Talkback is a feature I use for cross-blog dialoging (where one blogger writes an article and response articles are published by other bloggers). Join the conversation with your own talkback article if you're a blogger or hit up the comments section of the participating blogs.
EC recently made a video about the barrage of video games players find themselves buried under these days and he made the point that having this number of overwhelming choices is always better. I don't think more is always better. In fact, having fewer games is probably a good thing.
A while ago I saw a TED talk by Barry Schwartz where he talked about the paradox of choice. In fact, he has a book by that title where he proposes that having a lot choices isn't better. He doesn't really doubt that in a general sense, it's good to have options. However, having too many can cause paralysis and in the long run make us unhappy about the choices we make (because we'll always think there were better choices).
I had a sense of this before I heard his talk but hearing him explain it really confirmed it for me. I don't know if having more is always better, but that seems doubtful. The analogy he used during the talk was going to the store for a pair of jeans. We all know the dozens of different kinds of jeans one can buy in a store and Barry compared this experience to how it was in the past. He'd go to a store and they only had one or two kinds of jeans. H'ed pick his size and go home. Today, he has to know so much more about jeans to even know what he needs.
It feels like we miss something important when we're bombarded with too many choices. How many things can a human reasonably consider? Surely there's a limit to this and if there is, then that means that there's a point at which having more choice is bad for us.
We can have too many games. I already think I do. And what its done is ensure I spend less time on any one of them as I spread what time I have across the lot of them. Consequently it's difficult to know every development studio behind each game and therefore difficult to know as much about my games as I want to. There's a trade of for having too many choices it seems.
Do you believe there's such a thing as having too many games available on the market?

Can electric cars handle Canadian winter?
Can electric cars handle Canadian winter?
New data obtained by CBC News suggests the range of electric cars is significantly impaired by extreme cold, but not enough to affect the commuting habits of most Canadians.
Winnipegger Ross Redman tracked the winter performance of his Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
The self-described "techno-geek," who builds circuit boards for a living, bought the first i-MiEV in Canada in December.
He used the car's cabin heater every day, and drove it like he normally would. So far, he's impressed with the distances he can go.
"Well, it performs really well! It goes like crazy, and when you stomp on it, it accelerates like mad!" Redman said Friday, at St. Andrew's Airport test track.
"I drive around the city, go to work, I pick up the groceries, go to volleyball, and do all the normal things that people do in Winnipeg, and the range works just fine for me."
Redman used the car's dashboard readings to create a daily log of his car's range.
Every time he pulled into his garage to recharge his car, following his short urban commute from work, he would note his kilometres used and kilometres remaining.
Effective range
When he added them together, he came up with the car's "effective range," meaning how far it could go on a single charge and compared that to daily temperatures this winter.
He found the car's range this winter averaged 103 km — the maximum typical distance he could travel on a single charge.
But on one of the coldest days of the year, on Jan. 20 when the mercury hit -25 C, the range dropped to just 76 km.
The car's maximum range in ideal, warmer conditions is 155 kilometres.
Mitsubishi says the finding are in line with what it expects.
"We have definitely noticed that, in our own testing as well," said Don Ulmer, senior manager for product planning for Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada
"You are going to notice some sort of drop, depending on the temperature, [especially] when you get into the minus double-digits."
Ulmer adds that an extreme cold-weather range of 76 kilometres will work just fine for most Canadians, who commute just 30 kilometres on average, according to Statistics Canada.
Manufacturers standby batteries
Neither Mitsubishi nor its electric-car competitor, Nissan, publishes winter testing results of its electric vehicles.
Some prospective consumers worry that electric car batteries will not stand the test of time and may need to be replaced. But both companies stand by the batteries, with Mitsubishi offering an eight-year warranty for its electric car battery.
Mitsubishi doesn't expect most will need to replace the battery, but i-MiEV owners will notice a 70% reduction in the batteries capacity in about 10 years.
CAA Manitoba says the battery for electric vehicles is about one-third of the purchase price and expects that will drop over time.
The i-MiEV sells for $32,000, while the Nissan Leaf starts at $38,000.
Redman says his car can be "filled" with electricity for about 80 cents a day. He figures he saved about $100 in January just by avoiding the gas pumps.
Mitsubishi says the car be charged from empty in 20 hours with a standard 120-volt plug. When charged with a "fast-charging" 220-volt plug — the type a laundry dryer uses — the time is cut to seven hours.
Even faster "level 3" charging stations, that use 440 volts, can charge the iMiEV or the Nissan Leaf in 20 or 30 minutes, according to Manitoba Hydro.

This customization feature can cause problems; it allows you to mistakenly delete icons or arrange them in a confusing fashion. If your home screen has gotten out of hand, Apple provides a built-in safety net that allows you to reset the home screen display to its original settings. You can start fresh as if you had just turned on the iPod Touch for the first time.
Tap the "Home" button to view the iPod Touch's home screen.
Tap the "Settings" icon to open the settings screen.
Tap "General" to display more options.
Tap "Reset" to display multiple resetting options.

