How a New, Powerful, Robust Series Of Autoresponder Reports Are Converting Visitors Into Paying Customers Like Mad...
If you´re fed up with trying to make money online, this might be the most important article you read all year...
by Lou Larsen
Remember when you first started your website? Didn´t you anticipate and hope for a large amount of visitors and profits? You were probably incredibly enthusiastic and excited. But over time you soon realized the truth: selling online is tough. Getting qualified traffic is tough. The competition can be brutal.
And that´s not the only problem, an even bigger one is most of your visitors only see your site once. Never to return. And you just know that's money disappearing into the ether. Turning to smoke.
Now, you probably also know that follow up autoresponders are a fantastic way of turning many more visitors into paying customers. Super-successful online businesses have known this for years. It´s no secret.
The hitch, of course, is that many business owners don't know how to write these compelling autoresponders...don't have time to write them...or just don't like to write them.
So, many business owners try a short cut. They use fill-in-the-blank autoresponder templates.
Problem is, they don´t work.
I've signed up for various autoresponder reports only to get that "Internet marketer" style of writing ("BLAST YOUR PROFITS BY 6574%!!!!") from several different businesses. They were using templates. Amateur nonsense. Use those "instant sales" templates and you'll get so many unsubscribes, your head will spin.
Other autoresponder reports or ¨courses¨ I´ve received have been nothing more than thinly disguised sales pitches. I´m sure you´ve received these too.
Out of All That Garbage, What Kind of Autoresponders Work?
You´ll always sell more by using autoresponders that customers WANT to receive. What you want are autoresponders that customers actually wait enthusiastically to get delivered to their inbox. They crave their arrival. They will actually complain to you if these reports are late.
To reach that level of desire, you need to create and send autoresponders that are interesting, useful, and educational. They help your customers and prospects.
The best thing about these autoresponders is that they also create an irresistible urge to buy from you. Why? It´s the Law of Reciprocity. People feel they owe someone after they have been given something of value. That value comes from your autoresponders.
And when you have thousands of people on your list because of these special autoresponders, and a large percentage of them buy...well, you can do the math.
Unfortunately, many people just don't know how to create these types of autoresponders. And they are losing a ton of money because of it.
"Eight out of ten people buy major purchases after the 5th contact."
-- Sales and Marketing Executives International
A New Service is Available To You For Making Easier Money Online...
I'm offering a service to businesses that need these compelling autoresponder reports. The type of industry doesn't matter. These reports lure visitors. These reports sell. Customers and prospects are eager to receive them. Unsubscribes are rare.
They are many different ways to create these reports. Here is one sequence many of my clients and I often use:
Welcome Message (your visitors get this when they first sign up. It paints wonderful pictures in their minds about all the great stuff they are going to get...FOR FREE! It also reminds them why and how they signed up, many people forget.)
First Message. Contains useful and unique information that they can use immediately. This paints you and your company as experts who know what they are doing and give valuable information for free.
Second Message. Contains useful info. It's a bit more vague and complicated. This will put in their minds that they probably need you.
Third Message. Lots of benefits of doing business with you.
Other Messages. Here are additional benefits, more helpful information, links to other articles, etc.
Second to Last Message. "What would you do in this situation?" Here we ask your prospects how they would handle difficult situations, situations your company can typically solve.
Final Message. This one becomes more of a hard sell. We tell them the consequences of not using your products or services. Or the consequences of using another company.
All of these messages use psychological triggers and motivators such as NLP Language Patterns for Advertising and persuasion techniques.
Once you use these autoresponders I've created for you on your website, you will be able to:
● Convert more visitors into paying customers. Take the common sales advice, "it takes several reminders before someone new buys from you," and turn it into a powerful force for your business. Can you even imagine a fraction of your visitors giving you money instead of just disappearing?
● Create more Long Term Value Customers. Customers that buy from you again and again are the best. No doubt about it. Useful autoresponders are probably something your competitors aren't doing.
● Upsell and cross-sell with greater ease. Once your customers are comfortable with you and your business, you'll be able to sell them more offers and higher priced ones, too.
● Develop a massive fan base... You'll be seen as an expert in your field (if you're not already). I usually include a "Pass This Email On To A Friend" in these autoresponders. You wouldn't believe how many more people have become new customers just by adding similar phrasing.
● Establish joint ventures. After your list of customers has grown because of these autoresponders I create for you, other businesses will start approaching you to market their non-competitive products and services for a percentage of the profits. And they will offer to market yours.
● Market other products. What happens if you only have one or two products, but you want to make more money? No problem. There are hundreds of related affiliate programs you can join to sell other businesses' products and make a commission on them.
As you consider those benefits of my autoresponder service, you might like to think of how they would best be used in your business situation.
Let's get this next part out of the way so we can get started as soon as possible...
All you have to do is give me some information. You sit back and relax. Then in a short period of time, I´ll send your powerful autoresponder reports via email.
How Much Does This Compelling Autoresponder Service Cost?Your investment in this service is only $50 per day. For example, if you wanted only three autoresponders it would cost you $150. If you want seven autoresponders (usually considered the most effective amount), it would cost $350.
Your return on investment can be phenomenal. Some businesses have made thousands of dollars in just a few days with powerful autoresponders and outstanding offers.
Once you use my autoresponder writing service, you will also get, absolutely free, these bonuses:
1. FREE Sign Up Copy. Many people just put "Sign Up For Our Newsletter". That doesn´t work very well. These forms need to be full of benefits and persuasion.
2. FREE Welcome Message. This message reminds your visitors that they signed up to receive these autoresponders and to delight them into all the goodies they will be getting in the weeks to come.
3. FREE NLP Language Patterns for Advertising Workbook. NLP language patterns have been proved to be extremely powerful in motivating people to buy. With this free workbook, you can create all sorts of powerfully compelling ads: classified ads, eBay listings, Craigslist posts, the places you can use these patterns is infinite.
I only accept professionals who are serious about turning their businesses around, getting and keeping more customers and clients online. If you´re sick of the results you´ve been getting online, but feel you can do a lot better, contact me as soon as possible so we can make you a lot more money.
It´s good to know that you have someone out there to help you create powerful autoresponders, isn´t it? Why not contact me now, while you´re still on this page? I´m looking forward to working together.
Send me an email here: email@example.com or use this form so we can get started right away.

