For decades, National Premium has been a hazy, distant memory. Stored-away memorabilia and faded beer ads were all that remained of its once-storied legacy.
That may change next year. Tim Miller, an Easton real estate agent, has acquired the trademark and has ambitious plans to bring the beer back to the Baltimore market by next baseball season. He has secured the formula and announced a new, spiffy logo. Capital investment and brewing are next.
National Premium's comeback will test the already-stretched trend of revived beer brands that includes Schlitz and Pabst Blue Ribbon. But if Miller succeeds, it would be the second iconic Baltimore beer brand, after National Bohemian, to return.
"Natty Boh is brewed out of North Carolina. There's nothing local about it but its heritage," Miller said. National Premium's "going to be a Maryland-owned beer again."
The original National Premium, with a recipe dating to 1934, was popular in Baltimore in the 1950s and '60s and was seen as a pricer, more critically acclaimed alternative to National Bohemian.
"My uncle would always bring a case when he was visiting. It was his way of saying, 'Thanks for having me over,'" Miller said. "For anyone from this region, it was considered something pretty special."
But like many popular beers, sales suffered as its original maker — the National Brewing Co. — was sold and then resold. Stroh Brewing Co., which bought the brand from G. Heileman Brewing Co., stopped making National Premium in 1996.
In 1998, what was then Frederick Brewing Co. brought National Premium back in cans with much fanfare, enlisting then-state Comptroller William Donald Schaefer for the initial promotional news conference. But the experiment didn't last long.
Miller, 43, whose family had been in the oil business, hadn't particularly been looking to bring back National Premium. By the time he had tasted it in the 1980s, the brew was far removed from the original formula. But he had wanted for years to revive a brand that had nostalgic appeal.
"Maybe I just live in the past," he said. "I thought, 'If I like this, I'm sure other people do.'"
He saw his opportunity in December, when Brands USA put up for auction the trademark rights to about 200 long-obsolete brands, including Victrola, the magazine Collier's and two beers, Meister Brau and National Premium.
The Meister Brau brand sold for $32,500. National Premium went to Miller for much less, though he declined to give the exact figure.
"I thought it was worth the risk," Miller said. "If it goes down the drain, I understand that. But the brand is too valuable."
Miller's bet that a beer with National Premium's history has appeal has precedent. He's following in the footsteps of entrepreneurs and beer corporations that have been hawking nostalgia for a decade to sell brands that had lost relevance. The trend started in the early 2000s, when Pabst Blue Ribbon was reclaimed by young drinkers who liked its lack of advertising and were turned off by the busty babes in billboards and loud TV ads that dominate mainstream beer marketing.
"The whole thing was about retro chic," said Benjamin Steinman, editor of industry newsletter Beer Marketer's Insights.
Pabst Blue Ribbon's sales surged — from 800,000 barrels shipped in 2000 to nearly 2.2 million last year, according to Beer Marketer's Insights.
Other heritage brands saw sales rise. Sales at Yuengling — at 182, America's oldest brewery — have doubled from 1 million barrels shipped in 2001 to 2.2 million last year, according to Beer Marketer's Insights.
Small-time entrepreneurs followed suit. In 2005, Rhode Islander Mark Hellendrung and a group of New England investors bought the rights to Narragansett, the Red Sox's official beer through the 1970s, and turned it into a profitable business. The company is expected to earn $7 million this year, Hellendrung said.
Recognizing a trend, Pabst Brewing Co., which had been in decline for years, moved to replicate Pabst Blue Ribbon's success and in 2007 relaunched Wisconsin's Schlitz and Hawaii's Primo. It also boosted its marketing for Texas' Lone Star and the Pacific Northwest's Olympia and Rainier beers.

Tennessee Names Kleppers Young Farmer of the Year
Greene County young farm couple Mark and Cindy Klepper were named Tennessee Farm Bureau's Outstanding Young Farmer and Achievement Award winners during special ceremonies at the Tennessee Young Farmer Summer Conference. The young row crop, cattle and poultry farmers from the Baileyton community, competed against 14 other county contestants in state competition held at the headquarter offices of the Tennessee Farm Bureau in Columbia, Tenn., to be named the state winners and have the opportunity to compete for national honors in January.
Mark and Cindy were named this year's winners based upon farm and financial records from the farm year 2013. The Kleppers farm 1700 acres in Greene County. Their major crops are corn, soybeans and hay. They are contract growers for Koch Foods where they raise more than 920,000 broiler chickens a year. They also have a beef cattle operation where they raise nearly 100 cows.
Both Mark and Cindy have been very active in the Young Farmer and Rancher program, as well as the Greene County Farm Bureau and their community. Mark has served on the Board of Directors of the Greene County Farm Bureau since 2008 and was state chairman of the Tennessee YF&R in 2009. Both are very active in their church. The Kleppers have two children.
The Klepper family receives a year's free use of a brand new Case/IH tractor up to 150 hours. They also receive $500 from Tennessee Farm Bureau, a fully loaded RTV to keep from Tennessee Farm Bureau, an insurance policy to cover the tractor for one year from Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee and a trip to the American Farm Bureau Convention in San Diego, California in January 2015, where they will compete for national honors with other state winners. The national winner will get their choice of a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado or 2015 GMC Sierra, courtesy of GM and paid registration to the 2015 YF&R Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Three national runners-up will receive a Case IH Farmall tractor, courtesy of Case IH, and a $2,500 cash prize and $500 in merchandise courtesy of STIHL.
Summer Picnic Still Costs Less Than $6 per Person
An all-American Fourth of July picnic of the nation's favorite foods including hot dogs, cheeseburgers, pork spare ribs, potato salad, baked beans, lemonade and chocolate milk will cost slightly more this year but still comes in at less than $6 per person, says the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Farm Bureau's informal survey reveals the average cost for a summer picnic for 10 is $58.72, or $5.87 per person. That's about a 5-percent increase compared to a year ago.
"Despite some modest price increases over the past year or so – meats, especially – most Americans should be able to find summer picnic foods at prices close to the averages found by our volunteer shoppers," said John Anderson, deputy chief economist at AFBF.
"Retail meat prices are higher compared to a year ago because the nation's cattle herd is now at a historically small level," Anderson said. "The total number of hogs farmers across the nation are raising is also down, which has contributed to higher retail prices for pork products."
Although consumers will pay a bit more for their Independence Day picnics, finding delectable meat cuts and ingredients for side dishes will not be a problem.
"As a nation, we continue to enjoy a consistent, high-quality supply of meats and poultry that can be grilled or prepared any number of different ways. The whole array of home-grown foods Americans typically enjoy in the summer also is in plentiful supply," he said.
AFBF's summer picnic menu for 10 consists of hot dogs and buns, cheeseburgers and buns, pork spare ribs, deli potato salad, baked beans, corn chips, lemonade, chocolate milk, watermelon for dessert, and ketchup and mustard.
A total of 84 Farm Bureau members (volunteer shoppers) in 25 states checked retail prices for summer picnic foods at their local grocery stores for this informal survey.
The July Fourth Picnic Survey is part of the Farm Bureau marketbasket series which also includes the popular annual Thanksgiving Dinner Cost Survey and two "everyday" marketbasket surveys on common food staples Americans use to prepare meals at home. A squad of Farm Bureau members across the nation checks retail prices at local grocery stores for the marketbasket surveys. AFBF published its first marketbasket survey in 1986.
AFBF is the nation's largest general farm organization with member families in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Learn more at http://facebook.com/AmericanFarmBureau or follow @FarmBureau on Twitter.

