5 Dominant Social Media Marketing Techniques
After helping a variety of companies with their social media marketing campaigns in the past 2 years, I noticed that social media marketing narrows down to a few dominant techniques that work well and produce results.
However, a big problem in the industry is that most people just think about Social Media Marketing as one big technique, and without understanding what they truly want, they pay consultants(mostly self-proclaimed experts who have never driven an ROI for companies) to help them do this social media marketing thing that everyone says is essential.
The result is unsurprisingly disappointing because every company, every budget, and every goal requires different social media marketing techniques. If you are a low budget company looking to get tons of traffic in one month, you can't make online video shows everyday like Gary Vaynerchuk did because even the great Garyvee took two years to make it big. If you hire a "social media expert" to run a blog and Twitter account for you, you will quickly lose faith in social media because they're not going to get you 100K visitors in a month by just doing that.
Different companies with different goals should have different social media marketing techniques
This is a serious pain in the industry because social media marketing is something that truly works and can be very powerful, but most people(companies and consultants alike) have a lot of misconceptions regarding the different strategies and how they should be used.
In this post, I attempt to break social media marketing down into 5 Main Techniques. In that way, if you are a company, you can ask your social media experts to do a Social Media Targeting Campaign, instead of just a vague Social Media Marketing Campaign. If you are a consultant, make sure your client knows what you are doing for them and what results they can expect.
Social Media Marketing Technique 1: SM Brand Management
This is the most common technique that the "experts" promise to do. This includes creating and maintaining a blog and Twitter Account, engage people who are interested, share valuable things in your industry, and eventually build up followers, visitors, and trust. It might even involve maintaining a Facebook Fanpage (not effective if you DO NOT already have a strong brand established) or a LinkedIn group.
This technique is effective because it fully utilizes the SOCIAL part of social media. You are out there engaging your target audience. You are making friends with them and creating value for them. You are building your own popularity and trust. If someone knows what you do and thinks positively of you, when they need your product or services, they will not go on Google and find a random service they don't know. They will buy it from you. If their friends are looking for services you offer, they will refer their friends to you.
The problem with Social Media Brand Management is that it takes time, patience and persistence. Since you are not out there to close deals but to build trust, you won't see an immediate increase in sales or signups. It's only when people really trust you and care about you do they start to check out your stuff, and that could take months to years to build.
Companies who consistently pressure their Social Brand Building workers to self-promote, get traffic, and get sales will hurt themselves in the longrun and fail in social media marketing. They clearly do not understand that this technique was not appropriate for their 1 month ROI agendas.
Really engages your target market. Builds trusts. Leads to sustainable success.
Extremely slow. Takes a lot of time. Need to truly care about your audience.
When to use Social Brand Building
When you have a longterm vision of your brand and social influence on the internet, and you can dedicate at least one longterm person who understands what it takes to be popular online and engage with your target audience.
End Result: Brand

The nation's U.S. Secretary of Education is in Mississippi to see how one rural community is using an innovative approach to teaching classes for college credit. MPB's Desare Frazier reports.
The nation's Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, is with students at Holmes County Central High School watching a recorded physics lesson. The lecture is given by a Yale University professor. The session is part of an advanced placement physics class offered through an initiative with the Global Teaching Project. The project trains teacher to teach the class. Students are tutored twice a week by a graduate student at Yale online. What is happening in this rural school district is what DeVos wants communities to do across the country.
"Start new things and do things that haven't been tested and tried before because doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is just not going to work," said DeVos.
The teaching project is in at least 10 high schools in the state. They provide lesson plans, online homework, textbooks, summer camp and other resources. Seventeen-year old Tawanna Jefferson is in the advance placement physics class.
"The class makes it special for me because I want to major in architecture and architecture has everything to do with math and physics," said Jefferson.
Dr. James Henderson is Superintendent of Holmes County Consolidated School District. He says advanced placement classes are needed to prepare students for college in a global economy.
"We want our kids too, to attend the Harvard, Yale and we want to prepare our kids to do that and these AP classes will assist in that area," said Henderson.
During a roundtable discussion, school board members, administrators and teachers shared their concerns about education with DeVos including the need for more funding and the teacher shortage.

The Numbers Are In
What's going on with electric rates and bills? Well, the numbers are in. The U.S. Labor Department released last week both the Consumer Expenditure Survey for 2018 and Consumer Price Index for August 2019. Drill down and the data shows what's up, and not.
American households paid an overall average of $1,496 for electricity in 2018. That's $124.67 per month, smoothing out month-to-month variations. Or $4.11 per day, smoothing out day-to-day variations.
Households differ considerably and thus the overall average is no more than an interesting statistic to compare annual changes. In particular, southern households paid an average of $1,722 in 2018, fifteen percent above the overall average.
For western households, electricity cost them just $1,325, midwest households just $1,366, and northeast households just $1,378. So for most of the country, electricity averaged $3.64 to $3.79 per day.
Nationally, households paid $76 more for electricity in 2018 than in 2017. Though they spent $1,164 more for all goods and services including electricity in 2018 than in 2017. This meant that households continued to use about 2.4 percent of their out-of-pocket expenditures to pay their electric bills. Or about 1.9 percent of their income before taxes.
Electric rates remain moderate. In August 2019, the overall Consumer Price Index was up 1.7 percent over August 2018. But the electricity component of the CPI was down 0.1 percent during the same time period. The gap between the two numbers therefore widened to 1.8 percent.
In the last five years, from August 2014 to August 2019, the overall CPI increased 7.86 percent. But the electricity component of the CPI barely budged during the same time period, increasing only 0.31 percent. A kilowatt-hour is now significantly cheaper than five years ago in real inflation-adjusted terms.