Today's black and white photo is from one of our cycle rides towards Tower Bridge on the Thames Path. At one point in Rotherhithe the path leads you into the car park of the Hilton Docklands Riverside. We cycle through the car park and around the dock and out into Rotherhithe Street before picking up the Thames Path again a little further along.
The hotel is right on the river and has great views over to Canary Wharf and it's not where you expect to spot any wildlife. So when we saw this fella on his pontoon, it took us a while to work out if he was real or not.
After staring at him for a while - yes I know, how rude - he moved his head. So yes, he's real and quite a beauty who looks proud of where he lives!
And it'd be great if this was Heron Quay, but sadly it wasn't.

Hello. Monday. Remixes.
With his affinity for electronic music, sweeping piano flourishes and sculpted atmospheric sound, 18 year old ShadowLuxx proves once again he's talented and wise beyond his years with his latest remix of Sir Sly's "You Haunt Me."
Sydney house duo Set Mo hits the spot with a remix of the Ou Est Le Swimming Pool classic "Dance The Way I Feel," which sees them infusing the 2009 hit with their infectious modern-day, deep house grooves.
After the release of their highly successful debut album, 'Down to Earth', the ever elusive duo Flight Facilities have announced the release of a new remix of single "Two Bodies," this time courtesy of techno legend Robag Wruhme.
Wrap yourself in this remix of "Go" by Grimes chock-full of infectious melodies and restless creativity. Muneshine & Khamsin have a truly chameleonic sound with fluorescent style, subtly peppered with sub-beats and glitches that not so quietly lurk beneath the surface.

I have a blackberry. Every time I send or receive an email - it comes to my blackberry. Sometimes, its nice and other times, not so nice. This afternoon - around 5pm my phone lit up with 80 emails. All 80 of these emails were a copy of a sent email being sent from my email account. Not only was someone/something sending emails to EVERY person I have EVER emailed...they were sorely inappropriate emails. Things regarding erectile dysfunction, sex positions, and all kinds of embarrassing things. GRREEEEEEAT.
If you know me - then you know that this is absolutely NOT anything that I would ever do. Therefore, I am completely embarrassed by the fact that my family and friends got these crazy and offensive emails from me. So...if you received one of those emails....please delete it and don't click on any of the links.
Fortunately, I was aware of what was happening almost immediately because my phone notified me - however, if I didn't have this I probably never would have known. So, I guess the annoying flashing red light on the blackberry was a good thing today at 5pm. I also quickly learned that a friend had the same exact thing happen to her around the same time today. So...if you have a gmail account you might want to check the sent box just to make sure you weren't a victim too.
Until next time - I'll be changing every.single.password to everything.

Seers of War was founded by like-minded friends in November 2013 with the goal of creating a small but solid scene where friends could enjoy themselves, by participating in the activities the game offers or simply spend time together. One of the activities that players enjoyed most at the time was raiding, that's how some of them got to know each other and developed bonds. We then aimed to create a team of raiders to engage the content in a relaxed manner but willing to challenge themselves and go as further as possible.
Over the years the guild grew in size and success. As consequence, we expanded our activities: even though the main purpose of the guild is to raid with a serious mindset, that is not where our activities end. Through the lifetime of our guild we have been able to offer our members a variety of events, such as weekly raiding for our social members and friends, meta achievement runs to get those shiny mounts or cosmetics, casual PvP events (RBGs, arena) and now Mythic+ dungeons groups that aim for decent times.
While our guild is sort of a reserved space made by a tight-knit group of players, we welcome any of our current members friends/family and we often open exceptions for players that have a good attitude and wish to be part of this adventure.
The guild has survived the test of time and friendships endured as a result of relationships based on respect and camaraderie. In order to keep things running amicable and maintain the good atmosphere we have, we abide by a general set of simple rules:
It is important for us people feel welcomed and pleased in this community. If you're a new member do not feel intimidated by the bonds that have been strengthened beforehand. Instead, take the initiative to be a part of something we all share!

