Kerr Elementary first-grader Brock Sumner faced the front of the schools gym, lifted his hand to his heart and began belting out the words to the national anthem, joining dozens of other young voices in the song during a special program at the school Friday.
It was the culmination of a week-long focus on the national anthem and the history surrounding it, a project that crossed the curriculum and involved teachers in various subjects, including arts and music, helping students to understand the importance of the song and to learn the words of the song.
The week ended with an assembly, where youngsters and their teachers donned red, white and blue, sat cross-legged on the floor and watched a detailed video that put an exclamation point on the things they'd been learning all week, ending with a collective singing of The Star-Spangled Banner."
It was all part of Kerr's celebration of National Anthem Day, a nationally-recognized educational event designed to highlight the anthem.
According to music teacher Amy Jackson, who pulled the program together, National Anthem Day was in response to a survey that showed two out of three Americans didn't know the words to the national anthem.
"The National Association for Music Educators created the project as a way to re-teach the anthem," Jackson said, "and to raise awareness of the importance of music in schools."
Jackson used her music classes throughout the week to talk about the song and teach youngsters the words. Also hopping on board was music teacher Emily Colt, who tied her studies for the week to social studies lessons geared toward citizenship.
"In art, we can't really sing, but we took the social studies standard and used it. I had students create an American flag. We talked about the 13 colonies, what the stars represented, and then we drew a hand print on the flag representing how we are to hold our hand over our heart."
Other teachers, Jackson said, tied their own lessons to the theme, as well, giving students a broad view of the national anthem and its history.
"All the activities we did during the week led up to our event on Friday," Jackson said.
Both kindergarten and first grade students were invited to assemblies where teachers and support staff guided students through a mini history lesson.
All the children involved in the program said they were excited to be a part and enjoyed learning more about the song and the flag.
And they all enjoyed the art tied to the music.
"I like that we colored the flags," said 5-year-old Yasmine Ramos.
"I liked painting my hand to make the flag," added classmate Kemaury Alicea-Bell.

Wildfire burns 250 acres of ranchland north of LA
PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) -- A wildfire has broken out and quickly surged to more than 250 acres in rural ranchland 50 miles north of Los Angeles.
An L.A. County fire spokesman says the blaze was reported Tuesday night in Palmdale, where temperatures are in the upper 70s and winds are at about 10 mph, gusting up to 20 mph.
The area has ranch homes that firefighters are working to protect, but none have burned, and the blaze is moving away from them. No evacuations have been ordered.
About 200 firefighters are at the scene, and helicopters flying in the darkness are dropping water.
Palmdale is a city of 150,000 people.

NASCAR doesn't allow data acquisition during the races themselves, but in practice and testing, a crew member can hand a tablet to a driver as soon as the car pulls into the pits or the garage. The driver can see his or her own performance data and compare it with that of other drivers.
The driver can then give feedback by pointing to a position on a track map on the screen, say Turn 1, and rating the handling characteristics of the car on a scale of minus 5 to plus 5. So the driver can tell the crew chief via tablet -- without letting other teams in on the radio chatter -- how the car is behaving at every critical point on the track.
The application streamlines the process of providing feedback. Eventually, there will be a wireless capability that will enable a crew chief on top of a transporter to see the driver's feedback as he inputs it.
Rather than try to tailor the application to specific drivers, it's up to individual driver/crew chief combinations to interpret, for instance, just what "negative 3 loose on corner exit" means.
"(The crew chief) kinds of tunes himself to know that when it's a negative 3 or 3 loose, he knows how to respond to that," said Darren Jones, group lead for software development at TRD. "So that's something between the chemistry of the driver and crew chief that they really start to hone in on."
Sharing data between teams also is a key to the success of the project.
"A big part of the Toyota program, especially in the (Camping World) Truck and Nationwide Series, is the amount of collaboration between the teams," said Steve Wickham, TRD's vice president of chassis operations. "In an ideal world, yes, we'd all have the same metric, and the drivers would all speak exactly the same language.
"This is one step toward that ultimate goal. At least they've got a number now, rather than a variation of text or numbers or finger gestures as to how the car's handling."
TRD is testing the application at the Nationwide and Truck Series levels before introducing it to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Gibson County Animal Services Holds Open House to Thank Community
By: Administrator
Updated: November 5, 2012
Some Tri-Staters are learning more about how they can help a local non-profit. Saturday Gibson County Animal Control held an open house.
The organization says it was an opportunity to thank the community for supporting them and showing the community the different ways they can help.
Animal control says if you don't want to adopt a dog-- you can always foster one.
Local rescue groups and vendors from around the area were at the open house.
There was also an auction that featured jewelry from Brinker's.
"People can always donate to shelters, there's always things we need, paper towels, toilet paper, just every day cleaning products that we use. So all the little things doesn't mean you have to adopt and animal."
And it wasn't just about the dogs-- a local bird rescue was on hand-- with some of their birds available for adoption.

