We've all heard some version of the following…
"Content drives engagement."
"It's the glue that holds together your community."
"It drives people to buy what you're selling."
All true…
…but not necessarily helpful on their own.
Especially given the fact that the hard part is usually figuring out how "creating content" translates into an overall strategy.
First off, it helps to first understand that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.
That does not mean, however, that you should just create content without any kind of guiding framework.
To do this, most people categorize content by format (ie blog, infographic, video, etc).
Although totally logical, I find this approach can lead to creating the same kind of content over and over again without much thought as to its overall business purpose.
Another way to approach this problem is to separate content into three categories: Original, co-created, and curated. Doing this will give you a much clearer look at the role each piece plays in driving interaction within your community.
The rest of this post describes each type of content, how it helps you build a community, and a few suggestions on how to start the creation process.
This is content you either create yourself or hire someone to make for you.
It can be found in many forms – from blogs to free giveaways to videos to premium products like courses or ebooks.
What This Kind of Content Accomplishes:
How to Get Started:
It helps to visit a blog directory like alltop.com and search popular sites in your niche.
Look for problems that keep coming up.
Leave comments on other people's posts and strike up conversations with people in online forums and on social media.
Ask questions.
Once you've identified some of the key things your audience is struggling with, develop content that provides a solution.
This is content created in collaboration with others in your community.
It can come from customers, influencers, or sometimes even competitors.
It includes content others create under your brand, but also stuff that you might create under someone else's (such as guest blogging on another site).
What This Kind of Content Accomplishes:
How to Get Started:
The most basic form of this content is the testimonial – a time-tested necessity for any business.
But in recent times, marketers are finding all kinds of savvy ways to co-create content.
Take Taco Bell for example.
The company is a great study on how to do social media marketing right, and their use of co-created content is absolutely amazing.
In just one example, they sent hand written notes to B List celebrities, along with wearable Taco Bell related items (check out the costume they made for singer Brian Logan Dales after he Tweeted about needing one).
Predictably, every single one of these celebrities Tweeted, Instagramed, Facebooked, and otherwise totally shared the branded content – all to the same target audience of young people that Taco Bell makes most of its money from.
Of course, when you're first getting going, you should stick to the basics.
Start with guest blogging on established sites in your niche.
From there you might consider starting a podcast or webinar series featuring key members of your community.
Pick a few people who you want as evangelists for your brand and ask them to take part.
But don't steal the show…
If you use this process as a way to highlight THEM, these potential evangelists will be much more likely to share your branded content.
Everyone wins!
This is content created by others; you find it and then share with your community.
It could come from competitors, colleagues, or even some totally random source.
What This Kind of Content Accomplishes:
How to Get Started:
First off, you shouldn't send things just to send them.
Don't retweet or email everything that has some tiny bit of relevance.
Spend time figuring out where the gold is.
If you think about it, this is actually a valuable service for people…
There is so much bad advice out there, it can be hard to figure out what to follow. Think of yourself as a filter for the junk.
Lastly, when you share this kind of content with your community, make sure to provide a bit of context on why you think it's important.
You'll seem less like a spambot and more like the awesome person that you actually are!
Putting it All Together
As I said before, there's no perfect formula for knowing what kind of content you should create.
Try using the leaders in your niche as a starting point. See what they do that works and try to put your own spin on it.
But to really figure out what motivates your audience, you sometimes just have to create stuff and test it out.
Remember also that no matter what kind of content you are creating, the focus should be on making content that is useful to the reader and that moves them emotionally.
Pretty soon you'll find the right mix that makes your customers go wild.
good post and sound advice
Fantastic article, Jake.
You certainly did hit on the 3 staple kinds of content. One of my favorite and the easiest kind of content to create is curated content.
I used to publish weekly link roundups regularly on my blog, however, I've not published any in a while. When I did, they kept a steady stream of extra social traffic coming to my blog.
I'm def going to begin publishing them again, but this time on a monthly basis as they're easier to keep up with.
Thanks for writing up this article for us. I found your blog via your guest post on Jon Morrow's blog.
Glad to see that your own content here is a great at your guest post. I'll be sure to share this article with my social circle as well.
~ Ti
Nice article, Jake! I really like how you've zeroed in on what each type of content can do for a business and how to move forward from the starting line.
Excellent point at the end, too. It takes some experimentation and time to figure out the right mix of content readers will respond to.
Hi Jake,
Sometimes, it's hard to know what your audience wants, unless they tell you.
Going to Blogger Scope can surely help as well as forums.
Good points made on each type of content. I have followed the leaders on what to blog about and that works for me.
Great article.

text: What a day! Longest travel day ever. Having been out of school for two weeks now, the 7:20 AM alarm was like the gunshot at the beginning of a race. We piled into the van by 8:30 and set out to see the French Broad, which was a historic waterway during the 1800s. Dr. Carpenter then told us that the river flowed all the way to Louisiana to the Gulf, which was crazy for me to imagine. Then Dr. Basinger explained to us the native bird songs like the chirp-chirp and how the male birds use this to attract the females. Then, we set off onto the winding roads up the Great Smokey Mountains exploring elevations starting at 2,930 feet and checking out waterfalls, plants, and trees. We also collected several amphibious species and insects until we got up to Devil's Courthouse where we took a hike all the way up to 5,720 feet, which was really cool looking over the peak seeing the forestry and how it stretched throughout the mountain and into other states like Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. These sites were amazing to see, and we even had the pleasure of having a low-calorie lunch break at the Devil's Courthouse, which was just fun for us all.


