This is the website of the civil parish of Keresley in north Coventry.
Last updated 31 August 2014
Three dates for your diary
- September 2nd Tuesday 2pm Council House Cabinet Local Plan presented
- September 9th Tuesday 2pm Full Council meeting where the Local Plan will be discussed. Please be on the Council steps 1pm to 2pm to set out our views to Councillors as they go in
- September 10th Wednesday 7pm Bablake Ward Forum Keresley Grange School. Councillor Kershaw will be there, and we can ask him to explain his Council's plans to destroy Keresley, and how we are opposing them.
Minutes of the last meeting (August 5) are here. These include the new media policy, the cash book and bank reconciliation statements.Pegasus deadline
Planning now say site notices went up on 14th August so the deadline is 21 days from then, which is 4 September - so we have another week for objections. I've asked them to correct the misleading information on their website.
New Coventry Local Plan
You will probably have seen in the Telegraph the latest version of the Local Plan. It means the greatest change in Keresley since the 1930s. This will become a large housing estate with all fields built on.
You can read the plan here (7M pdf). This will be presented to Cabinet on September 2nd, at 2pm - this is a public meeting, so please attend. If approved - and there seems no reason why it will not - it will go for debate in a full Council meeting on September 9th. We plan to be on the Council House steps between 1pm and 2pm to let Councillors know our opinions.
The Plan is based on a housing need of 36,220 up to 2032 - following revised ONS population forecasts. That compares with 33,500 in the plan withdrawn in May 2010. Around 15,000 can be placed on brown field sites.
The Plan sets out 3 options. The first protects the Green Belt, and builds on the surrounding Warwickshire countryside outside the city boundary. This will greatly alarm our friends in Corley and Fillongley. The second option builds everything within the city boundary - and therefore all over the Green Belt. The planners are recommending the third option, which is a mix - so building both on the Green Belt and on the surrounding countryside. Clearly all 3 options are unacceptable.
Additionally there is a proposal to build a link road, from the junction of Long Lane and the Tamworth Road, to Prologis. That goes through the Pegasus estate - so that application will be rejected. However the roundabouts on the link road will clearly go to housing on the fields it goes through. We can therefore expect to see housing from Keresley roundabout out to Thompson's Road.
Please could people:
- Attend the September 9th Council House session
- Read the proposed plan carefully
- Contact Councillor Kershaw (firstname.lastname@example.com) and explain why you will not vote for him in May
- Use our contact form for ideas as to how we can fight this.
Pegasus application
The application to build 800 houses between Bennetts and Tamworth Road by Sandpits has gone in. The reference number is OUT/2014/2282 and the direct link is here
The public consultation period ends 4th.September, so please send in your views now.
Here is Corley Parish Council's comment
There is some guidance on how to comment here.
Dan Byles, MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth, has written to 3,500 people in Keresley Village and Ash Green. You can read the letter here
Who to contact
The most important thing is to comment on the application to the Planning Committe, using the above link. But it will be politically useful if you also make your views known to the following:
Ann Lucas, leader of Coventry City Council. Her address is Council House, Earl Street, Coventry CV1 5RR, or by email to email@example.com
David Kershaw - Labour councillor for this ward, up for re-election in May 2015 (for what the Labour group regard as a key seat). Write to him at the Council House, or email email@example.com
Geoffrey Robinson, MP for this constituency. Write to him at House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA, phone 020 7219 4083, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Tell him how you will be voting in May. You can see Geoffrey in the photo below, carrying the banner on the right in 2010. Does he still support us?

Green Belt Fight
We continue to fight this. The latest action was a stall at the Godiva Festival (thanks to Friends of the Earth) where we got 255 signatures on our petition.
We have a strong presence on the web. Here are a few links:

Bennetts Road repair
People have complained about the state of Bennetts Road South, in particular between Watery Lane and Penny Park Lane. The uneven road surface means hazards for cyclists, and if they swerve to avoid them, they are in danger from vehicles speeding past.
We have contacted Colin Knight about this. By phone they have said that there is no money left for this year, but that they will make a temporary repair and fix it properly next year. Your comments are welcome.
AGM and Finance
The AGM was held on 17 June 2014. The Minutes are here (pdf). Note the next Parish Council meeting will be July 22, and then September 9.
At AGM our accounts were presented, examined and approved. As part of this, we need to display the 'Notice of Appointment of Date for the exercise of Elector's Rights' -in other words, how you can see the accounts. This is displayed on the Notice Board, and also here . However, you can more conveniently see the accounts here . Contact us if you have any questions.

Cuba to pay tribute to Eric Hobsbawmtags: Communism, Cuba, Eric Hobsbawm, Marxism, Cuban News Agency
HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 20 (acn) The International Colloquium "Changing history, changing the world" under way at Havana's Juan Marinello Cuban Institute for Cultural Research until Thursday, will be dedicated to British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm.
Hobsbawm (Alexandria, 1917 - London, 2012), considered one of the most important historians at a world level and a key thinker of 20th century history, will be honored by way of an analysis of his intellectual work, by renowned Cuban and foreign researchers.
Sponsored by the Antonio Gramsci Department, the meeting will bring together specialists from Great Britain and Latin America, like Jean Stubbs, Fernando Martinez Heredia, Pedro Pablo Rodriguez, Jorge Ibarra, Maria del Carmen Barcia, Nils Castro and Robin Blackburn, sources of the institute told ACN.

