The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
by Christy Kienast-The Quill
The 13th Annual Fred Gibb Car show kicked the weekend off to a great start last Saturday morning, August 6th.
There were over 15, display only, cars and trucks and around 300 judged cars. The show was a great success.
There were many special additions to this year's car show, including 44 classes to enter your car into, with some cars coming from as far away as Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Pennsylvania just to name a few.
The opening ceremony began at 10:00 a.m. with prayer by Pastor Bruce Goettsche and the raising of the flags by the La Harpe Boy Scout Pack 138 and the Illinois National Guard Military Funeral Honor Corp. Melissa Burt sang the National Anthem.
This year's show was special for the car show family as it raised money to help one of its own. Jamie (Jackson) Shuda was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2011. The car show family all wore pink and green shirts for this year's events.
These 11 colored shirts, donated by Outlaw Tees of Nauvoo, were auctioned off, including the shirt right off of our own Mayor Ken Browns' back. This special green shirt sold for $350.00.
In this effort, the group raised over $2000 for the Jamie Shuda Benefit.
Face painting was done by Carissa and Max Richardson, Bailey Brown, and Jordan Thomas and raised $50.00 for the Jamie Shuda Benefit as well.
Mike Boyd of Vettes for Vets donated $250.00 of their sales from the car show to the Great River Honor Flights. Glen Boyd of La Harpe went on an Honor Flight on June 23rd to Washington, DC and told the crowd about his experiences on this trip. Boyd says " It could make tears come to your eyes to be a part of that!"
The Fred Gibb Car Show gave $1000.00 to the Great River Honor Flights as well.
The winner of the 427 anniversary edition motor donated by Shottenkirk of Fort Madison, Iowa was
Nate Butler of La Harpe. The staff was also able to give $1500 to the Fred Gibb Scholarship fund.
For the first time, the #2 Fred Gibb ZL-1 was there, together with the #1 since the delivery at the Gibb dealership. Mike and Peggy Flash brought the #2 all the way from Texas.
If you didn't come to the car show, you missed out on the great food as well. The Hancock County Republican Women served pie, ice cream, baby elephant ears and sweet rolls.
Girl Scout troops 5051 and 5049 started out the morning well for all spectators and staff with biscuits and gravy. The La Harpe Golden Rule Club served ribeye sandwiches and butterfly porkchops.
Girl Scout Troop 5279 rounded out the day with polish sausage, saurkraut, maidrites, walking tacos and other delectables.
Also for a tasty snack, if all the wonderful food wasn't enough, Hillbilly Kettle corn owners Gary Grisham and Peggy Spiker were there selling their delicious kettle corn.
The La Harpe Ambulance volunteers were selling raffle tickets for several prizes and the La Harpe fire department was there with an air conditioned tent for patrons to get out of the heat.
Be sure to keep Saturday August 4th of 2012 open for the 14th Annual Fred Gibb Car show.