text: Its maybe possible to do something like: ./configure --with-features=tiny --disable-nls \ --with-vim-name=vim.tiny --with-ex-name=ex.tiny \ --with-view-name=view.tiny --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin with Vim. It will install the 'xxd' (hexdump) program to /bin, while a normal installation will install a second 'xxd' to /usr/bin. share/vim/vim70/ is still 17MB, so there's no help there, but vim itself will be about seven times smaller. The tiny version of Vim doesn't link to libdl.so. Also, at: http://www.bostic.com/vi/ is the Berkeley version of the Vi editor. Its installed as 'nvi'. And then there's Elvis: ftp://ftp.cs.pdx.edu/pub/elvis/README.html Elvis is about the size of vim.tiny, but seems to have dns support too (its linked to libresolv.so). I don't really like the idea of installing two editors of the same clone, but personally Elvis is fine for me because I don't use the extra features of Vim. I'm not sure how comprehensive Elvis' native language support is, but I am able to read/write some utf8 characters with it. There are no patches against Elvis since 2003, so I'm assuming it's fairly stable. robert On Saturday 10 February 2007 04:19, Aki Tuomi wrote: > Perhaps just 'vi' is enough?

In his plea agreement, Alexander admitted that he stole money from each restaurant and, in the process, threatened employees with a firearm. On September 19, 2010, Alexander stole approximately $1,882 from the Winona McDonalds; on June 15, 2011, approximately $1,851 from the Byron McDonalds; and on June 26, 2011, approximately $2,740 from the Rochester McDonalds. For the Winona and Byron robberies, Alexander worked with an accomplice, and during the Byron robbery, he discharged a firearm. He also admitted that in all three robberies, he stole personal property belonging to the victims, who were restaurant employees. Moreover, he physically restrained the victims during the robberies by locking them in the restaurants walk-in coolers.
A law enforcement affidavit filed in the case states that on September 19, 2010, employees at the Winona McDonalds reported they had been approached by two masked men as they entered the restaurant shortly after 4:00 a.m. One of the men was armed with a pistol. After obtaining the combination for the safe from an employee, the men opened it, took the employees wallets and cell phones, and ordered the employees into the walk-in cooler. When the employees exited the cooler approximately 20 minutes later, the robbers were gone, having stolen money from the safe.
On September 20, 2010, during an unrelated investigation, police found receipts for the purchase of masks similar to those used during the Winona robbery. Surveillance videos at the retail outlet where the masks were purchased show a man, later identified as Alexander, buying those masks.
On June 15, 2011, the Byron McDonalds was robbed in a similar fashion, in the early morning hours. Then, on June 26, 2011, the Rochester McDonalds was robbed by Alexander, acting alone. After that robbery, the police traveled to Alexanders residence, where they found him in his vehicle. Officers also found cash lying on the floor of the back seat. They seized a gun, a plastic bag containing numerous rounds of ammunition, a couple McDonalds bags, and clothing that matched those worn by the robber in these cases. At that point, Alexander was arrested.
On October 2, 2012, Quiana Shaneea Evans, age 30, of Rochester, Alexanders female accomplice in the Byron McDonalds robbery, pleaded guilty to one count of interference with commerce by robbery and one count of aiding and abetting the use, carrying, possessing, and discharging of a firearm. She is pending sentencing in that case. Alexanders accomplice in the Winona robbery has yet to be arrested.
This case was the result of an investigation by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Rochester and Winona police departments, and the Olmsted County Sheriffs Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas M. Hollenhorst.

Ok so I recently got some 'John's' rooted elderberry cuttings from a trade. Came in pretty good shape and in great quantity.
And I'm pretty sure they are hard wood cuttings. Anyways heres what they look like: The cuttings are about 7in tall, and theyre all growing like that on the bottom. This is the first time I've ever done anything with rooting cuttings (besides mint, but that a piece of cake) and am a bit confused with whats grown out of this cutting so far. Does anyone see the long white growth going up? Is that a root? or the new plant growth? Cause I just kinda figured it would branch out on the top of the cutting. But it kinda looks a bud broke on the cutting and that but is growing both roots downward as well as the new green growth upwards. Help me out with this? Thanks. Heres what I did with the cuttings: Is this right? There in a sand peat mix I think? Anyways, it drains good. Also, this is unrelated to anything above. I have a wild elderberry growing around my home. And am trying to root softwood cuttings in water as someone told me its possible. Heres what they look like so far: All that new growth coming out of the nodes is new obviously. But I havent seen any roots coming out of the bottom node area which is submerged in water. Will I soon? or ever? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
The white "growth" coming from the bottom are roots. These look a lot like water roots, which are very fragile. |
- Posted by oregonwoodsmoke 5 OR (My Page) on Fri, Jul 23, 10 at 12:55
When placing a cutting started in water into soil, you must be extremely gentle, so that you don't break the roots. Your cuttings are alive, and the water roots are small, so they should move to soil OK. Keep the tops misted and the soil damp, but not soggy, and cross your fingers. It helps if you can put some sort of cover over the cuttings to hold the moist air around the tops. Then you have to take that top off every day and let the cuttings air out. If you see any sign of mold or mildew, spray with a gentle fungicide immediately and increase the amount of time each day with the cover off. You will probably get leaves long before there is a root system, so just keep tending to the cuttings and be patient. |
oregon wood smoke.. are you talking about the cuttings in water? Cause they dont have any roots I dont think. |
- Posted by oregonwoodsmoke 5 OR (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 3:47
No, I was talking about your rooted cuttings. I agree with xentar that those look like water roots. The cuttings that you are trying to start in water might be better off started in soil. The water roots don't transplant easily. You have to persist with cuttings. Often they get leaves before roots. I have also had them loose all their leaves and look like they died, only to have them start a new batch of leaves once they root. I don't give up on them until they are crispy critters. I just had a willow, which has been a leafless green stick for 6 months, decide to produce some leaves. Because it didn't snap in half like a toothpick when touched, I just kept watering it and taking care of it. If you want to start those wild cuttings in water, move them into soil the second you see roots appear. Good luck with it. |
alright thank you. |