Governor Proclaims July Beef Month in Tennessee
Join Governor Bill Haslam and Tennessee's hardworking cattle farmers in celebrating beef this July.
More than just producing a tasty, nutritious product, the state's cattle farmers are stewards of the land and do their best to serve the community and care for their animals. The beef they serve to others is the same they serve to their families, so there's no cutting corners.
Tennessee cattle producer Mel Maxwell knows the value of working together with other producers.
"One of the strong traits of farmers is we're independent folks, but we've laid that aside, and we've banded together, establishing rules, so several small producers like myself can put together a nice truckload of cattle," says Maxwell of Cookeville, Tennessee.
Those truckloads of look-alike cattle mean bigger profits for producers and make cattle production big business in the state.
Maxwell, who used to travel the 100 miles from Knoxville to Cookeville every weekend to help his father with the family operation, eventually decided he loved raising cattle more than any other job. He's now a retired farmer, but still helps with the cattle operation and serves as president-elect of the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association.
Farm Watch receives donation from Farm Bureau
Friday, June 27, 2014
When the Dyer County Farm Watch was implemented in March of 2013, the pilot program was a formed partnership consisting of local farmers, landowners, agribusinesses, as well as governmental and law agencies.
Since it's inception more than a year ago, the watch has amassed over $23,000 in donations from individuals as well as businesses tired of falling victim to crime in rural areas of the county. The majority of those donations came starting in March of 2014.
"The first year was spent planning, organizing and getting all our paperwork in order. That in itself was a lot of work, but it's been well worth it," said local farmer and committee member Shane Burchfiel. "We've received several donations from individuals as well as businesses, and through those donations we've been able to be proactive in certain ways to prevent these crimes from happening."
The latest donation to the pilot program, a $15,000 gift from the home office of Farm Bureau Insurance in Columbia, will go toward the continued upgrades in technology to assist local law enforcement agencies in their effort to curb the theft and vandalism of farm equipment.
Coming forth with the largest donation to date, the state office of Farm Bureau Insurance was pleased to be able to lend a hand to aid in the efforts of those involved with the Dyer County Farm Watch.
"We feel like this program will help cut down on the crime that our farming communities are facing with thefts and vandalism. We are impressed with the work and organization of the Dyer County Farm Watch committee, and wanted to be a part of it. Farm Bureau Insurance is committed to the agriculture community and we are proud that we could help," said Kevin Howe, regional agency manager.
Dyer County Farm Bureau Agency Manager Kent Morris echoed the words of Howe, saying, "We are extremely proud that our insurance company recognizes the potential the Farm Watch program has to impact our local farmers and farming community. We pride ourselves in being a part of the local community and are glad our company is supporting this grassroots program."
Since being implemented in 2013, the pilot program has seen encouraging results as agriculture crime continues to decrease according to Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box.
"In the past year we've arrested between 20 and 25 criminals through the technology we've been able to use thanks to these donations," said Box. "The majority of those crimes would have gone undetected if not for the watch program, so it's definitely working the way it's supposed to."
Since the watch was initiated, agricultural crimes are being classified as such instead of how things were before when they were simply listed along with other crimes.
Box said that while there is still criminal activity going on when it comes to farm equipment, through the farm watch things are getting better and better all the time.
"Ag crimes are definitely on the decline in Dyer County, and the arrest and recovery rates are now higher than ever before," added Box. "The decline proves that the farm watch is working and we're going to continue to add security measures in the future to make sure those crimes continue to decline."
State Introduces New Mobile App for Farms, Farmers Markets
A "Pick Tennessee" mobile app is now available which can find and then map the way to locally grown farm products, farms and farmers markets. The free app, downloadable from both iTunes for Apple products and from Google Play for Android devices, is the latest advancement of Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Pick Tennessee Products promotion.
"I'm proud to introduce this new face of an old friend," Tennessee Department of Agriculture Commissioner Julius Johnson said. "Pick Tennessee Products has thrived for 28 years not only by providing real and valuable services, but also by having the flexibility to adapt to change—changing cultures, consumer demands, and technology."
"Our government services must anticipate needs not just for the current year, but for 15 years down the road. With the new Pick Tennessee mobile app, we now reach consumers where they already expect to find us—on their phones and other digital devices."
The Pick Tennessee mobile app allows users to search by item, like "apples," by region of the state, or season. The mobile app then provides directions to the chosen location through direct GPS mapping.
"Every Tennessee farmer or farm product producer who sells directly to the public can visit the Pick Tennessee Products website and apply to become part of this extraordinary free service," Johnson said. "If a farm is listed on Pick Tennessee Products, that farm is automatically available on the new Pick Tennessee mobile app for GPS mapping."
The Pick Tennessee mobile app can keep track of favorites and provides links to seasonal recipes, handy tips and fun facts, as well as the full Pick Tennessee Products website. Farm direct and local items on the app include options as varied as local fruits and vegetables, wineries, greenhouses and plant nurseries, Christmas tree farms, and local honey. The items can be searched by the farm where they're produced, or the markets where they're sold.
Pick Tennessee Products is the longstanding state campaign to connect customers to locally grown or made products and farm-related activities. The Pick Tennessee Products site, www.picktnproducts.org, also posts directories of the state's county fairs, equine trails and services, local meats and dairies, and agritourism farms and activities of all kinds.
Going live in 1995, the Pick Tennessee Products site was the state of Tennessee's first consumer Web presence and continues to be TDA's information gateway for consumers and for marketing related producer programs. The site, a completely free service, currently features close to 2,000 participating farms, processors and other ag and farm businesses, listing about 10,000 individual items. It attracted more than 300,000 visits last year.
"This entire promotion is a completely free service to our producers and ag industry, on the Web, in print and broadcast, and now, through the full range of social media," Johnson said. "Pick Tennessee Products now has a new look and, but more important, it provides greater services for our farmers and rural economies."

