Your mail needs to have a designated spot. When you pick it up from the mailbox each day, bring it into the house and put it in the same spot. This can be a basket, a designated space on the kitchen counter, or on your desk in your home office.
Your goal should be to handle mail as soon as it enters your home. But at the very least try to have a set time each day that you go through the mail and deal with it, so you don't end up with piles of mail and magazines spread throughout the house.
- Magazines- only keep the current month's issue
- If there are articles that you want to keep for future reference or for a recipe, etc than invest in a 3 ring binder with plastic page protectors. Tear out the article that you like and throw away the rest of the magazine.
- Catalogs- When a catalog arrives at your home and it is not one that your regularly order from call the 800 customer service number on the back and request to be taken off the mailing list.
- Junk Mail- this should be immediately thrown away. If you like the coupons from the ValuPak, etc then clip the ones you like and throw the rest away. This will cut down on the amount of paper clutter laying around the house. To stop unwanted credit card offers call 1-888-567-8688 or write to Direct Mail Association Mail Preference Service at PO Box 643 Carmel, NY 10512. Include your name, complete address, zip code and a request to "activate the preference service". This means you will only receive those catalogs, offers, etc that you personally request. The Direct Marketing Association estimates that this will stop 75% of the junk mail that comes to your home!
- Bills- have a place for all the bills that need paid to be filed until it is time to pay them. This can be a plastic shelf divider, a basket, a file folder, an accordion file, etc. Whatever works for you is the best system to have.
- Invitations, fliers, etc.- We all get the invitations to weddings, special events at the senior center and family goings on. Have a place that you put all these and weekly go through and sort out what has already happened and throw it away. As soon as you receive any type of invitation or reminder with a date in the mail you should check your calendar and if you plan to attend go ahead and write it on the calendar so that you don't forget in the future.
Paper, in general:
- Newspapers- If you use the Internet all major newspapers including the local papers are available (in their entirety) on line. If you are not computer savvy or prefer to hold the newspaper than be sure to recycle or toss newspapers at least weekly. Piles of old newspapers are untidy and create a fire hazard as well!
- Important personal papers- These include your will, birth certificate, social security card, passport, etc. Keeping these in a fireproof box is safest or use a safe deposit box at the bank. Other files you may have include 401k statements, bank statements, mortgage statements, stock/bond/IRA statements, warranties/instruction manuals, car information including car insurance and title. Keep your files organized and accessible according to how often you access them. If you only access certain papers once a year at tax time than file them in a banker's box in the attic. Keep files you need on hand in the file cabinet.
How Long Should I Keep It?
We are often asked by clients how long they should keep various types of paper. These are general guidelines that we use when working with people. But remember it is always important to check with your accountant or tax advisor about your individual situation before shredding any documents.
- Auto Records- keep these as long as you own the vehicle
- Appointment books- some people like to keep these as a type of journal, I keep them for a few years as back-up for mileage purposes. Keep them up to ten years for this type of reason.
- ATM slips- Keep them six years for tax related purchases. Store them with your bank statements.
- Credit Card statements- six years for tax related purchases (such as owning your own business) Otherwise keep until you receive the interest statement issued with by the company annually. Then you can shred them.
- Dividend Payment Records- Until you receive your annual statement
- Health Records- permanently
- Home Improvements- as long as you own the home. Store these with your tax records
- Household inventory and appraisal- As long as they are current. Update them annually (we will talk more about this next week when we talk about organizing for a transition)
- Insurance policies- (auto, homeowner's, liability) through the statute of limitations. (disability, medical, life, personal property, umbrella) keep for the life of the policy
- Investment purchase records- As long as you own the investments
- Investment sales records- six years for tax purposes
- Mortgage or loan discharge- as long as you own the home or six years after the discharge
- Pay Stubs- until they are verified by your W-2 statement
- Property bill of purchase- as long as you own the property
- Receipts- as long as they are current, or as determined by your accountant
- Safe- deposit box key and inventory- as long as they are current
- Tax records- current year plus six years prior (can be filed away in a bankers box)
- Utility bills, etc.- Until they are paid (your cancelled check is proof you paid and the company keeps records as well)
- Vital Records and documents- birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates: permanently
- Wills, trusts, estate plans- permanently
Other tips to keep in mind when dealing with paper:
- Papers should be filed so that you can access or retrieve them in less than a minute.
- Some people are convinced they have a good system for filing but then wonder why there are papers on the coffee table, end tables, etc. It is because you do not have an adequate filing system. An adequate filing system works!
- Filing cabinets or portable file baskets/containers should be stored within reach of where you deal with paper. File cabinets in the basement are of no help to you if you can't go down to the basement anymore.
- Two important questions to ask when handling paper- What is this?, Why am I saving it?
- Avoid keeping paper for sentimental reasons, keep it only for necessity. This will drastically reduce the amount of paper in your home.
Dealing with paper clutter is not only about appearances and organization. It is also about safety. The more paper you have lying around your home or apartment is the more "kindling" a fire has if one were to develop in your home. Consider that as motivation to deal with the clutter in your home.
Happy Organizing!

