Binary options – a great introduction to financial trading no comments
As more and more people are starting to get interested in financial trading, I thought I'd write up a post about where to start and what to do when you're a beginner in the trading game. The first thing you need to understand is that it's alright to be a complete newbie in the beginning of your journey. You don't have to be educated or know a lot about what's going on in the financial world – I know I didn't. Things like that you will pick up along the way so don't worry to much about them just yet.
I think the easiest way to get started in financial trading is by starting to trade binary options. Binary options are by far the simplest form of trading, and you can literally learn it in just an hour (the basics, that is). In binary trading you will invest on your prediction of whether an asset like currency, stock, indices or commodity will increase or decrease in value over a short period of time. Unlike other forms of trading however, you don't buy and sell assets when you want to. You simply invest on the fact that for example EUR will increase in value within the next 30 minutes. When you've made your investment you will have to wait half an hour. If the EUR indeed did increase in value in the thirty minutes time you will get your investment back along with a massive return rate of up to 80%. However, if the EUR had decreased in value instead, you would have lost your investment. You can read a more detailed guide on how binary options work on a Spanish trading site called Opciones Binarias!
Another reason I like to recommend binary options to beginners in trading is because it's not that different to sports betting or roulette. Most people who get in to the online trading market come from the online gambling world which means that binary options will probably be the financial instrument that feels most recognizable to them. If you think about it, trading binary options is very much like making a bet on a football game, for example. You do you research and and then you predict the outcome of the event and you make you bet based on that prediction. However, I would say that in binary options trading you have a much greater chance of making the correct prediction thanks to the many analytical tools that the brokers provide.
If you are interested in trying binary options, I can only warmly recommend that you try it out! You can find loads of guides, strategies and good binary options brokers at binaryoptions.pm!

Play with abandon. These are the words on my kitchen calendar. When I need to get my "endoughphins"* going I push the playground gates wide open and start hand-kneading dough, using the traditional French method. It's a messy, sticky hands affair. Hard hat not required, but be on the alert for pieces of dough flying across the room, hitting the ceiling, getting into your hair. As with all physical exercise, you may even want to consult with your doctor first before attempting this. My neighbors must wonder about that possessed man standing before the altar of dough: slamming, folding and turning, slamming, folding and turning—my song of laughter growing louder with each slam. A grin fest, this technique is somewhere between the grace of synchronized swimming and the slapstick of the 3 Stooges or the hysteria of The Beatles singing "All My Loving" on the
Ed Sullivan Show and a solo accordionist playing "Lady of Spain" on a street corner. I first learned this technique from the accompanying DVD to Richard Bertinet's book, Dough. You can also watch him using this method to knead a sweet dough. Still need coaxing? Haven't gotten your fill of French accents? Tired of your Richard Simmons workout videos? Check out Simon the French baker slapping and folding as he talks about getting strength and air into the dough.
I adapted Bertinet's recipe for "brown" dough, adding oats, bran, a handful of sunflower seeds, and shaped it into rolls:
Adapted brown dough recipe
10½ oz. whole-wheat flour (about 21⁄3 cups)
2 oz. oats (½ cup)
7 oz. all-purpose flour (about 1½ cups)
2 tablespoons wheat bran
a couple handfuls of sunflower seeds
1½ teaspoons yeast
12½ oz. water (just over 1½ cups)
1 tablespoons molasses (optional)
1/3 oz. salt (about 2 teaspoons)
Add yeast and molasses to water. Mix the flour, wheat bran, sunflower seeds, and salt together. Stir yeast and molasses into water and add to dry ingredients. Using either your hands or wooden spoon, stir everything together until dough starts to form. Pick up dough, swing it upwards then slap it down away from you. Stretch the front of the dough towards you. Lift it back over itself. Keep repeating this until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in bowl, cover in plastic and let it rise until it doubles (about an hour). Turn the dough out and divide into 8 to 12 pieces. Mold each into a ball. Cover with a dishtowel and let it sit for 5 minutes. After resting, shape into balls again. Place on a baking sheet and let rise for 45 minutes (until nearly doubled in volume).
Preheat oven to 475°. Using a razor blade or sharp knife, make one long-cut lengthwise (or an x in the middle). Open the preheated oven and mist with a water spray. Quickly put rolls in oven, reduce heat to 450° and bake for 10 minutes.
Proceed with caution. There is a rumor that I have channeled Fred Astaire, singing and dancing to George and Ira Gershwin's "Slap That Bass."
Slap that bass
Slap it till it's dizzy
Slap that bass
Keep the rhythm busy
Crank up the music and let the fun begin. You never know what might happen.
*Endoughphins: A sense of well-being derived from the act of hand-kneading dough.

This coming Tuesday, December 21st is the winter solstice, and it is also a full moon and lunar eclipse! Wow, lots of planetary alignments all at once, and on the heels of a 12-12 activation on Dec. 12th.
The winter solistice is the time of the shortest day and longest night, the transition from the days shortening into the days lengthening. It is traditionally a time of ceremony, giving thanks and lighting of candles.
The full moon also carries its own enery of shift and change, as does a lunar eclipse.
I invite any who would like to join me in celebrating this time of shifting, closure, letting go and looking forward. I will be hosting a solstice event in conjunction with Care From The Core, on Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm. 2054 Broad St. in Regina, SK.
The evening will include a full moon meditation, a candle lighting ceremony and an energy enhancement ceremony to assist in the activation of our light bodies as we shift into a higher vibration.
Many Blessing for the holiday season, Bonnie

