Rallying the Troops: the Staff Plan for #GivingTuesday
Filed under: Events • Fun stuff • Giving Days •
Make #GivingTuesday an event for your team, and a win for those you serve.
In less than 2 weeks it will be December 2nd, and #GivingTuesday will be here. Whether you've planned for months or just for a week or two, there's one more thing you can do to make it a great day for your nonprofit.
Organizations large and small can put their campaigns over the top on #GivingTuesday by creating a "day of generosity" that involves your staff, board, and volunteers. Plan a day of hard-working fun that involves your team in outreach and celebration as you hit milestones toward your goal.
The recommendations below are targeted at a mid-sized organization, so scale the plan for your day up or down to fit your organization's capacity.
Make it a party!
Set up a #Givingtuesday 'war room' so the team is all together in one place. There will be hard work to do and a party atmosphere will make a long day more fun.
Consider these suggestions to elevate the excitement and spur the efforts of your staff and volunteers:
Provide special t-shirts, wristbands, hats or other swag if you have it. If you don't, consider asking each team member to wear something in the colors of your organization's logo to create that spirit of a team.
Have food throughout the day.
Have a first gift ceremony, where the team members contribute whatever they can to the campaign and put that total on the board as the "founders" gifts for the campaign.
Take an UNselfie of each team member and one of the whole team together and post on social media.
Have a visible tally board so everyone can see when you are getting close to key milestones
Covering the day
Your #GivingTuesday staff plan should cover a time period from about 8am to 10pm. The busiest donation periods are likely to be from 9am to 3pm and 7pm to 10pm, and these are the windows when you'll want the most coverage.
Suggested staff roles
Leader Appoint a leader so campaign staff have a single point of contact for questions throughout the day. The leader should have a list of contact information for all staff and partners (include cell phone numbers and email addresses). He or she should be ready to address technology issues should there be problems with your online giving site. Have the phone number of your software provider handy in the event there is an issue. He or she may also be assigned as designated representative to talk with the media if there is press interest in your campaign. The leader (or a designee) should be ready with talking points highlighting the key aspects of the campaign.
Thank key partners and sponsors
Alert the community to Day-of challenges and contests (especially if they change hourly)
Inspire the community with Day-of rewards or incentives
Ask the community to GIVE and SHARE
Mention the Campaign Hashtag and URL
Phone outreach team
Your phones can be the most powerful weapon on #GivingTuesday. You can organize an actual phone-a-thon of sorts, reaching out to supporters to thank them for past generosity and invite them to join your #GivingTuesday campaign. At a minimum, you should reach out to board members, key friends of your organization, and active volunteers to enlist their participation as givers or sharers.
Donor support
Assign one or more people to be available to answer questions from donors should they arise.
Social outreach staff
The social team will be the ambassadors of excitement for the campaign. They will focus on:
· Building excitement by posting content to social media channels.
Engaging with followers, fans, tweets.
Promoting key milestone content such as Goal Updates, Prize winners, media coverage.
Alerting other staff to any social postings related to issues or questions.
Forwarding any social postings from the media to the team leader.
Volunteer Event coordinator
If your nonprofit is hosting a hands-on service event for #GivingTuesday, the volunteer service coordinator should be part of the war room team. Ask them to provide photos, quotes, and results from the volunteer activity that can be shared with potential supporters online and in email.
Work hard, have fun, focus on your goals, and it will be a great #GivingTuesday!

How Did You Handle…? 3 Examples of Change Ups for 2014 Year-End Campaigns
Filed under: Giving Days • How to improve emails and newsletters • Marketing essentials •
This post is the first in our new How Did You Handle…? Series—specific how-tos based on YOUR experiences.Please watch for our requests to share your wins, challenges and recommendations. YOU are the best trainers there are!
Year-End fundraising tops most organizations' "must do, every year" list, but it's challenging both to figure out how to do it differently but better and to get approval for a fresh approach for a campaign that's so vital.
But case studies from colleague organizations commonly work as a calming balm for anxious decision-makers afraid to deviate from the norm (even when that norm isn't working so well). Here's what some of your peers are trying this year, with early results where available:
1. Change Up: Revising campaign tone and content—to be more direct, frank and engaging. For example, we're showing results of donor generosity (rather than talking about them) and sharing organizational changes in progress as a result of grant guidelines.
Goal: We're hoping to open up an active conversation with donors and prospects by inviting them into our organization! Our goal is to have these folks contact us with questions or suggestions.
Results to Date: Many donors have already contacted me to share appreciation for the more friendly and inclusive messaging. Several of them requested permission to share content from our year-end newsletter in their own communities (thus increasing our reach).
Others got in touch to share ideas or offer their assistance to tackle some of our organization's concerns. That's exactly the kind of response we're looking for—stronger, closer relationships!
Source: Todd McPherson, Inter-Faith Community Services
2. Change Up: Participating in #GivingTuesday for the first time plus, beefing up our online and monthly giving options.
Goal: I (the Executive Director) introduced these changes to my board. I became aware of #GivingTuesday last year at the last moment, so investigated and proposed to our board that we make an effort this year to use this to kick off our December campaign this year.
I also hoped to motivate other charities in the area to participate in #GivingTuesday, so we'd all get more attention.
Results to Date: I'm still trying to persuade other local charities to participate in #GivingTuesday with us but have not been able to get them to understand the significance. We have decided to lead by example and hope they join us next year.
TBD on the campaign itself.
Source: Bob Stephenson, Executive Director The Literacy Coalition
3. Change Up: Personalizing our year-end content (and segmenting our list accordingly)
We'll feature the story of one of our beneficiaries in the same state as the donor or prospect receiving the direct mail letter, to strengthen the connection between that donor/prospect and our impact.
Goal: We have read that relevancy/segmentation will increase the number and dollar value of gifts.
NOTE from Nancy: Personalization/segmentation is powerful when you can connect with what's top of mind for your prospect or donor. If you can discuss state specific challenges likely to be known of and/or experienced by your prospects and your featured beneficiary, that's golden!
Results to Date: Drops the first week of December!

