"Despite our growing awareness of maternal health complications in the developing world, we still have much to do here at home to improve understanding of maternal health risks, recognizing warning signs, and identifying ways to prevent these threats to the health of mothers and their children. Right here in the United States we still have women dying every day from pregnancy-related complications and our prematurity rates are still much too high. Raising awareness of preeclampsia among women, their families, and their medical providers is an important step to improving birth outcomes for our nation's babies and mothers," said Congresswoman Capps. "Thank you to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for her leadership in obtaining this important designation."

We sell downloaded PDF materials that are password protected. We have had this happen only 3 times out of hundreds of downloads. It does not appear to have anything to do with the passwords. Our IT guy thinks it is spyware or something on the computer that is having the error. Is there anyone at Adobe that can answer this question?
Same thing happened to me. Update your adobe reader to the latest version. Open the file with that reader instead of with your copy of adobe acrobat. Unfortuanltey, you lose all the features of the adobe software, but at least you can read the file.
Hope you are able to read the doucments from the utility.
Note: If you are saving pdf's save then in a version that will allow those who have at least acrobat 6.0. Many orgnaizations and people are a couple of versions behind due to realative costs of upgrading. This simple task will save you those emails about "bad encrypt dictionary" and allow many to read your pdf's with no problems. At least that's been my experience.

"At my age, I may just quit."
He said expenses - transportation costs, rent at the farmer's market, pay for hired help - already make Christmas tree farming a less-than-lucrative business.
"I don't really want to quit," Armstrong said. "I love to do trees. If it was just the damn money, I would have quit a long time ago."
Armstrong's father, French, sold the farm's first Christmas tree in 1966. Armstrong started in the business in 1972, after selling a tree he grew as a 4-H project.
Al Tolliver, owner of Crickmer Farms in Danese, said about 1,000 of his trees were damaged by the snowstorm. He expects to salvage many of those trees, however.
The eastern Fayette County farm received at least 30 inches of snow, but because Crickmer Farms grows short-needled Fraser firs, the trees did not hold as much snow. Instead of sticking near the top and breaking those branches off, Tolliver said the snow drifted to the trees' middle branches.
Those branches eventually broke off, but Tolliver said he probably could trim the broken sections to allow new growth.
"We'll be able to recover most of them, but it'll take a year or two of growth," he said.
Still, Tolliver's business has been affected by the storm. He had enough trees to supply his Capitol Market operation but, like Armstrong, had to cancel wholesale orders. Tolliver couldn't supply trees to the Charleston Fire Department's annual tree sale.
Other tree growers escaped damage.
Marvin Edwards, who runs Whispering Pine Tree Farm near Point Pleasant and sells trees at the Capitol Market, said his farm didn't receive any snow at all.
Another Capitol Market seller, Kolen Lilly of Lilly's Landscaping, said his Mercer County farm received around 30 inches of snow, but it appears none of his quarter-million trees were affected.
"It didn't hurt mine. Thank God," he said.
Deputy State Forester Greg Cook said the state Division of Forestry has not received any reports of major damages to state forests.
"It would be very localized if anything," he said. "It was just kind of hit and miss all over."

50 police officers? Those 20 people arrested should be required to pay for it. You can protest all you want...but if you break the law you should pay the price....literally.
on Jun 24, 2011 at 6:53 pm
Craig: I agree 100% with you...If you are going to break the law, and force us to send all these police officers over, you better be prepared for the consequence, including hefty fines.
on Jun 25, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Raises the question, when Mr. Wohltmann writes
with neither side budging". The only place that the locked out workers have to budge is to walk away.
The community should be outraged that hard working people employed at a country club have been locked off their jobs by management at a club which people pay tens of thousands of dollars to join and remain members of. Shame on Castlewood.

Poured a thin layer of tan head on a black body.
The aroma is nice: roasted malt, chocolate and bread dough (interestingly enough).
The taste has a bold roasted malt profile with a sharp bitter injection in the middle. The finish has a sour note.
The texture is thick with moderate carbonation.
The flavor profile is abrupt. Drinkable but not great.

Pours thick, and I get a black colored beer with a very tall brown colored head.
Smells strongly of chocolate. Coconut and mild coffee with a hint of smoke. Smells a little sweet and a lot like German Chocolate cake.
Starts out sweet with a solid bitter snap. Warming in the chest as you would expect from a 10% beer. The basic flavor is bittersweet with a slightly over done caramel flavor to it. Chocolate, coffee and patent malt are all in here. Could be a little more complex.
Mouthfeel is thick.
Overall pretty good. Not very expensive for a 10% stout either. I suggest you give this a try.

Really black color in the Leffe chalice with some golden brown highlights. Rather attractive with the light beige head. Aroma of cereal and warm caramel.
Sort of a chalky mouthfeel with something like unsweetened chocolate on the tongue. Bitterness edges in increasingly after some sipping. Lots of blackened barley taste but with a forgiving mellowness of sweet malt. Not too sweet, this is really full bodied but nicely balanced. Winey taste with the robust happiness just adding an intriguing spiciness along with some dark caramel.
Quite a surprisingly good Imperial Stout, and it seems to taste better the more I sipped on this one. From the 22 oz bottle bought at Best Damn in San Diego.

