I am an active member of the Pocket Autopatch System (PAPA), American Relay League (ARRL) , the Big Bear Amateur Radio Club, CNARN and the ARRL.
I started playing with CB radios at the age of twelve. My first CB radio was the GE and the KRACO, then came the midland 120 channels with FM capability. My first power supply was a commercial 12 volt battery hooked up to a battery charger. In the 70's we had a CB group named HELPAC (Highway Emergency Land Patrol Auxiliary Citizens). We had a base station on control of our mobile stations while doing road assistance every Friday Evening. We also help in road traffic during holidays and All Saints Day. It was fun helping motorist get back on the road so that they can proceed to their respective destinations.
In 1970, I got my Ham Radio License (DU1ALR) in the Philippines and was very much involve in experimenting HF,VHF and UHF antennas. Now that I am in the United States, I got my Technician License and then my General License KJ6RAY, February 2, 2010 and now having fun with my D-Star, HF's, my dual band radios and DMR radios.
Antenna building and experimenting was my favorite. I remember way back when I used to climb my tower early morning when everything is calm and no winds, it was fun. I build my own multi-band wire antenna which I used for my HF radio. They are simple but they work well.
Now I am involved with DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) which is on the Mototrbo system.
At present, I am a dealer of DMR and analog radios and you can visit my website at www.raynetcomm.com

More students than ever before begin university this autumn and they're likely to graduate into a tough job market.
So what can would-be SEOers do to boost their employment chances?
This summer, an average of 70 graduates chased every job, while the number of positions available fell by 7%. That's according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters, which has urged graduates to take any employment while they job hunt, whether it's flipping burgers or something more relevant.
Some of the students beginning or completing their courses this year will be considering a career in the growth-industry of online marketing and SEO.
If you're one, it's never too early to be thinking about boosting your skills and experience so that you have the edge when you come to look for jobs.
My advice is also relevant to non-graduates who want to prove their talent without the time and cost of university life.
Build experience now
University is the perfect place to hone your online marketing and optimisation skills. There are so many societies and clubs that need help promoting themselves and their events, that you have every opportunity to build a portfolio.
Aim to leave university with at least one promotional success under your belt. If you're already looking for a job then consider volunteering your skills to a local charity or club.
This will show you're passionate about your chosen career and not afraid of working hard, even in your spare time.
Broaden your skills
Why do you want to get into SEO? Is it because you're keen on marketing, because you're quite techy, or even because you enjoy blogging and know that's a big part of optimisation?
No matter how expert you are in one particular field, you need to demonstrate at least an understanding of the other skills required.
It's great if you're strong in one particular discipline but there's so much that goes into an optimisation campaign that you need to be quite broadly skilled to go far in our industry.
Practice your interview skills
Interviewing is hard for many otherwise excellent candidates, so take the time to brush up your skills. There's lots of advice online so read it.
As the director of an SEO agency, we are frequently recruiting so I'm privileged to interview many outstanding candidates for employment. For me, one of the most important elements to the interview is the candidate's questions.
Make sure you have some ready. A particularly good question for forging a link with an interviewer is: 'How did you begin your career?' This shows interest, sparks a conversation the interviewer will enjoy and could give you some useful information.
Research every agency you interview with
You should never go blindly into an interview but this is especially true of marketing interviews.
If you want to work for a particular agency then show them. Read the corporate blog, explore their existing clients and build up an understanding of that particular agency.
You should spend at least a few hours preparing for every single interview if you want to rise above the competition.
Tell them what you admire about their current work. If you're naturally cocky and very confident of your ground, tell them what you would do differently or how you would enhance a current campaign.
Optimise yourself
Do you have a website where you showcase your work? A blog where you charm readers with your interesting observations? An up to date LinkedIn profile?
As a potential employer, if I Google your name, will you rank highly? Make sure your online presence impresses if you want to work in SEO.
Stand out from the crowd
You've probably already seen 'Zeefax', a piece of self-marketing genius from a guy named Zef Narkiewicz.
I also remember a graduate a few years back who got a job at a top firm by buying paid search advertising around the names of the directors. When they ran vanity searches, he had a personalised advert ready waiting for them.
Not everyone can come up with such strokes of genius but they show the value of standing out from the crowd. Do what you can to be a memorable candidate, whether it's means ambushing potential employers at SEO conferences or sending your CV printed on a cake.
Remember, we're marketers. We appreciate a candidate who markets themselves well (please note. This was not a plea for cake).
Comments (8)
A recent report stated that 80% of employers would prefer a school leaver with 3 years experience than a graduate with none!
As an SEO you have the advantage of gaining experience without employment by building your own SEO projects. You can showcase your talent and passion just as well with your own projects and they may even support you financially throughout uni. Hell if you do a proper job of it you won't need to get a job ;)
When I was looking to hire employees for my SEO company, I specifically looked for candidates with marketing and writing backgrounds. I can teach someone how to optimize a site properly, but I can't make someone a good writer. If you want to really get into SEO, you've got the be able to write compelling content!
From the experience I have to date, you need to make yourself approachable and also tell a good story. No nonsense, you do have to tell the truth but tell the interview about a really cool piece of SEO work you have done or a piece of SEO news or something about the industry that takes your interest. Make sure you are compelling and that you bring out your personality.
As a director of an SEO company I am often surprised as to how few questions I am asked in interview by candidates. It seems a no brainer that if you are looking to spend every week of your life for potentially years at a business then you would want to know a lot about the company, its background, the people, the clients etc. I echo the above point made, prepare and ask some intelligent questions it really makes a candidate stand out.
I'm disappointed with this post - it's much more about how to impress at 'interview' than how to impress at 'SEO interview'.
I would say build up a great case study that can be used to demonstrate your knowledge. Everyone can read a book and quote it but what I look for is real experience of what went well and what didn't. I would exect anyone in this field to quote something that took some tweaking, learning on the job and a few times to get right. It is this logical thinking and adaptability that I would want.
From a pure SEO point of view, I am more interested in a candidate who is able to apply logic and is willing to argue their case (be it right or wrong) for a particular scenario or technique.
I want people with fire in their bellies who will add something to the mix, rather than blank canvases who just want to be trained.
@Alex Wares:
You know, they could just... *cough* google it and that's why they don't have so few question about company itself - they have found everything they wanted to know ;)
But OK - not everything can be found on the Internet, so it's always a good idea to get information from the original source (however director may be not the most objective source - You wouldn't say "atmosphere at my company sucks", would You? ;) ).
Nice post.