The Houston Canoe Club
is a Paddle America Club
Link to ACA
Buffalo River, Arkansas
April 19-24, 2015
by John C. Clark
This was a perfectly timed trip. The river was up, but not too much. There was rain, but not too much. Temperatures were cool, but not too much. The group was great, quite congenial, and just about the right size. We had intended to be a party of seven, but a couple people had to drop out at the last minute.
The paddling part of the trip began from Steel Creek campground on a Sunday morning. Water level had come up from the previous week – the Ponca bridge "air gap" was 15 inches, which is about 9" higher than mean level at this time of year, and high enough for the authorities to post danger signs warning that only experienced floaters should be on the river. Our group consisted of five experienced paddlers: John Clark, Paul Nitz and Kent Walters in kayaks, and Christy Long and Jaimie Peck in canoes. Each carried gear and victuals sufficient for 6 days on the river. Air temperatures were in mid to low 60's daytime, mid to low 40's nighttime. Water temps were in the mid to low 50's. Blasting through the numerous class III stretches got us wet, and the coolness of the air temps was felt. But everyone had a dry hair week. After the first day's paddling we experienced several successive rain storms, one which included hail. Two young ladies in the adjacent campsite built a nice fire and invited us all over for hot dogs, chili, beer and tall stories.
First day we paddled from Steel Creek to Kyle's Landing, taking time out for a hike up Bear Cave Hollow. Mileage was 8 miles on water, 2.5 miles hiking. Second day we paddled 17 miles, stopping where the Little Buffalo joins the Buffalo. Third day we continued another 14 miles, to Mt Hersey. Fourth day, after more rain and a forecast of even cooler temperatures we called the outfitter for our vehicles and drove back to the campground at Kyle's Landing, where we set up camp, and Jaimie left us. Fifth day we hiked Lost Valley to Eden Falls Cave (2.5 miles), and then paddled from Ponca to Kyle's Landing, with another hike at Hemmed-In Hollow (1.5 miles) to see the beautiful water fall at its head. That night more rain visited us, and Christy departed for home at first light. The three of us remaining made another run from Ponca to Kyle's Landing (10.5 miles), then we also started for home.
The fourth and fifth nights we drove to near-by Low Gap Café for a gourmet dining experience. (Highly recommended.)
The Buffalo is one of the most beautiful rivers in the country, with tall bluffs, clear water, good fishing and bird-watching, good campgrounds situated on the banks of the river for easy access by paddlers, and plenty of impromptu campsites all up and down the river. The water is mostly class I and II, well within the capabilities of most paddlers. Everyone should consider making this trip at least once in their life. If you need more convincing, check out our photos.
Individual paddling mileages were: Jaimie: 39.0; Christy: 49.5; John, Kent and Paul: 60.0.
We had a great time, and we're already planning to do it again next year.

Hessler and Price are together again (for the first time) for a Poe adaptation that actually has a little something to do with Poe, or at least as much as any AIP Poe film has to do with Poe. Poe's short story, "The Oblong Box," has to do with a man who witnesses the obsession of an artist friend on a ship with an oblong shipping crate. So committed is the man, seeming delirious and mad, to this box that when the ship is wrecked during a storm, he sinks to the bottom of the ocean with the box rather than abandon it. Not to spoil the surprise, but it was a coffin containing his dead wife, though no one knew of the contents lest they refuse to travel overseas with a corpse. Hessler's film does indeed contain a coffin that is referred to as an oblong box.

How Google researchers used neural networks to make weather forecasts
Ars Technica » Scientific Method 2020-01-14
Enlarge (credit: YakobchukOlena)
A research team at Google has developed a deep neural network that can make fast, detailed rainfall forecasts.
The researchers say their results are a dramatic improvement over previous techniques in two key ways. One is speed. Google says that leading weather forecasting models today take one to three hours to run, making them useless if you want a weather forecast an hour in the future. By contrast, Google says its system can produce results in less than 10 minutes—including the time to collect data from sensors around the United States.
This fast turnaround time reflects one of the key advantages of neural networks. While such networks take a long time to train, it takes much less time and computing power to apply a neural network to new data.

It's Wednesday. How are you celebrating?
- The Real World is shooting in Brooklyn for its 21st season. In case you're counting, this is the 3rd time they'll be in New York. I wrote a post about this for my other blog but let me just say this: Really? Three times in NYC? There's no other place in the worth checking out? In this entire country? Really?
- My favorite chef got voted off Top Chef tonight. I miss his wily antics already.
- In other chef show news, Hell's Kitchen saw its highest ratings ever last night thanks to a lead-in from the Idol final 3. They did a blind taste test last night to test out their palattes. This is a similar to a recent quickfire on Top Chef. The only difference? When the highly trained, near-expert chefs on Bravo were distinguishing between expensive and cheap olive oil, the cooks on Hells Kitchen were just trying to recognize chicken. Not free-range, nothing special. Here's a forkful of something, what is it? Chicken. The best part? The woman got it wrong. Thank heavens the show is entertaining because these people can't cook.
- And finally, this is a fantastic clip from Deal Or No Deal. No skills required on this show…it shows.

MEXICO CITY — Sept. 26 will mark a year since one of the most heinous crimes in modern Mexico, when police officers and drug cartel hit men are believed to have abducted 43 students and killed another six students or passers-by in the town of Iguala. There have been even bigger mass killings by cartels in the past, also involving the security forces who are supposed to be fighting them. But the Iguala attacks caused far more outrage because they targeted students, the police were on the front line, and they were close to the capital.
The images of the missing youths and their distraught families shook Mexican society, provoking hundreds of thousands to take to the streets demanding justice. It became a watershed case, emblematic of the killings and disappearances that have ravaged this nation.
With the world watching, the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto had the chance to prove it could deliver justice for the victims. But rather than becoming an exemplary case, the investigation has shown the deep flaws among Mexico's police force and prosecutors. A report released on Sept. 6 by a group of experts, appointed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, concluded that there had been a slow response, possible torture of suspects, and damage to key evidence and crime scenes. The justice system itself was put on trial — and found guilty.
The vices detailed in the report are typical in Mexico. Torture is widespread, as shown in a recently released video of police officers in Jalisco beating teenage robbery suspects as they questioned them. Corruption in the security forces is rife, as shown by the arrest of prison guards and intelligence agents accused of helping the kingpin Joaquín Guzmán Loera, better known as El Chapo, escape prison through a tunnel with electric lights and air vents. And investigators are often simply incompetent, as shown in the daily mishandling of crime scenes.
The result is a double tragedy of horrendous crimes going unpunished while innocent people rot in jail. Many Mexicans have lost all faith in the justice system. Even before the report, the families of the victims and many journalists refused to believe the official account of what happened to the students.
Many Mexicans have no confidence in anything the government says. When Mr. Guzmán escaped, a survey by the newspaper Reforma found that 54 percent of respondents didn't accept that he had fled through a tunnel as the government had announced; instead, people claimed he had walked out the front door. This breakdown of trust has painful implications. In recent years, thousands of Mexicans have formed vigilante militias to take justice into their own hands. More unrest may well follow.
The Mexican government, with the support of the international community, needs to make a herculean effort to strengthen its justice system and restore some credibility. And this can begin with a renewed effort to deliver justice in the Iguala attacks. Mr. Peña Nieto said he had asked investigators to take into account the findings of the experts' report; now he needs to follow up with concrete action.
The failures in the Iguala investigation leave serious doubts about who exactly was involved, what their motive was, and what happened to the victims. Prosecutors claim that hit men from the Guerreros Unidos cartel burned the students on a bonfire at a garbage dump. The authors of the report argue that the evidence shows such a fire never happened there — and the search needs to continue. The police found the charred remains of two of the students, allegedly in a nearby river, but there has been no sign of the others.
This confusion tears at the students' families; they have no closure. Across Latin America, mothers still search for their children who disappeared in "dirty wars" that governments waged in the 1970s and 1980s. It is chilling that cartel killers, and the corrupt police officers they work with, use this same tactic of disappearing victims today. The gangsters don't just disappear people to hide evidence; it is also a potent form of terror.
Mexican agents have arrested more than 100 people suspected of having taken part in the Iguala attacks, including city police officers, the mayor and his wife, and reputed Guerreros Unidos assassins. Some have confessed. But accusations that they were tortured undermine the cases against them. If some are the killers but are freed because of a bungled prosecution, it would only add to the tragedy. The case needs to be strengthened with solid physical evidence. State and federal forces also need to be more thoroughly questioned about their actions on the night of the abductions.
The Iguala report questions the motives behind this brutal attack. The students, from a nearby teachers' college, had gone to the town to commandeer buses that they wanted to use to travel to a march in Mexico City. The report recommends pursuing the theory that students unwittingly took a bus in which heroin, or its precursor, opium paste, was stashed. The Guerreros Unidos produce heroin to supply the surge in use across the United States.
Prosecutors have also cited an alleged Guerreros Unidos hit man, who said the group (mistakenly) believed the students had been infiltrated by a rival gang. Yet another theory is that the police were trying to stop students from disrupting a public event held by the mayor and his wife, both of whom are believed to have been in league with the cartel.
Whatever drove the killers that night, cartels and corrupt police officers have a track record of disposing of innocent civilians, sometimes for just being in the wrong place. After his son was killed by cartel thugs, the poet Javier Sicilia toured cities across Mexico packed with thousands grieving over their loved ones. According to a government count, cartels and the security forces fighting them killed more than 83,000 people between 2007 and 2014. Some journalists claim it is many more.
The failures in the Iguala investigation have taken a toll on Mr. Peña Nieto, who has fallen to a 35 percent approval rating. He did not invent the problem of cartel bloodshed when he took power in 2012. But, as president, he needs to take responsibility and lead real efforts to fix the justice system during his remaining three years in power.
And when the United States supports Mexico in fighting cartels, it cannot just provide hardware like Black Hawk helicopters. It needs to help Mexico rebuild its institutions from the bottom up.