What is The Adventurers?
The Adventurers (the-adventurers.com) is a twice-weekly webcomic that chronicles the true-life adventures of me, a cartoonist, and my daughter, a charming toddler. It's all true, and it's all adorable.
When my oldest daughter was two, I began making drawings of her every day. In order to fit the strips in between my regular work, I made the rule that they had to be in pen, with no sketching beforehand, with only one colour (blue). She was growing up so fast and becoming such a fascinating person that I felt I needed to document it. As soon as she could speak, I realized that it would be a lot funnier to make comics about her.
And I was right.
For the last three years, I've been running The Adventurers as a twice-weekly all-ages webcomic. I've amassed over two hundred strips, and I think it's high time to put the first and best of them into a physical book. Let's do it!
And let's make it as nice as we can.
The Adventurers, Volume 1: Love You Very So Much will be a ninety-six page hardcover spanning two years of our adventures. She'll learn about Frankenstein, dancing, and snowballs. She'll have adventures at daycare, the library, and with her friends. And I, her lucky father, will be right there with her.
For the first time, I'm going to write and draw the harrowing story of my kid's heart surgery at eight months old. The horrible days leading up to the surgery, the endless night while we waited to hear, and her two-week recovery. I haven't had the courage to sit down and write about the hardest event in my life, but I believe now is the time, at last.
Now, let's talk stretch goals.
My initial goal is to make 500 copies of The Adventurers, Volume 1. However, I would like to print more copies, and I would like to make those copies better.
The first stretch goal is to gussy up the book itself. Let's add some lovely fabric to the cover, and print the spine with beautiful silver letters. Once we reach this point, I will also include with every physical package a brand-new sticker made by our friends at Sticker Mule!
The second stretch goal is to print 750 copies instead of 500! This will ensure my stock for a year and allow the book to reach more fans that ever before!
The next goal is to print 1000 copies. Since this is the trickiest hurdle to make it over, I will include a SECOND sticker from our friends at Sticker Mule. And best of all, I will have the cover's logo embossed! Fancy!
Stay tuned for updates about the special extras I'm including in the book.
Risks and challenges
My first Kickstarter was a qualified success. Now that I have the experience to run something like this, I'm confident that my second book's campaign will go even more smoothly.
I will have the book nearly complete and ready to go by the time the campaign ends, so unless there is a family emergency or similar disaster we should be on target for an early fall release.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

A few people even subsequent to reaching the contrary sex have a tendency to be uncertain of what to do next. Be that as it may, there are other people who squander no time in the specialty of enchantment once the contact has been set up.
Enticement remains for various things in various societies and distinctive gatherings of people groups.
While enticement for a few people motivates pictures of affection and enthusiastic closeness, and creates a sentiment fervor, sexiness and sexual want, the vast majority don't care for "luring".
For some others, the possibility of enticement makes a dread of being hoodwinked, exploited and sexually bugged.
It more often than not suggests that the tempter is carrying on of a rationale other than affection for the seducee, and that the question of the temptation would not commonly have occupied with such conduct.
Endeavors over the most recent couple of decades to make our general public more sex-positive have just delivered a violently shallow talk that has additionally prevailing with regards to escalating our dread of the specialty of enticement as something if permitted to be openly communicated, is frightful, ruinous and harming to us as people and to society all in all ED Eliminator Review

The Effects on Aquatic Benthic Macroinvertebrates of a Well Buffered Versus a Weakly Buffered Stream, with Special Emphasis on Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera
Hart, Cheryl M.
MetadataShow full item record
Surber samples for benthic macroinvertebrates were taken from Tabcat and Twenty Mile Streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Water chemistry samples were also taken and analyzed. Due to Tabcat's bedrock geology of limestone and dolomite and its high alkalinity, it has a buffering capacity not found in Twenty Mile. This buffering capacity makes it resistant to depressions in pH during storm events. Differences in diversity, evenness, and numbers of organisms were not observed for the three orders emphasized (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera). However, if the streams total communities are compared, a difference is seen in total numbers and the number of taxa appearing in each stream. Tabcat's only major difference from Twenty Mile is that of bedrock geology. Tabcat was found to contain more taxa and twice as many organisms than Twenty Mile.

