Is the US Fish and Wildlife Service examining Bigfoot tissue? Some very interesting photos were published on Rhett Mullis' Facebook page recently dealing with Rhett's trip with Dr. Brian Sykes and his wife, Uhla (That is a Dutch name; she is Swedish-Dutch).
They went to see Justin Smeja, and Sykes took a sample from Justin's boot where the baby Bigfoot bled on it. The problem is there has been some contamination after the incident. Justin continued to wear the boots for a while, and the worst problem of all was when he was fishing in a boat in brackish (partly salty) water, and the boat started to sink and he had to wade thirty feet in waist deep water to get to the shore. That's not good for the blood on the boots.
They went to see a number of folks on their trip, including Steven Streufert of Bigfoot Books in Bluff Creek, California.
Then they went to see Ray Crowe in Washington. I heard that he was on his deathbed a while back, and they were counting down the days before he died. Then I heard nothing for a bit. Then at some point, he made a long comment on my blog. He had returned from the dead! Then he sent me an email asking if I would like a copy of his latest book, and he sent it to me. He has since written me a few more times, and I think he's a really nice guy, and he's also now my friend. Ray's one of the finest souls in all Bigfootery, and apparently he and Rhett are close.
In these latest photos, Ray doesn't look so great, but at least he's above ground. How do you make it out of a certain deathbed, beat the reaper and get up and stroll the Earth for a while more? I don't get it, but it sure is nice. Jesus is my main man, and I think he came back from the dead. It's always nice to see others do the same as my main man. Walk in Jesus' footsteps indeed, Ray!
They also, very curiously, went to the premier wildlife investigation lab in the whole US, the main US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lab in Medford, Oregon. There they met some of the techs and spent quite a bit of time with Ken Goddard, the head of the lab. There are photos of Ken, Rhett and Brian posing with various artifacts, and there is one curious photo of Goddard posing with a photo of a Bigfoot drawn recently by a prominent Bigfoot artist.
None of this makes any sense to me unless someone knows something I do not know. The USFWS and the US government as a whole has never wanted to associate itself at all with Bigfootery, and they have done nothing but deny it if not ridicule it. Now here is the premier scientist at the top USFWS investigative wildlife lab in the US posing with some of the most prominent Bigfooters (who happen to be engaged in very cutting edge research about Bigfoot DNA) and holding up drawings of Bigfoots in a non-joking way.
The only way this makes sense is if the folks at this USFWS lab now either believe in Bigfoot or think that Bigfoot's existence is a serious hypothesis. What I am getting at here is that Ken Goddard and others at the lab appear to be taking Bigfoot very seriously right now for some odd reason.
Even more stunning is the notion that they may be working with Bigfoot samples at this very moment. Could they be investigating Bigfoot samples right now? Indeed they are, but these are more "purported" Bigfoot samples than real Bigfoot samples proven in one way or another. I can now report that Goddard's lab is one of the official backup labs for Sykes' Bigfoot study! How Sykes managed to get the US government involved in testing purported Bigfoot tissue I have no idea, but perhaps he can pull a few strings.
Recall also that Rick Dyer's Bigfoot is being held at some sort of a government research facility somewhere near Las Vegas, Nevada. It's guarded, and it's hard to get into the place. Whether it is actually a government facility or not is somewhat up in the air. Dyer said it was not a government facility, but it may operate off government grants. A person very much in know about the facility described it to me as a "government research facility." This person also told me that a team of government scientists have been studying Dyer's Bigfoot for the past five months.
It stands to reason that if a US government research team has been studying the most bizarre wildlife creature in the US if not the world that the premier USFWS lab in Medford, Oregon may somehow be working in conjunction with this team to study the weirdest creature the woods have ever yielded.
However, upon questioning, Goddard said that he had never heard of the Dyer shooting, and at any rate, his lab was not analyzing anything from the shooting if it even occurred at all. Goddard also stated that he had connections at other government facilities, and while it was possible that Dyer's Bigfoot was at some state facility, he had not heard of it. Goodard also said that he was close to USFWS authorities in Texas, and he had not heard anything from them about the Dyer Bigfoot shooting or their involvement. The logical assumption is that USFWS is not involved in the Dyer shooting in any way.
Goddard's lab deals specifically with wildlife crimes, hence they would not be involved in the Dyer case anyway as Goddard stated that no crime had been committed in that case. Goddard stated that shooting a Bigfoot is legal in all parts of the US except Skamania County, Washington.
At any rate, Goddard and his crew know something and are up to something. What do they know and what are they up to? They don't seem to be denying the existence of Bigfoot anymore, based on their behavior. Now why is that? What in the heck is going on?
Dr. Brian Sykes now believes in Bigfoot's existence 100%. After a trip to Washington state where Sykes and Rhett went to some public land that Lori Simmons and her father have been studying for years, Sykes experienced something while there that effected him so greatly that Sykes now says he believes that Bigfoots are real. What did he experience up there? Sykes is a prominent scientist and would not be given to making rash, off the cuff remarks for no reason. What happened to Brian Sykes at Simmons' research area in Washington?

Been back at work after the lovely summer has come as a bit of a shock...
Not much time for wandering.
So to day I made a point of going to the park, it was very quiet and still. Not much Bird song or the flutter of Butterflies, the trees are changing and everything is dying back.
The birds I did see were eating the berries
|Wood Pigeon
There are now two Swans resting over at the pond, and the Mallards were pruning...just starting to change colour.
|Young Mallard
|Mute Swan
The trees were full of seeds and fruit..
There are still Blackberries to pick, this has been one of the best years......
Some of the leaves have started to turn, the park with burst into colour once more the cold sets in.

The state of South Carolina is historically tied to Christian principles, and currently remains an overwhelmingly Protestant territory. The largest Christian group in the state is of the Evangelical Protestant faith, with a membership of nearly 1.5 million. Mainline Protestants, Black Protestants, and Catholics comprise the next-largest denominations in South Carolina, respectively, according to the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA).
Baptists, Methodists, non-denominational, and Presbyterian groups claimed the most adherents within the Christian community, as of 2010, as did Catholics. From 2000 to 2010, Presbyterian-Reformed, Methodist/Pietist, and Lutheran faith groups reported the largest increase in growth of adherents and new congregations in the state.
Education in South Carolina
Initiatives to encourage higher learning in South Carolina have been strong in recent years. In fact, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported a 17.4% increase in fall college enrollment between 2005 and 2010, and the state has been awarded for important initiatives in academic achievement of K-12 students, as well. South Carolina is home to many Christian colleges, including both traditional schools with Christian programs, as well as those with exclusively Christian curriculum.
Erskine College, North Greenville University, and Southern Wesleyan University are among the largest colleges in the area, featuring high-quality faith-based programs in addition to a full range of business, liberal arts, science, and healthcare options, just to name a few. Whether students are looking for Bible and religious studies, theology, Christian studies, or ministry majors, these South Carolina Christian colleges offer diverse and varied learning opportunities that combine higher learning and spiritual pursuits.
Working in South Carolina
South Carolina's labor force is employed mostly by the education services, healthcare and social assistance industry. Manufacturing and retail trade are also dominant industries in the state, according to figures reported in a 2010 Census. With a relatively large overall population, South Carolina also provides a wealth of resources to its residents in the workforce, earning a ranking among Forbes' recent list of "Best States for Business."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) cites jobs in trade, transportation and utilities, government, professional, and business services, as being the most popular in the state.
Many South Carolina Christian colleges have been nationally recognized for academic excellence. Students seeking a fulfilling and well-rounded educational experience at a Christian college in South Carolina may want to read more about the top state schools, below:

