Criminal and Traffic Violation Law Attorneys in Massachusetts:
We found these attorneys in Massachusetts:
Need to Find an Attorney in MA? Here are some Tips for Selecting a Lawyer
Often, the best humor exposes a painful truth. When we find ourselves in need of an attorney, all of us want to find one we can trust, a person who will do good work, fight hard for us, and protect our rights. Think about this woefully incomplete list of life events that create the need for legal representation: buying or selling a home, making a will, adopting a child, if you've been in an accident, been the victim of abuse or are going through divorce, or been accused of a crime. When the time comes, here are my two general bits of advice: (1) Understand that not all lawyers are the same. There are huge differences in intelligence, diligence, experience and personality. (2) Don't be afraid to ask questions and hurt feelings. Lawyers understand that attorney-client relationships are most successful when all parties enter willingly and with their eyes open. Now for the specifics. Most experts recommend the following steps when seeking an attorney or a law firm: • Figure out what type of lawyer you need. I know, it sounds silly, but, in your initial research, look for an attorney who claims to have the type of experience you need (e.g., personal injury law, business creation, taxation, estate planning, etc.) • Ask people you know and trust if they can recommend an attorney. • Meet or talk to your possible choices and ask them; (1) about their experience with your type of legal issue, (2) how often they will update you on the case or legal issue and by what means (e.g., letter, email, etc.), (3) their hourly rate and estimate of the total cost to deal with your matter, (4) how they intend to handle the matter and what you will need to do to assist them, (5) for references from people they have worked for, and (6) whether they have malpractice insurance (a good thing). • After each attorney interview, check your gut: How did he or she make you feel? Did he address your questions with honesty and patience? Remember, he will be on his best behavior during this first meeting, so if he does not impress, move on. • Finally, make sure any attorneys you are considering have not been disciplined or sanctioned. Go to web site for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers (www.mass.gov/obcbbo) and click on "Look up Lawyers Address and Status." Good luck. The Editor
I once saw a cartoon in a magazine showing two men standing at a party, drinks in hand, looking at a third man on the other side of the room. The punch line read: "Yes, Jim, I KNOW he's a rabid, unpleasant, pit-bull of a lawyer, but he's MY rabid, unpleasant, pit-bull of a lawyer.

"older hotel but it was just fine"
Reviewed Feb 28, 2014
lifeisverygood2 | Albuquerque
My husband and I stayed at this location for several nights in a row. It was in the area of town where we needed to be. We would recommend it because of the price, location and quietness of the rooms. Also, the staff was extremely helpful. It's an older hotel, but there's nothing about it that's not comfortable. It was very busy while we were there and other guests were staying all around us, but our room was totally quiet. The rooms are good size and the bathrooms are also spacious and we didn't feel cramped at all. When we left, we got a call a few hours later telling us that we'd forgotten a hanging bag in the closet. Were we ever thankful that they called! The closet is behind the room door at an angle and it's easy to overlook that closet when getting ready to leave.

"Gem at Superstition Springs Blvd"
Reviewed Feb 21, 2014
giddles | Lethbridge Alberta
We flew with Allegiant Air from Great Falls Montana for a 2 week stay in Mesa from January 31st to February 13th. We chose La Quinta Inn & Suites on Superstition Springs Blvd because it appeared to be in the center of things ( shopping, restaurants etc.) and we were not disappointed. When we arrived Troy picked us up with the shuttle at Mesa/Gateway airport. A young lady at the hotel front desk suggested that our request for a room on a higher floor facing the south ( pool area ) would not be accommodated because the hotel was full. Sabrina, another lady at the front desk, came to the rescue and arranged room 410 for us with king bed on the south side ( thank you Sabrina ). This was an excellent room with microwave and refrigerator and comfortable table with two chairs so we could occasionally have lunch or dinner in our room rather than going out to restaurants all the time ( Costco has large barbecued chickens for $5.00- delicious together with one of their salads ). Continental breakfast is also provided on the main floor of the hotel with a reasonable assortment of fruit, cereal, muffins, toast, bagels, boiled eggs, waffles, yogurt, milk coffee and tea. Troy is in charge of maintenance at the hotel and he is very helpful if you require assistance ( and a friendly smile every time we saw him ) . Other staff including housekeeping were also friendly and accommodating. We had arranged beforehand to rent a car for a week and the hotel actually paid for a taxi to take us to the airport to pick the car up. Had a great time travelling around to Sedona, Tombstone and out on the Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat. Make sure you drive west on Southern Avenue in Mesa and take in the Organ Stop Pizza restaurant where they have a huge pipe organ installed at one end of the building. We went there at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday and the organist put on a great show. We love to walk and the La Quinta is in an excellent spot for that. There are a number of restaurants within a block or two of the hotel and more about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away ( around Superstition mall just to the north of the hotel across Superstition Freeway ). Walmart, Target. Kmart and various other stores are also in this area. Chase Bank and a Credit Union are also only a short walk away if you need to use the ATM. We had only been to Phoenix once before and did not see Mesa/Apache Junction area so this was a good holiday in a super location do a little exploring. We were very happy with our stay here. The only complaint we have is with the La Quinta chain itself. We have a La Quinta membership that allows you to accumulate points towards a future free night stay. We found out after our trip that La Quinta wouldn't honor points for the 14 nights in Mesa because we booked and paid beforehand with AMA in Alberta and funds had to be requisitioned by La Quinta through American Tours International in Las Angeles. La Quinta told us this was considered to be a discount transaction because we got the room at a somewhat lower than posted rate so no La Quinta points are awarded. Not sure if it's worthwhile bothering with some of these membership programs!!