I am a 38 yr old mom of two boys ages 11 and 17. My oldest has Autism. I am divorced from their dad and have an awesome boyfriend. My boyfriend and I have been together 7 years.
About 2 years ago I lost 87 pounds. It took me a few years to do it, but two years ago I reached the 87 pounds lost mark. My goal was to get to 100 lbs lost, but life got very stressful.. my classroom closed, I was in a car accident, my sister moved several states away, my mom had a heart attack and then had open heart surgery.. and a few other things. I ended up gaining a little here and there because I was no longer putting working out/eating right first. Over the last few years I have put back on all, but 25 pounds of what I had lost.
I am so discouraged because I felt so good about how far I had come! I worked my butt off for every single pound I'd lost.. I just want to turn things around and start losing again.. starting today 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions
Are slots available on the Windows Phone?
They might have been slow, I mean very slow, to catch on but despite several near brushes with death, the Windows phone lives on and is set to thrive. What's more, it actually makes for a great gaming platform. Slots are openly available on Windows phones and, for your convenience, we have pre-selected the best ones according to our vetting process. So yes, slots are available on Windows phone and a good thing it is too.
What models are compatible?
We found that almost every Windows phone by the major manufacturers; (HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Sony, etc) was compatible with the recommended slots sites. If your phone is less than two years old, you shouldn't be having any problem accessing the sites here.
Can I play for real money?
Yes you can and it's never been more convenient to do so. The progressive slot jackpots for example, can reach humungous levels and have proved extremely popular on the Canadian market.
How do I start playing?
You start by setting up an account which is extremely easy, especially given the help we can provide you. Taking all of about one minute, once your account is set up, you're free to play as much as your heart desires.
Should I use the site or an app?
It all comes down to individual preference this one. Some people prefer to save space on the device by accessing their site directly through a browser while others prefer a dedicated app on the home screens, either way you win. For those that prefer the speed of an app, Windows phones actually let you customize an app tile even for those sites that don't actually provide them.

The great thing about Windows phone casino play is that you play whenever the fancy take you; morning, noon or night, just log on and play your favourite mobile casino games.

Is it safe?
Yes, don't be put off by browser play. While Canadian players won't find many mobile slots apps for download when using a Windows Phone, great play can be achieved through your browser with maximum security and stability. We wouldn't recommend a slots site that wasn't. Safety is paramount.
Are Windows Phone slots random?
Of course, there is no point in us recommending a slots site to you that doesn't play fair. Besides which, the RNG's within guarantee to make slots games fair and random.

I have a bunch more of these in the works. They were my first two things to sell. I'm hoping I start a guitar pick holder revolution! Every rocker in the country is going to need one of my bags.
I'm also working on some more bobby pins. I just learned to crochet a little bit (it's fun!). So, I have a pretty flower bobby pin in the works. I'm heading to Michael's today to buy some stuff to make magnets and bobby pins.
I'm still having so much fun it should be illegal! It's so fun to be creative again. The ideas just keep coming. And, knitting is the sort of thing you I can do a little at a time so I'm not really slowed down by having a kid at home. I just knit when I can and suddenly…a hat is born!
I've also priced some items lower in my shop or offered free shipping. I'm not going to be making any more lipstick cases or trinket boxes (too hard to figure shipping and they just don't really inspire me anymore). I'm also not going to be sewing any more big purses. Designing them and sewing them takes about 7 hours which is time I just won't have once this baby is born. So, I've lowered the prices on them too. I don't like how cluttered my shop is looking so I want to get the "old" ideas out and make room for all the new stuff I'm doing.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Review – PS3
We've never been dismissive of the Tekken series – in fact, some might say we're quite effusive with our praise. But we were ready to meet Tekken Tag Tournament 2 with something approaching grudging anticipation. We wanted it. We wanted to play it. We were excited by what it would bring. But there was little heart; little genuine enthusiasm backing up this rote selection of responses to an upcoming sequel.
We've barely stopped playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2 since it arrived. Now we have egg on our faces simply for not being excited enough in the first place. It's not often that happens.
Bringing together almost every character from Tekken's past (we're missing Gon, mind you), TTT2 is a huge love letter to one of the most-celebrated fighting franchises on PlayStation. If you've ever loved King's stalling suplex, Jack's Cossack dance, Lei's drunken master…ness or the fact that Kuma is a bear, you're likely to find something to love here.
Beyond just being a sequel to the ultimately throwaway original Tekken Tag Tournament, released back in the early days of the PS2, this is a more fleshed-out, less sideshow attraction version than what came before.
Players pick a team of two characters, as before, but this time around the duo is capable of more in the way of team attacks – some even specific to particular duos. Then there's the tag combos, which can be activated by using Tekken 6's 'bound' moves, and add in switch-in, switch-out quick hits to keep things interesting. And more juggly, obviously.
Of course, you can always opt to go solo, which results in missing out on the tag-specific moves and combos and, of course, the ability to switch characters. But the bonus it brings is increased hitting power and the ability to take more hits before a KO. It's a balance, and it's one that adds yet another layer of strategic thinking to the game – one we didn't even consider beforehand.
Aside from the aforementioned new elements, we're looking at Tekken as usual. It's less tech than the likes of Virtua Fighter, but that means it's a more open playing field for those of differing skill levels – even beginners are capable of beating the mighty Play, at least sometimes (N.B. only if they're spamming Eddy/Christie/Tiger/Hwoarang). It's a juggle frenzy of high-impact, spectacular moves from a well-balanced character set. There are the odd ones, here and there, that feel a bit off and flying kicks are still hugely overpowered, but at no point did we feel we had selected a character that was utterly useless. Not even stupid, rubbish, boring Paul.
The winds of fashion
Throughout your brawls you will be constantly picking up credits. "But why?" you might wonder, "what could I possibly do wi…" YOU CAN BUY A SIREN TO PUT ON YOUR HEAD. Play dress up and make badass characters look like idiots. Give King weird real animal legs. Give the raptor Alex a T-Rex head. In fact, more than just messing about with how the characters look, you can also give them useable weapons, like a paint gun or trombone. It's willfully dumb in the most part, but it does give you more personal ownership on the characters you'll inevitably take online.
It's not just straight-up battering each other, though, with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 offering a ton of content beyond its standard arcade and versus modes. The most interesting and – dare we say it – important addition has to be the Fight Lab.
Here players take control of Combot as they learn how to do basic, advanced and irritatingly difficult techniques in a number of challenges. It's aimed at getting newcomers accustomed to how Tekken plays in a more structured fashion than the more freeform training mode, but it offers something for experts too. Mainly because it's surprisingly difficult. But also because you can build Combot into your own character, bestowing up the robo-brawler the moves you see fit to give it and taking said creation into actual, proper fights. It's a really good system, which surprised us somewhat, and would be a welcome addition to many other fighting games.
You will, however, encounter a point when you want to throw TTT2, or your pad, or your console, or your TV, or your cat out of the window. This point is called 'when you fight the last boss'. We're undecided where she ranks in the bastard-o-meter when compared to Azazel or Jinpachi, but there's no doubting it is a challenge that removes much of the fairness and replaces it with cheap, impossible-to-avoid attacks and ridiculously-ranged hits.
But that, along with the remaining inability to accurately judge where Ogre's hitboxes are, doesn't exactly detract much of anything from the game as a whole. You'll be annoyed, you might even turn off out of sheer frustration, but this is less than a single per cent of the massive amount of game. It just doesn't matter.
Because there's so much elsewhere to love, to enjoy, to lose yourself to for those glorious 20-minute blocks where nothing outside just playing a game matters. So much to practice (what do you mean King has other throwing combos?), so many nuances of the tag system to pick up on, so much timing to perfect and so, so many wigs to put on dinosaurs.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will last you a long time, and all throughout that long time you'll be having a good one. Once again, we're being quite effusive with our praise.
Far from being the sideshow attraction the word 'spin-off' might suggest, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is actually pretty damn brilliant. Some brilliant underlying mechanics support a generous amount of content in a package that helps you realise sometimes you just want to play a game.

