Introducing Jessi-Rose!
War Cry Records artists Flowerbox and Dysphunctional Species donate to the Grace Project
In isolated Northern California, the music scene runs on community. Bands don't get very far without
helping one another out, and sometimes that spirit of giving extends to the community at large.
War Cry Records of Point Arena is now donating 5 percent of all sales to the Grace Project, a new
charity that helps special needs families travel. The label is kicking off this initiative with a new album
from Flowerbox to be released April 10 and another album from Dysphunctional Species due later this
The releases coincide with the Ultimate Fighter finale on April 13 in Las Vegas, featuring Urijah Faber,
who has pledged a portion of his purse to the charity as well. Faber and Dysphunctional Species band
leader Prometheus Glover both have special needs individuals in their families and founded the charity
together earlier this year. Based in Point Arena, the Grace Project plans trips for special needs families
that range in scope from giving an inner-city family a chance to recreate in the country, to larger
functions where multiple families come together for activities, adventures, relaxation, concerts, and
Flowerbox is a duo of one man and one woman who perform a mellow brand of hip-hop that draws
from the singer-songwriter tradition. Their new album, "Live at Prairie Sun Studios," is the bands first
release. They are a personal favorite of Faber. "Flowerbox is legit," he says. "Those guys are good."
Dysphunctional Species is a multiple vocalist psychedelic hip-hop experience that has been leading
magical dance parties on the West Coast for over a decade. Their new album, the band's second, is
titled "Endless Nights."
"There's so much talent up here and people doing things that they love," says Faber, who trains in Point
Arena. He and War Cry Records are thrilled to help be able to help families with special needs children
through their talents.

Tonight on MinneCulture, an encore presentation of the The Minneapolis Music Scene 1975-1980 Part I, produced by Cyn Collins. The Twin Cities has had a vibrant music scene for decades, but in the early to mid-1970s there was almost no original music being performed. Only a few bands dared to be different, and thanks to their creative diligence, the Minneapolis punk/rock scene was born. This two-part documentary describes the Minneapolis music scene between 1975 - 1980, and features interviews and music by Curtiss A (Thumbs Up/the Spooks), Chris Osgood (the Suicide Commandos), Robert Wilkinson (the Flamin' Oh), Chan Poling (the Suburbs), Kevin Cole (Rev 105), Peter Jesperson (Twin Tone/New West Records) and many more.

The Prospect Park:
Brady Skjei (Minnesota Golden Gophers)
A little of everything around the New York Ranger on Thursday as we get ready for the start of World Under-20 Championships. Guess somebody forgot to tell people that this was the holiday break.
Brady Skjei (NYR 2012 1st) was in the lineup when Team USA took on Team Sweden in a warmup/evaluation/exhibition/every thing else game on Thursday. It is kind of interesting how so many can watch the same game but yet wind up with different views of the game.
Skjei who reportedly is on the bubble to make the USA squad was in the lineup against Sweden. Have to admit that Skjei did not really help his own cause here.
Skjei looked shaky in the first period and while his play improved over the rest of the game; his ice time decreased as the game went on. 19 shifts for a total of 13:41 and that was the fewest minutes played by a US defender.
Skjei will have one more practice and exhibition before the final cuts are made but right now; don't think Skjei makes the team unless he has a big game against Finland on Saturday.
Peter Ceresnak (NYR 2011 6th) on the other hand has made the Slovakian roster and was in the lineup against the Czech Republic on Wednesday. This is the 3rd appearance for the Slovakian Under-20 squad and while I have not confirmed it; it looks like Ceresnak will be wearing a letter on his jersey.
Good for him and while I hope for a change that the Slovaks can make the medal round, the odds are really stacked against them. Slovakia is in the same group as the USA, Canada and the team that they will open play with; the hosts Russia.
When Ceresnak returns to the Peterborough Petes after the tournament he will be playing for a new coach as former Ranger Assistant Coach Mike Pelino was fired on Thursday and replaced by former Ranger (and 5 other NHL teams) player Jody Hull.
In this case the power of the media played a part in Pelino's firing. One day after a very critical article on the Petes was written by Mike Davies was the last straw for the Board of Directors of the Petes.
Actually if it was me then I would have fired Pelino and GM Dave Reid after watching the Petes over the final 15 games last season. Way too many players playing for themselves and not the team.
(stick tap to Neate Sager who also wrote this gem about how the NHL lockout is affecting the juniors)
I got a good laugh reading all those "end of the world" stories but really they don't come close to the "predictions about the end of the world" that happen when Team Canada losses any game.
Nobody freaks out better than a Canadian hockey fan. Besides I just paid a 20 dollar non-refundable deposit to attend college and no way does the world end when I am out 20 bucks.

Scarlett Johansson Deemed Ineligible for Golden Globes for Voice Work in 'Her'
The 29-year-old has received rave reviews -- and the Rome Film Fest's best actress prize -- for her performance as Samantha, an advanced computer operating system with which Joaquin Phoenix's character falls in love.
There is considerable buzz surrounding the performance of Scarlett Johansson -- or at least her voice -- in Spike Jonze's futuristic romance Her, in which Johansson plays Samantha, an advanced computer operating system with which Joaquin Phoenix's Theodore falls in love. But Johansson's prospects for becoming the first actor or actress to ever receive an Oscar nomination for a part in which he or she is never seen have now hit a bit of a bump: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which determines the Golden Globe Awards, has notified Her's distributor, Warner Bros., that the part has been deemed ineligible for consideration for a Globe nom, which often precedes Academy recognition.
PHOTOS: 25 of Fall's Most Anticipated Movies
The decision, which was reportedly first rendered several days ago, was then appealed by Warner Bros., which learned of the HFPA's final ruling on Tuesday.
For better or worse, you can't say the HFPA isn't consistent: They previously disqualified Andy Serkis' CGI-enhanced characterizations in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).
Johansson, who has received rave reviews for her work in Her and was awarded the best actress prize at the Rome Film Festival earlier this month, is theoretically still eligible for Academy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. But prevailing wisdom suggests that the 29-year-old stood her best shot at major awards recognition with the HFPA, the members of which famously adore A-list movie stars in performances of any shape or size, as opposed to the actors who belong to the Academy and/or SAG, who are more likely to question whether a solely vocal performance should be considered alongside more traditional performances. (Neither body has ever nominated such a performance before.)
Regardless, a Warner Bros. rep made it clear to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday that the studio plans to proceed full-steam-ahead with its campaign for Johansson.