By Behrooz - Dr Bod - Behbod MB ChB
Medical Doctor & Life Coach
Please consult your licensed physician / GP prior to taking any of the advice mentioned here.
Affecting 30 - 40% of menstruating women, PMS plays a considerable part in ladies' emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing, whilst potentially aggravating relationships, increasing time taken off work and getting in the way of doing the things you enjoy! Common symptoms include fatigue, lethargy, depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, oedema, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal bloating, breast pain, altered libido, uterine cramps, headache, backache, and acne, all occurring seven to fourteen days before menstruation.
Considering the potential side-effects of the anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs increasingly prescribed for suppressing PMS-associated symptoms, it's extremely worthwhile to identify and treat the multi-factorial causes. They include excess oestrogen, progesterone deficiency, elevated prolactin levels, hypothyroidism, stress, adrenal dysfunction, depression and nutritional imbalances. PMS can easily be prevented and treated through cost-effective nutritional, exercise, lifestyle and behavioural approaches, which have the added anti-aging benefits of enhancing health and vitality, whilst preventing many degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke and heart disease.
So what can you do?
1. Nutrition:
a. Increase intake of fibre-rich plant foods, such as fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds;
b. Reduce or eliminate the amount of dairy and animal products - instead of fatty meats, eat fish, skinless poultry and lean cuts;
c. Eliminate sugar intake - watch out for hidden sugars, so read food labels carefully (avoid sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, corn syrup, and white grape juice concentrate);
d. Reduce environmental oestrogens - including toxic pesticides and herbicides sprayed on foods, which are stored in fat cells when ingested and mimic oestrogen in the body - there is a growing epidemic of oestrogen-related diseases, such as PMS, breast cancer, and low sperm counts in men;
e. Increase intake of soy foods - contain phytoestrogens, which have a balancing effect on oestrogen levels - when high, they bind to oestrogen receptors and exert a fraction of the effect of regular oestrogen - whereas when levels are low, as in menopausal women, they will cause an increase in the oestrogen effect;
f. Eliminate caffeine intake - found in tea (and green tea), coffee, carbonated drinks (e.g. Coke & Pepsi), energy drinks such as Red Bull, chocolate, and caffeine-containing "fat-burner" supplements;
g. Reduce salt intake - keep your total daily sodium intake below 2000mg, but increase the intake of high-potassium foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and beans - not only will this help reduce water retention, it will also help in maintaining a healthy blood pressure, and reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, kidney disease and even blindness;
h. Take a high-quality multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement every day, ensuring they provide adequate levels of vitamin B6 (50mg/day), magnesium (6mg per kilogram bodyweight per day), calcium (1000mg/day - preferable spaced out as 500mg taken twice daily), zinc (15mg/day), vitamin E (400IU / day and vitamin C (1000mg/day) ;
i. Take one tablespoon of flaxseed oil daily to provide adequate levels of the essential fatty acids;
j. Take a daily probiotic supplement, but watch out for the high sugar and dairy content of commercial products typically found in supermarkets;
k. Herbal remedies include Dong quai (Angelica sinensis), liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), and chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus);
l. Enhance liver detoxification by taking lipotropic factors, such as choline, methionine, betan, folic acid, and vitamin B12. These factors increase the removal of fat and bile by the liver. A daily dose of 1000mg of choline and 500mg of methionine may be required to exhibit a lipotropic effect;
m. Milk thistle supplementation is also a great way of improving liver detoxification;
n. Drink 2 to 3 litres of clean, filtered water every day;
o. Stop smoking;
p. Consult a nutritionally-orientated doctor to identify food allergies that you must avoid.
2. Exercise - there have been a number of studies that have shown physical exercise, particularly aerobic (e.g. walking, jogging, swimming, dancing, etc…), to reduce or eliminate PMS-associated symptoms. The cheapest and possibly most effective way to improve fitness, treat PMS and prevent many chronic diseases is to simply walk every day. A useful investment would be to buy a pedometer and ensure you walk 10,000 - 15,000 steps per day. Please consult your doctor prior to starting any new exercise and diet program, and begin slowly and increase the intensity of exercise gradually.
3. Behaviour & Psychology - our 'modern' hectic lives can play havoc with our body's hormones and immune system, and so stress management and relaxation are crucial. It is important to learn how to effectively deal with stress, as most women with PMS tend to develop negative coping strategies such as overeating, overspending, smoking, alcohol, and drugs. By consulting a Life Coach or Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, you can identify your negative coping strategies, and plan positive and health-promoting responses to stress.
Benign cysts, also referred to as cystic mastitis, are usually a component of PMS, and as such the above preventive / therapeutic measures are highly effective. FBD is considered a risk factor for breast cancer. It is vital that all women practice regular monthly breast self-examinations. To learn how, or if you notice a lump or worrying symptom affecting your breasts, you must consult your licensed physician. Though the advice given above for PMS can also help prevent or reduce the risk of developing breast cancer, this issue will be dealt with in May's article on CANCER.
Infection and inflammation of the vaginal tract is an extremely common problem affecting the majority of young and especially sexually-active females. Vaginitis causes physical and often embarrassing symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, frequently with a foul odour or abnormal colour, together with vaginal itching and burning, painful intercourse and urination. It is extremely important to seek immediate medical care, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Left alone, the infection may travel up the vagina and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which may cause infertility and chronic pain. Vaginitis may also be a symptom of an underlying disease, such as a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or inflammation of the cervix.
The most common causes include infection with Candida albicans (thrush), Trichomonas vaginalis, or Gardnerella vaginalis, but vaginitis can also be caused by the organisms Neisseria gonorrhea, Herpes simplex, and Chlamydia trachomatis. It is advised that acute infections are treated with conventional antibiotics, but for more chronic, recurrent cases, it is worthwhile using an integrative medical approach, and better yet, preventing vaginitis in the first place! The goals are to identify and eliminate aggravating or causative factors, improve the vaginal and entire body's immune system, whilst establishing well-balanced 'friendly' bacterial flora.
So what can you do?
1. Nutrition:
a. Foods and drinks that aggravate the situation are best avoided during treatment of acute infections, and reduced for preventive measures. These include:
i. Sugar - anything sweet!
ii. Dairy products - milk, chocolate, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, etc…
iii. Alcoholic beverages and other fermented products such as vinegar, pickles, and mayonnaise
iv. Dried fruits
v. Nuts removed from their shell
vi. Yeast & mushrooms
vii. All the foods you are allergic to;
b. Instead, eat whole fresh foods, especially vegetables;
c. Take a high quality multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement every day, ensuring it includes 1000mg vitamin C, 15mg zinc picolinate and 400IU vitamin E;
d. Drink 2 to 3 litres of clean, filtered water every day;