A lot of people want to add another monitor to their laptop - up
until now the best choice was a VTBook. The
VTBook is a PCMCIA card that gives you a true digital DVI port out -
very cool, but also pretty expensive ($230) and it only offers 32 MB
onboard RAM.
Sewell, however, now offers the best of all worlds with a brand new USB to DVI
Adapter. This allows you to add another monitor to a laptop or a
desktop without dealing with awkward cards. With 128 MB of RAM you can
drive a display up to 1280×1024.
The adapter features a DVI port but also comes with a DVI to VGA
converter in case you want to use it with a VGA monitor - with
technology this good (and cheap - $120!), nobody has an excuse not to
drive multiple monitors.

If LG follows up on the G2 schedule, the phone will launch in summer
Up till now we had only come to know a couple of Chinese phones which bypassed the 1080p resolution for their displays and these included the Oppo Find 7 and the Vivo Xplay 3S. And when these came out, we were surely in awe with this unique spec but it is becoming mainstream gradually. The new G2 successor by LG has announced that the phone is going to feature a "Quad HD" resolution which will have four times as many pixels as 720p which means it is going to top at 2,560 x 1,440.
If we look at the earlier leaks then we can recall that this new successor G3 will sport a 5.5-inch display which indicates towards a stronger density of around 530 ppi which is not so much far from what you get from a glossy printed magazine. When we think of what exactly is the point here then there is a fine line between what the Chinese phone makers intended and what this phone is planning to achieve. With the Chinese phones, it was all about the rendering of the complex character set which took its benefits from the extra details but when it comes to the global handsets, we cant really be sure. Onscreen pictures will also most likely get a boost and that too to such an extent that they will almost look analog. If LG is following the same G2 schedule for its G3, then we might expect the phone to launch in the summer, with availability by the fall.

The Oakland Raiders don't seem to be settled on a starting running back quite yet. One thing we know, though, is they are hoping by bringing back Darren McFadden and adding veteran back Maurice Jones-Drew, is that they can get better. Getting better, at least for now, may involve McFadden sticking as the team's starting running back come week one, as McFadden apparently has the "starting edge" in the competition, per Sports Illustrated.
A recent training camp report suggested the younger and more explosive McFadden figures to have the slight lead, but that Oakland is more than likely still going to roll with a "committee approach" in their rushing attack. All of that makes sense, as even an aging Maurice Jones-Drew seems to provide some value in spurts, as he's a superior blocker and inside runner in comparison to McFadden.
That being said, McFadden is still just 26 years old and carries much more upside. He's a more explosive and dynamic back and if the Raiders are going to succeed at all in 2014, they'll probably need a career year out of him. While that's not likely, McFadden getting the first crack in the rotation certainly is. Then again, it may not matter, considering McFadden has as shaky of an injury history as a running back can have.
Fantasy Breakdown
MJD is aging rapidly and even admitted earlier this summer that he was close to retirement. Rightfully so. Oakland is throwing caution to the wind here, and it's not all that unlikely that the talented Latavius Murray ends up being the Raiders running back to own in fantasy football leagues. For now, though, McFadden is the running back with the upside and the better role. You can strangely find him after Jones-Drew in many drafts, which should make him the better value pick. If you can snag McFadden as a RB4 or RB5, you have to feel pretty good about it.

Most of the people in this room used to be homebound. They feared falling. They couldn't walk without shuffling. Family members had to help them move their limbs to dress and inch through the day.
Now, Gary Ellis is brought to tears as he watches them move confidently with renewed strength and hope. Together they make up the Rock Steady Boxing at Wheeles Karate Academy in Gulf Shores where they box three times a week and work to strengthen the muscles that Parkinson's Disease has weakened.
Ellis was diagnosed with Parkinson's two years ago and decided after much counsel and advice to step away from his role at Compass Media, the business he founded 30 years ago. He focused on fighting the disease's progression and found that exercise was a key component of slowing the affects.
Rock Steady boxing, a national program, is a non-contact, boxing inspired program that focuses on hand eye coordination, agility, balance, cognitive issues and focus.
Chris and Kristie Wheeles, who own Wheeles Karate Academy, didn't hesitate to take on the training to become a sanctioned affiliate.
"To see them improve through this program, there was no way I wasn't going to do this," Wheeles said. "I love it. It's a passion for me now."
Kristie Wheeles said the pair didn't realize how emotional it would be to be part of the Rock Steady Boxing program.
"They're just trying to live longer and be with their families but the disease shuts their bodies down," she said. "Here they can come together and fight. A lot of times the doctors will just give them medicine and send them home. Here, there's hope."
In a matter of months the program has grown to include nearly 30 boxers who meet three times a week. Ellis said he has seen friends who used to never leave the house, now come to class without fail. Boxers say the program works.
John Ward, 87, of Foley, said he could barely walk. Now, after participating in Rock Steady boxing, he is steady on his own two feet.
His wife Ruth Ward said the program has made a world of difference.
"Everybody experiences the effects of this disease differently," she said. "He was just sitting and watching tv. Now this keeps him busy. It's really needed."
Jim Beam, of Foley, was diagnosed with Parkinson's four years ago. He said with the help of Rock Steady Boxing he has been able to get up off the floor on his own for the first time in a long time.
More importantly, however, he is leaving the house and meeting others who are experiencing the same issues.
"It's great exercise but the social aspect is even better," he said.
Ellis is on a mission to advocate for the program and open as many affiliates in nearby areas as possible. The program has proven so beneficial that many students in the Gulf Shores class used to drive three to four hours to reach the closest program.
"This is obviously an underserved population," he said. "The classic support group is sitting around a table. Here, they are actually doing it.
"So many wonderful organizations raise money that goes toward research for the next generation but boxing works on the current person suffering from it," Ellis said. "In a short period of time they go from limited mobility to having hope. That's awesome."