Consumers are being invited to vote for the TalkTalk Digital Heroes Awards 2014, which aim to recognise people who use technology for the benefit of their community.
Having received hundreds of entries from across the UK for this year's awards, TalkTalk has whittled them down to a shortlist of just 28.
Each of the nominees is in with the chance of winning £5,000 of funding for their project, should they emerge triumphant in their category - as voted for by members of the public.
A further £5,000 is up for grabs to the overall winner, who will be decided by TalkTalk's judging panel.
Dido Harding, Chief Executive at TalkTalk, said it is "fantastic" to see so many people using technology to benefit their community.
"The fact that we are now in our seventh year of these awards is testament to the number of brilliant projects that are really making a difference and are in need of recognition," she stated.
"As one of the UK's biggest broadband providers, we have long held the belief that the internet is a force for good."
Ms Harding said the awards "sit front and centre" of its TalkTalk Digital Heroes Foundation, which supports and nurtures initiatives using digital technology in a positive way.
Consumers have until September 25th 2014 to vote across all categories in the TalkTalk Digital Heroes Awards 2014.
The winners of each category will be invited to a ceremony at the House of Commons, where the overall champion will be announced.
Back in 2013, Scott Freeman - co-founder of The Cybersmile Foundation - was announced as the UK winner and the recipient of £10,000 funding.
The charity provides advice and support to those people affected by cyber-bullying and their families.


text: My friend is having two major problems with his brand new Droid RAZR. One, he cannot seem to connect to wifi properly. We are college students, and my Galaxy Nexus, all laptops, etc, connect to the school wifi perfectly. We will be in an area that has perfect wifi signal, and the Droid RAZR will scan and see the network, and show it having a very strong signal. However, when it tries to connect to the network, if I am in Wifi Settings, I suddenly see the wifi signal strength drop to nothing, and it fails to connect. I've got it to connect before, but only for a few seconds before it lost all signal again and disconnected. Second, the RAZR has an insanely terrible battery drain, much worse than other users have reported. After 3.5 hours, with about 20 mins screen time on minimum brightness, its down to 25%. When I go into battery usage stats, "Android OS" is draining 60% of the battery. It seems like the phone is never sleeping? Please please please, any suggestions?

Live updates
US authorities treating incident as 'domestic terrorism'
The US FBI are handling the investigation into the Sikh temple shooting as a "domestic terrorism" case, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said.
He also said the temple complex has been cleared, but they are still methodically searching the area.
Police officer shot several times outside temple
The police chief of the city of Greenfield, Brad Wentlandt said a very experienced police officer "engaged an active shooter" outside the temple and "multiple rounds were exchanged".
He said the police officer was shot several times and is now being treated in hospital for multiple gunshot wounds.

President Barack Obama has been told about the fatal shooting spree at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, a White House official has confirmed.
John Brennan, Obama's counterterrorism adviser, told him about the shooting.
The president is now receiving updates on the incident in suburban Milwaukee, the official said.
At least seven people have died, including a gunman, and at least three people are seriously wounded, local police and hospital officials said.
'At least seven killed' in Sikh temple shooting
A shooting during a Sunday service at a Sikh temple has killed at least seven people, including the gunman, and injured "dozens" more, leaving at least three critically wounded.
Four people were shot inside the temple and three were shot outside.
Smiran Kaleka, a niece of one of the wounded men, said a number of gunmen walked into the kitchen of the temple in Oak Creek and started shooting. She said her mother had told her the shooters were white men.
'Seven dead' after Sikh temple shooting
Police in Milwaukee say they have killed an "active shooter" at the scene. A police spokesperson told the Associated Press that six people had been shot inside the temple.
Three taken to hospital after Sikh Temple shooting
Three men have been taken to hospital in Milwaukee after a shooting incident in a Sikh Temple.
Hospital spokeswoman Carolyn Bellin said one was in the operating room, another in a surgical intensive care unit and the third was being evaluated in the emergency room.
Shooting at Sikh temple in Wisconsin, say witnesses
At least one gunman opened fire during morning services at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and remained on the loose inside the temple, possibly holding hostages, according to witnesses.

The dispatcher for Oak Creek Fire Department said first reports of the shooting came in about 10:30am local time.
Two witnesses said the shooter or shooters were still inside the building.

Serving the world from Tallahassee, FL
Representing Quincy, FL
It's Valentine's Day and all the men are scrambling to buy gifts. Some men don't have the money to get all the things his old lady asked for this holiday. To those men I say to you "Chill, I have a solution." First you must remind her of the reason for the season and it's about love and not gifts. That should get you out of buying some things. Second write a list of sentimental things to such as a foot massage, doing the dishes, taking care of the kids ect. Things like this really show a woman you care and you didn't have to buy it. Third, it's this store called The Dollar Tree. Go there and buy the bags of artificial rose pedals, 2 candles, some bubble bath and a blank card so you can put only your feelings in the card.
Now you have everything in place to have the best cheap yet super Valentine's Day. Step #1 use the rose pedals, candles and bubble bath for that candle lit bath that you are going to make for your baby. After a bubble bath woman are so vulnerable and clean so it's safe to eat up. Step #2 put that card you bought in the room on the bed. This should set you up for some good head and round number 2. Now think back to all the arguments that yall may have had and write in this card all the thing she says you never tell her, or say to her, or give her credit for, or appreciates her for I can go all day but you see where I'm going? After she reads that it's going to be on again.
I gotcha 2 nuts in one night if you want more than that you on your own cause I'll be sleep!