4/5 rDev 0%
Brewed with Pale, Crystal, and Chocolate malts. Hopped with Amarillo and Cascade.
This was a nice, hazy amber beer with little to no head.
Aroma was mostly a Cascade profile. Pine and grapefruit hop aromas blended well.
Taste was sharply bitter, with hop resins prominent. Grapefruit and caramel battled for the rest of the taste.
Mouthfeel was pretty good, a nice solid body with some heft to it. Not too chewy (pun intended).
Drinkability is very good, if you like IPAs. This one was partway between an IPA and an American Black Ale, but closer to a brown IPA.

Improved microstructures based on thin-films of n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and p-type antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) to convert temperature differences in electricity are presented. The microstructures are obtained by thin-film deposition, applying the co-evaporation method to the bismuth/antimony and telluride materials. Measurements demonstrated the superior thermoelectric features of the obtained films when compared with the most recent thermoelectric thin-film deposition. Measurements show that the deposited films present thermoelectric properties comparable to those reported for the same materials in bulk form, as is the case of the materials used in conventional macro-scale Peltier modules. The absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient are in the range 150/250 ??VK-1 and the in-plane electrical resistivity is in the 7-15 ????m range. Measurements for the Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 films also show figures of merit at room temperatures of 0.84 and 0.5, and power factors of 4.87 and 2.81 mWK-2 m-1, respectively. These microstructures are used for the fabrication of thermoelectric microgenerators to supply stand-alone microsystems with power consumption that ranges from cents of ??W to a few mW.

As I wrote in yesterday's baseball column, major league catcher and Andover High graduate Ryan Hanigan appears on his way out of Cincinnati now that the Reds have signed Brayan Pena to back up Devin Mesoraco.
I pointed out that the Red Sox should consider trading for the 33-year-old catcher.
Hanigan and his agent Tom O'Connell are preparing for a trade.
"We've had several conversations with the premise on there's a very, very good chance he'll be traded at some point," O'Connell told The Eagle-Tribune.
Hanigan has a .359 career on-base percentage and is considered an elite defender. The catcher struggled offensively this past season, but he suffered through a sprained wrist and oblique injury.
"Ryan's been rehabbing his wrist (and is) almost 100 percent," O'Connell said. "I anticipate him having strong 2014 season. He dealt with nagging injuries from spring training throughout the (2013) season. But with that said, Ryan is not only a strong offensive option for any club, but he's one of the best defensive catchers in the game."
The Philadelphia 76ers have to be quite pleased with how they did in the 2013 draft, adding two Massachusetts natives, Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel.
Noel (left knee) hasn't played yet and might miss the season. But the Everett resident should make for quite the duo with Hamilton's Carter-Williams, who is the NBA's top rookie so far.
Carter-Williams is averaging 17.3 points per game, 7.4 assists per game and 5.7 rebounds per game through 11 games.
His stats are better than at Syracuse where he averaged 8.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg and 5.2 apg in 66 games over two seasons.
Here is link to a brief video documentary of Carter-Williams:

Local Columnists
Five Ideas
In this section, we present a few of the major issues that have come up in the public discourse in the past week. We end each subject with a quesion to encourage you to consider your own opinions about these issues and how they affect our community. Please take a moment and contribute to the dialogue.
Cities must take lead in immigration issues
Level-headed community leaders are needed to address the difficulties that immigration has brought.
Media, public opened high school debate
Missourian coverage of where to put a new high school helped force a more public discussion.
As war's toll rises, who at home is paying attention?
As local war opponents and a soldier's family search for answers on Iraq, many questions fall on closed ears.
Diplomacy is emerging in North Korea situation
The use of diplomacy instead of military strength in North Korea could lead to better relations.
Distasteful journalism should not be tolerated; residents must stand up for African-Americans
Take some lessons from the recent Missourian article, entitled "The Saga of the Warrens" (Aug. 25) if you want to know how African-Americans are really regarded by some of the Columbia community and MU.
Directionally challenged need an extra set of senses
It's easy to get lost, whether on a winding drive home or along life's many curves. Being a good pathfinder means knowing where you've been and where you're going.
Efforts to reverse stem cell amendment amount to 'insurgency'
Missourians understood the stem cell amendment when it was passed, and efforts to reverse it are undemocratic.
Tons of tolls not needed to fix roads
Better use of tax dollars will fix our roads and bridges, and the politicians know it.
The summertime blues
With all the trouble facing the American middle class, Rose Nolen has trouble finding reasons to smile.
Journalism still vital, new book's authors tell critics
A new book highlights the important role journalism plays in a democracy.
The right to be selfish
A national decline in selfishness has led to a lack of concern for the nation's interests.
Bring us justice, Mr. Mason
Could the old-fashioned resolve of America's most resourceful TV lawyer restore honesty to modern politics? That's a tall order, says Mary Lawrence.
Don't stifle debate with flawed or incomplete science
There is still room for argument on the effects of global warming and secondhand smoke.
Nation building not happening in Afghanistan
Success in Afghanistan requires more than money and troops.
By George, he's a generous guy
Columnist recalls his growing friendship with Columbia resident George Godas, who recently offered 80 acres of land to Columbia Public Schools to build a third comprehensive high school.
Dear Reader: Missourian's new approach is immediate delivery on Web
Liz Heitzman, the Missourian's immediacy editor, describes the newspaper's new approach to delivering news — constant and immediate coverage via the Web site.
Remembering the lessons of Gen. Smedley Butler
Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler railed against the practice of waging wars for profit in his book "War is a Racket." Smedley's lessons can be applied to the current war in Iraq, Bill Wickersham writes.
Diversity: the world's new buzzword
Diversity is a code word for social excellence and progress these days. The aim of the U.S.: Have as diverse a population as possible. The aim of the professions: Get great diversity. And of television programming: Diversify. And of race relations: Get diversity. And religion: Diversity is better. Of schools: We need more diversity. On and on we could go with this objective of diversity.
Parties debate judicial selection process
A proposal to change Missouri's judicial nominee process has parties arguing over issues of partisanship and undue political influence.