This is our second time staying at this LaQuinta. It is central to a lot of things we want to do in the area. We can walk to dinner, or drive short distances to stores, etc. It's just very convenient. The staff is friendly and the hotel is clean. We'll be back next year.

PlaidTraveler | Midwest, USA
The La Quinta Inn & Suites on the east side of Mesa is what it is, a good place for a short term stay. The room was relatively clean, however, the carpet was stained. The elevator is missing a piece of hardwood flooring and could withstand a good scrubbing, as could the floor of the pool. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel is close to many restaurants. We will most likely stay at the hotel again only because of its proximity to family and the fact it is one of few options in eastern Mesa.

MichiGoGo | Lansing, Michigan
I was traveling with dogs so I needed to find a dog-friendly hotel near Apache Junction. This La Quinta was perfect for that. I'd been staying at Red Roofs along my journey and I can't say enough about how much better quality the La Quinta is over Red Roof. It is pricier for sure, but if you want a quality stay rather than just a cheap one, this is the way to go!

Latest Reviews for Engagement Rings
The ring is stunning. I was on a tight time schedule to get it and at the last minute I had to change the size. They still managed to get it out on the day they promised and I received it in plenty of time for my big moment. Thank you blue nile!!
I was nervous when buying this ring online, I was also nervous that the decision I made was the right one. There were other rings that I looked back on and I questioned if I made the right choice after placing my order. After I got the ring in the mail, all of my worries left me. This is a gorgeous ring, it glitters happily and is very elegant. I am proposing to my girlfriend with it tomorrow and I know she will think the same.
It was perfect, and really made the center stone pop.. she was floored. I wouldn't recommend going any smaller than .5ct with this one, mine was .65 with an ideal cut and when I opened the box I got super happy because I knew I'd made the best choice! Blue nile is awesome.

