Remember this post the other day for simple tomato sauce? Here is a use for those delicious onions that should not be discarded. See: Sandwich topping. They provide that little extra somethin' somethin' – but you've already done the work – win!
For me, the star here is the garlic toast. The toasting of the bread provides a sturdy vehicle for the journey of the meatballs from plate to mouth. The meatballs are tender, juicy and smothered in tasty sauce. Serve with a green salad for a satisfying meal. Bring napkins.
Note: This makes more meatballs than the two of us needed for dinner. What to do? Freeze, uncooked, on a baking sheet for a few hours, then store in a Ziploc bag for future dinners.
Meatballs (use this, or your favourite meatball recipe)
½ lb lean ground beef
½ lb ground chicken
½ an onion, finely diced
2 cloves, minced
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or about ¼- ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
Salt and pepper
2-4 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a large bowl, combine milk and breadcrumbs until liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Combine remaining ingredients, mindful not to over mix!
- Form into balls of desired size; ours were just smaller than golf balls.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet/frying pan over medium heat. Place the meatballs on the pan, browning all sides.
- Place the frying pan in the oven and bake until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of your meatballs)
Garlic Bread
Mini loaves of ciabatta bread (1 per person), split lengthwise
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste
- Combine butter, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Spread on ciabatta
- Place in bread in oven (at 400F or even set to broil), open faced, until lightly toasted
- Warm approximately ¼ – ½ cup leftover simple tomato sauce per person and onions.
- Place 2-3 meatballs on bread. Smother in sauce and onions.

Scientists have created the first human-pig hybrids in a breakthrough which could pave the way for doctors to grow an unlimited supply of organs for transplants. Britain is currently facing a crisis in organ donation because the number of deceased donors is dropping as advances in medical care mean more lives are saved.
In the past scientists thought they might be able to use the organs of pigs, which are roughly the same size of those of humans, but could not prevent the immune system rejecting animal tissue. An alternative idea was to use stem cells – which can become any cell in the body – and simply grow new organs in the lab. But scientists have struggled to coax stem cells into complex three-dimensional structures.
Now a team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in the US has combined both concepts and shown it is possible to grow human tissue within a pig. The achievement took four years, 1,500 pig embryos and the stem cells from 40 people.
"We underestimated the effort involved," said lead investigator Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, of the Salk Institute's Gene Expression Laboratory. "This is an important first step. Our next challenge is to guide the human cells into forming a particular organ in pigs. "The ultimate goal is to grow functional and transplantable tissue or organs."

The East Branch Delaware River mainstem watershed is located within the Town of Middletown in Delaware County. The Village of Margaretville is the only population center within this sub-basin.
The East Branch mainstem is a sixth order stream. Huckleberry Brook, Bull Run, Dry Brook, Hubbell Hill Hollow, Batavia Kill, and numerous unnamed tributaries enter the East Branch mainstem. Tributaries that are near highly populated areas are more likely to
have been straightened and maintained. The drainage area of East Branch mainstem is approximately 25.76 square miles and the stream is 9.8 stream miles long from the confluence with the Batavia Kill to the high water mark of the Pepacton Reservoir. The
East Branch mainstem valley is generally broad. The land is predominately forested along the majority
of the mainstem, with some built-up
and/or brush areas. The average annual rainfall in the watershed can range from 35-39 inches/year.
CLICK HERE to access the East Branch Mainstem portion of the EAST BRANCH DELAWARE STREAM MANAGEMENT PLAN (scroll to page #93)
The possibilities of better (and better-promoted) access are endless throughout the stretch above, through, and below the Village of Margaretville.

Sheep Huddle Up Before Rain or Snow
I always thought that sheep are smarter than we give them credit for. These woolly coated beauties are known for spreading out on the farm to graze, but seem to occasionally draw into tight huddles. The tale, which farmers have sworn by for centuries, insists that sheep have a sixth sense that alerts them to approaching rain or snow, so they gather in a tight group to put all that wool to good use and stay warm. Incidentally, doing so also makes it easier for them to be herded. However, this is another classic example of animal behavior that has yet to be conclusively proved [source: DeBroder].
Incidentally, this seems to be the least disgusting of all sheep-related weather prediction theories. Sheep farmers in Iceland long believed that heavy rain can be expected if their charges urinate more often than normal in the pen. They also credit the color of said urine with having weather-predicting capabilities, with sunny yellow pee foretelling nice weather and gray calling for a rainy day [source: McMahon]. At the risk of being juvenile ... ewwwww.

memoriam: Myra Lappin
Born and raised in Oklahama, Lappin earned a master's degree in public health at Yale University and later a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio. She joined SFSU in 1987 after serving as associate director of the student health program at Cal State Hayward.
"Myra's untimely death is a great loss to the University," said President Robert A. Corrigan. "She was a dynamo. With energy and zeal, she made our student health center one of the best in the nation. Her approach to health was comprehensive. She saw health education as an important function of Student Health Service and led the development of workshops, wellness clinics and other activities designed to address college students' particular needs and concerns.
"In the years to come, tens of thousands of San Francisco State University students who never knew Myra Lappin will experience the results of her dedication to their health," Corrigan said. "We grieve with her family and friends at the loss of this remarkable woman."
Lappin was an expert and a leader in the fields of women's health and sexually transmitted diseases. She also served as chair of the directors of CSU student health centers.
"Myra was our leader, our mentor and our visionary," said Dr. Marie Schafle, acting director of the Student Health Service. "She was nationally respected for her vision and tenacity in the service of student health. We remember her as a person who helped us all through the difficulties of funding and programming and encouraged us in developing innovative programs for our students and our campus. On a personal level, there are few of us who did not know her as a confidant and mentor in times of trouble or challenge."
Lappin, a Portola Valley resident, is survived by her husband Mickey Gotskind, and children Aaron and Toby.

memoriam: Malonga Casquelourd
Casquelourd, a dancer, choreographer, drummer, singer and acrobat, brought the dance and music of his native Congo to the United States and SFSU. In addition to teaching Black Dance Experience, a course cross-listed in both the Black Studies and Dance departments and part of the College of Behavioral and Social Science's African Area Studies Program, Casquelourd directed his own dance group, Fua Dia Congo.
A master of dances from the Republic of Congo and other central African
countries, Casquelourd first gained international attention with the
National Congolese Dance Company. He went on to work as choreographer
and principal performer with Le Ballet Diaboua in Paris, and after moving
to the United States, he co-founded Tanawa, the first central African
dance company in the United States. He also helped found the San Francisco
Ethnic Dance Festival. Held this year six days after his death, it featured
several tributes to him.
"Always a smile on his face, always listening with his heart, a dear friend. It is our hope that the ancestors will guide Malonga Auguste Casquelourd in his Osirian journey."
Aguibou Yansane, professor of international relations and Black studies, wrote the following about Casquelourd:
"Malonga comes originally from Congo-Brazzaville, a highly politicized nation-state with a strong tradition of intellectual and ideological debate, but which has had a bloody experience since 1997. While the domestic economy has been severely depressed throughout the 1990s, because of a combination of financial crisis and political upheaval, the oil industry has continued to expand because of offshore exploitation. In a country where ethnic and regional loyalties have been the main determinants of political loyalty for the past seven years, Malonga and his intellectual and artistic fiends have been working silently but effectively first, towards reconstruction efforts, and second, for a democratic and pluralistic legitimacy, which will not only include all the groups, but also will provide them equality and social justice. That is Malonga 's intellectual legacy."
Contributions for the family are appreciated. You can deposit directly into the Malonga Casquelourd Trust Fund and any Branch of the Wells Fargo Bank.