Though specific requirements may vary between states and companies, a mortgage underwriter typically only requires a high school diploma and experience in the mortgage or real estate industry. Other requirements may include special certification from a college or the Federal Housing Authority and knowledge of financial risk and different housing plans and programs.Continue Reading
The primary responsibility of a mortgage underwriter is to assess the potential risk for a financial institution in extending a home loan to a client through an analysis of the applicant's current financial history and the general housing market in the area. Most states only stipulate a high school diploma as the education requirement for residential mortgage underwriters, though some states may call for special certification or attendance in programs to qualify. Most companies also place additional requirements on applicants to ensure the knowledge and experience of employees, which typically includes a minimum amount of practical experience as an insurance underwriter or relevant real estate professional.
Underwriters must know about the rules and requirements of federal housing laws and the function of special programs, such as those that help veterans or first-time homeowners. These institutions may decrease the risk of applicants due to federal financial assistance. Some jobs may also call for a certification from a local or federal mortgage or lending institution, which shows an understanding of risk assessment abilities and knowledge of housing laws in that area.Learn more about Career Aspirations

text: LONDON, England - Triple Formula 1 World champion Sebastian Vettel is ready to put on his racing gloves and defend his throne after spending his winter break tinkering around the house.The 25-year-year-old Red Bull driver said at Sunday's launch of the new RB9 racing car he'd been doing some odd jobs at home in Switzerland since the end of the 2012 season ."I was mostly at home, it was important for me to just enjoy it and the things that were waiting there. Some DIY (do-it-yourself) and stuff you had no time to fix during the season and I enjoyed being in my own bed, doing my own breakfast rather than sleeping in a hotel and having the buffet," said the German."You always want what you don't have, so usually when we are travelling a lot and sleeping in hotels you are really looking forward to coming back and sleeping in your own bed."Vettel did not go into details about his 'DIY', saying it was just "some stuff that keeps lying around for the whole year".A HOME FOR HIS TROPHIESThere's a sneaky suspicion it might have involved work on extending his trophy cabinet. The hat-trick champion now has 26 GP' titles with Red Bull and one with Toro Rosso to his name. He said in March 2012 - before he had added another five race wins to his tally - that he was running out of shelf space for his trophies.He also told reporters then that he liked to have the championship trophy on his kitchen table, with others in the living room, but he was intending to create a proper place to put them.With the season kicking off on March 17 in Australia, Vettel should have plenty more coming along in the pipeline with Red Bull again the team to beat.The champion said he was ready now to "put the hammer down" (to go flat out) on the race track as well."It's one thing to do all the talking now, but as soon as you have the hammer down you want to perform and do your best," he said with a grin.A NEW LADYVettel has believes the cars he has driven are the fairer gender and has given names such as 'Kate', on to 'Kate's Dirty Sister', 'Luscious Liz', 'Randy Mandy', 'Kinky Kylie' and last year's 'Abbey' to all his cars. There's been no hint about the RB9 as he said "it surely will take some time, first we need to get to know each other."He said he would sit down with his mechanics in the week before the Australian season-opener and throw around some names.There is a lot of serious work to do and Vetttel recognised that it was likely to be a tough season, with the regulations very similar to last year and teams possibly closer than ever."It all starts again from zero and it will be tough to beat Mark (Webber), tough to beat the other guys and other teams because they will try everything to beat us."Obviously the last three years have been very good for us and we managed to beat them, but there is no guarantee or nothing that helps us to keep on winning or doing a good job."

If you are planning to build a home in Costa Rica, it is imperative you find the right builder. Costa Rica is no different than many other countries in that permits must be issued and the project periodically inspected to ensure local building codes are respected. One big difference is: Costa Rica is a very environmentally conscious nation and often special permits must be obtained to build in certain areas. This is especially true of any location near the coastline. A quality builder will know how to follow the rules and fulfill the requirements to the satisfaction of the local authorities.
After 20 years of living in Costa Rica I have a VERY SHORT list of builders I recommend:
Whether you plan to build a dream home or buy a home in Costa Rica let me help you walk through the process.