What are YOU changing in this year's year-end campaign? Please share your new approach with us!
With refreshing practicality, Nancy Schwartz rolls up her sleeves to help nonprofits develop and implement strategies to build strong relationships that inspire key supporters to action.

7 Steps to Social Success on #GivingTuesday
Filed under:
Your #GivingTuesday campaign will depend on SHARING.
Sharing can happen through many channels: email, in person events, volunteer activities, and phone outreach. But today we are focusing on social media sharing.
#GivingTuesday is an inherently social event – a big, exciting, international party for generosity – and you're invited! Now is the time to take a look at each of your social channels and get them ready for #GivingTuesday.
7 steps you can get done today:
1. Brand your channels. If you have created special visuals for your #GivingTuesday campaign, be sure that the images are used as backgrounds or cover photos for your various social channels.
2. Engage social followers. Begin to communicate regularly with your social followers with #GivingTuesday focused posts. Posts with images perform better, so either post with your own campaign images, or tap into the rich resources at the national #GivingTuesday campaign.
3. Provide ready resources. Provide cut-and-paste posts, tweets and images to your board, staff, clients and volunteers so they can amplify your messages and build excitement through their channels. Their personal sharing is the most effective way to reach new and lapsed supporters.
4. Get people involved with #UNSelfies. Ask supporters to post a "unselfie" naming your organization. You can print out the template here and other #GivingTuesday graphic resources here.
5. Plan for the big day. Improve your chances of driving social sharing by creating a simple communication plan for Monday, December 1st and #GivingTuesday, December 2nd. At a minimum, we recommend:
· A plan to arm ambassadors with pre-prepared posts, Tweets and visuals on Monday and hourly on #GivingTuesday.
· On #GivingTuesday, send at least one email (a second email could be sent after you reach your goal). Share updates on social channels as you reach key milestones, such as 30%, 60%, 80%, 90%, and 100% of goal.
· Plan 2-3 Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram posts throughout the day, and 8-10 Twitter posts.
· Prepare thermometers and other visual elements in advance so you will have them ready to share.
6. Activate volunteers. If you are having a volunteer event, be sure to take ask participants to tweet and post pictures from the activity and a link to your donation page. In addition to a volunteer service day, phone-a-thons and tweet-a-thons are popular ways to incorporate volunteers into your #GivingTuesday.
7. Thank and celebrate. Thanks, appreciation and celebration go a long way on a big day like #GivingTuesday. Thank those who donate, volunteer, and spread the word for you throughout the day with shoutouts that tag supporters. (Please be careful not to name a supporter that has asked to remain anonymous.)
BONUS: Grab a copy of our sample social media messages for #GivingTuesday. You can use these to update your followers leading up to and during your campaign.

4 Rules for Images that Inspire Action
Filed under: Fundraising essentials •
PhotoPhilanthropy is an amazing organization that brings together photographers and nonprofits to tell stories that drive action for social change. They believe in the power of images to inspire action. The folks at PhotoPhilanthropy are seeking entries for their Activist Awards, which honor outstanding work by photographers in collaboration with nonprofit organizations worldwide. Are you working with a photographer that deserves recognition? Encourage them to enter. Submissions are now open through December 3, 2014.
Wondering where to begin when it comes to using social documentary photography to tell the story of your mission? PhotoPhilanthropy's Nathan Dalton shared these tips for nonprofits on how to use photographs to make an impact:
1. Use powerful, high-quality images.
What we see has a profound effect on what we do, how we feel, and who we are. The images your organization chooses must not only have solid composition and be artistically strong, but they should also be informative and educational to provoke the interest of your audience.
Photographs have the power to elicit emotions and evoke empathy by letting us in to another person's experience.
This is a photograph by Adam Nadel of an African woman grieving the loss of her child to malaria.
We are drawn in by the beauty of this image, but the photographer has also captured something else much more elusive: an intimacy with her grief that transcends culture and nurtures compassion.
American documentary photographer Stephen Wilkes believes that a still image can "burn" into our minds and that "things (don't) stay with us unless we have the image."
In his own work, he talks about a subtext beneath his photographs: "The power of what's underneath is much greater than what's on the surface…. I want you to go underneath what I'm showing you, but the only way I can get there is to draw you in with beauty."
2. Edit for impact.
Beautiful images are essential, but they can't stand alone. It is crucial to edit your visual story for impact.
Effective curating and editing turns compelling images into powerful narrative vignettes. A well-curated and edited photo story has the potential to expand a viewer's field of vision and to create meaningful and sustained impact.
Photo essays should focus on a central theme, such as we see here in select images from Inge Kathleen's Activist Award winning photo essay, "90 Days" about a family of Burmese refugees who have just arrived in the United States.
Only include photos that are relevant to and strengthen the theme. Create a dynamic sequence of images that take into account context, order, variety and range. It may follow an individual or activity over a period of time.
3. Make it Human.
Like the previous photo by Adam Nadel, select images that elicit an empathic response in your audience.
Avoid negative campaigning. People are more likely to be moved to act by images that offer hope for positive change, rather than images designed to shock, shame, or guilt them into support.
Jerry Sternin of Save the Children says to "look for 'bright spots' already happening in your community—find out what is getting supporters actively engaged with the cause that you serve. Then, build your campaign around that."
4. Move beyond illustration.
Compelling imagery is not always enough. Images, like a quote, need context to be understood or the audience may not comprehend the story behind the image. Audiences should not have to dig for the story. Select your text carefully as they affect the meaning and interpretation of your story.