At approximately 7:00 p.m. on Friday, three victims were walking along the 1800 block of W. 14th Street when an unknown green van approached and two men exited the vehicle and confronted the victims.
One of the suspects threw one of the victims to the ground and grabbed her purse. The second suspect punched another victim in the face before getting back into the van and fleeing.
The victims say a third male was driving the van.
It was around 8:00 p.m. on Saturday when police say the victim was walking along the 800 block of N. Franklin Street.
A dark colored mini-van, possibly a Chrysler Pacifica, approached the victim and stopped. Two men then exited the passenger side and confronted the victim.
The suspects, each armed with a handgun, demanded the victim's property. They then got back into the van and fled north on N. Franklin Street.
The third incident happened at approximately 10:00 p.m. Saturday on the 1400 block of N. Broom Street.
Police say a 68-year-old woman was walking alone when two men exited a gray van and began running towards her.
The woman ran and yelled for help, but the suspects caught up to her. They stole her purse and one of the suspects punched her in the face, causing minor injury.
The suspects then got back into the van and fled east on Gilpin Avenue.
The first suspect is described as a black male, 20 to 25 years-of-age, standing 5'6" to 5'8", weighing 200 pounds, and wearing dark clothing. The second suspect is described as a black male, 17 to 18 years-of-age, standing 5'8" to 5'10", weighing 190 pounds, and wearing dark clothing. The driver of the van is only described as a black male.

Washington's never-ending budget battle threatened to snarl the recovery from Hurricane Irene as a top Republican said yesterday that any federal aid will have to be offset by spending cuts elsewhere.
"Yes there's a federal role, yes we're going to find the money. We're just going to make sure that there are savings elsewhere," Representative Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the House, told Fox News.
Democrats who oversee disaster funding in the Senate said they won't cut other programs to boost emergency aid.
"It makes no sense to cut programs that help respond to future disasters in order to pay for emergencies that have already occurred,'' Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu said in a prepared statement.
Irene killed at least 30 people and caused substantial property damage from North Carolina to Vermont over the weekend. Cantor's Virginia district was among the areas hit by the storm, and was the epicenter of an earthquake last week.
Obama administration officials said they had no estimate of the storm's cost and were still assessing the damage, but other elected officials and companies have indicated it will likely amount to billions of dollars.
The administration may have to ask Congress for additional funding at a time when lawmakers are debating further budget cuts.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has suspended funding for some rebuilding programs from earlier disasters to ensure that its disaster-relief fund will not run out of money, according to agency administrator Craig Fugate.
President Barack Obama has signed declarations committing the federal government to helping states from North Carolina to New Hampshire cover disaster-response costs.
Tighter disaster budgets
U.S. state and local governments may have to pay for some of the billions of dollars in costs from Hurricane Irene after slashing disaster spending in recent years to shore up bleeding budgets.
That bill will arrive as state and local government revenue remains largely below pre-recession levels, leaving them with tough choices on spending for the recovery from the storm.
The International Association of Emergency Managers estimates the total impact of Hurricane Irene as between $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion.
New York
Spared from Irene's worst fury, New York City went back to work yesterday despite a partially crippled mass transit system and power outages to 100,000 customers. Air travel at New York City's three major area airports slowly resumed service.
New Jersey
Raging waterways caused dramatic flooding yesterday across New Jersey, as the state's rivers and creeks rose from the force of Hurricane Irene. Several rivers have not yet crested, and the rising waters threatened to smash longtime flood records, authorities said.
Western Massachusetts was hit especially hard by the heavy rains, and more than 500,000 customers in Massachusetts remained without power. A town employee from Southbridge, Mass., was electrocuted by a downed power line, authorities said.
President Obama has declared a state of emergency for Vermont, experiencing its worst flooding in recent memory. At least one person was killed after being swept into a swollen river in the mountainous, land-locked New England state, which rarely sees tropical storms.
Some of the nearly 700,000 Connecticut residents without power could remain in the dark for a week or more, said Gov. Dannel Malloy. There has been one storm-related fatality in Connecticut, but officials did not elaborate on details of the death.

Welcome to the online press kit for The Profit Experts™ and The Profit Beacon™
Custom CFO Solutions for Small Business
The Profit Experts™ helps businesses identify and solve profit leaks and gives them "actionable intelligence" to grow and thrive
About half of small businesses fail in the first five years and only about a third survive 10 years or longer, according to the Small Business Administration. One of the biggest reasons: they run out of money.
Many companies use accounting tools such as QuickBooks™ or hire a CPA to track their finances and pay their taxes. But these do not provide the expertise and foresight that a Chief Financial Officer can to preserve cash flow and make smart capital decisions. That's why veteran CFO Fred Parrish founded The Profit Experts™ and created its new software solution, The Profit Beacon™ (TheProfitBeacon.com).
During a 37-year career, Fred has held positions from staff accountant to CEO in public and private companies with revenues ranging from startup to $3.5 billion, and has served on the boards of directors for 12 organizations in aerospace, manufacturing, healthcare services, insurance, international missions, technology and other sectors.
Most small business owners do not have a financial management background, and that puts them at risk, Fred says, of inadvertently making a "fatal decision" at any moment.
"Unfortunately, they may make a decision today that will not materialize into a problem until six months or maybe even a year or two down the road," he says. "And by the time they see it coming, it's too late to do much about it."
While QuickBooks™ gives business owners accounting data to help them pay vendors, get paid by customers and record profits and losses and other tax data, its focus is on historical data, not actionable intelligence for the future. Likewise, most CPAs are compliance-oriented, focusing on past data rather than the numbers that can help business owners make smart decisions going forward.
Many companies are not large enough to employ a full-time CFO, yet they still need the best "operational intelligence" to maintain and grow cash flow and profitability. To fill that gap, Fred created The Profit Experts CFO-supported service, and The Profit Beacon™, a new predictive management software application.
"We want to get people to better decisions faster because there's usually more than one good decision in any particular situation," he says. "And it's a matter of how quickly you can get to a good decision that will determine how much lead time you have to address a problem."
Like a ship in the fog alerted by a lighthouse, the sooner businesses can make course corrections, the better chance they have of avoiding the rocks and emerging from storms to sail smoothly.
As objective professionals, The Profit Experts provide a realistic view of each company's financial position, and the data they need to create a permanent "Profit Mentality." As author of "The Profit Mentality: The Method for Making Every Decision a Profitable Success," Fred is an expert in this area.
Among many success stories of The Profit Experts is a small plumbing company that was headed toward a $150,000 debt that would have put them out of business when they hired The Profit Experts a few years ago.
"We were able to identify a number of areas where there were issues in the business," Fred says. "And so by managing very specific aspects – labor, production for each of the technicians that they were using, adding new technologies and managing the cost and timing – we were able to not only save the business but change the outlook over a five-year period." The result was a swing from $150,000 debt to more than $500,000 in profits.
The Profit Experts works with all kinds of businesses to help them plug profit leaks to improve profitability, cash flow and value, while The Profit Beacon™ does this in the form of an app.
"We have taken the functionality in our predictive management application that is only managed by senior level CFO types, and automated it in an application that the business owners themselves can manage quickly and efficiently, and get similar outputs to what we would give them in the fully supported CFO version. So basically what they get is an automated CFO."
The result is a simple tool designed to empower small business owners to survive and thrive in today's world. Like The Profit Experts, The Profit Beacon™ is built to provide the decision-making power of a CFO without the overhead and at a fraction of the cost.