European Commission
Štefan Füle
European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy
European Union strategy for the Arctic
European Parliament, plenary debate / Strasbourg
17 April 2013
President, Honourable Members,
The European Union is stepping up its contribution to Arctic cooperation.
I am therefore pleased to speak to the Parliament today on behalf of High Representative and Vice-President Catherine Ashton, about the European Union's Arctic policy following the adoption of the Joint Communication of the Commission and HR/VP last June. Progress has been substantial.
Over the last decade, we have become the largest sponsor of Arctic research, with contributions of 20 million euro per year. Additionally, as part of its regional and cross-border funding, the European Union has put over one billion euros into economic development from Greenland to Russia. Add Member States' bilateral contributions to that and the figure rises to almost two billion euros.
The next steps we plan will make the European Union's contribution to Arctic cooperation even more meaningful.
Our policy focuses on three key components:
Starting with "Knowledge", the European Union's new Horizon 2020 programme will establish closer links with researchers from third countries. We are also exploring the feasibility of creating a European Arctic Information Centre.
Turning to "responsibility", we want to work with our Arctic partners and with the private sector to develop environmentally-friendly, low-risk technologies that could be used by the extractive industries and the shipping industry.
And finally, on "engagement", we are stepping up our dialogue with all Arctic states and stakeholders.
The Commission will continue to engage with Arctic indigenous groups to find ways to work together in a number of practical areas. We will organise an Arctic indigenous dialogue meeting in the coming months.
An important decision on the European Union's application for observer status is to be made next month by the eight Arctic States that form the Arctic Council - in our view, the key international forum on Arctic questions.
We trust that the Arctic Council members will come to a fair decision, recognising in particular the significant contribution the European Union can bring to the work of the Council. I am therefore thankful for the European Parliament cross-party support for the application.
Let me conclude by saying that whatever we do, there is one thing we must do for the Arctic, and that is work with our international partners to address climate change and to limit global temperature increases to less than 2°C.
Closing remarks
I would like to thank you for your valuable input this evening. This Parliament has been an important driver behind the development of the European Union's Arctic policy. Tonight, you have underlined once more that the Arctic is a region that affects us all here.
You made clear that the Arctic itself will need support in facing the tremendous environmental and economic challenges that have relevance not only for today's, but also for future generations. Cooperation is key. We need to take responsibility and make a contribution.
We are already intensifying discussions with the United States and Canada on Arctic research cooperation. The European Union has established a regular dialogue on Arctic issues with Norway and is exchanging views with Iceland to find policy synergies. We also have a successful cooperation framework with Iceland, Russia and Norway through the Northern Dimension. The partnership between the European Union and Greenland will open up important new opportunities to assist.
The further development of our policy will also be affected by our observer application to the Arctic Council. We trust that the Arctic Council members will come to a fair decision, recognizing in particular the significant contribution the European Union can bring to the region.
Thank you.

Trade Idea
Lakers Gets: Brandon Jennings, 2015 Detroit 1st Round Pick
Detroit Gets: Rudy Gay
Lakers get PG for when Nash retires and formidable backcourt with Jennings Bryant. Also will get a first round pick to start building for the future.
Raptors get veteran leader with championship experience. Good frontcourt with him at C and Valanciunas at PF.
Detroit will be slighly log jammed downlow with Gay at SF, Smith at PF, Monroe at PF, and Drummond at C, but I think they can then trade Monroe who is going to demand a max contact. They can trade him for a PG and then will now have scorer in Gay.
Works for all teams in my opinion
I mean this would never happen for so many reasons, but if you have been watching either team this year, or even the game last night, you would know the Lakers are much better off with Blake running the point than Jennings, and Pistons wouldn't give up that first rounder.
Brandon Jennings hasn't had enough time to gel with the Pistons lineup and will improve. But can you imagine him working with Kobe who has an insane work ethic. The kid is talented, just needs the right leadership.
honestly, i think the pistons are doing the right thing by not extending monroe. letting the market determine his value is well worth it.. worst thing that happens is he's offered the max and the pistons match it, which is still a great move. best case scenario, a team offers him his real worth. which isn't the max, but close to it.
either way, i think the pistons like monroe, and have him in their plans long term. they are just letting the market decide his value, thats all.

Iron-On some visibility at Lions Gate Hospital
Chances are that at least one of your commutes these days is done in the darker hours of the morning or evening. Although cyclists are commonly decked out in bright or reflective rain jackets, those of us walking, using transit or driving are more likely to be wearing dark winter coats.
For a second time, VCH is holding a series of Iron-On Visibility events at the three largest acute centres. Bring your winter coat, bring a mug for a free cup of hot coffee and iron a reflective strip onto the back collar of your winter coat. This is just one of many creative and stylish ways to make your winter wear just a little bit more present at night.
Richmond Hospital Iron-On event: Monday, Dec 4th in the main lobby near Starbucks from 11:30am-1pm
Lions Gate Hospital Iron-On event: Tuesday, Dec 5th in the main lobby near the gift shop from 11:30am-1pm
Vancouver General Hospital Iron-On event: Wednesday, Dec 6th in the main lobby the gift shop from 11:30am-1pm

Crashes with pedestrians spike in fall and winter as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease. When pedestrians get hurt, nobody wins. Whether you're driving on the road or walking on the sidewalk, safety is up to all of us. Almost one in five people killed in car crashes across B.C. are pedestrians.

Do you know what it means to be a social butterfly?
It's not that person you envied in high school who could talk about anything with anyone.
It's the person who can hang with the hashtags, be in the know on which social media giants owns which app and navigate the all the tiny (or huge) feature updates that you had no idea about.
Oh and this all happens well before her first coffee, we might add.
Logan Kazman, The Tite Group's own social media specialist, is just that person around here. Every Tuesday, she'll be sharing "Learning with Logan" where you'll get the inside scoop on the top social media news of the week.

