The Beach Boys vs. Capitol Records
As the '60s were drawing to a close, the good vibrations between the Beach Boys and Capitol Records were quickly turning sour. Though the label had been their home since the beginning, as times changed and the band's popularity began to drop, they were no longer a priority for the label. This would, in part, lead the band to question their standing with and their treatment by Capitol. In April 1969, the Beach Boys filed a lawsuit against Capitol Records for slightly more than $2 million.
The seeds of this go back to March of 1967, when the band issued a lawsuit against Capitol Records asking for termination of their contract, as well as $225,000 in outstanding royalties. In July, as Capitol announced that a settlement had been reached between label and band, it was also announced that the group would now have their own label. Brother Records was established, and would be distributed by Capitol, with the first releases being the "Heroes and Villains" single and the Smiley Smile LP. Though used on this one single and album in 1967, the Brother label imprint would lay dormant until their departure from Capitol.
On April 12, 1969 the Beach Boys issued their lawsuit against the label. According to Keith Badman's book The Beach Boys, the suit claimed more than $600,000 in unpaid royalties, and nearly $1.5 million in unpaid production fees due leader Brian Wilson. The 1967 suit would come back into play on the 1969 proceedings. The suit was ultimately settled, and their contract with Capitol Records, which expired on June 30, 1969, was not renewed.
The severing of ties with Capitol marked the end of one chapter, and the beginning of another, concentrating on the road ahead which included a stronger focus on Brother Records. After leaving Capitol, they found a new home for Brother at Reprise Records. They announced plans for the label at a press conference, saying they "hope to created the furthest reaching music company ever established," adding that "Brother Records will have a different policy in dealing with artists than most record companies have." Another part of the new venture included building their own state-of-the-art recording studio.
The band went on to release such classic albums as Sunflower (1970), Surf's Up (1971) and Holland (1973), all on the Brother label. The label would essentially fold in 1979 when the Beach Boys signed to Caribou Records. Ultimately, the entire catalog has ended up with Capitol.
In November 1969, the Wilsons' father, Murry, who still maintained control over their publishing company, Sea of Tunes, sold the songs to to Irving Almo Music without consent from any band members. The amount of the sale was $700,000, and within a few years, the catalog had an estimated value of over $30 million, due in part to a resurgence in the band's popularity with the release of the wildly successful Endless Summer compilation in 1974.

Having an affiliate marketing strategy is an important key to finding success as an affiliate. If you are just throwing content out there with no real direction, then you cannot possibly expect to earn an income.
Smart affiliates develop a very clear affiliate marketing strategy and they follow some key steps in order to achieve success. If you are just starting out in the field of affiliate marketing, you need to be aware that having a very clear affiliate marketing strategy can help you to earn an income consistently.
1. Work hard. If there is anything you should know about affiliate marketing, it is that you will not get rich overnight. This is a myth and if anyone is trying to sell you the secret to achieve this, put your wallet back in your pants and run away. The only way you will ever get rich overnight is with a lottery winning or an inheritance, and if you inherit money, you usually have to wait for a long time to see any money. Affiliate marketing takes a lot of effort, knowledge and patience. You may work on content now, and get a lot of articles out onto the net, and you may not see any return on those efforts for six months. If you have done your research, though, once your site is indexed and you start to receive traffic, you should expect consistent sales.
2. Hold yourself accountable. If you have a plan to launch several websites by a certain date, then put some deadlines in your calendar. Try to stick to those deadlines and get the work done. Not only will you have a feeling of satisfaction when you do the work, you will also see returns when you get that first commission check in the mail. Many marketers do not even consider that they should follow an affiliate marketing strategy and plan things out. When they fail because they are overwhelmed, many will walk away. It is a known fact that most affiliate marketers fail before they succeed. If you fail, then you should continue to try, because you can only learn with failure. Rest assured you will not make the same mistakes again, and next time you will know how to get past those hurdles.
3. Choose a niche that you know something about. If you are unfamiliar with a topic, or are just not interested in it, your content will not really be believable. Why waste your time promoting something you know nothing about? Staying with something that is within your knowledge base is the best choice. Aside from that, know the product your are promoting inside and out. Know who your audience is. If you are marketing an eBook and your target audience is teenagers, most teenagers are not going to whip out a credit card, download an eBook and read it. They do not want to read a book; they want a product or a solution to their problem right now.
4. An important affiliate marketing strategy is to choose an affiliate network that is not being over promoted on the internet. The internet is chock full of people promoting internet marketing products. Of those people, probably at least 75% of them know nothing about the product, all they know is they want your money. Why would you give them money when you can sense that they don't even know what they are talking about? Most often newbie affiliate marketers make this fatal mistake. When they don't see immediate returns, they fail and they quit.
5. Find a hungry market. Health affiliate networks are amongst the fastest growing and most profitable affiliate networks that you can consider. They provide products that many hungry markets are looking for, yet not many people consider this option.
Always consider what your affiliate marketing strategy should be. Make a plan, execute that plan, and once you know the basic steps, continue to market. Health affiliate networks can help you to achieve success with some of the best payouts available in the industry net wide.