Gilbert Christian Knights
Division VI, Section III
Coach: Jeff Cook
Record last year: First varsity season (7-1 playing a junior varsity schedule)
Returning starters offense: 6, including receiver/wingback Saile Dainwood. The sophomore will play a big role in the Knights' single-wing offense. He's a threat running or receiving and should put up plenty of yards in the wide-open 8-man game.
Returning starters defense: 6, including one of the few seniors on the roster, Mason Cook. At 5-10, 225 pounds, Cook is the perfect size to play noseguard and has the quickness off the line to wreak havoc if teams try to run up the middle.
Aug. 26 at Salt River; Sept. 2 vs. Veritas Prep; Sept. 9 at Superior; Sept. 16 vs. Valley Lutheran; Sept. 23 vs. Scottsdale Prep; Sept. 30 at Chandler Prep; Oct. 6 vs. Cibecue; Oct. 14 at Ash Fork.
Key Games
Sept. 9 at Superior: This game will be the first real test to see how the Knights stack up against a regular playoff team in Div. VI (formerly 1A).
Sept. 16 vs. Valley Lutheran: The Flames were a semifinal team a year ago and feature running back Dimitri O'Brien, who rushed for over 2,000 yards as a junior. A win over Superior would be huge, a win against Valley Lutheran would be epic for a program in its first season.
Oct. 14 at Ash Fork: If there is a playoff berth at stake, this 5-hour bus ride should do wonders for the Knights' team chemistry. The Spartans were winless in 2010, but the long trip and the possibility of cold weather will be a good test of the Knights mental toughness.
The Knights enter the first full varsity campaign with a lot to prove.
First, they want to prove to themselves that they are ready to compete as a varsity team in Division VI (formerly 1A). Second, and perhaps most importantly, they want to prove to others in their own school that the football program is going to be as serious about winning as the basketball program.
"It's very important for us to come out and show that we are taking this sport seriously," coach Jeff Cook said. "We want to change the mindset of the school."
The Knights have grown into a basketball powerhouse at the small school level, but the fledgling football program is starting out with just 16 players. The theory, Cook said, is that if this team comes out and does well in its first season, some of the basketball players who are shying away from football at the moment will want in on the gridiron action.
Cook will bring a young, but relatively seasoned group to the field this year. He said many of the freshmen and sophomores on the team, including backs Saile Dainwood and Nolan Cook, both sophomores, have been playing football year-round for the last couple years.
The third member of the Cook family on the team, senior two-way lineman Mason Cook, will provide the leadership for the young players.

What is the good life? While most people would prefer health, affluence, and freedom, different individuals might have significantly different priorities. Dying is also a phase of living, and death is the outcome. Most people want to have both a good life and a good death. This presentation explores some of the many and varied definitions of a "good death."
Laughter can be a powerful tool for decreasing stress and improving health and well-being. Come learn about different theories on humor, the many benefits of laughter, and various ways laughter can be integrated into everyday life.
GLBT individuals vividly remember the first time they "came out' to another person. This is often described as one of the most difficult events in their lives, surrounded by fear and anxiety about this life step. While others may view this as an isolated event, GLBT folks know it is an ongoing, life-long process, filled with both joy and sorrow. This experiential session will discuss the implications of "coming out" as GLBT, the grief and loss issues surrounding this important process, and how friends, family, and counselors can be sensitive toward GLBT individuals who are initiating this process.

Yes I know it's pretty weird but after undergoing breast cancer treatment my first follow up mammogram was scheduled on Halloween in 2011 so to make it a fun thing instead of scarey, I put a couple of those window clingy things on each of my boobs before unrobing for the mammogram. They were a pair of green monster hands with long red fingernails. The technician just died laughing and so it began... Last year I threaded a ribbon through 2 paper mache skull masks and tied them on like those coconut bras. Again it was a hit and she recalled last yrs tech talking about me. Sooooo, I am drawing a blank for this year. Walked around Michaels but couldn't find anything that would work because you can't glue or paint or write on the girls because of affecting the image so do you crafty, creative minds have any ideas? I can put it on in the changing room under the robe. Please help! |

I thought these were two separate species and that I would need to buy 2 of each for best fruiting. However, on a government site they list our native elderberry (U.S.) as "Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis."
Does this mean I could buy one canadensis and one nigra and have good fruit set? Thanks! |

These are two closely related species, one native to Europe (S. nigra) and the other (S. canadensis) native to North America. I have the black elder, and it sets flowers and fruit almost all year round with no help from any other plant. There are other Sambucus species, most of which are poisonous. |
USDA has now lomped S. canadensis under S. nigra. Another species goes extinct. |

text: and now I'm sad:( Seriously. When I first started watching it online a few months ago I just thought it was some little typical teen show(with a little lesbian twist) and I didn't have high hopes for it but it's been SO much more and honestly it's meant a lot to me. It's gotten me through some tough moments over the past few months. Now it sucks that it's all over and there are no more new episodes left for me to watch.