College Football: Does Ohio State Have the Nation's Best Receiving Group?
By Grant Freking ,
Determining the nation's best receiving corps is more difficult than one would think. There is no standout group among the nation's teams at the moment. I narrowed the list down to Alabama, Arkansas, Boise State, Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ohio State.
Here's a breakdown of each team's receiving group in alphabetical order followed by an award section of sorts, and then the winner. Let the debate begin...
Alabama boasts perhaps the nation's most physically-gifted receiver in wide receiver Julio Jones, who is likely to a be a top-15 pick in April's NFL draft. Wideout Darius Hanks and tight end Preston Dial are on pace to far surpass their previous season totals.
Wide receiver Marquis Maze had 31 catches for 523 yards last season. Running back Trent Richardson already has ten catches this season and is being used extensively in the screen and short passing game.
Outside of SEC country and perhaps even the state of Arkansas, not much is known about the group of pass-catchers Ryan Mallett throws too. Wide receiver Joe Adams is on track for 57 receptions, 1,167 yards and six touchdowns. 6-foot-3-inch, 217-pound Greg Childs already has 22 catches for 298 yards and three touchdowns. He caught 12 balls in one game a few weeks back against Louisiana-Monroe.
Mallett's security blanket is tight end D.J. Williams. Essentially a human cinder block, Williams has caught at least three balls in every game this season and is on pace to surpass the half-century mark in catches and pass 700 yards receiving.
The Broncos of Boise State stand out because of their top two receivers: Titus Young and Austin Pettis, who are lightning and thunder of sorts.
In 2009, Young, who has reportedly run a 4.40 40-yard dash, had 79 catches for 1,041 yards and ten touchdowns. Right now, the 6-foot-3-inch, 200-pound Pettis is on pace for 52 catches, 892 yards and 16 scores.
Even after losing standout Mardy Gilyard, Cincinnati still possesses one of the nation's best receiving groups. After posting 61 catches, 888 yards and 11 touchdowns last year, Armon Binns is on pace to put up similar numbers this season.
D.J. Woods could push for All-American status, despite making two bone-headed plays last weekend against Oklahoma. If Woods fulfills his projected numbers of 72 receptions, 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns he will gain serious accolades.
Although he's been limited by an ankle injury this season, tight end Ben Guidugli is likely the best receiving tight end in the Big East when healthy. Wideout Marcus Barnett, who had 62 catches for 862 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2007, is back in the starting lineup after the injury the Vidal Hazelton, who transferred in from USC and had 50 catches for the Trojans in 2007.
Notre Dame might have the top potential pro wide receiver in Michael Floyd and top potential pro tight end in Kyle Rudolph.
After having his 2009 season cut short due to a broken collarbone, Floyd has started fast out of the gates in 2010, recording 24 catches for 339 yards and two touchdowns. Rudolph is on pace to double each of his 2009 totals of 33 receptions for 364 yards and three scores.
A pleasant surprise for the Irish has been wide receiver Theo Riddick. Riddick is on track for 63 catches, 753 yards and six touchdowns after totaling six receptions for 43 yards and no scores last season.
Ohio State's receiving group hasn't really had a chance to shine in recent years because of the conservative nature of the offense. So far in 2010, the Buckeyes have undergone an offensive revolution. Terrelle Pryor is averaging nearly 27 passing attempts a game in addition to already throwing for 939 yards, almost half of his 2009 total.
Wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher is on pace to catch 60 balls and gain 948 yards along with 15 touchdown catches. DeVier Posey had over 800 yards receiving last year and eight touchdown receptions last year, and even threw a touchdown pass.
After last year's tight end, Jake Ballard, caught 14 balls the whole season, Jake Stoneburner is on pace to nearly double that total if he can stay healthy. Furthermore, running back Brandon Saine had 17 receptions last season. He's on pace to catch 24 passes this season, a sign OSU is trying to make the most of "Zoom" pass-catching skills.
Big-play ability: Tie between Boise State and Notre Dame. Pettis & Young along with Floyd & Rudolph are not only the clear focal points of their team's offenses, but make the most plays and can kill you after the catch.
Best numbers by season's end: Arkansas in a landslide. Mallett's on pace to throw for over 4,300 yards. Broderick Green, the Razorback running back, only as 134 yards on the season. The Arkansas receiving group will put up big time numbers.
Deepest Group: Despite Hazelton's injury, UC still has the most depth. They have three legitimate receivers along with the top conference's top tight end. In addition, Butch Jones is trying to get the team's running backs involved as well.
Versatility: Ohio State is the easy choice here. Posey is the No. 1 with great breakaway speed and big-play ability. Sanzenbacher is the sure-haned slot man who's a great third down target. Stoneburner eats up the middle of the field. Saine and Jordan Hall are deadly out of the backfield.
Ohio State.
Less than creative, yes. I tried to be objective as possible. But of the teams considered, I've pretty much seen every game played by every team.
However, there's no right answer here. Thoughts?

Terrific Email Marketing Ideas To Jumpstart Your Business
Posted on | December 26, 2013 | No Comments
When did you last take a look at your email? Many people check their email twice a day, while others check even more. For business owners, email is an effective way to stay in touch with and communicate with your customers. Read this article for some helpful tips on email marketing.
You want your email to be as personal as you possibly can. Just like any other marketing, those who get them will buy more from you if they feel like they know you. As an example, if you happen to know the reason they signed up for your emails, then be sure to include something about that in your email.
Target your chosen audience. Encourage your subscribers to invite their friends to join your list too. You should imbed a subscribe link within your email. If your customers are forwarding your emails to friends, these friends may be intrigued by your offerings as well. This is a great method to use to organically grow your base.

