FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Saving Account FAQ's
Saving Account FAQ's
What is the type of information I need to submit to the Bank at the time of account opening?
You need to submit the information to establish your identity and your address and a copy of your latest photograph. You can choose from the documents acceptable by the Bank listed in the respective category of accounts.
What care should be taken while submitting the account opening form to the Bank?
Ensure that the Account Opening Form (AOF) and the additional information sheets are duly signed and complete in all respects.
Kindly tick the option for availing Visa Debit Card and Cheque book facility on AOF and also register yourself for free SMS Banking, free Internet Banking and free Mobile Banking by filling the requisite forms available on the website or at your nearest branch.
Submit Pan Card or Form 60 of all Account Holders
One Coloured Passport size recent photograph of all account holders is necessary.
Carry all your original documents for verification.
Self attestation is required on all documents attached to the account opening form (signature of all account holders is required on all their respective documents)
Alteration on the account opening form requires customer's authentication.
Please remember to complete the nomination details included in AOF. Ensure that the Account Opening Form (AOF) and the additional information sheets are duly signed and complete in all respects.
I approached the Bank in the status of a legal person such as a company, trust etc. and not as a natural person. Do I still need to submit information mentioned above?
For legal persons, the Bank is required to obtain the proof of the existence of entity (such as copy of the certificate of incorporation, memorandum/articles of association, trust deed etc. as may applicable) along with a copy of the resolution from the entity's managing body (such as the Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees as may be applicable to it) to open the account. Further, the person interacting with the Bank for operating the account on behalf of the entity needs to obtain a mandate to that effect from the entity and establish his identity. Please contact our branch official to assist you in terms of the documents that could be submitted for a legal person.
I am doing a large cash withdrawal (above Rs. 10 lacs) and the cashier is insisting that I should provide him information on the purpose of withdrawal. After all, I am withdrawing money from my own account and therefore, why should I share this information with the Bank?
The extant regulations of RBI require the Banks to closely monitor the large cash transactions and the teller is just discharging his regulatory obligation. Such an information assists the Bank in identifying any unusual transactions that are being routed through it.
You are repeatedly mentioning that the extant regulations of RBI and the rules notified under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. What do they really talk about and try to achieve?
The regulations and the rules referred to above deal with what is called as an initiative of Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Terrorist Financing (CTF). These rules and regulations try to prevent the process of money laundering (i.e., the process of dealing with criminal proceeds and projecting it as untainted property through banking channels) and financing of terrorism related activities. The regulations, in the broadest sense, require the banks to know their customers (popularly known as the Know Your Customer or KYC regulations) and to monitor their transactions. Further, specified information under the PMLA about the cash and suspicious transactions need to be submitted to the Financial Intelligence Unit, India (FIU-IND, a Government of India department, which analyses and forwards the intelligence information to the law enforcement agencies). Compliance with AML regulations assists the banks and the society at large in keeping a close watch on the transactions to identify suspicious transactions, if any, and thereby provide intelligence information (through reports to FIU-IND) to the law enforcement authorities to deal with such transactions as per the applicable laws and regulations. Co-operating with the Bank by providing required information, assists the Bank and the society in a long way in their fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.

As most of you know, I just competed in my first bikini competition and I walked away with THREE trophies! Since then, I cannot tell you how many times I've been asked "So, when is your next show?" "Gonna compete again?" YES, I will be competing again BUT it will be at least 9 months away….
9 months?!?! Yup. I'M PREGNANT!!
And it turns out I didn't do my first show alone. I was actually 5 weeks when I hit the stage and had no clue! So crazy, right?! I know what you're thinking, "Is that okay for the baby?" YES! I'm 100% natural, I took no crazy supplements( I don't even use pre workout) and I didn't do a hard core water depletion.
It all started during my peak week. I started feeling really tired but just chalked it up to peak week and lower carbs. I also felt really bloated. While I was practicing posing I notice that I couldn't hold my stomach in and I just felts so heavy in the middle!
The days after the show the tiredness continued and my appetite picked up. My goal was to ease back into a "regular" diet but I was so hungry, I was practically licking my plate clean. That paired with other classic pregnancy symptoms… I knew I needed to take a test.
I was out running some errands and shopping for a present for Jerett for Father's Day. I was at Walgreen's printing out a picture project and I thought "well….might as well buy a test while I'm here." I had some time to kill before all my pictures were done printing and I went to a nearby Starbucks, pregnancy test in tow. I had to pee so no time like the present, right?! I honestly was expecting a negative result. I assumed since I just did my competition and was pretty lean, maybe it just throw off my cycle a bit. I did the deed, sat the test on the back of the toilet and went to the sink to wash my hands. It was one of the digital ones so it took a few minute. After I got done washing up and applying a fresh coat of my NARS velvet matte lip pencil, I walk over and picked it up. When I saw the "YES +" I was shocked! And I won basic. Who else would take a pregnancy test in starbucks?!
I went back to Walgreen's to pick up my prints and bought ANOTHER pregnancy test, because one isn't good enough . This time one of the good ol' fashioned ones. Went home and headed straight for the bathroom. As soon as pee hit the stick it turned! No faint line or lag time, just a big positive sign!
"Hey Babe, come here a sec!" I shouted from the bathroom while staring down at the two positive pregnancy test.
Jerett walked in and I said "Don't freak out" and looked down at the test. There was silence then he said "It's gonna be another girl… I know it."
His shock was equal to mine. Baby #2 wasn't planned and honestly the timing is awful. Jerett was leaving the next day on a military assignment for 6 months, and we will be moving (not sure where yet) some time early next year. SO I will either be moving extremely pregnant or with a newborn. But regardless of my thoughts on timing, I know God's timing is ALWAYS perfect and I'm trusting him. Now that the initial shock has worn off, we are so so excited!
I'm so excited to be sharing my pregnancy journey with you all! I will be sharing my favorite safe for pregnancy skin care products, exercise and so so much more!
Here's the first official bump date:
How far along: 9 weeks on Saturday (July 9th)
How big is the peanut: The size of a grape.
Total weight gain/loss: I started my pregnancy competition lean, so an initial weight gain was expected. The day of my show I weighed 108 lbs, today I weigh 114 lbs. So I'm back to my normal weight so I'm going with no weight gain so far. 😉
Maternity Clothes: Nope.
Sleep: Like a rock!
Best moment this week: Getting to hear the heartbeat and see the little gummy bear!
Symptoms/ Morning sickness: The first trimester fatigue is so real but thankfully no morning sickness. I didn't have any with my last pregnancy so I'm hoping for the same with this one.
Food Craving: Guacamole
Food Aversions: No food aversions but I suddenly cannot stand the sounds of someone chewing! It disgust me! DO NOT come around me and chew with your mouth open. I WILL call you out! I have a theory for this sudden onset of Misophonia. My husband also suffers from the "I wanna punch you in the face for eating that chip" reaction to loud chewing SO I'm think that my pregnant with a boy that will be just like him! 😉
Gender: Too soon to know but I'm guessing a Boy!
What I miss: I've chilled on the coffee for my first trimester. I usually just stick to one cup of half regular/half decaf.
What I'm looking forward to: Actually showing! Nothing worse than being in that did she just have a big lunch or is she knocked- up phase.
Bump: Still in the did she have a big lunch phase. Pretty sure I will be show a lot sooner with the second. With Addison I didn't really start showing till about 18 weeks and with this one I've already got a little pre-bump!
Exercise: Still at it! I've taken my sprints down a notch only because they totally wipe me out even more than they did before. I try to do at least 30 minutes of something everyday, even if it is just going for a walk.
Goals for this pregnancy: Stay active and healthy! I'm not trying to crush a new weight lifting PR or run a marathon. Pregnancy exercise is all about maintenance!
This week's takeaway: Listen to your body! If you're tired, rest! Making a baby is hard work. Mama's deserve to kick their feet up once in a while.
Well here we go! Can't wait to meet baby #2 in February 2017!