Roots Canada plays into their roots
Roots Canada just released its latest spot, a video montage celebrating 150 years of "being nice."
That's not all the brand did. In addition to the video, Roots updated its web page to feature personal stories of "Nice" Canadians ranging from famous comedic talent to Canada's aid and support for Syrian refugees.
Hit or Miss: A hit! This entire campaign from Roots is a well-constructed video that really left a mark. The video was so powerful because it played into common truths, explored our past, all the while creating hope for Canada's future. Above all, this campaign really epitomizes what the Roots brand is all about – connecting Canadians from coast-to-coast.
Twitter's Emoji Search Function
🆕 ✨ Twitter now supports emojis in 🔍 search. Here are people using the 📠 fax machine emoji for some reason pic.twitter.com/MWO6BrN4sk— Emojipedia 📙 (@Emojipedia) April 28, 2017
Twitter just recently updated the platform to support emoji in search. Users can now type their favourite emoji into the search bar and browse for tweets featuring it.
Hit or Miss: While the update seems minor it actually has large implications for brands, marketers, and agencies as it allows for a deeper and more precise dive into user habits and subsequently, their tweeting patterns. Emoji use in branded messaging has always been a delicate matter, especially in terms of how many are appropriate to use or when they are appropriate to use. Now that brands can get this better insight courtesy of Twitter, they will be able to better judge how to communicate with their audiences.
84 Lumber Aims High in New Spot
Who remembers 84 Lumber's Super Bowl spot? The powerful 90-second ad focused on the story of immigration and the Trump administration. This time, they're back in a new recruitment commercial.
The 30-second post highlights the need for unique and qualified candidates (quite similar to NASA astronauts) to help build homes on planet Earth.
Hit or Miss: This spot falls flat in its 30 seconds. Frankly, comparing NASA astronauts to management positions at 84 Lumber is a loose tie-in. We get that 84 Lumber was trying to go for ambition, but it just feels off to link an astronaut to a manager at a lumber company. Unfortunately, this is what makes the boldness fall flat. What do you think of the spot? Share your thoughts with us by tweeting to @TheTiteReport.

Whether you earn your Private Pilot License in helicopter or airplane, the process of getting a pilot license takes you through three phases of learning:
- The first phase, Pre-Solo, is where you learn to take off and land, how to maneuver the airplane, and how to communicate on radios. You'll take a flight physical and obtain a medical certificate. This phase culminates in your first solo flight.
- Next, in the Cross-Country phase, you will learn flight planning and navigation, all while refining your pre-solo skills. Most people complete their FAA written test sometime during this phase. This phase concludes with a solo cross country flight to an airport at least 50 miles away.
- Last is Checkride Preparation. This will prepare you for you FAA practical exam. After you pass, you are officially a Private Pilot!
Time and Price
The national average for obtaining a pilot license is 60-70 flight hours over a 6-9 month period, but varies widely by individual. Cost can range from $12,000-$14,000 which includes the cost of instructors, aircraft rentals, ground school tuition, and other supplies.
Aircraft Options
Airplane: Cessna 152/172 are the most popular training aircraft for their long history of proven reliability and stable flight characteristics. Tailwheel is also a great option for many pilots. Nowadays, some people are choosing to begin their training in advanced G1000 aircraft.
Helicopter: The Robinson R22 is known throughout the world as a popular training helicopter. Its sensitive control inputs cultivate excellent pilot control touch.

Installing the ZfH IP Client without ActiveSync
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 6 Jan 2003
With very little user interaction, you can distribute the ZfH IP Client via a web server. Here's how you do it.
If your environment does not require synchronizing the handhelds, but you wish to manage the handhelds with ZfH, you must install the ZfH IP Handheld Client. In a sync environment, the ZfH Sync Client can be automatically installed by the Proxy and ZfH can be utilized to install the ZfH IP Client. When no ActiveSync takes place, the ZfH IP Client must be installed by running the ZfH IP Client .CAB file. Once installed, the handheld will communicate with the Proxy (which can be installed to the same machine hosting the ZfH Server) via TCP/IP.
First stage the .CAB file to a web server. Then tell your Handheld users to do this:
- Use PocketIE to browse to the web server.
- Click the link pointing to the .CAB file, and PocketIE will prompt you to Open (default) or Save the file.
- Choose Open. Opening the .CAB file will auto-run and install the ZfH IP Handheld Client.
For information on generating the .CAB files and pre-configuring the .CAB files prior to distribution, please see Installing the ZfH IP Client.
For more info about ZENworks for Handhelds, check out the ZENworks for Handhelds Resource Library.

After more than 70 years of operation, The Rice Diet Program has officially closed its doors and mothballed its website. Based in Durham, North Carolina, the diet program was the first celebrity endorsed weight loss "miracle," when stars like Buddy Hackett, Shelley Winters, and Lorne Greene were all singing its praises in the 1940s. But that was a three-quarters of a century ago, and as the diet craze turned hot and became watered down, the Rice Diet simply got overcooked.
Founded in 1939 by Dr. Walter Kempner—a man known to wield a whip used to spank his patients—the program was affiliated with Duke University and was originally designed to treat people with kidney and heart problems. When overweight patients began to shed the pounds, Kempner saw dollar signs and experienced great success for decades. However, the tenets of the diet were not sustainable.
The Rice Diet was basically a strict starvation diet—about 1,000 calories allowed per day—and guess what you get to eat? Unsalted rice, fruit, vegetables, and cheese and nuts if you make it past the first few weeks. On such a low caloric plan, weight loss is basically guaranteed. But the Rice Diet was no match for more liberal diets that allowed red meat, salt, and dairy, and for the longest time, the only way to partake in the diet was to travel to Durham for a retreat, which insurance rarely covered.
Rice Diet's and Duke University's relationship grew sour in 1993 when a woman sued Kempner for harassment (see: spanking). Dr. Robert Rosati took over ownership of the program after Kempner's death in the late 90s, and 2002 saw Duke severing its ties with the embattled clinic.
With no money coming in, Rosati had been trying to sell in recent months but was unable to negotiate a deal. John Aycoth, a man who lost 130 pounds at Duke Diet Center, is trying to buy the property to implement a new program under Rice Diet's same principles. Further details on the sale are unknown, though Aycoth will reportedly call his new venture the Rice House Healthcare Program.
One-third of Americans are obese, so there will always be a market for new diets and even health retreats. In this day and age, it remains to be seen whether or not the public still desires a program as limiting and rigorous as the Rice Diet, but unlike many flash in the pan diets, this one at least has 70 years of bland, tasteless proof.