The Teenage Girl Who Changed Music Education Forever
If I were to go back and do my teens again, I'd want to do them like Jessy. Jessy Mccabe is the inspirational woman from Oxford, who at the age of just 18 managed to campaign to get female composers on the A-Level Music syllabus after coming to the insanely depressing realisation that there were no women featured in the curriculum
I reached out to Jessy after seeing her featured on the BBC website for their own version of 30 under 30, in which she hands town took centre stage. She's the kind of baby feminist we all wish we'd had the guts to be at her age, and so I thought I'd try and allow her to pass on her enviable wisdom to us all.
Tell us about what first inspired you to make the petition to get women on the syllabus?
I was first inspired to start my petition while taking part in an in-school gender equality programme run by Fearless Futures. It was while taking part in this that I first began to think critically, I first began to notice the omission of women, people of colour, heteronormativity etc. I began to look through an intersectional gender lens and subsequently noticed the omission of women from the A Level Music syllabus I was studying. With the encouragement and great support of Fearless Futures, I knew that I had to muster up my courage, put myself out there, in order to correct this injustice by drawing public attention to it through a petition. This was particularly difficult for me as I was incredibly shy - I spoke so quietly people struggled to hear me even if they were a metre away! So the thought of voicing my ideas was particularly terrifying for me. But after months of discussion, Fearless Futures persuaded me that our voices, experiences and ideas matter and change cannot occur unless we let people know about it. With that, I was eventually convinced that I needed to start a petition to begin the path to making change happen.
Why do you think they'd been so overlooked before?
I think female composers have been overlooked before due to the creators of our history. Patriarchy today obviously devalues the work of women who put themselves out there even when they had great barriers facing them historically - and this is often put behind the poor argument of there simply weren't any female composers, or there were very few and due to a lack of education at the time they aren't as good. However, these arguments are fundamentally flawed. True, due to patriarchy, there weren't as many female composers (that we know) but as a result of canon formation we only focus on a few white men anyway so I think we can delve into the 6000 known women composers in our history to include them too! As far as quality goes, this is incredibly subjective and I think it's fair to say we can't simply paint a picture of ALL women's composition from pre-20th century being too poor to include in education - I know plenty of men's compositions fall into this category too! Marcia Citron also advocates that the omission of women's compositions comes with our idea of 'valuable' pieces being those that stand up to the 'test of time'. However, a lot of women's compositions are 'lost' (or not looked for) as more women composed at the piano at home or music was passed on aurally and therefore, in some circumstances, does not stand up to our current view of the 'test of time'. Therefore, we need to re-evaluate how canon formation occurs in order to make canons more inclusive and representative so it's history - not white, middle-class men's history!
I'm imagining that you came across a few people who told you what you were doing was too ambitious for someone so young, how did you find the strength to go on and do it anyway?
There were definitely some responses to my campaign stating that I was pushing female composers into the limelight prematurely using the arguments I stated above. However, fortunately, I had some amazing supporters around me to keep me going, including the amazing women I met at the Southbank Centre's Women in Classical Music Breakfast, as well as other supporters on Twitter. Hanna McCloskey, CEO of Fearless Futures, was also incredibly supportive. She helped me analyse criticism in order to understand where those voices are coming from, she supported me when I was upset because I simply couldn't handle media attention and she helped me practically by diverting emails to her first for a while when I was too overwhelmed to deal with the hundreds of notifications an hour! I definitely would not have been able to continue had I not had Hanna and other amazing supporters there for me.
Who is the most inspiring woman in your life right now?
There are lots of inspiring women in my life! My mum is an obvious inspiration - her perseverance in life is something anyone would look up to! Hanna McCloskey is also very inspirational - her ambition and drive to transform her career in order to set up her own enterprise to help tackle the root causes of inequality is amazing! Without Hanna's dedication to Fearless Futures and working with young people to make them realise their power in society, I would be a very different person now. Hanna taught me that it's ok to feel fear, but then instead of conceding the battle, we should always feel the fear, and do it anyway. And 'it' can be anything, from deciding to put your hand up and ask a question in school, to launching a national campaign! All of these acts require courage and this is something that needs to be practised - Hanna definitely taught me this growth mindset.
What advice would you give to young girls who feel disenfranchised by something they love like you did with music?
To young girls who feel disenfranchised by something they love: act! If you see an issue in a system, a problem where people are being marginalised and oppressed, start talking about it. Talk to your friends, put a tweet out on Twitter, send off some emails. In doing so, you are simply putting out an idea - someone may come back with a perfectly reasonable reason as to why an issue may actually be justified - and if so, great! Now you know the reason, it may not be a problem. But, more often than not, people will start to talk about it, people will be on your side and think why they didn't see that problem earlier and help you nuance the idea to ensure you are not, accidentally, perpetuating further stereotypes. By creating conversations, talking about your ideas, opinions and findings, discussions start happening - which is when you can take action and change can take place!

Online college has opened up doors for many people who could not otherwise attend college to get a degree. Many mothers who wish to return to school are not able to go to a ground campus. There are many benefits to an online degree, there are some disadvantages too.
Many people who cannot go to an online campus can return to school. Many stay-at-home moms who want to further their education or begin their college education can return to school by going to college online. Divorced parents who have to hold down a job can return to school online.
Online school is a relaxing way to learn and can be done at your own pace. Lessons do have a specified due date but can be done a little at a time as long as the due date is met.
Going to college online to earn an online degree can be done anywhere as long as there's an internet connection. People can go on vacation as long as they do their work while they are gone.
Getting an online degree saves on childcare. Parents can attend college at home so there's no need for a babysitter.
Work can be done ahead of time if a person has the time to do it that way. Sometimes things happen in life that require a person to get his or her work done ahead of time. Online college allows that to be done since the assignments are all posted at the beginning of each class.
Online school cans sometimes move so fast that a person seems overwhelmed. It is hard to keep up with assignments sometime because it moves at a fast pace and many people who are going to college online have other commitments too so it can get a bit hectic.
If you don't understand a subject it is harder to get help. Teachers can help over the computer but it is not quite the same as in person assistance. Math is one of the hardest subjects to do online. It requires a lot of one on one attention sometimes and a person does not get that at an online college.
Discussions are done online and sometimes the tone and language in a post doesn't come through the way that it is meant to. Sometimes there can be confusion.
Online college can cost people a lot more than ground campus costs. Many times people attend online college out of state. In state you can get stipends and grants that are not available to out of state students.
Online college has opened many doors to people who could not attend college otherwise. It may have its disadvantages but for many people the benefits outweigh them.