Tuesday evening, 6pm, humid. I get out of work, cross over to Rembrandtplein and go.
The pigeons rule Rembrandtplein. There are a series of benches with small trees interlocking over them that are perpetually covered in bird shit. I see tourists eating kebab on them all the time.
The plein is dotted with touristy, stag party type bars and clubs.
Crossing Thorbeckplein, I head south down the scenic little Reguliersgracht. This canal intersection is always busy.
Girls spray painting their bikes.
I feel like I've seen this stencil in several cities. Does anyone else recognize the source?
Starting a little #streetart side gig. Keep an eye out.
I like the fact that Amsterdam is sexually tolerant enough that you can poster up the entire city with ads for an overt gay cruising app without any controversy.
Speaking of seeing things all over the city, I see this sticker everywhere. Whoever Maud is, someone really wants her to be free.
Great color formations on this canal boat.
Looking back toward Fredericksplein. There's a great little French country restaurant owned and 100% operated by a sole French woman. It's delicious.
Nice collection of stickers on this bakfiets.
Bike skeletons.
Bottom end of Reguliersgracht looking west toward the Rijksmuseum, seen in the distance.
Crossing over to the outer canal separating the Centrum from De Pijp, there is this row of bizarre looking trees lining the canal. They're thick and bulbous at the bottom, and then end in shrubby, bare limbs.
#tapeup — my new medium.
Birdie wants a tattoo on Albert Cuypstraat.
Go teams!

I have been working at The British Assessment Bureau full-time
BAB is a fantastically wondrous family run business where you really feel valued and supported. Never a dull day here! Happy to say it's the best job I've had, with the best employers and of course, the best team!
Mildly repetitive... but if you're weird like me, and enjoy that sort of thing, you'll be fine! Nothing else really aside from that :)
I have been working at The British Assessment Bureau as a contractor (More than 5 years)
then main area of enjoyment for me has always been the ability to meet a wide variety of clients.
sometimes the long journeys especially on a Friday afternoon in the West Country during summer!!
I have been working at The British Assessment Bureau full-time
As an assessor/auditor at BAB covering a large region, it's great to know that I have all the support I need from our head office team on a day to day basis. The job takes you to interesting places and you get to meet a wide range of clients. So, whilst you are working on your own, there's no feeling of isolation. The diary team works hard to make sure that the amount of travelling time is minimised and the superb IT infrastructure that BAB provides is critical in regard to accessing the information I need and in the writing and submission of reports. There's a very strong team culture at BAB with a proactive management team who make every effort to make sure your voice is heard.
No real downsides in relation to the organisation. The time spent driving and writing reports are the two most challenging areas, however, this is to be expected given the role. BAB have gone to great lengths to address these areas and to provide a positive work/life balance for each member of the audit team.

For Fall to Grace, the follow-up, the singer worked almost exclusively with the duo of Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran) and Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack). Naturally, as a result, it's more of a piece than merely a collection of songs. That's not to say that Gosling and Hooper don't provide Faith with a wide variety of backdrops. There's synth pop that pulses, electro-disco that just about bursts, ballads that occasionally preen and frequently roar, and grand Phil Spector-meets-Baz Luhrmann pop that teems with florid desperation. The significant uptick in theatrical flair pushes Faith to put forth maximum-effort vocal showcases that place the sound of her voice far above the meaning of the song. This steamrolls the potential for subtlety and even humor; in "Blood, Sweat & Tears," "You tell me I'm a handful, but believe me, I know" is sung with the same level of chest-beating desperation as "We can conquer the world, leave our footprints on earth." For every bullseye, like the white-hot cover of the Northern soul favorite "Let Me Down Easy," there's a wild misfire, like the societal ballad "Black and Blue" — the wrong material for a singer with a larger than life image and affected approach to singing. Commercially, she's faring well. Artistically, she's still coming into her own.