Split your mailing list into two groups and send each group the email but with the different subject line. This is a great way to measure the effectiveness of each subject line, helping you to understand how to send out emails that get read.
Be consistent. Keep your company's logo and the colors and style you use the same in every email. The font used in your emails must be easy to read. Eventually, people will begin to recognize your emails, and they'll pay closer attention to them. In email marketing, familiarity is a key aspect.
Increase the value of your email content by including helpful information. Give your subscribers special articles, things they may not find on your website. Including offers that only readers can get are also much appreciated. Also send emails to offer bonuses and best wishes for the holidays. Sending emails only when you want to promote a product is short-sighted.
Limit your email communications to once a week. Most likely, your customers receive a bunch of messages a day. By bombarding them with multiple emails, they may quickly begin to disregard your messages without even reading them.
Using email is one of the most basic ways to communicate with business customers. Take advantage of what you've learned in this article.

You Can Make Money With Article Marketing
Posted on | September 24, 2013 | No Comments
Businesses large and small online today are finding article marketing to be highly beneficial. Even businesses that don't depend solely on the Internet find article marketing very helpful. Even if you have never written an article before, the following advice will guide you in your efforts to launch your own successful article marketing campaign.
If your site allows for users to post comments on your webpage, you should use the "no follow" link attribute. Spam links are all too common, so you can do your part to point them out to web crawlers. This will work to keep spammy sites from tagging onto you and possibly damaging your SEO potential, as well as your reputation as an honest and valuable site.
Send articles into blog networks and article directories. Use blogs to help grow visitor traffic to your website quickly. Always add contact information to your article submissions so that people travel to your site as well.
Do not copy anyone else. Being unique is the best way to maintain your business's marketing position. The filters search engines use to detect duplicate content are continually getting smarter, so publishing only unique content will keep you on their good side.
There are no hidden secrets when dealing with article marketing, if someone tells you that, it is a lie. Research businesses as a means to inform yourself about article marketing. Article marketing is just simple marketing handled through content distribution.
Many article sites offer residual income based on the number of times your article is read. Article writing can actually be very profitable. When done correctly, it can be extremely profitable.
Unless websites are outright deleting your articles, they will remain on the web indefinitely, and can always be used to bring traffic to your specific destination. You can also use articles in promoting other articles you've written and expand your readership and network.
The articles should short and to the point. Use less than 500 words and catch your readers' interest at the introduction. You want to keep the reader's attention, they have short attention spans. Going into depth later in the article is the best way to go about writing an article. The intro will draw them in, and then detail and essential information will want them to finish reading.
You will quickly see the advantages of article marketing. You have to increase your own visibility, and you have to have a clear message when you publish a brand new article. Be patient and remember that the quality of your articles is the key to your success.

Marketing To Your Customers Through Email: A Guide
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
Have you ever thought about getting into email marketing but are having a hard time finding out where to begin? If you want to design a marketing strategy that will be successful for you, read on. This article can show you some innovative tips, tricks, and techniques that will allow you to take full advantage of email marketing.
Ensure that your marketing emails are as brief as possible. Try to keep your language direct and to the point. This will show the readers that you respect and value their time. This can also ensure that your readers will read your entire message. It is important to remember that even the finish of your email has critical content.
Emails are quick and personal ways to interact with customers. When you communicate by email, make sure your email is easy to read by being brief, and staying on topic. People likely won't read a large 500 or 1000 word essay about packaging or some other aspect of your business. Include links to the appropriate material within your email, so anyone who is interested can access the information.
Always proofread emails that you send. The content of your emails, from subject to footer, must be typo-free and properly written. Prior to message distribution, test email layouts so you know for sure that all the text and elements show up in your preferred way. Click on every link in the email to make sure each functions as expected.
You should develop a refined and targeted email list for generating sales. The best way for you to do this is to build the list around your most reliable customers and their close contacts. You can even stress the exclusivity of such a list by saying it is designed for those truly devoted to your topic. This way you can cultivate a voice of authority and develop a really focused list at the same time.
Give your customers a reason to answer the call to action in your email message. They will have more interest in doing business with you when they see an advantage to it. For example, you could provide customers who click through to your site with a code to receive free shipping on certain orders.
A little hard work and some education will lead you to create a successful email marketing strategy. Email marketing can be a very simple method of getting the word out about your business to a big audience. Therefore, put in the work right now in order to have the rewards in the future. The only thing there is to do now is to start!
Mobile Marketing And How It Can Help Your Business
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
How familiar are you with mobile marketing? Do you have a marketing plan? Perhaps your existing plans could be improved. Is what you are doing helping or hindering your business? Are you positive your plan is being applied properly? If you cannot provide a satisfactory answer to any of these questions, keep reading.
Keep in mind that there can be different levels of mobile customers because of various outside influences; also note that once the entire market changes then customer base changes as well. Technology can be a main factor in customer choice. Keep up with changes to stay competitive.
Be sure that the code you use is short and dedicated. The price tag is higher, but this will help to protect your brand. This can provide you with legal coverage as well.
The call to action you develop for your mobile marketing campaign should be user friendly and simple. Keep in mind that typing information into a form is much easier on a PC than it is on the miniature keypad of a mobile phone. Make it simple for people to sign up for your mailing list.
Making a custom app for your business can be a good idea. Looking for various specials and promotions will give your customers reason to check out your app on a daily basis. It will also help make your brand more recognizable and increase traffic. Ask a professional for help throughout the development process as app prices are variable.
Stake your claim by creating an online presence on the leading social networking sites. This will help people finding your business. You should begin with simple steps when using social media for your business, and take bigger steps once you are more established. It's essential to establish a presence on Facebook and Foursquare, at the very least.
Many cell phone users have texting capabilities, but not everyone knows what the common texting abbreviations stand for. A customer who may have purchased from you will not do so, if they cannot understand your advertising.
A great tip to do in having an effective campaign in mobile marketing is to have a usability test before going live. If you send texts that do not make sense or work, you will not succeed. Let coworkers take a look at it first to see what they think before you actually send it to customers.
Are you more informed when it comes to mobile marketing? Do you have a new plan or a better plan now? Can you now use things that work with your business? Do you know how to properly apply your plan? With any luck, the tips above should have created better answers.
Achieve Online Authority Status With These Article Marketing Strategies
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
You may believe that article marketing can't possibly be as promising as people say, but you are mistaken. Article marketing is a supplemental method for marketing your business that relies less on silly gimmicks than traditional marketing methods. The key is to gain an understanding of the techniques capable of kicking your efforts into overdrive, and the tips in this piece represent a great start.
Never include the phrase "in conclusion" in article's conclusion. This might signal your readers that it is time to move on. Conclude your article with an effective summary; only leave out that specific phrase. Let your readers continue to read, and eventually, their eyes will dart over to the author resource box which may lead to another story visit.
Blogger is a great way to get your company noticed. Blogging is typically free, and a great way to engage customers. Creating a blog is a very easy process and it can result in views for your site.
Put a lot of emotion into your writing, this will make you easy to relate to. Boring technical writing will not make readers want to continue to read your articles.