Heat about 3 inches of peanut oil, in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375 degrees F. Preheat the broiler. Fry the tortillas for 30 to 40 seconds until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Dip the tortillas into the Salsa Roja while still hot, using tongs, and then transfer to serving plates. Top each tortilla with a good spoonful of refried beans and then arrange a sunny side up fried egg on top of the beans. Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, Salsa Roja, cilantro, fried chorizo and lime wedges.
Tear all the chiles into large pieces and toast them in a large dry skillet over medium heat until they change color a bit, about 2 minutes. Add the spices and continue to toast for 2 to 3 minutes until everything is fragrant. Remove from heat and carefully add about 1 cup of hot water to just cover the chiles. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the broiler. Put the quartered tomatoes, sliced onion, and whole garlic cloves onto a roasting tray, spreading out evenly. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with cilantro sprigs. Broil until everything is nicely charred, about 10 minutes (you want lots of deep rich color so don't be afraid if some of the edges get pretty black).
Add the chile mixture to a blender and puree. Remove the tomato/onion mixture from the roasting pan and carefully add it to the blender, (it will be hot). Blend until smooth (you may need to work in 2 batches). Once everything is pureed, pour the mixture back into the pot over low heat adding a little water if the salsa is too thick. Stir in the sugar and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside until ready to use.
Finely chop the chorizo into small dice. In a heavy-bottomed pot add olive oil and chorizo. Put the pot over low heat and slowly bring the heat up to medium. Fry the chorizo for a few minutes to infuse the olive oil. Using a slotted spoon remove about 1/4 cup of chorizo, for garnish, and set aside. To the remaining chorizo in the pot add the onion and garlic and fry until both are cooked, about 2 minutes. Add the beans with their liquid and stock and simmer to allow the flavors to come together about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to mash the beans into a coarse puree. Alternatively, you could let the beans cool for about 5 minutes and carefully puree in a food processor until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke dominated Boston College in a 89-68 victory Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Associated Press reported that Rasheed Sulaimon scored a season-high 27 points and fellow freshman Amile Jefferson added a personal-best 14.
Mason Plumlee also had 19 points and 15 rebounds. The Blue Devils shot nearly 54 percent — 62 percent during the first half.
"We're a team with a lot of scorers," Plumlee said, according to The Associate Press. "So when you have a team with multiple scorers, you can't just focus in on one guy."

In Greek mythology, the King of Libya and ancestor of the great Perseus. He had fifty daughters while his brother, King Aegyptus, had fifty sons. In order to keep the sons, who wanted to marry the daughters, away from them he built a ship with fifty oars and fled to Argos, Greece. When they arrived, the inhabitants beheld the marvelous ship and, believing he was sent by the gods, made Danaüs their king.
Danaüs ruled in peace for many years before another splendid ship arrived at Argos, this time holding the fifty sons. Fearing for his life, he allowed them to marry his daughters. However, he gave a dagger to each one of his offspring and instructed them to kill their husbands the night they were to be married. All of them followed these instructions except Hypermnestra, who fell in love with her husband Lynceus and quickly fled the wrath of her father.
None of the forty-nine daughters could find husbands after their murderous actions, so each one of them died lonely. When they arrived at the underworld they were sentenced to forever carry water in sieves, trying in vain to fill a bath in order to wash off their sins. Because of this, Danaüs had no heir to his throne and was forced to send for Hypermnestra and her husband Lynceus, who became king and queen of Argos.

There are unique complexities associated with the economic valuation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and telematics. Traditional methods of quantitative analysis may not be appropriate in accurately and reliably assessing the economic impacts of these technologies. Although advanced transportation and related technologies are being planned and deployed at an increasingly rapid pace, many of the technologies are still relatively new, and their use may not be widespread. Much of the initial information and statistics gathered have been anecdotal and have focused more on benefits rather than costs. Therefore, difficulties arise due to the lack of historical data and 'lessons learned' from which to draw upon. In addition, compared with traditional transportation infrastructure, ITS technologies have different life cycles, cost structures, and a number of interrelated elements. This book addresses these concerns and proposes new economic assessment techniques as well as modifications to existing ones. Included are case studies from a multitude of North American, European, and Asian nations and major metropolitan areas covering a wide range of ITS technologies including freeway management, electronic toll collection, advanced driver assistance systems, and traveller information systems.Innovations and Case Studies E Bekiaris, Y J Nakanishi ... the system expansion took place between 1988 and 1995. ... the CCTVs are controlled by State Patrol Dispatch and the VMSs are controlled by MnDOTa#39;s Maintenance Department. ... Full route coverage is provided Monday through Friday from 4:30AM to 8:15PM, and a reduced schedule of routes is covered on the weekends from 9AM to 9PM.

Gloucestershire Are Racist.
This is yet another example of how the police just can't win no matter what we do. What is wrong with turning down a white male applicant on the grounds that we have enough of them! This is clearly demonstrated in the video shown on PC Copperfield's site today: obviously that situation really called for an officer from an ethnic minority or a woman, rather than one or two more people of just any colour. If only that force had also prioritised its recruitment strategy, the officers might not have been beaten up so badly by two or three misguided young men.
Forces everywhere should simply stop recruiting white officers. This is the only way to level the playing field, and the shortfall can simply be made up by "buying" extra police hours. Hours are available in all good local communities where standard officers will work any amount of overtime to make up for resourcing shortages. Hours can also be purchased online by sending snotty emails to the officers concerned informing them that they WILL work a twelve-hour shift the next day.
Another option might be to utilise the vast resource of civilians at forces' disposal. As shown in a Freedom of Information reply I received from Bedfordshire Police, while only 30% of police officers are female, about 75% of support staff are. By simply training some of these women to be police officers and taking some men off the streets and into offices, the male/female ratio of most forces can be equalised.
Things could be so simple if we just didn't complicate them!