To start, know that there is an endless amount of information out there that will help you get started with the basic rules and concepts of Bingo. Learning how to play bingo is quite easy and does not require much from you to get started.
If you have never played Bingo before you may be thinking, how does bingo work?
In the most basic sense, the game requires (at least) 3 people: a caller and two players. The game, however, is best when played with many people because the opportunity to win decreases and therefore increases the anticipation of winning and usually the size of the prize.
Simple Bingo Rules
Depending on what rendition of this game you are playing, the rules will vary slightly. For the most part, however, there are a handful of basic rules that are universally accepted and understood by everyone.
How Many Numbers in Bingo?
There are 90 or 75 numbers or balls, depending on which variation you are playing.
How to play Bingo on Paper?
You need bingo cards, a set of numbers to pull out of a bag, a Bingo Caller and a minimum of two players.
How Many Numbers in Bingo?
There are 90 or 75 numbers or balls, depending on which variation you are playing.
Can Kids Play Bingo?
Kids can play Bingo, it is a family game however to play bingo for money, you have to be over 18 years of age.
Here is what you need to know to get started as well as a few basic instructions on how to play Bingo:
- The game utilises the numbers 1- 90 or 1 – 75 (90 ball or 75 ball)
- Each player is given a Bingo card
- The card is divided into rows and columns, creating a template of 3×9 (UK) 5×5 (USA) spaces.
- The five columns of the card (usually cardstock or cardboard) are labeled 'B', 'I', 'N', 'G', and 'O' from left to right
- The single space in the centre of the card is usually (but not always) marked "Free" and is considered automatically filled
- A "caller" will announce the numbers in one of a variety of ways, whether manually or with a mechanical ball blower, which mixes ping pong balls with blown air in a cage with 5 smaller wooden balls
- Regardless of how the numbers are called, all numbers will match the existing numbers on the given cards
- When a number is called, each player is to mark the corresponding number on his or her card with a chip or marker
- A player wins by completing a row, column, or a diagonal stretch of 5 successive spaces.The winner is required to call out the word, "Bingo!" which lets other players know the game is potentially over or that a slight pause will follow as the card is checked for accuracy and to ensure that the player has not made any mistakes
These are the basic Bingo rules and instructions. It is fairly simple and straightforward. It is also very easy to learn, which makes it appealing to so many different types of people.
Classic Game Variations
There are ways to increase the difficulty of the game and make it a bit more challenging if you are wanting a faster-paced game. Utilizing these techniques can draw the game out a bit and make it last longer.
Similarly, if you want to get the game moving a bit faster, you can consider adding additional ways to win if you want to speed up the game.
Other patterns (in addition to completing a row, column or a diagonal) are considered valid in certain types of special play and may include:
In order to play the game, every player needs at least 1 card. Each card contains 25 spaces with a mix of numbers (1 – 90 or 1 – 75) and 5 letters.
- The "Postage Stamp", which is the 2X2 square of marked squares in the upper-right-hand corner
- "Four Corners", which is another form of winning
- "Roving L", which requires players to cover all B's and top or bottom row or all O's and top or bottom row
- Finally, the "Blackout", is considered to be one of the highest achievements in Bingo and requires players to cover all 24 card numbers as well as the free space
A caller will announce a number that would correspond to one of the numbers on each card. For example, the caller might say, A8 or B19. If players have a space reading A8 or B19 on their card, they would then take a chip to cover that number.
Once 5 consecutive spaces are filled on the card, usually in the form of a horizontal, vertical or diagonal streak, the player is to call out the phrase, "Bingo!" The player will then be asked to verify his or her card by reading out loud the marked numbers on it.
Once the caller can confirm that these are the correct numbers a winner will be announced and the boards are (usually) cleared to begin again with a blank slate.
This process repeats itself until the winnings are earned or, in a more informal atmosphere, the players are ready to stop playing.
How to Play Bingo at a Bingo Hall
Playing this game at a hall is fairly similar to how it would be played online, however, there are a few key differences that are worth paying attention to.
First, expect the game to move a lot more quickly. Playing this game in a relaxed social environment is a lot different than playing in an organized hall, where the numbers will be called out rapidly and you have to be mentally alert and on top of things in order to keep up with all of the number calling.
Second, once a "Bingo!" is called out there will be an assistant, commonly referred to as a floorwalker, that will come and verify the correctness of the card. In an informal setting, such as playing with friends, it would be just fine to have the individual read out their marked numbers to the caller but because of the fast-paced environment of this game, a floorwalker is necessary.
You will also want to keep in mind that no two Bingo halls will operate in the same manner. Each hall will have their own rules, their own regulations and their own way of doing things. The rules, however, are always posted in plain sight of the hall for players to read. It might be a good idea to take a few minutes to look over them before you dive into an evening of play.
Keep your eyes out for special handouts that might indicate a slight change in rules for the evening. Sometimes printed handouts are made to tell the players which rules supersede the house rules for the evening.
Here are some key things to keep in mind as you prepare to play at an organized hall or event:
- Players must be 18 years or older
- Food and drink may or may not be prohibited, depending on which hall you are playing in
- If the hall is selling food or drink it is usually frowned upon or taboo for players to bring in food from outside of the building
- During especially high-stake games you may be prohibited from entering and leaving the premises during play
- Reserving specific cards may or may not be allowed. Inquire in advance if this is something you would like to do
- For the most part, it is not acceptable for friends and family to simply sit around and watch you play. They may be asked to buy in and, at the very least, you will have to add them to an attendance card
Finally, we offer one final word of practical but essential advice. If you win you will want to make sure that you have a valid and up-to-date photo ID with you. For larger jackpots, players might be asked to provide proof of their Social Security Card as well and fill out paperwork for tax purposes.
How to Play Bingo
A recent survey suggested that there are now more people playing bingo in the United Kingdom than some sports. Online bingo has seen a staggering increase in popularity over the past few years, and with twenty-four-hour access, high jackpots and a friendly community surrounding it, it's not hard to see why.
If you are new to the game and want to know the rules, then you've come to the right place. Essentially, bingo is a game of chance and there are a few variations of the same game, but let's start with the basics.
Each player has a sheet with a grid of different random numbers on, anywhere between 1 and 75. The next step is to grab a pencil or a pen. This is to mark off the numbers as they are called out. If you are playing online then you simply have to touch or click your number to mark it off.
When the game begins, the announcer randomly calls out one number at a time and if you have that number on your sheet, then you mark it off. Usually, the first person to complete a line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally gets a cash prize. The game then continues and the overall winner is the first person to mark off all of their numbers. Cash prizes will vary from hall to hall and between online games, but the principle remains the same. Simple!

