Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since 2009 the biannual International Conference on Foodomics (www.foodomics.eu) is the scientific forum where academic and industrial scientists involved in food and nutrition research discuss about the most recent advances in the "omics" approach. Since that time, foodomics has been considered the holistic approach for discovering: (i) foods, food components and nutraceuticals; (ii) the nutrients bioaccessibility and their mechanisms of action; (iii) the role of digestion and of microbiota on the nutrients fate; (iv) nutrition and diet in clinical sciences. Aiming at this objective, food genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, together, provide the broadest vision about the link between nutrition and health. The science behind this innovative perspective requires a multi-disciplinary integration, not easy to achieve, because food technologists, nutritionists, chemists, clinicians and other specialists still lack a common ground for their interactions. This special issue aims to publish original research papers, innovative application results, technical articles, opinions, and reviews on different aspects of foodomics.

| Chic Gaylord
There was a real famous guy in the sixties named Chic Gaylord. As some of his customers say, he had the hands of a craftsman, the eye of an aartist and the mind of a scientist. He majored in art in college and after graduation worked as a cartoonist for the famous Peter Arne, dean of American cartoonists. He finally went on his own and in his shop on West 47nth St NYC he began to develope the finest holsters for law enforcement people. He never advertised as his fame came from word of mouth. He also became known in those days to be the top man in combat shootng. He made holsters for every type situation and all type pistols. He once put on a demo with 17 weapons concealed on his body. I had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times when a friend in law enforcement asked me to go. He was one of the early exponents of wax bullets and designed a complete combat course for them so it could be practiced indoor. Speaking of wax bullets, a very good friend of mine pulled a funny one on his wife wwith them . He was shooting them in the basement at targets. Over to one side his wife was leaning over the tub and he let her have one on the butt. Well as soon as it hit he realized he shouldnt have done it. It didnt break the skin but she had quite a welt and didnt talk to him for days. Anyway, a few friends have some Gaylord holsters and wouldnt sell them for anything. Im not sure if Chicck is still alive |

Never thought I'd look like Chic , but now I do. I have two of his holsters still, an ankle one for a J frame snub, which is a good , but not the best of it's kind I've seen. His plain Speed Scabbard I have for a 2.5" Model 19 is my prized holster for this concealment gun. I bought it in 1966 when I was assigned to Military Intelligence. Although I had to carry a 2" Model 10 in it on duty assignments I kept it to this day in fine shape.The stitching is still tight! What Austin politely has not shared, is that Chic was quite the "piece of work" in his demeanor. Just imagine a 'high speed low drag' wise guy in NYC who all the "princes of the city" (and every wet work spook in free world) cow- towed to!!!! Not only to get the leather of their dreams , but to learn his "speed shooting" secrets. I even got him to show me with his beloved High Standard Sentinel snub .22!!!!! Remember how he liked those Austin? :P

Gordon, you are sure bringing my memory up to date. I had many people in law enforcement in those days who had some of Chics holsters and would never part with them. Gordon, the things that were in the 50s & 60s could never happen today and Im happy to say that we were around to enjoy them. Austin |

Funny thing about the Hi Std Sentinal was when I was really connected with Hi Std and pres Bill Donovan. Id walk into his office holding a Sential by the front sight and dropping it on his desk, ask him, do you fix this junk here.? He would reply, damit Austin, if it wasnt for this Sentinal you wouldnt have the Supermatic or Citation, and I would just smile in agreement. Its a fact that for every Supermatic he sold he sold 100 Sentinals. Bill Donovan was quite a guy as was most of the people at Hamden. |

I actually went to Chic's place in Manhattan in the early 1960's. He made me a little gem to hold my Colt Agent for the sum of $25. He was one of the first to angle the holster making for a much faster draw. I wonder what ever happened to that holster.

Gaylod was quite a guy. I remember talking to him a few times on the phone when I was playing around making holsters for myself, and a few cop friends. He spent a lot of time talking about design, the benefits of heavy thread for stitching, and properly molding a gun to a holster. In those days, he used real guns to mold the holsters. Today, it's just not possible with all the different manufacturers, models, and variations of the same model available. Not many people realize it, but Chic passed away about 10 years ago. He was in a nursing home until his death. One of his good friends, Lefty Lewis, a retired NYPD Detective, and holster maker, used to visit him regularly. Chic certainly was the father of the concealment holster as we know it today. Lou |

Lou, I had heard that Chick died. It happens to us all at some time and as I always say, try to always do your best in all you do so you are remembered for something important. Chic sure did that. I knew quite a few cops that had his holsters and raved over them. I believe it was Charlie Smith (FBI) who took me to meet Chick once. Charlie was another guy who did his best. When he retired from the FBI he got the job at S & W running the Police School. While he was in the FBI he ran the Police training at Peekskill N>Y> and had me come up there quite a few times. The first time he told me to bring my tool box and when he introduced me to the class, he told them I had my toolbox and this was their chance to get an action job quick. I waS busy all day and didnt bring the tools again as I wanted to shoot. He also ran the range at 69th St in Headquarters. The range was on the 11th floor in a converted fur storage pat of the bldg which was insulated well. One day while there he told me he had a surprise for me and he took me in one of J.Adger Hoovers officers and sat me down at his desk. Charlie was quite a guy too and I miss him. I can go on a while longer but enough for now. Austin

Austin, That's a blast from the past. I knew Charlie Smith too.. He bought quite a few holsters from us in the 70's.. He did an article in the early Combat Handguns on our holsters back then. Great guy! Lou |

Austin, what can you tell us about the guy whose leather you used to sell in your shop? In '85 I bought a holster and mag pouch from your display at Second Chance, they are marked JGA. The folloing year I bought a second mag pouch and a holster/magpouch for my Browning. I recall that you said JGA was a retired NY cop. That stuff was and is good leather. I still have it all except one of the .45 mag pouch, which I hate myself for losing last summer. Replaced it with two of Lou's. |

| Meeting Chic
I had the pleasure of meeting Chic in June of 1991. He was residing in a care home on Long Island. I spent about three hours interviewing and visiting with him. This research became the basis for a three part article i did not Combat Handguns. Chic lived hard and in many ways, life was not good to him. However, he left a lasting mark having been the father of modern concealment leather. Heres to you Chic! Rob |