I decided to create this site as an informational resource for those suffering with acne. I suffered with cystic acne for 13 years before stumbling upon a lonely forum post online where a man who had tried everything found a cure for his acne in Vitamin D. I had tried so many things that a $10 bottle of vitamin D seemed very reasonable compared to some of the pricey procedures I tried. Two weeks later my acne was cured. It felt like a joke. I was ecstatic that I no longer had to suffer what felt like a life sentence of pain. I remember telling my mom, "wow, my skin is white and not red". I could actually see what I looked like underneath the infection and inflammation. My face was no longer swollen. I also felt ripped off and angry that I was simply vitamin D deficient and that was what was causing me to suffer for over a decade. I told my doctor about my discovery and he replied, "who knew!?". Well, apparently no one knew, and it was up to me to figure it out myself. But someone should know. I am writing this blog for personal closure of what was a painful condition, and in hopes that one day doctors won't have to say "Who Knew?". There are very little resources online for the Vitamin D and acne relationship and I want to change that..

Retailer Privacy and Cybersecurity Management
Improving Cybersecurity Management in Retail
Cybersecurity Management is a crucial issue for retailers that manage sensitive customer and employee personal information, including credit card details, rewards program data, and payroll. For a company to grow into full privacy maturity, privacy governance needs to take place on a number of levels. These include ensuring that:
- The architecture of your IT systems is secure
- Any new technology solutions, such as online platforms or mobile apps, are secure
- Your staff are well trained in privacy and security awareness and procedures
- Your company privacy policy has been implemented comprehensively
- You and your legal team are up-to-date with the latest developments in relevant federal and state legislation
- The board of directors and CEO are briefed on privacy implementation on an ongoing basis

I have two budgies. I've had them for three weeks. Whenever I approach their cage, they get a tense. When I put my hand in the cage to change their water/food, they scuttle away and when I try to see if they would perch on my hand or hand-feed them some food, they fly around the cage trying to get away from my hand. How do I get my budgies to not be afraid and warm up to me?

Frightening Injury: Vancouver Whitecaps Player Masato Kudo Knocked Unconscious in Violent Collision with Goalie (Video)
About 12 minutes into Wednesday night's MLS tilt between the Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps, Chicago goalkeeper Matt Lampson delivered one of the most vicious hits you'll ever see to Vancouver forward Masato Kudo. In fact, the hit was so brutal that, for a minute, fans probably forgot which kind of football they were watching.
Lampson didn't intend to collide with Kudo, of course. Both of them were going for the ball, and Lampson just so happened to hold a distinct size advantage over Kudo, a Japanese national playing his fist season in the MLS. But the fact that it was an accident didn't make it any less scary as Kudo lied spread eagle and motionless on the field, blood streaming down from his mouth.
Fortunately, it only took a few minutes for Kudo to come to, and he was able to leave the field on his own two feet—albeit with assistance from Whitecaps trainers.
Here's video of the scary scene:
And here's a GIF for those of you who want to watch the devastating hit over and over:
Kudo is not in a good way after this hit. He's unconscious. Unintentional contact. Here's hoping he gets up soon. pic.twitter.com/WVvvvQrL6k

Hopefully the recovery process isn't too long and painful.