Final Armada Hovercraft Combat Game Coming to Sony PSP
Quick Reply
Virgin PLAY today announced the signing of its publishing contract with I - Imagine studios to publish Final Armada for PAL territories PlayStation 2 and PSP. Here is more info on the game:
Final Armada is a mission - based vehicle combat game. Players will battle in a war for a newly discovered and immensely powerful crystal energy resource.
PS2 Screens:
Packed with ferocious combat action, shock and awe special effects and a filmic story line, Final Armada is sure to be wildly addictive and explosive good fun.
The player will control ?The Aggressor? a transforming hovercraft that can be upgraded by collecting alien technology crystals. Players will also be able to take command of the mothership?s gun turrets.
During the game missions, the player will be able to issue commands to his wingman. The wingman can be used to attack specific targets or to unleash a super attack.
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
? With both wheeled and hover modes the Aggressor vehicle gives the player realistic multi-mode physics and strategic choice for vehicular combat
? Issue commands to your wingman for aerial cover, attack support, and delivery of super attacks.
? Battle enemies using the turrets of the Monolith mobile base
? Earn numerous vehicle upgrades by collecting alien Nano-techs dispersed in levels throughout the game
? Explosive vehicle combat action: fight and destroy squadrons of enemy vehicles as well as colossal bosses. Battles are jam-packed with explosions and flying missiles.
Game Modes
Single Player Story Mode
In this mode players take on the role of Lt. Zake Andersen as he battles to regain control of Taro-469 after a devastating alien assault.. The story mode contains 20 levels filled with a variety of mission objectives and battles.
Story Mode Overview
The story mode will begin with Zake in a training simulator. Here Lieutenant Hawk will guide the player through a series of handling and combat manoeuvres to familiarize the player with the gameplay controls.
Most missions will have the player controlling the Aggressor ground vehicle. However some missions will allow the player to control a turret.
During the briefing, mission objectives will be highlighted to the player. These objectives must be met in order to successfully complete a level. In some missions new objectives will be added midway through the mission.
In addition to completing the mission, players can collect Nanotech gems. Some gems will be hidden in the level while others will become available after destroying enemies.
A guerrilla war is raging on Taro-469 between the human-owned Ecco Corporation and the ruthless alien Naz?Ha over the Lazari crystals, a unique and powerful energy source that seems to be found only on Taro-469.
The Naz?Ha invaded the former corporate colony, massacring the colonists. With their superior technology powered by the Lazari crystal, the Naz?Ha have annihilated four waves of Ecco?s retaliatory attacks over the past six months.
It was only after Ecco was able to capture a Naz?Ha vehicle that the corporation?s scientists were able to unlock the secrets of utilising the energy source and thereby meet the aliens on an equal playing field.
The Background
ECCO Corporation:
The ECCO Corporation is one of Earth?s five main Megacorps. As one of the big 5 the ECCO Corporation together with the other Megacorps dominate all economic activity within the Earth Co-prosperity Sphere.
Currently employing over 60 million staff across 52 company colonized planets.
Being the ?youngest? of the Big 5, ECCO Corp has invested Trillions of e-dollars in planetary explorations and development. Prepared to take more risks then the more conservative Megacorps, ECCO has explored, colonized and set-up mining operations in regions much further out from the Earth Co-prosperity Sphere then any other Megacorp, and is the only Megacorp to have explorations teams and colonies in the Orion Nebula, some 1500 light years from Earth, and over a 1000 light years further away then the furthest earth Colony
Earth Co-prosperity Sphere:
The ECS encompasses 168 planets in a region centred on Earth that stretches out 500 Light years. With 42 major planets each with populations exceeding 1 Billion and tied together by vast networks of interstellar travel lanes. The Megacorps dominate the majority of trade and control all travel between planets. The ECS government although democratically elected, is controlled by the Megacorps.
The ECS Defence Forces have a two-fold mission. The primary mission is the protection of the economic lifeblood of the ECS, the shipping lanes and the vast fleets of trade transports that move between planets. The secondary mission is the protection of the major planets from the unlikely event of a hostile alien force.
To date the EDF has primarily been engaged in anti-piracy mission, and the suppression of labour revolts on smaller colonies.
The EDF is fully funded by the Megacorps, and all Megacorps have to contribute fleets of Battle Armada?s for use by the EDF. The Big 5 Megacorps each have to contribute 10 Armada?s, each Armada consists of 25 Battle Ships and over 50 thousand combat troops. The EDF forces are used only for planetary defence and patrolling the space lanes of the ECS. Planets that are outside of the ECS are protected by the Megacorps Military divisions own Armadas. Each Megacorp is restricted to a maximum of 5 Armada?s that are not under the direct control of the ECS.
Orion Nebula:
A Luminous cloud of gas and dust 1,500 light years away, in the constellation Orion, from which stars are forming. It is about 15 light years in diameter, and contains enough gas to make a cluster of thousands of stars.
At the nebula?s centre is a group of hot young stars, called the Trapezium, which make the surrounding gas glow. The nebula is visible to the naked eye as a misty patch below the belt of Orion.
Taro-469 was discovered when the Exploration Probe EP-469?s FTL star drive failed and it re-emerged into normal space not far from the planet. The Recovery ship under commander of Captain Mellisa Taro, was dispatched to recover and repair the probe. The newly discovered planet was named Taro-469 after Captain Taro and the exploration Probe EP-469.
Taro-469 is unique in that it is the only planet in the solar system and has 6 moons in close proximity, one of which is being pulled apart by tidal forces. The sun, a white Dwarf star has not been named yet as the ECCO Corporations Naming committee is still investigating whether Captain Taro naming the Star ?sleepy? after one of the Dwarfs in the Snow White Fairy tale is appropriate.
The mineral survey team dispatched to Taro-469 found a vast array of previously unknown minerals that have proven to be highly useful. The mining and colonization of Tar-469 was accelerated. The first mining of the planet started only 6 months after its discovery.
In the fifteen years since its discovery Taro-469 had become the single most profitable planet within the ECCO Corporation.
Conveys of robotic freighters have been delivering mega-tons of minerals from Taro-469 uninterrupted for the past 12 years until they suddenly stopped 3 years ago together with all communications with the colonists and miners.
The story so far:
After losing communications with Taro-469, the ECCO Corp regional HQ, diverted the exploration probe EP-1843 to investigate. When communication with the probe was abruptly lost, alarm bells started going of, and the 1st ECCO Armada was dispatched to Investigate. The 1st Armada abruptly vanished as soon as they transited out of Sub-Space in orbit around Taro-469.
The 2nd Armada was sent, this time with orders to transit into the outer reaches of Taro-469 and investigate from a distance. When the 2nd Armada failed to report, panicked management sent in the 3rd & 4th Armada together with orders to annihilate everything in site.
Only 2 badly damages cruisers managed to transit back to HQ, with the devastating news of the complete destruction of the combined Armada?s and the occupation of Taro-469 and the surrounding space by unknown superior Alien Force.
The destruction of 4 of its 5 Armada?s was a significant blow to the ECCO Corp, sending shockwaves through senior management, and precipitating an attempted boardroom coup by middle management.
With most management either ducking for cover or fighting corporate boardroom battles the ECCO Military took direct control of all remaining combat forces. Their first task was to investigate and find out more about this unknown alien race.
With only one last Armada left, and no hope of the ECS Military allowing the ECCO Corp to withdraw any of its Armada?s committed to the ECSDF the company was forced to improvise new tactics.
The ECCO Corporation Military sent in the Planetary Scouts, an elite mobile fighting force, whose mission was to scout, find out more about this alien menace and to discover what is actually happening on Taro-469.