The CU@SC concert series returns to the Simmons Center with a piano concert by Hyunsoon Whang, McMahon Endowed Chair and Professor of Music, along with a celebration of the artistry of Cameron's art students on Friday, February 1. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a preview of Cameron's 2013 Cameron Art Exhibition, and Whang will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Following the concert, Whang and the student artists will be feted at a reception in the Simmons Center lobby. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for K-12 students, members of the military and senior citizens. Cameron students, faculty and staff are admitted free with valid ID. Contact the Simmons Center Box Office at 580-252-2900 for tickets.
Whang's program will consist of a variety of beloved piano music from Beethoven to Debussy.
"I will open the recital with a euphoric G-flat Impromptu by Schubert, then will change gears to a set of variations on 'God Save the King' by Beethoven. This is an early work, Beethoven at his more jovial and happier mood. Debussy's 'Estampes' will follow. This is appropriate, considering the concert is in conjunction with an art show, as the French word 'estampes' means 'pictures' or 'engravings' though there is no perfect translation. The second half of the program will be devoted entirely to Chopin's music - two beautiful, expansive Nocturnes followed by three waltzes. The waltzes showcase how different his waltzes can be in character: the humorous 'Minute Waltz,' a wistful A-flat waltz (sometimes referred to as L'adieu) and then finally the virtuosic 'Grande false brilliance.'"
The Student Art Exhibition 2013 will feature artworks in a variety of styles and media.
"The collection of student artworks for this year's exhibition are truly exceptional, both in technical skill and creativity," says Edna McMillan, Chair, Department of Art. "The faculty are proud to display our student accomplishments through these highly diverse and imaginative expressions."
Classical drawings created by students in the Drawing I and II classes executed in graphite, charcoal and pastel will be displayed as well as expressive and interpretive drawings from the Advanced Drawing and Figure Drawing classes. Oil paintings featuring both the academic and expressive approach to subject matter will be showcased. Original prints will include lithography, mono prints and etchings. Digital imagery and graphic design images will encompass logo design, brochure development, poster design, corporate identity, etc. Subject matter throughout the exhibition will include still‐life, landscape, the figure, portraiture and the self‐portrait. Mixed media sculpture will include interpretations of persona, cliché and kinetic works. Approximately 75 works will be featured in this year's exhibition.
CU@SC is presented by the Cameron University School of Liberal Arts. For more information about the concert and art exhibition, call 580-581-5506.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sacramento State junior right handed pitcher Brennan Leitao allowed just one run on four hits over eight innings of work and got plenty of offensive support to record his 23rd career win to tie the program record and give the Hornets an 8-2 win over North Dakota on Friday.
Leitao improved to 8-3 on the season while tying his career high with nine strikeouts. His 23rd career win tied the program record set by Erik Bennett from 1987-89. Leitao is now 7-0 this season in WAC games with a 1.43 ERA and a 52-9 strikeout to walk ratio.
"Any time you get a chance to do something special like that it's exciting and hopefully we can get down there to Mesa (for the WAC Tournament) and get another one," Leitao said. "It gives me a ton of confidence and obviously with the offense putting up runs like that you can dominate the strike zone and try to get a lot of swings. This game's over and now we have a chance tomorrow to put it away, and next week is huge for us for the program and for the school."
Sacramento State (34-21, 20-6 WAC) remained 1.5 games ahead of Grand Canyon atop the WAC standings. The Hornets can clinch the regular season title with a win tomorrow OR a Grand Canyon loss. Sacramento State has already secured the No. 1 seed for the WAC Tournament next week while Friday's loss eliminated North Dakota (10-28, 8-15 WAC) from postseason contention.
UND starter Andrew Thome matched Leitao through the first three innings, which were scoreless and were completed in just half an hour. Leitao allowed back-to-back singles to open the top of the fourth inning but worked out of the jam, and in the bottom of the fourth senior Will Soto doubled home senior David Del Grande for the first run of the game.
Sophomore Nathan Lukes had an RBI single in the fifth inning to double the Hornet lead, and in the sixth the home team pulled away. The squad sent eight men to the plate in the inning and plated four runs on five hits, including a 2-run double from Lukes.
Leitao was one out away from completing eight shutout innings but North Dakota drew a two-out walk and an RBI double from shortstop Tyler Follis ended the shutout bid. Sacramento State came back with two runs on two hits and three UND errors in the bottom of the eighth, and though the visitors added a run in the ninth Hornet freshman Austin Ragsdale was able to finish off the win.
Lukes remained red hot at the plate, going 2-for-5 with three RBIs and reaching base for the 35th consecutive game while upping his batting average in WAC play to .364. Freshman Brandon Hunley went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored while Dane Fujinaka and Kyle Moses each went 2-for-4. Follis was 3-for-4 for North Dakota while Thome went the full eight innings allowing eight runs (seven earned) on 14 hits and one walk.
The Hornets close the regular season against North Dakota at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Seniors Del Grande, Soto, Clay Cederquist, Hunter Greenwood, Blake Hugaert, and Scott Loper will be honored following their last collegiate home game.

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more.
There's something about August that calls for simple meals, lots of fruit-laden dessert, and...making a mess with your CSA's extra tomatoes? Here's what we've been up to this week, from babies to gingerbread beach babes.
Amanda: The first of our 2 CSA mishaps. Local food on the mean streets of Brooklyn Heights.
Merrill: Clara's first trip to Pok Pok. (She packed her own food.)
Kenzi: It's pretty lovely up here in Maine. (But the mosquitoes! Oy.) Here is breakfast eaten on a porch that overlooks the ocean (!!), complete with wild blackberries we had just picked. (The rest of our haul is destined for an adaptation of Blueberry Snack Cake later tonight.) The other one is a tray full of haddock sandwiches and seafood chowder from a local greasy spoon on Main Street.
Kristy: Summer on a plate.
Kristen: Sunday supper menu planning, LA-style.
Nozlee: In a hurry to make a quick lunch for work the next day, I cooked regular, white pearl couscous in water with two chopped-up magenta carrots I bought at market. When I came back to stir the finished couscous, it had turned bright purple from the carrots! Totally unreal. (My friend Maggie described it as the opposite of the disappointment you feel when you blanch purple green beans.)
Michael: Last week my wife and I threw a dinner party. In addition to genius cucumber I made Sichuan-style pole beans and one of my standbys: a great Food & Wine recipe for coconut laksa with shrimp. I subbed out some shrimp for Montauk squid from the Park Slope farmers market. Having recently moved from hundreds of miles inland, I'm totally geeked on local seafood!
Christina: It's taxi cab-yellow sunflower season at the greenmarket!
Rachel: Silly gingerbread people ready for vacation.
The Genius Desserts cookbook is here! With more than 100 of the most beloved and talked-about desserts of our time (and the hidden gems soon to join their ranks) this book will make you a local legend, and a smarter baker to boot.

141 Years of Service
As the Town of Sand Lake prepares to celebrate its bicentennial anniversary; we would like to make known that 2012 marks the 140th year the West Sand Lake Volunteer Fire Department has been serving the town. The West Sand Lake Volunteer Fire Company #1 was the 3rd rural volunteer fire company to be organized in Rensselaer County and the 1st in the Town of Sand Lake.
Mill owner, John McLaren, spearheaded the organization of the fire company as a way to protect the local mills. In the 1870's the members protected the mills and homes in the village with "bucket brigades" until they raised enough funds to purchase their first apparatus, "Old Joe", in April of 1876. "Old Joe" is currently displayed in the museum portion of our fire hall.
The West Sand Lake Fire Department currently protects over 10 square miles of rural and suburban Rensselaer County including some 5000 residents. We have approximately 50 active fire fighters, seven active fire apparatus (including Old Joe) as well as three command vehicles. With those resources we respond to over 300 alarms each year.