3 Steps to a Powerful, All-Organization Team of Messengers [Part Two]
Filed under:
Be sure to check out part one of this two-part series on messaging.
3 Steps to a Team of Powerful Messengers
Training your staff, leadership, clients partners and supporters is a high-impact, low-investment marketing strategy for every nonprofit, but one that's frequently overlooked. It's the ultimate low-hanging fruit for nonprofits like yours.
Take these three steps to launch your team of messengers:
Step One: Build Buy-In and Ask for Help
Ensure that your message platform is clear and relevant. You may have been using these messages for a few years, or they could be new.
If you've done it right, you've sourced the insights of your colleagues and leadership in developing these messages. Along the way, you've nurtured their understanding of and buy-in to the process.
Secure leadership buy-in by sharing the value of an all-org message team (and what happens without one).
Position the message team as a program, not a one-off; as a way of doing business, not a Band-Aid.
If you or your bosses see training as one-time or finite, results will be equally limited (but that may be how you need to start). Be aware that this strategy is likely to be perceived as a significant cultural shift—and it is, since it tears down formal or unspoken silos with your organization—and the complete transition may take some time.
Open the conversation by sharing your vision, and then emphasize these immediate benefits and longer-term gains:
Benefit: Greater accuracy and consistency of messages conveyed in conversations and communications across audiences and programs.
Gain: Clearer, quicker connections with more of your target audiences.
Gain: Increased likelihood of motivating the actions you need.
Benefit: Improved understanding of goals and priorities across the organization.
Benefit: Enhanced ability to harvest and share relevant information and feedback with the right colleagues across the organization—on programs, audience preferences and values, and more.
Gain: Stronger programs and processes via acquisition of broader and deeper audience insights and cross-department collaboration.
Benefit: A more highly skilled group of staff and board members.
Gain: Greater employee and board satisfaction.
Gently introduce the concept to your colleagues.
It's always best to start dripping out an idea like this in casual hallway or drop-in conversations (or the virtual equivalent). You'll learn what resonates with your colleagues and what doesn't, and you can fine-tune before rolling out the program more broadly.
Recruit your message team. Email your colleagues to:
- Ask for their help (attention, time, and effort) in strengthening conversations and communications.
- Outline their potential impact as organizational messengers.
- Calm their qualms by sharing your realistic expectations about how much extra time and effort this will take. Note: In most cases, your colleagues are already having the conversations; becoming a skilled messenger will help them do so more confidently, quickly, and effectively.
- Build interest (WIIFM—what's in it for me?—or how becoming an effective messenger will help them) and confidence (with a brief overview of how you'll help them prepare via training, practice, and feedback).
Include the message platform along with some context on why and when the messages were developed, how they connect with each target audience, and how they differentiate your nonprofit from organizations competing for attention and action.
Also, share a brief one-page summary of your overall marketing strategy that shows at a glance how messaging fits in. It's hard to be an effective messenger without an understanding of the larger framework.
Post these docs in your organization's online workspace for ongoing reference.
Step Two: Build Messenger Skills
Lead skill building for your message team. Invite your message team to join you for an in-person messenger training focused on training, practice, and feedback.
Begin with a review of the message platform—its purpose and value, and when and how you developed it.
Next, inspire your messengers with specific examples of how their new skills will help them (for example, next time you're at a conference and are asked what you do, here's what you'll say and how it'll make a difference). Provide concrete models of how this approach is working in colleague organizations (tap into your peers in colleague organizations here).
Then, train your messengers in speaking (when and how to deliver each type of message), from the unchanging tagline to the elevator pitch that's customized to the interests of the conversational partner.
Ask your messengers to listen hard—that's the first step to being an effective messenger—and to share what they hear with the right colleagues throughout your organization.
Role-playing in pairs is a proven technique for increasing comfort level and effectiveness. Practice makes almost perfect here. Ask a pair or two to roll it out in front of the larger group to get your messengers listening and to generate useful feedback.
Note: If your team is geographically dispersed, hold a video training session. This approach works best when facilitation responsibilities are distributed among participants at the various locations rather than coming from a single location.
Create a turnkey message toolkit that your team can reference, including:
- Message platform.
- One-page organizational fundraising and marketing strategy.
- Message cheat sheet—email to messengers' smartphones, or index cards for non-smartphone-users—with the message platform and when, how, and why to use each element.
- Messenger hotline and online FAQs for ongoing questions and guidance.
- Monthly email outreach sharing success stories and tips to keep your message team focused and confident.
- Style guide featuring standards of how to present your organization's messages and graphics.
Step Three: Thank, Share Successes, and Provide Ongoing Support
Nourish the ongoing message focus within your organization. This includes thanking your messengers for their focus, effort, and achievements and showing how their work has made a difference for the organization. This trifold recognition approach works well:
- Trumpet successes with specifics in one-to-one and all-team communications.
- Recognize star messengers.
- Recognize the entire team in an annual celebration.
Keep the message team going and growing with ongoing communications. Continue training on at least an annual basis. There's turnover to consider, and a regular refresher course powers focus and skills.
I urge you to get your all-org message team off the ground now to gain the immediate benefits and longer-term gains outlined above. They far exceed the time and effort you'll invest—great ROI guaranteed.
Let me know how it goes!