The penetration by a small number of Planetary Scouts was successful and it was discovered that the aliens had invaded the planet, destroying most of the colony and its mining facilities. All that was left of the previous 4 Armada?s sent by the ECCO Corp, was a debris field of wreckage strew in orbit around Taro-469.
The Planetary Scouts discover that the aliens are harvesting and using the Lazarus Crystals and this seems to be their primary motivation for the attack on Taro-469 and the destruction of the ECCO corps mightily armadas.
The ECCO CORP and its colonists had previously ignored the Lazarus crystals as just an interesting phenomenon on the planet and nothing as important as the minerals that had been mined by the ECCO Corp.
The Alien Naz?Ha:
The Naz?Ha, are an ancient migratory race. They traverse the galaxy in enormous swarms of thousands of spaceships, stopping only every few thousands years, to harvest the Lazarus crystals, on planets that had been seeded Millennia before, in previous migrations.
The Lazarus Crystal is more the just a power source for the Naz?Ha, it is used in almost every aspect of Naz?Ha life. Ecco?s Scientist?s studying the unique properties of the crystal believe that it may even be a new form of life, or maybe even part of the Naz?Ha reproductive cycle, but these are only speculations.
Ecco scientists have discovered that the crystals have enormous energy storage capacities, and believe that crystals not only grow as they store more and more energy, but that they do so over thousands of years. Absorbing, all forms of radiation and converting that into energy
Col. Zake Andersen, 26.
Zake has always been a loyal Company Man. He was orphaned at 11 when his parents, who both worked at Ecco Corp. were killed in an industrial accident..
Zake was taken in by Ecco and raised in one of the corporation?s private schools, where youth are trained to serve the company. Based on his skills, intelligence and potential, he was recruited for the corporation?s elite security forces.
Flight Lt. Jenna Madrid, 19
Jenna is a prodigy. Young and fiercely competitive, she?s a bit of a hothead, but her superb piloting skills make up for her bravado ? at least most of the time. There is some real chemistry between Jenna and Zake.
Lt Hawk
Lieutenant Hawk is a veteran fighter. His knowledge of battle tactics and his unbelievable skills in attack vehicles makes him a highly sought out fighter pilot. On board the Monolith Lieutenant Hawk helps put pilots through their paces in the simulator room.
Professor Zulman
Deemed a genius at the age of 12, Professor Zulman was the youngest graduate from Stellar University. His extensive knowledge in nano-technology, led him to join an exploratory mission to Taro-469. Zulman will be key to building new upgrades for vehicles using Nanotech?s discovered on the planet.
Commander Gorgon is here to oversee the mission. He?s a veteran of many company campaigns and perhaps getting a little over the hill. He?s a hard man, but fair.
The Aggressor PS-CV is the main player vehicle that is utilized in the majority of missions of the game. The vehicle can transform between two modes, driving mode and hover mode.
In driving mode the Aggressor navigates the terrain using highly durable all-weather wheels. In this mode the vehicle is able to travel faster and recharge its shields.
The hover mode is ideal for combat as it allows for faster turning and also strafing which maybe crucial during a head to head encounter. The vehicles main speed is slower in hover mode, and shield regeneration is disabled as all energy is routed to the hover capability.
Aggressor in hover mode
The Aggressor weapon systems consist of both primary and secondary weapons. There are two primary weapons, one in each of the vehicle modes. The driving mode is equipped with the T12 Gatling Gun, which is highly effective against enemy armour, while the hover mode utilizes the Rapid Burst Laser weapon system, which is more effective against shields. Both these primary weapons need to remain within acceptable temperature ranges in order to function. Hence if they are continually fired these weapons may overheat and will require time while the weapon electronic cooling system brings the temperatures back to acceptable levels.
The secondary weapon system has up to five weapons that can be interchanged during gameplay. Each weapon has its own characteristics, such as homing, damage and range.
The player throughout the game can upgrade the Aggressor vehicle. Upgrades can be acquired for armour, shield regenerations and weapon systems.
The Annihilator Airborne Assault Vehicle is a high altitude hover vehicle that is controlled by the wingman.
Annihilator Airborne Assault Vehicle
Much like the Aggressor the Annihilator has both primary and secondary weapons. In addition the Annihilator can be upgraded with up to three super attacks.
The player can command the wingman to attack specific targets or call the wingman back to defend the Aggressor.
The three super attacks are as follows:
Laser Spin
This attack can be used against all nearby air units
Bombing Run
This super attack can be used against all nearby ground units
This super attack effects all nearby air and ground enemy units
Monolith Mobile Base
The PS-MB Monolith is the mobile base from which Ecco Corps assaults are launched. Different areas of the mobile base will be visited during the cut-scenes in between missions. When the player is on the mobile base he will be presented with the game menu where he will be able to save the game, change the game options or start the next mission.
The mobile base consists of the following main rooms:
1. Crew quarters
This is where the crew sleeps in between missions. Each bunk has its own LCD HUD display, used for private communication.
2. Scientist Lab
Once the scientist has been rescued, the scientist lab will become accessible to the player. This is where the player will come to acquire new upgrades for the vehicle.
3. Simulation Room
The simulation room is a holographic room with a VR-simulator. This room will be used for training and will also contain a variety of mini-games that the player can compete in. When training is not required, a menu will appear that will allow the player to select the simulation of their choice.
4. Briefing Room
Most briefings for each mission will take place in the briefing room. The briefing room seats multiple pilots and has a screen projector that displays the mission waypoints and objectives.
5. Turret Stations
The mobile base has numerous turret stations. These are usually controlled by the onboard systems. However during a malfunction the turrets can be controlled manually. When a malfunction occurs Zake will be ordered to take control of a turret and will have to defend the mobile base.
6. Docking Station, Launch Tube & Repair Bay
The vehicles are stored in the docking station where repairs are also routinely carried out. Vehicles descend by elevator to the launch tube and are then cleared for departure by the command deck.
7. Bar/Canteen
When not in combat most pilots take a well-deserved break at the bar and canteen area. Top pilot scores are recorded on the electronic screen. The pilots like to compete for the number one spot. Part of the story will unfold during conversations between Zake and the other pilots.
8. Command Deck
This is where the commander can usually be found. The room consists of the command chair along with stations for communications, navigation and radar.
Vehicle Attributes:
Vehicles can have the following attributes:
1. Armour Strength
This value determines the strength of the armour. Each weapon can inflict variable damage to the armour. Only once armour reaches 0 is the vehicle destroyed. Vehicles can be upgraded with new and stronger armour types.
2. Shield Strength
This value determines the strength for the shield. Most weapons will first need to deplete a vehicles shield in order to penetrate the armour. Shield can be upgraded with new and stronger shield types.
3. Shield Regeneration
Vehicles equipped with shield regeneration technology can restore their shields. The speed at which regeneration occurs is dependent on the regeneration upgrade that has been acquired. The Aggressor is limited to regeneration only in the standard driving mode.
Nanotech Upgrades
Final Armada will have numerous upgrades for both the Aggressor as well the Annihilator vehicle. A menu with the available upgrades is displayed when the player selects the upgrade option from the main game menu.
Each upgrade requires a fixed number of nanotech crystals in order to be produced. During a game mission players will be able to collect nanotech crystals strewn throughout the level as well as those awarded from destruction of certain enemies and objects.
All of the upgrades will be visible in the upgrade menu from the start of the game, however the stronger the upgrade the higher the amount of nanotech crystals required. Players may choose to forgo simple upgrades in order to acquire stronger upgrades earlier.

