at your business will be an on-going effort, not a stop and start affair. Therefore, it's more likely that your business's marketing activities will produce good results.
- Helps you identify which marketing initiatives work and don't work for your business. Your plan also helps you determine which initiatives should be retooled or refined.
What Your Business' Marketing Plan Should Do
Among other things, your marketing plan should:
- Define and analyze your audience.
- Identify and assess your competition.
- Identify your business' strengths and weaknesses vis a vis that competition.
- Establish clear and measurable marketing goals and objectives for your business.
- Identify the specific activities you will carry out to achieve those goals and objectives. Also, figure out the resources you will need.
- Make it clear who is responsible for what.
- Indicate whether any of your employees need additional training and education to effectively execute their plan responsibilities.
- Establish a timetable for taking each action.
Review, Revise, Reflect
Once you've completed your marketing plan, don't file it away and never look at the plan again. You've probably spent weeks if not longer developing it, so use it!
Here are some tips for making effective use of your plan:
- Educate all of your employees about your business' plan. Make them aware of what they can do to help it succeed.
- Schedule regular meetings with key staff. During the meetings review whether particular goals and objectives have been met or on target to be met.
- Identify stumbling blocks. Then figure out ways to get around them.
- Constantly assess what is and isn't working. Based on your assessments, decide what you should do differently when you are developing and implementing next year's marketing plan.
- Revise your plan when necessary.
The same thing happens with our marketing. We can put all our money and time into the preparation and stop short of the follow through.
As entrepreneurs, we are usually great at coming up with ideas to promote our business. We know that it's not rocket science, and yet we struggle time and time again getting our ideas off the ground. This isn't really surprising because on top of wearing our marketing hat, we are also wearing our operational, financial, IT and HR hats. Yet when we look at all the different roles we have to play in our businesses, it is truly our sales and marketing hat that can fast track our business to the next level.So how can we ensure that we allocate it the time it deserves? More importantly how do we know that we are fully following through?
- Treat Your Marketing Like Your Most Important Client – You wouldn't miss an appointment with a high income client, would you? Then make appointments in your Calendar with Marketing and do your utmost not to miss these appointments.
- Promotions are Only The Beginning – When you decide to advertise, network or mail out a postcard, you are only taking one "big backswing" with your marketing efforts. To leave these expensive and time consuming activities with only a phone number or web address as "leave behinds" is a tragedy. You should make it EASY for them to contact you through a free or trial offering, an invitation, etc.
- Think Multi-Channel – What other marketing channels can you tap into to promote the same thing? What about your strategic alliances, peers, friends, clients, the press?
- Think Multi-Touch – If you can capture lead information or entice people to "try you out" now you are in a position to stay in contact.
Make sure this contact is:
- Timely
- Professional
- Provides Great Quality and Consistency
Review Revise Revisit – Just like my driving range experience. You need to try it, try it again. Measure it. Make some changes and try
Remember your marketing isn't about perfection, it's about improvement. Keep trying, measuring, learning and you are already 50% there!

Based on site visits to 22 key research teams in China, as well as interviews with ethicists and Ministry of Health officials, this book investigates how, over the last decade, Chinese stakeholders have developed a cosmopolitan sensibility in comprehending and responding to ethical and regulatory concerns with influence from both within and without their national boundaries. It elucidates the structural and administrative particularities stem cell scientists are confronted with and charts the transformation of Chinese science from an image of the 'Wild East' to a responsible player in the international stem cell community. This book demonstrates the feasibility, and implications, of a less advantaged country in influencing global research trends and provides a powerful corrective to existing cosmopolitan frameworks which are established mainly on Western data sources. It contributes both to the empirical social study of science and to current theoretical debates on cosmopolitanization.

Because PR and social media are so intertwined, whether you're an entrepreneur doing your own PR, or you are a PR professional – you need more technical skills than ever before.
In fact, according to Information Week, more companies are "hiring marketing staffers who have focused tech skills."
It won't be long until this trend carries over to the PR field.
IT Is Invading PR
The question is: are you tech savvy enough? Do you have what it takes to bring your PR efforts into the realm of geeks? In this day and age, basic HTML, JavaScript and CSS are becoming must-have skill sets.
Consider some of the run-of-the-mill tech tasks you need to do PR right now:
- create social media profiles
- schedule posts to social media
- post to a number of social networks all at once
- monitor keywords via RSS feed
- publish blog posts with WordPress or other CMS
- upload a press release, with photo and video elements, to a site like PRWeb
- upload a video to YouTube
- embed a video from YouTube or other video sharing site
- shorten links or URLs
- use Google or other search engines to find a contact person within a specific media organization, complete with email address, telephone number, Twitter handle, and blog URL
- capture and edit a photo or video from your smart phone or tablet, and post it to Facebook and other social networks
- monitor and participate in a Twitter chat
- organize a video streaming event
- monitor and understand the implications of your site's Google Analytics data
These activities may have been considered technical in nature years ago. But today, they're ordinary tasks any person doing PR is expected to be able to do.
What About The IT Person?
You may be thinking, "Why can't I just call Tim from IT to do the more complicated tech stuff for me?"
Of course, you could do that. But it would make everything take longer. IT consultants have other clients; in a company, the IT Department have their own priorities; either way you'll have to get in line.
This means you could miss out on PR opportunities.
Furthermore, if you're a PR professional looking for career opportunities in Fortune 500 companies, know that hiring decisions are already being made with these tech skills in mind.
What You Can Do
So folks, we have no choice but to embrace the social media revolution and evolution happening in our field. If you happen to be a technophobe, it's time to face your fears. There are many things you can do to get your tech skills up to speed, such as:
- Find a mentor who will show you how to do things.
- Watch tutorial videos on YouTube.
- Buy or borrow books.
- Hire a VA to train you.
- Enroll in classes, both in-person and virtual.
Whichever path you choose, there's nothing better than jumping right in and learning while doing.
The more you get familiar with technology, the less scary it will be. I promise.
Speak Your Mind
What technology task intimidates you from the list above? How do you think it's holding you back from PR success?
Share your two-cents in the comments below. Or reach out to me on Twitter or Facebook. I'd love to hear from you!
Elena is founder of a technology PR agency that works with startups to billion-dollar companies. She is passionate about helping marketers and small business owners with practical publicity strategies, which she's also using for her own bling flip flop company.