NJ Ballet's "Don Quixote" fills the stage with color and motion
"Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be." – From "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616)One hallmark of a great tale is that it doesn't lose much in translation, whether into other languages or other media. Not only is Cervantes' "Don Quixote" such a tale, it ranks among the world's greatest. Cervantes' massive, sprawling romance about an aged knight who decides to restore chivalry to a world grown ho-hum and hum-drum, accompanied by his earthy squire, Sancho Panza, is on everybody's short list for the greatest novel ever written.
"Don Quixote" has inspired plays, films, paintings, operas and musicals, such as "Man of La Mancha." It also inspired one of the most popular ballets in the repertory, which New Jersey Ballet will be dancing in full on Saturday, May 18 at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Ranked by The Star-Ledger as one of the Top Ten dance events of 2011, this production—fielding a cast of 40—is a "must-see" for balletomanes or anybody interested in dance as a medium for total theater.
Plays have scripts, music has scores and classic ballets have tradition—otherwise known as choreographic memory passed down from ballet master to ballet master. In modern times, many dances have been notated—true—and there's always video, but the staging of a ballet created by Marius Petipa for Moscow's Imperial Bolshoi Ballet in 1869 requires a link to a living tradition. That tradition was inherited and rejuvenated by Alexander Gorsky, who restaged "Don Quixote" in 1900. The version we know today is Gorsky's, enriched here and there by later choreographers.
Providing that link for New Jersey Ballet is Albert Davydov, an internationally prize-winning dancer from Kazan, Russia, who has been associated with NJB as an artist and teacher since 2004. Davydov, 32, has danced "Don Quixote" numerous times both in Russia and in the United States, appearing in nearly all of the men's roles. It's his favorite ballet, he says.
"I like the opportunity for acting this ballet offers, and all the comedy, too. Everybody gets a good part, and the dancers get to show what they can do," says Davydov, who has done NJB's staging. It's Davydov's first project of such magnitude. The production is faithful to Gorsky, while including a tavern scene added to the ballet by Kasyan Goleizovsky in the 1940s, as well as "touches" here and there that are Davydov's own.
Gorsky's central position in Russian ballet is due to his strengthening of its theatrical elements. He took the great works of Petipa, "the father of classical ballet," streamlined them so that the accent is as much on character and plot as on pure dance, and liberated the corps de ballet from a merely formal role to that of an assembly of individuals. Influenced by Constantin Stanislavsky—one of modern theater's seminal directors— and by such proto-modernist choreographers as Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan, Gorsky sought to ensure that Petipa's masterpieces told a dramatically convincing story involving characters that audiences would care about. This "upped the ante" in classical ballet. Not only must dancers excel as classical stylists, they must excel as actors and comics, too.
There are easier things for a ballet company to do than full-length story ballets. But the classic story ballets are part of NJB's DNA, through the company's founder and director, Carolyn Clark, a former dancer with American Ballet Theatre. Then as now, ABT is all about dance as total theater, about a company as "a living museum" for a diversity of choreographic traditions. The esthetic that has been lighting up ABT since the late 1930s has been lighting up NJB since the late 1950s.
"We're proud to do full-length ballets," Clark says. "If you want to be taken seriously as a ballet company, you have to do them. Our 'Nutcracker' is in its 44th season and we're still selling out. Over the years we've produced 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Giselle,' and our revival of 'La Esmeralda' in 2004 attracted a lot of attention; it was the first staging ever in the United States. Our 'Don Quixote' got its start a few years back when Albert followed me down the hallway saying, 'We have to do this ballet.' And he was right," Clark says with a smile.
Davydov was confident that NJB's dancers were ready for "Don Quixote," and Paul H. MacRae, NJB's assistant director, was ready, too.
"We're always looking to challenge the dancers, to push them, to see what they can do. We encourage them to expand their artistic horizons. And you always have to provide the junior members with the opportunity to prove themselves, to grow," says MacRae, himself a veteran of NJB and Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. McRae, by the way, will be taking a star turn as Don Quixote. "A dream role," he says.
NJB presents "Don Quixote" as prologue and three acts, including the ballet's famous Dream Scene, all to Ludwig Minkus's irresistible music.
According to NJB: "The story centers on Kitri, the headstrong daughter of an innkeeper, and her beau, Basilio, the village barber. The two young people are in love, but the innkeeper plans to marry off Kitri to Gamache, a foppish nobleman. As Kitri is refusing to obey her father, along comes Don Quixote, who confuses the situation by mistaking Kitri for Dulcinea, the imaginary lady of his dreams. His attempts to rescue Dulcinea and right the wrongs he imagines in his world keep the story moving until the young lovers can be wed in a grand celebration in the village square."
Standout roles will be danced by Kotoe Kojima-Noa (Kitri/Dulcinea); Albert Davydov (Basilio); Vitaly Verterich (Gamache); Konstantin Kolotov (Sancho Panza); Ana Luiza Luizi (Street Dancer); Junio Teixeira (Espada); Kerry Mara Cox (Graziosa); Catherine Whiting (Cupid), and Ekaterina Smurova.
"Don Quixote" promises beauty, thrills, laughs and spectacle. NJB will be dancing on Saturday, May 18, at 8 p.m. at the Mayo Performing Arts Center, 100 South St., Morristown. Tickets range from $29 through $59 and can be ordered through the Mayo box office: 973-539-8008, www.MayoArts.org.

Here is a funny story from our files, that happened somewhere in the last 50 years: A foul and persistent odor (not magnolias) forced the First White House to close for five days recently.
No it was not a "flag flap" about the Confederate Battle flag. Instead a large and exceedingly ripe possum had expired without being thoughtful or affluent enough to arrange a decent burial for himself, thus demonstrating the pitfalls of failing to make "pre-need" arrangements.
By then it was post need-time and his mortal needs were removed, unceremoniously, I presume…after a decent time of mourning the First White House is back in business!

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work with Charleston's own lingerie store, Bits of Lace. They graciously provided some gorgeous lingerie for us to shoot with and I have to say that the results were incredible! We were originally hoping for an outdoor shoot, but all of that lovely stormy weather we had a few weeks ago, pretty much ruined our chances of shooting outside. We decided to relocate to my residential studio and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
This first shoot features a soft pink lace chemise (by "In Bloom by Jonquil"), romantic white chemise (perfect for a bride to be! Also by "In Bloom by Jonquil") and sultry dark black bodysuit (by "Natori")! Bodysuits are exceptionally flattering on pretty much everyone, as they make your legs look a mile long!