How to Play Bingo UK
If you have heard of the increase in popularity of bingo in the UK and would like to learn the rules, then you're not alone. Learning how to play bingo in the UK couldn't be simpler as there is such a large community surrounding it.
You start with a sheet of random numbers between 1 and 75. Once the game starts, an announcer will call out one number at a time and if you have that number on your sheet you'll mark it off.
The first person to complete a line in any direction will win a cash prize. The game then continues until someone completes their entire sheet and calls 'house'. They are then named the overall winner of the game and will receive a bigger cash prize than the person who won the line game.
How to Play Online Bingo
Learning to play online bingo is as easy as the game itself. Most sites require you to enter some login details first but once that is out of the way then you're off and running. You use your debit or credit card to put money into your account and then it is up to you what you choose to play.
Most operators have several games to choose from with varying jackpots. Once you have chosen which game you want to play, a debit will be taken from the amount that you deposited and you're free to play.
A virtual announcer will display numbers in succession, much in the way a traditional announcer would and you click off the numbers that you have. If you win the line or the house, the money will be deposited into your account. You are then free to use this to play more games, or you can withdraw it at any time. It's completely up to you.
There has been some concern over whether online bingo will be affected by Brexit. It's possible that there will be some changes, however nothing is certain yet.
How to Play Bingo at a Bingo Hall
Playing the game online and playing in a bingo hall are completely different experiences. Online, the calling is automated and sometimes, the computer automatically tells you when you've won. If you've only played online before and need to know the rules of playing at a bingo hall then read on.
Each player is issued a sheet with a completely random grid of numbers. The caller then shouts out one number at a time and you mark off any numbers on your sheet that are called out with a pen. It is up to the players to call 'house' when they think they have won.
Depending upon the particular game being played, this could be once you have completed a line either across, vertically or horizontally, or it may be once the whole sheet has been completed.
This is the traditional way to play, but most modern halls also have the electronic version as well if you prefer to play that way. Half the fun of playing traditional bingo is being in a room full of enthusiastic players, as it is famous for it's comical terminology.
Those that are nearing a completed line or sheet are said to be 'sweating', numbers such as 22 have their own joky names (two little ducks), and the pens used to mark off the sheets are known as 'dabbers'. It's little touches like this that make the community one of the most friendly and accessible around.
The banter between players (as well as substantial jackpots) is what brings people back time and again to play.
If you would like to know who is the most popular operator in your area or which hall offers the best jackpots, then follow the link opposite and within minutes you could be joining millions of other happy players.
How to Play Bingo Scratch cards
Here's a quick and handy tutorial on how to play bingo scratch cards. Bingo scratch cards online are very similar to a scratch card you might get when playing the Lottery. Indeed, bingo is now so popular that The National Lottery have bingo-themed scratch cards of their own.
Scratch cards are available from most halls from the place you would buy your tickets from. The ticket will have a silver scratch panel and some very simple instructions on how to win. The most common variation asks you to scratch off the panel and match three symbols to win.
There will be a variety of symbols and each symbol will have a different monetary value to it. For example, finding three rainbows may be worth £20, but finding three pots of gold may be worth £10,000. Every game has different cash prizes and different jackpots, so it's worth checking out which operator offers the best ones.
History of Bingo
This well-known game has its origins in 16th century Italy, France and later in Germany where a game similar to Bingo was used to teach kids spelling, animal names and multiplication tables. This game was first introduced to the world as a fun way of learning and was used, more often than not, in schools and for leisurely purposes.
Fast forwarding a few centuries, a man named Hugh J. Ward standardized the game of Bingo at carnivals in and around the surrounding areas of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For this reason, it is his name that is officially associated with this famous game as he copyrighted it and published the very first official rulebook in 1933.
This is a game of chance that requires little strategy, except when picking out your "lucky" ticket or card. It is a game of number calling, a single playing card and colourful chips to make square spaces. It is a game of letters and numbers and it is one of the most common pastimes in the United States as well as in the United Kingdom. Yet it is also universal.
Perhaps the brilliance of Bingo is largely due to its simplicity. The game consists of 5 letters and anywhere between 15 and 25 numbers, depending on which culture you are playing in. From this simple format, a minimally basic concept was designed that features printed letters on a ticket or a card and creates for people hours upon hours of enjoyment.
For some, it has become a favourite pastime, something to look forward to once a week, or a way to be in community with other people and get to know someone. It is a way to share space with someone, discuss important matters and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Who Can Play Bingo?
This game is a classic because it is so appealing to every age. There have been songs made about this game, ones that we learned as children: "There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-Oh! B-I-N-G-O!
When we were younger, our parents devised countless creative ways for us to play it in order to keep us occupied; we used Cheerios or raisins as chips and, if we were good, got to use M&Ms too. It taught us how to look for numbers, to pay attention to things, to tune our ears in to listen to someone or something and to match letters with numbers.
As teenagers, our teachers would play this game with us during our free time at school. We would take turns calling out numbers and wiggle in our seats in hopes of being the first one to get a straight line or a diagonal succession of 5 chips in a row, always utilizing that wonderful "Free" space at the centre of the board.
As adults moving into retirement and old age we see this game as a pastime that allows us to remain connected with others and engage our minds while still having fun. In fact, most people who think about this well-known game probably envision a social hall full of wise-minded and grey-haired seniors sitting in wheelchairs or around circular tables, laughing and listening for numbers called out, chatting with their neighbours in between.
Bingo is a game for all ages, however, playing bingo for real money you need to be over the age of 18.

Icon Quartermaster is a Custom Ural Solo that's Ready for Adventure
14 Février 2013 - Autoblog
If you've been following our friendly neighborhood blog for the last few years, you already know how fond we are of the Ural brand of motorcycles and sidecars.
Sharing a life-and-limb endangering moment aboard one and having it deliver you home safely tends to bond man and machine in a way otherwise impossible...
As much as we appreciate Urals in stock form, there's certainly room for some mechanical experimentation, which is why the Icon Quartermaster caught our very limited attention spans. According to the company, it is "based on the Ural Solo sT" and is "a bike designed for enduring the End of Days."
In keeping with that apocalyptic theme, the only bit seemingly left untouched by Icon's demented customizers is the engine. The frame, fuel tank, fenders and suspension bits have all been heavily modified, and the finished product looks awfully mean.