I AM liked by everyone.
People enjoy being around me.
I always attract the best resources to me in a timely manner.
My life is full of synchronicity.
People want to help me everywhere I go.
I find it easy to trust in the universe.

Download Fat Santa: 7 Days Till Christmas
This is an interesting Christmas game in the style of Mario Bros. This game secured 2nd position the Christmas game contest 2004. The story line of this game is very exciting. The graphics are good. There is one big drawback of this game, if you resize the window, your jumping height may not be sufficient enough to achieve the required level. The music of this game are related to Christmas which is amazing. Some of the control keys include utilization arrow keys which are used for moving and shift key is used for jumping. Fat Santa is a great game for all ages.

Mo Brooklyn, Mo Black, Mo Spanish
by: Dana Marie Nunez
July 2nd, 1997. I remember dancing in my living room to "Hypnotize" by Biggie Smalls as my cousins hyped me up with our curls sweated out and cake smeared on our faces. I remember running the streets of my neighborhood, East New York in Brooklyn, drinking bug juices and eating 25 cent bags of chips galore.
I spent my childhood memorizing the sunrises, warmth of the sun, grains of the sand, and cool water playground sprinklers in the projects. I come from a place where we indulge in long walks down to the bodega. We blast the honorable Notorious BIG throughout the streets at block parties while empanadas are sold. We consider chicken spots holy, and bacon-egg-cheese on a roll is a hood cultural dish.
Although Brooklyn holds so many flavors like a marinade of sofrito, I never liked when people asked, "Where are you from?" I say "Brooklyn." It's the simple response but never accepted at face value. When I respond "Puerto Rico" it seems as though I always let the person down. The issue is always that I'm not as "foreign" as people make me out to be at first glance.
Saying I'm Puerto Rican does not satisfy the curiosity of many. As a child, people often asked my mother if she was my nanny. In their minds, I don't look like Jennifer Lopez so I don't line up with their expectations of being Puerto Rican. My entire life I have found no one in media to use as a comparison to explain, genetically, why I am so fair skinned. My dirty-blonde curly hair and green eyes tell a far deeper and more complex story than the sexualized "Latina" look that the media shows. I am too white to be "Spanish," too Spanish to be "black," too black to be "white." Some call me ethnically ambiguous, but I call it being "otherized."
In 2004 I first read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. This novel reminded me that in our gentrified slums or your "newly redecorated neighborhoods" something fierce could always grow through austere conditions. In particular, this quote spoke to me:
"No matter where its seed fell, it made a tree which struggled to reach the sky. It grew in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps and it was the only tree that grew out of cement. It grew lushly, but only in the tenement districts."
After reading this story, feelings arose a hunger in me at the modest age of 11 that I am still trying to satisfy through writing. I have been writing since I was 7 years old. It was a way I self-medicated for all my troubles. Through observation and truly studying the people around me, I took scenarios I witnessed and wrote them. I began by writing realistic fiction pieces from my life, imagining if those real conversations took another route. In middle school, I started entering writing competitions, and by high school, I fell in love with Toni Morrison, Junot Díaz, and Assata Shakur. As I got older that writing would get harder because there were certain things I couldn't make up anymore. Some scenarios I just had to experience.
It is exhausting living in a country where there are constant battles over skin color, religion, gender, and sexual preference. Facebook is a place where people reveal their true inner thoughts on politics while twitter is now a credible source to cite. Somehow going viral is now a sign of success in entertainment.
Representation in media is very important, and it is an essential component of life that needs to be normalized. There are millions of stories waiting to be told on the differences in race, gender, sexuality, and socio-economic status. I'm a strong believer in releasing yourself into the world to liberate your mind through art and education. To open up to a world filled with hundreds of books, documentaries, and articles is to emancipate us from our inner ignorance. And acknowledging intersectionality in media is something I will always fight for because Martha can't speak for the Keisha's and Maria's. If are we all "American," why isn't the media portraying more diverse content?
Today, we cannot fight to shed light on one issue without others feeling like we are depriving them of what they have always had. Why is it that if I say "Black Lives Matter" that translates to all lives don't matter? When did Hispanic become a race? When did black become synonymous with African-American? Why is the only depiction of Asians, Chinese? Why do we still have Columbus Day? Why, when aggressive, am I called a bitch or told that I'm asking for too much? We are mixed in communities where we historically colonize and categorize ourselves. My mentality has always been to never let people simplify me to their own likings.
I am not the U.S Census; you can't put me in a box.
I want to be the voice for those who get questioned when they deviate from fitting into their stereotypes, whether it is because of their ethnicity or desire to break away from gender norms. I want to be a voice for the people who don't know their fathers and the people who just need a hug because they are scared to admit they suffer from mental illnesses. This desire to be a voice has lead me to find my purpose in media. Throughout my undergrad experience, which included two college transfers and two major switches, I have learned that a true goal of mine is to create roles for minorities. As a woman who is a decedent of Tainos and Africans, I am mixed with the rich blood of strong warriors. Women are the original warriors, and I have fallen in love with the warrior woman I have painted in my head. I have learned to love my aggressive-femininity.
With this in mind, when something bothers me, I do not sit and wait for it to go away; I analyze the situation and make the best move toward a solution. So in my life and career, I intend to create strong narratives and visuals for people of color but more importantly for black women, brown women, yellow woman, and just all shades of women. I vow to create visuals for us and by us, with our jokes, our people, and our culture.
I want women of color to know: you have a voice. I am listening; I've always been listening.
Dana considers herself a Writer/Director who is a whole lot of Puerto Rican with a dash of Brooklyn. She like films casted how she likes her food- well seasoned and paired properly. Five internships later, she's made a promise to herself to bring back everyday people to media through her own lens.