A Short, Smart Guide To Email Marketing
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
Ever since people started using the Internet, there have been email marketing campaigns. Although people rely heavily on filters to block incoming spam, proper email marketing can help both businesses and their customers. The ideas that follow can teach you how to help other people, while increasing the profits of your business.
Think hard about whether you want to include images in your email marketing layout. Images take longer to load than a basic text message. People with a slower internet speed will not be able to load your emails quickly if you used too many images. Your focus should be on creating quality ad copy, not images. The smaller and simpler you keep your emails, the wider your potential audience.
Your messages should remain as brief and on the point as possible. If it is longer than two paragraphs, the excess will likely go unread. Your readers don't have the time or the attention span for overly long messages. If you make your point quickly and clearly, your readers will be willing to look at the next mailing you send out.
One thing that will make a business's email marketing program more effective is maintaining branding consistency across all messages. No matter if you are working with names, subjects or email designs, ensure it is stable and it is recognizable. If you send out emails with a different designs every time, remembering your brand will be hard.
Incorporate multi-part messages into your email marketing campaign so that none of your subscribers fall through the cracks. Emails that provide plain text content, as well as HTML, ensure that the recipient can display the material. Sending out these emails is worth it because plain-text subscribers won't remain subscribed to HTML-only listings for a long period of time.
Make sure that your email uses an attention-grabbing subject line. When a discount or coupon is offered in the subject, the likelihood of it being open increases significantly. You could offer free products, a discount or a limited offer to get the attention of your audience. A striking subject line makes it much more likely that someone will open your message.
As the article above has demonstrated, when you do email marketing correctly, the recipient doesn't realize you are actually marketing. They will anticipate receiving your messages if you offer something that is worthwhile. This will do much more than help you build your brand, it will help you build your company. The end result is that you attract clients who are happy to spend money on your company. Use these tips to increase your email marketing campaign's rate of success.
Tips To Learn How To Be Effective At Article Marketing
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
Article marketing has proven to be a highly beneficial and effective form of marketing online that can be done with great efficiency. You should consider using article marketing to reach out to your audience and present your products or services. Are you confused as to how to begin? Read on for tips to help you market your own business this way.
Prior to submitting your articles to directories, be sure that you edit them! Your article will be rejected automatically if there are spelling, typographical or grammatical errors in it. You could use software to check for errors, or have a family member or friend look over the spelling and grammar. )
Publish your online articles in an eBook to promote them. The eBook can be given away for free, in return for the reader's email address, giving you an opt-in list you can send your marketing to.
Always check to ensure your articles are formatted correctly. Be sure that these article follow guidelines set by directories. The guidelines dictate where to place links in your article and the number of times you are allowed to use keywords.

When writing, it is important to be aware of the work put out by other authors in your genre. Perhaps some things have been overdone. Look for areas that have not been covered extensively yet. Build from their ideas.
A clear topic must be thought of prior to beginning to write. If you have just a general idea of what you want to say, you will probably not do your article justice and your readers will not be impressed. Do not expect your readers to remain interested in articles that are not filled with useful information or not well-structured.
Article marketing can work for any business, as it is a versatile method that can be tailored to any type of business and any type of industry. If you are new to article marketing, use the above listed tips to help you begin.
Raise Your Mobile Marketing Skills With These Tips!
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
Mobile marketing is one of the newest types of marketing, yet it actually incorporates elements of some of the oldest and well proven methods. Many of the same rules that apply to other kinds of marketing will apply to mobile marketing too. However, there are some noteworthy differences. This article presents some solid advice on getting the best from this brilliant advertising medium.
Investing money is probably the best way to optimize your site for mobile usage in this type of marketing. It can be a challenge to create an effective mobile marketing site. Don't be afraid to hire experts to do this for you.
You should put your mobile marketing business in with similar media available to you on the web. Your content should be relevant to your page and you should put anything interesting in there that will get people coming back. If people can do more than just passively read your content, they are more likely to buy.
If you want to your mobile marketing campaign to perform like a champ, only send them top-notch offers. If your customers receive too many texts that are not of value to them, then they will feel like they are being spammed and are unlikely to unsubscribe from the service.
When delving in mobile marketing, you need to understand the basics of mobile devices in order to have your site and ads set up correctly. Head out to a cell phone store. Play around on as many smartphones as you can. Familiarizing yourself with devices that your customers use helps you understand how mobile users will view your site.
The key to mobile marketing is to keep your message short and to the point. Attention spans are short, so use a short message which includes your company's name.
Mobile marketing campaigns should have a link that is to sites that are capable of being viewed by phones of all ages. This is not true however if you have any flash on your standard site. If this is the case, then all phones must be directed to your mobile site.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to mobile marketing, but if you do not use it the right way, it can cause irritation to most people. If you're just starting to utilize mobile marketing, be very methodical in the way that you use the information you have learned from this article. If you follow the advice given here, you will most likely find that you have new customers and more profits coming in.
Straightforward Tips For Successful Marketing On The Internet
Posted on | March 22, 2013 | No Comments
Internet marketing is a very useful business tool. There are a multitude of ways to promote your business and appeal to new clients. Many of these methods are extremely inexpensive and effective. Here are tips to help you dive into Internet marketing and develop a business that is lucrative.
Try being as content-oriented and as comprehensive as possible when making your website. There's no better way to keep readers coming back than by providing with quality content to want to come back to. To keep your audience's attention, make sure you do not repeat any statements and keep out useless and filler content.
Make answering your visitors' questions a high priority. Most visitors come to websites to find information. If you are unwilling to provide answers, you may be losing potential customers. Providing them with the information that they are seeking will encourage them to give your their business.
Posting press releases are great ways to boost traffic for your Internet marketing. Focus on writing informative, relevant and interesting press releases, then distribute them to trusted outlets. Needless to say, a great press release can create a buzz around your business.
Always be cognizant of your competition as an Internet marketer. Make the effort to look at the websites and social networking accounts belonging to your competition. You can also see how much traffic they are getting.
"Limited" should be written into the content of your ad. People shopping online want something different than what is sold at local stores. Your customers are looking for something meaningful and different from the regular old products that are easy to find and commonly bought. By selling merchandise in limited editions, you will create a higher demand for the product based upon a sense of urgency.
Give specific product information, but don't forget to appeal to the emotions of your customer. This will bring them back as return customers. Such advertising will help you to develop brand recognition. Use language that consumers will view as favorable.
Email is an important part of any Internet marketing strategy. Take steps to protect your email correspondence. Don't use free email services that lack functions that you need, such as the ability to store mail indefinitely. Think about archiving your own emails, especially if you regularly have sensitive communications with consultants and customers.
As has been revealed earlier, internet marketing is an amazing way to reach out to customers and to bring attention to your business and products. The opportunities are endless and the benefits are immense. By utilizing the information in the article, you can build your customer base and bring new recognition to your company.

