In that same vein, I hope to apply that same kind of pressure
to the owners in all of my leagues by beating my opponents to
the punch in regards to personnel moves. Sometimes, reaching a
conclusion about a player too quickly is much like trying to blitz
Peyton Manning – dangerous and painful. However, coming
to a correct conclusion two weeks or two minutes quicker than
your opponents is considered foresight. Fantasy owners can be
a uneasy lot, knowing that one two-or-three-game losing streak
can wreak irreparable damage to his/her team's chances to
make a visit to the fantasy postseason. But just as it is in the
NFL and in life, it's hard to land the big prize by playing
scared. Thus, I will strive each week to help each of you become
a smart blitzer, so to speak.
In most leagues (PPR or non-PPR), the teams that possess the
top RBs are usually the most consistent and, thus, the most successful.
However, there are those weeks that shake the fantasy world to
its very core - the weeks where receivers almost single-handedly
win games by themselves. Sure, some WRs do it more often than
others, which is a big reason why the Andre Johnsons and Randy
Mosses of the league go so high in fantasy drafts. But unlike
the running back position - where a player will give us at least
a hint of a huge game by dropping a couple of games that catch
our attention before producing big-time in the right matchup -
receivers can deliver amazing statistical performances at any
place or at any time.
"Unknown" receivers going off in the passing game is nothing
new, but this past week was one for the ages. Of the 21 receivers
that posted TDs this week, nine scored twice (and Braylon
Edwards could have easily been #10). Of those nine two-TD
wideouts, four of them went over the century mark and two went
over 200 yards (Roddy
White and Miles
Austin). Certainly, few will argue that Johnson, Larry
Fitzgerald and White were drafted early with the idea being
that any one of those players could blow up and produce weeks
like Week 5. Brandon
Marshall has never been short on talent, T.J.
Houshmandzadeh was probably going to give his new team one
or two multiple-score games this year and Nate
Burleson has produced before but his production less than
18 months after ACL surgery is making me look bad (even if all
of his good games have come at home against poor defenses).
So maybe Austin
Collie dropped us a couple of hints over the past few weeks
with his increased target rate and corresponding stat lines, but
nearly 100 yards and two TDs and better numbers across the board
than Reggie Wayne? Jeremy
Maclin filling in for an injured Kevin Curtis and making all
DeSean Jackson owners furious? And the surprise of all surprises...who
would have thought that Miles
Austin would put up the numbers to make Cowboys' fans forget
about Terrell Owens, if only for a day, in his first career start?
Is Anthony Gonzalez really the #2 wideout
in Indianapolis?
I don't claim to have the answers yet regarding the WR situation
in Indianapolis, especially if Anthony
Gonzalez returns as projected after the Colts' Week 6 bye,
which is looking more and more unlikely. Wayne is option #1 and
TE Dallas
Clark is option #2. After that, who knows? It was obvious
listening to Peyton Manning in post-game interviews after Sunday's
thrashing of Tennessee that Collie has certainly earned the QB's
respect with his attention to detail and work ethic. Pierre
Garcon is the team's best deep threat without a doubt, so
where does Gonzalez fit? I'll be awaiting the answer, just like
everyone else.
If I had to give each of you my best educated guess (which is
what it is, a guess, at this point), if Gonzalez is deemed 100%
healthy in the next two weeks, he forces Garcon into a five-to-10-play-per-game
player. Collie has excelled in the slot, so I'd expect his playing
time to remain the same, even if his production drops a bit. I
do expect Gonzalez to live up to his preseason hype when he returns,
although it'd be foolish of me to suggest it will happen immediately.
Timing (and being in football shape) isn't something that occurs
overnight, so if any of you are waiting on Gonzalez, view him
as a low-end WR3 upon his return and a WR2 about two weeks after
that. Optimistically, that may happen around Week 9 vs. Houston
or Week 10 vs. New England.
Collie is probably here to stay as a low-end WR3 as probably
the best slot option Manning has thrown to since Brandon Stokley
years ago. It should be noted that Week 5's standout numbers came
as a result of Tennessee's strict adherence to its Cover 2 shell,
which takes away the one thing Garcon does well - go deep - and
emphasizes the underneath routes - Collie's forte. After the Colts'
Week 6 bye, they meet St. Louis, which means it may be Garcon's
turn to have a field day.
Of all the undrafted fantasy receivers that have hit big over
the past few weeks (Mario
Manningham, Mohammed
Massaquoi, etc), I think I would spend the most free agent
money - and have the highest hopes - for Maclin. Kevin Curtis
is reportedly on the trading block and, even if he is not, Maclin
is more of a gamebreaker at this point. All the rookie needed
since he arrived was for Curtis to become obsolete or miss some
time, so Week 5 may have just given Philadelphia enough reason
to make a move, be it via trade or a demotion for Curtis. Just
like with Collie, keep expectations in check as rookies are inherently
inconsistent and the receiver position in general is also inconsistent.
Also bear in mind that Tampa Bay gives up the big play routinely,
so another 6-142-2 line is highly unlikely. But in Philly's equal-opportunity
offense, Maclin could be capable of producing a few more 100-yard,
one-score days if defenses insist on doubling DeSean Jackson like
the Bucs did.
Just like any other receiver who goes from a part-time role to
besting Steve Smith's (CAR) complete-season fantasy point total
in just one game, Austin has carved himself a new role within
the Cowboys' offense. His Week 5 numbers probably entitle him
into a role reversal with Patrick
Crayton, if not equal treatment with Roy
Williams in Tony Romo's eyes. However, it is worth noting
he would be the #3 option for Romo on a team that wants to run
the ball. With that said, it took all of one game to prove to
HC Wade Phillips that Austin is his best YAC (yards after catch)
wideout. Austin has the size and speed to produce on the outside,
so he should be a good fantasy WR3 going forward. Bear in mind
that while Austin took advantage of his situation, he had a series
of events line up in his favor – a limited Marion
Barber, an absent Roy Williams and a Chiefs defense that couldn't
seem to tackle him - so while he's certainly worth a pickup, I
think Maclin is the better pickup for 2009 and beyond.
And now, onto the workload and target breakdowns...
For RBs this week, I drew the line at seven touches/game and
for WRs/TEs, I stopped at five targets/game, rounding up if I
need to. Again, those are hardly foolproof limits, but once we
get lower than those numbers, we are typically dealing with role
players at best, which should be available on your league's
waiver wire or on the cheap from an owner holding onto that player
to fill out his/her roster. Each position will be sorted by
touches or targets/game.
Much like Benson, Kevin Smith is showing he is up to the physical
challenge of carrying his team's running game. The end of his
fantasy season doesn't figure to provide much in the way of fantasy
points (CIN, BAL, ARI, SF), but the next few weeks should help
his owners secure a few wins. Green Bay hasn't exactly been a
model of consistency stopping the run, Seattle's defense away
from home has been uneven at best while St. Louis and Cleveland
should be opponents Detroit can run on all day long.
If the owners of Clinton Portis, Jamal Lewis, Larry Johnson or
Fred Jackson can still find an owner out there willing to relive
the glory days (in the cases of the first three players) or believe
that Jackson will manage a 50-50 split of carries with Marshawn
Lynch, pull the trigger. We may be getting close to saying that
about Ryan Grant as well, but I have a small place in my heart
for any back that can put up double-digit fantasy points in PPR.
His non-PPR totals have been less inspiring, but he's not a bad
option in either format, just an unspectacular one.
Knowshon Moreno is every bit of the stud I thought he was, but
Correll Buckhalter will return to his normal role of stealing
10-15 touches when he returns from his ankle sprain in a couple
of weeks. Nevertheless, Moreno is a player that all dynasty leaguers
should consider dealing for, as he has top-10 fantasy RB potential,
possibly as early as 2010.
I was shocked to discover Addai has moved up to the sixth spot
among RBs in my PPR leagues' scoring system. Certainly, 17 catches
over the last two games has greatly helped his cause. But the
preseason talk of using Addai and Donald Brown based on which
back matched up better with the competition has not transpired.
Addai has 18 more carries (62-44) and 19 more receptions (26-7)
despite running for 3.4 YPC (Brown isn't much better at 3.5).
Two years after loving Addai has a fantasy property, I don't trust
him anymore and I'd be leery of expecting his incredible production
to continue.
I refuse to believe that Ravens OC Cam Cameron got me again.
Two years ago, I was so fed up with the way he was using Ronnie
Brown (splitting time with Jesse Chatman), I dealt him prior
to Week 4, only to have Brown unleash a 211 total-yard, three-TD
game against the Jets. Fast forward to this year, Willis
McGahee had 31 total touches through two weeks as compared
to Ray Rice's
34. Without so much of a whimper, McGahee's touched the ball 15
times in the three weeks since while Rice has 52 touches. Certainly,
Baltimore isn't getting in the red zone as it often as it was
in the first two weeks, but it seems rather pointless to establish
McGahee as a real threat in the first two games of a season only
to cut his playing time by more than half after he delivered to
the degree he did. Rice has clearly established himself as the
lead back, but then again, didn't he do that in the preseason
too? I'm ready to hear the rest of this story…
I could almost swear Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer is keeping
track of each carry Thomas Jones and Leon Washington has during
the course of the game. I follow as many of the games on Sunday
as I possibly can and I can't help but notice that if Jones is
four carries ahead, it is Leon time or vice versa. The Jets obviously
feel more comfortable with Jones at the goal line than Washington
or Shonn Greene (despite their insistence that is not the case)
as he has scored three times from inside the five while the other
two have yet to score period. With Buffalo in town this week though,
it may be time for Doug and Washington to reach paydirt and touch
the ball 15-18 times a piece.
Much to my chagrin (and contrary to my
article last week), Ricky
Williams isn't going away. He doesn't finish runs like he
used to or have the explosion of Ronnie
Brown, but he is as fast now as he was at any point in his
prime, if not more so. Just like the millions of others watching
Monday Night Football a few days ago, I was shocked to see the
ease in which Miami was able to blow Jets' defenders off the ball.
With the frequency in which the Dolphins run the ball, Miami will
be able to support a legit fantasy RB1 and a mid-level fantasy
Wes Welker,
check. Andre
Johnson, expected. Steve
Smith (CAR) and Randy
Moss, of course. Can someone explain to me how Nate
Burleson is being targeted so much? I mean we saw his potential
in Week 1 of the 2008 season when he posted a 5-60-1 line before
tearing up his knee, the one thing that was supposed to hold him
back in 2009. As late as August, he was supposed to split snaps
with Deion Branch and rookie Deon Butler. No one would question
that a healthy Burleson tops the other two, but he isn't supposed
to be there yet. I still expect a dropoff at some point, but congrats
on landing a top-notch WR3 at the price of a late-round pick or
waiver-wire pickup. Right now, he is holding steady as a top-five
or top-ten WR option in most leagues, but I can't see that continuing.
Big Ben has been on target.
I can't help but notice how efficient Ben
Roethlisberger has been throwing to Hines
Ward and Heath
Miller. Of the 40 passes thrown to Ward, 33 have been caught
- or 82.5%. As expected, for Miller, it gets even better (29-of-33),
or 88%. Granted, many of Ward's receptions are on shorter passes
while Miller's catches are dump-offs and flat passes, but that
kind of connect rate is incredible. While several TE's are in
Miller's neighborhood in this category, Ward's rate is remarkable.
By comparison, Wes Welker's connect rate with Tom Brady is 63%
and his role isn't all that much different than Ward's. In fact,
of the 12 WRs that have 40 or more targets thus far, only the
Giants' Steve Smith at 77% is remotely close to Ward's connect
rate. I'm not sure that knowledge will help you in your day-to-day
activities, but it does speak to the fact that Big Ben is on target
when he throws to Ward and Miller and when he does throw short,
the ball gets caught.
Assuming he is not limited in any way by the knee injury that
knocked him out of the game early in Week 5, I'm still firmly
in Calvin
Johnson's corner. Before last week's one-target showing, Johnson
was averaging 10 targets per game. At that rate, he'll be more
than fine against a schedule that doesn't feature any of the elite
CBs in the league. Cincinnati (in Week 13) has shown a pretty
good knack for shutting down WR1s, but outside of the Bengals,
I don't see a team left on the Lions' schedule that Johnson can't
burn once or twice. After a fairly slow start, Johnson delivered
a performance worthy of his draft status in Week 4 and could have
easily done so again vs. a Steelers secondary minus S Troy Polamalu
Northcutt went off for 5-70-1 in his absence!) Deal for him
if you can, because I get the sense he will at least match last
year's numbers, perhaps minus a TD or two.
Don't get fooled by Kellen
Winslow's incredible Week 5. Many folks are still under the
illusion the Eagles' defense is the same one that stifled opponents
in 2008, but that is not the case. Winslow may have a connection
with new QB Josh
Johnson, but neither Johnson nor rookie QB Josh
Freeman is good for his long-term value. If I owned him in
any league, I'd be thrilled to deal him away in a package for
Dallas Clark or Antonio Gates or straight up for Owen Daniels
or Chris Cooley. I want nothing to do with the Bucs' offense.
Count me among the many people stunned by the complete lack of
involvement DeSean Jackson had in the passing game in Week 5.
Certainly, Jeremy Maclin took advantage, but it had to be upsetting
for his owners to see a complete lack of targets. Due to the nature
of the Eagles' offense, this kind of production will happen from
time to time when defenses commit all their pass defense resources
to stopping Jackson, but it is these kinds of performances that
make Jackson a WR2 instead of a WR1. Don't be too concerned going
forward as he rebounded nicely from his three low-target games
last season with pretty solid performances the next week. I don't
expect a career-best performance from him vs. Oakland, but I believe
HC Andy Reid will move him around enough to allow him some useful
numbers this week.
I tried locking up Eddie Royal in as many leagues as possible,
but alas, I came up empty when each of his owners (well behind
in the standings, I might add) asked for players like DeSean Jackson
in return. I don't think he should expect to see 15 targets on
a regular basis, but I'd be rather surprised if he isn't pushing
Brandon Marshall for the team lead most weeks, just as we expected
in the preseason. Based on his rookie numbers, he'll likely be
labeled a disappointment when the season is over, but that doesn't
mean he doesn't have value as a WR3 going forward. If for some
reason he has a down game vs. San Diego on MNF this week, see
if his owner has had enough.
I'm growing a bit tired of John Carlson. He blew the doors off
the Rams in Week 1 - which was somewhat expected - but has been
severely limited by the re-emergence of Burleson and a rapidly
declining offensive line. I had hoped he would be helped by the
return of Hasselbeck, but I think his value lies almost completely
on the health of Hasselbeck, which behind a porous offensive line
is not a good bet.
College Spotlight
Ryan Mathews, RB Fresno State (5-11, 220)
Pat Hill's Fresno State squad is well known for its "anytime,
anyplace, anywhere" approach in scheduling opponents. The
same thing could be said about Mathews' ability to strike from
anywhere on the field. In each of his first three games this season,
Mathews has broken a run of at least 55 yards. I was pretty convinced
that Cal's Jahvid Best was going to be the best runner I would
see in college football this season when I wrote about him a few
weeks back, but this junior tailback has me rethinking that notion.
Mathews has been an ultra-productive RB since he first suited
up in 2007, but he officially took the nation by storm on a Friday
night several weeks ago (September 18) when he almost single-handedly
kept the Bulldogs in the game against Boise State that night.
Against a Broncos defense that was allowing only 34 yards/game
to its opponents entering the game, Mathews ripped off THREE 60+
yard runs. So far this season, he is the nation's second-leading
rusher and has five runs of over 50 yards to his credit, which
should speak to his "long speed". He further enhanced
his stock in my mind by putting up a solid 177 total yards on
40 touches (38 carries, two catches) against Big East power Cincinnati,
proving he can hold up well when getting a feature-back number
of carries.
At 220 pounds, Mathews is already NFL-size. While he is primarily
known as a north-south runner, it would be a misnomer to believe
that is all he is. He is an instinctual runner who rarely even
gets slowed by the first defender. He runs well behind his pads,
shows good balance and is almost always making the right cut at
the right time. He doesn't show off his elusiveness all the time,
but is quicker than most backs his size and can make a defender
look bad in space. The Bulldogs don't call on him much in the
passing game, but he has shown the ability to be able to catch
poorly thrown or tipped balls on screen passes, so I don't question
his hands, although he will be asked to prove that part of his
game as he moves along in the evaluation process (12 career receptions).
He even shows the willingness to pass block, although from the
games I've seen, he'd rather cut a blitzer than to stone him,
so if I were to knock him on anything, it would be that.
Mathews has been compared to Colts' rookie Donald Brown and,
while I think that is a fair comparison, Brown is more of a grinder
while Mathews is more of a game-breaker. So while he be best suited
to run in the one-cut, zone-blocking system made famous by the
Denver Broncos because of his vision, decisiveness and acceleration,
the truth of the matter is that I think Mathews has future NFL
star written all over him regardless of whether he is running
behind a zone-blocking or a power-based, man-blocking line.