Ah, boobs. On a good day they look gorgeous, make us feel womanly and sexy, and perhaps even feed a baby. But on a bad day, they're sensitive to the touch, totally difficult to keep under wraps, and amongst the more well-endowed ladies, give us an aching back. I have average-sized boobs myself, but I've heard many a big-breasted lady say again and again that her boobs are killing her. Plenty of women even undergo breast reduction surgery.
With that in mind, here's something I'll never understood: the small group of women with with cup sizes in the middle reaches of the alphabet, who vie for the title of "world's largest breasts." Keep reading »

Swimmer Michael Phelps officially became the most decorated Olympian of all time Tuesday night, breaking a 48-year record.
Phelps won his 19th medal in the 4x200 meter freestyle relay.
"It has been a pretty amazing career but we still have a couple races to go," he said.
His training partner, American Allison Schmitt, won the 200 meter freestyle with a performance that left everyone else, including teammate Missy Franklin, far behind.
Meanwhile, the U.S. women's gymnastics team, dubbed the "Fab Five," lived up to their top spot in the rankings. The women won America's first women's gymnastics team gold since 1996.
Currently, the United States and China are still tied in the overall medal count, both with 23.

Support The School for Human Rights! A combined middle and high school, The School for Human Rights in Brooklyn offers an integrated academic and social skills-based curriculum to challenge its students to think critically and become compassionate, socially engaged young adults committed to the practice of equity, dignity and social consciousness.

HREA is proud to be the lead partner of The School for Human Rights and supports teachers and other staff with resources and professional development. Interview with 9th grade Social Studies teacher Latoya Massey (Article 26, Amnesty International-USA's Human Rights Education Newsletter, October 2005) Paula Lettiere, 4th year English Language Arts teacher, reflects on year one at the School for Human Rights (Article 26, October 2005) The Importance of Collaboration: How You Can Support the School for Human Rights (article by Jessamyn Waldman in Article 26, October 2005) What it means to have a school-based approach to human rights education and a human rights-based approach to schooling (article by Felisa Tibbitts in Article 26, October 2005) In September 2005 the School started its second year of operation and will have well over 180 students. The School can look back at a successful first year with teaching practices that infuse human rights and extra-curricular activities like film festivals, workshops with human rights defenders, and celebrations of international days such as Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom Ha-Shoah). The School is funded in part by a grant from New Visions for Public Schools, an education reform foundation dedicated to improving the quality of education in New York City's public schools.