The Bible is the church's doctrine, but the following main points are given in order to show the most important foundational truths in the church's faith and teaching:
a) The Bible
We believe the whole Bible is God's living and infallible Word, and the divine rule for life and doctrine.
b) God
We believe in one God, the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
c) Salvation and eternal life
We believe that Jesus, God's son, is the only way to salvation and eternal life. Salvation is available through the death and resurrection of Jesus for the sin and guilt of all men.
A person is born again and justified by believing in his heart that God resurrected Jesus from the dead, and by confessing him as Lord in his life. (Rom 10:9-10)
According to the Bible there are two possible ends to this life; eternal life with God, or an eternity apart from God.
d) Baptism in water
We preach and practice "the baptism of faith", and we believe that all born-again Christians are to be baptized into Christ Jesus in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The baptism is done by full immersion in water, after the person has come to believe in Jesus. When we are baptized, we bury our old life, and are raised up (resurrected) into a brand new life in Jesus.
e) The church
We believe all Christians are one and a part of God's universal church. However, all Christians need also find their place in a local church, a spiritual home, where they can be cared for (shepherded), be included into a fellowship, receive teaching, grow in the faith, develop their ministry and move into God's plan for their lives.
f) The Holy Spirit
We believe all Christians can be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, as the first Christians experienced it and describes it in the book of Acts.
The Holy Spirit also wants every believer to function in the gifts of the Spirit, and to lead them into ministry.
g) Sanctification and the fruit of the Spirit
God has called all Christians to live a holy life.
Sanctification is a work of God, that by grace brings out the fruits of the Spirit and holiness.
h) Healing and restoration
We believe that by Jesus work of reconciliation, God has given us healing from all sickness. Reconciliation includes restoration for the whole person; spirit, soul and body.
i) God's blessing and care
We believe that God is a good God who care about all aspects of life.
God blesses us materially and economically, and the foundation for this is Jesus' reconciliation, and the biblical teaching about tithing and giving.
j) Jesus' return and the end times
We believe that Jesus will come back and that His return will happen in two stages. First he will come again to receive his church in the clouds of heaven. This is called the rapture.
Later he will place his feet on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem where he will reign on
the earth for 1000 years. Thereafter the judgment will take place, and there will be a
new heaven and a new earth.

Email marketing is one of the most effective long-term marketing tactics for any business type. Good thing we're awesome at it.
Set your budget, choose a type of lead, and we'll generate more than you'll know what to do with.
Your customers are already online. We'll put your business directly in front of them when they're most poised to want what you offer.
You know what the difference between us and a huge agency is? We're not charging you a TON of money just to keep a castle over our heads and a giant team of dullards stocked with coffee and doughnuts. And yet, our results are curiously the same – increased customers, sales, and clients.
When you call us, we answer the phone, listen to your needs, explain what we can do with your budget, and get to work. When you call them, you talk to a secretary, a sales rep, a billing rep, and eventually a team administrator who might update you every other week with a vague email. One of these things is not like the other.
While the big guys are busy shouting over each other during morning, afternoon, and end-of-the-day meetings just to regroup the next day to talk about the same issue, we're too busy actually getting stuff done to sit around chatting.
Your business, your customers, and your goals are unique, that's why we don't have a one-size-fits-all mold or process we try to put you in. However, there is one strategy we use that's the same for every single client– listening.
The beauty of Internet marketing is the amount of tangible results and positive ROI that can come out of even the most minimal of budgets. We will manage your budget, allocating carefully planned funds that are guaranteed to get you the most bang for your buck and your business.
In Internet marketing, there is no guessing. There is only what works and what doesn't work according to the numbers. Each month, we will show you exactly how your budget is being used, how effective your campaigns are, and how we are tweaking our efforts to optimize our strategies to make them more effective.
What's your budget? $500? $10,000? Regardless of the size, we'll build you a custom plan that spends it the right way. Our focus is a return on your investment.
Need more customers walking through your door? Want to distribute a new virtual coupon? Our goal is your goal. Just tell us what it is.
Your job is to manage your business. Our job is to increase your business. We will update you consistently with results tend to the details. So relax, the hard part is up to us.
Smart but humble…they know their craft well. Knowledgeable about strategy, social media management, advertising and SEM. I can't recommend them highly enough. They also love it, it's a real joy for them to help companies be successful with their internet marketing strategy.