Ag Day on the Hill a Success
Tennessee lawmakers celebrated Ag Day on the Hill March 25 at Legislative Plaza in Nashville. Gov. Bill Haslam proclaimed it "Agriculture Day" in Tennessee as part of the annual national observance to recognize the important contributions of farmers and forestland owners to the state and nation.
Ag Day on the Hill activities included the popular milking contest between Senate and House members, a cattle-weighing contest, farm animals, crops and equipment, and new this year, a silent auction to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee and Tennessee's Ag in the Classroom educational program.
The event also featured for the first time the Drive to Feed the World Tour, a unique, interactive road show traveling the nation to heighten awareness about world hunger and sustainable food production.
Festivities kicked off at 8 a.m., with the milking contest taking place at 9 a.m. Special presentations to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee were presented at 10:30 a.m. The winner of the cattle-weighing contest, announced during the committee meeting, received a Pick Tennessee Products gift basket.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee also had collection bins available at Legislative Plaza throughout the day. Participants and visitors donated nonperishable items for donation. The Farm and Forest Families of Tennessee organization also presented a check to Second Harvest in honor of the milking contest winner as part of the day's festivities.
Tennessee has 76,000 farms representing 10.8 million acres in production. More than half of the state, 14 million acres, is in mostly privately owned hardwood forests. Tennessee's top agricultural commodities include cattle, soybeans, corn, poultry, cotton, timber, greenhouse and nursery products, dairy products, wheat, tobacco and hay. The industry has a $66 billion a year impact on the state's economy and supports nearly 337,900 jobs.
Tennessee Young Farmers Win National Honors
During the 95th Annual Meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Tennessee Young Farmers & Ranchers took home honors in the Achievement Award and Excellence in Agriculture competitions. Young farmers and ranchers from around the country competed for the awards by demonstrating knowledge of and achievement in agriculture, as well as commitment to promoting the agriculture industry.
Winners of the Young Farmers & Ranchers Achievement Award Brandon and Katherine Whitt of Rutherford County receive either a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado or 2014 GMC Sierra, courtesy of GM. The Whitts will also receive paid registration to attend the 2014 AFBF YF&R Leadership Conference in Virginia Beach, Virginia in February.
The Whitts farm over 1900 acres in the surrounding Blackman and Murfreesboro area of Rutherford County in an owner/partnership operation. Their major crops are soybeans, wheat, corn and strawberries. They market over 800 head of hogs a year mostly through retail outlets consisting of 4,000 pounds of meat monthly by on farm retail, restaurants and farmers markets.
Both Brandon and Katherine have been very active in the Young Farmer and Rancher program, as well as the Rutherford County Farm Bureau and community. Brandon has served as the state YF&R committee chairman, a member of the TFBF Board of Directors, American Farm Bureau PAL scholarship participant and held numerous county YF&R leadership positions. Katherine is active on numerous YF&R committees as well as several community organizations. The Whitts have three children with number four due in March.
The Achievement Award recognizes young farmers and ranchers who have excelled in their farming or ranching operations and exhibited superior leadership abilities. Participants are evaluated on a combination of their agricultural operation's growth and financial progress, Farm Bureau leadership and leadership outside of Farm Bureau.
Chuck Yoest and Jennifer Hatcher of Williamson County, Tennessee were named runners-up in the Excellence in Agriculture Award. They will a Case IH Farmall 45A, courtesy of Case IH, and $3000 in cash and STIHL merchandise, courtesy of STIHL.
Chuck and Jennifer, along with Jennifer's family, operate Hatcher Family Dairy, where they have their own creamery and sell seven different types of milk, butter, egg nog, gelato, farm fresh eggs and meat as well as sell those products locally to restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets. Chuck is employed with the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency as Big Game Coordinator and Jennifer is a veterinarian with her father in the family's Rock N Country veterinarian practice, and they are actively involved in their county YF&R program, their community and church.
The Excellence in Agriculture Award recognizes young farmers and ranchers who do not derive the majority of their income from an agricultural operation, but who actively contribute and grow through their involvement in agriculture, their leadership ability and participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations.
Michael Shirley of Rutherford County represented Tennessee in the Discussion Meet at the national level and after two rounds of competition, was selected to compete in the Sweet 16 round. The Discussion Meet simulates a committee meeting in which active discussion and participation are expected. Participants are evaluated on their ability to exchange ideas and information on a predetermined topic.

