The Battered Women's Justice Project (BWJP) is pleased to announce a webinar on the current use of risk assessment tools in the criminal justice and advocacy response to intimate partner violence (IPV) cases. There will also be a specific discussion about IPV cases involving military personnel and veteran perpetrators. How often do you hear people say there is a higher rate of IPV and a higher incidence of lethal IPV among the military and veteran populations? Is this true? Are military and veteran-related cases of IPV more dangerous? Is there a relationship between military and/or combat experience and the level of risk and danger? Are there different risk factors for lethality and re-offense when a perpetrator has served in the military and had combat experience? Do advocates and other providers need to use different models and risk and danger assessment tools/instruments when working with the military and veteran populations?
For more information and to register: http://conferences.bwjp.org/webconferencedetail.aspx?confid=350

A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. Praxis International offers methods and tools for activists and representatives from institutions that process "cases" to move toward approaches that reform the ongoing work routines that ultimately shape case outcomes. The tools avoid blaming individuals for failing to protect victims. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized in ways that impede attention to victim safety and well-being and to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools available and how they might benefit your community's efforts to improve responses to violence against women.

Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

Are murderers and perpetrators of murder/suicide (terrorists) crazy? Can we actually prevent the next violent attack or are we relegated to responding/reacting to violence? After Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School before taking his own life, in just the past week a 14-year-old boy murdered a beloved teacher in Massachusetts and a 12-year-old boy shoots and kills a beloved teacher in Nevada. The Navy Yard shooter, Aaron Alexis, shot and killed 12 people before he was killed (suicide by cop?).
The most lethal of all aggressors, perpetrators of murder/suicide, are increasing at an alarming rate. Are we creating a society of sociopaths? We have lived under the illusion that mental health assessment, profiling and even threat assessment can reliably prevent the next shooting but history has told a different story.
John D. Byrnes, Founder and CEO of the Center for Aggression Management will address these questions and offer reliable prevention solutions. John D. Byrnes has over 4,700 Linkedin Security and Law Enforcement Connections with over 2,900 endorsements.

Speaker: Dr. Steve Albrecht, PHR, CPP, BCC
When we assess the risk of school or workplace violence, we always want to be able to talk to the person making or posing the threat. Or do we? This session looks at the threat assessment process in two ways: when we actually met with the subject or when we don't. There may be many reasons why we want to – to get his or her perspective, to read his or her body language, tone, seriousness, targeting, or plans and preparations – and why we may not want to or be able to meet with the subject prior to making our assessment – the subject or the threats are anonymous, he or she refuses to meet, or the meeting may actually spur the subject into action because he or she feels trapped or that time is running out. While clinicians may insist that they must meet with the subject in order to conduct a full violence risk assessment, it may not always be easy, possible, or necessary.
Learning Objectives:
Know when it is a good idea to meet with a threat subject and when it is not.
Know how to develop, collect, and interpret threat-related data and put it into context.
Discuss the limitations of threat assessment when you don't meet with a subject.
Discuss how, where, and when to hold a threat assessment meeting.
Presenter Bio: Dr. Steve Albrecht, PHR, CPP, BCC, is internationally-known for his writing and training efforts in school and workplace violence prevention. In 1994, he co-wrote Ticking Bombs, one of the first business books on workplace violence. His San Diego firm provides training, consulting, and HR support. He is board certified in HR, security, and coaching. He holds a doctorate in Business Administration, an MA in Security Management, a BS in Psychology, and a BA in English. He worked for the San Diego Police Department for 15 years, as fulltime officer, reserve sergeant, and DV investigator. He has written 15 books on business and criminal justice subjects.