Sue-Lane Wood, 206.285.3500, email@example.com
Seattle, March 26, 2008—As knowledge grows about the transmission of bloodborne diseases through unsafe injection practices, safe injection technologies have become an increased priority in the global health community. Today PATH announced that it has received a $9.8 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to continue its work on disposable-cartridge, needle-free jet injectors, which use a sterile, single-dose cartridge to deliver a high-speed stream of pressurized vaccine. The project will focus on determining the benefits of using jet injectors in immunization programs in developing countries.
Disposable-cartridge jet injectors have been developed to prevent cross-contamination between patient injections. Unlike other technologies, these injectors require no change in vaccine formulation and can be filled from multidose and single-dose vials at the point of use. This technology is currently the only available needle-free technology that can be used to administer all injectable vaccines at all depths of delivery (intradermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular).
With the new grant, PATH will continue to collaborate closely with industry developers of jet injectors to determine regulatory, clinical, and commercialization pathways necessary to ensure that the technologies remain affordable and adaptable for low-infrastructure immunization settings worldwide. Potentially, the majority of immunizations could be given with this technology, and there are many possible benefits to public health programs: needle-free jet injectors eliminate the safety hazards of needlestick injury and needle reuse, and they significantly reduce the costs associated with complicated sharps waste disposal systems.
Additionally, PATH will explore the feasibility of using disposable-cartridge jet injectors to deliver reduced doses of vaccine intradermally—directly under the skin. Past and present research on intradermal delivery indicates that this method could allow a reduction in the cost of each vaccination and thus increase coverage for vaccines that are in short supply due to limited production capacity.

text: DigitalGoogle Lowers the Boom on Content FarmsBy Mike Shields|February 25, 2011ShareBy Mike Shields|February 25, 2011ShareGoogle is finally admitting its got a quality problem, and the Web giant is doing something about it. Essentially, it's dropping the hammer on content farms.In a blog post late Thursday (Feb.24), Google announced a major adjustment to its algorithm specifically designed to filter out low-quality content from its searches. The new tactic will affect 11.8 percent of its searches in the U.S.That's hardly an insignificant number, given Google's clout in the market. According to comScore, Google handled close to 12 billion search queries in January; meaning that the algorithm tweak would impact roughly 1.4 billion searches.In its blog post, Google did not specifically mention content farms—companies like Demand Media, Examiner.com and Yahoo' Associated Content—which actively look to work Google's algorithm to churn out thousands of search friendly articles. But the language used was fairly loaded, as Google seems to be coming down on the side of traditional Web publishers and quality journalism."This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other Web sites or sites that are just not very useful," wrote Google Fellow, Amit Singhal and principal engineer Matt Cutts, "At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."The implication seems clear: Companies like Demand Media—which just went public—don't always offer thoughtful analysis. Demand would certainly dispute this claim, as the company has worked hard over the past year defending its quality and touting its partnerships with Lance Armstrong, Tyra Banks and others.But examples of Demand's potential for schlock abound.Larry Fitzgibbon, Demand's evp, actually praised Google's move in a blog post response on Friday (Feb. 24). "We have built our business by focusing on creating the useful and original content that meets the specific needs of today's consumer," he wrote. "So naturally we applaud changes search engines make to improve the consumer experience—it's both the right thing to do and our focus as well…It's impossible to speculate how these or any changes made by Google impact any online business in the long term—but at this point in time, we haven't seen a material net impact on our Content & Media business." Either way, the big takeaway is that Google, after a period of caution, is recognizing that its algorithm, and its resulting search quality, are becoming increasingly cluttered with questionable content. Several industry groups, including the Internet Content Syndication Council, have publically called upon Google to reexamine this issue—an effort that appears to have born fruit."Our goal is simple: to give people the most relevant answers to their queries as quickly as possible," wrote Singhal and Cutts. "So, we're very excited about this new ranking improvement, because we believe it's a big step in the right direction of helping people find ever higher quality in our results. We've been tackling these issues for more than a year, and working on this specific change for the past few months. And we're working on many more updates that we believe will substantially improve the quality of the pages in our results." Sharehttp://adweek.it/2l5bEf1 copy Adweek Adweek

The sun has come out!
The sun has come out so I ran outside to take a photo! The idea for both quilts came from 'Spectacular Scraps' by Margaret Rolfe and Judy Hooworth. I love this book - such a simple idea to just use triangles in 2 contrasting colours but so effective. And now that I have the Easy Angle ruler - so much easier because I can cut the triangles from strips instead of having to add an extra 1/4 inch to a square. I'm really a scrappy quilt kind of person - I seem to remember reading somewhere that to the writer a quilt isn't a quilt unless it has at least 30 different fabrics in it and I'm keeping that as my mantra.
Tuesday, May 30, 2006
I wasn't looking forward to going back to work today after the holiday weekend - it's half term here in Leicester and the kids have a week off school. DD is meant to be revising for her exams but DS is going to stop with my mum until Friday. DH had taken the day off so I came home at lunchtime to see DS before he went with my mum and dad and guess what had arrived by post? Lovely yards of fabric from the USA - 6 full yards for £18.34 - including the postage. They only took a week to arrive and they are so much cheaper than comparable fabric here in the UK. I know they don't go with each other - they aren't meant for anything in particular - I just thought they would come in useful and I absolutely cannot resist anything pink or lilac (especially if there's a bit of green in there).
Sunday, May 28, 2006
These are my first fabric postcards which I made this morning, just to see if I could! As you can see, I didn't go wild and stuck to cutting round fruit and flower prints from fabric, arranging them and then just stitched them down onto the background. They're not perfect, but I feel they're OK for a first attempt. I followed DebR's excellent instructions at Red Shoe Ramblings. I didn't know if I would take to them or not, because I am not much of a detail person - think I will try doing some as Christmas cards - yes, I know it's only May but I can't bear rushing around at the end of the year.
P.S. No rabbit hutch as yet!
Friday, May 26, 2006
Looking forward to the weekend
Well, I did manage to get the crib quilt done so I'm looking forward to this weekend - feels like the first weekend in ages when I can just please myself.
Hope the weather here starts to improve - seems to have been raining for ever but hopefully we'll get out somewhere on Sunday. I also have projects for my DH to work on - we don't have any pets and DS really wanted a rabbit, so I've bought a hutch which DH still has to assemble. BUT we do have urban foxes living at the bottom of our garden so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is a good idea and that the foxes don't prove to be too cunning.