e. Take a daily probiotic supplement, but watch out for the high sugar and dairy content of commercial products typically found in supermarkets - take approximately one to two billion live Lactobacillus sp. organisms per day orally.
f. During infection,
i. Increase vitamin C dose to 1000mg three times per day (but do not take the last dose later than 4pm, as it may cause insomnia)
ii. Increase zinc picolinate to 30mg once per day
iii. Goldenseal tincture - 20-60 drops every 2 - 4 hours or 2 capsules three to four times per day
iv. Add one clove of garlic to food after your food has been cooked and prepared, taking one clove per day for a total of five days.
2. Topical Treatments that can be used during active infection:
Do not try all these at once. Start with one and add another or substitute if symptoms do not improve. Always seek the care and supervision of your licensed physician.
a. Garlic - place one clove of skinned garlic and rap it within a sterile gauze, inserting it into the vagina in the morning and remove it in the evening, repeating this with a fresh clove of garlic and gauze for five days. Alternatively this can be done overnight for six days. Ensure a sterile gauze is used, since garlic can irritate and burn the mucosal membranes within the vagina;
b. Tea tree oil used topically for symptomatic relief;
c. Boric acid, 600mg capsules inserted into the vagina once - twice daily for upto two weeks;
d. Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus douches - choose either a good quality supplement or a live, active-culture yoghurt. Dissolve enough in 10ml water to provide one billion organisms, then douche the solution into the vagina using a syringe - once daily for five days;
e. Gentian violet - swab externally one to two times daily if desired, though this can be messy and stain clothes, and sensitivity reactions are common.
3. Other Preventive Measures:
a. Avoid tight clothing, keeping the vaginal area dry;
b. Wear cotton underwear;
c. Practice safe, hygienic sex;
d. During active infections, avoid sexual activity altogether - at the very least, use condoms;
e. Regular daily exercise (gentle aerobic, e.g. walking or swimming, since intensive training suppresses the immune system which must be rebalanced with healthy nutrition and anti-oxidant supplementation), yoga, relaxation, meditation, spirituality and effective stress management help strengthen the immune system.
Most women do not have symptoms and are unaware they have uterine fibroids until they are noted on a routine pelvic examination by their GP or gynaecologist. Symptoms depend on the type and location of the fibroid, and include heavy, prolonged, irregular and painful bleeding during the menstrual cycle, pelvic pressure and pain, a sense of fullness in the abdomen, rectum or lower back, urinary frequency, constipation, and even reproductive complications including infertility, premature labour, or placental abruption (the fibroid causing bleeding and detachment of the placenta).
The cause(s) of uterine fibroids is still unclear. Potential factors include:
" Genetic predisposition;
" Excessive unopposed oestrogen, or raised oestrogen: progesterone ratio:
o Early (ages 13 to 16) exposure to oral contraceptives - however, both pregnancy and oral contraceptive use have been associated with a lower risk of developing fibroids;
o Early onset of menstruation (menarche);
o Late onset of menopause;
o Symptoms are usually relieved at menopause, but continue in those taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT);
o High body mass index & obesity;
" High blood pressure;
" Pelvic inflammatory disease;
" Use of contraceptive intra-uterine coil devices that become infected;
" Use of talc around the vagina.
Conventional treatments include surgery and hormonal medications. Gene therapy may prove effective in the future.
So what can you do?
Though very little clinical research exists, preventive measures can include:
1. All those mentioned for PMS since they will help balance oestrogen levels, enhance detoxification and digestion, and reduce body fat and high blood pressure;
2. In order to reduce the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, follow the advice given for preventing vaginitis and thrush;
3. Avoid prolonged use of talc powder around the vagina and perineum;
4. An interesting behavioural or mind-body-spirit approach that is used by many physicians is to encourage women to work with the meaning of the fibroid in their lives and consider the possible stagnation of energy 'stuck' in the uterus. In the book The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing during the Change, the author (Northrup) suggests that fibroids be considered a symptom a woman sends to herself in an unconscious effort to signal an emotional blockage. Fibroids emerge in an energetic pattern of stagnation of energy. A recent pilot study incorporated the use of visualisation, imagery, meditation, self-hypnosis, yoga and relaxation techniques, together with other nutritional and complementary approaches to show reduction or stabilisation of growth of fibroids. It is worthwhile learning these techniques and other ways of effectively managing stress in order to help prevent not only fibroids, but also a wide variety of chronic, degenerative diseases.
Also known as the climacteric, this is the time in a woman's life when the ovaries cease to produce an egg cell, menstruation stops and the woman is no longer able to bear children. Menopause is said to have occurred when there have been no menstrual bleeds for twelve consecutive months, and can occur at any age, typically between the thirties and fifties. Although the menopause is unpreventable, and is indeed a natural progression in the woman's life, there are many associated symptoms and conditions which can be avoided.
It is interesting to note the difference in symptoms in menopausal women of different cultures. For example, rural Mayan Indians have very few, if any symptoms such as hot flushes or suffer from osteoporosis. This may be due to a combination of reasons, including their diet and lifestyle, as well as their positive outlook on menopause as a stage to look forward to, receiving greater acceptance as respected elders. Whereas in the West, with our 'modern' hectic lifestyles, packed with stress, fast food, and lack of exercise, together with the negative outlook on menopause, we witness far greater symptoms and complications.
Symptoms can include hot flushes, headaches, vaginal dryness and thinning (leading to painful intercourse), frequent urinary tract infections, cold hands and feet, forgetfulness, and an inability to concentrate. There is also an increased risk of developing certain diseases, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. The conventional approach tends to involve hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which has provided great but temporary relief. HRT does have side effects and poses an increased risk of developing gallstones, blood clots (e.g. causing heart attacks, strokes), and cancer (e.g. endometrial and breast). Whether you choose to take HRT or not, and until the day medications become more selective with reduced side effects and risks, it is more constructive considering healthy measures that relieve menopausal symptoms, improve and enhance vitality, whilst also reducing the risk of developing chronic and debilitating diseases. Follow the advice and suggestions given for PMS above, whilst increasing the amount of phytoestrogens in the diet by consuming more soy foods, fennel, celery, parsley, flaxseed oil, nuts and seeds. These simple and economic nutritional, behavioural, exercise and lifestyle approaches should not be started when you reach menopause, but TODAY!
In Summary
This article is by no means an exhaustive description of conditions affecting women, yet it does shed light on the important subject of preventive measures shaping the medicine of the future. In fact, the British government has just released a white paper outlining the concept of "health MOTs", whereby the public are invited to have check-ups at five key points in their lives, with preventive nutritional, exercise and lifestyle measures being employed. There are a growing number of centres and clinics offering nutritional therapy, life coaching and personal training in addition to medical care. These multi-disciplinary teams can offer valuable guidance, support and motivation to help you on the road to your premier life!