Housing Partnership Insurance, Inc. markets cost-effective property and liability insurance to its network of regional nonprofit housing developers, who collectively represent a portfolio of more than 34,000 affordable apartments nationwide.
Wai'anae Community Re-Development Corporation
Wai'anae, HI
The MA`O Youth Organic Farm is an organic farming venture managed by youth from the Wai`anae community in Hawaii. Their goal is to make affordable and healthy fruits and vegetables available to residents of their low-income community. Growing a diversity of field crops (e.g., salad greens, herbs, eggplant) and fruit trees (e.g., mango, limes), MA'O is poised to become the largest producer of USDA certified organic fruits and vegetables on the island of O'ahu.
Background on the Project
The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures received 464 applications from nearly every state in the country and all types of organizations both large and small: 46 percent are running service-related businesses, 25 percent product-related businesses, 18 percent are running some combination of the two, and 11 percent are operating some other type of business. Among them, 64 percent are in the planning stage of development and 36 percent are in the early stage of operations.
Yale SOM Professor Sharon M. Oster, a leading authority on competitive strategy and nonprofit management and co-faculty director of The Partnership, said, "We continue to be inspired by the creativity, determination, and entrepreneurship that we see in the nonprofit world. The twenty social enterprises spotlighted at our Conference ran the gamut—from size, location, and type of venture. We congratulate all our finalists in this year's Competition, and especially the award recipients."
Stanley J. Garstka, Deputy Dean of the Yale School of Management and co-faculty director of The Partnership added, "In addition to the entrants of the current year, it was particularly gratifying to hear reports from previous award recipients, whose ventures are progressing nicely. They are now seasoned entrepreneurs, balancing running for-profit ventures with the goals and objectives of their parent nonprofits, confident they could develop other new ventures if called upon. Indeed, we are developing a new breed of social entrepreneurs!"
Stephanie Bell-Rose, President of The Goldman Sachs Foundation, noted, "We congratulate the winners of this year's Competition. Once again, the quality of the business plans presented was outstanding and we are confident that all of the participants will use this experience as a springboard to continued success. We are excited about the growth in intellectual capital this Competition has made possible, and are pleased that the Partnership has served as a catalyst for new thinking and continued growth in this field."
"We applaud this year's finalists and award recipients," said Don Kimelman, Director of Information Initiatives at The Pew Charitable Trusts. "I predict that in the years ahead, the Trusts and the other supporters of the Competition will be able to take great pride in the success of many of the finalists who made it to this event. It is now clear that this form of social entrepreneurship among nonprofits is not a passing fad. It is here to stay, and society stands to benefit from it."
About The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures
The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures was funded through combined grants totaling $6 million made by The Pew Charitable Trusts and The Goldman Sachs Foundation. The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures educates nonprofits about nonprofit enterprise, serves as a mechanism for capitalizing promising profit-making ventures with financial support, and provides intellectual capital to build the practice of social entrepreneurship in the nonprofit sector at-large. The Partnership grew out of the partners' growing concern that nonprofits increasingly find the need to enter the marketplace to generate new revenues beyond their philanthropic activities, and need guidance and resources to do so.
About The Yale School of Management
The mission of the Yale School of Management is to educate leaders for business and society. The school prides itself on preparing men and women to combine rigorous business skills with a broader appreciation for the economic, social, and political factors that shape the global environment. The Partnership on Nonprofit Ventures brings together three strands of the Yale School of Management's teachings-entrepreneurship, business skills, and social responsibility- to nonprofit organizations, infusing its program with the philosophy that superb business and management skills are a critical ingredient for leadership in every sector of the economy-private, public, and nonprofit. Since 1993, the Yale School of Management has been consistently rated No. 1 in Nonprofit Management among the nation's graduate management programs by U.S. News and World Report.

I have been obsessed with the Olympics (or the "Bolympics" as my nephew IV refers to them) since they started last Friday. Every morning I have to drag myself out of bed trying to fight my late night hangover. I have been staying up way past my usual bed time to watch. The last time I was this in to the Olympics was in 1996 and I don't remember watching nearly as many games as I have this time around. I am even enthralled by synchronized diving. I mean who even knew that was a sport ?!?! No matter which game is on I can't seem to pry my eyes off of the TV. I think it must be my love of competition. I am very competitive and come from an extremely competitive family. We turned everything into a contest - from cleaning our rooms to who gives the best Christmas gift. Throw a scoring system or an outcome model on anything and I am game.
And if there was a salsa making contest I would definitely enter the following recipe. I made a salsa last weekend that in my opinion is the Micheal Phelps of Salsas. I have mentioned two facts in prior posts that probably contribute to my adoration for this salsa - one, I don't like tomato salsa and two, I absolutely LOVE corn. This fresh corn salsa was amazing. The Tequila Lime dressing (although mayo sounded weird on corn) was fabulous and my addition of the jalapeño pepper rounded out the sweetness of the corn.
Roasted Corn Salsa with Tequila-Lime Dressing
Recipe adapted from Emeril Lagasse
5 medium ears yellow corn, silk removed, husk intact.
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade (I used Light Jarred Mayo)
2 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup diced green onions
1/2 Serrano pepper, finely chopped (seeds included - I used a whole one)
1 Jalapeño pepper (I added this to the recipe)
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper (I used 2 whole red bell peppers)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves (I used parsley)
1 avocado, sliced, for garnish
Tortilla chips, for garnish
Preheat a grill to medium-high.
Soak corn in water for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry.
Lightly rub each ear of corn with 1 teaspoon of the oil and place the corn directly on the grill. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly browned on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove and set aside until cool. When the ears have cooled, cut the kernels from the cobs and transfer to a mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, tequila, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mayonnaise-tequila dressing over the cooled corn kernels. Stir in the green onions, diced serrano pepper, Jalapeno pepper, red bell pepper, and parsley.
Adjust seasonings, as needed. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Place corn salsa in a serving bowl, garnish with avocado slices, and serve with tortilla chips.

All things about the media, marketing, business, Japan and other musings by Mike in Tokyo Rogers.