I've always loved the expression that "you can start your day over at any time" and one of my favorite ways to "start my day" is to spend a few minutes in the morning devoted to a perfectly made bed.
The 5 minutes or so it takes me to make the bed first thing in the morning allows me to start every day with one small accomplishment on top of which I can stack however many more. And when I turn in at night, a nicely-made bed is a peaceful "Welcome Home."
When I leave my house in the morning- overwhelmed by the seemingly endless tasks ahead of me that have to fall perfectly into place- with my constant guidance- glancing back at my crisply made bed gives me a little boost of confidence that the day is going to be OK. When I turn in at night after an invariably chaotic day- getting into my bed with its smooth, fresh sheets and soft, luxurious bedding- I am finally able to release the tension and pressure of the day. And no- luxurious is not necessarily synonymous with expensive.
Quoting from a Navy SEAL commander's Commencement Address this year at the University of Texas,
It's easy to get caught up life's larger problems (where we work, where we put our heads down, and who we're with) but at the end of the day it's just as important to establish the feeling of safety that comes from comforting routines.
On this subject, great sheets and linens can have a tremendous impact on the atmosphere of a bedroom, and for comfortable sleep. Covering this important detail can help add Happy and Healthy into the adjectives that describe your lifestyle.
Here in the Upper West Side (and also across the Park), my go-to sleep store is Schweitzer Linen. They've been family-owned and operated for over 40 years, with 3 stores in Manhattan. Schweitzer Linen has an excellent selection of textures, colors, and styles. From the bedroom to the bathroom and every level from luxury to efficiency, they're often a go-to source. Bed Bath & Beyond also has an excellent section devoted to bedding- most of which is at a very affordable price point. Bloomingdales has an excellent bedding department and I am partial to the sheets sold at Ralph Lauren on Madison and 72nd Street.
Some tips:
Throw away your old pillows and pillow protectors every 6 months and start fresh.
Invest in a high quality mattress pad which can be even more important than an expensive mattress.
Have several sets of sheets, pillow cases and decorative pillows so that you can style your bed differently every week.
New seasons bring new opportunities for new bedding. Once a season buy something indulgent for your bed. In the summer- a fine cotton or silk coverlet. In the winter- a perfectly weighted down duvet and cover. Fall and spring are both opportunities for a new cashmere throw.
You will sleep better. You will likely succumb to the weekend nap that your body is likely craving. Your home will feel more appealing and indulgent.

- Introduction to Visual Culture (FS1008) - 15 Credit Points
What is Visual Culture? Over the last twenty years, the visual landscape has become digital, virtual, viral, and global. A vibrant cross-section of scholars and practitioners from Art History, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, and Film Studies have responded, not only engaging contemporary image production and consumption, but also the foundations of visual knowledge: What is an image? What is vision? How and why do we look, gaze, and spectate? From the nomadic pathways of the digital archive to the embodied look that looks back, this course will introduce students to the key concepts that shape this fluid field.
- Controversial Classics (EL1513) - 15 Credit Points
Literature can provoke, offend and disturb as well as entertain. This course considers some of the most powerful and controversial works of modern literature.