Last night's dinner was super easy and quick – 5 ingredient pasta carbonara!
We decided to roll with whole wheat linguine.
While the pasta cooked I crisped up some bacon. I tried Trader Joe's' ends and pieces and it worked perfectly. These are just the scraps that are typically thrown away when bacon is cut into strips. There was hardly any fat and it was really cheap (I used probably less than 1/4 of the package for this recipe!).
After draining the bacon on a paper towel, but reserving some bacon fat in the pan, I tossed the bacon and cooked pasta together.
Then I quickly poured 1 egg plus 1 yolk, whisked with salt and pepper, over the warm pasta. Because I forgot to reserve some pasta water like the recipe called for (typical that I mess something up), I added about 1/3 cup of water along with the parmesan cheese and tossed it all together.
This was an easy, quick, and delicious dish. It was creamy, salty, chewy, and satisfying. I wish I had cut the bacon up into smaller pieces, but the boyfriend said he actually liked the big chunks. Oh, and if you try this, no need to add any salt – there's plenty in the bacon!
I halved this recipe, and got the idea from Iowa Girl Eats.
What's your go-to easy Italian/pasta dish? Do you use whole wheat, regular, or a different type of pasta?
I've actually come to really prefer the taste and texture of whole wheat pasta.

We have been in North Carolina for almost two weeks now. We had to unexpectedly cut our time in Tennessee short to head back to NC on business. In the end, it seems to have been Providence. And we have big news…
We have had a most wonderful 6 months traveling the country in our RV. It was such a huge blessing! But, I have really been struggling with UC for several months now and we have all decided that the best thing for our family right now is to move into a house. We found a great house just outside of Asheville, NC. So, a new adventure begins!
I just want to clarify one thing… traveling did not make me sick. Traveling did not make me sicker. I was sick in my house before leaving on this trip. It is no harder to be sick in an rv than it is in a house. The reasons we are moving into a house have nothing to do with being sick and everything to do with convenience for myself and my family while I am sick. For example, four people sharing one bathroom when one of those people has a UC flare – not convenient! LOL! (I just don't want to give the impression that a disease can/should stop you from doing the things you want to do. You can be sick just as well in one place as another… it is just a matter of comfort.) So, live life and be happy! Chose your own limitations and don't let anyone else determine what you can or cannot do!
Here are some pictures of our visit to a local apple orchard and Pisgah National Forest two weeks ago when the leaves were just beginning to change –

She tries to go and takes Sankrant's name. He gets sad thinking about his brother. How do I tell him that Ambika had come here for her revenge and ruined his life? He stays in his room for house holding Ambika's pic. It is all because of me. She tells him that Sankrant loves Ambika. Atleast you understand this.
Ambika is in her cell. A lady constable keeps food for her in her cell. She goes out humming the same tune which Ambika had sung to Akash – Kaisa Yeh Raaz Hai. Ambika tries to stop her but in vain. She turns and looks inside her plate. She finds a paper in it which has pictures of 5 people with circles around their faces – Akash, Rathore, Mukta, Vishnu and Meethi in the center. She gets happy. Dad is all right. What a beautiful message! You truly are my dad, not that Rathore! You only will get me out of here and we will together sit back and watch the drama of Akash's family's end. She laughs at it and then eats the food happily.
Sankrant is holding Ambika's pic. He recalls when she had suggested to have their kid and again when she had mocked him about thinking like that. Akash and Meethi knock at the door and he wipes his tears. He hides Ambika's pic and she tells him he doesn't need to do that. Akash asks him about it. You know the whole truth now then why are you sitting here holding Ambika's pic? She never loved you. Why are you ruining your life because of her? She wants to talk to Sankrant for two minutes. Akash reluctantly leaves. Sankrant tells Meethi that he is trying hard but is unable to forget Ambika. She knows he loved her with a true heart. Sankrant rues that she played with everyone's feelings. She made a joke of all the relations. She never loved me. She was only after Akash. Meethi reasons Ambika dint get anything by doing all this. She did what she felt was right but she ended up in jail. She dint get anything. This is your life. You have to decide what you want to do. Yours, your Maiyya's, your brother's happiness lies in your happiness. You will have to forget everything so that you are able to move on in life. Think of it as a bad dream as she has betrayed you. He agrees with her. I was only thinking about myself. He tears Ambika's photo. She takes a promise from him that he will always stay happy. He promises her. She asks him to get ready so that he can go to office.
Yuvi is looking at Mukta's pictures on the projector screen. He caresses her photo and then takes out his phone. At Vishnu's place, he is checking out some magazine while Mukta is busy cooking. Mukta gets a text from Yuvi. Vishnu was about to tell her but stops looking at the sender's name. He is quite angry after looking at the message and keeps looking at the phone all the while. Mukta asks him about what he wants for dinner but he is kind of lost. He is also having dizzy sensations but hides it from her. He is anxiously waiting for Yuvi's text but the dizziness / headache continues. He finally replies from Mukta's phone – Hi Yuvaan. Yuvi is happy that she only used his first name and not sir. He sends another message regarding wanting to meet her. Vishnu reads it and looks at Mukta who is oblivious to all of this. He replies that they will meet in office tomorrow. Yuvaan sends another text. I am missing you a lot. Not only me but the whole office is missing you. Mukta goes to get chillies from her neighbour. Meanwhile. Yuvi invites Mukta for a dinner to which Vishnu replies in agreement. Vishnu is not feeling well throughout. Yuvi is happy with the reply. I will message you the location once the table is booked. Good night. Vishnu is miffed. Vishnu thinks that Yuvvan is making a very big mistake. If anything happens to my wife then I will kill you!
Precap: Tappu and Rathore come back home smiling. Meethi and Mukta rush to meet them. You both look so happy? Had you two gone on a date? They both tease them about it while they feign ignorance. Yuvaan greets Mukta and she again calls him sir. He reminds her to call him with his first name only yet she adds sir again. He appreciates her prompts replies but she is confused. Which message?

Who needs The Bachelorette? Ever since we heard Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick were going on a date over the weekend, we've been so pumped about this potential new couple. And much to our delight it seems as if they are hitting it off. Kaitlyn and Jason's romance is heating up as quickly as it began, and they're not shying away from sharing it with their followers on social media.
Kaitlyn & Jason's first date was Friday, but they decided to continue the party all weekend long.
Case in point: this photo.
There was also plenty of wine involved, which tells us that Jason really did his research.
We need to know if there will be more dates, so hopefully, Kaitlyn will keep us updated.