Son of seaside quilt
When I had finished cutting out the pieces for the seaside quilt, I had left over 2.5 inch strips and squares, so I cut them down until I had enough to make a crib quilt. A bit of a miniature version of the bigger one, I'm hoping to be able to quilt this one this week as a gift to a colleague who is leaving to have a baby.
I'm also making a quilted bucket bag - BUT when my son saw it laid out on the floor earlier this evening he asked if I was planning on taking it out in public - and if so, he didn't want to accompany me! So I'm going to hold back on the pics for now and hope it looks a bit better once it's finished.
Have nearly recovered from my cold (and the job interview) - too much stress!
Friday, May 19, 2006
Grumpy Me
I have a streaming cold so I haven't felt like sewing and I have a job interview first thing on Monday morning which I have to prepare for and haven't felt like doing that either.
So... the picture is of my one and only piece of hexagon patchwork (can't really call it a quilt because it certainly isn't quilted - more like a wadding sandwich but hey, I didn't know any better!) I started this in 1990 just after DD was born. My then boss at work used to send me fat brown envelopes full of work instructions that she thought I would love to be reading whilst on maternity leave - I threw them away but I kept the brown envelopes because they were nice and thick and ideal for the paper hexagon shapes. I didn't finish the top until 1996 when DS was born. I suspect I will never make another one because I don't like hand sewing that much.

Busy Weekend
Haven't had much time for sewing this weekend - my brother got married on Saturday so it was busy! I have been wanting to do something in pastels - maybe with a 1930's feel - I thought Dresden Plate so tried out this colour combination. I don't have any reproduction fabrics but am hoping that by using similar colours I will still get the look. Think maybe these colours are a bit too bright but I'll carry on experimenting until I get there. I have just placed the circle in the centre to see what it looks like.

Seaside Quilt
I promised my DS that I would make him a quilt as I had just finished a crochet afghan for my DD and it was 'his' turn. This is what I am making - DS was very particular about the fabrics I used - definitely no flowers or girlie stuff. So I decided to make something with a seasidy feel in red, white and blue (with big squares so it gets finished quickly). I will quilt it myself on my ordinary sewing machine so it will be straight and simple!
Sunday, May 07, 2006
First Post
Although I have been a keen sewer for all of my adult life, my interest in patchwork and quilting has waxed and waned through the years. For many years I have to admit I was frightened of buying a rotary cutter in case I cut myself instead of the fabric. Now of course I'm thinking WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE YEARS AGO! Still, it might have been a bit difficult when the kids were little.
So, once I have worked out how to upload photos, I will share my creations, such as they are.

Carphone Warehouse is recalling its own-brand "webbook" from all its stores, in order to change the netbook's operating system, industry sources are reporting.
It seems customers are finding the unfamiliar Linux operating system, that the cheap Elonex-made webbook is offered with, "confusing".
With as high as 20% returns in some areas, its said all the company's current Linux-based stock will get the more expensive Windows XP operating system.
One source close to the matter told Mobile Today there were no problems with the device, but that it was "simply an issue of consumer understanding".
UPDATE: Carphone Warehouse has contacted Pocket-lint to say that the webbook has not been recalled as the article states, a spokesperson said: "The webbook will be continued on Windows XP only, due to the commercial direction implemented by The Carphone Warehouse, but the Linux versions sold to date have not been recalled."

Of all the countries in the world, there can be few that have placed the car at the heart of their cultures quite like the USA. A nation of interstates and drive-throughs, America's infatuation with the car has resulted in some of the world's most memorable models.
Though they might be derided as crude and uncouth by some, these muscle cars' honesty and simplicity has also won them many fans. They might not by be finely-honed driving tools, but provide easy thrills from a combination of noise and straight-line performance.
And with most American muscle car models now world-famous, it's a fair bet you'll have heard many of their names before.
Question is, just how well do you know the cars themselves? Well, it's time to thumb the starter, hit the gas and put yourself to the test – but remember, you'll need to cross the line with 80 per cent or more to pass.

The food scandal involving a Chinese supplier selling expired chicken and beef should alert consumers worldwide to meat from anywhere being part of the global marketplace everywhere.
The latest allegations are against Shanghai Husi Food Co., owned by OSI Group of Aurora, Ill. The China Food and Drug Administration has ordered an investigation into all of the company's food factories in five Chinese provinces, the official New China News Agency reports.
McDonald's Corp., and Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC and Pizza Hut, said they no longer are using meat from the supplier and have started their own investigations. Burger King and Starbucks said their Chinese stores have stopped using meat from the supplier, too, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Those restaurants are found in many countries throughout the world, and they are favorites for tourists.
U.S. consumers can thank the Department of Agriculture for requiring country of origin labeling for grocery stores, supermarkets and club warehouse stores. Eating out can be a more questionable matter.

An Exquisite Fragment of Narumi Kongata: Many Motifs
ca. late nineteenth century
20" x 13 1/4", 51 cm x 33.5 cm
This fragment is an exceptional example of Narumi kongata, a kind of multi-stenciled resist dye that is meant to mimic shibori and is often very complex in image and technique.
The cotton piece shown here is fantastic in its execution and its imagery. First, it is the same on both sides, just as clear and bright on the back as it is on the front: fine whites, rich indigo blues.
Its images are wonderful to consider: the background is a lattice pattern that is interrupted by mist. In the mist and on the lattice we see small rain dragons. Arranged in free symmetry are decorative gourds and leaf forms which are are packed with design motives some showing a tortoise shell motif, and others very densely and expertly rendered in faux shibori.
A wonderful example of Narumi kongata.

I feel like all week long things are happening left and right, and then the moment I sit down to email, I come up blank. "Nothing happened this week!" My mind protests as I dig through the filing cabinets of memories. I have to say, this week, I agree with it.
There were some shake-ups in the zone this past week. The bottom half of our stake had the ward boundaries change fairly drastically yesterday, and it caused one of our areas to be absorbed completely into the other zone. This means our zone is now only composed of 7 areas. Isn't that ridiculous? One of the transfers I was in Fort Madison, the district alone had 6 areas! The mission is slowly stabilizing and shrinking. It is really sad to see a lot of the missionaries go, but it's the way of life out here.
Also, Bill came to church this week! It's been a long time coming, but he's committed to his date of April 25th. He is a great guy, but he'll need to overcome smoking if he's going to be baptized.
Hm... What else to report... I lost 4 pounds! Elder Swainston is a huge perfectionist, so he's making me diet with him. We run every morning and drink smoothies with spinach in them. It's weird. No comment. But hey, I'm getting good habits. I'm going to be buff as buff can be when you see me again!
We also went on exchanges in Dubuque with the Marshallese speaking elders this week. It was super fun, and I ate a bajillion different weird foods. I had tuna jerky! It's just like beef jerky, except made out of tuna. What did it taste like, you may ask? Do you know that smell when you are walking along the beach with a slight breeze coming off the water? Smells like salt and freshness, right? Suddenly, you catch a whiff of dead fish. Mix those two smells together, and you've got yourself some fish jerky!
Oh! By the way, make sure that you get some of those "BecauseHeLives" cards and start handing them out. I wanted us to be united in doing this. It's such a powerful tool! One of the best ways to motivate yourself to do it is to set a goal for yourself, such as, "every week, I'm going to hand out at least one." Then, report to Heavenly Father on your goal at the end of each week. Use this tool to share the gospel!
I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. He is the Son of God. I know this is His church on the earth today.
Love you!
Elder Brown