This course is your opportunity to study four of the most influential and gripping texts of world literature. We begin in the oral culture of ancient Greece, with the Iliad's stark meditation on war and death, and the Odyssey's consolatory reflections on divine justice, poetry and love. In imperial Rome, we see the genre transformed into a monument to political power in Virgil's Aeneid, then thrown into disarray by Ovid's irreverent anti-epic, the Metamorphoses. We end by considering some of the ways these texts have been exploited and adapted across the intervening centuries, in poetry and prose, art and film.
- American Insurrections: Writing, Self and Nation, 1776 - 1865 (EL30HK) - 30 Credit Points

This course is delivered through a combination of lectures and seminars.
- Mind and Monstrosity: Realism and the Gothic in the Long 19th Century (EL35GK) - 30 Credit Points
Exploring connections between Gothic monstrosity and psychological realism, this course investigates an exciting range of texts and contexts from the long nineteenth century. Focusing on novels from 1789-1914, with some attention to other genres and adaptations, we ask what it means to be human, and how cultural anxieties and scientific/technological developments have affected literature (and vice versa). From doubling to degeneration, madness to the metropolis, villain to vampire, empire to the threat of extinction, we examine the work of writers such as Mary Shelley, Dickens, Poe, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, Bram Stoker and H.G. Wells.
- Union, Enlightenment and Modernity: Scottish Literature 1750 - 1850 (EL3507)
- Romanticism (EL35XR) - 30 Credit Points
The Romantic movement swept Europe in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and produced some of the most innovative and exciting literature that has ever been seen. This rule breaking art helped shape the way that we consider art today and underpins many of our ideas about imagination, originality, creativity and self-expression. This course will explore the ways in which the Romantic movement manifested itself across Britain and Ireland and will consider writers such as Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Austen and Byron.

Gothic, Romance, Autobiography: these are the central topics of mid-twentieth-century fiction by and for women, and yet have often been critically neglected. Looking at a range of women's fiction in this period, including popular and middlebrow titles as well as literary classics, this course looks at what women wrote, what women read, and who deemed these works important.

This course will examine the vast array of artistic expression that developed in the latter half of the twentieth century.
- French Cinema A (FS3523) - 15 Credit Points

The introduction will look at the status of film in France and the position of the French cinema in relation to that of the rest of Europe and Hollywood. It will study the cinema's response to and reflection of the major historical events of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The detailed study will be organised chronologically, from the 1930s up to the 2000s, but will concentrate on the aesthetic and formal aspects of the films to be studied.

- Landscapes of Film A (FS35ZA) - 30 Credit Points
This course will invite students to explore the ways films engage with and represent a variety of landscapes, and how, in turn, landscape can influence both the production and the creation of meaning in mainstream, underground and art films of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Easter Weekend Pastor's Message
"We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear"
(Acts 10:39-40).
WELCOME to St. John's on this Easter Weekend! We are delighted to have you worship with us! Our congregation's mission is to be and make disciples of Christ, in response to God's grace. We live out this mission through RELATIONSHIP. In fact, our congregation's vision statement is all about RELATIONSHIP:
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church is called to grow in meaningful relationships with Christ, with each other, and with our community as we are gathered for worship, equipped for discipleship, and sent to care.
As a church that cares about relationship, we want to get to know you! Whether this is your first time here at St. John's, whether you are returning after some time away, or whether you are a long-time disciple, we hope that you will fill out the pew cards in the sanctuary or the pew pads in the Parish Life Center. Share with us some information about yourself and how we can better serve you. In addition, don't hesitate to ask one of our ushers, greeters, staff members (or even the person sitting beside you!), any questions you might have. If we don't know the answer, we'll find someone who does! We want your time here at St. John's to be the best it can possibly be!
We also hope that you will join us for our Easter Breakfast in our Parish Life Center. Serving takes place from 8:30-9:30 a.m. This is a FREE breakfast prepared and served by our 21 confirmation students and their families. If you would like, you may share a free-will offering in the baskets on the tables to help send our confirmation students to confirmation camp this coming summer at Augustana College in Rock Island. Confirmation camp is a fun-packed week of growing in faith together through Bible Study, worship, small groups, service projects, and group outings. Thanks in advance for your support!
If you are a family with young children, know that we have a nursery available for any children ages 0-4 during all of our worship services. It is located near the Parish Life Center across from the restrooms. While children are always welcome in worship, our nursery is fully staffed and provides a safe and secure environment for our children if you would like. Paging devices are provided to the parents so that the nursery staff can reach you if needed.
Lastly, we hope that you will worship with us again soon. Each weekend, we offer four worship services – Saturday evening at 5:00 p.m.; Sunday morning at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary; and a Contemporary Worship Service on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the Parish Life Center. In addition, education opportunities for all ages take place every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. Again, thanks for being here! We look forward to getting to know you and hope that you will worship us again soon!