It's one of the most beautiful views in the valley -- the views of the Superstition Mountains, east of Mesa.
The community near Signal Butte and Brown is a favorite spot for horseback riding, bicycling and outdoor activities.
Folks who moved to this area for peace and solitude are now fighting for what they call a peaceful way of life as one man works to open his home to weddings and receptions.
The view from John Burns' backyards is spectacular. The majestic Superstition Mountains, jutting up toward a crystal clear, vivid blue sky.
"I'm just trying to finish a project that started in 2006," says Burns. "It was one of the worst eyesores out here in the east valley. It was ugly."
When he bought this place it was run down, a victim of the recession.
"We bought this building from the bank. It was half boarded up, piles of dirt everywhere. It kind of looked like an extension of the city dump."
Now, it looks like a perfect spot for couples to exchange wedding vows.
"This is going to be Superstition Manor. It's a wedding venue for weddings and receptions."
But not if these neighbors have their way. They are protesting Burns' request for a special use permit to run a wedding reception business from his home.
"We're here to protest this commercial facility they want to put in because the additional traffic is going to disrupt and maybe even prohibit good horse-riding and bike riding. The additional traffic is going to make the solitude of this area, the quietness disappear," says protester Donald Dahler.
Burns says if he gets the approval he needs at Wednesday's meeting, he will have to employ security, have dim, not commercial lighting and follow a long list of restrictions. But that's little consolation to some who live nearby.
"It's just not going to be safe at all for anybody hiking or horseback riding or bicycling. To me it's a total safety issue," says protester Judy Hood.
"We bought out here for a way of life, which is this right here. Being able to have our horses in our backyard and go out here and ride in the park," says protester Scott Schmier.
John Burns says the home was originally built to house receptions. He finished it and has been a good neighbor by cleaning up the property, but those protestors are hoping the county board of supervisors shoots down the project or their peace and quiet may be gone for good.

A severe storm packing winds as high as 70 mph and golf-ball size hail came through Chicago Wednesday night, triggering air and rail travel cancellations and delays.
The National Weather Service was relaying unconfirmed reports of tornados near Sandwich, the Chicago Sun-Times is reported. Winnebago County emergency officials also reported several small tornadoes touched down briefly. The weather service says a spotter reported a tornado touched down in DeKalb County.
The Chicago area is also under a Severe Thunderstorms Watch for until 1 a.m. Thursday. Strong storms capable of producing damaging winds in excess of 75 mph and hail larger than 2" in addition to an increased tornado threat.
Heavy rain is also possible overnight and a Flash Flood Watch has been posted until Thursday. Flash flooding could occur in isolated areas, with rapid flooding of streets and low lying areas possible.
City officials activated Aurora's severe weather sirens due to a tornado warning issued for Kendall County. There have been no tornadoes spotted within the City limits, authorities said.
"We haven't had any wind speed reports yet, but trees and power lines are down." said Seeley. "And we're still worried about the golf-ball size hail it dropped on Rockford."
Fellow meteorologist Andrew Krein also sounded the alarm.
"We're talking a major threat here. We're talking damaging winds, large hail, a chance of tornadoes and also very heavy rainfall," Krein said. "There's a flash flood watch out for basically all of Northern Illinois and the Chicago metro area and into Lake and Porter counties in Indiana."
Chicago should see two to three inches of rainfall, with some areas expected to get a bit more rain. Flooding will occur in low-lining areas, river streams, viaducts and Chicago's streets: "It doesn't take as much rainfall . . .to cause flooding in Chicago."
Klein said the threat of tornadoes is very real.
"These storms are going to develop rapidly," he said. "The threat [of tornadoes] is here, and I would emphasize the threat is over the whole area."
As of 5:30 p.m., METRA had halted inbound and outbound service on its Union Pacific Northwest, West and North Lines as well as its Burlington Northern line to Aurora "due to severe weather related conditions," according to a service alert posted on the agency's web site.
Trains were either halted on the tracks or not leaving the downtown terminals, Agency spokesman Tom Miller said.
Miller was unaware of any obstructions on the tracks but said the stoppages were "a precaution for the safety of our passengers."
Even before the storms moved in, more than 120 flights had been cancelled at O'Hare International Airport, with only some of those flights called off proactively because of the impending storms, Chicago Dept. of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said.
Airlines at both O'Hare and Midway anticipate the weather will cause delays later Wednesday evening.
Meteorologists are warning about the possibility of a weather event called a derecho, which is a storm of strong straight-line winds.
Tornadoes and a derecho can happen at the same time, but at any given place Wednesday the straight-line winds are probably more likely. Straight-line winds lack the rotation that twisters have, but they can still cause considerable damage as they blow down trees and other objects.
"Be prepared to move away from windows," Russell Schneider, director of the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. "Listen for weather warnings and go into a basement, if possible, and get underneath a study object like a table, he said, if a tornado warning is issued. "You want to know where your family's at so everyone can get to safety successfully." Last year, a derecho caused at least $1 billion in damage from Chicago to Washington, killing 13 people and leaving more than 4 million people without power, according to the weather service. Winds reached nearly 100 mph in some places and in addition to the 13 people who died from downed trees, an additional 34 people died from the heat wave that followed in areas without power.
Officials in other parts of northern Illinois are urging residents to listen for weather warnings. Naperville city staff is working on an interactive map showing flooded streets for the city's website. Naperville crews will remain on stand-by throughout the night monitoring the latest forecasts.
Wednesday night's Chicago White Sox game has been canceled as a precaution for the upcoming weather. A symphony performance scheduled for Wednesday night at Millennium Park has also been canceled. Game one of the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup pursuit at the United Center will still be played.
For those fans heading to the Blackhawks game, OEMC urges them to take extreme caution and allow for extra travel time to and from the game.
Northwestern University canceled classes and finals scheduled for Wednesday night on its Chicago and Evanston campuses.