BEST doesn't have enough staff to tend to power cuts
Residents have been suffering from long outages due to delays in fixing glitches; authority cites personnel crunch as crux of problem
Uninterrupted power supply has always featured prominently in the (dwindling) list of privileges that Mumbaikars can claim to enjoy. However, this too is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Residents of the island city and the central suburbs know this all too well — in the last few days, there have been a slew of minor power cuts. What's worse, residents complain that hours pass before personnel are sent from the city's power distributor — Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST). Authorities have blamed these delays on a severe staff crunch.
Sources in BEST said that nearly 1,500 personnel man the maintenance department at present, who attend to all problems that crop up in power supply throughout the expanse of the island city. Catering to 10 lakh power consumers, they have to attend to at least eight to ten complaints in a day. "The administration needs to fill at least 2,000 vacancies in the supply division alone. It takes a lot of time to rectify technical faults," said Ravi Raja, a BEST committee member.
Another BEST member, Suhas Samant, revealed that there is a major crunch of lower-rung staff members who have to be present at the spot to rectify faults. They attend to complaints or calls made to BEST to report cases of power tripping or power cuts. The process of filling up these spots has been slow and sluggish, admitted officials.
During heavy rains recently, power supply in several parts of the island city, including Dadar, Matunga, Sion, Shivaji Park and Churchgate were affected. Power consumers claimed that there was no electricity for over nine hours. "There was a power cut at around 8.30 pm, and electricity supply was restored only at around 6 am the next morning. On the same day, some staff from the BEST visited our building to examine the problem," said B Jain, a Dadar resident.
Although officials confirmed a shortage of maintenance staff in the supply department, they attributed the incident last week to a technical glitch at one of the supply stations.
Power disruptions are more frequent in the monsoon season. "During rains, water splashes against the hot power supply lines, causing the cables to crack. This disrupts power supply," explained a power expert.
You may have to pay more for power soon
This just in — your electricity bills may increase by a small margin soon. Recently, the generation wing of Tata Power filed a petition with the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) asking BEST and Reliance Infra to pay arrears of Rs 13.36 crore per month and Rs 9.39 crore per month respectively. If BEST and Reliance are told to cough up their dues over a period of nine months, the two power distributors are likely to recover the cost from their consumers in the months to come.

Partners For Fish and Wildlife
The Partners For Fish and Wildlife program improves and protects fish and wildlife habitats on private lands through alliances between the landowner, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other organizations. All land is maintained in private ownership.
Over two-thirds of our nation's land is privately owned and contains some of the most important fish and wildlife habitat in the United States. The Partners For Wildlife program can help protect fish and wildlife habitat and contribute to the health of the land and the quality of life of the people on it.
Anyone can be a partner: farmers, ranchers, local agencies, private organizations, corporations, government agencies, educational institutions - anyone interested in improving and protecting wildlife habitat.
If your property contains habitat that can be improved for wildlife, assistance is available to help you plan and design a habitat management project. Activities include restoring wetlands, restoring prairies, and setting aside land to provide food and cover for wildlife.

Did Margaret Thatcher support Rupert Murdoch's purchase of The Times and Sunday Times or not?
Down the years since his 1981 acquisition of the titles, the evidence has zig-zagged one way or the other, with allegations that she did inevitably followed by denials.
The issue centres on why Murdoch's bid was not referred to the monopolies and mergers commission (MMC) by Thatcher's trade and industry secretary, the late John Biffen.
Now comes a new faint chink of light into this fascinating piece of media history, en passant, in Charles Moore's Thatcher biography.*
In a footnote (on page 549) Moore states that Thatcher informally supported the Murdoch bid, adding:
"As Murdoch put it, 'probably because of the political stance of The Sun, she knew where I stood. I'm sure Biffen must have got instructions or just read the tea leaves.'"
This quote, taken from the author's interview with Murdoch, is candid enough to imply that Biffen was either told what to do, or knew what was expected of him, but stops short of stating that Thatcher was directly involved.
Moore says, incorrectly, that Biffen was entitled not to refer the bid to the MMC because the Sunday Times was losing money. In fact, it was profitable, as was revealed at the Leveson inquiry (and previously in Harold Evans's book, Good Times, Bad Times, and in my own book, Press Gang).
The account also omits to mention the claim by Murdoch's friend, and employee, Woodrow Wyatt, about having fixed matters with Thatcher, which he noted in his diaries, The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt: Volume 3, page 582.
Indeed, Wyatt was also honest enough to admit that, should it have reached the MMC, the commission "almost certainly would have blocked it."
When Murdoch met Thatcher at Chequers on 5 January 1981, while his bid was being considered, one of the subjects they discussed was his takeover of The Times and Sunday Times.
Though he maintained that he had no memory of the meeting, the emergence of notes of their conversation taken by Thatcher's press aide, Bernard Ingham, proved it had taken place.
Indeed, those notes showed that Murdoch requested the meeting and that its "main purpose" "was to brief the prime minister on his bid for Times Newspapers."
I know Moore has faced a mountain of material in writing his biography - and I've enjoyed all I've read thus far - but it's odd that this Thatcher-Murdoch meeting and the importance of The Times takeover has not been dealt with at length.
A key incident in the close relationship between the leader of a government and a powerful media tycoon is surely worthy of more than a footnote.
*Margaret Thatcher: The Authorized Biography, Volume One: Not For Turning, by Charles Moore (Allen Lane)