Personal Branding & The Future
This article got me thinking about the future. What is a company if not the summary of the talent it can attract? Your brand is about to be very important to hiring managers. The tribe you create and the brand you project should and will be evaluated against the goals and aspirations of the companies you contribute to.
I'm an "all in" guy. When I work for someone I give them all I have, but these days it is important to reserve some energy and time for developing your personal brand. Instead of disloyal working on YOU is the most "loyal" thing you can do.
Most companies think of themselves as a thing apart from their people. They have a building and so an identity apart from their people. Not so much as it turns out.
In our not too distant social and connected future any company is the sum of its social and connected parts. Work on developing your brand daily and it will pay you big return in your next job interview or career change.
Added an interesting related story to GPlus
Great Stephen Van Delinder's insight:
Your company is comprised of the people you hire. Their influence, ideas, and professional character ultimately shape your brand. Social influence is extremely important, and it has never been easier to reach the masses with positive or negative news. I have mentioned this before but resumes are a thing of the past. More abundant (and frankly more accurate) info is available online and is updated in real time.
I love Marty's insight about being "All in." I think (provided you are in the right job) there can be a tremendous overlap between person and professional brand-making your affiliation with an employer a symbiotic relationship.

Content - Regardless of form or viewing device, video is an ideal medium to engage, inform, and entertain prospective buyers and clients. Here's what you need to know to get in on ...
Wrote a long note about my frustration with how videographers sell their services that got sucked into the great vortex. These are great tips and I need 20 to 50 videos BUT I need each video to cost HUNDREDS not THOUSANDS.
Feels like someone should be able to appify video creation like Piktochart just did for infographics (review here http://sco.lt/5Lv4dt ). Wish a video vendor would solve the PAIN since learning to create my own feels like a bridge too far even though the need is a simple and templated one.

In the new world for Millennials, the paradigm is personal branding. And it's only becoming more personal.
Marty Note
I feel for the the Millenials. This "Generation Y" group born roughly in the 1980s to the early 2000s have LESS of almost everything. They have less investment in training by the companies they join. They have less opportunities by virtue of the digital economy and grinding recession. They must educate and brand themselves.
This is a great Curatti post. Here is my favorite section:
"Simon Sinek, author of "The Power of Why" and the TED talk everyone should see, explores branding from the perspective of "why", not "what" as people traditionally are told to think. He cites Apple and their belief that great technology should be beautiful, easy to use, and be met with good customer service. Only after does Apple mention those strengths is there a call to action, as opposed to most other products which start with the reason, and hit on why later on in the conversation or advertisement."
Great perspective everyone must master since, like the Millennials, we are in charge of what we stand for and its expression in the world otherwise known as our personal brand.
Great Point from Jan Gordon about Millenial Advantages
Thanks Marty, for the scoop, love your insights. Yes, the Millennials have their challenges like any other generation but they have the advantage of technology and social networking, no longer tied to a resume but a digital footprint that is a living breathing story of who they are - personal branding is a must today which puts them at an advantage if they do it right.

4AM Waking Dream About Startups, Content Curation & Why You Shouldn't Find A "Job"
Not sure if I slept last night (lol). Working on my +Triangle StartUp…
After an allnighter I am paying for today I wrote about startups, waking dreams and why you are never "out of work". Sometimes you are paying yourself to do what you love, but you are never out of work since work is life and vice versa.
The last thing you ever need is a "JOB". Jobs suck. Jobs are things you do for money and you shouldn't spend any longer than necessary trading something of HIGH value like your time for something of low value like money.
Jobs are OUT, movements are in. Join movements. Contribute to movements. Love movements, don't get a "job".