Famous Queso Dip Recipe that cheesy, gooey dip you love so much presented in a nacho bar!
My oldest son wanted to have a sleep over with this friends. He said, "We're going to stay up all night!"
"Oh, yes, that's what I want too!" (Not.)
I know. I know. He'll be grown soon enough and I'll miss these times. And, to be honest, I really don't mind as long as I get to sleep!
The last time he had a sleepover, they stayed in a tent in the back yard. (That was before our possum saga. I'll save that for another post.) They stayed up and kept me up until after 2:00 a.m. At 5:00 a.m., something woke me slightly. How I was even awake enough to realize it was the sprinklers, I'll never know. I bolted out of bed, sped to the garage and shut the sprinkler system off as fast as I could. I ran to the back door to see if the tent was wet, although I'm pretty sure the boys would have been inside if it would have. Luckily, one sprinkler had missed them by 3 feet. They never even knew it.
Taking care of boys for a sleepover is a breeze. All you really need is good food and a football or baseball. There's no drama, no fighting over the bathroom, no fighting over who's sleeping by who. They just hang.
They're just little men. Food + sport = happy.
But, that means the food is really important. I can handle that. I just want it to be simple, hearty and good.
Nacho bar. Done.
The centerpiece of my Nacho Bar had to be zesty, creamy, yummy, and easy Queso made with RO*TEL and VELVEETA. It's always crowd pleaser. (And, with just two ingredients, it makes me happy too!)
For the Nachos bar. I presented
- Famous Queso Dip Recipe with RO*TEL and VELVEETA
- plenty of chips
- jalapenos
- sour cream
- taco flavored, cooked ground beef
- black beans
- salsa
This is not as much a recipe as a process. The only thing you'll really cook for this spread is that Famous Queso Dip Recipe. I chose this Famous Queso Dip Recipe because 1. the boys can make it themselves and 2. everybody likes it!
Famous Queso Dip Recipe
- 16 ounces VELVEETA
- 1 can RO*TEL
- Cube VELVEETA. This just helps it melt evenly and more quickly.
- Add VELVEETA and entire can of RO*TEL to a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave 3 to 4 minutes, depending on your microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Heat until VELVEETA is melted completely and smooth.
- Serve hot with your favorite chips.

What's happening at Treble Cone?
News, happenings and all the goss.
It is a very uncertain and difficult time for all of us. At Treble Cone and Cardrona we are very realistic about the challenges ahead, but also hopeful that together we can come through this. Here is a message from General Manager Bridget Legnavsky recorded on the 22nd of March.
Yesterday's Interfield GS race presented by Wanaka Ski and Snowsports Club and Night n Day Wanaka saw 90 competitors take a challenging course down Main Street and Big Skite set by Team TC Head Coach Mike Shenkel.
Congratulations to all the winners. All the results are linked below.
This season's Banked Slalom was an epic. A challenging course, great weather, great snow conditions and a rocking atmosphere.