Keynesians in the White House
President Bush is considering a "stimulus package" to boost the U.S. economy. But the idea that the government should be trying to manipulate short‐term economic performance with fiscal policy is very misguided.
The Washington Post today quotes a Bush advisor: "What everyone's looking at is what is the fastest way to get money out there." Huh? Where does the advisor think the money is going to come from? This stimulus concept is Keynesian mythology and should have been buried decades ago.
What Bush and Congress should consider are long‐term, permanent changes to the tax code to make the economy more productive, such as a corporate tax rate cut or more favorable treatment for capital investment. If that helps in the short‐term, that's good, but spurring long‐term growth in the economy is far more important than worrying about temporary ups and downs.

"Who would build the roads?"
This is one of the most commonly asked questions directed towards Libertarians. People tend to ask this because it seems like the construction and maintenance of roads is the most obvious reason to justify taxation; after all, if there was no state or property tax, who would maintain the roads? As Libertarians, it is important that we have answers ready to go. While most of the ideas are easy to fathom, there are limited case studies to support Libertarian ideology. Still, when someone poses a simple question like this all we need to do is present an actual solution. Remember, they just want an example of who would build the roads. Anything beyond that example would merely be arguing semantics. I have put together a list of ideas that you can use next time someone asks you this easy to answer question.
Let's start with neighborhoods. The best part about this area is that most questions to Libertarians can be answered using this same proposition. Homeowner's associations are a great idea to combat sidewalks, parks, police, and roads! When a neighborhood is developed, let's say by Buddy's Bakery, an association is put in place. People can come into Buddy's neighborhood and purchase the home to live in or rent out. Either way, the homeowner is paying Buddy's association instead of the government. Included in this association is an agreement containing specifics on the roads, parks, security, etc. Also, Buddy now has a responsibility for the upkeep of the neighborhood as it is a direct reflection of his business. This creates a voluntary place to live where people freely enter into contracts and benefit without government involvement.
Let's take another example outside of the neighborhood. Frieda's Flowers has been suffering because there is not an easy way to get to her business. In one final attempt, she decides to build a road. This road begins to bring business her way. Next, another business opens up on Freida's road and pays Frieda a monthly fee to use the road, under the agreement that she won't toll the road. Not only has Frieda found a way to pay for the upkeep of the road, but her business is also booming and other businesses are moving to the area.
While these are great concepts for free-market roads, many people will be curious as to the interstate freeway system. While there are programs like adopt a highway where people voluntarily clean up the freeways, privatizing is a little different. For this model, I typically bring up corporatization. Corporatization looks something like this: Horizon phone company buys the Idaho section of I-84. Horizon now has the availability to sell advertising and toll the roadways. A good way to do this is to sell road passes that are a one time purchase for daily, monthly, yearly, etc. pass that allows them to use said road. They also take on the responsibility of maintaining the road. The quality of the road directly affects the image of Horizon phone company.
When I begin to tie this all together, I talk about combining some of the ideas. Say you buy a car from Carl's Cars. Carl might have a deal where a yearly pass to Horizon's road systems are included. Also, you buy a house in Buddy's Bakery neighborhood where your quarterly homeowner's association fees include a pass to Horizon's road systems. Perhaps Horizon has benefits to having a yearly pass as opposed to a monthly pass where the pass holder receives benefits similar to an AAA member, or Horizon cell phones, Daniel's Debt Collection, and Sarah's Silver Shop all pair up to offer a discounted pass to all their road systems. Once government is out of the way, the possibilities for the free market become endless.
Typically the next question people might ask is: "Well, if this is so great, then why hasn't it been done before?" That's a great question! Private roads helped build early America. Even in the 19th century, 2,000 companies financed, built, and operated toll roads. Lanes today, such as the one on California state highway 91, have been privately built. However, it is not just America that has a history of building private roadways. Hong Kong, during a deep budget deficit in 2003, decided to move towards several methods of privatization, including some roads, and now ranks as the #1 country by the Heritage Foundation. Also, France's A86 highway tunnels are completely self-funded through the private sector, and the Eurasian Tunnel Project was funded privately through a Build Operate Transfer model. The private sector is even more efficient on saving countries like Brazil, 20%, and Columbia, 50%, on their maintenance costs.
Keep in mind that this is not an end-all. People will come up with other questions like, for example, how would a bus or bike system work? Questions like this, and the ones I have examined, really only necessitate sitting down and laying things out to come up with an idea. The concepts enumerated above are not meant to be fought over. Instead, they are simply used to make people think when they ask a question. Most of the time many tend to assume that we haven't thought the logic through. These ideas, along with your own, are great ways to get people thinking about not being so dependent on the government for simple things like roads. So next time some says, "well then, who would build the roads?" you can list several different ways that the market can handle this task.

The blockbuster movie called Reality
by Jon Rappoport
There is always a certain amount of whining and remorse as one enters the theater to see the movie called Reality, after buying the ticket.
"Is this a good idea?" "Why did I do it?"
But you can already feel a merging sensation. The electromagnetic fields humming in the theater, even before the movie starts, are drawing you into the space.
Your perception of x dimensions is narrowing down to three.
You take your seat. You look at the note you've written to yourself, and you read it again:
"Don't forget where you came from. Don't forget this is just a movie. Don't fall asleep. The serial time in the movie is an artifact. The binding feeling of sentimental sympathy is a trance-induction. It's the glue that holds the movie fixed in your mind."
"The movie will induce nostalgia for a past…

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Can anyone help me find a recent GJ concert video posted (I believe on here) featuring a pianist along with some fantastic guitar playing? I think it was in Europe...
Was it Olli?
Was it Olli?
Matches the description anyway.
It might have been Olli, but it was on a large nightclub stage in front of an audience from what I remember, and I think the pianist was a skinny guy, and they were somewhat formally dressed.
Maybe a "Beets meets Rosenberg" video?
It's gotta be that pianist, if not the same video. I normally don't like piano mixed with Gypsy Jazz - as the main player in a jazz trio, sure, like Oscar Peterson - but this was fascinating.
Call me a dick if you like - I don't like to criticise good players - is it just me quietly thinking that the piano isn't quite "locking together tightly" with the rest of the band on the fast numbers??