A VIEW FROM THE FORT: Nostalgia Breeds Nausea; Some Perspective On The Pats, Revs and the Future.
Posted by Mike Marshall on September 20, 2009
By: Jim Dow
When viewed through New England Revolution-biased eyes watching the re-branded "Boston" Patriots open up this season's NFL campaign was a painful exercise in myriad ways. While the old-school uniforms were certainly an improvement on the Fashion Institute techno-tighties with accompanying Elvis logo inspired by some marketing idiot with the visual taste of a meatball, horrific memories rushed back of a cash-starved franchise constantly that long labored in the shadow of a more prosperous big brother.
Of course back in the day the top dog plied its' trade well down the soon to be completed Rte. 95 just off the Grand Concourse in Yankee Stadium as the New York Football Giants while today the big boys (literally) waddle around right next-door, just down the hall, sharing a mildly down market Rte. 1 address that has been tarted as yet another overpriced shopping mall on the endless strip from Maine to Florida. The 15 to 18,000 crowds at B.U. Field and subsequently Fenway Park look like the Bernabau compared to the few folks who currently turn up for Revs matches at Gillette these days and while the inept, perpetually insolvent stewardship of the somewhat sleazy Sullivan family has been replaced by squeaky clean folks who have accomplished great things, winning the notoriously fickle support of the local supposed real football fans hasn't been one of them and, currently, on the verge of the MLS's 15th anniversary, things are only getting worse.
A couple of weeks ago I was taking a photograph hard by Bayou Lafourche, so far south in Louisiana that New Orleans is referred to as "up nawth," when an affable looking, largish gentleman ambled over and introduced himself, curious as to what I was up to. Turns out, after I said my piece ("I'm a photographer from Boston working on a project about…") he told me that his name was Robert (Bob) Huth, born and brought up in deepest Southie who ended up living in Cajun country after meeting his bride-to-be while in the military. But the six degrees of separation didn't end there as he told me that he had been a taxi squad player for the old Boston Patriots in their first AFL season back in 1960 and that he had actually been pressed into the breech, due to injuries, defections and general malaise, to play a couple of regular season games. And, funnily enough, I remembered watching him from the old rickety portable stand on the north side of B.U. Field, way back when. The bargain basement Sullivans and coach Lou Saban had been so desperate for bodies that they had signed young Bob with no college experience from the South Boston Chippewas, a local semi-pro
team of note. I suspect the reader knows where I am going here.
Viewed in the cold light of day with an enormous dollop of hindsight, is Steve Ralston more or less the equivalent of Gino Cappeletti, Jay Heaps a sort of Tommy Addison, Shalrie Joseph like Larry Eisenhauer and Taylor Twellman the contemporary equivalent of the "Sweet Kentucky Babe" Parelli? Well, if you think of the Revs as being analogous to the old 60's/70's Beantown Pats and Barcelona, Chelsea or Inter being the Bears, Giants or Packers of similar vintage well, yes. Which is not to say that all of the aforementioned weren't and aren't fine players, they were and are, they just weren't and aren't the very, very best in the world and when they are/were surrounded by significantly less skilled individuals like the kind one gets from the lower end of the procurement line the game they played/play just suffers by comparison. Just look at the TV ratings of the AFL vs. NFL in the 60's and MLS vs. the world today. Reality bites.
So whose fault is that? The Patriots got better only because the upstart Jets beat the overconfident Colts and the post-merger NFL became a lot more socialistic than anything the supposed socialist in the White House has proposed. Until the Krafts took over and actually brought in serious pigskin professionals to run the show, the Patriots just sucked, with just a couple of single season exceptions, mostly due to the fact that they were run on a shoestring. And now in the early 21st century Steve Nicol and Paul Mariner have to put Chippewa/BC talent next to the likes of Joseph and Ralston to try and compete in a league that is getting better and better and on a budget that, pre-inflation, Mike Holovak and perhaps even Billy Sullivan would find embarrassing.
Where to place the blame? To some extent it is the work of MLS itself, a set up that perpetually penalizes success and rewards mediocrity, something that the NBA, NFL and NHL do as well but with fat TV contracts, draft choices that have zero alternatives and plenty of shirt sale and season tickets in hand. Clubs like the Revs have no resources beyond their paltry ticket sales and the shared liabilities/profits of single entity and while Robert Kraft may be a charter member of the NFL competition committee, he doesn't seem to understand, or at least honor the fact that to succeed in soccer you need to spend more money than the next person, no matter what the rules. Given his level of intelligence I find it impossible to believe that he doesn't know, which makes for a truly cynical analysis of the situation. Worse, while the current best teams, Columbus, D.C, Houston and Seattle may have similar player pay packets dictated by the salary cap, outside of DP's (Shellotto, Emilio, Landin and Lunjberg), their coaching, scouting and other management outlays are likely considerably higher than the Revs. And then, of course, there are those pesky DP's, oh, did Toronto just sign De Guzman…
Starting up from scratch on a shoestring is never easy and, admittedly, New England got behind the schneid from the very start with horrible coaching and player decisions until Steve Nicol took over in 2002. Again, who was running the ship? After all, folks like Stapleton, Zenga and Clavijo could easily be compared to zombie incompetents like Clive
Rush, Ron Erhardt and Dick MacPherson, although, Mike Holovak, a good one, equals Steve Nicol, both worthies hamstrung by a budget made up in beancounterville. MLS gifted the Revvies some quality (Brown, Ralston, etc.) when the Florida teams folded in 2002 and I doubt if there had been any serious scouting prior to the canny Scot's and the knowing Northerner's trips to places like Buenos Aires, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Ghana and Toronto. But scouting isn't signing and therein lies the rub, the coaches can find all the talent they can assess but then comes the really hard work which, on face value, Kraft Sports doesn't have the appetite or tactical nous for. After all, we know that the coaches came back from their trip to Argentina with a short list of 40 players of interest. Has a single Argie ended up on the Revos books? It is a lot easier when dealing with the closed shop that is the NFL where the best draftees have no place to go, other than to dance with the one that brung them. Belicheck is a genius, shit, he's shooting fish in a barrel sitting there in front of the computer, let's see how he does in Ghana, Costa Rica or BA. Bluntly put, Kraft Sports, Inc. is happy to give Parcells and Belicheck the money for the groceries, Nicol and Mariner have to survive on food stamps. Or, to continue the supermarket metaphor, the coaches bring the shopping list, which might be appropriate for Whole Foods or at least Star Market, the ownership opts for day-olds, example, Jose Sand vs. Kehli Dube and if the names don't resonate, go Google, the Revs scouted and recognized the former in Argentina. He plays for Lanus and is thinking of Dubai.
And now the transfer window is closed, the trading deadline come and gone and while Babe Parelli (Twellman) is down for the season and likely his career, the folks in charge have done nothing, nothing to replace him. Yes, they brought in Edgaras Jankauskas who may be slow of foot but has a delicacy of touch that is delightful, yet the team has only two forwards in a league where you need at least three and really four to succeed. If this were the Patriots, there would be useful strikers and their partners prepping on the taxi squad, ready to fill in if and when the circumstances dictate, as in right now.
With the draw in the Swamp the chances of making the post-season got next to nil and given the current state of the squad that may be for the best. Everyone in the organization needs to look hard in the mirror, from top to bottom and decide if there need to be significant changes for the future. From the development program to the location of the stadium, to players, coaches, everything and everybody needs to be re-evaluated. The team is in transition, and while some of the factors have been beyond anyone's control, all competitive professional sports teams potentially face the same problems every season. Certainly some good new players have been brought in, perhaps as many as five but one is way past the sell-by date (Jankauskas), another maddingly inconsistent (Osei), two are kids who might also fit that label (Alston and Barnes) and one basically untested (Videria). All of these five may prosper next season and if (huge if) Twellman returns, Larentowicz doesn't bolt for Scandinavia (fat chance), Joseph is fine and Heaps, Ralston and Reis continue to play at a high level, well in the 2010 MLS you cannot fill in with Chippewas and hope to succeed.
The ambitions of ownership need to be higher than that.
Of course the final straw in the whole Pat Patriot revival is the memory of playing in Fenway Park with that funky stand hauled over from B.U. Field and set up in front of the Green Monster. Those Friday night games (Revs fans, remember them too?) where crowds of 15,18, 20,000 would go mental, plastered on Narraganset or whatever crap was sold then, supporting a team that was certainly colorful, often entertaining and fun to watch in person but always under funded and suffered by comparison with Roosevelt Grier, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff and Y.A. Tittle, to say nothing of Guillermo Barros Schellotto or Juan Pablo Angel and that it just staying inside MLS.
Does the metaphor hold? I'm afraid so. More on an urban stadium next time…