A blog post is a great way to add extra value to your website and it's a proven strategy for attracting new customers. The catch is that you have to add new content all the time.
Some of these tips are excellent, some stink. Be Controversial is a good example of a stinker. If you are Morton Downey then yes be controversial, but if you are NOT naturally controversial putting that air on to game the system is stupid.
There are no secrets anymore and you won't be able to maintain a mask long enough to establish a brand so why do it? Best idea is to do what comes naturally to you, tell the stories you know and keep your eyes and ears peeled.
Next best thing to do is hand the keys over and let others write, curate and contribute. When people consistently help out GIVE THEM A JOB. Ask them to monitor a section of your blog or website, ask them to tweet or provide guest blog posts.
Asking for something may be the ultimate confirming signal. The web is a huge lie detecting amplifier. Never become something you aren't to get links, social shares or traffic. You won't be able to maintain the masquerade and life is too short anyway.
There are some good tips mixed in such as ask questions and communicate the value and who the post is for. More good tips than bad here :). M

Internet marketing is all about try, try and try again!
Not everything will work today, maybe it was the wrong type of content, the wrong platform or bad timing.
Don't be focused on the numbers. I've seen many big brands do a post on a platform like Slideshare and only get a few 100's of views. They don't give up they spin the content and use it on a different platform.
There is a right and wrong to internet marketing. The WRONG is never trying or testing your ideas. The RIGHT is have one more viewer than yourself.

Hearing "cancer" and my name in the same sentence helped create strategies proving helpful with managing the VEGAS that is social media marketing.
Cancer helped me create tactics I'm using now to keep Social Media in check. Tactics such as:
* Praise is great but rarely located in time where it belongs.
* Failure suffers a similar fate. Time changes failure to success.
* Forgiving myself helps forgive others.
* Loving myself, warts and all, helps love others.
* Each day has magic & pain, both are helpful and good (in the long run).
* When time is short, and it always is, do what you love with those you love.

Readers of My Scoops know how much I admire Scoop.it gamification. Their leaderboard is masterful and motivating because it only shows people you are "running" with.
If I saw Robin Good's daily views (usually in the thousands) I would be de-motivated. As it is it never feels like my curation on Scoop.it is futile
One great use for Scoop.it's My Community "leaderboard" is to check to see if YOUR views are slow or if the WEB is slow. Today is a good example. With the south snarled in ICE My Scoop.it views are down about 30% from where they are by this time of the day.
Quick check of the MyCommunity board shows my views are not significantly behind other curators in my group - translation is the web's views are "slow" today so no need to panic.
By creating such a valuable feedback loop Scoop.it becomes a valuable tool for Internet marketers who can answer a key question - is us US or the Web?

I write out of FEAR. Writing, ability so many take for granted is a magic carpet ride for me. I had dyslexia so bad in 2nd grade I had to draw stick figures above words I was trying to spell.
I write every day now to keep gears oiled, share discoveries and the joy of being alive. The second brick that fell into the dam for me was hearing "cancer" and my name in the same sentence.
"Wait," I remember thinking, "There was supposed to be more time. As it turned out there was more time, but getting into the habit of writing and sharing 1,000 words a day helps me feel I'm not taking TIME for granted nearly as much as before.
This note links to GooglePlus where two friends kid me about being verbose. I wanted to be sure and share WHY I write daily - because I'm scared if I stop writing or slow down rust will set in and I will regret not sharing something that needed sharing.
Both fears may, at this point, be irrational, but the habit is set and beneficial for me. Since reading may be the most voluntary of acts I'd always assumed my "verbosity" was understood (it wasn't) and my readers knew how much joy the ability to match words that float in my mind out through my fingers and to you creates (they didn't).
I write out of a desire to share and because every word reminds me how far we've come. The note on GPlus explains the role my mom played. Moms are amazing and mine wouldn't hear anything other than we had a problem (dyslexia) and for every problem there is a solution. If that meant a little more work then that is what we would do.
Moms are amazing and so are friends. Hope this note on GPlus explains why writing is such a magic carpet ride for me.

PostgreSQL is a robust relational database system with over 25 years of active development that runs on all major operating systems. It is fully ACID compliant, and has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL92 and SQL99 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.
fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19 different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are included. fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, including complete IO latencies and percentiles. Fio is in wide use in many places, for both benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, OpenSolaris, AIX, HP-UX, Android, and Windows.
Lynis is an auditing and hardening tool for Unix derivatives like Linux/BSD/Solaris. It scans systems to detect software and security issues. Besides security-related information, it will also scan for general system information, installed packages, and possible configuration mistakes. The software is aimed at assisting automated auditing, software patch management, and vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix-based systems.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
Berkeley DB (libdb) is a programmatic toolkit that provides embedded database support for both traditional and client/server applications. It includes b+tree, queue, extended linear hashing, fixed, and variable-length record access methods, transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, database recovery, and replication for highly available systems. DB supports C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, and Perl APIs. It supports key-value pair (NoSQL), SQL, and Java Object formatted data. It is available for a wide variety of Unix platforms as well as QNX, Android, Mac OS X, and several varieties of Windows.
Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes, programs, files, directories, and devices on a Unix system. It conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations. It can be used to monitor files, directories, and devices for changes, such as timestamps changes, checksum changes, or size changes. It is controlled via an easy to configure control file based on a free-format, token-oriented syntax. It logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies users about error conditions via customizable alert messages. It can perform various TCP/IP network checks, protocol checks, and can utilize SSL for such checks. It provides an HTTP(S) interface for access.
Socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file, pipe, device (terminal or modem, etc.), socket (Unix, IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), SSL, a client for SOCKS4, or proxy CONNECT. It supports broadcasts and multicasts, abstract Unix sockets, Linux tun/tap, GNU readline, and PTYs. It provides forking, logging, and dumping and different modes for interprocess communication. Many options are available for tuning socat and its channels. Socat can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon), as a daemon-based socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets, as an IP6 relay, or for redirecting TCP-oriented programs to a serial line.