The Summer of the Massacre
by Geoff on Aug.15, 2010, under Daily Review
I'm impressed that this film actually got a DVD release and that the box looks pretty good. Makes the film look like a real movie. When I say that, it's not sarcasm as the film is obviously a very cheap production created by a small dedicated team out to achieve glory, or at least create some form of film they can be a little bit proud of. Is it any good?
It's cheap. Did I mention that? And with cheap comes poor production, poor acting, bad direction and a crappy plot. Here we see some real heart shining through though with actors creating a spark of character with a script which was probably adlibbed which I found to be really good. This is probably the highlight for me as the actors are all doing quite a good job. Notably, Jeannette James, Chriss Jarratt, Jack Wilkie and Amy Formon. The plot is a simple one which has all the key characteristic of a classic stalk and slash flick from the 80's. Kids lost in the woods on a camping trip. Weirdo warns them off. Classic murder of random strangers in the opening scene before the introduction of the key players. Finally, we have a nutter with a mask.
The camera work lets this film down more than anything. It's really poor. Some overly close up shots and some crazy shaky stuff too. The first rule of making a cheap film is get a good DP and camera man. Keep steady shot to distract from the lack of inexperience, although, avoid long lingering scenes too. The next big issue is the score and foley. The score is bad, crappy keyboard and too much of it. The foley I also too much. The crazy bloke shouts and barks far too much which ruins the over all suspense of the final 20 minutes. Running around the woods could be better if it was a bit quieter and spookier.
This aside, I enjoyed the film. It's good to see a British slasher and the film industry alive and well, and it's reassuring to see some enthusiasm for the genre. No doubt with a bit of revenue which this film could make out of DVD sales, I'd expect Bryn Hammond (Director) to step up the game with his next movie.

Two loud bangs end 25 years on death row for Gardner
The Salt Lake Tribune
Updated: 06/18/2010 08:03:55 AM MDT
Draper » Five shots.
Four bullets.
With two loud bangs in quick succession, Ronnie Lee Gardner's quarter century on Utah's death row ended. . .
. . . read more, http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_15325197?source=rv
In the Reader Comments forum following the article, between the redneck 'git 'er done' crowd, and the hand-wringing opponents of the death penalty - those arguing for final justice, and those asking who are we to judge - there was a decided appeal to the will of the almighty on both sides.
I submitted these observations myself:
UnfaithfulServant: 6/18/2010 10:15:00 AM
My 1st thought: Maybe they should've let the doctor position the target - the heart is in the middle of the chest.
My second thought: It's tragic that anyone's life should come to this. But actions based on the rule of law, and moral judgement, are two different things.
If you believe that "Judgement is mine sayeth . . .", then it ought to be possible to defer moral judgment to gawdalmighty, while at the same time sending him on to said imagined deity for judgment. And even if you don't, you can see the warrant of execution carried out, without all the moralizing.
An afterthought: As Clint said in the latest remake of The Unforgiven, " We've all got it coming, kid."
Life is sometimes complicated and messy. How do the rest of you feel about this?

Judge Ronald L. Bauer's order tossing the Laguna Terrace Park controversy to unelected bureaucrats on the California Coastal Commission should not escape close scrutiny ("Judge rules against owner," July 15).
Free people have a fundamental right to own and enjoy private property without interference. Indeed, the right to private property supports all other political and civil rights. The alternative is government ownership and control, which diminishes individual choice and fosters dependency and oppression.
Unfortunately, this most basic of civil rights is all too often subverted and, worse, stamped with the judiciary's approval; a sadder example that this is so can hardly be imagined. As a result of this judge's ruling, the fate of the mobile home park's owner, and those in Laguna Terrace, is fraught with uncertainty.
Members of the Coastal Commission are not accountable to the electorate, but the same cannot be said for Superior Court judges. This uninstructed order earns Bauer a "no" vote the next time he seeks reelection. Judges need to honor individual liberty, not undermine it.


text: I always thought the fists of the BWX Primal in beast mode looked kinda dumb, like two hammer for rumble, so I decided to go for more of an animal look. First, I had to punch out the pin, which was pain and a half, the pin was so tight that one end of it (the grooved side) never came out. I punched it out partially and the slide the rest off, make sure that you get the right side, because the groove side can rip up the plastic inside the fists, like it did to mine. (hey, but you learn ) and then I unscrew the fist, and found the white connector inside, I had to shave off some of the parts on the connector to make way for the pin that holds the flap. Then I dremeled away the pieces on the fist itself to make way for the white connector to pass, as well as shave a bit off the top so the fist can turn with out obstruction. then I put them back together, hammer the pin back in, and put it back on Primal, and voila! Primal with more natural looking fists! I also painted his red hands silver, and the halves on this thigh black to fit in witht he rest of the scheme.

FALSE ALARM ang balitang si Dingdong Dantes na ang bagong host ng Survivor Philippines 3, as reported sa ilang babasahin. Ito ay pagkatapos mag-ober da bakod ang orig host na si Paolo Bediones from GMA-7 to TV5, kung saan siya bukod sa regular shows na gusto nitong gawin ay ginawa rin siyang executive ng nagpapalakas na network.
Ayon kasi sa nasulat, isang buwan lang naman daw ang ite-tape ni Dingdong for the said reality competition program sa isang undisclosed location, and after that ay sisimulan na nito ang taping ng Endless Love, ang new teleserye nila ni Marian Rivera.
Kaso nga, mali ang chika. Magkasabay naming tinext sina Dingdong, manager nitong si Perry Lansigan, at si Angel Javier ng GMA Corporate Communications.
Unang tumugon si Angel: "Don't think so," reply nito sa text. Hindi nakapag-respond si Perry dahil maaaring nasa meeting. At simpleng "Nope" ang reply naman ni Dong mismo.
And so, walang Dingdong na magho-host ng Survivor Philippines 3. Maaaring na-consider siya ng GMA management, pero malamang, isa sa dahilan ng hindi pagkakatuloy nito ay Endless Love ang talagang original plan for him, bukod pa sa magiging busy ito sa shooting ng new movie with Marian Rivera.
SAMANTALA, NAKAPAG-PICTORIAL NA noong March 3 si Dingdong with Marian for his new romantic comedy movie under Regal Entertainment and GMA Films na wala pang title. Si Direk Mark Reyes ang direktor.
In line with the Dong-Marian movie, "masigasig" ang Dongyan fans sa pag-e-mail upang iparating sa producers ng film ang kanilang saloobin tungkol sa project, at naroon ang kanilang genuine concern na maging de kalidad ang material ng bagong pelikula ng kanilang favorite loveteam – at 'wag madaliin sa promo.
Tunghayan po natin ang sensible e-mail ng Dongyan fan na si Myra Parreno (firstname.lastname@example.com):
"I am compelled and driven to share my sentiments with you about the upcoming movie of Dingdong and Marian. I understand the movie is expected to shoot during the months of March and April this year.
"In addition, it is going to be shown shortly after that to quench the thirst of many of their followers waiting for their team-up once again onscreen.
"When I read this, I had mixed emotions. I was ecstatic to the point we will see them again onscreen but also very apprehensive and disappointed to what seems to be a movie project done in a hasty mode.
"The fans allegedly are clamoring for their much awaited return onscreen. No doubt we certainly are. But to rush a movie project? No way in hell. That is a disgrace to Dingdong and Marian and most of all an insult to us their avid followers.
"We are very excited and very much optimistic to see our royal couple back onscreen but to rush a movie project and use the fans as excuse is so lame and so unfair. I don't mean to sound too ostentatious.
"May I remind you that many of their followers are successful professionals in their own respective fields. We can decipher a quality project from a lousy one. In short, Dingdong and Marian and all their supporters deserve nothing but a good quality and well thought out movie project.
"I appeal to your senses and influence. Please convey our sentiments to GMA and Regal and to Mark Reyes as well as Dingdong/Marian. We want a quality comeback movie project for them. We can and will wait patiently. If lessons were learned from the past, a very good promo is indeed a big factor that should be considered.
"Take some tips from ABS-CBN. The public knows and are much smarter. We want those involved in this movie project to hear our voices and know how we feel. All we ask for is to give our primetime's first couple a much deserved project that we can be proud of."

