Five News Writing Tips for PR Professionals
One of my favorite stories I covered as a general assignment reporter involved a tulip tree. This tulip tree was a billowing 60-foot landmark in an eastern Massachusetts town. The townsfolk adored the tree, and it wasn't a surprise when residents budded into verbal battle when town officials said they would gut the tree because its roots had overgrown the sidewalk and prompted safety concerns.
While some locals called the town's decision an attack on their village, I was busy formulating the front-page story. Aside from attending municipal meetings about the tree's fate and speaking with residents about their love of the specimen, I knew this story needed extra attention to the elements of storytelling and ingredients of news writing. I had to bring the story to life as the tree awaited its execution – after all, it's a reporter's job to tell a clear, concise and visual story that'll keep readers flipping pages and viewers scrolling eyeballs.
Here's what a tulip tree taught me about news writing and how your story could land on page one:
- Craft a compelling lede. The lede – the first sentence of your story that contains the news hook – is the make or break deal, the most important sentence in your story. Your words need to capture the readers' attention before they reach the period. To do so, aim to write ledes that contain about 35 to 40 words and address the five Ws – who, what, when, why and how – as much as you can to make your readers slide into the next paragraph. For my tulip-tree story, I led with the high-level details that the tree was slated for removal and caused uproar from residents who even consider filing an appeal.
- Determine direct or delayed lede. Not only do you have a few words to secure readers' attention, but you need to do it in style. Depending on the nature of your news – a big company acquisition, an emotional family homecoming or a popular tree's destiny – go direct or delayed. Direct ledes are often used for hard news stories, and these ledes are exactly what they sound – tell your news as it is. Delayed ledes, however, are most used when writing feature and human pieces – these ledes take a slower approach to introduce the reader to the story and focus heavily on imagery and senses. While I could have taken a slower approach to the tulip tree by describing it or including residents' favorite memories, I opted direct because of the heated debate and got right to the punch of the story.
- Employ muscular verbs. The immortal words of one of my editors: use verbs that put an extra emphasis on show not tell. A good rule of thumb: ditch the verbs and forms of being. If you're describing a busy airport with gate agents speaking loudly via intercoms, opt for verbs such as bark or squawk to show your readers these gates were quickly corralling passengers to board aircraft. For the tulip tree, I used the verb straddle to show how the tree was growing on both a resident's and town property. These Arnold-like verbs will help your message resonant louder with readers.
- Vary sentence length. Also advice from the same editor: don't bore your readers with the same declarative sentence as if it's on repeated spin cycle. As a wordsmith, you'll want to write a long sentence for every couple short to medium sentences. Differing your sentence length will keep your reader engrossed in the story, hungry to learn more. Like ledes, your average sentence should be no more than 35 to 40 words.
- Sprinkle color commentary. Your quotes from sources, be them residents, officials, executives or celebrities, should also show not tell and encapsulate opinions and analogies that'll advance your story to the next level. Quotes should never rehash the preceding paragraph, but should complement and build off the words that introduce them. Quotes should also be used sparingly as your words should tell the story, not others' thoughts. In my tulip-tree story, I concluded with commentary from a resident saying the decision was wrong: "I consider this an attack on my village. I feel like this whole thing is about an urbanization that is distinct and clear about efficiency. I don't know what you guys [Board of Selectmen] are thinking to even claim that you're tree friendly and claim that you're green."
To bow tie your news story, be sure to write it in Associated Press style. Stay updated about common mistakes of AP style, new additions to the 2011 stylebook, including social media entries.

[...] know what a "muscular verb" [...]
Priceless advice. PR newbies should bookmark this page. Thanks,Steve. I especially love section on "muscular verbs."
You spelled "Lead" as "Lede". And a "delayed" lead is called an "embargo" in Journalism.
Donna, Steve is correct with his spelling of "lede" – http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lede.
Also, a delayed lede is a common type of feature lede, while an "embargo" relates to the agreement to delay publishing a story or statement.
Dianne, you're so right. This is a great article for newbie writers (PR and journalists) and an equally good refresher for those of us who are slightly "seasoned."
"Your quotes from sources, be them residents, officials, executives or celebrities…"
Isn't it "…be THEY residents…"?