SpaceX's launch and deployment of 60 satellites as the first step toward Starlink, went off without a hitch. Starlink, of course, will eventually consist of ~4k satellites in low orbit beaming down high speed internet wherever you happen to be on the planet. Cheaper and better. By the end of the year, SpaceX says an additional six launches/deployments will allow them to begin to offer internet service to Canada and the northern US. By the close of 2020, most of the developed world will be covered. A year to two later, the entire globe. Someone got hold of a prospectus SpaceX filed with an investment bank where the company said they expect their internet/streaming service to rake in $30 billion annually.
I know what I'm going to do as soon as Starlink becomes available in my neck of the woods. Sayanora AT&T and Comcast. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.
Cant wait to say goodbye to spectrum

Financial Information
Financing a college education is one of the most important investments a family will ever make. At Monmouth University we will work with you to establish a financial partnership and develop options that will make Monmouth a reality for your student.
How does the billing process work? When are payments due?
After students complete registration, and prior to each semester, you will receive a bill with a due date. The fall semester bill is due in early August, and the spring semester bill is due in early December. If for some reason you do not receive a bill, you should call the Office of the Bursar to make payment arrangements. Students can view their account at WEBAdvisor
How can students pay their bill? Is it necessary to return the bill if there is a zero balance?
If your bill confirms that you do not owe anything, you do not need to return the bill. However, if the bill reflects an amount due, please return payment and/or comment with documentation of other funding (e.g., payment plan, outside scholarship).
Payments can be made by going to www.monmouth.edu/payment and choosing Electronic Payment Gateway. You also have the option of paying in person at the cashier's office, or calling the cashier's office at 732-571-7540 with your credit card information.
If my student needs to withdraw from the University during the academic year, will tuition be refunded?
Tuition, fees, and room and board will be refunded in accordance with the University refund policy, found in the undergraduate catalog, the student handbook, or online at. Students who withdraw from the University and who receive financial aid are also subject to federal refund policies, which may require that all or a portion of the student's financial aid be returned to the appropriate aid program. It is important that students familiarize themselves with the University's withdrawal and refund policy prior to making changes to their schedule.
Are there deferred tuition plans?
Monmouth University offers a monthly tuition payment plan through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Information about the plan is available through our online Welcome Center, from the University Bursar, or on the Tuition Management Systems Web site.
Where can information on financial aid and scholarships be found?
The Financial Aid Office provides information, applications, and counseling related to all types of financial assistance. The office is located on the first floor of Wilson Hall, room 108, and is open from 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You may reach the financial aid staff by phone at 732-571-3463 or via e-mail at email@example.com. Click here to visit the Financial Aid Office Web site. Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook to get more information on the financial aid process, scholarship opportunities, deadlines, reminders, and much more!
What scholarships and grants are available?
The primary source of scholarship assistance comes from the University's academic grant and scholarship program. Awards are made to incoming first-year and transfer students by the Office of Undergraduate Admission and are based upon a review of the student's academic record and SAT or ACT scores. (Test score requirement does not apply for transfer students.) Additionally, the University offers a limited amount of funding based on financial need, as determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A small number of endowed and sponsored scholarships are also available as the result of the generosity of donors to the University. The Financial Aid Office awards those scholarships to students who most closely meet eligibility criteria established by the donor; there is no separate application process. Monmouth University also participates in all federal and New Jersey aid programs. Detailed descriptions of all scholarship and grant opportunities for Monmouth students are available in the undergraduate catalog and on the Financial Aid Web page of the University's Web site. Students are also encouraged to research scholarships and grants available from outside, private sources. They may do so either using an Internet search engine, such as www.fastweb.com, or by reviewing information compiled and maintained on the Financial Aid Office Web site.
How is financial aid credited to a student's account?
Once the Financial Aid Office has confirmed that the student meets the eligibility criteria (e.g., registration status, housing status, federal and state verification criteria, signed promissory notes, etc.) upon which each award is based, the funds will be electronically posted to the student's account. Generally, funds are credited approximately two weeks after the beginning of the semester. Note that Federal Work-Study awards are not applied to a student's account since awardees are paid on an hourly basis directly through the biweekly payroll system.
What types of loans are available?
Several types of low- or no-interest loans from a variety of sources are available to students and parents and will be suggested on the student's financial aid award letter. Students may borrow through either the Direct Loan, Perkins, or alternative loan programs, while parents may borrow through the federal PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) or alternative loan programs. Detailed information regarding these funding sources is available in the undergraduate catalog and on the University's financial aid Web site.
Monmouth University will create or mail promissory notes for the Perkins and Direct loans suggested in a student's financial aid package; the student and/or parents do not need to independently seek out lenders and loan applications. Typically, promissory notes will be mailed to students during the months of July and August. Alternative or PLUS loan borrowers will complete an online application process.
Must an aid application be filed every year?
Yes. Students are required to file a FAFSA each year for both need-based programs and non-need-based loans. Renewal notices are sent by the University and government agencies late in the calendar year. Applications cannot be filed prior to January 1 for the next fall semester. Students who receive the TAG grant must reapply before June 1 each year.
Will financial aid be renewed?
Renewal of aid is contingent upon satisfactory academic progress; for most types of aid, current students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and complete a minimum of 67 percent of the courses they attempt. A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA is required for academic scholarship renewal, and a minimum 2.5 GPA is required for academic grants. A detailed description of the satisfactory academic progress policy is available in the undergraduate catalog and on the financial aid Web site.
Where can a student find out about Federal Work-Study?
As part of their need-based awards, many students are offered Federal Work-Study jobs. Awardees are encouraged to seek on- and off-campus job placement early in the semester through the University Student Employment Office. In addition, Career Services assists students in finding regular part-time jobs off campus.
Is there a place to do banking on campus?
A specialty branch of Santander is located on campus in the Student Center. It is currently open to set up bank accounts on Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Once the student has an account, he or she should use the on-campus ATM to make deposits.
Students with accounts at other banks may use the on-campus Santander ATM for a per-transaction fee of $2.00. Santander customers pay no fee. There is a full-services ATM available in the Student Center and a cash-disbursing ATM in the Multipurpose Activity Center (MAC).
There are also several nearby banking options for Monmouth students. The Office of Student Life will be happy to provide students with information and directions to these banks.
Can students cash checks on campus?
Yes. Resident students may cash a check for up to $40 per day in the University store. Checks must be payable to "Monmouth University." No two-party checks are accepted. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The University store suspends its check-cashing service the first seven to 10 days of each semester.
Additionally, there is a full-services ATM available in the Student Center and a cash-disbursing ATM in the Multipurpose Activity Center (MAC). Those wishing to open a Sovereign/Santander bank account may do so at the Sovereign/Santander specialty branch located on the first floor of the Student Center.