What problem do they solve? An increase in the volume and complexity of data makes it increasingly difficult for network operators to maintain data visibility for network monitoring and security tools. Without a comprehensive monitoring of these networks, enterprises are vulnerable to data breaches, failures in compliance, and compromised reliability for end-users.
All of these factors can put IT in the stressful position of reacting to threat after threat instead of proactively monitoring and anticipating potential problem areas.
What they do: Gigamon's GigaVUE-HD8 appliance is a high-density intelligent data access switch, which provides network visibility and data access in high-density environments. Network traffic is replicated and filtered to monitoring and security tools, at full line-rate speeds. The data filtering architecture alleviates the burden on other tools and resources.
Why they're an up-and-comer: In 2010, Gigamon received $22.8 million in Series A funding from Highland Capital Partners. High-profile customers include MasterCard, Comcast, Intel and Cisco. According to the company, Gigamon has been profitable since 2006 and continues to expand roughly 50% each year.
What problem do they solve? How does a company maintain the visibility into applications that were once housed entirely on-site? And how does any organization assure customers that performance will rival previous service? If issues arise, how do you pinpoint the origin of the problem? Not knowing can leave organizations of all sizes with a gap in confidence and a lack of performance assurance for clients.
What they do: Network Instruments provides a network and application monitoring platform that fully integrates views of performance so that administrators can see comparative views of applications, networks, and the entire infrastructure to find pain points or indications of potential problems. Network Instruments measures performance from the end-user on through to the cloud provider.
Network Instrument's performance management platform allows IT operations managers to isolate issues as soon as they arise, investigating and remedying the cause before critical losses occur. IT teams can track performance and availability in real time or retrospectively, and they can also compare the performance of internally hosted services to those from service providers.
Fully customizable online reports help IT pros provide proof of issues to vendors, ISPs, or cloud providers for smoother remediation. Their system also allows IT teams to run network tests and input synthetic transactions to test the network or its components.
Why they're an up-and-comer: Well, they're not. Network Instruments has been around since 1994. Recently, though, the company realized that they had to roll the cloud into their monitoring and management solutions or they would risk being obsolete soon.
This explains why they're in this roundup. Incumbents giving lip service to today's major trends – virtualization, cloud, mobile – risk being passed by newer, hungrier, more up-to-date competitors. Incumbents who aggressively move into these new spaces, and roll new services into existing products, however, are well positioned to not just survive but thrive.
For Network Instruments, the shift is paying off. The fact that they can help cloud consumers enforce SLAs helps CIOs justify moving critical assets to the cloud, since they know they can ensure acceptable performance levels.
Seventy of the Global Fortune 100 Companies use Network Instruments' products. Customers include leading names in Aerospace, Automotive, Banking, Communications, Computing, Education, Government, Retail and more.
What problem do they solve? Whether an IT service is deployed in the data center, a public cloud, or in a hybrid cloud, IT operations should be actively aware of service availability and performance. However, this is difficult to accomplish using traditional management tools. Some managers may piece together various proprietary tools to attempt to get a holistic view of infrastructures, but those views can often leave critical gaps, overlooking critical inefficiencies that can impact performance.
What they do: ScienceLogic EM7 brings performance monitoring, fault detection, availability, asset management, service desk functions, automation and event management under one cohesive platform that not only gives visibility into, but that can also help manage all applications and components regardless of their location on the network. Deployed via an appliance model with a centralized data repository, unified code base, and a dynamic discovery process, ScienceLogic's EM7 is designed to work immediately out of the box, instead of taking months or longer to reach full operational value.
To support multi-tenancy, ScienceLogic provides high-level granular data, such as service levels and availability, performance levels, ticket queues and bandwidth usage for billing and analysis. Service providers can efficiently add services across virtual and cloud resources, and customize and brand them – without integrating multiple management tools. Finally, an intelligent service-level view allows tracking and analyzing resources as they are reallocated, reassessing each component as it relates to overall service delivery.
Why they're an up-and-comer: Last year venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates invested $15 million in ScienceLogic specifically to accelerate the company's growth in cloud management. More than 150 organizations, including Cisco, Hughes Networks, Navy Knowledge Online, Department of Treasury and Fasthosts, use ScienceLogic EM7.

Pay smart.
Blue Code works like cash — just on your smartphone
Download the App now and do cashless payments at over 4500 partners.
Fast. Secure. Simple.
Blue Code offers you a network of retailers all over Austria that keeps on growing.
Where can I pay using Blue Code?
Blue Code is in use at more than 18000 cash registers with all kinds of retailers all over Austria, covering approximately 85% of all food retailers. Yet our network (retailers, online shops, apps, and vending machines) keeps on growing.
You can find all places that accept Blue Code here:
Blue Code is completely anonymous and fully secure. We do not receive or store any confidential banking- or customer data. In addition, the barcode itself is only valid for a short period of time, and therefore highly secure.
Simply useful. Blue Code is brilliant. I'd gone shopping, but had forgotten my wallet. So then I was searching the Playstore for some way of paying with my smartphone, and found Blue Code, and now Blue Code is my favorite way to pay, and I'm glad it's accepted in my favorite stores.
Walking into Konsum without cash and without any card and pay using Blue Code. Works without a problem, all of the time, even with a pre-paid cell phone!
Wouldn't want to be without it! Been waiting for a while now for ApplePay, but this app actually renders it obsolete. (…) Until 3 months ago, I hadn't heard of the app, but I've been an Erste Bank customer for years (and I've been an iPhone owner for 10). The app's totally stable on Apple Watch S2 as well! I use it to pay in stores whenever there's the opportunity. TOP APP! ??

I am 4 1/2 mos. pregnant with my first baby! Im so excited, but I am taking methadone. Can anyone help me know what to expect?
3 answers
Hi, my name is Jenn and I am about 4 1/2 monthes pregnant with my first baby! I am totally excited and soo ready to take on this responsibility! The only thing that I am struggling to deal with is the fact that I am taking (prescribed) methadone. I am having alot of trouble dealing with the fact that I know my baby will go through withdrawel, and she (or he) will not be able to come home with me right away. I know that this whole procedure can and has been done safely! I have talked to counselors, many docs (including my obgyn), and have done tons of research. I would just like to know if there are any moms, or soon to be moms, that are out there that can give me a little insight on what they went through? I would really apperciate it! Thank you <3

i would be careful because i was in the same situation and my doc said if there is any drugs including that in my babys system on the day of her birth the state of florida will take mybaby away start a detox plan slowly get off it by you 8 1/2 mark social services dont mess around these days by the time you get a chance to get your child back she will have a new family. i dont know if that helped but i have faith no matter what the reason is ur on methodone you will get off it for your babys birth
you should go into detox and try to get off from this asap. i totally agree with the opinion above, your baby will be taken away if he or she is born with anything in their system
Hey, I don't know if you are still reading this site, it's been a while since you wrote, but don't listen to the 2 previous writers, no offense to them. I don't know what your state's laws are around this, so I can't say anything related to that. But I am 12 weeks pregnant with my second child and on Suboxone (SImilar to Methadone). I don't know the reasons for you to be taking Methadone, but as long as it's legal, it shouldn't matter why you take it. I used to be an active addict, I am in recovery now. Without Suboxone, I wouldn't have stopped using Heroin, most likely I would be in jail or I would be dead, and no matter what I would be without my daughter who is now 2 years old, I wouldn't be pregnant with another child, and I wouldn't be married anymore. I live a very normal life. What I'm getting at is that the Suboxone is necessary. Pregnancy is difficult at times, but I know the baby will be okay no matter what. When I asked my doctor about the Suboxone, he was very clear with me. He told me NOT to detox off of the Suboxone. His reasoning was that, although I know how I feel tapering down off of it, there is no way to know if the fetus is doing with withdrawal in the womb. He said it could be potentially deadly for the fetus to try to taper off of it. He also said that withdrawal symptoms differ from baby to baby, but no matter what the NICU would care for my baby and everything will be okay. I told him I was worried that someone would treat me pourly(as a "dirty junkie" or bad mom) in the maternity wing if my baby did suffer from withdrawal symptoms. His response was, if that did happen, to tell him and he would "take care of them". I have a good doctor. I have a good relationship with my Primary Care doctor and OB. They all know my situation and want the best for me and my family. And most important for me is to stay clean or there will be no family to be had. I'm sorry, I talk alot. I don't know your specific situation, but I feel for you. I believe that being honest with yourself and your doctors is the best way to handle this. As long as you are doing the right(legal) thing, there is no reason anyone should treat you or your new baby pourly or judgementally. Hope I helped some. If not, I hope it at least made for good reading. LOL. Take care!!!