Randi Zuckerberg, who is two years older than 27-year-old Mark, had been Facebook's director of marketing, responsible for initiatives such as coverage of US elections.
In a letter Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and head of communications Elliot Schrage this week, she said her new company, RtoZ media, would be "focused on the exciting trends underway in the media industry".
Although she did not provide further details, Miss Zuckerberg's focus on marketing Facebook's activity around major news events prompted speculation the new firm would be similarly targeted.
"I have spent my years at Facebook pouring my heart and soul into innovating and pushing the media industry forward by introducing new concepts around live, social, participatory viewing that the media industry has since adopted," she said in her resignation letter.
Industry commentators suggested the new venture would inevitably lead to her working with some of her brothers biggest rivals, such as Twitter and Google, whose latest social network, Google+ has received broadly positive reviews.
Facebook made no comment on Miss Zuckerberg's departure beyond thanking her for her work.

Using the Green Thumb on Social Media Strategy
July 9, 2010 | By admin+ | No Comments
Using the green thumb on social media strategy
The Green Thumb. We all know one. Maybe your dad causes a tomato plant to produce fruit simply because by touching it. Perhaps your next-door neighbor's front porch is an obnoxious display of blooms and greenery. Here's how you can use green thumb know-how to nurture your online listening and social engagement campaign:
- Give it light – You already understand the need for an online listening program, which can clue you into everything from what customers say about the brand to how they feel about. But in a world that's increasingly driven by social media, you need to engage the consumer as well. By engaging your customer on the sites where they already "live" you will let your brand see the light of day it needs to flourish.
- Give it food – One way to feed the social media machine is with usable content. Note the word usable. A successful strategy should include a plan to provide high-quality content. For instance, Karlie Justus for Social Media B2B recommends that you engage the business crowd by introducing your team via social media. Consider a blog post interview with the head of product development or a video interview with the marketing manager. Karlie also recommends providing contact information so users can get in touch with the team members they "meet."
- Give it love – You wouldn't take lush a tropical plant and expect it to blossom outside in a Minnesota winter. If you want an orchid, a rose, or even a humble spider plant to live then you need to learn what conditions help it not just survive but thrive. Love your social media strategy by learning the techniques that will help it grow a fan base and produce a profit.
Nurture your social media plant. Contact Social Strategy1 today.

Providing food for their family was the inspiration for Thicketty Mountain Farms, but the produce, eggs and chickens are now in demand at the Hub City Farmer's Market and Greenville's Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery.
COWPENS – Drivers often slow down as they pass by a pasture on Nancy Creek Road in Cherokee County.
In a field across the road, cattle raise their heads, placidly chewing their cud. But passers-by often aren't used to seeing the type of livestock in the neighboring pasture and slow down for a closer look at the 500 or so Thicketty Mountain Farms laying hens and "broiler" chickens scratching, pecking and clucking in the grass.
For small farmers such as Sallie and Brent Belue, the hens are being raised as they should be, their feet touching the earth, the sun overhead as they forage, their feed free of drugs used to pump them up and keep them healthy in overcrowded factory farms.
The hens lay eight to 10 dozen eggs during the hot summer months. Their mobile nesting house, a trailer with straw-lined cubby holes, and a dome-shaped tent for the broilers are moved periodically in the field to keep it fertilized. The hens are guarded by a hulking Great Pyrenees, Hazel, and a puppy protege, Dolly.
In the winter, the chickens are moved to the Belues' home and garden on Battleground Road, to fertilize where the couple grows a variety of produce.
"There are numerous benefits for the land," Brent said. "I'm morally opposed to chemical fertilizers on my land, and over the long term, the quality of your land will go down. When you buy the (chicken) feed, you're buying the fertilizer, too. It's more cost effective and there's less waste."
Sallie and Brent are both from farming families. Sallie's grandfather, Charles Copeland, operated Old Post Road Farm in Gaffney. Her paternal grandfather, Joe Hambright, and father, Mike Hambright, ran a small farm in the Antioch community just outside Blacksburg in Cherokee County. Brent's family ran Cash farms in Cowpens, where Brent worked in the peach shed for 13 years. His father, Mike Belue, was also a farmer for several years in Cowpens.
But Sallie and Brent didn't farm right away. Brent is a musician. He studied the tuba while in college, and he also knows how to play the electric bass, upright bass and drums. Sallie teaches architecture at Clemson.
Both graduated from Gaffney High School. They began dating four years ago and decided two weeks after their first date that they'd start a farm. "It's all we've ever done together," Sallie said.
Thicketty Mountain Farms is now in its third year on land with a view of the Cherokee County peak it's named for. Its newest farmer, the couple's son, Everette, was born about seven weeks ago. Everette, strapped to his dad's chest, already has helped with the tomato harvest.
Brent quit his job at Pecknel Music, where he sold instruments, to farm full time. Thicketty Mountain Farms now has an intern program, and Alan Eberspacher, who attended the University of South Carolina Upstate, recently moved to the farm from Michigan with his wife.
"We started exploring where our food was coming from," said Eberspacher, 29. "I worked in graphic design for a few years, but it just didn't appeal to me. We want to get back to the old days."
The Eberspachers receive room and board and a small stipend.
"It's not like you can go to college to learn how to do this," Sallie said. "We teach them how to do what we do."
Brent was an intern at the Clemson organic farm. Like the Eberspachers, the Belues were concerned about the source of their food.
"It's a black hole, if you start looking into it," Sallie said.
On a recent Friday, Eberspacher got behind the wheel of a tractor for only the second time in his life, piloting the farm machinery while Brent sat on the back and fed squash plants into a rusty transplanter. which neatly planted the small plants in rows.
The couple bought the transplanter for $500 from Craigslist. When Sallie first saw the rusted machine, she thought perhaps they had been scammed. Turns out, it was the best money they've spent, as it cuts down on planting time.
The Belues start their plants, which include squash, broccoli, greens, okra, cabbage, cauliflower and tomatoes, in a greenhouse, using organic farming guidelines.
"We use a lot of sustainable methods for weed and pest control," Sallie said. "We don't spray any of the bad stuff."
Muscadine and scuppernong vines snake along a trelis near the greenhouse. Blueberries, peach and apple trees also grow at their farm.
Providing food for their family was the inspiration for Thicketty Mountain Farms, but the produce, eggs and chickens are now in demand at the Hub City Farmer's Market and Greenville's Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery.
Response to the farm's produce and chicken products has been good.
"The hardest part is having enough to meet the demand," Brent said. "The market is there, and I don't think it's going anywhere. I think a lot of people are getting on board with the local food movement. I think it's genuine. It would be nice if the whole food industry changed."
While Brent still takes music gigs when he can, he has no regrets about giving up his sales job in an air-conditioned office. There are plans to expand Thicketty Mountain Farms with cows and pigs, and a possible partnership with a new restaurant in the future.
"I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be," Brent said. "Being my own boss is definitely a plus. A bad day out here is almost better than an easy day at the office."