Over twenty competitors took on the 2019 Treble Cone Volkl NZ Ski Masters this past Sunday 17th of August, defying the cloudy conditions to carve down this year's Giant Slalom course.
Despite the poor visibility, racers tore through the gates, with Bonny Teat taking the women's top spot with a time of 52.71 seconds. Men's first place was claimed by Joe Andrews, with a time of 47.83 seconds.
We would like to give a special thanks to all those who worked and volunteered their time to make the 2019 Treble Cone Master's race a success.
Why aren't you grooming as many runs as you did last winter?
It's a question we've been asked a number of time since the last snow storm. And whilst we definitely have more snow now than we did during the school holidays, the fact is that there's still significantly less snow at this point in the season than in an average winter.
So we thought we'd talk you through the situation the grooming team are dealing with.
According to NIWA, this has been New Zealand's 2nd warmest July on record. Warm weather and low precipitation mean that so far this winter we've received a quarter of the snow we had this time last year. It's the lowest snowfall in over 10 years and this very thin snowpack means it's far more difficult than usual to groom areas that we might in an average season.
By this point in the winter we'd expect to have sufficient snow in both the Home and Saddle Basins to allow us to groom trails like Bullet, Camel and Saddleback. Unfortunately, the snow in those areas just isn't sufficiently deep to cover the undulations of the ground below the snow's surface.
This situation is compounded by the warm temperatures, which have contributed to an isothermic snowpack. This means that the snow is uniformly soft from the surface, right through to the ground. Consequently, it's not always possible to run a 12-ton machine over this unless the entire snowpack freezes right through. The sugary consistency of the isothermic snow means we're much more likely to bring rocks and dirt through to the surface, further compromising skiability.
The runs we are currently able to groom regularly are the areas in which we've undertaken earthworks to create a more even surface, such as Raffills Run, Main Street, Pete's Treat and Easy Rider. These can be groomed with a thin snowpack. The terrain under runs such as Bullet, Cloud Nine, Saddleback and Camel remains in its natural state and requires much more snowfall or transportation for us to run a groomer over and not turn over the earth below.
The grooming guys are out every night assessing how best to deliver the best possible product every morning. This means they're harvesting snow from deeper spots and moving it to the places it's needed most.
There's a little more snow in the forecast and as soon as we've accumulated enough depth to pass the grooming machines over more terrain, you can rest assured we'll be out there laying down more cord.
Test the Best
Don't guess. Know. Getting on the right gear has a huge impact on how you'll enjoy the mountain. So take advantage of the Ski Demo's that run every week at Treble Cone. Local stores like Base, Mt Outdoors and Racer's Edge are here every week with leading brands such as Armada, Atomic, Black Crows, Blizzard, Head, Faction, K2, Rossignol, Salomon and Volkl. Check out what works best for you, or just try something new.
Base = Tuesdays
Mt Outdoors = Wednesdays + Sundays
Racer's Edge = Sundays + Mondays.
We're open for skiing and riding. Mild conditions and limited terrain didn't dampen the spirits of the crew who rocked up early on Opening Day 2019! The dedicated had staked their claim to first chair by sunrise and took the glory, along with a delicious lunch from the BBQ. Terrain is limited at present, but there are good turns to be had on Easy Rider and with snow in the forecast, the rest of July is looking good.
New Brands. Fresh Look.
Winter 2019 sees a new look in the Treble Cone Store. We'll be stocking an exciting range of new gear including helmets and goggles from POC; cameras and accessories from GoPro; stylish gear to keep you warm from Mons Royale and Eivy, new TC merchandise and a whole lot more.
The State-Of-The-Art
This winter we've upgraded our grooming fleet with the addition of two new Kassbohrer PistenBully 600 Winch Cats. These state-of-the-art machines are more powerful and more efficient than their predecessors and will allow our grooming team to lay down more pristine cord, every day. With the cleanest engine in its class, the PistenBully 600 is the first snow grooming machine in the world to meet EU Stage V emissions-control requirements. Their ability to groom steep terrain such as Bullet and Cloud Nine means that even when it ain't pow, it'll still be perfect.
Every day through July and August 2019
If you're up early, you can take advantage of our new early opening - First Tracks. We'll be open every day from 0800 to allow early risers to rip fresh corduroy before our regular opening at 0900.

Cards B was threatened by gang members over a social media post and it has L.A. nightclubs preparing for the worst during NBA All-Star Weekend.
The threats came earlier this week after she posted a photo on social media of her in a blue fur coat with the word "flue" instead of blue.
The new feud is causing a lot of stress for the L.A. nightclubs security where she is set to appear for NBA All-Star Weekend.
According to TMZ, Cardi has an exclusive deal to host 3 clubs next weekend, and sources say the security is preparing for the worst.
We're told the clubs — Murano, Penthouse and Ace of Diamonds — are tripling the number of armed security guards they'd normally hire. They've also put off-duty cops on the payroll, who'll be in uniform at the clubs.
The sources also claim the events will go on no matter what.
Our sources say club management held an emergency meeting Wednesday to discuss how to handle the crisis. Canceling was never an option — we're told Cardi's getting around $250k for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday night gigs, and her team hasn't made a peep about pulling out.