Dialogues of Innovation: The January Term
Formally titled the Dialogues of Innovation, but more commonly known as the January Term, or J-Term, this mini-term is all about creative learning through special projects, study abroad and internships.
The Dialogues of Innovation is a specially designed educational component that provides intensive and innovative learning experiences outside the traditional academic setting. The goal of the Dialogues of Innovation is to provide students with exciting experiences that expand and deepen their understanding of their major, or another field that interests them.
The January Term
During the four undergraduate years, students will successfully complete one course in each January Term that will focus on innovative ideas, topics and experiential learning opportunities. The J-Term curriculum consists of a variety of interdisciplinary offerings and also includes opportunities for internships, workshops and other forms of experiential learning.
Students have had the opportunity, during the J-Term, to take such imaginative classes as:
- performing an off-Broadway production in New York City.
- studying and attending the presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C..
- interning with the ESPN X Games in Aspen.
- learning how to start a business on a shoestring budget.
- studying the connections between humans and the Atlantic ocean.
- discovering what it's really like to be a teacher in the school system.
Symposium on Innovation
During the January Term, the university offers a Symposium on Innovation, which includes theorists and practitioners who are actively involved in creating new ideas, approaches and practices in their respective fields. Students are able to interact with influential and innovative speakers on campus during this time. Past speakers and topics include renowned futurist Andrew Zolli, who spoke with students about exploring the road ahead through excellence and innovation; Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes, Inc. Blake Mycoski, who shared with students ideas about how they can make a difference in the world through business and other endeavors; respected author and Professor of Politics and African American studies Melissa Harris-Lacewell, who discussed the significance of race in U.S. politics; and political analyst Daniel Silke, who engaged students in a dialogue about emerging democracies in South Africa.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Message on Moab from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: "Doom to Nebo! Leveled to the ground! Kiriathaim demeaned and defeated, The mighty fortress reduced to a molehill, | 1 Concerning Moab: This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered. |
2 Moab's glory - dust and ashes. Conspirators plot Heshbon's doom: 'Come, let's wipe Moab off the map.' Dungface Dimon will loudly lament, as killing follows killing. | 2 Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon men will plot her downfall: 'Come, let us put an end to that nation.' You too, O Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. |
3 Listen! A cry out of Horonaim: 'Disaster - doom and more doom!' | 3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction. |
4 Moab will be shattered. Her cries will be heard clear down in Zoar. | 4 Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out. |
5 Up the ascent of Luhith climbers weep, And down the descent from Horonaim, cries of loss and devastation. | 5 They go up the way to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard. |
6 Oh, run for your lives! Get out while you can! Survive by your wits in the wild! | 6 Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert. |
7 You trusted in thick walls and big money, yes? But it won't help you now. Your big god Chemosh will be hauled off, his priests and managers with him. | 7 Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. |
8 A wrecker will wreck every city. Not a city will survive. The valley fields will be ruined, the plateau pastures destroyed, just as I told you. | 8 The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the LORD has spoken. |
9 Cover the land of Moab with salt. Make sure nothing ever grows here again. Her towns will all be ghost towns. Nobody will ever live here again. | 9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her towns will become desolate, with no one to live in them. |
10 Sloppy work in God's name is cursed, and cursed all halfhearted use of the sword. | 10 "A curse on him who is lax in doing the LORD's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed! |
11 "Moab has always taken it easy - lazy as a dog in the sun, Never had to work for a living, never faced any trouble, Never had to grow up, never once worked up a sweat. | 11 "Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another-- she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. |
12 But those days are a thing of the past. I'll put him to work at hard labor. That will wake him up to the world of hard knocks. That will smash his illusions. | 12 But days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will send men who pour from jars, and they will pour her out; they will empty her jars and smash her jugs. |
13 Moab will be as ashamed of god Chemosh as Israel was ashamed of her Bethel calf-gods, the calf-gods she thought were so great. | 13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel. |
14 For how long do you think you'll be saying, 'We're tough. We can beat anyone anywhere'? | 14 "How can you say, 'We are warriors, men valiant in battle'? |
15 The destruction of Moab has already begun. Her choice young soldiers are lying dead right now." The King's Decree - his full name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies. | 15 Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter," declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty. |
16 "Yes. Moab's doom is on countdown, disaster targeted and launched. | 16 "The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly. |
17 Weep for Moab, friends and neighbors, all who know how famous he's been. Lament, 'His mighty scepter snapped in two like a toothpick, that magnificent royal staff!' | 17 Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say, 'How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff !' |
18 "Come down from your high horse, pampered beauty of Dibon. Sit in dog dung. The destroyer of Moab will come against you. He'll wreck your safe, secure houses. | 18 "Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitants of the Daughter of Dibon, for he who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities. |
19 Stand on the roadside, pampered women of Aroer. Interview the refugees who are running away. Ask them, 'What's happened? And why?' | 19 Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them, 'What has happened?' |
20 Moab will be an embarrassing memory, nothing left of the place. Wail and weep your eyes out! Tell the bad news along the Arnon river. Tell the world that Moab is no more. | 20 Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. |
21 "My judgment will come to the plateau cities: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath; | 21 Judgment has come to the plateau-- to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath, |
22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim; | 22 to Dibon, Nebo and Beth Diblathaim, |
23 on Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon; | 23 to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, |
24 on Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the cities of Moab, far and near. | 24 to Kerioth and Bozrah-- to all the towns of Moab, far and near. |
25 "Moab's link to power is severed. Moab's arm is broken." God's Decree. The Sheer Nothingness of Moab | 25 Moab's horn is cut off; her arm is broken," declares the LORD. |
26 "Turn Moab into a drunken sot, drunk on the wine of my wrath, a dung-faced drunk, filling the country with vomit - Moab a falling-down drunk, a joke in bad taste. | 26 "Make her drunk, for she has defied the LORD. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule. |
27 Wasn't it you, Moab, who made crude jokes over Israel? And when they were caught in bad company, didn't you cluck and gossip and snicker? | 27 Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her? |
28 "Leave town! Leave! Look for a home in the cliffs, you who grew up in Moab. Try living like a dove who nests high in the river gorge. | 28 Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks, you who live in Moab. Be like a dove that makes its nest at the mouth of a cave. |
29 "We've all heard of Moab's pride, that legendary pride, The strutting, bullying, puffed-up pride, the insufferable arrogance. | 29 "We have heard of Moab's pride-- her overweening pride and conceit, her pride and arrogance and the haughtiness of her heart. |
30 I know" - God's Decree - "his rooster-crowing pride, the inflated claims, the sheer nothingness of Moab. | 30 I know her insolence but it is futile," declares the LORD, "and her boasts accomplish nothing. |
31 But I will weep for Moab, yes, I will mourn for the people of Moab. I will even mourn for the people of Kir-heres. | 31 Therefore I wail over Moab, for all Moab I cry out, I moan for the men of Kir Hareseth. |
32 I'll weep for the grapevines of Sibmah and join Jazer in her weeping - Grapevines that once reached the Dead Sea with tendrils as far as Jazer. Your summer fruit and your bursting grapes will be looted by brutal plunderers, | 32 I weep for you, as Jazer weeps, O vines of Sibmah. Your branches spread as far as the sea; they reached as far as the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your ripened fruit and grapes. |
33 Lush Moab stripped of song and laughter. And yes, I'll shut down the winepresses, stop all the shouts and hurrahs of harvest. | 33 Joy and gladness are gone from the orchards and fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy. Although there are shouts, they are not shouts of joy. |
34 "Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, and the people in Jahaz will hear the cries. They will hear them all the way from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim will be dried up. | 34 "The sound of their cry rises from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz, from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up. |
35 "I will put a stop in Moab" - God's Decree - "to all hiking to the high places to offer burnt sacrifices to the gods. | 35 In Moab I will put an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods," declares the LORD. |
36 "My heart moans for Moab, for the men of Kir-heres, like soft flute sounds carried by the wind. They've lost it all. They've got nothing. | 36 "So my heart laments for Moab like a flute; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone. |
37 "Everywhere you look are signs of mourning: heads shaved, beards cut, Hands scratched and bleeding, clothes ripped and torn. | 37 Every head is shaved and every beard cut off; every hand is slashed and every waist is covered with sackcloth. |
38 "In every house in Moab there'll be loud lamentation, on every street in Moab, loud lamentation. As with a pottery jug that no one wants, I'll smash Moab to bits." God's Decree. | 38 On all the roofs in Moab and in the public squares there is nothing but mourning, for I have broken Moab like a jar that no one wants," declares the LORD. |
39 "Moab ruined! Moab shamed and ashamed to be seen! Moab a cruel joke! The stark horror of Moab!" | 39 "How shattered she is! How they wail! How Moab turns her back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule, an object of horror to all those around her." |
40 God's verdict on Moab. Indeed! "Look! An eagle is about to swoop down and spread its wings over Moab. | 40 This is what the LORD says: "Look! An eagle is swooping down, spreading its wings over Moab. |
41 The towns will be captured, the fortresses taken. Brave warriors will double up in pain, helpless to fight, like a woman giving birth to a baby. | 41 Kerioth will be captured and the strongholds taken. In that day the hearts of Moab's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. |
42 There'll be nothing left of Moab, nothing at all, because of his defiant arrogance against me. | 42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the LORD. |
43 "Terror and pit and trap are what you have facing you, Moab." God's Decree. | 43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of Moab," declares the LORD. |
44 "A man running in terror will fall into a trap. A man climbing out of a pit will be caught in a trap. This is my agenda for Moab on doomsday." God's Decree. | 44 "Whoever flees from the terror will fall into a pit, whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare; for I will bring upon Moab the year of her punishment," declares the LORD. |
45 "On the outskirts of Heshbon, refugees will pull up short, worn out. Fire will flame high from Heshbon, a firestorm raging from the capital of Sihon's kingdom. It will burn off Moab's eyebrows, will scorch the skull of the braggarts. | 45 "In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand helpless, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a blaze from the midst of Sihon; it burns the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of the noisy boasters. |
46 That's all for you, Moab! You worshipers of Chemosh will be finished off! Your sons will be trucked off to prison camps; your daughters will be herded into exile. | 46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed; your sons are taken into exile and your daughters into captivity. |
47 But yet there's a day that's coming when I'll put things right in Moab. "For now, that's the judgment on Moab." | 47 "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come," declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab. |