Still doubt the message of the pic above? Take a look at the latest news that's not reported by the establishment media.
Last month, Obama killed the job-producing Keystone XL Pipeline that, if allowed to proceed, would deliver 700,000 barrels a day of crude oil from Alberta's oil sands to refineries along the Gulf of Mexico.
Joe Miller reports for WorldNetDaily that Obama's war against U.S. energy independence continues unabated this month with a foreign-aid program that directly threatens Alaska's sovereign territory. The Obama administration is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians.
Miller should know because he is an Alaskan. More than that, this is the same Joe Miller who was the 2010 Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate from Alaska. A West Point graduate, decorated combat veteran from the first Gulf War, and former judge, Miller holds a law degree from Yale and an advanced economics degree from the University of Alaska.
Miller continues:
"The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton.
The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition – but the State Department doesn't seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangell, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangell became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangell are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser – it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it.
The Obama administration must stop the giveaway immediately.
[...] This is not a new issue. In fact the Bush and Clinton administrations are directly at fault for the same inaction. A maritime agreement negotiated by the U.S. State Department set the Russian boundary on the other side of the disputed islands, but no treaty has ratified this action. Consequently, it is within the president's power to stop this giveaway. The Alaska delegation's failure to put pressure on the administration is inexplicable. State Department Watch, an organization that assisted with this article, has confronted each administration and is currently confronting the Obama administration — and has been met by silence. I'm hoping this piece will help reinvigorate efforts to stop this handover."