CustomerTina from Denver PA
I searched the internet for parts because we had just had a repairman out to fix the knocking noise in the washer drum. He found an underwire from a bra there and removed it. That cost about $100. My husband took apart the bottom panel and showed me what the part looked like and I was able to find it on your website. I was able to order the parts and have my husband repair the washer so I was only without a washer for a week and a half. Thank you.
Were these instructions helpful?

need to discuss that issue.
The Episcopalian Church is suffering grave divisions brought about by liberalizing
their theology, ie., redefining the nature of God and man, denying Lordship of Jesus,
advocating SS marriage even for ministers, and ordaining homosexual ministers.
Whole congregations are seceding, finances dwindle, property lawsuits abound,
and membership is falling rapidly.
Is this the inevitable fate of all orthodox religions during this time of social upheaval?
Can this happen to the LDS Church too?

THE newest iPad will be released next week, with twice the storage, a bigger screen and a sleeker look.
Apple has this morning confirmed it will release the first version of the iPad with 128GB of memory on February 5.
In a press release, the company said the new version of the fourth generation iPad would include a 9.7-inch retina display, FaceTime, HD camera and iOS 6.1.
Previously, the most storage available on an iPad was 64GB.
The fourth-generation iPad was released in November, and this will be an update to that tablet, rather than an iPad 5.
Thanks to 9to5Mac and an unverified source, we may have just gotten our first peek at what the newest iPad will look like, at least from the back.
Earlier this week, the site received a handful of images from a source at an iPad accessories manufacturer in China and while the source's claim has yet to be substantiated, 9to5Mac has a decent track record when it comes to reliable information. Considering that their report of an 128GB iPad 4 was recently proven right, there might be some truth to these rumors.
The images show the back plate of an alleged iPad 5 model, and the design is similar to Apple's iPad Mini, with the latter's black and slate casing, thinner design, and chamfered edges. According to 9to5Mac's source, the purported fifth gen iPad will feature a 9.7 inch display and would probably be an LTE model.
These are details that Apple has confirmed will be part of the newest iPad 4.
The newest update was originally rumored for a March 2013 release.
Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge reported earlier this week that the latest word on the street is that the iPad 5 won't see the light of day before October at the earliest.

Who Is Bature Fooling?
I read Alhaji Bature Iddrisu's rejoinder to Mr. Kofi Thompson's open-letter to the editor-publisher of the Al-Hajj newspaper and literally fell off the edge of my seat with laughter (See 'Re: An Open Letter to Alhaji Bature Iddrisu' Ghanaweb.com 5/19/12). What did it for me was the gross and shameless exhibition of abject hypocrisy on the part of the Bolgatanga native. And on the latter score must be recalled the fact that Alhaji Bature Iddrisu has spent the better part of the past two years incessantly drumming into the ears of the Rawlingses that their safest bet ought to be squarely hedged on President John Evans Atta-Mills, since, in the flighty imagination of Alhaji Bature Iddrisu, the presidential candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) represents all that is inimical to the peace, quiet and comfort of the man who held Ghanaians by their scruff and throttle for the longest two decades of postcolonial Ghanaian history.
In his afore-referenced rejoinder, though, Alhaji Bature Iddrisu was fulminating about the Rawlingses having perpetrated atrocities against Ghanaian citizens, which is why their victims find it next to an utmost impossibility to allow for the establishment of a 'Rawlings Dynasty,' in order to facilitate an unwise and unhealthy reprise of the same.
The problem here, however, is that the Al-Hajj newspaper editor-publisher is then able to brazenly claim that come December 7, 2012, Ghanaians are unreservedly going to massively vote to return President John Evans Atta-Mills to the old slave castle at Osu, because, somehow, the very man who so profoundly collaborated with Mr. Rawlings to perpetrate his alleged atrocities against the Ghanaian people is more peaceful and God-fearing than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who fiercely fought with like minds to make Fourth-Republican Ghanaian democratic culture a living reality for all his countrymen and women.
It is also a veritable act of sheer chutzpah that Alhaji Bature Iddrisu can write and publish the following words and actually be able to live with himself and the rest of us democracy- and peace-loving Ghanaians: 'December would [will?] certainly be a referendum on Mills' tenure as president, and I am of a strong conviction that despite his shortcomings, Akufo-Addo cannot be the alternative[;] he is not a [suitable?] replacement because I know that Ghanaians cherish their peace, they [also] prefer [an] honest and God-fearing leader[;] never mind even if he is uncharismatic. [H]e would certainly be retained. However[,] in the event that he loses, so be it[;] after all[,] democracy dictates that power should be rotational and I understand that very well.'
Of course, those of us who have fairly closely followed his Machiavellian career these past two years are unreservedly convinced that Alhaji Bature Iddrisu has absolutely no conviction whatsoever. Else, why would the man, in the same breath, be talking about Nana Akufo-Addo's being no sound and/or intelligent alternative to President Mills and simultaneously be resignedly pontificating about democratic culture being about 'rotational' power/leadership? It is almost as if having squarely, albeit uncomfortably, conceded defeat before the fact, somehow, the Al-Hajj newspaper publisher-editor finds it epically difficult to accept the same.
Anyway, as I read the foregoing quote, I began to wonder whether, indeed, the writer really appreciated what he was talking about. For what kind of 'God-fearing' leader hangs around his chief-patron with uncontrollable giggles as innocent and unsuspecting victims are hauled into Black Marias and driven in cuffs to the Osu slave castle to be given 'Identification Haircuts' by the Rawlingses and their minions with broken beer and Fanta bottles?
I mean, I am not a Muslim, and profusely do apologize for this, but I can almost vividly and dazedly picture Alhaji Bature Iddrisu kneeling before the Ancient Black Rock - or Ka'aba - in Mecca and praying that the Almighty Allah richly bless the Rawlingses for having generously humiliated their political opponents and victims with 'ID-Haircuts.'
And just what kind of 'peace' could Ghanaians expect from a president whose ready riposte to the manhandling of biometric registrants, allegedly by hired members of his own party, is to simply shrug his shoulders and lamely claim, with a smirk, that he is not a policeman? Maybe somebody ought to define 'Commander-in-Chief' for the former tax-law professor of the University of Ghana.