A ticket to a male strip show, says Sylvia Tellez, the spokeswoman for Caranso Entertainment, which will present Ladies Only this Friday and Saturday for 1,400 at the Star Theater in Anaheim. The Mexican-produced extravaganza features 12 famous Latino actors and singers, including exMenudo members Rene and Johnny, stripping down à la The Full Monty.
Tellez is not just tooting her own horn. For at least half a decade, the male-stripper phenomenon has had a hold on U.S. Latinas. Its even spread to Mexico, challenging stereotypes deep within the land that perfected machismo.
The popularity of the shows among immigrant Latino women is a sign of deep cultural rifts, says Los Angeles psychologist Ana Nogales. Some Mexican pundits see it as a signal that Mexican women are starting to rebel against their traditional submissive role. In any event, its a marker that Latinas are assimilating with a vengeance.
This type of assimilation isnt necessarily a good thing, says University of La Verne campus minister Maria-Elena Cardeña. She compares the promotion of male strip shows to campaigns to get women to smoke during the swinging 60s.
I would ask of these women, what spiritual void are you trying to fill with this? Cardeña says.
Whatever their deeper meaning, Latina-geared male strip shows are not just selling out huge venues. Latino nightclub owners in L.A. discovered some years ago that a sure way to bring in a steady clientele was to hire a male stripper. As Mario Acevedo, owner of the Salon Coronas in North Hollywood, puts it, A male stripper brings in women. In turn, they attract men.
The beefcake shows have leaped from the stage into the living room, says Johnny Montenegro, owner of Latin Connections, a Los Angeles talent agency that specializes in home-delivered male strippers for Latinas. Whether it be for a bachelorette party, a baby shower or simply a weekend get-together before hitting the clubs (called womens night out), theres definitely a demand for male strippers, Montenegro adds. Some U.S.-born Latinas like to shock their traditional mothers by bringing home a blond, long-maned hunk for Mothers Day, he says.
The home and club competition isnt cutting into arena turnouts. When his cast of g-stringed, carved-ab telenovela stars gyrate onto the stage Saturday, Tellez expects a full house. Solo Para Mujeres sold out the Universal Amphitheater last February.

Actually, we dont, but thats not the point. In a fit of boredom the other night, we tuned in to an MTV episode of Scared Straight! 99. If youre not familiar with the scared straight phenomenon, its an anti-drug, anti-crime docudrama concept around since the 80s in which minors with bad attitudes and budding criminal records are taken to visit a prison, where they are berated by the hardened convicts in order to scare them straight. Okay, fair enough (although a young friend of ours who spent some time in jail says that the whole thing doesnt really work).
But the thing that caught OffBeats interest during the program was that none of the swear words (and there were a lot of em, friends) were bleeped out. To be fair, there were disclaimers warning about the language at the beginning of the show and after commercial breaks. However, in light of the fact that sexually oriented material, obscenities and the like are regularly hacked out of videos and interviews aired on MTV, it appeared to be a clear case of selective censorship.
MTV denies censorship of any kind. Scared Straight was a very special program, and part of our Fight for Your Rights campaign, said an MTV spokesperson, referring to the channels anti-violence and anti-hate-crime public-affairs campaign. We do not censor videos . . . we leave that creative process to the record labels. Broadcast networks are held to industry guidelines that are imposed by the Federal Communications Commission, whereas cable is not . . . those are totally voluntary, adopted by cable television. We provide feedback to the labels that is in line with our own standards and practices, and they make the necessary changes in order to provide consideration for airing on MTV.
The whole concept of MTV purveying moral values is an oxymoron anyway, but lets not go there. The simple fact is that anti-censorship is parroted by MTV officials when its in their own interest, i.e., under the self-serving guise of youth education. But when four-letter words are included in something artistic, i.e., that devil rock & roll, bring on the Hays Office.