A railroad yard is an area densely populated with railroad tracks most commonly used for freight purposes. The idea behind railroad yards is to have an area where trains can store their freight cars and switch lines.Continue Reading
Some of the larger railroad yards can harbor hundreds or even thousands of train cars. In the past, there were railroad yards about 100 miles apart, as it was necessary for steam-powered trains to refuel that often. However, the larger, more efficient rail yards have taken precedent in recent years, so there has been a sharp decrease in the use of small rail yards.Learn more about Geography

The Punisher #12
- Story by

- Colors by
- Matt Hollingsworth
- Letters by
- Joe Caramagna
- Cover by
- Marco Checchetto
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
"The Punisher" #12 is the first book I would hand to anyone who asked me why I like Greg Rucka's writing so much. While this is a very solid twelve issues into Rucka's work on the series, this comic is a shining example of a great shared universe adventure and everyone in the Punisher's sphere of influence gets some panel time.
The issue opens with NYPD Detectives Walter Bolt and Ozzy Clemons staking out the apartment of Rachel Cole-Alves. On the run from the cops and the Punisher, Cole-Alves reaches out to Norah Winters who happens to be shacking up with Phil Urich. Within the first seven pages of the story, we don't see the Punisher, but his influence is felt and the characters mentioned above clearly illustrate that this title is strongly grounded in the main Marvel Universe.
When Rucka does finally bring Punisher into the story, he gives Frank Castle more dialogue than he has had throughout the entire previous eleven issues combined. That may be a slight exaggeration, but Castle is a man of few words and the ones he uses in this issue have that much stronger an impact. It's classic Greg Rucka storytelling. Most writers do a good enough job to give each of their charges distinct voices, but Rucka gives each of the characters a distinct personality, psychological profile and motivation in everything he writes — especially so in this issue. These are characters cut from whole cloth and transcribed into a story.
That fullness of character certainly makes life easier for Marco Checchetto. The regular series artist returns with this issue and the book has never looked better. Like Rafael Albuquerque on "American Vampire," you don't really realize just how much Checchetto brings to "The Punisher" until he returns from an absence. In addition to the characters mentioned above, Checchetto proves to be up to the challenges Rucka writes for him: a tense seven-page, dreary rain-drenched fight between Cole-Alves and Castle, Cole-Alves wrestling with an emotional decision and Castle exuding the Marine Corps equivalent of tough love. Colorist Matt Hollingsworth makes this book sparkle, as clearly evidenced by the rainy fight scene. Rain can ruin movie scenes and comics panels, but here it visually expresses the conflicted emotions Cole-Alves feels as she struggles against the man who could be her mentor. Plain and simple, this book is as beautifully drawn as it is masterfully written.
Everything you need from "The Punisher" is right here, absolutely everything. This is what a zero issue, a Point One, a new starting spot for a great book should be. You should be reading this book if you've ever — ever — had any interest in the Punisher or his place in the greater Marvel Universe. Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto have found a groove and they're doing a damn good job sharing it right here.

If you own a 3G smartphone, but live in a country with no 3G service (yet), well it's like owning a Ferrari in Singapore - there's nowhere to try out your toy at full speed.
So on landing at Incheon - the airport serving Seoul - it was great watching my HTC Diamond's never before use 'H' (for HSPA) icon appear, which morphed into the inverse-color '3G' symbol after warning me about roaming charges.
So now the Opera browser loads pages almost imperceptibly faster. Oh - and I can't send an sms. Doh! I'll try the video-calling as soon as I line up a suitably-equipped victim, and play with my sms settings. The photo is of the spaceship-like terminal building (snapped as I walked to the parking lot).

Wealth Plus – A Futuristic ULIP Plan
Dear Readers,
The world is a competitive place to live in. Our life is not sustained by survival of the fittest, but our capacity to fight the competition and come out as a winner. Everyone wants to succeed and progress, but when we actually step in, we are only struggling to survive. Only a few make it as they are more focussed and innovative.
This applies to all, not only us, but for everyone. You have to be focused, but also take risks. You have to think out of the box to make it larger. There will be many hurdles, obstacles in your path, but you have to walk. When I say focussed it means to work on your goals – as an individual, your career, happy family, financial security, and as a company your budgets, meeting targets, financial position, expansion, profits. Also, when you are working towards your goal, you need to make certain investments, so that you and your family are secured.
Innovation will give you the boost to go further more. You cannot just do one thing all the time for it will bore you, and in a tough competition you will not sustain. Innovation will give an edge over others.
When I talk about innovation, there is one company who has changed the ULIP sector.
Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance launched 'Wealth Plus' Plan, a first of its kind Unit-Linked insurance plan, on 4th November. An industry-first, it offers extra allocations contributed by the insurer to the customer's plan.
Edelweiss Tokio Life – Wealth Plus
It is a futuristic plan which caters to the new generation tech-savvy people who are on the go, and who demand differentiated, competitive and innovative product.
Edelweiss Tokio Life analyzed the need of today's generation protection and growth, and thus co-evolved Wealth Plus along with PolicyBazaar (India's largest insurance market place).
How is it different?
Edelweiss Tokio Life has not only done away with premium allocation and policy administration charges but furthermore contributes additional units on every premium paid by us thereby increasing our fund value. Additional allocation starts at 1% for the first five years and then increases every five years to 3%, 5%, and 7% thereby increasing our wealth.
• Under this plan, fund value is distributed between the below 2 funds:
1) Equity Large Cap Fund
2) Bond Fund
• This strategy provides the flexibility to:
1) Switch the invested amount amongst the available funds using the switching option.
2) Redirect the future premiums to the newly chosen fund using the redirection option.
This product gives you tax benefits which results in extra savings.
If there is a default in the payment of premium, there will be no penalties or charges levied against the beneficiary. And the accumulated amount can be redeemed after a period of five years.
Additional Option:
Rising Star Benefit- For a parent like me, securing my children's future is always on my mind when considering any investment plan. In Rising Star Benefit, the lump sum amount will be immediately paid to the family in the event of demise of the policy holder. All future premiums (if any) will immediately get invested into the fund allowing the corpus to grow faster thereby ensuring my child's future is protected.
How is it Innovative?
Edelweiss Tokio Life takes care of one's financial goals at various life stages, be it taking care of family's future wealth, saving for retirement, family protection, or any other important milestone. It is the winner of the "Best Product Innovation" title by Fintelekt Insurance Awards 2017 and National Award for excellence in Insurance 2017.
There are loads of options available in the sea full of ULIPS. One gets confused which policy to choose from and thus turn to financial advisor for recommendations. People are way too apprehensive about the family's future, thus start to make savings in every possible way so that the future is secure. Hence, when I came across this plan, I was rested assured about my investment and future.
For more information, please visit Edelweiss Tokio.
Note: Please read the offer document before investing.