Poured from bottle at around room temperature (~70 degrees) into a delirium tremens tulip glass. No bottled on date noticed, but I wasn't paying much attention to it since this is an imperial stout and freshness isn't a concern.
A - Poured pitch black with a nice inch thick mocha head with very fine bubbles that receded quickly leaving some spotty lacing around the walls of the glass. Impressive stuff.
S - Roastiness above everything else; I then pick up some earthy herbal hops. This beer must be fresh. After some swirling, I pick up some sweetness in the smell, hints of milk chocolate, dark fruits, coffee and burnt grains. Absolutely no indication of alcohol even at room temperature. For a beer at 10% ABV, this is a record of some sort I am sure.
T - Sweet and roasty. Initial hit of sweetness, almost like an uber-sweet espresso that is immediately checked by burnt wood-like roastiness. The roastiness carries well into the finish leaving a slightly dry palate; it provides the necessary balance for a beer of this size. I love roastiness in my stouts and this works well for me, but I can see how this may not be to everyone's liking. If roast isn't your thing, this isn't your beer. The alcohol is extremely well hidden. Wow!
M - While it isn't quite as lush as say a Bell's expedition, it definitely is still full and the carbonation keeps it lively in the mouth, coating it every so slightly.
O - For what it is, an everyday easy drinking, well-crafted beer that gets the job done without any fuss, this is an awesome brew. This could very well end up as my go-to stout along with the black bear stout from Bear republic. Highly recommend getting a bottle.

Pours black with a light brown head. Brown highlights around the edges. Foam lace sticks to the glass. The aroma might be a bit weak compared to the taste, but it's still quite nice. Sweet chocolate and caramel on a bed of roasted coffee. Light vegetal hoppiness. The taste adds a bunch more roast and dark chocolate. It's strong and a tad harsh. The beer starts sweet and rich but quickly gets bitter with roast and hop notes. Lasting aftertaste. Mouthfeel is very full and soft. Thick stuff, even for the style. This is a very good imperial stout. It's a bit bitter for my taste, but there's not much I can really criticize about it. Firehouse has done some good work.

22 oz bomber, an extra from a recent trade. It was allowed to warm before being poured into my Duvel tulip.
One Tun Imperial Stout pours a solid black. Three plus fingers of mocha foam rise up to the top of the roomy tulip glass, and show impressive staying power. The lacing is very sticky as well. The nose is pretty nice, with a healthy dose of dark chocolate balanced by a nice earthy hop aroma, but could stand to have a little bit more intensity. The flavor has some more roasty chocolate notes, with just a little bit of a coffee edge. A flash of figgy fruity esters then leads into the earthy hop finish. I do wish the roasted grain flavors were just a little more bold though. The body is full, and the carbonation on the subdued side, but the mouthfeel just isn't as rich or chewy as I'd ideally like in a big stout. One Tun Imperial Stout has definitely been a pleasant surprise, one of the more enjoyable extras I've received recently.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
A - Pours a deep thick black-brown with a finger of frothy chocolate colored head atop. The head fades down fairly slowly leaving behind some thick lace.
S - Aroma is full of deep roasted chocolate and bitter dark chocolate with some coffee , a touch of milk chocolate sweetness, a bit of earthiness, and some light alcohol.
T - Starts off with a mix of big roasted chocolate malts with some coffee and licorice and just a touch of dark fruit sweetness. Through the middle, more rich dark and milk chocolate flavors come through with a touch of earthiness. The finish is a mix of more dark chocolate and bitter coffee flavor with just a bit of alcohol coming though. Chocolate lingers on the tongue for a while.
M - Full bodied with mild carbonation. Fairly thick and almost syrupy but very smooth with a lingering warming and roasted chocolate finish.
D - Very drinkable. Really nice Imperial Stout. The flavors are very rich and bold and this is a pretty big beer, but everything feels very well balanced from start to end.

This beauty is as black as ink, with a decent light brown head and streaky lacing throughout. The aroma brings a nice medley of chocolate coffee and some licorice backbone, very nice. The first mouthful is smooth and full bodied with much of the same blended flavor noted in the aroma. Some charcoal malt and coffee licorice. It has a bit of a resinous quality, a little thin in feel but it coats the mouth nicely just the same. Mildly carbonated and very drinkable for an imperial, very little alcohol noted actually. Just easy drinking and quite flavorful. I think I did pick up on some degree of oatmeal and some herbal hops sort of an idea. Just a nice combination that tends toward the sweet malt with coffee bitterness to balance. A very enjoyable, drinkable stout.

2.55/5 rDev -36.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2
On tap at the Rose & Crown.
A: Pours a dark, opaque brown (nearly black) in the snifter. It has a nice finger of light mocha head that retains pretty well, collapsing in big sections until it leaves a light film on top of the brew.
S: Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Very balanced aroma. Hints of anise.
T: Roasted malt/coffee and chocolate in equal portions up front. A grainy flavor in mid-taste that I suppose is the oat contribution. The finish pulls out anise that pulls into the finish. Pretty solid.
M: Very smooth and creamy. The carbonation is a little high for the style, but it's quite flavorful.
D: I'd have this again, but it's questionable as to whether I'd have this over another oatmeal stout, such as Velvet Merkin. Even though this is an imperial, it doesn't bring a lot of flavor to the table to justify the extra ABV and calories. Like I said above, it's solid... Passable.

On tap at Rose & Crown.
Pours darkest brown with a nicely formed tan head and good lacing.
Aroma is very nice: roast, chocolate, and anise dominate.
Flavor is somewhat subtle for the style (as opposed to something like Dark Lord) and fairly well-balanced. Roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, and licorice blend together pretty seamlessly.
Medium body for the style with a pretty smooth mouthfeel and not much booziness at all.
Drinkable. A very solid imperial stout overall, and I know one when I see one!

A puppy rescued by the Lucas County Pit Crew is in desperate need of help.
Darby's eight weeks on Earth haven't been the easiest, but she's now in the care of the Lucas County Pit Crew (LCPC). The rescue group took Darby in Tuesday night, and they say she needed immediate attention.
Darby, a pit mix, is emaciated and dehydrated. After a visit to the vet, she's eating like a champ, but she's still very sick.
"She's really underweight. She only weighs about five pounds right now and at this age, she should really weigh about 15 pounds," said Amy Roth, a volunteer. "She has a ways to go, so she'll be in foster care getting well, getting nutrients and love to help her get better."
Caring for Darby as she gets well is expensive, and the LCPC needs help. Visit their website for information on donating.