"The customer service was above and beyond! After I submitted my order I received a phone call from them saying they could adjust some touch ups that I overlooked. I really appreciated it!!!"
"This card turned out beautifully! I love the layout and the quality was excellent. The bright colors looked gorgeous against my photo."
"Love the design. Tiny prints was great to work with. I asked for feedback from their designers regarding a photo in my proof and was given actual feedback. They made the suggestion to change a photo due to resolution and I'm so glad. The birth announcement turned out better than I hoped. I will definitely be using them again."
"It is difficult to find beautiful classy girl announcements in any other color than pink. These are perfect if you aren't crazy about pink. The standard paper option is nice and thick. It looks great with rounded edges. I chose a sepia photo for it."
"Easy to personalise. Colours and design are fantastic on the finished product. Couldn t be happier. I love how the baby photo is the highlight on the card. You can also personalise the back of the card :-)"

It travels at high speeds; boasts a large-scale frame, center-fill seed hopper and fertilizer tank; provides precise seeding with an electronic metering system; and features a hydraulics system that maintains down pressure across the row units with enough flexibility to keep components from snapping in rough terrain.
"My corn plants are all identical in height—same size stalks," says Justin Heinle, who grows 17,000 acres of corn, sunflowers and spring wheat with his dad and brother near the North Dakota cities of Hebron, Hazen and Bismarck. "It does a wonderful job of placing the seed precisely."
Coming off of its first planting season in the U.S., the German-born Maestro planter has been reconfigured for American crop conditions. Farmers are saying it stands out because it is faster, bigger and more accurate than competitive equipment.
"They're trying to gain market share, so they put all of this innovation in there from the very beginning," notes Doug Goyings, an Ohio farmer who grows 3,300 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat about 35 miles east of Fort Wayne, Ind. He planted his 1,300 acres of corn with a Maestro this year.
Heinle's dryland ground produced 130 bu. to 150 bu. per acre this year, up 50 bu. or more per acre. Meanwhile, irrigated ground saw at least a 20-bu. bump. To be clear, plentiful rain was a
critical part of the equation.
In Ohio, Goyings expects a record corn crop with yields ranging from 185 bu. to 217 bu. per acre.
Field tests. Based on their experiences, the farmers say the Maestro orchestrates an impressive mix of planter attributes that work together to get the crop in the ground for optimized emergence. The machine is available in a 24-row 30" spacing configuration, and more widths and row combinations are planned, says Drew Gerber, sales and marketing product manager for Horsch.
First, the planter is fast. Most farmers can comfortably increase their average speed by 20% to 40% using the Maestro, Gerber explains.
Goyings averaged between 6½ mph to 7 mph, up from his typical 5 mph, using a Challenger MT765D. A tractor of at least 350 hp should be used with the Maestro, Gerber says. Hydraulic needs are approximately 30 gal. per minute, so most newer tractors should have no issues.
Heinle averaged 7 mph to 7½ mph this season, compared with the 5 mph to 5½ mph he used to travel with previous planters. He uses a Challenger MT845C with 450 engine horsepower and says he would have to slow planting speed with a less-powerful tractor.
Second, the planter is large. The seed tank holds 140 bu., and the fertilizer tank's capacity is 1,000 gal., Gerber explains. That allows Heinle to plant 250 acres to 300 acres at a 24,000 plant population without stopping.
For Goyings, it wouldn't hurt for the center-fill hopper to be smaller. That's because he uses six varieties of corn seed and doesn't require as much capacity. At the same time, the unit cleans out nicely so varieties aren't mixed together in the field.

BG133 is a double-sized poster advertising four consecutive Fillmore West mid-week and weekend concerts. A triptych in design, Griffin used hand-drawn color plates to make 3-D images project from the background, and the frames of the panel appear to be insect legs. A collaboration between Griffin and Alton Kelley, the poster's central figure may be the herald from Hell, a menacing image which contrasts with the bubble-infused, cartoon-style lettering of the side panels.
Before the dawn of computers and bar codes, Bill Graham Presents printed their own concert tickets, many of which are now considered exceptional works of art in their own right. Small facsimiles or derivations of the show's promotional posters, they were typically color-coded to indicate multi-night engagements and represent a bygone era of extended, one-venue engagements by major performers. So that Bill could reconcile sales each night, patrons purchased tickets at the venue box office and handed them right back over at the door, thus ending up in the archive as mint condition concert tickets. We may occasionally and in select cases offer for sale one-of-a-kind, extremely rare and valuable concert tickets in less than mint condition.

RHINELANDER, Wisconsin (WKOW) -- A judge has sentenced a former medical examiner, accused of taking body parts from autopsies, to a year in jail.
Traci England, 47, was sentenced Monday in Oneida County after pleading guilty last month to two counts of misconduct in public office.
England will also spend three years on extended supervision upon her release.
The former medical examiner for Oneida and Forest Counties took a plea deal in order to get charges of theft and obstructing an officer dismissed.
England previously told Oneida County investigators she kept a piece of cadaver spine during a 2012 autopsy in order to train her dog. She's also accused of keeping tissue from a body in another autopsy, performed the same day, in Forest County.