PowerPoint presentations take hours to create - about an hour a slide, I have found. When I am asked to put on a training session these days or make a presentation at a conference, I am essentially required to release rights to the presentation for any one to look at or use. Sometimes when I look for stuff on the web, I am referenced by my own presentation! When I started in this crazy business we used overheads and 35mm slides and there was no way for people to get copies. It's really convenient for attendees to be able to download and look at presentations at their leisure, but there should be a way to limit the use of the material. Does anyone have any suggestions on how that might be done? Converting to PDF makes it more difficult to copy, but certainly not impossible.
Views: 518
Paul - We know what you mean. Lately, our presentations are a mixed media show and PowerPoint is only part of the information/education. So, it won't help anyone to see the slides without seeing the entire presentation. In those cases, we say 'no' to sharing because we don't want some of the info to be taken out of context with the other, supporting info. Our presentations are "a system".... sound familiar?
Brothers and Sisters
when it comes to education... I say "CopyLeft"
give credit to the source and SHARE
Building Science Corporation is very generous with their material...
and they still manage to make a living
You can post it on Google Docs.
Its free.
It lets you limit viewing to only those email addresses you invite and it lets you prevent downloads and printing. Online viewing only.
The problem for presenters is with the hosts such as ACI and others. They require a PPT copy in advance and they distribute same to attendees. I have no issue with attendees reading and printing it for there personal use. but theres nothing to prevent the attendees from redistributing it and re-copying it (pirating it).
One of our most important jobs as trainers is to share knowledge. And this sharing is the hallmark of our times. And those trainers who are the most respected seem to be the most generous. Yet it can be painful to watch your carefully-crafted slides and other handouts disappear into the hands and hard-drives of strangers who may well pirate the stuff and then turn around and use it for personal gain.
But I've watched my stuff get distributed informally like this for years, and I'm not sure that it has ever done any damage to me or my associates. I have often sat in the back of the room at well-known conferences and watch as one of my slides after another pops up "mistakenly" in the slide shows of people who should know better. I guess the piracy should be flattering, so I try to take it with a sense of humor, because in the end this leakage of intellectual property has never really hurt me.
BUT -- I offer this advice to those who would like to add a thin layer of protection to their intellectual property.
Then you can rest your head on your pillow at night knowing that you've at least tried to protect yourself. And if someone still insists on using your stuff without authorization, inform them nicely that -- just like their mother probably told them --it's not nice to steal things.
Contact me anytime if you questions about the security of Acrobat documents.
Paul, you said, "when I am asked to put on a training." This makes it sound like you are funding your curriculum development out of your own resources and giving away free lectures. We sometimes develop content on speculation (planning to recoup our costs at a later date) and also do some pro bono work from time to time. But more often we get paid by a utility or government agency to develop and deliver some specific content for hire.
In my experience, no client will hire you to deliver a training if they don't get to enjoy the use/re-use of the intellectual property they have paid for. Indeed, where public funds are used, to do otherwise would probably be a misuse of the funds.
If however, your content is self-funded and truly unique, you might try to declare it as "pre-existing intellectual property" when you negotiate a new training contract. Then I agree, it makes sense to take some commercially reasonable steps to copy-protect it (but more like Chris Dorsi than the MPAA).
I think a better approach is to always keep innovating and not worry too much when you see something you thought up being re-integrated by another trainer.
That said, anyone who rips off someone else's work without attribution and passes it off as their own should be ashamed of themselves. We may not be able to send them back to first grade, but we can at least call it what it is when we see it.
If anybody asks me, I always offer free use of any of my material (since expansion of the knowledge base is why I got into the business to begin with).
However, I have usually added a line at the bottom of my master slide saying something like "© Home Remedies 2019". I've never tried to enforce this declaration of copyright. In short, I encourage folks to use my material, but I do appreciate recognition. Similarly, when I use other people's stuff I try to attribute that as well.
Generally, however, I rarely design my Powerpoint slides to be stand-alone training media and I find that folks rarely go back over them anyway. At least now folks rarely print out reams of paper copies of their slides.
I too started with 35mm slides and even with Powerpoint, I use the media mostly as a visual representation of the issue (either photos of actual houses or a graphic) I wish to discuss (and a reminder to myself of what I want to discuss). I really dislike Powerpoint screens with tons of words or bullet points that are then either read to the audience or totally ignored by the speaker leaving the trainees having to try to listen to what's being said and trying to read what is on the screen at the same time. In most cases, I provide an additional stand-alone document, either an outline or a full-blown essay that could be used as a training/review aid.
Sample from Home Performance 2019 can be found at http://www.eventscribe.com/uploads/eventScribe/PDFs/2019/7251/87851...
If I want to create a thumbnail version of my presentation, I chose "slide sorter view" in Powerpoint and then do a screen capture and save as a PDF. (see attached)

Hourglass Vol.6 Eye Palette Neo-Classic
The palette contains 6 eye shades. Five are matte (inky navy blue, intense black, dusty rosy pink, chocolate brown and cream) along with 1 shimmer, which is a gentle brightening peach.
I really like how they have chosen to have the two lighter shadows in a larger size as these will be the ones that you'd likely use more of.
As with all Hourglass shadows these are richly pigmented, very long wearing and blend well.
I really like this palette, I was initially hesitant as I thought it would just be liner shades and base shades, but they are very versatile, in the look above I used all shades and just blended the darks with the lights to get my preferred colour intensity.
This does not contain fragrance, gluten, parabens, phthalates or sulfates.
I bought this from zuneta.com