Who's Watching Online Video and When Are They Watching?
Published March 31, 2015 by Mac Chorlton
I've seen a few recent surveys and studies showcasing viewing habits for online videos. Thought I'd share some of the highlights in my blog posting here.
For starters, it should come as no surprise that online viewing habits differ from younger and older viewers. Younger people have grown up in world where YouTube has been around for most of their life and online videos are prevalent and commonplace. In fact, a very high percentage (77%) of YouTube viewers are under the age of 35.
Younger people turn to online videos for numerous reasons including entertainment, information, and advice. Older people tend to prefer watching their entertainment on more traditional platforms like a good ol' television set. But older viewers are increasing their use of online video to learn about products and services as well as for the endless "How to" categories where they can learn about everything from how to properly fillet a fish or how to clean a fish tank. Not sure if the same audience will be watching both of those videos though.
Another study had some interesting findings on when people are watching online videos and their effect on closing the sale. Sunday is apparently the best day of the week for consumers to watch product videos. Also, when people are shopping online, they have a much higher conversion rate for actually purchasing the product if they watch a video about it. In fact, people who watch a product video are 160% more likely to purchase than someone who does not watch a video. Video looks to be a strong closer as well and is very effective when the customer is furthest along in the decision making process to make a purchase. To borrow a line from Glengarry Glen Ross, if "coffee is for closers", then we should pour a cup for online video.

Sir Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott Poems
Comments about Sir Walter Scott
Will B
I have written a Poem in celebration of Sir Walter Scott, called Lift Off.
A stone rocket sits on Princes st, it hasn't moved for years.
Its fuel used up many years ago, in the writing of great man who sits beneath it.Taking us all on a journey, fixed both in history and in the work of the readers and writers who followed. It has reached its destination.Imagination, set in stone, for all to see.
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.
Country Guy
Ah! County Guy, the hour is nigh,
The sun has left the lea,
The orange flower perfumes the bower,
The breeze is on the sea.
The lark his lay who thrill'd all day
Sits hush'd his partner nigh:
Breeze, bird, and flower confess the hour,
But where is County Guy?

Eight murderers are being held in the "open" prison at Shelton Abbey, County Wicklow. Amongst them is the cop killer Martin McDermott who recently escaped and was re-incarcerated.
The Irish Prison Service has told the Irish Independent that, as of last week, there were 110 prisons at Shelton Abbey and 101 at Loughan House, County Cavan. According to the authorities, these "open prisons" are where prisoners nearing the end of their sentences can make the transition to living in the outside world.
Spokesman for the Irish Prisons Service said, "It's to prepare them for a more normal routine."
The prisoners live in rooms, not cells. They have no bars on their window, no barbed wire and no high walls surround the compounds. However, there are police on guard at the front gates. The inmates are warned that if they break the rules, or attempt to escape, they will be sent back to closed prison.
In December 2009, policeman Gary McLoughlin died when his patrol car was rammed at Burt, County Donegal. Last July, Martin McDermott was sentenced to seven years for the crime, having been convicted of manslaughter.
In March, he walked out of Loughlan House, in Cavan. A report presented to the Minister for Justice Alan Shatter showed that McDermott had previously escaped from the "open" prison in 2007. He had 91 previous convictions.
Earlier this year, the authorities decided to move him to the open prison so he could benefit from family visits, additional family support, and further educational opportunities. Irish Prison Service chief Michael Donnellan has admitted the transfer was the wrong decision.
McDermott was found and recaptured in Derry. He is currently serving a four-month sentence in Northern Ireland for charges including assaulting a PSNI officer, resisting arrest and criminal damage.
The Minister and Prison Chief have both apologized to officer McLoughlin's family.

Welcome to Britflicks, a site dedicated to supporting the British film industry. Here you will find all the latest British film news, releases, trailers and interviews as well as some great competitions prizes.
The director's cut of A LANDSCAPE OF LIES, the long awaited UK independent feature film starring 'Loose Women' presenter Andrea McLean, Danny Midwinter ('Human Traffic', 'From Hell'), Andre Nightingale ('Decline of an Empire', 'Casualty'), Marc Bannerman ('Eastenders', 'Snatch' TV series) and Anna Passey ('Hollyoaks', 'The Smoke')is pursuing festival redemption in 2017. The winner of the 'Silver Ace' award from the 2012 Las Vegas International Film Festival was stripped of its accolade when the organisers were made aware of the conviction of the film's producers whose $40m conspiracy to defraud the HMRC and British film industry for a total of $4.2m made legal history.
Paul Knight who was making his directorial debut was buried in litigation for 3 years, both in and out of the public eye whilst proving chain-of-title from the five fraudsters, who were imprisoned in March 2013 for a total of 20 years, on the film that went from concept to completion in under 4 months for a total budget of £84k.Once satisfaction by the HMRC that ownership fell to Knight, he took it upon himself to learn all aspects of post-production, using online tutorials and 30-day trial versions of Adobe's Creative Suite CC to re-edit the 90min feature film to create a never-before-seen directors cut to submit in 2017's film festival circuit.
Paul Knight commented "Being stripped of the award for the crimes of the producers was a devastating blow to the cast and crew that put a huge amount of their time, effort and passion into making the film. I felt we made something special and believe today just as strongly as I felt then that a film festival should judge the merits of what is captured in front of the camera not what took place behind it".
However, Knight isn't just seeking laurels, he hopes to discuss and secure a distribution deal at Cannes film market this May with interested parties.
The controversy behind the film was highly documented in the press in both the UK and US, and more recently was aired in the BBC's Storyville documentary CHANCERS – THE GREAT GANGSTER FILM FRAUD

Welcome to Our Website. We are focused on finding the truth of Life

After all, Death is Part of Life.
Paranormal Existence of other Worlds perhaps.
What happens to us when we die? Communication between the living

our Personality and Memories and doesn't just simply fade away.
We are carried through life to believe in a Higher Power. To believe,

Is this how it's always been?
What is a ghost / spirit exactly? Why do they exist? Why are they here? Why do
some say that only Bad and Evil Spirits remain, but amongst that, a
child's laughter is heard? Are they lost or just Evil Spirits mocking
the living? What do they want? Are they looking for someone

Tarot Cards
The Tarot first known as (Trionfi), sometimes called " The Book of Divination of the Gypsies" is a pack of 78 playing cards used from the Mid- 15th Century with various pictures on them until the present time. The "Tarot" has also found use by "Mystics", "Occultists" , "Gypsies" and "New Agers" in efforts at Divination or as a map of Mental and Spiritual pathways.
The Tarot has been used to reveal hidden truths about and foresee the future of the person receiving the card reading.
Whatever their origin, there doesn't seem to be any argument that today they can be found all over the world.