The "affordable" care act is anything but. It is a $2.5+ Trillion anti-seniors, job reducing welfare scam and a massive middle class tax hike to fund Obama's freeloaders and illegal's.
Hiring 16,500 IRS agents plus thousands of costly new bureaucrats hardly has nything to dow ith making healthcare affordable.
IF Obama cared in the least about healthcare he would ask to have this scam repealed and then work on a bill that is no more than 75 pages and reduces costs without stealing senior's money.
RILA sounds off on Affordable Care Act
The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) issued the following statement in response to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) employer mandate proposed rules filed early in January in the Federal Register.
"RILA applauds the Treasury Department for including flexible solutions in the proposed rules, which were developed with input from our member companies and the Employers for Flexibility in Health Care Coalition," said Christine Pollack, VP government affairs. "Employers are committed to providing their employees with quality and affordable health benefits. Nonetheless, with the law's effective date less than a year away, employers still face enormous challenges and costs to comply with the health law."
RILA has engaged closely with the Treasury Department and other administration agencies in an effort to shape the complex rulemaking process. Last month in a letter to President Obama, RILA highlighted the effect the overdue rules would have on employers. Specifically, RILA has argued that with no time left to reasonably comply with implementation rules, transition relief is needed to allow employers to adapt existing benefits and design future benefits to comply with the law.
"RILA appreciates the inclusion of transition relief in the proposed rules for non-calendar year employer-sponsored health plans. However, relief is still needed for the employer-sponsored plans that must comply with the law in less than a year. Without it, well-intentioned employers will be subject to a variety of penalties, and coverage for millions of Americans could be jeopardized," said Pollack.

Balloon Boy - Quickest Meme Ever?
- topic:
- Humor
- New Trend

The web exploded today with the news of six-year-old Falcon Heene from Fort Collins, Colorado who was flying across the Centennial State while (allegedly) trapped in a giant, mushroom-shaped helium balloon. Everyone was chained to online live streaming video to see how the story would unfold. To add to the bizarre story, the family, no stranger to the media spotlight, had been featured in an episode of ABC's 'Wife Swap'. Thankfully, the boy was found alive and had actually been hiding in a box in the attic the whole time. WHEW.
So anyway, it seems that as the story was unfolding, the Internet was on its A-game, churning out image macros, faux Twitter accounts, T-shirts, mashing up memes, etc. to commemorate what will now be known as the afternoon of Balloon Boy on the web. Since we can laugh now that we know Falcon's okay, see a few of our very favorite balloon boy jokes and web tributes below.

The family of balloon boy delivered this previously uncirculated photo to the Larimer County Sherriff's department today. It appears to solve the mystery as to why the boy was not in the balloon when it landed. The boy's father said he did not have the photo last week because the film needed to be developed. The Sherriff's department has issued a statement that the photo appears to be genuine and that there is no reason to believe it is a hoax. http://www.endangerous.com/balloon3.jpg

It was totally a hoax, the mother admitted it to the police today - presumably so she can cut a deal with law enforcement and keep her butt out of jail. I'm thinking "epic fail" applies here :D

I went to the restaurant in the Spring of 2008. The dining experience was awesome. The food was fanastic and the service was excellent. We ordered a 1990 Chateau Lagrange (St. Julien) of the menu which was superb (James Suckling was absolutely correct!). The wine list was incredible - my girlfriend got impatient before I even got through the Bordeaux section! The wine prices were also among the most reasonable I have seen in a restaurant. This is an experience everyone should try.