Zimbabwe votes on new constitution today
Prime Minister Tsvangirai's supporters attacked
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AFP) — Zimbabweans prepared yesterday to cast their ballots in a long-awaited referendum on a new constitution, with tensions running high on the eve of the vote over fears of political violence.
The campaign, which has been blood-free by Zimbabwean standards, was marred by an attack yesterday on seven members of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) by suspected supporters of veteran President Robert Mugabe.
The MDC members were assaulted as they put up posters in Harare's oldest township, Mbare, urging voters to approve the proposed constitution in today's vote.
The new constitution would lay the groundwork for watershed elections due in July that would end an often acrimonious, four-year-old power-sharing deal between Mugabe and his rival Tsvangirai.
Although the draft has the backing of both 89-year-old Mugabe and Tsvangirai, 61, and is expected to pass easily, tensions between supporters of the two main parties are seething after a series of bloody elections in the crisis-weary country.
"The attacks are a clear testimony that ZANU-PF (Mugabe's party) wants to embark on acts of violence," said MDC spokesman Douglas Mwonzora.
Two of the seven MDC members were seriously wounded in the attack, and parliament candidate Sten Zvorwadza was hit in the neck with a bottle and punched, he said.
A BBC crew filming the campaign said it was also attacked.
Police however said the incident was staged, questioning why it was not reported to authorities.
"This is clear testimony of a dramatised incident to provoke the anger of the residents and then they begin to tarnish the image of the country . This is quite disturbing. It's unfair," police spokesman Oliver Mandipaka told AFP.
Assistant police commissioner Lee Muchemwa later warned that the force would take action against those involved in "political machinations".
"May I warn all those belligerent forces bent on tarnishing the image of the Zimbabwe by stage-managing purported incidents of violence that as police we are aware of their political machinations and will decisively deal with them according to the country's law," Muchemwa told reporters.

Bonnies Defeat Dukes in Shootout at Olean
Feb. 2, 2013 OLEAN, N.Y. - Eric Mosley scored 14 points and Jordan Gathers added a career-high 13 as St. Bonaventure (10-10, 3-4) hit four late free throws to pull away for a 68-60 win over Duquesne. The Bonnies hit 12-of-22 3-point attempts in ending their home losing streak at four. Sean Johnson, Kadeem Pantophlet and Jeremiah Jones had 11 each for the Dukes (7-14, 0-7) who dropped their ninth in a row and seventh-straight in Atlantic 10 play. Duquesne got two stops down four in the final 2:24, but couldn't come up with the rebound twice as the Bonnies, who outrebounded the Dukes 35-24, upped the lead to six on both occasions. SBU, which led from the 16:01 mark of the first half on, led 64-60 with 36 seconds left when Youssou Ndoye missed and Demitrius Conger, who scored 10 of his 11 points in the second half, tracked down the rebound, was fouled, and converted the one-and-one. Duquesne, which went 11-of-24 from the 3-point arc, missed three shots on its next possession - 3-point attempts by Jerry Jones and Derrick Colter and a two by Johnson before Charlton Kloof rebounded, was fouled, and made a pair of free throws for the final margin. "That team won a championship last year," said Duquesne head coach Jim Ferry. "Their guys know how to win down the stretch." St. Bonaventure closed the first half with an 8-0 run to take a 39-28 lead. Kloof started the run with a 3-pointer at the 1:50 mark and Gathers, who entered the game with nine points in six conference games, ended it with another three with two seconds left.
"Their non-scorers made shots in the first half," said Ferry. "I thought we defended them the right way. You've got to give them credit. They stepped up and made shots." Duquesne, which went 6-of-9 from the arc in the first half, had just two two-point field goals in the opening 20 minutes. The Bonnies were equally hot from beyond the arc, hitting 7-of-12 first half attempts. St. Bonaventure shot 44.0 percent to 43.5 percent for Duquesne. The Dukes, who turned it over 10 times in the first half, had just one turnover in the second. Duquesne returns to Pittsburgh for back-to-back home games against George Washington (Wed., Feb. 6) and Xavier (Sat., Feb. 9 at CONSOL Energy Center). Both games will tip at 7:00 p.m. NOTES The last time Duquesne opened Atlantic 10 play 0-7 was in 2001-02 (0-8) in head coach Danny Nee's first season ... the last time DU lost seven conference games in a row was 2005-06 & 2006-07 (last nine games of 2006 under Nee and first one of 2007 under Ron Everhart) ... DU's nine-game overall losing streak is its longest since 2005-06 (twice during a 3-24 season). St. Bonaventure has now won five in a row over Duquesne at Reilly Center. Six-ten sophomore Derrick Martin gave the Dukes a boost off the bench with two blocks and two steals in a career-high 15 minutes ... Martin, who played in only three of DU's previous 15 games, also altered a number of shots in his first appearance since Dec. 22 at Louisiana-Lafayette. Duquesne is now 6-4 when making nine or more 3-pointers. Both the Dukes and Bonnies had more 3-pointers than two-point field goals (12-to-10 for SBU & 11-to-9 for Duquesne). |

The case for Victoria's bars to go smokefree has gained further weight following the release of a new study showing smoking bans have not harmed business in New York hotels and restaurants.
Quit Victoria said the research provides more evidence for the Victorian Government to extend current smokefree legislation to all pubs and clubs. Currently, state governments in South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT are proposing pubs go smokefree.
Quit Executive Director Todd Harper says a study published in the June 2003 issue of the Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarterly* shows smokefree dining regulations in New York State were not associated with adverse economic outcomes in the state's restaurants and hotels.
The study assessed changes in taxable sales and employment in restaurants and hotels in five locations in New York State that have implemented smokefree dining regulations since 1995. The authors conclude that business managers should welcome the opportunity to protect the health of their workers and patrons by going smokefree - without fear of lost patronage or revenue.
On May 1 this year, New York City extended its smokefree laws to cover all bars and nightclubs.
Mr Harper says the new study adds further weight to the push to extend smoking bans to all Victorian bars and clubs.
'Here is yet another study that shows that the doom and gloom claims by some elements of the hospitality industry that smoking bans will harm business are based on fear, not objective facts'
'Research has shown that 63% of Victorians would support a ban on smoking in pubs.'
'Extending smokefree legislation to include pubs would make our pubs and clubs more enjoyable places for the 80% of Victorians who don't smoke, and of course create safe working environments for the staff who work there.
Mr Harper says the benefits of extending Victoria's current smokefree legislation to pubs and clubs include safer workplaces, reduced risks of litigation from people with illnesses caused by exposure to other people's cigarette smoke, and lower costs for cleaning and air conditioning of smoke-filled air.