Many companies that used to have a budget for speakers are now using people from within their organization or industry to talk about topics of relevance to their audiences, and there has been a trend towards event organizers offering stage or speaking time to experienced speakers who are willing to share the costs of the event through sponsorship or other mutually beneficial arrangements between the event host and the speaker who wants to promote their message or business.
1. A Great Way To Get Started
Running events you can control the experience, marketing and schedule, and hone your skills. Be clear on who your target market is and start building relationships. Also consider paying to be a sponsor or speaker at events that have your target market.
Successful speakers are either marketing themselves, or have a team doing it for them. Unless you're a celebrity expert already, you're going to have to invest your time, focus or budget to get known, so there's a good case for investing to be one of the speakers at other's events.
2. Access to Better Speaking Opportunities
There are events with large audiences, celebrity speakers, media and extensive marketing. Unless you're known as one of the top experts in your industry or an established speaker your best bet is to seek out opportunities to sponsor, exhibit or invest in your time on stage to help you build your international speaking career faster. Take pictures, video and make the most of it. Make sure your presentation is well planned and compels the audience to connect. At www.celebrityexperts.com you'll find free trainings on this.
- Make a Lot More Money
With celebrity status you can be paid top dollar as a speaker. But most speakers who actually work out the preparation, attendance and travel time, and the inconvenience of a schedule set to other people's agenda's, will see they actually aren't being paid that much. Learn how to maximize your time on stage, interviews and online presentations and you can make impressive financial gains for your business. Persuasive Presentations could make you a fortune, and turn you into an asset to many businesses.
- Greater Access to the Attendees
Being a sponsor/exhibitor at an event can give you days of face-to-face sales conversation opportunities. You can get lucky and find you are one of a small number of booths. Combine this with the power of being a memorable speaker at the event, and having your information printed forever in the event materials, and you'll see that this is how to make the most of your time at a conference or event.
- Powerful Branding Opportunity
Many events are marketed for months before and after, take a lot of organizing and funding, and attract large amounts of people. Look for events that are synergistic with your business, brand and target client base and see if they offer sponsorship, speaking, affiliate promotion or other ways you can get involved. You can benefit from all the hard work and investment going into the event, with a fraction of the risk, work and cost, collect contacts, build your database, and leverage the relationship for years to come.
- Celebrity Attachment Opportunities
Many events feature Celebrity and Authority figure speakers, and as a fellow speaker and sponsor you have the opportunity to connect with them, be photographed with them, film videos together, set up interviews, tell them about your business, and use your association for as long as it makes sense to in your marketing. The cost of sponsoring one event could be returned many times over in this way.
- Build Relationships with Event Hosts & Organizers
Be a supportive and professional sponsor or speaker and you could build long term, mutually rewarding relationships with companies and event organizers who may be hosting multiple events, and know others who are also booking speakers on a regular basis. This is how successful speaking careers evolve, through relationships and showing up as an asset to their events.
- Build Relationships with Highly Targeted Audiences
Building up your own client or database can take years and cost a fortune, so who can you align with who already has your target audience?
- Advantage over your Competition
While your competitors are spending a fortune on advertising, PR or wondering how to get in front of their target market in today's competitive market, you can be building your brand and getting in front of thousands of your target market in a way that's very affordable and highly productive. The great news is that the more you do this, the better you get at it.
- Generally A Tax Deductible Expense, and May Qualify For Grants
Don't go to conferences and sit in the audience, when you could be on the stage being one of the presenters or at a booth meeting large numbers of attendees. As a sponsor of an event you are generally more likely to qualify for government grants, tax deductions on more of your expenses, as well as all of the above, and sometimes a dollar saved is worth more than double a dollar earned!

Managing expectations in any relationships is key for its long-term growth… wouldn't you say?
It's no different when it comes to your relationship with the healthcare facilities and organizations that you or your loved ones come in contact with.
So I want to touch on a few topics of interest in reference to things you need to know when it comes to making sure you are putting your health in the best hands!
Especially at a time when everyone is so vulnerable to scams, fraud, and all sorts of medical negligence and carelessness.
Seniors however face a much larger risk than the rest of us. Perhaps because they tend to have their money mostly in cash and easily accessible…
But what may come as a surprise is that according to the The National Council on Aging (NCOA) it's not always strangers who carry out these crimes…
…unfortunately OVER 90 PERCENT of all reported elder abuse and fraud is committed by an older person's own family members, most often their adult children, followed by grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and other people in close social proximity.
This isn't your case of course… you probably don't even know anyone who would do something like that!
Most children of elderly parents do genuinely look after their parents well being, and do so in an honest and overzealous manner (…which is the right mix… I think!)
Doing a little bit of background checking on a company isn't that difficult… and you can do most of it for FREE if you want to.
You can start with some low level, but very effective techniques…
First check out the company's website, and see if they have any testimonials and recommendations from existing clients and family members.
After that… check out Social Media… go to Facebook and LinkedIn!
Check out their Facebook page for commentaries, more testimonials, and lively engagement… definitely keep your eye on negative comments, but remember that a few negative comments are always expected!
You shouldn't judge a company by a few bad reviews any more than you would judge a book by a few 1-3 stars… that's part of it!
Do look out for patterns though…
Bad reviews along the same line of issues, like tardiness… lack of access to office personnel… and poor quality of service, are some things to keep an eye on.
For individual players, check out their LinkedIn page if they have one… The company page as well.
Next… All Medicare licensed companies have their medicare reviews available for public access.
To get the nitty-gritty on a hospital, nursing home… or home health agency. Click on the links and check out anyone of them before, during, or after your stay or receive services from them from them.
Their profiles are broken down into general information, quality of patient care, and patient survey results.
If you are in need of services, in order to find a facility near you, Florida Health Finder's facility/provider locator is the way to go. They have three easy ways to filter your searches, and the database is constantly being updated.
Regarding ways that families can shield themselves from the worse of the worse… Here's an article on "5 Easy Steps Seniors Can Take To Protect Themselves From Financial Scams and Rackets Perpetrated By Friends, Family, and Strangers"
As far as Home Care Agencies, there are a couple of topics you should be well versed in…
The first is… How do you hire a company to provide services at home? Here are 10 must ask questions you need to ask before hiring an aide…
And once you hire them… How do you know if they are doing a good job or not?
Finally… Agency Caregiver vs. Private Caregiver: Which Hire is Right for You?
What's a better way to go? …This article will put your mind to rest!
I know I've covered a lot in a short period of time… but I want to be respectful of your time, and at the same time give you a nicely packed resource you can use as a due diligence over time.
For more resources on the topic… there are lots of more articles in this blog you can browse through the many titles in this blog.
You can also download the…