Morning Routine
This subject can be a touchy one; everyone loves their sleep...especially me! But for the last five years, I have made a habit of waking up early, and it has changed my life.
I don't wake up at 5 am and hit the ground running, quite the opposite actually. I try to wake up around 6 am (giving me an hour before the baby wakes) and this is my quiet time, my recharge the battery time, my me time.
When I wake up the house is quiet, I go down to the kitchen where my coffee cup and a fresh Nespresso capsule is already in my Vertuo machine because I prepped the kitchen before bed the night before. I make a cup of coffee, and as a special treat, I will add a little maple syrup, steamed almond milk and a dash of cinnamon. Then I go to my favorite chair and read. Sounds like it is nothing, but this quiet time to myself sets me up for a good day. By the time I am done reading the coffee has kicked and I am ready to start my day. They say that the first hour of your day and how you spend it often sets the tone for the rest of your day and your life.
It doesn't take long to get used to the early mornings and you eventually even begin looking forward to it. Going to bed a night I am excited for the morning, to get up and have that first cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee, it has been over a year now that we switched to Nespresso coffee and that has made my mornings a lot better. Having that perfect cup of coffee first thing just makes my heart happy. We use the Vertuo machine which has a variety of capsules sizes for our every morning needs. Even recently, Nespresso expanded their collection by adding the Double Espresso (80 ml) capsules this year. This is probably Carey's favorite capsule.
How do you guys start your mornings?
Thank you to Nespresso for sponsoring this post. All comments and opinions are my own.
Much Love,

"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before You. Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your face, who exult in Your Name all the day and in Your righteousness are exalted." Psalm 89:14-16
Devotional Thought For The Day
No one who is ignorant of "the righteousness of God" can understand the joy of the psalmist. The apostle Paul clarifies this beyond any question, thanks and praise be to God, so that we can grasp the wondrous grace, mercy, love, forgiveness, and salvation of God, and join in the "festal shout." Paul wrote that he had only one desire and goal, higher and more important than anything else – "to be found in Him [Christ], not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith." [Phil. 3:9] That this is what the psalmist had in mind when rejoicing in the "righteousness and justice" that are foundational to God's throne is evident from the words that follow: "steadfast love and faithfulness go before You." Oh the joy of those who know and believe the love that God has for us!
This is the source and the content of the "festal shout," the praise of God that arises ceaselessly in the hearts of all believers in Jesus, and frequently from our lips! We walk in the light of God's face, the knowledge of His great love and salvation in Christ Jesus, the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world, and we know His promise, that "if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." All the day we exult in God's righteousness and in God's Name – not a righteousness of our own. Rather, we are confessing our sins, acknowledging that even our "righteousnesses are as filthy rags" – but we have the righteousness of God that comes through faith in Christ, "the righteousness from God that depends on faith." This is the "festal shout," and those who know it are blessed beyond measure!
In fact, those who are joined to God forever in the knowledge of His wondrous love, His forgiveness, His mercy, His free gift of salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus, the righteousness and justice that are the foundation of God's throne, who exult in His righteousness, are "exalted." Obviously, this is utterly and completely undeserved – also part of God's gracious mercy, His steadfast love and faithfulness! It simply pleases the Father to have us as His dear children of faith, and to elevate and exalt His own. We often forget this, or lose sight of it, and the evil one, the enemy of God, wants to diminish the status and stature of God's children. Obviously, he cannot do this with God, but he tries to deceivingly accomplish this in our own hearts and minds, to depress us and bring us to despair, to weaken our faith and our joyous knowledge of God's love, which also diminishes our praise of God. Don't let him do this! Stay with the psalmist, and the people of God, people of faith – and lay claim to all that God has promised us, exulting in Him, and shouting the "festal shout" that "God is love." If the evil one comes around to drag you back through the mire, shout it in his face!
"All the day." Today, every day, for all of eternity! Thanks and praise be to God!
Prayer For The Day
Dear Lord Jesus, You are the love of God incarnate, the perfect expression and revelation of God's great love for us! You are our Redeemer, our Savior, our righteousness, and our sanctification. Keep us firm in faith, and joyful in Your salvation, filled with the festal shout, giving our thanks and praise to You all the day, and forever! Amen.