Joseph Joachim (1831-1907)
Photo by: www.JosephJoachim.com
Year 1884. Joseph Joachim (1831-1907). Aged 53.
- Profession: Violinist, conductor, composer, teacher.
- Residences: Vienna, Leipzig, London, Weimar.
- Relation to Mahler: Joseph Joachim was a Hungarian violinist, conductor, composer and teacher. A close collaborator of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), he is widely regarded as one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century.
- Correspondence with Mahler:
- Born: 28-06-1831 Köpcsény, Moson County, Kingdom of Hungary (present-day: Kittsee in Burgenland, Austria). Also: Joachim József.
- Married: 10-06-1893 Amalie Joachim (1839-1899)
- Divorce: 1882
- Died: 15-08-1907 Berlin, Germany.
- Buried: 00-00-0000 Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Friedhof, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Germany. Grave: D-G2 Gitter (Ehrengrab). Amalie Joachim (1839-1899) and Joseph Joachim (1831-1907).
Joseph Joachim was born in Köpcsény, Moson County, Kingdom of Hungary (present-day Kittsee in Burgenland, Austria). He was the seventh of eight children born to Julius, a wool merchant, and Fanny Joachim, who were of Hungarian-Jewish origin. His infancy was spent as a member of the Kittsee Kehilla (Jewish community), one of Hungary's prominent Siebengemeinden ('Seven Communities') under the protectorate of the Esterházy family. He was a first cousin of Fanny Wittgenstein, née Figdor, the mother of Karl Wittgenstein (1847-1913) and the grandmother of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) and the pianist Paul Wittgenstein (1887-1961).
Early career
In 1833 his family moved to Pest, which in 1873 was united with Buda and Óbuda to form Budapest. There from 1836 (age 5) he studied violin with the Polish violinist Stanisław Serwaczyński, the concertmaster of the opera in Pest, said to be the best violinist in Pest. Although Joachim's parents were "not particularly well off", they had been well advised to choose not just an "ordinary" violin teacher. Joachim's first public performance was 17 March 1839 when he was of age 7. (Serwaczyński later moved back to Lublin, Poland, where he taught Wieniawski). In 1839, Joachim continued his studies at the Conservatory of Vienna (briefly with Miska Hauser and Joseph Hellmesberger Sr. (1828-1893); finally – and most significantly – with Joseph Böhm, who introduced him to the world of chamber music). In 1843 he was taken by his cousin, Fanny Figdor, who later married "a Leipzig merchant" named Wittgenstein, to live and study in Leipzig. In the journal Neue Zeitschrift fůr Musik Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was highly enthusiastic about Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847), on which Moser writes "Only in Haydn's admiration for Mozart does the history of music know a parallel case of such ungrudging veneration of one great artist for his equal." in 1835, Mendelssohn had become director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra (LGO). In 1843 Joachim became a protégé of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847), who arranged for him to study theory and composition with Moritz Hauptmann and violin with Ferdinand David. In his début performance in the Gewandhaus Joachim played the Otello Fantasy by Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst.
London Philharmonic Debut, Beethoven Violin Concerto
On 27 May 1844 Joachim, not quite 13, in his London debut with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847) conducting at a concert of the Philharmonic Society, played the solo part in Beethoven's violin concerto. This was a triumph in several respects, as described by R. W. Eshbach. The Philharmonic had a policy against performers so young, but an exception was made after auditions persuaded gatherings of distinguished musicians and music lovers that Joachim had mature capabilities. Despite Beethoven's recognition as one of the greatest composers, and the ranking nowadays of his violin concerto as among the greatest few, it was far from being so ranked before Joachim's performance. Ludwig Spohr had harshly criticized it, and after the London premiere by violinist Edward Eliason, a critic had said it "might have been written by any third or fourth rate composer." But Joachim was very well prepared to play Beethoven's concerto, having written his own cadenzas for it and memorized the piece. The audience anticipated great things, having got word from the rehearsal, and so, Mendelssohn wrote, "frenetic applause began" as soon as Joachim stepped in front of the orchestra. The beginning was applauded still more, and "cheers of the audience accompanied every ... part of the concerto." Reviewers also had high praise. One for 'The Musical World' wrote "The greatest violinists hold this concerto in awe ... Young Joachim ... attacked it with the vigour and determination of the most accomplished artist ... no master could have read it better," and the two cadenzas, written by Joachim, were "tremendous feats ... ingeniously composed". Another reviewer, for the 'Illustrated London News', wrote that Joachim "is perhaps the first violin player, not only of his age, but of his siècle". "He performed Beethoven's solitary concerto, which we have heard all the great performers of the last twenty years attempt, and invariably fail in ... its performance was an eloquent vindication of the master-spirit who imagined it." A third reviewer, for the 'Morning Post', wrote that the concerto "has been generally regarded by violin-players as not a proper and effective development of the powers of their instrument" but that Joachim's performance "is beyond all praise, and defies all description" and "was altogether unprecedented." Joachim remained a favorite with the English public for the rest of his career. He visited England in each year 1858, 1859, 1862, and for several decades thereafter.
Beethoven string quartets
Moser writes "After the appearance of the six String Quartets (Op. 18) Beethoven had complete command of the field of chamber-music", although in the later quartets he "makes many exacting demands" of string players. Moser (p. 29) further writes that "at the time of Beethoven's death", such people as Spohr and Hauptmann did not necessarily esteem the late quartets above the earliest ones. Moser, p. 30 writes that in Vienna "the public showed a marked hostility toward" the late quartets. But Joachim's teacher Bohm had an appreciation of the late quartets, which he communicated to Joachim. At the age of 18, "in the whole of Germany" Joachim had no equal, either in the rendering of Bach or in the concertos of Beethoven and Mendelssohn; while as quartet player, "he had no cause to fear rivalry."
Following Mendelssohn's death in 1847, Joachim stayed briefly in Leipzig, teaching at the Conservatorium and playing on the first desk of the Gewandhaus Orchestra with Ferdinand David, whom Mendelssohn had appointed as concertmaster on taking up the conductorship in 1835.
Weimar, Liszt, Hanover
In 1848, the pianist and composer Franz Liszt (1811-1886) took up residence in Weimar, where Goethe and Schiller had lived. Liszt was determined to re-establish the town's reputation as the Athens of Germany. There, he gathered a circle of young avant-garde disciples, vocally opposed to the conservatism of the Leipzig circle. Joachim was amongst the first of these. He served Liszt as concertmaster, and for several years enthusiastically embraced the new "psychological music," as he called it. In 1852 he moved to Hanover, at the same time dissociating himself from the musical ideals of the 'New German School' (Liszt, Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, and their followers, as defined by journalist Franz Brendel). "The worship of Wagner's music permeating musical taste in Weimar was to Joachim inordinate and unacceptable." Joachim's break with Liszt became final in August 1857, when he wrote to his former mentor: "I am completely out of sympathy with your music; it contradicts everything which from early youth I have taken as mental nourishment from the spirit of our great masters." Hanover "was then an independent kingdom, later to be absorbed in the German empire." King Georg of Hanover was totally blind and very fond of music; he paid Joachim a good salary and gave him considerable freedom. Joachim's duties in Hanover included playing the main violin part in opera performances and that or conducting state concerts. He had five summer months off, in which he made concert tours around Europe. In March 1853 he sent to Liszt a copy of the Overture to Hamlet he had recently composed.
The Schumanns, Brahms, Berlin
Also in 1853, a committee headed by Schumann invited Joachim to the Lower Rhine Music Festival. At the Festival, Joachim again soloed in the Beethoven violin concerto. His success made him, it is said, "the most renowned artist of Germany". Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and his wife Clara were deeply impressed, and formed a "close connection" with Joachim. Joachim met the then publicly unknown 20-year-old Brahms, and wrote of him that his playing "shows the intense fire...which predicts the artist" and "his compositions already betoken such power as I have seen in no other musician of his age". Joachim strongly recommended Brahms to Robert. Brahms was received by the Schumanns with great enthusiasm. After Robert's mental breakdown in 1854 and death in 1856, Joachim, Clara, and Brahms remained lifelong friends and shared musical views. Joachim's performing style with the violin, like Clara's at the piano, is said to have been "restrained, pure, antivirtuosic, expressing the music rather than the performer."
In December 1854, Joachim visited Robert at the Endenich asylum where he had been since February, Joachim being his first visitor. Early on, Brahms already played and composed for the piano, which "he had mastered in a supreme fashion", but he felt deficient in orchestration. In 1854 he began composing what was to become his first piano concerto, his first orchestral piece. He sent a score of the first movement to Joachim, requesting his advice. After getting Joachim's response, Brahms wrote to him "A thousand thanks for having studied the first movement in such a sympathetic and careful manner. I have learned a great deal from your remarks. As a musician I really have no greater wish than to have more talent so that I can learn still more from such a friend." Later in the composition of the concerto, which took four years, Brahms wrote to Joachim "I am sending you the rondo once more. And just like the last time, I beg for some really severe criticism." The final manuscript of the concerto "shows many alterations in the handwriting of Joachim".