|Brunfelsia americana
Family: Solanaceae
Lady of the night
Origin: Brazil
Fast-growing, has creamy white flowers with long tubes, which are extremely fragrant after dark. In some places it is known as Lady of the Night, though a number of other scented plants have also been given this name. It is a specimen plant. Perfect houseplant for a bright window. All parts of a plant are toxic, especially roots and fruits, to a lesser degree leaves.
Name:Donna J. Ruppitz
I purchased some (44 ) dollars worth of seeds for this plant . NOt a single one has germinated as of today..I called you and spoke with someone who told me to try again. I have tried every method to germinate these seeds. Pleas e-mail me to let me know about a refund or store credit. Please don't send these seeds to anyone else/. No wonder you dont offer seeds anymore. PLease let me know how you will accomodate my request.
|I should have read the above comment. I also ordered these seeds but not a single one germinated. Only one of the B. nitida seeds germinated. Also not one of the B. gigantea seeds germinated as well.
Location:Setubal Portugal
|Last year while visiting in Floria I purchased some brunfelsia americana seeds from you but infortunately not a single one has germinated. Had I read the previous comments I wouldn't have ordered any of these seeds from Top Tropicals.
Name:Steve Habib
Location:St. Petersburg, Florida
I have several night Jasmine in my yard and a neighbor told me my plants were actually the lady of the night species. I felt he was wrong and set out to discover if the two were the same plant with different names. My neighbor was incorrect.
The lady of the night is a different plant than the night jasmine. The commonality is that both bloom at nightfall emitting intoxicating perfume into the night air.The lady of the night in my opinion, has a smell of cloves and cinnamon.Very nice. The plant is Thin and frail and not all that attractive.
But the aroma is worth it's weight in gold. Because I live in Central Florida I am able to grow the lady of the night in my very own backyard. What a deal!!!
Name:Carol Liddell
|Seriously folks, after reading other gardeners sad experiences with Brunfelsia seeds, I felt compelled to tell you what I learnt the hard way; that most tropical seeds should be sown ASAP;you can't let them sit around in the packages as you would more temperate region seed. I have grown Brunfelsia from seed,& my best results were with seeds I harvested from fresh Brunfelsia fruit; I cleaned,& dried the seeds,then planted them(after an overnight soak in a lukewarm kelp/water solution(NOT chlorinated tapwater;try distilled, filtered, spring or wellwater- This is optional,but seems to help).Gibberellic acids supposedly help older seeds sprout,haven't tried it yet.
Location:Kissimmee, FL , USA
|I brought my plants as 3 inch bare roots from Puerto Rico. One planted they were slow to grow, but once they got started it was like magic. Brunfelsia spreeds by subterranian runners, we have been digging out new plants for over 5 years. They seem to do better in sunny location and have survived temperatures to 30 degrees with a blanket over the plants. They may drop some leaves but come back stronger once the cold is over.
Location:bradenton fl usa
i bought a plant and it is now about 18 incles tall but it is only one stem and no signs of another branch coming out from main truck,very disappointed . no help from top tropical
anyone with any ideas would be appreicalted

On Wrestlereunion: "It's just a great atmosphere. It's almost like a family reunion, you know, there's all this memorabilia stuff and stuff that comes out of the archives and you go 'Wow!'. You remember it from your childhood. It's an amazing thing to come to, you'll see all your favorite old timers, and some new guys, and it's just a great thing."
Interacting with wrestling fans: "It really was strange for me at the beginning. I mean, I've not always been a babyface, let's put it that way. I was brought up in the old school way where you don't mix. But I know that it's moved on and it's changed, and it's good to see. I mean, I've seen loads of little kids, and last night this little kid came up to me and he was shaking and he had one of those wrestling figures of me, and he's shaking. These people are seeing TV stars really, when you think about it. It's a great thing to see that we can, as athletes, professional wrestlers, performers, superstars..whatever you want to tag us as...that you can have a relationship with the fans who come to watch you, and you can actually pat them on the back and say 'thank you' as well. The fans do as much for me, as I do for them."
Has social media damaged the mystique of the wrestler: "To a degree, I think it has. I think it's got too close and too mixed between the wrestlers and the fans, everyone getting to know each other too much. All this Facebook and all that stuff. It has taken away, sort ofe like the magician revealing the secrets type of thing, and the magic isn't as magic as it was."
Violent fans back in the old days: "I was Irish wrestling in England during that time, so you can imagine what that was like. I've been hit over the head with beer mugs, I've been stabbed, I've had cigarettes and cigars stubbed out on my back, things dropped on my car, I've had three or four people at a time jumping in the ring to try and fight me..it was wild. Particularly in England, it happened in Germany too, but England was the worst place for me, you know, being Irish. They didn't like the Irish back then. Which was good for me, and I made the most of it."
Memories of "World of Sport": "It really was something that every family did. At 4 O'Clock in the afternoons on Saturdays, everybody sat around the television and watched World of Sport wrestling. It was on for, I think, an hour. There was a lot of characters, a lot of great wrestling talent around at that time, and it was a place to learn for other wrestlers too. You know, Japanese wrestlers would come through, American wrestlers...it was a training ground for so many wrestlers and big stars around the world."
Working as an amateur teacher at his local high school: "I grew up around wrestling, I'm third generation and my father runs amateur wrestling in Ireland, so I was always around amateur wrestling and I've done it all my life. I was national champion, multi-time Irish amateur champion, and the guys I wrestled with were sort of proud to be around me and always followed my career afterwards and stuff. So I never had that. Once you know the guys, you're friends for life."
His son entering the business: "He's a senior and this is his last year, and he's hoping to win State Title this year before he leaves school. I intend to send him to Japan, hopefully if I can make a deal with NJPW, then I'm going to send him out there for six months to a year. I'm going to get him to travel the world like I did, and I'll send him over to my dad as well, send him over to Ireland for a bit. My dad's 75 now but he can still drag him around the place."
Fans criticism of WWE Divas: "I do think it's unfair. I've had a great relationship with all the girls, we've trusted each other and I taught them quite a bit, and it was a real privilege for me to work with those girls and see them grow. But they're under a microscope, you know, and it's easy for anyone to sit at home and criticize. You can't look back at Moolah and all those other people and compare them. Wrestling has changed, it's different and it's...