Day of the Dead
"Dia de Los Muertos"
November 1st & 2nd
Latin American Holiday to love, honor, remember and pray for their departed ones. To celebrate the deceased is to accept that death is an inevitable part of life. Life and death are two sides of the same coin.
Life cannot exist without death.
Skulls are an ultimate symbol of mortality.
Underneath our fleshy exterior, our very earthy existence depends upon this skeletal foundation. Therefore Day of the Dead art revolves around skulls and skeletons.
From the Latin meaning " to be made flesh again. It is a belief that the Soul survives the Physical Death, and is reborn into the next Physical Life, the passing of the Soul from one body to the next. Our Souls never really die, we merely change our physical form, forgetting who we once were.
However, this reincarnated self carries with it some essence or identity of the past life into the next life and is usually not aware of it.
The concept of Reincarnation is easier to grasp if we understand that we are not our bodies, but our souls.
The Soul is forever Evolving.
"The Soul is older than the body. Souls are continuously born over again into this life".
Quote by "Plato"
(When Spirit Searching)
1. Ghost Hunting/ Spirit Searching should be taken as a very serious matter. "IT"S NO JOKE"
Some Spirits/ Ghosts have been wandering around for a very long time unable to be at rest. (They can be Angry) especially if they are constantly teased or provoked. However, some of these entities are just plain Evil and Demonic and enjoy harming the living! under any conditions.
So, if provoking is what you do, then more power to you.
Just Always be aware of your surroundings. NEVER be alone especially if you scare easily. If your depressed or feeling insecure, sad or upset. Don't Ghost Hunt, for you may open yourself up to an unwanted guest and they could follow you back home.
of any situation. You have the power to invite ( Spirits/Ghosts) in so don't open yourself up if your not sure of where it may go. If you are religious, (as myself ) Be Confident and Strong in your Faith.. in your Soul, that what you believe will Protect you. Say your prayers before a Ghost Hunt and before you go to bed at night. ( one of my prayers is at the end of this page)
Some Spirits / Ghosts can find there way into your mind , into your dreams when your sleeping. ( This has happened to me ), Your mind is always awake when your asleep, susceptible to a number of things around you. To some Spirits or Ghosts,this can be an easy way for them to try and communicate with you or do you harm. This is an intrusion. Be Aware.
INTUITION (Sixth Sense)
We all have it. Some stronger the others.
Follow it. Pay attention to it.
When you feel something is not right. DON'T IGNORE IT !!!!
We all can sense all kinds of Phenomena. Most of us just Don't pay attention to it.
PAY ATTENTION !!!! This is our Power.
Our Bodies can Sense when we come in contact with a Spirit / Ghost.
When you focus on building this skill, you will become more confident in your findings in the Paranormal World.
Do your homework on the location you are going to investigate. Research it. Go to your local Library. Try to find local legends and stories or Haunting's reported.
Do a ( walk around) first. Go to the property and get a feel for the location. ( in the daylight ).
If you are going to Ghost Hunt. Make sure that you are not intruding on someone's property. You may get into trouble for trespassing. Please ask the owner.
I also recommend that you write out a contract for yourself and your team. A waiver .
That the property owner and you can sign stating the property owner is not
for any injury you may sustain during the investigation.
This can give the property owner some relief in knowing that he/she is not responsible if you get hurt on his/her property.
If your going to investigate an open area outside some lake or field, PLEASE take plenty of backup batteries and flashlights. I cannot STRESS this enough !!!! , always let someone know where you guys are.
If your going at night. It's always good to keep a first aid kit and a can of mace for the physical kind of danger lurking in the wild. You may also fall and hurt yourself. So keeping a First Aid Kit is also very important.
Be sure to have your equipment ready and fully charged ready to Rock-n-Roll.
Good Luck !!! & Safe Hunting !!!!!

The Ouija Board
Known as the "Talking Board",that would become the first to be marketed in Baltimore, Maryland in the 1890's by Charles W. Kennard. Mr. Kennard gave the name "Ouija". What he believed to be the Egyptian word for "luck".
However, there are dangers in using this board. If you are not careful, you may invite some potentially bad spirits who can and will do you harm. As easy as it is to bring the Spirits through this board and joke around. It might not be so easy to send them back, for they may not want to return.
I would strongly suggest, that this board is only to be used by "Experienced Individuals" who know of these dangers such as a "Psychic Medium".
Please....Please...refrain from using this board. DO NOT USE!!!!
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in
battle, be our protection against the malice
and snares of the devil. May God rebuke
him we humbly pray, and thou,
O prince
of the heavenly host, by the power

2010 is finally here! I remember being a teenager in high school and doing mental calculations of how old I would be at certain points in time; 2010 was one of them! Man, it seemed so far away at the time too…
My resolution, specifically, is to make a small donation each month to a free/open source software project or service, and of course to blog about it here! I haven't thought it out much and I kind of like the idea of picking one each month on the fly, so to speak, but my list will definitely include at least the following:

Tucked in across from TeaHive in Western Dining Commons, Greystone is the most convenient and expansive shopping experience on Western campus and this summer it is open, providing students, incoming and current, a breath of fresh air in what has been a hot, humid – and very rainy – summer.
Western campus has been the staging area for another great class of Miami RedHawks this summer, hosting First-Year Student Orientation for meals and housing since June 3rd. Through it all, Greystone has remained, providing students with a wide-range of options for any of their needs.
Whether it be a member of Miami University's Class of 2019 who left a cosmetic item at home, blinded by their growing excitement to begin their journey as a RedHawk, or a seasoned veteran of college life who knew they needed a drink before diving out into the blinding sun and searing heat (or pouring rain…), Greystone has been there, offering groceries, snacks, water, salads and sandwiches. Greystone has been a "summer savior", preparing you for what you weren't prepared for.
For those of you who have yet to complete orientation at the beautiful Oxford, Ohio campus, Greystone is still open this summer for your convenience. Need toothpaste? We have it. Need a snack? We also have that. Or, just stop by to check out the natural and organic items we carry on our shelves.
For those of you who were caught unaware and didn't find yourself graced by the convenience of Greystone, be sure to stop by this fall or try any of the other market options throughout the Miami University campus. Whether it is M Emporium in Armstrong Student Center, Market Street at MacCracken, Spring Street Market in Shriver Center or the Dorsey Market (NEW!) on East Quad, the Miami markets have everything you need at your convenience.
Greystone Summer Hours
Tuesday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Wednesday-Friday: 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Saturday: 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.

Since Madrid beat them 5-0 last year , i don't know why we can't do the same. Not beatting them which such aggretate but reaching the final.
Man it's gonna be so tough but I have faith in Barca.
It's a 50/50 draw for me, just afraid it might take it's toll on La Liga, while a draw against Juve would be much better for our Liga chances, and for getting to the final of course.
We can do this, but it will be hard on both fronts.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights firm Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by members of the board of directors of KBW, Inc. (NYSE: KBW) in connection with their efforts to sell the company to Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF). Concerned shareholders who would like more information about their rights and potential remedies can contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at (800) 350-6003, email@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111014/MM87207LOGO)
On November 5, 2012, KBW and Stifel announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which KBW will be acquired by Stifel. According to the terms of the deal, Stifel will acquire KBW through a cash-and-stock transaction with a total value in excess of $575 million. KBW shareholders will receive $17.50 per share, comprised of $10.00 per share in cash and $7.50 per share in Stifel common stock. The $17.50 per share offer price represents a premium of only 7.4% based on KBW's closing price on November 2, 2012, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the merger. As recently as September 24, 2012, KBW traded over the offer price, trading at $17.69. Multiple analysts have set price targets higher than the $17.50 offer price with at least one analyst from Sidoti & Company setting a price target for KBW stock at $22.00 per share. The acquisition has already been approved by the board of directors of both companies.
Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at KBW is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders, or seeking to benefit themselves. Notably, following the completion of the merger, KBW's President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Michaud will join Stifel's board and management team and will remain Chief Executive Officer of the KBW business unit. Given the small premium and the continued position of the Company's CEO at the post acquisition company, Robbins Umeda LLP is examining the board of directors' decision to sell KBW now rather than allow shareholders to continue to participate in the company's continued success and future growth prospects.
Robbins Umeda LLP attorneys highlight that KBW shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company to secure the best possible price for the company's shareholders and the disclosure of material information to shareholders so they can vote on the transaction in an informed manner.
Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

Gateway Tire & Service Center helps customers find the right Firestone tires for their car or truck at the right price that fits their budget.

Not sure which tire is right for your car then use our online tire catalog.
Harvey Firestone founded Firestone Tire and Rubber Company in 1900 to supply pneumatic tires for wagons, buggies, and other forms of wheeled transportation common in the early Twentieth Century. After seeing the huge potential in automobile tires, Firestone started mass production of automobile tires. By using relationships, Firestone was able to become the original equipment supplier to Ford Motor Company, and continue to produce tires for the replacement market growing his business until 1988. In 1988, Firestone was purchased by Bridgestone Tire Company, and is still owned by Bridgestone today.
Firestone offers several different types of tires for all types of vehicle. For the touring vehicle, the Affinity Touring Series was developed. The Affinity Touring Series allows customers to buy a product that is great looking and affordable. A solid center rib coupled with an optimized shoulder element angle and shape, give the tire a quiet ride. For wet traction, the Affinity series has wide flow-through grooves giving the tire great performance.
For Light Trucks, the Firestone Tire Company produced the Destination A/T with UNI-T Technology. The Destination A/T tire was developed for the driver who wants to go wherever the road takes them, no matter if the road is paved or not. The design of this tire uses UNI-T Technology to adapt to travel in wet and dry conditions, giving the driver more confidence when handling and breaking in wet weather. Additional technology was used for this tire to ensure a quiet and comfortable ride.
FireHawk GT with UNI-T was created by Firestone to compete in the Performance Tire Market. This tire has a unique wide footprint that improves the way the tire handles corners. An Asymmetric Pattern provides optimal performance in various conditions based on a tread pattern that varies for shoulder to shoulder. Silica was incorporated in the FireHawk to improve traction on wet road surfaces by increasing flexibility of the tread compound. To reduce road noise, Firestone injected their signature Veri-Pitch. Veri-Pitch uses variations in angles and sizes of tread elements, improving the sound that the tire makes while moving. This tire is completed with a Gold Pledge Limited Warranty, with a 30-day buy and try guarantee.

One of my goals this year was to run the Marine Corps Historic Half, on May 21st, 2017, with two of my three kids this year (my youngest has no interest in running 13.1 miles, understandably…). The last time I ran with my oldest two kids was in 2011 when we ran the Marine Corps Irish 10k. Here are some pictures from our 10k run on March 26th, 2011:
We have not run together since 2011, so I wanted all of us to get back out there to tackle bigger and better challenges. We had a great time yesterday at the Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in Fredricksburg, Virginia. My kids and I have come a long way since the last 10k run we did together! My girlfriend joined us on the run.
Our next big goal is to run the Marine Corps Marathon together this October. Oohrah!