Sterling home owners may qualify for help in removing dead trees from their property.
The city of Sterling's Dead Tree Removal program provides financial assistance to residential property owners for the removal of dead and dying elm trees from private property. Qualifying applicants will be reimbursed by the city of Sterling for one-half the cost of each tree removed, up to a maximum of $250 per tree. Property owners will not be reimbursed for sales tax or for any "secondary" work, such as removal and replacement of fences or repair of lawns or other incidental expenses.
Property owners must qualify on income level and they must reside at the address for which assistance is being requested. Commercial properties or rental units are not eligible.
To qualify for the program, homeowners must make a written application to the city's Department of Parks, Library and Recreation before the tree is removed. All trees will be inspected by the City and approval will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Financial assistance is not available for tree trimming or for the removal of healthy trees or stump removal. The program is designed to assist homeowners with the removal of trees which pose a threat of Dutch elm disease to the urban forest or a hazard to the public.
To receive an application and full details about the program, please contact the PLR Department at 421 N. Fourth St., Sterling, 970-522-9700.

Well if yesterday wasn't the most agonizing off-day ever I don't know what was. The Mariners are extremely fun to watch right now and the excitement in the Seattle area (I can't speak for anywhere else) is pretty real. Love it while it lasts, everyone. This might be the season people reminisce about years down the line.
However, this game today might not be so easily won. Chris Sale is putting together a season worthy of Cy Young Award consideration with a 2.30/2.72/2.95* line in 12 starts so far this year. Furthermore, lefties tend to struggle quite a bit against Sale. Over the course of his career, Sale has allowed a .230 wOBA to left-handers (about the equivalent of 2011-2012 Chone Figgins). To say the M's face an uphill challenge with the bats is an understatement.
Fortunately, the M's pitching this year has been good enough to keep them in pretty much any game. Today they send lefty Roenis Elias to the hill. Depending on which Elias shows up today, we could see quite the pitcher's duel today.
Here's some news while you're getting ready for the game:
James Paxton threw 52-pitch bullpen session, said he felt great and will throw two-inning sim game Monday in Seattle.

Demaryius Thomas is expected to play Sunday when the Denver Broncos take on the Baltimore Ravens. Thomas suffered a shoulder injury in Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders, but he was a full participant in practice throughout the week. He was listed as probable on Friday's injury report.
Thomas has had at least seven targets and 82 yards receiving in each of his last three games. He has caught four touchdowns over his last four outings.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should have no fear about keeping Thomas in their starting lineup this week. Every indication suggest that he was not limited at all in practice. Consider him a WR2, with just one game with less than 77 yards receiving since the Broncos' Week 7 bye. He has a good matchup against an uncharacteristically mediocre Ravens defense.
For more fantasy info, head over to the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8:30 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

As January slips into its second half, promises of a final farm bill during the first few weeks of the new year are quickly fading away.
Delays give time for lawmakers to change parts of the bill. Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley is worried farm bill negotiators will strip out a provision that places limits on payments to farmers, even though it appears in both the House and Senate versions of the bill.
Grassley says reconciling the House and Senate versions of the massive agriculture and nutrition package should not involve fresh debate on provisions both houses agree on. In fact, he quotes a�Senate rule�that says matters that are included in both Houses� bills should not be considered for revision by the committee.�Yet Grassley says he is hearing that his amendment to put a hard limit on payments to farmers may be holding up negotiations, even though it appears in both versions of the bill.
Grassley said the dairy title also remains a sticking point of the long-overdue farm bill. Still, he says he remains confident a new five year farm bill will get done.
So, should the Senate seriously consider passing an extension provision, as the House did before the holidays? Grassley said if the Senate does take one up, it would be a short-term extension, not a full year extension like the one passed in�January 2013.
�It will be a shorter extension because there�s been so much progress,� Grassley said, �especially when you look at the progress that�s been made on food stamps. I think that you�re fairly close.�Alas, close may be in the eye of the beholder. Until the law is final, no one who depends on it can make definite plans.