Kim Caraher
Childrens Fiction Author
Sadly, Kim Caraher passed away in 2007 after a long battle wth cancer. Kim was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She moved to Africa when she was seven, and lived in three countries before she came to Australia. The characters in her books often start at new schools, since she has plenty of experience of that! She eventually settled in the Top End of Australia Crocodile Dundee country. Kim loved being with children, and reading to them as well as writing for them. She spent her time writing and working in schools and libraries and doing a million other activities with her own three kids. In a child-centred world, every day there is something new, something unexpected, something hilarious. Kim captured some of that sparkle in her stories. For her, reading was about fun and excitement and that is what she brought to children in her books.
The Cockroach Cup was published by Random House in 1998. It was a Childrens Book Council (CBC) Notable Book in 1998 and short listed for the 2000 West Australian Young Readers Book Award. Everyone is looking for a top cockroach to win the Cockroach Cup. From the moment that Cool scuttles out into torchlight, he or is it she? is obviously a champion. But Cup Day brings more than a few surprises. My Teacher Turns into a Tyrannosaurus was published as an Addison Wesley Longman Supa Dooper in 1996 and is about a small childs school fears and how they are overcome. Over 50,000 copies have been sold in the USA and Australia. Up a Gum Tree was published in the second series of Supa Doopers in 1997. Yucky Poo, a Macmillan Cracker, was published in 1998. Young readers will love the revolting things the baby of the family eats.
Kim wrote two stories for older readers in the Pearson Education Trend series. Goanna Anna (1999) is about a girl who moves with her hippy mother from Melbourne to Humpty Doo, where she has to cope with camping, nude beaches, touring around market stalls and crocodiles. In Kakadu Nightmare (2001) a group of teenagers are trapped in a resort in Kakadu with a wierd man who is obsessed with knives and horror movies. Will they make it out alive? In 2003 Kim wrote Clinging to the Edge for Pearsons second Awesome series, also for older readers.
Random House published Kims final book for younger readers, Zip Zap, in 2001. This special tale, illustrated by Geoff Kelly, is about a computer game with a difference. Zip, the frill-necked lizard who is the star of the game, gives Jerome three wishes. However, they dont work out the way he expects!
As well as writing for children, Kim helped children and adults develop their creative and business writing skills, through workshops and presentations to schools, businesses and at the Northern Territory Writers Centre. She presented workshops for the Nestlé Write Around Australia and the Literacy Picture Conference in Darwin. In 2005, Kim went to the Remote Area Literacy Festival. Some authors, artists and performers camped at a bush race track with a few hundred Aboriginal children, their families and teachers. There were workshops under trees and tarpaulins, while the desert wind whipped around, and the temperature climbed (with the sun) from below freezing to T-shirt weather. She also reviewed books for the journal, Magpies, was a Childrens Book Council Judge and was on the planning committee for the ReViews Conference held in Adelaide, Australia, in 2005.