My daughter turned 3 in february and i enrolled her for 2 days a week in Benedictine. The classes are very small which I like a lot and the teachers are so wonderful. My daughter was very shy and scared initially but i feel because of the caring teachers and the individualized attention given my daughter warmed up so well. My daughter loves her school.

2012 Hyundai Velostar Spied - Spy Shots
Hot hatch set to challenge Golf GTI.
By February 16, 2010 / Photos by Brenda Priddy & Company
Based on a concept first seen at the 2007 Seoul Auto Show, the 2012 Hyundai Velostar has been caught in winter testing. Beneath the camouflage, there's a 4-place hatchback that looks 70 to 80 percent like the show car, says John Krafcik, president and CEO of U.S. unit.
While he characterized the vehicle as a "4-passenger CR-X" or perhaps a 4-seat competitor to the upcoming 2011 Honda CR-Z, the vehicle strikes us more as a rival to the in 2-door trim. The vehicle rides on Hyundai's front-drive platform used for the Accent and Elantra, which puts it in about the same class at the Golf-based VW. Power will come from either a direct-injected 1.6-liter inline-4 or the 2.0-liter version of Hyundai's new Theta II GDI engine, both of which could be offered with a turbocharger. The base model would make around 140 bhp, while the more direct GTI competitor will be in the 180- to 190-bhp range.
The 2012 Hyundai Velostar will likely be launched in early 2011.

The Internet giant faces yet another tussle with European officials, who want Google to split off its search business.
Microsoft and CNET's The 404 Show are teaming up to give one lucky winner the Call of Duty Advanced Warfare 1TB bundle! Enter for your chance to win* now!
A resolution calls on Europe's competition regulators to consider "unbundling" Google's other commercial services from its search business. The vote sends a signal -- but it's only symbolic.
The game is this year's biggest entertainment launch, according to Activision, though the company didn't say how much the game has generated in sales since its early November release.
The carrier serves up two options for customers looking to save on international phone calls to dozens of countries.
Latest game in the popular franchise blocks the Share Play feature on Sony's PlayStation 4, which is supposed to let friends share games over the Internet.
It may look like just another toy, but this smartphone-controlled stuffed animal lets you communicate with kids in a unique way.
What good is a digital assistant if she can't tell you to leave early because of traffic reports? That's a question asked by Microsoft at any rate.

PUEBLO - A major international drug trafficking ring operating out of Pueblo has been broken up after a 13-month investigation by local and federal authorities.
Juan Carlos Rayos-Franco, Clint Nielsen, Henry Loya, Sheriee Torres-Maes, Patricia Maes, Jonathan Caudill and Antonio Caro are accused of running the ring that is estimated to have brought 400-pounds of meth worth $18-million to Southern Colorado. The investigation into their alleged drug trafficking ring culminated last Saturday with arrests and raids.
"This is an organization that has a past of violence," explained Agent Matthew Barden of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). "They have a past of having regular contact with law enforcement."
Over the course of the investigation authorities seized 66-pounds of meth and 189-grams of heroin through traffic stops and finally during the execution of search warrants on Saturday.
Barden said the ring dealt in meth made by cartels in Mexico and shipped to Pueblo through California and New Mexico, one ring member was arrested in San Francisco and another in Albuquerque. They either drove it to the area or shipped it through the mail in corn starch containers which were detected by the Postal Service. The meth was up to 95-percent pure, which means after being cut by other ingredients it could've translated to thousands upon thousands of doses.
"Probably enough for everybody in Pueblo County to get stoned probably eight or ten times I'd be willing to bet you," Barden said. "It's a staggering amount of methamphetamine."
Authorities also seized hundreds of thousands in cash and 16 vehicles involved in the ring. Additionally they seized 13 guns including four assault rifles. Seven of the guns were stolen. Given the recent rash of violence in Pueblo, Police Chief Luis Velez said the seizure of the guns was also very important.
"Taking 13 guns off of the streets of Pueblo certainly at this time is something truly, truly valuable," Chief Velez explained.
The bust was carried out by a task force involving the DEA, the Postal Service, the Pueblo Police Department and the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office as well as other members of the Southern Colorado Drug Task Force. While officials said the bust would be a blow to drug trafficking in Southern Colorado, it is likely another ring will pop up.
"These are the levels of drugs that are being brought into the City of Pueblo and in this region," described Chief Velez. "We have to continue this fight."
All seven members of the ring are being held on $2.5-million bail each. They all face charges of dealing drugs, conspiracy to distribute drugs and possession.

My dad had a souffle at some restaurant in the middle of nowhere, and he says it was just plain, and they poured chocolate sauce over it as they served it. I think the recipe would have some combination of egg yolks, whites, and sugar, though I don't know if there are any other flavorings you would add. Would vanilla work? I probably would make a chocolate ganache or fruit sauce to serve with the souffle.
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I have been wanting to make this for a long time its Todd English recipe for vanilla souffle. Found it on Martha Stewart website. It looks so good.
I guess you could omit the vanilla if you wanted no flavoring at all,
Well played.