Joachim's time in Hanover was his most prolific period of composition. Then and during the rest of his career, he frequently performed with Clara Schumann. For example, in October–November 1857 they took a recital tour together to Dresden, Leipzig, and Munich. St. James's Hall, London, which opened in 1858, hosted a series of "Popular Concerts" of chamber music, of which programmes from 1867 through 1904 are preserved. Joachim appears a great many times. He visited London each year from 1866 on. In March 1898 and in 1901-1904 Joachim appeared in his own quartet of players, but otherwise far more often he appeared with resident Popular Concerts artists Louis Ries, second violin, J. B. Zerbini, first viola, and Alfredo Piatti, first cello, reputed to be "one of the most celebrated cellists" of the time. George Bernard Shaw wrote that the Popular Concerts had helped greatly to spread and enlighten musical taste in England. Joachim had been a mainstay of the chamber music Popular Concerts.
At 18 of the Popular Concerts at least, Clara Schumann performed along with Joachim, Zerbini and Piatti, presumably playing piano quartets (without second violin), or sometimes piano trios (for piano, violin, and cello). (The programs of those concerts very likely also included string quartets in which she of course did not play, as Ries is also listed.) A favorite piece of Clara's was Brahms's Piano Quartet in A major. She wrote to Brahms 27 February 1882 from London that the piece had received "much applause". About a performance of it in Liverpool 11 February she had written in her diary that it was "warmly received, much to my surprise as the public here is far less receptive than that in London." In January 1867 there had been a tour to Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, by Joachim, Clara, her oldest daughter Marie, Ries, Zerbini, Piatti, two English sisters "Miss Pyne," one a singer, and a Mr. Saunders who managed all the arrangements. Marie Schumann wrote home from Manchester that in Edinburgh Clara "was received with tempestuous applause and had to give an encore, so had Joachim. Piatti, too, is always tremendously liked."
Joachim had extensive correspondence with both Clara and Brahms, as Brahms greatly valued Joachim's opinion of his new compositions. In 1860 Brahms and Joachim jointly wrote a manifesto against the "progressive" music of the 'New German' School, in reaction to the polemics of Brendel's Neue Zeitschrift für Musik. This manifesto, a volley in the War of the Romantics, had originally few (four signers (more later) and met with a mixed reception, being heavily derided by followers of Wagner.
On 10 May 1863 Joachim married the contralto Amalie Schneeweiss (stage name: Amalie Weiss) (1839-1899). Amalie gave up her own promising career as an opera singer and gave birth to six children. She continued to perform in oratorios and to give lieder recitals. In 1865 Joachim quit the service of the King of Hanover in protest, when the Intendant (artistic director) of the Opera refused to advance one of the orchestral players (Jakob Grün) because of the latter's Jewish birth. In 1866, as a result of the Austro-Prussian war, in which Prussia and its capital Berlin became the dominant German state and city, Joachim moved to Berlin, where he was invited to help found, and to become the first director of, a new department of the Royal Academy of Music, concerned with musical performance and called the Hochschule für ausübende Tonkunst.
On Good Friday, 10 April 1868, Joachim and his wife joined their friend, Johannes Brahms, in the celebration of one of Brahms' greatest triumphs, the first complete performance of his German Requiem at the Bremen Cathedral. Amalie Joachim sang "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth" and Joseph Joachim played Robert Schumann's Abendlied. It was a glorious occasion, after which about 100 of the composer's friends, the Joachims, Clara Schumann, Albert Dietrich and his wife, Max Bruch and others gathered at the Bremen Rathskeller.
In 1869, the Joachim String Quartet was formed, which quickly gained a reputation as Europe's finest. It continued to perform until Joachim's death in 1907. Other members of the Quartet were, Karel Halíř (2nd violin) from 1897 on; Emanuel Wirth (viola) from 1877 on; and Robert Hausmann (cello), from 1879 on. In 1878 while writing his violin concerto, Brahms consulted Joachim, who "freely gave him encouragement and technical advice". Brahms asked Joachim to write the cadenza for the concerto, as he did.
In 1884, Joachim and his wife separated after he became convinced that she was having an affair with the publisher Fritz Simrock. Brahms, certain that Joachim's suspicions were groundless, wrote a sympathetic letter to Amalie, which she later produced as evidence in Joachim's divorce proceeding against her. This led to a cooling of Brahms' and Joachim's friendship, which was not restored until some years later, when Brahms composed the Double Concerto in A minor for violin and cello, Op. 102, 1887, as a peace offering to his old friend. It was co-dedicated to the first performers, Joachim and Robert Hausmann.
In late 1895 both Brahms and Joachim were present at the opening of the new Tonhalle at Zürich, Switzerland; Brahms conducted and Joachim was assistant conductor. But in April, two years later, Joachim was to lose forever this revered friend, as Johannes Brahms died at the age of 64 at Vienna. At Meiningen, in December 1899, it was Joachim who made the speech when a statue to Brahms was unveiled.
Honors and Jubilees
- In March 1877, Joachim received an honorary Doctorate of Music from Cambridge University. For the occasion he presented his Overture in honor of Kleist, Op. 13. Near the 50th anniversary of Joachim's debut recital, he was honored by "friends and admirers in England" on 16 April 1889 who presented him with "an exceptionally fine" violin made in 1715 by Antonio Stradivari, called "Il Cremonese". About ten years later, for the sixtieth jubilee, a concert in honor of Joachim was given by his former students of violin and viola playing and cellists who had studied quartet playing with him, on 22 April 1899. The total of some 140 string players was impressive, as were their instruments (made by Stradivari, Guarneri, Bergonzi, Amati, etc.). An honor such as that concert "had been accorded to no other musician during his lifetime".
- During 1899, Joachim was invited to become president of the newly established Oxford & Cambridge Musical Club in London. He remained club president until his death.
- In Berlin, on 17 August 1903, Joachim recorded five sides for The Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd (G&T), which remain a fascinating and valuable source of information about 19th-century styles of violin playing. He is the earliest violinist of distinction known to have recorded, only to be followed soon thereafter when Sarasate made some recordings the following year.
- Joachim's portrait was twice painted by Philip de László. A portrait of Joachim was painted by John Singer Sargent and presented to him at the 1904 "Diamond Jubilee" celebration of his sixtieth anniversary of his first appearance in London. Joachim remained in Berlin until his death in 1907.
- At his 75th birthday observance in June 1906, Joachim said 'The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most uncompromising is Beethoven's. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch. But the most inward, the heart's jewel, is Mendelssohn's.'
- Bruch wrote three violin concertos. Joachim was presumably referring to his Concerto No. 1, which is the most well-known and frequently performed. Joachim had assisted Bruch in revising that concerto.
Among the most notable of Joachim's achievements were his revival of Beethoven's violin concerto already mentioned, the revival of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, BWV 1001–1006, especially the Chaconne from the Partita No. 2, BWV 1004, and of Beethoven's late string quartets. Joachim was the second violinist, after Ferdinand David, to play Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, which he studied with the composer. Joachim played a pivotal role in the career of Brahms, and remained a tireless advocate of Brahms's compositions through all the vicissitudes of their friendship. He conducted the English premiere of Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor at Cambridge on 8 March 1877, on the same day that he received a D. Mus. degree there (Brahms had declined an invitation to go to England himself).
A number of Joachim's composer colleagues, including Schumann, Brahms, Bruch, and Dvořák, composed concerti with Joachim in mind, many of which entered the standard repertory. Nevertheless, Joachim's solo repertoire remained relatively restricted. He never performed Schumann's Violin Concerto in D minor, which Schumann wrote especially for him, or Dvořák's Violin Concerto in A minor, although Dvořák had earnestly solicited his advice about the piece, dedicated it to him, and would have liked him to premiere it. The most unusual work written for Joachim was the F-A-E Sonata, a collaboration between Schumann, Brahms, and Albert Dietrich, based upon the initials of Joachim's motto, Frei aber Einsam (which can be translated as "free but lonely", "free but alone", or "free but solitary"). Although the sonata is rarely performed in its entirety, the third movement, the Scherzo in C minor, composed by Brahms, is still frequently played today.
Joachim's instruments
Most, but not all, of the many violins (and two violas) Joachim is said to have had during his career are shown on the website of Tarisio Auctions, cozio.com. Further information, in German, is in an article by Kamlah (2013).
- His first (full-size) violin was a Guarneri Filius Andreae 1703, which he gave to Felix Schumann after he acquired his first Stradivarius.
- A violin, the ex-Joachim Stradivarius of 1715 is currently held by the Collezione Civica del Comune di Cremona. It was presented to Joachim on the occasion of his Jubilee celebration in 1889.
- The Ex Joachim, Joseph Vieland Viola by Gasparo da Salò, Brescia, before 1609 is held by the Shrine to Music No. 3368.
- A Johannes Theodorus Cuypers anno 1807 was bought by Joachim in the mid 19th century and taken on tour throughout Europe. There is also evidence that the instrument was played by Joachim in a recital in Paris a half century later, in 1895. The same instrument was also played by Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) in a 1955 Carnegie Hall concert.