text: Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 32 year old stay at home mom from New Jersey who loves handbags, especially trendy designer handbags. Unfortunately, I can't really afford to buy a whole lot of the designer "it" pieces frequently but that doesn't keep me from window shopping and looking at pictures of hot new bags in magazines. I try not to blow money on too many handbags, I just buy 1 or 2 really nice quality pieces a year to help stay on budget. I've got three kids age 3 and under, so their needs come first. My husband treats me to a nice handbag once or twice a year, so I do my research and save up for well-made timeless pieces. happy purse blogging Sadaf

Megan and Chris Parsons didn't buy their house in Winchester, Massachusetts, in 2006 for the kitchen. In fact, with the gray Formica cabi- netry, mauve granite counters, and dropped ceiling, the kitchen was the worst room in the house. Yet the rest of the turn-of-the-20th-
century Victorian cottage-style house greatly appealed to the newlyweds. Chris, a professional chef and restaurateur, had recently moved
back to the area a;er a stint in New York City, to work with Joanne
Chang as she opened her first Flour Bakery in Boston's South End.
Save for the ghastly 1980s kitchen, "the rest of the house had beenuntouched," says Megan. "It had all the original windows, the beau-tiful doors and mouldings, and we loved that. While we didn't like thekitchen, it functioned OK, so we waited nearly 10 years to redo it."At the end of 2015, a;er planning long and hard for their dreamkitchen that would meet the needs of their family, which includesdaughter Lily, 12, and son Timmy, 10, the Parsonses were ready torenovate. They turned to Boston-area interior designer Sarah Scales ofSarah Scales Design Studio and contractor Glen Mistretta of MistrettaContracting Inc. in Melrose, Massachusetts, to help execute their plan.A;er his foray at Flour, Chris owned and operated the much-acclaimed Parsons Table in Winchester for a number of years and wenton to open Steel & Rye in Milton, Massachusetts, in 2013. Earlier thisyear, he le; Steel & Rye and is in the process of securing a location forhis next eatery. While one might assume the chef in the family is themore dominant home cook, that's not the case in the Parsons house-DESIGN
SARAH SCALES DESIGN STUDIO;;;; ;;;;; ;;;;;;; walks through the kitchen he helped design with functionin mind. The sink was relocated from the back wall to a light-filled spacebeneath the expansive new Marvin triple window. The white subway tilebacksplash, which stretches to the ceiling, is accented with light-gray grout.

While browsing the interwebs this morning, I stumbled on this bit of advice for public speakers in Forbes. I think it has some timely applications for those who speak from the ambo.
In a nutshell, it offers five important tips:
- Meet the audience where they are
- Make a heartfelt human connection
- Show respect for the listener
- Inspire follow-up thinking/action
- Leave a lasting message of significance.
Isn't that, in a nutshell, what goes into a good homily?

Next Episode of 77 Sunset Strip is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Private eye Stu Bailey is a suave, cultured former OSS officer who is an expert in languages. His partner, Jeff Spencer, is also a former undercover government agent, and like Bailey, a judo expert. The duo works out of an office at no. 77 Sunset Strip in Hollywood, but their cases lead them all over the world. The Stu Bailey character was originated by Roy Huggins in a story called "Death and the Skylark", published in Esquire Magazine in December 1952. Huggins later adapted this story into an episode of Warner Bros' ABC TV series Conflict entitled "Anything for Money", broadcast on 16 Apr 1957, starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr. This led to the idea of building a series around the private eye character.
Solo private eye Stu Bailey tries to locate a missing singer before a professional killer does.
Stu Bailey's infatuation with a beautiful woman leads him into blackmail and suspicion of murder.
Stu Bailey is hired by a government agent to keep a Latin playboy under surveillance while he's in Hollywood, but the playboy turns out to be on the run from a killer.
Jeff Spencer uncovers an insurance scam when he is hired by a woman who swears that the husband she thought dead is still alive.
Stu Bailey is hired to find ot who is passing counterfeit chips in a Las Vegas casino.
Jeff Spencer is hired by a fashion designer to protect her ex-con husband, who has evidence that would convict a man engaged in revenge killings.
Stu Bailey is hired by the greedy relatives of a silent film star to prove her incompetent so that they can get their hands on the money she is spending to finance a remake of her old hit "Foolish Girl".
Jeff Spencer is hired by a woman to get divorce evidence against her husband, but her real plan is to murder him and frame Jeff for the crime.
Bailey, vacationing in Paris, is hired by a wealthy lady from Kentucky to find her niece, who has gone missing in Rome.
Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.(Stuart Bailey)

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Twins fans, tired of feuds between Bert Blyleven and former owner Calvin Griffith, were happy to bid farewell to the upstart pitcher in May 1976, and he responded with an obscene gesture to the taunting crowd in his last game.
''I think fans that act like that are bleep,'' Blyleven said at the time. ''They're behind you when you do good, and they turn on you when things go wrong.''