Mr JENKINS (9:59 AM)
—I am pleased to be able to contribute to the debate on the Ozone Protection Amendment Bill 1998 [1999] . This bill amends a piece of legislation that was first implemented by previous Labor governments. It is in the context of Australia's international responsibilities in a matter of major global environmental concern, which, regrettably, continues to be of concern.
It is not an understatement to say that the depletion of the ozone layer is not only a continuing problem but a major continuing problem. Despite 10 years having passed since the Montreal protocol was signed, further action by all nations remains to be taken for many years to come before the damage can be considered to have begun to repair itself.
It is probably appropriate in the context of this legislation to speak briefly about the phenomenon of ozone depletion which leads to what is known as the ozone hole—even though it is not strictly a hole in the ozone layer but levels of reduced concentration of ozone in the stratosphere. The science that surrounds the ozone depletion, unlike the greenhouse effect, is fairly universally accepted. The breakdown of ozone into its constituent oxygen components is a naturally occurring phenomenon. As the shadow minister, the honourable member for Wills, has said in leading in this debate, naturally occurring substances such as the sulfates and chlorine given off during volcanic eruptions lead to ozone depletion.
Before mankind affected the ozone layers by the release of other gases, however, there was an equilibrium. The ozone would break down into its constituent oxygen components and, through chemical reaction, would re-form. Simply put, as ozone depleting gases percolate up to the stratosphere, those gases break down into free radicals of chlorine, bromide and so on, which act as catalysts in the breakdown of the ozone. They do not involve themselves in the actual chemical reaction but their presence causes the ozone breakdown to occur at a greater rate, interfering with the natural process by which oxygen forms into ozone and thus leading to the reduced concentration of ozone in the stratosphere.
Gases released today can take several years to percolate into the stratosphere and produce this effect. Therefore, we have to be very conscious that the measures that we are taking now will take a long time to be of benefit. Further, these gases stay around for quite a while. Immediate action is very important for the necessary long-range improvement.
Despite all the action that we have seen since the various international agreements, ozone levels have been detected at record low levels. Compliance with the current international agreements is reducing the yearly emissions of the gases, but it needs to be continued and to be sped up.
Monitoring of ozone levels to ascertain the extent of the problem facing the world has demonstrated that average worldwide losses since the mid-1960s is about five per cent. The phenomenon has seasonal factors, also, and the cumulative loss in winter and spring over Europe, North America and Australia is about 10 per cent. Since the late 1970s, the so-called ozone hole has formed over Antarctica each September and October, 60 per cent of the total ozone being depleted. Scientists agree that, in the absence of changes to clouds or pollution, a decrease in atmospheric ozone will increase ground level UV radiation.
Australia has had a reputation as a leader in promoting the reduction of ozone depleting emissions and has a proud record of working towards the complete phasing out of such emissions. Australia's licensing system implemented in 1989 has meant that, by 1995, CFCs, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and HBFCs were all phased out.
The total phase-out of halons was achieved in Australia in 1992, one year ahead of our requirements under the Montreal protocol. The licensing system is now recognised as an effective way of tackling ozone depletion. Subsequent meetings under the Montreal protocol have recognised this.
Sadly, there is a growing feeling among environment groups and, indeed, among major players in the international community that Australia has fallen behind in the last three years on a variety of environmental matters. In recent years we have seen the controversy over mining at Kakadu National Park and its subsequent approval and the negotiation of an increase in greenhouse emissions at Kyoto, which have led to that disquiet. This might apply just as well to the way in which people perceive our efforts on issues of ozone depletion.
Both Australia and the United States have decided to eliminate methyl bromide by 2005. The United States had originally committed to do that by 2001. Fortunately, the European nations remain committed to that date. What has subsequently happened is that the United States has changed the date to the year 2005, and Australia has decided to fall into step with the United States rather than with the European Community. That is cause for some concern and disquiet.
Since the virtual disappearance of chlorofluorocarbons from use, the gas halon-1211 is considered to be the most dangerous ozone depleter. Atmospheric tests conducted by CSIRO scientists have discovered that halon-1211 emission rates are increasing by about 200 tonnes a year. This contradicts the earlier assumption that halon-1211 emissions reached their peak in 1988. Some people would be aware that halon-1211 is from the old yellow fire extinguishers that developed nations phased out in 1994. So that not only demonstrates that these effects have a long lag but is an example of a phenomenon where the developed nations have been able to achieve certain targets and, for a variety of reasons, developing nations have not.
It is believed that many of these fire extinguishers that contain halon are still in use in these developing nations, and continue to be released, and therefore have led to these unexpectedly high levels of halon emission. In fact, over the previous decade there has been a 25 per cent increase in concentration of halon-1211 in the ozone layer. Also, experts have extrapolated that this level of halon emission could be responsible for about 20 per cent of the ozone layer's destruction.
The other interesting thing about the phenomenon is that there has been various scientific modelling because, whilst the science of the direct phenomenon is acknowledged, the actual way it will go into the future is subject to further study and modelling. The most accepted original modelling foresaw an improvement in the state of the ozone layer by about the year 2030. It is now believed that, because of these increases in the level of halon-1211, it could take even 10 years longer for this improvement to begin. This goes back to the point that I was trying to make originally, that the lag times that we see with this phenomenon are quite great and underscore the need for us to do as much as possible, as soon as possible.