Rantankerous [ran-tank'uhr-us] (adjective) - A combination of rant [to speak in a wild or extravagant manner] and cantankerous [contentious, disagreeable]. The word is the only suitable description for the arguments between Brian "What We Learned" Tynes and George "Hot Reads" Jones.
(RNN) - Both the UConn men and women's basketball teams made statements with their wins in the NCAA Tournaments, but was that a good thing?
Shabazz Napier took advantage of his spotlight on the national stage to call out the NCAA, and Geno Auriemma's team left no doubt who rules women's college basketball.
We debate if Napier's comments hurt the cause of student-athletes and if the Lady Huskies are hurting competitive balance in the game.
Northwestern's football players were granted the ability to unionize - for now. Even if that decision doesn't survive an appeals process that is sure to drag on for some time, it's almost certain college sports is bound to change drastically.

Dead Space 2 No Longer Coming to PC, Survey Suggests XBLA & PSN Ports of Dead Space WiiThe PC edition of Dead Space 2 was conspiciously abscent from EA's fiscal year 2011 release lineup revealed yesterday--because apparently there is no longer a PC edition.
"As of right now a PC sku is not in the plan," an EA representative told Blue's News. No reason was given for scrapping the PC edition, which the video games colossus announced alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions a mere three months ago.
Though Dead Space sold over one million copies in a period of under two months, PC sales evidently accounted for too small a percentage of those sales by EA's standards.
Meanwhile, an EA survey received by Kotaku suggests that the on-rails shooter Dead Space: Extraction--which sold poorly when it was release on Wii in September--might receive an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network release potentially for $15.
The survey also revealed we may see a "resource strategy game" named 'Planet Cracker,' which tasks players with maximizing profit and defending ore from "Space Pirates" and could provide in-game rewards in Dead Space 2.
Coming from series creator Visceral Games, Dead Space 2 is slated to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and unspecified handheld(s) between January 1 and March 31, 2011.

TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs
Starting a season 6-0 in the NFL is an impressive feat that usually results in media hype leading into every game. "Will Team X stay unbeaten as they travel to City Y to play Team Y?" With just two perfect teams left in the NFL, one would believe both those teams would garner a large segment on ESPN leading up to each game. If that's what you'd believe would happen, you'd be wrong. While the 6-0 Denver Broncos will continue to bask in the spotlight that revolves around Peyton Manning's incredible season to date, the Kansas City Chiefs will continue to go out every week and play sound football. The Chiefs and the Broncos play in the same division, meaning they'll get two shots at each other. Those game may be the best games of the year too. Beyond sharing a division, however, the two have little in common. The Broncos have achieved a 6-0 mark by piling on inordinate amounts of points on opponents. Although Denver has been hampered by suspect defensive play through much of the y...

