Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The Halo® SleepSack® Swaddle replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. In addition to helping your baby sleep safer, it helps him sleep better, too. Its adjustable swaddle wrap immobilizes your baby's arms to prevent the "Moro" or startle reflex. And, it is the only 2-in-1 adjustable swaddle that allows for swaddling arms in or arms out for baby's comfort and to ensure an easy and gentle transition to the SleepSack wearable blanket when it is time to stop swaddling.
Posted by Amanda on 18th Nov 2013
I love this product I use the 3-6month sleep sack for my little boy and got this one for my sister. I have seen many tragedies in my career associated to infants and blankets. I think this is a great alternative to blankets but yet still keep your child warm. Love this product

Presentation Panic Attack: Ask Noah
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Q: Noah, I'm only 26 and just earned the title of associate fashion editor at my company. I'm super psyched for this job. My catch issue: They want me to address the entire editorial staff with a 3 to 5 minute, "hello, here's my vision" speech. The position also demands monthly reports in front of the staff. I don't really like public speaking, and am petrified of being judged.
I know my field inside-out, yet when I go to speak, my brain freezes and I feel myself shutting down. I'm so scared my bosses will eventually regret their decision to promote me. Tips, please!
A: Start from a perspective of strength. You know you are good at what you do, because clearly you are now getting paid more to explain to others what you are doing!Remember, we have limited control over how others perceive us. So, of course, we are bound to fear what we cannot control. Throughout your career, colleagues, bosses, potential clients and everyone else will form opinions of you. These are often referred to as judgments ... and yes, you make them of others as well. More often than not, this will have nothing to do with the quality of your performance. It has more to do with their mood that day or whatever else is going on in their personal life. Here are the tips for your presentation: 1. Do not judge every presentation as a career-defining moment. It isn't. It only feels like that at that particular time. 2. Focus on stating your ideas, not selling them. You don't need to put on a show. Let content steer the wheel for a while! 3. Take a deep, full breath, and pause for a moment between making your points. Speak slowly and clearly while you deliver each remark. You create the pace and tone; own that pace. 4. Sometimes when we know what we have to say is valuable, we get so excited to present it. That's when we mumble over our words, or state our opinion in incomplete sentences. The simpler you present the material, the better. 5. Don't define yourself by your past presentations. That was then, this is now. Quit the negative self-talk and see each opportunity to speak your mind as a singular opportunity. 6. Practice with a friend. Make sure it is someone you trust, who isn't afraid to give you his or her honest opinion on your presentation. Ask them for specifics on clarity and content. 7. Prepare a brief outline using a few key words. Having the outline near you (even if it is not used) may decrease your anxiety.

Americana Troubadours at Large
The many inspired lyrics given to and interpreted by Eli, combined with Bill's bluesy finger-style guitar playing create a very uniquely modern take on true Americana music in its purest form. Receiving much recognition for their tightly woven musical creativity, they humbly remain true to their personal values. They speak out with strong heartfelt lyrics, accompanied with a soulful genuine pentatonic voicing, against social injustices, corporate greed, and daily follies in everyday life. They can grip your heart, search your soul, change a mindset, or softly strike a funny bone, all the while leaving the audience with a sentiment for the common good we desire in all mankind.
What They're Saying
Sir Charles Atkins (Florida State University Blues Lab Professor) - Bill & Eli are very soft-spoken, humble people. Musically the stuff they do is quite polished. It's about as close as anyone, here, comes to recalling, in our time, the authentic sound of traditional American Music.
Stetson Kennedy (Author, Folklorist, and Human Rights Activist) - Thank-you for your deliberate contribution to better society.
Keith Harrlson (Moonlight on the Mountain) - Imagine George Burns and Gracie Allen as a couple of sweet old hippies, and you have a start on what to expect from our performers tonight--- this spunky, spirited duo just keeps rolling along as they always have, a combination blues-folk compendium and social-justice vanguard. While celebrating a hundred-year history of indigenous American music, Bill and Eli insist on tugging us onward with two lifetimes' perspective on how good people ought to behave. But they ain't no scolds-- the finger-wagging's reserved for marking time to a sassy swing number...