The Central Scotland/Strathclyde region
Argyll, in the West Highlands, is one of the most spectacular parts of Scotland with beautiful scenery, mountains, lochs and wildlife. It is an area steeped in history and offers a variety of activities. It is a wonderful area for hillwalking, bird watching, fishing and touring.
The cottages are perfect as a base for visiting Oban, Glencoe, Loch Lomond, the nearby islands and the Mull of Kintyre. It is an ideal place to explore the varied Argyll coast with sandy beaches, interesting coastal villages and wonderful sea life and wildlife.
Oban, the "Gateway to the Isles", is less than an hour's drive away and has sailings to the islands of Mull, Iona, Colonsay, Kerrera and other Hebridean islands. It is a busy fishing port with an 18 hole golf course, a cinema, an indoor pool, tennis and squash courts, a good choice of shops and restaurants and a lovely sandy beach at Ganavan Bay.
Travel north to Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, and visit the magnificent mountains of Glencoe, renowned as a climbing and winter sports centre. Visit Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National park.
The city of Glasgow can be reached in an hour and a half and offers a wide variety of attractions and amenities including excellent shopping, theatres and museums.
Lochfyneside, with its views to the hills and forests of the Cowal Peninsula, is in a stunning part of Argyll. Bird-watching, walking, diving, riding, golf and fishing are available locally. Red squirrel, pine martin, common seals, gannets, buzzard and golden eagle may all be seen nearby.
For lovers of Scottish culture there are events held locally throughout the year. The area has excellent hotels and restaurants, many serving local seafood and other local produce. Treat yourself to a meal at the famous Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and Smokery.
Lochside Cottage, and Lochview Cottage, which are on the outskirts of Furnace village, have great views over Loch Fyne and are ideally situated for trips to Inveraray (9 miles), with its famous castle, bell tower, historic jail, maritime museum, shops and restaurants. Furnace village has a pub and a local store and post office (1 mile).
Nearby are Crarae Glen Gardens (1 mile) and Auchindrain open air Highland village museum and archaeological site (4 miles).
Lochgilphead (15 miles) has local shops, bars and restaurants as well as sports facilities and a swimming pool.
Travel south to the harbour town of Tarbert, famous for its sailing festivals. Head to the Kintyre peninsula and take a ferry to explore the islands of Gigha, Arran and Islay or continue on until you reach Campbelltown.
Visit the Crinan Canal with its stepped locks. You can walk or drive a delightful route along its 9 mile length.
Historic Kilmartin Glen, with its museum, Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments, standing stones and burial cairns, should not be missed.

Much like the moment when Cinderella's fairy godmother gave her a choice of mice, birds, or horseshoe crabs as her professional dressers, the "certified make-up nerds" at Cseraph, Inc. offer multiple options for makeup application. Temptu airbrush makeup creates a picture-perfect complexion for special occasions, and more traditional application styles add a touch of beauty to everyday faces.

Mariam Merza spends her days at Skintology making sure that her clients? eyes remain the first thing people notice. She accomplishes this task by bolstering lash lines with mink eyelash extensions. Depending on how many lashes are attached, Mariam gives eyes a natural-looking boost or a dramatic increase in lash length and volume. She further details her work with complimentary eyebrow threading, waxing, or mowing services.
Armed with current techniques for properly maintaining noggin lawns, Regis Salon's network of stores keeps clients' hair in order as dictated by the latest trends. Within this caravan of hair bazaars, customers' wild manes are tamed by skillful stylists; use your Groupon toward a shampoo, cut, and blow-dry, and lean back and dream of breakdancing Stay Puft Marshmallow Men as a stylist carefully cleanses hair with shampoo and conditioner and then clips it into stylish head hedges that beautifully complement scalp-garden pathways. Afterward, the hair that's left behind will receive a loving blow-dry for a style that gleams and glitters like a ruby-encrusted bowling ball. During the treatment, stylists offer helpful tips and tricks to help clients care for hair at home. If a shampoo and cut isn't your cup of sports drink, put your Groupon toward the cost of another service, such as hair coloring (starting at $52), highlights (starting at $75), or a perm (starting at $75).
The year was 1999, and master barber Joe Grondin was nostalgic for a bygone institution. The barbershops of old were more than a place for a man to get his hair cut: they were a place to relax, share a conversation, and sneak a bite of the peppermint-flavored pole out front. But men's grooming establishments seemed to be a thing of the past?until Grondin founded his first Roosters in Lapeer, Michigan. The new-old trend caught on, and today, the throwback barbershops can be found coast-to-coast. Men can stop by for timeless services, from haircuts to full shaves to golf advice.
The stylists and aestheticians of Aria'L Salon and Spa will customize any treatment to the individuals they work with, steering appearances toward clients' unique goals. Hair can look fresher with a subtle, simple trim, or stylists can go all out with updos and color. A sense of natural beauty pervades the skincare branch, with microdermabrasion and deep-cleansing facials going below the surface. When they're beautifying clients, team members rely not only on their own wealth of knowledge but on labels they trust: Revitalash, PCA facial peels, and Schwarzkopf hair products.

Accomodation Policies
Arranging Accommodations
Special arrangements require a collaborative effort, and the student should take a lead role. Modifications in facilities and in courses may be necessary, but neither the instructor nor the facilities management bear the sole responsibility for making this happen. The student must make his or her abilities and barriers known. The counselor in the DS office will assist in this task and is available for consultation about possible solutions to the barriers.
Specific adaptations will vary according to the student and the severity of the disability. Letters of academic adjustments are written to each instructor listing all accommodations the student is entitled to receive and an explanation of Section 504 of the National Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In this letter, the student may choose whether to disclose the specific disability or just the verification of an unnamed documented disability.
Students are encouraged to hand-deliver the letter in order to talk to the instructors about the necessary accommodations, however, the DS office will deliver it upon request. It is important that the student meet with the instructor before or early in the term to discuss the specific adjustments that will be required. The counselor in DS should be contacted if assistance is needed during this meeting.
Some students may find that they have difficulties discussing their learning needs with their instructors. The DS counselor is available to discuss the approach to use and to role play the situation so that the student will be more comfortable. If requested, the DS counselor will go to the meeting to facilitate the discussion.