Hidden Cameras Catch Them Red Handed Hidden cameras can be used at any place, moncler which requires secret monitoring. Hidden security cameras do not work as a deterrent device, moncler as these cameras are hidden and others may not know that they are being watched through a camera. You can hide these security cameras anywhere like inside a book or a flower vase and even in a soft toy. Hidden cameras are very efficient in capturing vandalism. These cameras are also used to identify criminals. Hidden cameras are useful in banks, offices, shops, countries, home, businesses etc. Some of the places where hidden Wilbert Montgomery Jersey cameras are used efficiently are as follows: Hidden cameras can be very helpful in home also. If both the parents are working, leaving a kid with a babysitter is not safe.

Hidden cameras help in catching the criminal or the suspect red handed. Thieves usually know about the visible cameras and can escape them but may not Matthew Slater Jersey know about the place of hidden camera and can be caught easily. Wireless hidden cameras are very common. Wireless security cameras are very convenient to use and can be placed anywhere. These cameras are flexible and hence allow efficient monitoring. The advantage of hidden camera is it that saves you from the hassles of wires. Wireless hidden cameras are ready to use and require no installation. But the problem comes when constant monitoring is required, as wireless hidden camera works on battery power. These cameras consume lot of battery. Some cameras come with motion detection feature, which activates the camera only when some movement is spotted and hence saves the power. However, battery power can be sufficient, if the camera is accessed after every eight hours gap. There are some controversies regarding hidden camera. Use of hidden camera at the places like changing rooms, bath rooms, is illegal. Recording audio at work place is also considered to be illegal.

As an employer, it is very important for you to inform your employees about what you are installing and why. Get it signed on a paper that they have been told about the hidden camera to avoid NBA Jerseys Australia any future issues. Hidden security cameras are efficient but very expensive also. Hidden cameras are good for large businesses, banks, or for the places which require secret supervision. Sometimes the price of the camera is more than the asset it is protecting. And hence installing a hidden camera at such a place will not be of much use. So decide carefully whether you really require a hidden camera at your work place.