SRI methodology focuses Lab innovation effort
Laboratory teams are applying the concepts of the SRI International innovation program and the process is paying off.
According to SRI, innovation is the creation and delivery of new customer value in the marketplace. It's not just a gadget or new invention by a sole owner, but rather requires teamwork to determine the customer and market needs and establishment of a value proposition; identification of innovation champions and teams; and alignment of the entire organization to deliver the highest customer value.
The SRI approach is a consistent methodology for moving forward with a proposition that will succeed.
"It provides a common language for us and a way to hone our business practices so that we can take new ideas out to the marketplace and be realistic about how they can succeed," said Tomas Diaz de la Rubia, deputy director of Science and Technology. "For us, the marketplace means many things - it means NNSA, other DOE sponsors such as the Office of Science, it means DoD and other government agencies, industry and others. But in all cases, we need to look where we bring value to the customer and how we stand with the competition so that we can grow the Lab in the future."
So far, two groups of about 60 people (scientists, engineers and technical management), mainly from the S&T directorates and Global Security, have attended two-day sessions in Mountain View. One group, largely from Global Security, attended a one-day session at LLNL."They took what they learned in terms of methodology and approach and just started applying it," said Jenn Sweeney, an organization development consultant in Strategic Human Resources Management. "That tells me it's a fit. They (the trainees) are naturally using it and liking it."
The process has been applied to a number of projects. One is high-performance computing and simulation for the energy sector - to speed development times.
"Our idea is to spark a fire here," said Rob Sharpe, deputy associate director for S&T in Engineering. "I found it to be truly outstanding. It helps not only with the way you think, but with articulating a balanced approach to developing and delivering value to our customers. This effort represents a way for the Laboratory to accelerate the movement toward being a broader national security resource."
For Computation Associate Director Dona Crawford, the SRI method is an approach to really look at customer needs."It helps us focus on the customer and the value we potentially bring to that customer," Crawford said. "It also helps us think through the costs of our approach and why it might be worth that cost. Finally, it helps us understand the alternatives, which sharpen our justification for why we're doing what we're doing and how we're doing it."
The program focuses on four principles to success in innovation: need, approach, benefits, and competition.
- What is the important, quantitative, customer and market need?
- What is the specific, quantitative approach to satisfying that need?
- What are the quantitative benefits per costs from that approach?
- Who is the competition and what are the alternatives now and in the future and why are your benefits per costs superior?
Jim Trebes, division leader of the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate's Physics Division, uses the concepts because he realizes that competition in the marketplace is getting steeper by the day."I strongly believe in the process and strongly believe LLNL needs to use the SRI approach," he said. "The level of competition keeps rising and we have to continually rise to ever-better levels of performance to succeed."
And a realistic approach to a technology or program is a notion Trebes gets behind.''It enables someone to focus on what is really important in the proposed project," he said. "It also provides very prompt feedback on what you really said and what your viewgraphs really showed as compared to what you think you said and what you think the viewgraphs show. Most importantly, it develops a strong focus on the real sponsor/customer needs."
Crawford, Trebes and Sharpe are working to instill the SRI method within their respective organizations.
"Those of us in Computation that went to the SRI workshop, came back and 'taught' a couple of the modules to my senior management group...everyone in attendance had the opportunity to put the basics to practice in real time...since then, people in Comp pretty much know if they want to present the results of a project or propose a new idea they should be sure to do so in terms of needs, approach, benefits, competition."
As for Trebes, he said he's still working on getting his group to think in terms of the SRI approach. "I certainly keep emphasizing that I believe in the process, but we have not made the process part of our culture... I think you never stop trying."
Curt Carlson, president and CEO of SRI, who recently spoke at the Lab, summed it up: "If you think about your customers, you can always create value for them...To thrive in the exponential economy, our innovation processes must be exponential, too."

Bartlett's Ethan Falaniko has rushed for 23 touchdowns in six games this year.
That's more than any other high school football player in the country, according to MaxPreps.
Sometimes he pops off a long run. Sometimes he bulldozes in from short yardage. Sometimes he jukes and jives his way into the end zone.
Each time he crosses the goal line Falaniko feels like he is carrying the rest of the Golden Bears with him.
"I owe it to my teammates," Falaniko told me of his success. "It's not just me; it's everybody. I can't take all the credit."
But he is the one carrying the ball.
The 5-foot-11, 220-pound bruiser has been the lead workhorse in a potent rushing attack for No. 1 ranked Bartlett.
With 1,364 yards, Falaniko ranks third nationally. The senior running back has carried the ball an average of 23 times per game.
How could you not give this kid the ball? He's big, he's strong and he's hard to bring down.
He also has zero fumbles on 140 touches.
"I have learned my lesson before with fumbling and I try not to do it again," he said.
He protects the ball at all costs because he doesn't want to disappoint his teammates and coaches. But they remind him that he can't shoulder that responsibility alone.
They score together, they mourn together.
"Play for me and I'll play for you," Falaniko said. "When we take the field we always sing that song 'Lean on Me' because that's our mentality. That's how we play the game."
Family, faith and football are Falaniko's foundation.
He has five brothers, including little bro Solo, who currently plays in the Bartlett backfield with him. His father is in the Army and respect is the name of the game in his household.
"Tremendous parents," Bartlett coach Daniel Esparza told me. "He's really a shy kid. Very humble, very team oriented. He's very active in his church and it's probably the most important to him."
With each touchdown, Falaniko throws a kiss to the sky.
He answered questions with 'yes sir' and 'no sir' and spoke barely above a whisper. He has a 4.17 GPA and genuinely got more excited talking about study hall than his celebrity.
He doesn't care for the limelight or crave attention.
He didn't even know he led the nation in TDs until someone told him.
"It's a blessing and I'm just thankful for the O-line and the whole team in general," he said. "None of this would have been possible without them. I just thank God for those guys. I appreciate them very much."

iCLEBO : Intelligent Cleaning Robot by YUJIN ROBOT
Do you dread setting up and lugging the bulky vacuum cleaner around? Have you considered getting a vacuum cleaner robot to do your chore? Are you confused and lost with the many models out there in the market?
I hope this post helps you as I share with you about the Korean-made iCLEBO Arte.
iCLEBO Arte is the 2nd generation model of their robot vacuum cleaner. iCLEBO Arte is made by reputed Korean robotics manufacturer, YUJIN ROBOT. There are many vacuum cleaner robots out there in the market, from U.S.A., Korea, Taiwan and replicas from China. So which is the better choice? If you are after a cheap alternative and does not mind common shortcomings such ramming in furnitures, dropping off cliffs, loud noise, sweeper-only function, aimless movements, weak battery life, you can opt for China made replicas. Why put money into a device made by electronics manufacturer when you can invest in a robotics company? So why not a vacuum cleaner specialist brand? Major electronics companies are able to manufacture a decent vacuum cleaner with reliable and durable hardware. However, with robotic vacuum cleaners, you are looking beyond good hardware. You should be looking into their technology and software. Robots are mere machines if they do not have a smart software and processor controlling it. This puts YUJIN ROBOTS at the front, ahead of other major electronics manufacturers. So why not an iRobot? No doubt that when it comes vacuum cleaner robot, iRobot immediately comes into mind. iCLEBO definitely outdo iRobot in many ways and in term of technical specifications. This site has done a good comparison of iCLEBO Smart (first generation model) against iRobot Roomba 530/560/570. In summary, iRobot uses a less intelligent navigation software, Ni-MH battery which suffers from memory-effect and a much smaller vacuum pump which gives weaker vacuum suction power. What about other Korean-made robot vacuum cleaners? If you are deciding between iCLEBO and other Korean models such as LG Roboking or Samsung Navibot, make sure you check out the video clip at the bottom of this post! iCLEBO wins both models hands-down. What were my considerations? I have previously considered getting a much more expensive robot, Kärcher Robocleaner RC3000 from vacuum cleaner specialist Kärcher, but the technology is rather backdated now, although it has got a unique auto-deposition of vacuum waste into its dock. The RC3000 costs around S$1,400. I was also studying iRobot Roomba 780, but technology of this flagship model is rather lack lustre. I needed a robot which is intelligent, programmable, energy-efficient, low-noise, reliable cleaning, easy maintenance and durable. iCLEBO seemed to fulfill all at a price cheaper than both Kärcher and iRobot. If you are not sure if it is durable, iCLEBO has been tested, validated and chosen by Philips as their OEM partner, however, you will not find the Philips HomeRun FC9901 model in Singapore.
Why choose iCLEBO Arte?
iCLEBO Arte is uses a 22W motor and the most powerful one in the market. With just 90 minutes of charging, iCLEBO Arte can complete 3h of cleaning. iCLEBO Arte utilizes an intelligent camera navigation guides it on the shortest route back to its docking station from anywhere in your home, where it re-charges/top-up charge and then returns to the position it stopped previously to finish-off the job. Since the battery used is a Li-ion polymer, it does not suffer from the dreaded "memory effect". iCLEBO Arte is undoubtedly the quiest vacuum cleaner robot in the market. Specifically designed brushes are able to maximise cleaning performance whilst reducing noise levels. The suction passes through a HEPA air filter to remove allergens and is very good for families with asthmatic children. Attributed to its intelligent alogrithms and 3 independent CPU, the iCLEBO Arte is able to virtually maps its route to ensure all areas are covered, no repeating and navigating the shortest route back home. iCLEBO navigates obstacles with its 7 infra-red sensors and the robot will stop if it senses an object in its path. In the event that it meets a blind-spot, the iCLEBO is equipped with a silicon touch bumper across the whole front which feedbacks any obstacles as well. iCLEBO do not just do sweeping and vacuum, it mops as well. Simply attach the Micro-Fibre mopping plate, iCLEBO becomes a robotic mopping/polishing robot.With the plate attached, the robot automatically avoids climbing onto carpets and focuses on the hard floor. iCLEBO Arte also comes with easy maintenance. The dustbin can be removed and washed, unlike iRobot machines. iCLEBO comes with all accessories and no additional purchases are required. For iRobot, you may need to purchase additional virtual wall lighthouse devices. iCLEBO utilizes a Area Boundary magnetic strip which tells the iCLEBO "Do Not Cross".
The iCLEBO Arte comes in a simple non-fancy export model packaging.