Hello! I'm Jennifer Jenkinson of That Girl... That Quilt and I'm here to share my very first Moda Bake Shop project today. I'm so excited to be able to show my City Stops quilt made with the fabulous City Weekend fabric line and show you how to make one of your very own!
Take your charm squares and cut them exactly in half. You can speed this process up by cutting several at once; I could get my rotary blade through 6 at one time without distorting the fabric.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a term used to describe inflammation or infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries (female pelvic organs). PID is usually caused by a bacterial infection, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.
Scarring from pelvic infection is a common cause of ongoing (chronic) pelvic pain and infertility. It may also increase a woman's risk of having an ectopic pregnancy, a condition in which the fertilized egg attaches to an area outside of the uterus.
Women who have had PID once are more likely to have repeated pelvic infections.
PID may not cause any symptoms. But when symptoms occur, they may include:
Women with symptoms of a possible pelvic infection are advised to avoid sexual intercourse until they are evaluated by a health professional. This reduces the risk of spreading a possible infection to a sex partner.

Morning DiscussionHappy President's Day to you Americans and Family Day to you Canadians (and whatever holiday any other nation might have today). What this means is a time of reflection. Reflecting on things like, "How many games do I have in my collection that I have yet to finish?" Sadly, the number in my library just continues to grow.
Rather than finish the titles I have, I add more and more to it. It's starting to get out of control. I really need to sit back and finish some of this. Well, I suppose today is a good opportunity for that!
Alice is going to be your host today, as Garnett and myself have the day off. Steve will probably be around too bringing you whatever news the industry attempts to release on a holiday. If there is any.

Ultimate Gift Wrap Storage Bag 14 14
Needs more handles. This is terrific wrapping paper storage. Plenty of room for everything! The wheels are smooth and wonderful for maneuverability. I would have given an overall rating of 5 stars if this storage bag had at least one more handle on the side (like the other bag version) to assist in moving the bag from point A to point B. April 1, 2014
Holds a lot! I was looking for something that would keep all my gift wrapping supplies in one organized place. This was the most comprehensive organizer I had found and it was reasonably priced. It comes flat and the cardboard dividers need to be inserted into their compartments to get the sides to stand up. It took quite a bit of tugging and prodding but I got the cardboard in where it was supposed to go. Then I put in all my paper, ribbons, bags and supplies. I have lots of ribbon and I put that in the smaller containers that come with the unit. Now I don't have a place for my bows. Once it is filled it is pretty heavy. I was glad it had wheels on it. I will have to leave it on the floor to use it as it would be too heavy to put on a table. So there will be some bending over or sitting on the floor to get to the items I need. It is heavy duty and should last a very long time. March 24, 2014
Neat wrap storage! I purchased this item because I needed somewhere to store the "longer" rolls of Christmas wrapping paper. Wow, not only can I store the wrap, but also have a place for tissue paper, tape, bows, etc. I get to get rid of 3 storage totes and use this 1 bag, How AWESOME. March 22, 2014
Not a good product for the money The cardboard sides did not fit, I had to cut them. The small zippers do not stay closed, they keep opening up. Not worth the money I spent.. February 17, 2014

A. A male or female who, when intoxicated, reverts to a primitive state in which they blindly wonder around looking for someone to fuck. Usually these sloppy-drunk animals sift through a series of rejections until some poor, skanky soul gives it up. While in "catfish mode," these individuals aren't thinking logically, and will only react to the prospect of immediate ejaculation.
"Aaron went with that skank to the strip club in the hood just to try and nail her."
Yea, he was tryin to smash with everyone last night.
"Too bad he pissed himself, she was DTF. She left him at her friends place to go fuck her ex."
What a Catfish.

A simple man, with simple needs. He is honest, supportive, funny, caring, loving, handsome, gentle, cuddly, humble, and loves junk food. He can make you smile and laugh and he can take your breath away. He likes to play with your hair, kiss your forehead, hold your hand, and call you for no reason to talk about nothing for hours. There is no question when he looks at you, he looks straight into your soul and you know that he loves you unconditionally. He is the most amazing man in the world and every moment of my life would be better if I could spend it with him. He is my soul mate, my best friend, and my everything.
I love Catfish, he is my whole world.

A person that over eats. Their big mouth devours everything infront of them. After eating that excessive amount of food they are typically lethargic and have a swolen stomach and blank stare much like a catfish.
Bob- "Did you just see Jamie after she ate those two footlong philly cheese steaks and that large milkshake with extra whip cream!?"
Dan- "Yeah what a Catfish!!"