Your parents money: Is it at Risk?
Your parents' money-you saw them work a lifetime to build up their savings. They now are retired, enjoying their grandchildren and life in general.
You are busy with your career-haven't visited in a while. When you do make time-you run in the home you were raised in, expecting a hug and laughter, but what you find shakes you to the core.
Your Dad is sitting at the table, holding his head. Mom, whose memory has been gradually deteriorating, has trouble remembering your name.
"What's wrong?" you ask.
Your Dad looks up, "She spent it all!!!!!, Every penny-I know she didn't mean to. But we have lost it all…"
It is difficult to watch your parents health deteriorate, but even scarier is watching them lose their memory and judgment.
When that happens to YOUR parents, they are at risk of mismanaging their money, but also of being the victim of evil folks who prey on the elderly.
You know you want to prevent your folks from being scammed, but don't want to seem nosy, interfering know-it-all!!!! The news is full of stories about elderly people who have been taken advantage.
Here are just a few of the frauds directed at senior citizens, according to the FBI:
Senior Citizen Frauds:
- Counterfeit prescription drugs
- Cemetery and burial frauds
- Telemarketing frauds-especially contests, and sweepstakes.
- Internet schemes
- Investment Schemes
- Reverse mortgage frauds
- Identity theft
Why are the elderly vulnerable to this sort of fraud?
According to the FBI:
- The elderly are trusting.
- They may be looking for an anti-aging or get rich scheme.
- They are less likely to report fraud due to embarrassment.
- They may have a nest egg-making them a great target!
What Can You do?
What can you do to prevent these fraudulent activities as the child of elderly parents?
- Begin the conversation early-before your parents mental faculties deteriorate. Get them used to talking about their finances. Discuss what is in the news-clip out articles on the subject, send them links if they are computer savvy. The quickest way to shut their minds is for the one whose diaper they changed, trying to tell them what to do.
- Make sure your siblings are all on the same page-there are so many stories about families being split because one sibling took advantage of Mom and Dad.
- Stay part of their lives-visit, spend time with them-they deserve it. As you get older you will cherish those memories-so slow down, and give them your attention.
- Freeze credit-if their credit is frozen, it is more difficult for scams to occur.
- Identity theft protection-self explanatory-see this post for more information. Offer to buy it for them, or get it for a birthday, Christmas, or anniversary present! (Better than a tie!)
- Ask them to review your financial situation- ask for an opinion on your finances, which can naturally lead to a conversation about theirs.
The Lean Life Coach @ Eliminate the Muda, (great name huh) has written a post on helping elderly parents with their money-read his take here. Let's honor our parents, and keep an eye on them. It is the least you could do! And remember, the elderly are not the only ones who are at risk for financial fraud. There are thousands of crooks out there trying to take your hard-earned money. As the old police sargent on Hill Street Blues used to say-"Let's be careful out there!!!"

Maxthon User Reviews
"Best Browser Out There"
Version: Maxthon 18.104.22.1680
Fast, Different, Fun,
Not alot of Add-ons
IE drives people away, Chrome is too Light, Mozilla keeps crashing, Opera seems it's for old pople, Maxthon is the way to go. Have no idea why people on here are bashing it.
"As good as Chrome"
Version: Maxthon 188.8.131.520
You have the split screen ability, and the ability to close tabs faster than chrome, Maxthon has a nice, clean look. Has a built-in flash player for YouTube and other sites that needs flash.
Adhunter(ad blocker built in on Maxthon) is not that fully functional, you need to choose and close the ads one-by-one.
Not recommended for noobs who does not want ads in their browser.
Version: Maxthon 126.96.36.1990
MOBILE: Ease of use and auto keeps your setting for desktop pages w/o auto changing back to mobile pages! Very easy to use, setup, understand how it operates, etc. & works perfect each time!
DOES NOT CRASH AT ALL! Super fast about 30% faster than Bing/Google!
FEATURES: Not enough space on here for me to tell you!
DOWNLOADS: I only have 3g speeds and things that take 5 minutes take 2!
VIDs: You don't need flash on your phone to watch videos or switch over to the YouTube app to watch them...TOTALLY SO EASY!
DESKTOP: You can keep all your settings like you have on the phone so you don't have to get used to using two different browsers!Cons
This could just be me, but when searches first load the page shows up in very tiny font, using the desktop version...doesn't with mobile.
Overall this is an OUTSTANDING browser, it's very fast, doesn't crash like Bing Opera or Google does on my cell. Pages load like a version of Bing & Google mixed together...so you have the best of both worlds! I learned how to use this browser in just the first 2 minutes of loading it up on my cell & tab, settings are easy & clear to understand! I'm amazed it only has 4 stars!
Give it a try, after just two minutes you'll see exactly how nice & easy this is to use. Any beginner can get it if you know how to click or tap it's an absolute BREEZE! -
Version: Maxthon 126.96.36.1990
Great Browser Fast, Easy, And Simple. Great Features, Customizable Interface I Love It! Maxthon Works And Looks Like IE Interface But Better! I Would Recommend For Newbies And Kids Really Easy And Safe To Use.
Freezes(For Few Seconds) Slightly On Videos And High End Flash Sites! Otherwise Great Browser.
All In All Maxthon Browser Is Great Better Then Chrome And Firefox. Would Highly Recommend For Newbies And Kids Very Easy To Use. I Love It!!!
"crashes alot"
Version: Maxthon 188.8.131.520
Record video, without opening another program up.
Crashes to much. Every fews days everything is gone and you have to start over. It will not let me into site i been to before after it crash and you fix it.
Next crash this is history.
"crash continius by youtube"
Version: Maxthon 188.8.131.520
crash always by Mega upload
uninstall it!
"Big surprise!!I like Maxthon"
Version: Maxthon 220.127.116.110
It is fast and find it to be very much to the point without excess extra stuff.
I has a LastPass plug in that does't work and I must have a Password Manager as I do with Firefox,Chrome and IE.
"Basically useless"
Version: Maxthon 184.108.40.2060
Fairly fast for the mondane stuff.
Many pages are not properly displayed. I was trying to pass an order on a website it took for ever to process it. The final order confirmation page hung and finally crashed.
Unrealiable, hence I uninstalled it right away.
"Excellent bullet-proof browser, very user friendly."
Version: Maxthon 184.108.40.2060
Very stable browser that rarely complains about anything unlike IE9 0r 10 which fall over at each and every given opportunity. Built-in download-manager is basic but functional. It deals with my proxy settings by itself and without complaint, and has definitely grown on me over time. It works fine with my Win 8 pro o/s and is not noticeably slow or clunky which I was expecting it to be. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise and made the process of bending Win 8 back into shape. I advise anybody who'se installed 8 to download a third party start-button and with Maxthon installed as default browser you suddenly have a whole new familiar and powerful machine again. For those who like a bit more privacy there is Comodo, but for everyday hassle-free interwebbing Maxthon has got what it takes for a happy new relationship with your previously horrible machine. You get a Maxthon multi-search option already built-in which was innovative too, which can be handy for finding well, anything really.
Not many cons at all. Download manager could use a bit of tarting-up and facilities for hitting mirror sites for those fast downloads. A choice of Nice techhy skins and bolt-ons would be nice for advanced users, but the icons it comes with aren't that bad. Could maybe just be a little quicker, but if the leisurely speed is the price of stability it works for me.
Download it, try it, it's not a huge program and once you've gotten used to it I'm pretty sure it'll not be long till you default it.
It's strong, it never panics, it does what you want it to. It has a lot to offer and if it's not ruined by over-zealous development it's gonna be a serious rival to some browsers such as IE. which is buggy as a mangy dog by comparison. The combination of IE with an un-corrected Win 8 is a recipe for misery and frustration. Maxthon goes a long way to fixing that and making using your PC or laptop nice again. I have Win 8 on my new laptop, and I very nearly took it back to the shop to get my money back it was that nasty. But again, a 3rd party start button and Maxthon made it all nice like it shoulda been to start with. I'm enjoying my computing again - Hurrah!!
So, plenty of good points and plenty of potential. Does what you want, when you want. Now that's gotta be good. -
"What happened?"
Version: Maxthon 22.214.171.1240
Has a lot of features,like the UI.
takes up too much resource and crashes very often.