Orange Juice | REWIG19 | Released: 23/07/05
Scottish bands like Belle & Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand, Mogwai, and Jesus and Mary Chain will all concur: If it were not for Orange Juice in the late 70s and early 80s, they would not sound the way they do. Their musical environments would have a limited, London/Manchester-built landscape. Their artist manifestos would have read like the Sex Pistols liner notes. Their outlook on punk, art, pop, and the space where music meets commerce would have been drastically different. Orange Juice were revolutionary innovators, both musically and commercially. They were "indie" before "indie" was a word, and their subtly provocative sound and image was unlike anything anyone had ever heard. And while they never really landed a big hit, or made their way across the pond with much fanfare, their offspring most certainly did. One listen to The Glasgow School will throw the floodgates wide open. Their delicate melodies, disco basslines, and sexy masc/fem ambiguity were unlike anything anyone had ever heard - and to this day, they resound with timelessness.

libtracker-gtk has now committed into tracker svn :), so if you want to include tracker support in your application, be sure to let John Stowers or myself know if there is anything you'd like to see in there to make your life easier!
I have been working on polishing up the metadata-tile & tag bar, and while I was at it, I made this:

In my previous post, I openly questioned the effectiveness of radio interviews. To recap:
I was invited to La Crosse Wisconsin to do a library event and a signing at Waldenbooks. The wonderful Terri Schlichenmeyer (rhymes with chickenwire) was able to wrangle three radio itnerviews for me, as well as promote the event on the radio herself. I appeared on four local stations, some of them several times, for three days prior to the event. I was funny, while managing to explain my books and when and where I'd be signing.
La Crosse is a town of about 60,000. How much of that population heard the show, and how many came to my events?
When the day was done, and the numbers had been tallied, the answer was clear:
That's one. Uno. Eins. Un.
I did well at the event anyway. I was at the library for 3 1/2 hours and met everyone who walked into the store, which resulted in 44 books sold. Not bad. But only one of those folks came because they heard me on the radio.
"You were really funny," she told me, "so I came by to get your books." She did buy them both, so about 5% of my sales that day were the result of my radio efforts.
Still, it was pretty enlightening. I walked into the store with visions on long lines and excited fans. Reality is a harsh mistress.
At the library event, I had a lovely chat with two librarians, over the large plate of cookies they bought in anticipation of the huge crowd. They apoloigzed for no one showing up. I apologized for no one showing up. They bought a book out of pity.
Afterward, I called up Barry Eisler, because we like to share marketing info, and I asked him about the effectiveness of media in getting people to events. He shared a story of being on a morning TV show in Portland, speaking eloquently, showing his book jacket, touting his upcoming appearance.
His efforts produced a throng of fan.
Yup, one person.
And that was TV, and Barry is a good-looking, entertaining guy.
The conclusion we drew was that all the publicity in the world won't bring people to you unless the people already know who you are.
Had a bestselling author, like James Patterson, been on TV or on the radio, the fans would have come in droves, because people recognize Patterson.
When was the last time you went to a book signing by an unknown author? What brought you there?
If the brand isn't recognized or doesn't meet a consumer's particular needs, the ad gets tuned out. How many men reading this blog know what Natracare is? O.B.? Gyne-lotrimin? Norplant? Massengill? FDS? Depo-provera? Estroven? Monistat 3? You've been bombarded with thousands of commercials and ads for these feminine products, and even if you recognize the names, and may even have some on your home, its doubtful you know what each one does.
You aren't the target audience, so you don't pay attention to the ads.
And if you're a woman, and you are the target audience for these products, chances are you already have a favorite brand and you stick with it, rather than switch because you hear an ad on the radio for a rival product.
As Barry says, there's no silver bullet---one specific way to slay the beast. As writers we have to keep trying whatever we can, and hope that some combination of our publicity and marketing efforts will get us noticed.
So I'll try radio again. It was fun, and doesn't take up a lot of time. But I won't seek it out. And I certainly won't pay a publicist to get me on the radio, or even TV.
Publicity doesn't work unless you're already a known commodity, and it doesn't work unless your target audience is listening and receptive.
BTW--for those keeping track (hi Maria!) I took an extra day in Wisconsin to do some drive-by signings:
Barnes & Noble in Madison West signed 8 hardcovers and 4 paperbacks.
Waldenbooks in Madison West signed 2 hardcovers and 8 paperbacks.
Borders in Madison West signed 4 hardcovers and 12 paperbacks.
Bookd for Murder signed 3 hardcovers and 14 paperbacks, sold 3.
Barnes & Noble Madison East signed 4 hardcovers and 8 paperbacks, sold 1.
Waldenbooks Madison East signed 2 hardcovers, 4 paperbacks, sold 1.
Borders Madison East signed 2 hardcovers, 4 paperbacks.
Bookworld in Janesville, signed 1 paperback (but they ordered 10 more books)
Waldenbooks in Janesville signed 4 hardcovers, 5 paperbacks, sold 1.
Waldenbooks in Rockford signed 2 hardcovers, 2 paperbacks, sold 2.
Borders in Rockford signed 4 hardcovers, 10 paperbacks, sold 2.
Barnes & Nobel in Rockford, signed 6 hardcovers, 6 paperbacks.
I'm going to be doing drive-bys in Illinois today, accompanied by Melanie Lynne Hauser, whose new book Confessions of Super Mom just hit the shelves. It's super-hero chick-lit with a mystery thrown in. It's also very funny, touching, and a wonderful read. Buy a copy for Mom---she'll love it.
Also visit Melanie at http://www.melanielynnehauser.com. She's got a great website, and many unique ideas about how to promote books. Her booklaunch party is at Anderson's in Naperville, August 25th. I urge all of my blog readers to attend the event if you're able, to see up close and personal how a successful booklaunch works. I'll be there!

Refinancing homeowners may be attracted to 20-year loan terms, but these loans can also be valuable for homebuyers who want to save money and build equity more quickly.
"Loans with 20-year terms are more popular with refinances than purchases," says Joel Kan, director of economic forecasting for the Mortgage Brokers Association in Washington, D.C. "Less than 1 percent of purchase applications were for loans with 20-year terms, compared to 7 percent for refinances."
Twenty-year loans have declined a little in popularity for refinances, down from 8 percent in April 2014 compared to one year ago, but the share of 20-year loan applications has remained the same for buyers, according to Kan.
At Quicken Loans, 20-year mortgages represented about 6 percent of all loans in 2013 and are equally popular with move-up buyers and refinancing homeowners, says Bob Walters, chief economist for Quicken Loans in Detroit. He says few first-time buyers opt for a 20-year mortgage rates because the payments are higher than a 30-year home loan.
Cameron Findlay, chief economist for Discover Home Loans in Irvine, California, says 20-year mortgages, primarily used for refinancing, are about 10 percent of their loan production.
Here are current 20 Year Mortgage Rates
- AimLoan.com: 3.625% Rate (3.972% APR), $880/ month (est)
Why choose a 20-year loan term
"The benefits of a 20-year term are that you pay down your principal more quickly and build your equity faster, which is great if you have to sell your home," says Findlay. "The interest rate is a little lower than a 30-year home loan, and because you repay the loan over a shorter term you pay a lot less in interest."
The difference in the mortgage rates between a 20-year and a 30-year loan varies, but averages about one-quarter to one-half of 1 percent, says Walters. For example, on a $200,000 30-year fixed-rate loan at 4.5 percent, you would pay $164,813 in interest, but with a 20-year loan at 4.25 percent, you would save $67,580 in interest along with 10 years of payments. However, your monthly payment will be $225 higher.
Qualifying for a 20-year mortgage rates
Qualifying for a 20-year loan requires documentation of your income and assets and similar credit score requirements to a 30-year mortgage, but you will have to factor in the higher payments to make sure your debt-to-income ratio doesn't exceed 43 percent.
If you find that the payments on a 20-year loan will stretch your budget too much but you still want to pay off your mortgage faster, you have several alternatives. Findlay recommends making biweekly payments.
Alternatives to a 20-year mortgage rates
For example, if you have a $200,000 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 4.5 percent your mortgage principal and interest payment would be $1013 per month," says Findlay. "If you split that into $506 biweekly payments you'll save $28,000 in interest over the life of the loan and shave off about 53 months of payments.
"At Quicken Loans, customers can choose their own loan term from 8 to 30 years.
"Choosing a different loan term can be a psychological as well as a financial decision," says Walters. "Our most popular term for refinancing baby boomers is the 8-year loan because they want to pay off their house before they retire, but the second most popular loan term is a 29-year loan. The payment is about 50 cents a day higher than a 30-year loan and yet you shave off a year of mortgage payments and save $7000 in interest on a $200,000 mortgage."
The important thing for consumers to realize is that they don't have to stick to a 30-year or 15-year home loan and that they can match their loan term to the payment that fits their budget, says Walters. He says borrowers should always be careful not to lock themselves into a payment that's too high, especially if they lack cash reserves.
If you're not ready to refinance or don't want to pay closing costs, you can essentially make your mortgage any term you want with HSH.com's "It's My Term" calculator. Plug in your loan amount and test out the impact of sending extra money to your lender until you find the sweet spot where the monthly payments and loan payoff date meet your needs.