A very well-known international furniture and interior
decorating store recently set up a customer assistance department.
The first call they got was from a lady who had purchased an armoire early in the morning. She explained that after assembly the armoire had crumbled three times when the public transport bus passed in front of her house.
The store sent a technician over to her place. He reassembled the armoire – which was in the hall on the second floor – and then went into it to observe what would happen when the bus, which was due a few minutes later, went by.
The phone rang and the lady went downstairs to take the call.
Just then her husband came home from work with a terrible flu condition. Hearing his wife on the phone he trudged upstairs where he found the armoire wardrobe; on opening one of the doors and seeing the man inside he exclaimed "What the dickens are you doing in there!?"
To which the guy replied "I know you'll never believe this, but I'm waiting for the bus!"

DLC for the PS3 game "Last of Us" will be coming out soon, and it's called "Left Behind". The story focuses on Ellie, and a new character named Riley. If you're paying attention to the comics as well, this game comes after those, but before the main story line of Last of Us.
The release date is rumored to be a few weeks away, and on Valentine's Day. Price is to be about 15 bucks.
Check out the story, and picture here!

Wine started life a simple commodity but it has now been hijacked by fashion and consumerism. Natural wines are a nostalgic snapshot of what wine was like before hi-tech got involved. Understanding the science behind making wine has been very positive but we have gone too far and rather than using science to produce wines with as little intervention as possible we use it to gain absolute control over every single aspect of growing grapes and making wine. Very little is left to nature.
For me, natural wines are about coming full circle and going back to basics and simplicity. They are real and raw.
Thanks to their innate individuality and 'new'-ness as a category on the international wine scene, they are wines with little homogeneity, consensus or indeed regulation so my enquiry into them and their world is going to be an 'organic', shape-shifting process. Let me know if I have missed anything. I'm hoping this site will provide you with a framework so that you can explore these great wines.
There is no official definition of 'natural wine' so here is one that I have come up with after a lot of tasting, reading and talking to producers.
Natural wine is made from grapes that are, at a very minimum, farmed organically or biodynamically, harvested manually and then made without adding / or removing anything during the vinification process. Ideally nothing is added at all but – at most – there might be a dash of SO2 at bottling. A handful of farmers manage to produce great wines without adding any SO2 whatsoever.
It's basically good old grape juice fermented into wine. As nature intended.
The cellar is simply the place to guide what is fundamentally a naturally occurring phenomenon rather than a high-tech lab, full of gadgets and sacks of sugar, tartaric acid and powdered tannins.
It is still a small movement, which isn't particularly well known but it is time to take it seriously.
Producing natural wine is like walking on a tight rope without the safety net. Detractors of natural wines claim that it is sloppy / lazy winemaking and to be fair to such critics, you do find deviant / faulty natural wines out there. Too much volatile acidity, too much brett, refermenting wines, but there are faulty wines in both camps: conventional and natural.
Great natural wine producers are not only very brave but they are exceptional men and women who not only deeply respect the land they farm in the terra madre sense of the word but they are also great observers of nature with great knowledge and sensitivity. I have learnt more (and still am) about wine from these producers than from anyone else or any books.
This website is dedicated to these farmers who, through the love of their vines have brought wine back to its roots, giving it a simple sensuality that resonates to a growing number of us.

With a Thursday afternoon blackout deadline looming, 75% of
the NFL's Wild Card weekend contests were in danger of not being televised in
their respective home markets. 75% - 3
out of 4…wow!
Anxious fans seeking a target for their apprehension almost unanimously pointed their collective finger at greed. Translation: ticket prices are too high - the "normal fan" has been frozen out of the in-stadium experience.
There are other factors to consider, especially in non-domed locations. Weather is a legitimate deterrent to many. Complicating things is timing: the holidays see quite a few folks maxing out their budgets. In addition, some fan bases didn't know until Sunday night that they were post-season bound. And then there's the fact that my own snacks, my own bathroom, my own seat, and unlimited replays on my 50 inches of high definition glory in the climate controlled environment of my living room is not so bad.
75% of the home markets will not be blacked out. But as we wipe our brows and exhale, be careful at whom you direct your ire, fans. Misdirected angst rarely finds the true culprit…us.
While I agree that ticket prices have risen to alarming levels…while I agree that many fans opt for their own couches vs. the bench or seat at fill-in-the-blank stadium, the "normal fan" has not been frozen out. Simply put, there is a new normal for the in-stadium experience, and it's more expensive. And you know what? It's our fault. Sure, the League…the team…they jack up the rates. But we keep on paying 'em.
Like any business, teams and the League seek to maximize their profits, so…again, like any business…they massage the costs to the consumer, constantly gauging what we're willing to pay. When we push back, prices tend to follow – or a higher functioning clientele moves in. That's just business. And sometimes business sucks for the normal guy.
But here's the upside to not being to be able to see the Wild Card game in your market: the best thing that could happen for the "normal fan," as we generally define him, is a blackout.