Luxuriously soft doesn't even begin to cover it.

These cotton balls' softness is impossible to imagine or even describe, one has to experience it. Luxuriously soft doesn't even begin to cover it. It is disappointing however that they come in plastic bags. I wish they were protected from touching the plastic by in an organic cotton layer or even sterile paper. Soft plastic contains phthalates (bisphenol-A) which is a well known endocrine disruptor. Having said this this is a lot better than normal cotton balls. Let's hope an organic cotton company out there sees this and improves on the packaging.

Sedos, the City of London's premier amateur theatre company, is holding auditions for the Flaherty and Ahrens' musical A Man of No Importance.
"What we had was something.
What we had was rare.
Poetry and art in the air.
And friends..."
In Dublin in 1964, bus conductor and Oscar Wilde fan Alfie has ambitions to stage Salome, despite the objections of the church hierachy at St Imelda's, where his amateur theatre group is based. When a newcomer to town, Adele, joins his passengers, he realises he has found the right person for the title role and starts to assemble his cast.
Meanwhile Alfie's sister Lily mistakes her brother's interest in Adele as romantic - she longs to have him off her hands so she can be free to marry. Little does Lily realise that Alfie's love "dare not speak its name" and the object of his affections is in fact bus driver Robbie.
As opening night draws near, secrets come spilling out which threaten to shake this little community to its core. But camaraderie and the redeeming power of theatre offer a thread of hope in this story of friendship, forbidden love and finding our place in the world.
Auditions: Easter Monday, 1 April (throughout the day)
Recalls: Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 April
Rehearsals: start 11 May, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings plus Saturday daytimes, with occasional Friday evenings and Sunday daytimes
Performances: 23-27 July at the Bridewell Theatre

DescriptionFresno Dome was known by the Mono Indians as "the greeting place" ("wah-me-yelo"). John Muir called it "Wamello", now mostly known as Fresno Dome which it is called on the USGS topo map.. Royal Robbins used this area as one of his locations for his Rockcraft School back in the 1970s and pioneered many routes. Most climbs range from 3 to 5 pitches in length. Some my be considered run out by today's standards. A number of shorter sport routes can be found on Zippity-Do-Dah Buttress and Panorama Wall. Willow Creek Wall has a number of bolted slab routes, up to about 100 feet long. The Main Wall, South Face, West Face and Hawk Dome offer multi pitch routes. Getting ThereFrom the town of Oakhurst drive north on Highway 41. About 1/2 mile after you pass the Bass Lake turnoff, turn right on Sky Ranch Road (road 632). Follow this (lots of pot holes, some dirt) for approximately 16 miles (past Fresno Dome campground) until you see the large Fresno Dome trailhead parking sign on your right. 16 Total Routes