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The clinical and medical insights provided by Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) can be the difference between a product's success or failure. Despite this, many biopharmaceutical organizations struggle to effectively map and stratify KOL targets – and then to coordinate activities and outreach over time to build the type of strong relationships upon which successful KOL engagement rests.
According to recent research, savvy pharma companies have identified internal inconsistencies in their KOL management systems and are working to fill these critical performance gaps. For example, to overcome slack and inconsistency, a vanguard of best-in-class companies (38%) have developed a strong core team to lead KOL management companywide.
The related report, "Creating and Maintaining a Strategic KOL Management and Engagement System," provides leaders with an evidence-based understanding of current and evolving approaches to creating and maintaining an integrated, strategically-focused Thought Leader management system.
The study examines the following key areas:
The study engaged thirty-four Thought Leader management leaders from 29 biopharmaceutical and device organizations. In addition, insights were collected from deep-dive interviews with four participants.

historic FARMHOUSE CABINETRY
Historic Wood Cabinets: This historic Lake Oswego home features a Dutch door, classic oak refrigerator, simple lines with traditional white painted cabinetry and a farmhouse table. Versatile provided all the elements to preserve the historic style. They additionally created a door leading to the underground wine cellar through the farmhouse floor (see the subtle lines below the TV).
Collaborator: Anne De Wolf :: Arciform
historic MANSION
Historic Wood Cabinets: The Barnes Mansion is a national monument. Due to neglect, only little had been changed. The original kitchen, having been designed for servants, was since chopped up and worn. All upper cabinets and buffet cabinets were restored. The decorative tile was then salvaged and reinstalled into the backsplash. The new lower cabinets and the custom island match the mahogany in the home. Extensive decorative millwork now makes the kitchen as beautiful as the rest of the home.
historic CHIC
Historic Wood Cabinets: Maintaining historic cabinets and also integrating new ones into the same space is an exciting project for Versatile. Space that was once not used but now has a specialty counter over the radiator. Full inset doors, exposed mortised hinges and fully integrated panels are all details Versatile will make happen for you.

The problem of air pollution is something that many people can not ignore. The quality of the air we breathe is important. Without clean air our lives are at risk. Numerous studies have shown the effects of air pollution and how damaging it can be.
There is no way that air pollution can be ignored. With all the air pollution prevention information available, though, the problem is being taken very seriously and efforts are being increased to help prevent air pollution.
Environmental Effects
Air pollution prevention information will often explain the effects of air pollution. Understanding how the world is affected by pollution enables people to better undersatnd why prevention is so important and is a driving force behind getting people to stop polluting activities.
The environmental effects of air pollution are greatly seen. The greenhouse effects and problems with the ozone layer are directly related to air pollution. The pollutants in the air get trapped within the earths atmosphere causing a build up and therefore resulting in the greenhouse effect which causes climate changes and other issues with weather and temperature.
Pollutants causing a hole in the ozone layer also have a negative effect upon our climate. Things such as acid rain are also contributed t air pollution. This is a concern since rain provides for a major source of the worlds drinking water. Contaminated rain means contaminated drinking water.
Health Effects
The health effects of air pollution are something to worry about. Air pollution is harmful to everyone, but people with respiratory problems and children are at the greatest risk of harm form air pollution.
Children are at the greatest risk since they tend to be outside more. Additionally, they are growing and developing and the introduction of pollution into their bodies can cause serious effects.
Some of the main health effects from air pollution are cardiopulmonary disease, pneumonia, allergies, asthma, low birth rates and various other respiratory aliments. Air pollution prevention information shows that long term exposure to polluted air will result in some type of health problem.
Learning to Prevent
The best use for air pollution prevention information is not to scare people into not polluting. Air pollution prevention information is best used to make a clear point about what will happen if pollution problems are not recognized.
Preventing air pollution is about doing your part. Every little effort to stop pollution is a step in the right direction. Individuals can buy hybrid vehicles, upgrade appliances and just be conscious about what impact their personal activities affect the rest of the world.

Landscaping and gardening can be a relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon. When you have Sears to help you find the perfect lawn care tools for your yard, you can keep a pristine front and backyard every season. From lawn mowers and tractors to trimmers and edgers, you can find everything you need to take care of your lawn.
When it comes to regular maintenance, you're going to want the best lawn mower for the job. If you've got a large property, look for a heavy duty riding lawn mower. For small yards with a lot of nooks and crannies, a zero turn mower is sure to get the job done right. Lawn cleanup is a breeze with powerful leaf blowers, yard vacuums and lawn mower attachments that collect all of your trimmings for you. Simple fertilizer and weed killer tools will accurately dispense the right amount of chemical every time to remove unsightly weeds and unwanted plants. Keep your lawn maintained regularly, so you can enjoy more time relaxing under the gazebo.
You'll want to clear up excess shrubs and trees so that you can make room for backyard furniture. Powerful chainsaws help you manage the large plant growth and trees on your property with the touch of a button or the pull-start of an engine. Large aerators give your lawn oxygen and help to keep the soil rich. With chippers, you can remove and reconstitute dead tree limbs, unsightly bushes and other yard debris that has built up over time. Sears sells push lawn mowers enhanced by extra features or riding mowers that can cover a whole lot of ground. Lawn edgers and trimmers will help you clear out and mark new planting spaces, or refresh the old ones. Sears has powerful lawn care tools that can help you complete almost any lawn and garden task quickly with less elbow grease.
Once the temperatures start to drop, put all of your lawn care items away for the winter in an outdoor storage shed. When it comes to cold weather, you'll want to be prepared with snow removal equipment for your driveway and sidewalk. Don't let the next blizzard keep you down. Look for gas and electric snowblowers as well as salt spreaders and snow plows, depending on your needs. For smaller jobs and storing in your car in case of emergency, stock up on snow shovels. You can find the right equipment so that you're ready for all the winter elements.
Keep your lawn in tip top shape through all seasons with lawn and garden equipment from Sears. When you've got the equipment to complete tasks easily, your precious weekend afternoons will be free for exploration, adventure or relaxation. Stock up on everything you need for gardening, lawn maintenance, snow removal and more.