1959 On July 29, 1959, a special meeting of the shareholders was called for the purpose of considering and acting upon two proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation: 1 - That the name of the Company be changed to Utah Construction & Mining Co. from the old name, Utah Construction Company, and 2 - That the authorized capital stock of the Company be increased from 2 million shares to 10 million shares, the par value remaining unchanged at $2.00 per share. Both proposals were approved by the shareholders and became effective on August 10, 1959. Land Development and Special Ventures Moraga Valley - The Company owns over 4,000 acres in Moraga Valley, a few miles east of Oakland, California. This extensive land holding is strategically located to benefit by the growth of the San Francisco Bay region and is being developed at a patient pace designed to achieve maximum project profits. South San Francisco Industrial Park- In South San Francisco the Company created an industrial park by a leveling and filling oeration that rendered more valuable the hilly land and marsh land originally purchased. Alameda - Through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, our Company had important land holdings in the city of Alameda. This land was created by dredging sand from San Francisco Bay; South Shore Center, Inc. is the owner of a shopping center having a building area of 280,000 sq. ft. and land area of 65 acres. South Shore Land Co. owns 335 acres which it is developing as residential lots for resale to residential builders. Vandenberg Village.

Into the Field Again: Re-Examining Charles Darwin's 1835 Geological Work on Isla Santiago (James Island) in the Galápagos Archipelago
A dispute over the provenance of some of Charles Darwins rock collection, now housed at Cambridges Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, led to an expedition to the Galapagos two years ago that in turn has resulted in an entirely new analysis of the geology of the Archipelago. The specimens are part of a collection of some 2500 rocks, minerals and fossils collected by Darwin on his 18311836 voyage aboard HMS Beagle.

Tetrapod World - Science research blog
The Sedgwick Museum's Conservator is providing technical advice & help with field work on a new project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. The project is a consortium research project led by the University of Cambridge (Prof. Jennifer Clack) with members from National Museum of Scotland, British Geological Survey, University of Southampton & University of Leicester.
The team members will study newly discovered Tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs), other vertebrates, invertebrates such as millipedes and scorpions and plant fossils from the Scottish Borders. They will also study the sedimentology & geochemistry of the rocks to help understand the climate & environment of the period when the animals & plants lived.
The fossils fill a gap in the fossil record following a mass extinction at the end of the Devonian. This gap is called Romer's Gap after a famous palaeontologist, Alfred Romer, who noticed that many fossils were absent from the Early Carboniferous, the period immediately after the Devonian mass extinction. The gap covers a period of about 15-20 million years.
Tetrapods during the Devonian were fish like and lived in water. After Romer's Gap Tetrapods become land based. What happened during this crucial period of vertebrate evolution has been based on very few fossils until the new specimens were discovered.
The fossils from the Scottish Borders have been found in rocks that fill this 15-20 million year gap and will help in understanding the evolution of the first fully terrestrial ecosystems.

In 1693, the village of Salem, Massachusetts was overcome with superstitious hysteria. At the peak of the madness some 150 people, male and female, were accused of being witches. 20 of them were killed.
IN SEARCH OF HISTORY ventures back 300 years to unravel the truth from the legends about the SALEM WITCH TRIALS. Discover how the accusers were always young girls not puritanical men, as most believe. See how the families of the victims were granted some financial restitution two decades after watching their loved ones killed. And perhaps most surprising of all, not one of the witches was burned at the stake; 19 were hanged and one was pressed to death.
Drawing extensively on Colonial era documents and accounts, and with testimony from leading scholars like Jane Kamensky of Brandeis University, SALEM WITCH TRIALS exposes the truth about one of the most infamous events in American history.