Fran Snyder (Founder of Concerts in Your Home Network) - Eli and Bill Perras charmed our audience with heartfelt delivery and compelling songs. Eli is a wonder to watch, and this lovely couple were a delightful addition to our inaugural Listening Room Festival. So enjoyable.
Tom Ghent (Noted Singer/Songwriter) - Eli and Bill Perras are great....I certainly hope my friends from Nashville will go see them...
Amy Carol Webb (Noted Singer/Songwriter) - Good going, Bill & Eli! Keep on changing the world one song at a time.
Tony Thomas (Old Time Banjo Virtuoso) - Frankly it was pleasant to have a real group of what I consider folk music hosted by the folk club and I feel honored to have hosted you. Too many of the people who the club has are people whose real credentials and music is rock and roll and have as little to do with traditional music or social concern as anything you hear on a top 40 radio station.
Berkeley" Bob Keefe (Proprietor of Berkeley Bob's Coffeehouse) - Bill & Eli Perras are coming up from Florida to perform. Don't miss this, its one of the most unusual folk blues acts you will ever see, really good stuff. Bill plays a mean guitar, Eli sings the blues in a very animated style. American style folk music at it's best.
Jim Strickland (Mr. Ethnic's WMNF Old Time Music Show) - Bill & Eli Perras were wonderful! Great blues guitar finger-picking from Bill as they warmed hearts and touched our souls with their unique original songs. One song in particular that chronicled Eli's search for herself, from being an "unadoptable" foster child to finding her roots as a full blood Arawak Indian brought us goose bumps and misty eyes.
John Casey (IndyWest House Concerts) - We hosted a house concert featuring Bill & Eli. There was such warmth to their performance, you can imagine them playing to hundreds or thousands at a folk festival, but to be in a room with less than 20 people is just amazing. It is hard to look away from Eli, as she does not just sing, she literally performs and Bill's finger-picking is second to none!

Sup, old blurty?!
[15 Mar 2006|
This is hilarious.
I need a hug.
[11 Aug 2003|
Dear Friends,
I'm writing to say that I've officially left Phantom Planet. I love the guys more than anything and I've had some of the most amazing memories with them, but it's just not right for me to be in the band anymore. It's time for me to pursue other things. I want to thank each and every one of you for your love, support, and devotion through the years. You've made so much possible and it's meant a lot to me. See you soon, hopefully at the next Phantom Planet show.
Jason Schwartzman
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Jason left Phantom Planet! This is so sad. SO sad. He didn't even stick around to finish the third album. He's leaving so he can further pursue his acting career, and I mean, it's exciting to know he'll be in more movies... but he always said he was a musician first and foremost. What happened, Jason?! ::cries::
I remember when I first got into them. It was last summer. I'd never heard of them, not so much as a note from one of their songs. I was watching MTV2, and the video for "California" came on. It was love at first site with the quirky, short, black-haired drummer. He threw xylophones. He wore women's clothes. He wrote "Phantom Planet was Here" on bathroom stalls. He played toms with his forehead. HE BRUSHED HIS TEETH WITH VODKA. He just had the greatest personality, and you could tell it rubbed off on the rest of the band.
Anyway, I bought The Guest not long after I saw that video and have been a fan ever since. I've always found it so amazing, admirable, and just generally cool that these guys have been friends since gradeschool, and now are just as close as adults, making teriffic music. That's one of the things that makes them such a great band to me -- the fact that you can tell they just really care about each other and are great, great friends. Taking Jason out of that mix is just so sad. It's like they're losing a brother.