"I became an activist when I was born, because my parents were Holocaust refugees," Meyer said. "When I was a toddler in the 1940s – when Truman was president – they raised me to believe, quote, 'there's nothing more precious than American freedom.' And they raised me to believe that you should always speak out in the face of oppression."
In his first brush with activism, he recalled going with a friend to join a protest against a diner that refused to serve black patrons when he was 13 years old. Once there, he was struck in the head with a rock that smashed his idealistic notions of changing the world in one day with one action.
"Before I was hit in the head with a rock, I had my boyish fantasies that I was about to change the world in my one-day participation," Meyer said. "After I was hit in the head with a rock, I realized this was going to take a long time and dedicated my life to civil rights and activism."
Meyer came out as gay at 15 during the 1964 World's Fair, however three decades would pass before he would join in earnest the struggle for his own human rights.
It was only after losing his companion and lover to AIDS in the late 90s that Meyer found what he calls his, "real purpose in life," which was a spokesman and activist for gays in the military.
When Meyer joined the Navy in 1968, he found himself a member of an extremely intolerant organization, though this was no surprise to him. He knew what he was getting into, but after seeing his University of Miami colleagues burning an American flag in protest of the Vietnam conflict, Meyer decided it was time to pay his dues.
"During Vietnam, many, many straight people lied and said they were gay so they wouldn't have to go to Vietnam. I had friends who did that," Meyer said. "I lied and said I was straight so I could serve."
Ten years ago, Meyer was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live. After undergoing a radical bladder replacement surgery, he became involved in the movement to achieve full rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender veterans and service members.
Today, he is the National Public Affairs Officer and Veterans Officer of American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender veterans' service organization, and the media director and veterans affairs officer of the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA).