Technical Specifications
Vision Area Mapping Technology
This video explains the Vision Area Mapping Technology employed by iCLEBO.
It creates a virtual mapping of the area from the time it starts its "home" and maps the area it has covered, such that no repeating is done, i.e. a more efficient cleaning.
Sales tool for iCLEBO Smart
iCLEBO Smart is the first generation cleaning robot from iCLEBO.
Performance Comparison
(Comparison against leading Korean bots: Blue is LG Roboking, Red is Samsung Navibot)
The iCLEBO is definitely cheaper than the iRobot Roomba 780. It may be more expensive than a good vacuum cleaner and less powerful, but it definitely does a good job leaving your floor almost spotless and ready for mopping. The iCLEBO is a worthy investment to make to relief your tedious sweeping and vacuum tasks. It may still miss an area, but it is understandable when you have a web of furniture legs around. The iCLEBO is also very quiet when working and does not disturb your sleep (provided you are not a light sleeper). iCLEBO comes with very easy maintenance. It is always good to wash and dry the dustbin. The iCLEBO comes with a modern pleasing appearance and a nice addition to your family!
Get your iCLEBO Arte today from the official authorized distributor MT18 Global.
There may be parallel imports at a lower cost but nothing beats getting a piece of mind with the service support from the authorized distributor. Note: I do not work MT18 Global or sell iCLEBO Arte.

Missouri National Guard welcomes home Jefferson City unit
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY- The Missouri National Guard is welcoming home Detachment 40, Operational Support Airlift Agency Command (OSACOM) Friday afternoon.
Detachment 40 deployed to Afghanistan in October 2013 in support of overseas contingency operations. The unit flew combat missions 24 hours a day during its deployment. Maj. Matthew Styles and 1st Sgt. Jason Walling led the unit. Styles said Joint Task Force Observe, Detect, Identify, Neutralize (ODIN) played an important role in the combat missions.
"The members of JTF ODIN would scan the area, find the enemy, and direct attack elements to deliver direct fire and precision armament onto enemy positions," Styles said. "These critical missions provided support and saved numerous soldiers and local Afghans in the area when called upon. Joint Task Force ODIN's performance record was stellar and unmatched even among the previous eight years of JTF ODIN's history."
Along with units from four other states, Detachment 40 was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. This is the third time the unit was deployed to the Middle East. It was previously deployed to Kuwait and Afghanistan.
The welcome home ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. in Jefferson City.