Don't bother looking for a feature phone with a keyboard, you won't find any worth spending money on. Instead, you'll be better off settling for a smartphone. Even if you scour only smartphones, finding those with a keyboard is still a difficult task. This set of devices is defined by their physical form factor, with one worthwhile exception thanks to its incredible powers of dictation.

Vinny Chase and His Entourage Boys are Out of a Job
The hit HBO show will have it's last hurrah next summer.
-Faye Brennan
Entourage is HBO's longest-running series about four guys trying to make it in Hollywood. The lead character, Vincent Chase (played by Adrian Grenier) is always looking for his next acting role, something that's not always easy to come by.
It must be hard for Grenier to not see the irony in his situation, as now he, too, will be looking for a new job. It's been announced that Entourage will end next summer, with a shortened six-episode season. HBO's programming president, Michael Lombardo, has confirmed the news, but says there may be a movie spin-off. One day.
Read Love It or Hate It? Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet
Until then, Kevin Dillon, Kevin Connolly, Perrey Reeves, Jeremy Piven, and Jerry Ferrara are also out of a job. Let's hope they know a real-life agent as good as Ari Gold to help them find their next gigs. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Categories Comments In three sentences My first semester at Rose was great, advisors were all very helpful when it came to picking out my classes and the staff is friendly and there to help. As this is my first semester I have only gotten an idea of what a select few professors are like, but in my experience they're very helpful and there to make sure you understand what is being covered in class. The class size is very small, meaning it's very easy to pay attention and it's more one on one.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities if you can name it, they have it. literally a club for everything.
Great for these types of students it's great for any type of person honestly. mostly for people who aren't ready to move out, who don't like big universities, and for people who just don't know what they want to do yet.
Bang for the buck you get what you pay for at rose. most professor are great and want you to succeed and move forward in pursuing your career.
What to do for fun rose usually always has some type of activity going on! games, food, and just hanging out with fellow classmates.
Food and Dining i've only eaten in the rose cafeteria a couple times. but the food is pretty good considering some college foods are gross. it's pretty cheap too so if you're on a tight budget, the cafeteria is definitely the place to go.
Dorm Life we currently just got dorm rooms built. i think it was a good investment because we have people that commute from all over oklahoma. i do not live in these dorms so i have no idea what it is like. i have heard they were good though .
Academic Rigor depends on the professor. there are some great professors at rose, but like every college, there is always some bad ones. make sure to do your research and ask around because there is nothing worse than being in a class where your professor doesn't care if you pass or fail.
Tips for prospective students go to class. pay attention. ask questions even if you think you're the only one that doesn't understand. most of the time there are other people wondering the same questions. get involved. there are so many fun activities that rose has and a lot of them involve free food!
In three sentences rose state college is an excellent school for students who aren't quite sure what they want to major in just yet. the atmosphere is great for people who are more low key, and who strive better in a smaller group setting. rose is very affordable and should be considered especially if someone has an undecided major.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I always feel safe on campus and have never had any trouble.
Great for these types of students This is a great school for business and accounting majors. The professors have worked in the field and bring their expertise to the classroom.
Bang for the buck The tuition is one of the lowest prices for the area and the local employers recognize Rose graduates as some of the best to employ.
What to do for fun Ever so often the student activities department will host different events on campus and those are always fun to attend. I have seen inflatables on campus (sumo wrestling,) tug-o-war, basketball free throws, chalk art, and other expos. There is a gym on campus with a swimming pool and tennis courts. There is also a coffee shop and outdoor sitting areas. There is also an outdoor butterfly garden.
Food and Dining I cannot rate the food because I have never had it, but the dining area is fairly large and appears comfortable. The school will bring in external vendors and feed the students for free, which is always nice!
Academic Rigor The courses challenging and rewarding, yet the professors are able to really help you learn and make it seem as though even the hardest content is doable. Some classes are enjoyable and fun and interesting.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your professors. Getting to know your professors is so valuable and will help you in the long run. Most of them are willing to help you learn, understand, and grow. They will not eat you alive and they do care.
In three sentences Rose State College is perfect for me! The class sizes are small, the professors are relatable and are able to apply their teachings to real world scenarios. Best of all it is affordable!

Categories Comments Bang for the buck I am so glad I chose to go to Rose State College to begin with instead of a 4 year college. It is very affordable and I was not wasting my money when I was just doing basics and not sure what my major was.
What to do for fun Get involved in clubs or activities. There is plenty to do and for all sorts of people!
Food and Dining Rose has good choices in the cafeteria, and when that is closed they have a nice cafe open called Java Rose. It's easy and affordable to eat lunch or grab a snack.
Dorm Life There is no housing currently provided through Rose State College; however, they are working on adding some housing by 2015.
Academic Rigor I feel that academics are strong at Rose and that even though the material can be hard, the small class sizes allow for a better understanding of the material by more frequent interactions with the teachers.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your advisers and teachers. They will be more than willing to help you out with anything you need. Also, since Rose is nor currently a college with housing, make sure you get involved with some of the activities on campus to get a feel for your fellow students.
In three sentences Rose State College is a great environment for students looking for more one on one interactions. The class sizes are small and the teachers are invested in their students. I could not be happier attending college elsewhere!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Good for students who need a little more time to mature or need more focus from the teacher.
Bang for the buck Free tutoring and cheap tuition to help in quality classes so I say you get your money worth.
Food and Dining The food, specifically the burgers needs a little bit of work done on them but the grilled chicken sandwich is to die for.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor Many of the teachers work hard to help their students succeed. Some will form study groups with students and will hold conferences wit individual students to help better understand what each individual needs help in.
Tips for prospective students If you are not that good in a particular subject then seek help from the tutors available in the libraries as soon as possible.
In three sentences A school filled with dedicated teachers who are willing to help. No need to fight for any of the teachers, because the small classroom sizes allows for better interaction between teacher and students. The only downside to the school is the food.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is smoke free, so don't worry about killing your lungs unless you are a smoker suffering from nicotine withdrawals (sorry smokers!). There is security on staff and nearby emergency phones in parking lot hanging near selected poles.
Greek Life I cannot give you any thought to this one at this time.
Clubs and Activities There's quite a handful to go around. I am a member of the Veteran's club but am currently not active due to military duties and maintaining focus on school.
Great for these types of students If you're into pre-med, liberal arts studies, theatrics, or anything abstract and creative, this is very much the school for you before transitioning into a major university, especially if you're on a tight budget.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I can't say I have yet to find anything unusual about the campus as of yet. The one thing I can say is that we have quite a large eclectic group of students and in a very good way. :)
Bang for the buck It's very affordable. Though yet again, I definitely recommend pushing the scholarships, Pell Grants, or anything the school offers minus student loans if at all possible. You will thank yourself in the long run.
What to do for fun Rose State is best known for its liberal arts and theatrics programs, so needless to say there's always events going on within these majoring fields from theater to music and creative writing and so much more. They have even established a center for children and adults to spend time honing in on their artistic side too!
Food and Dining I don't eat at the cafeteria and recently things have changed since I last ate there. The food is decent for dorm life but I can't say anything more than that. All I can advise is that people go and try for themselves.
Dorm Life I cannot speak on behalf of the dorm life as I currently live off campus.
Academic Rigor Depending on your major, certain classes can be more challenging than others. Maybe not at all. I'm a pre-physical therapy and liberal arts - art option majors. I love to take on a challenge while pursuing an abstract approach to my primary major.
Tips for prospective students Stay away from student loans as much as possible. There are plenty of options out there for you to take on. I'm a big advocate for scholarships and Pell Grants. The school also has a student workstudy program for anyone interested in working to pay off any loans or school fees. Do not be afraid to approach people for help. Rose State is student friendly and staff members are more than willing to help you out.
In three sentences Rose State College is what I call student-friendly. Instructors are willing to take the time to assist students in need without fear of reprisal. The school is conveniently located nearby and is a clean smoke free campus.