Far Lands
|This page contains content that is no longer in the game.
The Far Lands terrain generation and most bugs and glitches were fixed as of Beta 1.8. However, the Far Lands exist in Pocket Edition.
Pocket Edition Only
The Far Lands[1] were the area that formed the "edge" of the "infinite" map in PC versions prior to Beta 1.8.
- 1 Spawning
- 2 Structure
- 3 Effects
- 4 History
- 5 Trivia
- 6 Gallery
- 7 See also
- 8 References
Far Lands generate starting from ±12,550,821 on any horizontal axis.
Both areas of the Far Lands feature extremely strange terrain, although they are significantly different. In both zones, any area beneath sea level, excluding regular caves, will be flooded with water.
Beyond X/Z of ±32,000,000 chunks are treated as permanently nonexistent, and will not generate, even though they may appear to. This value is hardcoded in the source code of Minecraft, meaning that it cannot be changed without editing the source files.
The Far Lands will generate biomes but most biomes will be indistinguishable except by the color of grass. Desert biomes will be covered in sand and snow-covered biomes will be covered with snow, excluding the very top of the map (because there's no space for the snow cover up there). Trees will generate somewhat normally, but can only be found in the upper areas of the map due to the need for grass. However, if you open the debug screen, the biome will always be forest.
Ores can be found up to their respective maximum heights just like in the normal world. Unfortunately, due to the flooding, everything except for coal is difficult, if not impossible, to acquire. In the solid areas of the Far Lands, normal caves will generate but will be limited and small. Along with the caves, dungeons (extremely rare) and lakes can be found in solid areas. Water and lava springs can be found out in the open and in caves.
Much of the open space in both areas is shrouded in darkness and thus hostile mobs run rampant, making the Far Lands as a whole incredibly dangerous. This is especially problematic in the Corner Far Lands due to its layered structure. The flooded zones are filled with squid.
In the Sky Dimension, the Far Lands are not half flooded with water and bedrock does not form at lower levels.
Edge Far Lands[edit]
The boundary of the Far Lands' edge (that is, where it meets the regular map) looks like a solid wall, all the way to the top of the map (Y-coordinate 127) that is filled with gaping holes perpendicular to the edge. These holes are extremely long, perhaps infinite, and on the whole seem to change very little no matter how deep the player ventures. They can be blocked, either partially or completely, but such blockages are rare and temporary. This "wall of Swiss cheese" pattern continues beneath ground level, all the way to the bottom of the map, and seems to be partially caused by a large one-dimensional distortion in the map generator's output. This area is sometimes referred to as "the Loop".
The Edge Far Lands' average block composition: 36% stone, 25% air, 23% water, 10% dirt/grass block, 2% bedrock, and 4% others. (Based on a 14×14 chunk selection)
Corner Far Lands[edit]
At a corner, when two perpendicular Edge Far Lands sections meet, the Corner Far Lands begin to generate. Unlike the infinite-length holes in the Edge Far Lands, the Corner Far Lands contains more normal terrain. This terrain is "stacked" on top of itself to create a bizarre sandwich with layers of ground and air, which gives it its nickname, "The Stack". Each layer looks like a gigantic floating continent, hovering over the next layer, which is shadowed.
The majority of the generated world is Corner Far Lands, as the "normal" map (before ±12,550,821 mark) only makes the center of the world, and the Edge Far Lands only makes its continued sides.
The number of layers isn't always the same, and varies between five to seven. Layers can be grouped into three categories:
- The top layer. This layer exists at the absolute top of the map. Occasionally there can be a lower area that isn't shadowed (this is technically a dry layer). The lower area is where a majority of the trees and passive mobs can be found, as the top layer receives almost all of the sunlight. Due to the lack of space the area at the absolute top can't have trees or mobs.
- The top layer tends to light incorrectly in day-night transitions. This is because the sunlight calculation doesn't work when the entire chunk is blocked at Y-coordinate 128.
- The dry layers. These generate slightly flatter than normal terrain and have grass, despite the darkness. At sea level massive floating beaches can be found, which will collapse if modified. Hostile mobs spawn rate likely approaches the maximum due to being in the shadow of the top layer. Rarely, there are holes in the top layer that allow sunlight to reach these layers. Caves that have one of these layers as their "surface" can occasionally be carved out of dirt instead of stone. These layers have cave-like ceilings made out of stone, gravel and dirt.
- The flooded layers. Like the dry layers, these generate somewhat flat terrain, but it is comprised primarily of stone. Sand and sandstone will show up down here, even up to 30 meters below sea level. Except for coal, all the ores can only be found in these layers.
Sometimes, there are extremely tall pillars of gravel that stretch from the ground to the ceiling of a layer. Likewise, some of the beaches that collapse will create pillars of sand all the way down to the ground, despite there not being that much sand to begin with. The Corner Far Lands is also prone to having near-perfect diagonal lines being carved into the ceilings or floors of layers. If traced, these lines all intersect at the corner (X/Z ±12,550,821). This seems similar to how the Edge Far Lands have a consistent pattern along lines perpendicular to their edge, but is much less pronounced.
The Corner Far Lands' average block composition: 40% stone, 16% air, 28% water, 10% dirt/grass, 2% bedrock, and 4% others. (Based on a 14×14 chunk selection)
The Nether[edit]
The Nether Far Lands are similar to Overworld Far Lands, except they generate with Nether features, such as lava ocean at Y=31.
In the Nether, the terrible lag associated with the Overworld Far Lands will not occur. This is because there are very few gravity-affected blocks in the Nether.
If a Nether portal is created in the Far Lands of the Overworld, entering will cause a teleportation to normal Nether, as X/Z 32,000,000, the limit at which block physics and lighting cease to function, divided by 8 (as 1 block in the nether corresponds to 8 blocks in the Overworld), is X/Z 4,000,000, within the limits of X/Z 12,550,820, where the distortion starts. Conversely, a Nether Portal built in the nether Far Lands will not function, as even at the limit of 12,550,820 blocks as the beginning of the Far Lands would cause the player to come out at X/Z 100,406,560, far past X/Z 32,000,000.
Pocket Edition[edit]
The Pocket Edition Far Lands are different from PC Far Lands, specifically:
- The content of Far Lands in Pocket Edition is slightly different in biomes and structure.
- One feature of the PE Far Lands is the Stripe Lands, a graphical bug.[2][3]