A very beautiful look!ReplyDelete
That's a gorgeous palette. Really beautiful (and useful) selection of shades.ReplyDelete
It looks gorgeous and it's so expensive :(ReplyDelete
I'm still dithering over this palette. The colours look beautiful though and I am very interested to see how Hourglass do matte eyeshadows. Thanks for your post as it helps a lot with my decision making!ReplyDelete
Jane x
Really, really gorgeous palette! That blue is to die for! Love the look you came up with :)ReplyDelete
This palette just arrived at my local hourglass counter. It is beautiful, I almost bought it but I have exceeded my monthly beauty fund :-PReplyDelete
I've always liked Hourglass eyeshadows. I'm not a matte eyeshadow person but this doesn't look dull like a lot of mattes.ReplyDelete
Hi Eli,ReplyDelete
Thank you :)
Hi Grace,
I have been using it a lot since I bought it, hopefully they will bring out more palettes with future collections x
Hi Evelien,
Its always the way isn't it, the prettier they are, the more ££ ;)
Hi Jane,
I think you would get a lot of use out of it, probably not as much use with the pinky shade. The texture is really good, the coverage they give is really impressive x
Hi Vintage Makeup,
Thank you :) I do love the blue, its such a rich colour.
Hi Rei,
I have a habit of exceeding my monthly cosmetic fund as well ;) I seem to do it within the first week or so of the month as well, which isn't good ;)
Hello Marcia,
I was very impressed as mattes can often go wrong, I think the coverage,long wear and pure colour of these make them that bit special :)
Beautiful palette, definitely easy to use and for once not all browns or greys or shimmers!!!ReplyDelete
God knows I don't need anymore palettes in my collection, but this is definitely one to collect!!!
PS Excellent eye makeup look! ;) xx
I've loved every Hourglass product I've tried thus far (gloss, lipstick, foundation and primer.) This palette is absolutely gorgeous on you! I'm going to have to check it out in person, but I have a sneaking suspicion that soon it, too, will be mine!ReplyDelete
Hi Tina,ReplyDelete
Thank you :) I know what you mean, I have so many palettes now I am going to have to get bigger storage! It is a lovely selection of shades though :)
Hi Shannon,
LOL, yes, if you see it you'll have to grab it. Glad you like the eye look :) They are one of my favourite brands for eyeshadows:)
Great look! This palette looks very versatile. I really love the texture of the Hourglass shadows :) xxReplyDelete
Thank you for this post, it's very useful as I haven't seen much info or swatches about this palette online. I think I might get it next time I order at Zuneta, although I do wish that there was only one light colour because they look quite similar to each other.ReplyDelete
Hi Makeup Magpie,ReplyDelete
Thank you :) They do have a really good texture, very long wearing and opaque, I do hope they bring out some more palettes like this xx
Hello Klara,
Glad to help, I have seen two other reviews for this but have been surprised its not got more of a mention, seems like its been overlooked! I do think you would get a lot of use out of both the light shades, you'd probably use the matte as an all over colour and the peachy one as highlighter or applied over the other colours to give them a bit of a shimmer x
What a stunning palette! Gorgeous look you did, makes your eye color pop!ReplyDelete
Hi Sonia,ReplyDelete
Thank you :) It really does contain a lot of useful shades, I hope they bring out some more versions.

The Kate Spade dream
Of all the brands out there, it's Kate Spade that tickles my fancy most. I like the aesthetic, the femininity and even whimsy. And yet there's nothing superfluous or frivolous about the brand. It's pretty and functional and lady-like. The quality is top-notch but the price isn't over the top. If I put up my own clothing and accessories brand one day, I want it to reflect the same principles as the Kate Spade house. Just look at these photos that I grabbed from the online shop:
Sigh. Then there's the shoes, the accessories, jewelry, baby things, home stuff and stationery! It's like the total women's store! That's the dream really: I'd love to put up a shop of the things I love and share them with other women. I'm especially adoring the porcelain plates (I have a thing for a beautifully set table) and I really wish more people would make their tables pretty. We Filipinos love feeding and entertaining our guests after all! Imagine if we did it with fine china and stemware!
Anyway, I told Daphne, "I want to be the Kate Spade of the Philippines!" She was very encouraging. Then when the bag business died, I wailed to Nicole, "What was I thinking going into a business I know nothing about? I'm a writer, for goodness' sake!" So we'll see how this unfolds. I have many plans, many many plans. Some excite me more than others. Right now, my hubby thinks I should focus on the writing first. It is what I know best. He's right. One day, one day. We'll see!
Do you have any secret dreams? Please tell me so I can be inspired, too!

i love kate spade! i own few items! it's functional and chic--very timeless.. :) great post! love your blog. following you now! kisses!ReplyDelete
During my me-time, I go to Browhaus for my eyebrows, Vivere for my hair, Nail Spa for Mani-Pedi and The Spa for massage. Because they are in different areas, I cannot do it all in 1 day.ReplyDelete
So, I would love to own a one-stop pampering house for all moms! House with salon and spa. I would add a gym and coffee shop. One place for our pampering needs. Aside from that, we can build a community where moms can chat and share experiences.
That will definitely cost a lot of money... one day, someday :-)
I want to be Ree Drummond (www.thepioneerwoman) of the Philippines -- blogger forever, lol. I know I'll never be a Dooce, or SimpleMom.ReplyDelete
And to add: I'm with you with the well-appointed table. I learned all about entertaining at home from my mom, especially since we often had visitors over. I'm still waiting for the perfect Noritake set -- I want several sets one day, just like my mom. And she has lots of fine linens, napkin rings, chargers, serving platters --- sigh. :)ReplyDelete
My ultimate dream is to travel the world and write about the places i've been to.ReplyDelete
You're right about kate spade,i also like the bags.feminine yet functional.
I love Kate Spade too. That's my inner preppie girly-girl talking :pReplyDelete
I love Kate Spade, too! I love how she uses brave, happy colors.ReplyDelete
And when you open your bag business again, I'm certainly going to buy from you!
Secret dreams? I want to have a charming little bakeshop and travel the world. :)
I love the pink pants! It's awesome! :DReplyDelete
Thanks for dropping by my blog! It really means a lot that you spare the time to read... and comment!

Series: Foundations of policy toward electronic money Description:
Comments on the paper "Electronic money and the Fed's role in providing payments services / Bruce J. Summers."
Keyword: Biographical sketch
Creator: Weinberg, John A. Series: Foundations of policy toward electronic money Abstract:
As a network, a payment system is likely to exhibit network externalities and perhaps some public good characteristics. Such properties may be more pronounced in an electronic payment system, because of its greater reliance on communication infrastructures with high fixed and low variable costs, for instance. This paper presents the basic economics of network externalities and reviews some basic principles regarding public goods. It then asks what these phenomena imply about the role of the Federal Reserve in emerging payment systems. The general conclusion is that there is reason to be skeptical that network externalities and public goods will be significant sources of market failure in electronic payment systems. These phenomena, by themselves, give rise to no particular, essential central bank role in these markets.