Kraken Press Announces "Staring into the Abyss", by Richard ThomasComments Off Kraken Press has signed with author Richard Thomas and will be releasing his short story collection, "Staring into the Abyss" in the first quarter of 2013 in digital and print. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, "Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster; and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you." In this collection of short stories Richard Thomas shows us in dark, layered prose the human condition in all of its beauty and dysfunction. A man sits in a high tower making tiny, mechanical birds, longing for the day when he might see the sky again. A couple spends an evening in an underground sex club where jealousy and possession are the means of barter. A woman is victimized as a child, and turns that rage and vengeance into a lifelong mission, only to self-destruct, and become exactly what she battled against. A couple hears the echo of the many reasons they've stayed together, and the one reason they finally have to part. And a boy deals with a beast that visits him on a nightly basis, not so much a shadow, as a fixture in his home. These 20 stories will take you into the darkness, and sometimes bring you back. But now and then there is no getting out, the lights have faded, the pitch black wrapping around you like a festering blanket of lies. What will you do now? It's eat or be eaten—so bring a strong stomach and a hearty appetite. Richard was the winner of the 2009 "Enter the World of Filaria" contest at ChiZine. He has published over sixty stories online and in print, including the Shivers VI anthology (Cemetery Dance) with Stephen King and Peter Straub, Murky Depths, PANK, Gargoyle, Weird Fiction Review, Pear Noir!, Word Riot, 3:AM Magazine, Dogmatika, Vain and Opium. His debut novel Transubstantiate was released in 2010. In his spare time he is a featured book critic at The Nervous Breakdown, as well as a columnist at Lit Reactor. He is represented by Paula Munier at the Talcott Notch agency. For more information, check out their website www.krakenpress.com as well as Richard's website, www.whatdoesnotkillme.com. |