Categories Comments What to do for fun I play softball for this school so I do not get to see what all there is to do here at Rose.
Food and Dining The food and dining could be a lot better. Some of the cooks are very friendly and can be slow. The prices can be a little high, but overall it is decent.
Dorm Life Rose unfortunately does not have dorms. So you would either have to live at home or find a roommate and get an apartment.
Academic Rigor The academics are great. Some teachers are difficult but overall they tend to work well with their students. If you need help in a subject, Rose offers free tutoring services to their students.
Tips for prospective students This small college is cheap and great to get your basics done and out of the way.
In three sentences Rose State has small classes, nice teachers, and nice students. Some teachers are hard but nothing to be worried about. Also, the Administration and Financial Aid services work well with the students.

Tips for prospective students Don't think of this as an easy way out of college. Rose is just like any other college, you still need to put forth the same effort you would at another school.

Great for these types of students All types! I see older people who are going back to school, high school students getting a jump start on college, artsy, geeky, athletic, and people just trying to figure out who they are. It's a good place to go.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Cafe is my favorite place to study, use WiFi, and visit. People that work there are really nice.
Bang for the buck Excellent price and good quality.
What to do for fun They have different clubs and sports, but I haven't gotten too involved since I am a concurrent student.
Food and Dining They have a cafe as well as a full sized dining facility. Food is warm and tasty but a little pricey in the dining hall.
Academic Rigor I put a lot into my studies so I find it challenging and interesting. The more my professor knows and puts into his or her class, the more I like it.
Tips for prospective students Go to class and be engaged, try to really learn and be willing to learn something new. Study and plan ahead; it is not like high school. Be accountable for yourself and enjoy it.
In three sentences I love my teachers who are passionate about what they teach. My American Government teacher made learning about the elections and government fun, interesting, and something I could relate to in everyday life. I like college because everyone is on the same playing field and no one cares where you went to high school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is car security patrolling through out the day and night, as well as security on foot. The school is well lit at night with cameras in unknown places. I have never felt unsafe or uncomfortable the two years that I attended Rose State College.
Greek Life I am not sure Rose Sate has a Greek life. The closest thing that I can think of is Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, which I am a member of. Students seemed to be more focused on school. Plus there are a lot of non traditional students that make up the student population.
Clubs and Activities There are active clubs and activities on Rose State's campus. The clubs are very welcoming and clubs are required to reach out to the community which is really good. I enjoyed myself, it gave me something else to look forward to at school.
Great for these types of students Rose State is good for students who are focused on school because it is a quiet low key campus. You will see more students in the classrooms or library rather than just hanging out. Also non traditional students will feel more comfortable here because there are many attending.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There aren't any unusual traditions or locations on campus that I know of. This school is geared towards helping students get started or to continue and further their education in the hopes of reaching their desired career and that's about it. Campus electricity does shut off for a few minuets at least once a semester.
Bang for the buck Renting books online is were you will get your best deals EVER on book renting or buying because the Rose State bookstore can be pricey just as the bookstore right of campus across from the baseball field. I spent $370 on two books one semester and $760 on 5 books from online the next semester. Not to mention free shipping and a discount coupon for the next time when you use that online book rental.
What to do for fun The best thing one can do in college is make new friends. Meet new people and explore. The night life downtown is really nice and there are a few places to relax and have a good time with company but you will do some driving. overall it is a nice area.
Food and Dining There is a cafe and a cafeteria on campus. I don't eat much on campus and I don't think that either food places get a lot of business year around but there are a lot of fast food and dine in restaurants off campus.
Dorm Life Rose State does not have on campus living. However there are apartments right off campus that are walking distance. It isn't a big complex.
Academic Rigor Just like every other school, Rose State wants their students to succeed in academic and personal goals. Most of Rose State's credits are transferable and the teaching staff does grade by the book. The school even offers free math, English and science labs, as well as a tutoring service and much more. If anything, Rose makes it hard for its students to fail, it would be something that requires effort.
Tips for prospective students It is a great idea to have in mind your purpose for attending Rose State, whether it's to build credits for transfer or a degree. I say that because that will leave a smaller chance of you wasting money and time taking classes you didn't really need in the first place. The more you know what you want the smoother or faster things will run during your duration at Rose Sate.
In three sentences Overall, Rose State was a great place for me to go after high school. I was able to graduate on time with two honors and an associates of arts degree. My two years went by so fast because I was focused and spent most of my time utilizing the labs and tutors that were provided for students.