Manatee Critical Care Center
Recent Story
Vilanzo the manatee was beached and cold stressed, but got some new friends while he was rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild by Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - watch his story here:
About the Manatee Critical Care Facility
The charismatic state marine mammal of Florida is endangered and the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is here to help. Committed to saving endangered species that live right in our backyard, JZG has constructed the first ever Manatee Critical Care Center in Northeast Florida. Though found in the waterways around the First Coast, any manatee that becomes cold-stressed or injured needs to be transported to other care centers in Orlando, Tampa or Miami.
Building a Critical Care Center in Northeast Florida has provided more immediate care for the already-stressed animals and also cut down on transport distance and time for state employees and volunteers.
The $2.1 million center was funded by private individuals who recognized the need for a care center in the region, and a $500,000 grant from the State of Florida. Built to hold 5-6 animals at a time (pending each animal's individual situation), the center provides temporary housing and care for manatees until they are healthy enough to be returned to safe waters.
Located at the juncture of the Education campus, Wild Florida and the back of the African Forest gorilla exhibit, the center provides limited and periodic views of manatees for Zoo guests. However, due to the center only providing temporary housing, there may be times no manatees are present in the pools.

How to redirect blogger blog to blogspot.com address
This is a guest post from Darssh. Darssh is a Blogger, Entrepreneur and Internet Lover.
It is not a new thing since few days that your blogspot.com blog may redirect to a country based
domain. Perhaps it is worldwide. Every blogger blog owner may have the same problem of automatic
redirection. So here in this post, we have a tweak that enables your blog to stay on blogspot.com URL.
Well, first of all let's answer the question. Why a .com redirect to a ccTLD (Country Specific Top Level
Domain) URL may hurt you? This is because according to MR. Search Engine Optimizer's law, you can't
host the same content on different domains. If you are using blogger on your own top level domain,
then there is no point of worry. But if your blog has a .blogspot.com address in its tail, then it may hurt
So, let's get into the answer now. Here is the simplest JavaScript code (Pretty short too!) that you can
use to save your blog from being redirected:
window.location.href =
Sign into www.blogger.com (Dashboard), click the down arrow , select TEMPLATE,
click on EDIT HTML to open the template editor,
and place the given code in the Header section, for example, just before the </head> tag and your blog will no longer have that country specific address and will instead remain as, for example, blog.blogspot.com and not blog.blogspot.in anymore.
Note: This code is for stopping .blogspot.in redirects. You need to change it to your own country's TLD.

We haven't even seen the new season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" yet, but it's painfully obvious that Kenya Moore is an instigator.
Maybe it's too much beauty on the show; and some people are feeling a bit intimidated. Whatever it is, Moore, 41, knows she's wrong for the tension easily felt through the television screen.
She recently admitted the drama is coming from her.
"[Cynthia] was being disrespectful and overstepping her boundaries, so I had to let her know that, that wasn't acceptable to me. It resulted in security being called," Moore told People. But she denies there was any pulling of weaves and such.
Funny thing is, the former beauty queen attempted to detach herself from the stereotypical "RHoA" showcasing, but said she's in the center of all the madness.
"I am in the middle of most of it, and probably cause most of it. I went through a lot of ups and downs with the women on the show," Kenya said. "So far, people have been saying I'm their favorite, and they haven't seen one episode!" she adds.
Who said that? We need proof.
Remember she's supposed to be in the middle of someone's relationship too. We wonder who?

In March 1968, it was released as a single, backed with "The Inner Light." The song was recorded on 3 and 6 February 1968 before the Beatles left for India. This single was the last release by the band on Parlophone in the United Kingdom, where it reached No 1 for the two weeks beginning 27 March, and Capitol Records in the United States, where it reached No 4 for the week beginning 23 March. All subsequent releases, starting with "Hey Jude" in August 1968, were released on their own label Apple Records, under EMI distribution, until the late 1970s, when Capitol and Parlophone re-released old material. The song, which was recorded in five takes, made its first album appearance on the 1970 collection Hey Jude. The recording began with three takes of the basic rhythm track, with McCartney on piano and Starr playing the drums with brushes.

Sooner or Later Kısa Özet
No one in the tiny town of Boothill, Texas, knows the real Shaun Murphy. Heck, most of them don't even know his first name - and that's the way Murphy likes it. But he can't hide from the pretty young postmistress, Letty Madden. Letty's brother is missing, and she knows Murphy's the only one who can help her find him. But Murphy doesn't need her money. And so when Letty comes to him, her begging brown eyes as dark as bittersweet chocolate, he makes her a very indecent proposal.
Letty Madden is a woman of grit and faith, a woman with a mission. She'll do anything to get her twin brother back, even if it means giving herself to Murphy. But their rendezvous is far more passionate than they ever expected...and sooner or later, they'll have to face the fact that they've fallen wildly in love.