There was a band note on phantomplanet.com from Jacques, Alex, Darren and Sam saying that they harbor no ill will toward Jason and wish him the best, and that the band is NOT breaking up, but they are using a studio musician for the rest of album 3. From JASON SCHWARTZMAN to a studio musician! It just won't be the same. I never really thought of Jason as an extraordinary drummer until I heard some of their live stuff, and was completely blown away. He's an absolute animal. He's got such a cool style. Their music won't be the same without him. Besides, he wrote Don't Get Down! Best Phantom Planet song ever.
::sigh:: Well, at least they're not pissed at each other, and at least the rest of the band is still together. Hopefully Jason's movies will be worthwhile. After Slackers and Simone, I kind of have my doubts. But I can't be mad at the guy. He's JASON! And we love Jason.
You are Adorable Jason. Your call-ins make us want
to hug our respective computer screens. WE LOVE
Which Jason Schwartzman Are You?
brought to you by
::sigh:: Yeah, Jason's call-ins WERE always the best. "So I'm just driving around in my car listening to Weezer and...HOLY CRAP I THINK A COP IS FOLLOWING ME!"
=( Well... I guess I wish him good luck in all of his endeavors and whatnot. And I hope the rest of the guys erm... "keep it real", so to speak.
Time to go dig out my Phantom Planet footage and albums and be mopey and nostalgic.
I need a hug.
[27 Jun 2003|
Ewwwwwwwww! My mom bought bomb pops!
I need a hug.
[26 Jun 2003|
Last night I rented "They". Apparently it came out this week...I was under the impression it was coming out next week. So I was excited, naturally, and I pranced up to the checkout counter with stars in my eyes and hearts floating above my head because I was about to rent a movie in which Ethan Embry was in a scene in which he did not wear clothes.
Or so I thought.
I went home and watched the movie, giggling like a crazed lunatic everytime Sam (Ethan's character, and the only character whose name I bothered to remember) said something morbidly humorous, such as:
Some girl: I wonder what went through is mind when he shot himself?
Sam: A bullet.
Anyway, aside from the hilarious lines (which were few and far between), and the fact that there was like 5 seconds of a Thursday song in this movie, it was highly disappointing. It never even really let us know who "They" are! To me, "They" looked like sticks. And it never really clarified if "They" wanted to kill these people. My theory is that "They" just wanted Ethan Embry to come to "Their" ultra-cool party for cool people and stick-like beings.
Anyway, the movie sucked incredibly, and the only thing that kept me watching was the fact that I was promised a nude Ethan Embry before it was over. I am a perv. And Ethan Embry is sexy. So BAH! But anyway, when the movie was over, I obviously noticed that Ethan Embry was fully clothed the entire time. But, whenever the DVD went back to the main menu, I also noticed there was an alternate ending. I thought, "Oh, this must be where it is!" and I quickly selected it. No nude Ethan, however. Just a schizophrenic girl in a psych ward breaking a window, the pieces of which I can only hope she used to stab herself in the heart with.
In a mad rage, I went online today and searched high and low for an explanation as to why I have yet to see Ethan Embry -at least- shirtless. I finally found my answer on Amazon. Apparently, the scene that contained this exciting thing, was a deleted scene and only appears on the ***SPECIAL EDITION*** DVD. The video store here does not carry Special Edition. And it's not like I'm going to pay 20 bucks for that piece of crap just for one scene.
So, I'm screwed.
AND Ethan Embry is starting to piss me off. First Sweet Home Alabama, and now this? I think when I send him his cookies (if I ever do that, which isn't likely seeing as I hate to cook) I will also include a letter that says something like -
Dear Ethie,
(yes, we're close personal buddies. I can call him Ethie. XD)
Please start being in cool movies again. Otherwise I may be forced to kill myself.
Much love,
PS: Please come to my house and make out with me.
how effective will that be? Think it'll work? XD
Dude. I've babbled long enough.
I am obsessed.
Heh. Obsession is fun! ::eeeeeeeevil laugh::
But now, I must go, for "They" are coming for me.
76 hugs.
I need a hug.
sad days!