Greek Life I know there are different greek life clubs, but have never looked into them.
Clubs and Activities Broadcast club, hispanic club, math club and more. A lot of clubs to look at.
Great for these types of students Parents, working students, blue collar workers who wish to obtain a degree to further themselves. Great value, great campus, great two year college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The blowing alley where they hold classes is very popular. Students love the instructor and students love to meet up and have a bowling night most fridays.
Bang for the buck The tuition is very low, you can get your degree for a fraction of the cost. The majority of their credits pass along to other Universities if you plan to transfer. Great college guidance, they will help you plan out whatever you want to do.
What to do for fun There isn't too much to do besides working out at the gym, swimming at the pool or watching a baseball or softball game!
Food and Dining They have a cafeteria, the food is alright. They have a cafe, over priced. But lots of nearby places.
Dorm Life As far as I am aware, there are NO dorms on Rose's campus.
Academic Rigor The classes are just as challenging and informative as any Big college. I too psychology at Rose and helped my girlfriend pass her OU class.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to choose a schedule that works for YOU. Rose is a great school that is designed for the blue collar/working student. Lots of available classes. Don't try to rush things.
In three sentences The cheapest and most popular two year college to my knowledge. The school has and amazing transfer program to UCO and have always made an effort to help me out when it comes to my future.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I've taken a night class before and felt safe walking to my car from the building at 10pm (I walked with the students in my class since we all left at the same time and parked in the same area). They have numerous emergency telephones in each parking lot and they are lit up blue at night. During the day I feel safe going to and from the parking lots but I'm not sure if there are security cameras. Campus security are seen driving around in their carts often (not sure how good they are) and I see a cop car on campus once a week or so. I carry pepper spray and keep an eye out any place I go (school or other), and if you're aware of your surroundings you should be fine. The buildings have many security cameras so I felt safe going in/out of buildings and walking the halls.
Great for these types of students Traditional, non-traditional, and people who need flexible classes. Rose has night classes, telecourses, hybrid courses, interim classes, summer classes (8wk and 16wk, online or on campus), online classes, and on-campus classes (with many different times and teachers). I suggest Rose to any student who isn't sure what they want to major in or if a person just wants get their prereqs for a cheaper price than the surrounding universities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Wellness Center is really nice and up-to date. It has great equipment and the treadmill area has very nice televisions to watch while working out. My friend says their zumba and yogas classes are fun and definitely worth taking. I suggest the library also for any studying you may need to do- they have two floors and many chairs and desks to use. Computer lab always has plenty of open seats. They have nice cushioned chairs in the first floor so you can read in a quiet, comfortable place.
Bang for the buck I got a scholarship, but I still calculated it and it's about 1/4 of the price I'd be paying at OSU in Stillwater. Rose offers almost all the prereqs you need at major universities for so much less. The tuition here is a drop in the bucket compared to the universities here in Oklahoma.
Food and Dining Meh. They have a pretty nice gas station type selection of snacks and soda/juice/water/etc in the cafeteria but their actual cafeteria food lacks good choices. It's easier to just go off campus to the restaurants in Midwest City near the school or bring/buy a protein bar.
Academic Rigor It all depends on the class and the teacher. If you ask around, you'll find out quick who to take and who not to take. Personally, all my prereq classes were challenging and kept me interested (but were easy enough to slack in as the semesters came to an end...). I felt I received a quality education by going here. My teachers were genuinely invested in my success and would explain things until the class understood them.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you figure out what teachers to take and which ones to avoid. Also make sure the credits you earn here will transfer to the university you will ultimately go to, otherwise you've wasted time and money. Don't write this school off because it's a community college. Getting a scholarship here can be easier than the universities (less competition), so you may even be able to get your prereqs completed here for free (or even cheaper than regular tuition). Rose is definitely worth looking into.
In three sentences Awesome college to go to whether you're concurrent, doing it all online, all on campus, or a mixture. The class size is excellent- I never had more than 24 students in a class (and that was in Comp I) and my teachers all knew me by name by about the 2nd/3rd week. The good teachers help create a relaxed learning atmosphere and make the classes enjoyable. Library is great- it's small but has great resources. The only negative aspect of Rose is the advisors (in my experience). They can give you the run around at times. Work with your future-university advisor in addition to your Rose advisor to figure out which classes you need to take at Rose so they'll transfer (and to avoid any hassles with Rose's end).

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are TONS of clubs and organizations to get involved in. The gym always has intramural stuff going on at all times. They also have Fitness Challenges like the Indoor Triathalon and the indoor marathon. No matter what, Rose State's Wellness Center has a fun and exciting activity to offer at any time of the year. Also, get involved in Leadership! They take you rock climbing and to the aquarium and other fun stuff! Its a non-stop rollercoaster ride here at Rose, and I would have it no other way.
Food and Dining We have a cafeteria with amazing food and a cafe with a Starbucks. Food on campus really is not that bad. I eat it almost every day and I'm never not satisfied with what I get.
Dorm Life We have no dorms here!
Academic Rigor Like I said earlier, these teachers expect nothing more than hard work and good grades from their students. And if one of their students is not fully grasping a concept, they take time to help that student. They want you to succeed.
Tips for prospective students I would definitely come to Rose State to get the basics out of the way. Don't waste your money and go to a HUGE 4 year university when you have a community college right around the corner. Also, go to class. Sounds like a simple concept but it is more difficult in college because of the freedom that comes with being in college. If you go to class, you'll be more successful.
In three sentences Has amazing and challenging professors that I did not expect to get from a community college. Here, they truly care about your success and make sure that they do everything they can to make you successful. Success is the whole theme at Rose and it has made me strive to do better and finish quicker.

Dorm Life Did not utilize dorms.
Academic Rigor Average academic rigor of a typical community college. Small class sizes are typical.
Tips for prospective students Pay careful attention to the concurrent enrollment requirements and forms. Rose State requires that you complete a concurrent enrollment application every single semester.
In three sentences Rose State College is a good local college for concurrent High School Enrollment. They offer extensive on-line course options, so you can complete your basic education requirements without traveling to the campus. They work closely to ensure courses taken will transfer to other 4-year universities.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck i attend rose state because it is less expensive than the surrounding 4 year universities. i am getting all of my basic prerequisites done here and then will transfer to a university to finish up my bachelors degree. they offer lots of classes that are transferable to the surrounding 4 year universities. they also offer lots of associates and technical degree programs. it is saving me money to attend rose state for my freshman and sophomore years and i am getting a great education from professors that really want to see me succeed. the smaller class setting allows for more one on one time with the professors and make it less intimidating for one to learn.
What to do for fun they have all kinds of activities for students to get involved in. they have theater production, musical productions, and lots of student clubs that cover a wide range of interests.
Food and Dining they have recently redone the food court at rose state. they now offer a wider variety of foods. they even offer starbucks beverages.
Dorm Life i don't believe they have dorms.
Academic Rigor the professors here at rose state really care about your opinions and want you to get involved in the classes. the professors do not just lecture the whole time, but allow for in-class discussions. the in-class discussions help to make sure you really understand and retain the information you are learning.
Tips for prospective students talk to other students and ask them which classes to take. i have taken different classes offered by the same professor because they are that great. find out about scholarships and sign up for as many as you can, paying for college is expensive and every little bit helps. attend your classes do not waste your time or money by not caring about your education. you will get as much out of your education as you put into it.
In three sentences this is a great college with awesome professors. they have smaller class rooms which allows for more interaction and instruction from the professors. i have been blessed to have the opportunity to attend rose state and be taught by professors who truly care if i understand their classes.