The National Center for Home Food Preservation
Guide and Literature Review Series:
Smoking and Curing
6.3.2. Cooling
Cool cooked products rapidly to below 40°F and keep refrigerated. Cooked fish products should generally be cooled from to 70°F or below within 2 hours and to 40°F or below within another 4 hours (US FDA 1998). Minimize handling of cooked products. Dry (unfermented) products may not be hot smoked until the curing and drying procedures are completed. Semi dry fermented sausage must be heated after fermentation to a time/temperature sufficient to control growth of pathogenic and spoilage organisms of concern.
6.4. Trichinella
Pork products must be treated to destroy Trichinella by (a) Heat: A minimum internal temperature of 130°F(30 min.), 132°F(15 min.), 134°F(6 min.), or 136°F(3 min.), (b) Freezing: 5°F(20 days), -10°F(10 days) or -20°F(6 days) for all pork in pieces not exceeding 6 cu. inches. Double the freezing times for larger pieces up to 27 inches of thickness or (c) some combination of curing, drying, and smoking can kill Trichinella, but these are process specific (9 CFR 318.10).
FSIS approved of the use of up to 50% KCl2 in place of NaCl for the destruction of trichinae (USDA FSIS 1995c). Wild game (bear, elk, etc.) must be treated to destroy Trichinella by heating to 170°F, since some strains of Trichinella are freeze resistant (CDC 1985).
6.5. Fish
Intentionally under-processed fish (e.g., green herring, or cold smoked fish) should be frozen first to 4°Ffor 7 days to kill parasites (PHS/FDA 2001) or to -10°Ffor at least 7 days (Price and Tom 1995). Because spores of C. botulinum are known to be present in the viscera of fish, any fish product that will be preserved using salt, drying, pickling, or fermentation must be eviscerated prior to processing. Without evisceration, toxin formation is possible during the process. Small fish, less than 5 inches (12.7 cm) in length, that are processed in a manner that prevents toxin formation, and that reach a water phase salt content of 10%, a water activity of below 0.85, or a pH of 4.6 or less are exempt from the evisceration requirement (US FDA 1998). For salted and hot smoked fish, use brine with a minimum salt concentration of 3.5% water phase salt (Hilderbrand 1999). It is not recommended to hot or cold-smoke fish that have not been brined (Schafer 1999).
6.6. Ham Recommendations
For country ham, dry salt cured ham, country cured shoulder ham, or dry-cured bacon, the internal salt content should be 4% when used with nitrates/nitrites or 10% without the use of nitrates/nitrites. Properly prepared dry cured hams are safe to store at room temperature (Reynolds et al., In Press, PHS/FDA 2001). Soak country cured hams in water in the refrigerator (40°F) to reduce salt levels prior to eating (PHS/FDA 2001). High humidity during curing and aging may lead to surface spoilage. Mold may grow on the surface and can be safely washed off.
6.7. Sausage
All recipes should call for final internal temperatures that will destroy trichinae. We do not recommend preparing homemade, non-fermented sausages that are not fully cooked. If you do prepare them, be sure the meat, especially pork, has been properly frozen to destroy trichinae and other parasites. Use a meat thermometer to help insure that meat is kept cold before cooking and that sausage is properly cooked. Cool the sausage quickly after cooking and keep in the refrigerator for short term storage or freezer for long term storage (Busboom 1996). Semi-dry cured sausages, such as summer sausage, should be heat treated to 145°F for 4 minutes to destroy E. coli that may have survived the curing and fermentation process (USDA FSIS 1995).
6.8. Storage Guidelines
Store Cured/Smoked Poultry up to two weeks in the refrigerator or up to one year in the freezer (TAES Extension Poultry Scientists 1999). Store lightly cured fish 10-14 days in the refrigerator or 2-3 months in the freezer (Luick 1998). Vacuum packaged meats, e.g., smoked fish, must be kept at 40°F, since the reduced oxygen atmosphere increases the risk of botulism poisoning (Luick 1998). Modern fish curing/smoking recipes produce a highly perishable product that rarely keeps better than the raw fish.
6.9. At Risk Consumers
You can protect your unborn child by not eating shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish that can contain high levels of methylmercury (U.S. F.D.A. 2001a). "At risk" consumers should avoid eating refrigerated smoked seafood, unless it is in a cooked dish. Refrigerated smoked seafood, such as salmon, trout, whitefish, cod, tuna, or mackerel, is most often in recipes for "Nova style, "lox, kippered, smoked or jerky seafood. These preparations are at risk for Listeria monocytogenes contamination (U.S. F.D.A. 2001b). At-risk consumers might want to avoid dry cured sausages because of the risk of E. coli O157:H7 (USDA FSIS 1995b). Consumers may want to avoid feeding cured products containing nitrates/nitrites to babies less than three months old because of implications in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) due to nitrate/nitrite poisoning (methemoglobinemia).

"Once upon a time there was no alphabet… only numbers." William Joyce's app The Numberlys (Moonbot Studios, January 2012) introduces users to a highly detailed, Metropolis-inspired city scape, where a society of cute blobby creatures manufactures numbers. Numbers form the basis of all organization and communication, but this world, though "orderly," lacks color, creativity, and fun.
Five friends — feeling they "need something different" — secretly challenge the status quo and build the alphabet through a long process of trial and error. The other Numberlys are initially shocked when these experiments come to light, but celebrate when the introduction of the alphabet also brings color (and jellybeans!) to their lives.
Some parts of the app function like a movie, automatically advancing the narration and film-caliber animation from page to page. Other sections require user interaction; when and where to touch is indicated with red icons glowing against the gray backgrounds. The bulk of the app invites users to help the Numberlys construct letters by tapping and swiping their device. The letters are formed in various whimsical, often mechanical ways: the Numberlys (usually rotund #3) jump on shapes as though on trampolines to burst them, direct falling numbers against gears to chip off pieces, and wind cranks to pull shapes apart. Producing each letter of the alphabet gets a little long, but turning off tutorials once you've got the hang of the activities helps pick up the pace.
Occasionally the text strains to include the featured letter(s), as when the letter U "take[s] considerable 'umph' to unfurl." In other instances the text is unrelated to the means of creating the letter, e.g., the text "A bit of jujitsu at just the right juncture would readjust the I into something more jaunty" introduces the letter J, when to form the J users actually shoot Numberlys like human cannon balls at the letter I .
I wasn't a fan of the narrator's faux-German accent, but found the Numberlys themselves (who speak in long strings of numbers, inflected with plenty of emotion and personality) charming. Excellent sound effects and an epic score add to the app's cinematic feel.
The app is user-friendly; access the settings menu at any point during the story to turn narration, music, all sound, or the activity tutorials on or off. A turning gear in the menu allows users to select from thumbnails of the action on each screen and easily navigate through the narrative. The tutorials preceding each activity are brief and helpful.
There are a few logic gaps in the story — how do the number-minded Numberlys think up the letters' sounds and names? why does a number-based reality make food unpalatable and the world colorless? what is the connection between letters and color — not to mention jellybeans? — but users will be having too much fun to care. Visit the official website for making-of videos.
Available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (requires iOS 5.0 or later); $5.99. Recommended for primary and intermediate users.