- In the Corner Far Lands, an extremely unusual grid pattern of grass blocks will appear instead of the ordinary "stack." Tall grass will spawn on these blocks. This results in a perfect three-dimensional array of grass blocks levitating high above the ocean.[4]
- Flying is the only way to navigate the Far Lands. Walking is impossible; the player will fall through the terrain and die.
- Any movement causes chunks to jitter about incredibly.
There are many effects that will be noticed after traveling millions of blocks away from the center of the map. The very first effect that will be noticed is the jumpy or stuttering movement of the map, which isn't directly related to the Far Lands themselves but instead to floating-point precision errors. This jumpy movement is notable even at an X/Z of ±500,000. Players will experience extreme framerate drops and very high CPU usage, which will continue until Minecraft freezes completely. The framerate drops do not occur in multiplayer servers, though it will, depending on the server computer's RAM, make the server itself lag. In both singleplayer and multiplayer, the intense lag that is characteristic of the Far Lands is caused by massive numbers of falling sand or gravel entities. This in turn is caused (like most of the rest of the Far Lands' strange effects) by more floating-point precision errors.
As the player journeys even deeper into the Far Lands, the effects worsen to the point where the game is unplayable. At X/Z ±32,000,000,[5] block physics stop functioning correctly. Lighting doesn't work and the blocks, although they appear to be there, aren't solid. If the player tries to walk on these blocks, he or she will fall into the Void. At excessive X/Z positions, world renderer no longer works, or takes incredibly long times and uses most, if not all CPU usage. It then becomes almost impossible to close Minecraft without a task manager.
Weather is not affected by the Far Lands directly but is by their terrain. Lightning bolts that hit surfaces at the top of the map (Y-coordinate 127) will be invisible and will not cause fire. The particles created when rain hits these surfaces will be black instead of blue. Snow will not accumulate on these surfaces either (because there's no space).
Map editors[edit]
When viewing the Far Lands in a 3D Minecraft map editor, you will encounter errors. In MCEdit, the selection cubes start to distort and the map distorts when viewing. In addition when rotating your view around a selected area, blocks will not be lined up right and will change how poorly lined up they are randomly, making the whole world seem to shake like a machine about to rattle itself to pieces.
Previous versions[edit]
In Infdev, although the Far Lands existed, many of the side effects didn't. However, fire particles and doors would act strange. There was no lag or stuttering movement, and beyond X/Z ±32,000,000, the blocks would simply not render. Walking off the edge would cause the player to become stuck in a glitched position, unable to escape.[6][7]
It has been confirmed that in Alpha v1.1.2, the blocks would not render beyond X/Z ±32,000,000, like older Infdev versions.[5] The fake chunks started appearing in Alpha 1.2.0.
In previous versions of the game, if you teleport as high as you possibly can, you are sent to a Y-Axis of 3.4x1038. In this zone, you float without a purpose, and dropped items will slide with what appears to be no friction before suddenly stopping after about 20 blocks. It has been reported that the X and Z-Axis sometimes flicker randomly in this zone. The memory pie chart also sometimes randomly jumps to 100% undefined memory usage, and then disappears upon re-entering the debug menu.
Pocket Edition effects[edit]
In Pocket Edition, the playable range is smaller than that of PC, because of the usage of 32-bit floating-point numbers (as opposed to 64-bit on PC).
- Gaps between chunks first begin to be noticeable at X/Z values above ±100,000. The selection box also experiences a lot more Z-fighting as it contracts (it can still rarely be found in the "normal" world).
- At around X/Z ±700,000 "jitteriness" is experienced and the world starts to become glitchy and unplayable. Chunks are seen to vibrate rapidly. [3]
- Past X/Z: ±900,000 the world becomes completely unplayable and crashes are very frequent at this point. [3]
- Within the Stripe Lands, if one comes in contact with water, the player will be thrown into the Void.[8]
|March 27, 2010
|First confirmed appearance of the Far Lands.
|Beyond X/Z of ±32,000,000, phantom chunks generate that can be fallen through. Previously, no blocks were rendered beyond this point, and players were stuck there.
|The Far Lands ceiling is unchanged as Beta 1.6 eliminates ability to normally place blocks at Y of 127.
|Due to changes in generation, Far Lands terrain is gone, as well as some bugs.
|Pocket Edition Alpha
|First appearance of the Far Lands.
- There is a chance of walking into a "bad chunk" that has such corrupt and unreadable data that it will cause huge lag spikes and possibly crash the game.
- When at the Far Lands, fences either have a thin wall collision box on one side, or no collision with mobs or the player.
- Even though Beta 1.6 made it impossible to place solid blocks at layer 128, the Far Lands' flat "ceiling" still gets generated there.
- Because of the debates over renaming endermen to "Far Landers," Notch jokingly suggested to rename the Far Lands to The End instead. This then became the name for the dimension where the Ender Dragon resides.[9]
- The Far Lands can cause a major decrease in FPS, freezing, and crashing, due to a high amount of internal errors, as well as the client having to deal with immense amounts of entities, both monsters and glitched sand/gravel entities. In addition, there is extra lag caused by the very high X/Z coordinates that the Far Lands exist at. This is also one of the main reasons that the Far Lands after X/Z ±32,000,000 would sometimes lag, despite the absence of any entities.
- Minecarts with chests will sometimes appear in phantom chunks, but as entities, they fall into the void shortly after they are generated.
- One of the random splashes read: "Check out the far lands!". Ironically, the splash was added to the game after the Far Lands were fixed.
- In Beta 1.7.3 and below:
- At excessive X/Z values, the corner lands are all flat.
- It is very dangerous to reach X/Z ±4,000,000,000 or higher, as the chances of crashing (assuming you have 64-bit Java) are extremely high, and get higher the farther you go.
- If one makes it to X/Z ±34,359,738,368 (chunk offset limit), chunks will start getting overwritten. As a result, this is the end of chunk generation in Minecraft.
- The highest value for 64-bit machines is X/Z ±9,223,372,036,854,775,807. However, despite this being the limit any machine can go, it may not be possible to reach anywhere near this point, since the vast majority of people experience instant client freeze, followed by the client crashing, and might require unhooking the computer to restart as it freezes so much the power button does not even work. If teleported there, the screen will display completely black with no sun and oddly glowing clouds.
Offset bugs[edit]
Particles are offset. String and redstone appear to be stretched out.
Piston powered on the side. The arm is stretched out, nonetheless the hit box is still the same.
Piston powered up. Note the arm is now a full block.