Angry Brewers Take it Out on the Reds
The Milwaukee Brewers finished off the series with the Cincinnati Reds in very nice fashion; winning all three games on the road. Excuse me, let me rephrase that. The Brewers exercised some demons on the Reds this past weekend by sweeping them in their own ballpark!
What happened? The Brewers aren't a dominating road team to begin with. In fact they haven't had the best success on the road for the better part of the season and to take that one step further, they haven't fared well in the Reds' home ballpark since it was built. The Brewers haven't had a sweep in Great American Ball Park since the first year of its existence, eight years ago, in 2003. The Crew didn't just sweep them either. They put a beat down on the Reds. The Brewers outscored them 24 - 5, out hit them 30 - 13 and had 10 home runs to their 1. If those offensive numbers are not enough for you, then maybe the pitching can convince everyone that the Brewers dominated this series. Randy Wolf gave up three runs in seven innings pitched, Yovani Gallardo gave up one run in six innings pitched and Zack Greinke allowed only one as well in seven innings of work. And that was it for runs because the bullpen didn't give up anything....all three games. Wow! This series sweep is about as good as it can get. The brewers took all three games, on the road, against a division rival, in a park they typically do not play well in against a fairly good team. The Reds are not playoff bound, but they are still a good team despite what their record says. Cincinnati has all but dominated the Brewers the past few seasons. They have been that team within the division that just had Milwaukee's number no matter what the Brewers did. It was sure nice to see the Brewers capture a series like they did this past weekend and Manager Ron Roenicke believed so as well, "I think so, I think when we get it going, we can get on that roll for a long time and hopefully this is it." Let us hope so coach. Side note: Ryan Braun came into the series against the Reds batting .329. He raised his batting average to .336 going 8 for 13, 3 HR, 5 runs and 6 RBI. That's a heck of a series. I would be very surprised if he doesn't win the MVP with how he's been finishing off what has already been a great offensive year. |

When we last left Lethal Performance's latest GT500 project we had run the gamut of bolt-on modifications ("Let It Eat," Nov. '12, p. 74). The results were quite impressive, as the car put down more than 740 horsepower at the tire with the stock blower and more than 830 rwhp on the sauce. With UPR Products' Jeremy Martorella rowing the gears, the combination yielded a 9.77-second e.t. at 148.80 mph on the Palm Beach International Raceway drag strip. After the built motor and big blower Jeremy ripped off a 9.39 at 147.63 mph.

Experience Columbus, the convention and visitors bureau of Columbus, Ohio, has launched an unusual new marketing campaign—you might be even call it counterintuitive.
Unveiled at the ASAE annual convention in San Diego (August 16-19), the campaign doesn't focus on what the city has to offer; instead, it hones in on what it doesn't have to offer. "We don't have pyramids in Columbus," reads the slogan, with a picture of a pyramid with an X through it. Below, it reads, "But everything you'd want for a meeting is right here in Columbus." There are also have variations on the theme, including a picture of the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, and Mount Everest, all with an X through them.
The idea, says Brian Ross, vice president, sales, at Experience Columbus, is to grab people's attention, maybe make them laugh, and make it memorable. Typically, audiences are bombarded with messages and images that show a skyline or sell features of a destination. In effect, nothing stands out as distinct; it just blends together, he says. According to a statement on Experience Columbus' website, "We've turned the table upside down and developed an approach that will promote our gems. After all, that's what it's all about. But first, we'll catch their attention in a nontraditional way."
To promote this nontraditional campaign, the CVB is using nontraditional means. First, CVB staff invited area bloggers in to hear about the campaign and write their opinions about it, as well as about the city as a destination. The bureau also created a Twitter page to allow people write reviews and post thoughts about the city. The idea, says Ross, is to have individuals sell the city, not necessarily just the professionals at the CVB. Additionally, the bureau is in the process of creating a YouTube video about its ad campaign, showing the running of the bulls with the tag line, "You can't run with the bulls in Columbus." The hope is that it becomes viral, sent from one person to the next.
Whether or not it works remains to be seen, says Ross. But the research suggests that, since planners and others don't always respond to typical marketing campaigns, it's worth a try.

Golden Valley Natural Organic Beef Jerky Black Pepper -- 3 oz
Great beef jerky
I am not much of a jerky eater, but when I tasted my son's peppered for the first time, I could not resist. I prefer to buy the Golden Valley organic peppered, it is fantastic. Soft and easy to chew. Highly recommended!
July 31, 2013
Great product
I tried fourteen different jerky products and ranked each one for flavor, tenderness. I didn't include any products with nitrates or MSG on the ingredients list. Golden Valley Natural Organic won hands down. Beef original, black pepper, and turkey black pepper were at the top of the list.
July 28, 2013
Excellent Product
Great product for a good price. No junk. Recommended for all who want an Organic Product with no nitrates etc. I rarely eat anything with sugar so for me it is a little sweet. I prefer Jerky that is on the salt side but can't seem to find it anywhere anymore.
This is the best Beef Jerky I have found in a long time.
July 21, 2013
Very Nice!
I like the flavor and the packaging.
July 18, 2013
This is the best jerky we have ever eaten. It is not so dry and has great flavor. It is also organic which is important to us. We like all the flavors!