Skip to comments.Buffett: Secret ballot is important..."I'm against card check."
Posted on 03/09/2009 5:43:29 AM PDT by PghBaldy
He just said it live on CNBC...deflected it before but Joe Kernen asked again...Warren Buffett "I'm against card check"
Here is posting from CNBC blog: 8:33a: Buffett says union elections should continue to be by secret ballot. He is opposed to the "card check" proposal for worker votes on joining unions.
Buffet's chickens are coming home to roost.
He's a scumbag just trying to get people to put money into his comapny. And some are pulling their money out, like Bill Gates.
Buffett says union elections should continue to be by secret ballot. He is opposed to the "card check" proposal for worker votes on joining unions.Since the proposal is going to pass, and this loser supported the Sock Puppet, big deal.
"When will Buffett be producing his own David Brooks and regret his decision to back 0bama?"
Why, he's getting to buy the market...cheap. Oh, I get it you think the public won't throw the bums out in 2010. Sorry Warren, if that's teh case, you may be in the food lines like everyone else.
Warren is taking a bath just like everyone else.
AIG got an $80billion dollar check and they are wanting more. How much will Warren Buffett be getting?
Buffett is a social liberal.
It rules him.
a baby killing enabler of the first order
may he rot in hell
"I've become a BIG TIME Joe Kernen fan"
My condolences. I think Joe is a brain-dead Liberal, and when he starts speaking I make a quick lunge for the remote control. Becky Quick is a lot more intelligent than Joe, and also easy on the eyes.
The shares of Berkshire Hathaway is now at the levels 10 years ago... not only that, some of his biggest picks are hurting him... Wells Fargo, American Express and now... Burlington Northern.
But I don't feel so sorry for him... he made the choice to back up a socialist and remember him telling everyone that he doesn't think he is being taxed enough? Well, since Warren lost half of his net worth... I bet you he is really regretting his decision now...
Blind pig::Acorn
Buffeet is a greed sh**. His Berkshire Hathaway owns Kirby vacuums which preys on poor old people in rural areas. They end up selling people in trailers $500 vacs on time payments with high interest rate financing deals. So people in trailers end up paying $3,000 for a vac. A story in the WSJ a few years ago talked about Kirby's slimy practices.
Correct. There is a disconnect between what he is saying about the efficacies of 0bama's policies (none) and his general support for 0bama.
It could be delusion on the part of the old coot. But I think it is intellectual dishonesty. Buffet railed several times against corporate dishonesty, and then lied his ass off when the topic was 0bama.
Exactly.....Obozo has already told the union thugs that he'll pay up.
HUGE logic disconect.
Buffet is essentially rescuing his OWN positions.
Oracle of Omaha is just playing to the mob to save his own posterior.
imagine the birkshire shareholders bailing on him.
"Buffet has been delusionally pro obama."
Just speculating, but I doubt buffett is prone to rapturous adulation when it comes to politicians. He could not have survived at his level as long as he has if he were.
Following this assumption, I conclude it means he thinks the interests that are presumed to be running the current administration are in his best interests as well.
His interests are not our interests. Billionaires are functionally as powerful as small nation-states, and have little in common with us.
I don't take anything Buffett takes seriously. He's just the typical lib who advocates higher tax rates, while having several armies of lawyers and accountants looking at every angle they can get to minimize HIS tax liability (just like the Kennedys, for instance). The day Buffett actually pays taxes at the rates at which he wants everyone else to pay them, is the day I'll consider taking him seriously.
Well then it's a darn good thing it's Soros' turn to work the puppet strings today.
I hope Buffett loses billions. He're your president, Warren. Suck it up.
Buffett said that both Republicans and Demos should support Obama. Since it's rather obvious that Congressional Demos are on the same page as Obama, what Buffett really means is this: Republicans should cave in and do whatever Obama wants.
To the contrary, Republicans should grow a backbone and oppose Obama's socialism.

Late last season I had a phone call with Mark Sullivan about a new website called MTNOPS that would be a new snowboard community launching products slowly into the market. I got on board with the crew and now months later, they debuted at SIA with American made products. With hearts in the backcountry and driven by snowboarding powder lines, they have created products with their brand right here in the United States.
The Harpoon is MTNOPS rockered, tapered powder board with graphics by Oscar Woodruff and a limited number of 33 snowboards. Available in a 160cm and 168cm.
The Burden is MTNOPS cambered directional freeride snowboard in sizes 155cm, 160cm, and 165cm with a limited number of 88 snowboards.
MTNOPS has some mountain men, bringing back the fleece that won't go out of style and will keep you warm on the snow or off it.
I'll add the catburgler photo tomorrow, it's a suit that'll keep you dry on the mountain under your gear.

shredunion.com thought of it first!
February 06, 2009
The whole thought of it first argument is getting old. It's not about who thought of it first, it's who does a good job of what they create. Shredunion is a website that is invitation only still, mtnops is open for anyone and has products. Two completely different sites with completely different directions they are going.
February 06, 2009
So It goes beyond being old. It's irrelevant. Who thought of what first, a social network? Sorry that has been a longstanding idea in digital media. Snowboard specific sites, niche sites of any flavor only have so much pull with audience overall.

Two low pressure systems are expected to combine today to produce steady snow by nightfall, with an Arctic cold front sweeping in behind.
The systems were moving in this morning from the west and south and were expected to merge tonight before intensifying into early Friday.
The combined systems will drop from three to seven inches of snow in the Philadelphia region, followed by a blast of frigid temperatures. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 3 p.m. tonight through 1 p.m. Friday.
A light snow is expected to start sometime during the day north and west of the I-95 corridor, but with only minor accumulations. Then, snow will likely become heavier as the evening rush hour. Temperatures will reach into the upper 20s or low 30s. But they could reach into the 40s south of Philadelphia into Delaware.
You can read a detailed explanation of expected events by meteorologist John Bolaris here.
Meanwhile, here's the forecast from the National Weather Service out of Mount Holly, N.J.:
For today, there's a chance of rain or snow before 4 p.m., with rain likely between 4 and 5 and a high of 37. Then, it will become blustery as the real snow starts to fall.
The snow will continue into the start of Friday and lows will drop to a frigid 15 and wind gusts up to 24 mph.
Snow will fall through 7 a.m. with a clearing by mid-morning.
But temperatures will remain bitter cold with a high of only 16 forecast for Friday and wind chills dipping into negative single-digits.
The cold will hunker down through Saturday with a high of 30. Temperatures will drop during the Eagles-Saints game at night.
Gradually, however, it will warm on Sunday with temperatures expected to reach the low 40s, and it's possible we'll see rain.