While I'm waiting for my new printer to be delivered, I needed to scan something. (Okay, if you must know, it was a baseball card, for the piece about how they make sports cards) Because they make multifunction printer-scanner-fax-copier-coffee makers so that when one function fails, they all do, I couldn't use the now-expired Three Year Wonder. But, true to my status as Chris' Emergency Backup Nerdist, I just happen to have an Emergency Backup Scanner on hand, an old USB flatbed that would do the job… that is, if there was a currently usable driver for it.
Which there isn't.
Granted, it's a few years old, but it's perfectly functional. And it once had readily available drivers for Windows AND Mac. No problem, right? Just pop onto the Net, check the usual driver sites, done. Except that this model doesn't seem to have any Mac drivers left on the Net, and even the PC drivers for any flavor of Windows seem to have disappeared. My Mac doesn't recognize it, my PC doesn't, either, I have no idea whether the install disc is even in this time zone, and, well, that's all she wrote. The scanner's useless. That's okay; these things don't last forever, and you can't expect them to do so.
So why can't I bear to throw them away?
I have several printers, as I've mentioned before, that don't work. I have several satellite TV receivers for a service to which I haven't subscribed for several years and which would have to be replaced with HD versions if I ever went back, which is unlikely. Analog cell phones? Sure, got 'em laying around someplace. Got a bunch of X-10 modules in a box in the garage, maybe behind the dead monitors and the mostly cannibalized PC boxes. My trusty old MiniDisc recorder, with which I recorded many an interview, is sitting here in a cubby hole above my desk, silent, functional but abandoned. And, yes, there's still a Zip drive somewhere in this mess, probably near the USB modem that had a tendency to freeze entire computers and the no-longer-functional drawing tablet collection. Please don't tell the producers of those "hoarder" reality TV shows about me.
Some people have no problem instantly selling off their old gadgets on eBay. I know this, because every time I think about getting a new cell phone and fret about the cost of upgrading before the two-year discount kicks in, people say the same thing to me: "Oh, that's not a problem, just sell the old one." But that's not in my nature. Besides, who wants a decrepit HTC Touch Pro running Windows Mobile 6.1 with the back coating mostly melted off? What am I gonna get for THAT?
And that's how my house is overflowing with tech junk. It's a good thing my wife is exceptionally tolerant of my clutter, although "do we need to keep THAT?" is a regular refrain and a sharp eye is kept for the date of the annual Hazardous Waste and Electronic Trash collection day at City Hall. (We missed it last year)
I can't be alone in this. What does your pile of discarded tech items look like? If you get something nice and electronic for Christmas, what are you going to do with the old stuff?
I think there might still be room in the garage. You might want to check.

Hi there,
I've been struggling with taking photos, and after toying with buying a new camera, lights and a light box, or building my own after watchin' numerous you tube videos, this is what I came up with. (ps this is also a flickr link test, so bear with me)
I stumbled on a large clear plastic storage container, and combined with 3 sheets of A2 tracing paper (top and sides) and white backing card I was in action.
So armed with my smart phone camera and my existing desk lamp this is the sort of result I got which I'm more than happy with.
All up $29 NZD.
Hope this helps someone else.

Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron Review
Sometimes a video game can surprise you. You may expect that a particular game might just be a generic licensed third-person shooter, with references only for the familiar and some slightly wonky and underdeveloped combat and technical specs. However, upon playing this game, you may discover that Transform- I mean, this game, is actually really good, has the fixings of a AAA title, has well-developed gameplay, and has a campaign that you actually want to see through to the end.
I'll spoil the surprise now. I am reviewing that game.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a sequel to Transformers: War for Cybertron, a game I never played from a franchise I never paid attention to from a developer (High Moon Studios) that I have no familiarity with. Despite this, the setting is basic enough that even someone like me could follow (and enjoy) it. The game takes place right after the first, in which a civil war between the Autobots (the good guys) and the Decepticons (the bad guys) over control of their world, Cybertron. Meanwhile, the Autobots are trying to escape through a portal to what must be a better place than their home world, and the Decepticons want to stop it. With my lack of series familiarity, some of the subplots were quickly lost on me, but that doesn't mean that the plot is obtuse or convoluted by any means, it just means that the story you're being given is built from the ground up for Transformers fans.
The best way to explain the gameplay would be to say that it plays a bit like Mass Effect with bulkier characters. Fall Of Cybertron is a cover-based third-person shooter that controls fairly traditionally (for what it is). There are standard assault rifles and heavy weapons and such, and there are special ammo powers, but what makes the combat sing are the transformations you can make as the robots.
During combat, the L3 button can be pressed to transform a characters' robot form into its vehicle form, which is faster, more compact, usually faster weaponry, and easier to maneuver. They're typically less powerful and easier to fire shots at, but the ability to change combat style on the fly is much appreciated and makes the game a more exciting affair. There are exceptions to this rule, like when you play as Grimlock later in the campaign. He can't transform into a vehicle (nor can he do much more than shield and melee), but he can turn into a nearly invincible robot T-Rex to destroy everything in his path.
Perhaps most impressive is how smoothly everything controls. For so many playable characters and transformations, I'm surprised that everything feels like it got a thick coat of polish before it was released. The shooting feels on par with the top standards of this generation, and the vehicle controls are good enough to be in a racing game if they were tightened up a bit more.
The campaign is thirteen chapters long and takes you through the entire fall of Cybertron and the efforts to escape. The game takes you through several playable characters on both sides of the conflict, from stealth-based sections through giant robot devastation. While the campaign is short (around seven hours or so), I was never left wanting any more or less of the game.
Unfortunately, with such a short length and so many playable characters, the pacing feels really broken. The early missions are incredibly standard TPS affairs (minus transformation), and the game really only becomes anything special in the last few. Considering there is only one boss fight in the game (and its only sort-of one), it was tough to be excited about doing anything when the setpieces look like they came out of Mass Effect, the shooting and maneuvering feels like Mass Effect, the weapon customization feels like Mass Effect, and it's always never as good. That's not to say it isn't good, but the game truly only gains a personality of its own in the second half, which is kind of problematic when you realize that only three hours of the story are devoted to these much more diverse, much more exciting missions.
Thankfully or not, the main draw of Fall of Cybertron lies in its multiplayer modes. From the hour of it I played, it was easy to see the appeal. In a nutshell, the multiplayer is a direct translation of the single-player gameplay. Playing in one of four classes, the game has everything you would expect in an Activision-published game. You can customize your robots (which has pretty robust options), as well as your weapon loadouts (with further options gained upon leveling up and gaining experience points), and you can enter your standard Deathmatch and Capture the Flag variants. In addition to this, there is also a co-op Escalation mode, that pits two players against a hoard of enemies until they die. It's a hoard mode and nothing more.
One more thing Fall of Cybertron does right is having visuals that really stand far and above most other games based on a licensed property. The visuals look stunning, especially when seeing large amounts of Autobots and Decepticons fighting each other or a towering Metroplex joining the fight. The soundtrack does the job, but it's the same orchestrated stuff you would see in other games about war.
There's a lot to love in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The story holds up, the fanservice is clearly present and the gameplay and presentation are top-tier, with no doubting in that claim. However, the short campaign length, inconsistent pacing and quality, and ordinary multiplayer may cause some to wish they had held off. Either way, I'm seriously impressed, and I have confidence that High Moon Studios might just achieve greatness in the not-so-distant future.
Score: 7.5 out of 10