United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit
October 15, 2015
DEVELOPERS SURETY AND INDEMNITY COMPANY, Plaintiff - Appellee,v.MATTHEW I. BARLOW, individually; LISA BARLOW, individually, Defendants-Appellants, and TERI HANSEN, individually, Defendant.
(D.C. No. 2:12-CV-00289-TC-DBP) (D. Utah)
Before HARTZ, PORFILIO, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
Harris L Hartz Circuit Judge
Matthew and Lisa Barlow appeal pro se from the district court's judgment in favor of Developers Surety and Indemnity Company on Developers' claim that the Barlows breached their contractual obligations under an indemnity agreement. Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm.
In 1995, Matthew Barlow and Ben Hansen formed Network Electric, Inc. They were Network's sole officers, directors, and shareholders.
Anticipating federal construction contracts in Utah that would require bonds, the Barlows, Ben and Teri Hansen, and Network (collectively, the Indemnitors) entered into an indemnity agreement with Developers in April 2004 (the Agreement). Matthew Barlow and Ben Hansen signed the Agreement in their individual capacities and as officers of Network. Their spouses signed in their individual capacities. The Indemnitors agreed to jointly and severally indemnify Developers from "any and all liability, loss, claims, demands, costs, damages, [and] attorneys' fees and expenses" arising from bonds Developers might issue in the future on behalf of Network. R., Vol. I, pt. 1 at 278, ¶ 1. The Indemnitors warranted that they were "specifically and beneficially interested in obtaining each Bond." Id. at 283, ¶ 14.3. The Agreement defined "Bond" as any surety contract issued "before or after the date of [the] Agreement." Id. at 278. Under the Agreement the Indemnitors' obligations would continue "unless terminated as to future Bonds by written notice to [Developers] as . . . provided [in the Agreement]." Id. at 282, ¶ 13. The notice provision required an Indemnitor to give written notice to Developers "by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to [Developers] at [Developers'] address" and to state in the notice "the effective date . . . of the termination of the liability of such Indemnitor for any future Bond." Id. at 283, ¶¶ 13.1, 13.2.
By March 2006, Matthew Barlow had sold his stock and interest in Network, severed all ties with the company, and taken a new job. The Barlows moved to Arizona soon thereafter.
Between July 2008 and June 2009, Developers issued six performance and payment bonds on behalf of Network. Network paid a premium to Developers for each bond. Developers later received claims against the bonds in excess of $400, 000. It elected to pay the claims in full and then demanded that the Indemnitors meet their obligations under the Agreement. After Network paid Developers a little more than $75, 000, Developers filed this action in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, seeking to recover the remainder of its losses as well as expenses and legal fees from the Indemnitors.
The district court ultimately granted summary judgment against the Barlows for $485, 646.49 and denied the Barlows' motion for summary judgment. This appeal followed.[1]
We review de novo the district court's rulings on motions for summary judgment, viewing the evidence and drawing reasonable inferences from it in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. See Doe v. City of Albuquerque, 667 F.3d 1111, 1122 (10th Cir. 2012). Summary judgment is proper "if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). Because the Barlows proceed pro se, we construe their filings liberally. See Yang v. Archuleta, 525 F.3d 925, 927 n.1 (10th Cir. 2008).
The gist of the Barlows' arguments is that they are not liable under the Agreement because they received no benefit from the issuance of bonds after Matthew Barlow severed ties with Network and Developers knew of that severance. They claim that the Agreement did not cover those bonds and even if it did, they cannot be liable because of lack of consideration and failure of consideration. They also claim that even if they are liable, the amount of the award is improper. We are not persuaded.
To begin with, the Barlows argue that they agreed to indemnify Developers only with respect to bonds in which they had a specific and beneficial interest. In support, they rely on two provisions in the Agreement. The first states that indemnification is given "[i]n consideration of the execution and delivery by [Developers] of a Bond or any Bonds on behalf of [Network]." R., Vol. 1, pt. 1 at 278, ¶ 1. The second provides that "[Network] and Indemnitor ...

Auto Accident Massage Therapy: Part of Our Comprehensive Treatment
After a car crash, it's imperative to seek treatment as soon as possible. Many times low-impact injuries can be conservatively treated by means of massage and chiropractic care. Specifically, auto accident massage therapy can help ease muscle tension and spasms caused by an auto collision injury.
Auto accident massage therapy treats common conditions related to car crashes like:
- Whiplash
- Headaches
- Strains and sprains
- Back pain
How is auto accident massage different than a regular massage?
Although auto accident massage incorporates many of the same modalities as a regular massage, the difference between an auto accident massage and a regular massage is that our therapists work side-by-side with our doctors as part of comprehensive approach to injury treatment. Our doctors provide a thorough diagnosis with x-rays and exams to ensure our therapists incorporate the correct massage techniques to fit the specific injury. Ordinary massage clinics don't have doctors on staff providing insight for the therapists to ensure the proper techniques are used to provide the best possible treatment for pain relief.
In addition, our physicians have been specifically trained and certified in auto accident injury treatment by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego's 'Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology' program. This additional training sets us apart from most other clinics when it comes to successfully treating and managing pain induced from an auto injury.
Our goal is to ensure all of our patients we help get the best possible treatment with lasting results.
What to expect when you see us for auto accident massage therapy
When you come to see us after an auto accident, we'll want to first meet with you and more than likely, perform an exam and x-ray to get an idea of the seriousness of your injury. In some cases we may need to require you get a CT scan or MRI for proper diagnosis. If you need assistance with this, we work with a network of doctors that that provide these services to help you so you don't have to find one on your own.
We're serious about providing our patients the the best possible treatment to their auto injuries and a complete thorough diagnosis is part of the process. We find that this approach provides our patients the best long-lasting results in pain relief and allows our doctors to understand what type of treatment plan is needed.
Give us a call or text us if you're seeking real treatment from your auto accident injury. Our staff will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