Great for these types of students high school concurrent, transfer students, military since tinker afb is less than 5 minutes away, and adults that are trying to get a degree later in life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus in most buildings the bathrooms are located at the east and west end of the buildings as a general rule the mens is at the east end and womens is at the west end
Bang for the buck it is a good place to get started and for some degrees to finish but there is no housing so most students live at home or with a friend in the area.
What to do for fun most things in oklahoma city are within a 15 minute drive and there are 2 lakes within 30 minutes
Food and Dining cant say i have ever eaten there but there is plenty of fast food close by
Dorm Life there is no on campus dorms
Academic Rigor the work will keep you challenged but is not really hard
Tips for prospective students make sure you find a counselor if you try to do it on your own you will end up taking extra classes. if you plan on transferring make sure the classes you take will transfer because some require 6 or 9 hours at rose for 3 hours at some of the 4 year colleges
In three sentences rose state college is a good starting college to transfer from not saying that they don't offer degrees to. it is a reasonably small college and campus and its also very cheap compared to the 4 year colleges around. all the professors have been nice and willing to help.

Bang for the buck I personally think Rose State has an amazing program trying to keep the price of getting a higher education down so we can afford it. Just because it is cheaper doesn't mean you're getting second-hand benefits. They are the best school I have ever been to!
Am enjoying being here The campus has a great atmosphere. All the people that work there are very nice, and all the staff are hand-picked I believe to help us students have the best experience we could have.
Am learning a lot The professors are great. They actually care about you and your grades. The reason I believe I learn a lot is because those teachers have a passion to actually teach you something. I love how much I've learned in the short time I've been here!

Summary | Head-coupled (head-steered) virtual reality display systems can cause motion sickness (cyber-sickness). This chapter reviews past literature on cybersickness and reports two series of experiments conducted to identify the cause(s) of cybersickness. The first series consists of two experiments conducted to investigate the effects of and interactions between rotational scene movements and head movement. The aim was to verify the importance of scene movement to the generation of cybersickness. Preliminary results indicate that the presence of scene movement can more than double the level of cybersickness. Initial data also showed that scene movement in the absence of head movement is associated with higher levels of cybersickness than scene movement with either correlated or uncorrelated head movements. The second series of experiments studied the level of cybersickness with scene movements of different complexity and velocity. Significant increases in the level of cybersickness have been obtained when either scene complexity or scene velocity is increased. | ||||||||

Blood Sport, 5.10+ | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
3rd Pitch- 55m- 5.10+/ This is a stout 5.10d even by Zion standards! And appropriately enough the crux comes pulling the dramatic "Van Damme" roof and continuing up a tough (C4 #5) off-width section. The chimney leading up to the roof involves stellar stemming and chimney climbing and is well protected via interior cracks. Pulling out of the roof and staying in the off-width that follows is the crux. This pitch just never lets up, even towards the end it is still full on as the pitch gets considerably dirtier. However, it is a great pitch, with great positioning. The view out of the chimney and below the roof is incredible. This is a real "thinker" of a pitch requiring a variety of moves.

Who's a Virgin?
More people than you might think.
-Jane Farrell
Maybe it's all the talk about vajayjays, boob jobs, Brazilian bikini waxes and really complicated sex toys. Who knows? But in any case, most of us are losing our virginity before we're out of our teens.
A survey by the federal Centers for Disease Control found that 75 percent of all American women have lost their virginity by age 19. For men, the figure was 80 percent.
However, there are also 1.1 million people between the ages of 25 and 40 who have never had sex. (Looks like The 40-Year-Old Virgin wasn't so unrealistic after all.) Reasons for postponing sex included religious or moral beliefs, and waiting for the right person to come along. In the 15-24 age group, more men than women said they were waiting for a good relationship before going to bed with anyone. Who knew guys were so starry-eyed?
Read 5 First-Time Sex Tips – from your Gay Best Friend
And according to the website bookofodds.com, three groups in particular reported lower levels of virginity among both men and women: prisoners, the military and studio art majors at Wellesley College.
Although losing your virginity at a relatively early age can be frowned on (at least in public), it may be better for your sexual development. Researchers at Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute's HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies found that people who lose their virginity between the ages of 21 and 23 are more likely to be sexually dysfunctional in later life.
We knew there was a reason not to postpone joy! (Book of Odds)