Other variations from the original Montreal protocol will lead to further problems. Some of these relate, as I have said, to the scientific assumptions underpinning the protocol. For example, it was assumed that CFC production in 1997 would equal roughly double the total production of developing countries in 1992 and that all production would cease in the year 2006.
That projection in turn leads to the conclusion that ozone depletion would peak in the late 1990s and return to benign levels by 2045. However, Ozone Action, an American group which examines issues around ozone depletion, estimates that CFC production currently exceeds the assumed level by some 200 per cent. The protocol's revised timetable for total CFC production is now 2010 thereby blowing out the conclusion about when benign levels return.
The reasons why these target dates have not been able to be met include the fact that refrigerator and airconditioning manufacturers are still selling CFC dependent systems in developing countries. There is much written in the media about that—not generally the popular media but those that are concerned with social issues. For instance, the New Internationalist of March 1999 under the headline `Chilly reception' has a subheadline `Mixed feelings about Europe's roaming fridges'. It indicates that many African countries, whilst they have agreed to reduce the use of CFC emitting refrigerators, have become dumping grounds for phased-out fridges from European countries. These are the sorts of practices that have to be stopped because the release of these gases is fairly indiscriminate in its effect. It does not matter who is actually using them; it must be stopped. I think that it highlights a responsibility that developed nations have to ensure that we are giving developing countries assistance and that, whether it is with ozone depleting gases or greenhouse gases, we are giving them alternatives that will enable them to continue their development both socially and economically.
Another problem is that hydrochlorofluorocarbons are the next challenge to the parties to the Montreal protocol that will have to be dealt with. Already the European Community has said it was deeply disappointed that there was no result on HCFCs at the 10th meeting of the protocol back in 1997. The European Community's proposal to bring forward the phase out date for HCFCs from 2030 to 2015 was defeated by a coalition of countries led by United States. The phase-out date of 2030 for developed countries and 2040 for developing countries remains despite the fact that there are numerous non-ozone depleting substitutes for hydrochlorofluorocarbons available already.
Again, according to Ozone Watch, scientists are planning to recalculate their projections for ozone depletion at some stage this year based on the changed protocol dates. Unfortunately, this will almost certainly show that, rather than being in the peak ozone depletion period at the moment, the world still has to endure depletion levels far worse than ever projected or imagined before things are going to get better. We really have to remind ourselves that the reduction in the concentration of ozone levels and the increased levels of UV are having quite dramatic effects not only on the health of humans through increased levels of various cancers but also on a number of other fauna species by the destruction of habitat and ecosystems. I think that there are plenty of examples of these problems in the way in which the ozone depletion phenomenon occurs and there is fairly great agreement on the effect of these increased levels of UV on different species.
This is an important piece of legislation. Whilst the changes are minor and the opposition's disquiet on some aspects has been placed on record, I think that it continues the work that has operated since 1989, when the first Ozone Protection Act was enacted. These are important pieces of legislation. They are examples of the emotive nature of other environmental problems, whether they be forestry issues or issues of mining in or next to world heritage areas.
These are issues that should be non-controversial. These are issues that require not only a concerted effort by government but also the awareness of the general public. They require the cooperation of the community. They require the continued efforts of researchers to find alternatives to the substances that lead to this phenomenon. They need the assistance to develop those alternatives and to ensure that they are available to the widest range of nations. If there is only one area of policy where, in a global sense, we should see complete and total cooperation, it is on matters of environment.
Sometimes it is a little frustrating that, as a member of the federal Commonwealth parliament, because of the nature of our federation, even in the Australian context we have to go through cajoling, sitting down, jawboning and bribing the states to get their cooperation on a whole range of matters. When those matters involve the environment—and it does not matter whether something occurs one side of a border or not, the environmental consequences can be quite global—we really need to get this type of cooperation, whether it be in the Australian context through the Commonwealth setting in place national policies that the states just put their hands up and accept a bit more readily than they do or whether it is in the international context where we look at what has been achieved by the various protocols that surround this phenomenon, so we can have that concerted effort and this present generation can leave the total environment in a better state for future generations than it has been left for us.
With those minor concerns about the timing, the opposition is a little concerned that we are not—in the popular jargon—pushing the envelope far enough or upping the ante. Perhaps we can get that cooperation, get on track and continue to be in the vanguard of world action on this most important phenomenon.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882 / London / England)
Rossetti was born, the son of an Italian patriot and political refugee and an English mother, in England. He was raised in an environment of cultural and political activity that, it has been suggested, was of more import to his learning than his formal education. This latter was constituted by a general education at King's College from 1836 to 1841 and, following drawing lessons at a school in central London at the age of fourteen, some time as a student at the Royal Academy from 1845 onwards. Here he studied painting with William Hollman Hunt and John Everett Millais who, in 1848, would set up the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Rossetti, Rossetti's younger brother and three other ... more »