Department of Theatre and Film
A Telephone Conversation with Filmmaker Travis Cook
by Kyle Whited
While many filmmakers his age are just getting started working the film industry, writer/director/producer Travis Cook has already made a mark. Only 23-years-old, Cook has sold distribution and broadcast rights to the television network Logo for his short film, 5 Telephone Conversations. His film has also appeared in many film festivals including Palm Springs International Shorts Festival, Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, and Newfest in New York.
Exploring the interactions between two men on an internet dating website, 5 Telephone Conversations is a narrative film that follows John and Korey as they attempt to make a connection through a series of telephone conversations. Describing the film as "an unconventional yet touching love story about finding your counterpart in a technologically isolated world," Cook's film arose from his personal experiences with internet dating. To view his film now visit http://www.logoonline.com/shows/events/short_films/all_films.jhtml or look for it on the television station, Logo.
Cook's latest film, Next Exit, Main Street, is a documentary that explores the lives of various Americans throughout the country during a 40-day, cross-country road trip. Interviewing an array of people with different backgrounds throughout the country (including a stop in Toledo!), the film's mission statement suggests that "Americans are not tied together by political identity, geographical location or belief systems but primarily by love, hope and dreams—universal truths." Premiering March 29, 2008 at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival, the film will expand to other film festivals in April. For more information on his film visit www.nextexitmovie.com.
With the premiere of Next Exit, Main Street in less than a week and Logo's constant streaming of 5 Telephone Conversations, Travis Cook was more than happy to discuss his films and his filmmaking advice with a student. After all, just a few years ago, he was a student himself.
What are the themes of 5 Telephone Conversations?
I think the main theme of my short film is isolation. In an ironic way, the more 'connected' we have become through technology and the internet, the more closed off we have become from each other. So I think 5 Telephone Conversations looks at how hard it can be to find romance considering the hurdles of technology.
How would you describe this film stylistically?
I felt the only way to truly capture the story of these two characters was through split screen and multiple frames of video. Each of the five scenes starts and ends with the beginning and end of each phone call, so the audience is restricted by what they see and know. But at the same time, because you never look away from either of the two characters, you really get to see how flawed and insecure both of them are.
How long did it take for you to make 5 Telephone Conversations?
I made 5 Telephone Conversations my senior year of film school at Loyola Marymount Univ. as my thesis film project, so I technically made it in one semester. We shot in 2 and a half days, but I had to re-shoot Korey's side of the 4th phone call cause we didn't have a usable take of his portion of the scene that timed with John's side of the scene--which is why his hair is slightly longer in that scene.
What drew you to the subject and themes?
I have done my fair share of Internet dating, so I wanted to share that experience with an audience. I also think it is fascinating to have a romantic movie where the two leads never meet in person and yet you're still able to see each character grow and become a better person due to that interaction
Who would you like to see this film? What would you like these audiences to get out of the film?
I want anyone and everyone to see what I make. For 5 Phone Conversations, I want the subject matter of Internet dating (and gay internet dating, for that matter) to be de-mystified. I also just want to tell a good story.
What was your distribution process for the film?
I mostly followed the festival route for my short film. I premiered at the Palm Springs International Shorts Fest. From there, I got into the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and then Newfest in New York. Executives at Logo and here! Networks saw my film there and they both made offers to pick up the US Distribution Broadcast Rights. I ended up going with Logo.
What is the status of Next Exit, Main Street? What festivals are premiering the film?
After two years of intense work, Next Exit, Main Street is finally done. We are going to premiere at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival next Saturday. Then, the week after that we are at the Wisconsin Film Festival and the Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. And then later on in April, we're showing at the DeReel Film Festival in Australia
What are you working on next?
I'm currently doing lots of writing with my writing partner. Also, my friend is currently finishing up work on a separate feature documentary, and we've met and discussed collaborating on mockumentary together.
What advice would you give to student filmmakers?
Having just finished film school in 2006, it seems weird to give other film students advice, but I'll share advice that I got in film school that was really helpful. I was told to write and make "what you know." Whether it's from experience or just a topic you're passionate about, I believe audiences really respond to personal stories. And it also helps to define who you are as a filmmaker.

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up.

I started Got the Nerve with the goal of providing a chance for people of all abilities to come out and challenge themselves in a motivating and encouraging environment. Since the race's inaugural year in 2004, I have met countless inspiring athletes who started their triathlon careers with Got the Nerve and have since gone on to competing in marathons, Olympic distance and even Ironman distance triathlons. These athletes realized what they could accomplish by taking their first step at a race that I am very proud to direct and call my own.
On race day you will see everyone from beginner to veteran triathletes, disabled athletes, and families young and old, all with the same goal…to push hard and discover what they're capable of. Dig deep and you can accomplish anything!

BALLSTON SPA - The Board of Supervisors in Saratoga County has rejected the nomination of a 22-year-old recent Siena college graduate to a $62,000 a year position to head the animal shelter.
The vote came after a contentious meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
Some who spoke at the meeting said Christina Abele is too young and inexperienced.
Others spoke in favor of her.
Abele would have been responsible for an $830,000 annual budget, 13 employees and dozens of volunteers.
She is the daughter of a Halfmoon builder and her father is a longtime Republican Party contributor.

SIGGRAPH 2012 -- NVIDIA today launched the second generation of its breakthrough workstation platform, NVIDIA® Maximus™, featuring Kepler™, the fastest, most efficient GPU architecture.
The Maximus platform, introduced in November, gives workstation users the ability to simultaneously perform complex analysis and visualization on a single machine. Now supported by Kepler-based GPUs, Maximus delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency to professionals in fields as varied as manufacturing, visual effects and oil exploration.
Maximus initially broke new ground as a single system that handles interactive graphics and the compute-intensive number crunching required to simulate or render them -- resulting in dramatically accelerated workflows. With this second generation of Maximus, compute work is assigned to run on the new NVIDIA Tesla® K20 GPU computing accelerator, freeing up the new NVIDIA Quadro K5000 GPU to handle graphics functions. Maximus unified technology transparently and automatically assigns visualization and simulation or rendering work to the right processor.
"With the parallel processing capabilities enabled by NVIDIA Maximus systems, we can now be 10 times more creative," said Alan Barrington, a designer at the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center California. "With the NVIDIA Maximus-powered environment, we can continue to refine and improve our design, right up to the last minute. We can stay efficient and multitask. We no longer have to settle for less or to compromise on our creativity."
NVIDIA Maximus: Boosting Graphics and Compute Powered by the Kepler architecture, the second generation of Maximus improves both the visualization and computation capabilities of the platform.
Key NVIDIA Quadro K5000 GPU features include:
Key NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU features include:
Transforming Workflows Across Industries, From Jet Engine Design to Seismic Analysis Here are some examples of how Maximus is transforming workflows across industries:
Availability and Pricing Second generation NVIDIA Maximus-powered desktop workstations featuring the new NVIDIA Quadro K5000 ($2,249 MSRP, USD) plus the new NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU ($3,199 MSRP, USD) will be available starting in December 2012. The NVIDIA Quadro K5000 will be available as a separate discrete desktop GPU starting in October 2012.
ISV Certifications and Support Leading software vendors certify and support NVIDIA Maximus-powered workstations, including Adobe, ANSYS, Autodesk, Bunkspeed, Dassault Systèmes, MathWorks and Paradigm.
Workstation OEM Support The world's leading workstation OEMs -- including HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Fujitsu, plus systems integrators such as BOXX Technologies and Supermicro -- will offer second generation NVIDIA Maximus-powered workstations.