Jonathan Meades: The Joy of Essex
1 comment:
Wonder if any of your readers felt themselves attacked in Meades's twin blasts:
"Planners...like scum-of-the-earth politicians, are life's prefects. Social and/or emotional cripples whose mission is to tell us what to do, and what not to do." and
"Accessibility means nothing more than being comprehensible to morons"

One of the best ways I know to get something done that really matters in your business is to give it the prioritization it deserves.
But in order to do that effectively, you need to understand the role that "something" plays in your business and/or life. You may have come across this grid before, but it's always a good wake-up call:
Organizing what you do every day into these four categories takes less than 30 minutes to do, but it will completely change the way you prioritize your time. Depending on what your work or lifestyle is like, your grid will have different items in each category than mine does—fill it in for yourself, and then evaluate whether you're spending your time effectively. Usually people address what is urgent and not important (email) over what is important but not urgent (long-term planning)—is that true for you?
Let's say you've been meaning to develop a marketing plan, but you just haven't found the time. That to-do probably falls into the "Important, Not Urgent" category. There are two easy and very effective ways to change the way you're prioritizing your time, so that instead of dealing with a broken printer, you channel your energy into more important things like developing that marketing plan.
1. Schedule a "meeting" to work on your important but not urgent project.
Think about treating this new activity like you would an important client or prospect and schedule it in your Outlook (or Google, or whatever you use) calendar. If you had a meeting in your calendar with a client, or potential client, you wouldn't cancel it to check emails or answer a call. So start making appointments for your project—real appointments that you keep and don't allow yourself to become distracted from.
I put "time to write" in my Outlook Calendar as a 1-hour appointment two to three times a week and don't cancel the appointments and don't divert to phone or email… just as I would with a client. Breaking it down into multiple, manageable chunks over the week, then monthly and quarterly appointments as well, makes it easier to stick to the plan and stay productive.
Making one big appointment (i.e., many hours long) in the week is dangerous because if you do have to cancel it (for something that falls in the "Important, Urgent" category) you have now lost an entire week's worth of productivity, and anyway, long hours for anything new can be daunting, and can make working on your new habit unproductive and "un-fun".
2. Hold yourself accountable by hiring a consultant or by announcing your project to your company or social media followers.
Stop trying to go it alone! Accountability breeds urgency, so consider hiring a coach and/or announcing to your followers and friends your intended new path.
You can also work with another like-minded peer and form an accountability partner model. This method is highly effective as long as the two partners involved state the ground rules ahead of time. In other words, look at how often the two of you want to communicate, what level of information you feel you should be sharing. What are the consequences are if the deadlines are not reached? What are the rewards are if they consistently are?
Here are few habits I intend to change to help me transform both myself and my marketing through more writing:
- I personally enjoy writing on the weekend AWAY from the computer so I will commit to one hour of writing on the weekend
- Once a quarter I will get away to the mountains and commit to 3 hours of writing while away.
- I will start a "notes" file on my smartphone and tablet, and jot down thoughts/ideas when they come to me. I have a lot of ideas, so if by the end of the week I don't have at least 3–5 jotted down, I haven't been doing this!
Feel free to hold me accountable.
So what new habit do you want to integrate this quarter?

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Curt email@example.com The University of Wisconsin System's Board of Regents named Clayton State University President Thomas K. Harden the next chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay during a telephone conference meeting Friday. Harden will receive an annual salary of $216,000 per year, according to a statement released by the system. "I greatly appreciate the Board of Regents' vote to confirm me as next Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay," Harden said in the statement. "It will be an honor to join a great system of higher education, and a campus that has achieved so much." Harden, who has led Clayton State for nearly nine years, will remain at the Morrow campus through the end of the spring semester. He is set to takeover as Wisconsin-Green Bay's chancellor June 1. Mark Bradley, president of the University of Wisconsin System's Board of Regents, said he believed Harden will "help us sustain and enhance the UW System's commitment to academic excellence." Harden said he plans to meet with community members in Green Bay, and the surrounding area, to explore ways to enhance the institution. As Wisconsin's regents approved Harden's appointment, the Clayton State community was still digesting the idea that Harden will no longer be their president after May. Darius Thomas, president of Clayton State's Student Government Association, announced Harden's departure to the student senators. "When I announced it, the room was silent," said Thomas. "It's still very new and fresh to us. I don't think it's actually sunk in yet."

Best Gay Stories from Lethe Press, edited by Peter Dube, which includes my story Words Between Words, is available.
From Dube's introduction:
You will find here works with all sorts of styles, themes, formal strategies and genre markers and you will read accounts of yearning that are both "hot" (there's that word again) and cool, comical and tender, dark and soulful, along with narratives about sex, memory, love, loss, the pull of history and the treasures of friendship. Every one of them, I think, deserves your close attention and multiple rereadings. The authors have done remarkable work; work that is subtle, affirming, generous, challenging and—at least as importantly—that is well made.

Very good schedule of games on tap. We are off so I think I will go and watch the MLK vs. Tucker game. MLK will win.
October 29th, 2012

C'mon sportsnut
Why do you think MLK will win?
October 29th, 2012
11:43 am
Here is "my" analyis on the game between Tucker and ML King and why "I" believe Tucker should WIN !!!
Tucker's offense run plays very similar to Dunwoody which MLK had fits slowing down until late into the game when most players for DHS had gotten tired from playing both ways. Tucker Run game is much better and faster !!! They over pursue which causes lanes to open up on misdirection.
I have watched MLK play four times. Once Live against Cedar Grove and three times on film. I have said this before and I will say it again, their QB doesn't read the defense, he throw the ball down field and let's the WR's make a play on the ball. Which is not a bad idea because they have two very athletic guys out there who can catch. We have moved our best player #1 J. Williams to the FS spot and #5 D. Sanders will be helping to stay over the top and make plays on the ball.
MLK O Line hasn't blocked very well all season, they miss assignments and let LB's run freely to the backfield, and with the pressure we bring that QB will be running for his life. Every game they have bad snaps in shotgun, ball goes over the QB head. They won't be converting on 3 and 26 backed up in there own endzone.
Tucker will have at least 3 int's and 6 sacks.