There is a point in the long series of youtubes on the elites of the known world from ancient times to the present which is quite accessible in what it says to readers of OoL and directly affects liberty because it is an expose of what the elites are and have always been about.
Someone said the other day that the terms Left and Right are now obsolete and that Statist and Freeman are the new terms. I'd suggest they're hardly new concepts – they've always been but from time to time, Left-Right, Communist-Capitalist and so on have come into vogue and caused mayhem on earth. The names change, the game remains the same.
The series itself is an unapologetically Christian view on the practical political manifestations of what, by any definition we would take as evil [or as something we should at least fight] but the series not about Christianity itself – it's a political/historical treatise.
This part is about Plato and republics in general. If you can get past the opening few words, which do sound lecturing, it's worth a look as his tone in general is anything but lecturing – he just presents a case:
… and this about pseudo-science:
He previously mentioned the Jezebel principle which goes like this:
There are two approaches to get what you want – Plan A and Plan B. Plan A is the Feminin or soft or persuasive, manipulative, using attraction and reason and Plan B is the forceful, Masculin, using coercion and violence.
It can be applied to anything which has ever happened politically. The series is not specifically anti-Catholic or anti-Muslim in that it's a political/historical treatise but it does recognize how politics and religion have been interwoven through history as a means to ensure power. It mentions Mohammed at one stage and his Mecca persona then his Medina persona, two completely different things. The former saw Mohammed using soft words of enticement, characteristic of a still weak position and the second used far more authoritative or even authoritarian language, from his new position of strength.
Similarly, in the early days, the EEC [later EU] trod softly and peddled lies or rather the truth they wished to be allowed known but recently, the gloves have come right off and they're now compelling nation states to do this or that.
It's the Jezebel principle and it has never altered, ever, throughout history. You might label it differently.
He goes into the Jesuits as a power organization, their modus operandi and how they were suppressed, how many arose again through Weishaupt's new organization. He never claims anything without backing it up with documentation from the time period and one motif which continually crops up is the use of words to mean one thing to the public but actually meaning something entirely more sinister to the adepts.
We can see this today with "positive discrimination", "fair distribution", "the greater good" and all the PC buzzwords employed to mislead the muggles who are, in fact, not thick but simply are not into politics in a big way and who are therefore more susceptible to being misled than would be, say, a reader of political blogs.
The names have changed – the game's the same.
And the goal? Well look at the clips.

Thanks, again Casey! We're eternally grateful for making such a huge move so much easier for us. :)"
-Justina Evans, May 23, 2013
"Last weekend we had the pleasure of using Hazelwood Allied to move our furniture in Santa Barbara. They are far and away the best movers I have used since I moved from Indiana to California in the early 1980's (and I have moved all over California to the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, tahoe, Orange County and Santa Barbara.) Everyone we dealt with in this company was professional and courteous from John McCann the president to the whole crew of Kelly, Rhea and Mile L. They were puntual, accomodating to change and took great care in handling our furniture. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

You are an amazing family-owned business and an exemplary example for all to follow. Your "love" of the community and those that make this community a wonderful place it is, is reflected in your generosity.
Support like yours, the dedicated committee of volunteers, attendees and sponsorships is what makes it possible to contuinue this event year after year."
-Lynda Lang, Chamber of Commerce President, February 14th, 2013
"The move went great. Your guys did a great job and always had the attitude that they would help with anything. I was particularly impressed with the packing job Tony did. I unwrapped each piece and better understand the experise of how it's done. Not one broken piece! We have unpacked just about everything, and Leonard offered to come back and pickup the boxes. Thanks for the good job."
-Ed and Patti Gibbs, January 31st, 2013
"Your company managed the packing of my household. It was a little complicated, as the bulk of my furniture was going to two locations in Georgia, and the remaining items were to be packed in a ship container for shipment to Paris, France. The move went off without a hitch. I found the two gentlemen who packed my house to be friendly, professional and efficient. They managed to get everything planned ofr the ship container into the conatiner with room left over. The other items arrived in Atlanta without mishap and in good condition. I now have a clergy colleague who will be moving to Paris int he next two months and I wanted to know if you might know someone in Louisville, KY area with your same high standards. Thanks in advance for your help with this. And thank again for the wonderful way you handled my move.
-Reverend Elizabeth Hendrick, January 3rd, 2013

-Joanne Sugg, November 23, 2012
"I recommended Hazelwood Allied Moving to my out of town mom who was moving. When I'd used them they were skilled, helpful and trustworthy. Even though they are based in Santa Barbara, the owner John went an hour out of his way to meet with her. I was so thankful. The moving staff were great with her and her things. They worked out a way that she could come down with the cats and spend the night in her new home and her moved goodies could spend the night at their secure facility. So the following day they came when the cats were a bit more settled and completed her move. They really worked with my mom's schedule, which was a bit up in the air for a while. When John came to discuss her move he gave her special tape and boxes and advice and just treated her like she was a very important person, which she is to me."
-Calla Gold, October 29th, 2012
"I want you to know what a great job your crew did for us on Friday, September 28th. They arrived on time, worked steadily and had us all in our new home in 5 hours! I never heard a word of complaint. They were most kind to move things around four us once in the apartment. I commend your company and its employees. I certainly woul recommend your company to any one needing a moving company."
-Anne Weber, September 30th, 2012

-Joanie Myers, August 28th, 2012
"It was a pleasure to meet both of you. Thank you for taking the time to stop by the day of our move. Everything turned out very well and arrived at our two homes undamaged. I was very impressed with your team. Larry was very hard working and efficient. We would definitely hire your company for our next move and recommend you to our friends. You're the best!"

-Susan Nelson, October 6th, 2011
"Just wanted to thank you for the professional service your company extended to us regarding our move to Dallas. We are settled and we made it!

-Dr. Amerian Sones, August 15th, 2011
"I just wanted to write a short note to tell you that I was extremely pleased with the quality of our move. Bob and the guys at both ends of the move were great. I can see why he is one of the best. He takes his time and does a really quality job. All of our pssessions arrived in perfect condition and given the destination was in the middle of nowwhere--they handled it perfectly."
-Peter Curtin, August 12th, 2011