[13 Jun 2003|
June 12 — Gregory Peck, the lanky, handsome movie star whose long career included such classics as "Roman Holiday," "Spellbound" and his Academy Award winner, "To Kill a Mockingbird," has died, a spokesman said Thursday. He was 87.
I need a hug.

RELEASED: Jan. 17, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — Two University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students have received $5,000 scholarships to study abroad this spring semester through the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program.
Rebecca Mai
Tamar Reim
Sophomore Rebecca Mai, Kaukauna, will visit the Czech Republic through the International Student Exchange Program, ISEP-Direct. Junior Tamar Reim, Vernon, British Columbia, will study in Germany through a UW-Eau Claire program at the Institute for German Language and Culture in Wittenberg.
Mai, a comprehensive social studies education major, will enroll in the Central European Studies Program hosted by Masaryk University in the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. She plans to share her experiences in Eastern Europe with her future middle or high school students.
"In my opinion, Eastern Europe is one the most beautiful, historic and fascinating regions in the world," said Mai. "It's not a popular place to visit, but I wanted to go someplace different I'm very excited about doing additional travel throughout Eastern Europe to learn all I can."
For her Gilman project, Mai will use journals, photos and other artifacts to create a presentation she can present at study abroad fairs. She will include academic, cultural and social information, as well as personal stories in her project so she can serve as a student mentor to future study abroad students.
"My study abroad coordinator has told me there are already other students thinking about going to the Czech Republic, so I feel that I would be a great source of information," said Mai. "I hope my experiences will encourage other students to broaden their horizons, take risks and be adventurous."
Reim is a special education major with minors in German education and music. After teaching beginning German to first- through seventh-graders, she decided to study in Germany to become more fluent in its language and culture, she said. UW-Eau Claire's study abroad program in Wittenberg, Germany, includes a semester of intermediate-level courses taught in German. Reim is excited the classes are taught at the same university where Martin Luther once taught.
"I am very interested in the history of Martin Luther, and this particular study abroad program will allow me to visit many historical sites relating to Luther," said Reim.
Reim said she strongly believes that it's important to learn about different cultures and respect different views. As a teacher, she hopes to instill these values in her students, she said.
To help achieve that goal, Reim has created a Web quest for use in elementary schools. Students can use the site to plan a trip to Germany, which requires them to research German food, climate, geography, exchange rates, cultural practices and travel options.
"Included in the Web quest will be a blog that I will update while I am in Germany," said Reim. "Students can ask me questions, read about my experiences and look at my pictures. The blog portion of the Web quest will allow my project to be used in a high school setting."
For the service-learning portion of her experience, Reim will volunteer in a music school.
"This will give me the fantastic opportunity to interact with more German-speaking people and learn new music education techniques," Reim said.
When she returns, Reim will make presentations in classrooms that used her Web quest.
Mai and Reim are the fourth and fifth UW-Eau Claire students to be notified in the past year that they were selected for the Gilman Scholarship program. The program received 1,369 applications for 400 possible awards for the 2008 spring awards cycle.
"This is a competitive program so it speaks very well of our students that we've had multiple award winners," said Susan Lochner, study abroad coordinator. "We're seeing more and more of our students apply for and receive these kinds of scholarships. That's great for the individual students and for our campus."
The Gilman International Scholarship Program, established by the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000, provides awards that allow American undergraduate students who receive federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study abroad programs worldwide. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and is administered by the Institute of International Education through its Southern Regional Center in Houston.

Not value for money
By Vinod from Bay Area CA on Jan 31, 2012
I should have looked at the one bad review for this product .. now I am having to go through the hassle of returning this. Very cheap looking PVC material at the top and bottom, the lamp looks really cheap when not lit up .. spoils the look of the entire room. We have an ordinary one with a wooden base and metal we got from target for $20, this one was more than $225 for much cheaper material and no metal or wood - just paper and PVC. Illumination not good either. Not recommended.

Warnaco Takes A Closer Look At European Units
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Warnaco Group Inc., the parent company of high-end clothing brands like Calvin Klein and Speedo, announced Monday that it is reviewing its European operations and expects to restructure the businesses there.