Musicians! Do Not Send DJ's Spotify, Youtube or Soundcloud Links!
Once again, I have received a message from an artist asking me to consider their music for radio airplay. Once again, they sent me a Soundcloud, Youtube or Spotify link and asked me to go to the links and listen to their music, write back to them and tell them what songs I want, and they will send them along.
I won't do that. I don't know any professional DJs or curators who will.
It is good that artists make this effort; well done. But, artists, do not just send DJs only Spotify, Youtube or Soundcloud links, please! Most DJs I know will not respond to you nor will they go to your link.
Why? There is no reason for us to go to the link. We can't play those links on air. So, if we can't play them on air, there's no point in even listening to them.
If you want us to listen to your music, check out our playlist. If you think your song fits what we play, then put your best foot forward, and send us your fave MP3 or two (Don't send us full album downloads, either - if we want those, we can ask for that later.)
It is an extra process, or step, and a waste of time for DJ's to go to your Soundcloud, Youtube or Spotify link. We don't have time to write back to you or download the tunes using special software. Sorry, but you need to do homework and check our on-air playlist.
Yes, we DJs are lazy (and underpaid). But remember, our listeners will not increase nor decrease whether we play your track or not. I already write to lots of artists and ask for tracks for things I found and like.
Send me those Spotify, Youtube or Soundcloud links, fine, but include a high -quality MP3 of your best track in the mail/message too.
If I listen to the MP3, and like it, I will immediately place it into the music list; I can't do that with a Soundcloud link. I don't have time to write back to you and wait for a response. I'll forget.
FYI: I know other DJs and curators who absolutely hate it when artists ask them to go to an online link and listen.
Again, today, another artist has asked me to listen to their online music and pick what I like. They wrote: "Here's my Soundcloud or Spotify link. Please listen and then tell me what songs you like and I will send it to you."
This frustrates me.
The artist wants me to play their music on the radio in Japan? Great. But it is the artist's duty, not mine, to go to the radio show webpage, look at the playlist and then determine if their music is suitable (You'd be blown away at how many artists send me Heavy Metal or Death Metal - which I never play).
I don't want to come off as a conceited jerk, but the artists have to make things easier for us.
To the artist above I actually responded (most DJs won't). Here is what I wrote:
"Here is my radio show link. Please check out the link and the songs that I play. If you think your songs fit, please send me two of your best MP3s. I don't listen to Spotify or Soundcloud as it is a waste of time because I cannot play those on the radio. I know for a fact that most of my DJ friends, who do this job as an occupation, won't listen to Spotify or Soundcloud either.
I'm not being a jerk. I want to, and always have, supported new artists. But I need for the artist to help me and save all of us time by sending the tunes that they think are the best fit (as MP3 attachments).
Please understand.
Here is my show: http://www.interfm.co.jp/mrs/
Thx, Mike"

There'll be more than just a birthday cake to help Land Rover celebrate the 40th anniversary of its flagship Range Rover tomorrow, a bouncing baby brother that's been making the rounds, in concept form, as the LRX.
Lower, sleeker and decidedly more crossover-like, the compact Range Rover that's due to a formal unveiling could take the British-based marque into a new era, one where car-based crossovers have come to dominate traditional, truck-like sport-utility vehicles on the sales charts.
Similar to the concept vehicle Land Rover has been promoting on the auto show circuit for several years, the production version of the LRX boasts a less boxy appearance, with a more sloping honeycomb grille, pinched headlights, and a roofline that appears to taper towards the rear hatch.
The show car – along with a number of heavily camouflaged prototypes seen in recent months – sported a two-door configuration, but a 4-door is also reportedly under development.
Don't expect to see the show car's LRX name to carry over into production, various sources report, though the actual moniker will be tightly held until a global webcast launch from Land Rover headquarters in the U.K. Thursday afternoon.
The compact Land Rover will feature some significant new technology, much of it aimed at improving the brand's notoriously weak mileage numbers. A hybrid version, in fact, is on tap though not expected to be available at launch. But there should be a wide range of engines including downsized diesels for the European market – none of which are expected for the American market, at least not anytime soon.
First unveiled at the January 2008 Detroit Auto Show, and shortly after at the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover Managing Director Phil Popham noted that the concept was "smaller and lighter, and focused on sustainability." Land Rover officials later confirmed that would be their same target with a production version.
One of the more interesting features of the LRX concept vehicle was the use of an unusual hybrid system, dubbed ERA, or Electric Rear Axle Drive, which uses direct gasoline power for one axle and electric drive for the other, creating a dual-drive approach to all-wheel-drive. Precise details for the production hybrid will likely be detailed during Thursday's webcast.
The real surprise is that this new premium ute will be the first front-drive model in Land Rover history, though initially production is likely to be limited to an all-wheel-drive version.
Look for the first compact Land Rovers to reach showrooms by late this year, and the hybrid to debut no later than 2013.
The sibling to British luxury carmaker Jaguar, Land Rover did the heavy development work for the LRX while still owned by Ford Motor Co., but it will debut under the auspices of India's Tata Motors, which purchased the two high-line brands in early 2008. Seen as a potentially large-volume offering, the success of the compact Range Rover will be critical to the success of not just Land Rover but Jaguar and Tata.