Keith Phares
Noted by the press for his commanding stage presence, vocal authority, and warm baritone voice, Keith Phares is acclaimed both on the opera and concert stage as one of today's most versatile artists.
During the 2011-12 season Mr. Phares was heard as Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro with Opera Colorado where the Daily Camera wrote "Baritone Keith Phares has the rakish looks and commanding presence necessary for the lecherous and hypocritical, yet somehow sympathetic, Count Almaviva, and his resonant tone in the Act III revenge aria was another breathtaking moment." During the previous season, he joined the San Francisco Symphony and Virginia Symphony for Carmina Burana, and Lehigh University Choral Arts for Ein Deutsches Requiem.
Recent seasons include several high profile debuts with the Opera Company of Philadelphia as Haly in L'italiana in Algeri, Glimmerglass Opera where he played Dandini in a new production of La Cenerentola, Houston Grand Opera for their production of the World Premiere of Jake Heggie's Last Acts, and San Francisco Opera in the Company's premiere of Jake Heggie's Three Decembers, singing opposite Frederica von Stade. His performance was praised for his "rich, accurate voice; good looks; and fine acting ability to the part of Charlie, making his performance the highlight of the production." (San Francisco Classical Voice)
He joined Washington National Opera as Figaro in Il Barbière di Siviglia and as Ned Keene in Peter Grimes, Opera Hamilton as Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus, Portland Opera as Guglielmo in Così fan tutte, and Central City Opera as Charlie in Three Decembers. For his debut with Florentine Opera, he portrayed the title role in Elmer Gantry (the professional commercial recording of which won two GRAMMY Awards), prompting Opera News to write that "Keith Phares's scrupulously rendered Elmer Gantry appears a strong contender for iconographic recognition. Beautifully vocalized and bursting with charismatic smarm (think Burt Lancaster with buttery legato), Phares's achievement will prove a difficult act to follow."
Operatic highlights of recent seasons include his Metropolitan Opera debut, under the baton of James Levine, in the French triple-bill Parade, performances of The Pilot in the Francesca Zambello production of The Little Prince at New York City Opera and Boston Lyric Opera, and Maurice Bendrix in Jake Heggie's The End of the Affair with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City and Madison Opera. He sang the title role of Elmer Gantry in a co-production with Nashville Opera and Montclair State University, Kaiser Overall in Ullmann's Der Kaiser von Atlantis at the Greenwich Music Festival, returned to the stage of the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in a new production of Martín y Soler's Una Cosa Rara, performed as Harlequin in Ariadne auf Naxos at the Dallas Opera, Chou-En Lai in Portland Opera's presentation of Nixon in China, Danilo in The Merry Widow in a return engagement at the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Masetto in the acclaimed Günter Krämer production of Don Giovanni at the Spoleto Festival USA, and Sebastian in the North American premiere of Thomas Adès' The Tempest presented by the Santa Fe Opera in a new production by Jonathan Kent and conducted by Alan Gilbert.
Additional credits of note include Billy Budd at Washington National Opera, Sweeney Todd, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, and Die tote Stadt all at New York City Opera, Don Pasquale, La Cenerentola, and The Mikado for Arizona Opera, Faust and Cold Sassy Tree with Utah Symphony & Opera, Beatrice and Benedict at Santa Fe Opera, The End of the Affair at Madison Opera, and Così fan tutte, and Il Barbiere di Siviglia at Boston Lyric Opera. With the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, he has been seen as Charles Lindbergh in Loss of Eden by Cary John Franklin and as Pip in Miss Havisham's Fire by Dominick Argento.
Concert highlights include Béatrice et Bénèdict with the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Sir Colin Davis, Candide with the San Francisco Symphony and Patrick Summers, Gerald Barry's The Triumph of Beauty and Deceit with Thomas Adès and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a program of Rogers and Hammerstein songs with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and Five Movements for My Father in a program of chamber music by Susan Kander at Weill Hall in New York - his performance coinciding with the commercial release of this work on the Loosecans Music label. He also has been honored to be affiliated for many seasons with the Marilyn Horne Foundation, under whose auspices he has appeared in numerous recitals and master classes throughout the United States.
A graduate of the Juilliard Opera Center, he was a national winner of the 1998 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and a finalist in the 1999 Eleanor McCollum Competition of the Houston Grand Opera. He also has been recognized with a Richard Gaddes Grant from the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and the 2000 Richard F. Gold Career Grant from the Juilliard School of Music.

Keep your eyes on the sky during the pre-dawn hours of Nov. 17-20, because that's when the famous Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak. These meteors are fast (about 40 miles per second) and can leave trails of smoke, according to Astronomy.com. They will appear to radiate from the constellation Leo the Lion and can vary in color.
"Many Leonids are also bright. Usually, the meteors are white or bluish-white, but in recent years some observers reported yellow-pink and copper-colored ones," according to Astronomy.com.
In Evanston, the best place to watch the meteor show is probably a park or open land, without much artificial light. Try Clark Street Beach or another one of the parks along the lakefront.
Here's one of the 10 coolest things to know about the Leonids, from Space.com: "Leonids are spawned by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every 33 years, it rounds the Sun and then goes back to the outer solar system. On each passage across Earth's orbit, Tempel-Tuttle lays down another trail of debris..."
The Leonids shower is so-called because the meteors seem to radiate outward from the constellation Leo. The starting point, called the radiant for obvious reasons, is found in the part of Leo that looks like a backwards question mark.
The Leonids have been called a meteor "storm" (rather than just a "shower") some years, but reports say this year will be limited to "at best 10 to 15 meteors per hour." The last Leonid storm, with thousands of shooting stars per hour, was in 2002.
A report from MSNBC says there is a reason this year's display is a bit different: there will be "two peaks of activity, one on Saturday morning and another on Tuesday morning (Nov. 20)."
What is a meteor? It's the streak of light that we see when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere. The Leonids usually contain many bright meteors with trails that can be seen for several minutes. Fireballs may be seen with the naked eye.
The shower began in mid-November. To see the Leonids, lie outside in a dark place between midnight and dawn. Point your feet east and look carefully.
To make sure you get the best view possible, remember to check the weather forecast and conditions before you head outside to watch.