Paddy Chayefsky would have loved it. The satire in Thursday night's season return of the Emmy-winning comedy "30 Rock" skates so disturbingly close to the realm of profit-hungry possibility, it's positively "Network"-worthy.
Chayefsky's classic 1976 feature film script was an insider's skilled satiric takedown of an oh-so-(im)plausible TV network that would do anything for ratings. Put psychics in prime time. Let its newspeople rant insanely. Maybe even kill.
So far as we know, that last hasn't actually happened yet.
In NBC's boldly self-inflicted "30 Rock" skewering, the network's greed involves Jerry Seinfeld guest shots in every one of its series through October. As mad suit Alec Baldwin describes the concept to horrified comedy writer Tina Fey, performances by the network's `90s cash cow have been "digitally captured" to enable, without Seinfeld's participation or consent, computerized guest appearances on "Heroes," "Law & Order: SVU," even "Deal or No Deal." Never mind such innovative reality outings as "Are You Stronger Than a Dog?"
Thanks to the odd bond forged over the first season between level-headed head writer Fey and gonzo/wussy exec Baldwin, she's the one who ends up handling Seinfeld when he marches into NBC's Rockefeller Plaza HQ to thwart the scheme. Jerry has cut short his vacation "in a country only rich people know about," and he's determined to confront Baldwin, even though the exec once saved his life from a shark. (Likely not in the actors' shared hometown of Massapequa, Long Island.)
By the end of the half-hour, Tina's in tears, Alec's in tears and Jerry crashes the fourth wall to speak directly to viewers. The prospect of Al Roker in a bee costume has been brandished. Then there are the running subplots about Fey's wedding dress (no, she's not getting married), her comedy star Jane Krakowski being ordered to "lose 30 pounds or gain 60," Tracey Morgan's maniac comic taking on Jack McBrayer's giggly page as his "office wife," and Morgan's self-involved character's ministry among transvestite prostitutes.
After nabbing last month's much-deserved yet unexpected Emmy as top comedy series, "30 Rock" hits the ground running as if to prove how justified the award was. Thursday's episode, written by Fey and directed by Don Scardino, leaps so quickly into action that we seem to arrive in progress. After a few scant minutes, all the characters have been re-established so well that newbies will know precisely who they are, and the script then tackles the distinctive characteristics of its distinguished guest star.
Best of all, in an era when so many TV comedies lie there limp, waiting for you to figure what could possibly be funny about all this, "30 Rock" moves. It glides, actually, or maybe hops, from crisp scene to crisp scene. No wonder Fey wanted to do this show. After spending six seasons as head writer of "Saturday Night Live," she could not only lampoon what she'd been doing but actually execute its comedic style one better.
No more struggling with bright sketch ideas that would flounder or peter out in search of an ending. The secret here is editing. The comedy of "30 Rock" is so tightly cut, it's fill-free. Quick set-up leads to punchy payoff, and zip we move onward.
TV's workings are now so transparent to backstage-sated viewers that a show like this is hardly an inside joke, either. Certainly the network's recycling inspiration is no surprise. What might be is that NBC, once the Nielsen champ but now a lagging also-ran, has become so desperate for ratings that it will savage itself, with "Network" fury - more good-natured perhaps, but still poisonously pointed.
Paddy, this one's for you.

Your laundry room isn't just the last-resort location for the family cat litter. Organization is key — the more organized your laundry room, perhaps the less you'll loathe spending time there every weekend.
But where to begin on organizing a space you hate using?
To really give your laundry room the deep clean, check our other post on cleaning out your washer and dryer.
1. Make a stray sock basket
It seems like missing socks are relegated to an alternate universe where they'll never return. In hopes that they do turn up, keep a basket for their other halves. They'll be back… some day.
2. Caddy the cleaning supplies
Buy a trendy caddy to store your stain arsenal: cleaning sprays, stain-treating pens, dryer sheets and other laundry accessories. Caddies are portable and they tend to keep all of those funny-shaped bottles in their place.
3. Make use of vertical space
- Save energy while you save space by hanging up a clothesline.
- Use stackable shelves for laundry supplies, extra towels and sheets and other laundry incidentals.
- Try modular storage, shown in the photo above. Most of these storage solutions come prefabricated and work well in most rooms.
4. Designate Dirty Laundry Space
After all, dirty laundry is the sole reason why you have this space. Invest in a laundry hamper designed to help you presort laundry. If there's room, get a table for folding clothes (if there isn't room, get a folding table — get it?) These items will help save time and make your laundry room more functional.
5. Designate Pet Space
Your laundry room is the perfect traffic-free area for your pet's bed, kennel, litter and supplies. If you took advantage of your vertical space as mentioned above, you'll have plenty of space to do this.
6. Sort your seasonal and all-season clothes.
After sorting, get rid of anything you don't need anymore (like a glove without its matching friend or a scarf you haven't worn in years but keep stuffing it into the closet because one day, you might wear it again, except it doesn't match anything you own). Next, contain all those seasonal clothes in either fancy labeled baskets or some kind of tupperware. At least now when you stuff those scarves and gloves into a closet, it'll look organized. It'd be good to keep containers like this in places where your family normally takes them off after coming in doors (like a fancy wooden bowl in the foyer for sunglasses or gloves).