I must say I didn't really miss our traditional Christmas which surprised me a bit as I am a bit of a tradionalist. The only other Christmas I have not spent in my own home was the year I qualified when I had just qualified and was on call at St Mary's - but that was my first Christmas with Lyn and so although different was special. I think it is because it doesn't really feel like Christmas. It's warm with long days and things seems to have ground to a halt - for New Zealanders this is their summer holiday period as well as Christmas and very many people are now off work for several weeks. The city, instead of being thronged with people is now empty - it is the same across New Zealand. People have deserted their homes for holiday baches, campsites or foreign holidays. Radio and TV , rather than being full of Christmas and New Year programmes are called 'Summer..' something or other or have completely stopped for 3-4 weeks. It's like the Today programme, the Archers, Breakfast TV etc all stopping during August. Everyone really is on holiday.
Sizzling Summer in Southland? That was an oxymoron before we arrived but it is true. The temperature the other day soared to 31 degrees. We have been told by many people that February is the best month - unfortunately we will be in the UK, at least for part of that time. Meanwhile, along with the rest of the New Zealand population we are making the most of the summer with lots of walks and golf and al fresco eating. It's a long way to come, but well, well worth it and we have only seen a third of it so far. Good as gold!
Trivia - whose heard of Burt Monro?
A few weekends ago was Burt Monro weekend. Burt (real name Herbert) was motor-cycle racer from Invercargill who bought an 'Indian Scout' Bike for �143 (they were pounds in those days) and spent the rest of his life modifying it and attempting to break the World Speed record starting in NZ and Oreti Beach but subsequently moving to Bonneville Salt Lakes in the USA.
Hope your 2009 is like a box of fluffies - Happy New Year!
hope you had a good birthday
Very impressed with the golf bags! am looking forward to seeing your swing. But do not become too obsessed as we seem to be surrounded by golf widows and widowers.
Did try to get in touch over your birthday, Lyn but where no joy. You have obviously been away somewhere sunny. Hope it was good. look forward to celebrating at the end of the month.
Hvae a good week. Keep 'em coming
Nora and Kevin