Nick Powills talks to Robert Schmidt of Flogging Molly
view image
The interview took place before the band's performance at the Vic Theatre, Chicago, on Saturday.
Where you be right now?
We are in Burmington, N.Y. We are doing a little tour right now.
How's the tour going?
It's going awesome, man. Things are going well.
And you are coming to Chicago. You've got to be pumped.
Um, we are always excited about coming back to Chicago. It's one of our favorite cities to come to.
That's what I like to hear, Now, Are you just saying that because your publicist gave you those orders?
(laughs) No, we truly love Chicago.
So are you going to go out and party when you get here?
Of course. We have a lot of friends there, so we are going to have to go out and see them.
Chicago has been good to Flogging Molly.
Yes it has. We recorded our first two albums in Chicago, so Chicago has been good to us.
What's it like playing in the Midwest compared to the coasts?
I think the kids are a little more hungry for the entertainment. They definitely come with their guns playing. They are always high-energy shows and the kids go ballistic. Kids in the Midwest definitely get it.
So, you guys probably love playing off of the energy when in the Midwest.
Oh yeah, absolutely. Whenever you get to any place in the Midwest, it's like that. And, Chicago has its own energy that is special.
What's it like backstage with you guys backstage? What's the party like?
It's not too hard-core. We like our drink, and, um we like to just hang out with each other. You know, get the energy flowin'. Just have a couple of beers and get ready to have a good show.
And how are the ladies on the road?
Do a little stretchin'. How are the ladies?
Yeah, how are them beautiful Flogging Molly women?
Everyone in the band is married.
Oh, that sucks.
I don't think Flogging Molly really attracts the best ladies (laughs). Flogging Molly is not the stud band of the year.
But, you guys do have some attractive females at your show, right?
Um, yeah, but, our crowd is kind of young. We are all getting up there. I'm not saying there aren't some nice looking but…
Careful there.
More of the band for the single man who drinks his beer and cries a little.
I was afraid you would say something like that.
This is a band that knows all about its crying and beer.
That's what I like to hear you guys touch everyone.
Exactly: we are trying to unify the whole scene.

any seafood-related conversations these days revolve around sustainability. Not a day passes without someone calling or e-mailing me about sustainable seafood. In January, I attended the Seafood Choices Alliance Seafood Summit for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to see so many seafood companies and non-profit groups in one venue. This would have been taboo in 1997, when the World Wildlife Fund and Unilever launched the Marine Stewardship Council. Clearly, a lot has changed in the past decade.
For many years, the industry and NGOs have had competing views of what sustainable seafood means. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the issue until I went to several scientific seminars during the summit. One session outlined a Dalhousie University student's research on the lifecycle assessment for producing organic farmed salmon in British Columbia. The research included a detailed analysis of the energy required to harvest fish to produce fishmeal for farmed salmon. I only could comprehend about half the discussion, and began to realize why defining farmed fish - or wild - as sustainable is so complex.
Fishmeal is the sticking point for most NGOs to ever fully accept farmed fish as sustainable, or even organic for that matter. I listened to one tilapia farmer discuss a sustainability program at a Honduras fish farm. The company has taken an entire village that relied solely on forestry for its livelihood, which was leading to destruction of all wildlife in the area, and completely turned it around. Schools, medical care and machinery that runs entirely on bio-fuel made from fish sludge were just a few points of the complete program. But in a later discussion about the farm with someone from the environmental camp, I learned the tilapia farm would never be considered sustainable by NGOs because the feed it uses comes from Cargill. All of that time, energy and money spent on reducing its impact on the environment and supporting an entire village and the farm would still not be considered sustainable? I was dumbfounded.
It would be naïve to say the industry is completely onboard with how the Seafood Choices Alliance and other NGOs are defining sustainable seafood. And considering the tilapia farm comment, it should remain skeptical. One of the largest hurdles to any NGO accepting farmed seafood as sustainable is fish feed. If all the greenies had their way, farmed fish would eat 100 percent soy-based feed. But a fish that tastes like shoe leather is not one I'd want to eat, and neither would consumers.

Casting Couch: Jack Black and Will Ferrell Play 'Tag,' Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel Make a 'Sex Tape,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 20, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? A handy way to keep up with what all of your favorite actors are going to be up to in the coming months and years. Does that make you a stalker? Today we've got word on who's the latest name to join George Clooney in Brad Bird's mysterious Tomorrowland. Few things in the world are funnier than Jack Black kicking Will Ferrell's dog off of a bridge, that much is certain. But take the hilarious animal cruelty out of the equation and would these two A-list comedians still be able to produce laughs together? We're about to find out, because THR is reporting that New Line is putting together a comedy called Tag, which has them attached as co-stars. The basic story of the film comes from a "Wall Street Journal" article about ten classmates from a Washington prep school, now all in their 40s, who get together one month out of the year to play an elaborate game of tag. This conceit, of course, is just the sort of manchild nonsense that these two should be able to knock out of the park, as long as they get a script everyone likes and the thing actually comes together.