Alchemy Press Submissions Now Open(1) The Alchemy Press has opened their submission windows for the next three anthologies: Astrologica (edited by Allen Ashley), Urban Mythic (edited by Jan Edwards and Jenny Barber), and Pulp Heroes 2(edited by Mike Chinn). In brief: The Alchemy Press Book of the Astrologica is looking for stories about the signs of the Zodiac, the characteristics associated with those signs and/or people born under them. They will also consider stories involving the mythical characters and creatures of the astrological signs, perhaps their history and origin, perhaps their present and future state. Note: Alchemy PRess are not saying that one has to believe in the paraphernalia associated with modern astrology; but authors should seek to use some of this as inspiration and underpinning of their narratives. http://alchemypress.blogspot. The Alchemy Press Book of Urban Mythic is seeking contemporary tales with all the magic and wonder of myth and legend, blending modern life with the traditions of folklore from around the world. Whether lurking in dark alleys or brash shopping malls; from shanty towns to the floating cities of Venice, Bangkok or Dubai; swanky riverside penthouse lofts or humble suburban semis, they want to see how the mythic is woven into the everyday. Think Charles de Lint, Terri Windling, Robert Holdstock, Seanan McGuire, Jim Butcher, Kate Griffin, Simon R. Green, Holly Black, Neil Gaiman… http://alchemypress.blogspot. The Alchemy Press Book of Pulp Heroes 2 is after tales from the arid plains of Mars to the canyons of Manhattan; the foetid jungle to the naked jungle. Demented criminals versus dark heroes with sinister powers. The flash of steel in the palaces of long-forgotten civilizations or along the sterile corridors of impossible spacecraft. Swords against sorcery or sword and planet. http://alchemypress.blogspot. This year also sees the launch of Alchemy Novellas: these will cover almost all areas of Fantasy – that's heroic fantasy, alternate world fantasy, urban fantasy, supernatural, dark crime and horror. Comic fantasy will be considered but not if it's a parade of puns or bad gags. Alchemy Press are not fans of zombies or heroic vampires and will not publish hard science fiction. Essentially, acceptance will be based on how well the novella works for them. http://alchemypress02. Visit the above links for full details. |
Second book of Apollo Quartet to be published January 2013Comments Off The Eye With Which The Universe Beholds Itself, Book two of the Apollo Quartet by Ian Sales, is set to be published in January by Whippleshield Books. For fifteen years, Earth has had a scientific station on an exoplanet orbiting Gliese 876. It is humanity's only presence outside the Solar System. But a new and powerful telescope at L5 can detect no evidence of Phaeton Base, even though it should be able to. So the US has sent Brigadier Colonel Bradley Elliott, USAF, to investigate. Twenty years before, Elliott was the first, and to date only, man to land on the Martian surface. What he discovered there gave the US the stars, but it might also be responsible for the disappearance of Phaeton Base… The Eye With Which The Universe Beholds Itself will be available in limited signed hardback, paperback, ePub and mobi formats. |
Nir Yaniv Short Story Collection ReleasedComments Off Israeli author Nir Yaniv's debut English-language collection has been released by Keith Brooke's Infinity Plus imprint. The Love Machine & Other Contraptions is available in Kindle and paperback formats. Yaniv is a film-maker, musician and author based in Tel Aviv. With World Fantasy Award winner Lavie Tidhar he co-wrote 2009 novel, The Tel Aviv Dossier. It has been described by SFCrowsnest as "the most enjoyably bizarre novel I've read," and was called a "neo-Gnostic apocalypse narrative for the iPod generation" by The Jewish Quarterly. Yaniv's stories have appeared widely in Israel, where he is considered one of the most prominent of the new wave of genre writers. His writing is often humorous, and tackles a wide variety of subjects and literary approaches. In English, his stories have previously appeared in Weird Tales, Apex Magazine, Chizine and elsewhere, and they have been translated into German, Portuguese and Polish. The Love Machine collects Yaniv's previously published stories as well as many new stories never published in English. Some have been translated by Lavie Tidhar, who also provides an introduction, and well as by the author himself. Yaniv's work has been called "hypnotic, surreal and prophetic" by World Fantasy Award winning editor Ann VanderMeer, and as "fantastic, wonderful [and] weird" by Strange Horizons. |