I hope John puts in a new recorded version of "Comin Down The Road", my favorite song of Mr Fogerty's! The original recording was not that great.
Who takes Shane's place in the lineup?
John and company play over 20 songs for 2 hours and 20 minutes. I think the HD 48khz 24bit is worth $20+ Great choice John!
-CD Flac 44.1khz 16 bit
-HD Flac 48khz 24 bit
Whoa, I want to win a autographed vinyl copy of WASFE!
When is the next contest?
Perhaps, ask What brand was John's first guitar? No, it's not Tom Hank's company, Playtone, but its close.
John could be charging $200 for his front level seats. Keep in mind, costs for everything has been increasing, that means gas for buses,trucks, salaries for road crew, percentage for promoter/touring company, venue costs.
You have the Rolling Stones to thank for this! Their current tour lists a floor seat in the back for $650. John's tour is reasonably priced and matches fellow artists like Mellencamp, Petty etc.
I also hope the plaid shirt with the VIP packet is the same one as with the platium WASFE bundle. Love those colors!
Front row tickets were available all day Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ticketmaster show site. You just had to chose the option "Pick the seats for me" and select Front Row VIP Package. Using the "Choose My Own Seats" did not include the first 3 three Pit Rows (AA-CC), Row A in Orchestra is actually row 4.