Risk assessment
Moderate growth due to underinvestment
Growth in 2019 will continue to be predominantly driven by private consumption, which represents more than 80% of GDP. Household demand will be sustained by strong flow of expatriate remittances, supported in turn by a persistently dynamic labour market in the United States, the leading destination for Guatemalan emigrants. The accommodative monetary policy in place since 2013 (key interest rate at 2.75%) and inflation, which is contained within the central bank's target range (4+/-1%), should stimulate domestic demand as a whole. From the production point of view, the agricultural sector is expected to grow more dynamically owing to base effects following 2018's climate events and volcanic eruptions. The construction sector is expected to benefit from reconstruction activities and infrastructure projects implemented by the government in the run-up to the June 2019 elections. Investment, however, will still be constrained by the lack of infrastructure, the strained political climate and a still deficient business environment (98/190 in the Doing Business 2019 ranking). The lack of an agreement between the government and Canadian company Tahoe regarding the operation of the Escobal silver mine is also dampening investor confidence. The Supreme Court's decision at the end of 2017 to suspend Tahoe's operating licence for failing to respect the Xinca indigenous people's right to be consulted, which was upheld in September 2018, requires the company to renegotiate with local communities before it can resume its activities.
Fiscal revenues still too low in the absence of reforms
Guatemalan public finances are characterised by a structural lack of tax revenue (11% of GDP in 2016), limiting the resources available for public spending and investments that are required to fight poverty (health, education) and improve infrastructure. The highly fragmented political landscape leaves little hope for a major tax reform. In this context, budget implementation remains weak, with actual public expenditure often lower than planned in the budget. While expenditure in the 2019 budget will mainly be financed through public debt issuance, criticism has been levelled at the lack of anti-corruption measures. Public debt is still low but its service is relatively high relative to revenues(13%).
On the external accounts side, exports are expected to grow more slowly, as brisk demand for textile exports in the United States fails to compensate for a weak performance by agricultural exports on the back of relatively low coffee and sugar prices. At the same time, imports are set to increase, mainly linked to higher prices for commodities. The trade balance deficit will be largely offset by expatriate remittances. The reduction in the current account surplus, due to slower growth in remittance flows, is however expected to depress the Guatemalan quetzal, which should remain on a downward trend through 2019. Even so, depreciation is expected to remain limited in view of the country's strong external position (foreign exchange reserves equivalent to 7.4 months of imports at the end of September 2018).
A tense political climate on the eve of the presidential elections
Ahead of the presidential election in June 2019, the political climate in Guatemala remains strained and shaped by corruption cases and tension between the government and the judiciary. President Jimmy Morales and his administration are in a power struggle with the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG), the UN-backed anti-corruption commission that has, among other things, launched a corruption investigation against Morales and his entourage. After banning CICIG leader Ivan Velázquez from re-entering the country, President Morales announced in September 2018 that he would not renew the commission's mandate when the current one expires in August 2019. In this setting, the fight against corruption will be at the heart of the June 2019 presidential elections, which will feature a second round in August if no one wins an outright majority in the first round. The fragmented political landscape means that the potential winner is still uncertain, while President Morales is constitutionally barred from running for a new term. Whoever wins the election will certainly have to form a coalition to govern, which will severely limit their ability to act. The fight against poverty and insecurity, as well as migration issues and anti-corruption actions, will be the main priorities of the new administration.

The Avarca originated from the Island of Menorca. It was formerly a traditional footwear used by the farmers and rural people as it was strong and adaptable to the Menorcan countryside.
The soles were originally made from old car tyres, as it was a readily available material. As the sandals grew in popularity across Spain many imitations arose but to be an authentic Avarca, the sandals must be made in full and by hand on the Island of Menorca.
In order to protect the heritage and authenticity of the sandals, the Menorcan government produced a tag to reflect this (which all Palmaira's have). Our factory uses traditional methods, and we work with an incredible, well respected shoe designer, who has tweaked Palmaira's to give the female foot the most flattering shape.

Busy day for you guys, we recognize. But tipster Tom has written in with a pressing question:
A few months back you guys were able to solve the mystery of the Cubs fan with the pink hat.
I come asking for similar help. I have attached a picture of a gentleman who sits courtside for every Bulls game. He usually sits next to Scottie Pippen or other celebrities (Kanye West).
I've come to the conclusion that he is either Jerry Reinsdorf's grandson or Jud Buechler's illegitimate son.
Please help.
Wait, that isn't Brian Scalabrine? I should have known—he probably couldn't afford silk ties.
But we know Kanye would rather be sitting next to someone else—he once rapped, "I met this MILF at the All-Star, gettin' action, a cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson."
I-Team, get to sleuthing. Help Tom out at email@example.com.
UPDATE: Mystery solved.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan got a dose of upbeat economic news Friday when the government said industrial production rose 2 percent in May from April, the fourth straight monthly increase, while the most-watched consumer price index stopped falling for the first time in seven months.
For years, Japan has been dogged by deflation, or falling prices, which can drag on economic growth, and the Bank of Japan has set a goal of 2 percent inflation within the next two years.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, has embarked on an ambitious economic revival program since taking office six months ago through massive monetary easing, public works projects and structural reforms — dubbed the "three arrows" of "Abenomics."
Data released by the government showed that the nationwide consumer price index minus fresh foods, which can be volatile, was unchanged from a year earlier after being in negative territory for six months. The last time it was zero percent was last October.
And the core CPI figure for June in Tokyo — often used as a predictor for the nation — rose 0.2 percent.
Investors bid up the Japan's benchmark stock index by more than 50 percent between the end of last year and May amid hopes for a revival, and the economy grew a stronger-than-expected 4.1 percent in annual terms in first quarter.
But share prices have fallen back over the past month amid concerns about the effectiveness of Abe's reform plans, a feeling that prices rose too high too fast, and concerns over the possible scaling back of the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative easing as the American economy improves.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index jumped more than 3 percent by midday Friday, but those gains seemed more linked to a diminishing of concerns about the Fed's policies and a weaker yen, which was trading at about 98.7 yen to the dollar.
In another bit of other good news, the government said the jobless rate remained at 4.1 percent in May for a third month.
The outlook for Japan's vital manufacturing sector is a bit choppy. Despite the month-on-month gain, industrial production fell 1 percent compared with a year earlier. Manufacturers are projecting a 2.4 percent drop in June, followed by a 3.3 percent rebound in July, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said.
The report said shipments rose 0.8 percent from the previous month, while inventories fell 0.3 percent, an indication of increased economic activity.
Junko Nishioka, an economist at RBS Japan Securities Ltd., said she is optimistic that Japan's economy will continue to improve in the coming months.
"Domestic consumer demand is following the growth in industry production," she said. "I think it's the result of a promising economic push."
Nishioka said preliminary indications suggest the CPI will rise 0.4 percent in June. She said that the yen's depreciation, which boosts profits at Japan's giant exporters such as Sony Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp., should help to buoy the economy.
"In 2012, the CPI didn't stay up because the overall economy was looking down," she said. "I think what's different this time is that the depreciation of the yen looks strong. If that continues, the rest of the economy will follow."
Abe has said reviving the economy is his top policy goal, and trumpeted his economic accomplishments over the first six months of his administration on Wednesday.
"Just as we were losing hope that we may never get our economy to grow back, we regained some confidence and think that perhaps Japan can play an active role in the center of the world once again," Abe said.
He also said a strong economy is key to assertive diplomacy. "A country that has lost economic power cannot demonstrate strength in diplomacy," he said.