November 22, 2002
Senate Passes H.R. 2458, the "E-Government Act of 2002"
On November 15, 2002, the Senate passed H.R. 2458, the "E-Government Act of 2002" and cleared it for the President. This legislation establishes a broad framework that requires using Internet-based information technology to enhance citizen access to Government information. As presented to the President, the bill includes the following provisions:
Management and Promotion of Electronic Government Services
- Establishes an Administrator of a new Office of Electronic Government within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to provide overall leadership and direction to the executive branch on Electronic Government (E-Gov) initiatives.
- The Administrator will advise the OMB Director on resources needed for Federal Information Systems and recommend changes in E-Gov strategies and priorities.
The Office of E-Gov will:
- Promote innovative uses of information technology by agencies, particularly initiatives involving multiagency collaboration, through support of pilot projects, research, experimentation and use of innovative technologies.
- Oversee the development of an integrated Internet-based information system by agencies and assist in overseeing that agency E-Gov activities have adequate security.
- Establish policies to support Information Technology (IT) standards, including standards for interconnectivity and interoperability, for categorizing Federal electronic information, and for computer system efficiency and security.
Chief Information Council
- Establishes a Chief Information Council. The Council will:
- Develop recommendations on Government information resources management policies and requirements.
- Share experiences, ideas, best practices and innovative approaches related to information resources management.
- Assist in identification, development, and coordination of multiagency projects to improve Government performance through use of IT.
E Gov Fund
- Establishes an E Gov Fund in the U.S. Treasury. GSA is to administer the fund to support projects approved by OMB that improve the ability of the Federal Government to conduct activities electronically using the Internet and other electronic methods.
- Provides that projects funded may include efforts to make information and services more readily available to the public, make it easier for the public to conduct transactions with the Federal Government, and improve information sharing among Federal agencies.
Federal Management and Promotion of Electronic Government Services
- Requires agencies to develop E-Gov performance measures and consider measuring performance in customer service, agency productivity, and use of innovative technology.
- Provides that when promulgating policies and implementing programs, agencies should consider the impact on persons without access to the Internet.
- Requires agencies to ensure that their methods for the use and acceptance of electronic signatures are compatible with OMB policies and procedures.
- Directs OMB to work with agencies to maintain and promote an integrated Internet-based system to give the public consolidated access to government information and services from a single point, and organized according to function rather than agency jurisdiction.
- Directs Federal agencies to improve public online access to agency information including all information required to be published in the Federal Register and requires that agencies accept public rulemaking comments by electronic means.
- Requires OMB to work with agencies to ensure the development and maintenance of a website repository with detailed information about federally funded research and development (R&D). Each R&D task will include dates, summaries, objectives, researchers, funds, information restrictions and other information
- Requires agencies to conduct privacy impact assessments before collecting information, or developing or procuring information technology that collects, maintains, or disseminates such information.
Federal Information Technology Workforce
- Requires that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) analyze the IT personnel needs of the Federal Government, identify where current training is inadequate, and oversee the development of curricula, training methods and training priorities.
- Initiates an Office of Personnel Management program, under which a Federal employee may be detailed to a non-Federal employer.
Share in Savings Contracts
- Authorizes government-wide use of IT share in savings contracts to pay contractors from the savings realized. Through these contracts agencies can lower their costs and improve service delivery without large "up front" investments as the contractor provides the technology and is compensated by receiving a portion of the savings achieved.
Information Security
- Provides effective Governmentwide management and oversight of IT security risks including coordination of IT security efforts throughout the civilian, national security, and law enforcement communities.
- Requires agencies to provide information security protections commensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm resulting from the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction of information collected or maintained or information systems used.
- Requires that each agency report on its information security activities in budget and management reports and requires each agency perform an annual independent evaluation of the information security program by either its Inspector General or an independent auditor.
Federal Information Security Incident Center
- Directs OMB to oversee a central Federal information security incident center which will:
- Provide timely assistance to agencies;
- Compile and analyze information security incident information; and
- Inform agencies about security threats and vulnerabilities.
Inventory of Major Information Systems
- Requires each Agency to develop and maintain an inventory of major information systems.
- Provides that the inventory include an identification of the interfaces between each system, and all other systems or networks, including those not operated by or under the control of the agency.
Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency
- Requires that OMB coordinate and oversee the confidentiality and information sharing policies and rules established by the various agencies.
- Protects the confidentiality interest of individuals or organizations that provide information for federal statistical programs.
- Allows disclosure only when it will be used by agencies for statistical purposes, when approved by an agency head and where it is not otherwise prohibited by law.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — The question for this tiny barrier island town slammed by Hurricane Sandy is whether an 18-foot-high sand dune would save it or kill it.
Mayor William Akers knows that. Sworn to protect everyone in his quintessential shore town — with a boardwalk chock full of pizza joints, custard stands and arcades — he represents people who want the barrier and others who don't.
A line of more-modest protective dunes saved the neighboring borough to the south from widespread damage. So Akers might be expected to embrace any plan to protect his battered town, where the roller coaster still sits upright in the ocean and workers are busy replacing the boardwalk in anticipation of the Memorial Day start of the beach season.
But he has grave doubts about the Army Corps of Engineers' plan: a 300-foot-wide sand dune project along 14 miles of the Jersey shore. Sand dunes will loom over the boardwalk, blocking much of the view. "You can do 'Lawrence of Arabia' out there on the beach," he said.
It will send beachgoers — who swell this town of 2,400 to 30,000 people on summer weekends — elsewhere, he said, along with much of the town's revenue. "They're going somewhere else. They're going to go south," he said.
As Sandy's six-month anniversary approaches April 30 and many turn their attention to protecting against the next major storm, the Corps' plan has provoked the kind of conflict that comes with natural devastation and high property values.
Seaside Heights has been mostly cleansed of sand and debris that washed and blew inland, but Sandy's damage is still obvious on the beach and boardwalk. An enormous Ferris wheel remains partly detached from its moorings. Video games are heaped outside one arcade. The beach remains off-limits to everyone, cordoned by yellow tape, and police spend increasing amounts of time each weekend shooing away gawkers as the weather improves.
"We need some type of protection," Akers said. "If it turns out someone shows me a dune and a berm is the best thing, I'm not a stupid man. But I think alternatives need to be explored before we get to that point."
A Frisbee throw up the coast in the Ortley Beach section of Toms River, perhaps the hardest-hit community in this area, officials have just one of the 22 signed easements the state wants from private-property owners by May 1 to proceed with the project. Aside from their views of the ocean, residents are concerned about restrictions that might be imposed on beach use, and under state law, once a dune is built, it cannot be moved.
The New Jersey Sierra Club thinks dunes will help protect the island but worries about the impact of scouring the bottom of the ocean for sand, said Jeff Tittel, the state organization's director.
But the Corps' plan has equally ardent local backers. For three decades, the borough of Seaside Park, the largely residential town of 1,900 that borders Seaside Heights to the south, has kept up a line of protective dunes on its own.
"When that storm hit, those dunes stood up . . . and they saved this town," said Mayor Robert Matthies. The waves reduced the size of the dunes by half, he said, but homes were saved. As a result, Matthies has embraced the Corps project. But his town does not depend on boardwalk merchants for its revenue.
"A lot of people are starting to understand that without [the dune], we really are at risk," said Kathy Barisciano, president of the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers Association, who had three houses crash into the rear of her home a half-block from the beach during the storm.
At a town hall meeting on March 26, the state's outspoken governor, Chris Christie, promised to "start calling names out of the selfish ones who care more about their view than they care about the safety and the welfare of their neighbors."
"I have no sympathy for your view, no sympathy," he said.
Sand dunes, often described as fragile by officials trying to keep hordes of beachgoers off them, are effective barriers against waves and wind, according to experts. In conjunction with other measures, such as wide and properly angled beaches, they can sap strength from even a storm as powerful as Sandy.
"The dune takes the wave energy and absorbs it," said Norbert Psuty, a geomorphologist and director of the Sandy Hook Cooperative Research Programs at Rutgers University, who has been advising local officials in the aftermath of Sandy. "That moves the sand and, in essence, shields what's behind it."
Dunes can be installed simply and at relatively low cost, without building stone or concrete sea walls. Christie wants to build dunes on all 127 miles of the state's coastline.
"The high and wide dunes work. That's been proven," said Steve Rochette, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers' Philadelphia district.
The Corps' plan would provide a dune that is quite a bit larger than a natural ripple in the sand. The entire 14-mile barrier, from Manasquan to Barnegat inlets, would be 300 feet wide, divided into three distinct sections.
On the inland side would be the flat-topped dune, 100 feet wide at its base and narrowing to 25 feet wide at the top. The dune would be 22 feet high, except in Seaside Heights and northern Point Pleasant Beach, where it would be 18 feet high. East of the dune, extending seaward, would be 75 feet of relatively flat berm (100 feet in Seaside Heights), also made of sand. Finally, another 100 feet or more of sloped beach would extend out from the berm to — and in some places into — the water.
The 10.6 million cubic yards of sand needed for the project would be brought from offshore "borrow areas," 175 acres of dune grass would be planted atop the dunes and 206,000 linear feet of sand fencing would be required, according to a report by Robert B. Flowers, the Corps' chief of engineers.
The work would cost $62.3 million at 2003 prices (the year the project was designed) and $166.2 million over the 50 years the Corps is promising to replenish the sand. The federal government would pay 65 percent of construction costs and half the upkeep. The Corps had hoped to begin construction in 2007, but funding for it was not authorized, Rochette said. In the aftermath of Sandy, Congress provided the funding.
Akers is between a dune and hard place. Seaside Heights is not a town of the affluent, like nearby Mantoloking. Although 80 percent of its 3,000 houses are second homes, Akers said, they are mostly modest structures. The borough may be known best as the place where Snooki, Pauly D and the rest of the cast of "Jersey Shore" once cavorted.
Financially, the beach, boardwalk and piers are everything. Revenue from beach badges and parking fees provide a big chunk of the town's $12.5 million budget, but that is almost beside the point. If people aren't coming for the sand, pizza joints and the rides on Funtown and Casino piers, they aren't coming.
Akers hopes he can win some kind of modification in the Corps' plan. The boardwalk is being rebuilt with longer, 25-foot pilings, bigger bolts and hurricane straps to prevent the next storm from ripping it apart as Sandy did, he said.
But Rochette said modifications are not in the cards. Policy requires the Corps "to select the optimal plan, and by that I mean the plan that will reduce the most storm damage for the cost."
Experts said any kind of discussion about protecting the coast shows the extent to which Sandy has altered the landscape.
"Six months ago, I don't think you'd have heard [Akers] talking about any kind of shore-protection strategy," said Michael P. De Luca, senior associate director of Rutgers' Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, who is also helping towns prepare for the next storm. "Now he's got religion, and he's asking for help."

Dear Ma and Pa,
I'm feeling fine and hope your all in the best of health back home. I had the chance to go to Rome on a pass Sunday and took the opportunity. It rained and I didn't get in so much sightseeing but went to a couple of shows. One was an American movie and the other was an Italian stage show. It was a pretty good chorus. I didn't quite understand what they were saying but the singing and costumes were good. Its store wasn't good as I couldn't buy any souveniers.
I received a letter from (?) and it was good to hear from him. I hope he stays where he is. I'll be going back to my outfit from the hospital here in a day or so. I hope the darn rain clears up. It rains off and on all the time now. How's the weather back home? It'll be snowing here soon.
Yesterday was "All Saints Day" so I went to remember in the hospital chapel. In a few days it will be one year I've been overseas. Boy I hope I'm home before the second year is up. They had a Halloween party in the hospital the other day. We played all kinds of halloween games, bobbing for apples, pinning the mustache on Hitler etc. I won a bar of candy and a pack of ciggarettes in two of the games. It won't be long before Thanksgiving will be here. I'll be closing for now with love and (?) to all the family, kids and Marge.