This aint your mamas church, cracked one observer, viewing the vivid décor inside the Crescent Heights United Methodist Church in West Hollywood last Sunday. The occasion was Gods Gaity Among the Laity, a holy union service for Jay Fritz and William Hayes (together eight years) staged as a protest against the Methodists ban on gay marriage. Under a rainbow-flag chuppa and a torn rainbow curtain (both created by the gay insignias original designer, Gilbert Baker), Fritz and Hayes performed the centuries-old slave marriage tradition of jumping the broom (with commentary by an African-American Buddhist in a dashiki) and the Jewish ritual of breaking the glass. A transgender Native American shaman read the invocation. Folk singer Ross Altman sang The Night Judy Garland Died, the strings of the Quartetto Venezia played Pachelbels Canon, and David Nash and Laurie Franks belted out a Broadwayesque Youll Never Walk Alone. At ceremonys end, Fritz and Hayes kissed to a roar from 100 congregants and friends.
Presiding over the marriage were lay minister Scott Imler, no stranger to hubbub in his roles as director of the Los Angeles Cannabis Resource Cooperative and co-author of the Proposition 215 medical-marijuana initiative, and his partner of 12 years, George Leddy. Imler held up the Methodist Book of Discipline (It sounds more fun than it is, he quipped) and read aloud the section, Ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions shall not be conducted by our ministers and shall not be conducted in our churches. He then compounded his open defiance by performing communion (a no-no for lay preachers).
Meanwhile, Crescent Heights Uniteds official pastor, the Rev. John Griffin, was at the Methodists General Conference in Cleveland, poised to join mass arrests protesting the gay-wedding ban. Leading the demonstrations will be former Jerry Falwell adviser the Rev. Mel White, joined by Martin Luther King Jr.s daughter, Yolanda, and Mahatma Gandhis grandson, Arun. While the Methodists have mustered the courage to condemn the U.S. militarys bombing of the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, and confessed to the sin of racism against African-Americans, theyre not expected to locate the guts or vision to permit humans to pair off with the mate of their choice.
The Rev. Robert L. Kuyper, founder of the gay-unfriendly Transforming Congregations movement, who was on hand for the nuptials, said nothing would be gained. I dont think itll be any more effective than blessing the drink of an alcoholic in a bar. Youre still gonna get drunk from it.
But the happy couple felt progress had been made. To have stood onstage and had our relationship blessed in front of friends, family and strangers . . . what more could you ask for? said Fritz.
Except for a real wedding, a smiling Hayes added.

City Council Member Jackie Goldbergs call for an investigation into the length of time she was jailed in support of striking janitors has set off a furor. Goldberg protested that eight hours was too long to spend in the pokey for an act of civil disobedience, even if she sought the arrest herself. An L.A. Times editorial accused her of treating her incarceration as a star turn; Goldberg responded that she was trying to get to the bottom of an overly punitive police response.
Now, the flap got OffBeat curious about the jail time endured by other leaders in causes of freedom and justice. Herewith, a comparison chart:

"Samuel is an incredible human being. He understands how important it is to uplift the human family and has done so with the founding of Extreme Energy Solutions. He and his company are doing remarkable things to be of benefit to society." – Al Cole
(PRWEB) November 14, 2014
The People of Distinction Humanitarian Foundation names Samuel K. Burlum one of this year's Unsung Heros who were honored at the People of Distinction Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, October 28, 2014, at The City University of New York Graduate Center in New York City.
Burlum joins an impressive cast of other honorees including actress Dee Wallace, actor Johnathon Schaech, US Marine Chief Warrant Officer 4 Nick J. D'Andrea, Dr. William Karesh, Academy Award winning actress Celeste Holm and several other distinguished individuals who have made a significant contribution to their community and society.
The People of Distinction Humanitarian Foundation is led by author, talk radio host, musician, and public speaker, Al Cole. Cole is a ten year veteran of CBS Radio and wrote the books "The Spirit of Romance", and "Al Cole's Romance for Women." In addition, Cole continues to host his independent radio talk show, "People of Distinction".
"Samuel is an incredible human being. He understands how important it is to uplift the human family and has done so with the founding of Extreme Energy Solutions," Cole offered, "He and his company are doing remarkable things to be of benefit to society."
"Besides helping the environment, Burlum has taken steps to help displaced and homeless veterans. He has done amazing things to aid his community from assisting and donating to local 5k runs that benefit the local first responders to hiring veterans, creating jobs, to helping promote and preserve the arts. He has proven he is a 'Person of Distinction' and we are proud to add him to this year's roster of honorees," added Al Cole.
"I am very touched that I was nominated by the People of Distinction, added Burlum, "it's a true honor to be standing with such a distinguished group of individuals."
Burlum was nominated by Vera Anne Matty, a recipient of the People of Distinction Honor in 2013. Ms. Matty is an artist and writer who is a member of the Board of Directors of the United Nations Unesco. Ms. Matty was honored in 2013 for her work with the New York Unemployment Project. "We need more Samuel Burlums in the world," professed Ms. Matty, "he is a wonderful young man who leads a company that is providing technology that helps address important societal concerns."
"He cares about his community, country, and fellow man," continued Matty, "his story is inspiring and is one that needs to be told."
Sam Burlum is the CEO and President of Extreme Energy Solutions of Ogdensburg, New Jersey, a company which researches, develops, manufactures, markets, and services green technology. Burlum created many company policies aimed to establish his company as a positive influence in the community.
Under Burlum's leadership, the company vowed in 2011 that the majority of its products would be Made in the USA, thereby contributing to the much needed job growth of the country. The company also created a policy to give preference to veterans during the hiring process. Today 70% of the Extreme Energy Solutions staff and leadership are veterans.
Recently, Burlum introduced a cause marketing platform to the company. The company has contributed to many local causes, including Ogdensburg's own historic 5k run, known as "A Major Race in a Miner Town." Extreme is also a huge advocate of veteran causes and helped orchestrate the "A Salute To Our Vets" event in partnership with local non-profit Spirit of the Arts Foundation.
The event raised more than $4000 for veteran service organizations. Extreme Energy Solutions recently contributed another veteran cause, Save a Warrior Foundation.
Burlum has spoken at various colleges and universities, sharing his knowledge and insight in a multitude of areas including entrepreneurship and business management and has offered technical advisement for other academic related activities. Professor Dr. Lovely Thornton, of Towson University, had Samuel Burlum speak to her students on diversity in business. "His global exposure and position as president of Extreme Energy Solutions has served as a great frame of reference as he shared his vision and path to success" noted Thornton.
Sam Burlum and his staff provided sponsorship and advisement to the Clarkson University Clean Snowmobile Team during the 2013 SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge. Clarkson used the Smart Emissions Reducer in that year's competition, which led to the team winning first place in the fuel economy challenge. Later in the year, Extreme teamed up with KAUST University in Saudi Arabia to address the air pollution concerns in their country.
Burlum has served a number of organizations including the Informal Business Owners Group of Northern Jersey (a not-for-profit club) as an officer-secretary (2014) and served as Board Secretary for the Spirit of the Arts Foundation (a 501c3) in 2012 and 2013, led by Director and Chair, Sandy Mitchell.
"This man does not know the meaning of quit," Mitchell shared at a gathering in 2012 at Extreme's headquarters, "we really appreciated his contribution. He was a real asset to SOTA."
Beverly White, CEO/President of the consulting firm, BKW Transformations has also worked with Burlum and even shared the stage with him at The Council's Sustainability Summit in 2012.
"Samuel is an innovative and creative guy. He looks for solutions to problems where everyone feels they won at the end of the day," White provided, "He is one of the few CEO's that understands the importance of Main Street. He has an understanding of the global village and extended his company's reach to the Middle East and China, where they are still coming to terms with tackling environmental issues."
Other people have offered a vote of confidence in Samuel Burlum as well. An automotive industry legend, former CEO and Chairman of Chrysler, Lee Iacocca, wrote a letter to Mr. Burlum citing that "your (Burlum) resume is impressive."
New York Assemblyman Clifford Crouch also recognized Burlum in saying that "You are paving a way to create a greener environment, along with supplying our state with needed jobs. I commend you for your efforts and offer my endorsement of your initiatives here in New York State."
Sam Burlum and his company were also honored in 2013 by the World Green Energy Symposium as the winner of the 2013 NOVA Award. Professor Robert Gallagher, Executive Chair of the WGES mentioned "Extreme Energy Solutions was chosen for the honor on its potential impact on reducing emissions from existing gasoline and diesel engines that currently comprise the majority of vehicles on the road today. Their flagship product, the Smart Emissions Reducer is found to be a cost effective retrofit providing an immediate solution for today's environmentally conscious consumers. The innovation is a here and now solution."
On behalf of Extreme Energy Solutions, Burlum was also presented a proclamation by Passaic Valley Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 181 naming Extreme as Passaic County's "2013 Company of the Year in the area of Professional Environmentally Friendly Energy Products."
Burlum, a graduate of Berkeley College, with a degree in business management, also lends his expertise to other emerging businesses that need advisement. He has provided commentary for a number of public policy measures and advocates for small business as a member of the Leadership Council-National Small Business Association.
Burlum was also featured on Today in America, hosted and Narrated by NFL Football Legend Terry Bradshaw, which aired nationwide on the Discovery Channel and other major networks.

St. Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city in terms of population, and one of the country's leading industrial, research and cultural centres. It is rightly considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The cultural landmarks in the city's historic downtown core are listed as UNESCO world heritage sites.
Its advantageous geographical location makes St. Petersburg one of the world's critical transportation and trading hubs. Heavy international road, rail, air and marine traffic travels through the city on a daily basis. This is driving expansion of the city's economic ties and leading to dramatic growth in its industrial potential: experiencing active development are such sectors as energy, heavy machine-building, the automotive industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and a burgeoning IT and telecommunications cluster.
Recent years have witnessed the implementation of ambitious investment projects targeting development of the city's infrastructure. A new international airport has been put into operation, and the curtain has gone up on the second stage of the Mariinsky Theatre. Construction is ongoing on the Western Highspeed Diameter, a toll motorway, as well as on the football stadium on Krestovsky Island. What's more, the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre has been fully commissioned and is now operating successfully.
The unique atmosphere of St. Petersburg stems from its rich scientific and cultural potential. St. Petersburg has truly earned the right to its lofty name of "open-air museum." The city boasts hundreds of museums, palaces, monuments, squares, fountains, and exhibitions both temporary and permanent.
St. Petersburg is also a universally-recognised business-tourism hub. Every year, the city hosts such world-class events as the G8 Summit, the G20 Summit, the St. Petersburg World Economic Forum, the Russia-ASEAN Business Forum, and many more. St. Petersburg's prominence as a truly-European convention centre has been bolstered with the opening of the new ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre, capable of hosting events of any scale at the highest caliber.

Bombing Yemen.
Bombing Syria.
Bombing and droning, and droning and bombing.
Bomb. Bomb. Bomb.
That's Bomber Trump.
And he is now illegally invading Syria, something he warned Obomber dozens of times not to do!
But at least the Infopervs millionaires will get their yuuuge tax cuts. So, phew!
Mike Harris, editor at Veterans Today, believes the deployment of the US High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to Syria is "illegal" and "unconstitutional," adding that it is a proof that the US government has been hijacked and has betrayed the American people.
"[US Defense Secretary] General [James] Mattis, he should resign or he should be tried for treason because what he is doing right now is unconstitutional, he has no congressional authority, Congress has not declared a state of war, the US is operating a de facto invasion of Syria," Harris told Press TV in an interview on Thursday.