America's fascination with the far-out fringes of scientific theory has been amply demonstrated by the phenomenal success of books ranging from Chariots of the Gods?, which contends that the earth was visited by superintelligent extraterrestrial beings in prehistoric times, to The Secret Life of Plants, which argues that plants think, are capable of extrasensory perception, and even possess souls. Now another such literary endeavor has made its way onto the bestseller lists: The Bermuda Triangle (Doubleday; $7.95) by Charles Berlitz, grandson of the language-school founder.

In most cases, Ivy League schools are well worth the price it costs to go there. First off, students with financial needs often have financial aid given to them at Ivy League schools because their endowments are so large. Secondly, the networks one builds at an Ivy League school stay with you your entire life.
Ivy League schools do cost a lot of money. However they also contain many of the brightest people in the country and from around the world. Many people who attend Ivy League schools go on to make some of the best money in the country. The schools ambition to have the smartest and best students, allows them to charge a little more due to how much the students will be making after they succesfully graduate.
Studies show that people who graduate from Ivy League schools don't usually make more money than people who go to normal colleges, on average. In reality, the expense of Ivy League schools isn't often worth it. Society paints these overly expensive colleges in a better light then they rightly deserve, only because they have an ambiance of success.

Winter fest, youngsters give jazz a chanceDecember 14th, 2011 - 12:10 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Dec 14 (IANS) Jazz has always had its share of aficionados in India. But growing avenues of live entertainment along with the rise of internet have forced non-mainstream music genres like it to take a backseat.
Jazz Utsav, which over the past two decades has become quite an event in Delhi, has seen a dwindling number of enthusiasts, but its organisers say the response from youngsters is encouraging.
Arvinder Dhingra of Capital Jazz, which organised the event Jazz Utsav 11 over the weekend, told IANS: "This time we did it at Kamani Auditorium, which has some 800 seats. There was a time in the 1990s when we used to have an audience of around 1,400."
Dhingra attributed this to the rising alternative avenues of live entertainment.
Led by retired attorney general and long time jazz lover Soli Sorabjee, the group Capital Jazz has been organising the festival regularly since its conception in 1984. This year, an open air jazz fest was also held in the capital, drawing a larger audience, most of whom comprised first time jazz listeners.
Says Dhingra, "If such an event retains even 10 percent of its first time audience, it is a good thing." He believes jazz could do with more promotion in India.
Talking to IANS, Tommy Smith, a saxophonist for Arild Andersen's trio from Norway, was quite positive about the future of jazz in India, going by the curiosity among youngsters.
He talked about a Spicmacay event in a leading Noida school where the band connected with young school children: "The youngsters had done their homework. They knew the music we played and they had a lot of questions for us. There we were, faced by 20 eager faces with microphones and by the end we were exhausted!"
"Their enthusiasm and inquisitiveness were like food for us."
Jarry Singla, an internationally renowned jazz musician and part of an Indo-German trio called Eastern Flowers who performed Sunday night, told IANS: "It's very important to have professional schools for the genre."
Noting that music schools are rare in India, Singla had another piece of advice: "Listening to different artists is a very good way to learn. A young musician should listen as much as possible."
He was also interested in working with Indian musicians and said the Eastern flowers "would love to do that".
On the Utsav's first day, an almost full auditorium was in for a musical treat as the Austrian duo of vocalist Michaela Rabitsch and guitarist Robert Pawlik opened the fest with a mix of their favourite compositions.
Arild Andersen's trio was next. The audience loved their rendition of folk music and gave them a standing ovation.
Day two brought the legendary Indian duo of Braz Gonsalves and Louiz Banks together after a long time. Gonsalves came back from retirement to team up with Banks after several years.
The audience was a bit of a surprise in itself, with a lot of young adults turning up. According to organisers, youngsters accounted for almost 40 percent of the ticket sales this year.
The younger audience, like long-time jazz aficionados who had come as well, was happier listening to pure or classic jazz tunes as opposed to those that tried to infuse jazz with pop.
Radhika, a 28-year-old banker who attended the event, said: "I am not a through and through jazz lover, but I really liked the music."

Hermes Heart Surgery
If the included photos feel a bit small, go ahead and click on them. It's always best to look at the big picture, right?
As it is with many used typewriters, the type heads on my newly acquired Hermes Rocket were a bit gobbed up with old, dried ink. Thus, I've always made it a habit to clean the type heads/bars when I get a new machine because I just love that flawless steel look and the clean, crisp text provided by the gunk-free type bars only serves to intensify that love. My weapon of choice to combat the inky hordes? VM&P Naphtha. Dried ink doesn't stand a chance against this cleaning powerhouse. It's easily found at your local hardware store in the paint aisle.
I isolate the type bars as if I was doing heart surgery and, as you can see, the loosened ink is soaking into the rag I slid underneath the type basket just before the first application. When I scrub Naphtha on the bars with a toothbrush, tiny droplets of the stuff tend to splatter everywhere, so I shield my eyes with protective eyewear while covering my workspace and typewriter with cotton rags. A ventilated area is a good idea too, as Naphtha stinks like gasoline. The good news is that the whole process doesn't take all that long because it dissolves the caked-on ink in a matter of seconds. I make a couple of applications, brush all the type heads judiciously, wipe up the excess, and wait for it to dry. Once it's dry, I soak a rag with rubbing alcohol and wipe down each individual type bar, removing any remaining ink smudges. The result:
Wondering how the cleaning has affected type quality? Stop back in the next day or two. The typewriter has been cleaned, lubricated, catalogued, shelved, and is ready for it's very first typecast.