Just 54 years ago, the first photograph of Mars from a passing spacecraft appeared to show a hazy atmosphere. Now, decades of exploration on the planet itself has shown it to be a world that once had open water — an essential ingredient for life.
Today, engineers and scientists around the country are developing the technologies astronauts will use to live and work on Mars and safely return home.
Building a Mars Spacecraft
When a spacecraft built for humans ventures into deep space, it requires an array of technologies to keep it and a crew inside safe. Both distance and duration demand that spacecraft have systems that can reliably operate far from home, keep astronauts alive in case of emergencies, and still be light enough that a rocket can launch it.
There are five technologies necessary for a spacecraft to survive deep space:
1. Systems to Live and Breathe. As humans travel farther from Earth for longer missions, the systems that keep them alive must be highly reliable while taking up minimal mass and volume. Orion will be equipped with advanced environmental control and life support systems designed for the demands of a deep space mission. A high-tech system being tested aboard the International Space Station will remove carbon dioxide and humidity from inside Orion, which is important to ensure air remains safe for the crew. Water condensation on the vehicle hardware is controlled to prevent water intrusion into sensitive equipment or corrosion on the primary pressure structure. The system also saves volume inside the spacecraft. Without such technology, Orion would have to carry many chemical canisters that would otherwise take up the space of 127 basketballs inside the spacecraft — about 10 percent of crew livable area.
Highly reliable systems are critically important when distant crew will not have the benefit of frequent resupply shipments to bring spare parts from Earth. Even small systems have to function reliably to support life in space, from an automated fire suppression system to exercise equipment that helps astronauts counteract the zero-gravity environment in space that can cause muscle and bone atrophy. Distance from home also demands that Orion have spacesuits capable of keeping astronauts alive for six days in the event of cabin depressurization to support a long trip home.
2. Proper Propulsion. The farther into space a vehicle ventures, the more capable its propulsion systems need to be to maintain its course on the journey and ensure its crew can get home. Orion has a highly capable service module that is the powerhouse for the spacecraft, providing propulsion capabilities that enable Orion to go around the Moon and back on its exploration missions. The service module has 33 engines of various sizes. The main engine will provide major in-space maneuvering capabilities throughout the mission; the other 32 engines are used to steer and control Orion on orbit.
In part due to its propulsion capabilities — including tanks that can hold nearly 2,000 gallons of propellant and a backup for the main engine in tire event of a failure — Orion's service module is equipped to handle the rigors of travel for missions that are both far and long, and has the ability to bring the crew home in a variety of emergency situations.
3. Holding Off the Heat. The farther a spacecraft travels in space, the more heat it will generate as it returns to Earth. Getting back safely requires technologies that can help a spacecraft endure speeds 30 times the speed of sound and heat twice as hot as molten lava or half as hot as the Sun. Orion's advanced heat shield, made with a material called AVCOAT, is designed to wear away as it heats up. It is the largest of its kind ever built and will help the spacecraft withstand temperatures around 5,000 °F during re-entry though Earth's atmosphere. A thermal protection system, paired with thermal controls, will protect Orion during periods of direct sunlight and pitch black darkness while its crews will comfortably enjoy a safe and stable interior temperature of about 77 °F.
4. Radiation Protection. As a spacecraft travels on missions beyond the protection of Earth's magnetic field, it will be exposed to a harsher radiation environment than in low-Earth orbit, with greater amounts of radiation from charged particles and solar storms that can cause disruptions to critical computers, avionics, and other equipment. Humans exposed to large amounts of radiation can experience both acute and chronic health problems ranging from near-term radiation sickness to the potential of developing cancer in the long term.
Orion is equipped with four identical computers that each are self-checking, plus an entirely different backup computer to ensure it can still send commands in the event of a disruption. It also has a makeshift storm shelter below the main deck of the crew module. In the event of a solar radiation event, NASA has developed plans for crew to create a temporary shelter inside using materials onboard. A variety of radiation sensors will also be onboard to help scientists better understand the radiation environment far away from Earth.
5. Constant Communication and Navigation. Spacecraft venturing far from home go beyond the Global Positioning System (GPS) in space and above communication satellites in Earth orbit. To talk with mission control in Houston, Orion will use all three of NASA's space communications networks. As it rises from the launch pad and into cislunar space, Orion will switch from the Near Earth Network to the Space Network, and finally to the Deep Space Network that provides communications for some of NASA's most distant spacecraft.
Orion is also equipped with backup communication and navigation systems to help the spacecraft stay in contact with the ground and orient itself if primary systems fail. The backup navigation system, a relatively new technology called optical navigation, uses a camera to take pictures of the Earth, Moon, and stars and autonomously triangulate Orion's position from the photos.
Hazards of Life in Space
A human journey to Mars offers an inexhaustible amount of complexities. NASA's Human Research Program has determined five hazards of human spaceflight; however, these hazards do not stand alone. They can feed off one another and exacerbate! effects on the human body. Various research platforms including the International Space Station, as well as field tests in locations that have physical similarities to Mars, give NASA insight into how the human body and mind might respond during extended trips into space.
1. Radiation. Radiation is not only stealthy but is considered one of the most menacing of the five hazards. Above Earth's natural protection, radiation exposure increases cancer risk, damages the central nervous system, can alter cognitive function, reduce motor function, and cause behavioral changes. To learn what can happen above low-Earth orbit, NASA studies how radiation affects biological samples on the ISS, which lies just within Earth's protective magnetic field. Deep space vehicles will have significant protective shielding, dosimetry, and alerts. Research is also being conducted in the field of medical countermeasures such as pharmaceuticals to help defend against radiation.
2. Isolation and Confinement. Behavioral issues among groups of people in a small space over a long period of time, no matter how well trained they are, are inevitable. Crews will be carefully chosen, trained, and supported to ensure they can work effectively as a team for months or years in space. The more confined and isolated humans are, the more likely they are to develop behavioral or cognitive conditions such as a decline in mood, cognition, morale, or interpersonal interaction; sleep disorders; depression; fatigue; and boredom. Research is being conducted in workload, light therapy for circadian alignment, phase shifting, and alertness.

We've been filling quite a few special orders around here, and it's been difficult for me to switch gears and get some new designs "up and going." I find it hard to strike a balance between producing old designs and playing around with new ones… Either the former or the latter takes over, and something always falls between the cracks. However, the idea of "Home" has been consistently coming to the front of my foggy brain, and a new design has recently emerged…
I've been wanting to try cutting something larger with my brand new Silhouette Cameo, and this is the first cutting of this design that came "off the press," so to speak! When I learned about the Cameo, I had mixed feelings. Something similar to how the lacemakers, weavers, and spinners must have felt when the Industrial Revolution hit and factories began making in a few moments what took them hours, or even days to create. Watching that amazing machine cut away at paper had me and my entire family standing there in awe… And in my mind I was thinking "I've just been downsized!"
But then I tried to look at the other side of the coin.
I've been cutting paper for almost a quarter of a century. Every day. I love it, but must admit that I often fuss about how my eyes hurt now when I push them beyond their daily limit, and grumble about a sore arm and neck when I've been doing lots of papercutting. Maybe it WAS time to take on an assistant. So, during the rest of March, I'm going to play around with this design, exploring the many ways that it can be expanded into products… and hopefully make the best use of technology in the process. Stay tuned!
And… A Giveaway!
The above electronically-cut papercutting
Home is Where the Heart Is
(Mounted on Lime card stock, Fits an 8″ x 10″ frame)
will be given away at the end of this month!
Leave a comment on this post to enter…
…You can include ideas for ways to expand this design if you'd like…
… And we'll have a drawing on March 31st to determine the winner!

Hit Alert!: 'One Last Time' by Agnes.Posted: June 5, 2012 Filed under: Sweden | Tags: Agnes Carlsson, One Last Time Leave a comment
We're a bit late to this party but we could not let pass a mention of the incredible Agnes Carlsson's much-awaited return to pop.
And what a return indeed! One Last Time is unlike anything the Swedish Dame of Dance has released before. Infact, there's no trace of dance anywhere. Instead, Agnes has served up an amazing slice of ice cool electro pop balladry. Sparkling synths seem to dance around ominous drums, contrasting most wonderfully with her heart wrenching vocal. Packaged in a stylish black & white music video, Agnes has never sounded or looked better. See for yourself:
It is, quite simply, one of the best songs she had ever released.

Over the past few weeks, I was so caught up in the (pardon the pun) euphoria of the Eurovision Song Contest that the blog took a backseat. Add to that Sweden's convincing victory and 'A Song For Europe' was, unfortunately, completely overlooked.
BUT, I'm back in business and positively bursting at the seams with excitement at Sweden's fifth victory as well as the prospect of them hosting the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. Check back for my upcoming editorials on the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest and all the latest happenings in European pop.