The move was spurred "in light of challenging macroeconomic conditions in Europe," Warnaco said. It expects to cut costs with the aim of fueling future profits and growth.
Companies of all stripes are concerned about Europe, where many countries are in recession or teetering near it, unemployment is high and governments are being forced to rein in long-held habits of big spending. Retailers are worried that customers there won't have as much money to spend. Banks are worried about investments there.
Warnaco's European revenue fell 13 percent in the January-March quarter, while overall revenue fell 7 percent. Europe made up about a quarter of the company's total revenue in the first three months of the year.Helen McCluskey, who became Warnaco CEO in February when her predecessor retired, said in a statement that Calvin Klein jeans and underwear brands "are powerful and continue to resonate with European consumers." But accessories have been less so. Warnaco is giving up the Calvin Klein accessories business in Europe after failing to meet minimum sales requirements in 2010 and 2011 from CKI, the company that licenses the Calvin Klein brand. Warnaco said it will provide more information when it releases second-quarter results, which will likely be in early August.

The country style is a type of traditional decor reminiscent of the cottages. If it catches your attention this style and want to use it in an unconventional space, you can choose the bathroom as a starting point to test this kind of decoration. So if you decide to decorate the bathroom country style, you just follow some of the ideas that we're going to mention here.
It is not necessary that you attach you fully to the decoration country style as such, because it just takes some elements of this style and combine with contemporary accessories to create a bathroom with modern decor, but warm and inviting.
Country style bathroom decor
What characterizes the country style is the use of natural elements in the decoration. It is so it makes use of the wooden furniture, neutral colors and vintage accessories that reflect the life of the field. To decorate a bathroom in the style country must follow the following parameters.
How to decorate a country style bathroom ideally choose light colors for the walls and most of the decorative objects. The pastel color palette is ideal to achieve the rustic but at the same time gentle encountered in country decor.
For the walls, you can choose between traditional paint and wallpaper. In the case of choosing paint, pastel and neutral colors will be the protagonists. On the other hand, if you want to use the paper tapestry, you are free to wear stronger and printed with vintage lines. You can also opt to take bath in the wooden walls.
As for the story, it is better choose Woods or a material that resembles wood but that is not destroyed with the use (in the bathroom humidity is generated). If you want a modern twist, you can opt for concrete floors, which will give you an area designed with a rustic touch.
Decorative accessories:
It is used to decorate accessories that are simple and have a touch of field in the bathroom, in addition to common consumables. You can place pictures, dried flowers, decorative plates, containers pewter, etc.
Recommended for bathroom furniture is choose pottery in light colors (white is the most common) with metal or bronze faucets and combine them with wooden shelves. If the size of the bathroom allows you, you can include some rustic bathroom cabinets and mirrors framed in wood or bronze (might sound redundant, but wood is the main star of the country style). To give it a personal touch, you can choose painted furniture or wear them with your natural tone.

SOA2 0.6.3D for Diplomacy-TrinityAug 29, 2013 Patch 3 comments
The latest update for SOA2 0.6.2D and is only for the newest full version released Aug 17th, 2013.
2 comments by zwood on May 18th, 2014
This is first "Special" report on star trek mods. The idea is explain what the mod is and features within the mod. We will also report about these mods as they develop or release new versions.
So as many of you might of seen on our members list we have now began to get the devs from many star trek mods to join us, and I have asked if we can work together to produce reports on their mods.
so lets get to it.
Our first report is on Star Trek: Sacrifice of Angels 2 a total conversion for the game sins of a solar empire: Rebellion and also their is a version for Diplomacy as well. This mod brings races from the star trek universe into sins. Their are a total of 5 major races, which are playable and also a number of other races which make up the new raiders/pirates.
the 5 playable races are
The pirates are a mash up of other races such as the Maquis.