The Valley is blessed with hundreds of miles of mountain trails.
But a hike that's an idyllic stroll for most of the year can be life threatening when temperatures soar.
Just last July, a teen from Alaska died of heat exhaustion while hiking at South Mountain Park.
And while Arizonans shake their heads when visitors underestimate the heat, it's easy even for longtime Valley residents to get into a bad situation, said Scott Walker, public information officer for the Phoenix Fire Department.
"A lot of people in Phoenix are a little dehydrated all the time," he said. "Then in the summer, they'll go out for a little exercise and it doesn't take much."
Often, he said, it's younger, more active people out jogging or exercising who get in trouble.
It happens all across the Valley.
The Glendale Fire Department, for example, had 13 calls to Thunderbird Conservation Park, according to department spokesman Daniel Valenzuela.
And the Phoenix Fire Department had 160 mountain rescues in 2009, according to Michelle Miller, a public-information specialist with the department. A rescue, she explained, could range from helping a dehydrated hiker walk down a trail to a full-blown helicopter evacuation.
Despite the hazards, there is something to be said for hiking the Valley's mountain parks in the summer.
"We live in an incredible state," said Dale Stewart, owner of the Arizona Hiking Shack in Phoenix. "It's always great to get outdoors and explore the desert."
Stewart likes to hit the trail just before daybreak.
"The desert comes alive early in the morning," he said. "It's cooler, and that's when wildlife is most likely to be seen."
Heat-caused problems
Problems run from the relatively minor to life threatening.
��Heat cramps
"This is a sign you're dehydrated, that your electrolytes are out of balance," Walker said. "You still feel pretty good, but you start cramping up. It helps to get out of the sun and drink some liquids."
��Heat exhaustion
Signs include pale skin, excessive sweating and feeling nauseous.
"You might vomit a little," Walker said. "Basically it feels a little like the flu. You just feel sick."
Victims need to get indoors, or at least in the shade, cool off and start hydrating.
"If you're not getting better, then you need to see about getting medical help," Walker said.
��Heat stroke
This is a genuine medical emergency, Walker said.
Symptoms include disorientation and hot, red, dry skin.
"When you're really dehydrated, you stop sweating," Walker said. "This is a very serious condition. People die of this."
Call 911 immediately, as treatment may include rehydration through IVs. Cool the victim any way you can, with shade, water and ice.
It's especially important to keep an eye on children, who can dehydrate quickly and can't describe their symptoms.
Plan ahead
Recommendations for hiking safely in the summer include:
��Pre-hydrate, hydrate and re-hydrate.
"Hydrating really begins the night before your hike," Valenzuela said. "That way you can be sure that when you're approaching the mountain in the morning that you already have a head start."
Keep yourself hydrated during your activity.
"If you started feeling thirsty, you're already behind in your hydration," Walker said.
After your hike, drink some more water to prevent what Walker called the "dehydration hangover" the next day.
Be aware that drinking too much water in a short period can cause a rare, but potentially fatal, condition known as hyponatremia.
"If you're drinking and it wants to come up," Stewart said, "that's too much."
��Go early.
Even firefighters, known for their high levels of physical fitness, try not to exercise outdoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. whenever it's 105 degrees or higher, Walker said.
��You can still do those hard climbs - Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak - but you should limit yourself.
"Go halfway, then come back," Walker suggested.
��Dress appropriately. Wear a hat, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and use sunscreen.

Is it nervy to test God like Gideon did?
The Question:
I have been reading Judges and I just got done reading about Gideon and two things strike me. The first is how many times he tests God. He has an awful lot of nerve testing God once but then multiple times. Why does God go along with this and yet the Bible says not to test God? Doesn't this show a lack of faith? What should we take away from this story?
LD from North Carolina
Part 1: Testing God
Part 2: Gideon and Faith
Part 3: Lessons from Gideon
Part 4: A Word about Fleeces
Testing God (Part 1)
You raise some very interesting points about Gideon. The time of the Judges for Israel were what I call the see-saw years. Back and forth they went; serving God for awhile and experiencing peace and prosperity and then swinging the other way; rebelling and serving other gods and being conquered. Then they would turn to God once more and start the cycle all over again.
Gideon was one of those Judges that God raised up but he was a reluctant one. He tried to talk God out of calling him by saying; "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house." (Judges 6:15)
So the first thing to notice about Gideon is his humble spirit - or today someone might say he had an inferiority complex. This is important to the question of his testing God. You are right that the Bible says not to test God in Matthew 4:7; "It is written again, 'you shall not temp the Lord your God.'" Jesus was quoting this verse to Satan when he was being tempted in the wilderness.
He was referring back to a passage from Deuteronomy (Deut. 6:16) about a prior incident where Israel was contentious and rebellious and where they demanded that God give them water. They said; "Is the Lord among us or not?" (Exodus 17:7) That might sound okay to get hold of God and wrestle some blessings out of him but that is not the spirit in which they asked.
Gideon's spirit was not contentious or arrogant like theirs. Rather, Gideon was scared and terrified; if he was going to go and do such a monumental thing as save Israel from her enemies he absolutely HAD to know the directive came from God and not his own flesh. He was asking for confirmation. It is also wisdom for us today to seek confirmation of God's voice. We can't just listen to any voice which might be our own voice or the voice of the devil.
You are right that Gideon didn't stop with just one test. Wasn't that pretty nervy? No, because it was God who was calling Gideon to do things for him, not Gideon who was concocting a plan of his own. God knew that Gideon lacked courage and needed a strong dose of encouragement. He never minds encouraging us.
Next: Really now, where was Gideon's faith?
Gideon and Faith (Part 2)
I'm glad that God included the story of Gideon in the Bible. He strikes closer to home than some of the other mighty men and women of faith. He reminds me more of myself. Gideon reminds me of what Paul says to the Corinthians; "For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:10)
You ask if Gideon's numerous tests demonstrates weak faith. Probably - but it was enough faith to fulfill God's plans. For instance, God told Gideon to tear down an alter to a false god and build instead an alter to the Lord and sacrifice a bull on it. (God was preparing the people to return their hearts to him so he could deliver them.)
Well, Gideon obeyed but here's how: "But because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night." (Judges 6:27) He was afraid. I've heard before that when someone told Joyce Meyers that they were scared to do such and such she said; "Do it scared then." That's the ticket. Being scared shouldn't stop you from anything God directs or inspires. Gideon did it scared.
As time went along, Gideon gathered courage and faith. He knew that God had called him to deliver Israel from the Midianites. I believe a good example of how far he came is what he told his men to shout when he blew the trumpet. He told them to say; "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!" (Judges 7:18) He was finally willing to attach his name to God's plans. He was overcoming fear and increasing faith.
Remember that faith can be very small - as small as a mustard seed. It is not the size of the seed that determines the ultimate outcome but the kind and quality of the seed. Let's always use whatever small portion of faith we have to take the next step…and then the next step.
Next: What can we learn from Gideon?
Lessons from Gideon (Part 3)
You ask what we can take away from the story of Gideon. One thing is the strong sense that God understands our weakness and infirmities and uses us in spite of those things. In the kingdom of this world; power, strength and independence are esteemed but in God's kingdom it is just the opposite. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) We sometimes get so used to pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps that we need someone like Gideon to remind us of the truth.
Another lesson is the one I mentioned in Part 1 about how to handle fear. We can admit that we are afraid and still step forward in God's grace. Even in fear, courage is possible and victory is assured as long as we have truly tuned in to God's command and plan for us. Our faith can grow stronger in spite of fear as we trust God over our circumstances.
There is something else wonderful to take away from the story of Gideon. Do you realize that it is to Gideon that God revealed himself as Jehovah-Shalom, The Lord is Peace? That revelation was not just for Gideon, it is for every one of us today. Details of this lesson are in another article in Hannah's Cupboard which outlines the meanings of the names of God. (See Jehovah-Shalom for the complete story.)
Let's also not forget the thing that Gideon is so famous for: his fleeces. These are some of the tests you mentioned in your question. How appropriate is it for a Christian to use "fleeces" to test God? We shall explore that tomorrow.
Next: Should Christians follow Gideon's example and put fleeces before the Lord?
A Word about Fleeces (Part 4)
It is very popular for Christians to use fleeces. What are they? Gideon used a fleece of wool to test God in two ways. He used the "if this" "then that" system. He said to God; "If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said." (Judges 6:37)
After that happened he reversed it and asked God to please give him one more sign the opposite way. This time; "Let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew." (Verse 39)
To most Christians today, a fleece is any sign that meets pre-arranged criteria. The goal is to find out God's will in some matter. For instance: if it rains tomorrow even though sunshine is forecast, I'll know I am supposed to move to Florida. Or, if I get a phone call from Ken before 10 AM I'll know he is interested in me more than a friend.
I raise these particular examples to show you some of the pitfalls of using fleeces this way. You see, maybe the weather forecast was wrong and it was going to rain tomorrow no matter what. And if you don't get the call from Ken until 11 AM and he's asking for a date do you have to say no based on the way the fleece turned out?
There are times when it is appropriate and called for to do something similar to what Gideon did. An example is if God initiates a command or plan in your life and you need to know for sure if it is really God. The Lord does not mind being tested when we humbly ask for wisdom and confirmation to truly be in the center of his will.
But be careful about the way you set up fleeces and use them very sparingly. Fleeces often represent a less mature walk with God. Some use them almost like a fortune teller. There are many more good solid ways to know the will of God in a matter. Always seek God's Word first because God will never direct you to a course outside his Word.