Tiger4Life you must be a scout or a coach for Tucker. If you have so many answers to the football game. Tucker should be UNDEATED! They are the same team that lost to Stephenson. But we beat Stephenson by 21! Please explain this to me……

I'm not a scout, nor am I a coach although I could be. I just love the game of football and what it represents. It teaches you a lot about life and the different challenges and adverse situations that you may encounter.
Discipline, Dedication and Commitment to yourself and also your team. Knowing that the other 10 guys on the field are willing to sacrifice their body to make the play creates a bond that cannot be broken.
I like to know the competition, so I watch film. And if you have never been taught how, then you just watch where the ball is and see the end result of the play. I could break it down on how to if anyone would like me to, it make the game that much more enjoyable.

Miller Grove beat Stephenson 32-29 and then Tucker beat Miller Grove 28-13 just one week later.
It's all about the match ups created between personal.
I knew going into the Stephenson game it would be tough. They are really fast and athletic with there front seven and kinda weak/Inexperienced in the secondary. Our stong suit is the run, we had sucsess but not enough to win.
Arabia Mtn, Miller Grove and MLK all had sucsess against Stephenson with the pass. And when Tucker threw the ball ball that did to, just a little to late

It will be a win for Lowndes if they can stay within 21 points of Camden, especially with their two best players out with injuries. Lowndes is "open" November 9th, and hosts a 1st round game the next weekend. The two players should be back by the 2nd playoff game. Lowndes' post season still has a good chance to shine favorably for the Vikings!
If you go back and look at Todd's early season predictions, Lowndes was thought to at best finish 3rd in region 1-AAAAAA this year, and be the region's 3rd seeded team. Lowndes has clinched at least 2nd seed already. Pretty successful season in a rebuilding year!

Love your synopsis of King, but the thing that you don't know is that they had four starting linemen out at some point during the season. Left tackle with a broken foot, left guard torn ACL, center sprained ankle. So they had young guys playin. Ask Stephenson how they looked last week.over 500 yards of total offense..
October 29th, 2012
10:00 pm
And to be honest, they may want to take #5, #1, #25, #13, #9, #70, and #55 off of defense or get them as many breaks as they can because MLK's no huddle is gonna have them exhausted by the end of the 3rd quarter. Tucker doesn't have a chance against that potent offense. They can score quick or run it down your throat. Pick your poison…

@mr. Johnson
The same potent offense that scored
23 on Stockbridge
18 on SWD
24 on Arabia Mtn
That potent offense?
Pick your poison 0_0 more like choosing between cow dung or horse dung, the only difference is one stinks worst than the other.

Sure do wish that GPTV could come to Middle Ga this week and see some real GA FOOTBALL between Northside and Warner Robins.It is a shame that only Atlanta area schools are shown on GPTV.There is also a great game in FT.Valley between Peach and Carver of Columbus.Hey GPTV,what's the deal?Is the rest of state off limits or should it be ATLPTV?Just asking?

You must haven't watched King lately…
40 on Dunwoody
51 on Lakeside
49 on Stephenson
Yea, that potent offense…
They are hitting their stride at the right time and all the guys that were injured are back healthy…
October 30th, 2012
9:55 am
Mr. Johnson,
First I would like to say good morning to you
Now lets tackle the issues…
Lakeside gives up an average of 45.5 ppg. They are 1-7 and the one team they did beat is Dunwoody by a score of 28-14. MLK stuggled with Dunwoody and scored late in the game after most of the 2-way starters had gotten tired. Don't forget they were losing at halftime So that discredits two of the three you named.
I will admit the score in the Stephenson game kinda suprised me, but it's a rival game and anything is posible. You guys put up big numbers on them last year. They ran the same defense as last year and you guys it figured out.
So out of your 8-0 record MLK has two quality wins over SWD and Stephenson.

what about wins over 7-1 Stockbridge, a 5-3 Mays team who may actually be in the playoffs, and a convincing win vs. Arabia who gave Tucker fits with their passing game and King is definitely better at passing than Arabia???? You better hope they don't keep #1 at FS the whole night…..
October 30th, 2012
11:44 am
Stockbridge is in a lower classification, not saying they are an inferior team, but thats a game you should win!
A late score put you over Mays by 6 points, that game could have went either way.
We gave up two touchdowns on Defense against Arabia Mtn. passing attack and two against Miller Grove. Who both had great succsess passing against Stephenson.
I will be there sitting on the 50 with my hot coco
October 30th, 2012
12:21 pm
All I want you to do is look at the stats for Dekalb County and the state of georgia the past 3 seasons and you will see who had the best passing game. It wasn't Arabia or Miller Grove. MLK is more precise than either of them…. You will see.
October 30th, 2012
2:20 pm
Hey guys don't stop I am loving this.
October 30th, 2012
3:06 pm
I'm still waiting sportsnut to tell me why he thinks MLK is going to win. I don't make predictions w/o having some insight first.
October 30th, 2012
3:24 pm
If th adjustments you spoke of work against MLK work and Tucker wins, I believe Tucker will be the favorite to win title. When a team knows what is coming at them and makes the adjustments and win, you have very good coaching.
October 31st, 2012
11:10 am
If I'm not mistaken Tucker played a lower classification team in Cedar Grove and they struggled with Arabia and lost to Stephenson and both teams were destroyed by MLK. TUCKER can put whomever they want in the secondary and they still wont be able to stop King. If they want to drop 8 in coverage they will get pounded and if they blitz like they have all year they will be in trouble because they don't cover well..

Well too Bad tucker Fans Youu didn't get What youu thought u was MLK is the best N y'all just witness it #LionSNation

one of the first things you need to make sure you gem for is Spell Pen. I know for a DK it might seem counter-intuitive to gem Spell Pen, but we need to hit the (i think) 195 cap to make sure that our Diseases and such aren't resisted.
After the Spell Pen cap, gemming for Str is usually the best way to go, especially if you've got a good bit of PvP gear.