The mod star trek ships such as the galor class from the cardi's or the legendary birds of prey for the mighty Klingon Empire, it also brings other things into the mod such as the Nor station or better known as DS9 look alike, and the detail is amazing. Some of the models are abit dated however but the dev team have been working on new ones and from what I've seen they look fantastic , this mod is really cool because you have to use strategy to win. each race has their strengths and weaknesses, so you have to play to them to win because if you don't like me for the first couple of times you gonna get wiped out.
I love the concept of the game-play, one of the things i loved about this mod was that The Dominion have to ensure loyalty throughout their forces otherwise they will turn on you (damn traitors!). Little things like this really make you think and enrich the game-play even further because not only do you have to worry about the enemy but also your own forces. The Borg like me is everybody's nightmare in the mod because they are OP, why because they are the Borg they are meant to be OP if not whats the fun in playing against them if your not sending hundreds of soldiers to their deaths against a single cube.
Don't worry their are tutorials if you get stuck on how to play as the races on the mods homepage ( i'll put a link at the bottom.)
Overall its one of the best mods out their for star trek. challenging gameplay,wonderful attention to detail and a great support team if you get abit stuck.
I would highly reckon Star trek fans head over and check out this mod because it is worth it. It is one of the mods that has kept me coming back for more.
The team have and still work really hard to improve this mod and I wish them Good luck for the next update.
I hope you have enjoyed the report and I hope you zoom on over to their page and download their mod. I hope to see you on the battlefield soon, real soon because the borg are killing us out here.
until next time good fans.
Live long and Prosper.

The latest update for SOA2 0.6.2D and is only for the newest full version released Aug 17th, 2013.
The latest 0.6.2 build of Sacrifice of Angels 2 for Diplomacy/Trinity 1.37. This is a complete reinstall, do not overwrite the old folder, it must be...
Bit of a noob question but how can i set up games with guys that play this mod? Do you have a private channel of some sort? When i go to the sins menu in multiplayer its just vanilla sins players.
You basically have to have friends set up a time, and all log into the Sins multiplayer lobby or use IP connect. The Sins forum has also had games and friend request posted before.
What are the recommended game settings to get more of a Star Trek feel? I guess it's opposed to the design of Sins, but I think in Star Trek there should be less ships. Less ships, which are then more valuable. So sometimes I try to lower build speed, but that's not enough. I think I've read that you should keep the fleet size at normal, because changing it can screw with the AI?
PS: I copied the Rebellion Mod folder, added dev to its name and started the dev exe. However, I can't bring up the dev menu with ctrl shift .
[CTRL + SHIFT + .] period, not the one on the number pad, the one above ALT.
Can't really help you with settings, that is up to each user. I play everything normal, SOA huge multi FFA and try to make allies damn fast to engage the Borg.
This is the sickest mod Ive ever played...excellent work guys. The star trek feel just works so well for this game
hi all I downloaded the mod for entrachment and all the ships planets and buildings are transparent please help me
The Entrenchment DL works, I just tested it. Make sure that you are running the Entrenchment expansion and it is fully updated.
Sometimes the DL gets corrupted, try DL'ing again.
To all the people who were involved developing this MOD thank you... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Will SOA2 work with the latest beta (1.79.4804)?
More than likely not. So if you plan on updating to the public beta, Backup your 1.52 installation first. Just go into your steam files, find rebellion, copy it and paste it to another location. You can run the game from any location as long as steam is running.
I actually went ahead and tried it....and good news, works fine from my end. All you have to do is move/copy the SOA2 mod folder over to the Rebellion 1.79 mods folder.
Same way you find it in the previous versions of Sins.
Options/Mods/Show Mod Path.
The path may or may not be a hidden folder depending on your system settings. If so, do a folder and search options on documents, hit the view tab, and select show hidden files, folders and drives.
Highest Rated (5 agree) 10/10
Great mod, great Star Trek feeling. Cant stop playing.