An Illinois man who describes himself as a movie buff was charged Friday with violating studio copyrights by leaking films such as ''The Last Samurai'' to the Internet, according to published reports. After a federal court appearance, Russell Sprague, 51, admitted to the Chicago Tribune that he made copies of Oscar screeners (advance home video copies of movies contending for Academy Awards) belonging to a friend, actor Carmine Carmidi. ''I didn't make copies to make money,'' Sprague told the Tribune.
Sprague, who in 1981 faced copyright violation charges that were dismissed, told the Los Angeles Times he had ''zero idea'' how the screeners leaked to the Internet. If convicted of the new charges, Sprague could be sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences imposed a ban on Oscar screeners last year, citing fears of online piracy. The academy lifted the ban after independent filmmakers complained it would devastate their chances for awards.

Okay, so being 23 wasn't my best year ever. But I am still marking this as complete because I've found out a lot of things about me and what I want in this little old world. So in a way…it has been great because I've found out where I want to be. I think.
Now I am moving onto being 24 and I am going to set myself specific things to try and sort out rather than a a vague 'have the best year ever' goal. Wish me luck!

|When Frugal Meets Fashionable
When Frugal Meets Fashionable
Finding the perfect fit doesn't have to mean a bank-breaking charge. One local woman offers advice on how you can get the designer deals she uses to fill her wardrobe.
We all want the designer look without the designer price. Smart shopper Nicole Hopper has cracked the code to unlocking deals and steals on fashions, and she's passing her secrets on to you.
Hopper isn't a professional personal shopper, but she has gained her expertise by being a volunteer personal shopper for her friends and family. She has saved them money, which is one reason why she doesn't want to go pro. Charging money for her services would cancel out her cost-effective methods. But that doesn't stop her from lending a helping hint.
"Being a smart shopper enables me to have the things that I want in life without breaking the bank," Hopper says. "I feel like, because I take the time to clip the coupons and search the deal, it can afford me the luxuries that a lot of other people perhaps couldn't afford." So for a look that makes you feel good without the guilt of charging another expensive purchase to your account, follow Hopper's advice on being a fashionable frugalista.
Know What You Want
Hopper "specializes" in designer jeans. "I've gotten really good at knowing my brands and knowing how they fit differently for different people," she says. No matter how perfect the fit, however, the price of high-end jeans generally is far from perfection, so Hopper looks to the Internet to make that $300 price tag go down to $39.99, she says.
Before heading to a computer, though, Hopper shares the key to her shopping savvy: know exactly what you want. Go into a high-end jeans store and find exactly what you want. Narrow your selection down to one or two specific pairs of jeans.
Once you've selected your objects of affection, mark down all of the information you can find about those jeans — style code, color code, name, brand, everything, Hopper says. (Note: this process can be applied to clothes outside the denim realm.) The more specific you are in what you're looking for, generally the easier it will be to find.
Start Specific and Pull Back
After she has the product information in-hand, Hopper will head to eBay. While she uses other sites to find discounted items, Hopper generally uses eBay for more specific pieces.
She plugs in the information she has to see how the specific item description has been phrased. The more descriptive products generally have a higher price tag because everyone looks at them, Hopper says. So she pulls her search back out and puts in a more vague description. "That's how typically I will get the better deals is if they're described by somebody who, for lack of a better phrase, doesn't really know what they're doing, doesn't really know how to list items, doesn't really have a lot of experience online," Hopper says.
Other Helpful Hints
Besides eBay, Hopper looks for deals on Overstock.com, Land's End Overstocks and Amazon.com, though she doesn't look to Amazon for fashion finds. She also gets great deals with Gap. "I don't have many credit cards but Gap is one that is forever offering specials. They forever offer free shipping and 25 percent off, and they're pretty much giving their stuff away anymore," Hopper says.
For deals in general, Hopper finds coupon codes before she ever makes an online purchase. She will plug in the retailer's name and "coupon code" into Google, and more often than not, she receives some sort of discount, from 20 percent off to free shipping. "The chances of you getting a coupon code for a retailer online is very high. So everybody should do that. Everybody should know about that," she says.

Mid-Life 2! The Crisis Continues
Mid-Life 2! The Crisis Continues: New Musical Comedy
Full Price
$45.00 - $53.00
Our Price
This brand new sequel to the hit Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical promises more of the sharp-witted songs and comedy sketches that made the 2008 Actors' Playhouse production such a critical and popular success. After all, nobody's getting any younger, so there are still plenty of middle-aged moments to skewer, including the increasing trips to the doctor, the trials and tribulations of the golf widow, the horrifying realization that you now qualify for the senior discount and much more. Jim and Bob Walton penned the first edition of the show and follow up with more clever tunes and scenes for this latest revue.

12m. Climb up into the back of the gloomy recess then hand traverse the overhanging right-hand wall. Swing round the arete and finish more easily.
Quite an intimidating traverse out from the back of the cave, but on excellent holds, and it is possible to bridge some of the moves. Just as hard to second as it is to lead!
bit like a VS seperate reality.

AARC is a Partner in the Year of the Lung initiative. We have joined in a movement with other pulmonary organizations around the world in one mission: to educate and promote lung care initiatives.
August—Back to School with Pulmonary Hygiene
School may still be out, but as the summer winds down, parents and children are thinking about going back to school. For our pediatric patients with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions, that means a greater risk of infections as they once again come together in close quarters that just naturally foster the spread of colds and the flu.
As respiratory therapists, we can make a difference by educating our patients/families now about the things they can do to cut down on these infections this school year. Here are some great resources you can use to tie your Year of the Lung activities to the need for good pulmonary hygiene in the classroom—

Consolidated Communications Shares Decline
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ¿ Shares of telecommunications-service provider Consolidated Communications Holdings Inc. fell Monday after a Raymond James analyst downgraded shares to "Market Perform" from "Outperform," citing a recent increase in the stock's value.
The company's shares fell 62 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $16.68.
In a client note, Raymond James analyst Frank G. Louthan IV said the company's shares have risen "significantly" in the past few weeks and are up 53 percent year-to-date ¿ much higher than the average increase of its peers' shares.
"With the stock up 53 percent year-to-date, compared to the market up 19 percent, we do not expect similar levels of outperformance going forward," he said.Louthan said that Consolidated Communications' plans for IPTV, or Internet protocol television ¿ a technology that can deliver television content over the Internet ¿ and the possibility that it will be involved in some energy-related projects will help its sales over time. The near-term benefit from these initiatives to the company is already factored into the share price, though, he added.