Nearly 10% of households headed by a Gen Y consumer bought new cars or trucks last year, or roughly 700,000 units, says Walter McManus, an executive director at consultancy J.D. Power & Associates. He predicts vehicle sales to Gen Y household heads will rise to 3.5 million units by 2010, or 20% of total industry sales. By 2020, the group will account for 5 million new car and truck sales annually.
Every year, 400,000 more of those born between 1977 and 1994 will get their driver's license, says Jim Farley, VP-corporate manager of Toyota Motor Sales USA's Scion unit. Scion, the new Toyota Division sub-brand, is aimed at trendsetting members of Gen Y in their early 20s, mostly male.
Scion is Toyota's latest effort to reach the elusive Gen Y market. The marketer's entry-level Toyota Echo subcompact car, launched in 1999, wasn't a hit. Mr. McManus says Echo's styling didn't appeal to Gen Y, and styling is the top reason that age group picks a particular model. Toyota has lost share in sales to buyers 25 and younger, from 10% of its total sales in 1992 to 9% in 2002.
The first two Scion models go on sale this June in California, at Toyota dealerships, and it expands to other markets next year.
Gen Y'ers "want to discover their own products so our marketing strategy fits into that," Mr. Farley says. Half of Scion's launch budget will be in non-traditional media. Earlier this year, Toyota let young consumers discover Scion at California record stores. Scion tapped AMCI, an Omnicom Group auto consultancy, to give away test drives through the stores. More than 1,000 consumers participated. "That's what our marketing will be like," Mr. Farley says. Independent Attik, San Francisco, is handling creative and strategy.
American Honda Motor Co. late last year launched its Gen Y-aimed Honda Element, a boxy sport-utility vehicle. Ads from independent Rubin Postaer & Associates, Santa Monica, Calif., show the great outdoors as seen through the vehicle's rear door or wide-swing side doors.
"Honda has always done better [than others] with buyers under 25 so it doesn't need a whole new brand," says Mr. McManus. Honda's new-vehicle sales to people 25 and under were 12% of its total last year vs. 10% in 1992.
General Motors Corp.'s Pontiac brand is also near the top with Gen Y; 10% of its 2002 sales were to these young people.
Mr. McManus, who compiled an extensive Gen Y study last fall, found the group rated South Korea's Kia Motors America as the most attractive vehicle brand, followed by Volkswagen of America, GM's Saturn, Hyundai Motor America and GM's Pontiac. "The impressions made on these new households by their first vehicles will stick with them for a lifetime," he says.
New-vehicle sales to drivers 25 and younger dropped from roughly 20% of the industry's annual sales in the 1970s and 1980s to 10% in the 1990s. In the past three years, it has bumped back to 12%, which Mr. McManus attributes to low-price South Korean imports.
"Prices drive a lot of the youth market," says Wally Anderson, VP-marketing at Kia. Nearly 16% of all Kia's buyers are from Gen Y, mainly due to its entry-level Rio and Spectra cars hitting the target. He says Kia's product mix, 10-year warranty and humorous advertising attract Gen Y. To date, the marketer hasn't used non-traditional marketing. Independent davidandgoliath, Los Angeles, handles.
Saturn opted for non-traditional marketing before launching its all-new Ion small car earlier this year, says Matt Armstrong, the car's marketing director. Saturn sponsored its first-ever music festival tour last summer to reach both Gen Y and X. A tent at the festival had an Ion driving videogame and merchandise giveaways.
"We wanted to take it to events [these age groups] were already at," Mr. Armstrong says. In addition to sponsorship-product placement deals with Viacom's CBS for "Survivor" and with "Cram," a show on Sony Pictures Entertainment's Game Show Network, Saturn is still backing the Ion with traditional TV commercials from Omnicom Group's Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco.
Ford Motor Co. has used similar tactics for its Ford Focus small car line, which bowed in 1999. Ford is relaunching its carry-over Focus line this year and is expected to spend an estimated $50 million in measured media. The carmaker has dubbed Focus a success because 25% of its sales every year are to Gen Y.
Although the Ford brand was tops with Gen Y last year-accounting for 17% of all sales to the group, only 7% of the mass-market brand's total sales were to Gen Y, Mr. McManus reports. GM's Chevrolet has also slipped with Gen Y, he says.
Experts agree Chevy's entry-level Cavalier is overdue for a redo. Chevrolet is trying to get its groove back. It was the presenting sponsor last month of Primedia's third annual "Spring Break Tuner Bash" in Daytona Beach, Fla. The event featured Chevy's latest tricked-out vehicles, concerts and a Sony PlayStation 2 gaming exhibit.
When Gen Y'ers shop for a new vehicle, the majority rely on recommendations for data on make and model, Mr. McManus says, adding there was a surprise in his study: Gen Y uses the Internet less than Gen X for pricing information-only 25% vs. 32% for Gen X and 40% for baby boomers. He speculates Gen Y is relying more heavily on help from family and friends.

Loyola University New Orleans professor to receive Lifetime Achievement Award from Press Club of New Orleans
Loyola press release - May 9, 2001
(New Orleans)Larry Lorenz, Ph.D., will receive the 2001 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Press Club of New Orleans. Lorenz has been a professor in the Department of Communications at Loyola University New Orleans since 1981. Lorenz will receive his award during the Press Clubs annual Journalism Awards Competition ceremony on Saturday, May 26, 2001, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, 921 Canal Street. The ceremony recognizes excellence in broadcast journalists and public relations professionals, with awards given in 45 categories.
In addition to his teaching duties, Lorenz has been moderator of WYES-TV's journalists roundtable "Informed Sources," since 1987. He has served as president of the Press Club of New Orleans from 1984-1985, and he was instrumental in the organization of an annual high school journalism competition co-sponsored by the Press Club and Loyola Universitys Department of Communications. The Tom Bell Silver Scribe Competition is held each year in memory of Lorenz's former colleague, journalism professor, the late Tom Bell.
Lorenz uses this opportunity to reflect on his career, "I could not be more pleased, and Im especially honored because this group of professional journalists chose to give the award to a journalism educator. At the same time, I think my selection is recognition of my having continued to be at least a part-time journalist, in radio and television, from the time I began university teaching. From the beginning, I thought it was important for me to try to keep my hand in the profession, and my experience over these last nearly 35 years has convinced me that that was sound.
"Journalism educators serve their students best when they can take the newsroom into the classroom. Those who understand what we are trying to do know that professional work can be as valuable as research in informing our teaching."
Lorenz received a doctorate in journalism with minors in government and history in 1968, a masters degree in journalism with a minor in government in 1965, both from Southern Illinois University; and a bachelors degree in English with a minor in philosophy in 1958 from Marquette University.