Richard Dolan is the world's best UFO historian, and in this interview with Whitley Strieber he discusses his take on the abduction phenomenon, MJ-12 and the reasons for UFO secrecy on the part of the government, and the disclosure struggles of the late eighties and early nineties.
People area always asking why the US government denies the UFO phenomenon. Listen as Richard Dolan identifies specific members of the power elite who are behind what is now a hopeless trap of a government so committed to denial that it can no longer afford the impact to its fundamental credibility that disclosure would entail.
But what is the power elite hiding? Dolan's speculations are as frightening as they are credible. Don't miss this powerful interview, and don't miss Richard Dolan's new book or his website, KeyholePublishing.com.

Senior Living Providers Buy Into the Internet, Wary of Social Media
Senior living providers won't argue with the power of the Internet to drive leads, but most are still wary of interacting with social media.
During the National Investment Center (NIC) for the Seniors Housing & Care Industry's regional event in San Diego, Calif., panelists described their hesitation with using social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter, but some are starting to dip their toes into the water.
Elmcroft Senior Living is taking a cautious approach when it comes to social media. While the company has a Facebook presence, it's used less as a way to drive leads and more as a way to keep families informed about the community.
"Our use of [Facebook] is in its infancy, but it will evolve over time," said Pat Mulloy, CEO of Elmcroft. "Facebook is great; it has a role, but we are going to take it very carefully."
Baby Boomers—who are often the decision makers for where their parents will live in their later years — are one of most active and growing users of Facebook and social media in general. According to Nielsen, Baby Boomers represent a third of all online and social media users with another third being "heavy" Internet users with 8 million of them spending more than 20 hours a week online. Despite such strong numbers, some senior living providers doubt that social media will ever be a real force when it comes to driving leads.
Brenda Bacon, CEO of Brandywine Senior Living, said she isn't convinced providers will ever see residents come into their communities from Facebook or Twitter.
"There will be people who are going to say something whether we want them to or not," said Bacon. Utilizing social media is more of a way to address things said about the company, a defensive measure, she said. "[Social media] is a risk for us, more than an opportunity."
Others, such as Benchmark Senior Living, are diving in head first. Benchmark recently hired an employee who is dedicated to managing the company's social media presence full time. The company is making an effort to embrace the comments and reviews often found on social media sites, whether they're good or bad.
"We are trying to build a culture of transparency," said Stephanie Handelson, president and COO of Benchmark Senior Living. "We've had [things posted on Facebook showing] service failure, but we've also posted how we fixed the situation."
By addressing negative comments head on and fixing the problem, Benchmark was able to create a more engaging experience for the family and resident. While the industry is wary of social media in general, everyone is seeing the power of the Internet to grow their business.
Cascade Living Group said that roughly 20% of all their move-ins are coming from organic search engine optimization.
"Our SEO platform has grown exponentially year over year, while seeing a decline from traditional print media," said Tom Stanley, founder and principal of Cascade Living Group.

Another risk with social media, is that it's hard to measure the performance of the campaign. Ya you can see how many likes you get and how much people are interacting, but to have it as a worthwhile lead generating technique it's hard to measure. Unless you're using their advertising network. Then you can tap into their information and target the demographics of adult children. Facebook is the coffee lounge of the internet and people are there to hang out versus look for information. A well optimized search engine marketing program is much more effective
I agree with Kevin on this. Using social media as an outlet to generate sales isn't the way to go. Ultimately, one should be using social media to maintain a fanbase or a customer of some sort, but it's definitely not how you acquire that customer. The last thing someone wants to see on their social media feed is someone or something that they are unfamiliar with.

Stocking up: You can do it too!
When it comes to food, abundance is a good thing, right? How about when your garden starts putting out so much food that even 8-10 twenty-somethings cannot consume it all? Well, no need to panic! It just means that it is time to persevere and preserve!
Putting food up properly allows you eat preserved foods in the upcoming year without the risk of botulism. Frozen and canned foods can usually be consumed up to a year from processing date. Beyond one year, canned foods are still safe to consume, but start to loose quality. Depending on your freezer and the type of food, frozen goods usually hold true to their form and taste up to 4-12 months and much more if vacuumed sealed.