As austerity bites hard, a once pliant Spain revolts
Spaniards initially accepted aggressive austerity as necessary, but tens of thousands are now turning out in the streets to protest measures they say have gone too far.
After four days of daily protests, some violently dispersed, Spain is bracing for a cycle of social unrest against the harshest austerity measures in decades. At stake is not only Spain's economic recovery, but that of the European Union.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, of the conservative Popular Party, pled yesterday for calm and sacrifice after hundreds of thousands marched against his labor reform on Feb. 19. He insisted he has no intention of backtracking on steep budget cuts that have only begun to be introduced. Even on the campaign trail, Rajoy warned of pain to come – and his party was still elected.
But while Spanish and European authorities say budget cuts are necessary, experts warn the Spanish measures could be too much, too fast. A population already on edge could be galvanized to action. Social instability in a country the size of Spain, especially in rejection of European Union-imposed policies, could spread to other countries in the eurozone facing angry publics.

"The government's legitimacy could soon be questioned on the street," says Jaime Pastor, professor of political science and an expert on mass mobilizations at UNED, a university. "The ghost of Spain turning into the next Greece is still there. If the trend is for Spain to follow that model, the European crisis is going to get worse."
Labor says 'enough'
Spain, with a population of 43 million, has an unemployment rate of 23 percent, by far Europe's highest – and it's only expected to increase. Half of youth are jobless. The Central Bank expects a recession of 1.5 percent for 2012.
Desperation is palpable and has become routine in Spanish cities. The 150,000 evictions of families so far in the crisis will more than double in 2012, according to banking consumers' association ADICAE, and there are more 1.5 million families without any wage earners, a number that will surge this year.
The changes in labor regulations and other government measures will initially be painful, but are meant to spur job creation and economic growth. By making layoffs cheaper and quicker and expediting salary cuts, they government says they will increase the competitiveness of the Spanish economy and foster job creation.
"The labor reform will generate significant conflict," says Eduardo Rojo, a labor law professor in the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. "Good labor relations are good for public cohesion, and this reform tilts the balance between bosses and employees. I understand why the labor movement would be angry."

Illinois Teacher Pensions

Wed May 16, 2012
Madigan teacher pension proposal targets local Ill. money
Illinois cities and schools would lose hundreds of millions of dollars under a pension proposal from House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Madigan wants to consider dipping into a tax stream that provides about $1.4 billion for local government. He would use that money to pay state costs for providing pensions for teachers.
A spokesman says the powerful Chicago Democrat is trying to jumpstart discussions about reducing Illinois pension expenses.
But Joe McCoy of the Illinois Municipal League says Madigan may be trying to stir up so much opposition that people will embrace a different idea -- making local schools responsible for paying teacher pensions.
McCoy says mayors take Madigan's proposal seriously and oppose it. He says it would devastate city budgets.

Two overdrives in one? Does such a thing exist? I use two overdrives, actually an overdrive and a distortion. The overdrive is my main dirt tone, but sometimes I'll kick the distortion pedal on which runs into the overdrive pedal and gives a heavier, scooped sound. I rarely use it, but I like it and that distortion pedal is taking up valuable space on my board. Is there a pedal that has two dirts, or like a cascading overdrive where you could go 'full' or 'half' overdrive, if you catch my drift? |
GFS has the Twin Clean, Twin Overdrive and Twin Hi-Gain. http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-Guit...ls-_c_207.html |
There are a few. I love my Fulltone BassDrive which has a boost which does a similar effect of increasing overdrive levels when activated. I believe that the Hematoma has a similar feature set. The Empress Multidrive has three different gain stages that it can use. Wounded Paw has the Battering Ram which is an OD and a fuzz. Wren and Cuff did at least one custom job of combining a Phat Phuk with a Pickle Pie B. Plus lots of others that I've overlooked that helpful people below will list... |
I guess I should have mentioned...if the pedal is larger than two normal pedals, it defeats the whole purpose :) |
Not completely. It is one less patch cable and power connection. |
Or how about three? http://www.guitarcenter.com/In-Store...68-i2083203.gc |
xoB ytsuR | Rusty Box |
There's one called The Chimera made locally by Richard Flickinger in Raleigh, NC. It's got a clean boost ("clean") and an overdrive ("mean") on the same pedal, triggered in sequence. Not sure how it would fare on bass...I haven't had the chance to try one out. http://www.flicktonebox.com/chimera.html |
+1 on the Fulltone bass drive. My favorite version is the one with the push pull knob (pre-mosfet). The HBE Hematoma is really terrific and can be purchased for a bargain. The T-Rex Bass Juice is very nice as well. This is the only pedal of the 3 to have a blend if this feature appeals to you. I own these 3 pedals. |
fuzzrocious demon king, fuzzrocious rat king, pigtronix disnortion... |
Barber Electronics Burn Unit http://www.barberelectronics.com/burnunit.html I got to try out some of their pedals a couple of weeks ago for a minute or two. I was pleasantly surprised with the tones that I was getting from this one. It covered the low to medium gain drive I get with my Distortron and went into some similar fuzz territory that I get with my Sublime. It definitely seemed to cover two territories for the price of one. |
OKKO Basstard. Expensive but the demos have me gasing for one. |
Home Brew Electronics Hematoma for Bass.........it has a boost feature seperate from an overdrive that will add just a touch of hair to your tone to a huge amount of gain! |
Visual Sound pedals makes a few "two-in-one" type pedals, including and overdrive and distortion, an overdrive and compressor, and a double pedal with 2 tubescreamer-type overdrives. They're supposed to be very well made pedals. http://visualsound.net/double-trouble/ |
+1 for the TRex Bass Juice. It's bass distortion, with a clean boost. When the boost is engaged, it gets into fuzz territory. The clean blend knob is more than useful, too. Awesome tone on this one. |
I've got the Fulltone Bass-Drive mosfet & I dig it a lot, I use the boost as a 2nd drive... but, it's not really 2 overdrives in one. I'd get in touch with Visual Sound as they are top notch in customer service, ask them about low-end retention -- I'm sure they'd be happy to help you find the right pedal. |
The Swell lines of Bass OD/Distortion have two gain settings, not quite the same as cascading ODs or boost/OD, but still 2 good sounds available in one pedal |