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The bookstore's secrets extend far beyond its walls.
I picked up Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore as I was headed to check out my books at the library. The bright cover caught my eye and the title hooked me immediately. Why would you need a 24 hour bookstore? Who is going to a bookstore at all hours of the night? Surely it's a front for something, right? (I mean all 24 hour establishments are. Obviously.) Whoever said you shouldn't judge a book by its cover is very wrong. How else do you decide to read it?
This book is full of mystery and intrigue from the moment you open the front cover. The language is easy to read but it delves into deeper meaning that keeps the reader enthralled making it more than superficial entertainment.
With a mixture of love and mystery, this novel falls into the "this is life" genre (patent pending). It's the story of one man who finds himself out of work and ends up with a job in a place that even he doesn't understand. But the night shift at a 24 hour bookstore is full of mysteries just waiting to be uncovered.
The story explores the dichotomy between electronic words on devices and computers and the physical printed word. Which is better? Is there a compelling argument for sticking with the physical books of the past?
Each character in this book is full of quirks and excitement; even the smallest of supporting roles. This story will have you thinking, feeling, imagining, and wondering. All reasons to make Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore next on your reading list.

In response to my article, The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways, I got an email from a reader named Gilbert. My original reply to him was a bit short so I hope to expand on it more here. He makes three points in the letter but in the interest of brevity, I will only be dealing with one and hopefully can tackle the others on another day. Anyway, on to the letter:
Your article today caught my eye. I can understand what seems to be some frustration for the convenient response that doesn't quite answer our deepest questions about the surrounding realities that bother us.
My own view is that I would need to accept the reality of a Supreme Being who has control over everything in order to approximate some sense in human existence. I share with you the "idea that God is good, just and compassionate." This also makes me wonder what makes you think so. If God is the Supreme Being, it will be necessary for him to have other attributes beyond what you mentioned to be so. My limited mind tells me that God will have to be eternal; no beginning, no end. He will have to be perfect; incapable of improving or deteriorating. He will have to be all-knowing; in no way deficient in knowledge of every detail of the universe. He will have to be all-powerful; mightier than anything or anyone. And there would have to be other attributes of him that would be beyond my ability to grasp except if it is his purpose for me to understand. It would be difficult for anyone to conceive of a God who had anything less than these attributes. Otherwise, this "god" would not be God at all.
The argument that it is necessary for God to exist to make sense of life is a view I held before as well. However, we have to accept one brutal fact and that is reality does not necessarily conform to our desires, no matter how strong the desire. Positing God's existence to satisfy one's longing for meaning does not make it a reality. It may offer some temporary relief and may even appear to answer some problems, but in the end, it is reality that determines what is and is not.
Let me cite a couple of examples from science. When scientists first studied waves and wave motion, they thought that waves needed to have a medium in order to propagate. For example, water waves travel through water. Hence, water is the medium. Sound waves can propagate via air, water, or even solids. But then they encountered electromagnetic waves (like radio waves or light waves) which can travel through space, they were faced with a problem. Waves needed a medium in order to travel — that was the general principle, yet space is a vacuum and there is no medium to speak of, so how come waves can travel through space?
In order to make sense of this, physicists posited that there is necessarily a substance called "aether" which permeates through space and allows electromagnetic waves to travel through a vacuum. This seemed to solve a lot of problems and it seemed to make everything make sense, until an experiment by William Michaelson and Albert Morley provided conclusive proof that there was no such thing as aether.
So scientists who could previously not accept the possibility of waves traveling without a medium were now faced to confront that brutal fact. That was the reality. They could not make it otherwise no matter how much they desired it to be so, or no matter how much it went against their current convictions.
As a more recent example, consider the Higgs Boson or Higgs particle. Since 1964, it had been posited to exist, again to explain certain phenomena in the world of quantum physics. Its existence therefore was only hypothetical until it was proven to be observably real in the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Switzerland. So now we can say with better confidence that the Higgs particle does exist.
In the same vein, one could argue all one wants that God's existence gives me meaning and purpose but until we have conclusive proof and evidence that it is so, it is merely wishful thinking.
Personally, I lean more towards the idea that we create our own meaning, a subject I explored in an earlier article, Death And The Meaning Of Life. Whether or not there is an absolute meaning is something I do not know. Yet I do not let this lack of knowledge stall my life or let me live wantonly. I like this creed based on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations 2:11:
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."

If you like melodic pop music and really good songs, then you'll like this CD. I wrote, recorded and produced this CD when I was living in Briagolong, a small country town in Victoria, Australia. I had recently finished working with ex Split Enz and Crowded House keyboard player, Eddie Rayner. Eddie and I recorded two CD's for Warners in Australia. This was a great experience, enabling me to put together this solo CD. Not only was I solo artistically, but I was also a single parent, raising my four year old daughter. Part of the credit for this record must go to the incredibly supportive people I had surrounding me in Briagolong. It was an absolutely magical experience and I think that this is reflected in the music. I hope that you enjoy this CD. Brian.