Months of Meryl: A Cry in the Dark (1988)
John and Matthew are watching every single live-action film starring Meryl Streep.
#15 — Lindy Chamberlain, a New Zealand matriarch wrongfully convicted of her child's murder.
MATTHEW: One evening in August 1980, Azaria Chamberlain, the two month-old daughter of New Zealander couple Michael and Lindy Chamberlain, was taken while the family was camping near Ayers Rock. She was never found again. Seconds before Azaria disappeared, Lindy claimed to have seen a dingo rummaging through the tent where her daughter lay sleeping, putting forth the soon-to-be-infamous story that a dingo had taken and perhaps eaten her baby. A seedy, sensationalist media frenzy ensued, with the Chamberlains' faces splashed across the covers of obsessive tabloids and speculative segments of nightly news programs as many, including the Australian high court, viciously questioned the veracity of the family's explanation.
None of Meryl Streep's vehicles have entered the cultural lexicon with quite the same measure of gleefully ubiquitous parody that has surrounded and even overshadowed Fred Schepisi's 1988 docudrama A Cry in the Dark, also titled — and released in Australia and New Zealand as — Evil Angels after the John Bryson true-crime bestseller that first chronicled the Chamberlain family's legal ordeal. A Cry in the Dark's devolution into little more than a widely-known (though often misquoted) punchline has proven to be both admittedly hilarious but also fairly odd, especially considering the gruesome events from which this gag originates...

17 Examples of Killer Copywriting.
You're about to see some examples of copywriting that made my jaw drop –– hopefully they make your's drop too. If you find that you like this post, you should check out my top-secret copywriting guide that teaches marketers, entrepreneurs and snow cone vendors how to sell like hell with the written word.
There is a lot of magic in Basecamp's landing page. While the headline is money, what I love most is the email opt-in. What makes this killer copywriting? "Join the 4,088 businesses that signed up last week", say's you're not alone and a lot of people have tried us and like us. "Start a free 30-day trial", says there's absolutely no risk in giving us a try.
2. Albert Lasker's "Drink an Orange" Ad Campaign with Sunkist
While today Sunkist is a mega-brand, there was a period of time where they were growing more oranges than their customers were eating. They actually had to start cutting orange trees down. They ended up hiring an advertising genius named Albert Lasker who introduced American's to the idea of "orange juice". He patented an orange juice extractor, sold it for .10 cents a piece and American's started buying oranges in droves. The campaign name? Drink and Orange. It's a concept that is anything but new to us today, but back then it made for killer copywriting.
3. Snowbird Ski Resort's "One Star" Ad Campaign
Last week, I was in Salt Lake City Utah getting my ass kicked on the slopes of Snowbird Ski Resort. While I was there, I fell in love with their billboards. They curated negative reviews and turned them into advertisements. Well played Snowbird. Well played.
4. The Hustle's Email Opt In Page
I am a little biased here because I have worked with them in the past, but The Hustle does a lot of things from a copy standpoint really well. My personal favorite is their email opt-in page –– "Your smart, good looking friend that sends you an email each morning with all the tech and business new you need to know for the day." They have expertly created a trusted and personable brand through conversational copy.
5. Miss Clairol's Hair-coloring
Anytime you are making a change to your body, you want people to notice but not so much that they question whether or not it is fake. You want people to notice the 6-pack... not the liposuction. You want people to notice a thicker head of hair... not that you are using Rogaine. The same can be said for women who are getting their hair colored. Results combined with a secret as to how the customer got the results can make for killer copywriting –– "Does she... or doesn't she?"
6. Medium's "Our Story" Page
On Medium's "Our Story" page, they have taken everything we hate about social platforms, crossed it out in red ink and wrote down everything we would like to see. This is simple yet killer copywriting.
7. Squarespace's Free Trial Landing Page
Everything about Squarespace is lovely. Everything. Like Basecamp, I really love the email opt-in here. "Start a free trial" says there is no risk for you to try us out. "No credit card required" says it's not going to be a pain in the ass to sign up.
8. Harry's Shave Plan Product Copy
Harry's is revolutionizing the shaving industry as we know it by introducing a completely new idea –– men's razors delivered right to your door step. Anytime you are introducing a foreign concept to your customers, you need to do a great job of explaining it. One way to do this is through simple and concise copy. Harry's has killer copywriting because they keep it simple. They don't get flowerly. They don't try and impress you. They just attempt to explain what they do in the easiest way possible.
9. RX Bar's Packaging
Like Harry's, RXBAR is another company that has reaped the rewards of simple and concise copy. Previously, protein bars have been complex. Half of the ingredients you read on the back of them can't be pronounced. RXBAR decided to create a bar that was just that... a protein bar. They kept it simple and created killer copywriting to further highly this simplicity. How about that ending line? "No B.S."
10. Baron Fig's Our Story Page
Baron Fig is a small online business that sells beautifully crafted notebooks. I appreciate how their story utilizes some humor. "We make tools for thinkers.* *If you have thoughts, you're a thinker."
11. J. Peterman's Sales Copy
If you've never head of J. Peterman's, you should introduce yourself now. Their online store offers an experience like no other. All of their clothes are displayed in the form of vintage drawings versus actual product pictures. Out of the 17 brands I have listed in this article, I think J. Peterman's does the best job of combining lovely imagery with killer copywriting to pack a pretty punch.
12. Hiut Denim Company's Slogan
Nothing screams simplicity like Hiut's slogan –– "Do One Thing Well." I think this denim brand proves that investing in a timeless and powerful slogan is worth all the money in the world.
13. Lion Matches Vintage Ad
I love everything about this Lion Matches' vintage advertisement. Through killer copywriting they made a match out to be the most valuable product in the world. Actually, it might be the most valuable product in the world?
14. Universal Barber Shop Street Ad
I couldn't find the official website of "Universal Barber Shop", but what a great idea for a street advertisement. Not going to get too far into the weeds here, but this is another example of how humor can sell.
15. The Aubrey Marcus Collection's Product Copy
Full disclosure... I actually wrote this product copy for the Aubrey Marcus Collection. I'm not going to brag about how great I think it is (although I do think it is great). But, if you are digging it, get in touch with me here. I would be happy to sling some copy for you too.
16. Corvette Anti-Volvo Ad
This is killer copywriting because it is humor that gives way to a realization in the customer.At first glance, you read it and smirk. Then, as the copy sets in you come to the realization that wait... Corvette is right... they don't write song about Volvos.
17. Cider Jack's Vintage Ad
This copy makes every copywriting bone in my body shake with delight. It's punchy. It's funny. It's edgy. It's killer copywriting. When writing copy, never be afraid to get a little edgy. It can sell like hell.
Alright, so that's all I've got for you today. But, don't be sad. This certainly won't be the last Killer Copywriting post I wrote. If you want me to let you know next time I put something like this together... join my email list below. Or, if you want me to write copy for you, send me an email right here.