I know we'll all be in line early for this one just for the ROTS trailer.
However, think of what this film is. A Pixar comedy about superheroes by the director of The Iron Giant. There is absolutely no way this can go wrong.
And besides, seeing it in the theaters would be a tremendous "f-you" to Disney. Sure, they'll get millions from it. But think about how crappy they'll feel (at least anyone left there who's capable of feeling) when this smashes records for animated films and they're forced to remember that they only have one more flick before Pixar says buh-bye for good!

Cabaret (Touring), Will Young
Rufus Norris' much anticipated re-imagining of his double Olivier-award winning production of Cabaret is to star internationally renowned singer/songwriter Will Young in his musical theatre debut as the enigmatic Emcee.
Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 and the famous movie version with Liza Minnelli and Oscar winner Joel Grey, Cabaret has won a staggering number of stage and screen awards including 8 Oscars, 7 BAFTAs and 13 Tonys.
The production heads out in September for an exclusive four week tour prior to the West End run.
Cabaret (Touring)
Kander and Ebb's landmark musical turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a dark and sexually charged haven of decadence, its extraordinary and morally ambiguous inhabitants determined to keep up appearances as the real world - outside the comfortable sanctuary of the cabaret - prepares for the nightmarish chaos of war.
From the creators of the hit musical Chicago, Cabaret features show-stopping choreography, dazzling costumes and some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre, including Mein Herr, Maybe This Time and, of course, Cabaret.
*All casting is subject to change - please check with the Box Office when booking.
Cabaret (Touring) tour dates
Will Young
Will Young originally shot to fame after winning Pop Idol 2002, but has since gone on to defy the critics by releasing four multi-platinum selling albums, being voted the UK's Favourite Artist twice and receiving critical acclaim for hit singles such as Leave Right Now and All Time Love. His bluesy, soulful voice, mature song writing and undeniably good looks have made him a national treasure and one of the UK's best-loved artists.

If you are CrowdFunding or going to offer some rewards in addition to offering equity in your CrowdInvestment, then here is how to create an offer that maximises your contributions.
The first rule is to think of your target market of contributors or investors. Who is most likely to donate or invest?
Write the answers to the following questions down now.
What type of person would be most interested in what I am doing?
For example lets say you are pitching to finance the creation of a new social network just for football fans. Then football fans would be an obvious target. Even better rich ones!
What category of interest can I put them in?
In our example we would put them in the category of sports, but we can niche down further into football fans, maybe even further into Manchester United fans depending on the pitch.
What types of problems do the people that are interested in what I am doing have in relation to the topic I am pitching for?
In our example a big problem may be connecting with other fans or getting hold of Manchester United tickets without paying a bomb.
What interests them most about this topic?
In our example they may be most interested in the latest football player transfer news.
What are they trying to achieve right now in relation to my topic?
Maybe they are looking to become a professional footballer and are interested in networking with people that know industry insiders in football.
You may want to imagine the person that is most likely to contribute or invest in you, draw them on a piece of paper, give them a name and write down everything you know about them.
Now imagine if you could wave a magic wand and give them the most amazing unique, exclusive one time rewards that completely solve their problems in relation to the area you are pitching.
In our example, our magic wand Rewards would include season tickets, parties with footballers, membership to an exclusive club, places in a football team, the latest football kit.
Write down as many as you can think of.
Once done look through that list and think of as many things that you can actually deliver upon.
So in our example, maybe we could offer a launch party for the website with football fanatics, VIP access to the social network, a dinner with your football agent friend, football t shirts etc. etc.
Make sure they are things that you can deliver upon and consider the cost of delivery when making this list.
Now take that list and attach a value next to each reward of what you think that would be worth.
Now take each offer and make it a no-brainer where you can.
The best rewards are no-brainer, one off and exclusive.
A no-brainer reward is when somebody that would have bought what you offer for £200 is offered that reward when they contribute £100 to your CrowdFund. If they also get a one off exclusive invite to the launch event, even better where there are going to be football agents and ex footballers.

Clipping is a handy way to collect and organize the most important slides from a presentation. You can keep your great finds in clipboards organized around topics.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XCalifornia Gov. Jerry Brown says he will consider opening the fourtgh-largest oil-producing state to a drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking to increase natural-gas production.
Brown said the technique has been long been used in the oil-rich San Joaquin Valley and said he would likely permit more widespread fracking, if environmental consequences can be minimized.
"I'm an optimist," Brown said Friday at a conference in Santa Barbara. "I'm going to look at it."