A Report on the Section symposium – Prague, October 2012
It was our good fortune and privilege to be able to participate in this very exciting World Congress last October in Prague. The Congress was organized without a flaw and with much local flexibility and resourcefulness under the theme of Focusing on Access, Quality and Human Care.
Our Section symposium was entitled "The UN Istanbul Protocol and the forensic documentation of Torture". Dr. Thomas Wenzel chaired the session, which included papers of his own and Dr. Lilla Hárdi's experiences with the Istanbul protocol. Dr. Federico Allodi gave a paper on the Health and Human Rights Education of Children. It was followed by the Section's general business meeting, attended personally or by proxy by 24 members. The outgoing chair, Dr. Lilla Hardi, reviewed some of the Section's accomplishments in the past triennium: the updating of the membership list and the Section's Manual of Procedures, our symposia in Marrakech, Buenos Aires, and Prague, and the enlistment of twelve new members from Argentina, Austria, Czech Republic, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Spain, The Netherlands, Tunisia and the United Kingdom.
With the helpful advice and encouragement from Prof. Afzal Javed, WPA Secretary for Sections, we organized and conducted the elections for a new Section Committee. The elected were: Dr. Federico Allodi (Chair), Dr. Lilla Hardi (Co-Chair), Dr. Joost den Otter (Secretary), Dr. Mariam Jiskhariani (Treasurer), and Dr. Dario Lagos (member).
Prague, a beautiful and most hospitable city, predictably turned out to be a fabulous place for speaking and thinking about Access, Quality and Human Care. As a bonus to the scientific and social programs, we used most of the opportunities to know personally our colleagues from across the globe and to create with them promising working relationships.

2. NYT Implausibly Says Stewart Has 'Deep Mistrust of All Ideology'
3. Pressed by CNN, Warren Contends Obama Had a Competitive Edge
4. NBC's Todd Apologizes for Saying Evangelical 'Hatred' for Dems
Media Credibility Plummets, Just 30%
"Over the last 10 years," the just-released biennial news consumption survey from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press determined, "virtually every news organization or program has seen its credibility marks decline" and "Democrats continue to give most news organizations much higher credibility ratings than do Republicans."
Based on past Pew polls, CNN touts itself as "the most trusted name in news," but the percent who "believe all or most" of what CNN reports has fallen 12 points, to 30 percent, since Pew first posed the question in 1998. Yet, in a sign of how far the news media have fallen in the eyes of the public, that puts CNN at the top of the 12 television news outlets analyzed, as well as above all the newspapers and online sources. Believability for ABC News, CBS News and NBC News is down six points over the past ten years, to 24 percent for ABC and NBC, 22 percent for CBS, but that's still better than the mere 18 percent who "believe all or most" of what they read in the New York Times.
The extensive polling conducted in May also discovered that the audiences for CNN and MSNBC, "which were heavily Democratic two years ago, have become even more so: fully 51 percent of CNN's regular viewers are Democrats while only 18 percent are Republicans. MSNBC's audience makeup is similar -- 45 percent of regular viewers of MSNBC are Democrats, 18 percent are Republicans" and "the regular audience for nightly network news also is now about two-to-one Democratic (45 percent vs. 22 percent Republican)."
Fox News Channel attracts a more balanced audience: "Currently, 39 percent of regular Fox News viewers are Republicans while 33 percent are Democrats; in 2006, the margin was 38 percent to 31 percent."
("Regular viewers of The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," not surprisingly, "are much more liberal than the public at large. More than a third of Colbert's regular viewers (36%) describe their political views as liberal and 45% of regular Daily Show viewers say they are liberal.")

The Pew numbers, in the massive report titles "Key News Audiences Now Blend Online and Traditional Sources: Audience Segments in a Changing News Environment," were released on Sunday, August 17: people-press.org
Results for this survey are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a nationwide sample of 3,615 adults, 18 years of age or older from April 30 to June 1, 2008 (2,802 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 813 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 269 who had no landline telephone)....Results for May 2008 Political/Believability Survey reported in Section 7 are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a nationwide sample of 1,505 adults, 18 years of age or older, from May 21-25, 2008.
The 130-page PDF of the full report: people-press.org
Traditional news outlets fared much better, however, that online ones:
Online news outlets are viewed with more skepticism than their print, broadcast and cable counterparts. Of seven organizations evaluated, none is viewed as highly credible by even a quarter of online users able to rate them.
Only Google News and Yahoo News -- which derive much of their content from traditional news organizations -- receive positive marks for credibility by most users who could rate them. Six-in-ten give Google News a rating of three or four, but just 13% give Google News the highest rating for credibility. Nearly as many give Yahoo News a rating of three (46%) or four (11%). AOL News gets a rating of three or four from fewer than half of internet users who could rate it (46%).
Online magazines Slate and Salon do not fare as well. Among those who could rate them, just 31% give Slate a three or four credibility rating, while 28% offer such similar ratings for Salon. These ratings are based on a relatively small group able to rate these outlets: 70% of internet users could not rate Salon, and 67% could not evaluate Slate.
When asked about the Drudge Report, four-in-ten internet users who could rate it give it a believability rating of three or four. Slightly more than a third (35%) said the same about the Huffington Post. More than half of internet users could not rate the Drudge Report (56%) or the Huffington Post (59%).
An excerpt from the "Media Credibility" summary:
The public continues to express skepticism about what they see, hear and read in the media. No major news outlet -- whether broadcast or cable, print or online -- stands out as particularly credible.
There has been little change in public perceptions of the credibility of most major news organizations between 2006 and 2008. Over the last 10 years, however, virtually every news organization or program has seen its credibility marks decline.
In 1998, for example, 42% of those who could rate CNN gave it the highest rating for credibility (four on a scale from one to four). That fell to 28% in 2006, and remains low in the current survey (30%). Credibility ratings for several other television news organizations -- including the three major broadcast news outlets -- also have declined since 1998. Comparable percentages say they can believe all or most of what NBC News (24%), ABC News (24%) and CBS News (22%) report (based on those who can rate those organizations).
Credibility ratings for the Fox News Channel have remained largely stable in recent years. Currently, 23% say they can believe all or most of what they hear from Fox, down slightly from 2006 and 2004 (25%).
About a quarter (27%) who can rate NPR give it the highest credibility rating, up five points since 2006. NPR is viewed as somewhat more credible today than in 1998 (27% vs. 19%)....
A quarter of those able to rate The Wall Street Journal give that newspaper the highest credibility marks. That is slightly more than say the same about their own daily paper (22%). The Journal also gets higher marks than The New York Times (18%) or USA Today (16%)....
Ratings for the Times have been fairly consistent since 2004, the first year the newspaper was asked about. Ratings for USA Today are somewhat lower now than they were in 1998 or 2000 (23% then vs. 16% currently).
Partisan Gap in Credibility Ratings
Democrats continue to give most news organizations much higher credibility ratings than do Republicans....Far more Democrats than Republicans also give believability ratings of four to NPR, PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, NBC News, and several other news organizations.
Republicans are substantially more likely to give the highest credibility rating to the Fox News Channel (34%) than are Democrats (19%). Fox ranks very low in credibility among Democrats; still, Fox's ratings among Democrats are much higher than Republican ratings for The New York Times (10% give it a four) or BBC (9%).
Partisan differences in credibility ratings for news organizations have fluctuated in recent years. In 2004, for example, there was a 19-point gap between Democrats and Republicans when it came to CBS News. That dropped to 11 points in 2006 and 8 points this year. The gap for ABC News fell from 18 points in 2004 to 9 points in 2006 and remains at 9 points this year. Most of the narrowing of the difference has been driven by Democrats lowering their estimation of each network's credibility.
By contrast, evaluations of The New York Times have become more divided. In 2006, 16% of Republicans gave the newspaper a top-credibility rating; that fell to 10% in the current survey. Democratic ratings for the Times have remained stable (23% top rating in 2006, 24% in 2008)....