Organic Ultra Rich Moisture Balm - £18.00
Formulated originally as an emollient for eczema and psoriasis, this nourishing organic balm is a must for any dry and sensitive skin conditions on the face or body. It is suitable for applying sparingly around the eyes.
Ultra Rich moisturising balm is absorbed deep into the skin layers to rehydrate and support the protective skin barrier without blocking the pores as petroleum oils do. Can be used alone or over the Repair Lotion.
If you suffer from eczema or any other allergy, please download our Eczema Information PDF.
We make Ultra Rich with:
- Organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter (excellent moisturising properties and rich in vitamins to feed the skin)
- Hypericum/St John's Wort (antibacterial and healing - very important for eczematous skin)
- Beeswax
- Suitable for Vegetarians.
- Can be used from 3 months.
- Product is Soil Association Certified.
- We use recyclable packaging that was manufactured in the UK and Western Europe. It has not been air freighted to us.
- The Organic Ultra Rich is now packaged in a 100% recycled UK-made jar (which used to be a milk bottle in fact!)
Margaret's Tip
You can use Ultra Rich for so much! As well as being a great hand and body emollient, you can apply it before swimming or washing-up to protect the skin. Or in wintry weather to protect from the cold. And on frizzy hair ends to calm them down. To condition very dry or chemically-damaged scalps, apply, leave on for 2 hours, and then wash.Customer Reviews
- J.M., : "very pleased"
I am very pleased with treatment for a "strange" dermatitis that started in April. I looked as though I had hauled a sledge in the Arctic! Since using your products can say it is most successful, and I shall keep in contact with you. Most of the horrors of the spell of Dermatitis have gone.
- R.S., : "it's A1"
Thanks for your Ultra Rich Emollient - it's A1
- Valerie B., : "wonderful"
Your products are wonderful. I was introduced to Essential Care products several years ago by a homeopath who was treating me for a particularly nasty bout of eczema which has, thankfully, diminished in its frequency and severity. I keep on returning to your products because I know they're pure, organic and feel wonderful on my skin.
- Kirsty S., : "Thanks to you, I've got healthy skin the natural way"
I recommend your products to my friends who can see how effective they are. The eczema on my hands used to be so bad that my fingers would swell to nearly twice their size, I could hardly move them as it was so painful.
Now thanks to you, I've got healthy skin, the natural way!
- M. Woodhouse, : "wonderful"
I find your Ultra Rich cream wonderful for my dry skin.
- E.T., : "really helped to control my baby's rather aggressive eczema"
Just wanted to say 'thank you'. Not only did I receive fantastic customer service, but your products have really helped to control my baby's rather aggressive eczema. The ULTRA RICH cream in particular has really softened his very dry skin - he now has beautiful baby-soft skin, as all babies should. And to boot, we're getting a better nights rest because he's not itching! And the ULTRA RICH cream smells good enough to eat! This makes me even more confident about using the cream - as my aunt always says, 'why put something on your skin, that you wouldn't put in your mouth?!
We will be buying more of your prioducts! It's just disappointing that the health professionals didn't point us in your direction - we went through all sorts of 'run of the mill' products, none of which really helped and none of which I was particularly happy about putting onto a baby's delicate skin! Be assured that I have let our GP and Health Visitors know of our success with your products. Thanks again.
- M.B., : "extremely pleased"
I was very pleased to have found ORGANIC ULTRA RICH because it was in fact just what I had been looking for. I have had psoriasis since I was five years old and have never been free of it, except when I was pregnant. I am now 54 and still suffer from this condition on my body and scalp. I have used many lotions and potions over the years but have never found a really good emollient that would rehydrate my skin and at the same time be free from irritants and preservatives. I trawled the internet hoping to find just such a product and after searching many websites I discovered Essential Care. Straight away I felt that I could trust your products but 'the proof of the pudding........' so I ordered your HERBAL SHAMPOO AND ULTRA RICH. I now use both products regularly and feel extremely pleased that I have at last found an ointment that does the job well without having to worry about any harsh chemical ingredients. Thank you."
- J.Z., : "fantastic"
The ultra rich is fantastic, I suffer from severe eczema and it is providing me relief already. The repair lotion is a life-saver. My skin was an absolute mess and I was getting depressed until I started using it. It's clearing up now."

Alaska's commerce commissioner says the disaster from poor king salmon returns was worse than first estimated.
In a letter to the state's congressional delegation, Susan Bell says commercial fishery permit holders lost an estimated $16.8 million in direct revenue.
She says that doesn't include the economic effect on crew members who help harvest salmon, or processors and support businesses. She says it also doesn't include account for revenue lost by communities from fish and sales tax.
The U.S. Department of Commerce in September declared king salmon fisheries a disaster in several watersheds. The declaration covered the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, which flow into the Bering Sea, and the Cook Inlet region south of Anchorage, which includes the Kenai River.
The declaration made commercial fishermen eligible for federal disaster relief.