If you're a JCer, you can use one Chimera's eye and make it a stormy chimera's eye (+84 spell pen), put one blue spell pen gem in there (can't remember what it is) and do the spell pen cloak enchant and you'll be at 210 spell pen and it'll line up with the blue sockets on your legs and I believe hands allowing you to get socket bonuses.

Asha- Suha, where are you? Accha, hmm. Okay. Have you talked to Acp sir? Accha listen, tum aise kaise byabahaar kiya tumhaari senior ke saath? Pehle tum apne par shaq layi uski baad tum iss sab ko itna muskil me daal diya! Kyon? Nahi, sorry bol ne ki koi faida nahi hai. Tumko maine acchi tarase jaanti hoon. Humesha tumhaari maan aur gurba(pride) duty se aage rakhte ho. Senior ko respect karne chaahiye tha! Nahi meine koi baat nahi soonoongi. Meine rakhti hoon. Bahut gusse hoon tumhaari par.
(She cuts the call)
Daya- Arre Asha woh ek bacchi hain! Kyon�
Asha- Daya, mei uski mausi hoon. Uski manners chaahiye tha! Tum sabko use kiya, provoke kiya hain. Woh ek tadaan aur artless ladki hain!
Daya- Koi baat nahi! (Smiling)
Asha- Daya, itne saal ki baad mei tumhaare saath tumhaara gaari mei investigation karne ke liye jaa rahi hoon! (Smiles, reminiscently as she remembers her times with the CID) Itna yaaron wupas aa rahe hain mere pass!
Daya- Haan, bilkul yaad hain! Tum toh humaare team mei paanch saal ke liye thi, aur toh aur ek baar Acp sir ne tumhaari naam mention kiya tha ek women's day bravery award function mei!
Asha- Ha? (She laughs)
Daya- Anyway, chalo kaam aa gaya hain. Mera informer kaha hai yeh hain Karamnath ka ghar. (He points to a house as he brings his car to a halt)
Asha- Daya, woh darwaaza�
(They see the front door open wide)
Daya- Haan, kuch toh hai. Chalo hum dekhte hain.

Abhi- Haan sir.
(Abhi leaves. Freddy comes in.)
Sir, woh Jaipur ki CID ki Acp aa gaya hai.
Acp- uska saath jo laash hai woh lab mein bhej do aur unhe yahaa aane do.
(Then to Vivek and Tasha)- Tum dono lab mein jao aur dekho Salunkhe saab kya bolte hai. (A sudden thought comes to his head) Tasha, jo aurat ki nishan Abhijeet mile the woh nishaan aur yeh laash ki nishaan match karwao.
(Vivek and Tasha leave)
(Acp Ajay enters. He shakes hands with Acp Pradyuman)
Acp- Aap Suhaani ki dost?
Ajay- Actually woh mere pehla mangekaar thi. Baad mein unavoidable circumstance mei meine Mona ko shaadi kiya aur Jaipur chale gaye thei.
Acp- CBI mein tum dono kaam kiya tha?
Ajay- Haan�
Acp- Anyway. Tum kaho. Yeh Mona ko khoon kaise hua aur kaun kiya?
(Ajay tells him what he had already told Suhaani)

What an awesome day!
First, a little info for those who don't know me personally. I work with children part-time during the week. One of them is a year 3 year-old boy named Nate. He loves music and trains and has an awesome family. It was a beautiful day today in Atlanta, so we went to the Candler Park after school. I also decided to bring a box of canvases covered in mastic texture to sand down while Nate played in the park.
Nate has actually been an enthusiastic helper before. He loves learning how things work and explaining them to others. Last week, he helped me make 18 pin-back buttons and counted everyone of them. I thought he'd get bored after the third one, but he just wanted to keep going.
Today, he wanted to know how to use the sand paper I was working with to smooth my textured canvases. He helped as much as he wanted to for a while and then continued running up and down the hill and collecting sticks (cuz that's what 3 year-old's do). As I continued sanding and watching Nate, a group of girls gathered around my park bench and wanted to know more about what I was doing and the kind of art I made. A couple of them wanted to help and asked if they could try sanding the canvases themselves. I said "sure" and, before I knew it, I was surrounded by a group of awesome 9 year-old girls sanding away.
Now, I'm not condoning child labor, nor am I using it. I just love the natural, spontaneous curiosity that kids possess. I didn't ask them to help, but they just started helping. Just seeing this random group of girls learning something new about art and handy-work was awesome and empowering in a way. I wish I could have stayed and let them each paint something on them. Even if they didn't get to paint on them, the paintings that I'll put on them will be extra special because these girls helped make them. Thanks, girls! You rock!
This also made me miss teaching art with kids. I've been dreaming of hosting an all-girls creative painting group for ages 8-12 for months now, but today kicked it into full gear. I'll keep you updated on it once I find a venue to host it, if you are interested.
(P.S. If your child is in this picture and you don't agree with them being on my blog, please politely email me [email@example.com] and I will remove the pictures from this post. I just loved this moment of my life and thought it would be a cool thing to share with my fans.)
I had a wonderful and complete day of painting today! It felt great and I wanted to show you two of my favorite pieces from today.
Also, I'll be at the Candler Park Art Gallery's artist market on Saturday during the Little Five Points Halloween Festival. It's located at Oakdale and McLendon near the Candler park MARTA station, so please stop by on your way to the festival. I'll be there with my paintings and clothes.