Running injuries are common; various studies report between 30 to 75 percent of runners are injured each year. Running involves the whole body and therefore a good training routine should include flexibility, strength and running specific exercises. There are several parts of the body to keep in mind when developing a training routine, but one area often overlooked is foot strength. No matter what type of a foot strike you have, the foot is the first part of the body to hit the ground, transmitting forces up the leg, and influencing how the rest of the body will respond to the impact.
The foot is supported through the deep muscles on the bottom of the foot, or intrinsic muscles, as well as the plantar fascia which travels from the base of the toes to the heel. When the foot strikes the ground, it should land on the outside part of the foot in a rigid position. This position is termed supination and helps to move you forward. As the body moves over the foot into the stance phase, the foot becomes more flexible to absorb the shock and adjusts to the terrain, also known as pronation. As a runner starts to push off the toes, the foot becomes more rigid again to help propel the body forward. The arch of the foot acts like a spring, stretching as you load it and recoiling to help propel you forward.
People have different foot types and may pronate or supinate more or less than someone else. Although certain foot types may increase your likelihood of a particular injury, it is important to know that supination and pronation are normal parts of the gait pattern. If you have been told you pronate, it doesn't necessarily mean you need orthotics; it may you need support, but you also probably need to strengthen your foot! What is important is that you have strong, flexible feet and ankles for good running form.
To avoid running injuries, in addition to having a strong core and hip muscles, it is recommended to strengthen the deep intrinsic foot muscles. There are four layers that make up these intrinsic muscles. These muscles support the foot and body with walking and running. Often people wear orthotics or big clunky shoes to "support" their feet and do not spend the time strengthening all of these muscles to enhance foot control. We do not like to wear a back brace without strengthening our core, so why should we effectively brace our feet without strengthening them? Learning how to strengthen these muscles can only benefit your support system in your foot and decrease the load on the plantar fascia.
Another group of muscles that help the foot stay strong are the lower leg muscles. These muscles are called the extrinsic muscles because they are on the outside of the foot, but have tendons that connect onto the bottom of the foot, for leverage and support. If the foot and lower leg muscles are stronger, they will be able to support and disseminate the shock of striking your foot which is significant as runners achieve approximately 1,000 steps per mile.
Spaulding Outpatient Center Framingham is hosting a free Running Clinic June 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., for a night filled with information about running. Registration is required as space is limited: http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=bsmh7qdab&oeidk=a07ee6bbdpg5fd863bd.
We also offer the RunStrong program, geared toward healthy runners looking to improve their running pattern and efficiency. A Physical Therapist can improve your exercise regime and correlate it to how you run via video analysis and musculoskeletal assessment. Runners are individually assessed for lower extremity flexibility and strength, balance, and motor control which are the keys to putting it all together into a proper running pattern. Strength doesn't guarantee a successful runner, but knowing how to control your body while running can. If you would like more information about a one-on-one comprehensive video gait and musculoskeletal analysis with one of our RunStrong credentialed physical therapists, please call Leah Jensen at 508-532-4262.
Nancy Sibley, PT, DPT, CSCS and Jennifer Green PT, DPT, CSCS are Advanced Clinical Specialists at Spaulding Framingham with extensive training in evaluating and treating runners and are certified in the RunStrong Program.

KonaKart is a java-based enterprise eCommerce shopping cart application that provides an extensive set of features to enable retailers to successfully sell their products over the internet.
KonaKart is a Java / JSP / XML based solution with comprehensive easy to use java, SOAP, RMI, JSON and JavaScript APIs that allow you to quickly integrate eCommerce functionality into your existing systems. The customizable parts of KonaKart are Open Source and available under the GNU LGPL.
Note that this app is a demonstration and is configured for use on liferay-tomcat bundles only. The KonaKart storefront app can be run on other app servers but the portlets for these must be generated by executing the relevant ANT tasks (for your Liferay version and app server) after first downloading KonaKart. (Details on how to create your own portlets from your own downloaded copy of KonaKart are described at http://www.konakart.com/docs/LiferayPortletInstallation.pdf )
This particular app runs the KonaKart storefront as a Liferay portlet. This demonstrates the power of the API approach of KonaKart as it shows how easy it is to point your portlet at a remote KonaKart system in order to provide complete online store functionality within Liferay. The app is configured to use JSON for its communication to the online demo store at http://www.konakart.com/konakart/
To use your own products, rather those managed by our online demo version of KonaKart, you can simply download your own free copy of KonaKart and install it locally - see http://www.konakart.com/downloads for details. Having done this you can either configure your app to point at your local version or instead create your own portlets from the local installation (using the supplied ANT tasks - see http://www.konakart.com/docs/pi_chapter.html ) and run the complete store within a Liferay portlet.
An Enterprise version of KonaKart is also available - with many more features than the Community Edition (see http://www.konakart.com/product/community-or-enterprise ). If you wish to download a trial version of the Enterprise Edition please make this request in a mail to email@example.com using your company email.

The University Honors Program offers students a variety of advantages and benefits in curriculum, scheduling, advising, and scholarships.
First and foremost, Honors students participate in the Honors curriculum. Honors classes are designed to provide a supportive learning environment where students are challenged to develop their skills in analysis and synthesis. The Honors curriculum highlights the interdisciplinary nature of learning. It offers students numerous opportunities for service learning and community engagement. Honors classes feature some of the most outstanding faculty on campus. Honors alumni often report that their Honors classes are the ones that they remember and value for years—sometimes even decades—after graduation.
All Honors course work is noted on the transcript. Earned Honors degree designations appear on the transcript and in the commencement program. Students who are actively pursuing an Honors designation are given priority registration status, which allows them to register at the beginning of each registration cycle. This gives active Honors students maximum flexibility in planning their schedules.
In addition to providing advising about specific Honors Program requirements, the Honors staff can also be helpful to students who are preparing for professional and graduate school. The Honors Office is charged with the responsibility for advising for national and international scholarships and fellowships such as the Truman, Rhodes, Goldwater, or Phi Kappa Phi programs. Honors students who do departmental Honors research also have the benefit of an additional advisor in their major department.
The Honors Program has an attractive scholarship program for both entering and continuing students. The majority of Honors students receive some type of scholarship funding from the university.