Advocacy Campaigns
A company's social responsibility can directly affect customers' perceptions, and ultimately, a company's bottom line. Advocacy campaigns are vital elements to enhancing a company's business and reputation in the marketplace. In fact, seven out of ten Americans say that they would be willing to start or increase the amount of business they did with a company based on their corporate social responsibility record. And, while the bottom-line impact is undeniable, advocacy campaigns transcend traditional company messaging, charitable giving or philanthropic efforts.
Well-crafted advocacy campaigns enhance corporate perceptions, strengthen industry alliances and impact lives. Successful advocacy campaigns must be thoughtfully considered and strike the perfect balance between strategies and tactics. So, whether your cause is promoting financial literacy amongst young adults or helping women invest smarter, JCPR is uniquely qualified to develop advocacy campaigns that deliver on their goals.
Our campaign development follows a rigorous process of conducting research; identifying campaign mission, goals and objectives; identifying available resources and assets; prioritizing target audiences; developing campaign strategy and tactics; and finally, campaign implementation and evaluation.
Commissioned Authorship
One of the most powerful ways to establish a company's thought leadership is to publish books written by its executives. The credibility and exposure generated from an insightful, timely book is hard to match.
In today's world, the ability to market and sell a work of literature is just as important as writing it. JCPR helps new and established authors navigate the world of book, publishing and promotion, by crafting proposals that attract agents and publishers. We advise on which house is best for a book and we follow through with assistance on everything from choosing a title to creating a jacket. We also assist with publicity strategies – both online and off – including arranging events and speaking opportunities, and of course, media exposure, to ensure that the time and effort that went into the book is rewarded.
Corporate Communications Support
Some companies prefer to keep their corporate communications in-house, but need help creating and managing this team. If you're ready to create your own corporate communications team for day-to-day communications activities, JCPR can help with hiring decisions, planning, training and establishing the best practices and guidelines. We create a communications strategy, implement the plan and organize communications to employees, the board, investors and the media. Our professionals work with and monitor the communications team on a continuing basis to ensure their professional development, and the quality and consistency of the messaging.
Corporate Writing Services
In today's fast-paced world, communicating effectively - with your clients, board, shareholders and employees - is an essential element of business success. Yet, the ability to write powerful, compelling copy requires a skill set and perspective that many companies don't possess internally.
JCPR's experienced team offers well-crafted collateral material, forward-looking thought pieces, powerful speeches, relevant client and shareholder communications, thoughtful newsletters, concise annual reports, and other internal and external communications.
Event Planning
There's no doubt that an engaging, seamless and well-attended event can have a profound and immediate impact, raising brand awareness and enhancing value. For many companies, a brand comes alive at a corporate event. From that moment on, the event represents the image in the minds of their clients and business partners whenever they hear your company name. We specialize in making that image the best it can be. JCPR does all the work for you, whether your event is public or private, by securing venues, designing sets and stages, creating visual aids, securing live entertainment and preparing speaker's remarks. Events can range from golf outings to cocktail parties, client appreciation dinners to large-scale conferences and trade shows. Whether you're considering a dinner, press briefing, networking breakfast, half-day workshop or an all-day event, our goal is to make it as constructive, positive and successful as possible.
Market Research
The key to a successful strategy is research. Yet, when it comes to determining how a company's market truly acts and thinks, many firms have a large blind spot.
JCPR begins the development of any strategy by collecting as much relevant information as possible, ensuring we know external perceptions and the competitive landscape. By asking the right questions, we collect information to address issues large and small – from the age of your target audience to the public's reaction to your messaging and positioning decisions.
Research provides verifiable answers to all kinds of questions and can serve as a feedback loop, gauging the effectiveness of current strategies. The results may surprise you.
We offer a variety of essential research services, including focus groups and online surveys, to ensure that your strategies reflect reality, not assumptions.
Marketing Support
For marketing and PR to be effective, they must complement each other. Marketing has to raise awareness and drive revenue, all in coordination with a firm's messaging and media campaigns. How can you be more effective? With materials that are consistent, scalable and, most of all, compelling.
With a team of experts in every facet of marketing, JCPR prides itself on creating customized solutions that directly impact your bottom line. Look to us for:
Brand development and positioning
Client retention program development
Collateral material production
E-marketing campaigns
Event and conference planning
Marketing and sales roundtables
Marketing research
Pitch books and leave-behinds
Strategic guidance
Surveys and award submissions
Media Training and Coaching
Our media training and coaching programs are customized and designed to help clients at every level. We work with clients to ensure they maximize every media opportunity and become sought-after sources of authoritative and newsworthy information. We familiarize clients with the interview and public speaking process using professional journalistic resources. Our media training services enable clients to prepare for media interviews, stay on message, streamline their thoughts and formulate timely viewpoints, all key elements to staying top of mind for journalists.
Social Media Campaigns
The social aspect of media is one of ongoing conversation and genuine interaction with investors, clients and prospects – one-way selling is a thing of the past. To be successful, companies must continuously engage all stakeholders through multiple channels.
Our services range from the simple to the sophisticated, and we are always sensitive to the regulatory environments in which our clients operate. We are experts when it comes to advancing your overall communications strategy while still respecting those restrictions.
We help our clients engage with constituents by building communities, executing on content strategy and advocacy campaigns, conducting market research, developing innovative studies and surveys and engaging in visual communications and interactive media. We make sure they are talking to their audience, not at them.
Social Networking Strategies
Social networking strategies have emerged as the new frontier for communicating. A vital tool for connecting with the public, various social media platforms can be confusing, expensive and even risky if they are not approached and managed correctly. We work with our clients to assess the overall benefits and risks to make a determination on an appropriate strategy. We then choose tactics based solely on appropriateness and effectiveness.
Social networking, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, requires a cohesive strategy that encompasses content generation, diligent research, time commitment, risk mitigation tactics and aligns with the target audiences of a company for the strategy to work. You can have 100,000 people following you on Twitter but if they are the wrong people, what good does it do your company? None. To a brand, engaging with the wrong people has many potential pitfalls.
Speaker's Bureau Program
A speaking engagement can help enhance a company's thought leadership positioning. The right ones can distinguish a firm from the competition and provide direct, intimate contact with key influencers. JCPR researches and secures speaking engagements for company personnel and outside experts, whether it's in the U.S. or abroad.