Bon Appétit provides an extensive and ever-changing selection of delicious pastries at every breakfast. The pastries range from decadent to classic, and they may provide you with the little extra kick you need to jump start your day. As a regular breakfast goer and lover of pastries of any kind, allow me to offer my musings on the baked goods of breakfast.
My friend and I live for croissants at breakfast. The Caf seems to anticipate our need for a pick-me-up in the middle of the week, for they always appear about Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The croissants are flaky on the outside, perfectly dough-like on the inside and light and buttery all the way through. They may be the best the Caf has to offer.
Banana and Other Breads
Daily, Stav Hall appeases hungry students with a variety of tasty breads, including cranberry-nut bread, blueberry bread and the old standby, banana bread. The banana bread is good, even if it is occasionally stale or dry. One thing I do appreciate in the bread is the absence of nuts.
If you do like nuts in your breakfast breads, try the cranberry bread. It is also usually moist and has the delightful tartness of the cranberries.
The blueberry bread is on par with the other two, but isn't served as often.
There is always a scrumptious selection of muffins in Stav Hall that cater to any appetite. I know people who live for the chocolate chip muffins, but they are about as common as the ivory-billed woodpecker. When they are served, people tend to hoard. So come early, but remember that other breakfast attendees may enjoy a chocolate chip muffin too.
Other excellent selections include the chocolate-chocolate chip muffins, lemon-poppy seed-almond muffins, banana-chocolate chip muffins, and some other weird looking muffins that I have not had the courage to try. The crème de la crème of muffins, in my mind, is the seasonal pumpkin-raisin muffin. The pumpkin taste balances nicely with the bursts of raisin flavor in the muffin. This is like great pumpkin bread packaged in an easy to carry form. It is like Thanksgiving - - for breakfast.
The muffins are usually delicious and never dry. However, if you have an aversion to grease, beware, for these are often the greasiest of the breakfast pastries.
Donuts are the guilty pleasure of office workers and police officers everywhere, mostly because they are like dessert for breakfast. Occasionally on Fridays Stav Hall rolls out the donuts so that St. Olaf students may indulge in them, too. There are chocolate cake with chocolate frosting donuts, maple bar donuts and donuts that have the maple bar base with chocolate frosting. The maple bar ones, in my mind, are better: The base is not as sweet and it balances nicely with the gooey frosting on top. Also, the donuts often have vibrant sprinkles that are thoughtfully coordinated with the colors of the season.
Picking up a streusel in Stav is like winning the lottery. These confections combine the wonderful buttery goodness of the croissants with rich cream cheese filling and fruit. Simply wow. Fans of chocolate may also enjoy the chocolate versions of these treats, which make rare appearances. Breakfast pastries really don't get better than this.
Cinnamon Rolls
The cinnamon rolls are the one disappointment in the bunch. It really isn't that they are not good, its just that they aren't all that they could be. If I wake up at 7 a.m. to be all that I can be, I would like my breakfast pastry to follow suit. This little bun needs some cream cheese frosting, more cinnamon filling and a softer outer shell. Really, this should aspire to be a mini version of the rolls served in the Cage.
This is by no means an exhaustive survey; Stav Hall does an excellent job changing up the menu everyday. There is something for every type of pastry lover. So go to breakfast and try a few - and decide if you like a croissant or a donut in the morning with your coffee.

While South African wines are enjoying some long-overdue recognition in the wine world, most of them remain virtually unknown to the casual wine drinker.
But whenever a wine flies under the radar screen, value hunters should take a closer look. In the case of South African wines, you can find distinguished sips at bargain prices.
More good news: The country's winemakers do great things with Chenin Blanc, Sauvingon Blanc, and Shiraz -- all perfect patio sips as barbecue season hits full swing. And as the dog days of summer approach, you'll really appreciate the whites on those sticky evenings when it's too hot to think about firing up the grill. That's when a salad and one of these bright, refreshing wines will be just the ticket.
In general, South African wines lean more towards Europe than the New World when it comes to style; that means most won't be heavily fruit-forward or overly oaky -- expect a little more subtlety in your sip. Also, reading the label's fine print can pay off: Regions to look for include Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Constantia.
Chenin Blanc
If you've ever tasted a flatly fruity Chenin Blanc and said "not for me," you should give this grape another go in its South African expression. While these bottles offer plentiful melon and tropical fruit flavors, their underlying mineral notes add sophistication. Lively and refreshing, they'll go well with fish on the grill -- especially if it's sparked with a little lemon and herbs. This wine will also make a lovely aperitif to sip before dinner with a few nibbles; try a glass with slices of melon wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto.
Sauvignon Blanc
Although Chenin Blanc is historically the white-wine grape of South Africa, it's the country's Sauvignon Blancs that are especially making a splash among the world's wine lovers. This grape is particularly well-suited to the climate and terrain, and winemakers are coaxing it into bottles that brim with lively herb and citrus notes.
More easygoing than all-out zippy New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, but more lively than French versions from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, South African Sauvignon Blancs offer a great balance of acidity and fruit. For a sublime summer pairing, grill up a colorful array of summer vegetables to serve alongside a fresh tomato salad, a selection of cheeses (goat cheese and Gruyerè will go especially well), and plenty of crusty French bread from the Publix bakery.
Shiraz is on the march in South Africa, leaping from sixth place in overall vines planted in the 1990s, to second place (after Cabernet Sauvignon) in 2005; indeed, the wine press considers this grape to be the red-wine variety to watch. South African bottlings produce beautiful dark-fruit qualities, plus hints of chocolate, spice, and a warm, earthy appeal. Yes, you get a lot of bang for your buck with these!
Attention meat lovers: This is your pick with burgers, chops, sausages, and steaks hot off the grill. The wine meshes especially well with anything flavored with garlic, onions, and herbes de Provence.

In theory I hate strapless dresses, but this I adore and to be fair no one does structural draping better than Donna Karan. Midnight blue is also one of my favourite colours…I really need a good reason to own something like this, right now all I have is Christmas/Xfactor Final drinks at my besties. Upgrade required. Please.