Steven Pearl, BBQ jokes and a Tennessee radio ad
May 21, 2013, 11:09 AM EDT
Around two years ago, Bruce Pearl was fired as the University of Tennessee's head coach stemming from lies that he told NCAA investigators that were looking into relatively minor infractions.
Pearl had hosted Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft at his house for a barbecue during a recruiting visit and a picture of him was taken at Pearl's house. Lying to the NCAA is, quite literally, the worst possible thing that you can do, and it resulted in Pearl getting a show-cause penalty and losing his job at a program that he had built into a consistent winner after years spent in basketball purgatory.
It was a sad story at the time.
But looking back, it's actually kind of funny.
Pearl got fired for taking a picture with a recruit at a barbecue at his house. Think about that.
Clearly, his son, Steven, has. Steven is a former Vols player that now hosts a Saturday radio show in Knoxville. He's enough of a celebrity that Calhoun's BBQ used him to read their radio ads, and, well, there's a bit of genius in it:
"If there's one thing we Pearls know, it's how to throw a barbecue."
"Just remember, my two rules for legendary backyard barbecues … 1) Get your food from Calhoun's and 2) Absolutely no photography."
"Offer not available to Aaron Craft."
(Nice find, EB)

Great Ad! Vol For Life.
- coryfor3 - May 21, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Actually it isn't "quite literally" the worst thing you can do. I love it that people even when claiming to use literally as it actually means still don't use it correctly. That's quite literally one if the most annoying things writers do.
- cranespy - May 21, 2013 at 9:47 PM
I noticed on Bruce's studio work at ESPN with Seth Greenberg that the Pearl obviously has a short fuse….the college game is better off if this hothead stays away. Now Greenberg on the other hand is the best hire ESPN has made in a long time.
- yuckygeo - May 25, 2013 at 5:11 PM
First we get "Lying to the NCAA is, quite literally, the worst possible thing that you can do, and it resulted in Pearl getting a show-cause penalty and losing his job…"
And then we get "Pearl got fired for taking a picture with a recruit at a barbecue at his house."
So which is it? He got fired for lying to the NCAA or taking a picture with a recruit?

Moderate flooding possible in area
Spring flooding is again a concern for area officials.
The National Weather Service in Duluth a week ago issued its flood outlook for the Mississippi River for Aitkin and Fort Ripley, listing a 90 percent chance for moderate flooding there.
The Cass County Sheriff's Department is keeping a close eye on the Crow Wing River, which in 2009 and 2010 flooded its banks because of ice jams.

Well, it's happened again. The relentless wheel of history has rolled into another season, and that's actually a pretty positive thing because every new season is a great reason to look at what you are doing, decide what needs to change, and set some strategic goals that will get you where you want to be.
Look At What You Are Doing
It doesn't matter if we are talking about your job search, your workplace, or the balance between your home and career. Everyone needs to look at what they are currently doing and see the good points along with the bad. Write it down and celebrate what is working for you, even if there are some scary situations you need to deal with soon.
Decide What Needs To Change
Even a small change can make a big difference in how your workday goes, and doing some updates in your LinkedIn profile or resume will be good investments that give profitable returns. Perhaps deciding that each child does one activity at a time will give everyone some margin in their lives. You don't need to change everything (particularly if it's working well) but changing something around is like a breath of fresh air.
Set Some Strategic Goals
Where do you want to be ten years from now? How about next year? Are there steps that can begin to get you there? Many times a career coach can help you figure out which steps will get you there, and what will be a sidetrack you regret. If you are not sure what you need to be doing now in order to reach your goals, get some advice from people who have made it to where you'd like to be. Even if you decide not to take their advice, it gives you a better idea of what is involved.
A change in the season is always fun because it's an excuse to mix it up a little bit, but it also is an excellent reason to revamp your strategies for success.

LinkedIn is one of the most important places to have an online presence because it is currently the top networking site for professionals of many industries. This is where a potential employer will look you up to see if you are a good fit for the job opening and where many people find the connections that bring them a career. It's a very valuable resource and worth taking the time to make sure your LinkedIn profile is complete and contemporary.
If your profile is out of date or incomplete, how is being on this vital networking site doing you any good? In fact, an out of date, incomplete profile will probably be doing your career harm because it reflects badly on you. So make the investment and get that profile in shape because good things will happen as a result.
5 Ways To Start Updating Your LinkedIn Profile
- Turn off the notifications while you are editing. Nobody but you needs to know that you are updating your profile until you are ready to present it in complete perfection. Do you want to know when others are tweaking their stuff? I didn't think so.
- Be very, very picky about your profile pic. There are plenty of professional photographers or good amateurs who can do the job and give you a polished, professional photograph for your polished, professional profile. No selfies can match that.
- Keywords are how the search engine finds you. That means your profile has to use the words you want to be found by. Put those keywords in your headline, your summary, and the various sections in a natural manner.
- Add personal details. You are a unique individual and this is one place you can show that individuality with volunteer work, publications, and more. Look at all the possible additions to your profile and consider them carefully.
- Create a custom URL that is easy to remember; it is an easy process on the right side of the page when you are editing your profile. Keep your name and lose the numbers and look like the professional you are becoming.
LinkedIn Profile Development is an ongoing process because you should be adding to your completed profile regularly as you progress in your career. It's much easier to update a professional profile once you have done the foundation work.