NYT Implausibly Says Stewart Has 'Deep
The New York Times' liberal book critic Michiko Kakutani profiled Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, and managed not to notice he's a liberal (as are the vast majority of his fans). A picture of Stewart on the set took up the entire above-the-fold space of the Sunday Arts & Leisure section, under the headline: "Is This the Most Trusted Man in America?" She insisted: "For all its eviscerations of the administration, The Daily Show is animated not by partisanship but by a deep mistrust of all ideology." What show has she been watching?
[This item, by Clay Waters, was posted Monday on the MRC's TimesWatch site: www.timeswatch.org ]
An excerpt from the August 17 article:
The same liberal instincts that dominate Kakutani's book reviews are evident in her long, flattering profile of Stewart and the cast of the liberal Daily Show, of which Kakutani is clearly a fan.
It's been more than eight years since "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" made its first foray into presidential politics with the presciently named Indecision 2000, and the difference in the show's approach to its coverage then and now provides a tongue-in-cheek measure of the show's striking evolution....
Most important, at a time when Fox, MSNBC and CNN routinely mix news and entertainment, larding their 24-hour schedules with bloviation fests and marathon coverage of sexual predators and dead celebrities, it's been "The Daily Show" that has tenaciously tracked big, "super depressing" issues like the cherry-picking of prewar intelligence, the politicization of the Department of Justice and the efforts of the Bush White House to augment its executive power....
Following 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq, the show focused more closely not just on politics, but also on the machinery of policy making and the White House's efforts to manage the news media. Mr. Stewart's comedic gifts -- his high-frequency radar for hypocrisy, his talent for excavating ur-narratives from mountains of information, his ability, in Ms. Corn's words, "to name things that don't seem to have a name" -- proved to be perfect tools for explicating and parsing the foibles of an administration known for its secrecy, ideological certainty and impatience with dissenting viewpoints.
After chortling along with Stewart's "eviscerations of the administration," Kakutani implausibly turned around and claimed the show isn't partisan and takes equal aim at both right and left, a characterization not even ABC's Chris Cuomo, son of New York's Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo, buys. Cuomo said Stewart was "clearly a lefty." See: newsbusters.org
Kakutani's avowal would be unconvincing to even a casual viewer of the show:
For all its eviscerations of the administration, "The Daily Show" is animated not by partisanship but by a deep mistrust of all ideology. A sane voice in a noisy red-blue echo chamber, Mr. Stewart displays an impatience with the platitudes of both the right and the left and a disdain for commentators who, as he made clear in a famous 2004 appearance on CNN's "Crossfire," parrot party-line talking points and engage in knee-jerk shouting matches. He has characterized Democrats as "at best Ewoks," mocked Mr. Obama for acting as though he were posing for "a coin" and hailed MoveOn.org sardonically for "10 years of making even people who agree with you cringe."
END of Excerpt
For the entire piece: www.nytimes.com
Comparing Democrats to Ewoks is one way of saying they are wimps who lack the guts to go after Republicans like they deserve.
Here's a taste of Stewart's purported non-partisanship: Back in September 2006, Stewart called conservative journalist Robert Novak a "vampire demon" and an enemy of "American democracy." See: www.mrc.org
Pressed by CNN, Warren Contends Obama
On Sunday night's Newsroom program, CNN anchor Rick Sanchez pressed megachurch leader Rick Warren about Obama campaign charges that John McCain was cheating by not being in a "cone of silence" during Obama's interview. "Last night, I heard you say that McCain would be in a cone of silence, and then half-hour into the event, I hear our guys here at our political desk announced that McCain has just arrived at the worship center. And I'm thinking, you know -- hey, if he just arrived at the worship center, he couldn't have been in the cone of silence, right?" Warren acknowledged that McCain had not arrived when the Obama interview began. But later, Warren added that he given Obama advance notice of one of the questions, a question that the pastor didn't get a chance to tell McCain about beforehand.
[This item, by Matthew Balan, was posted Monday evening on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
After Warren give his initial answer about McCain being in a "Secret Service motorcade," Sanchez pushed two follow-up questions on the matter. In the first, he asked, "Did you think at the time -- when you said that, did you think he was in the cone of silence -- did you think he was in the building?"
Warren admitted in his answer that he had given Obama a bit of an edge with regards to one question on large-scale government aid to orphans:: "...I also told Senator Obama, since there was one question where I was going to ask for a commitment, it was the commitment later about would you allow a PEPFAR type president's emergency plan for orphans, and I thought if I was going to ask them for a public commitment, I ought to let him know in advance. I got to tell Barack Obama that in advance. I did not get to tell John McCain that in advance. It caught him by surprise, I'm sure."
Sanchez didn't seem to blink at the idea that Obama was favored. He stuck to the script that Obama was wronged and grew very specific in his point with his second follow-up: "I mean, just out of fairness. I mean, look, this is CNN. We try to be as exact as we possibly can. I just wanted to get it on the record, and, of course, there's going to be people out there, pastor, who are going to say, well, if he wasn't there, like a half-hour before the event started, what would have stopped him from watching an event that was on all three channels, on the radio, there's Blackberries, there's the Internet. There's everything else. So, I guess you don't know and I don't know whether he had the questions or not."
Despite this hinting at the possibility of McCain cheating, Sanchez concluded after Warren answered the third question, "Well, yes, and let's be fair. We called Senator McCain's office and they said that, no, we did not listen. We did not know. So what you're saying is part of that, we're just going to have to go on the honor system, and we certainly respect that."
The transcript of the relevant portion of the Sanchez and Warren segment, which began 16 minutes into the 10 pm Eastern hour of Sunday's Newsroom program:
SANCHEZ: ...Let me ask you about this. Last night, I heard you say that McCain would be in a cone of silence, and then half-hour into the event, I hear our guys here at our political desk announced that McCain has just arrived at the worship center. And I'm thinking, you know -- hey, if he just arrived at the worship center, he couldn't have been in the cone of silence, right?
NBC's Todd Apologizes for Saying Evangelical
On a special Saturday edition of MSNBC's Hardball, while previewing that night's presidential candidates forum hosted by evangelical leader Rick Warren, NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd seemed to suggest that it is not out of the ordinary for evangelical Christians to feel "personal hatred" toward a Democratic presidential candidate.
Todd, who is normally relatively balanced in his coverage of politics, once even admitting to being a "fan" of the MRC despite a history of working for liberal Democratic Senator Tom Harkin, made the uncharacteristic remarks as he contended that the forum would give Barack Obama an opportunity to keep evangelicals from feeling "personal hatred" toward him. Todd: "It's a huge opportunity for Obama tonight to at least not be hated by the evange-, look, these folks are not going to ever support him. They know what kind of judges he's going to appoint. It's going to be judges that evangelicals aren't going to be happy with. But they're not going to, if they don't have a personal hatred of him, then that's a good thing for Obama."
For Todd's comments about the MRC: www.mrc.org
[This item, by the MRC's Brad Wilmouth, was posted Monday on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
As reported by Mark Finkelstein of the MRC's NewsBusters blog, Todd read the NewsBusters posting of his quote and apologized via e-mail for the bad choice of words. As recounted by Finkelstein:
Todd today contacted NewsBusters, acknowledging:
"Clearly, I should not have used that word, but I was using it in terms of political hate, which I view as differently. But it clearly came across the wrong way. Message received."
Added Todd: "I deserve the hit. [My remark] reads awfully."
Finkelstein's post: newsbusters.org
Below is a transcript of Todd's comments from the Saturday, August 16, Hardball on MSNBC, substitute-hosted by Andrea Mitchell:
ANDREA MITCHELL: Let's talk about the subject of tonight's forum and the evangelicals, which could be a game changer in a close race. Certainly in Ohio in 2004, Karl Rove felt that the turnout, the enthusiasm of white evangelicals for George W. Bush made the difference in Ohio, which was the difference in the election. You've got the latest Pew poll finding, which is that 68 percent favor John McCain, 24 percent favor Barack Obama. Obama has the ability to talk about faith and social values, but you still have 12 percent of the people in the Pew poll thinking that he is Muslim. And he wants to counteract that. And he also has a certain number, you know, concerns still about Reverend Wright.