Visitors to the Barnes Museum can take a walk through yesteryear, thanks to the thousands of photographs that decorate the 14 Christmas trees situated throughout the home. The Barnes' annual holiday display is open to the public beginning with Hospitality Night festivities this evening.
Barnes Curator Marie Secondo said the museum's photo collection exceeded 10,000 prints, with some dating back to the late 1800s. Secondo estimated that about 2,000 of the photos will be on display as part of the holiday festivities.
"I like to use the collection and show off what we have in the museum," Secondo said. "It's a great way to show people what we have in the museum."
Each of the museum's 17 rooms will have various themes, with photos and other artifacts highlighting them. For instance, the dining room will sport photos highlighting the town and the music room will have photos of notable people in the town's history. Many of the town's streets are named after the people on the notable tree, Secondo said.
Christmas trees in other rooms will highlight the Barnes family, automobiles and women's hats.
"The photos we have in our collection are amazing," Secondo said. "Many of these photos are from as early as photos began."
One such photo, of Clifford Upson, from the 1890s, showcases how difficult photography was in its infancy. The photo shows Upson holding two puppies in the photo, one of which is blurry. This is because people used to have to sit still for several minutes for the photograph to be properly exposed.
The photographs and holiday themes will be on display at the museum through the second week of January.
On Hospitality Night, the Barnes will have free torus from 4:30-8:30 p.m. and offer free cider, donated by Shop Rite. The Southington Chamber Singers will also perform.
The three hours of Hospitality Night are typically filled with potential activities for visitors. The First Congregational Church will host its annual auction, horse-drawn carriage rides will take riders through downtown Southington and Santa Claus visits with children at the Bank of America.
Hospitality Night is supervised each year by the Merchants of Downtown Southington organization. Many of the businesses in the area open their doors and offer food and often entertainment.
"The merchant walk is the biggest event," said Gifts in a Basket owner Renee Belanger, who is coordinating the event for the second year. "We give everyone a map."
Belanger explained that 18 businesses are participating in the merchant walk, where residents can collect stamps from the various stores. At the end of the night, the stamped maps can be used in a drawing for donated prizes.
Hospitality Night runs from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.

Originally from sunny Brazil, she now calls Brixton, in South London, home. What do you enjoy about your job? I love working at Generator because you can be yourself. What's the best item on Generator London's restaurant menu? As a vegetarian, I always go for the Veggie Burger. If you could spend only one more day in London, where would you spend it? I've lived in Brixton for 2 years now and I love it. It's amazing! I would spend that day there, hanging out at all the places I love, such as the Ritzy Cinema and Brixton Village. What does #genlove mean to you? It's the connection with Generator's design and how it makes people feel. It's not just the environment but how it looks, how it feels and that's #genlove. What's the first place that you always recommend to people visiting London? Camden was one of my favourite places when I first moved here, and it's so close to Generator London, so I often recommend people visit here on their first day. My favourite thing to do in Camden is to grab a beer and sit by the canal. How would you sum up Generator London in one word? Generator London is the first place many people visit at the start of a European trip, so I would describe it as "open". It really opens everything up. Say hello to Bianca! Meet our lovely team at Generator London for yourself. Start planning your next trip today! Book now!

Since I'm traveling and off mommy duty for a few days I actually got to read a book!! Yay!
I just finished The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman.
It is the story of an Australian lighthouse keeper and his wife set in the early 1900s.
They take care of the lights on an isolated island just off the SW Australian coast.
One day a dingy with a dead man and an infant washes up on shore.
They decide to keep the arrival a secret and raise the baby on their own.
The birth family of the baby eventually finds out what happened and heartbreak ensues.
It was a very sweet story and a quick read. I really enjoyed it.
Can't wait to get started!


text: The Chicago Fire Department promotes fire safety, provides emergency care and puts out fires. It is one of the largest fire departments in the nation. There are an estimated 5,000 firefighters in the city, according the department's website. The department is divided into four bureaus: operations, administrative services, logistics and fire prevention. In 1833, the city had volunteer firefighters. In 1858, the City Council established an organized and paid fire department. Thirteen years later, the Great Chicago Fire would make headlines all over the world. On Feb. 14, 1980, firefighters went on strike for 23 days after Mayor Jane Byrne failed to deliver on a campaign promise of their first written contract. In 1991, long before the show "Chicago Fire," the fire department cooperated with the making of the film "Backdraft," directed by Ron Howard and starring Kurt Russell, William Baldwin and Robert De Niro.

|Maurice Belair (left), ca 1952
My Dad, Maurice Belair (on the left), is seen here as a young man of about 25 years old. He and his co-worker, whom I haven't been able to identify, were photographed in about 1952 as they worked for Shaw Construction of Sarnia, Ontario. I don't know where the picture was taken, but it was probably near Sarnia, because Dad had met and was going out with Mom by this time (and she lived in nearby Blue Water).
It was only after Dad passed away in 1996 that I asked Mom if she could tell me what she knew about this picture. She told me that Dad hadn't started out as a welder when they first met. He was unemployed at this time, but he knew he wanted to work for Shaw. It didn't matter that there wasn't anything for him there, he'd show up every day and sit by the shop door on the site, hoping to be hired. It seems that the boss got tired of seeing Dad hang around like that, and eventually found something for him to do. At first, he was just a labourer or a gopher and helped where needed. In the photo, Dad looks like he was the helper to the welder. In due time, it just sort of happened and Dad started to weld.
A couple of years ago, I was looking at some of my Dad's possessions that I had placed in storage. I came across one of his old wallets and found a batch of his welder ID cards. The earliest card was dated June 11, 1956. I also found some of his union due books, including one for 1965-1967. In it, I read that Dad was a journeyman pipefitter, that he was initiated in that trade in July 1952, that he was reinstated in August 1965, and that he belonged to Local 800 of Sudbury, Ontario.
|Maurice Belair Due Book 1965-1967 (inside cover)
I'm so glad Dad saved his ID cards and due books, because they are an important source of information about the years he spent working as a welder. For example, the cards and books tell me for which companies he worked, the type of welding he did, the specific welding processes at which he was proficient, and the dates he was qualified to work. In his early years, Dad worked as a welder where ever he could find work, in Ontario and in Quebec, and later, in Timmins, Ontario where he and Mom settled.
Dad last worked professionally as a welder in 1978. The following year, we moved to British Columbia and Dad joined his brother Ray to form a trucking company.