Franklin celebrates its first-ever MHSAA Division 1 team regional wrestling title after a 39-30 win over Southgate Anderson. / GARY STEELE
Livonia Franklins wrestling team has enjoyed a rich tradition during Dave Chiolas tenure as head coach.
But the Patriots broke new ground Wednesday night, earning their first trip ever to the Kellogg Center in Battle Creek as they will march among a parade of eight Division 1 regional champions in the MHSAAs team finals.
Franklin, now 16-7 overall, defeated host Southgate Anderson, 39-30, in the regional final following a 53-24 semifinal victory over Birmingham Seaholm.
I go to the state tournament every year and sat in the bleachers knowing that we were better than some of the teams down there, said Chiola, now in his 14th season. And I know when we go there this year there are going to be teams better than us that are up in the bleachers. Weve had some very, very good teams, but weve always run into a CC (Novi Detroit Catholic Central) or somebody else that were better than us. But its nice. Its a deserving team. Theyve shown a lot of heart.
Holding on to a 33-30 lead in the regional final, Adam Ross clinched the victory for the Patriots in the final match at 125 pounds. Ross was in control from the start and was up 10-0 when officials disqualified his Southgate opponent for stalling tactics. Franklin was awarded the maximum six points.
Double-winners on the day for the Patriots included Nathan Atienza (130), Collin Smith (135), Nick Frazier (152), Dan Huber (171) and Jordan Atienza (189). Kenneth Steele (160) also added a victory for Franklin in the final against Southgate.
Chiola juggled his lineup with senior Jordan Atienza, last years state runner-up at 152, moving up from 160 to 189.
Because of the teams weve had, weve always try to do the best match-ups we can, but because you do it on paper doesnt mean always they follow through, Chiola said. This is one of the few times where we did the match-ups perfectly, that every kid did his job. Every single kid did exactly what he was supposed to do all the way through. Total team effort.
Franklin is among three teams in the elite eight from the Kensington Lakes Activities Association, joining by Hartland and Plymouth.
I told my guys from the beginning of the year we had a shot, Chiola said. They ended every practice all year with a top eight chant. We didnt care about division, conference, Observerland ... anything. We kept our eyes on one goal. Everybody stepped up for this win. It is a great feeling.
Three of the top four seeds will more than likely be No. 1-ranked Davison, No. 2 and defending champion Catholic Central and No. 3 Hartland. All four quarterfinal matches start at 3:15 p.m. Friday in Battle Creek. The semifinals will be at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, followed by the finals at 4 p.m.
Franklin will be a decided underdog, but Chiola has been pleased with the way his team has improved this season. (The draws will be released after a seeding meeting by the MHSAA Sunday night.)
The last month, weve really turned it on, he said. The kids have gotten down to competitive weights after wrestling up all year. Theyve gotten down to competitive weights and are peaking at the right time. With other teams, weve peaked in December before, but with these guys its coming at the end of the year. Very exciting.

This is an interesting concept. Is it enough for the USP to turn things around? |
Heck, if the package is in the "metropolitan area" why can't folks just go pick it up themselves...lazy bastards. On another related note, how many of you have noticed that small packages usually delivered directly by UPS (and occasionally FedEx) are now being transferred to the local USPS for final delivery? I have tracked many packages I've recieved lately and most follow that routine. Are UPS and FedEx throwing the USPS a bone or what? Newman!! |

I'd just like to know about the discrepancies between using a smith machine vs bench press. which one is better for measuring your max? i know that when using a smith machine it is more geared towards focusing mainly on your pecs, since you dont have to stabilize. but with regular bench you do. the thing is that my max on a smith machine is 245. but on the regular bench press i can only push about 195. i weigh in at 160. is there any way i can equalize? i can dumbell press 200 but my bench press is what is disappointing me. shouldnt one be able to bench more than they press? my numbers on the smith seem reasonable but my bench sux.
dont even bother using a smith machine those things suck

so you can dumbell press more than you barbell press, that doesn't make much sense, unless i'm reading it wrong. but either way don't do smith machine press, there isn't a way to equalize it because the smith machine is way easier. its kinda like squats vs. leg press (even though this is a extreme example), one is way easier than the other, you will always be able to do more on leg press than you can on squat. same thing with smith machine bench vs. barbell bench