I'm also experiencing this issue. To answer these questions:
1. http://guildwork.com/games/ffxi/shouts Do they work on this page?
2. When was the last time you reloaded the plugin?
Just now.
3. Is there anything in gw/Guildwork.log ?
It's currently empty because I just reloaded the plugin, but I checked it prior to that and it only had the 404 on ffxidb.com/kills.
I am not behind a firewall, nor am I running AV software. If I run the shouts command, I get a dump of the most recent shouts.Nekura

Fall off the bone ribs are a favorite of mine. Succulent, savory, slightly sweet, and so tender that you don't notice, or don't care about, the grease on your fingers. These are pretty simple to make too: marinade, oven, glaze, and you're done! Just make sure to have plenty of napkins ready.
Sweet and Tangy Spare Ribs
For 6 appetizer servings
1 rack pork spareribs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), cut into individual ribs
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
Brown Sugar Glaze:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Have your butcher cut spare ribs into serving-size pieces. Remove excess fat. Combine marinade ingredients; pour over spareribs. I just popped mine into a freezer bag. Marinade in the fridge for two hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325F
Pull the spare ribs out of the marinade and place them into a shallow roasting pan. Cover pan with foil and roast at 325F for 1 hour, then take out of the oven and pour out the fat. Increase heat to 425F and roast, uncovered, for 45 minutes, basting often with marinade in pan.
Combine the glaze ingredients, whisking together as best you can (the brown sugar won't fully dissolve). Take the spare ribs out of the oven, flip, and brush the ribs with the brown sugar glaze. Turn up the oven to broil, return the ribs to the oven, and broil for 5-10 minutes, until the brown sugar has caramelized and the ribs are nicely browned.
Serve alone or with your favorite hot sauce or bbq sauce.

Another weekend, another round of protests here in Spain by the indignados, or "the outraged", demanding an end to cuts and other austerity measures. I was taking a walk along the Gran Via yesterday when one troupe of demonstrators from Badalona came marching down the road, blocking traffic and shouting their uncoordinated, mismatched chants (for someone used to Korean demonstrations, Spanish protests are rather underwhelming).
But protest quality aside, what is most irksome is seeing how profoundly all involved in Spain — the pro-austerity crowd and the indignados — continue to miss the point.
On the one hand, cutting and slashing budgets in Spain (and much of Europe) are terribly bad macroeconomics. This budget was in surplus with a very small debt when the economic crisis happened, and austerity now in such a miserable economy only creates more problems than it is supposed to cure.
On the other hand, so much of Spain is still so horribly inefficient. Businesses have 20 people doing the work of four or five in, say, New York. One cultural organization I know here in Barcelona has 18 people employed in its tourism division — despite not offering any tours of its facilities or doing anything tourism-related. It's crazy. The good years of 1996-2006 or so led to massive bureaucratic expansion, much of which is still in place.
So what solutions are politicians talking about? Instead of trying to figure out how to make the reforms that are needed to make Spain more efficient while creating projects that will help Spain in the long-term, we get arguments about Catalan independence. Instead of cutting the fat and adding to the efficient, we have institutions cutting the meat and protecting the fat.
People aren't dumb, and as the Spanish political system proves itself to be thoroughly useless in solving the country's problems, Spaniards are rapidly losing faith in the political system:
So we will very soon be in a situation in which the four main parties in Spain—the ones represented in the Metroscopia survey—all have around or less than 20% support, within a political and constitutional system that is rotting away all by itself due to so much corruption, incapable of bringing about the institutional changes necessary to adapt Spain to a new century, and in which there is no realistic alternative anywhere on the horizon capable of governing the country.
Of course, with the European economy as a whole shrinking for six quarters in a row — worse than the initial crisis of 2008/9 — it's not like the rest of the continent is doing much better. It's a beautiful place, but I'm happy I'll be moving on soon.