Former Gov. Bill Milliken was fond of saying that doing good
public policy should come first and getting re-elected second and in fact if
you did the former, the later would take care of itself.
Or put another way: The public's will should be done first and
the politician's strong desire to stay in office should be subservient to that.
Ha. What a joke.
It is now all about
winning and if any good public policy gets accomplished it is like colleratal
damage or an unexpected event.
The latest and ugly
example to illustrate this centers on the governor's ill-fated effort to pass a
health care market place for thousands of uninsured in Michigan. It was an
outgrowth of President Obama's health care program which Gov. Rick Snyder was
eager to dive into. "Let's just do it,"
the silly governor advised the House GOP caucus.
But House Republicans
said let's not.
First they hid behind
the "reason" that no action should be taken on the governor's program until the
high court ruled on the president's program.
Well the high court ruled and that excuse was eliminated only to be
replaced by the real reason the Republicans wanted to duck the issue.
It was an election year
and the R's did not want to embrace anything that helped the Democratic
president and besides lots of voters didn't like the Affordable Health Care act
anyway, so why offend them and run the risk of losing an election.
So instead of doing
public policy, that the governor wanted to do, they did what they wanted to do,
run for re-election sans this albatross around their collective necks.
At a recent conference
on the issue, one sheepish GOP House member, who works on health care issues,
had to concede that nothing was done.
And then when confronted with the notion that
perhaps his colleagues bailed for fear of helping the president, this lawmaker
sat quietly while many in the 800 person audience erupted in applause over the
intent of the question.
Yep in Lansing these
days it is "Me over thee." Sorry Gov.

Blanketing's Impact on Horses' Winter Hair Coats
Q. I was only planning on blanketing when the temperature drops under 20 degrees Fahrenheit and in extreme weather. Will this compromise my horse's winter coat enough that I would need to blanket more?