Dr. Ali Davoudpour | Dr. Kristofer Succo
There are some dental situations that require urgent attention in order to prevent the problem from becoming worse. If you are experiencing a dental emergency in Thunder Bay, then it's time to get in touch with a professional. At Intercity Dental Centre, we can provide dental care for a variety of emergency situations. Our team will work quickly to get your problem solved and prevent any further damage or injury. Contact us as soon as possible if you are in need of emergency dental care. We can be of service during all of the following dental emergencies:
An aching tooth is a very common dental emergency. A toothache is often a sign of infection in or around a tooth. Advil can sometimes be effective in comforting pain. Treating the tooth in a timely fashion may reduce the complications and problems that may arise from the dental problem. Call the office to schedule an appointment at the first available time in office.
A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency that requires urgent attention. If the appropriate emergency steps are followed immediately after the tooth has been knocked out, the chances are very good that the tooth can be reinserted and preserved.
A tooth abscess may form if there is tooth decay. It may also occur when a tooth is broken, chipped, or injured in other ways. Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect the center of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may spread from the root of the tooth to the bones supporting the tooth.
Infection results in a buildup of pus and tissue swelling within the tooth. This causes a toothache. The toothache may stop if pressure is relieved. But the infection can remain active and continue to spread. This can cause more pain and can destroy tissue. It needs immediate attention to prevent further damage.
Restorations or fillings all have a breaking point and will eventually fail and need replacement. No filling will last forever, and regular visits to the dentist will help determine when is the best time to be proactive and replace a restoration. However, a filling may fall out unexpectedly, and you may be faced with pain, discomfort, and a possible emergency situation. When left untreated, a lost or chipped filling could lead to a root canal and possible loss of the tooth.

I saw a recipe for Hoisin Sriracha Chicken and thought "this looks lovely, I'll make it tonight". Sadly we were out of Sriracha sauce but did have ancho chili paste. So I used that instead.
And thus Ancho Chili and Hoisin Chicken was born. The spicy and vibrant ancho chili paste paired perfectly with hoisin flavours. The dish was completed with a tasty side of peppers stir fried in toasted sesame oil with a little pineapple juice.

If you have a mobile phone you cherish, even though it may be a few years old and want to continue to use it, you can now choose SIM only deals as mobile plan.
The most common way to obtain a phone is to choose a long contract that also comes with a mobile phone. This can be an expensive way to buy or renew your phone with mobile phone contract deals, if you already love the phone that you have, but still want to continue to retain it.
For this kind of scenario, SIM only deals are your best option as you are only buying a SIM with a tariff from the mobile operator.
In this post we will provide some of the best reasons to choose SIM only deals which have some good benefits.
1. Flexibility with SIM only deals
SIM only deals provide greater flexibility as you are not tied to a long contract. From yourmob.co.uk you can get deals for just 30 days on a rolling contract. There are also deals for a longer contract of 12 months with more benefits such as promotional offers from the networks. UK operator Three with 3 SIM only deals are offered in both 30 days and 12 months deals. As the monthly contracts are shorter, you are able to change or cancel with a short notice period.
2. Cheaper than a contract mobile phone
As you are not paying for a contract hands set which is subsidised by the network SIM only deals are far cheaper for the same amount of minutes, data and texts.
For more savings choosing the 12 months SIM only deals as you can save even more and get extra in the tariff like more minutes or data.
3. Negotiate with your network
Many mobile phone customers have managed to make extra saving by calling up their network and getting a much better deal. Sometimes saying you want to cancel or switch to another provider is enough for the network to offer you a much better deal. Vodafone are know for getting a better SIM card deal.
4. Keep your mobile number
This may not seem that important at first but is essential if you don't want the hassle of informing all your contacts to update to a new number. You can ask your current provider for PAC code which you can then use to keep your number on the new SIM only plan.
5. More convenient than PAYG
Pay as you go has its benefits but does have some major cons. If you find that you have run out of credit you would have to top up each time before you can use the service. You also get less value when compared to SIM only.

Review: "The Shore" by Sara Taylor
Sara Taylor's debut novel The Shore shares a lot in common with David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, a book that is namedropped on one of the blurbs on the back of the book. It is a multi-generational, semi spiritual kind of epic based around one community on the shores of New England. I find Cloud Atlas, personally, to be a literary stunt with no real emotional merit. And I am disappointed to say that this novel is even below that, presenting a boring set of circumstances with flimsy characters and writing that really shows the writer's faults and lack of experience. Taylor does get an A for ambition, with her attempt to pack as much mythology, ideas and tropes into the slim 303 page length, but then again, that really just adds to this books many, many faults, which made for an, I hate to say this about anything, an excruciating reading experience. The novel really focuses on the lives of people living on a group of islands just outside of the Chesapeake Bay area near Virginia. The novel shifts time periods quite frequently, going as far back as the 1800's and going as far as 100 plus years into the future, in a scene that steals an alarming amount from a very similar section in Cloud Atlas. But it mainly focuses on a family throughout the mid half of the twentieth century, in which two of the sisters have the most fascinating section in the beginning, which is kind of quality murder investigation, even if the twist can be seen from miles away. Sadly, none of the other sections fare any better, even with the inclusion of a rape scene, that will you emotionally empty instead of repulsed. I don't want to count Taylor out as a writer, but this book doesn't leave the reader with a very good impression.