No Slowdown in Gaza-Israel Hostilities; Egyptian Official Optimistic on Cease-fire
Gaza City (CNN) -- Warplanes, drones and rockets criss-crossed the sky over Gaza for the sixth day Monday as Israel pressed its air offensive against Gaza militants. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal vowed continued resistance against what he called a "criminal enemy."
"We do not want escalation nor do we call for a ground war," he told reporters at a news conference. "But we are not afraid of it nor will we back down."
In Israel, air raid sirens wailed throughout the day and troops shepherded residents into bomb shelters as rockets arced overhead. In Gaza City, rockets streaked away toward Israel as smoke and fire poured from buildings struck by Israeli warplanes or drones. Most businesses were closed, the streets largely empty.
At least two people died Monday afternoon in a strike on a Gaza City office building used by some media outlets, according to Palestinian sources. Ramez Harb, information leader of the military media office of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, died in the attack, the sources said. Among the wounded were two children, the sources said.
The IDF said the strike targeted four senior Islamic Jihad members who it said were hiding in the building, including the information chief.Map: IsraelMap: IsraelCNN crew takes cover from rockets on airIsraeli and Palestinian discuss conflict
The military described the others as key figures in military training, attack planning, long-range rocket operations and arms manufacturing within the organization.
Israeli forces, who targeted the same building on Sunday, said on Twitter that the officials were using reporters as human shields.
"We targeted only the 2nd floor, which is where the senior terrorists were," the IDF said on Twitter. "The rest of the building was unharmed. Direct hit confirmed."
Palestinian health officials said 97 people have died and 750 have been wounded in Gaza since Israel's offensive -- sparked by months of what Israel characterized as incessant rocket attacks by militants -- began six days ago. Israeli officials say three people have died and 68 have been wounded in Israel as the result of rocket fire from Gaza.
Despite the violence, a general in Egyptian intelligence involved in talks to broker a cease-fire expressed optimism Monday that a deal to stop hostilities could be reached.
The general told CNN that Hamas gave Israel its conditions for a cease-fire through an intermediary, intelligence chief Mohamed Shehata.
"We are optimistic about the negotiations so far," the general said.
No details of the conditions were immediately available, nor was there any immediate confirmation of the letter from Israel.
Earlier, senior Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath said Hamas is demanding that Israel stop the airstrikes and end its long blockade of Gaza.
Hamas wants Israel to stop targeting the leadership of Palestinian factions and to expand the waters Palestinian fishermen are allowed to trawl from three miles offshore to 30, said Shaath, who is also a Fatah leader.
"The attempt is to reach a real stable situation. That's why they are asking for commitment on Israeli typical aggression and periodic incursions and constant shooting and firing at the fishermen in the sea," he said.
The territory has been under a crippling economic embargo since Hamas won control of the territory from the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank.
Hamas, a militant fundamentalist Islamic organization, took political control of the Palestinian territory in 2007 after a landslide election. The United States, Israel and the European Union say it is a terrorist group.
Israel, meanwhile, has demanded an end to the rocket attacks.
In a news conference Monday afternoon, Meshaal sounded defiant, saying the morale of Hamas fighters is high and warning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that escalating the conflict with a ground invasion would "not be a picnic."
"The goals of the enemy have failed," said Meshaal, who added that he plans to visit Gaza soon.Gaza explosion rocks CNN live reportPhotos: Violence flares between Palestinians, Israelis Photos: Violence flares between Palestinians, IsraelisBlasts interrupt interview in Gaza
Mounting international pressure is on Israel and Hamas to end the hostilities, including U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon flying to the region to personally appeal for a cease-fire.
In addition to the special Israeli delegation that traveled to Egypt on Monday, a steady stream of Arab League, U.N. and European diplomats were arriving in the region to promote a cease-fire.
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil el-Araby and 16 foreign ministers from the league's member states were to arrive in Gaza on Tuesday for talks, a spokesman for the organization said. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is expected to join the delegation, a ministry spokesman said Monday.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, meanwhile, will hold talks in the West Bank with the U.N. secretary-general during his visit to the region, said Saeb Erakat, a member of the PLO's executive committee and an Abbas ally.
"This must stop," Ban said late Sunday. He called on both sides to cooperate with Egyptian-led effort to broker a cease-fire.
"I am heading to the region to appeal personally for ending the violence and contribute to ongoing efforts to that end," he said.
Ban joins a growing chorus of Western and Arab diplomats calling for end to the crisis that has raised fears of a repeat of Israel's 2008 invasion of Gaza following a similar spate of rocket attacks. At least 1,400 people were killed in that conflict.
U.S. fears escalation to ground invasion
Ban's call for a truce came on the heels of the single deadliest attack -- an Israeli airstrike that left a family of 10 dead within the building's broken concrete and mangled metal.
Neighbors and family members used a ditch digger, shovels and their hands to dig through the debris of a two-story house blown apart by the Israeli airstrike.
A ditch digger was used to lift a giant slab of concrete. Underneath, the bodies of two small children were discovered.
Nearby, men dug through concrete blocks to find a missing woman.
"She's my uncle's wife," a young man shouted as he tried to get to a debris pile where the woman was believed buried. "She lived here."Egyptian demonstrators enter GazaSocial media takes on Gaza conflictCovering the Gaza conflictAirstrike kills 10 in one home
A short time later, the body of the elderly woman was uncovered.
On Twitter, the al Qassam Brigades -- Hamas' military arm -- called it a "massacre committed by Israeli occupation."
Iron Dome is a game-changer, Israelis say
The Israeli airstrike targeted Yehya Bayaa, "a senior Hamas member," said Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, the Israel Defense Forces' chief spokeswoman. The IDF alleges Bayaa is one of the leaders of a Hamas rocket-launching unit.
"When I say a senior Hamas member, I mean members that have Israeli blood on their hands -- members of Hamas that planned either the abduction of soldiers or are very much involved in targeting Israelis," Leibovich said.
The house was Bayaa's home and suspected command center, according to Leibovitch. She said the Israeli military was examining video of the strike to look for signs of secondary explosions, an indication that there were explosives inside. Initially, the IDF reported it killed Bayaa in the attack. But late Sunday, Leibovich said she did not know for sure whether Bayaa had been killed.
Rockets flew overhead as mourners gathered Monday at the al-Isra mosque for the funeral of some of the family members killed, CNN's Ben Wedeman reported. A short time later, the sound of the firing of more rockets could be heard.
Hundreds turned out for the funeral, where some chanted, "revenge, revenge."
FAQ: What is Hamas?
Also on Monday, militants fired six rockets toward Eshkol in southern Israel, with one hitting a school that has been shuttered since the conflict began, the IDF said. Several more rockets fired at Ashkelon -- which has been repeatedly targeted by militants in recent days -- were intercepted by Israel's missile defense system, it said.
Airstrikes Monday in Gaza targeted a stadium where the IDF alleges Hamas militants were launching rockets.
Overnight, a fairly intense air campaign was carried out with a number of airstrikes targeting primarily government buildings.
GPS: What does this all mean?
Militants in Gaza had fired nearly 1,000 rockets at Israel since the conflict began, the IDF reported. Roughly 570 rockets have struck Israel and another 307 have been intercepted by Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system, the IDF said. The rest have landed inside the Palestinian territory, the IDF said.
Israel, meanwhile, carried out 80 strikes on Monday, raising to more than 1,300 the number of sites targeted since it began its bombing campaign on Wednesday, according to the IDF.
The IDF has struck government buildings, police stations and the homes of Hamas officials as well as rocket-launching sites and suspected storage facilities.
"We are exacting a heavy price from Hamas and the (other) terrorist organizations, and IDF is prepared for a significant expansion of its operations," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters Sunday.
The Israeli government also has called up 75,000 reservists and massed tens of thousands of troops and tanks near the border of the border of the Palestinian territory.
Opinion: Hamas can't be ignored
The fighting has put new strains on Israel's relationship with Egypt, which is attempting to broker a cease-fire. The Muslim Brotherhood-led government that took power in June has pledged to maintain Egypt's peace treaty with Israel -- the cornerstone of what peace has been achieved in the turbulent region -- but sympathy for the Palestinians runs deep among Egyptians.
The United States and several European countries have put the brunt of the blame for the current crisis on Hamas, saying Israel has a right to self-defense, while Arab and Muslim nations have accused Israel of being the aggressor.
Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, repeated on Monday her previous calls for a long-term solution in Gaza.
"I'm very concerned about the loss of life, but I've also been saying consistently for a long time that we need to find a long-term solution to Gaza," she said. "I've been there three times and we have to find a way to prevent the kind of violent rocket attacks that we've seen, and also to bring some security and peace to the people of that region."
CNN's Sara Sidner and Arwa Damon reported from Gaza City; CNN's Chelsea J. Carter reported from Atlanta; CNN's Ben Wedeman, Fred Pleitgen, Amir Ahmed, Jessica Yellin and Mohamed Fadel Fahmy contributed to this report.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Han Sauce
Pear with a twist
30ml bottle
Ragtime Vapor
From the Ragtime Vapor website: We've enjoyed many Vanilla Custard e-liquids, even the most talked about varieties. It took a lot of time and research to come up with what we find to be one of the most delicately balanced custard vapes around. Rich enough for an after dinner indulgence, not too sweet, not too heavy, and 100% diacetyl-free!
For the vanilla custard lovers, 23 components make up this liquid. With added creaminess, subtle spiced bakery notes and a hint of sweetness, "23 SKID" is a winner.
Notes from Elevated Vaping:
This juice is a simple, yet succulent vanilla custard that also has some underlying, complex undertones of what we think is possibly a sweet cream. Like stated above, this custard is very balanced and round tasting with a sweet throat hit. If you're looking for a desert vape, this one is for you!
Han Sauce
Dragonfruit with a twist! This juice is tangy, tropical, mysterious, and amazing! Definitely a must try when looking for a new juice in your rotation!