When working with clients it's tempting to see projects as a journey from point A to point B. But viewing the relationship as a long-term opportunity to educate your clients in your field of expertise, can help you build more value and (hopefully) land more paid gigs. From the folks at Hourglass:
When you take the time to educate your clients on the problems that they're experiencing and how your services/products can alleviate this pain, a few different things happen:
- They start to view you as an authority.
- They start to understand why they need you.
- They start to like you.
So, you can take the short-term approach to working with clients ("What words do you want to rank for? Just let us know and we'll try and make it happen") or you can play the long game ("Our newsletter actually has an upcoming article on SEO for small businesses just like yours, would you mind if we sent it to you?"). Which situation sounds like a win-win to you?
Read the entire post here.
For many creatives, finding new clients can be challenging, and well, a real drag when all we want to do is work on our next masterpiece. Alex Mathers of Red Lemon Club developed a list of 50 ways for creative people to land clients. A creator himself, the list is both practical and creative-centric. Here are a few of his suggestions:
10. Shoot a behind the scenes film of your workspace and share it online.
15. Give a free talk on something that would truly benefit your target prospects and encourage people to connect with you at the end.
32. Create a free web-zine using collaborative writers on a topic of interest to prospects that generates leads for all of you.
34. Create a written tutorial on something you're uniquely good at and share it online.
We have to face the facts: creatives, we're also business people. Luckily, we have a unique advantage: creative energy that we can harness to land clients in innovative ways that align with our strengths. What better time than now to pick a new tactic from Mathers' list and implement it with creative gusto?
Research over the last decade has shown that there are proven methods for sparking creative insights. If you want to be more creative, author and researcher Jonah Lehrer explains at The Wall Street Journal, you'll simply need to coax your brain into it. Lehrer gives us 10 tips on how to do just that, here are some of our favorites:
Get Groggy: According to a study published last month, people at their least alert time of day—think of a night person early in the morning—performed far better on various creative puzzles, sometimes improving their success rate by 50%.
Daydream Away: Research led by Jonathan Schooler at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has found that people who daydream more score higher on various tests of creativity.
Think Like A Child: When subjects are told to imagine themselves as 7-year-olds, they score significantly higher on tests of divergent thinking, such as trying to invent alternative uses for an old car tire.
Laugh It Up: When people are exposed to a short video of stand-up comedy, they solve about 20% more insight puzzles.
While creativity has been viewed as magical concept for centuries, research like that Lehrer points to shows that it's little more than a series of cognitive tools our brains use to solve problems. Learning how to hone those skills (as Lehrer explains) means we can spark it in ourselves and our work whenever we need it most.
In filmmaker Werner Herzog's book A Guide for the Perplexed, he describes his ideation process and how he selects which concept to develop first:
The problem isn't coming up with ideas, it is how to contain the invasion. My ideas are like uninvited guests. They don't knock on the door; they climb in through the windows like burglars who show up in the middle of the night and make a racket in the kitchen as they raid the fridge. I don't sit and ponder which one I should deal with first. The one to be wrestled to the floor before all others is the one coming at me with the most vehemence.
When Herzog is overwhelmed with ideas, he selects the concept most avid in his mind. From there he works it until completion before moving on. He describes finishing a project like having a weight lifted from his shoulders. It's not necessarily happiness, but an ease of ending one thing before starting the next. However your ideas find you, make sure you finish through to completion – whether that means writing it down in a notebook or following it through to realization.
When we see the impressive work of others, it's tempting to change our game plan to follow theirs in our fear of being left behind. However, Todd Henry, founder of Accidental Creative, has learned that due to unique passions, skills and experience, we each have our own path to follow. Henry advises embracing the motto of one of his runner friends:
…the most important mindset principle for success in competitive running, especially in endurance races, is twofold: stay focused on the ground immediately in front of you, and work your plan.
Don't sacrifice your drive because you are comparing your work-in-progress with someone else's finished product. As Henry states, "Run your race. Execute your plan. Do your work, not someone else's."
Over at LinkedIn, entrepreneur James Caan gives us five important traits to have if you want to stand out in your career, including:
There is an old saying that says if you're standing still, you're going backwards, and this is especially true in career terms. Are you somebody who is happy with your current skill set, or do you actively look to improve? If it is the latter, then you are exactly the sort of person most bosses look for…
There is nothing better for a manager than to see his or her employees actively taking ownership of projects. Equally, nobody wants to be seen as someone who passes the buck. If something falls under your remit, ensure you are the one who sees it through…
By having this ability to reflect – and sometimes criticize yourself – you are making sure lessons are learnt every step of the way.
What each of the traits Caan shares have in common is primarily related to personal drive. Those who are successful in their careers have the momentum to take full accountability and control of their efforts. Though, if they don't have the momentum they need, they create it through self-reflection and focus.
Research indicates that we defer working on things based on how distant we perceive their deadlines. When we decide that something falls into the "future" category, we simply file it in our "someday" folder and eventually those goals are neglected. Unfortunately, that which is important is often inversely proportional to what's urgent. To move priorities out of our "someday" folder, Amy Morin suggests imposing what she calls "now" deadlines:
Establish "now" deadlines. Even if your goal is something that will take a long time to reach – like saving enough money for retirement – you're more likely to take action if you have time limits in the present. Create target dates to reach your objectives. Find something you can do this week to begin taking some type of action now. For example, decide "I will create a budget by Thursday," or "I will lose two pounds in seven days."
This is essentially a handy way of breaking down huge tasks into do-able, realistic bits. After all, time expands so as to fit the time available for its completion.