Hit Alert!: 'I'm In Love' by Ola.Posted: April 26, 2012 Filed under: Hit Alert!, Sweden | Tags: I'm In Love, Moves Like Jagger, Ola Svensson, P3, Shellback 1 Comment
After treating pop fans to some of the decade's best tunes, Swedish pop star Ola has premiered his new, hotly anticipated single I'm In Love on P3 radio today and what a corker of a song it is!
Composed by Ola himself, along with fellow Swede Shellback (the man behind global smash hit Moves Like Jagger), I'm In Love is an ice cool piece of electro pop that combines the sensibilities of modern radio hit and Ola's own unique, exuberant brand of music. That stuttering chorus is pure genius and definitely sounds like an international hit. After all those months of teasing, Ola has delivered the goods with a song that ought to, by all accounts, propel him to further stardom.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ola Svensson is BACK. I'm In Love will be released digitally on May 7th.
Tone Damli & Eric Saade 'Imagine' what love with a perfect view could have been.Posted: April 22, 2012 Filed under: Norway, Sweden | Tags: Eric Saade, Imagine, J-Son, Jason Gill, Leslie Tay, Look Back, Looking Back, Tone Damli Leave a comment
It's a match made in Scandinavian pop heaven. Norwegian songstress Tone Damli has teamed up with Swedish heartthrob Eric Saade on a brand new track that is to be featured on Tone's upcoming album 'Looking Back'. Entitled Imagine, it is a gloriously uplifting, electro-tinged duet that speaks of regrets in a lost love. Everything about this song, from start to finish, to the chorus and production, to Tone & Eric's voices that seem to flawlessly meld together, is pure pop perfection. Imagine has been composed by Eric Saade, along with Jason Gill, J-Son and Leslie Tay.
Absolutely brilliant. Tone has also perviously released another song Look Back, which I wrote about here. Now we have an album to look forward to that is sort of a Greatest Hits affair, recounting all the highlights of Tone's stellar career. It will also include some new songs, which we are eagerly awaiting if Look Back and Imagine are anything to go by.
Made in Sweden: Latin divas head north.Posted: April 9, 2012 Filed under: Sweden | Tags: Boys Will Be Boys, Dance Again, Jennifer Lopez, On The Floor, Paulina Rubio, Pitbull, RedOne Leave a comment
It's hardly a secret that the world loves a good Swedish-penned pop tune. Recent examples include Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Adele and Japanese boyband Kat-Tun, all of whom can owe their recent successes to Swedish songwriters.
Now, Latin American artists are jumping on the bandwagon (and the next flight to Stockholm) and working with Swedish songwriters seeking an international hit. Two such artists are Jennifer Lopez and 'Mexican Madonna' Paulina Rubio who have both worked with acclaimed Swedish composer RedOne on their latest releases.
J.Lo has previously had great success working with RedOne on the global smash hit On The Floor. Now they've teamed up again, along with Pitbull, for Dance Again, a straight-up dance anthem prescribing the therapeutic benefits of shaking your booty as a remedy for heartbreak. It's classic Swedish pop-by-the-numbers: simple lyrics, joyously catchy chorus and superb production all wrapped up in a glossy accessible package. Even Pitbull comes across ad vaguely listenable. Check out the glitter-infused extravaganza that is Dance Again below:
Not wanting to be outdone, Paulina Rubio has also courted RedOne and the end result is the Latin/nineties-sounding Boys Will Be Boys. It's a fiery little number and a bit more hard-hitting but still insanely catchy. Even though reducing the entire male populace to a pack of hounds seems a tad dramatic. Nevertheless, once that chorus kicks in, lyrical content takes a backseat. Check it:
Very few people realize that it is Swedes who at the helm of today's pop world. I tend to get alot of flak for listening to 'unknown', 'obscure' Swedish pop music so I take great pleasure in pointing out to my contemporaries that virtually every hit atop today's chart that they're fawning over is written by a Swede. And I never get tired of seeing that look of surprised abashment.
New Music: Marie Mai covers Robyn with 'Sans Cri Ni Haine'.Posted: April 6, 2012 Filed under: France, Sweden | Tags: Call Your Girlfriend, Marie Mai, Robyn, Sans Cri Ni Haine Leave a comment
French singer Marie Mai has just released a wonderful cover of Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend. Reincarnated as Sans Cri Ni Haine, the song sounds spectacular in French.
Although it's missing the heartfelt anguish of Robyn's original, it's still rather incroyable!
Melodifestivalen 2012: The stage has been set.Posted: March 25, 2012 Filed under: Melodifestivalen, Sweden | Tags: Eurovision Song Contest 2012, Melodifestivalen 2012, SVT 1 Comment
With Melodifestivalen over for another year, its nice to still get updates and 'backtrack' through the past edition so that we don't make like Peter Jöback and life doesn't feel so Hollow. I recently found this time lapse video by Gustav Nyberg depicting how the stage of the Melodifestivalen 2012 was constructed. Check it out, its pretty awesome!

Bob Bly – Copywriters Toolkit
Almost all small businesses use a variety of forms, letters, boilerplate documents, and checklists to manage their marketing, sales, accounts payable, accounts receivable, client relations, business planning, bookkeeping, and other business functions.
For many businesses, such as rental property owners, you can buy forms customized for that industry. A landlord kit, for instance, might have rental agreements, model leases, eviction notices, and so on.
Now, in The Copywriter's Toolkit, you get all the forms, checklists, model letters, contracts, and other documents you need to start and run your freelance copywriting business.
I did not develop these forms in a hurried afternoon just to make money selling them to you as an e-book. I created them as I needed them during my 25 years as a full-time freelance copywriter – and used them in a freelance copywriting business that has grossed, so far, many millions of dollars in revenues.
Copywriters ask me to share these proven business tools with them almost every single day!
Rarely does a day go by when I don't get at least one e-mail or phone call from a copywriter who wants to see the forms, outlines, and other documents I routinely use in my copywriting business.
Now, in The Copywriter's Toolkit, you get a complete collection of every form and standard document I've used to earn millions of dollars in freelance copywriting fees over the past quarter of a century!
- Marketing communications audit – simple questionnaire that helps potential clients communicate their marketing needs when they can't articulate exactly what they want on their own. Page 42.
- Copywriting fee schedule – shows you what I charge for 27 different copywriting projects including ads… sales letters… direct mail packages… white papers… and more. Page 6.
- Dear Marketing Professional lead-generating letter – one of the sales letters I used to launch my freelance copywriting business… generated a 10% response whenever I mailed it. Page 21.
- Standard copywriting agreement – the project confirmation I send to all clients. They must approve and return it with my retainer before I start work on their copywriting projects. Page 33.
- Testimonial letter – form letters to solicit testimonials from satisfied clients as well as obtain permission to use unsolicited testimonials. Page 103.
- Online copywriting fee schedule – detailed descriptions of more than two dozen online copywriting assignments and the fees I charge for each. Page 37.
- Kill fee schedule – given to clients to let them know what they owe you should they cancel a project once it's started. Page 47.
- Copywriting information kit – the fulfillment package I send to potential clients interested in my copywriting services… has helped generate millions of dollars in copywriting assignments. Page 63.
- How to prepare for a copywriting assignment – a handy checklist of the background information the client should give you – and the questions you should ask – before you start writing their copy. Page 58.
- To-do lists – the 3 types of to-do lists every copywriter should keep… and what should be on each. Page 68.
- Copywriting manuscript format – shows the format in which I submit copy to my clients. Page 111.

- Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements – ensures the client that you keep his business activities and data confidential. Page 18.
- Telephone scripts – scripts for making cold calls to potential clients as well as follow-up calls to sales leads. Page 94.

- Niche market sales letters – sales letters that generate inquiries for copywriting service from specialized niche markets including software and publishing. Page 14.
- Query letters – how to convince the editors at important marketing publications your clients read to let you write articles for them… and maybe even pay you for the privilege. Page 98.