The shades are pulled. The door is closed. There are no clocks and no phone.
The world outside seems almost to have fallen away—until the light turns green and another tsunami of New York traffic is unleashed upon the world. To your left, you see a map of my next novel, which looks like the autopsy of a whale. To your right, piles of research—Dickens novels, encyclopedias, books about conspiracy, murder, fairy tales and folklore. In front of you are the desk and laptop, and as you step closer to read what's typed there on the screen, you nearly trip over a Fisher-Price Rainforest Jamboree, which looks like the Little Shop of Horrors man-eating plant.
Welcome to my office. The real one. Even though I fundamentally believe a writer's power exists in anonymity, I'd like to crack the door a little and give you a glimpse of just what goes on in here.
So…welcome to my new website.
This is the place to find out about me and my work, my adventures and inspirations, the slow, strategic advancement of my daughter's toys into my once-sacred workspace. It's a studio, a hangout spot, a lair, an unapologetically nerdy roundtable-slash-soapbox, the place to get away from it all and talk books.
Here you'll find other writers discussing the way they live, laugh, struggle and siesta. You might discover new fiction, rehash a classic, pick up a writing tip or two—all in service and celebration of the power of the written word.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love animals. So much so, that sometimes I get involved in situations that some people (Jeff) won't be too happy about. For example, the time I fostered a 100 lb. sobery Lab for 6 months. Ha ha! So today, as I'm driving to my mom's house, I see this cute little white dog getting ready to cross the road. I thought to myself she really didn't belong at this intersection. So I pulled over to check her collar. No tags. Well, at this point, she's jumped into my car and is in the back seat with Liddy. My heart dropped and I thought something bad was going to happen. Nope. This super cute rat terrier just jumped on Liddy's lap and wanted part of her hamburger. At least Liddy thought it was funny. So now, this is officially my problem. I can't just let her back on the street. What if I came back later and saw her hit on the side of the road? This happened once about 7 years ago, and I will never forget how guilty I felt.
So, I drive around the closest neighborhood asking people if they know who's dog it is. No one knows. Then again it's the middle of the day and everyone is at work. So, on to my mom's house we go. We agree that she is someone's beloved pet because she's very well fed, makes herself right at home on my lap and the couch and gives tons of kisses. I wouldn't mind if I had to keep her for a few days...although again Jeff would probably not be so happy at my decision. So, I spent the next few hours bonding with this little dog. We stopped by the local vet, but found no microchip. Ugh! She was cute at first, but time was ticking before it was getting dark. I can imagine that if it happened to me, I would spend a sleepless night if my dog was missing. I told you I am a huge pet person. They are like my kids! So, I assume everyone else feels the same....although not always true. So, finally on my way home I made one more attempt to circle the neighborhood. Luckily the first guy I asked recognized it as his neighbors. Yay!! We drove down for a reunion. They were happy to see that "Daisy" was back home. The man went on and on about how good she was, and was so grateful that she was okay. It was such a good feeling. So, yes, I spent my whole afternoon being a dog detective. This is what my life has boiled down too. :)

Last shout for renowned Angus breedersBy Country News
After more than two decades participating in Beef Week, this year will mark the final time John and Joan Woodruff open their gates for the annual event.
The Woodruffs, who run Taminick stud Witherswood Angus, made the decision to step away from the business and started to sell off their herd late last year.
''It's a hard decision until you make it. It's been a great journey,'' Mr Woodruff said.
Having already undertaken a complete female dispersal sale, Mr Woodruff said the Beef Week open day would provide the perfect opportunity for people to see the stud's 65 bulls that will go up for sale on March 19.
He said the March sale would be the final opportunity to purchase Witherswood bulls.
''Our cows have continued to produce top quality bulls and this year is no exception,'' he said.
''Our open day is an opportunity to discuss your breeding program without the pressures of sale day.
''Our sale bulls have come through a hard, dry season and present very well. It's probably the most even line-up of bulls we've offered for sale.''
The focus on quality genetics has driven the Woodruffs and seen them purchase two record-breaking bulls — Kingdom K35 and Klooney K42 — at a Milla Murrah sale in September, 2015.
The $150000 the consortium, which included the Woodruffs, paid for Kingdom K35 was the highest amount paid for an Angus bull at the time.
Both Kingdom and Klooney will be on show during the open day, with Matauri Reality, Mar Innovation and Witherswood K0092 among the other bulls set to be offered for sale.
Mr Woodruff said visitors during Beef Week could expect to see ''the usual Witherswood type''.
''Thickness, muscle, body length and bone, temperament. They're ready to start work,'' he said.
Witherswood Angus will hold its open day on Saturday, January 26 at 1185 Glenrowan-Boweya Rd, Taminick.