A Casa Grande girl was shot and killed at her home Thursday night in what's being called a tragic accident.
It happened about 8 p.m. Thursday in a rural area of Casa Grande.
11-year-old Joan Plumb was at home with a friend doing some scrapbooking when her 15-year-old brother was showing his new gun to a neighborhood friend, age 11.
Deputies say the brother showed his new .22-caliber rifle to the friend, removed the clip from the gun, set it on the table and exited the room. The friend picked up the gun and was handling it when it accidentally discharged, according to PCSO.
Joan was struck in the head.
Paramedics rushed her to a hospital in Casa Grande. Then she was flown by helicopter for treatment in Phoenix, where she died, just before 11 p.m.
Mike Withrow knows Joan's dad.
"My jaw dropped to the floor, I did not think this would happen to him. He is a church guy, things happen… it is all in God's hands now."
Thursday night's tragedy is just more proof if guns are around, somebody can get shot.
We have talked to a number of people in this area. Everybody is upset, but in the wake of this shooting, the focus is on safety.
"Keep it under lock and key. Don't let children know where they are at," says Hortencia Martinez.
"If you have a gun in the house it needs to be in a gun safe, and with trigger lock and ammo stored in a separate box in a separate place and that solves your problem," says Rick Clinton.
The Pinal County Sheriff's office is still investigating but says the shooting appears to be accidental.

I took my Cane Corso camping for the first time last weekend, and he had a ball!!! He loved every minute of it, and he was on his BEST behavior!!! The perfect vacation for both humans and dogs alike!!!! I can't wait until we go up to the snow!!!!

Over the summer I rescued from my local shelter an incredibaly timid and skittish female boxer. I took her on an overnight backpacking trip and by the end of the first day she changed into a confident happy go lucky dog! After a mile or so of keeping her on leash, I let her off and saw for the first time a dog completely at ease, with her tail up and wiggling. That trip did wonders, being away from loud traffic, loud people, let her come into her own. The only thing is I wish i could find a light weight sleeping pad thats big enough and warm enough for her! Wasn't any fun fighting for a little corner of sleeping bag all night. We will defiantly have more backpacking trips in the summers to come.

Hey Natalie,
I ran into that same problem before! Coleman actually makes small sized dog sleeping bags, or (especially if it's summer) you can get away with a pretty cheap kids sleeping bag (I found one on Amazon for $25!). As for a sleeping pad, you can get really inexpensive closed foam ones at most major retail stores (EMS, REI, even Wal-Mart) - then all you need is a pair of scissors to cut it in half, and then you've got a dog sized sleeping pad AND an extra shortie pad to keep you a little bit warmer (I recommend putting the shortie pad underneath your core).
Hope this helps!

I live in Southern California surrounded by beautiful national, state Parks and thousands of desolate acres of BLM land; Joshua Tree, Borrego Springs, Cuyamaca. Imperial county to name a few. Problem is that none of these wild primitive camping spaces allows dogs off leash even though we typically camp primitive miles from other campers. Seems crazy that they allow ATV's, guns, motor bikes etc but not a dog off a leash. It appears dogs liberties and rights have been slowly eroded with claims that it's best for thir safety, the environment etc. So... does anyone know of any remote areas in southern cal where a dog can be a dog and run freely without their owners getting slapped with a $200 fine?

I'm with you, trying to find a pretty semi-cool spot (with no or at least fewer rattle-snakes) to camp with my dogs off-leash. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com / let's compare notes if we find one. Thinking of Lone Pin - Bishop Creek this summer - at least exploring with two of my 4 girls. Happy Camping!

Pampa, TX -- A Pampa native was honored for his bravery in one of the most decisive battles in World War II - 70 years after the fact.
Joe Hernandez graduated Pampa High School in 1944, and the following February he was on the front lines in Belgium at the Battle of the Bulge.
The Battle of the Bulge is widely considered one of the greatest battles in U.S. military history - and a critical turning point in World War II.
And Joe Hernandez was there as a replacement soldier to take the place of the dead and wounded.
"First, we heard the machine guns hit to the right," recalls Hernandez. "And then they (German forces) started laying the artillery on us, and one of the guys got hit right in the head and it killed him. And I just thought, 'Uh oh ... we're in trouble."
Hernandez fought alongside his comrades, staving off the advancing German forces until reinforcements arrived. The Allied forces ultimately triumphed, but not without taking heavy losses.
"I didn't think about myself," said Joe. "We fought as a group because we were. And I thought, 'We're in trouble.' And we were - we lost 87 percent of the company. And so I knew we were in trouble."
Joe was awarded the Purple Heart and several other honors before receiving the Bronze Star this evening (Mar. 12).
When I asked him his thoughts about the ongoing war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, Joe had only this to say: "I'll be glad when they bring 'em home. And that's it."