French Find: Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
A photographer friend of mine in Paris turned me on to this wonder cream. A Parisian secret, Embryolisse Lait-Creme is a must-have on photo shoots, says my friend. Apparently, makeup artists use Crealine H20, which I discovered last year on my trip to Paris, click here for a recap, then prime the skin with a dab of the Lait (meaning milk) cream before applying makeup.
The face cream is suitable for all skin types, packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins and dermatologist recommended. It plumps, soothes and softens the skin while creating a satiny finish. All this and it actually moisturizes!
Naturally, I had to try the cream for myself. So I ventured into one of those fantastic parisian pharmacies and asked in my broken french for a tube of Embryolisse Lait-Creme. The consistency is quite nice — not too thick nor too thin, rather in the middle. It is definitely hydrating but not overly moisturizing on my normal skin type. And it totally left my skin glowing to the point where my American friend asked if I was wearing makeup and I gave her the cream to try… now she, too, is hooked! I am stocking up before my return stateside.
Composition: Emollient oil and natural active ingredients: shea butter, beeswax, aloe vera and soy protein. Symdiol 68T paraben-free preservative complex.
PRICE TAG: About 15 Euros/ $18.00 in France

There are many important factors to consider when shopping for a CRM software that fits your business model. The obvious ones are:
- Does it have the features/functionality to address my specific data capture and processes needs?
- Is the price competitive while meeting my budget constraints?
- Is the CRM vendor experienced enough and familiar with my business to identify what is required to solve my problems?
- Does the software leverage the latest technology available?
What often fall under the radar and seldom is considered is the software vendor's capabilities to implement, train and support your application. It is one of the leading reasons why software deployments fail. C2CRM with its 20+ years' experience, prides itself in offering world-class professional services.
Implementation Model
When we're implementing our product, we use a more consultative approach where we try to get to know your business well. We don't have a one size fits all product where we make you force fit your business model to our software. Instead, we leverage our flexible software architecture to take our off the shelf software and use it as a toolkit to fit your business model. With the use of best practices sessions, we then incorporate your ideas and input to user-base your dashboards and screens using our role-based methodology; find out what the day in the life of each type of user is, do some customization and then come up with a prototype that you can test until you're totally satisfied. We find this works well because the users feel comfortable using the system because they had direct input on how it was customized….which in turn, leads to a high user adoption rate for our product.

Training Model
Training Services are provided in several different formats depending on the customers need and the complexity of the usage of the ClearC2 applications. ClearC2 offers a role-based (administrator, super-user, end-user) curriculum for each type of user provided in separate training sessions via the internet or locally on-site (additional charge). Post-implementation training (based on original application scope) is free and included in your monthly subscription fee (hosted model) or annual maintenance fee (on-premise model).

Support Model
The other way we try to partner with our customers is through the delivery of our support model. Because we only deal direct with our customers, we choose not to charge you for any of the typical tech support (phone, email, website, chat, portal) or for any post implementation changes to your screens, dashboard, workflows, reports. It's all included in your monthly subscription fee when we host your application or annual maintenance fee if it's on-premise. We liken it to being an extension of your IT department. More importantly, you never have to worry about any future hidden charges since everything is included. Another little subtlety about our support model that makes it a little different is that the implementation project manager that helped you out setting up your system wears a couple of hats because he will also be your support manager….so there is continuity and you never have to re-educate some on your application because you're always dealing with someone who is intimate with your business model.

Standing On The Edge
Will Berlinghof: Today is August 19, 2013 here in Australia. That I have a question for Cosmic Awareness in a moment that is to be presented through Joan in her energizing the question. But the question that I have for Cosmic Awareness is the following: Last night we received an email from a member of R-P, Rainbow-Phoenix, that informed of a series of planned actions by FEMA in the United States, that seems to be an indicator of plans to launch something or to be ready for an event that is due to occur sometime after the 21st of September, specifically the end of September into October. That FEMA is putting out instructions to be prepared for an event along the eastern seaboard. That this event will be of a major portion, that UN troops are being taught English so that they can be prepared for this event when they are put into that area. Goods and supplies are being sent to the area and are to be in place by certain dates, and the indication from reviewing the video clip that was sent to us, is that something is on the horizon, something crucial that FEMA know about but are not sharing with the general public at this time.
It seemed to be a very serious warning or statement of preparation to an event that is unspecified at this time and one that seems to indicate that something of major proportion is ready to go down.
Now, in light of the information that Awareness has been giving for months, that at the end of September a new beginning will start, that events will be starting to occur that indicate this or that will show that something is indeed happening.
It is my request for today's session to get Cosmic Awareness to make comment on what It is perceiving about the alleged event that is proposed or planned or known about by those agencies of the American government that are known as FEMA. Thank you.
Cosmic Awareness: Please proceed.
Thank you. Welcome Awareness, thank you for being with us for the Rainbow-Phoenix session of August 19, 2013. Will Berlinghof is the Interpreter for your messages, Joan Mills as Questioner and Energizer. The Law of Light and the Law of Love have been invoked.
Would you please make comment on the Interpreter's question concerning the remarks from the retired Congressperson, concerning the FEMA upcoming action. Your comments please?
That this Awareness is indeed prepared at this time to make comment about the comments that were directed towards the Interpreter and his partner, and the video clip that was included in the email received. That the email did indeed indicate that the organization known FEMA is in a stage of preparation for some event that they seem to know about. That upon hearing and viewing the video clip of the preparations of FEMA for the Third District, that the energies are very disturbing indeed for those who might hear and see this video.
That at the very outset before launching into further details about the events, that this Awareness would remind one and all who either have seen this video clip and the information it contains, or those who are now hearing about this through the commentary of this Awareness on this matter – that one and all need to remember not to go into a fear state, not to energize this event, this proposed event, with negative focus and/or negative energies.
That this Awareness as well as many other sources in recent times have been discussing the matter of events occurring that will bring about the collapse of the present world system, and that this piece of information that has been released is further proof that the Powers That Be are indeed on track and are aware of certain events that are ready to occur now. That the planning of these events is coincident with the nine-month period of preparation that this Awareness has been discussing for many months now, and that it has been mentioned by this Awareness that a new beginning will start at the end of the nine-month period when a birth occurs: a birth into a new state of consciousness with a new set of rules and laws…