State won't dump health website contractorMONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin said Friday that Vermont will stick with its main health exchange website contractor, despite reports that the federal government is set to replace the same contractor working on the federal government's troubled site.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the Obama administration will replace CGI after a disappointing rollout of the federal exchange site, HealthCare.gov, which serves 36 states. According to the Post, Accenture will sign a contract with the federal government to continue work on the site.
The Shumlin administration also hired CGI to create the state's exchange, known as Vermont Health Connect. Vermont is one of 14 states to design its own site and one of six states to choose CGI as its contractor.
Vermont's $84 million contract with CGI expires at the end of the year.
The federal site experienced failures immediately upon its Oct. 1 launch. The Post reported Friday that CGI's current federal contract expires in late February and a new one-year deal worth about $90 million will be signed with Accenture.
Vermont Health Connect experienced similar technological glitches.
Most users were unable to register and select health insurance plans on the federally mandated exchange after it went live. Access was improved after the first several weeks for individuals, but small businesses with 50 or fewer or employees are still unable to enroll in health care plans directly through the site.
The online payment system is also still not functioning. Premiums for those who have signed up through the Vermont exchange are being invoiced on paper and must be paid by check.
Vermont is the only state to mandate health insurance coverage for individuals and small businesses on the exchange.
Despite the challenges, Shumlin said Friday he plans to stick with CGI as it continues work to improve the site, and not bring in a new firm.
"Right now, we have been testing key pieces that will get our exchange where it needs to be to help small businesses sign up and to be able to pay electronically," the governor said in an interview.
"My focus — my sole focus right now — is working with CGI and our partners to have them get that right," he said. "It's taken them too long already, and my job is to keep the pedal to the metal."
Shumlin did not commit to sticking with CGI forever, though.
"I didn't say that," he said. "I said that my focus really has to be getting the pieces that we have been testing working."
Dumping CGI now would not be best for the state, according to Shumlin.
"When you're in the build of a complex technology project and you have contracted for a product that needs to be delivered, it's usually not in your best interest when you get 80 percent of the way to bring in a new contractor," he said.
Still, the governor said his team did consider that option.
"When we looked at the disappointing rollout in early October we looked at all the options and felt that it was in our best interest to do what we've been doing, which is to work together with a contractor that has disappointed us and try to get the product that they're asking us to pay for," Shumlin said.
He said his administration is continuing to work with CGI officials, but the relationship has been strained at times.
"We spent a lot of time with them, working together to try to get this right," Shumlin said. "There's been days where I've done that with charm and grace, and there's been days where I've used everything else in my arsenal, some of which my mom wouldn't be proud of. But we're trying to get results."
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, D-Windsor, after learning Friday that CGI would be replaced at the federal level, said that "we should probably do the same."
Shumlin did announce this week that Commerce Secretary Lawrence Miller would assist the Department of Vermont Health Access with the troubled site over the next several months.
Shumlin said the request for Miller's help came from DVHA Commissioner Mark Larson.
Darcie Johnston, head of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom and the administration's biggest critic on health reform efforts, said she is dismayed that Shumlin is sticking with CGI.
"I wish we had the federal exchange," she said. "Vermonters would have relief from this awful system that the governor has us trapped in."

Betterment Introduces Retirement Accounts, Lowers Fees
Betterment, the online investment manager for individuals that TechCrunch named "New York's Best Startup" in 2010, just announced it'll be delivering more for less. The startup introduced individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, in addition to its investing accounts, and changed to a lower fee structure at the same time. Betterment—a portmanteau of "better" and "investment"—charges users a percentage of assets under management; it has 10,000 paying users and 20,000 subscribers, founder and CEO Jon Stein told Betabeat.
With 13 employees in its Soho office, that's a pretty efficient company. Mr. Stein, a Certified Financial Analyst whose background is in investing and retail banking, wants Betterment's customers to manage their money efficiently as well. "Think of it as Apple meets Vanguard," he told Betabeat by phone last week. "A slick, intuitive interface on a smart investing backend." Read More

As Goradana puts it.. " I wanted to create a place where there's nothing and nobody else to honour and respect but this great mystery called life that carries us all. This is how 'The Sanctuary' is born.
As someone said 'we have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be', and so this is where I express myself: in pushing your limits so that you meet yourself. Maybe the meeting will be unconscious at first but hopefully through your commitment to stay till the end of our experience, it will become conscious.
Life is the ultimate teacher and its teachings are often difficult to contain, so this centre is simply one safer life lab:
• Our experience will have a known beginning and end to support our process of commitment;
• You always do what you can without hurting anyone physically or destroying the material around you;
• The tools are familiar: any body discipline, different meditations, massage, dance, drama, singing, … actually anything will do!
A tool is nothing but a pretext for the mind; it is only through commitment and trust that the unexpected can create a sudden space of silence inside us where we may be able to watch and see something about us. So the 'content' is unknown to both you and me just like in life: we only got the frame to play and remember to enjoy…
After all, a game is never serious but we've got to play it seriously! "
Getting There: Dharamkot is located just above McLeod Ganj(Home of Dalai Lama), also known as 'Upper Dharamsala.' There are two main ways of getting to Dharamsala: the first is to take a government or private bus directly to Dharamsala or Mcleodganj from any major city in Northern India such as Kulu, Mandi, Dheradun, Rishikesh, Agra or Delhi. The second way is to take a night train from Delhi to Pathankot, and then to proceed by Taxi from Pathankot to Mcleodganj. The nearest airport to dharmkot is located in Kangra, There are also direct flights now available between Delhi and Kangra.