Energy Poverty is a global issue that I'm particular interested in.
Ever since I learned the term from the team at ONE, it has been on my mind and something that I'd like to help fight and solve.
The first part of solving any issue is to educate yourself as much as possible on it. Part of that for me has been finding, discovering and buying products that will help solve this issue and today I received the latest product I've purchased from luminAID.
This simple bit of innovation works great. A water-proof and tear-proof inflatable bag contains a solar charger, battery and LED light all in one. Expose it to sunlight and you will always have a light source when night comes.
As soon as mine arrived, I fired up the video camera to capture and share the product with the world.
I don't know why everyone wouldn't purchase one of these to keep in their house for power outtages. I know that I'll clip it to the outside of my backpack on any backpacking trips I go on as a renewable light source when we set up camp. Imagine what this device would do for a family who currently has to light their home with a dangerous kerosene lamp since that is there only option?
If you do decide to purchase one after reading this, I urge to please consider their Give Light, Get Light program where for a few dollars more they donate a luminAID to a family in need somewhere in the world in addition to shipping one to you.
These are exactly the type of products I hope to work with through The Cleon Foundation and why I formed it.
You can expect more reviews and exposure for other products like this that I discover and purchase. I know I have several on the way.

There are many aspects OF who I am and what I do. Putting together THIS PAGE is one of my least favorite things to write because talking about myself is not my idea of a fun time.
When asked what I do my current answer is, "I create, teach and motivate people to do more good in the world."
Of course, that doesn't cover all that I work on professionally and personally, so that is why I created this page.
Official bios and headshots can be found below.
Who is C.C. Chapman? I'm a…
I'm constantly writing and always working on my next book. You may have read some of my published works including Amazing Things Will Happen, Content Rules or 101 Steps to Making Video Like a Pro.
Freelance writing or citizen reporting assignments excite me.
If I had to choose a style, I'd say my photos are a mix of documentary, travel and lifestyle photography. While I may not enjoy taking head shots, I love to shoot faces. I rarely go anywhere without a camera in my hand and I've been fortunate to see my photos on the pages of Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal.
I'm currently shooting with a Canon 80D, an iPhone 7+ and a Chroma 4k Drone.
My photos can be found on Instagram and Flickr.
With over twenty years of marketing, online media and community building experience I have the skills and experience to help your organization no matter the size. Previous clients have included The Coca-Cola Company, American Eagle Outfitters, and HBO.
I focus on social good/impact marketing, content marketing, and brand strategy. My favorite clients are NGOs, nonprofits or brands looking to make a difference in the world.
Feel free to double check my credentials on LinkedIn.
I'm happiest when on stage educating and inspiring an audience of any size, anywhere in the world.
I have spoken at everything from large international events, corporate retreats and at special gatherings of unique individuals. If you need someone who will inspire, educate and entertain your audience I'd love to chat.
I believe in using my skills, time and voice to champion causes that are important to me. I'm especially interested in anything military, dogs or children focused.
I'm currently the President of the Board at Wediko, a member of the ONE Girls & Women Advisory Board, serve on the board of The Hockey Foundation and recently joined the No Kid Hungry Social Council.
Helping others learn and inspiring them to achieve their goals is the most fulfilling thing I do. As a Visting Instructor of Business and Management at Wheaton College and as an Adjunct Professor of Marketing and Communications at Bentley University I get to do this with the next generation. I've also developed and taught courses for LinkedIn Learning, Lynda.com, CreativeLive, and Treehouse.
On top of all that I'm a proud life long New Englander who was born and raised in New Hampshire, but now resides outside of Boston.
I married my high school sweetheart, have two amazing kids and love being a dad.
I've been online since 1989, began blogging in 2002 and podcasting in 2004.
Previous endeavors I created include Accident Hash, Passion Hit TV, Digital Dads and The Advance Guard.
Tattoos, travel and the outdoors turn me on. There are fewer things more perfect than a well-done cocktail, a delicious meal or live art of any sort. I love my GORUCK, Field Notes and am a proud Misfit.
To understand me is to understand that I try to live a purposeful life every day that is full of adventure, love and making the world around me a better place for all.
C.C. Chapman describes himself as a New England raised storyteller, explorer, and humanitarian. Others have described him as a thought leader in the online marketing space, a grounded futurist and one the nicest guy on the Internet. Over the years of his career, he has worked with a variety of clients including Nike, HBO, American Eagle Outfitters, ONE, Verizon FiOS and The Coca-Cola Company.
He is the co-author of the International bestseller Content Rules and is also the author of Amazing Things Will Happen. He travels the world speaking in front of audiences to do more in the world and how to understand content marketing better. C.C. has taught classes for Lynda.com, CreativeLive and now as an adjunct professor at Bentley University (where he also graduated from).
C.C. is an advocate who speaks about building passionate communities and the strategic values of content-based marketing. He is a Samsung Imagelogger, the original ONE Dad and a UN Foundation Social Good Fellow. As a storyteller for hire, his work has appeared on the pages of Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal.
C.C. is the past Chairman of the Board at Wediko and currently serves on the board of The Hockey Foundation. He happily lives in the woods outside of Boston with his loving family. Find out more at CC-Chapman.com
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more multi-faceted or enthusiastic creative/strategic partner in the marketing and content creation fields. This greatly hails from C.C.'s unstoppable combination of marketing experience and savvy (which a great many professionals claim to have), and incalculably valuable "on the ground" knowledge and insight as an influential content creator himself (which a great many professionals do not). The result is a best-of-both-worlds mashup of marketing expertise.
C.C. Chapman sports the pro cred to be a talker (working closely with such clients as American Eagle Outfitters, Coca-Cola, HBO and Warner Bros.), and the passion and gumption to be a doer (creating content for the emerging Online Dad market, marketing professionals, music fans and more). He's helped create, manage and execute ambitious online and offline marketing campaigns for startups and multinationals — and has the invaluable good sense to know which outreach strategies work with audiences, and which ones fall flat.
He authoritatively speaks your language. He speaks your CMO's language. Most important, he's fluent in your market's language. It's a killer double-chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination. Contact C.C. to learn how he can help your organization achieve its business goals. There's, even more, to know about C.C. Chapman if you want to read it — and you should. C.C.'s skills are an embarrassment of riches.
I'm involved with a lot of organizations and clients. I believe in being completely transparent and open about everything I'm working on. I'll do my best to keep this updated and of course, will clearly disclose relationships in any post that require them.
I am open to being pitched and invited on press trips.
Companies do send me items in the hopes that I will review it or share with my community. If you send me something it does not guarantee a review.