Why DepoMed Shares Crashed
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of specialty pharmaceutical company DepoMed sank as much as 22% after being halted for the majority of the day following negative news from the FDA's advisory panel regarding its hot-flash drug, Sefelsa.
So what: DepoMed announced today that the Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee recommended against approval of the drug by a vote of 2 for approval and 12 against. At the heart of the RHDAC's concerns was a list of side effects -- most notably, suicidal thoughts -- which did not provide enough benefit to outweigh the risks. DepoMed's CEO, Jim Schoeneck, commented that the company would cease all spending on Sefelsa until "there is a positive direction for Sefelsa," and is planning to focus its efforts on turning cash flow positive in the second half of 2013 based on royalties and its two marketed products, Gralise and Zipsor.
Now what: Not really a huge shock here that DepoMed's Sefelsa wasn't recommended by the RHDAC given that it took three trials over the course of a number of years for the company to get anywhere near the desired results. There could be value in DepoMed based on its existing drugs, but only so long as management holds to its word to abandon Sefelsa completely in the meantime and keeps costs under a tight lid.

BOURG-SAINT-MAURICE, France (Reuters) - Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme paid tribute to Mark Cavendish following the Briton's exit from the race after he failed to make the time cut in Wednesday's 11th stage.
Sprint specialist Cavendish, who has 30 Tour stage wins to his name, crossed the line one hour five minutes and 33 seconds after stage winner Geraint Thomas, far outside the time limit that had been set at 31:27.
While he could have stepped off his bike and climbed into the broom wagon, which sweeps up riders falling behind the time limit, Cavendish insisted on finishing the 158-km stage to La Rosiere on his bike.
"Hats off to Mr Cavendish," Prudhomme said to Reuters before the start of the 12th stage on Thursday. "That was such a mark of respect for the Tour."
Prudhomme said he had to press the local authorities not to open the roads to circulation again in order to allow Cavendish to finish the stage safely.
"I want to say thank you to Mark Cavendish. It's such a mark of respect from the best sprinter of the Tour's history," Prudhomme said.
Cavendish had appeared out of form, never being in the mix for the final sprint in the flat stages.
The 33-year-old won his first Tour stage in 2008 and his last in 2016. Only Belgian great Eddy Merckx has won more stage wins on the Tour, with 34 stage victories to his name.
(This version of the story corrects headline to say Cavendish failed to make time cut, not that he pulled out of the race)

What is Differential GPS (DGPS) and why could it be important to you?
GPS systems have created the most accurate positioning systems in human history. The system in your car knows when you come to the corner and which way to turn. But even with that precision, there are applications that would benefit from even more exact positioning measurements. For example, a trucking company might like to know on which side of the street their vehicle is parked. That is where DGPS comes in.
Why is there variation anyway? It works out that small errors creep into the measurement and the resulting calculation. GPS systems measure the time it takes for a signal to travel from a satellite to a target ground unit. In order to get a completely accurate reading four satellites are used for the positioning measurement and the results are triangulated to get the exact position of the target.
GPS satellites are approximately 12,500 above the earth's surface, and the signal must pass through some atmospheric levels, particularly the ionosphere and troposphere, that introduce very minor variations in the time to send data from the targeted ground unit to the satellite. Because the signals travel at the speed of light, and the speed of light is over 186,000 miles per second, small errors can create huge discrepancies. For example, a delay of one millionth of a second would result in a mistake in
positioning of about 300 meters. DGPS adjusts for that error.
DGPS addresses this issue by placing a DGPS ground reference station transmitter in a precisely known position. The DGPS system then calculates the difference between the GPS calculated position for the ground reference station and the actual position of the ground reference station. This difference is then applied to any target in the neighborhood where you wish to measure a more accurate position.
The accuracy of the DGPS receivers will degrade as the ground reference station is further from the target you are measuring. However, if the DGPS ground reference station is within even 150 miles of the target you are measuring, it is close enough to refine the measured position of the target.
Depending on how timely the positioning requirement is, DGPS can be real time, calculated as the system measures the position of the target or it can be done after the fact by correcting the positions of one or more targets.
As the use of DGPS systems becomes more prevalent and less expensive, they become more valuable to every day users. Clearly the military requires very precise measurements across their battle scene. The DGPS receiver system run by the US and Canadian Coast Guards that guides shipping, especially in harbor as they maneuver. But other private users can find the increased accuracy useful as well.
As these DGPS beacon systems become even more accurate and available to the general public, they will affect many things. Imagine your car driving itself because your DGPS knows how close the adjacent cars are.