Erin is an internationally renowned certified resume writer specializing in professional and executive level resumes and career services.
Many times, someone will look at the price of having a professional resume writer develop their resume and wonder if it is worth the cost. There's a way to put the cost of a professional resume service into perspective:
How much will it cost you to stay unemployed and searching for a job?
Say you are hoping to find a job that pays $52,000 a year to make this exercise easy. That means your pay before taxes is $1,000 because there are 52 weeks in a year. If you have been looking for a job and nobody is calling you back, your resume usually has a lot to do with that, so your current resume and job search methods have already cost you however many weeks you've been using them.
Now take a look at the prices of the various a la carte services or packages. Look at those prices in terms of the salary you are hoping to earn and the time you have been searching for a job — and think how improving your resume or distribution will improve your chances of finding that job. It may cost you less than one day's worth of future salary to have your current resume critiqued and know how to improve it. It could be less than a week of your future salary to have a professional resume written.
There's no guarantee that you'll get hired with a professionally written resume, but you almost certainly will get called in for an interview, and the rest is up to you. It's costing you quite a bit in lost wages to use an inferior resume that is not getting results.

Criticism is kind of painful, because nobody likes to be wrong. But without constructive criticism we'd all be in a fantasy world assuming everything is fine and wondering why things aren't happening the way we imagined they would. Particularly when it comes to your career, criticism is a valuable tool. But that tool has to be in the hands of somebody who knows how to use it for your benefit.
A Professional Critique of Your Resume/Cover Letter Does 3 Things
- Professional Perspective – A Professional Resume/Cover Letter Critique should be just that: professional. You want someone who is going to look at your cover letter and resume with the same perspective that potential employers, recruiters, and HR people will be looking at them. After all, these are the people who you are hoping to impress with that cover letter and resume, so it makes sense to write them with that goal in mind.
- Experienced Advice – It isn't that helpful to find out what's wrong with your cover letter or resume if you don't know how to fix it. A resume critique from Professional Resume Services includes concrete steps you can take to make improvements and provides insights on why these steps are suggested.
- Immediate Return on Investment — As soon as you get your critique back, it includes a plan of action that you can immediately implement to get your career search back on track. The 3-4 page report catalogs every detail that needs to be improved and how to go about that improvement.
It doesn't cost as much as you'd spend on a big date night, but it is worth every penny. A resume/cover letter critique from Professional Resume Services will give you an understanding of the problems and a way to fix those problems, making this criticism something you'll appreciate getting.

It happens to everybody: You make a mistake about something during your important interview. It my the way you dressed for the occasion and you went too formal or too casual. It might be addressing your interviewer by the wrong name. There are lots of ways a candidate can make a mistake, and it's true that a mistake can possibly cost you the job. It's also true that the way you respond to your own mistakes can be what makes the interview successful and gets you the job.
Mistakes Can Be Opportunities
Everyone makes mistakes, but those who are confident enough to admit their mistake and correct it appropriately are valuable in any workplace. If you walk into the interview without having done anything to hone your interview skills or research the company, then your mistakes will be more like learning opportunities and use the interview as a reminder to be prepared next time. But a mistake by an otherwise qualified candidate is an excellent opportunity to display how you will be on the job.
It's helpful to remember that most interviewers will give you cues for correcting something. If you are not obsessing about being dressed too formally or whatever your mistake was, you can pick up on those cues and correct it. It shows that you are able to see past your discomfort and effectively respond to a problem.
This is a skill that everybody needs. When you get defensive and defeated about making a mistake, it's making that mistake worse because you are amplifying and distorting it instead of seeing that mistake as another reminder that you are human like the rest of us. It's a skill because it has to be learned, and you learn from your mistakes.
If you make a mistake in your interview, that's an opportunity. Learn from it.

Congenital Torticollis
Torticollis, also known as "wryneck," is a condition in which your baby's head is tilted. One of your newborn's neck muscles is shortened. So the chin points to one shoulder, away from the shortened neck muscle. And the back of the head tilts toward the opposite shoulder.