Viktor & Rolf
Viktor Horsting & Rolf Snoeren are fashion designers who have worked together as Viktor and Rolf since 1993. Renowned for the cut and proportion of their designs they turn recognisable, classic forms such as oversized shirt collars, sleeves and jackets into unfamiliar features.
Both born in 1969 in the Netherlands, they teamed up the year after they graduated from the fashion department of the Academy of the Arts, Arhem. In 1996 they flyposted the streets of Paris to announce their own strike, a personal rebellion against the pressure to create a new collection every six months. They turned instead to Haute Couture, which they designed for five seasons. Feted for their extravagant construction and unconventional appearance, the Couture garments were very highly acclaimed which enabled them to return to ready to wear.
Viktor & Rolf devise spectacular presentations for their collections. Conceived before the design process begins, they have presented moving images projected onto the bodies of static models, and sent tap-dancing models down the catwalk. They recently designed a menswear collection and released their first fragrance 'Flowerbomb' at boutique Colette in Paris, 2005, and recent high profile campaigns have brought the maverick duo's high art fashion to a higher level of commercial prominence worldwide.'

Josh Kelley Shares Hidden Talent With Charcoal Drawing of Wife and Daughter
Could the Kelleys be any more talented? Let's break it down: Josh Kelley is a phenomenal singer and songwriter, his wife is the award-winning Katherine Heigl, and his brother Charles makes up one third of country trio Lady Antebellum.
And just when you thought there couldn't be any more room for artistic talent, you're proven wrong. Josh Kelley took to his Twitter page earlier this month to share something especially sweet — and jaw-dropping. The singer posted a gorgeous drawing of his wife and daughter that he did by hand.
"Just finished this charcoal drawing of my wife and kid," Kelley tweeted along with the black and white portrait of his beautiful girls. "Feels good to draw again. I missed it."
Kelley's drawing isn't the only recent homemade project he's shared, however. Before he literally went back to the drawing board, Kelley took his second stab at making sushi, tweeting "gettin good … Watch out sushi IKE," along with the photo of the professionally-cut roll.
But he's not the only one. Kelley gave his wife praise for her own crafty project as well. "Moma bear making her own home made laundry detergent!!" the proud husband tweeted as he snapped a quick picture over her shoulder. "Regular Martha Stewart over here!!"
This week, however, Kelley was forced to put the charcoal and chef's knife down for a few days, as he returned to the road March 16 for a string of dates in Louisiana, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli television news reported on Monday that Syrian officials had signaled via third parties that they "got the message" after Israeli forces scored a direct hit on a Syrian army unit in response to cross-border fire.
The Syrian army is currently engaged in a fierce battle with rebel forces in a town very near to the Israel-Syria border. Over the past couple weeks, a number of artillery shells and missiles fired during the course of that battle have landed in Israel. One shell landed in a local village.
Most Israelis officials continue to view the cross-border fire as accidental, though as the incidents continue, that assessment is coming under question.
But accidental or not, Israel cannot allow the cross-border fire to continue, and so when a shell hit an Israeli army base on Sunday, the IDF responded by firing an anti-tank missile just next to a Syrian army unit. On Monday another shell hit Israel, and the IDF responded by directly targeting the Syrian artillery unit that had fired it. Two Syrian soldiers were reportedly wounded.
Israeli officials hope that the Syrian authorities truly have gotten the message and will take far greater care to avoid purported misfires into Israeli territory. Nevertheless, the IDF remains on high alert and the residents of the Golan Heights continue to prepare for an escalation.

Pensacola Pledge Scholars Program
Thanks to the generosity of Quinton ("Quint") Dean Studer and Mary Patricia Perdue Studer ("Rishy"), students from Escambia & Santa Rosa counties in Florida will have more opportunity to pursue higher education with the help of the Pensacola Pledge Scholarship Program.
Pensacola Pledge Scholarship
Priority consideration for the Pensacola Pledge Scholarship will be given to students who have been admitted for the fall semester by April 1 and who have submitted a completed Pensacola Pledge Scholarship Application by April 1. The scholarship is valued at up to $24,000 over a four year period (up to $6,000 per year) and is renewable each year as long as eligibility requirements are met. Incoming freshmen who meet the below qualifications will be considered for a Pensacola Pledge Scholarship.
- A First Time in College student (Freshman - FTIC)
- Attend and graduate from a high school or home school program in Escambia or Santa Rosa counties in Florida
- Offered admission to UWF by April 1
- Submitted a completed Pensacola Pledge Scholarship Application by April 1
A completed application includes: a Pensacola Pledge Scholars application, two letters of recommendation, and a 500-word essay on "what being a citizen of Northwest Florida means to me."
About the Pensacola Pledge Scholarship Program
The University of West Florida (UWF) is honored to have Quinton ("Quint") Dean Studer and Mary Patricia Perdue Studer ("Rishy") as the sponsors of the Pensacola Pledge scholarship program. Thanks to their generosity, students from Escambia & Santa Rosa counties in Florida will have more opportunity to pursue higher education and more incentive to achieve while in high school.
In addition to financial support, scholars will be acknowledged at city events, community events such as Pensacola Blue Wahoo's Baseball games, UWF and Pensacola State College events and graduation. They will also have the opportunity to serve as representatives of their institution and mentors to future City of Pensacola graduates at recruitment events, open houses and transition programs.
Renewal Criteria
In order to maintain eligibility, scholars must meet the following renewal criteria:
- Maintain full time status (12 hours) at UWF or Pensacola State College
- Maintain a combined college 3.0 GPA or higher
- Complete a minimum of 25 hours of community service per academic year in the Escambia County School District Mentoring Program
The Pensacola Pledge Scholars program is available to accepted students for up to eight undergraduate semesters (four years) and is transferable from Pensacola State College to UWF.
The Studer Family
Raised in working class families, Quint and Rishy Studer have both made community-based philanthropy, job creation and educational attainment the focus of their giving and investing. By their corporate work to improve healthcare for patients in Pensacola and around the world; their investment in Pensacola's downtown historic district, waterfront, and the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos minor league baseball team; and their philanthropic work to publicly and privately assist families in need, the Studers are an integral part of Pensacola's growth and development. Through gifts like the Pensacola Pledge, the Studers are helping to improve the lives of others by creating opportunities for students to find their passion, serve their community and pursue higher education. He has written five books, including Hardwiring Excellence, the most read book on healthcare leadership ever published. Quint is also a respected healthcare industry thought leader and sought-after speaker.
Rishy Studer also worked at the Studer Group and only recently left the firm to spend more time on her passion of community redevelopment in the Pensacola area. Rishy has been a driving force in the revitalization of historic Pensacola's urban areas. These projects range from the redevelopment and success of the Five Sisters Cafe - now a cornerstone of the historic Belmont-DeVilliers neighborhood, to the improvement and revitalization of a 35,000 square foot office building in the heart of downtown Pensacola. Rishy's newest project is rebuilding a turn-of-the-century property for use as a boutique olive oil and pasta store, as well as leading the Pensacola Business Challenge - a combination business incubator and mentorship incentive contest to help new entrepreneurs start a business.
Together, Quint and Rishy led the effort to reclaim 30 acres of environmentally damaged land on beautiful Pensacola Bay in downtown Pensacola. In partnership with the City of Pensacola, this waterfront park will be a signature project for the community, providing an outdoor amphitheater, public access to the water, mixed-use development and a multipurpose sports stadium. In addition to the brick-and-mortar contributions of the Studers to this park, Quint and Rishy also purchased and moved a Cincinnati Reds Double-A baseball team, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, to play in the stadium, creating dozens of jobs and providing an outstanding community attraction for the Pensacola area. The Studers' proudest accomplishment, and the blessing for which they are most grateful, is their family of five children and six grandchildren.