The Latest: Chicago expanding police body camera program to South, West Side neighborhoods
CHICAGO – The latest developments in the fallout from fatal police shootings in Chicago and a federal civil rights investigation into the city's police department (all times local):
11:30 a.m.
The Chicago Police Department says officers will wear body cameras in six South Side or West Side neighborhoods starting this spring.
The department said in a news release Wednesday that the six areas were chosen after a review of patrol activity and crime data.
Officers have already worn them in one North Side district.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the cameras will help "build trust" in the police. Emanuel and the department have faced heavy criticism over officers' treatment of suspects, including the 2014 killing of a black teenager who was shot 16 times.
The University of Illinois at Chicago's Center for Research in Law and Justice will study the body camera program. It will examine whether the cameras have any impact on the use of force, police decision-making and citizen complaints.
8:30 a.m.
Demonstrators are planning to march through downtown Chicago's high-end shopping district again to draw attention to the 2014 police killing of a black teenager who was shot 16 times by a white officer.
Organizers are hoping the Christmas Eve demonstration will be a repeat of another Michigan Avenue demonstration in which a few hundred people disrupted shopping there on Black Friday.
A group calling itself The Coalition for a New Chicago says the march will begin a noon at the south end of the Magnificent Mile shopping district and move north.
The area is one of the largest shopping attractions in the Midwest and hosts many high-end stores and hotels.
The release last month of police dashcam video showing the shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald has led to weeks of sporadic protests.
5:45 a.m.
Audio recordings of radio calls between Chicago police and a dispatcher show at least one officer had requested a Taser before the fatal police shooting of a black teenager.
Seventeen-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot 16 times by one of several officers responding to a complaint about car break-ins in October 2014. The release of police dashcam video last month showing the shooting has set off weeks of protests. McDonald was carrying a knife, but appeared to be walking away from officers.
The dashcam recordings have no audio.
WMAQ-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1m74IM6 ) that it obtained audio of dispatch calls through a Freedom of Information Act Request.
It shows that at least one officer on the scene was looking for a non-lethal way of subduing the teen.
It remains unclear which officer requested the Taser or whether an officer with a stun gun arrived on the scene.

I'm not supposed to use the "C" word. Change makes people uncomfortable, they say. They tell me no one likes it. It scares people. They resist it and are hurt by it. It's so dangerous that its mere suggestion causes people to feel guilty and ashamed. After all, why would the "C word" be mentioned if there wasn't something wrong with the status quo?
I disagree. I believe deep down we all want change. After all, we all know someone else who needs to change, right? Whether it's a co-worker whose communication style gets on your last nerve, a family member who's always nagging, or a friend who's persistently late, the world needs more change, not less. Each year both individuals and organizations spend tons of money, time, and effort to create change that will last.
Usually, disciple making requires new ways of thinking and doing. It's rooted in change. Disciple makers not only understand their own need for change but also know the demands of lasting transformation. But how do we spur change in the one we're discipling?
One of the primary change tools skilled disciple makers carry is challenge. When used well, challenge catalyzes change in individuals and cultures. It is a change catalyst.
CAT-A-LYST (noun)
1. A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
2. A person or thing that precipitates an event.
The word catalyst evolved from the Greek katalysis which combined kata which means "completely" and lysis which means "to loosen". In a chemical sense, this occurs without the catalyst undergoing permanent change. When a catalyst is introduced it loosens what was previously fixed. That loosening paves the way for change.
The catalytic process of change is uncomfortable. Challenge ignites change because it knocks us off our equilibrium. Challenge demands something. It can't be ignored. The shock causes a reaction. Often it's denial or anger, but time and reflection usually brings us to clarity that leads to commitment towards change. Need evidence? Think about what's sparked the most intense growth in your life. Was it a challenging life situation, a tragedy, a challenging person? For me, it's been individuals challenging either my character or my values.
Challenging others is difficult for most. We mistakenly think people aren't interested in being pushed. The Reveal Survey has found that the vast majority of all church-goers desire more challenge. Average church-goers aren't the only ones who need to be challenged, so too, do pastors and church leaders.
Jesus frequently challenged both the disciples and the religious leaders. He challenged assumptions (Luke 9:12-13, Mark 10:17-18, et al) and behavior (Mark 4:38-40, Matthew 6:2-3, 5-6, 16-18, et al). He called people to live by faith and to move beyond what they were initially willing to offer (Matthew 8:18-22). When they fell short He accepted what they could offer in faith (Matthew 8:23-27). Though some responded with recoil and hard hearts, others responded with intrigue and openness. Jesus used challenge to help him discern who had "ears to hear and eyes to see."
So what makes a challenge catalytic? To challenge effectively we must do three things:
First, catalytic challenge is rooted in relationship marked by love. It's not that we can't challenge others in a sermon, blog post, etc, but the accountability that's present in a disciple making relationship makes the challenge catalytic. It was the disciples' love for Christ that motivated them to be more like Jesus. When He challenged them, the relationship made it safe for them to meet or not meet his expectations.
Second, catalytic challenge is Spirit-driven and rooted in prayer. Prayer helps ensure that the challenge is proactive not reactive. Sometimes challenge is the result of emotional reaction. When a disciple maker challenges in this way, he may later realize he's challenged something that's not such a big deal or that the Spirit isn't in. If we're seeking lasting change in someone's life then using the challenge tool must be intentional and prayerfully discerned.
Third, catalytic challenge asks for something and then accepts what people give. Every challenge is a form of asking for change. However, most change happens incrementally, it's evolution, not revolution. After Jesus challenged the disciples, He accepted what they were willing to offer (Mark 4:13, 33-40). Though they often disappointed Him, He continued to love and teach them. He didn't give up on them. His commitment to them wasn't dependent upon their behavioral performance but on their willingness to continue following (John 6:60, 67-69).
Here's one more thing on challenge. If your discipling relationship has become stale, it could be lacking in challenge. Without challenge a disciple making relationship will often feel dull and stagnant because it doesn't have the healthy tension and movement that challenge brings.
Let me close with this, what does challenge look like in your discipling relationship? Are you unsure if your challenges are catalytic?
Challenge ignites change. There's no more reliable way. I challenge you to evaluate first by asking if they are rooted in a loving relationship, if they are Spirit-driven, and if they accept what people have to give. And second by asking the person you disciple if they'd appreciate more challenge in their times with you.