Customer reviews and testimonials Write a review
Heroes of Our FaithDiane Morrison, via The Good Book Stall
This is a collection of 366 short daily devotionals – each describing a martyrdom, prefaced by a scripture and accompanied by a prayer or quotation. When we read the word 'hero' we imagine someone who has performed mighty deeds, but the heroism of most of the people commemorated in this book is of a quieter kind, the heroism of standing firm in the face of an often horrific death. Names, places and dates are indexed and Patrick Sookhdeo has written a thoughtful foreword exploring what martyrdom means and how Christian attitudes to it have changed down the centuries. One story tells of a Korean pastor and his family placed in a hole dug by the communists and offered freedom in return for denouncing the gospel. Instead, the mother told the children that they would be dining with "the King of kings, the Lord of lords" that night and led them in singing a hymn while the hole was slowly filled in. Many of the witnesses became Christians. These 366 instances serve to represent the many hundreds of thousands around the world that have died and continue to die because they belong to Jesus, and whose stories remain unknown and go untold.

It's On: Yankees vs. Red Sox, Round TwoApril 15, 2008
Round Two! Ding, ding.
Let's get ready to rumble as the Yanks head back home from Tampa after their 5-3 win against the Rays, and the Sox get back after defeating the Tribe, 5-3, in Cleveland.
The two teams come into this series after going at it this past weekend at Fenway Park. The Red Sox dropped the opener, 4-1, but took the series 2-1 after winning the Saturday washout and Sunday's game, too.
Buchholz (0-1) vs. Wang (3-0) on ESPN2 at 7:05 PM ET will be a rematch of Friday night's game at Fenway. In that performance, Wang was almost perfect, pitching a complete game, a two-hitter, allowing just one run to score in the Yankees' 4-1 victory.
This will also be the first game since the Red Sox jersey (above) was dug out from the floors of The House That George Is Building.
Will it really make a difference? Was the curse the opposite? Were the Red Sox the team jinxed in this? Or was it the Bombers? Or the better question, is this nonsense all real?
Well, that's the beauty of baseball. This rivalry never gets hold. Even with the curse of the Bambino destroyed (if there ever was one), something will always come up. This is the greatest rivalry in sports, period. So sit back and enjoy.
Red Sox. Yanks.
Yankee Stadium, Wednesday night baseball at the Bronx.
Let's play ball, baby.

WFAA-TV reported on a story covering the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth's lawsuit against Chesapeake Energy. Committees representing the cities, which own the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, believe that Chesapeake Energy shorted the airport several million dollars.
A short time ago, it was predicted that drilling for natural gas on the airport property would bolster growth for well into the next century. However, the city is now claiming that Chesapeake Energy has stopped all drilling prematurely and has also ignored its financial obligations.
The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has relied upon this natural gas drilling profit for quite some time, using the funds for various renovations. The bonus money alone, not counting the regular income, was said to be $185 million.

I have been watching this huge consolidation in $GLD since December. Here's the chart posted then:
And here's an updated $GLD chart from this morning zooming in on the narrowing range:
$GLD topped on October 4th which just happens to be the same day that the $SPX bottomed.
Aside from the convenient symmetry there, I take note of this as we near the bottom trend line in $GLD. A break below that level, signaling a breakdown, may indicate bullish for equities.