Brazil's chicken meat exports to Arab countries reached to $1.635 billion from January to August 2019, up 16.3 percent from a year ago, according to the latest figures released by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce,ABCC.
The ABCC indicated that the top five Arab destinations for Brazilian poultry during the first eight months were Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, and Oman.
The Saudi Arabia bought shipments amounting to $555.33 million, while UAE imported chicken meat worth $399.51 million. Kuwait came third with imports worth $115.38 million.
Rubens Hannun, President of ABCC, said: "The latest figures released by the Brazilian Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services reflect exceptional export performance from Brazilian companies and demonstrates the strong ties from both parties to nurture trade relations between Brazil and the Arab countries."
Hannun continued: "We are confident that the numbers during the remainder of the year will steadily grow on account of the robust economic and trade ties between Brazil and the Arab world. We at ABCC will continue to remain steadfast in our commitment to facilitate and introduce new trading opportunities to sustain the upward trajectory in their trade activities."
"We expect to witness stronger trade partnership between the South American country and Arab region next year as we, at ABCC, remain steadfast in our commitment to facilitate and introduce new trading opportunities to sustain the existing significant market growth," he concluded.

Commercial painting and residential painting in Southern California may not seem all that different at first glance. But upon closer inspection, there are important distinctions, especially in terms of services provided.
So what are the differences between commercial and residential painters?
- As you may already know, residential painting companies primarily service homes and other living spaces. Commercial painters generally service businesses and industrial environments. There are companies that accomplish both types as well.
- Commercial painting projects are often larger and more complex than residential projects. Commercial painting contractors typically complete larger painting jobs on a more demanding schedule and are able to work around the specific needs of your business.
- Painters in the commercial painting field often have a broad spectrum of supplies. For example, your business might require more durable paints to withstand industrial-strength wear and tear or coatings specially made to line water tanks.
- Commercial painting contractors usually offer different services than residential painting contractors. They might provide industrial painting and coating, surface preparation, metalizing, epoxy coatings and various other services related to businesses.
If you are looking for a commercial and industrial painting contractor serving Central and Southern California, Cor-Ray Painting Company has experience with painting and coating systems, fireproofing, surface preparation, lead abatement, epoxy coatings and more. Cor-Ray has completed many commercial projects and is well-versed in the needs of such environments. They recently completed a blasting and metalizing project for the San Diego Library.

AIG – Bah Humbug!
GM – Ford & Chrysler – Bah Humbug!
Banks – Bah Humbug!
It seems everyone today is in search of a bailout. Everyone is asking, but the people who really need it -people – everyday, hardworking people like you and me are not! Yes, there is something wrong with this picture.
Yes, I agree there are many industries that are hurting, but the bailout money cannot go very far if everyone keeps putting their hands in the cookie jar. Especially when everyone wants to get their piece of the cookie and then not have any regulation or oversight as to what happens with the money once they have it, like AIG. A company that has hidden where the money is really being spent on lavish outings and retreats, all at the taxpayers expense. How far are they willing to go in paying out bonuses this year for high level executives? I sincerely do not believe they are going to come clean and be open about where the money is really going.
It is a shame…..I mean it, a real shame that it has come to this. But, here we are and what we need to do is decide what we are going to do next about the situation. What's next? Who is next?
The "Big Three" automobile manuafacturers have all been in Washington with their hands out begging for a bailout, but not one of the companies have a plan to make any changes with their companies to get back on the right track or to get financially stable. It is not that anyone wants the automobile industry to crumble in America, nor do we want to have any ancillary businesses and suppliers to go bankrupt, but at some point, until the automobile industry get's it, there will be a continual spiral downward. But, if a bailout of any kind is to be given there must be changes. Big changes with oversight on every dollar spent so that the taxpayers do not take another bath without any benefit like we have been doing.
Spend some time contacting your elected official to add some voice to this situation. Yes, many companies are in trouble, but if you want a handout there has to be some oversight and not just a free ride for failing miserably in their responsibility of fiscal financial obligations.
Speak out! Please!

Alvin Campbell lives on
Alvin Campbell said his property is adjacent to this property and he's concerned about additional water run off and drainage when this property is developed. He already has a problem with excess water run off from both this hill and his neighbors when there's a lot of rain.
Rod Figg interjected that as of right now the owner is not planning to change or develop anything, they are just subdividing the parcel so it can be sold to a gentleman.

Strut your Stuff with the Peacocks at Mayfield Park Austin, TX
September 2017
Hiding in plain sight in the heart of Austin is a photographer's dream. Mayfield Park (3505 W. 35th Street), on the National Register of Historic Places, boasts a historic cottage and two acres of cottage gardens. The Mayfield Preserve surrounds the park with 21 acres of walking trails and wildlife habitats. Just be sure to leave the dog at home. No pets allowed in the park or preserve.
If you have a green thumb you can Adopt a Garden in the park. For a small fee, which goes toward supporting the beauty surrounding you, you will have your name plate in your garden. You will be expected to plant flowers (from the approved list), maintain the plot, and try to introduce heirloom varieties of plants to your adopted area.
There is even an implement shed for your use as you work on your plot.
Getting married? Mayfield Park is an ideal and affordable spot for an indoor or outdoor wedding.
The peacocks are a big draw. These beautiful birds call Mayfield Park their home. You'll find yourself enjoying peacock watching as much as people watching.
We are impressed when a peacock fans his plumage, but what we think doesn't matter a whit to him. He is looking for a date for Saturday night. Is the female he is trying to impress paying attention?
Darwin, himself, was concerned about those cumbersome, but beautiful, tail feathers. Evolution just didn't seem to favor a creature burdened with such a heavy back end. After much study, the great man determined that it was Mr. Peacock's very tail feathers determining the continuation of the species. Apparently, Ms. Peahen finds those feathers and his eye spots very hot, indeed.
The entrance and cottage garden part of the park is wheelchair and stroller accessible, but the trails in the Preserve are not. They involve a bit of climbing, avoiding roots and rocks, and the like.
What are you waiting for? Head out to beautiful Mayfield Park and Preserve. Get some exercise or just find a peaceful spot to relax.