I read the thesaurus when I'm depressed. I curl up in a quiet corner and immerse myself in unfamiliar words. It is a habit I have developed over the years to cope with any sort of mental hardship. Plus, I have always liked words. It started when I was twenty-two, during a two week stint in a mental ward. My stay was semi-voluntary; I had signed the papers under pressure from a few people in my life at the time. They thought I needed to get help. I believed them. So, I packed my bag and off I went, convinced, at the time, it was the right thing. As always, I packed reading material. I had carefully chosen my books from the small shelf in my bedroom, I was a reader, but did not possess the home library I do today. The pickings were slim, to say the least, and I was unsure of what one reads while committed to the mental ward.
Hence, I packed the following: The complete stories of Flannery O'Connor, The complete stories of Carson McCullers, The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and We Have Always Lived in The Castle by Shirley Jackson. All books I had read several times and had turned to, often, for familiar solace. Upon my arrival, a nurse decided my reading material was not conducive to retrieving mental health, and confiscated everything. I spent a few days wandering around the ward aimlessly, I was unaccustomed to not being able to read through a depression. In the common room, I found an old dictionary atop a box containing the remnants of a Scrabble board game. I was so elated at having found a book to read, even if it was an outdated dictionary, that over the next week and a half, I read the entire thing from a to z, twice. Even today, I can distinctly feel myself curling up in the corner of that common room, the old vinyl chair sticking to my skin, and reading. At the end of my stay, full of medication and psycho-babble, I placed the dictionary back where I had found it, and walked out the door.
Today, at forty years old, I find myself in the midst of another upheaval in my life, depression has visited me a few times over the past eighteen years, but this is only my second experience with a major life crisis, or perhaps it is actually my first. The thing I have come to realize is that at twenty-two there was nothing truly wrong with me, except that I was twenty-two. I wonder if in another eighteen years, I will feel the same way about my present day self, that there was nothing truly wrong with me except that I was forty. True, there is my inability to find a job and my loneliness after having lost a group of friends, but I was in that same proverbial boat at twenty-two, broke and lonely. The only honest difference I have found between then and now is that I no longer view the world as a wide open place, filled to the brim with possibility. No one is trying to tuck me away in a mental hospital. And I no longer read the dictionary. Several years ago, I graduated to the thesaurus.
I collected them from yard sales, flea markets and bargain bins. They now fill the same little shelf that once housed my entire library. I get a certain giddiness each time I find a new one. From the thesaurus, I have graduated to phrase finders, especially the old ones that contain wonderful antiquated phrasing, uncommon in modern day conversation. My ever hungry mind filled with the vernacular of days past, I have become a rather bizarre and erratic conversation partner, much to the amusement of my husband and our good friend Marty, who often ask me to repeat myself so they can hear me say such odd things as, he doesn't know chalk from cheese, a second time around. Marty, in his seventies, seems to get the most enjoyment out of this little game, possibly due to the fact that he has heard these phrases before, though not for decades. My latest acquisition is a handbook of synonyms, antonyms and prepositions that was printed in 1947, I found it while having coffee with Marty in a local bookstore. It cost five dollars and I spent all of this morning in the corner reading it.
In recent years, I have managed to pair my word consumption with walking around my neighborhood and channel it into my writing. I live in a small city. I am a people watcher and like to witness things change, as well as stagnate. I wander alleys and side streets. I stand on corners and observe my neighbors. I ride my bicycle in the park along the river and think about words and how they fit together. I am developing a strong, albeit peculiar, internal dialogue. I still read when I am sad, though not always a dictionary or thesaurus. I read novels and poetry, short stories and essays. I love the smell of books and the feel of paper between my fingers.
One last thing, when I was twenty-two, I dated a musician. I asked him once if he had to choose would he be deaf or blind. He chose blind because he could never, willingly, give up the sound of music. I hadn't a preference at the time. Today, I would choose deaf, because I could never, willingly, give up the ability to see the way words appear on a page, to trace them with my fingers and marvel at the way they fit together. Below is a prose poem that came from a day of walking and reading some years ago. I have a series of them, all titled the same as this blog and numbered. I once claimed the numbers had a meaning, even a math formula. They don't. The numbers are random. And that's just fine with me. It's the words that are the biggest toad in the puddle. It's always the words.
Proust is My Co-Pilot # 52
They pulled a body from the river today. They pulled a body from the river. They pulled a body. They pulled.
The house is an oven, warm and square, where you keep to the corners, fever- browed and nauseous. Startled.
Feel the shifting of dust in the vacant rooms past your walls, the shifting of your own body, the shifting of ice on a half frozen river. The city itself, nothing more than a peeping Tom, the window sullen with its stark face, the face sullen with your stark window,
and always the whitened sky overhead.
Conversation is a cookie jar, high on a shelf, just out of reach, and brimming with words you've forgotten how to use. Grammar, skirts the room, punctuation makes a move for the staircase, while you, with a ballpoint pen, string of adverbs about your ankles, testing patterns and forms you've little use for,
think merely of the sound and the the suck of speech on your tongue.
A man with a camera strung from his neck stands outside your house. A man with a camera strung from his neck. A man with a camera strung.
A man.
"You've got a lot of excitement today," he tells you matter-of-factly, " They've found a body in the river, right over there."
Together, you face the buildings blocking the water from view, he seems snagged in time, a prisoner inside a calendar, or perhaps a clock, ducking the smooth rotation of a second hand, spinning its axis again and again and again, he moves along with it, through the alley and into the city beyond.
Anger is a curious hobby. You sit with it by the fireplace, knitting its loose threads, fingers looping thoughts, into thickening knots, spinning a manifesto of animosity, a gem of isolation. Displacement no longer a physical misfortune, but that of wit and lack thereof.
You've lost the knack for charity, the taste for empathy. Finding humanity no more satisfying than the bright orange fruit left in the bottom of a crate.
Whether it be humankind or the peeling of an over-ripened Clementine,
either one will,
leave a sour taste in the mouth.