David Sable der weltweite Y&R CEO beschreibt seine Eindrücke und Konklusionen seines diesjährigen Besuches an der Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. David sandte den folgenden englischen Text an alle Mitarbeitenden; wir wollen ihn Ihnen nicht vorenthalten:
For the past many, many years, I have been attending CES, the Consumer Electronics Show. Once it was strictly a buyers show, where the big retailers came to make the deals with the likes of Sony, Panasonic and GE. (Remember any of those companies?) Then, a number of years ago, the show organizers invited Bill Gates to be the opening keynote speaker and the show transformed itself into a technology showcase, where everyone in the space who had anything to do with technology, (including Ford, by the way), came to unveil, look at, view, buy, discuss technology as opposed to only products, i.e., devices.
Today, many of our clients are here as well, along with every new media, including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, AOL, you name it. And their discussion is focused on how the "technology" they see impacts the brand through the user experience.
Among the notable things introduced at CES over the years — Pong by Atari, VCRs, Camcorders, Compact Discs, Nintendo, Digital Satellite systems, HDTV, Microsoft Xbox, Plasma TVs, Blu-Ray Discs. You get the picture…all the magical innovations that have transformed our lives many times over and have given us so many new ways to tell stories about our clients' brands.
Yet interestingly enough, if you follow the reports, there is nothing majorly new about technology being introduced this year. Remember my point of view, that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are not technologies, nor do they consider themselves to be technologies. So from a technology/new device point of view, there's not a lot new.
However, it is critical to look at where the emphasis is, because I think that's very telling. And not only is it telling, I think it's hugely empowering for our business. The show this year is all about screens and mobility. And I'd argue that screens and mobility is in fact what our business is all about.
First the discussion on screens. The discussion is no longer about how many screens…remember the focus on three screens, then four? All the talk about how many screens, where, when and how, are completely dead and gone. Now the buzz is this. Whose screen is bigger? Whose screen is brighter? Whose screen has deeper and better colors? Which screen is the smallest and most portable?
The advances are, in fact, remarkable. Just a few years ago, there were gargantuan wall-sized screens that weighed two tons, gave off enough heat to warm your house in winter and cost a small fortune. Today those same screens weigh two hundred pounds (still heavy, but look at the difference), run cool, and are eminently affordable.
Then, of course, there are the small phone-sized screens that have the same integrity of color, brightness and definition — in fact, often more. So here's what it's got me thinking. What's going on these screens?
There's a lot of discussion everywhere about everything becoming smart. All the talk is around screens and apps and converging user interfaces. Today, you can use your television like an iPad to get on Facebook, check your email, pay your bills, listen to your music. But the truth is, despite the greater affordability, no one is buying a huge screen with magnificent colors and unbelievably high definition just to do Facebook.
People are buying these screens with the anticipation, the promise, the hope of great content — content that has emotional impact, a huge entertainment value and ultimate gratification.
Now let's talk about mobile. There's been a lot of talk about the consumerization of IT. Don't think consumerization, think mobility. And don't just think smartphone, think about how even a TV screen can be mobile (Wi-Di) so that you can walk around your house or anywhere, for that matter, and watch the ballgame, a movie or your favorite weekly show.
So how does it all converge? Mobility and smaller screens, i.e., smart phones, when used with your big-screen immersive experience give us new and better ways to connect and create experiences that are much deeper than way back when you used to talk to your friend on the phone while you were watching the same TV show.
Bottom line, we need to start thinking about content in a different way. We have to segment and connect the different types of experiences. Facebook, accessed on your mobile device while you are watching the World Cup or Super Bowl on your big screen, is an infinitely more powerful experience than doing either one alone. Both have emotional impact, both have connective impact, but by bringing these two strands of emotion and connectivity together, the game is changed. And that is the big win.
Interestingly enough, the companies like Facebook get it. Companies like Google get it. Companies like Microsoft get it. And they are all looking for ways to increase the value of the content we watch on the screens.
We are being handed unbelievable technology every day. The companies that are closer to their customers get that it's the great creative experience immersed in the technology that sparks and sustains consumer interest.
It goes back to what I've been talking about:
Creativity + Innovation = New Consumer Experience
That's the discussion we need to keep having, the area we need to keep pushing, the direction we are heading. Just think how our world has so greatly opened — and keeps opening — as technology proliferates so rapidly.
So, in a few years from now, when screens can roll up and be stowed away in your pocket, we will be there ready to help our clients engage and connect with their customers.
Technology for technology's sake has a short shelf life. So it's really all about the meaning we can create with it.

Last Thursday, my friends Dan, Kevin and I had the good fortune to see legendary guitarist Mick Taylor at the famed New York City jazz club Iridium.
Taylor, as any Rock Turtleneck reader surely knows, was the "other Mick" in the Rolling Stones for most of what is surely the greatest run of consecutive classic LPs ever recorded. His soaring, stinging leads can be heard especially all over Exile on Main St. and what I think may be the greatest record of all time by anyone, Sticky Fingers. His leads were a thrilling counterpart to Keith Richards' chugging rhythm guitar and gave the Stones a dimension that their music lacked before and ever since.
Surrounded by an ad-hoc band of studio and touring pros, Taylor gave a master class in emotion and feel at his Iridium set. He does not play particularly quickly or rely on any sort of gimmicks or fancy effects. Rather, he simply makes every note count, and he knows intuitively exactly what notes to play.
Mick went light on the Stones material, playing only the instrumental coda of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (he wouldn't be able to get out of there alive without doing so), and pulled out his Gibson SG for a hot version of the Robert Johnson standard "Stop Breakin' Down," which the Stones covered on Exile.
Mick played some of his signature slide leads here, which more than made up for the fact that this "early show" was only an hour or so long. Some guy sitting WAY behind me was kind enough to record it.
Making the show particularly special was the fact that my buds and I scored tickets in the very front of the venue. I was literally right against the stage, close enough to reach out and touch the man, were I not a man of wealth and taste. (All of these pictures were taken with my iPhone, with no zooming or cropping necessary.)
While waiting for someone with the same surname Turtleneck to get out of our reserved seats, we struck up a very brief conversation with longtime Rolling Stone writer David Fricke. He was kind enough to write a detailed review of the show, which you can read here.
Mick Taylor has fallen on hard emotional and financial times in recent years, but has lost none of his musical gifts. I suggest he cash in his pedigree with a tell-all book about his years with the Stones, replacing Eric Clapton in the Blues Breakers and backing up Bob Dylan on the Infidels album and underrated 1984 European tour.
Here's the "other Mick" and the original Mick, back in the day, doing some fine work on the country romp "Dead Flowers."