vacation rental description
Tucked into a hillside immediately above the bay and set among flowering and fruit trees this spacious ocean view island villa has just been elegantly remodeled and comprehensively renovated to provide an elegant and private retreat for its guests. Not surprising, Frangipani-Villa is the choice of discerning clients. This villa features a spacious, open floor plan, covered patio, sun deck, and ocean view bedrooms. There are sweeping vistas across Hillsborough Bay to the uninhabited out-islands and unparalleled sunsets. A private plunge pool adjoining the main living area make this the perfect indoor/outdoor base from which to enjoy Carriacou and explore the surrounding islands.
The driveway comes directly to the main house entrance, making this villa particularly suitable for elderly or handicapped guests. A side gate through the gardens leads to a track through the trees to Tom's Bay or use the main gate for a similar stroll to the near-deserted half mile beach at Sparrow Bay.
Carriacou is the most southerly of the Grenadines, situated 20 miles north of Grenada, latitude 12.5 degrees. It has an area of 13 square miles and is the largest of the chain of islands between Grenada and St. Vincent. The first settlers, the Amerindians appropriately referred to Carriacou as the 'Land of Reefs'. Carriacou is one of the 3 islands that makes up the tri-island Nation of Grenada. (The 3 islands are Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique).
History: Carriacou was settled by the French, though in 1763 was ceded with Grenada to the British. The majority of the inhabitants today are of African descent, with the influence in the island mainly British, such as driving on the left, though French names are still noticed, especially in the L'Esterre area. The village of Windward is home to the descendant of a group of Scottish boat builders who settled here in the 19th century. The Scottish names and boat building skills have been passed down through the generations.
Many locally built boats from small fishing sloops to large trading schooners are seen in the Carriacou waters.
Culture: Carriacou is rich in cultural history and has as part of its legacy the Big Drum and Quadrille dances. Before the arrival of Europeans, Grenada was inhabited by Carib Indians who had driven the more peaceful Arawaks from the island. Columbus landed on Grenada in 1498 during his third voyage to the new world. He named the island 'Concepcion.' The origin of the name 'Grenada' is obscure but it is likely that Spanish sailors renamed the island for the city of Granada. By the beginning of the 18th century, the name 'Grenada,' or 'la Grenade' in French, was in common use. Partly because of the Carib Indians, Grenada remained uncolonized for more than 100 years after its discovery; early English efforts to settle the island were unsuccessful. In 1650, a French company founded by Cardinal Richelieu purchased Grenada from the English and established a small settlement.
After several skirmishes with the Caribs, the French brought in reinforcements from Martinique and defeated the Caribs, the last of whom leaped into the sea rather than surrender. The island remained under French control until its capture by the British in 1762, during the Seven Years' War. Grenada was formally ceded to Great Britain in 1763 by the Treaty of Paris. Although the French regained control in 1779, the island was restored to Britain in 1783 by the Treaty of Versailles.
Although Britain was hard pressed to overcome a pro-French revolt in 1795, Grenada remained British for the remainder of the colonial period. During the 18th century, Grenada's economy underwent an important transition. Like much of the rest of the West Indies, it was originally settled to cultivate sugar, which was grown on estates using slave labor.
Agriculture: In 1782, Sir Joseph Banks, the botanical adviser to King George III, introduced nutmeg to Grenada.

Dog Freaks Out And Eats Everything in Sight
This is what I came home to last night. My rescued dog Sophie apparently got hungry or didn't like that I left her in charge of guarding the dog food.

This is your last chance to get into the 2013 edition of the Tails of Two Cities day planner. When you sponsor a page in the day planner you get to choose the photo used for the page. Use a family photo or a cute picture of your pets. Your support of the Texarkana Animal League's programs are a much needed service to our local community.
Akayla is approximately one year old. She is a Basset Hound/Lab mix. Beautiful and super sweet. Walks fairly good on a leash.
Akayla is very lovable. She is super soft. She would make a great family dog and is good with kids. She gets along with other dogs too.
Please attend Jefferson Park on Saturday, June 23, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. to participate in the Bark For Your Park video to show the massive community support that Texarkana has in the quest to get a dog park.
Friday, June 22, 2012 is Take Your Dog To Work Day.