Another letter received from Auntie Mary, and another intriguing lead.
It seems her father, Paul Alfred Lamont, used to refer to an "Uncle Al." The only name she knew for uncle Al were his initials: A. F. Lamont. The only thing Aunty knew about uncle Al was that he had a son who was killed during WW2 near Iwo Jima. Aunty said, "His mother was listed, not his father. Perhaps his father was dead."
OK, so I did some research on casualties of WW2 from Rhode Island and found one Joseph T. Lamont. He was a second lieutenant in the 549th Night Fighter Squadron. He is listed as having received an Air Medal and a Purple Heart but as being Killed in Action July 17, 1945. This date is about 4 months after the battle of Iwo Jima, but the 549th Squadron was active in the region before and after the actual battle. I need to find a source to get a copy of the incident report of his death.
I can find no birth record of a Joseph T Lamont in Rhode Island. However, on Alphonse's draft registration card for WW2, he lists a Jane Lamont as his wife. It is entirely possible that after Annie's death, Alphonse got married to this Jane and had a son. Even if this took place after 1923, the son would have been old enough to fight in WW2.
This bears much closer investigation and is yet another line I need to follow.
I think I am going to try to make an arrangement to go visit Auntie Mary and bring a recorder and digital camera. It seems every time we communicate, I find new leads worth following!

Every single day, employers are receiving tens, if not hundreds, of résumés, and on average they are spending a measly six seconds reviewing your content. So, it is up to you to use that time to impress the reader and convince them to ask you to a round of in-person interviews. The issue is how?
A Plus spoke to résumé experts from around the country to help you figure out the three best ways to make your résumé stand out among a pool of thousands. Here is what we discovered.
1. Aesthetic
When editing your résumé, one of the most important things is how it looks. It needs to be clean, visually appealing, and most of all, creative. Rachael Bozsik, CEO and Founder of The Brand Girls, a personal brand consulting firm, says your résumé should appeal to the person hiring you and should aesthetically be in line with the industry you are looking to work in. Bozsik always tells her clients that the more creative your industry, the more flexibility you have to show your personal style with your résumé (similar to dressing for an interview).
In the past, Bozsik has had clients looking to apprentice with top-tier world-renowned photographers incorporate their own images into the résumé. Bozsik also spoke of an interior design student who used one of her own watercolors as the background of her résumé.
If you are pursuing a style-focused career within the fast-paced pr/lifestyle/events industry, it is a must to include your social icons on your résumé (Instagram, Tumblr, blog, LinkedIn url etc.)
Eliminate all pictures that do not show you in the most positive light, and make sure all images are cropped in a similar fashion and use a similar filter. It is all about being visually cohesive.
But regardless of your industry, there are a few things you must do to make your résumé stand out visually:
A. Choose a maximum of three colors (unless you are in the super creative space), think black, white and a small pop of color (gold, pale pink etc.)
B. Save your résumé as a PDF (if you send it to employers as a word doc you run the risk of your résumé layout being changed)
C. Save your résumé as your full name you must realize that employers are getting hundreds of résumés ... make their life easier and include your name when saving the doc.
D. If you included clickable hyperlinks to your social channels, portfolio or YouTube you will have to use a Creative Suites program to make the programs "clickable." Then make sure they are saved as a PDF.
2. Content
Even if you're going into a more conservative field where a visually creative résumé would be frowned upon, you can still get creative with your wording. For instance, Lori Bumgarner, passion and career specialist, suggests calling your skills section "Strengths" or "Areas of Excellence." Instead of calling your profile "Summary of Qualifications," call it "Competitive Advantages." This all sounds much more dynamic (and less boring!) and will generate interest from the reader to want to find out more about you. Although it is just a slight change, the hiring manager is going to be impressed with your out-of-the-box thinking and desire to implement change.
Dr. Heather Rothbauer-Wanish, owner of Feather Communications, says that another great way to increase the quality of your résumé is to include a testimonial section. "I often encourage them to add a section on their document titled Endorsements, Recommendations, or Testimonials," she says. This allows the résumé to highlight snippets of information that people have stated about the person. For example, a sales professional may include a quote or written recommendation from someone that applauds their relationship-building skills, persuasiveness, and strategy planning abilities. Or, an accountant may include a quote from a previous manager that appreciated the person saving the company $10K in operating expenses. This section is just one additional way for the candidate to emphasize their positive qualities by using verbiage from a third-party source.
2. Delivery
Once your résumé is done and perfect, the only thing left is to get it to your future employer. Yes, you could email it to the generic email address that the company noted on the application, or you could go one step further. Laurie Berenson, certified master résumé writer and owner of Sterling Career Concepts, LLC, says the best way to make your résumé stand out is to deliver your résumé to your target company by hand to a receptionist or front desk. This is to avoid getting grouped in with the rest of that day's mail. Once they see that you went out of your way to drop off your application and résumé, it is more likely they will look at it and be impressed.

Predator Old Vine Zinfandel 2012
Winemaker Notes
Pair with short ribs or a juicy burger.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
What's good for the vine is good for the wine! The lady bug is a natural predator that feeds on insects harmful to plants and vines. "Natural predation" represented by our ladybug logo, is one of the many sustainable vineyard practices that eliminate the need for pesticides.
Predator Wines come from Lodi, California which is ideally situated between the Sierra Foothills and the San Francisco Bay Delta and benefits from cool afternoon and evening breezes, producing world-renowned red varieties. These wines are crafted for rich deep fruit flavors along with distinctive oak flavor.
Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.
Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
Unapologetically bold, spice-driven and jammy, Zinfandel is often thought of as California's flagship grape. In fact it owns this title by having the ability to adapt to the states' many microclimates and landscapes, producing unique expressions of the grape throughout. Zinfandel thrives in California's Central Coast, as well throughout Sonoma County, parts of Napa Valley, the Sierra Foothills, Lodi and Paso Robles.
Zinfandel was born in Croatia and later made its way to southern Italy where it became known as Primitivo. The astute imperial nursery of Vienna collected specimens of the vine and acted as the source of its journey to New England, carried by George Gibbs circa 1829. Eventually, making its way to California around the Gold Rush of 1849, Zinfandel found its new home, parading the true American spirit.
Tasting Notes for Zinfandel
Zinfandel is a dry red wine, though typically forward in fruit. Notes of dark plum, blackberry, sweet spice, dark chocolate and licorice are common. Very ripe examples may express a dried fruit quakity like fig or prune. But Zinfandel grown in cooler, coastal zones often shows red fruit, black pepper and fresh herbal characteristics like juniper and menthol.
Perfect Food Pairings for Zinfandel
Zinfandel is a powerfully flavored wine, mingling happily with bold food like brisket, lamb shanks, pork ribs or anything barbecued. More delicate Zins work with pork, lamb curry and even Ceasar Salad or Salad Nicoise.
Sommelier Secrets for Zinfandel
Thanks to its popularity both for home winemaking and as communion wine, many Zinfandel vines were able to survive prohibition, leading to the abundance of "old vine" Zinfandels. These low-yielding, ancient vines tend to produce wine that is deeply concentrated, delicately perfumed and decidedly complex.

STURGIS, S.D. — A South Dakota woman who recently gave birth to triplets says she didn't find out about her pregnancy until she went to the hospital with what she thought were kidney stones.
KOTA-TV reports Dannette Giltz, of Sturgis, gave birth to the healthy triplets on Aug. 10.
Giltz says that despite having two other children, she did not know she was 34 weeks pregnant. She says that when she started having pains, she thought it was from kidney stones, which she has had before. Doctors told her she was actually in labor — with multiple babies.