The Global Warming religion
I haven�t posted much to this site as the two sides in this debate had become very fanatical and I don�t like dealing with fanatics. Since the site is dedicated to looking at both sides of the debate, fanaticism made that impractical. Regardless of the validity of a claim by one side, the other side always condemned it as a lie. Rarely was there scientific discussion as to the validity of the claim or how it was misunderstood but rather a general condemnation. Even the discussion that the other side was unreasonable has become fanatical � can you ever envision a reasonable conversation between Hannity and Gore?

Brett, Doringcourt and I have now been based in Isernhagen, Germany for almost 6 weeks now. The time is flying by and it is so hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner.
I thought I would give everyone a little update and insight to my training regime at Leonie and Volker's stables.
The beautiful facility at Leonie and Volker's.
At 6.30am the alarm goes off and we crawl out of bed. At the moment it is not becoming light until around 8am and the sun is setting again between 3 and 4pm. It has taken a few weeks for our body clocks to adjust to this and I have to wake up to a shot of Nespresso every morning to kick start my day! Hay is fed first in the morning and then the mucking out begins at 7am. The stables are all clean, swept and horses happily eating their breakfast by 8am. We then grab a quick bite to eat (sometimes that means a bakery run) and then into a day of training and helping out where needed.
The horses range from young babies being broken in right through to Advanced/Grand Prix horses. We are training in the arena together, sometimes 5-6 horses going at a time with Leonie keeping a close eye on us all and helping us get the horses more through their bodies and training their weaknesses to enable them to progress up the levels with much more quality. This is what I love about being at Leonie's. You have the opportunity to ride so many different types of horses, some very good and some quite normal. The challenge is to turn them into something special and I believe this is what teaches you to ride well.
At the moment the stables have a great team of Riders and Grooms from Germany and England. It is such a nice environment to train in with a real international flair. Luckily for us everyone is speaking perfect english. However, our New Years resolution is to take up German lessons. It is a nice challenge for us to learn a new language and I feel it is the right thing to do. My Father always said to me "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". It has become a ritual that every Monday night we take turns in cooking a meal for everyone at Leonie and Volker's place. Last week we treated everyone to Roast Beef, it will be the first and last time we do that as meat is so expensive over here it nearly sent us broke!

Doringcourt is coming along in leaps and bounds. He is looking and feeling like a Grand Prix horse and comes out of the stable and into the arena every day with a little bit more confidence, energy, strength and power. I also am feeling so much more confident with the Grand Prix work and am getting my head around all the new movements and putting them together. The jump from Advanced to Grand Prix is huge!! The amount of detail that has to go into every movement is so precise and important for the rider to get right so you can get the most out of your horse. I am ever so grateful to Leonie for continuing to share with me her wealth of knowledge. I now realise at this point in our career how important it is to have help on the ground nearly every single day! Today we managed 16 one tempi's and some wonderful passage. I am really excited to get back into the competition arena early next year and put it all together!
Doringcourt and I – November 2013.
I feel so lucky to have been introduced to some fantastic Practioneers to work alongside Doringcourt and I to keep us both healthy and in top shape. He has an amazing new Physio who is working with him every 4-6 weeks and I have a new Chiropractor who has also studied Chinese Medicine who has been very helpful for my riding and and making sure I stay sitting straight and balanced on the horses. Every Monday night at Leonie's we have a rider fitness class taken by a Physiotherapist and Pilates teacher. She gives us many different stretches and exercises to do and also helps us with our core strength and stability.
All the horses are on a fantastic feeding programme which is so important for their performance and body development. They are getting fed hay 4 times a day alternating it twice with balege. They get hard fed three times a day and at lunch time get fresh carrots with their feed. They are all taken out of their stables every day to be worked, lunged, walked or just to go in the sand paddocks. This keeps all the horses so happy in their minds and allows them to have a good roll and buck. Even in the Winter they are turned out in the paddocks to get some fresh air. A week ago we experienced our first sprinkling of snow, it was so nice to watch the broodmares having a play around.

At the end of November Brett and I went and watched the Stallion Approval of the Oldenburg 3 year old Stallions. What a wonderful experience this was witnessing some beautiful young Stallions. The next day the De Niro x Rosario that was named Champion of the Oldenburg Stallion Licensing was sold for 910,000 Euros. See the link below for more information.

We also managed to sneak away to Berlin for a few days to catch up with some friends that are travelling around Europe. What an amazing city Berlin is, filled with so much history, beautiful buildings and interesting people. A place highly recommended on my list of places to visit.

On another note Brett and I will be heading home to New Zealand and Australia for one months visit early 2014. We have not set any exact dates as of yet but I will post them on my Website and Facebook page as soon as they are confirmed. We will both be teaching and holding clinics in both New Zealand and Australia, Brett will also be breaking in some horses at my home in Dairy Flat, Auckland. There will be limited spaces available for horses and clinics. If there is any expression of interest or you require more information please don't hesitate to contact me email@example.com
Well as this year comes to a close I would like to wish all my Family, Friends, Sponsors and Supporters a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and Happy New Year. Enjoy the festive season and I look forward to sharing with you what I hope will be a very successful 2014!!

The price of Bitcoin has passed $13,000, and it is now acting as a digital asset. But with the spike in value, many people are wondering if this is a bubble or just the beginning.