Mini-Experiment: Using Vibrations to Intensify Your Workout
Posted Dec 20 2008 7:17pm
I have a disgusting confession to make. I went 54 hours without a shower. But wait, it gets worse - I did five workouts during that time period. So in addition to leg stubble that could cut a brotha and armpit hair that would have made me the envy of the Lillith Fair, I had the stank of five sweaty workouts slicked and then dried onto my skin. Normally I'm not this hygiene challenged but circumstances and a packed workout schedule (
concerns about over exercising duly noted
) produced a confluence of nastiness hitherto unprecedented. Which is how I came to be introducing myself thusly:
Man at Power Plate Gym: Hi, I'm James and I'll be your personal trainer today!
Me: Hi, I'm Charlotte from The Great Fitness Experiment and I stink!
James: Oh, well, um, really? I can't smell you.
Me: And you seem too nice to tell me if you did. But seriously, I reek. So, I'll just apologize in advance.
James: Ah, okay. No worries. We always wipe down the equipment after each client.
After that inauspicious beginning, I began my first workout on the Power Plate, a large-ish machine with handles and a rubber padded platform that you stand on. It's all very beam-me-up-Scotty minus the pointy ears. So I did my best William Shatner and stood confidently on the machine. Well, as confident as I could be standing on a very big, very expensive piece of equipment that I had absolutely no idea what to do with.
James stepped in to rescue me from myself. After pointing out all the buttons on the Power Plate and saying
a lot of science-y things
about megahertz and g-forces and actually using the formula Force = mass X acceleration properly in a sentence, he got to the point. "What makes the Power Plate unique is the vibrating platform. The vibrations engage 30% more muscle fibers."
I tried to nod but by that point the machine was quietly humming while I held a static 90-degree squat. Normally I can talk during a squat (heck, normally not much can stop me from talking as the Gym Buddies will attest) but the vibrations went from my toes to my head, causing a not unpleasant tingly feeling. The best I could manage without my teeth chattering was a "hummmooooooowwwwwaaaaa" that sounded exactly like when you talk into an oscillating fan. Which of course made me giggle. Which made me notice that even my cheeks were vibrating. Which made me giggle even harder.
James was a very good sport through all of this, pausing to let me say silly things like "Luke, I am your faaaattthhhhhaaaaaa" and even laughing good naturedly despite the fact that I'm sure I'm not his first client to pull such shenanigans. He patientely explained that the thing that makes the Power Plate unique among fitness gadgetry is that due to the vibrations you "feel like you are working less but your muscles are actually working harder."
"So you perceive your exertion to be less but you are really getting a better workout?"
"Yes, and in a shorter amount of time." The typical Power Plate workout lasts about 30 minutes.
More for less. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the holy grail of exercisers everywhere. But the question was, would the Power Plate deliver on that promise or would it end up like those vibrating exercisers of yore?
James led me through an entire workout focusing mainly on lower body and core. I did squats, weighted lunges, rows, bridges and even a plank all while vibrating at approximately 35 times a second. Other than making my fatty bits jiggle embarrassingly, it felt a lot like a traditional body-weight workout. It was hard to compare my rate of perceived exertion due to the fact that I was so entranced by the vibrating that I kept forgetting to focus on my body but I'm pretty sure I didn't work out as hard as I normally would have. It's also hard to measure something like "30% more muscle activation" but I did feel like I was using muscles to stabilize myself that rarely got used.
At one point James instructed, "Stop moving your foot."
"I'm not," I answered, trying to keep my teeth from knocking together.
"You are," he replied, pointing at my toes.
I looked down. Sure enough my foot was dancing around all of its own accord. How embarrassing. I tried to put a stop to it but I couldn't really feel it moving, leaving me with the dilemma of launching into a full-on softshoe or using my other foot to hold it down. Thankfully the machine stopped vibrating saving me from what could only end in further giggling.
James then instructed me to drink water telling me that the vibrations would cause a lympatic "cleansing." I had no idea that the lymph system could "cleanse" or what that would mean (more peeing?) but apparently you helped the process along by drinking lots of water.
"So how do you feel?" he asked solicitously when I was all done getting smellier.
The owner of the studio interjected, "You might not feel sore tomorrow; we always go pretty conservative on the first workout."
But the thing was, I
starting to feel a little tight in my legs which from previous experience usually indicates that I will be sore the next day. In addition, I sweated (swote? swotted?) plenty so I know I was working something.
My Conclusions
Does the Power Plate provide a more intense workout than traditional weight training exercises? Perhaps, but I think you could achieve the same level of exertion without the fancy machinery, it might just take you longer. The real selling point for me about the workout was not that it offered the fitness equivalent of a proceed-directly-to-go-and-collect-200$ card but rather all the attention that came with it. Every time you use the thing, you get a personal trainer. The monthly fee was about what you'd pay for a membership at a nicer gym but when you consider that you are getting a personal training session every time you go in (and they do have other equipment like cardio machines to round out your workout), then the fee becomes a screaming deal.
So my recommendation is that if you have a Power Plate in your gym already, it's definitely worth checking out. It was one of the most unique workouts I've ever tried and definitely ranked high on the entertainment factor. Also, if you are interested in hiring a personal trainer long term then a gym like
Fit U
is a great deal. (Thanks to Dennis for the tip! And to Candice, Keith and James for the great experience!)

Listening to Sports Talk radio in Arkansas right now is very tough. A lot of fans like to listen for the inputs from the hosts and former players that are on the radio. Some fans even call in to interact with the hosts and ask questions or answer questions.With every loss the negativity grows worse and worse. Its ok to be upset at losing. Some folks though are taking things way too far by calling for the coaches head after just 9 games. Most coaches don't walk into a new program and win right away. It didn't matter what coach walked into Arkansas, they would not have won that many games this year with this team as it has been assembled. Coach Bielema has been partially handicapped due to two straight up in the air recruiting classes. When Jeff Long was forced yes forced to fire Bobby Petrino and then brought back John L Smith on a 10 month contract there was uncertainty on the hill. Recruits that weren't sold on being a Hog no matter what didn't want to have anything with Arkansas because they had no idea who would be coach or what system they would run. Then during the season the team quit and the bottom fell out. John L Smith was fired as expected and finally in mid December of last year Bielema was named Head Coach. His staff only had about a month to put together some time of recruiting class to run the style they want to run at Arkansas. He did a pretty good job of gathering a few good players. Alex Collins, Dan Skipper, and Denver Kirkland were some highlights so far of the class and were last minute pick ups. With a full season of recruiting there is no doubt that the Hogs will get the players they need to be successful in the near future.
Fans need to forget what has happened and focus on where this team is going. Petrino hurt the Hogs pretty bad on defense. John L Smith hurt the Hogs in general. Bielema will get this team to where its competitive and hunting for championships. It may not be next year but very soon. Fans need to also forget about Gus. No matter how you feel about him he would not be doing any better at Arkansas. He is doing well at Auburn right now because he recruited most of those players and was only gone from the program for one year. Fans will have to do something that is pretty much non existent in society these days. That is to be patient. Patience is a virtue and good things come to those that wait.