The lowdown on DJ Rosalyn Lee's Halloween costumes
Text: Denise Ngo
Photos: Rosalyn Lee
There's a line in Mean Girls where Lindsay Lohan's character says, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
But for 987FM's Rosalyn "Rozz" Lee, Halloween's the one night a year where she can let her freak flag fly. Like Lindsay's character Cady, who shows up at a party full of sexy woodland creatures dressed like a zombie bride, Rozz prefers being the ghoul among seas of scantily clad nurses, dominatrices, and Catholic school girls.
For the past five years, Rozz has made it a point to celebrate Halloween by donning the most ridiculous get-ups possible. In 2008, she came as Heath Ledger's Joker, complete with a gun, a greenish wig, and a grisly smile. In 2009, she dressed up as Gene Simmons from K.I.S.S.. In 2010, she came in her most elaborate guise ever: a red devil with a staff, red body paint, and glued-on horns. In 2011, she came as Zip Face, which effectively robbed her friends of their appetites.
"[Inspiration] usually comes from the depths of my imagination," Rozz said, while speaking to xinmsn a couple of weeks before Halloween this year. "There are usually dark gothic things in there, and I never veer too far from them."
Rozz began going out in costume when she was 21, while working in Channel 5's casting department. That year, she and some of the other staff celebrated Halloween by going out dressed as goths. Her costumes became more and more dramatic as the years went by, until she finally started doing them of her own accord.
Upon joining 987FM, Rozz and former co-host Shan Wee made it a tradition to outdo themselves every Halloween with an elaborate pair of costumes. This year, Rozz showed up at Clarke Quay dressed like the Terminator, complete with a flashing bionic eye.
How exactly did she do it? Click through our gallery to learn more about the process – as well as Rozz's experience – wearing these elaborate costumes year after year.

Hi: 18° Lo:11° 7 day
A BROMSGROVE woman who served as a Wren in the Second World War is being given the chance to go back to one of the places she was based at during the conflict, thanks to a Big Lottery Fund scheme.
Wendy Hogarth, now 89, joined the Fleet Air Arm of the Women's Royal Naval Service and, after being trained as a radar mechanic testing aircraft equipment, she was relocated to Arbroath.
Prior to being moved to Scotland, she was at RAF Defford and met her husband-to-be George, a Scottish night fighter pilot who flew Mosquitoes. Later he undertook intruder patrols, flying out seeking targets to bomb, such as trains and ammunition depots.
Wendy and George married in September 1944, four months after they had met, but were separated a short time later when Wendy was relocated.
But, while on leave, George visited her in Arbroath and the couple had a memorable new year's eve together.
Sadly George passed away in 2011, just before his 90th birthday, but now, Wendy is returning to the Victorian mansion, Letham Grange, in Arbroath, to bring back those happy memories of that new year's eve.
She said: "Those days were very important to us – when we bought our first house we called it 'Letham' and our second 'Letham House'.
"This is why I want to return to Arbroath - those few days together that new year were very special.
"George came up on leave and we stayed in a hotel on the main square.
"What a difference new year's eve was – the town went mad – dancing in the streets and bands playing."
She said being apart was nothing unusual during the war.
"I never worried too much about him – I guess we were young and very positive and never thought anything would happen to us.
"We wrote to each other a lot – loved ones writing to each other everyday was not unusual during the war."
Wendy's trip to Arbroath has been organised through the Heroes Return 2 programme.
More than £25million has been awarded to over 52,000 Second World War veterans, widows, spouses and carers, since 2004.
The cash has paid for journeys in the UK, to France, Germany, the Middle East, the Far East and beyond.
And now, veterans will be able to apply for funding to go a second time.
Wendy is looking forward to her trip and is urging other Second World War veterans to apply to the fund.
The Big Lottery Fund's head of region for the West Midlands, John Taylor, said it was an honour and a pleasure to be helping the veterans make a Heroes Return commemorative visit.
"They let us know how important these visits are to them - whether it be a trip to London's Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, a visit to the beaches of Normandy, or journeys to war cemeteries in the Far East.
"The experiences they revisit remind us we must never take for granted the peace this generation secured for all of us and the debt we owe for the freedoms we enjoy and value today."
For more on the scheme and how to apply, call the Heroes Return helpline on 0845 00 00 121 or visit www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/heroesreturn

Having A Birthday party of a Filipino and Filipino-American is fun and lots of food around, Filipinos and Filipino-Americans have a closed knit and extended family ties like the Italians and Greeks that is why there is a saying that if you marry a filipino or filipina, you also marry tha family hence birthdayn parties are well attended and with food aplenty and you also have free styrofoam boxes to get the left over foods for free. There is also singing and dancing aplenty. This filipino traditon is also followed by the Filipino Diaspora at the Bay Area.