Never preserved food you say?
Putting food aside is easy; you can start today!
There's canning, freezing, and drying, oh my!
Look at all the food you can put by!
Just pick a method to use, step one,
Then follow the guidelines below. What fun!
Keep a good reference book close by,
Then process your food with friends and watch the time fly.
Now that the rhyming is done, let's get down to the nitty gritty starting with canning. The canning process was first invented by Frenchman, Nicolas Appert and proven to be successful in 1806 with the first canning factory appearing in the US in New York City in 1812. (So this year, the United States celebrates 200 years of canned foods!) Canning became popular as a way to provide non-perishable food items to soldiers and during non-war periods, companies were able to expand their items to the civilian market resulting in the creation of businesses such as Nestle and Heinz.
Three methods of canning are: hot-packing, pressure canning, and water bath which I will discuss here. Note, before starting any method of canning, make sure to sterilize all jars and equipment in boiling water for at least one minute. Use mason jars that are made for canning as they are made to withstand temperature and pressure. Check jars for cracks and breaks that could prevent a strong seal.
Water bath canning is used for high acid foods only (foods with a pH 4.6 or less) such as apples, peaches, pickles, and tomatoes. These are foods that naturally have a low pH or because of added vinegar or sugar.
|Examples of high-acid foods (pH less than 4.6) include:
Pickled beets
Fruit juices
Tomato juice
To can using a water bath, follow the general guidelines below:
- Pack food in sterilized jars
- Use recipe to determine the correct amount of headspace to leave between packed food and lid. As a general rule, allow 1/2-inch headspace for fruits and tomatoes and 1-inch for all vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood.
- Place clean, sterilized, and unused lids on jars and secure with bands (bands can be reused)
- Put jars in water bath or large stock pot so that jars are completely submerged in water (at least 2 inches of water should remain above tops of jars).
- Once water has returned to a boil, keep jars in water bath for 5-85 minutes*
- Remove jars from water and allow jars to sit undisturbed for at least 12 hours
- Check to make sure lid has sealed (should have general concaveness) and then label lid with food contents and month/year.
- Store canned foods in a cool, dry place. Remove band from jar to avoid rust.
*Timing is dependent on type of food, style of pack, and jar size.
For more detailed instructions on water bath canning, visit the Virginia Cooperative Extension website.
Freezing is another accessible and easy method to put food by. Green beans, peas, and greens only require a quick blanching before they can be thrown into a freezer bag. Tomatoes can be frozen whole and then used in stews and crock dishes. A vacuum sealer is a handy piece of technology to have at hand to increase the time of how long your frozen foods will stay fresh, but even without a vacuum sealer, frozen foods can last four or five months and maintain their taste and quality. Chest freezers are recommended for storing frozen goods as they regulate temperature more evenly than a conventional freezer. It is also important to note that freezers do require electricity! In the awful case that power is lost for a long period of time, say in July, you are at risk of loosing your frozen foods. To minimize food loss, sharing your food storage methods between canning, drying, and freezing is the recommended way to go.
AMS fellows have dove into the preserving world head first with help of Phase II fellow Sarah Collins starting in mid-August. We have gotten down and dirty (and sometimes a bit smelly) blanching tomatoes, chopping salsas, putting apples through the food mill, and more. And with all that hard work we have given next year's Phase I fellows some tasty homegrown food to enjoy in the spring.
Just a peek at some of what we have put up:
- 100+ quarts of canned tomato products
- 50+ quarts of pickled foods (cucumbers, beans, beets)
- 11 quarts of applesauce and 15 quarts of peach preserves
- Dried peaches and cherry tomatoes
- 80+ lbs of frozen vegetables (green beans, broccoli, peppers, corn, kale, peas)
- 19 pints of frozen pesto
- 20 lbs of frozen chicken
From all of us at AMS, happy canning!