Microtubule Nucleation at Non-Spindle Pole Body Microtubule-Organizing Centers Requires Fission Yeast Centrosomin-Related Protein mod20p
Current Biology, Volume 14, Issue 9, 4 May 2004, Pages 763-775
Kenneth E Sawin, Paula C.C Lourenco and Hilary A Snaith
SummaryBackground: Many types of differentiated eukaryotic cells display microtubule distributions consistent with nucleation from noncentrosomal intracellular microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs), although such structures remain poorly characterized. In fission yeast, two types of MTOCs exist in addition to the spindle pole body, the yeast centrosome equivalent. These are the equatorial MTOC, which nucleates microtubules from the cell division site at the end of mitosis, and interphase MTOCs, which nucleate microtubules from multiple sites near the cell nucleus during interphase.Results: From an insertional mutagenesis screen we identified a novel gene, mod20+, which is required for microtubule nucleation from non-spindle pole body MTOCs in fission yeast. Mod20p is not required for intranuclear mitotic spindle assembly, although it is required for cytoplasmic astral microtubule growth during mitosis. Mod20p localizes to MTOCs throughout the cell cycle and is also dynamically distributed along microtubules themselves. We find that mod20p is required for the localization of components of the γ-tubulin complex to non-spindle pole body MTOCs and physically interacts with the γ-tubulin complex in vivo. Database searches reveal a family of eukaryotic proteins distantly related to mod20p; these are found in organisms ranging from fungi to mammals and include Drosophila centrosomin.Conclusions: Mod20p appears to act by recruiting components of the γ-tubulin complex to non-spindle pole body MTOCs. The identification of mod20p-related proteins in higher eukaryotes suggests that this may represent a general mechanism for the organization of noncentrosomal MTOCs in eukaryotic cells.

XRHAMM Functions in Ran-Dependent Microtubule Nucleation and Pole Formation during Anastral Spindle Assembly
Current Biology, Volume 14, Issue 20, 26 October 2004, Pages 1801-1811
Aaron C. Groen, Lisa A. Cameron, Margaret Coughlin, David T. Miyamoto, Timothy J. Mitchison and Ryoma Ohi
SummaryBackground: The regulated assembly of microtubules is essential for bipolar spindle formation. Depending on cell type, microtubules nucleate through two different pathways: centrosome-driven or chromatin-driven. The chromatin-driven pathway dominates in cells lacking centrosomes.Results: Human RHAMM (receptor for hyaluronic-acid-mediated motility) was originally implicated in hyaluronic-acid-induced motility but has since been shown to associate with centrosomes and play a role in astral spindle pole integrity in mitotic systems. We have identified the Xenopus ortholog of human RHAMM as a microtubule-associated protein that plays a role in focusing spindle poles and is essential for efficient microtubule nucleation during spindle assembly without centrosomes. XRHAMM associates both with γ-TuRC, a complex required for microtubule nucleation and with TPX2, a protein required for microtubule nucleation and spindle pole organization.Conclusions: XRHAMM facilitates Ran-dependent, chromatin-driven nucleation in a process that may require coordinate activation of TPX2 and γ-TuRC.

Golgi Outposts Shape Dendrite Morphology by Functioning as Sites of Acentrosomal Microtubule Nucleation in Neurons
Neuron, Volume 76, Issue 5, 6 December 2012, Pages 921-930
Kassandra M. Ori-McKenney, Lily Yeh Jan and Yuh-Nung Jan
SummaryMicrotubule nucleation is essential for proper establishment and maintenance of axons and dendrites. Centrosomes, the primary site of nucleation in most cells, lose their function as microtubule organizing centers during neuronal development. How neurons generate acentrosomal microtubules remains unclear. Drosophila dendritic arborization (da) neurons lack centrosomes and therefore provide a model system to study acentrosomal microtubule nucleation. Here, we investigate the origin of microtubules within the elaborate dendritic arbor of class IV da neurons. Using a combination of in vivo and in vitro techniques, we find that Golgi outposts can directly nucleate microtubules throughout the arbor. This acentrosomal nucleation requires gamma-tubulin and CP309, the Drosophila homolog of AKAP450, and contributes to the complex microtubule organization within the arbor and dendrite branch growth and stability. Together, these results identify a direct mechanism for acentrosomal microtubule nucleation within neurons and reveal a function for Golgi outposts in this process.

γ-Tubulin complexes: size does matter
Dept of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5020, USA
γ-Tubulin is a conserved component of all microtubule-organizing centres and is required for these organelles to nucleate microtubule polymerization. However, the mechanism of nucleation is not known. In addition to its localization to organizing centres, a large pool of γ-tubulin exists in the cytoplasm in a complex with other proteins. The size of the γ-tubulin complex and number of associated proteins vary among organisms, and the functional significance of these differences is unknown. Recently, the nature of these γ-tubulin complexes has been explored in different organisms, and this has led us closer to a molecular understanding of microtubule nucleation.

Bonnie Tyler
Bonnie Tyler
Before her well-known collaborations with Meat Loaf producer Jim Steinman, Welsh-born singer Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) performed off and on in her homeland with the R&B band Mumbles; nodules on her vocal cords prevented her from singing full-time until 1976, when she underwent an operation to have them removed. The surgery left her with a raspy, husky voice that proved an effective instrument and drew notice from writer/producers Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who became her managers. Tyler scored a number three hit with their "It's a Heartache" in 1978, but became dissatisfied as the two attempted to steer her into country music. When her contract ran out, she signed with CBS and sought Steinman out, hoping for material with his trademark epic sound. She got it with the ballad "Total Eclipse of the Heart," which was recorded with E Street Band members Max Weinberg on drums and Roy Bittan on keyboards, plus guitarist Rick Derringer and backing vocalist Rory Dodd. The song spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard charts and helped the LP Faster Than the Speed of Night sell over a million copies and debut at number one in the U.K., where the title track also became a hit.