Nick's Blissful Brews
Nice Juice
Buttery sweet, glazed apple fritter. Pure breakfast bliss. This sugared sweetness combined with the warmth of cinnamon apple gooeyness makes one of the best breakfast pastry juices we have ever tried; and you should definitely try it yourself as well. This juice has a glazed donut undertone that pairs perfectly with the warm, baked apple. This lightly spiced and deep fried crust is uh-mazing!
Space Jam Robo Fuel
Apples, strawberries and juicy peaches mixed together in a delectably refreshing fruity vape. The great thing that we found with this juice is that the blend of flavors is very even. The ratio of all of the fruits and berries is constructed to where you get a taste of all aspects. Many times we have found that when you have a juice with a blend, there is one particular flavor that stands out a little too much. That is not the case with this product. This juice is a revitalizing take on the tastes of fruit that we know and love. Looking for a slightly sweet, yet resistible blend of light flavors that go down easy? This is the juice for you!
30ML Bottle
Jolly Roger Vape Sauce
Witchers Brew
*This bottle may not arrive with the cork and skull. Due to leaking during shipment we are now moving to a different lid. Good news the flavors are still amazing!
Enjoyed like a fine scotch whiskey. Better yet enjoy it with your favorite whiskey and keep warm during the cold winter months. Its bold and only for the bold! These exquisite American tobaccos grown and extracted in North Carolina combine to give Blackbird its in your face tobacco punch. But don't be afraid! A subtle layering of citrus and non citrus flavors give this vape a very unique flavor profile unlike any other. Its finished off with a hint of cognac liquor to cleanse the palette.