If you have been burning seasoned or semi-seasoned firewood then kiln dried logs are going to be a real treat for you! Kiln dried logs are clean-burning with high heat output and leave less flue and chimney residue than unseasoned or semi-seasoned firewood. Although it is almost certainly cheaper to buy firewood that has not been properly dried, the cost in lower heat output and potential damage to your chimney flue can make poor quality firewood far more costly in the long run. Putting it simply, kiln dried logs are the ultimate!

It's occurs to me in looking around this morning at the news and commentary that Send to be Ex-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich would've made an ideal candidate to run Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
It also occurs to me, that he would not have turned dirty on us just out of the blue. This has been a pattern with him all along. That would be the usual way of it. So the question becomes, what is it that suddenly triggered all of this retribution?
Now, before you get all huffy on me, thinking that I am getting defensive over Blagojevich, think again. It's my take that he should be facing life in front of a firing squad. Thing is, given what we now know of the man, that ship should have sailed a long time ago. The chance that his kind of activities went unnoticed for all that time approaches as close to zero as no matter. The guy's history is so questionable, and has been for so long, one cannot help but wonder how what is the manage to last as long as he did. There is only one answer to that question; those around him are equally dirty. The reputation for Illinois politics, is most certainly a well deserved one.
That answer, however, leads us back to the question of: What changed? What is it that triggered all this retribution against Blagojevich now? A logical answer would be; "He made too many political enemies on his way up". Even that doesn't seem to explain the intensity of what he's facing, however. Absent all that fury, all that fire and smoke, we come to the conclusion that I mentioned at the head of this column; that he would most certainly have been involved in some quasi governmental agency with a mega dollar salary, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or he would have been involved at some level of the Obama administration. That would have been political payback as he would've expected it. After all, both he and Obama share the same routes in terms of their political career. They both come from the Chicago political circle.
I have begun to wonder, however, if Mr. Blagojevich would be facing impeachment, absent Obama's rise to power? Would he be facing these problems if someone other than Obama were involved? I doubt it. Now, of course one of the bigger sins, supposedly, involves Obama's Senate seat. But I begin to think it beside the larger point. After all, we started hearing the name of Blagojevich's corruption (and learning to spell and pronounce that name) well before the controversy of the Senate seat being sold to the highest bidder came to the fore.
Think about it; But for all the investigations into the stinking mess that is Obama's background, Mr. Blagojevich would have remained under the radar, and therefore remained Governor Blagojevich, his corruption unabated . As it is, the case against Blagojevich achieved its critical mass, and became a staple of newspapers across the country only once Barack Obama achieved political prominence on the national stage, and before his prowess as a Senate seat salesman was known.
This exposes to us, two ideas at once. First, that Illinois is going to have work an awful lot harder than simply outing Blagojevich before its politics are seen as something other then a bad 1930's gangster flick. Blagojevich may be the current prize, but he's hardly the entire problem. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly to the nation, the possibility that Obama or his people had something to do with this particular distraction showing up so prominently on cable news channels every night.
While it could be argued, that Mr. Obama or his people having something to do is the political demise of Governor Blagojevich, is performing a public service, one would have to question the timing. As I've already pointed out, this guy's been dirty forever. On that basis the current prosecution of the governor takes on the appearance of a prosecution of political convenience. He has certainly prove an appointive and Paris meant to Obama, who has repeatedly demonstrated that he has little tolerance for being embarrassed. As we've said here several times before, Obama is someone who is used to the idea of managing his own spectacle. Blagojevich became an impediment to that, clearly.
The question of whether are not Obama and his people have anything to do with the Blagojevich matter in terms of its prosecution also bears on whether or not Mr. Obama was involved with Mr. Blagojevich's misdeeds. Do we have some backside covering going on here? In short, we come to the question of what did Barack Obama know, and when did he know it? And indeed, there are a few investigations going on out there just now attempting to determine just that.
It's my belief they will fail to answer that question. Frankly, the chances of our getting that particular question answered any time soon approaches a factor of zero. no great feat for someone who was so used to the idea of managing his own spectacle.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter — to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