It's an award U.S. Sen. Mark Udall will likely not accept with open arms as he heads into a re-election year.
The Republican National Committee doled out the "Lie Of The Year" award to the Democrat — as well as several other Democrats up for re-election in 2014 — on Wednesday for telling constituents they can keep their same health care policies under President Barack Obama's health care law.
Well, that was not the case, which, since the roll out of the Affordable Care Act Oct. 1, has been widely reported.
And recently PolitiFact coined Obama's words — often echoed by the president on the campaign trail and in the months leading up to the roll out — as the political lie of 2013.
From PolitiFact:
This fall, as cancellation letters were going out to approximately 4 million Americans, the public realized Obama's breezy assurances were wrong.
Boiling down the complicated health care law to a soundbite proved treacherous, even for its promoter-in-chief. Obama and his team made matters worse, suggesting they had been misunderstood all along. The stunning political uproar led to this: a rare presidential apology.
For all of these reasons, PolitiFact has named "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," the Lie of the Year for 2013.
Those words have also been echoed by Udall.
In a 2009 interview with Colorado Springs' FOX 21, Udall said in regard to the president's health care reform efforts, "If you have an insurance policy you like, doctor or medical facility that provides medical services to you, you'll be able to keep that doctor or that insurance policy."
Thousands of Coloradans enrolled in individual insurance marketplaces would have their current health care policies cancelled next year due to the Affordable Care Act. A one year extension has been implemented for those individuals.

Lily Allen Gossip
Lily Allen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Sibling Sh-t: GOT Edition
Lainey loves her Girl Sh-it and her Boy Sh-t, and I love Sibling Sh-t. It's like Girl Sh-t and Boy Sh-t piled with childhood issues and family dynamics. Of course we've had our fair share of it lately (thanks, Solange!) but it doesn't have to be so dramatic to be interesting. I'm fascinated by Kate and Rooney Mara (why won't they pose together?!). Full Story
Chanel friends
KCS Presse/ Splash, Pierre Suu/ Pascal Le Segretain/ PATRICK KOVARIK/ Getty
Lily Allen showed up at Chanel today. I just posted the collection in LifeStyle. Click here to see. Obviously she was dressed all over her body in Chanel, styled by Chanel. Which is why she looks so great. I'm about to rip that chain cuff off her wrist. Full Story
Lily Allen's Mismatched Siblings?
James Whatling/ Splash
I mean, I have to hand it to Lily Allen – I do not hear from her, and most of my thoughts about her family these days focus on whether or not Alfie is bothered by the fact that nobody likes his character Theon Greyjoy. He seems like the type who would be whiny about that, doesn't he? But Lily Allen is a relatively quiet personage these days, and in an article about the names of her children, it has to be noted that they really are rather low-key. Full Story
How are you Lily Allen?
Wenn, Olga Bermejo/Splash
Was just thinking about her the other day. So many celebrities, they get married, pregnant, and have babies and you can't get away from them. Lily Allen, now Cooper, was the opposite. Lily wanted to go underground. And she meant it. I don't know what her daughter Ethel looks like. I didn't even know she was called Ethel until these pictures came out in the UK this morning. Full Story
Lily Allen's wedding styling
I love it. Some of you are like, WTF with the earmuffs, etc, but I love all of it, earmuffs too. Which is why I saved this post for the last of the day. Seems like a nice way to end. Lily Allen married Sam Cooper on Saturday. There were sleeves. There was a lot of lace. And an old fashioned headdress that, to me, was romantic and whimsical and sweet, like something from the 20s.

One Man
The GQ Men of the Year Awards event is happening right now in London. Mickey Rourke is there for some reason. I will not assault your eyes with his photo. Am only attaching one man's photo: Elvis Costello. Please. Who else do you need, man-wise? Also – the gorgeous Freida Pinto wearing slightly too much dress and Lily Allen in a cougar negligee and a f-cked up weave. Full Story
Lilo, Ungaro, Paris, and London
Lindsay Lohan turned up in Paris but headed out of Paris with a sh-tload of luggage en route, supposedly, to London to catch up with Samantha Ronson who played a gig last night at Mahiki. Lilo has been ordered to keep a lower profile after landing a job, finally, on a film set which is why the paps haven't been shooting her every day but now that she's messing around overseas, perhaps a date with Lily Allen too, we'll see her cracked out dirty face again at 5am soon enough. Full Story
Snort coke in moderation
This is apparently Lily Allen's message about cocaine. In a new interview, Lily – who is tight with Lindsay Lohan – believes that people are overreacting when they criticise cocaine use. According to Lily, using cocaine doesn't necessarily result in the total sh-ts and that it's all about the fortitude of the user, like if you become an addict, you simply have no game. Full Story
Lily's tight body
Damn. You've been holding out on us girl. Lily Allen in London today for a meeting showing off a very toned stomach accessorised by a juicy booty. Nice! Maybe a little overkill, sure. But Lily has a new album to promote. And she's eager to knock out Katy Perry. And she's been photographed looking like balls the last few days. Full Story
No match for a Queen
At the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night in London, Lily Allen was overdressed and overdrunk, arriving in an inexplicably over the top massive gown and getting progressively more licked as the evening wore on, so drunk she dared to disrespect Elton John on stage. They appeared together, with Lily attached to a bottle of champagne. Full Story
Lilo, SamRo, and Lily
Relief! Hollywood's hottest couple survives. After a quick trip to Montreal for a gig, Samantha Ronson was back in Lindsay Lohan's arms yesterday, visiting her on set of Labour Pains. Look at that body language. Sexy non? The two quickly became inseparable again and last night hooked up with none other than Lily Allen for dinner at Il Sole, to the dismay of Courteney Cox who was also trying to have a quiet dinner there.

The CCOF San Luis Obispo Chapter held our first annual meeting (in a couple years) in fall 2011 and elected a new slate of officers. We have many organic farms now certified with CCOF and the challenge, as with all chapters, is to give our members a reason to get involved at the local level. We hope to put together a group of small local farms to develop an aggregation co-op effort to better serve local restaurants and small stores. Even a co-op poultry processing center may be in the works ... time will tell!
Chapter Treasurer Eric Michielssen encourages SL Chapter members to join the local San Luis Obispo Grange: granges used to be community centers in small farming communities and are making a comeback as people get back into "local" and "community" centered things. The Santa Cruz Grange is now called the Green Grange. Local CCOF chapters might want to work with the local granges as they are great places for meetings and events!
